[ scene_break ] hope : you made a promise to douglas after caroline died that i would be like a new mother to him . thomas : that 's how it was supposed to be -- you , me , douglas , this happy family . hope : only it did n't work out that way , except for the fact that i did grow to love douglas as if he were my own son , and that is what you wanted . like you said , he needs a mother , and i can be that to him . i am that to him , and i will be if you let me . i think you know deep down that this is where he belongs , where he is happy and safe , and he 's like a big brother to beth , and , if you want to make up for the harm that you caused douglas and me , then ... thomas : that -- that -- that -- that is what i want . okay , look , i made decisions i ca n't justify , but i never meant to hurt you or douglas . hope : prove it . sign the papers . let me take care of him . let me nurture him because at this point i need to know that he 's safe with me , that he 's mine , that he 's not just gon na be ripped away , and douglas needs that security , too , and you have the power to give that to him . thomas : what you 're asking for is huge . i love my son . i want to do what 's best for him . having you as a mother -- obviously i know that you 'd be a great mother . i just -- i do n't know -- i 'm not saying that that 's not best for him . i ... i just ... i need to think , okay ? hope : so y ... you 'll consider it ? i mean , you 'll seriously ... consider letting me adopt him ? i know that this is the hardest decision you will ever have to make . thomas : your mother destroyed my family . hope : and i am ... thomas : you broke my heart . hope : ... so , so , sorry ... thomas : twice . hope : ... it 's come to this . thomas : i was done with all the logan women . i would have been happy to never see any of you again . hope : ... stability and the love ... thomas : but being here with you ... hope : ... with liam and me ... thomas : ... like this , looking in your beautiful eyes . hope : ... consistency ... thomas : hearing your sweet voice being gentle ... needing something from me . i just want to kiss you . you drive me insane . how -- how do you always get to me ? hope : will you , thomas ? thomas : what ? what ? hope : will you take what i 'm saying to heart and seriously consider signing the adoption papers ? thomas : yeah . i will , um ... i will seriously consider ... you adopting my son . hope : thank you . thomas : for what it 's worth , i stay awake nights thinking through all the things that i did wrong . i mean , how hard would it have been to just -- to just do the right thing , you know ? and -- and even ... even if you had left me ... you 'd still respect me . i 'm sorry , hope . i am so sorry for what i did to you , okay ? and i will spend the rest of my life proving to you how much i regret it , how much i regret what i did , okay ? and showing you that i care about you , how much i will always care about you .
steffy 's at work and ridge shows her thomas 's designs . she thinks not bad . he says a compliment from her would mean the world to thomas . she says she can not just forgive him like that for what he did . he says the same old ; they are family and it is not easy but necessary . she says thomas uses people and he uses his own son too . he says he is happy to see her working but it should be with her brother too . she tells him that hope was way out of line and she has no business dictating who will raise douglas . she 's not even blood kin . he tells her he moved out of brooke 's so he could be closer to her and to thomas . she reminds him not to wreck his marriage . he says he knows he and brooke are on opposite sides of the fence . she says and if brooke talks thomas into letting go of douglas then there are going to be many more rough days ahead . thomas tells brooke that she wants him to give away his son ; he is not going to sign over his son . hope wants to talk to thomas alone . brooke does not agree but gives in and says she will be right up the hill . liam is not happy to hear that hope is alone with thomas . brooke tells liam that he needs to speak up if there is any chance they can get douglas . thomas tells hope that hurting her is the biggest regret of his life . he 's not used to rejection and it threw him a little when he knew she did not want him . he was too stubborn to admit it and he was ashamed . and letting douglas stay with her does not mean he does not love his son . he would only sign those papers for hope . he lost his way but he has been trying to better himself . if he can not have that life with hope then maybe douglas still can . she reminds him that he wanted her to be douglas 's mother . so she begs him to sign the papers and let her and liam have him permanently . she just wants to give him all the love and support that he wanted . if thomas wants to make up to her for what he did then sign these papers .

[ scene_break ] hope : you made a promise to douglas after caroline died that i would be like a new mother to him . thomas : that 's how it was supposed to be -- you , me , douglas , this happy family . hope : only it did n't work out that way , except for the fact that i did grow to love douglas as if he were my own son , and that is what you wanted . like you said , he needs a mother , and i can be that to him . i am that to him , and i will be if you let me . i think you know deep down that this is where he belongs , where he is happy and safe , and he 's like a big brother to beth , and , if you want to make up for the harm that you caused douglas and me , then ... thomas : that -- that -- that -- that is what i want . okay , look , i made decisions i ca n't justify , but i never meant to hurt you or douglas . hope : prove it . sign the papers . let me take care of him . let me nurture him because at this point i need to know that he 's safe with me , that he 's mine , that he 's not just gon na be ripped away , and douglas needs that security , too , and you have the power to give that to him . thomas : what you 're asking for is huge . i love my son . i want to do what 's best for him . having you as a mother -- obviously i know that you 'd be a great mother . i just -- i do n't know -- i 'm not saying that that 's not best for him . i ... i just ... i need to think , okay ? hope : so y ... you 'll consider it ? i mean , you 'll seriously ... consider letting me adopt him ? i know that this is the hardest decision you will ever have to make . thomas : your mother destroyed my family . hope : and i am ... thomas : you broke my heart . hope : ... so , so , sorry ... thomas : twice . hope : ... it 's come to this . thomas : i was done with all the logan women . i would have been happy to never see any of you again . hope : ... stability and the love ... thomas : but being here with you ... hope : ... with liam and me ... thomas : ... like this , looking in your beautiful eyes . hope : ... consistency ... thomas : hearing your sweet voice being gentle ... needing something from me . i just want to kiss you . you drive me insane . how -- how do you always get to me ? hope : will you , thomas ? thomas : what ? what ? hope : will you take what i 'm saying to heart and seriously consider signing the adoption papers ? thomas : yeah . i will , um ... i will seriously consider ... you adopting my son . hope : thank you . thomas : for what it 's worth , i stay awake nights thinking through all the things that i did wrong . i mean , how hard would it have been to just -- to just do the right thing , you know ? and -- and even ... even if you had left me ... you 'd still respect me . i 'm sorry , hope . i am so sorry for what i did to you , okay ? and i will spend the rest of my life proving to you how much i regret it , how much i regret what i did , okay ? and showing you that i care about you , how much i will always care about you .Summarize.[/INST]steffy 's at work and ridge shows her thomas 's designs . she thinks not bad . he says a compliment from her would mean the world to thomas . she says she can not just forgive him like that for what he did . he says the same old ; they are family and it is not easy but necessary . she says thomas uses people and he uses his own son too . he says he is happy to see her working but it should be with her brother too . she tells him that hope was way out of line and she has no business dictating who will raise douglas . she 's not even blood kin . he tells her he moved out of brooke 's so he could be closer to her and to thomas . she reminds him not to wreck his marriage . he says he knows he and brooke are on opposite sides of the fence . she says and if brooke talks thomas into letting go of douglas then there are going to be many more rough days ahead . thomas tells brooke that she wants him to give away his son ; he is not going to sign over his son . hope wants to talk to thomas alone . brooke does not agree but gives in and says she will be right up the hill . liam is not happy to hear that hope is alone with thomas . brooke tells liam that he needs to speak up if there is any chance they can get douglas . thomas tells hope that hurting her is the biggest regret of his life . he 's not used to rejection and it threw him a little when he knew she did not want him . he was too stubborn to admit it and he was ashamed . and letting douglas stay with her does not mean he does not love his son . he would only sign those papers for hope . he lost his way but he has been trying to better himself . if he can not have that life with hope then maybe douglas still can . she reminds him that he wanted her to be douglas 's mother . so she begs him to sign the papers and let her and liam have him permanently . she just wants to give him all the love and support that he wanted . if thomas wants to make up to her for what he did then sign these papers .</s>

wyatt urges lars to set up a romantic trip down the canal but not to tell hope . just let liam and ivy think it is a special dutch welcome . quinn confides in deacon that if wyatt can set something up maybe it will speed things along from just the handholding stage with ivy and liam . she even proposes a trip to amsterdam for her and deacon . he shows her a pix of the sonogram of her grandson and how this would be a terrible idea to interfere more . she is her own worst enemy . she will screw up wyatt 's relationship behind the scenes . he says it makes sense to get ivy and liam together but she is pushing too hard . she says she can not stand around and do nothing . he says they will always be there for them when they need them , but wyatt and hope need space . let hope come to her . eva says ivy is the mystery behind the jewelry and she should be in front of the camera too . hope and wyatt are not exactly for that but say they will get back to her . hope tells wyatt that enough is enough and she does not want ivy moving in on her life anymore . that includes modeling and being with liam too . she says she is sorry . wyatt says he is not jealous . she says it 's not like she can say no so she will deal with it .

[ cell phone beeps ] liam : oh , shoot . ivy : what ? liam : uh , i have a conference call , and i ca n't really take it here . ivy : no , go . go back to the hotel , take care of things , and i 'll catch up with you later . liam : mm ... you sure ? ivy : yeah . yes , go . i 'll -- i 'll be fine . deacon : will you promise me that you 're not gon na do anything impulsive ? quinn : fine . i wo n't go to amsterdam . satisfied ? deacon : yeah , if you stick to it . i mean , wyatt is a grown man , all right ? he can handle this , so let him . trust me -- you 're gon na score a lot more points with hope this way . eva : thank you so much . liam : you think that he gave you this diamond for the whole world to see for business ? no . he did it because he believes that that diamond has a hold on you , hope . now you tell me -- does it ? hope : they should n't even be in amsterdam together . wyatt : [ chuckles ] it gets to you , does n't it -- seeing them together ? it 's okay . hope : [ sighs ] wyatt : it 's how i used to feel seeing you and liam together , okay ? hope : i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry . and i - i do n't want you to think that just because i 'm talking about -- wyatt : do n't even worry about it , okay ? i 'm not jealous . why would i be jealous ? i have nothing to be jealous about . i 'm not jealous . okay ? so ... ivy and the shoot -- what do you want to do ? hope : mm . um ... it 's -- it 's not like i can say no . then it 's gon na look like i 'm doing it out of spite . wyatt : yeah . um ... ivy : uh , eva wants to ask us a few questions , hope . wyatt : hmm . where 's liam ? ivy : he 's on his way back to the hotel . wyatt : oh . maybe i should , uh , do the same , unless you need me to stick around for anything . hope : no . no . that 's okay . bye . ivy : look , i - i think we both know why you 're upset . you still ca n't let go of liam , can you ? [ water running in distance ] quinn : hallo ? [ clears throat ] hi . do you speak english ? uh , yes . i 'm checking in on my son and his wife -- wyatt spencer and hope . have they checked in to their room yet ? yes . would you like me to connect you ? quinn : no , no . that 's okay . i 'm gon na let them settle in . anything else ? quinn : yeah . the couple that they 're traveling with -- liam spencer and ivy forrester -- have they checked in to their room , as well ? mr. spencer and ms . forrester have separate rooms . quinn : what ? no . no , no , no . that 's a mistake . they should be in the same room . no , ma'am . quinn : can i make that change for them ? uh [ chuckles ] i 'm afraid not . [ sighs ] liam : uh -- uh , wait . wait a second . wait a second . sorry . um , these bags -- these are my friend ivy forrester 's . i think they belong in her room . wyatt : problem , bro ? liam : uh , no , no . it 's fine . it 's just ivy 's bags got taken to my room . can you handle this ? right away , sir . liam : oh , awesome . thank you . thank you . thank you . um , i mean dank je wel . bent u welkom . liam : yeah . enjoy your stay . wyatt : thanks . liam : thank you . wyatt : huh . liam : what ? wyatt : do n't know . nothing , i guess . it 's just ... did you ever wonder if fate is trying to tell you something ? eva : no , no . tell shaun to meet me in dam square . no , in an hour . can -- i 'm sorry . can you hold on one second ? i 'm so sorry , ladies . i have to deal with this . hope : mm - hmm . eva : yes . we have to do the location set today . hope : i really do n't want to go here again . ivy : oh , well , you 're not exactly denying it . hope : i -- [ chuckles ] no , i - i - i did when you accused me of not being honest with myself . ivy : hope , that was n't an accusation . i have eyes . i can see that you 're struggling with this . hope : i 'm not ... struggling . i just think that you could be a little more considerate . ivy : how ? how , hope -- by not flaunting my relationship with liam in front of you ? because i do n't feel like i 'm doing that . from the very start , you have said it 's too soon for liam and i to get into a relationship . but how long is this gon na go on for ? when are you eventually gon na let him go ? hope : i am . i am doing that . i 'm married , and i 'm pregnant . ivy : yes , exactly , but it still obviously bothers you , seeing us together , so that just leads me to believe that you still have feelings for him -- hope : of course , i do ! of course , i do , ivy . what do you want me to say ? it hurts . it hurts seeing the two of you together , okay ? yes , i want liam to be happy . yes , i want what is best for him . but it takes ... time . it 's going to take some time to get over what we had , and if i am not doing that fast enough for you , well , that 's just -- that 's too damn bad .Summarize.[/INST]wyatt urges lars to set up a romantic trip down the canal but not to tell hope . just let liam and ivy think it is a special dutch welcome . quinn confides in deacon that if wyatt can set something up maybe it will speed things along from just the handholding stage with ivy and liam . she even proposes a trip to amsterdam for her and deacon . he shows her a pix of the sonogram of her grandson and how this would be a terrible idea to interfere more . she is her own worst enemy . she will screw up wyatt 's relationship behind the scenes . he says it makes sense to get ivy and liam together but she is pushing too hard . she says she can not stand around and do nothing . he says they will always be there for them when they need them , but wyatt and hope need space . let hope come to her . eva says ivy is the mystery behind the jewelry and she should be in front of the camera too . hope and wyatt are not exactly for that but say they will get back to her . hope tells wyatt that enough is enough and she does not want ivy moving in on her life anymore . that includes modeling and being with liam too . she says she is sorry . wyatt says he is not jealous . she says it 's not like she can say no so she will deal with it .</s>

[ slams hand ] you know what ? from this moment forward , right now , right now , you 're not gon na blame steffy anymore for being a woman who takes action , who wants to live this life . do n't blame steffy for being who she is -- a spencer . [ scene_break ] steffy : everyone 's being so nice . taylor : why should n't they be ? steffy : welcoming me back like i 'm some kind of hero . i 'm not . taylor : honey , everyone wants you to know that they care about you . they respect you , and they 're glad you 're okay . thomas : nobody blames you , steffy . steffy : i caused this . i could have stayed at your house . i could have ... i could have handled hope , but no . no -- i had to go see liam . selfish . that 's what everybody means underneath `` welcome back `` and `` are you okay ? `` taylor : no . no . that ... that is not true . nobody thinks that . especially not thomas and me . thomas : no . steffy : i do n't know what you think of me . i do n't know what i think of myself . taylor : [ sighs ] oh , sweetheart . steffy : [ inhales deeply ] [ sighs ] oh , god . hope : i 'm sorry . i sound so insensitive . brooke : no , you do n't . hope : yeah , i do . brooke : you were robbed ... hope : [ sighs ] brooke : ... of an entire life with liam -- marriage , children . it 's not insensitive to wonder if it could possibly still happen . hope : well , if steffy has her way , i wo n't even have a chance to wonder . [ sighs ] brooke : what ? hope : she wants to get pregnant again right away , according to taylor . brooke : that would be the worst thing for them -- to rush into another pregnancy . hope : that 's what she said , and she warned me to stay away from liam . brooke : i ca n't believe this . how could taylor go along with that ? she is a psychiatrist , and she 's steffy 's mother . hope : look , i - i would never dream of breaking up a family . you know , and if liam -- if he wants to stay with steffy and try for another child , then ... okay , but i do n't think that 's what he wants . i know that right now , he has to be with steffy , and i told him that i understand they need time to grieve . brooke : you said that to him ? hope : yeah , of course . they 're ... they 're suffering , and he needs to be there for steffy , and he will , but after a while , he can step back and look at his life . mom , without a pregnancy to consider , he can choose the future that he wants and who he wants to live it with . [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] taylor : i saw hope leaving . brooke : you were looking for me ? taylor : yes . brooke : why ? taylor : well , steffy 's back at work , trying to get her life back to normal , and , well , would you continue to encourage hope to give steffy her space ? brooke : i feel for steffy and liam . this is a very difficult time for them , and the last thing they need is any interference from us . taylor : what exactly does that mean ? brooke : hope told me what you 're doing -- pushing them to try for another baby . taylor : supporting . i 'm not pushing . brooke : how could you possibly think that that is a good idea ? [ scene_break ] bill : your wife needs you , liam , more than ever . liam : i know . i know , dad , and i need her , too . i mean , we lost a baby , for crying out loud . the best way to get through this is together , but -- but why am i feeling this way ? i mean , how is it possible that i can be married to somebody like steffy , somebody as perfect and wonderful and beautiful as steffy , and still have thoughts about leaving her ? how is that -- bill : exactly . liam : no . no , not `` exactly , `` dad . it 's because of hope . i mean , this girl was my first love . and guess what . she 's still here . [ scene_break ] hope : hi . i heard you were back . steffy : hey . hope : um , how are you ? steffy : i 'm coping . hope : i 'm sorry . no one should ever have to go through this . steffy : sorry enough to stay away ? hope : from you ? steffy : my husband . you believe the only reason he married me was because of the child , and now that it 's gone ... you know , you 're probably calculating how much time to give -- one week , two . how long does a logan let a couple grieve before she makes her move ? hope : i think this is a little unfair . steffy : talk about fair after you 've lost a child . hope : steffy , i 'm not trying to argue with you . i know how much pain you 're in . steffy : but you ca n't help but wonder how you might benefit . this is your chance to prove what kind of woman you are . hope : steffy , if liam chooses someone -- steffy : he chose me , and you need to accept that . let 's not make the same mistakes our mothers made , wasting so many years clinging to something , all these broken dreams . it was n't the pregnancy that brought us together , hope . it was love . and now my child is gone . my baby is dead . my loss , liam 's loss is not some opening for you . you need to respect my life . he 's my husband . so you respect my marriage .
steffy returns to work although she 'd rather be home but she knows she ca n't hide forever . brooke announces to hope that steffy is back so she probably will run into her . they discuss having spencer / logan babies . of course hope has no clue she is also talking about her own mother . she does n't think steffy should be trying to get pregnant again so soon nor does she think liam wants that . without the pregnancy , he can now step back and decide what he wants . bill tells liam not to blame steffy for who she is . hope might sit back and knit booties , but steffy likes adventure . that is one of the reasons that liam fell in love with steffy so do n't deny it . he 's delighted that steffy wants to have another baby so soon even though liam has his doubts . the world would be a better place with more spencers . bill says liam 's wife needs him now more than ever . liam says he knows but hope was his first love and she is still in his heart and he ca n't help but think about leaving steffy .

olivia : mm - hmm . bill : he just told you to take over my family 's company . olivia : no . no , he said it was my call . bill : and that is a test , olivia . it 's a test . if you do n't take over lewis , then you fail the test . you 're disloyal to alan and he gives you the boot . do n't you understand ? he gave you that file in front of me because he wants you to choose between us . do n't let him win . come on , olivia . i want us to win . olivia : on your terms . bill : no , that 's ... olivia : yes ! listen to me . you ... you get to perjure yourself for harley , you get to build houses for her , you even get to sleep with her ! and i have to be a saint or i 'm selfish ?

edmund : i know how much she wanted this child . cassie : okay , can we please stop ? jeffrey , can you leave ? edmund 's the father , and i can cut him out of some things , but not everything , and he has a right to be here . please . jeffrey : ( sighs ) all right . call me if you need me . cassie : i will . i have your cell number . thank you . edmund : unbelievable , his bullying his way in here like that . cassie : bullying would be fertilizing my eggs and implanting them in dinah . that would be bullying . edmund : if you do n't want this child , cassie , then tell me . cassie : well , of course i want the child now , edmund . edmund : then stop saying i made a mistake . dr. sedwick : edmund , i 'm so glad you 're here . well , why do n't you both come in together , and you can have a look . see that shape right there ?

you 're not telling reva ? what do you mean ? she 's your mom . you love her . sandy : let 's not get carried away . tammy : and more importantly , she loves you . if you leave her like that , it 'll crush her . sandy : yeah , tammy 's right about that . you should n't do this to reva . jonathan : did you ever think maybe my staying would hurt reva ? did you ever think about that ? sandy : let me ask you a question : has this been the plan from the beginning ? you get close to reva , you make her think you care , and then you just rip her heart out and crush her for good ? is that really your master plan ? tony : okay , come on , marina . you know you want this divorce to go on just as much as i do . marina : sure , i want the divorce to go on , tony , but that 's just because it 's what danny wants . tony : and you 're sure about that , huh ?

you did n't what ? bill : look , the reason i came here was to ... olivia : to blame alan for everything 's that 's gone wrong between us . i got that . but that 's not it . it 's not his fault . this is about you and me and how we keep hurting each other . bill : okay , wait a minute . you honestly believe that you would be happier living here with people that would betray you at the drop of a hat ? olivia : you could only be betrayed by someone that you trust . at least here no one pretends to love me . bill : i was n't pretending . were you ? olivia : my daughter needs me . alan : bill , i 'm really glad you stopped by . because you have made my day . you stopped by because you have marina : you know i 'm really glad we talked about this . danny : thank you . marina : really . i want us to be honest each other . always . even when it 's hard . danny : me , too . how 'd i get so lucky to find you ?

cassie : yes , i want her to live here . because i want to make sure she 's taking care of herself and my baby . plus , i want to make sure she does n't have any room to pull anything . jeffrey : oh , and you think living here is going to stop her ? look , i 'm sorry . i ... i just did n't ... i did n't expect this . cassie : surprise . jeffrey : you know , cassie , you keep talking about this baby , and how it 's going to be your baby and how you 're going to take care of it . but you know there is another part of the equation here you 're forgetting about . cassie : edmund . jeffrey : yeah . the father , cassie . cassie : i do n't even want to see him right now . he 's done enough . i 'm taking over . i 'm doing it . jeffrey : okay . good for you . i guess i 'd better get going . you know , you 're going to need someone on your side . cassie : thank you . thank you for everything . thank you for the other night . and for letting me sleep in your t - shirt . jeffrey : not just any t - shirt . that was a van halen t - shirt . vintage . well , that was fun . cassie : yeah , it was fun . jeffrey : but a lot has changed since that night . so i 'll see you later . cassie : wait . not everything 's changed , jeffrey . marina : coming up on `` guiding light `` ... olivia : you get to perjure yourself for harley , you get to build houses for , you even get to sleep with her ( laughs ) and i have to be a saint or selfish ?

i 'll take it . bill : wait a second . what ... olivia : what ? alan : now , bill , i know you came over here to warn me about taking over lewis construction , but you 're going to have to talk to olivia about that now . olivia , if you think this is a good company that we should acquire , it 's up to you . danny : hey . so what 's going on ?

( cell phone rings ) edmund : hello ? dinah : edmund . you need to be here , now . bill : all right , you are going to tell alan that you 're not taking this job , olivia . olivia : no , no . i want the job . bill : you want the job ? olivia : mm - hmm . bill : he just told you to take over my family 's company . olivia : no . no , he said it was my call . bill : and that is a test , olivia . it 's a test . if you do n't take over lewis , then you fail the test . you 're disloyal to alan and he gives you the boot . do n't you understand ? he gave you that file in front of me because he wants you to choose between us . do n't let him win . come on , olivia . i want us to win . olivia : on your terms . bill : no , that 's ... olivia : yes ! listen to me . you ... you get to perjure yourself for harley , you get to build houses for her , you even get to sleep with her ! and i have to be a saint or i 'm selfish ? i have to give up everything that i have worked long and hard for ? you have to give up nothing ? that is no deal for me , bill . bill : that 's no deal ? olivia : no . bill : oh , there it is . there it is . there 's that shark that i fell in love with . so you really want to go up against me on this , huh ? head to head ? olivia : and may the best man win . bill : trust me , i will . cassie : ( sighs ) what are you doing here ? edmund : should n't i be asking him that question ? cassie : look , jeffrey came by the house and he saw dinah , so i told him what happened . jeffrey : it was a nice stunt , edmund . i 'll have to review the case law , see how many you broke this time . edmund : i 'm not sure you 'd have the time , mr . o'neill . riding to cassie 's rescue every two seconds must be awfully time - consuming . jeffrey : yeah , like going behind her back . that takes time , too , but you managed to pull it off , right ? edmund : i know how much she wanted this child . cassie : okay , can we please stop ? jeffrey , can you leave ? edmund 's the father , and i can cut him out of some things , but not everything , and he has a right to be here . please . jeffrey : ( sighs ) all right . call me if you need me . cassie : i will . i have your cell number . thank you . edmund : unbelievable , his bullying his way in here like that . cassie : bullying would be fertilizing my eggs and implanting them in dinah . that would be bullying . edmund : if you do n't want this child , cassie , then tell me . cassie : well , of course i want the child now , edmund . edmund : then stop saying i made a mistake . dr. sedwick : edmund , i 'm so glad you 're here . well , why do n't you both come in together , and you can have a look . see that shape right there ? edmund : is that ... ? dr. sedwick : your child . cassie : oh , my god . tammy : you 're leaving town ? sandy : you need help packing ? tammy : sandy . sandy : he 's doing the right thing , tammy . and it 's about time . jonathan : gee , thanks . i live for your approval . sandy : you hate it here . you 've made that abundantly clear from day one . you can still have a relationship with reva . she can go visit you wherever . jonathan : yeah , well , not unless she gets her psychic powers back because i 'm not telling her where i 'm going . tammy : wait . what ? you 're not telling reva ? what do you mean ? she 's your mom . you love her . sandy : let 's not get carried away . tammy : and more importantly , she loves you . if you leave her like that , it 'll crush her . sandy : yeah , tammy 's right about that . you should n't do this to reva . jonathan : did you ever think maybe my staying would hurt reva ?

billy : i 've been thinking about ... what you said about ... marrying chelsea for all the wrong reasons . jack : oh , no , no , no . i -- i should n't have said all that . i -- i 'm sorry . billy : jack , i did n't get angry at you for what you said . i blew up because you 're right . victor : ca n't a father simply enjoy having dinner with his daughter ? victoria : other fathers , maybe . victor : aha . victoria : mm - hmm . victor : in other words , you 're doubting the sincerity of my paternal feelings . victoria : no , i just know that you 're not above using them to your advantage . victor : so , what do you think the real reason is for inviting you out tonight ? victoria : a little wine , a little ambiance , simple light conversation . maybe you were hoping to convince me to back your takeover of jabot . victor : is it working ? victoria : no . victor : i was hoping that you 'd be on board . victoria : how do you know that this will even happen , dad ? ashley : hello , you two . victor : well , my goodness . ashley . ashley : hi ! i 'm so happy to run into you . so i can give you each one of these before we run out . after the mention we got on `` the talk , `` hex is flying off the shelves . looks like we got ourselves a winner . victor : i 'll be damned . victoria : one round of success does n't guarantee that it 's gon na be a success . ashley : that 's true . that 's very true . except for the fact that i think if your father did n't smell huge profits , he would n't have made an offer to buy jabot . victor : mm . victoria : you made an official offer ? ashley : you know what 's even more strange ? he actually thinks that jack 's gon na consider it . billy : asking chelsea to marry me was , um ... jack : impulsive ? reckless ? ill - advised ? billy : i 'm not saying i do n't love her . i do , very much . my timing may have been motivated by ... other things . jack : such as ... ? billy : i guess i wanted to see how deep her feelings were for me . jack : then , you were putting her through a test . billy : no , not consciously . i guess i was just worried about investing in a future that may not happen , you know ? jack : oh , billy , there are no guarantees when it comes to the future . billy : i know . i do . i just , um ... okay . all right . here come those ... three words you love so much -- you were right . i let gabe get to me . i let him feel like a threat to my relationship with chelsea , and i just feel so pathetic . i know how that sounds . it 's -- jack : no , it sounds perfectly human , but fear of losing someone is no reason to jump into a marriage . billy : you 're gon na make me say it again , are n't you ? jack : yeah , i do n't hear it that often . billy : you 're right . marrying chelsea because i 'm worried about gabe -- i mean , that 's just stupid . and you know what ? it does n't matter if the guy 's hot for her . it 's not like she 'd ever be interested in him anyway . right ? adam : you 're saying you 're not sure about your feelings for billy ? chelsea : no . i love billy . i 'm just , uh ... i 'm just wondering if maybe i -- i rushed to get married because -- adam : 'cause of adam . chelsea : well , i -- i tried to convince myself that marrying billy would give me some kind of closure with adam . adam : and now ? now you 're not so sure , are you ? chelsea : i thought that accepting billy 's wedding proposal would ... help adam 's memory to fade in my mind , but , really , it 's done the opposite . i feel like -- i feel like i think about him now more than ever . that should n't be . adam : okay . sit down . chelsea , it 's not wrong that you still love your husband . chelsea : adam is dead . i should be able to move on , and i ca n't . it 's not fair . it 's not fair to billy , to marry him , if i still have all of these unresolved feelings for adam . adam : what 're you gon na do ? nick : i do n't know what you 're talking about . sharon : well , i know how that can be , not being able to remember . let me help you . we were in high school . we were n't together , but we had been . i wanted to take things slow , but your hormones were in a hurry . nick : yeah , i hooked up with amy . sharon : amy was n't the only one you hooked up with . there were lots of girls who wanted to be in nick newman 's little black book , including sandra . you do remember her . nick : yeah , i remember . sharon : well , you should . she was the only junior you invited to that big party you had on the ranch senior year . well , what a party that was -- loud music , skinny - dipping , no adults , lots of booze . and everyone was having a great time . the party was hopping until someone broke an expensive knickknack . nick : it was an antique vase . my parents picked it up on a trip to europe . sharon : and you got so angry , you sent everyone home ... except sandra . the two of you kept drinking . you even brought out that expensive bottle of vodka victor brought home from russia . and it did n't seem to bother you that she was a minor . well , i guess you were enjoying her company a little too much . neither one of you wanted the night to end . but it did , abruptly ... when something happened to sandra that changed her life forever . nick : there 's no way you know what happened that night . sharon : unless i was there . nick : you 're lying . sharon : i never left . i went to the bathroom to wash my face and pull myself together . i was gon na tell you i wanted to get back together with you , but when i went back out to the pool , you were n't alone . you were with sandy . which was fitting . she was a swimmer . a diver , actually . nick : is there a point to this story ? sharon : she was good . not just high - school good . sandy was getting ready to compete in the olympic trials . nick : yeah , i guess she was -- she was gon na make the team . sharon : platform diving . that was her specialty . you were teasing her about how high a platform she could dive from . `` i 'll give you $ 100 if you can dive off the balcony into the pool , `` you said . nick : no . no , that is not the way it happened . she -- she asked me how much i 'd give her if she dove off the balcony . sharon : well , your memory 's a little fuzzy , right ? alcohol will do that . nick : we were both pretty drunk . sharon : that must be the reason why she took you up on your crazy offer -- that and the fact that she wanted to impress you , which she did , with a perfect dive off the balcony into the pool . but then ... nick : she did n't come up . sharon : no . nick : i thought she was just messing around . you know , like she wanted me to jump in and try and rescue her . sharon : it was a few minutes before you realized she was in trouble . nick : when i got her out , she was unconscious . sharon : you used cpr to revive her , and you were very happy she started breathing again . and then sandy said she could n't move . and the look on your face ... nick : okay . just stop . sharon : before the ambulance got here , victor showed up . the security guards had called him . nikki was n't home , and they were concerned the party was getting out of control . nick : i was just a stupid kid . sharon : and you were about to pay a very big price for your stupidity . but that 's not how the story ended . dylan : why would sharon send herself and you threatening messages ? abby : you 're right . it does n't make any sense . i should n't have accused her . dylan : but you did . why ? abby : i 've already said too much . dylan : those were noah 's exact words when he let it slip that you got a message , too . what are you guys afraid of ? stitch : no offense , man , but this is none of your business . dylan : something or someone has scared a lot of people , including sharon . stitch : and that 's why you need to let this go . dylan : okay . if you do n't tell me how abby 's attack is connected to these threats , i 'm gon na call somebody who will . abby : who are you gon na call ? dylan : i 'm gon na call paul . abby : no , you can not talk to paul . stitch : she 's right . abby : no , you ca n't talk to anybody . if anybody finds out -- dylan : finds out what ? ! abby : that austin was murdered ! phyllis : there is another reason i came by today . jack and i have chosen a date . avery : you have . that 's great . phyllis : yes , but we 're going away . we 're gon na do it privately , just the two of us . so , there 's no need for a maid of honor . avery : wait . you were gon na ask me to be your maid of honor ? phyllis : you 're my sister . avery : well , i thought that was more of an annoyance than something that had significant meaning to you . phyllis : well , you know what they say about a year in a coma . it stirs up all kinds of feelings . avery : hmm . like the bond between sisters ? phyllis : oh , the bond that can never be broken . unless one of them tries to commit the other into an insane asylum . avery : so you are still mad at me . phyllis : yeah . you know , all is forgiven . avery : good . it seems to be my year for that . phyllis : why ? who else has absolved you of your past sins ? avery : joe and i have come to an understanding about how our marriage ended . phyllis : you mean that infidelity thing ? avery : yes , thank you for putting it so delicately . phyllis : well , that 's good . that 's good you could wrap things up before he gets back to chicago . avery : uh , yeah , he 's not going back . phyllis : why not ? avery : because he took a job here in genoa city , running a foundation for victims of domestic abuse . phyllis : okay . well , let me guess -- he wants a lawyer to work with him . avery : it 's a good cause , phyllis . phyllis : yeah , but is it a good idea to be working with your ex ? avery : why is everyone making such a big deal out of this ? nick gave me a hard time , too . you guys are exes . you get along great . phyllis : you know , i 'm not saying it 's impossible . i 'm just saying it 's a lot harder when one of them is still in love with the other . adam : have you decided what you 're gon na do about billy ? chelsea : there 's only one thing i can do -- tell him how i feel . adam : it 's not gon na be easy , but , uh ... i think it 's the right thing to do . chelsea : i just worry that ... he might not want to wait for me to get over my feelings for adam . adam : chelsea , i think if someone really loved you -- really loved you -- they would wait for you forever . chelsea : i just worry that billy will think that adam will never be out of my heart , that i 'll never be able to fully commit to him . adam : hmm . and he could walk away ? chelsea : i 've thought of that . adam : okay . and if he does ? what 'll you do ? chelsea : i do n't know . jack : i get the feeling that your delaying your marriage to chelsea is about more than what you 're saying . billy : and i get the feeling you 're going to tell me what that is . jack : well , i just think it 's interesting that victoria was the one to tell you about kelly 's death . that had to bring up some painful memories . billy : like how i screwed up my marriage ? jack : hey , you and kelly were both trying to heal from unbearable loss . billy : yeah , yeah . i should 've turned to victoria , jack . she was my anchor . now i guess i 'm hoping that ... getting married to chelsea is going to get me grounded again . jack : i do n't think it 's fair to ask anyone to do that for you . have you talked to chelsea about this ? chelsea : talked to chelsea about what ? jack : hey , chels . hey , listen , i got to get out of here . billy : yeah , yeah . jack : talk to you later . chelsea : hi . um , actually , there 's , uh ... there 's something i want to tell you , too . billy : you go first . chelsea : actually , you go . you go . both : i think we should put off the wedding . ashley : it 's so nice of you to order this champagne . victor : mm - hmm . ashley : unfortunately , i have to cut our celebration short . i have a meeting with jabot 's international distributor . hex is going global . victor : global . i 'll be damned . well , congratulations . ashley : thank you so much . do n't mean to gloat . victor : [ chuckles ] ashley : okay . i kind of do . i do . well , see you guys later . bye . victor : have a nice day . ashley : thanks again . victor : thank you for bringing these by . they 're just ... hex -- i 'll be damned . victoria : you took that very well . victor : i 'm very happy for ashley . victoria : really ? it did n't bother you when she threw jabot 's success in your face ? victor : no , because ... before long , she 'll be working for me . dylan : you think austin was killed because of the documentary he was making on the newmans and abbotts ? stitch : someone wanted to put a stop to it . dylan : and all those threatening messages -- yours , sharon 's ... ? abby : there was one at the cabin , too , and summer found it . dylan : this dude is serious . abby : that 's why you ca n't go to the police . dylan : okay . so , you -- you and summer found austin 's body . right ? it makes sense whoever 's behind it would want to send you messages to back you off , but why would sharon be threatened ? stitch : someone must think she knows something about austin 's murderer , or , you know , she knows something that 's on his computer . i do n't know . abby : she knows because she talked to him on camera . austin 's the one she gave an interview to . abby : yeah , and maybe she had some second thoughts about what she told him . it 's not that big of a leap to think that she knocked off austin to stop him from releasing the interview . and now she 's trying to keep all of us from going to the police . dylan : what about the threat to sharon ? abby : i do n't know . maybe she sent them to herself , to throw us all off . dylan : come on . the person that we 're dealing with is obviously a dangerous killer . that 's not sharon . abby : says you . stitch : okay . whoever it is has us doing exactly what they want . dylan : it 's time to fight back . stitch : what do you have in mind ? dylan : what 's the first rule in war ? stitch : identify the enemy . nick : i know how the story ended . sandra pulled through . sharon : after dozens of surgeries and years of therapy , she walked again . but she never dove again . she missed her chance at the olympic trials , her shot at getting a scholarship at a college . everything she worked for , everything she dreamed off , was gone . nick : i tried ... for years to get ahold of her . she would n't return any of my phone calls or answer any of my letters . i never understood that , because dad said she accepted full responsibility for the accident . sharon : yeah . she claimed she was already drunk before she got to the ranch . but diving off the balcony was her idea . she said the whole thing was her fault . nick : it 's still so hazy . sharon : well , let me fill in the blanks for you . i was hiding behind the pool house when the paramedics arrived , and i overheard them tell victor it did n't look good for sandy , and they rushed her to the hospital . and victor made a phone call . nick : to who ? sharon : i do n't know , but he told the person on the other end that you had made a big mess , and he needed them to clean it up . he told them what happened to sandy , that you had given her alcohol , and that she was a minor . he said to tell her family that he would cover all of her medical expenses , he would get her into the college of her choice , pay the tuition , pay the tuition for all of their other children , and he would take care of their family , whatever they needed , as long as no one found out that you were to blame for what happened to their daughter . nick : [ sighs ] i had no idea . so you 've known this for years ? sharon : yes . nick : why did n't you say anything ? because if i did , everything victor promised to sandy and her family would disappear . that and if she wanted to make a deal with the devil , it 's not my place to come forward . nick : and that 's why you kept quiet . sharon : you and i got back together , we got married , we had noah . cassie came back into our lives , then faith . there was no reason for me to bring this up . until now . nick : so , what ? you gon na blackmail me ? nick : why would anyone believe you ? you do n't have any proof . sharon : i 'm sure i could find an old classmate who would be willing to come forward and admit that you got sandra drunk . and who knows ? after all these years , maybe sandra wants the truth to come out . nick : why should i believe what you 're saying is true ? sharon : you say your memory 's hazy , but i believe , deep down , you have always wondered what really happened that night . now if you carry out this threat and you refuse to let me see faith , i will make sure the truth comes out . now , the statute of limitation may have run out , but my lawyer is sure a civil suit could still be brought against you . and david 's certain if that happened , the judge would reverse his decision to give you full custody of faith . nick : wow . you really thought this through . sharon : david wanted me to bring this up at the custody hearing , and i -- i told him i was sure that you would back down . by the time i realized you were n't going to , it was too late . the judge had awarded you full custody . but then , you agreed to let me have all that time with her . i figured everything would work out . until now . nick : so , if i do n't let you see faith , then you 're gon na tell the whole story ? sharon : it 's your choice . [ knock on door ] dylan : hey , i came back to ... uh , sorry . did n't mean to interrupt . sharon : uh , no , it 's okay . nick and i are just finished here . dylan : are you sure ? sharon : yes . we 've come to an agreement about faith . nick 's agreed to let me have more time with her . dylan : really ? sharon : yeah , he realizes he 's been completely unreasonable about this whole thing . i 'm hoping even one day he 'll give me joint custody . nick : i got to go . [ door closes ] dylan : what was that all about ? sharon : i did what you told me . i was completely honest with nick . dylan : you told him about the interview you gave austin . sharon : how did you know it was austin ? dylan : i spoke to abby . sharon : well , i did n't tell nick that i had disclosed damaging information about him , but i did tell him i had it . dylan : and his response was to give you more time with faith ? sharon : yes . dylan : you did n't just tell him what you know . did you threaten to use it against him ? abby : what if dylan goes to the police ? stitch : okay . he 'll talk to sharon first . abby : oh , like she 'll tell him the truth . stitch : okay , we had no proof that sharon was involved in austin 's death . abby : maybe not , but my intuition is telling me that she 's hiding something . stitch : is that the same intuition that told you i murdered austin ? abby : okay , yes . my vibes were a little off on that one . you 're not a murderer . you 're just a cheater . stitch : okay . we got to go there ? is that what we 're doing now ? abby : you tell me that you slept with my mom and just expect me to forget about it ? [ knock on door ] abby : oh . hi ! speaking of the other woman ... ashley : i beg your pardon ? abby : ben told me . ashley : ben told you what ? stitch : that we , uh ... you know , we got together . ashley : why would you do that ? i thought we had an agreement . stitch : okay . it slipped out in the heat of the moment . ashley : what heat of the moment ? stitch : well , this is -- oh . it 's not what you 're thinking . ashley : honestly , i do n't know what i 'm thinking . so did you tell her that ... it meant nothing ? i mean , i hope you told her it meant nothing . stitch : yeah , i did . ashley : i guess we do n't have to bring it up again , do we ? stitch : hey , look , i have to go take care of something . you gon na be here for a while ? ashley : yes . i need to speak with abby about international marketing strategy for hex . stitch : great . okay . um , see you guys later . abby : so , you and stitch , huh ? ashley : it was one night , abby . he was drunk , he was very upset . he just found out that katie was n't his daughter and that billy was , and we thought that billy and victoria were gon na be together , okay ? abby : so you decided to cheer him up ? ashley : we both thought that he was finished with victoria . that 's all you need to know . abby : but something did happen . ashley : and it meant nothing to either one of us . abby : yeah , i believe that it did n't mean anything to stitch . but there 's no way that you 're gon na convince me that it did n't mean anything to you . avery : aww . how romantic , the two of you eloping . but i am sorry i 'll miss the wedding . phyllis : well , you know what ? you 're gon na have plenty to keep you busy planning your own wedding and this new job you 're taking on . avery : it 's not a big deal , phyllis . phyllis : well , i just hope you do n't spend too many nights staying up late , working . avery : this charity is really joe 's project . i 'm merely working in an advisory capacity . jack : little pro bono work , huh ? avery : yes , the better days foundation , which used to be run by your friend , gabriel bingham . jack : oh ? avery : how well do you know him , jack ? jack : well , we did some business in the past . he 's actually at jabot now . why do you ask ? avery : well , i got a very weird vibe when i met him about transferring the foundation over to joe . jack : gabriel can be a little intense . avery : well , he seemed ... distracted , actually , like he had never heard of the charity his family founded . jack : well , the bingham family was involved in a lot of charitable endeavors . i 'm sure it 's hard to keep track . abby : yeah . well , you think that he would have actually read the forms i had for him to sign . he barely looked at them . and his signature is off . jack : well , she should see my signature when i 'm in a hurry . phyllis : [ chuckles ] avery : yeah . nick said that he 's changed a lot , too . phyllis : well , you got what you wanted from him , right ? i mean , he signed the papers ? avery : yeah . i just ca n't help but wonder what he wants . adam : ca n't sleep , huh ? what do you think about a story , huh ? want me to tell you a story ? you like stories ? have a really good one for you . um ... okay . once upon a time , there was a , uh -- a king . very handsome king . and he had ... everything you could possibly imagine . he had riches , he had ... a loving bride , beautiful , handsome , brave son ... a future as bright as the north star . and then he made a mistake . he , um ... made a terrible mistake . and even though it was an accident , he was afraid that nobody would -- would believe that , so he was forced to leave . thank you . forced to leave , and , uh ... have everybody think he was dead . and while he was gone , guess what -- he could n't think of anything except his son and his wife and how much he wanted to be with them . so he made his way back home . and he was bound and determined to do whatever he could ... to get his family back together . now , i got to tell you , that story is not over yet . i promise you , it has a happy ending . okay ? jack : you 're playing a dangerous game , adam . adam : jack , how many times do i have to tell you -- it 's gabriel . jack : you better work a little bit harder if you want to keep this charade of yours going . adam : yeah ? what makes you say that ? jack : i just talked to avery . she told me you did n't know a thing about a charity the bingham family founded ? adam : okay . well , can you tell me the name of every cause the abbott family has ever donated to ? jack : i can certainly duplicate my own signature , and my old school friends recognize me . adam : okay . i see . big brother 's stirring up trouble again . jack : everyone is getting suspicious of gabriel . adam : okay . all right . thank you . just calm down . i 'll take care of it , all right ? be more cautious , you know ? not about to blow it now , jack , not after i 'm so close to having everything . chelsea : i had no idea you felt the same way about putting off the wedding . i 'm glad i listened to gabriel . billy : what -- what 's gabriel got to do with this ? chelsea : well , we were -- when we were stranded in the car , we got to talking , and ... gabe helped me to realize that i have a lot of unresolved feelings about adam , and i need to take some time to get over him . billy : did he ? chelsea : well , i 'm -- i guess i 'm glad that you feel the same way about slowing things down . what changed your mind ? billy : well ... jack got me to see that i 'm rushing in to marriage because i 'm afraid of losing you . chelsea : i 'm not going anywhere . i love you . nothing will change that . billy : not for me , either . sharon : i wo n't lose my daughter , dylan . i thought you understood that . dylan : sharon , i do . i mean , you were just so upset -- sharon : because somebody broke in to my house and left a threatening message ! dylan : i know . that 's -- that 's what you said . sharon : well , you told me you believed me when i said i did n't write it . dylan : i do . sharon : then why all these questions ? what 's changed ? ashley : what happened between ben and me did n't mean anything to either one of us . abby : do you know how many times i have seen you get your heart broken ? i do n't want to see you get hurt again . ashley : are you sure that 's all there is to this , abby ? abby : yeah . what else would there be ? ashley : i do n't know . maybe are you upset that ben and i slept together because maybe you 're developing feelings for him ? abby : that 's crazy . ashley : is it ? i ca n't help but notice how close the two of you are becoming . abby : he 's my sister 's boyfriend . ashley : and austin was your niece 's husband . abby : i can not believe you would say that to me . ashley : i ca n't believe i would say that to you , either . i just do n't want you to get yourself into a bad situation , okay ? abby : with ben ? ashley : with anybody ! [ knock on door ] victoria : hi . i heard yelling . is everything okay ? jack : phyllis ? phyllis : in here . jack : when you asked me to come back to the office ... i thought it was to take care of business . phyllis : oh , it is . jack : you know , we have very strict rules about romance in this office . phyllis : when have i ever played by the rules , mr. abbott ? jack : anyone could walk in right now . phyllis : well , then you better hurry up and kiss me . jack : um , should we at least lock the door ? phyllis : no , i think it 's much more exciting like this . jack : you just love living on the edge , do n't you ? phyllis : as long as it 's with you . nick : i need to make a change to my custody agreement with sharon . avery : change it how ? nick : i want to give sharon one day a week with faith . avery : why would you do that ? nick : because it 's the right thing to do . avery : okay . well , there 's no need to put it in writing . once you do that , it 's nearly impossible to go back . nick : there 's no going back . avery : nick ... nick : just do it , all right ? [ door opens , closes ] dylan : nothing 's changed . i do believe that you did n't write that message , especially now that i know you 're not the only one who got one . sharon : what ? who else ? dylan : abby and summer . sharon : oh , my god . dylan , what is going on ? dylan : i 'm not sure . i 'm a little concerned about your safety . i do n't think you should be here by yourself -- at least not tonight . sharon : okay . but i mean , i have ranch security . dylan : i know . but if somebody wanted to get around the guards , they could . but they 're not gon na get past me . sharon : are you saying ... ? dylan : uh , i 'm here . might as well stay . chelsea : it 's too late for -- hey . what -- what are you doing with connor ? adam : oh . he , uh -- you know what ? he woke up right after i sent amanda home . perfect timing . chelsea : and you 've been taking care of him ? adam : yeah , it 's no problem . he 's great . chelsea : thank you . adam : yeah , of course . chelsea : uh , i 'm gon na put him back to bed . adam : all right . night , buddy . what a great kid , huh ? billy : yeah . yeah . [ connor crying ] adam : so i -- i , um ... figured it 'd give you and chelsea a little time to talk , you know , alone . billy : oh , you mean about postponing the wedding ? adam : well , i know she was feeling a little bit rushed into it . billy : mm - hmm . yeah , we both decided to put off getting married . but just to be clear , it did n't have anything to do with the little conversation you guys had when you , uh , conveniently ran out of gas . adam : conveniently ? oh , you act as if i orchestrated that whole thing . billy : did you ? adam : well , billy , i 'll tell you what -- i do n't need to manipulate chelsea 's love for adam . it 's pretty obvious she loved the guy -- still does , as far as i can see . billy : well , it 's easy to love a bastard when they 're not around . you know , i think over some time , she would 've seen him for the piece of dirt that he was . adam : piece of dirt ? wow . you ... really hate that guy , huh ? billy : you have no idea . adam : uh - huh . it 's difficult , because as much as you despise the guy , she actually loved him . billy : well , that 's not anything that you have to worry about now , is it ? we 'll be just fine . you know , it 's like they say -- `` love conquers all . `` adam : i 've heard that before . billy : yeah . adam : good night . ashley : hi , victoria . actually , abby and i were just having a slightly heated discussion about the ... hex marketing strategy . victoria : mm - hmm . well , i 'm just looking for ben . abby : uh , he 's not here . he had something to take care of . victoria : any idea what it was ? abby : no . but it sounded important . victor : we have come to the most critical phase of our plan . no one is to find out about our connection . got it ? i do n't have to tell you how dangerous it would be if they found out that we know each other . [ next_on ] nick : you bribed the entire allen family , and part of that deal was no contact with me , right , dad ? courtney : [ gasping ] noah : is that a yes ? courtney : yes ! yes ! dylan : what the hell were you thinking ? !

<s>[INST] victoria : what ? victor : i was just thinking . victoria : about ? victor : well , i was wondering if you ... were happy -- i mean , truly happy . victoria : yeah , i 'm truly happy . victor : uh - huh . victoria : i have three beautiful children , and they 're healthy . i 'm working with you again . victor : mm - hmm . and billy boy abbott is ... engaged to chelsea . victoria : well , yeah . he 's moving on . so am i , with a wonderful man , who you approve of . victor : yes , i do . stitch is a far better choice for you than that loser abbott . victoria : dad , i doubt that we came here to discuss my personal life . so why do n't we just cut the small talk , and why do n't you tell me what this is really about ? dylan : why the hell have n't you gone to the police with this ? abby : i 'll tell you why . because if we go to the police , i end up dead . dylan : what are you talking about ? abby : i do n't know . i guess i 'm just a big drama queen . dylan : no , you guys are hiding something . what is it ? stitch : mac , i told you everything . abby was -- dylan : you have n't told me anything ! and i 'm not leaving until i get some answers . now , are you saying the person who 's sending these messages would kill you if you went to the cops ? abby : yes . dylan : that 's what noah said about sharon , that she 's in danger . abby : unless she 's the one sending the messages . sharon : if you keep faith from me , i am done keeping your secret . i will tell everyone how you broke that poor girl 's neck . nick : what are you talking about ? sharon : sandra allen . i know what happened to her all those years ago , right here on this ranch . you took her dreams away . you nearly took away her life . [ knock on door ] phyllis : am i interrupting ? avery : no . um , sorry . come on in . what can i do for you ? phyllis : oh , well ... just maybe lend an ear , maybe a shoulder . avery : what 's going on ? phyllis : kelly andrews is dead . avery : what ? oh , my god . wait . phyllis ... you did n't ... phyllis : no . i did n't do anything to her . avery : [ breathes deeply ] phyllis : although there were times that i wanted to , yes . avery : well , what happened ? phyllis : drug overdose , intentional . avery : oh , my god . that 's terrible . phyllis : you 'll have to forgive me if i ca n't muster much sympathy for her . avery : i would n't expect you to . phyllis : that woman made my life hell , and i will never understand why people could n't see her for who she was . avery : what ? a person who suffered unbearable tragedy and loss in her life ? phyllis : spoken like the true bleeding heart you 've always been . i do n't know why i expected anything different . people do n't change . avery : i do n't know about that . i think people can change a great deal . chelsea : what are you doing ? adam : yeah , this -- it fell out of your purse . it 's , um ... it 's beautiful . chelsea : thanks . it 's from -- adam : it 's from adam , is n't it ? chelsea : i took a few things from the apartment i wanted to keep safe . adam : that was one of them ? chelsea : oh , i 'm saving it for connor , 'cause he might want to give it to his wife one day . adam : sure . i 'm sorry about earlier . and -- and i 'm doing it again . i was doing it in the car , and i 'm doing it again . i 'm insinuating that you 're not over adam , and i 'm not trying to make you feel uncomfortable . chelsea : it 's not because you said it . it 's because you 're right . billy : i thought i might find you here . jack : used to feel like i was on top of the world when i looked out that window . billy : [ chuckles ] well , that 's the problem with being at the top -- there 's only one place left to go . jack : yeah . billy : listen , um , victoria told me about kelly , and ... i 'm sorry , jack . phyllis does not understand why i feel responsible . billy : i think i feel just as responsible , maybe even more so . jack : no , you did n't break her heart . billy : but i should 've known how fragile she was . i mean , i know what losing a child can do to somebody . jack : kelly deserved so much more . billy : hopefully she 's at peace now . jack : does n't sound like you are . is this about kelly , or is there something else ? billy : i 've been thinking about ... what you said about ... marrying chelsea for all the wrong reasons . jack : oh , no , no , no . i -- i should n't have said all that . i -- i 'm sorry . billy : jack , i did n't get angry at you for what you said . i blew up because you 're right . victor : ca n't a father simply enjoy having dinner with his daughter ? victoria : other fathers , maybe . victor : aha . victoria : mm - hmm . victor : in other words , you 're doubting the sincerity of my paternal feelings . victoria : no , i just know that you 're not above using them to your advantage . victor : so , what do you think the real reason is for inviting you out tonight ? victoria : a little wine , a little ambiance , simple light conversation . maybe you were hoping to convince me to back your takeover of jabot . victor : is it working ? victoria : no . victor : i was hoping that you 'd be on board . victoria : how do you know that this will even happen , dad ? ashley : hello , you two . victor : well , my goodness . ashley . ashley : hi ! i 'm so happy to run into you . so i can give you each one of these before we run out . after the mention we got on `` the talk , `` hex is flying off the shelves . looks like we got ourselves a winner . victor : i 'll be damned . victoria : one round of success does n't guarantee that it 's gon na be a success . ashley : that 's true . that 's very true . except for the fact that i think if your father did n't smell huge profits , he would n't have made an offer to buy jabot . victor : mm . victoria : you made an official offer ? ashley : you know what 's even more strange ? he actually thinks that jack 's gon na consider it . billy : asking chelsea to marry me was , um ... jack : impulsive ? reckless ? ill - advised ? billy : i 'm not saying i do n't love her . i do , very much . my timing may have been motivated by ... other things . jack : such as ... ? billy : i guess i wanted to see how deep her feelings were for me . jack : then , you were putting her through a test . billy : no , not consciously . i guess i was just worried about investing in a future that may not happen , you know ? jack : oh , billy , there are no guarantees when it comes to the future . billy : i know . i do . i just , um ... okay . all right . here come those ... three words you love so much -- you were right . i let gabe get to me . i let him feel like a threat to my relationship with chelsea , and i just feel so pathetic . i know how that sounds . it 's -- jack : no , it sounds perfectly human , but fear of losing someone is no reason to jump into a marriage . billy : you 're gon na make me say it again , are n't you ? jack : yeah , i do n't hear it that often . billy : you 're right . marrying chelsea because i 'm worried about gabe -- i mean , that 's just stupid . and you know what ? it does n't matter if the guy 's hot for her . it 's not like she 'd ever be interested in him anyway . right ? adam : you 're saying you 're not sure about your feelings for billy ? chelsea : no . i love billy . i 'm just , uh ... i 'm just wondering if maybe i -- i rushed to get married because -- adam : 'cause of adam . chelsea : well , i -- i tried to convince myself that marrying billy would give me some kind of closure with adam . adam : and now ? now you 're not so sure , are you ? chelsea : i thought that accepting billy 's wedding proposal would ... help adam 's memory to fade in my mind , but , really , it 's done the opposite . i feel like -- i feel like i think about him now more than ever . that should n't be . adam : okay . sit down . chelsea , it 's not wrong that you still love your husband . chelsea : adam is dead . i should be able to move on , and i ca n't . it 's not fair . it 's not fair to billy , to marry him , if i still have all of these unresolved feelings for adam . adam : what 're you gon na do ? nick : i do n't know what you 're talking about . sharon : well , i know how that can be , not being able to remember . let me help you . we were in high school . we were n't together , but we had been . i wanted to take things slow , but your hormones were in a hurry . nick : yeah , i hooked up with amy . sharon : amy was n't the only one you hooked up with . there were lots of girls who wanted to be in nick newman 's little black book , including sandra . you do remember her . nick : yeah , i remember . sharon : well , you should . she was the only junior you invited to that big party you had on the ranch senior year . well , what a party that was -- loud music , skinny - dipping , no adults , lots of booze . and everyone was having a great time . the party was hopping until someone broke an expensive knickknack . nick : it was an antique vase . my parents picked it up on a trip to europe . sharon : and you got so angry , you sent everyone home ... except sandra . the two of you kept drinking . you even brought out that expensive bottle of vodka victor brought home from russia . and it did n't seem to bother you that she was a minor . well , i guess you were enjoying her company a little too much . neither one of you wanted the night to end . but it did , abruptly ... when something happened to sandra that changed her life forever . nick : there 's no way you know what happened that night . sharon : unless i was there . nick : you 're lying . sharon : i never left . i went to the bathroom to wash my face and pull myself together . i was gon na tell you i wanted to get back together with you , but when i went back out to the pool , you were n't alone . you were with sandy . which was fitting . she was a swimmer . a diver , actually . nick : is there a point to this story ? sharon : she was good . not just high - school good . sandy was getting ready to compete in the olympic trials . nick : yeah , i guess she was -- she was gon na make the team . sharon : platform diving . that was her specialty . you were teasing her about how high a platform she could dive from . `` i 'll give you $ 100 if you can dive off the balcony into the pool , `` you said . nick : no . no , that is not the way it happened . she -- she asked me how much i 'd give her if she dove off the balcony . sharon : well , your memory 's a little fuzzy , right ? alcohol will do that . nick : we were both pretty drunk . sharon : that must be the reason why she took you up on your crazy offer -- that and the fact that she wanted to impress you , which she did , with a perfect dive off the balcony into the pool . but then ... nick : she did n't come up . sharon : no . nick : i thought she was just messing around . you know , like she wanted me to jump in and try and rescue her . sharon : it was a few minutes before you realized she was in trouble . nick : when i got her out , she was unconscious . sharon : you used cpr to revive her , and you were very happy she started breathing again . and then sandy said she could n't move . and the look on your face ... nick : okay . just stop . sharon : before the ambulance got here , victor showed up . the security guards had called him . nikki was n't home , and they were concerned the party was getting out of control . nick : i was just a stupid kid . sharon : and you were about to pay a very big price for your stupidity . but that 's not how the story ended . dylan : why would sharon send herself and you threatening messages ? abby : you 're right . it does n't make any sense . i should n't have accused her . dylan : but you did . why ? abby : i 've already said too much . dylan : those were noah 's exact words when he let it slip that you got a message , too . what are you guys afraid of ? stitch : no offense , man , but this is none of your business . dylan : something or someone has scared a lot of people , including sharon . stitch : and that 's why you need to let this go . dylan : okay . if you do n't tell me how abby 's attack is connected to these threats , i 'm gon na call somebody who will . abby : who are you gon na call ? dylan : i 'm gon na call paul . abby : no , you can not talk to paul . stitch : she 's right . abby : no , you ca n't talk to anybody . if anybody finds out -- dylan : finds out what ? ! abby : that austin was murdered ! phyllis : there is another reason i came by today . jack and i have chosen a date . avery : you have . that 's great . phyllis : yes , but we 're going away . we 're gon na do it privately , just the two of us . so , there 's no need for a maid of honor . avery : wait . you were gon na ask me to be your maid of honor ? phyllis : you 're my sister . avery : well , i thought that was more of an annoyance than something that had significant meaning to you . phyllis : well , you know what they say about a year in a coma . it stirs up all kinds of feelings . avery : hmm . like the bond between sisters ? phyllis : oh , the bond that can never be broken . unless one of them tries to commit the other into an insane asylum . avery : so you are still mad at me . phyllis : yeah . you know , all is forgiven . avery : good . it seems to be my year for that . phyllis : why ? who else has absolved you of your past sins ? avery : joe and i have come to an understanding about how our marriage ended . phyllis : you mean that infidelity thing ? avery : yes , thank you for putting it so delicately . phyllis : well , that 's good . that 's good you could wrap things up before he gets back to chicago . avery : uh , yeah , he 's not going back . phyllis : why not ? avery : because he took a job here in genoa city , running a foundation for victims of domestic abuse . phyllis : okay . well , let me guess -- he wants a lawyer to work with him . avery : it 's a good cause , phyllis . phyllis : yeah , but is it a good idea to be working with your ex ? avery : why is everyone making such a big deal out of this ? nick gave me a hard time , too . you guys are exes . you get along great . phyllis : you know , i 'm not saying it 's impossible . i 'm just saying it 's a lot harder when one of them is still in love with the other . adam : have you decided what you 're gon na do about billy ? chelsea : there 's only one thing i can do -- tell him how i feel . adam : it 's not gon na be easy , but , uh ... i think it 's the right thing to do . chelsea : i just worry that ... he might not want to wait for me to get over my feelings for adam . adam : chelsea , i think if someone really loved you -- really loved you -- they would wait for you forever . chelsea : i just worry that billy will think that adam will never be out of my heart , that i 'll never be able to fully commit to him . adam : hmm . and he could walk away ? chelsea : i 've thought of that . adam : okay . and if he does ? what 'll you do ? chelsea : i do n't know . jack : i get the feeling that your delaying your marriage to chelsea is about more than what you 're saying . billy : and i get the feeling you 're going to tell me what that is . jack : well , i just think it 's interesting that victoria was the one to tell you about kelly 's death . that had to bring up some painful memories . billy : like how i screwed up my marriage ? jack : hey , you and kelly were both trying to heal from unbearable loss . billy : yeah , yeah . i should 've turned to victoria , jack . she was my anchor . now i guess i 'm hoping that ... getting married to chelsea is going to get me grounded again . jack : i do n't think it 's fair to ask anyone to do that for you . have you talked to chelsea about this ? chelsea : talked to chelsea about what ? jack : hey , chels . hey , listen , i got to get out of here . billy : yeah , yeah . jack : talk to you later . chelsea : hi . um , actually , there 's , uh ... there 's something i want to tell you , too . billy : you go first . chelsea : actually , you go . you go . both : i think we should put off the wedding . ashley : it 's so nice of you to order this champagne . victor : mm - hmm . ashley : unfortunately , i have to cut our celebration short . i have a meeting with jabot 's international distributor . hex is going global . victor : global . i 'll be damned . well , congratulations . ashley : thank you so much . do n't mean to gloat . victor : [ chuckles ] ashley : okay . i kind of do . i do . well , see you guys later . bye . victor : have a nice day . ashley : thanks again . victor : thank you for bringing these by . they 're just ... hex -- i 'll be damned . victoria : you took that very well . victor : i 'm very happy for ashley . victoria : really ? it did n't bother you when she threw jabot 's success in your face ? victor : no , because ... before long , she 'll be working for me . dylan : you think austin was killed because of the documentary he was making on the newmans and abbotts ? stitch : someone wanted to put a stop to it . dylan : and all those threatening messages -- yours , sharon 's ... ? abby : there was one at the cabin , too , and summer found it . dylan : this dude is serious . abby : that 's why you ca n't go to the police . dylan : okay . so , you -- you and summer found austin 's body . right ? it makes sense whoever 's behind it would want to send you messages to back you off , but why would sharon be threatened ? stitch : someone must think she knows something about austin 's murderer , or , you know , she knows something that 's on his computer . i do n't know . abby : she knows because she talked to him on camera . austin 's the one she gave an interview to . abby : yeah , and maybe she had some second thoughts about what she told him . it 's not that big of a leap to think that she knocked off austin to stop him from releasing the interview . and now she 's trying to keep all of us from going to the police . dylan : what about the threat to sharon ? abby : i do n't know . maybe she sent them to herself , to throw us all off . dylan : come on . the person that we 're dealing with is obviously a dangerous killer . that 's not sharon . abby : says you . stitch : okay . whoever it is has us doing exactly what they want . dylan : it 's time to fight back . stitch : what do you have in mind ? dylan : what 's the first rule in war ? stitch : identify the enemy . nick : i know how the story ended . sandra pulled through . sharon : after dozens of surgeries and years of therapy , she walked again . but she never dove again . she missed her chance at the olympic trials , her shot at getting a scholarship at a college . everything she worked for , everything she dreamed off , was gone . nick : i tried ... for years to get ahold of her . she would n't return any of my phone calls or answer any of my letters . i never understood that , because dad said she accepted full responsibility for the accident . sharon : yeah . she claimed she was already drunk before she got to the ranch . but diving off the balcony was her idea . she said the whole thing was her fault . nick : it 's still so hazy . sharon : well , let me fill in the blanks for you . i was hiding behind the pool house when the paramedics arrived , and i overheard them tell victor it did n't look good for sandy , and they rushed her to the hospital . and victor made a phone call . nick : to who ? sharon : i do n't know , but he told the person on the other end that you had made a big mess , and he needed them to clean it up . he told them what happened to sandy , that you had given her alcohol , and that she was a minor . he said to tell her family that he would cover all of her medical expenses , he would get her into the college of her choice , pay the tuition , pay the tuition for all of their other children , and he would take care of their family , whatever they needed , as long as no one found out that you were to blame for what happened to their daughter . nick : [ sighs ] i had no idea . so you 've known this for years ? sharon : yes . nick : why did n't you say anything ? because if i did , everything victor promised to sandy and her family would disappear . that and if she wanted to make a deal with the devil , it 's not my place to come forward . nick : and that 's why you kept quiet . sharon : you and i got back together , we got married , we had noah . cassie came back into our lives , then faith . there was no reason for me to bring this up . until now . nick : so , what ? you gon na blackmail me ? nick : why would anyone believe you ? you do n't have any proof . sharon : i 'm sure i could find an old classmate who would be willing to come forward and admit that you got sandra drunk . and who knows ? after all these years , maybe sandra wants the truth to come out . nick : why should i believe what you 're saying is true ? sharon : you say your memory 's hazy , but i believe , deep down , you have always wondered what really happened that night . now if you carry out this threat and you refuse to let me see faith , i will make sure the truth comes out . now , the statute of limitation may have run out , but my lawyer is sure a civil suit could still be brought against you . and david 's certain if that happened , the judge would reverse his decision to give you full custody of faith . nick : wow . you really thought this through . sharon : david wanted me to bring this up at the custody hearing , and i -- i told him i was sure that you would back down . by the time i realized you were n't going to , it was too late . the judge had awarded you full custody . but then , you agreed to let me have all that time with her . i figured everything would work out . until now . nick : so , if i do n't let you see faith , then you 're gon na tell the whole story ? sharon : it 's your choice . [ knock on door ] dylan : hey , i came back to ... uh , sorry . did n't mean to interrupt . sharon : uh , no , it 's okay . nick and i are just finished here . dylan : are you sure ? sharon : yes . we 've come to an agreement about faith . nick 's agreed to let me have more time with her . dylan : really ? sharon : yeah , he realizes he 's been completely unreasonable about this whole thing . i 'm hoping even one day he 'll give me joint custody . nick : i got to go . [ door closes ] dylan : what was that all about ? sharon : i did what you told me . i was completely honest with nick . dylan : you told him about the interview you gave austin . sharon : how did you know it was austin ? dylan : i spoke to abby . sharon : well , i did n't tell nick that i had disclosed damaging information about him , but i did tell him i had it . dylan : and his response was to give you more time with faith ? sharon : yes . dylan : you did n't just tell him what you know . did you threaten to use it against him ? abby : what if dylan goes to the police ? stitch : okay . he 'll talk to sharon first . abby : oh , like she 'll tell him the truth . stitch : okay , we had no proof that sharon was involved in austin 's death . abby : maybe not , but my intuition is telling me that she 's hiding something . stitch : is that the same intuition that told you i murdered austin ? abby : okay , yes . my vibes were a little off on that one . you 're not a murderer . you 're just a cheater . stitch : okay . we got to go there ? is that what we 're doing now ? abby : you tell me that you slept with my mom and just expect me to forget about it ? [ knock on door ] abby : oh . hi ! speaking of the other woman ... ashley : i beg your pardon ? abby : ben told me . ashley : ben told you what ? stitch : that we , uh ... you know , we got together . ashley : why would you do that ? i thought we had an agreement . stitch : okay . it slipped out in the heat of the moment . ashley : what heat of the moment ? stitch : well , this is -- oh . it 's not what you 're thinking . ashley : honestly , i do n't know what i 'm thinking . so did you tell her that ... it meant nothing ? i mean , i hope you told her it meant nothing . stitch : yeah , i did . ashley : i guess we do n't have to bring it up again , do we ? stitch : hey , look , i have to go take care of something . you gon na be here for a while ? ashley : yes . i need to speak with abby about international marketing strategy for hex . stitch : great . okay . um , see you guys later . abby : so , you and stitch , huh ? ashley : it was one night , abby . he was drunk , he was very upset . he just found out that katie was n't his daughter and that billy was , and we thought that billy and victoria were gon na be together , okay ? abby : so you decided to cheer him up ? ashley : we both thought that he was finished with victoria . that 's all you need to know . abby : but something did happen . ashley : and it meant nothing to either one of us . abby : yeah , i believe that it did n't mean anything to stitch . but there 's no way that you 're gon na convince me that it did n't mean anything to you . avery : aww . how romantic , the two of you eloping . but i am sorry i 'll miss the wedding . phyllis : well , you know what ? you 're gon na have plenty to keep you busy planning your own wedding and this new job you 're taking on . avery : it 's not a big deal , phyllis . phyllis : well , i just hope you do n't spend too many nights staying up late , working . avery : this charity is really joe 's project . i 'm merely working in an advisory capacity . jack : little pro bono work , huh ? avery : yes , the better days foundation , which used to be run by your friend , gabriel bingham . jack : oh ? avery : how well do you know him , jack ? jack : well , we did some business in the past . he 's actually at jabot now . why do you ask ? avery : well , i got a very weird vibe when i met him about transferring the foundation over to joe . jack : gabriel can be a little intense . avery : well , he seemed ... distracted , actually , like he had never heard of the charity his family founded . jack : well , the bingham family was involved in a lot of charitable endeavors . i 'm sure it 's hard to keep track . abby : yeah . well , you think that he would have actually read the forms i had for him to sign . he barely looked at them . and his signature is off . jack : well , she should see my signature when i 'm in a hurry . phyllis : [ chuckles ] avery : yeah . nick said that he 's changed a lot , too . phyllis : well , you got what you wanted from him , right ? i mean , he signed the papers ? avery : yeah . i just ca n't help but wonder what he wants . adam : ca n't sleep , huh ? what do you think about a story , huh ? want me to tell you a story ? you like stories ? have a really good one for you . um ... okay . once upon a time , there was a , uh -- a king . very handsome king . and he had ... everything you could possibly imagine . he had riches , he had ... a loving bride , beautiful , handsome , brave son ... a future as bright as the north star . and then he made a mistake . he , um ... made a terrible mistake . and even though it was an accident , he was afraid that nobody would -- would believe that , so he was forced to leave . thank you . forced to leave , and , uh ... have everybody think he was dead . and while he was gone , guess what -- he could n't think of anything except his son and his wife and how much he wanted to be with them . so he made his way back home . and he was bound and determined to do whatever he could ... to get his family back together . now , i got to tell you , that story is not over yet . i promise you , it has a happy ending . okay ? jack : you 're playing a dangerous game , adam . adam : jack , how many times do i have to tell you -- it 's gabriel . jack : you better work a little bit harder if you want to keep this charade of yours going . adam : yeah ? what makes you say that ? jack : i just talked to avery . she told me you did n't know a thing about a charity the bingham family founded ? adam : okay . well , can you tell me the name of every cause the abbott family has ever donated to ? jack : i can certainly duplicate my own signature , and my old school friends recognize me . adam : okay . i see . big brother 's stirring up trouble again . jack : everyone is getting suspicious of gabriel . adam : okay . all right . thank you . just calm down . i 'll take care of it , all right ?

[ chuckles ] nikki : if anybody finds out about this ... jack : nikki , you 're in a hospital . there 's gon na be a medical report . nikki : no , it 's okay . i 'm gon na tell the nurse that my heel got caught in one of those grates and i just fell on the street . jack : yeah ? and what about the guy that was driving the car ? nikki : no , i 'm okay there , too . i told him that i was fine and that we did n't need to call the police , and he was very grateful for that . and i am fine ! jack : you 're not fine . you 've been drinking and lying and keeping secrets from your family . this is a pathology that you and i know a lot about , nik . nikki : can you blame me for slipping ? my husband is in prison ! he was attacked ! he almost died ! jack : and now you 're making excuses . nikki : all right , you know what ? i did n't call you over here so you could badger me . jack : why did you call me ? you did n't call me here 'cause you thought i 'd look the other way while you crawled back into a bottle . you called me because you knew i would get in your face , point blank , and tell you get honest , work the program , no more excuses , no more lies ! nikki : [ sighs ] i called you because i trust you and i have faith in our friendship and your support . you said that you would help me get sober , and so i am asking you for help ! jack : no ! you 're asking me to lie to cover your mistakes ! and i resent the hell out of that ! mariah : do n't get me wrong . i completely enjoyed natalie laying the guilt trip on snowflake . i mean , that was classic , saying that her parents would forgive her when this was all over but that you and i would be living in a van down by the river . natalie : i did n't say that . mariah : i 'm paraphrasing . kevin : did you really do that ? natalie : social engineering . i was trying to manipulate a variable . mariah : a variable named summer . i tried . natalie tried . now , guess whose turn it is ? kevin : why me ? mariah : 'cause you 're the only person who has n't insulted her highness lately . now , get in there , tiger . make mama proud . natalie : go ahead . kevin : okay , i 'm going . mariah : commence project snowflake . kevin : hey , summer . can i talk to you for a minute ? it 's important . luca : is this about the newman lawsuit against jabot ? kevin : uh , look , i hate to be that guy , but i really just wanted to talk to summer about this . summer : well , i would like luca to hear about this , too . i mean , it is about the lawsuit , right ? specifically my testimony ? kevin : it sucks . i know that . but this is n't the first time you and i have been in a rough situation together , where you do n't know who you can talk to or who you can trust . summer : exactly , kevin . and what did lying do for us then ? it let harding do more damage and cause more harm . kevin : i 'm talking about now . i know you 're scared about contradicting your mom 's testimony , and on the other hand , perjury is also scary . summer : okay , i am done talking about this ! if all you 're gon na do is order me to lie , then i 'm done talking ! kevin : no , no , no , no . i 'm here to offer you a way out . phyllis : jack will be here . he 's just busy . billy : i get it . you feel like jack is gon na have your back no matter what . i used to know the feeling . phyllis : come on . do n't pretend he has n't covered your backside more than once . billy : no , he has , no matter what . yep . in the past . but i 'm talking about the present . right now jack thinks pass key is the enemy , an obsession that ruined my relationship with victoria . phyllis : to be fair , it pretty much did . billy : no . the fact that victoria can forgive her father for everything and me nothing , that 's what killed us . and now jack is acting like you two are about to fall out to the deadly pass key curse , but that 's not true , right ? you two are solid as ever , right ? what if -- what if jack thinks that you two are doomed ? what if he thinks the only thing left to do is walk in there , raise his left hand , and swear -- [ door opens ] billy : michael , whose idea was it to hold this so late ? michael : well , there are benefits to holding depositions after business hours . you 're welcome . billy : yeah , well , we ca n't reach jack . phyllis : unless you 've heard from him . michael : i 'm sure he 'll be here . he 'd want his testimony to be on the record . oh , and , uh , now leslie is ready to depose you . billy : well , then i better get in there , huh ? phyllis : how does it feel ? michael : how does what feel ? phyllis : fulfilling your urge for revenge . michael : you tell me . [ door opens , closes ] leslie : do you swear to tell the truth , the whole truth , and -- billy : and nothing but the truth , so help me god . victor : um , i do n't need your advice , okay ? just get lost . ian : a clever man absorbs knowledge wherever he can find it . and here i am , ripe for the taking . if only you open up your mind to my information . victor : [ chuckles ] ooh . [ sighs ] in all the years i 've lived , i 've never known anyone quite so full of it as you . ian : [ chuckles ] victor : so , um , you said this was all an act . ian : well , no , to be more precise , i said that i had nothing to do with the attack on you . that being said , i am resourceful , victor . how can you not know that about me by now ? [ chuckles ] it 's almost as if you have n't been paying any attention . i - i 'd feel insulted if i had n't gotten rid of my ego decades ago . [ chuckles ] victor : so , you bribed a guard ? that 's what allows you to work around here ? is that it ? anyone can do that . ian : yeah , but how would you know who to approach and how much to offer ? one false move , you could end up in solitary . if you follow my lead , however ... victor : really ? where ? ian : well , wherever your mind can take you . victor : so , you have a plan to get out of here ? ian : oh , you 're paying attention now , huh ? victor : [ chuckles ] ian : yes . victor : [ breathes sharply ] ian : walls could never hold a wandering spirit . [ chuckles ] victor : you know , with all your bull , you 're not the brightest guy , are you ? you got out of here once . they reeled you back in . you ended up right here . ian : yeah , but see , i 've refined my technique since then . victor : oh . ian : yes . victor : wow . ian : all those events , uh , were merely dress rehearsals . victor : oh , i see . ian : i 'm ready for the big time . victor : ooh . mitch : ward ! what are you doing out of your cell ? ian : uh , warden pullman . natalie : we both know how this goes . rich people hire expensive lawyers , and they hang on to their freedom and their bank accounts . people like you and me , we go down . mariah : you 're right . it 's true . all of it . but not this time . i mean it . you busted your butt over this weird program that would n't exist without your weird brain . you deserve your dream no matter how geeky it is . so , if you walk away now , what are you gon na have ? nothing . kevin can do this , so let him . do n't make me be nice to you again . kevin : there is a way for all of this to come out okay , and you would even avoid going in for the deposition . summer : how ? run away ? kevin : jack offered to cut newman in on pass key profits , and i guarantee you there are gon na be plenty of profits to go around , but victoria said no . luca : there must be a reason for her to turn down the offer . kevin : yeah , the reason is billy . a bad breakup does n't encourage rational business decisions . luca : victoria 's making this personal . kevin : exactly . exes torture each other . we 've all been there , and i 'm not judging , but there are innocent people getting caught in the crossfire , people who have waited a lifetime for an opportunity like this . luca : peace is always worth the effort , especially when it can guarantee a share of the profits . if you avoid the battle , you protect hearts and profit margins . summer : okay , why would victoria listen to me ? kevin : because you 're you , summer . she knows you want to do the right thing . the family sees what happened with victor , and i guarantee you they are all wishing they stood by him the way you did . they all wish they trusted their instincts the way you trust yours . talk to victoria . get her to see this is n't only a smart business decision . it 's also a way to avoid future regret . billy : kevin was very low key at first . i did n't need to know about natalie , not -- not by name . um , he said he had access to a brilliant idea , life- changing , one of those things that come up once in your life , and if you blink , you blow it . so i wanted to be a part of it , for financial reasons , for security and independence from my family , for victoria and the kids , for my extended family , the abbotts , and for jabot . our company had been flattened by newman because of me , and i felt like i needed to redeem myself , so i came on board to finance the project . leslie : with what funds ? billy : [ sighs ] i was in the process of procuring the funds when i was the victim of an accidental hit - and - run . leslie : procuring the funds via illegal gambling ? billy : best laid plans . after the accident , i was left in a coma . everyone thought i was a dead man . and while my family and friends were saying goodbye to me , i was deciding whether or not to walk towards the light . in the meantime , victor was convincing kevin to come and work for him , and just like that , natalie was a newman employee . victoria : and you said that you did n't care . you said that , in the end , all that mattered to you was me and the kids and that the money and the prestige did n't matter . it would be a real second start . leslie : okay , victoria , this -- victoria : no ! look , the point is , the truth -- the whole truth -- when you were in a coma , you said you saw us grieving over you , wishing that you would come back . you heard your daughter 's first word . you said that all that mattered to you was coming back to your family and to me . that was all a lie , was n't it ? that was n't the truth . [ footsteps approach ] phyllis : summer , what are you doing here ? summer : i came to see victoria . i 'm gon na ask her to take jack 's offer to share the profits . phyllis : no , no , no , honey , she 's already said no . summer : well , not to me . i have to try . i mean , i do n't want you to have to lie , and a family should not be torn up because of a business deal . luca : yeah , summer 's right . phyllis : this does n't concern you , luca . luca : look , the deal should only be about money , but victoria 's making this personal . phyllis : which is why it 's not gon na be easy to change her mind -- or heart -- about this . luca : look , summer is stronger than most people give her credit for . phyllis : luca , my daughter has fought back from things that would flatten most people , so i know how strong she is . she 's my kid . and i also know that victoria 's very upset . she wants to punish billy badly . luca : summer helps people see things from a new perspective , at least she does for me . look , i believe you can convince victoria not to take her problems with billy out on the world . michael : tell me what you want here . if you want leslie and me to walk away , we can . but this is not what we came here for . victoria : fine . i 'm fine . leslie : now , mr. abbott , tell me about the circumstances surrounding natalie 's termination from newman and her subsequent hiring by jabot . billy : you 're gon na have to ask victor about that . that was his brilliant idea . leslie : and did you have any communications with natalie regarding her progress on pass key before she was -- billy : fired by victor ? who 's in jail , by the way . leslie : what 's your understanding of why she was let go ? billy : she hit a road block as far as i understand it , and he was n't patient enough to wait . leslie : and suddenly jabot thought it was a good idea to hire the same programmer that newman just fired . billy : because i believed in her . i did n't lose hope because it just was n't perfect at the time . i know that if anything is worth having , it 's worth taking a risk . victoria : so you chose a security program over your own family . billy : no , i hired a staffer with an idea who was available , and then you fired me from your life . leslie : back to the order -- victoria : no , he 's done . get him out of here . jack : you ca n't just hide and pretend this did n't happen . your family needs to know you slipped again ! step up . own it . and when you do , i swear i will be there for you in every way i possibly can . nikki : so i have to admit to them that i failed again ... and see their faces filled with pity and anger and blame . and they should blame me . i did this to myself , on top of what i did to victor . i 'm gon na add that burden to them ? how can i do that ? jack : i 'm not gon na lie for you , nik . nikki : just help me get sober now , and then i will tell them . i swear . they already know that i am struggling , okay ? so help me get back on track , and then -- and then i will tell them . you have my word . jack : the word of a drunk . nikki : oh , my god . jack : what is that worth ? nikki : you know , instead of calling you , i could have gone to the closest bar . was i wrong to call you ? jack : okay . okay . you can tell your family on your own time . on one condition . ian : warden , i was just telling , uh , mr. newman here that there was a glitch in the , uh , security system , and i was on my way to , uh , see a guard and report it . mitch : back to your cell , ward . now . now , mr. newman , i have some information for you . victor : after lights out ? mitch : it 's about the attempt on your life . mariah : so , i guess not calling her snowflake to her face helps . who knew ? natalie : we watched you . you really know how to talk to people . not everyone does . kevin : well , luca 's the one who actually convinced her . seriously , that sleazeball helped me out , which made me feel gross . mariah : yeah , and he 'll probably want some sort of brokerage fee on the deal . natalie : ugh . kevin : what ? what 's wrong ? natalie : pass key sales . kevin : what ? did they tank ? natalie : you do n't want to know . mariah : just tell us already since you have the magic ball that sees into jabot accounts . natalie : given our respective agreements with jabot , you each make 100k in royalties and i would get 500k . mariah : [ chuckling ] oh , my god ! kevin : whoa , whoa , wait , wait . but assets are frozen , so we may not actually see the money . mariah : why did you tell us this ? ! kevin : no , no , wait . strike that . you know what ? this is still gon na happen . mariah : no , it wo n't ! kevin : it will ! come on ! you just have to visualize it . come on . mariah : [ sighs ] kevin : uh , okay , this is me , uh , putting a down payment on a ferrari -- a real one , not like the toy one i got you . mariah : [ chuckles ] will that come before or after the foosball table ? kevin : oh , duh . right . foosball first , then ferrari . mariah : well , i would get a first - class ticket to an island , where i would buy my own bungalow on the beach , and then i would drink fruity drinks and read novels and never worry about a tan line ever again . if i could tan . kevin : [ chuckles ] mariah : oh , god . she 's daydreaming about hard drives and mainframes . you really know how to live it up , do n't you , geek girl ? natalie : yeah . i think i do . phyllis : i love you so much , but you ca n't just go in there and change victoria 's mind about jack 's deal . but i love that you want to try . summer : mom , i can not just try ! i have to ! there has to be a way to end this whole fight ! phyllis : victoria wants to hurt billy . she does not care about the fallout . she 's taken a page from her father 's book . there is only one way we can win this . summer : god , i mean , you 're even gon na bring that up now when people are in there giving their sworn testimony . phyllis : i need to know that you 're on my side . summer : mom , i am not like you . i can not -- i can not just lie . phyllis : we can all do things we do n't think is possible if we do them out of love . luca : summer has to do what she feels is right . phyllis : stop talking , luca . summer : mom , i just -- i would not feel right doing that . michael : summer . your deposition is n't scheduled for this evening . billy : this guy gets to give testimony ? he 's lying just standing there . michael : luca is not currently on the list , and that is none of your concern . summer : i need to go talk to victoria . phyllis : summer . michael : summer . phyllis : how 'd it go in there ? i did n't hear any screaming . billy : no , just silently dying inside . phyllis : billy , i 'm sorry . billy : no . it was nothing . it was a piece of cake . did n't let them get to me , not even victoria when she was reminding me of all the promises i made to her . phyllis : [ sighs ] jack : how you feeling ? nikki : [ sighs ] jack : did the meeting help ? nikki : yeah . they always help . until they do n't . but that was our deal . one meeting for your silence . jack : you seem tired . nikki : jack , i am absolutely exhausted . i need to rest , and i ca n't do it at home because bonnie or somebody on the staff will see me like this . oh . how many calls did you miss ? jack : enough . nikki : sorry . you know , you can go . i 'm just gon na sleep . oh , yes , of course . yes , yes . the mini bar . you just clear that right out . jack : you know , the first meeting i ever went to where family was included , the leader of the meeting asked for a show of hands . `` how many of you have ever hidden alcohol or pills from the resident addict to keep them from using ? `` nikki : and what ? 20 hands went up ? jack : eventually the whole room laughed . nikki : i tell you , jack , an alcoholic is gon na drink even if it 's cough syrup , so just leave the mini bar as it is . jack : nope . if you want to drink , you 're gon na drink . but i 'm not gon na make it easier for you . nikki : thanks . jack : i 'll have some tea sent up . and you get some rest , huh ? nikki : thank you for being my friend . phyllis : by the way , summer 's in there trying to convince victoria to take jack 's deal to share the pass key profits . billy : it 's brave , but it 's pointless . phyllis : she feels she has to do something . she 's not gon na lie . billy , she said she could n't live with herself . and even if she goes through with it , kevin , natalie , mariah , they could crack . billy : they wo n't . phyllis : you do n't know that . billy : yeah , i do . they want exactly what we want . they want pass key . phyllis : summer does n't . she just wants to be a good person . billy : well , then she 's not gon na risk hurting her mother . phyllis : so i ask her to choose between me and decency ? i am forcing my daughter to commit perjury . billy : this will work . we just have to stick to the plan . summer : aunt vicki , it does not have to be this way . i know that things with billy are tough , but it does n't mean you have to drag anyone else into this . victoria : i did n't drag anyone into anything . billy conspired to steal intellectual property from newman . summer : okay , so then just agree to share the profits . let the rest of this fight go . it is not good for anybody . it 's twisting people up in knots , and it 's making people do things that they do not want to do . victoria : do things like what ? luca : like barge into meetings to speak their piece . michael : oh , so what ? now you 're speaking for summer ? luca : look , i 'm just here to support her as a friend . look , i know my opinion is n't worth much to anyone , but summer 's should be . she just wants the families to end this war and work together , and all it takes is saying yes . it 's really that simple . [ door opens ] phyllis : sweetie , i 'm so sorry . victoria : are you ready ? phyllis : you have no idea . mitch : your attack was big news . it 's hard enough to run this place on the budget they give me . add negative press in there . but you and the other inmates are here to fulfill your debt to society , not get knifed in the dark . victor : [ breathes deeply ] [ sighs ] someone obviously attacked me . do you have any idea who it was ? mitch : it was a guard . he 's been removed and charged . victor : you say it was a guard ? so someone bribed him . was it ian ward ? natalie : first thing , i get the eye surgery so i have permanent 20/20 eyesight . no more glasses ever . and then i would chop my hair into a swingy bob and i would dye it bombshell blonde . then a little black dress . like , a closet full of little black dresses . like , nothing but little black dresses ever again . and then i would learn to salsa and tango and samba . and i would get a little , fast car that would kick your car 's ass . kevin : oh , really ? natalie : yeah . my car and i would smoke you so hard , you 'd be choking on our dust . kevin : [ chuckles ] summer : [ sighs ] luca : look , summer , what you did was brave . summer : no , it was useless , luca . i mean , now what ? i have to lie like everybody else ? luca : you do n't have to do anything you do n't want to do . summer : okay , so if i tell the truth , that i knew that billy was arranging everything with natalie , then i 'm ruining everything for those three . worse off , i 'm breaking my mom 's heart . luca : listen . summer : [ sighs ] luca : i have n't known you long , summer , but one thing i 'm sure of -- you will break your own heart if you go against your beliefs . summer : okay , so what do i do ? luca : walk into that office and tell the truth . there is no other way . phyllis : i told jack to give billy the money to invest in kevin 's project . jack resisted , so billy gambled to get that money , and we all know how that ended -- with him in a coma . leslie : we 've heard that billy pursued what eventually became pass key as a path to redemption . that was because of paragon , was n't it ? phyllis : you 'll have to ask him . leslie : but you 'd agree that the point of paragon was revenge , to punish victor for bringing marco annicelli to genoa city . pass key was an extension of that revenge . phyllis : pass key was a method of turning a profit to shore up jabot 's losses . leslie : losses from paragon ? phyllis : victor blackmailed jack to hand over $ 500 million because i was not ready to tell the world that i had been sleeping with a stranger . leslie : that still enrages you , does n't it ? i mean , i could n't forgive that . i 'd want to punish whoever put me in that position . phyllis : is this about you or me ? leslie : you . and billy . and your plans to punish newman enterprises . phyllis : victor fired natalie . jabot hired her . the fact that victor made an extremely bad business decision does not make us criminals . it just makes him an idiot . victoria : watch it , phyllis . phyllis : why should i , victoria ? why should i ? is n't that what this is about ? victor screwed up , and victoria 's daddy would never do that . she has to defend his honor . and since you helped get him convicted , now you want to prove that you are still daddy 's special princess ! that is the only reason why we are having this conversation ! so , is that it ? ! are we done here ? ! leslie : [ sighs ] we reserve the right to call you back in . phyllis : looking forward to it , leslie . leslie : i need some coffee . victoria : can you please give us a minute ? phyllis : that means you 've been dismissed , michael . victoria : i have one more question -- off the record . about you and billy . billy : why were n't you at the deposition ? you let phyllis clean up the garbage on her own . jack : phyllis was n't alone . she had you , her new buddy in all things revenge . billy : so you abandon your wife to prove that you 're morally superior to everybody else , jack ? pass key has the opportunity to save jabot . i just protected our father 's company from tanking . jack : protected us , meaning what ? you lied under oath ? billy : let me ask you , jack . what were you doing when you had adam fake the journal to have victor framed for murder ? was that you being righteous and upstanding ? the fact that you have the gall to lecture me right now says that you 're about to side with the enemy and abandon your family and your wife . jack : i 'm about to side with the truth and save you and phyllis from yourselves . and me , jack ? we do n't need your saving . jack : no , of course you do n't , because you do n't even see what 's happening to both of you . billy : oh , no , what 's happening to you , jack . victor beat you , and he did n't do it with marco and he did n't do it with jabot 's money . he did it when you became this pious milquetoast squealing about doing the right thing . you know what that says ? it says let victor have the last word , the last laugh , the last dime out of our pocket . and it 's not just that , jack . you love watching me lose , do n't you ? jack : [ sighs ] billy : it 's like the cherry on your sundae . that 's why you did n't give me the money for pass key in the first place . jack : no , i did n't give you the money 'cause you were drinking again and gambling ! and you did n't tell me what the $ 2 million was for ! billy : i should n't have to tell you , jack ! you 're supposed to trust me . that 's what family does , is n't it ? that 's how dad taught us . jack : you think dad would have given you the money ? dad would have been appalled by this deal ! dad would have killed this deal from the get - go ! billy : that 's what your excuse is , then ? do you think dad would let his wife be arrested for perjury , jack ? jack : you stop right there . billy : with everything she has been through , you have done nothing to protect her . nothing . you might as well be in that cabin back on the island , because you are useless to her . mm - hmm . victoria : i never expected billy to tell the truth tonight . but you know that jack wants to do the right thing . he told you so . and you refused to listen . phyllis : you have no idea what my husband and i talk about . victoria : i know that he tried to talk you out of this vendetta . he hates it , phyllis . how can you claim to love him and completely disregard his feelings ? phyllis : what about your vendetta ? dragging the rest of us through this because you ca n't make billy your little puppet , making him say and do and think what you want him to ? forget about his own volition . victoria : boy , you and billy really do bring out the worst in each other , do n't you ? phyllis : why ? because we took victor on ? billy is the strongest man you know . and that includes that man who 's watching over us . you should be on your knees grateful for the kind of man billy is , but instead , you 're sitting in daddy 's chair playing boss . you do n't deserve billy anymore . probably never did . [ door opens ] nikki : oh , my god . victor ! how -- how -- what ? did you break out of prison ? victor : do you think i 'm gon na stay in that prison cell and rot ? i have a company to run . nikki : you escaped for newman enterprises ? damn it , victor ! victor : you 're such a fool . you 're such a fool . i have missed you , baby . i 've come here for you . you 're in my head , you 're in my dreams . i ca n't -- i ca n't sleep . i just think about you all the time . come here . nikki : oh , victor . [ knock on door ] nikki : victor ? ! [ knock on door ] mitch : the guard never gave us a motive for the attack . victor : hmm . mitch : no bribe , no orders . no personal grudge against you . the situation 's been handled . victor : [ breathes deeply ] and that 's all you 're gon na do ? mitch : mr. newman . victor : hmm . mitch : are you okay ? victor : [ groans ] [ next_on ] devon : as the man writing the checks , i think that it 's time that ashley take back her title and her office . nikki : and i realized something about today . jack : what 's that ? nikki : it 's my anniversary .
natalie and mariah worry about giving their depositions and convince kevin to talk to summer . summer agrees to try to convince victoria to take the deal jack offered . billy gives his deposition . victoria insists on attending . she accuses billy of choosing passkey over his family . summer is conflicted after talking to phyllis . she feels that if she tells the truth , she will break her mother 's heart . talking to victoria does no good . victoria refuses to take jack 's deal . billy and phyllis wonder where jack is . he is at the hospital with nikki . he makes a deal with nikki- he will let her tell her family on her own time if she attends an aa meeting with him . she agrees . she falls asleep in her hotel suite and has a dream that victor comes to her . there 's a knock at the door and she wakes up . she 's disappointed to see that it 's just room service bringing her tea and not victor . phyllis gives her deposition . after , victoria asks for time alone with phyllis . she questions phyllis ' love for jack when jack wanted peace between their families . at the prison , the warden tells victor that it was a guard who stabbed him and not a personal vendetta . victor stumbles back and sits on his bed . his wound is bleeding .
<s>[INST] michael : your outline for the direction of the questions is very strong , but i do have a few suggestions -- leslie : well , that 's why you called me in , is n't it ? to handle the depositions . michael : absolutely . leslie : then do n't second - guess me , michael . victoria : we appreciate you stepping in at the last minute , leslie . michael : yeah . as it appears , i will no longer have a license very soon . leslie : you do n't need your license if i 'm here . michael : of course . but for some of the witnesses , you 're gon na need to know when to push and when to back down . mariah functions on money and affection for my brother . natalie on pride and her ability to program . summer is a very different -- leslie : i know the players , and i know this game . michael : i did n't mean to imply you do n't . victoria : michael is being paid to protect newman interest . jabot 's profiting from a security program that we paid to develop . i want it back , and i want the profits . leslie : and i plan to get them for you . victoria : i 'll be sitting in on the first two depositions -- billy and phyllis . leslie : did you two discuss this ? that might compromise their willingness to be forthcoming . victoria : well , i will be there , and if they have the brass to lie , i will be watching every minute of it . phyllis : jack , are you on your way ? this is the third voicemail . the depositions are about ready to start . call me . billy : that 's a good sign . jack 's awol . feel great about this right now . phyllis : no , it does n't mean anything . jack 's just busy . billy : busy ? what 's more important than this right now ? nikki : jack , i called you because i trust you . please do n't prove me wrong . promise me that you wo n't tell anybody what happened . jack : nik , a bystander brought you to the e.r . you were hit by a car . you ca n't just wish something like that away . nikki : yeah , well , if my family knew about it , i would just be adding more misery to everything else they 're going through . if they knew that i was careless enough to run into -- jack : you were more than careless . you were drunk . nikki : jack , please . i am admitting that i need help with this , okay ? i need someone to count on . please . let it be you . mariah : oh , come on . natalie : no , no , no ! kevin : `` all assets pertaining to pass key have been frozen pending legal action . `` mariah : i do n't have any assets , and now they 're frozen ! i hate these people ! natalie : newman people ? mariah : everyone ! every single person on planet earth . i did n't mean you , kind of . natalie : i ca n't do this . i ca n't be around you . mariah : do n't you think that 's a little harsh , swizzlestick ? kevin : i do n't blame you for blaming me . this is my fault . you trusted me with your program , and ... natalie : did i ? i sold it to you , kinda . and i sold it to phyllis , too . i hedged my bets . i screwed myself over . i screwed you over . and i hate it . you were the one person who was n't just out to make an easy buck . mariah : okay , okay . enough with the eulogies . we are not dead , and neither is pass key . have the depositions even started yet ? no . so everybody calm down , shut up , and have a cookie . kevin : oh , yeah . 'cause that 's gon na save us all . mariah : no , it wo n't . but she might . ian : victor . i heard your newest fan calling you at lights out . do you need help ? victor : how 'd you get out of your cell ? ian : do you even have to ask that ? i am the most resourceful of men . and you better learn how to be the same , sooner rather than deader . [ chuckles ] nikki : if anybody finds out about this ... jack : nikki , you 're in a hospital . there 's gon na be a medical report . nikki : no , it 's okay . i 'm gon na tell the nurse that my heel got caught in one of those grates and i just fell on the street . jack : yeah ? and what about the guy that was driving the car ? nikki : no , i 'm okay there , too . i told him that i was fine and that we did n't need to call the police , and he was very grateful for that . and i am fine ! jack : you 're not fine . you 've been drinking and lying and keeping secrets from your family . this is a pathology that you and i know a lot about , nik . nikki : can you blame me for slipping ? my husband is in prison ! he was attacked ! he almost died ! jack : and now you 're making excuses . nikki : all right , you know what ? i did n't call you over here so you could badger me . jack : why did you call me ? you did n't call me here 'cause you thought i 'd look the other way while you crawled back into a bottle . you called me because you knew i would get in your face , point blank , and tell you get honest , work the program , no more excuses , no more lies ! nikki : [ sighs ] i called you because i trust you and i have faith in our friendship and your support . you said that you would help me get sober , and so i am asking you for help ! jack : no ! you 're asking me to lie to cover your mistakes ! and i resent the hell out of that ! mariah : do n't get me wrong . i completely enjoyed natalie laying the guilt trip on snowflake . i mean , that was classic , saying that her parents would forgive her when this was all over but that you and i would be living in a van down by the river . natalie : i did n't say that . mariah : i 'm paraphrasing . kevin : did you really do that ? natalie : social engineering . i was trying to manipulate a variable . mariah : a variable named summer . i tried . natalie tried . now , guess whose turn it is ? kevin : why me ? mariah : 'cause you 're the only person who has n't insulted her highness lately . now , get in there , tiger . make mama proud . natalie : go ahead . kevin : okay , i 'm going . mariah : commence project snowflake . kevin : hey , summer . can i talk to you for a minute ? it 's important . luca : is this about the newman lawsuit against jabot ? kevin : uh , look , i hate to be that guy , but i really just wanted to talk to summer about this . summer : well , i would like luca to hear about this , too . i mean , it is about the lawsuit , right ? specifically my testimony ? kevin : it sucks . i know that . but this is n't the first time you and i have been in a rough situation together , where you do n't know who you can talk to or who you can trust . summer : exactly , kevin . and what did lying do for us then ? it let harding do more damage and cause more harm . kevin : i 'm talking about now . i know you 're scared about contradicting your mom 's testimony , and on the other hand , perjury is also scary . summer : okay , i am done talking about this ! if all you 're gon na do is order me to lie , then i 'm done talking ! kevin : no , no , no , no . i 'm here to offer you a way out . phyllis : jack will be here . he 's just busy . billy : i get it . you feel like jack is gon na have your back no matter what . i used to know the feeling . phyllis : come on . do n't pretend he has n't covered your backside more than once . billy : no , he has , no matter what . yep . in the past . but i 'm talking about the present . right now jack thinks pass key is the enemy , an obsession that ruined my relationship with victoria . phyllis : to be fair , it pretty much did . billy : no . the fact that victoria can forgive her father for everything and me nothing , that 's what killed us . and now jack is acting like you two are about to fall out to the deadly pass key curse , but that 's not true , right ? you two are solid as ever , right ? what if -- what if jack thinks that you two are doomed ? what if he thinks the only thing left to do is walk in there , raise his left hand , and swear -- [ door opens ] billy : michael , whose idea was it to hold this so late ? michael : well , there are benefits to holding depositions after business hours . you 're welcome . billy : yeah , well , we ca n't reach jack . phyllis : unless you 've heard from him . michael : i 'm sure he 'll be here . he 'd want his testimony to be on the record . oh , and , uh , now leslie is ready to depose you . billy : well , then i better get in there , huh ? phyllis : how does it feel ? michael : how does what feel ? phyllis : fulfilling your urge for revenge . michael : you tell me . [ door opens , closes ] leslie : do you swear to tell the truth , the whole truth , and -- billy : and nothing but the truth , so help me god . victor : um , i do n't need your advice , okay ? just get lost . ian : a clever man absorbs knowledge wherever he can find it . and here i am , ripe for the taking . if only you open up your mind to my information . victor : [ chuckles ] ooh . [ sighs ] in all the years i 've lived , i 've never known anyone quite so full of it as you . ian : [ chuckles ] victor : so , um , you said this was all an act . ian : well , no , to be more precise , i said that i had nothing to do with the attack on you . that being said , i am resourceful , victor . how can you not know that about me by now ? [ chuckles ] it 's almost as if you have n't been paying any attention . i - i 'd feel insulted if i had n't gotten rid of my ego decades ago . [ chuckles ] victor : so , you bribed a guard ? that 's what allows you to work around here ? is that it ? anyone can do that . ian : yeah , but how would you know who to approach and how much to offer ? one false move , you could end up in solitary . if you follow my lead , however ... victor : really ? where ? ian : well , wherever your mind can take you . victor : so , you have a plan to get out of here ? ian : oh , you 're paying attention now , huh ? victor : [ chuckles ] ian : yes . victor : [ breathes sharply ] ian : walls could never hold a wandering spirit . [ chuckles ] victor : you know , with all your bull , you 're not the brightest guy , are you ? you got out of here once . they reeled you back in . you ended up right here . ian : yeah , but see , i 've refined my technique since then . victor : oh . ian : yes . victor : wow . ian : all those events , uh , were merely dress rehearsals . victor : oh , i see . ian : i 'm ready for the big time . victor : ooh . mitch : ward ! what are you doing out of your cell ? ian : uh , warden pullman . natalie : we both know how this goes . rich people hire expensive lawyers , and they hang on to their freedom and their bank accounts . people like you and me , we go down . mariah : you 're right . it 's true . all of it . but not this time . i mean it . you busted your butt over this weird program that would n't exist without your weird brain . you deserve your dream no matter how geeky it is . so , if you walk away now , what are you gon na have ? nothing . kevin can do this , so let him . do n't make me be nice to you again . kevin : there is a way for all of this to come out okay , and you would even avoid going in for the deposition . summer : how ? run away ? kevin : jack offered to cut newman in on pass key profits , and i guarantee you there are gon na be plenty of profits to go around , but victoria said no . luca : there must be a reason for her to turn down the offer . kevin : yeah , the reason is billy . a bad breakup does n't encourage rational business decisions . luca : victoria 's making this personal . kevin : exactly . exes torture each other . we 've all been there , and i 'm not judging , but there are innocent people getting caught in the crossfire , people who have waited a lifetime for an opportunity like this . luca : peace is always worth the effort , especially when it can guarantee a share of the profits . if you avoid the battle , you protect hearts and profit margins . summer : okay , why would victoria listen to me ? kevin : because you 're you , summer . she knows you want to do the right thing . the family sees what happened with victor , and i guarantee you they are all wishing they stood by him the way you did . they all wish they trusted their instincts the way you trust yours . talk to victoria . get her to see this is n't only a smart business decision . it 's also a way to avoid future regret . billy : kevin was very low key at first . i did n't need to know about natalie , not -- not by name . um , he said he had access to a brilliant idea , life- changing , one of those things that come up once in your life , and if you blink , you blow it . so i wanted to be a part of it , for financial reasons , for security and independence from my family , for victoria and the kids , for my extended family , the abbotts , and for jabot . our company had been flattened by newman because of me , and i felt like i needed to redeem myself , so i came on board to finance the project . leslie : with what funds ? billy : [ sighs ] i was in the process of procuring the funds when i was the victim of an accidental hit - and - run . leslie : procuring the funds via illegal gambling ? billy : best laid plans . after the accident , i was left in a coma . everyone thought i was a dead man . and while my family and friends were saying goodbye to me , i was deciding whether or not to walk towards the light . in the meantime , victor was convincing kevin to come and work for him , and just like that , natalie was a newman employee . victoria : and you said that you did n't care . you said that , in the end , all that mattered to you was me and the kids and that the money and the prestige did n't matter . it would be a real second start . leslie : okay , victoria , this -- victoria : no ! look , the point is , the truth -- the whole truth -- when you were in a coma , you said you saw us grieving over you , wishing that you would come back . you heard your daughter 's first word . you said that all that mattered to you was coming back to your family and to me . that was all a lie , was n't it ? that was n't the truth . [ footsteps approach ] phyllis : summer , what are you doing here ? summer : i came to see victoria . i 'm gon na ask her to take jack 's offer to share the profits . phyllis : no , no , no , honey , she 's already said no . summer : well , not to me . i have to try . i mean , i do n't want you to have to lie , and a family should not be torn up because of a business deal . luca : yeah , summer 's right . phyllis : this does n't concern you , luca . luca : look , the deal should only be about money , but victoria 's making this personal . phyllis : which is why it 's not gon na be easy to change her mind -- or heart -- about this . luca : look , summer is stronger than most people give her credit for . phyllis : luca , my daughter has fought back from things that would flatten most people , so i know how strong she is . she 's my kid . and i also know that victoria 's very upset . she wants to punish billy badly . luca : summer helps people see things from a new perspective , at least she does for me . look , i believe you can convince victoria not to take her problems with billy out on the world . michael : tell me what you want here . if you want leslie and me to walk away , we can . but this is not what we came here for . victoria : fine . i 'm fine . leslie : now , mr. abbott , tell me about the circumstances surrounding natalie 's termination from newman and her subsequent hiring by jabot . billy : you 're gon na have to ask victor about that . that was his brilliant idea . leslie : and did you have any communications with natalie regarding her progress on pass key before she was -- billy : fired by victor ? who 's in jail , by the way . leslie : what 's your understanding of why she was let go ? billy : she hit a road block as far as i understand it , and he was n't patient enough to wait . leslie : and suddenly jabot thought it was a good idea to hire the same programmer that newman just fired . billy : because i believed in her . i did n't lose hope because it just was n't perfect at the time . i know that if anything is worth having , it 's worth taking a risk . victoria : so you chose a security program over your own family . billy : no , i hired a staffer with an idea who was available , and then you fired me from your life . leslie : back to the order -- victoria : no , he 's done . get him out of here . jack : you ca n't just hide and pretend this did n't happen . your family needs to know you slipped again ! step up . own it . and when you do , i swear i will be there for you in every way i possibly can . nikki : so i have to admit to them that i failed again ... and see their faces filled with pity and anger and blame . and they should blame me . i did this to myself , on top of what i did to victor . i 'm gon na add that burden to them ? how can i do that ? jack : i 'm not gon na lie for you , nik . nikki : just help me get sober now , and then i will tell them . i swear . they already know that i am struggling , okay ? so help me get back on track , and then -- and then i will tell them . you have my word . jack : the word of a drunk . nikki : oh , my god . jack : what is that worth ? nikki : you know , instead of calling you , i could have gone to the closest bar . was i wrong to call you ? jack : okay . okay . you can tell your family on your own time . on one condition . ian : warden , i was just telling , uh , mr. newman here that there was a glitch in the , uh , security system , and i was on my way to , uh , see a guard and report it . mitch : back to your cell , ward . now . now , mr. newman , i have some information for you . victor : after lights out ? mitch : it 's about the attempt on your life . mariah : so , i guess not calling her snowflake to her face helps . who knew ? natalie : we watched you . you really know how to talk to people . not everyone does . kevin : well , luca 's the one who actually convinced her . seriously , that sleazeball helped me out , which made me feel gross . mariah : yeah , and he 'll probably want some sort of brokerage fee on the deal . natalie : ugh . kevin : what ? what 's wrong ? natalie : pass key sales . kevin : what ? did they tank ? natalie : you do n't want to know . mariah : just tell us already since you have the magic ball that sees into jabot accounts . natalie : given our respective agreements with jabot , you each make 100k in royalties and i would get 500k . mariah : [ chuckling ] oh , my god ! kevin : whoa , whoa , wait , wait . but assets are frozen , so we may not actually see the money . mariah : why did you tell us this ? ! kevin : no , no , wait . strike that . you know what ? this is still gon na happen . mariah : no , it wo n't ! kevin : it will ! come on ! you just have to visualize it . come on . mariah : [ sighs ] kevin : uh , okay , this is me , uh , putting a down payment on a ferrari -- a real one , not like the toy one i got you . mariah : [ chuckles ] will that come before or after the foosball table ? kevin : oh , duh . right . foosball first , then ferrari . mariah : well , i would get a first - class ticket to an island , where i would buy my own bungalow on the beach , and then i would drink fruity drinks and read novels and never worry about a tan line ever again . if i could tan . kevin : [ chuckles ] mariah : oh , god . she 's daydreaming about hard drives and mainframes . you really know how to live it up , do n't you , geek girl ? natalie : yeah . i think i do . phyllis : i love you so much , but you ca n't just go in there and change victoria 's mind about jack 's deal . but i love that you want to try . summer : mom , i can not just try ! i have to ! there has to be a way to end this whole fight ! phyllis : victoria wants to hurt billy . she does not care about the fallout . she 's taken a page from her father 's book . there is only one way we can win this . summer : god , i mean , you 're even gon na bring that up now when people are in there giving their sworn testimony . phyllis : i need to know that you 're on my side . summer : mom , i am not like you . i can not -- i can not just lie . phyllis : we can all do things we do n't think is possible if we do them out of love . luca : summer has to do what she feels is right . phyllis : stop talking , luca . summer : mom , i just -- i would not feel right doing that . michael : summer . your deposition is n't scheduled for this evening . billy : this guy gets to give testimony ? he 's lying just standing there . michael : luca is not currently on the list , and that is none of your concern . summer : i need to go talk to victoria . phyllis : summer . michael : summer . phyllis : how 'd it go in there ? i did n't hear any screaming . billy : no , just silently dying inside . phyllis : billy , i 'm sorry . billy : no . it was nothing . it was a piece of cake . did n't let them get to me , not even victoria when she was reminding me of all the promises i made to her . phyllis : [ sighs ] jack : how you feeling ? nikki : [ sighs ] jack : did the meeting help ? nikki : yeah . they always help . until they do n't . but that was our deal . one meeting for your silence . jack : you seem tired . nikki : jack , i am absolutely exhausted . i need to rest , and i ca n't do it at home because bonnie or somebody on the staff will see me like this . oh . how many calls did you miss ? jack : enough . nikki : sorry . you know , you can go . i 'm just gon na sleep . oh , yes , of course . yes , yes . the mini bar . you just clear that right out . jack : you know , the first meeting i ever went to where family was included , the leader of the meeting asked for a show of hands . `` how many of you have ever hidden alcohol or pills from the resident addict to keep them from using ? `` nikki : and what ? 20 hands went up ? jack : eventually the whole room laughed . nikki : i tell you , jack , an alcoholic is gon na drink even if it 's cough syrup , so just leave the mini bar as it is . jack : nope . if you want to drink , you 're gon na drink . but i 'm not gon na make it easier for you . nikki : thanks . jack : i 'll have some tea sent up . and you get some rest , huh ? nikki : thank you for being my friend . phyllis : by the way , summer 's in there trying to convince victoria to take jack 's deal to share the pass key profits . billy : it 's brave , but it 's pointless . phyllis : she feels she has to do something . she 's not gon na lie . billy , she said she could n't live with herself . and even if she goes through with it , kevin , natalie , mariah , they could crack . billy : they wo n't . phyllis : you do n't know that . billy : yeah , i do . they want exactly what we want . they want pass key . phyllis : summer does n't . she just wants to be a good person . billy : well , then she 's not gon na risk hurting her mother . phyllis : so i ask her to choose between me and decency ? i am forcing my daughter to commit perjury . billy : this will work . we just have to stick to the plan . summer : aunt vicki , it does not have to be this way . i know that things with billy are tough , but it does n't mean you have to drag anyone else into this . victoria : i did n't drag anyone into anything . billy conspired to steal intellectual property from newman . summer : okay , so then just agree to share the profits . let the rest of this fight go . it is not good for anybody . it 's twisting people up in knots , and it 's making people do things that they do not want to do . victoria : do things like what ? luca : like barge into meetings to speak their piece . michael : oh , so what ? now you 're speaking for summer ? luca : look , i 'm just here to support her as a friend . look , i know my opinion is n't worth much to anyone , but summer 's should be . she just wants the families to end this war and work together , and all it takes is saying yes . it 's really that simple . [ door opens ] phyllis : sweetie , i 'm so sorry . victoria : are you ready ? phyllis : you have no idea . mitch : your attack was big news . it 's hard enough to run this place on the budget they give me . add negative press in there . but you and the other inmates are here to fulfill your debt to society , not get knifed in the dark . victor : [ breathes deeply ] [ sighs ] someone obviously attacked me . do you have any idea who it was ? mitch : it was a guard . he 's been removed and charged . victor : you say it was a guard ? so someone bribed him . was it ian ward ? natalie : first thing , i get the eye surgery so i have permanent 20/20 eyesight . no more glasses ever . and then i would chop my hair into a swingy bob and i would dye it bombshell blonde . then a little black dress . like , a closet full of little black dresses . like , nothing but little black dresses ever again . and then i would learn to salsa and tango and samba . and i would get a little , fast car that would kick your car 's ass . kevin : oh , really ? natalie : yeah . my car and i would smoke you so hard , you 'd be choking on our dust . kevin : [ chuckles ] summer : [ sighs ] luca : look , summer , what you did was brave . summer : no , it was useless , luca . i mean , now what ? i have to lie like everybody else ? luca : you do n't have to do anything you do n't want to do . summer : okay , so if i tell the truth , that i knew that billy was arranging everything with natalie , then i 'm ruining everything for those three . worse off , i 'm breaking my mom 's heart . luca : listen . summer : [ sighs ] luca : i have n't known you long , summer , but one thing i 'm sure of -- you will break your own heart if you go against your beliefs . summer : okay , so what do i do ? luca : walk into that office and tell the truth . there is no other way . phyllis : i told jack to give billy the money to invest in kevin 's project . jack resisted , so billy gambled to get that money , and we all know how that ended -- with him in a coma . leslie : we 've heard that billy pursued what eventually became pass key as a path to redemption . that was because of paragon , was n't it ? phyllis : you 'll have to ask him . leslie : but you 'd agree that the point of paragon was revenge , to punish victor for bringing marco annicelli to genoa city . pass key was an extension of that revenge . phyllis : pass key was a method of turning a profit to shore up jabot 's losses . leslie : losses from paragon ? phyllis : victor blackmailed jack to hand over $ 500 million because i was not ready to tell the world that i had been sleeping with a stranger . leslie : that still enrages you , does n't it ? i mean , i could n't forgive that . i 'd want to punish whoever put me in that position . phyllis : is this about you or me ? leslie : you . and billy . and your plans to punish newman enterprises . phyllis : victor fired natalie . jabot hired her . the fact that victor made an extremely bad business decision does not make us criminals . it just makes him an idiot . victoria : watch it , phyllis . phyllis : why should i , victoria ? why should i ? is n't that what this is about ? victor screwed up , and victoria 's daddy would never do that . she has to defend his honor . and since you helped get him convicted , now you want to prove that you are still daddy 's special princess ! that is the only reason why we are having this conversation ! so , is that it ? ! are we done here ? ! leslie : [ sighs ] we reserve the right to call you back in . phyllis : looking forward to it , leslie . leslie : i need some coffee . victoria : can you please give us a minute ? phyllis : that means you 've been dismissed , michael . victoria : i have one more question -- off the record . about you and billy . billy : why were n't you at the deposition ? you let phyllis clean up the garbage on her own . jack : phyllis was n't alone . she had you , her new buddy in all things revenge . billy : so you abandon your wife to prove that you 're morally superior to everybody else , jack ? pass key has the opportunity to save jabot . i just protected our father 's company from tanking . jack : protected us , meaning what ? you lied under oath ? billy : let me ask you , jack . what were you doing when you had adam fake the journal to have victor framed for murder ? was that you being righteous and upstanding ? the fact that you have the gall to lecture me right now says that you 're about to side with the enemy and abandon your family and your wife . jack : i 'm about to side with the truth and save you and phyllis from yourselves . and me , jack ? we do n't need your saving . jack : no , of course you do n't , because you do n't even see what 's happening to both of you . billy : oh , no , what 's happening to you , jack . victor beat you , and he did n't do it with marco and he did n't do it with jabot 's money . he did it when you became this pious milquetoast squealing about doing the right thing . you know what that says ? it says let victor have the last word , the last laugh , the last dime out of our pocket . and it 's not just that , jack . you love watching me lose , do n't you ? jack : [ sighs ] billy : it 's like the cherry on your sundae . that 's why you did n't give me the money for pass key in the first place . jack : no , i did n't give you the money 'cause you were drinking again and gambling ! and you did n't tell me what the $ 2 million was for ! billy : i should n't have to tell you , jack ! you 're supposed to trust me . that 's what family does , is n't it ? that 's how dad taught us . jack : you think dad would have given you the money ? dad would have been appalled by this deal ! dad would have killed this deal from the get - go ! billy : that 's what your excuse is , then ? do you think dad would let his wife be arrested for perjury , jack ? jack : you stop right there . billy : with everything she has been through , you have done nothing to protect her . nothing . you might as well be in that cabin back on the island , because you are useless to her . mm - hmm . victoria : i never expected billy to tell the truth tonight . but you know that jack wants to do the right thing . he told you so . and you refused to listen . phyllis : you have no idea what my husband and i talk about . victoria : i know that he tried to talk you out of this vendetta . he hates it , phyllis . how can you claim to love him and completely disregard his feelings ?

sami : yes ! but that is n't why i did it . i did it because of you , brandon , because i love you and i would do anything for you . brandon : what does it have to i do n't need protection . sami : the hell you do n't ! i know that you did it ! i know you killed colin ! brandon : what are you talking about ? sami : do n't lie to me , okay ? abe practically hauls you down to the station for questioning , my uncle bo comes here to ask you more questions . i mean , he looked at you like he could n't wait to have your mug shot plastered in every post office in the country ! they 're not even looking at other suspects because the police know you did it ! brandon : so that 's why you tried to frame my sister ?

tony : oh , much better , now that i know you 're here . lexie : i brought you a couple books to help pass the time . tony : ah , thank you , but i wo n't be here long enough to read them . lexie : tony , you just had major surgery . the doctors ca n't evaluate your condition until the swelling around your spinal cord goes down , and even then -- tony : listen to me , alexandra -- i refuse to spend or waste another minute in this bloody little room , and those doctors who tell me how i 'm supposed to feel . i 've got a future to think about . lexie : well , your future will have to wait . tony : not mine , the twins ! they need a family , a sense of security . and i 'm going to give them that , and more . i will not give up on those children until they have the life they were meant to live . john : it does n't make any sense . marlena : it does to me . john : doc , how can you say you wo n't leave the twins with tony ? they 're already with him . they live with him . he 's their guardian . marlena : and i 'm their therapist . it 's my job to protect their interests . john : now , do n't you think it 's in their best interests if they knew the truth -- if you are their mother ... or not ? marlena : i 'm not sure they can handle the truth right now . john : can you ? i mean , is n't that why you ... do n't want to go -- you 're afraid that you might find out that it 's not true ? you do want them to be yours , do n't you ? like sands through the hourglass , so are the days of our lives . brandon : why did you think i was guilty , samantha ? sami : why ? brandon : answer me . sami : brandon , you said you were going after colin that night . you found the dead body , did n't tell the cops , and then left the scene before they got there . brandon : so ? you added up 2 and 2 and got what , 12 ? sami : well , there 's more . i overheard you talking to your mother . brandon : what ? sami : you were discussing colin 's death , and you told her that you could n't deny to your own mother that you had killed him , so i thought that -- brandon : the worst . sami : well , yeah ! brandon : you 've been with me all this time , thinking i was a murderer ! sam brandon , i was n't thinking about it like that . look , i believe that fate caught up with colin , that he got what he deserved . brandon , we 're alike , you and i . okay ? that 's why we were drawn to each other in the first place . look , neither of us just sits around waiting for things to happen . actually , you are the only good thing to come into my life really ever without me having to plot and plan for it . what i 'm trying to s is that neither of us always follows the rules , okay ? and -- and sometimes we go further than we had planned , but we understand each other . i love you for who you are , and i thought you felt the same way about me . you always said that you understood me better than austin ever would . is that true ? am i wrong to believe that ? jack : uh , uh , alice , if abigail wakes up again , just , uh ... just let me know . jack : well , you 're still up . i 'm surprised . i thought you would have passed out by now . nicole : you want to see a murder , jack ? just keep trying to pin colin 's death on me . jack : i 'm just looking for the truth . nicole : you would n't know the truth if it bit you in -- jack : what are you so worried about ? no one 's trying to frame you . the evidence against you is out there already . nicole : first of all , that is bull , and second of all , the salem p.d . has so many suspects , they 're running out of handcuffs , starting with you . jack : mm . bo and abe know i did n't kill colin . nicole : oh , because you and goody - goody jennifer say so ? tell it to a jury ! jack : you ought to start reading the newspaper again , nicole . i 've already been cleared . nicole : oh , and i have n't ? is that whatouou 're saying , jerko , huh ? well , neither has tony and a bunch of other salem suspects . jack : including your husband . nicole : ah ! see what i 'm saying , jack ? widen the ne jack : well , it 's a good thing for victor that a wife ca n't testify against her husband on the stand . nicole : well , if victor 's guilty , i 'd never get in the way of justice . jack : hmm . what do you know ? nicole : now what ? jack : i think i 've got it . i think i just figured out who done it . bo : that 's enough . you may not know who you a , but i do , and you 're not a murderer . hope : bo -- bo : just because you have images in your head does n't mean you killed somebody . hope : i know that , but -- bo : listen to me ! you know how many people had a motive to ki m murphy ? and i just talked to davis . he said you had no evidence of blood on you , you did n't have a gun , you did not ask him to stop on your way home so you could get out . hope : then maybe i hid the gun before i got in the car . bo : where ? we searched every inch of victor 's place . we did n't find a gun . hope : okay , then maybe i brought it home . oh , my god , if i did -- what if it 's here ? what if zack were to find it ? bo : hope , that 's not gon na happen . as soon as you told me you thought you might have killed him , i tore this place apart . i did n't find a gun . hope : look , i know what i did . bo : you think you know what you did . jennifer : uh , excuse me . i 'm going to , uh , i 'm going to make some tea . would you guys like some tea ? hope : sweetie , i 'm sorry . you 're the one who 's not feeling so well . please let me take care of you . bo : why are n't you feeling well ? what 's wrong ? jennifer : i just , um , i - i just have indigestion . i - i do n't know . i 'm going to make some herbal tea . that sounds good right now . bo : you stay right here . i 'll get it for you . hope : actually , i need to talk to you for a second . jennifer : listen , you guys talk , all right ? i wo n't be long . bo : uh ... can this wait a second ? i mean , i just want to make sure she can find what she needs . hope : just a second . bo : all right , okay . i 'll be right back . marlena : do i want to believe that i gave birth to rex and cassie in -- in whatever means , and then abandoned them to live a life of misery and loneliness ? no , i do n't want to believe that . that 's why , when i first saw them and felt that incredible connection to them , and then the evidence began to accumulate ... i did n't want to think it , much less say it out loud . john : i felt the exact same way . marlena : so -- so say we go back to the island . what then ? what if it turns out that i gave birth to tony 's twins , or stef -- or stefano 's children in some horrible experiment ? will you be able to accept that -- that i am rex and cassie 's mother ? will you be able to accept them ? lexie : it just does n't make any sense , tony . family was everything to father . we both know that . tony : so why would he have kept the children away from me ? i keep asking myself that question over and over . lexie : all the suffering ... oh , my god . was he so heartless that he would intentionally let us both go through such hell ? you , with your children -- all that time -- lost ? and me with isaac . lexie : it 's just the two of us now , isaac . you 're my whole life . we wo n't cry , okay ? we wo n't cry for daddy ... and we wo n't cry for our friends in salem . i 'm so sorry , sweetheart . i 'm so sorry . but i 'm doing this for you , okay ? it 's all for you ... because i love you so much . did my father use chemicals on the baby bracelets ? bart : baby bracelets ? lexie : do n't pretend you do n't know what i 'm talking about ! tony : i 'm sorry . i confess , i have no clue . lexie : no , you were n't here , but you were , were n't you , bart ? you were working for my father when the babies were switched . you took part in the deception . admit it ! bart : listen , i do n't -- lexie : the bracelets on isaac and j.t . magically changed names . but it was n't magic , was it ? somebody made it happen . was it my father ? bart : i 'm not at liberty to talk about this right now . lexie : you will talk , and you 'll do it now ! bart : but i ca n't ! rolf made me swear never to breathe a word of this , not even to you ! [ sighs ] oh , jeez ... tony : leave us . bart : no problem . lexie : oh , god ... lexie : father lied to me . his lies ... destroyed my life . tony : there 's nothing you could have done , lexie . lexie : tony ... i asked him . we were in his room , and i begged father to please just tell me the truth -- did he switch the babies ? and he said no . he swore that he had nothing to do with it . tony : yes , but father had his own code of honor , you know . lexie : honor ? ! wellwhwhat about my honor ? i defended him to my husband , tony , to everyone -- bo , hope , john black . they all kept after me , insisting that father engineered the baby switch , but i fought them off . now i 've lost my husband ... i 've lost my baby ... and all because of his lies ! damn you , father ! damn you ! i trusted father completely , and how did he repay that trust ? by lying to me over and over again . tony : i 'm so sorry you went through that , darling . lexie : i hate myself for thinking this , but sometimes i am relieved he 's gone . i do n't mean that . i loved him , and i know that he loved me , but i ca n't help thinking he put me on the path that led to -- i just do n't want to go back . tony : well , of course you don't . it was such an ordeal . lexie : tony , you would n't lie to me , would you ? i mean , father really is gone forever this time , is n't he ? bo : jen ... jennifer : i could n't find the tea , uh , so i - i opened the drawer , and this was there . bo : i found it in a trash can outside , brought it in to bag it when i heard hope confessing to you . she did not kill colin . jennifer : no , of course not . i mean , really , how many times has the trasbebeen emptied since new year 's day ? anybody could have put this in there . bo : yeah . the problem is , hope does n't remember everything that happened that night ... so i 'm going to make absolutely sure i know exactly what we 're dealing with here . jennifer : are you going to tell her that you found this ? bo : no . no . do i have to ask you to keep it quiet ? jennifer : no , i 'm not going to say anything . but you 're going to call roman and abe , right ? bo : no . i 'm going to deal with this thing my way . jennifer : bo , you ca n't do that . bo : hope is not going to be considered a suspect , not by anybody . hope : maybe it 's true . maybe i did n't kill colin . larry : let 's see now ... what am i looking for ? okay . `` symptoms of post- traumatic stress syndrome . `` yeah , that 's what i want . `` often involve ... hallucinations . `` ha ha ! far out . `` panic attacks . `` cool . wait . `` sleeplessness and jumpiness . `` cooler still . `` victims should seek psychiatric help as soon as possible -- `` yeah , yeah , yeah . yada , yada , yada . what is this ? oh ! well ... thank you for the free advice , dr . evans . thank you . i hope you wo n't be needing this book back real soon . nicole : spill , jacko . who killed colin and you better not say it was me , or i will slap a lawsuit on you so fast ! jack : okay . look , it 's a given that sami hates you , right ? nicole : the feeling 's mutual . jack : but it 's not going to earn sami any points with brandon by accusing you of colin 's murder , is it ? nicole : but she is accusing me of colin 's murder . jack : exactly ! exactly . so why is she doing that ? to protect someone else . nicole : you mean herself . jack : no . nicole : then who else would sami ever protect ? jack : who , indeed ? brandon . brandon : are we really that much alike , samantha ? you do what you want because you think it 's right . you never stop to consider what anyone else wants , inuding me . sami : that is not true ! brandon : i did n't ask you to fight my battles for me . and how did you think i would feel if nicole was arrested for murder ? sami : well , i did n't think you 'd like it , but it 's not like i was making up evidence against nicole . braon : no , you were just nudging the cops in her direction . sami : well , i 'm sorry if you think that that 's a bad thing , but you know , nicole had motive , means , and opportunity . maybe she really did kill colin . brandon : excuse me ? did n't you just think that i was guilty ? or maybe my sister and i were in it together . sami : oh , brandon , i am being serious . brandon : so am i , samantha . do n't you understand me well enough to know that i would never let nicky take the blame for something i did ? sami : and what if she is guilty ? brandon : you remember what jack did when he thought jennifer had killed colin ? sami : he took the blame . brandon : exactly . sami : so you 're saying that 's what you would do for nicole ? well , what about me , brandon ? you 're just going to walk out on what we have together ? brandon : does everything always have to be about you ? sami : brandon , it would kill me to see you go to prison for something that you did n't do ! i - i love you , okay ? and you 're going to throw away your whole life for someone who really wo n't appreciate it ? brandon , just this once , ca n't you save our future instead of your sister 's ? marlena : i do n't want to speculate further , okay ? john : even if the truth can hurt us ? hey , what if we go looking for answers and we prove that the twins were created to be stefano 's pawns ? are you willing to accept that possibility ? marlena : whatever our problem with the dimeras , we ca n't blame the children for it . it 's not their fault , nor is their training their fault . john : no , you 're right . it 's not their fault , but that does n't mean that they 're not dangerous . marlena : i 'm not going to do this . john : baby , come on ! we do n't who they are . we do n't know what they 're capable of . listen , sweetheart , i have spent my entire life trying to find my family , and you know what i found ? just because someone is your blood -- marlena : does n't make you love them , does n't make you care for them ? do you want me to turn my back on the cldldren ? jennifer : i ca n't believe that hope would kill a man , either , unless it was in self - defense , unless he was physically threatening her , bo . hope : what 's taking you guys so long ? hey . jennifer : hey . hope : is everything okay ? jennifer : yeah , we -- we could n't find the tea . hope : oh . well , just ask me . anything else i can help you with ? bo : nope , fine . hope : okay . are you feeling okay ? jennifer : you know , actually , i 'm -- i 'm not feeling too good . i 'm going to head on home . hope : i 'll be right back . have you seen a doctor yet ? jennifer : no , i have n't even taken a pregnancy test yet . hope : well , then maybe it 's nothing . jennifer : maybe , but , you know , this is the exact same symptoms i had when i was carrying abby . hope : jen , you have to make sure . jennifer : i will , i will , and if i am , i 'm going to have to tell jack . hope : he loves you . just let him be there for you . that 's all he wants . nicole : eat those words , deveraux . my brother did not kill colin . hehe could n't kill anyone . jack : you better tell that to austin . your sweet and loving brother nearly hammered him to death in that boxing ring , and that was before he hated him . nicole : he was defending himself . jack : is that what you 're going to say on the witness stand ? nicole : my brother is innocent . jack : i 'm sure he 'd appreciate the sisterly support , but the fact is , pushed hard enough , nearly anyone -- nicole : is capable of murder . yeah , yeah , i know . i 've heard that before , but i think it 's a load of crap . jack : is it ? the fact is , colin murphy blackmailed you , slept with you , put you in a very sticky situation with your new husband victor kiriakis , all the while , lusting after another woman . so you see , you really have n't convinced me of anything , have you , nicole ? nicole : do n't you watch `` law & order , `` jack ? whodunit is never who you think . lexie : i 'll tell you what -- let me see if tuscany will let me order takeout . how does veal scallopini sound ? tony : very wonderful . lexie : okay , i 'll go work my wiles on maggie horton . tony : ha ha . tony : close the damn door . rolf : ah . you are looking we , , count dimera . tony : am i ? i feel like pulling your bloody head off . so when did you intend to tell me that i sired cassie and rex ? but let me take a guess -- never . rolf : ha ha . count , i assure you , your father swore to me that the gemini twins were not dimera offspring . tony : liar . you knew my red blood type . you also must have known about cassie 's . rolf : well , yes , but statistically , it 's far from certain that you and she are related . tony : dyoyou remember father 's words , rolf ? the key to the past and the future . you knew about that . you said nothing . rolf : because there was nothing to tell . tony : i may be paralyzed , but i 'm as formidable as ever , probably because i am so angry , but supremely motivated . rolf : count , i would never make the mistake of assuming that your physical infirmity has in any way diminished your power . why , your condition here -- tony : just cut the crap . what else have you lied to me about ? and what did my father plan r r cassie and rex to do ? and who is their mother ? john : doc ... i would never , ever ask you to abandon your children . marlena : that 's what you are asking me to do . john : no , it 's not . i 'm just -- i 'm asking you to be careful . marlena : careful ? of what ? john : i ca n't deny you your flesh and blood , but you can not deny me you . now , i want you to be happy , but , damn it , i want you to be alive . jennifer : i cano o this . i know i can . i can -- i can do this . jennifer : hi . jack : oh , jennifer , you 're here . uh , look , we have a visitor . it 's , uh ... nicole : well , well , well , if it is n't the prodigal reporter . jack : never mind her . she 's more than a little drunk . nicole : if i find out that you and your ex have been working together , i will put your beloved `` spectator `` out of business , so mind your own business and stay out of mine . excuse me . jack : goodbye , nicole . jennifer : what was that all about ? jack : nothing . she 's just blowing off a little steam . you can forget it . jennifer : gram ... jack : uh , alice -- jennifer : i 'm sorry that youawaw all that . alice : oh , darling , i was upstairs with abby . jennifer : oh , good . is she okay ? alice : she 's fine , but ... how are you ? jennifer : oh , gram . alice : oh , darling . hope : how 's zack ? bo : julie says he 's still asleep . did n't have the heart to wake him . hope : oh , gosh . you know he 's going to be up all night . bo : you know what ? i 'll take the 2 : 00 a.m . shift . you need your sleep more than i do . hope : i do n't think that 's going to be a problem anymore . bo : why is that ? hope : well , the prescription that marlena gave me for my anxiety , which i 'm assuming is to help me sleep . i have n't even filled it yet , i 'm happy to say . bo : you 're feeling that much better . hope : yeah , actually , i am . i do n't know , maybe it 's the thepypy , maybe it 's finally knowing what 's wrong with me , but life is feeling pretty darn good to me right now . you know that `` victim `` sign around my neck ? i ripped it off and threw it away . bo : i 'll drink to that . hope : so will i . larry : dr. marlena evans ... hmm . dr. m. evans . yeah . [ taps pen ] larry : what were you thinking , dr . e .... when you prescribed this very bitter pill for poor hope to swallow ? sami : okay , listen , if the situation was reversed , and i was the one who was in trouble , you would do everything you could to protect me , right ? brandon : i would n't go behind your back . sami : even if you were desperate ? brandon : why , samantha ? why do you always make the choice that makes things worse ? not only for you , but for everyone else around you . sami : you 're saying i make everything worse for you ? brandon : i just think that if you would make smarter decisions -- sami : oh , and now you 're ayaying i 'm stupid ? brandon : i 'm saying that you are impulsive . and you know what ? just because you hate your sister carrie does n't mean that i hate mine . sami : do n't talk to me about love in my family , okay ? eric and i are as close as two people can be , and it is thanks to your adorable sister that he 's thousands of miles away , where i never get to see him . brandon : oh , yes , she drove him out of salem . she has that kind of power over him . sami : yeah , actually , she did . and she was trying to ruin us , in case you 've forgotten . but then , even though she 's done all these terrible things , you still love her more than me . brandon : are you saying that i have to choose between you and my sister ? sami : yes , you do . marlena : honey , you -- you said tony told you the twins do n't need me after all . was that what he said ? john : not quite like that , no , but what are you getting at ? marlena : he 's their guardian . he could keep me from seeing them . john : oh , sweetheart , that 's not going to happen in a million years . come on . reverse psychology . and you want to know something ? you are responding exactly the way he wants you to . marlena : i do understand reverse psychology , john , and i will not let him make one single decision for me . john : can you be sure of that ? marlena : are you shortchanging me just a bit here ? john : no , doc , i 'm saying that tony has had a plan since he came to salem . he wants to get a hook into you . marlena : i do n't care what tony wants . i really don't . i do n't care what he wants or thinks or needs , even if we share children . you are my husband . you 're the one i want to share the journey with . are you with me ? john : all the way . rolf : look , count dimera , i swear to you , i know nothing of the twins ' maternity . tony : well , here 's something you must know . you said to me that the twins are trained to almost do anything . what did that encompass -- psychic healing , murder , what ? rolf : whatever you wish . tony : what i wish ? what i wish -- and please take a mental note of this -- isis that the twins lead normal lives , as normal as they possibly can after what 's been done to them . but i swear to you , if my children are ever used for nefarious purposes , a tragic fate will visit those involved . understood ? rolf : certainly , count dimera . you 're a cavity fighter , huh ? brandon : damn it , samantha -- sami : brandon , please , i have had -- look , i 'm -- i 'm just in -- aah ! brandon : [ grunts ] get out . get out ! sami : look , brandon , i did n't mean for you to -- jennifer : bye , gram . be careful . jack : really , drive -- yeah . you know , she would have stayed . if you 're still not feeling well , she would have stayed right here with us . jennifer : no , it 's okay . i , uh ... whatasas nicole doing here , anyway ? i can still smell the alcohol fumes . jack : well , she 's extremely nervous about colin 's murder . it 's made me want to just dig deeper and harder and look past the obvious suspects in the case . jennifer : you know what ? i think that we should just leave it alone . i think we should just let the whole thing go . jack : no . you never do that with a story . you never let it go , especially when it means something to you . jennifer : it does n't , though . it does n't mean anything to me anymore , all right ? let 's leave it up to the police . it 's their job . jack : jennifer , i - i -- jennifer : no , listen to me . we'rgoing to get in way over our heads , and it is no good . do you understand me i ca n't face it , all right ? can you understand that ? jack : no . what 's going on here , jennifer ? what are n't you telling me ? hope : mm . i could just fall asleep here , brady . bo : no anxiety ? hope : mnh - mnh , none . bo : good . i 'm going to make sure it stays that way . i 'm going to go have that prescription filled . hope : no , brady , really , honestly , i do n't think i need it . bo : well , just in case . you do n't have to take it . i wo n't be gone long . i 'll clean this up . hope : mr . perfect , huh ? bo : yeah , and do n't you forget it . hope : i never forget it . hope : `` self - defense in six days . `` well , it does n't hurt to keep practicing just in case . i 'm going to get my life back . i 'm going to get better ... take back control . bo : hey , is this a bad time ? john : no . no , not at all . what 's up ? bo : well , i need a 24-hour lab that can do a dna test on the q.t . john : yeah ? why ? bo : well , nothing i can talk about right now . john : all right . your man is dr . christopher dunn , the wetzel labs , jefferson street . just tell chris i sent you . bo : thanks , man . i owe you . i got to do it , fancy face , to prove you 're innocent . larry : a prescription for death ... for bo and hope brady . marlena : what did bo want ? john : not exactly sure . a favor . marlena : did he mention hope ? john : no . we got to get going . marlena : no , john -- john : we said we were going to find some answers today . marlena : we said we 'd do it together . right now , hope needs me , and belle 's having a mighty hard time with shawn . john : listen , i 'm not convinced we 're going to find the answers about cassie and rex here in salem . the books on genetic engineering , the medical equipment , your memories are all -- marlena : i know , i know . they 're all on the island . what if that 's not the only place they are ? what if we never do find them ? john : never say never . i suppose we do n't have to leave today . you take care of belle and hope . and tony -- he 's not going anywhere anytime soon . lexie : ta - da ! tony : mmm , smells wonderful . i just wish i had more of an appetite . lexie : when 's the last time a doctor was in here ? tony : just a few moments ago , actually . lexie : what 'd he say ? tony : oh , the usual -- wait and see . no one 's even bothered doing neurological tests on me . lexie : well , they do n't want to push you , and they do n't want you disappointed if the results are poor because it 's too soon . tony : alexandra , the only way i 'm going to improve is if i leave this hospital . i need to be with the twins . the only thing i feel in this god - awful place is anger and resentment , and that 's certainly not going to be helping the healing process , is it ? lexie : well , what do you want me to do , tony ? tony : well , you -- you 're a doctor . why do n't you give a test ? check my response to pain stimuli . lexie : no , i - i do n't know . tony : please , just -- just one test . i mean , if i could feel this pin against my -- my foot , that could be so encouraging . please . alexandra . lexie : okay . but if you do n't feel anything , that does n't mean that things are hopeless , okay ? it just means that you need more time to heal , right ? tony : i understand . lexie : okay . lexie : okay . [ gasps ] oh , my god ! you felt it . tony : ha ha ha ha . oh , my god . lexie : ha ha ha ha . tony : that hurt like hell . both : [ laughing ] shawn - d : so you 're really , uh , you 're really going to go , then . belle : is there any reason i should n't ? cassie : i hate marlena for lying to me , and i will always hate h .. i will never forgive her . rex : do you know what you 've done ? do you have any idea of the hell you 're putting her through ?
hope confesses to jennifer about killing colin as bo walks in and they argue . jennifer leaves the room and finds the bloody rag bo had hidden , and bo tells her to keep it a secret and she leaves . bo makes a call to have something tested as hope thinks about enrolling in a self defense class . meanwhile , larry plans on faking marlena 's signature so he can toy with hope 's prescription . jack and alice chat as a drunken nicole comes in and fights with jack about trying to nail her for the murder . they pass remarks , and then he realizes that maybe sami is protecting brandon , the real killer ! nicole denies this , saying that the killer is never who you think ! marlena and john talk in her office about the twins . they think she might be their mother , and wonder if they could both handle it if it 's true . marlena says if she is , she would n't want to abandon them . they make plans to go to the dimera island for the answers when they are ready . jennifer comes home telling jack to drop the story . sami tells brandon that she was framing nicole because she was protecting him , since he killed colin . brandon denies this , and at the end of their argument throws her out , nicole looking on . lexie checks up on tony and later rolf comes . tony wants the truth about the twin 's paternity ; rolf really does n't know but doubts they are dimera offspring .
<s>[INST] jack : thank you . alice : for what ? jack : for reminding me of what i have , what i almost lost . alice : the first time that jennifer talked to me about you , the first time i saw you two together , it reminded me of what tom and i had . [ doorbell rings ] jack : hold that thought . excuse me . ahem . [ doorbell rings ] jack : just a minute . i 'll be right with ya . [ doorbell rings ] jack : yes ! coming -- whoa ! nicole : you can run , but you ca n't hide , jacko ! jack : well , i hope you walked and did n't drive . nicole : oh , i have my very own private chauffeur , thanks to the great and wonderful mr . victor kiriakis . jack : mm . i see . uh , look , this is n't exactly the best time for a visit , nicole . nicole : you think sami brady ruined your exclusive ? well , you just wait till i get my hands on you , you underhanded bastard ! sami : do n't look at me like that . brandon : there 's no way nicky killed colin . why would you accuse her ? do you really hate her that much ? sami : yes ! but that is n't why i did it . i did it because of you , brandon , because i love you and i would do anything for you . brandon : what does it have to i do n't need protection . sami : the hell you do n't ! i know that you did it ! i know you killed colin ! brandon : what are you talking about ? sami : do n't lie to me , okay ? abe practically hauls you down to the station for questioning , my uncle bo comes here to ask you more questions . i mean , he looked at you like he could n't wait to have your mug shot plastered in every post office in the country ! they 're not even looking at other suspects because the police know you did it ! brandon : so that 's why you tried to frame my sister ? sami : well , what was i supposed to do , let you go to jail ? brandon : what were you supposed to d -- how about asking me ? you could have asked me if it was true , damn it ! sami : you mean you did n't do it ? brandon , you did n't kill colin ! oh , my god ! oh , i 'm so glad you 're innocent . hope : god , jennifer , not only did i kill a man , i covered it up . i do n't know who i am anymore . larry : you were n't supposed to come home so early , bo . oh , well . you see , that 's why we have a plan `` b. `` [ door opens ] lexie : hi . how are you feeling ? tony : oh , much better , now that i know you 're here . lexie : i brought you a couple books to help pass the time . tony : ah , thank you , but i wo n't be here long enough to read them . lexie : tony , you just had major surgery . the doctors ca n't evaluate your condition until the swelling around your spinal cord goes down , and even then -- tony : listen to me , alexandra -- i refuse to spend or waste another minute in this bloody little room , and those doctors who tell me how i 'm supposed to feel . i 've got a future to think about . lexie : well , your future will have to wait . tony : not mine , the twins ! they need a family , a sense of security . and i 'm going to give them that , and more . i will not give up on those children until they have the life they were meant to live . john : it does n't make any sense . marlena : it does to me . john : doc , how can you say you wo n't leave the twins with tony ? they 're already with him . they live with him . he 's their guardian . marlena : and i 'm their therapist . it 's my job to protect their interests . john : now , do n't you think it 's in their best interests if they knew the truth -- if you are their mother ... or not ? marlena : i 'm not sure they can handle the truth right now . john : can you ? i mean , is n't that why you ... do n't want to go -- you 're afraid that you might find out that it 's not true ? you do want them to be yours , do n't you ? like sands through the hourglass , so are the days of our lives . brandon : why did you think i was guilty , samantha ? sami : why ? brandon : answer me . sami : brandon , you said you were going after colin that night . you found the dead body , did n't tell the cops , and then left the scene before they got there . brandon : so ? you added up 2 and 2 and got what , 12 ? sami : well , there 's more . i overheard you talking to your mother . brandon : what ? sami : you were discussing colin 's death , and you told her that you could n't deny to your own mother that you had killed him , so i thought that -- brandon : the worst . sami : well , yeah ! brandon : you 've been with me all this time , thinking i was a murderer ! sam brandon , i was n't thinking about it like that . look , i believe that fate caught up with colin , that he got what he deserved . brandon , we 're alike , you and i . okay ? that 's why we were drawn to each other in the first place . look , neither of us just sits around waiting for things to happen . actually , you are the only good thing to come into my life really ever without me having to plot and plan for it . what i 'm trying to s is that neither of us always follows the rules , okay ? and -- and sometimes we go further than we had planned , but we understand each other . i love you for who you are , and i thought you felt the same way about me . you always said that you understood me better than austin ever would . is that true ? am i wrong to believe that ? jack : uh , uh , alice , if abigail wakes up again , just , uh ... just let me know . jack : well , you 're still up . i 'm surprised . i thought you would have passed out by now . nicole : you want to see a murder , jack ? just keep trying to pin colin 's death on me . jack : i 'm just looking for the truth . nicole : you would n't know the truth if it bit you in -- jack : what are you so worried about ? no one 's trying to frame you . the evidence against you is out there already . nicole : first of all , that is bull , and second of all , the salem p.d . has so many suspects , they 're running out of handcuffs , starting with you . jack : mm . bo and abe know i did n't kill colin . nicole : oh , because you and goody - goody jennifer say so ? tell it to a jury ! jack : you ought to start reading the newspaper again , nicole . i 've already been cleared . nicole : oh , and i have n't ? is that whatouou 're saying , jerko , huh ? well , neither has tony and a bunch of other salem suspects . jack : including your husband . nicole : ah ! see what i 'm saying , jack ? widen the ne jack : well , it 's a good thing for victor that a wife ca n't testify against her husband on the stand . nicole : well , if victor 's guilty , i 'd never get in the way of justice . jack : hmm . what do you know ? nicole : now what ? jack : i think i 've got it . i think i just figured out who done it . bo : that 's enough . you may not know who you a , but i do , and you 're not a murderer . hope : bo -- bo : just because you have images in your head does n't mean you killed somebody . hope : i know that , but -- bo : listen to me ! you know how many people had a motive to ki m murphy ? and i just talked to davis . he said you had no evidence of blood on you , you did n't have a gun , you did not ask him to stop on your way home so you could get out . hope : then maybe i hid the gun before i got in the car . bo : where ? we searched every inch of victor 's place . we did n't find a gun . hope : okay , then maybe i brought it home . oh , my god , if i did -- what if it 's here ? what if zack were to find it ? bo : hope , that 's not gon na happen . as soon as you told me you thought you might have killed him , i tore this place apart . i did n't find a gun . hope : look , i know what i did . bo : you think you know what you did . jennifer : uh , excuse me . i 'm going to , uh , i 'm going to make some tea . would you guys like some tea ? hope : sweetie , i 'm sorry . you 're the one who 's not feeling so well . please let me take care of you . bo : why are n't you feeling well ? what 's wrong ? jennifer : i just , um , i - i just have indigestion . i - i do n't know . i 'm going to make some herbal tea . that sounds good right now . bo : you stay right here . i 'll get it for you . hope : actually , i need to talk to you for a second . jennifer : listen , you guys talk , all right ? i wo n't be long . bo : uh ... can this wait a second ? i mean , i just want to make sure she can find what she needs . hope : just a second . bo : all right , okay . i 'll be right back . marlena : do i want to believe that i gave birth to rex and cassie in -- in whatever means , and then abandoned them to live a life of misery and loneliness ? no , i do n't want to believe that . that 's why , when i first saw them and felt that incredible connection to them , and then the evidence began to accumulate ... i did n't want to think it , much less say it out loud . john : i felt the exact same way . marlena : so -- so say we go back to the island . what then ? what if it turns out that i gave birth to tony 's twins , or stef -- or stefano 's children in some horrible experiment ? will you be able to accept that -- that i am rex and cassie 's mother ? will you be able to accept them ? lexie : it just does n't make any sense , tony . family was everything to father . we both know that . tony : so why would he have kept the children away from me ? i keep asking myself that question over and over . lexie : all the suffering ... oh , my god . was he so heartless that he would intentionally let us both go through such hell ? you , with your children -- all that time -- lost ? and me with isaac . lexie : it 's just the two of us now , isaac . you 're my whole life . we wo n't cry , okay ? we wo n't cry for daddy ... and we wo n't cry for our friends in salem . i 'm so sorry , sweetheart . i 'm so sorry . but i 'm doing this for you , okay ? it 's all for you ... because i love you so much . did my father use chemicals on the baby bracelets ? bart : baby bracelets ? lexie : do n't pretend you do n't know what i 'm talking about ! tony : i 'm sorry . i confess , i have no clue . lexie : no , you were n't here , but you were , were n't you , bart ? you were working for my father when the babies were switched . you took part in the deception . admit it ! bart : listen , i do n't -- lexie : the bracelets on isaac and j.t . magically changed names . but it was n't magic , was it ? somebody made it happen . was it my father ? bart : i 'm not at liberty to talk about this right now . lexie : you will talk , and you 'll do it now ! bart : but i ca n't ! rolf made me swear never to breathe a word of this , not even to you ! [ sighs ] oh , jeez ... tony : leave us . bart : no problem . lexie : oh , god ... lexie : father lied to me . his lies ... destroyed my life . tony : there 's nothing you could have done , lexie . lexie : tony ... i asked him . we were in his room , and i begged father to please just tell me the truth -- did he switch the babies ? and he said no . he swore that he had nothing to do with it . tony : yes , but father had his own code of honor , you know . lexie : honor ? ! wellwhwhat about my honor ? i defended him to my husband , tony , to everyone -- bo , hope , john black . they all kept after me , insisting that father engineered the baby switch , but i fought them off . now i 've lost my husband ... i 've lost my baby ... and all because of his lies ! damn you , father ! damn you ! i trusted father completely , and how did he repay that trust ? by lying to me over and over again . tony : i 'm so sorry you went through that , darling . lexie : i hate myself for thinking this , but sometimes i am relieved he 's gone . i do n't mean that . i loved him , and i know that he loved me , but i ca n't help thinking he put me on the path that led to -- i just do n't want to go back . tony : well , of course you don't . it was such an ordeal . lexie : tony , you would n't lie to me , would you ? i mean , father really is gone forever this time , is n't he ? bo : jen ... jennifer : i could n't find the tea , uh , so i - i opened the drawer , and this was there . bo : i found it in a trash can outside , brought it in to bag it when i heard hope confessing to you . she did not kill colin . jennifer : no , of course not . i mean , really , how many times has the trasbebeen emptied since new year 's day ? anybody could have put this in there . bo : yeah . the problem is , hope does n't remember everything that happened that night ... so i 'm going to make absolutely sure i know exactly what we 're dealing with here . jennifer : are you going to tell her that you found this ? bo : no . no . do i have to ask you to keep it quiet ? jennifer : no , i 'm not going to say anything . but you 're going to call roman and abe , right ? bo : no . i 'm going to deal with this thing my way . jennifer : bo , you ca n't do that . bo : hope is not going to be considered a suspect , not by anybody . hope : maybe it 's true . maybe i did n't kill colin . larry : let 's see now ... what am i looking for ? okay . `` symptoms of post- traumatic stress syndrome . `` yeah , that 's what i want . `` often involve ... hallucinations . `` ha ha ! far out . `` panic attacks . `` cool . wait . `` sleeplessness and jumpiness . `` cooler still . `` victims should seek psychiatric help as soon as possible -- `` yeah , yeah , yeah . yada , yada , yada . what is this ? oh ! well ... thank you for the free advice , dr . evans . thank you . i hope you wo n't be needing this book back real soon . nicole : spill , jacko . who killed colin and you better not say it was me , or i will slap a lawsuit on you so fast ! jack : okay . look , it 's a given that sami hates you , right ? nicole : the feeling 's mutual . jack : but it 's not going to earn sami any points with brandon by accusing you of colin 's murder , is it ? nicole : but she is accusing me of colin 's murder . jack : exactly ! exactly . so why is she doing that ? to protect someone else . nicole : you mean herself . jack : no . nicole : then who else would sami ever protect ? jack : who , indeed ? brandon . brandon : are we really that much alike , samantha ? you do what you want because you think it 's right . you never stop to consider what anyone else wants , inuding me . sami : that is not true ! brandon : i did n't ask you to fight my battles for me . and how did you think i would feel if nicole was arrested for murder ? sami : well , i did n't think you 'd like it , but it 's not like i was making up evidence against nicole . braon : no , you were just nudging the cops in her direction . sami : well , i 'm sorry if you think that that 's a bad thing , but you know , nicole had motive , means , and opportunity . maybe she really did kill colin . brandon : excuse me ? did n't you just think that i was guilty ? or maybe my sister and i were in it together . sami : oh , brandon , i am being serious . brandon : so am i , samantha . do n't you understand me well enough to know that i would never let nicky take the blame for something i did ? sami : and what if she is guilty ? brandon : you remember what jack did when he thought jennifer had killed colin ? sami : he took the blame . brandon : exactly . sami : so you 're saying that 's what you would do for nicole ? well , what about me , brandon ? you 're just going to walk out on what we have together ? brandon : does everything always have to be about you ? sami : brandon , it would kill me to see you go to prison for something that you did n't do ! i - i love you , okay ? and you 're going to throw away your whole life for someone who really wo n't appreciate it ? brandon , just this once , ca n't you save our future instead of your sister 's ? marlena : i do n't want to speculate further , okay ? john : even if the truth can hurt us ? hey , what if we go looking for answers and we prove that the twins were created to be stefano 's pawns ? are you willing to accept that possibility ? marlena : whatever our problem with the dimeras , we ca n't blame the children for it . it 's not their fault , nor is their training their fault . john : no , you 're right . it 's not their fault , but that does n't mean that they 're not dangerous . marlena : i 'm not going to do this . john : baby , come on ! we do n't who they are . we do n't know what they 're capable of . listen , sweetheart , i have spent my entire life trying to find my family , and you know what i found ? just because someone is your blood -- marlena : does n't make you love them , does n't make you care for them ? do you want me to turn my back on the cldldren ? jennifer : i ca n't believe that hope would kill a man , either , unless it was in self - defense , unless he was physically threatening her , bo . hope : what 's taking you guys so long ? hey . jennifer : hey . hope : is everything okay ? jennifer : yeah , we -- we could n't find the tea . hope : oh . well , just ask me . anything else i can help you with ? bo : nope , fine . hope : okay . are you feeling okay ? jennifer : you know , actually , i 'm -- i 'm not feeling too good . i 'm going to head on home . hope : i 'll be right back . have you seen a doctor yet ? jennifer : no , i have n't even taken a pregnancy test yet . hope : well , then maybe it 's nothing . jennifer : maybe , but , you know , this is the exact same symptoms i had when i was carrying abby . hope : jen , you have to make sure . jennifer : i will , i will , and if i am , i 'm going to have to tell jack . hope : he loves you . just let him be there for you . that 's all he wants . nicole : eat those words , deveraux . my brother did not kill colin . hehe could n't kill anyone . jack : you better tell that to austin . your sweet and loving brother nearly hammered him to death in that boxing ring , and that was before he hated him . nicole : he was defending himself . jack : is that what you 're going to say on the witness stand ? nicole : my brother is innocent . jack : i 'm sure he 'd appreciate the sisterly support , but the fact is , pushed hard enough , nearly anyone -- nicole : is capable of murder . yeah , yeah , i know . i 've heard that before , but i think it 's a load of crap . jack : is it ? the fact is , colin murphy blackmailed you , slept with you , put you in a very sticky situation with your new husband victor kiriakis , all the while , lusting after another woman . so you see , you really have n't convinced me of anything , have you , nicole ? nicole : do n't you watch `` law & order , `` jack ? whodunit is never who you think . lexie : i 'll tell you what -- let me see if tuscany will let me order takeout . how does veal scallopini sound ? tony : very wonderful . lexie : okay , i 'll go work my wiles on maggie horton . tony : ha ha . tony : close the damn door . rolf : ah . you are looking we , , count dimera . tony : am i ? i feel like pulling your bloody head off . so when did you intend to tell me that i sired cassie and rex ? but let me take a guess -- never . rolf : ha ha . count , i assure you , your father swore to me that the gemini twins were not dimera offspring . tony : liar . you knew my red blood type . you also must have known about cassie 's . rolf : well , yes , but statistically , it 's far from certain that you and she are related . tony : dyoyou remember father 's words , rolf ? the key to the past and the future . you knew about that . you said nothing . rolf : because there was nothing to tell . tony : i may be paralyzed , but i 'm as formidable as ever , probably because i am so angry , but supremely motivated . rolf : count , i would never make the mistake of assuming that your physical infirmity has in any way diminished your power . why , your condition here -- tony : just cut the crap . what else have you lied to me about ? and what did my father plan r r cassie and rex to do ? and who is their mother ? john : doc ... i would never , ever ask you to abandon your children . marlena : that 's what you are asking me to do . john : no , it 's not . i 'm just -- i 'm asking you to be careful . marlena : careful ? of what ? john : i ca n't deny you your flesh and blood , but you can not deny me you . now , i want you to be happy , but , damn it , i want you to be alive . jennifer : i cano o this . i know i can . i can -- i can do this . jennifer : hi . jack : oh , jennifer , you 're here . uh , look , we have a visitor . it 's , uh ... nicole : well , well , well , if it is n't the prodigal reporter . jack : never mind her . she 's more than a little drunk . nicole : if i find out that you and your ex have been working together , i will put your beloved `` spectator `` out of business , so mind your own business and stay out of mine . excuse me . jack : goodbye , nicole . jennifer : what was that all about ? jack : nothing . she 's just blowing off a little steam . you can forget it . jennifer : gram ... jack : uh , alice -- jennifer : i 'm sorry that youawaw all that . alice : oh , darling , i was upstairs with abby . jennifer : oh , good . is she okay ? alice : she 's fine , but ... how are you ? jennifer : oh , gram . alice : oh , darling . hope : how 's zack ? bo : julie says he 's still asleep . did n't have the heart to wake him . hope : oh , gosh . you know he 's going to be up all night . bo : you know what ? i 'll take the 2 : 00 a.m . shift . you need your sleep more than i do . hope : i do n't think that 's going to be a problem anymore . bo : why is that ? hope : well , the prescription that marlena gave me for my anxiety , which i 'm assuming is to help me sleep . i have n't even filled it yet , i 'm happy to say . bo : you 're feeling that much better . hope : yeah , actually , i am . i do n't know , maybe it 's the thepypy , maybe it 's finally knowing what 's wrong with me , but life is feeling pretty darn good to me right now . you know that `` victim `` sign around my neck ? i ripped it off and threw it away . bo : i 'll drink to that . hope : so will i . larry : dr. marlena evans ... hmm . dr. m. evans . yeah . [ taps pen ] larry : what were you thinking , dr . e .... when you prescribed this very bitter pill for poor hope to swallow ? sami : okay , listen , if the situation was reversed , and i was the one who was in trouble , you would do everything you could to protect me , right ? brandon : i would n't go behind your back . sami : even if you were desperate ? brandon : why , samantha ? why do you always make the choice that makes things worse ? not only for you , but for everyone else around you . sami : you 're saying i make everything worse for you ? brandon : i just think that if you would make smarter decisions -- sami : oh , and now you 're ayaying i 'm stupid ? brandon : i 'm saying that you are impulsive . and you know what ? just because you hate your sister carrie does n't mean that i hate mine . sami : do n't talk to me about love in my family , okay ? eric and i are as close as two people can be , and it is thanks to your adorable sister that he 's thousands of miles away , where i never get to see him . brandon : oh , yes , she drove him out of salem . she has that kind of power over him . sami : yeah , actually , she did . and she was trying to ruin us , in case you 've forgotten . but then , even though she 's done all these terrible things , you still love her more than me . brandon : are you saying that i have to choose between you and my sister ? sami : yes , you do . marlena : honey , you -- you said tony told you the twins do n't need me after all . was that what he said ? john : not quite like that , no , but what are you getting at ? marlena : he 's their guardian . he could keep me from seeing them . john : oh , sweetheart , that 's not going to happen in a million years . come on . reverse psychology . and you want to know something ? you are responding exactly the way he wants you to . marlena : i do understand reverse psychology , john , and i will not let him make one single decision for me . john : can you be sure of that ? marlena : are you shortchanging me just a bit here ? john : no , doc , i 'm saying that tony has had a plan since he came to salem . he wants to get a hook into you . marlena : i do n't care what tony wants . i really don't . i do n't care what he wants or thinks or needs , even if we share children . you are my husband . you 're the one i want to share the journey with . are you with me ? john : all the way . rolf : look , count dimera , i swear to you , i know nothing of the twins ' maternity . tony : well , here 's something you must know . you said to me that the twins are trained to almost do anything . what did that encompass -- psychic healing , murder , what ? rolf : whatever you wish . tony : what i wish ? what i wish -- and please take a mental note of this -- isis that the twins lead normal lives , as normal as they possibly can after what 's been done to them . but i swear to you , if my children are ever used for nefarious purposes , a tragic fate will visit those involved . understood ? rolf : certainly , count dimera . you 're a cavity fighter , huh ? brandon : damn it , samantha -- sami : brandon , please , i have had -- look , i 'm -- i 'm just in -- aah ! brandon : [ grunts ] get out . get out ! sami : look , brandon , i did n't mean for you to -- jennifer : bye , gram . be careful . jack : really , drive -- yeah . you know , she would have stayed . if you 're still not feeling well , she would have stayed right here with us . jennifer : no , it 's okay . i , uh ... whatasas nicole doing here , anyway ? i can still smell the alcohol fumes . jack : well , she 's extremely nervous about colin 's murder . it 's made me want to just dig deeper and harder and look past the obvious suspects in the case . jennifer : you know what ? i think that we should just leave it alone . i think we should just let the whole thing go . jack : no . you never do that with a story . you never let it go , especially when it means something to you . jennifer : it does n't , though . it does n't mean anything to me anymore , all right ?

[ tense music ] anna : oh , my -- my sweet roman , such a gentleman . and i realize he -- he does n't want to embarrass you with our pda , but believe me , behind closed doors , he does not hold back . tony : this is not real . you love me , not him . anna : well , i did love you , tony . i did . so much that i -- i carried your ashes around with me for years . but then i realized that was a very unhealthy way to live . so i went and got therapy , and i got help , and i finally came to terms with the fact that you were gone . tony : but i 'm not gone . i 'm standing right here . anna : [ laughs ] but i did n't realize you were alive when i came back to salem . my plan was to put your ashes in the dimera crypt and then move on with my life . tony : by getting engaged to roman ? anna : well , is that so hard to believe ? we do share a daughter after all , and not so long ago roman called me and invited me here on a new year 's eve when i was very lonely . is n't that right , hon ? roman : uh , yeah , but -- anna : and for what i thought was going to be just an old roll in the hay for old times ' sake and `` auld lang syne `` and all of that turned into something a lot more real , because he defended me and stood by me when i was falsely accused of killing andre with your urn , no less . is n't that right , hon ? roman : yeah , it is , but -- anna : he 's always been so loyal and so -- so passionate and so protective of me . he even gave me an alibi , which i did n't need , of course . but anyway , once i was cleared , we started dating , and then it really got quite serious . is n't that right , hon ? is n't that right , hon ? roman : uh ... yeah , but , uh , but we , uh , we broke up . tony : what kind of game are you playing here ? anna : heh ... great riches will find you when liberty mutual anna : i am not playing games . tony : so you and roman , you -- you did n't break up ? anna : well , i mean , we did about a year ago , but that was only because at the time i was n't entirely over you . and he deserves my whole heart , which i could n't give to him then , but i can now . tony : but this does n't make sense . i was with marlena earlier , and she told me that you were heartbroken this morning because you and i are gon na spend another day apart . anna : well , she must be mistaken , because you are just a teeny , tiny speck in my rearview mirror . tony : look at me . look at me . [ chuckling ] i see it in your eyes . you love me just as much as i love you . we belong together . anna : then why are you still married to nicole ? tony : because i already told you , to save the family legacy . and it 's not going to be forever . anna : and what am i supposed to do in the meantime , tony , sit around and wait ? you can forget that , tony . if holding on to some stupid company is more important than holding on to me ... tony : anna , please . anna : then roman is the good choice . it 's a fabulous choice . because he and i ca n't wait to spend the rest of our lives together . tony : is this true ? are you going to make anna your wife ? gabi : so you do n't know who that mystery woman is or why she was running away from hope when hope was trying to give her her money back . rafe : i can not discuss this with you . gabi : oh , come on . look , i read enough in that file to know that before ted was killed hope gave him back that expensive necklace . and then all of a sudden , it ends up in a trash can . so i 'm thinking that that woman was in ted 's apartment , and she took it , and then she dumped it . rafe : maybe . gabi : all right , listen , i know that hope , she brought that necklace here . did you guys find anything on it , prints , anything that could find who this mystery woman is ? rafe : well , here 's the thing about thieves , a lot of times they were gloves . gabi : okay , i get it , but , i mean , if it was a robbery , then why would she throw the necklace away ? you do n't think it 's a robbery . you think that person killed ted . rafe : listen , all i can tell you is that i am asking the same questions that you are asking me , all right ? gabi : all right . rafe : all right . gabi : you know , so maybe it 's possible that she could have shot ted before stefan even got there . rafe : it is possible . gabi : rafe , then you need to find her . rafe : what do you think i am trying to do , hmm ? [ tense music ] john : well , xander , the fact is , neither one of us has the ability to grant you an immunity deal . xander : not my problem . hope : yeah , well , it is your problem , because there is a lot of pressure on the pd to solve this case . xander : are you suggesting your former colleagues would pin a murder on an innocent man ? hope : no , i 'm just saying that the police will implicate someone , and it could very well be you , and once that happens , our hands are gon na be tied . john : you know , but the thing is , if you tell us the truth right now , we can help you get out in front of all this and avoid a long stretch in prison . xander : but i 'm not going to prison , 'cause i did n't kill ted , but i have a pretty good idea who did . john : well , it should n't be a problem , just give us a name . xander : we 're just going around in circles , are n't we ? i do n't know about you , but i want to get off this wild ride , but when i go , i can go forth with a clear conscience , unlike you two , who will have blood on your hands . hope : for what ? xander : failure to act . there is a killer on the loose in salem . if you want them off the streets before someone else turns up dead , i suggest you help me give the da a new suspect . stefan : i did not kidnap or murder anyone . i 'm being framed . shin : by ms . hernandez ? according to ms . walker , ms . hernandez only married you because she had some score to settle . stefan : oh , yes , that is true . gabi wants to destroy my life , but nicole is the one who is trying to frame me . shin : another personal vendetta ? stefan : i do n't know what her motivation is , but i know she wo n't back off . i mean , it was bad enough that she convinced ted and kate to say that i kidnapped them . but i think nicole killed ted to put the final nail in my coffin . shin : that 's a serious charge you make without evidence to back it up . stefan : well , i -- i 'm working on it . i have someone investigating as we speak . kate : do n't you realize we could both end up like ted ? nicole : mm ... not me . because i 'm doing exactly what i 'm supposed to be doing . now , you on the other hand made a big mistake coming here trying to get me to team up with you . kate : you would n't do that . nicole , you can not tell anyone . nicole : oh , i 'm sorry , kate . but unlike you , i know where my loyalties belong . kate : oh , my god . what the hell have i done ? who 's gon na help me now ? ben : how about us ? [ dramatic music ] -guys , i want you to meet someone . kate : what the hell are you doing here ? ben : i 'm here on assignment for stefan dimera . kate : oh , stefan assigned you and your girlfriend to be underneath nicole 's bed ? ben : mr. dimera believes that nicole is setting him up for your kidnapping and ted 's murder . we came here to find proof . ciara : and based off of what we just heard , nicole is n't the only person involved . ben : and it sounds like somebody is pulling both your strings , kate . who is it ? kate : you have no idea of what you 've gotten yourself into . you need to get the hell out of here and forget about everything you heard . ben : oh , what i heard is that stefan did n't kidnap you . but you told the cops that he did . kate : because i had no choice , because my family was threatened . ben : okay , hey , i get it . you 're a victim in all this . you 're scared . i get it . but stefan 's a victim too . that 's why if you 're gon na team up with anybody , it should be him , then you guys can join forces , and you can fight back together . kate : yeah , well , it 's too late for that , way too late , because nicole 's already out there reporting what i wanted to do , all right ? right now , i 'm as good as dead . ciara : reporting to who ? kate : get out . ben : let us help you . kate : get out ! because if you do n't , i call security , and you 'll be arrested . [ tense music ] tony : do you really want to marry my anna ? roman : uh ... you know what , tony ? we did n't get it right the first time , and i am a big believer in second chances . anna : do you see ? you see ? roman and i have rekindled our romance . my love for him is stronger than ever . tony : but not stronger than your love for me . anna : [ scoffs ] the ego on you . tony : this is not about ego . it 's the truth . when i battled back from the brink of death twice sometimes the pain was so excruciating that i wanted to give up , but i didn't . do you know why ? because of you . because in my darkest hour , i could feel your love pulling me through so i could be strong again , so we could come back together , and i am not about to give you up for another man . anna : so does this mean you want to fight for me , tony ? tony : yes . anna : oh , tony . there 's only one way you can stop me from marrying roman . tony : well , what is it ? tell me . what ? anna : you have to divorce nicole . [ tense music ] nicole : [ scoffs ] where the hell is shin ? stefan : sorry for rushing you out of there like that . i thought we should have this conversation in private . shin : would n't want anyone to overhear the accusations you 're making against ms . walker , especially if they 're untrue . stefan : i 'm really confident i 'm right about nicole . you should get rid of her . shin : i appreciate your passion , mr . dimera , but without any proof of wrongdoing , i 'm reluctant to take any action . [ cell phone ringing ] it 's ms . walker . do n't -- do n't -- do n't answer it . just give me a little bit more time , and i will get you the proof that you need to show you that i 'm being set up , then i can have my job back . [ phone beeps ] shin : i will put ms . walker off for now . as far as your future with dimera , i 'm not making any promises . stefan : it 's my father 's company . shin : your wife is well on her way to taking it down . she fooled you into backing her as ceo , and we could all end up paying the price . stefan : i knew that sham of a marriage was a mistake . nicole : mr. shin , once again i am sorry for being late , but i 'm here now in the square ready to discuss how to remove gabi hernandez from dimera before she can do any more damage . gabi : okay , listen , this is huge , because if stefan did n't kill ted , then he 's not gon na go to prison . this changes everything . rafe : hmm . see , i still do n't get why you care , but if you hate stefan , then why are you worried about what happens to him ? gabi : well , if stefan gets cleared , then he could come after me . i mean , you 're the one that mentioned that in the first place . rafe : how the hell does that even make sense , hmm ? you want him to be cleared on one hand , yet the other you 're worried if he is cleared that he 's gon na come after you ? gabi : i -- yes , i -- i want justice to be served if stefan is innocent , but i am worried that he could be a maniac . rafe : sis , hello , it 's me you 're talking to here , okay ? so despite what you say about being scared of him , i think it 's something else . in fact , i think you 're in love with him . [ tense music ] gabi : rafe , come on . how could i possibly love a man that framed me for a murder that i did not commit ? my -- my daughter thought i abandoned her . i could never carry another child to term because of him . rafe : gabi , i know how much you 've suffered , okay ? i do . and revenge will feel good in the moment , but it 's just gon na leave you feeling cold . gabi : so you do n't think that he should pay for what he did to me ? rafe : of course i do . the question is , do you ? gabi : oh , come on . you know the answer to that . and why are you interrogating me ? no , no , no . i am not -- i just want you to be honest with yourself . you 're telling me that you hate stefan , you despite him , you want to see him punished , yet when he was brought up on kidnapping charges , you went to the mat for him . gabi : because i thought he was innocent . rafe : mm - hmm , and now you hope he did n't kill ted . gabi : i never said that . rafe : you did n't have to . i can see it , okay ? now , look , i already told you before , stefan is like the last person on earth that i want you to be with , but i 've also learned you 're gon na do whatever you want despite how i feel . so there 's nothing i can do to stop you from being with him . and with that said , i hope he is innocent and it all works out . [ ominous music ] stefan : oh , i got your text . you have news ? ben : we went over to nicole 's room , and -- ben : `` we . `` you both went . ciara : yeah , ben has a record . if he got caught breaking and entering , he could be in big trouble , so i broke in before he got there . ben : we started searching the room . before we found anything , kate walked in . stefan : that makes sense . kate and ted were working with nicole to frame me . ben : no , not exactly . stefan : what , you do n't think nicole 's involved in this ? ben : no , no , she 's definitely involved . she 's smack in the middle of the whole thing . nicole : what the hell is taking so long ? [ scoffs ] shin stood me up . and i bet that little slut gabi hernandez got to him and is filling his head with lies so he 'll keep her on as ceo . [ chuckles ] nice try , bitch . you 're going down . tony : oh , now i understand what 's going on . you 're using roman to try to force my hand . anna : that is totally untrue . tony : well , if you loved him , you would have married him and not worried whether i 'm going to end it with nicole or not . anna : all i know is i want a husband who truly loves me . might be roman , might be you . may the best man win . mm . ahh , looks like i 've got a lot to think about . anna : well , do n't think too long , darling , 'cause roman and i , we might elope at a moment 's notice . tony : oh , okay . bye . roman . roman : tony . anna : oh , thank you , thank you , thank you . ohh , it worked like a charm . ohh . hope : xander 's not budging on this . john : oh , i can keep on pushing him . hope : you think he 's playing us ? john : well , a snake like him , anything 's possible , but my gut is telling me that he 's got the goods on someone . think rafe can help us out here , maybe encourage the da to give xander a new immunity deal ? hope : well , it 's worth a try . xander : have we made a decision ? hope : yes , we have . let 's head down to the station and see what we can do for you . discover your skin 's potential : kate : [ sighs ] tony : what are you doing here ? kate : [ sighs ] i was trying to convince your wife to help me fight back against kristen , but she refused , and she left . she 's totally under kristen 's control . ahh , well , i do n't know anything about that . kate : yeah , so you say . you deny working with kristen . you deny knowing where she is . i really hope you 're telling me the truth , because it 's my life on the line . tony : listen , i have my own problems . anna just -- well , she 's so upset that i married nicole , so she 's threatened me . she 's given me an ultimatum . either i divorce her or she marries roman . kate : oh , my god . that will never happen . roman would n't marry anna . tony : well , apparently he 's anna 's knight in shining armor every since she was accused of killing andre . kate : well , then maybe it 's for the best . i mean , do you really want to be involved with someone that unstable ? tony : you 're talking about the woman i love . kate : the woman who carried around your charred remains in her purse for a decade ? tony : oh , but is n't it lovely ? i could n't think of a more ardent display of devotion . kate : really ? we 'll see what happens when she starts displaying her craziness . remember i warned you . [ ominous music ] anna : you did great . tony bought that hook , line , and sinker . oh , thank you for playing along . hey , hey . tony 's gone ; show 's over . anna : jeez , i do n't have cooties . roman : and i do n't appreciate being blindsided . i do n't appreciate it , all right ? i know you were trying to make tony jealous and all that . anna : exactly , and it worked . i mean , now that tony finally understands he could lose me , he 's going to come to his senses and divorce nicole . roman : what if he does n't ? anna : [ scoffs ] [ telephone rings ] rafe : he wants what ? hope : a new immunity deal . john : yep , so that 's the only way he 'll give up what he knows about who really kidnapped ted and kate . hope : and who may have killed ted . [ tense music ] rafe : so stefan 's not involved , hmm ? you lied ? xander : i was in fear for my life . rafe : mm , right , so you , uh , screwed over an innocent man . xander : stefan dimera is hardly an innocent man . stefan : so gabi and i were right about nicole . she did try to frame me . ben : well , it 's a little bit more complicated than that . from what we heard , it sounds like there 's somebody else involved , somebody who has leverage over kate and nicole . stefan : who ? ciara : we do n't know . kate never said the person 's name , but she was basically begging nicole to break ranks and her fight out against whoever it is . ben : yeah , nicole was n't having it . she told kate she made it was a big mistake by even asking . ciara : yeah , and now kate is terrified that nicole will out her as a traitor . ben : i mean , who knows if she really will , but it definitely seems like nicole is much more in sync with this other person . stefan : so we need to get kate alone . ben : no , listen . i -- i tried to convince her , team up with you , you know , tell us what she knows , but she told us to forget everything that we heard . stefan : okay , well , if kate wo n't play ball , then i 'll go to nicole , and one way or another , i will get the truth out of her . [ phone beeps ] ben : okay . stefan : it 's rafe . he wants to discuss the case . good job , both of you , really . i 'll keep you posted . [ tense music ] gabi : [ sighs ] [ tense music ] rafe : now , look , i already told you before , stefan is like the last person on earth that i want you to be with , but i 've also learned you 're gon na do whatever you want despite how i feel . so there 's nothing i can do to stop you from being with him . and with that said , i hope he is innocent and it all works out . [ suspenseful music ] nicole : where is shin ? and what kind of bull have you been feeding him ? kate : [ exhales ] damn voice mail . xander , i need to talk to kristen . it 's urgent , and you need to set it up immediately , and i do n't want to hear no . this needs to be over . [ phone beeps ] [ exhales ] [ telephone rings ] hope : where 's xander ? rafe : talking to trask . john : well , they strike a deal ? rafe : well , they 're working on it , but given that xander 's a liar , the value of his testimony is obviously up for debate . john : mm . hope : thanks for helping us out . rafe : yeah . well , whoever this mystery woman is , we need to catch her before she hurts someone else . gabi : how did you get in the gate ? nicole : answer me . where is shin ? gabi : how should i know ? nicole : oh , as if you have n't been doing damage control to save your own skin . gabi : nicole , what are you talking about ? nicole : do n't play innocent with me . i was supposed to meet shin , and he never showed up , because you stopped him . gabi : you 're sounding paranoid . nicole : oh , knock it off , gabi . [ scoffs ] nicole : game over , okay ? hey . gabi : what ... nicole : i already told shin that you only married stefan to destroy him and that dimera could end up collateral damage . he knows that you 're a scheming little bitch , and he 's going to fire your ass and make me ceo . gabi : oh , i 'm the scheming bitch ? nicole : yeah . gabi : okay , you 're the one that kidnapped ted and kate and then tried to pin it on stefan . nicole : oh , that 's absurd . gabi : i do n't think so . and the cops do n't think so either . they 're actually thinking that stefan was set up , and they 're starting an investigation . i happen to know it 's about some mystery woman . oh , my god . oh , my god . you did n't just frame stefan for kidnapping . you framed him for murder . wait a minute . it was ... it was you . you killed ted laurent . [ dramatic music ] i 'm just a normal person [ light tense music ] kristen : i 'm your wife in public . anna is your wife in the bedroom . i do n't see what the problem is . tony : the problem is that anna would rather die than share me with someone else . kristen : well , it 's up to you . tony : this is not a joke . anna would not go along with this . she 's far too principled . kristen : oh , you mean obsessed . i heard she lugs around your ashes everywhere she goes droning on and on to anyone who will listen that you two are soul mates . tony : mm . we are soul mates . kristen : you know what ? on second thought , the sharing option is off the table . uh - uh , i ca n't trust anna to keep her big mouth shut . and if i want to keep my secret safe , that means that you 'll have to stay away from anna entirely . otherwise , i 'm gon na have to eliminate her . tony : you really are serious that you would murder the woman that i love . kristen : well , i do n't want to . but unless you swear to steer clear of anna , i 'm not gon na have a choice . tony : you are so evil . oh , anna . what am i gon na do ? [ inhales and exhales ] i do n't want to lose you . anna : tony may have played it cool there at the end , but believe me , i could tell , his insides were boiling with jealousy . roman : his insides . anna : yes , oh , yes , just the idea of you and me walking down the aisle together is driving him nuts . there 's no question he will divorce nicole now . roman : i repeat , what if does n't ? what if you 're wrong about that ? anna : well , we 'll just cross the bridge when we come to it . [ jazzy music ] shin : is n't it a little early for martinis ? kate : it 's never too early for martinis . shin : i could use a drink myself . kate : oh , hard time at the office ? shin : i 'm sure you 've been following the news . ever since stefan was arrested for murder , the two mrs . dimeras have been vying to run the company , but frankly , neither inspires much confidence . kate : well , you 're not going to get an argument from me about that . shin : there is another mrs . dimera i could consider . kate : i hardly think abigail is up to the job . shin : i was talking about you . nicole : i had absolutely nothing to do with ted 's murder . stefan whacked him , because he did n't want to testify against him in the kidnapping case . gabi : i do n't think so . no , no , no , no , i think you were afraid that ted would talk , yeah , that he would tell the police that you were involved in the kidnapping , so you decided to kill two birds with one bullet . you shot ted , and you were hoping that stefan would take the blame . nicole : that 's absurd . gabi : no , and i think that you were the woman that hope saw throw away that necklace , the one you took from ted 's apartment to make it look like a robbery . nicole : wow , you are really losing it . gabi : no , i 'm not , okay ? i saw the report . i 'm pretty sure that hope could pick you out of a lineup before you could even say `` life in prison . `` mm - hmm . hope : that was n't a total loss . john : nope . hopefully , they 'll cut him a deal and xander will start talking . hope : yeah , well , we both know that we ca n't rely on him . i wish we had more to go on so we could identify that mystery woman who may have killed ted and framed ... hey . ciara : actually , we have some new leads . [ ominous music ] stefan : you have an update on my case ? rafe : yeah , actually , xander appears to be backing off his claim that you were behind the kidnapping . looks like he 's gon na point the finger at someone else . stefan : i told you i was innocent . i ca n't wait to tell your sister i 'm taking my company back the moment i 'm cleared . rafe : yeah , for the record , i just spoke with my sister , actually , and as much as she wants revenge , i actually think she regrets what she did to you . now , if it were up to me , i 'd never let you anywhere near my sister again , but for some reason , she seems to have feelings for you , and , well , i think you feel the same way about her , so why do n't the two of you just grow up , be honest with each other , and put this behind you ? [ tense music ] nicole : you do n't know what you 're talking about . gabi : look , i get it . i know you want to get revenge , but you have taken this way to far , nicole , okay ? i am not gon na let you steal dimera , and i 'm not gon na let you frame stefan for a crime he did n't commit . nicole : and i 'm not gon na let you ruin this for me . gabi : let ... let go . nicole , what are you -- are you crazy ? oh . oh , my god ! ohh ! ohh ! no ! ugh ! what ? what is this , a wig ? what ?

[ suspenseful music ] male announcer : like sands through the hourglass , so are the `` days of our lives . `` [ soft orchestration ] nicole : well , i do n't know why ted would tell you that , but he was lying . kate : well , my eyes were n't lying when i saw you open the door to the secret room . you saw ted and me , and you slammed the door shut . kate : are you the one who hit me on the head in this room ? nicole : excuse me ? kate : well , you know , 'cause i 've never figured that out , who hit me , because they came up behind me , so either it was you or the person who 's threatening us both . john : so go ahead , xander . just blow us away . xander : before i say anything , i 'll need a new deal , same as before , full immunity . hope : okay , so you 're admitting that you lied when you said that stefan ordered ted in kate 's abduction ? xander : i 'm not admitting anything . i 'm just saying it 's possible i was mistaken about stefan 's involvement . john : clarify mistaken . xander : perhaps someone was threatening me . hope : and who was that ? xander : you give me a new deal , i 'll give you a new name . john : oh , knock it off , man . you 're really trying my patience now . xander : you 're the ones who told me that my old deal would be invalid if the testimony against stefan proved to be false . i 'm just protecting myself . i do n't want to end up being charged with ted 's murder . rafe : you 're snooping around my desk . gabi : no , i -- i was just collecting information . rafe : you know , i ca n't leave you alone for two minutes . okay , you are jeopardizing my job and my investigation . and by the way , reading confidential police files is a crime , okay ? gabi : okay , well , you know what ? arrest me , then . i need to know who that woman is in that file . rafe : what ? what are you talking about ? gabi : right here , okay ? rafe : you know what ? you -- gabi : this mystery woman . [ tense music ] nicole : you are making a lot of assumptions , kate . none of them are correct . kate : okay , listen , you do n't have to pretend . i know you 're as scared as i am . nicole : i want you to leave . kate : we need to do something about this , because right now , we 're -- we 're prisoners in our own lives . we 're afraid of what will happen if we cross this person . but if we team up , if we join forces , we can work against them . [ telephone rings ] nicole : i have to get this . nicole dimera . shin : i do not like to be kept waiting . nicole : my apologies . i got caught up . i am on my way . shin : this meeting had better not be a waste of my time . ms. hernandez has proven herself to be very valuable to dimera , and i will support her as ceo unless you can make an extremely compelling argument as to why you should replace her . get here fast , ms . walker , or your window of opportunity will be closed . stefan : you ca n't seriously be thinking about putting nicole in charge of dimera . she is dangerous , erratic , and untrustworthy . shin : that 's rich coming from a man who 's just been charged with murder . stefan : i am not the criminal . nicole is . mr. shin , please , you can not give her any more power . nicole will look at you and swear eternal loyalty , and as soon as you turn around , she will stab you in the back . nicole : i have to leave . kate : we 're not finished . [ tense music ] anna : oh , my -- my sweet roman , such a gentleman . and i realize he -- he does n't want to embarrass you with our pda , but believe me , behind closed doors , he does not hold back . tony : this is not real . you love me , not him . anna : well , i did love you , tony . i did . so much that i -- i carried your ashes around with me for years . but then i realized that was a very unhealthy way to live . so i went and got therapy , and i got help , and i finally came to terms with the fact that you were gone . tony : but i 'm not gone . i 'm standing right here . anna : [ laughs ] but i did n't realize you were alive when i came back to salem . my plan was to put your ashes in the dimera crypt and then move on with my life . tony : by getting engaged to roman ? anna : well , is that so hard to believe ? we do share a daughter after all , and not so long ago roman called me and invited me here on a new year 's eve when i was very lonely . is n't that right , hon ? roman : uh , yeah , but -- anna : and for what i thought was going to be just an old roll in the hay for old times ' sake and `` auld lang syne `` and all of that turned into something a lot more real , because he defended me and stood by me when i was falsely accused of killing andre with your urn , no less . is n't that right , hon ? roman : yeah , it is , but -- anna : he 's always been so loyal and so -- so passionate and so protective of me . he even gave me an alibi , which i did n't need , of course . but anyway , once i was cleared , we started dating , and then it really got quite serious . is n't that right , hon ? is n't that right , hon ? roman : uh ... yeah , but , uh , but we , uh , we broke up . tony : what kind of game are you playing here ? anna : heh ... great riches will find you when liberty mutual anna : i am not playing games . tony : so you and roman , you -- you did n't break up ? anna : well , i mean , we did about a year ago , but that was only because at the time i was n't entirely over you . and he deserves my whole heart , which i could n't give to him then , but i can now . tony : but this does n't make sense . i was with marlena earlier , and she told me that you were heartbroken this morning because you and i are gon na spend another day apart . anna : well , she must be mistaken , because you are just a teeny , tiny speck in my rearview mirror . tony : look at me . look at me . [ chuckling ] i see it in your eyes . you love me just as much as i love you . we belong together . anna : then why are you still married to nicole ? tony : because i already told you , to save the family legacy . and it 's not going to be forever . anna : and what am i supposed to do in the meantime , tony , sit around and wait ? you can forget that , tony . if holding on to some stupid company is more important than holding on to me ... tony : anna , please . anna : then roman is the good choice . it 's a fabulous choice . because he and i ca n't wait to spend the rest of our lives together . tony : is this true ? are you going to make anna your wife ? gabi : so you do n't know who that mystery woman is or why she was running away from hope when hope was trying to give her her money back . rafe : i can not discuss this with you . gabi : oh , come on . look , i read enough in that file to know that before ted was killed hope gave him back that expensive necklace . and then all of a sudden , it ends up in a trash can . so i 'm thinking that that woman was in ted 's apartment , and she took it , and then she dumped it . rafe : maybe . gabi : all right , listen , i know that hope , she brought that necklace here . did you guys find anything on it , prints , anything that could find who this mystery woman is ? rafe : well , here 's the thing about thieves , a lot of times they were gloves . gabi : okay , i get it , but , i mean , if it was a robbery , then why would she throw the necklace away ? you do n't think it 's a robbery . you think that person killed ted . rafe : listen , all i can tell you is that i am asking the same questions that you are asking me , all right ? gabi : all right . rafe : all right . gabi : you know , so maybe it 's possible that she could have shot ted before stefan even got there . rafe : it is possible . gabi : rafe , then you need to find her . rafe : what do you think i am trying to do , hmm ? [ tense music ] john : well , xander , the fact is , neither one of us has the ability to grant you an immunity deal . xander : not my problem . hope : yeah , well , it is your problem , because there is a lot of pressure on the pd to solve this case . xander : are you suggesting your former colleagues would pin a murder on an innocent man ? hope : no , i 'm just saying that the police will implicate someone , and it could very well be you , and once that happens , our hands are gon na be tied . john : you know , but the thing is , if you tell us the truth right now , we can help you get out in front of all this and avoid a long stretch in prison . xander : but i 'm not going to prison , 'cause i did n't kill ted , but i have a pretty good idea who did . john : well , it should n't be a problem , just give us a name . xander : we 're just going around in circles , are n't we ? i do n't know about you , but i want to get off this wild ride , but when i go , i can go forth with a clear conscience , unlike you two , who will have blood on your hands . hope : for what ? xander : failure to act . there is a killer on the loose in salem . if you want them off the streets before someone else turns up dead , i suggest you help me give the da a new suspect . stefan : i did not kidnap or murder anyone . i 'm being framed . shin : by ms . hernandez ? according to ms . walker , ms . hernandez only married you because she had some score to settle . stefan : oh , yes , that is true . gabi wants to destroy my life , but nicole is the one who is trying to frame me . shin : another personal vendetta ? stefan : i do n't know what her motivation is , but i know she wo n't back off . i mean , it was bad enough that she convinced ted and kate to say that i kidnapped them . but i think nicole killed ted to put the final nail in my coffin . shin : that 's a serious charge you make without evidence to back it up . stefan : well , i -- i 'm working on it . i have someone investigating as we speak . kate : do n't you realize we could both end up like ted ? nicole : mm ... not me . because i 'm doing exactly what i 'm supposed to be doing . now , you on the other hand made a big mistake coming here trying to get me to team up with you . kate : you would n't do that . nicole , you can not tell anyone . nicole : oh , i 'm sorry , kate . but unlike you , i know where my loyalties belong . kate : oh , my god . what the hell have i done ? who 's gon na help me now ? ben : how about us ? [ dramatic music ] -guys , i want you to meet someone . kate : what the hell are you doing here ? ben : i 'm here on assignment for stefan dimera . kate : oh , stefan assigned you and your girlfriend to be underneath nicole 's bed ? ben : mr. dimera believes that nicole is setting him up for your kidnapping and ted 's murder . we came here to find proof . ciara : and based off of what we just heard , nicole is n't the only person involved . ben : and it sounds like somebody is pulling both your strings , kate . who is it ? kate : you have no idea of what you 've gotten yourself into . you need to get the hell out of here and forget about everything you heard . ben : oh , what i heard is that stefan did n't kidnap you . but you told the cops that he did . kate : because i had no choice , because my family was threatened . ben : okay , hey , i get it . you 're a victim in all this . you 're scared . i get it . but stefan 's a victim too . that 's why if you 're gon na team up with anybody , it should be him , then you guys can join forces , and you can fight back together . kate : yeah , well , it 's too late for that , way too late , because nicole 's already out there reporting what i wanted to do , all right ? right now , i 'm as good as dead . ciara : reporting to who ? kate : get out . ben : let us help you . kate : get out ! because if you do n't , i call security , and you 'll be arrested . [ tense music ] tony : do you really want to marry my anna ? roman : uh ... you know what , tony ? we did n't get it right the first time , and i am a big believer in second chances . anna : do you see ? you see ? roman and i have rekindled our romance . my love for him is stronger than ever . tony : but not stronger than your love for me . anna : [ scoffs ] the ego on you . tony : this is not about ego . it 's the truth . when i battled back from the brink of death twice sometimes the pain was so excruciating that i wanted to give up , but i didn't . do you know why ? because of you . because in my darkest hour , i could feel your love pulling me through so i could be strong again , so we could come back together , and i am not about to give you up for another man . anna : so does this mean you want to fight for me , tony ? tony : yes . anna : oh , tony . there 's only one way you can stop me from marrying roman . tony : well , what is it ? tell me . what ? anna : you have to divorce nicole . [ tense music ] nicole : [ scoffs ] where the hell is shin ? stefan : sorry for rushing you out of there like that . i thought we should have this conversation in private . shin : would n't want anyone to overhear the accusations you 're making against ms . walker , especially if they 're untrue . stefan : i 'm really confident i 'm right about nicole . you should get rid of her . shin : i appreciate your passion , mr . dimera , but without any proof of wrongdoing , i 'm reluctant to take any action . [ cell phone ringing ] it 's ms . walker . do n't -- do n't -- do n't answer it . just give me a little bit more time , and i will get you the proof that you need to show you that i 'm being set up , then i can have my job back . [ phone beeps ] shin : i will put ms . walker off for now . as far as your future with dimera , i 'm not making any promises . stefan : it 's my father 's company . shin : your wife is well on her way to taking it down . she fooled you into backing her as ceo , and we could all end up paying the price . stefan : i knew that sham of a marriage was a mistake . nicole : mr. shin , once again i am sorry for being late , but i 'm here now in the square ready to discuss how to remove gabi hernandez from dimera before she can do any more damage . gabi : okay , listen , this is huge , because if stefan did n't kill ted , then he 's not gon na go to prison . this changes everything . rafe : hmm . see , i still do n't get why you care , but if you hate stefan , then why are you worried about what happens to him ? gabi : well , if stefan gets cleared , then he could come after me . i mean , you 're the one that mentioned that in the first place . rafe : how the hell does that even make sense , hmm ? you want him to be cleared on one hand , yet the other you 're worried if he is cleared that he 's gon na come after you ? gabi : i -- yes , i -- i want justice to be served if stefan is innocent , but i am worried that he could be a maniac . rafe : sis , hello , it 's me you 're talking to here , okay ? so despite what you say about being scared of him , i think it 's something else . in fact , i think you 're in love with him . [ tense music ] gabi : rafe , come on . how could i possibly love a man that framed me for a murder that i did not commit ? my -- my daughter thought i abandoned her . i could never carry another child to term because of him . rafe : gabi , i know how much you 've suffered , okay ? i do . and revenge will feel good in the moment , but it 's just gon na leave you feeling cold . gabi : so you do n't think that he should pay for what he did to me ? rafe : of course i do . the question is , do you ? gabi : oh , come on . you know the answer to that . and why are you interrogating me ? no , no , no . i am not -- i just want you to be honest with yourself . you 're telling me that you hate stefan , you despite him , you want to see him punished , yet when he was brought up on kidnapping charges , you went to the mat for him . gabi : because i thought he was innocent . rafe : mm - hmm , and now you hope he did n't kill ted . gabi : i never said that . rafe : you did n't have to . i can see it , okay ? now , look , i already told you before , stefan is like the last person on earth that i want you to be with , but i 've also learned you 're gon na do whatever you want despite how i feel . so there 's nothing i can do to stop you from being with him . and with that said , i hope he is innocent and it all works out . [ ominous music ] stefan : oh , i got your text . you have news ? ben : we went over to nicole 's room , and -- ben : `` we . `` you both went . ciara : yeah , ben has a record . if he got caught breaking and entering , he could be in big trouble , so i broke in before he got there . ben : we started searching the room . before we found anything , kate walked in . stefan : that makes sense . kate and ted were working with nicole to frame me . ben : no , not exactly . stefan : what , you do n't think nicole 's involved in this ? ben : no , no , she 's definitely involved . she 's smack in the middle of the whole thing . nicole : what the hell is taking so long ? [ scoffs ] shin stood me up . and i bet that little slut gabi hernandez got to him and is filling his head with lies so he 'll keep her on as ceo . [ chuckles ] nice try , bitch . you 're going down . tony : oh , now i understand what 's going on . you 're using roman to try to force my hand . anna : that is totally untrue . tony : well , if you loved him , you would have married him and not worried whether i 'm going to end it with nicole or not . anna : all i know is i want a husband who truly loves me . might be roman , might be you . may the best man win . mm . ahh , looks like i 've got a lot to think about . anna : well , do n't think too long , darling , 'cause roman and i , we might elope at a moment 's notice . tony : oh , okay . bye . roman . roman : tony . anna : oh , thank you , thank you , thank you . ohh , it worked like a charm . ohh . hope : xander 's not budging on this . john : oh , i can keep on pushing him . hope : you think he 's playing us ? john : well , a snake like him , anything 's possible , but my gut is telling me that he 's got the goods on someone . think rafe can help us out here , maybe encourage the da to give xander a new immunity deal ? hope : well , it 's worth a try . xander : have we made a decision ? hope : yes , we have . let 's head down to the station and see what we can do for you . discover your skin 's potential : kate : [ sighs ] tony : what are you doing here ? kate : [ sighs ] i was trying to convince your wife to help me fight back against kristen , but she refused , and she left . she 's totally under kristen 's control . ahh , well , i do n't know anything about that . kate : yeah , so you say . you deny working with kristen . you deny knowing where she is . i really hope you 're telling me the truth , because it 's my life on the line . tony : listen , i have my own problems . anna just -- well , she 's so upset that i married nicole , so she 's threatened me . she 's given me an ultimatum . either i divorce her or she marries roman . kate : oh , my god . that will never happen . roman would n't marry anna . tony : well , apparently he 's anna 's knight in shining armor every since she was accused of killing andre . kate : well , then maybe it 's for the best . i mean , do you really want to be involved with someone that unstable ? tony : you 're talking about the woman i love . kate : the woman who carried around your charred remains in her purse for a decade ? tony : oh , but is n't it lovely ? i could n't think of a more ardent display of devotion . kate : really ? we 'll see what happens when she starts displaying her craziness . remember i warned you . [ ominous music ] anna : you did great . tony bought that hook , line , and sinker . oh , thank you for playing along . hey , hey . tony 's gone ; show 's over . anna : jeez , i do n't have cooties . roman : and i do n't appreciate being blindsided . i do n't appreciate it , all right ? i know you were trying to make tony jealous and all that . anna : exactly , and it worked . i mean , now that tony finally understands he could lose me , he 's going to come to his senses and divorce nicole . roman : what if he does n't ? anna : [ scoffs ] [ telephone rings ] rafe : he wants what ? hope : a new immunity deal . john : yep , so that 's the only way he 'll give up what he knows about who really kidnapped ted and kate . hope : and who may have killed ted . [ tense music ] rafe : so stefan 's not involved , hmm ? you lied ? xander : i was in fear for my life . rafe : mm , right , so you , uh , screwed over an innocent man . xander : stefan dimera is hardly an innocent man . stefan : so gabi and i were right about nicole . she did try to frame me . ben : well , it 's a little bit more complicated than that . from what we heard , it sounds like there 's somebody else involved , somebody who has leverage over kate and nicole . stefan : who ? ciara : we do n't know . kate never said the person 's name , but she was basically begging nicole to break ranks and her fight out against whoever it is . ben : yeah , nicole was n't having it . she told kate she made it was a big mistake by even asking . ciara : yeah , and now kate is terrified that nicole will out her as a traitor . ben : i mean , who knows if she really will , but it definitely seems like nicole is much more in sync with this other person . stefan : so we need to get kate alone . ben : no , listen . i -- i tried to convince her , team up with you , you know , tell us what she knows , but she told us to forget everything that we heard . stefan : okay , well , if kate wo n't play ball , then i 'll go to nicole , and one way or another , i will get the truth out of her . [ phone beeps ] ben : okay . stefan : it 's rafe . he wants to discuss the case . good job , both of you , really . i 'll keep you posted . [ tense music ] gabi : [ sighs ] [ tense music ] rafe : now , look , i already told you before , stefan is like the last person on earth that i want you to be with , but i 've also learned you 're gon na do whatever you want despite how i feel . so there 's nothing i can do to stop you from being with him . and with that said , i hope he is innocent and it all works out . [ suspenseful music ] nicole : where is shin ? and what kind of bull have you been feeding him ? kate : [ exhales ] damn voice mail . xander , i need to talk to kristen . it 's urgent , and you need to set it up immediately , and i do n't want to hear no . this needs to be over . [ phone beeps ] [ exhales ] [ telephone rings ] hope : where 's xander ? rafe : talking to trask . john : well , they strike a deal ? rafe : well , they 're working on it , but given that xander 's a liar , the value of his testimony is obviously up for debate . john : mm . hope : thanks for helping us out . rafe : yeah . well , whoever this mystery woman is , we need to catch her before she hurts someone else . gabi : how did you get in the gate ? nicole : answer me . where is shin ? gabi : how should i know ? nicole : oh , as if you have n't been doing damage control to save your own skin . gabi : nicole , what are you talking about ? nicole : do n't play innocent with me . i was supposed to meet shin , and he never showed up , because you stopped him . gabi : you 're sounding paranoid . nicole : oh , knock it off , gabi . [ scoffs ] nicole : game over , okay ? hey . gabi : what ... nicole : i already told shin that you only married stefan to destroy him and that dimera could end up collateral damage . he knows that you 're a scheming little bitch , and he 's going to fire your ass and make me ceo . gabi : oh , i 'm the scheming bitch ? nicole : yeah . gabi : okay , you 're the one that kidnapped ted and kate and then tried to pin it on stefan . nicole : oh , that 's absurd . gabi : i do n't think so . and the cops do n't think so either . they 're actually thinking that stefan was set up , and they 're starting an investigation . i happen to know it 's about some mystery woman . oh , my god . oh , my god . you did n't just frame stefan for kidnapping . you framed him for murder . wait a minute . it was ... it was you . you killed ted laurent . [ dramatic music ] i 'm just a normal person [ light tense music ] kristen : i 'm your wife in public . anna is your wife in the bedroom . i do n't see what the problem is . tony : the problem is that anna would rather die than share me with someone else . kristen : well , it 's up to you . tony : this is not a joke . anna would not go along with this . she 's far too principled . kristen : oh , you mean obsessed . i heard she lugs around your ashes everywhere she goes droning on and on to anyone who will listen that you two are soul mates . tony : mm . we are soul mates . kristen : you know what ? on second thought , the sharing option is off the table . uh - uh , i ca n't trust anna to keep her big mouth shut . and if i want to keep my secret safe , that means that you 'll have to stay away from anna entirely . otherwise , i 'm gon na have to eliminate her . tony : you really are serious that you would murder the woman that i love . kristen : well , i do n't want to . but unless you swear to steer clear of anna , i 'm not gon na have a choice . tony : you are so evil . oh , anna . what am i gon na do ? [ inhales and exhales ] i do n't want to lose you . anna : tony may have played it cool there at the end , but believe me , i could tell , his insides were boiling with jealousy . roman : his insides . anna : yes , oh , yes , just the idea of you and me walking down the aisle together is driving him nuts . there 's no question he will divorce nicole now . roman : i repeat , what if does n't ? what if you 're wrong about that ? anna : well , we 'll just cross the bridge when we come to it . [ jazzy music ] shin : is n't it a little early for martinis ? kate : it 's never too early for martinis . shin : i could use a drink myself . kate : oh , hard time at the office ? shin : i 'm sure you 've been following the news . ever since stefan was arrested for murder , the two mrs . dimeras have been vying to run the company , but frankly , neither inspires much confidence . kate : well , you 're not going to get an argument from me about that . shin : there is another mrs . dimera i could consider . kate : i hardly think abigail is up to the job . shin : i was talking about you . nicole : i had absolutely nothing to do with ted 's murder . stefan whacked him , because he did n't want to testify against him in the kidnapping case . gabi : i do n't think so . no , no , no , no , i think you were afraid that ted would talk , yeah , that he would tell the police that you were involved in the kidnapping , so you decided to kill two birds with one bullet . you shot ted , and you were hoping that stefan would take the blame . nicole : that 's absurd . gabi : no , and i think that you were the woman that hope saw throw away that necklace , the one you took from ted 's apartment to make it look like a robbery . nicole : wow , you are really losing it . gabi : no , i 'm not , okay ? i saw the report . i 'm pretty sure that hope could pick you out of a lineup before you could even say `` life in prison . `` mm - hmm . hope : that was n't a total loss . john : nope . hopefully , they 'll cut him a deal and xander will start talking . hope : yeah , well , we both know that we ca n't rely on him . i wish we had more to go on so we could identify that mystery woman who may have killed ted and framed ... hey . ciara : actually , we have some new leads .

spencer tells nick and adam that the new mexico police are ruling sharon 's death a suicide since they read the letters that she wrote to noah and faith . the new mexico police think that sharon drove her car into the ravine on purpose , so they are closing the case . adam and nick tell spencer that sharon would never have committed suicide because she was too full of life . sam offers sharon a job in his veterinary office but she turns down his job offer and sam continues to worry because `` sheri `` keeps to herself too much . sam introduces `` sheri `` to marco duran who is the state trooper that stopped sharon on the road before the carjacking . sharon puts a hat on to hide her hair before she meets marco hoping that he wo n't recognize her , and he does n't . he asks sam if he wants him to check into `` sherry 's `` background . sam thanks marco for the offer but refuses to do so , telling marco some people just like to keep to themselves . sharon reads her face place page and discovers that people think that she committed suicide .

wyatt : this is a welcomed surprise . flo : well , i wanted to come see you . wyatt : well , i 'm glad . flo : i also kind of wanted a break from my new roommate . wyatt : i 'm sorry . your new what ?

by eric ? flo : no . by brooke . apparently , my mom and ridge shared a few moments together . they were moments that brooke was n't too happy about . sally : [ exhales ] steffy : hey . sally : hi . i , uh -- i was just trying out some new ideas . steffy : are you okay , sally ? you do n't seem like yourself . sally : i 'm -- i 'm fine . i think i 'm just ... tired . steffy : sally , you 've had some trouble for a while now . i can tell it 's interfering in your work . sally : i have n't been sleeping well lately . steffy : i hope you 're not putting too much pressure on yourself . sally : i know how important this line is to you , steffy . i really do n't wan na let you down . steffy : i appreciate that , but i care about your health more than i care about my line . i was thinking about talking to wyatt about it . sally : no . please . please do n't do that . wyatt and i have been going through a little rough patch lately . wyatt : your mom and ridge ? flo : [ sighs ] yeah . uh , she said it was only a couple of kisses . not like that makes it any better . but she swears that nothing else happened . wyatt : sure . but still , i can see why brooke would be so upset . i -- i wonder how she 's taking it . eric : i know this is a difficult time for the two of you . and you 're not able to forgive thomas and ridge . just not able to -- brooke : well , it 's not just thomas . it 's quinn . she 's supporting shauna going after ridge . and when i confronted her about it , that 's when she knocked me down to the ground . eric : i spoke to her about that . she 's embarrassed that she let it go that far . brooke : eric , she 's not embarrassed or ashamed . i do n't think you see how serious this is . please , just open your eyes and take a good look at who quinn really is . ridge : yeah , i love brooke , and we have n't given up on each other , but there 's a few things we got to work through . quinn : yeah , like the fact that she ca n't stand your son ? look , ridge , i 'm not here to tell you how to live your life , even though i think you would be so much happier with shauna . you need to get brooke to back off . tell her to stop trying to turn my husband against me . brooke : eric , i know you love quinn . eric : i do . she 's my wife . she deserves my loyalty . brooke : i do n't think she does . you know that dark , conniving side of her ? the one she wants everybody to think is gone ? it 's not . it 's still there . ridge : quinn , my father adores you . quinn : yeah , i do n't question eric 's commitment to me . we 've been in a really good place for a long time right now . but even a good relationship takes work . ridge : of course it does . quinn : yeah , but it 's almost impossible when somebody 's out there trying to sabotage it . ridge : who 's trying to sabotage your marriage ?

ridge : what ? quinn : she 's forcing me to defend my marriage . and to make everything worse , eric has this weird loyalty and respect for -- for brooke that goes beyond anything , and she 's using that to undermine me . flo : so have you heard anything from sally since you told her about us ? wyatt : no . no . she 's been swamped working on steffy 's line . flo : i assume it 's not just that , though . wyatt : no . i mean , sally has n't been herself lately . she has n't been herself for a while now . flo : breaking up with someone is never easy . ending a relationship is always gon na be painful . wyatt : i know that . it 's just that ... after the amazing day that you and i had in dad 's office , with katie being all about honesty and forgiveness and welcoming you back into the family , i felt like it was important to go straight to her and tell her about my feelings for you . for our sake . for hers . it just -- it completely backfired . sally did n't wan na hear any of it . it felt like she just could n't take on any more pain . sally : look , i know that i 've been a little off my game lately . i just -- my mind 's been on ... other things . look , i know i 'm not supposed to bring my personal life into all of it , but things have not been super awesome lately . wyatt and i are having ... some issues . steffy : i 'm sorry to hear that . sally : flo 's made a miraculous comeback in his life , and i do n't entirely know where i stand with him . steffy : but you two are still engaged . sally : yeah . i mean , but there 's still no ring , and we never set a date which ... partially is my fault . i said something that i should n't have . but it 's nothing that we can get past . i mean , we have to . i know wyatt is the man that i 'm supposed to spend the rest of my life with . steffy : well , if you believe that , then fight for it . sally : i 'm trying . i just -- i don't ... know what 's wrong . i feel like i 'm trying everything . it 's just so hard just trying to get through each and every day . i ... i just -- i get -- it 's just so -- i 'm sorry . steffy : you know , sally , it 's okay . sally : no , it 's -- it 's silly . really , everything is gon na be fine . i just -- i 'm gon na get back to work . look , this is n't my firs quinn : brooke wants everything to be her way . and you know what 's scary ? she usually gets it . it 's like you 're all brainwashed or something , and now she 's trying to poison eric 's mind against me . ridge : just take a step back . please . brooke is going through a lot right now , and not just because what 's going on with me and her but what 's going on with hope . and she does n't deal with stress very well . quinn : that 's because she projects it on everyone else . ridge : that 's not what it is . it 's deeper than that . she 's had a share of demons , and she -- she had a problem with drinking before . it does n't make her mean . does n't make her evil or vindictive . does n't mean she wants to ruin your marriage . quinn : the hell she doesn't . she demanded that eric leave me . she told him that i 'm dangerous . i mean it , ridge . i am not gon na put up with her meddling anymore . you need to talk to her . she does n't know who she 's dealing with , and she does not wan na make an enemy out of me . eric : brooke , i 'm sorry . i hate that this battle is going on between you and quinn . and i really hate that it became physical . i know my wife . now , i know she did terrible things in the past , but she 's changed . she 's not the same person she was . brooke : yes , she is , eric . that 's what you 're not getting . eric : you wanted shauna off the property , and quinn granted your wish . is n't that enough ? does n't that count for something ? brooke : she did that for you . eric : no , she did that for you because that 's what you wanted . now , ca n't you just -- ca n't you just try to get along ? brooke : why ?

<s>[INST] ridge : quinn . if you 're here about the fashion showdown , i 'm not sure i got an answer for you , which -- quinn : i am not here to talk about work . i wan na talk about your precious logan . eric : i spoke to quinn . brooke : and ? eric : she knows how much you and ridge mean to me and how important it is for me that your marriage be supported . brooke : i bet she was n't so thrilled to hear that . eric : no . she 's not very happy about that altercation that happened between you two the other day either . brooke : oh , how do you think i feel , eric ? eric : well , the good news is that shauna 's gone . she moved out of the guesthouse . brooke : [ exhales ] really ? i mean , that 's -- that 's amazing . thank you . thank you so much . eric : well , i agreed with you that it 's absolutely inappropriate for her to be staying there , certainly not while ridge is here in the house . brooke : well , yeah , it was . i mean , i still ca n't believe she was actually kissing my husband . eric : yeah . brooke : i really do appreciate your support . you know that , do n't you ? wyatt : this is a welcomed surprise . flo : well , i wanted to come see you . wyatt : well , i 'm glad . flo : i also kind of wanted a break from my new roommate . wyatt : i 'm sorry . your new what ? flo : my new roommate . wyatt : i did n't know you were looking for one . flo : oh , i wasn't . but when a beautiful , intelligent , funny blonde showed up on my doorstep with a bunch of boxes , i could n't turn her away . wyatt : your mom . flo : mm - hmm . wyatt : got it . okay . that follows . flo : yeah , she was asked to leave the forrester estate . wyatt : what ? by eric ? flo : no . by brooke . apparently , my mom and ridge shared a few moments together . they were moments that brooke was n't too happy about . sally : [ exhales ] steffy : hey . sally : hi . i , uh -- i was just trying out some new ideas . steffy : are you okay , sally ? you do n't seem like yourself . sally : i 'm -- i 'm fine . i think i 'm just ... tired . steffy : sally , you 've had some trouble for a while now . i can tell it 's interfering in your work . sally : i have n't been sleeping well lately . steffy : i hope you 're not putting too much pressure on yourself . sally : i know how important this line is to you , steffy . i really do n't wan na let you down . steffy : i appreciate that , but i care about your health more than i care about my line . i was thinking about talking to wyatt about it . sally : no . please . please do n't do that . wyatt and i have been going through a little rough patch lately . wyatt : your mom and ridge ? flo : [ sighs ] yeah . uh , she said it was only a couple of kisses . not like that makes it any better . but she swears that nothing else happened . wyatt : sure . but still , i can see why brooke would be so upset . i -- i wonder how she 's taking it . eric : i know this is a difficult time for the two of you . and you 're not able to forgive thomas and ridge . just not able to -- brooke : well , it 's not just thomas . it 's quinn . she 's supporting shauna going after ridge . and when i confronted her about it , that 's when she knocked me down to the ground . eric : i spoke to her about that . she 's embarrassed that she let it go that far . brooke : eric , she 's not embarrassed or ashamed . i do n't think you see how serious this is . please , just open your eyes and take a good look at who quinn really is . ridge : yeah , i love brooke , and we have n't given up on each other , but there 's a few things we got to work through . quinn : yeah , like the fact that she ca n't stand your son ? look , ridge , i 'm not here to tell you how to live your life , even though i think you would be so much happier with shauna . you need to get brooke to back off . tell her to stop trying to turn my husband against me . brooke : eric , i know you love quinn . eric : i do . she 's my wife . she deserves my loyalty . brooke : i do n't think she does . you know that dark , conniving side of her ? the one she wants everybody to think is gone ? it 's not . it 's still there . ridge : quinn , my father adores you . quinn : yeah , i do n't question eric 's commitment to me . we 've been in a really good place for a long time right now . but even a good relationship takes work . ridge : of course it does . quinn : yeah , but it 's almost impossible when somebody 's out there trying to sabotage it . ridge : who 's trying to sabotage your marriage ? quinn : please do n't pretend like you do n't know who i 'm talking about . ridge : who ? brooke ? quinn : yes . eric 's bff -- brooke . do you know that she blames me for your and shauna 's indiscretion ? she says that i orchestrated the whole thing . why did you even have to tell her in the first place ? did n't you guys sign divorce papers ? ridge : it 's complicated . quinn : what 's complicated ? brooke is on the warpath now , and i 'm her number- one target , and she 's thrown everything into chaos . do you know that she forced eric and me to throw my best friend out of the guesthouse ? ridge : what ? quinn : she 's forcing me to defend my marriage . and to make everything worse , eric has this weird loyalty and respect for -- for brooke that goes beyond anything , and she 's using that to undermine me . flo : so have you heard anything from sally since you told her about us ? wyatt : no . no . she 's been swamped working on steffy 's line . flo : i assume it 's not just that , though . wyatt : no . i mean , sally has n't been herself lately . she has n't been herself for a while now . flo : breaking up with someone is never easy . ending a relationship is always gon na be painful . wyatt : i know that . it 's just that ... after the amazing day that you and i had in dad 's office , with katie being all about honesty and forgiveness and welcoming you back into the family , i felt like it was important to go straight to her and tell her about my feelings for you . for our sake . for hers . it just -- it completely backfired . sally did n't wan na hear any of it . it felt like she just could n't take on any more pain . sally : look , i know that i 've been a little off my game lately . i just -- my mind 's been on ... other things . look , i know i 'm not supposed to bring my personal life into all of it , but things have not been super awesome lately . wyatt and i are having ... some issues . steffy : i 'm sorry to hear that . sally : flo 's made a miraculous comeback in his life , and i do n't entirely know where i stand with him . steffy : but you two are still engaged . sally : yeah . i mean , but there 's still no ring , and we never set a date which ... partially is my fault . i said something that i should n't have . but it 's nothing that we can get past . i mean , we have to . i know wyatt is the man that i 'm supposed to spend the rest of my life with . steffy : well , if you believe that , then fight for it . sally : i 'm trying . i just -- i don't ... know what 's wrong . i feel like i 'm trying everything . it 's just so hard just trying to get through each and every day . i ... i just -- i get -- it 's just so -- i 'm sorry . steffy : you know , sally , it 's okay . sally : no , it 's -- it 's silly . really , everything is gon na be fine . i just -- i 'm gon na get back to work . look , this is n't my firs quinn : brooke wants everything to be her way . and you know what 's scary ? she usually gets it . it 's like you 're all brainwashed or something , and now she 's trying to poison eric 's mind against me . ridge : just take a step back . please . brooke is going through a lot right now , and not just because what 's going on with me and her but what 's going on with hope . and she does n't deal with stress very well . quinn : that 's because she projects it on everyone else . ridge : that 's not what it is . it 's deeper than that . she 's had a share of demons , and she -- she had a problem with drinking before . it does n't make her mean . does n't make her evil or vindictive . does n't mean she wants to ruin your marriage . quinn : the hell she doesn't . she demanded that eric leave me . she told him that i 'm dangerous . i mean it , ridge . i am not gon na put up with her meddling anymore . you need to talk to her . she does n't know who she 's dealing with , and she does not wan na make an enemy out of me . eric : brooke , i 'm sorry . i hate that this battle is going on between you and quinn . and i really hate that it became physical . i know my wife . now , i know she did terrible things in the past , but she 's changed . she 's not the same person she was . brooke : yes , she is , eric . that 's what you 're not getting . eric : you wanted shauna off the property , and quinn granted your wish . is n't that enough ? does n't that count for something ? brooke : she did that for you . eric : no , she did that for you because that 's what you wanted . now , ca n't you just -- ca n't you just try to get along ? brooke : why ? why would i do that ? i mean , she does n't give a damn about me or my family . why should i gave a damn about her ? eric : because i 'm ask -- because i 'm asking you to . brooke : i 'm sorry , eric . i am . i ... no . no . i can't . i can not change my opinion about quinn . eric : i know . i have a meeting . i have to go . brooke : okay . i 'm gon na stay and do a couple of work emails . then i 'll leave right after that . okay ?

'cause believe me , she 's on the brink . victor : are you expecting congratulations for your successful detective work in louisiana ? nick : [ scoffs ] do you have any idea what you 've done to me , mom , and vick ? doing everything we can to -- to keep your role in this tragedy from being discovered . victor : that was your choice . nick : one you put on us . to protect the family . 'cause you did n't want your secret to get out . well , dad , well , i think you 're safe , because chloe 's dead , so it never will . but you set this whole thing in motion . you have to accept some responsibility for adam 's death , and now for chloe 's . victor : you damn well know that i 've accepted responsibility for adam 's death . nick : [ scoffs ] so what do you expect ? you want us to just forgive you ? to forget until it happens again ? victor : if , as you claim , you stand by this family , then you would help me end hostilities , for your mother 's sake . nick : tell me this is n't what it looks like . i mean , mom has n't taken you back into her life , has she ? victor : no , she has not . nikki : ohhh . [ sighs ] [ piano music playing ] victor : i told you , you are nothing without me . nikki : [ gasps ] [ sighs ] nick : you probably think we 're all just gon na get worn down , you know , and everything 's gon na go back to the way it was before . victor : son , i have moved heaven and earth to provide for my family . i 've gone to the ends of the world to provide for my family , made some questionable deals . now , the least i can expect is that my family will back me up , that you will help me . nick : yeah , 'cause it was so great then . that 's 'cause mom let every awful thing you did slide , no matter what it cost her . so , what , do you expect me to help you do that to her again ? victor : i do n't expect you to do a damn thing except to help me heal the family . nick : why would you force her into that ? victor : i 'm not forcing her to do a damn thing . i 'm allowing her to play music , which she loves doing , and helps her deal with m.s . nick : you must have pressured her . victor : i did not pressure her , son . she loves playing music . which was evident when she performed at your club . nick : dad , that 's two different things . that was mom accompanying someone on an open - mike night . there was n't any pressure in that . victor : i promise you , when your mother has finished performing at that fundraiser , there 'll be cheers and applause , and she will realize that i 'm the only one who can give her what she needs . nick : you know , the sad thing is you may be right . your manipulations could work . until you do something else to hurt mom , and then she 's gon na feel betrayed all over again . victor : if you continue to criticize me , and openly despise me , then i do n't need you . nikki : [ sighs ] [ door opens ] gloria : ah ! nikki ! what a nice surprise . nikki : oh , gloria . for heaven 's sake . um , actually , i - i was just getting ready to leave . [ groans , inhales sharply ] gloria : nikki ? you okay ? nikki : oh , yeah . i 'm just ... a little tight . i 've been overdoing it , i guess . i 'm sore . gloria : yeah . heard all about the concert coming up . jack told me . you know , he is quite your personal cheerleader . nikki : jack and i are very good friends . without benefits . gloria : is that a dig i detect ? nikki : no . i did n't mean it that way . it 's just that sometimes relationships like that , it 's hard to stay attractive . gloria : well , what i feel for jack is protective . nikki : sometimes he can be his own worst enemy . gloria : yeah , and he 's been acting really strange lately . now that his mother 's come back to town . nikki : in what way ? gloria : he suggested that i seduce his mother 's companion , graham . nikki : [ laughing ] are you kidding ? [ laughing ] gloria : oh , well , i 'm glad somebody finds this amusing . nikki : oh , i 'm sorry ! i should n't laugh . i 'm very sorry . it 's just ... wow . this is obvious that , uh , dina 's influence is really pushing jack 's buttons . when his mother left , he was very young . and even now , after all these years , i think he is still confused about his adult responsibilities to her , for her . gloria : well , i 'm just afraid he wants something that that woman just ca n't give him . nikki : well , unfortunately , some damage can never be undone . graham : you intended to sign the will before we left paris . dina : well , the trip came up so quickly . but no worries , darling . i 'll get to it . graham : you know , i wish i had known then what awaited us here . dina : are you sorry that you came with me ? graham : absolutely not . i would n't have wanted you to come alone . i made a promise to you . i intend to keep it . dina : then what 's bothering you ? graham : jack and ashley . although , ashley has turned out to be somewhat pleasant . but your son , who claims to want to reconnect with you , seems intent on rehashing old grievances , and trying to make you feel guilty . dina : well , i know he 's been rude to you . graham : openly hostile . dina : i 'm sorry . graham : it 's okay . i can deal with it . i just hate seeing how it affects you . dina : jack just does n't understand . graham : no . he does n't . ashley : boy , oh , boy . you are all over the place . jack : why ? because i disagree with victor ? ashley : no . i mean , forget victor . but you 're letting your personal feelings cloud your judgment . that 's what you do . jack : now you 're exaggerating . ashley : did n't you just try to make me seduce graham so that i could drive a wedge between dina and him ? jack : i never used the word `` seduce . `` ashley : you were trying to pimp out your sister , and we both know it . jack : okay , it was n't my finest hour . ashley : ya think ? jack : makes me wish i had n't said anything to gloria . ashley : you asked gloria , too ? ! jack : i may have mentioned something . ashley : and you 're accusing victor of being oblivious to other people 's feelings ? jack : have n't you noticed that things are a little off with victor and his family ? ashley : well , jack , maybe it has to do with adam 's murder . they could be trying to grapple with the after effects . jack : no , no , no . if victor were mourning adam 's death , nikki would feel compassion for him instead of ... ashley : instead of what ? well , victor either did something bad or he did n't . jack : something happened . i do n't know what it was , but it has put a strain on nikki and their marriage . ashley : oh , and you want to take advantage of that and try to use it against him . jack : no ! but i am not going to let him hurt her again . i 'm not . ashley : you might be shocked to learn that victor actually showed some compassion regarding the dina situation . jack : wait , wait , wait . what did you tell him ? ashley : that we have some suspicions about graham . jack : and ? ashley : he agrees . he think that graham 's motives are even more concerning , because he knows that dina is not easily manipulated . jack : it 's a good thing you have ravi investigating him . any updates there ? ashley : just confirmed that graham was indeed born and raised in the midwest . and then he moved to hollywood to pursue a dream . jack : he 's an actor ? ashley : [ laughs ] yeah . not a very successful one , however . some extra work , a few bit parts . that was almost 20 years ago . jack : and now he 's using his thespian skills to con our mother . but , no , dina said that he 'd only been part of her life for the last year or so . what about the years in between ? ashley : did n't find out that much . but his online profile at mergeron says that he is the executive vice president of `` corporate strategy . `` what the hell is that ? jack : the only thing he 's strategizing is how to separate dina from her money . ashley : well , jackie , what is it you think we can do ? jack : michael says unless we can get her power of attorney , our hands are tied . ashley : so i 'm thinking maybe we should back off . jack : back o -- no , we 're not backing off . ashley : i 've had a change of heart . i think when i sat down with graham , he was actually being sincere . jack : ashley , he 's an actor ! the way he fawns all over mother . ashley : whatever . they 're consenting adults . jack : what , so you 're fine now ? you trust this guy ? ashley : i did n't say i trusted him . i do n't even necessarily like him . but our mother does . and he treats her like she 's the most important thing in his life , which evidently she is . and our mother adores him . is n't what 's important , that she 's happy ? it 's her life . her choice . graham : i worry that the longer we stay here , the more your children will try to convince you to move in with them . and we both know where that will lead . they wo n't let you live your life the way you want . dina : well , how can they stop me ? graham : they can attempt to take away your power by claiming all sorts of things . dina : oh , nonsense . i wo n't let that happen . graham : dina , i know you still carry a lot of guilt from abandoning your family . but trust me , jack and ashley would have no qualms about abandoning you . they 're not invested in your well - being . i am . dina : [ sighs ] print those documents for me to sign , will you ? including my will . [ sighs ] and , you know , you 're right . i should have signed it before we left europe . victor : i 'm through trying to win you over , son . nick : i did n't ask you to . victor : however , i ask you to bring faith to your mother 's concert , okay ? nick : faith wo n't be there . victor : what do you mean she wo n't be there ? nick : well , she 's gone away to sleep - away camp . she 'll be gone for about a month . victor : i did n't know about that . nick : well , it does n't really concern you . victor : is this your way of trying to keep her away from me ? nick : no . faith actually wanted to go to camp . victor : so you let her leave without saying goodbye ? nick : look , it 's not like we did n't try , you know . we were running late , and we could n't find you . faith did ask me to tell you she 's gon na miss you . victor : son , what is this all about , really ? i do n't remember you ever liking adam . nick : look , he did a lot of things i did n't like . you know , he was complicated . felt like i was just beginning to understand him . but then he died , and we both know why that happened . victor : do i need to remind you that you could n't stand your brother ? your outrage is nothing but hypocrisy ! [ door closes ] scott : sorry to interrupt . victor . nick . victor : it 's all right , scott . scott : the office said you were working from home . victor : i 'm glad you made it . scott : yeah , well , i try . victor : please sit down . scott : got some , uh , time - sensitive agreements to expedite regarding hashtag . nick : what 's hashtag ? victor : it 's a digital - media company which i purchased , and scott will run it . besides running that company , he also helped put together this fundraising concert . nick : well , that 's a 180 from when you first came back to town . you know , you seemed to have really embraced the newman enterprises lifestyle . scott : you know , at that point , i did n't expect to be sticking around genoa city for long , but now i have a reason to . your father 's given me a great opportunity . paragraph five . [ clears throat ] they seem to be , uh -- they seem to be over - reaching . and then again on paragraph se -- victor : whoa , whoa , whoa . one second . one second . one second . one second . scott : sure . that 's just a question of wording . just change it , okay ? what else ? jack : i 'm just saying maybe you think dina deserves to be screwed over by this guy . ashley : that 's a disgusting thing to say , jack . jack : maybe she has it coming after what she did to our family . ashley : you know what , if that was the case , then i would n't have asked ravi to do an extensive internet search on graham , and i would n't have sat down with graham to find out who he really is and what he wants with our mother . jack : then you forgive dina . ashley : i did n't say i forgave her , either . you know , i 'm a fairly decent person , and i do n't want to see her get hurt . but guess what ? she seems happy . jack : okay . okay , i get it . ashley : and maybe you need to stop micromanaging her life , because it 's actually none of your business . jack : what , i 'm not allowed to care ? i 'm not allowed to want what 's best for her ? ashley : of course you can . but ultimately it 's her choice how she lives her life , and with whom . jack : [ sighs ] ashley : and guess what ? if you do n't start accepting the fact that graham is an important part of her life , and stop trying to cause trouble between the two of them , she 's gon na end up resenting you . and she 's here now . you have a real shot at having a relationship with her . so if she wants to pay for his lavish lifestyle , which she can well afford , then let her . there 's nothing we can do . and i know you do n't want to lose her again . jack : i do want time with her . it 's why i invited her to stay out at the house . she 's family . why ca n't that mean something more ? ashley : aww . jackie . just give it some time . [ cell phone rings ] ashley : hm . ashley abbott . yeah . okay . um ... i can be there right now . okay , thanks . bye . jack : who was there ? ashley : it was dina . jack : what does she want ? ashley : i do n't know . i 'll tell you when i find out . nikki : i have n't worked out in a while . you know how that goes . gloria : which is why i swear by yoga . never felt so limber . [ groans ] it 's all about the chakras , nikki . you open up those suckers , it 'll change your life . nikki : i 'll keep that in mind . okay , well ... oh ! oh . good to see you . [ groans ] see you later . i 'm fine . thank you . [ cell phone rings ] jack : hey . thanks for calling me back . how are you ? nikki : jack , i really need you . please come . scott : it may not be the short route to a quick profit , but it could win us the long game if we just focus on stories and not clickbait . you know , tell real investigative reporting , from world events to pop culture . victor : yeah . uh , just prepare a formal presentation . i 'll submit it to the marketing department . okay ? i was expecting more resistance . uh , that you might think it was not commercial enough . victor : that is the responsibility of the marketing department to decide . all right ? scott : you know , i ... [ sighs ] i hope your son did n't leave on account of me . victor : my son and i do n't have the best of relations right now . in fact , i 'd rather talk to my two daughters . they love business . scott : you know , nick 's running a successful business with the underground . i can relate to his desire to do his own thing . victor : yeah . well , he 's as stubborn as you are , scott . i 'm gon na head over to the chancellor pavilion , see how that venue 's coming along for the concert . you see yourself out , okay ? scott : thank you , victor . sharon : okay . spill it . what 's up ? nick : had an unexpected run - in with my dad . i thought he was gon na be at the office . sharon : [ scoffs ] are things really that bad between you two ? nick : i 'm just -- i 'm over it . i 'm over him always trying to control everyone and everything . sharon : well , that 's nothing new , nick . nick : dad told me he 's expecting faith to be at mom 's concert . sharon : mm . that 's gon na be a little difficult to do . nick : yeah . he was pretty annoyed that i said she was n't gon na be there . sharon : does n't he know that she went off to summer camp ? nick : i had n't told him . sharon : neither had i. i guess i just assumed nikki would . nick : well , mom 's dealing with her own stuff . sharon : yeah . she 's getting ready for her performance . nick : [ sighs ] yeah . sharon : i tried to talk her out of it . i tried to talk her into canceling , but she 's determined to get on the stage that night , so this must be something she wants to do . nick : did she say anything else ? sharon : um ... just ... that she 's a little worried about being the poster child for living with m.s . nick : how did she seem ? sharon : um ... i think a little worried that she would n't live up to your father 's expectations . nick : [ sighs ] that is the last thing she needs to be worrying about . sharon : you know , i tried to convince her that no one 's gon na care if her performance is n't perfect , but i do n't think she took much comfort in that . [ knock on door ] scott : i got to grab my computer before i go to the , uh -- oh . hi . again . so , i guess this is where you went . one final signature . dina : mm . the will ? correct . [ stamp clicks ] anything else you need notarized ? graham : no . that 's all . thank you . okay . graham : ashley . ashley : i guess my mother did n't tell you that she called me . ashley : what 's all this ? graham : uh , those documents are related to dina 's finances in the wake of the mergeron sale . dina : yes , and we finally executed them . graham : you arrived at the perfect time , ashley . i 'll leave you two to talk while i send these off to our attorney . and if you need anything , i 'll be down in the spa . dina : thank you so much . i appreciate it . graham : of course . my pleasure . you know that . ashley : well , he seems like he 's in a particularly good mood , does n't he ? dina : [ chuckles ] now you know why i like having him around . ashley : i 'm glad you called me . i wanted to talk to you about graham . dina : what about him ? ashley : well , jack is a little ... disappointed . he 's having a hard time dealing with what appears to be that graham has a monopoly on your life . dina : oh , that 's just absurd . ashley : maybe . but when you decided to stay in town longer , jack was hoping that you 'd move into the house and spend time with him . dina : just him ? ashley : i would come there sometimes . dina : [ chuckles ] therein lies the problem . you know i love spending time with jack . but seriously , ashley , would you want me under the same roof ? hm ? ashley : well , it 's a very big roof . dina : [ chuckles ] ashley : it even has a guesthouse , so we would n't have to share a bathroom . dina : not that we ever did . do you ever regret that ? not having those kind of mother - daughter moments ? dina : well , i 'm very glad that you and abby have had them , and i really admire your closeness with your daughter . ashley : that does n't really answer my question . dina : you 're a good mother , ashley . a wonderful mother . everything that i was n't to you . nick : when you showed up at my dad 's place , i just assumed your meeting with him was really important , and that 's why you drove all the way out here . but i guess you were already in the neighborhood . sharon : um ... nick and i were just talking about the concert . nick : which apparently you had a hand in putting together . scott : victor asked me to find a venue , make some arrangements . nick : well , then , could you give me some insight as to what my dad is thinking or doing ? scott : the event is to celebrate the dedication of the new research center in nikki 's name . nick : i think it 's more like a celebration of victor newman 's massive donation to the medical school . scott : yeah , well , there 's that , too . but from what victor told me , there was a time when nikki 's disease prevented her from playing the piano . so he 's using this as a way to celebrate her , uh , moving forward with that . and it 's going to be a compelling example for those who suffer from the disease . but it 's your family . i do n't want to step on your toes or get in your territory or anything like that . nick : hey , no . you 're not . scott : great . i 'll , uh , see you later ? sharon : okay . nick : [ scoffs , laughs ] jack : hey . nikki : oh , jack ! thank you for rushing over . jack : well , thank you for calling me . what 's wrong ? nikki : [ sighs ] well , you were on my mind a lot after i ran into gloria at the sauna . jack : bet that was relaxing . nikki : oh , she 's all right . in small doses . but she is genuinely concerned about you . jack : please tell me that is not why you needed to see me . nikki : no , i -- [ groans ] jack : nikki , look what you 're doing to yourself . nikki : it 's just a rough day , that 's all . jack : because you insist on going through with this concert . nikki : yes , i do . and you 're the only one i can talk to about it . jack : okay , i 'm here . talk to me . nikki : i - i 'm terrified . i mean , i - i stay at home every minute , and i practice and i play and i work and i -- jack : the stress is too much , nikki . nick : i - i know . i realized that i was putting myself under too much pressure , and i - i did n't really need to do that , so i had a massage , i went to the spa . just trying to find some relief . jack : okay , spas are great . did you see your doctor ? nikki : yes , of course i saw my doctor , jack . she gave me steroids for the swelling and for the pain . oh , my god . the pain is so intense . and what she gave me is helping , but i - i just wish that i could get something that would work more long - term . jack : how about postponing this concert ? nikki : i can not do that . jack : nikki -- nikki : look , you know , to be realistic about this , it 's not carnegie hall . i mean , it 's just a couple of tunes at a fundraiser . it 's nothing . jack : you joke all you want . i know what this is doing to you . victor may not see it or care , but i do . ashley : it 's kind of surprising , hearing you compliment my parenting skills . dina : well , the proof is in abby . you know , i adore her . in fact , i see quite a bit of myself in her . i hope that does n't bother you , dear . ashley : i 'm not sure how that makes me feel . but i actually have more , um , pressing concerns where you 're involved . dina : well , you did mention jack 's worry about graham . and are you concerned , as well ? ashley : a little bit . dina : well , that 's just because you keep jumping to very unflattering conclusions . that 's quite prevalent when a younger man meets an older woman of means . ashley : i 'm trying very hard not to do that . dina : well , it 's so easy to assume that he 's trying to take advantage , that he 's trying to steal my fortune . no worries , ashley . graham is not about to steal . ashley : why , is he the heir to some other massive fortune ? dina : [ chuckles ] not quite , dear . but he is extremely well - rewarded for his service and his loyalty , and he has a life that most people ca n't even imagine . but more importantly , he is my good friend , and he has my best interests at heart . he looks out for me . ashley : and i 'm sure you do n't want to be alone . dina : oh , well , it 's much more than that . ashley : what if he meets somebody and leaves you ? dina : oh , come on . he wo n't . [ laughs ] ashley : how do you know that ? dina : because graham and i have a deal . graham : hello . gloria , right ? graham : [ sighs ] you remember . graham : of course . graham . gloria : i remember . graham : uh , you 're just leaving , or ... ? gloria : i was thinking about making more steam . do you mind ? nick : so , you and scott ... that was fast . sharon : no . not really . we have been spending a lot of time together . he 's a great guy . nick : yeah , dad seems to think so , too . says he 's real smart and talented . sharon : yeah , victor made him the head of his new digital - media company . nick : well , looks like he has a reason to stick around now . i just hope he realizes he 's being used . sharon : [ scoffs ] nick , scott is a world - class journalist . he puts his heart and his soul into all of his work . victor is lucky to have him . nick : i just -- i do n't get it . i mean , he spends millions of dollars to bring this guy home , and throws him into a new career , gives him a position that 's ... sharon : that 's usually reserved for family members ? except none of the newman children want to work with victor right now , except for abby . so why do n't you tell me what 's going on ? nick : i do n't know what you 're talking about . sharon : yeah , you think you 're fooling everyone with this happy - family act , but , nick ... i can see right through you . i can see right through nikki . nick : there 's nothing , sharon . sharon : you do n't want anything to do with victor right now . neither does nikki . you think you 're hiding it , but it 's plainly obvious to anyone who knows the players . and , nick , you do n't have to pretend with me . you can be honest . what 's going on with the newmans ? why are you all putting on this big act ? jack : all victor wants is to bask in the glory of your performance , and turn the entire event about him . do n't play into that . walk away from the man . leave him standing there with nothing . let him see what that feels like . you said this was about proving something to him . nick : no , to me . i 'm sure he feels so very clever , springing this on me the way he did . and he only did it to prove that he still has the power to make big things happen and orchestrate our lives . and i have to tell you , jack , it galls the hell out of me . jack : then why do it ? nikki : because i am not going to let him take my confidence away from me . i ca n't ever let him do that again . and no matter what happens between the two of us , i am not going to lose myself . so , to me , this concert is a way of trying to find a true part of me again . ow ! [ inhales sharply ] jack : nikki ? nikki : [ groans ] oh , god , jack , i am so sorry . i should n't have had you come here . i got to go . i have to go home . jack : oh , here ... nikki : i 'm okay . [ groans ] jack : whatever i can do . nikki : i know . you 've already done it by being such a good friend . thank you . ow ! [ sniffles ] jack : you all right ? nikki : i 'll be fine . jack : yeah ? nikki : yeah , yeah , yeah . yeah , uh , i - i -- i 'm fine . do n't worry . heh . i 'll see you later . victor : what in hell do you think you 're doing with my wife ? [ next_on ] mariah : are you sure you want to sign your life away to this guy ? nick : there 's something that i need to tell you . i 'm just worried that it might change the way you feel about us . cane : i am warning you to stay out of this , 'cause i will not let you destroy lily and my family .
sharon and scott spent a romantic morning at her home . scott asked why she lived on her ex - in law 's property . sharon thought the ranch was good for her and faith . scott needed to visit victor , but he was hesitant to go to the main house because he was n't sure sharon was ready for the newmans would know he spent the night . sharon did n't think victor would figure it out . jack was concerned about nikki , so he left a message on her voicemail . jack and ashley discussed nikki and victor 's marriage . ashley was sure that victor loved nikki , but jack thought that victor was ignoring her well - being . jack vowed to protect nikki from victor . ashley told jack that ravi discovered that graham had a failed acting career , but he was n't able to find out much else about his past . ashley noted that graham made dina happy . ashley urged jack to accept dina 's decision to be with graham or risk alienating their mother . jack expressed a desire to have a closer connection to dina . ashley comforted him and advised him to be patient . nikki visited a sauna , but she was unable to relax because she imagined victor making belittling comments about her . gloria and nikki discussed the effect dina 's return had on jack . nikki theorized that jack was n't sure how to navigate an adult relationship with his mother . gloria was concerned that dina was incapable of giving jack what he needed . nikki was overcome by severe pain , and she called jack and asked him to meet her . nick accused victor of setting adam and chloe 's death in motion . victor thought nick should work to help mend victor 's rift with the family . victor assumed that nikki would enjoy performing at the concert and that she 'd be grateful to victor for arranging it . nick admitted victor 's plan might work , but he warned him that the reconciliation would fall apart when victor hurt nikki again . victor was upset when he learned that nick sent faith away to camp for a month and that victor had n't had a chance to say goodbye . victor reminded nick that he 'd despised his brother , adam . nick stated that adam died , just as nick was beginning to understand him . nick blamed victor , and victor accused nick of being a hypocrite . nick learned that victor bought a media outlet and put scott in charge . scott told victor that he wanted hashtag to focus on real news and not click - bait .

[ sighs ] sharon : what is that ? scott : it 's an e - mail about , uh , transferring over the ownership of the company . i got to run this by victor . sharon : oh . well , are you going into the office ? scott : [ sighs ] he 's actually working at home today . sharon : well , that 's lucky for you , because we live on the same property . scott : if i walk over there , he 's gon na put it together where i spent the night . are you ready to get that kind of , uh , scrutiny ? sharon : you know what , i think victor 's ego is so big , he 's gon na assume that you drove all the way out here just to see him . scott : you make a good point . sharon : and you have a question . scott : i 'm just curious about why you still are in such close proximity to your former in - laws . sharon : well , it 's because it 's good for faith . you know , this is her home . she needs to be near her father , near nick , near her grandparents . scott : and ... ? sharon : and , you know , it 's good for me , too . victor and nikki , they do n't seem to have any problems with it . i mean , so far they 've -- they 've allowed me to be here . scott : well , i 'll do my best not to destroy any of that goodwill . sharon : that 's kind of assuming that you 're going to be spending a lot more nights here . do n't you think that 's presumptuous ? scott : i prefer to think of myself as an optimist . sharon : [ laughs ] jack : yes , i have been checking in on nikki periodically . ashley : why the sudden interest in your ex ? jack : because i 'm worried about her . she 's practicing nonstop for this upcoming charity event . they are dedicating a wing of the hospital that victor has named for nikki . ashley : i am aware of the concert . abby sold me some tickets . but that does n't explain your fascination with nikki . jack : i am looking out for her because her husband is not . he does n't have a clue what 's going on with her . to do that , he 'd have to give a damn . ashley : well , whatever you say about victor , i know that he loves nikki deeply . jack : believe me , this travesty he is forcing her into is about anything but love . no , this is about him putting on a show so that he comes off the hero , the great philanthropist and the wonderful husband . he has n't given any thought to what this is doing to nikki . ashley : well , why did n't she just say no ? jack : victor made that virtually impossible . ashley : how so ? jack : by announcing his grand plan in front of the dean of the medical school . with nikki there . and it 's the first she heard of it . then he starts waxing philanthropic about how she 'll be an inspiration -- they 'll raise so much money , that her performance will give hope to so many m.s . patients . and she ca n't let go of that . or wo n't . she 's completely obsessed and completely stressed . ashley : well , what do you think you 're gon na do about it , jack ? jack : i can offer her a shoulder to lean on . since her husband is emotionally mia . keep her going from going overboard , keep her from taking that first drink . 'cause believe me , she 's on the brink . victor : are you expecting congratulations for your successful detective work in louisiana ? nick : [ scoffs ] do you have any idea what you 've done to me , mom , and vick ? doing everything we can to -- to keep your role in this tragedy from being discovered . victor : that was your choice . nick : one you put on us . to protect the family . 'cause you did n't want your secret to get out . well , dad , well , i think you 're safe , because chloe 's dead , so it never will . but you set this whole thing in motion . you have to accept some responsibility for adam 's death , and now for chloe 's . victor : you damn well know that i 've accepted responsibility for adam 's death . nick : [ scoffs ] so what do you expect ? you want us to just forgive you ? to forget until it happens again ? victor : if , as you claim , you stand by this family , then you would help me end hostilities , for your mother 's sake . nick : tell me this is n't what it looks like . i mean , mom has n't taken you back into her life , has she ? victor : no , she has not . nikki : ohhh . [ sighs ] [ piano music playing ] victor : i told you , you are nothing without me . nikki : [ gasps ] [ sighs ] nick : you probably think we 're all just gon na get worn down , you know , and everything 's gon na go back to the way it was before . victor : son , i have moved heaven and earth to provide for my family . i 've gone to the ends of the world to provide for my family , made some questionable deals . now , the least i can expect is that my family will back me up , that you will help me . nick : yeah , 'cause it was so great then . that 's 'cause mom let every awful thing you did slide , no matter what it cost her . so , what , do you expect me to help you do that to her again ? victor : i do n't expect you to do a damn thing except to help me heal the family . nick : why would you force her into that ? victor : i 'm not forcing her to do a damn thing . i 'm allowing her to play music , which she loves doing , and helps her deal with m.s . nick : you must have pressured her . victor : i did not pressure her , son . she loves playing music . which was evident when she performed at your club . nick : dad , that 's two different things . that was mom accompanying someone on an open - mike night . there was n't any pressure in that . victor : i promise you , when your mother has finished performing at that fundraiser , there 'll be cheers and applause , and she will realize that i 'm the only one who can give her what she needs . nick : you know , the sad thing is you may be right . your manipulations could work . until you do something else to hurt mom , and then she 's gon na feel betrayed all over again . victor : if you continue to criticize me , and openly despise me , then i do n't need you . nikki : [ sighs ] [ door opens ] gloria : ah ! nikki ! what a nice surprise . nikki : oh , gloria . for heaven 's sake . um , actually , i - i was just getting ready to leave . [ groans , inhales sharply ] gloria : nikki ? you okay ? nikki : oh , yeah . i 'm just ... a little tight . i 've been overdoing it , i guess . i 'm sore . gloria : yeah . heard all about the concert coming up . jack told me . you know , he is quite your personal cheerleader . nikki : jack and i are very good friends . without benefits . gloria : is that a dig i detect ? nikki : no . i did n't mean it that way . it 's just that sometimes relationships like that , it 's hard to stay attractive . gloria : well , what i feel for jack is protective . nikki : sometimes he can be his own worst enemy . gloria : yeah , and he 's been acting really strange lately . now that his mother 's come back to town . nikki : in what way ? gloria : he suggested that i seduce his mother 's companion , graham . nikki : [ laughing ] are you kidding ? [ laughing ] gloria : oh , well , i 'm glad somebody finds this amusing . nikki : oh , i 'm sorry ! i should n't laugh . i 'm very sorry . it 's just ... wow . this is obvious that , uh , dina 's influence is really pushing jack 's buttons . when his mother left , he was very young . and even now , after all these years , i think he is still confused about his adult responsibilities to her , for her . gloria : well , i 'm just afraid he wants something that that woman just ca n't give him . nikki : well , unfortunately , some damage can never be undone . graham : you intended to sign the will before we left paris . dina : well , the trip came up so quickly . but no worries , darling . i 'll get to it . graham : you know , i wish i had known then what awaited us here . dina : are you sorry that you came with me ? graham : absolutely not . i would n't have wanted you to come alone . i made a promise to you . i intend to keep it . dina : then what 's bothering you ? graham : jack and ashley . although , ashley has turned out to be somewhat pleasant . but your son , who claims to want to reconnect with you , seems intent on rehashing old grievances , and trying to make you feel guilty . dina : well , i know he 's been rude to you . graham : openly hostile . dina : i 'm sorry . graham : it 's okay . i can deal with it . i just hate seeing how it affects you . dina : jack just does n't understand . graham : no . he does n't . ashley : boy , oh , boy . you are all over the place . jack : why ? because i disagree with victor ? ashley : no . i mean , forget victor . but you 're letting your personal feelings cloud your judgment . that 's what you do . jack : now you 're exaggerating . ashley : did n't you just try to make me seduce graham so that i could drive a wedge between dina and him ? jack : i never used the word `` seduce . `` ashley : you were trying to pimp out your sister , and we both know it . jack : okay , it was n't my finest hour . ashley : ya think ? jack : makes me wish i had n't said anything to gloria . ashley : you asked gloria , too ? ! jack : i may have mentioned something . ashley : and you 're accusing victor of being oblivious to other people 's feelings ? jack : have n't you noticed that things are a little off with victor and his family ? ashley : well , jack , maybe it has to do with adam 's murder . they could be trying to grapple with the after effects . jack : no , no , no . if victor were mourning adam 's death , nikki would feel compassion for him instead of ... ashley : instead of what ? well , victor either did something bad or he did n't . jack : something happened . i do n't know what it was , but it has put a strain on nikki and their marriage . ashley : oh , and you want to take advantage of that and try to use it against him . jack : no ! but i am not going to let him hurt her again . i 'm not . ashley : you might be shocked to learn that victor actually showed some compassion regarding the dina situation . jack : wait , wait , wait . what did you tell him ? ashley : that we have some suspicions about graham . jack : and ? ashley : he agrees . he think that graham 's motives are even more concerning , because he knows that dina is not easily manipulated . jack : it 's a good thing you have ravi investigating him . any updates there ? ashley : just confirmed that graham was indeed born and raised in the midwest . and then he moved to hollywood to pursue a dream . jack : he 's an actor ? ashley : [ laughs ] yeah . not a very successful one , however . some extra work , a few bit parts . that was almost 20 years ago . jack : and now he 's using his thespian skills to con our mother . but , no , dina said that he 'd only been part of her life for the last year or so . what about the years in between ? ashley : did n't find out that much . but his online profile at mergeron says that he is the executive vice president of `` corporate strategy . `` what the hell is that ? jack : the only thing he 's strategizing is how to separate dina from her money . ashley : well , jackie , what is it you think we can do ? jack : michael says unless we can get her power of attorney , our hands are tied . ashley : so i 'm thinking maybe we should back off . jack : back o -- no , we 're not backing off . ashley : i 've had a change of heart . i think when i sat down with graham , he was actually being sincere . jack : ashley , he 's an actor ! the way he fawns all over mother . ashley : whatever . they 're consenting adults . jack : what , so you 're fine now ? you trust this guy ? ashley : i did n't say i trusted him . i do n't even necessarily like him . but our mother does . and he treats her like she 's the most important thing in his life , which evidently she is . and our mother adores him . is n't what 's important , that she 's happy ? it 's her life . her choice . graham : i worry that the longer we stay here , the more your children will try to convince you to move in with them . and we both know where that will lead . they wo n't let you live your life the way you want . dina : well , how can they stop me ? graham : they can attempt to take away your power by claiming all sorts of things . dina : oh , nonsense . i wo n't let that happen . graham : dina , i know you still carry a lot of guilt from abandoning your family . but trust me , jack and ashley would have no qualms about abandoning you . they 're not invested in your well - being . i am . dina : [ sighs ] print those documents for me to sign , will you ? including my will . [ sighs ] and , you know , you 're right . i should have signed it before we left europe . victor : i 'm through trying to win you over , son . nick : i did n't ask you to . victor : however , i ask you to bring faith to your mother 's concert , okay ? nick : faith wo n't be there . victor : what do you mean she wo n't be there ? nick : well , she 's gone away to sleep - away camp . she 'll be gone for about a month . victor : i did n't know about that . nick : well , it does n't really concern you . victor : is this your way of trying to keep her away from me ? nick : no . faith actually wanted to go to camp . victor : so you let her leave without saying goodbye ? nick : look , it 's not like we did n't try , you know . we were running late , and we could n't find you . faith did ask me to tell you she 's gon na miss you . victor : son , what is this all about , really ? i do n't remember you ever liking adam . nick : look , he did a lot of things i did n't like . you know , he was complicated . felt like i was just beginning to understand him . but then he died , and we both know why that happened . victor : do i need to remind you that you could n't stand your brother ? your outrage is nothing but hypocrisy ! [ door closes ] scott : sorry to interrupt . victor . nick . victor : it 's all right , scott . scott : the office said you were working from home . victor : i 'm glad you made it . scott : yeah , well , i try . victor : please sit down . scott : got some , uh , time - sensitive agreements to expedite regarding hashtag . nick : what 's hashtag ? victor : it 's a digital - media company which i purchased , and scott will run it . besides running that company , he also helped put together this fundraising concert . nick : well , that 's a 180 from when you first came back to town . you know , you seemed to have really embraced the newman enterprises lifestyle . scott : you know , at that point , i did n't expect to be sticking around genoa city for long , but now i have a reason to . your father 's given me a great opportunity . paragraph five . [ clears throat ] they seem to be , uh -- they seem to be over - reaching . and then again on paragraph se -- victor : whoa , whoa , whoa . one second . one second . one second . one second . scott : sure . that 's just a question of wording . just change it , okay ? what else ? jack : i 'm just saying maybe you think dina deserves to be screwed over by this guy . ashley : that 's a disgusting thing to say , jack . jack : maybe she has it coming after what she did to our family . ashley : you know what , if that was the case , then i would n't have asked ravi to do an extensive internet search on graham , and i would n't have sat down with graham to find out who he really is and what he wants with our mother . jack : then you forgive dina . ashley : i did n't say i forgave her , either . you know , i 'm a fairly decent person , and i do n't want to see her get hurt . but guess what ? she seems happy . jack : okay . okay , i get it . ashley : and maybe you need to stop micromanaging her life , because it 's actually none of your business . jack : what , i 'm not allowed to care ? i 'm not allowed to want what 's best for her ? ashley : of course you can . but ultimately it 's her choice how she lives her life , and with whom . jack : [ sighs ] ashley : and guess what ? if you do n't start accepting the fact that graham is an important part of her life , and stop trying to cause trouble between the two of them , she 's gon na end up resenting you . and she 's here now . you have a real shot at having a relationship with her . so if she wants to pay for his lavish lifestyle , which she can well afford , then let her . there 's nothing we can do . and i know you do n't want to lose her again . jack : i do want time with her . it 's why i invited her to stay out at the house . she 's family . why ca n't that mean something more ? ashley : aww . jackie . just give it some time . [ cell phone rings ] ashley : hm . ashley abbott . yeah . okay . um ... i can be there right now . okay , thanks . bye . jack : who was there ? ashley : it was dina . jack : what does she want ? ashley : i do n't know . i 'll tell you when i find out . nikki : i have n't worked out in a while . you know how that goes . gloria : which is why i swear by yoga . never felt so limber . [ groans ] it 's all about the chakras , nikki . you open up those suckers , it 'll change your life . nikki : i 'll keep that in mind . okay , well ... oh ! oh . good to see you . [ groans ] see you later . i 'm fine . thank you . [ cell phone rings ] jack : hey . thanks for calling me back . how are you ? nikki : jack , i really need you . please come . scott : it may not be the short route to a quick profit , but it could win us the long game if we just focus on stories and not clickbait . you know , tell real investigative reporting , from world events to pop culture . victor : yeah . uh , just prepare a formal presentation . i 'll submit it to the marketing department . okay ? i was expecting more resistance . uh , that you might think it was not commercial enough . victor : that is the responsibility of the marketing department to decide . all right ? scott : you know , i ... [ sighs ] i hope your son did n't leave on account of me . victor : my son and i do n't have the best of relations right now . in fact , i 'd rather talk to my two daughters . they love business . scott : you know , nick 's running a successful business with the underground . i can relate to his desire to do his own thing . victor : yeah . well , he 's as stubborn as you are , scott . i 'm gon na head over to the chancellor pavilion , see how that venue 's coming along for the concert . you see yourself out , okay ? scott : thank you , victor . sharon : okay . spill it . what 's up ? nick : had an unexpected run - in with my dad . i thought he was gon na be at the office . sharon : [ scoffs ] are things really that bad between you two ? nick : i 'm just -- i 'm over it . i 'm over him always trying to control everyone and everything . sharon : well , that 's nothing new , nick . nick : dad told me he 's expecting faith to be at mom 's concert . sharon : mm . that 's gon na be a little difficult to do . nick : yeah . he was pretty annoyed that i said she was n't gon na be there . sharon : does n't he know that she went off to summer camp ? nick : i had n't told him . sharon : neither had i. i guess i just assumed nikki would . nick : well , mom 's dealing with her own stuff . sharon : yeah . she 's getting ready for her performance . nick : [ sighs ] yeah . sharon : i tried to talk her out of it . i tried to talk her into canceling , but she 's determined to get on the stage that night , so this must be something she wants to do . nick : did she say anything else ? sharon : um ... just ... that she 's a little worried about being the poster child for living with m.s . nick : how did she seem ? sharon : um ... i think a little worried that she would n't live up to your father 's expectations . nick : [ sighs ] that is the last thing she needs to be worrying about . sharon : you know , i tried to convince her that no one 's gon na care if her performance is n't perfect , but i do n't think she took much comfort in that . [ knock on door ] scott : i got to grab my computer before i go to the , uh -- oh . hi . again . so , i guess this is where you went . one final signature . dina : mm . the will ? correct . [ stamp clicks ] anything else you need notarized ? graham : no . that 's all . thank you . okay . graham : ashley . ashley : i guess my mother did n't tell you that she called me . ashley : what 's all this ? graham : uh , those documents are related to dina 's finances in the wake of the mergeron sale . dina : yes , and we finally executed them . graham : you arrived at the perfect time , ashley . i 'll leave you two to talk while i send these off to our attorney . and if you need anything , i 'll be down in the spa . dina : thank you so much . i appreciate it . graham : of course . my pleasure . you know that . ashley : well , he seems like he 's in a particularly good mood , does n't he ? dina : [ chuckles ] now you know why i like having him around . ashley : i 'm glad you called me . i wanted to talk to you about graham . dina : what about him ? ashley : well , jack is a little ... disappointed . he 's having a hard time dealing with what appears to be that graham has a monopoly on your life . dina : oh , that 's just absurd . ashley : maybe . but when you decided to stay in town longer , jack was hoping that you 'd move into the house and spend time with him . dina : just him ? ashley : i would come there sometimes . dina : [ chuckles ] therein lies the problem . you know i love spending time with jack . but seriously , ashley , would you want me under the same roof ? hm ? ashley : well , it 's a very big roof . dina : [ chuckles ] ashley : it even has a guesthouse , so we would n't have to share a bathroom . dina : not that we ever did . do you ever regret that ? not having those kind of mother - daughter moments ? dina : well , i 'm very glad that you and abby have had them , and i really admire your closeness with your daughter . ashley : that does n't really answer my question . dina : you 're a good mother , ashley . a wonderful mother . everything that i was n't to you . nick : when you showed up at my dad 's place , i just assumed your meeting with him was really important , and that 's why you drove all the way out here . but i guess you were already in the neighborhood . sharon : um ... nick and i were just talking about the concert . nick : which apparently you had a hand in putting together . scott : victor asked me to find a venue , make some arrangements . nick : well , then , could you give me some insight as to what my dad is thinking or doing ? scott : the event is to celebrate the dedication of the new research center in nikki 's name . nick : i think it 's more like a celebration of victor newman 's massive donation to the medical school . scott : yeah , well , there 's that , too . but from what victor told me , there was a time when nikki 's disease prevented her from playing the piano . so he 's using this as a way to celebrate her , uh , moving forward with that . and it 's going to be a compelling example for those who suffer from the disease . but it 's your family . i do n't want to step on your toes or get in your territory or anything like that . nick : hey , no . you 're not . scott : great . i 'll , uh , see you later ? sharon : okay . nick : [ scoffs , laughs ] jack : hey . nikki : oh , jack ! thank you for rushing over . jack : well , thank you for calling me . what 's wrong ? nikki : [ sighs ] well , you were on my mind a lot after i ran into gloria at the sauna . jack : bet that was relaxing . nikki : oh , she 's all right . in small doses . but she is genuinely concerned about you . jack : please tell me that is not why you needed to see me . nikki : no , i -- [ groans ] jack : nikki , look what you 're doing to yourself . nikki : it 's just a rough day , that 's all . jack : because you insist on going through with this concert . nikki : yes , i do . and you 're the only one i can talk to about it . jack : okay , i 'm here . talk to me . nikki : i - i 'm terrified . i mean , i - i stay at home every minute , and i practice and i play and i work and i -- jack : the stress is too much , nikki . nick : i - i know . i realized that i was putting myself under too much pressure , and i - i did n't really need to do that , so i had a massage , i went to the spa . just trying to find some relief . jack : okay , spas are great . did you see your doctor ? nikki : yes , of course i saw my doctor , jack . she gave me steroids for the swelling and for the pain . oh , my god . the pain is so intense . and what she gave me is helping , but i - i just wish that i could get something that would work more long - term . jack : how about postponing this concert ? nikki : i can not do that . jack : nikki -- nikki : look , you know , to be realistic about this , it 's not carnegie hall . i mean , it 's just a couple of tunes at a fundraiser . it 's nothing . jack : you joke all you want . i know what this is doing to you . victor may not see it or care , but i do . ashley : it 's kind of surprising , hearing you compliment my parenting skills . dina : well , the proof is in abby . you know , i adore her . in fact , i see quite a bit of myself in her . i hope that does n't bother you , dear . ashley : i 'm not sure how that makes me feel . but i actually have more , um , pressing concerns where you 're involved . dina : well , you did mention jack 's worry about graham . and are you concerned , as well ? ashley : a little bit . dina : well , that 's just because you keep jumping to very unflattering conclusions . that 's quite prevalent when a younger man meets an older woman of means . ashley : i 'm trying very hard not to do that . dina : well , it 's so easy to assume that he 's trying to take advantage , that he 's trying to steal my fortune . no worries , ashley . graham is not about to steal . ashley : why , is he the heir to some other massive fortune ? dina : [ chuckles ] not quite , dear . but he is extremely well - rewarded for his service and his loyalty , and he has a life that most people ca n't even imagine . but more importantly , he is my good friend , and he has my best interests at heart . he looks out for me . ashley : and i 'm sure you do n't want to be alone . dina : oh , well , it 's much more than that . ashley : what if he meets somebody and leaves you ? dina : oh , come on . he wo n't . [ laughs ] ashley : how do you know that ? dina : because graham and i have a deal . graham : hello . gloria , right ? graham : [ sighs ] you remember . graham : of course . graham . gloria : i remember . graham : uh , you 're just leaving , or ... ? gloria : i was thinking about making more steam . do you mind ? nick : so , you and scott ... that was fast . sharon : no . not really . we have been spending a lot of time together . he 's a great guy . nick : yeah , dad seems to think so , too . says he 's real smart and talented . sharon : yeah , victor made him the head of his new digital - media company . nick : well , looks like he has a reason to stick around now . i just hope he realizes he 's being used . sharon : [ scoffs ] nick , scott is a world - class journalist . he puts his heart and his soul into all of his work . victor is lucky to have him . nick : i just -- i do n't get it . i mean , he spends millions of dollars to bring this guy home , and throws him into a new career , gives him a position that 's ... sharon : that 's usually reserved for family members ? except none of the newman children want to work with victor right now , except for abby . so why do n't you tell me what 's going on ? nick : i do n't know what you 're talking about . sharon : yeah , you think you 're fooling everyone with this happy - family act , but , nick ... i can see right through you . i can see right through nikki . nick : there 's nothing , sharon . sharon : you do n't want anything to do with victor right now . neither does nikki . you think you 're hiding it , but it 's plainly obvious to anyone who knows the players . and , nick , you do n't have to pretend with me . you can be honest . what 's going on with the newmans ? why are you all putting on this big act ? jack : all victor wants is to bask in the glory of your performance , and turn the entire event about him . do n't play into that . walk away from the man . leave him standing there with nothing . let him see what that feels like . you said this was about proving something to him . nick : no , to me . i 'm sure he feels so very clever , springing this on me the way he did . and he only did it to prove that he still has the power to make big things happen and orchestrate our lives . and i have to tell you , jack , it galls the hell out of me . jack : then why do it ? nikki : because i am not going to let him take my confidence away from me . i ca n't ever let him do that again . and no matter what happens between the two of us , i am not going to lose myself . so , to me , this concert is a way of trying to find a true part of me again . ow ! [ inhales sharply ] jack : nikki ? nikki : [ groans ] oh , god , jack , i am so sorry . i should n't have had you come here . i got to go . i have to go home . jack : oh , here ... nikki : i 'm okay .

[ scene_break ] emily : i do n't think you 're getting enough oxygen through that stupid nose of yours . how is giving up my child a smart thing ? henry : because you 're proving them wrong . you 're doing the right thing . you 're doing the noble thing . it 's the far , far , far better thing . emily : for who ? for who ? for paul ? henry : no , not for paul ! for the baby ! you 're in a psych ward , right ? they 're observing you . and yeah , you 're occasionally knocking over a glass of water and pouring your heart out to a passing clown . but the bottom line is , you 're making tough decisions . you 're putting your baby first , em . you 're sacrificing your own happiness , and for some reason in this day and age , that is called sanity . emily : are you finished ? because you can go now . henry : em . hey . you ca n't -- you ca n't blame this on paul . i mean , he 's a louse , yeah . absolutely . i 'm not defending the guy , but you 're in here -- you 're in here because you let yourself get carried away . and i do n't wan na dump on you when you 're down , sweetie , but you 've done some really stupid things for love . emily : i know . i know . i know that . henry : giving up -- giving up the baby -- and at the same time , giving up said baby 's worthless father , that -- that 's one of the smartest things you 've ever done . now you keep this up , you 're gon na convince the doctors here that you 're coming out of that very dark place called temporary insanity . and that 's the diagnosis you need for this trial . emily : well , that 's a nice try , but it 's not going to work . because as soon as dusty and jennifer take the stand and they tell the judge what i did ? i do n't care how many sympathetic shrinks we march into that courtroom . i 'm going to jail .

[ livia sighs ] livia : now , that is a far - fetched fantasy . annie : he did n't place emma with me -- i gave birth to her . she 's mine , 100 % . livia : your honor , just because dixie martin and annie mcdermott shared the same ob - gyn does not mean that annie ended up with dixie 's child . dr. greg madden had hundreds of clients all over the world . jack : you 're right , livia . indeed , he did . so why are we keeping the good judge here from his dinner ? what is the basis of this hearing ? it is , in fact , a rather marvelous discovery made by a doctor at pine valley hospital . it is , in fact , a dna test , the results of which show that tad martin and emma mcdermott are in fact father and daughter . [ scene_break ] erin : hearing must 've started by now . jonathan : probably . erin : wonder how it 's going . jonathan : does it really matter ? erin : um -- annie 's rights to her child are at stake -- yeah . yeah , i 'd say it 's pretty crucial . jonathan : i 've dealt with the law around here long enough to know that it 's really just a game that 's refereed by some random judge . erin : um -- what does that mean , exactly ? jonathan : it means i would bet for the worst . if the judge orders another dna test , i 'm getting annie and emma out of here before the test results come back . erin : but -- but emma could actually turn out to be tad and dixie 's child , so what then ? jonathan : i do n't care if she 's tad or dixie 's child . [ scene_break ] dixie : i realize that i made a grave mistake when i gave away my daughter . i realized that when i started recovering from my car accident , an accident that my doctor knew that i would survive . i was conned into giving up my child , the most precious thing in the world to me . i do n't know if you 're a parent , your honor , but can you imagine what that must have felt like ? to have given away your child to strangers , because you were lied to ? i ca n't tell you how full of self - loathing and emptiness i 've been . i 've looked all over the world for her . i have followed lead after lead . i have met other women who were victims of this maniac . i have found fake birth certificates . i have found hundreds of photographs of children that he has brought into the world , children that he has given away . and i have never been so close to finding kate as i am now . i have to know the truth . please , i have to know if this is my child . please , your honor -- it 's my only option left . judge : i am very sorry for your loss , ms. martin . it 's obvious you regret your choice . annie : what happened to you is terrible , dixie . but you ca n't make up for losing your child by taking mine . tad : nobody wants to take anything that does n't belong to them . all we want is answers -- i 'm sorry , your honor , but forgive me . if you had spent the last four years of your life looking for your daughter , and you thought you might have found her , you 'd insist on the same answers . you 'd have to know . annie : i do know -- emma is not your daughter , end of discussion . jack : ms. mcdermott , if you 're so sure about that , then i do n't understand you having any qualms about taking another dna test . livia : the only thing this is about is that there is no legal basis for ordering a mother to prove that she is the mother of her own child , and there is no legal basis for ordering a child to be subject to this test . ryan : i 'm sorry , if i may , your honor . why do we -- why do we need a test at all ? i 'm just -- i 'm just trying to figure it out because if -- if the one that you gave the judge is 99.99 % , right , which is the supposed accuracy , then i do n't understand what we 're even doing here , because tad and dixie would be suing for custody of emma right now . but the man responsible for that test is a convicted felon , and he is a liar , and he has got a grudge against half the people in this town .

[ scene_break ] livia : your honor , while i 'd like to admit for the record that my client did not consent to this test , i 'm also very curious why mr. montgomery is requesting that another test be conducted . is he admitting that these test results are questionable ? are you just going for the best two out of three ? judge : i 'd like to hear that answer myself , counselor . jack : i concede the court may have some problems with the authenticity of the first test . livia : and you must have some problems with it , as well , or we would n't be here . jack : because the source of that test is somewhat tainted . this is why we request another test . livia : your honor , clearly mr. and ms. martin have no legal grounds to stand on . a questionable dna test is the only connection they have to emma mcdermott . and now we know that that dna test could possibly be mr. martin and his son . judge : you admit this test is unreliable , yet you claim it as grounds for another . if you 're playing games with me , jack -- jack : i assure you , your honor , i am not . dixie : show him the test from new york . judge : well , who produced that one -- santa claus ? livia : your honor , how many random tests are we going to be subjected to ? jack : in fact , livia , this test is n't random at all . this is a test that annie mcdermott had done at a licensed clinic in new york city . livia : your honor , that is a private medical record clearly obtain illegally , and it is inadmissible . judge : i will keep that in mind , thank you . ms. mcdermott , this test states that you are no blood relationship to the child that you claim you delivered . ryan : your honor , whether annie matches emma makes no difference . it still proves nothing , nothing for tad and dixie .

the custody battle for emma is underway . jack represents tad and dixie . livia represents annie . ryan accompanies annie . erin and jonathan stay home with emma . jack asks annie if she 's so certain that emma is hers ' , why , then , does she refuse to take a dna test ? livia tells the judge that no law requires her to do that and the state recognizes her as emma 's legal parent . annie and ryan convince the judge that it 's in emma 's best interest to stay with annie and not be given to `` strangers `` even if tad and dixie can prove that they are her parents . he rules in their favor . but when he 's alone , he calls to inquire about the dna results . david goes to confront babe , jr and josh in an attempt to get his daughter to dump jr and choose josh . he tells jr that he has proof that she cheated on him with josh . but jr tells david he does not care . babe affirms to her father that she chooses jr . and josh does not argue . david is very disappointed . babe still has josh on the brain , however . kendall is very worried that it looks like spike has gotten a fever . zach helps her .

[ livia sighs ] livia : now , that is a far - fetched fantasy . annie : he did n't place emma with me -- i gave birth to her . she 's mine , 100 % . livia : your honor , just because dixie martin and annie mcdermott shared the same ob - gyn does not mean that annie ended up with dixie 's child . dr. greg madden had hundreds of clients all over the world . jack : you 're right , livia . indeed , he did . so why are we keeping the good judge here from his dinner ? what is the basis of this hearing ? it is , in fact , a rather marvelous discovery made by a doctor at pine valley hospital . it is , in fact , a dna test , the results of which show that tad martin and emma mcdermott are in fact father and daughter . [ scene_break ] erin : hearing must 've started by now . jonathan : probably . erin : wonder how it 's going . jonathan : does it really matter ? erin : um -- annie 's rights to her child are at stake -- yeah . yeah , i 'd say it 's pretty crucial . jonathan : i 've dealt with the law around here long enough to know that it 's really just a game that 's refereed by some random judge . erin : um -- what does that mean , exactly ? jonathan : it means i would bet for the worst . if the judge orders another dna test , i 'm getting annie and emma out of here before the test results come back . erin : but -- but emma could actually turn out to be tad and dixie 's child , so what then ? jonathan : i do n't care if she 's tad or dixie 's child . [ scene_break ] dixie : i realize that i made a grave mistake when i gave away my daughter . i realized that when i started recovering from my car accident , an accident that my doctor knew that i would survive . i was conned into giving up my child , the most precious thing in the world to me . i do n't know if you 're a parent , your honor , but can you imagine what that must have felt like ? to have given away your child to strangers , because you were lied to ? i ca n't tell you how full of self - loathing and emptiness i 've been . i 've looked all over the world for her . i have followed lead after lead . i have met other women who were victims of this maniac . i have found fake birth certificates . i have found hundreds of photographs of children that he has brought into the world , children that he has given away . and i have never been so close to finding kate as i am now . i have to know the truth . please , i have to know if this is my child . please , your honor -- it 's my only option left . judge : i am very sorry for your loss , ms. martin . it 's obvious you regret your choice . annie : what happened to you is terrible , dixie . but you ca n't make up for losing your child by taking mine . tad : nobody wants to take anything that does n't belong to them . all we want is answers -- i 'm sorry , your honor , but forgive me . if you had spent the last four years of your life looking for your daughter , and you thought you might have found her , you 'd insist on the same answers . you 'd have to know . annie : i do know -- emma is not your daughter , end of discussion . jack : ms. mcdermott , if you 're so sure about that , then i do n't understand you having any qualms about taking another dna test . livia : the only thing this is about is that there is no legal basis for ordering a mother to prove that she is the mother of her own child , and there is no legal basis for ordering a child to be subject to this test . ryan : i 'm sorry , if i may , your honor . why do we -- why do we need a test at all ? i 'm just -- i 'm just trying to figure it out because if -- if the one that you gave the judge is 99.99 % , right , which is the supposed accuracy , then i do n't understand what we 're even doing here , because tad and dixie would be suing for custody of emma right now . but the man responsible for that test is a convicted felon , and he is a liar , and he has got a grudge against half the people in this town . [ scene_break ] david : tell j.r. the truth . please , babe . the longer you stay married to this lunatic , the greater the chances of something terrible happening to you . babe : terrible , huh ? you are the worst thing that 's ever happened to me . you 're standing here accusing me , your very own daughter , of cheating on her husband . what kind of father does that ? david : a father who loves his daughter very much . you ca n't see that ? babe : and ca n't you see that i love j.r. ? i 'm happy being with his wife ? david : except when you 're with josh . you do n't have to put on this act anymore . i 'm here , josh is here . we 'll protect you . this is the perfect setting , babe . it 's time . just tell the truth . babe : j.r. already knows the truth -- that i 'm 100 % committed to this marriage . david : all right . you know , maybe i misread things . maybe you do n't want to have a life with josh . but you know something ? i do n't care . all i care about is that you get away from this thug . he already signed over custody to you for little adam , right , when he thought he was going to jail ? well , all you have to do now is take this chance , take your son , and go , start a fresh , new life . babe : when are you going to get it through your thick skull ? i am not going anywhere . i am happy . david : you can see she 's hedging , ca n't you ? you got to see that i 'm right . babe : shut up . you have no idea what you 're talking about . david : how are you going to stay married to this woman when you know that she 's been had by another man ? babe : get out of here . david : every time josh and babe are in bed together , he is laughing at you behind your back . you can not pretend that that 's not happening , junior . what , turn the other cheek ? come on . that 's not the chandler way , is it ? j.r. : you seem so sure of yourself , hayward . who 's your source ? david : oh , i promise -- it 's solid . babe : i 'd hardly call colby solid . david : when your sister was in the tunnels , she overheard babe confessing that she had sex with josh -- to krystal .

[ scene_break ] livia : your honor , while i 'd like to admit for the record that my client did not consent to this test , i 'm also very curious why mr. montgomery is requesting that another test be conducted . is he admitting that these test results are questionable ? are you just going for the best two out of three ? judge : i 'd like to hear that answer myself , counselor . jack : i concede the court may have some problems with the authenticity of the first test . livia : and you must have some problems with it , as well , or we would n't be here . jack : because the source of that test is somewhat tainted . this is why we request another test . livia : your honor , clearly mr. and ms. martin have no legal grounds to stand on . a questionable dna test is the only connection they have to emma mcdermott . and now we know that that dna test could possibly be mr. martin and his son . judge : you admit this test is unreliable , yet you claim it as grounds for another . if you 're playing games with me , jack -- jack : i assure you , your honor , i am not . dixie : show him the test from new york . judge : well , who produced that one -- santa claus ? livia : your honor , how many random tests are we going to be subjected to ? jack : in fact , livia , this test is n't random at all . this is a test that annie mcdermott had done at a licensed clinic in new york city . livia : your honor , that is a private medical record clearly obtain illegally , and it is inadmissible . judge : i will keep that in mind , thank you . ms. mcdermott , this test states that you are no blood relationship to the child that you claim you delivered . ryan : your honor , whether annie matches emma makes no difference . it still proves nothing , nothing for tad and dixie .

[ scene_break ] steve : listen , della , i do n't want kayla . i 'm happy with you , baby . come on , i only went after her just to make sure she was okay , you know , out there in the alley . della : well , why would n't she be okay ? besides her poor little broken heart , i mean . she 's a doctor , right ? you do n't think she 's smart enough to find her own car ? steve : let 's stop talking about kayla . come on , listen . you know what ? i got to tell you something . you 're gon na love this . me -- nick steve johnson , nick stock -- what ever the hell my name is , you know what ? i used to be a cop . della : [ laughs ] you 're kidding . steve : no , no . seriously , that 's not all , though . listen , listen . and i was an undercover government agent . [ laughs ] della : whoo ! my own ethan hunt . steve : yeah . no , i 'm serious . you do n't think i 'm serious . listen -- apparently i worked on some really dangerous cases . i pissed some people off , you know , made some dangerous enemies . it 's true , because i think one of them staged my death and erased my memory . della : yeah , well , why would n't they just kill you ? steve : oh , that 's a good question . but you know , it 's the only thing that makes any sense , because what i got ai n't amnesia . somebody -- zzz ! -- erased my hard drive . della : why would they do that ? steve : well , i do n't know . maybe on one of my cases i stumbled across something i was n't supposed to see . della : maybe it was n't the bad guys . maybe it was the government . steve : oh , you 've been watching too many conspiracy movies , i think . della : no , i 'm serious . it happens . steve : well , listen , here 's a question -- the question is this -- whoever did this , what happens if they find out that i know i 'm steve johnson ? della : well , how would they find that out ? steve : i do n't know . maybe they seen me in salem with , you know , kayla or maybe somebody else from my past . della : i mean , you would have noticed . steve : i do n't know who they are . but if they still have it in for me ... i got to find out what really happened to me . [ scene_break ] stephanie : like i said , i saw him earlier tonight . kayla : does he have a name ? stephanie : it does n't matter . kayla : i guess i would n't really know who he is anyway , would i ? so , the two of you were hanging out . stephanie : and having a great time until his girlfriend showed up . kayla : girlfriend ? stephanie : i do n't even know why he has one . he 's this great guy , mom . and she does n't appreciate him at all . why would he want to be with her ? what does she got that i do n't have ? kayla : well , people see different things in different people . stephanie : she does n't have anything . i mean , he and i share all these interests that she could n't care less about . plus , i have a successful career . she does n't even have a job . she 's been in trouble with the law . i 've never even had a parking ticket . i mean , i 'm fairly good - looking . kayla : oh , come on . you 're beautiful . stephanie : well , whatever . i guess she is , too , but is that all he cares about ? kayla : well , if it is , then he 's not the guy for you . stephanie : yeah , well , he says it 's not , so why would he choose her over me ? kayla : does he know that you even like him ? stephanie : i do n't know . kayla : well , have you told him ? stephanie : not exactly . kayla : why not ? stephanie : because i 've been down this road way too many times before , you know ? i find some great guy and all he sees me as is a friend . so i go out on a limb and tell him how i feel , and then it ends up getting so complicated that we ca n't even stay friends . so that 's why i have n't told him , because i 'm afraid if i do , i 'll totally lose him . you know what ? i ca n't let that happen , not with this guy , mom . kayla : because you really like him . stephanie : more than i 've ever liked anyone . i mean , all my girlfriends tell me what a great catch i am . so why does n't he see it ? what 's wrong with me , mom ? kayla : oh , baby , come here . oh . [ scene_break ] sami : what 's that ? austin : i do n't know . it 's a letter . it 's addressed to you . the person that left it is probably the same one that lucas saw and chased down the hallway . sami : well , did you open it ? austin : no , it 's addressed to you . it 's yours . lucas : it 's way past time we open that , find out who the hell was sneaking around the hallway . [ scene_break ] kayla : well , you know , maybe you 're not the one who has the problem . maybe he does . stephanie : i do n't think so . kayla : well , you said that he 's got this girlfriend who 's been in trouble with the law , right ? stephanie : yeah , big - time . kayla : well , have you asked yourself why he chooses to ignore that ? stephanie : because he 's kind and understand and nonjudgmental like you are with dad , because he chooses to see the best in people and believes they can change , even if she has n't . kayla : you know , stephanie , i hope you do n't mind me saying this , but he does n't know that you feel this way about him , right ? so maybe he has those feelings for you , but he 's afraid to express them because maybe he thinks that you just want to be friends . when you really like somebody , you need to risk the consequences , just like you risked the consequences telling me that we need to communicate more . stephanie : this is stupid even worrying about this with all the other stuff that 's going on . i mean , i guess i did n't really know my dad , but i had him in my life for like two days . and now maybe i 'll never see him again . kayla : i know your father would n't want you to put your life on hold for him . stephanie : okay . okay , so what if i tell this guy and it turns out like all the other times ? kayla : and what if it does n't ? would n't it be better to know the truth than to live in a fantasy ? stephanie : i 'm not so sure . kayla : do you want to just be friends ? stephanie : no . kayla : well , then , you need to be willing to take the risk . you got to put your cards on the table . that 's who you are , stephanie . i know you can do this . stephanie : well , that depends . kayla : on what ? stephanie : are you willing to do the same thing with dad ? [ scene_break ] della : it 's been a lot of years . you have a whole new life , one you 're happy with . why drag up all this old stuff ? steve : because whoever did this might have other plans now . i ca n't protect myself and the people around me unless i know what i 'm up against . della : you really think you 're in danger ? steve : i do n't know . but if i am , i could be putting your life in danger , too . della : mine ? steve : yeah , yours . listen -- if somebody can stage my death and erase my memory , that somebody 's got a lot of power . they went through a lot of trouble and expense to accomplish all that . they 're not gon na be too happy to find out that it 's wasted because i found out i 'm steve johnson and half of salem knows that i 'm alive . so i have to assume ... that they 're coming after me again . i got to be ready .

[ scene_break ] e.j . : when are you going to tell austin the truth about this ? sami : never . e.j . : what do you mean `` never `` ? i thought we agreed it was the right thing to do . sami : yeah , but that was before we found out that carrie 's not pregnant and that she 's never going to be pregnant . e.j . : what difference does that make ? this is n't about carrie being pregnant . this is about you telling austin the truth and taking the power away from this guy who 's writing all these threatening letters . sami : no , i ca n't tell austin the truth now because he will leave me in a heartbeat and he will take carrie away from lucas . carrie made a decision about her entire life and austin 's and lucas ' based on a child that she is never gon na have . oh , my god . it 's so sad . e.j . : whether or not she 's pregnant does n't make a difference . she 's still married to lucas . sami : that will not last long . as soon as austin becomes unattached , they will live together . no , i am not gon na tell austin the truth . i have to find some other way to stop this creep who 's writing these notes . [ scene_break ] lucas : sorry to interrupt you guys . e.j . : no , totally fine . lucas : do you still have that heating pad ? sami : yeah , it 's in my bedroom . lucas : can i borrow it ? i twisted my knee . there was somebody hanging around your door and i chased him down . sami : what do you mean someone was hanging around my door ? who ? lucas : well , i do n't know who it was . sami : a man ? a woman ? lucas : i do n't know . whoever it was , they ran away , so it could n't have been good . sami : why are you just telling me this now ? lucas : i 'm sorry , all right ? it 's the first chance i had . plus , you know , they 're gone now . i did n't want to worry you . [ scene_break ] austin : did n't want her to worry about what ? lucas : well , i just told her about that person , whoever it was , hanging outside the apartment . sami : you knew about it ? austin : lucas told me . sami : what do you think it 's all about ? austin : he was probably dropping this off . [ scene_break ] steve : listen , della , i do n't want kayla . i 'm happy with you , baby . come on , i only went after her just to make sure she was okay , you know , out there in the alley . della : well , why would n't she be okay ? besides her poor little broken heart , i mean . she 's a doctor , right ? you do n't think she 's smart enough to find her own car ? steve : let 's stop talking about kayla . come on , listen . you know what ? i got to tell you something . you 're gon na love this . me -- nick steve johnson , nick stock -- what ever the hell my name is , you know what ? i used to be a cop . della : [ laughs ] you 're kidding . steve : no , no . seriously , that 's not all , though . listen , listen . and i was an undercover government agent . [ laughs ] della : whoo ! my own ethan hunt . steve : yeah . no , i 'm serious . you do n't think i 'm serious . listen -- apparently i worked on some really dangerous cases . i pissed some people off , you know , made some dangerous enemies . it 's true , because i think one of them staged my death and erased my memory . della : yeah , well , why would n't they just kill you ? steve : oh , that 's a good question . but you know , it 's the only thing that makes any sense , because what i got ai n't amnesia . somebody -- zzz ! -- erased my hard drive . della : why would they do that ? steve : well , i do n't know . maybe on one of my cases i stumbled across something i was n't supposed to see . della : maybe it was n't the bad guys . maybe it was the government . steve : oh , you 've been watching too many conspiracy movies , i think . della : no , i 'm serious . it happens . steve : well , listen , here 's a question -- the question is this -- whoever did this , what happens if they find out that i know i 'm steve johnson ? della : well , how would they find that out ? steve : i do n't know . maybe they seen me in salem with , you know , kayla or maybe somebody else from my past . della : i mean , you would have noticed . steve : i do n't know who they are . but if they still have it in for me ... i got to find out what really happened to me . [ scene_break ] stephanie : like i said , i saw him earlier tonight . kayla : does he have a name ? stephanie : it does n't matter . kayla : i guess i would n't really know who he is anyway , would i ? so , the two of you were hanging out . stephanie : and having a great time until his girlfriend showed up . kayla : girlfriend ? stephanie : i do n't even know why he has one . he 's this great guy , mom . and she does n't appreciate him at all . why would he want to be with her ? what does she got that i do n't have ? kayla : well , people see different things in different people . stephanie : she does n't have anything . i mean , he and i share all these interests that she could n't care less about . plus , i have a successful career . she does n't even have a job . she 's been in trouble with the law . i 've never even had a parking ticket . i mean , i 'm fairly good - looking . kayla : oh , come on . you 're beautiful . stephanie : well , whatever . i guess she is , too , but is that all he cares about ? kayla : well , if it is , then he 's not the guy for you . stephanie : yeah , well , he says it 's not , so why would he choose her over me ? kayla : does he know that you even like him ? stephanie : i do n't know . kayla : well , have you told him ? stephanie : not exactly . kayla : why not ? stephanie : because i 've been down this road way too many times before , you know ? i find some great guy and all he sees me as is a friend . so i go out on a limb and tell him how i feel , and then it ends up getting so complicated that we ca n't even stay friends . so that 's why i have n't told him , because i 'm afraid if i do , i 'll totally lose him . you know what ? i ca n't let that happen , not with this guy , mom . kayla : because you really like him . stephanie : more than i 've ever liked anyone . i mean , all my girlfriends tell me what a great catch i am . so why does n't he see it ? what 's wrong with me , mom ? kayla : oh , baby , come here . oh . [ scene_break ] sami : what 's that ? austin : i do n't know . it 's a letter . it 's addressed to you . the person that left it is probably the same one that lucas saw and chased down the hallway . sami : well , did you open it ? austin : no , it 's addressed to you . it 's yours . lucas : it 's way past time we open that , find out who the hell was sneaking around the hallway . [ scene_break ] kayla : well , you know , maybe you 're not the one who has the problem . maybe he does . stephanie : i do n't think so . kayla : well , you said that he 's got this girlfriend who 's been in trouble with the law , right ? stephanie : yeah , big - time . kayla : well , have you asked yourself why he chooses to ignore that ? stephanie : because he 's kind and understand and nonjudgmental like you are with dad , because he chooses to see the best in people and believes they can change , even if she has n't . kayla : you know , stephanie , i hope you do n't mind me saying this , but he does n't know that you feel this way about him , right ? so maybe he has those feelings for you , but he 's afraid to express them because maybe he thinks that you just want to be friends . when you really like somebody , you need to risk the consequences , just like you risked the consequences telling me that we need to communicate more . stephanie : this is stupid even worrying about this with all the other stuff that 's going on . i mean , i guess i did n't really know my dad , but i had him in my life for like two days . and now maybe i 'll never see him again . kayla : i know your father would n't want you to put your life on hold for him . stephanie : okay . okay , so what if i tell this guy and it turns out like all the other times ? kayla : and what if it does n't ? would n't it be better to know the truth than to live in a fantasy ? stephanie : i 'm not so sure . kayla : do you want to just be friends ? stephanie : no . kayla : well , then , you need to be willing to take the risk . you got to put your cards on the table . that 's who you are , stephanie . i know you can do this . stephanie : well , that depends . kayla : on what ? stephanie : are you willing to do the same thing with dad ? [ scene_break ] della : it 's been a lot of years . you have a whole new life , one you 're happy with . why drag up all this old stuff ? steve : because whoever did this might have other plans now . i ca n't protect myself and the people around me unless i know what i 'm up against . della : you really think you 're in danger ? steve : i do n't know . but if i am , i could be putting your life in danger , too . della : mine ? steve : yeah , yours . listen -- if somebody can stage my death and erase my memory , that somebody 's got a lot of power . they went through a lot of trouble and expense to accomplish all that . they 're not gon na be too happy to find out that it 's wasted because i found out i 'm steve johnson and half of salem knows that i 'm alive . so i have to assume ... that they 're coming after me again . i got to be ready . [ scene_break ] jack : you know , some people may say that you 've had a little too much adventure in your young life . but i say adventure 's a good thing . it 's good . it could be a little scary sometimes , but that 's only because sometimes it takes you from the people you love . jennifer : aunt maggie , he 's getting weaker . maggie : he 's -- he 's just tired . jennifer : no , no , no , this is n't good . it 's not good . maggie : i 'll go get lexie .

be of service . brady : be of serv -- you mean , like what you were doing at the center ? nicole : yeah . you know , the -- the center gives back so much to the community , and they 're always in a money crunch , and like i said , it 's not like we need the m -- brady : so what you 're saying is what you really want to do is keep working at the center . with eric . i 'm ryan and i quit smoking with chantix . nicole : i like working at the center . but brady , this is n't because of eric . brady : what is it because of , then ? nicole : because i like people ; i like helping them . you know , i even wrote a few grants , and julie seems to think we 'll get additional funding . brady : that is great . nicole : brady ... brady , come here . please . this is n't about eric . so ... what do you think ?

edward : i realize you have that you have ultimate faith in jason , and he would move heaven and earth to help you , but there are ways that jason and sonny are limited . and it 's in those ways that i shine . michael : i understand that the quartermaines carry a lot of weight . edward : mm - hmm . more than you know . now , i can help you get out of any trouble that you 're in , but i have to be fully informed . michael : um , it 's no big deal . edward : all right . if that 's what you say , i 'll accept it . but remember , the quartermaines are a family , and you are family , and the family comes first , always . tracy : i do n't think he deserves that privilege . in fact , i think he ought to be disowned and carted off to jail for the damage he did tonight . [ scene_break ] sam : all right , what 's going on ? jason : well , claudia has been admitted to e.r . , but they 're not going to tell me anything else . sam : yeah , well , come on . if claudia rolled her car , we could be talking serious injuries right now , not only to her , but to that baby . jason : and michael is at a critical stage in his recovery . he 's just trying to fit back into his life . knowing that he caused this kind of damage could destroy him . sam : oh , uh , jason , i just do n't understand why you 're so convinced that it was michael . it -- it just as easily could have been kristina who caused this accident . [ scene_break ] alexis : why are you so sure there was another vehicle involved in claudia 's accident ? kristina : it 's common sense , right ? i mean , claudia rolled her car . i just assumed it was because of another driver . alexis : well , could be an animal or maybe she was going so fast that her car lost control . so , i mean , at this point , there 's no indication that there was another vehicle involved . kristina : really ? alexis : mm - hmm . honey , some things just happen randomly . as far as we know , there was no one at fault here . that 's why it 's called an accident . [ scene_break ] [ claudia groans ] sonny : are you saying claudia and the baby could die ? patrick : we 're obviously going to try to prevent that . it 's a very serious situation . what happens to claudia , happens to the baby . johnny : okay , so what 's your game plan ? patrick : we run more tests , get some answers . when we get the answers , we 'll recommend a course of action . we 'll go over the options . sonny : do n't let money be an obstacle . i 'll get specialists , i 'll get consultants . johnny : typical sonny to throw money at a situation , see if it goes away . claudia : come on , john . please no , not now . not here . thank you . thank you . johnny : you know , you can excuse yourself , too . claudia : johnny , i do n't know what 's going on , but this is a catastrophe , and i want my husband with me . [ scene_break ] olivia : why am i so worried about claudia zacchara ? that 's a really good question . that 's a -- that 's an excellent question . it 's right to the point . it 's very direct . it 's just how i like them . so i could return the favor by , um , insulting your intelligence and telling you the whole story about how , you know , i really feel for what she 's going through because i 'm a mother and i can empathize with what she 's feeling , but it would be a complete load of horse crap . complete and total lie . because what i 'm really feeling right now is horribly , horribly guilty because while claudia was rolling her car , i was in my apartment with my tongue halfway down her husband 's throat . carly : what ? olivia : i know . carly : wow . okay , well , i 'm not even going to begin to judge because that would be laughable , but i really hope you know what you 're doing . [ scene_break ] claudia : i ca n't believe this happened . i should have known . sonny : how ? [ claudia scoffs ] claudia : i was -- i was happy , sonny . i was actually happy . and i should have known that that would n't last . i never got the chance to tell you , by the way , the baby is yours . no tricks . dr. lee double checked . she did it in an outside lab . sonny : yeah , i know , i know . 'cause i was -- i was with her checking out the test results when she got a call that you were in an accident . claudia : i was so happy . everything seemed like it was going to be okay . the baby had the right father and ... and now -- i do n't know . i 've never been so scared in my whole life . sonny : you 're a strong woman . you 're gon na use that strength to get you and the baby through this to the other side . [ claudia sniffles ] claudia : patrick said i could die . sonny : that 's not gon na happen . 'cause we 're not gon na let that happen . including you . you 're not giving up , are you ? claudia : no . sonny : i 'm here , okay ? and , you know , i know i have n't stepped up -- [ sighs ] -- but , um , i 'm here right now , and i 'm going to give you every ounce of support and strength that i -- that i have . you have patrick , who i can tell you right now is -- i 've seen him in action . he 's one of the most gifted , talented surgeons i 've ever seen . and ... we 're gon na get through this . claudia : the baby . sonny : the ... the baby has my genes , your genes . so that means he 's the ultimate survivor . what you have to do now -- close your eyes . close your eyes . gather your strength . you 're in for a fight . and the only choice you have is to win it . okay ? [ scene_break ] edward : that 's a little over the top , tracy , even for you . whatever trouble michael might be in , i can get him out of it . michael , just ignore tracy . she blows a lot of hot air , and she will make your life miserable within these walls , but when push comes to shove , the quartermaines always present a united front . tracy : well , obviously you do n't know what happened . michael caused a brawl at the country club . and when chip howell objected , michael called daddy , and daddy showed up with his thugs and threatened to decapitate chip howell 's wife 's prized arabian . [ edward chuckles ] tracy : you find that amusing ? edward : no , no , no . but i think a headless horse might be chip howell 's least worry . if that fool makes my great grandson feel uncomfortable in the country club which was practically built with my money , i can and will find him bankrupt on the street . tracy : so you 're willing to compromise the quartermaine social standing for a corinthos ? because that 's what he is , daddy . and no amount of wishing is going to change that fundamental fact . [ scene_break ] mac : can you estimate the speed claudia was traveling at the time of impact ? man : not yet , but look at the distance her car rolled . mac : so we 're just looking at a single car incident ? i mean , she spun out , rolled , and crashed . lucky : mac . we got a second set of skid marks . mac : which direction ? lucky : opposite . headed straight for claudia . mac : well , that 's it , then . a car appeared in claudia 's lane , approaching fast . she swerved to avoid it and bam . i guess we 're looking for the driver of the other car , lucky . [ scene_break ] sam : okay , the object is to figure out whether or not michael could be responsible for claudia 's crash , so i need to know everything you know . jason : okay , uh , i know that michael 's car slid off the road , at the very least . and i know that he was traveling from the quartermaine 's to jake 's , so that puts him on harbor view road . sam : yeah . and claudia rolled her car near the intersection of harbor view and oak bluff . jason : right . and them michael said that another driver came up on him , was tailgating him . passed him , cut him off . he got angry , he started chasing that car . and then what happened was he took a turn too wide , he ended up in the oncoming lane heading straight toward another car , and that car had to swerve to avoid him . [ sam sighs ] sam : jason , i really , um , i hate to admit this , but it does n't look good for him . [ scene_break ] alexis : honey , will you sit down ? you 're wearing out a path in the carpet . kristina : can you throw the d.a . card ? alexis : well -- kristina : get the hospital to tell you if claudia and the baby are okay ? alexis : why are you so concerned ? kristina : what kind of question is that ? claudia is dad 's wife . she 's having his baby , my little brother or sister . it 's scary to think something terrible might happen to them . alexis : okay . calm down . all right . i promise if i hear anything , i will let you know , okay ? in the meantime , change of subject . all right , tell me , what did you do with ashley today ? kristina : i have to make a confession . alexis : i 'm waiting . you have a confession ? kristina : i have n't been completely honest with you . alexis : you mean you lied ? kristina : i gave you misdirection . okay , i lied . alexis : from the top . kristina : remember when i told you i was at the coffee house with ashley tonight ? alexis : mm - hmm . kristina : i was really out with kiefer . we went to the country club , then we were going to go to a party . but then you called and i felt guilty , so i told him to bring me back here . i know it was wrong of me to lie . i 'm sorry . are you gon na ground me ? alexis : if i had found this out from somebody else , yes , you would be very grounded . but because you were honest and you did n't make the situation any worse -- [ telephone rings ] alexis : you have a reprieve . [ ring ] [ ring ] it 's mac . i have to take it . [ ring ] what 's happening ? mac : we may be looking at a criminal investigation of reckless driving . evidence at the scene indicates another car forced claudia off the road . [ scene_break ] claudia : so , uh , what happens now ? between us , i mean . sonny : all you need to do is focus on getting you and the baby through this . we 'll get over -- through that , you know , when it 's time . [ sighs ] claudia : you disappointed ? sonny : why would i be ? claudia : heh heh . it 's no secret you were planning on dumping me if the baby was ric 's . sonny : we do n't have to get into that right now . that was ... do n't worry about that , okay ? johnny : i 'd like a moment alone with my sister . claudia : mm . okay . okay . sonny : i 'll be right back . claudia : johnny . look , i know what you 're thinking , but me and sonny , we 're gon na work it out . it 's what we both want . johnny : what sonny wants , claudia , does n't have a damn thing to do with you . [ scene_break ] olivia : sonny caught me in a weak moment . okay , i had old music playing on the box and old pictures in my hand and old memories rolling around in my head . and i just -- i know that that 's no excuse . it does n't matter . i know the score . sonny is a married man . he 's a gangster . and now he 's the father of claudia zacchara 's one and only child . i -- i -- kissing him was just the most hypocritical , idiotic thing that i could ... carly : but you did it anyway . olivia : i 'm an idiot . i mean , what can i say ? the man just ... god , he just gets to me . carly : nothing tastes sweeter than the forbidden fruit . now look what happened . olivia : right . and i swear -- i know you 're not going to believe this , but i did not come to port charles looking for a second chance with sonny . i swear . carly : you 're preaching to the choir . i know the sonny drill . you fall hard . and when you realize what you 've gotten yourself into , you try to get out , but it 's too late . you 're already under the spell , the cycle 's already started , and it 's really hard to deny sonny when he 's all needy for you . but it 's a permanent condition . it 's a hole no mortal woman could ever hope to fill . okay , answer me this . if sonny showed up at your door and the baby turned out to be ric 's , so he was free of claudia , free of kate , what would you do ? sonny : answer . i want to hear the answer to that . olivia : if you think that i 'm going to have this conversation with you right here while your wife and your child are fighting for their life , you are sorely mistaken . thank you for listening . carly : anytime . olivia : you 're all in my prayers . sonny : what was that about ? carly : i 'm not going to tell you . how 's claudia ? sonny : i do n't know . i mean , the doctor 's saying one thing . the baby 's at risk , she 's in trouble , and they 're doing tests . what about you ? carly : i 'm good . okay . sonny : you risked your life . why 'd you -- i mean , pulling her out of the car . carly : well , what was i going to do ? i 'm not going to let a pregnant woman go up in flames . by the way , it 's the only reason i saved her . it was scary . there was a gas leak . and i do have to tell you , she was all about saving that baby . sonny : it 's my baby now , too . and so far , i have n't been much of a father . [ scene_break ] [ cell phone rings ] michael : hey . kristina : did you hear ? michael : what ? kristina : claudia got into a terrible accident tonight . she swerved to avoid an oncoming car and wiped out . [ scene_break ] jason : we ca n't know for sure if kristina was driving near claudia 's crash site . what we do know , on the other hand , is michael admits that he was almost in a head - on collision in that area . sam : all right , so i guess now the question becomes that if michael is responsible for claudia 's accident , what are you gon na do about it ? jason : what else can i do but cover for him ? sam : jason , what if -- what if the baby dies ? what if they both die ? jason : i mean , i 'd be sorry , but it was n't michael 's fault . it was an accident . sam : ohh . i do n't -- i do n't know about this . jason : what -- sam : i just -- i do n't know . this just hits so many levels right now . i do n't know . the ... start with the first one . you 're telling me right now that you are willing to help michael get away with vehicular manslaughter ? jason : sam , you know it 's more complicated than that . michael can not carry this burden right now . knowing that he did this when he should n't even be driving that stupid car in the first place could set him all the way back to zero . he 's been through too much . the kid 's lost enough . sam : i get it . i do . i get it . jason : okay , then i 'm going to have to ask you to keep this between us . sam : no , you do n't . jason , that obviously goes without saying . jason : thank you . [ sighs ] i should get to the hospital . sonny has to know about this . sam : ugh . i do not envy you for having to tell him this . jason : i mean , i 'm the one who feels bad because if michael is responsible for claudia 's accident , sonny 's the one who gave him the car . [ scene_break ] sonny : so , here 's the deal . ric and claudia were sleeping together before we got married . they did n't see any reason to stop with -- eh , no surprise there . so this whole time i 've been waiting for the amnio to find out if i 'm the baby 's father . and i got to tell you , a big part of me wanted it to be ric 's so i can stop the madness , walk away from her , walk away from the marriage . and as you know , tonight i find out the baby 's mine . definitely . and now the baby is at risk , claudia 's at risk , so for some unspeakable , twisted ... i 'm getting what i want . carly : hey . sonny : come on . carly : you did n't ask for this . sonny : yeah , i know , but ... carly : you said `` his . `` sonny : yeah , it 's a boy . another boy . another chance to get it right , hold onto it , if i do n't screw it up . carly : good luck with that . sonny : i 'll take that . i got to go . [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] claudia : please , johnny , i 'm begging you . i never needed anything more from you in all of our lives . just tell me that you 'll make an effort with sonny . johnny : claudia , why are you fighting so hard for somebody that wo n't even lift a finger for you ? claudia : i want my son to know both of his parents . i want him to be able to look around and see that he 's surrounded by his friends and family and extended family , and i need you , i need ... i need his uncle to help me make that happen . just say you 'll try with sonny . please . [ scene_break ] patrick : sorry to interrupt . how are you feeling ? claudia : you know . why is she here ? patrick : i asked robin to consult . robin : if you do n't want my help , i understand . claudia : no , i 'm sorry . i -- i 'm sorry . i could use all the help i can get right now . sonny : what are we looking at ? patrick : all the test results are n't in yet , but i wanted you to be prepared . the situation may not resolve itself . we might have to intervene . claudia : and intervening might be harmful to the baby , right ? [ scene_break ] michael : is alexis here ? kristina : at her office dealing with claudia 's accident . michael : i need you to tell me everything you know about it . kristina : why are you so freaked out ? michael : just tell me . kristina : mom said the police think a driver coming from the opposite direction swerved into claudia 's lane , and she tried to avoid the car and rolled . michael : where was the crash ? kristina : harbor view road . [ scene_break ] [ knock on door ] alexis : oh , good . sam : uh , a little late to be at the office , do n't you think ? alexis : all right , i want to talk to you about something , and i really do n't want kristina and molly to know about this if at all possible . sam : okay . alexis : i did something -- i did another stupid thing . sam : oh , no . alexis : all right , wait . let me back up . i was having a conversation with molly about this mayor floyd thing . and she said to me , `` mommy , all these people are lying about you . why are n't you doing anything ? `` and i thought , well , she 's right . why am i being so passive ? sam : oh , no . alexis : so i came up with the brilliant idea to go over to mayor floyd 's house . sam : yeah , you did something stupid . alexis : i tol -- i already admitted that it was stupid . so i thought i could appeal to his better nature . apparently he does n't have one . but what he does have is a wife who is crazy like a bat . so i get into an argument with her , and that 's when i realize that mayor floyd has security cameras . so now there 's footage of me stomping up to the door and -- if anyone gets a hold of that footage , i might as well just pack up and move . sam : wait a minute . mayor floyd lives on harbor view road , does n't he ? alexis : yeah . [ scene_break ] olivia : what part of `` go back to brooklyn `` did you not understand ? dominic : wow . if i was n't so well - adjusted , i might be hurt that my ma does n't want me to hang around . olivia : do n't even joke like that , honey . you know that you 're my heart and you 're my soul , and you 've been the center of my life since the day you were born . it took all the self control that i had not to -- not to epoxy myself to you and monitor your every breath like mrs. luccese did for poor sal . dominic : hey , how is sal ? is he still doing 5 to 10 at attica ? olivia : from the day that you were born , i promised myself that my perfect little baby boy was never going to suffer from having a too dumb , too young mother who did n't have a clue how to raise him . okay , i swore that i would figure it out somehow and that you were gon na grow up to be strong and smart and respectful of women and well - adjusted . and you know what , i busted my ass , but i did a pretty good job 'cause i got you through and you 're this wonderful man . and i would really like to keep it that way , sweetie , okay ? so i would really appreciate a little bit of cooperation here . you need to get our ass out of town . dominic : what the hell is wrong with you ? [ scene_break ] johnny : the most important thing here is we do what 's best and safest for my sister . sonny : what are we looking at ? patrick : i 'm not ready to make any recommendations just yet . all the test results are n't in . if they do say what i 'm anticipating , we 're going to have to access whether medication is going to be helpful . we 'll see what comes in , and we 'll go from there . claudia : what ... i want to do whatever 's best for the baby , that 's for sure . sonny : okay , patrick 's right . we should n't speculate . right ? patrick : as soon as test results are in , we 'll come back . sonny : i 'll be right back . claudia : do you see that ? do you see how much he 's trying ? johnny : you 're seeing what you want to see . claudia : no , john . what you 're refusing to see is that this baby , he 's changing everything . [ johnny scoffs ] claudia : no , really . i mean , including me . i ... i realize that everything i used to scoff at is true . you do fall deeply , madly forever in love , and you realize that something more important than you exists and miracles do happen . my baby 's the reason for everything . and i know that sonny feels the same way . i know he does . [ scene_break ] sonny : robin . robin : hmm ? sonny : uh , listen , i need to know the reality here , both of you . if the test results come back , right , and something confirms that there 's something wrong in her brain that needs to be treated , what are the chances of my baby surviving ? robin : dr. lee is better equipped to answer that question . but i can tell you that the baby is at risk no matter what treatment plan patrick recommends . sonny : wow . patrick : as soon as we have something definite , sonny . [ sonny sighs ] p.a . : dr. sophie metzger , please report to the ... jason : hey . i 'm just -- sonny : the d.n.a . test results came back . it 's confirmed i 'm the baby 's father . you want to know who told me ? johnny . he found me and olivia kissing . i was thinking there 's no way in hell it 's -- it 's -- you know , the baby 's mine . i mean , i -- i mean , you know , claudia had test results . she never called me . and i was already anticipating a life without her , of being with olivia . i denied my unborn child because he came with an inconvenient mother . he did n't fit into my selfish plans . and now my son ... might die . and i may never ... get a chance to know him . [ scene_break ] dominic : you 're rambling . the way you do when you get really upset . who do i have to kill to make you feel better ? olivia : me . you need to kill me so i can stop making all these terrible , stupid choices . dominic : stupid choices . like what ? olivia : like the kind that haunt you for the rest of your life . and they do n't go away no matter how many years and no matter how many miles . dominic : now you 're being cryptic . it 's even worse than i thought . olivia : do you remember carmen morello ? dominic : sure . yeah . aunt carmen . i mean , all your friends were somehow aunts . but yeah , what about her ? olivia : yeah , she got -- she got involved with this , uh , with this married hotshot lawyer had an office in the city . she dated that guy for years . dominic : careful , mom , i 'm easily shocked . olivia : yeah . i told her once -- if i told her once , i told her a million times , `` carm , you got ta get rid of this guy . he 's not going to leave his wife and kids for you . and why should he ? `` the dude had the best of both worlds . but the lady was convinced that he was gon na marry her and they were gon na ride off into some rosy sunset together . how do you think that story ends ? dominic : aunt carmen got her heart stomped on and handed back to her . olivia : give the kid a prize . i swore that i was never gon na go down that road myself . dominic : so , ma , tell me if i 'm hearing this right . have you got yourself hooked up with a married man ? [ scene_break ] jason : i know -- i know it looks bad , but we really do n't know what 's going to happen . you may get that second chance to say what you want . sonny : if i -- if i did , you know , i 'll step up and be the father that ... this boy deserves . and i 'd treat his mother like she should be treated . what i did with olivia was wrong . i got to concentrate on my family , if god sees fit to let me have them . but i do believe that olivia should know . i 'm not saying that she 's waiting around for me to -- i do n't know what she 's -- to have a life with her or something . but i -- do me a favor , will you ? can you go to her ? just tell her what ... what i 'm saying , you know . jason : is that what you want ? sonny : yeah . p.a . : samantha barros to icu . stat . jason : okay . sonny : jason . you want to say something to me ? jason : no . no , it can wait .

[ scene_break ] alexis : so it 's widely suspected by law enforcement that damian spinelli has perfected the art of breeching security camera codes and making the footage just disappear . sam : okay , all right . i get it . so you want me to ask spinelli if he can eliminate any visual evidence of you being at mayor floyd 's house . alexis : yes , please . sam : all right , yeah . alexis : will you ? sam : i will definitely see what i can do . what time were you there around ? alexis : a little before 9 : 00 . sam : okay . all right . and you said that you got into a little bit of an argument with his wife . alexis : she 's a very unpleasant woman . sam : which means that you were probably a little bit upset , right ? alexis : well , yeah . sam : okay . um , how did you get back ? alexis : in my car . sam : what direction ? alexis : harbor view road and adams lane . why does that matter ? sam : it does n't .

<s>[INST] edward : i realize you have that you have ultimate faith in jason , and he would move heaven and earth to help you , but there are ways that jason and sonny are limited . and it 's in those ways that i shine . michael : i understand that the quartermaines carry a lot of weight . edward : mm - hmm . more than you know . now , i can help you get out of any trouble that you 're in , but i have to be fully informed . michael : um , it 's no big deal . edward : all right . if that 's what you say , i 'll accept it . but remember , the quartermaines are a family , and you are family , and the family comes first , always . tracy : i do n't think he deserves that privilege . in fact , i think he ought to be disowned and carted off to jail for the damage he did tonight . [ scene_break ] sam : all right , what 's going on ? jason : well , claudia has been admitted to e.r . , but they 're not going to tell me anything else . sam : yeah , well , come on . if claudia rolled her car , we could be talking serious injuries right now , not only to her , but to that baby . jason : and michael is at a critical stage in his recovery . he 's just trying to fit back into his life . knowing that he caused this kind of damage could destroy him . sam : oh , uh , jason , i just do n't understand why you 're so convinced that it was michael . it -- it just as easily could have been kristina who caused this accident . [ scene_break ] alexis : why are you so sure there was another vehicle involved in claudia 's accident ? kristina : it 's common sense , right ? i mean , claudia rolled her car . i just assumed it was because of another driver . alexis : well , could be an animal or maybe she was going so fast that her car lost control . so , i mean , at this point , there 's no indication that there was another vehicle involved . kristina : really ? alexis : mm - hmm . honey , some things just happen randomly . as far as we know , there was no one at fault here . that 's why it 's called an accident . [ scene_break ] [ claudia groans ] sonny : are you saying claudia and the baby could die ? patrick : we 're obviously going to try to prevent that . it 's a very serious situation . what happens to claudia , happens to the baby . johnny : okay , so what 's your game plan ? patrick : we run more tests , get some answers . when we get the answers , we 'll recommend a course of action . we 'll go over the options . sonny : do n't let money be an obstacle . i 'll get specialists , i 'll get consultants . johnny : typical sonny to throw money at a situation , see if it goes away . claudia : come on , john . please no , not now . not here . thank you . thank you . johnny : you know , you can excuse yourself , too . claudia : johnny , i do n't know what 's going on , but this is a catastrophe , and i want my husband with me . [ scene_break ] olivia : why am i so worried about claudia zacchara ? that 's a really good question . that 's a -- that 's an excellent question . it 's right to the point . it 's very direct . it 's just how i like them . so i could return the favor by , um , insulting your intelligence and telling you the whole story about how , you know , i really feel for what she 's going through because i 'm a mother and i can empathize with what she 's feeling , but it would be a complete load of horse crap . complete and total lie . because what i 'm really feeling right now is horribly , horribly guilty because while claudia was rolling her car , i was in my apartment with my tongue halfway down her husband 's throat . carly : what ? olivia : i know . carly : wow . okay , well , i 'm not even going to begin to judge because that would be laughable , but i really hope you know what you 're doing . [ scene_break ] claudia : i ca n't believe this happened . i should have known . sonny : how ? [ claudia scoffs ] claudia : i was -- i was happy , sonny . i was actually happy . and i should have known that that would n't last . i never got the chance to tell you , by the way , the baby is yours . no tricks . dr. lee double checked . she did it in an outside lab . sonny : yeah , i know , i know . 'cause i was -- i was with her checking out the test results when she got a call that you were in an accident . claudia : i was so happy . everything seemed like it was going to be okay . the baby had the right father and ... and now -- i do n't know . i 've never been so scared in my whole life . sonny : you 're a strong woman . you 're gon na use that strength to get you and the baby through this to the other side . [ claudia sniffles ] claudia : patrick said i could die . sonny : that 's not gon na happen . 'cause we 're not gon na let that happen . including you . you 're not giving up , are you ? claudia : no . sonny : i 'm here , okay ? and , you know , i know i have n't stepped up -- [ sighs ] -- but , um , i 'm here right now , and i 'm going to give you every ounce of support and strength that i -- that i have . you have patrick , who i can tell you right now is -- i 've seen him in action . he 's one of the most gifted , talented surgeons i 've ever seen . and ... we 're gon na get through this . claudia : the baby . sonny : the ... the baby has my genes , your genes . so that means he 's the ultimate survivor . what you have to do now -- close your eyes . close your eyes . gather your strength . you 're in for a fight . and the only choice you have is to win it . okay ? [ scene_break ] edward : that 's a little over the top , tracy , even for you . whatever trouble michael might be in , i can get him out of it . michael , just ignore tracy . she blows a lot of hot air , and she will make your life miserable within these walls , but when push comes to shove , the quartermaines always present a united front . tracy : well , obviously you do n't know what happened . michael caused a brawl at the country club . and when chip howell objected , michael called daddy , and daddy showed up with his thugs and threatened to decapitate chip howell 's wife 's prized arabian . [ edward chuckles ] tracy : you find that amusing ? edward : no , no , no . but i think a headless horse might be chip howell 's least worry . if that fool makes my great grandson feel uncomfortable in the country club which was practically built with my money , i can and will find him bankrupt on the street . tracy : so you 're willing to compromise the quartermaine social standing for a corinthos ? because that 's what he is , daddy . and no amount of wishing is going to change that fundamental fact . [ scene_break ] mac : can you estimate the speed claudia was traveling at the time of impact ? man : not yet , but look at the distance her car rolled . mac : so we 're just looking at a single car incident ? i mean , she spun out , rolled , and crashed . lucky : mac . we got a second set of skid marks . mac : which direction ? lucky : opposite . headed straight for claudia . mac : well , that 's it , then . a car appeared in claudia 's lane , approaching fast . she swerved to avoid it and bam . i guess we 're looking for the driver of the other car , lucky . [ scene_break ] sam : okay , the object is to figure out whether or not michael could be responsible for claudia 's crash , so i need to know everything you know . jason : okay , uh , i know that michael 's car slid off the road , at the very least . and i know that he was traveling from the quartermaine 's to jake 's , so that puts him on harbor view road . sam : yeah . and claudia rolled her car near the intersection of harbor view and oak bluff . jason : right . and them michael said that another driver came up on him , was tailgating him . passed him , cut him off . he got angry , he started chasing that car . and then what happened was he took a turn too wide , he ended up in the oncoming lane heading straight toward another car , and that car had to swerve to avoid him . [ sam sighs ] sam : jason , i really , um , i hate to admit this , but it does n't look good for him . [ scene_break ] alexis : honey , will you sit down ? you 're wearing out a path in the carpet . kristina : can you throw the d.a . card ? alexis : well -- kristina : get the hospital to tell you if claudia and the baby are okay ? alexis : why are you so concerned ? kristina : what kind of question is that ? claudia is dad 's wife . she 's having his baby , my little brother or sister . it 's scary to think something terrible might happen to them . alexis : okay . calm down . all right . i promise if i hear anything , i will let you know , okay ? in the meantime , change of subject . all right , tell me , what did you do with ashley today ? kristina : i have to make a confession . alexis : i 'm waiting . you have a confession ? kristina : i have n't been completely honest with you . alexis : you mean you lied ? kristina : i gave you misdirection . okay , i lied . alexis : from the top . kristina : remember when i told you i was at the coffee house with ashley tonight ? alexis : mm - hmm . kristina : i was really out with kiefer . we went to the country club , then we were going to go to a party . but then you called and i felt guilty , so i told him to bring me back here . i know it was wrong of me to lie . i 'm sorry . are you gon na ground me ? alexis : if i had found this out from somebody else , yes , you would be very grounded . but because you were honest and you did n't make the situation any worse -- [ telephone rings ] alexis : you have a reprieve . [ ring ] [ ring ] it 's mac . i have to take it .

[ scene_break ] olivia : sonny caught me in a weak moment . okay , i had old music playing on the box and old pictures in my hand and old memories rolling around in my head . and i just -- i know that that 's no excuse . it does n't matter . i know the score . sonny is a married man . he 's a gangster . and now he 's the father of claudia zacchara 's one and only child . i -- i -- kissing him was just the most hypocritical , idiotic thing that i could ... carly : but you did it anyway . olivia : i 'm an idiot . i mean , what can i say ? the man just ... god , he just gets to me . carly : nothing tastes sweeter than the forbidden fruit . now look what happened . olivia : right . and i swear -- i know you 're not going to believe this , but i did not come to port charles looking for a second chance with sonny . i swear . carly : you 're preaching to the choir . i know the sonny drill . you fall hard . and when you realize what you 've gotten yourself into , you try to get out , but it 's too late . you 're already under the spell , the cycle 's already started , and it 's really hard to deny sonny when he 's all needy for you . but it 's a permanent condition . it 's a hole no mortal woman could ever hope to fill . okay , answer me this . if sonny showed up at your door and the baby turned out to be ric 's , so he was free of claudia , free of kate , what would you do ? sonny : answer . i want to hear the answer to that . olivia : if you think that i 'm going to have this conversation with you right here while your wife and your child are fighting for their life , you are sorely mistaken . thank you for listening . carly : anytime . olivia : you 're all in my prayers . sonny : what was that about ? carly : i 'm not going to tell you . how 's claudia ? sonny : i do n't know . i mean , the doctor 's saying one thing . the baby 's at risk , she 's in trouble , and they 're doing tests . what about you ? carly : i 'm good . okay . sonny : you risked your life . why 'd you -- i mean , pulling her out of the car . carly : well , what was i going to do ? i 'm not going to let a pregnant woman go up in flames . by the way , it 's the only reason i saved her . it was scary . there was a gas leak . and i do have to tell you , she was all about saving that baby . sonny : it 's my baby now , too . and so far , i have n't been much of a father . [ scene_break ] [ cell phone rings ] michael : hey . kristina : did you hear ? michael : what ? kristina : claudia got into a terrible accident tonight . she swerved to avoid an oncoming car and wiped out . [ scene_break ] jason : we ca n't know for sure if kristina was driving near claudia 's crash site . what we do know , on the other hand , is michael admits that he was almost in a head - on collision in that area . sam : all right , so i guess now the question becomes that if michael is responsible for claudia 's accident , what are you gon na do about it ? jason : what else can i do but cover for him ? sam : jason , what if -- what if the baby dies ? what if they both die ? jason : i mean , i 'd be sorry , but it was n't michael 's fault . it was an accident . sam : ohh . i do n't -- i do n't know about this . jason : what -- sam : i just -- i do n't know . this just hits so many levels right now . i do n't know . the ... start with the first one . you 're telling me right now that you are willing to help michael get away with vehicular manslaughter ? jason : sam , you know it 's more complicated than that . michael can not carry this burden right now . knowing that he did this when he should n't even be driving that stupid car in the first place could set him all the way back to zero . he 's been through too much . the kid 's lost enough . sam : i get it . i do . i get it . jason : okay , then i 'm going to have to ask you to keep this between us . sam : no , you do n't . jason , that obviously goes without saying . jason : thank you . [ sighs ] i should get to the hospital . sonny has to know about this . sam : ugh . i do not envy you for having to tell him this . jason : i mean , i 'm the one who feels bad because if michael is responsible for claudia 's accident , sonny 's the one who gave him the car . [ scene_break ] sonny : so , here 's the deal . ric and claudia were sleeping together before we got married . they did n't see any reason to stop with -- eh , no surprise there . so this whole time i 've been waiting for the amnio to find out if i 'm the baby 's father . and i got to tell you , a big part of me wanted it to be ric 's so i can stop the madness , walk away from her , walk away from the marriage . and as you know , tonight i find out the baby 's mine . definitely . and now the baby is at risk , claudia 's at risk , so for some unspeakable , twisted ... i 'm getting what i want . carly : hey . sonny : come on . carly : you did n't ask for this . sonny : yeah , i know , but ... carly : you said `` his . `` sonny : yeah , it 's a boy . another boy . another chance to get it right , hold onto it , if i do n't screw it up . carly : good luck with that . sonny : i 'll take that . i got to go .

[ computer keys clacking ] spinelli : well , i 'm sure your mother and sisters just want to comfort you . sam : no , they have already written jason off . and i expected better from you . spinelli : sam , i spent all morning in a wet suit diving off pier 52 . the -- the current had slowed considerably , but the water was freezing . i got a chill even with the proper equipment . there was no sign of jason . sam : okay . well , like you said , the current was really strong . i 'm sure jason drifted down shore a little bit . spinelli : the authorities disagree . they did a sweep of the shoreline , and -- and they come off empty . the coast guard speculates that -- jason 's body was carried -- sam : do n't . do n't . do n't say `` his body . `` do n't assume that he 's gone . spinelli : the police say his death is all but confirmed . sam : we are not the police , spinelli . we can see things that -- that they do n't . we can take on cases that they ca n't . i know i 'm right about this , just like i was right about todd hiding something in his safe about my baby . i know . i know that jason is alive . [ scene_break ] todd : uh , bills , you know . work really piled up when i was cooling my heels in lockup . feeling better ? carly : do you want the polite answer or the real answer ? todd : let 's go for real . i hate polite . carly : i mean -- if jason 's gone , i do n't really -- know how i do this , you know ? i do n't know what my life is gon na be like . jason never failed me . ever . and i always knew that everything was gon na be okay , because jason was always there . no matter what happened . always on my side , even when he knew i was wrong . he was there when every one of my kids was born . he looked after them , especially michael . todd : yeah , you said he was great with michael . carly : he was . he was perfect . and he was a perfect father . it 's why it 's just so unfair that he did n't get to raise a child of his own . just -- todd : he seemed pretty attached to sam 's kid when i saw him at the hospital . carly : yeah . [ chuckles ] i really wish daniel would have turned out to be jason 's , you know . then he would n't be completely gone . there 'd be a part of jason still here . [ scene_break ] lulu : all right , well what if duke is exactly who he says he is ? he 's a victim of circumstance , and after all these years in captivity , he 's come back because of his love for anna . luke : `` a , `` i do n't believe it . `` b , `` so what ? i do n't care . she 's taken . lulu : does she think that ? luke : well , maybe `` taken `` is a little strong . she 's otherwise involved . we 've got a good thing going . [ chuckling ] we really do . i 'm not gon na let this spud mess it up . lulu : but he 's still her husband . luke : thank you for that . lulu : i 'm sorry . i know -- i know that this is frustrating , but obviously anna sees it differently than you do . luke : look , let 's talk about you and your cop husband . how 's the parenthood thing going ? is it all on track and everything ? oh . what ? did i put my foot in my mouth ? lulu : it turns out that dante and i ca n't have a child , after all . luke : oh . sperm problems ? lulu : it 's me . luke : you ? what ? lulu : i have a condition where i can get pregnant , but i will miscarry sometime in the second trimester , so -- anytime dante and i create a baby , i will lose it . luke : i 'm so sorry . lulu : but it 's not the end . luke : no . what 's this ? lulu : supposed to be alternatives . i mean , i guess there 's more to parenthood than giving birth , right ? [ scene_break ] alexis : i know it must be very difficult to reconcile the -- the -- what you know about the man who raised you with what you now know about -- trey : you know , let 's just skip the psychoanalysis with me , right . i 'm not the one that needs a shrink . sonny : you 're right . it 's your mother who needs treatment . that 's why we need your help . trey : i do n't have to help you . alexis : i 'm not making light of your suffering , trey . you were abandoned . i 'm just asking that you try to understand what got her to that point . trey : why should i care ? alexis : because you have the chance to ask questions to things that you never had answers to . you have a chance to get love from a mother that you -- you never knew . but we need kate back . she needs to get the treatment . you 're gon na lose your mother before you even get a chance to know her if you do n't help us . [ scene_break ] starr : if you say one more thing about my daughter , you will -- connie : why is everybody slapping me today ? michael : let 's get out of here . starr : no , i am not going anywhere , not when you throw cole and hope in my face when they 're the reason that they 're gone ! connie : cue the violins . starr : you murdered two people ! connie : no , i did not ! get your facts straight ! i did n't murder nobody , and i 'm sick of taking the rap ! [ scene_break ] todd : you really think it would make such a huge difference if -- if jason were a father ? carly : well , yeah . i mean , that child would be one last tie to him . todd : yeah , but kids do n't grow up to be like their parents . i mean , take me for instance . i know it 's hard to believe , but i 'm actually an improvement over mine . carly : but a - a piece of them would still be here , you know ? todd : you think sam feels the same way ? carly : i know how i would feel . i mean , if i got to look in that little baby 's eyes and still feel close to my friend , if i got to watch that little boy grow up into a strong man like jason , i think that would mean everything . sam has to feel the same way . she was married to jason . they were gon na raise that little boy together . i 'm sorry , okay ? i 'm sorry . i should n't be going on and on . todd : i - i - i ca n't -- [ knock on door ] carly : um -- diane : hello . i thought i would save you a stamp . hello , carly . carly : hi , diane . [ door closes ] diane : i am so sorry to hear about jason and bernie , of course . what a wonderful man . true professional . it 's a great loss . carly : it is . diane : i 've tried to call . well , i actually just left a message for max . i 'm assuming he 's doing damage control . but when you see him , please give him my condolences . todd : condolences for the bodyguard . diane : we all worked together very closely for many years . i had tremendous respect for bernie and for jason , of course . i know how close the two of you were . he was adamant that you and your children always be taken care of . of course , to me , you never seemed particularly helpless . [ chuckles ] but he was -- he was determined . he would literally have done anything for you . carly : um , you guys have work to do , so i 'm -- i 'm gon na get out of here . todd : uh , carly -- carly : it 's okay . look , i 'm fine . i 'm good . and , uh . -- thank you for listening and being here . it meant a lot . and thank you for always taking care of jason . i mean , i know you were paid . but you kept him free , and i know he appreciated that . diane : i ca n't believe he 's gone . i thought he was indestructible . carly : we all did . [ scene_break ] sam : look , i think jason was pulled out into the channel . i 've been researching currents and shipping lanes . spinelli : okay . with a current of one knot , a person of his height and weight would move at the rate of just under -- sam : yes ? yes ? yes ? come on . so , you think it 's possible , right ? jason could be out there somewhere . spinelli : [ sniffs ] you want my professional opinion ? sam : yes . please . spinelli : well , the job of a private eye is to investigate his client 's suspicions without prejudice and follow clues to the truth . sam : yes . okay , that 's good enough for me . spinelli : all right , well , let 's start at the beginning . sam : all right . [ scene_break ] anna : i need a list of everyone who came into contact with scully this year , so i need his phone records , computer , everything , the works . dante : i 'll get a copy of the visitor logs for atlantic city . he did about a month in lockup before charges were dropped . anna : need to interview the guards , cell mates , any associates . dante : hey , you know what ? the m.e . says that he had proper medical care for that bullet wound in his shoulder , something above and beyond whatever tracy did for him . anna : well , he did n't go to the hospital , so we need to find out where he went after the quartermaines . dante : well , he went underground . he was gone for a week . anna : you think he was holed up with this individual ? you know , the one the son mentioned ? maybe it 's the -- [ clattering noise ] [ scene_break ] luke : adoption , huh ? that 's a big decision . lulu : we have n't made any decisions . i mean , we really even have n't had a chance to talk about much . up until a couple days ago , i was still very focused on getting pregnant . luke : well , it 's a cold , old world out there , and there are a lot of kids -- broken - hearted who need love and a home . so , if you 're willing to open your arms to them , i 'm proud of you . lulu : [ sighs ] luke : you 're gon na make an amazing mother . lulu : thank you . it 's just been a long couple days . i need to talk things over with dante , just like you need to talk with anna . [ scene_break ] dante : police ! anna : anyone there ? dante : well , no one there , but we definitely had a visitor . anna : a visitor with very expensive taste . look at that . [ scene_break ] luke : anna knows more about how suspicious this lavery character is than she wants to admit . lulu : i meant you need to talk about your relationship . luke : relationship ? lulu : be honest with your feelings and what you have to offer . luke : oh , darling , i do n't know that i have anything to offer . probably nothing except i appreciate the woman she is . lulu : well , do n't tell me that . tell her . luke : well , you know , commitment is not really my thing . lulu : hmm . compared to duke , who stayed committed to her through all those rough years in prison . luke : hey , this is not helping . lulu : i am just telling you what you 're up against . luke : i know what i 'm up against . i just do n't know how to handle it . lulu : i think that you should focus on proving why you are the right man for anna instead of trying to prove that duke is the wrong one . luke : hmm . duke : luke spencer . what a surprise . [ scene_break ] alexis : do n't you want a relationship with your mother ? trey : why ? she never wanted one with me . connie threw me out like a piece of trash , and kate forgot i even existed . sonny : trey , she did n't know you existed . she was a sweet , loving person until your father crushed her and raped her . trey : you do n't know that . sonny : kate is sick ! that 's the bottom line here ! you 're the only one who can get her in treatment . do you understand what i 'm saying ? trey : yeah , i understand perfectly clear . and you hate having to ask me , do n't you ? you know what ? it turns out you wasted your time . sonny : have you heard anything that we 've said to you at all ? trey : yeah , i heard everything i need to hear , and now i would like you to leave . see , i have to make arrangements to bury my father . [ scene_break ] starr : what do you mean , you took the rap ? you 're the one that killed cole and hope . michael : kate confessed that you shot out anthony 's tires . you 're saying it was somebody else ? connie : no . i fired the gun . i just did n't murder anybody . starr : sure you did ! michael : your actions led directly to their deaths . that 's how murder works . connie : is it my fault that cole lost control of his car , and he 's a lousy driver ? starr : you 're saying that cole caused his own death , the death of our daughter ? ! connie : i got nothing more to say . carly : i do . get the hell out of my hotel . [ scene_break ] spinelli : uh , the current last night was particularly -- oh , my .

[ scene_break ] todd : here you go . diane : [ chuckles ] what ? no -- no bonus for freeing a guilty man ? todd : i 'm not sure i know what you mean . diane : well , let 's connect the dots , shall we ? todd : uh , i do n't know . if i start chatting with you , are you gon na bill me for that , too ? diane : mm - hmm . so , you fire me , a best - selling author with a rabid fanbase , and you hire heather webber to write my column . now , that tells me that she 's got you over a barrel . and given the nature of the charges brought against you , i 'll just bet she actually has some proof that you were involved in the baby switch . todd : are you blackmailing me ? diane : oh , heavens no . do n't be ridiculous . no , i 'm perfectly fine with my fee . besides , i could n't come forward anyway . [ sniffs ] attorney / client privilege . i 'd be disbarred . todd : so , if i decide to have a little chat with you -- it would be in the strictest of confidence ? diane : why ? do you have something else to confess ? todd : for the sake of argument , let 's just say that i did know all along that sam 's baby was alive . diane : [ exhales deeply ] well , it 's reprehensible , but you 're not the first person in the world to ever conceal a child 's paternity . todd : so , you represent a lot of baby switchers ? diane : my clients pay me for my discretion , mr. manning . i will not discuss their affairs with you , nor will i discuss yours with them . however , hypothetically speaking , if you actively participated in -- keeping sam 's child from her and then delivered said child to téa delgado , then yes , you could be charged with kidnapping . and i would strongly advise you not to mention these alleged activities to anyone . todd : i told my daughter . diane : you told your daughter ? all right , well , uh , how old is your daughter , how desperate is she for money , and what is the current status of your relationship ? todd : well , we kind of have this relationship where we tell one another the truth . diane : the truth . how new . how fresh . todd : i could n't lie to her . diane : no , but apparently you have no trouble lying to anyone else . todd : no . none at all . i just , i got in this bad situation , and i did n't have a lot of options . i 've done everything that i could since then to try and make this right . diane : you know , i am -- i believe that i have misread you , mr. manning . and here i thought you would have no trouble with things like conscience and scruples . todd : no , i do n't . it 's just , when it comes to certain people . diane : would any of these certain people be likely to testify against you in a court of law ? todd : [ chuckling ] and i almost told someone else , but -- they 'd hate me for it . diane : right , and we -- we ca n't have carly hating you . todd : i never said carly . diane : oh , please . after that fond farewell i just witnessed ? who else could it be ? [ scene_break ] connie : this is my hotel as much as it is yours . carly : my best friend is missing and presumed dead . i can not handle your insanity right now , so you get out or i will have you -- starr : do n't worry about it , carly , because connie 's gon na be committed . connie : wrong . my loving husband would never do that to me . starr : your son will . trey 's with sonny and alexis right now signing the papers as we speak to put you away . connie : crap . that 's what sonny meant when he said johnny was n't the only one . michael : the only place you 're going is back to shadybrook . connie : no , wrong , kid . because if sonny had a court order , he 'd have the white coats here with him . and let me guess . the little bastard hates sonny more than he hates me . [ scene_break ] anna : ah , it 's in pretty good condition . means it has n't been here long . i do n't think it has anything to do with the shooting last night , though . dante : it could . it 's a pretty good vantage point , clear line of sight for seeing bernie and joe and jason showing up . anna : all right . so if we 're correct and scully was under orders to take out bernie , and then whoever gave those orders , maybe they showed up , they wanted to supervise in person , and they saw things were n't going as planned , and the second shooter stepped in to finish the job . dante : sam . sam : oh , hi . hi , dante . anna : hi , sam . sam : hi . anna : i 'm so sorry for your loss . and is this little baby -- hi , i 'm so happy that you guys are reunited again . sam : i 'm just trying to find my husband . anna : [ sighs ] this is a crime scene right now . we 're just beginning to -- spinelli : well , i 'm sure the commissioner remembers that we are licensed investigators . sam : yes , we are . so , what were you saying about second shooter ? [ scene_break ] duke : i 'm looking for john zacchara or lesley lu falconeri . lulu : that would be me . lulu spencer - falconeri . duke : spencer ? luke : she 's my daughter , as if you did n't know it . lulu : what can i do for you ? duke : well , i 'm actually -- i 'm looking for a job . i 'm sure your father 's filled you in . i 've been gone for quite a while , through no choice of my own , and i 'm hoping to reestablish myself . luke : of all the gin joints in all the towns in all the world , you had to come in to my daughter 's . duke : i had no idea that this was a spencer operation . i 've been to all the nightclubs in town looking to see if anyone needs a manager . i used to have my -- my own club here in port charles . it was -- you may have heard of it . it was called duke 's . luke : ooh . creative . duke : i wo n't waste any more of your time . please excuse me . lulu : uh , mr. lavery , wait . [ scene_break ] todd : carly ca n't find out that i lied about the baby . diane : well , then it 's a good thing you did n't tell her . i 'm certainly not going to tell her . your daughter is the one to worry about . todd : carly kept going on about how she really wanted it to be jason 's baby , that -- that jason would somehow live on through this kid . diane : yeah , well , i 'm certain that carly was speaking out of pure emotion . unfortunately , franco is the biological father . todd : yeah -- maybe , maybe -- maybe not . diane : would you care to clarify that ? todd : franco 's not the father . jason is . diane : what 's that ? todd : heather switched the dna test to make everybody think that franco was the father , but this is the real dna test . diane : and this is proof that jason is the biological father ? there 's no doubt ? todd : uh , no . diane : well , then , yes . you are absolutely correct . carly would certainly want to know about this . so would the child 's mother , for that . todd : yeah , i feel pretty bad about sam . i do n't know . i -- diane : listen , you do n't need to try and convince me . just paid me a lot of money to be on your side . todd : okay . but this is my point . if heather 's in a coma and jason 's gone , why would n't we tell sam who the father is ? [ scene_break ] anna : jason came down here in response to a phone message from bernie , correct ? sam : yeah . yeah . bernie left him a message and said it was a matter of life and death . anna : do you still have that recording ? because if we can analyze it , there might be something in there we can hear . sam : yes , actually , i do . and i think that 's a really good idea . if we can figure out who the second gunman is , maybe we can figure out where jason is . anna : yeah . sam : perfect . dante : wow , she 's , uh , she 's in some serious denial . anna : oh , i do n't know . that 's what everyone calls it , denial . and you actually feel like it 's hope . then that goes away . that 's when it becomes very painful . sometimes things get turned around , though , and your hope gets realized . [ scene_break ] duke : i have plenty of experience , uh , i can assure you . uh , i can be efficient and discreet . i 'll make sure things run smoothly . lulu : we do n't need a manager . duke : oh . i see . lulu : but what we do need is a bartender . luke : what ? hold on . duke : well , i 'd be delighted . luke : what ? duke : i can do an honest day 's work for honest pay . lulu : that would be great . i have to speak with my partner , of course , and draw up the paperwork . but if you would n't mind coming back tonight -- luke : what ? ! duke : of course , i will . uh , well , thank you , miss spencer - falconeri . lulu : oh . call me lulu . duke : thank you , lulu . i wo n't disappoint you . you have a remarkable daughter , spencer . luke : what just happened here ? what ? !

[ scene_break ] alexis : this is a really bad -- sonny : just hold -- there 's something that you need to know . connie : what ? sonny : they found joe jr. dead last night . he was killed . connie : yeah ? so what ? sonny : so , the man who hurt you all those years , he can not hurt you anymore . and i know seeing him was the worst possible thing that could have happened to you . that 's why you had to leave . but it 's over . you are safe . you can come back to me , kate . [ scene_break ] carly : do you think you need to go after starr ? she seemed pretty upset when she left . michael : god , she -- she said there was something she had to do .

[ scene_break ] starr : trey , i know what it is like to have a father that has hurt people , okay ? i have dealt with it my entire life . it 's like they 're two separate people , right , one that everyone hates and the father that you love . but what i have learned is that you ca n't get caught up in his drama . you have to be your own person and make your own decisions . trey : good for you . starr : i know you , trey . and i think you 'll do what 's right . i think that you will choose to help someone that desperately needs it . [ scene_break ] anna : have forensics run these fibers to see if there 's any dna present . help us find the second shooter . looks like it 's off a scarf . it 's like a fringe ? dante : yeah .

luke tells lulu that duke is the genuine article , but he still intends to prove that duke is up to something . she tells him about her medical condition that prevents her from carrying a child to term . she says she and dante are going to discuss alternatives . he tells her that he would be proud of her if she adopted a child . sam wants spinelli to help her find jason . she still insists that jason is alive and she is going to find him . spinelli agrees to help her . duke watches anna and dante from the shadows as they investigate the murder scene . anna and dante are trying to figure out what second person wanted sonny 's accountant dead . dante says scully was working for someone , according to trey . anna concludes that that person is responsible for all of it . she wants scully 's computer and phone records and tells dante to interview the guards and inmates at the atlantic city jail so they can ascertain who joe had contact with since he has been in town . dante says the medical examiner told him that scully received proper treatment for his bullet wound to the shoulder from somewhere . duke trips over something and makes a noise . dante and anna investigate , but duke eludes them . duke goes into the haunted star and eavesdrops on luke and lulu . lulu tells luke that he should focus on showing anna why he is the right man instead of why duke is the wrong man . duke goes inside and pretends to be surprised to see luke . he says he is looking for a job . lulu tells him that she does n't need a manager , but they are looking to hire a bartender . he takes the job . luke is dumbfounded . lulu says she is keeping friends close and enemies closer . anna notices an expensive piece of cloth caught in some metal . dante observes that it is at a perfect vantage point for supervising last night 's shooting . anna considers the idea that the second shooter came in from there . sam and spinelli arrive . sam asks anna about the second shooter . sam is happy to share the recording of bernie 's message and goes home to get it . dante observes to anna that sam is in denial . anna says other people call it denial , but when it 's you , it 's called hope . duke returns to the pier and sees anna with a piece of his scarf in a plastic bag , saying that she is going to run a dna analysis . he leaves , ditches the scarf , and returns to his hiding place . when dante leaves , duke `` happens `` to see anna and tells her that he just got a job .
<s>[INST] lulu : hey . luke : hi , baby . so , you 're having a halloween party , huh ? lulu : well , this is the haunted star . i thought i should live up to its name . luke : [ chuckles ] lulu : you think you want to come ? luke : oh , i do n't think so . you know , right now , i am up to here with ghosts and goblins and duke lavery rising from the grave . lulu : i thought you were gon na prove he 's a ringer . luke : well , that was the plan , but it did n't turn out so well . i actually ended up proving he 's the love of anna 's life . [ scene_break ] dante : forensics pulled two slugs from bernie abrahms . one matches the gun we found here last night that has joe scully 's prints on it . and the coroner says there 's gunpowder residue on scully 's hands . anna : okay . scully 's one of the shooters , obviously . dante : got to find out where that other bullet came from . anna : this bernie abrahms , he worked for your father ? dante : he did . anna : we need to find out who other than scully wanted sonny 's accountant dead . [ scene_break ] sonny : kate 's sick , trey . this other part of her , whatever you want to call it , is destroying her life piece by piece . do you understand what i 'm saying ? alexis : the longer that connie stays in control , the worse it is for kate . so we do n't want to see kate disappear altogether . sonny : i would n't be asking you this favor if i thought there was another way . trey : okay , so -- so without me , then there 's no kate . alexis : right . trey : all right , well , i guess , uh , i hope you guys had a better goodbye than i did . alexis : trey . trey : no . no . he killed my dad . sonny : that 's not what happened . trey : look , i am not helping you , okay ? ! kate 's never coming back ! sonny : she 's your mother ! alexis : stop it . sonny : that 's why you need to help her ! trey : no . i do n't `` need `` to do anything , especially not for you . connie is your problem , not mine . [ scene_break ] connie : hey , i 'm just trying to have a little fun , all right ? michael : not having enough fun with johnny ? connie : no , because i 'm thinking about you , mikey , 'cause you sure as hell ai n't gon na get nothing from that priss , starr . why do n't you let connie give you some relief ? starr : connie ! get your hands off of my boyfriend , you sick freak !

[ scene_break ] sam : spinelli , i 'm so glad you 're here . you 're just the man for the job . spinelli : what -- what job is that ? sam : finding jason . spinelli : you want my help locating his remains ? sam : no , i 'm not searching for jason 's body . i 'm searching for jason . he 's out there somewhere . and if anyone 's gon na help me find him , it 's you . spinelli : i 'm flattered by your faith in me , but -- sam : come on , spinelli . we 're investigators . we 're partners . spinelli : yeah , but -- sam : but what ? come on . are you in , or are you out ? [ scene_break ] michael : just get out of here , connie . connie : oh , that 's too late 'cause your girlfriend just caught us in the act . starr : caught ? no , i caught you with your hands all over michael , which is harassment , by the way . connie : are you gon na make a citizen 's arrest ? careful , because michael might have to testify , and my guess is he enjoyed it . michael : she 's sick , starr . starr : she 's sick ? she 's certifiable . connie : hey , i 'm just pointing out simple truths here . michael 's no virgin . he used to bang a hooker . and you know what ? she taught him a thing or two , i 'm sure . michael : i told you to shut up about abby . connie : oh , she 's not here . i 'm sorry . but the good news is , is that i am , all right ? do n't you want a woman ? starr : a woman ? you 're not even half a woman . you 're an alter and a symptom . connie : oh , blah , blah . d.i.d . , blah , blah . you 're a possessive , little thing , are n't you ? i see you 're officially over your last boyfriend and your little dead kid . starr : are you kidding me ? ! [ scene_break ] sonny : you want to hate me ? go ahead . but you know what ? there are other ways to get payback . do n't sacrifice your mother 'cause she -- trey : my mother ? sonny : yeah , your mother . trey : my mother dumped me in a dresser drawer the day i was born , all right ? the only family i ever had was my father , and you murdered him . sonny : how many times i got to tell you ? i did n't kill your father . trey : oh , excuse me . let me rephrase that . you sent your enforcer to go do it for you . sonny : no , let me tell you what happened . your father shot my accountant , bernie abrahms , last night . and for all i know , he shot jason , too . trey : yeah , but that 's your version of the story . where 's the proof ? sonny : no , there is proof , 'cause that 's the last thing he said to me before he died . trey : and i 'm supposed to believe that , huh ? you wanted my father dead how many years now ? sonny : because he 's a son of a bitch ! alexis : sonny . no matter what you think about him , it 's this guy 's father , okay ? and you have every right to be upset . although i do n't think all your anger is directed at sonny . trey : what are you talking about ? alexis : i think you 're angry at your father . [ scene_break ] luke : i got a dna sample . lulu : [ sighs ] i 'm afraid to ask . luke : i was able to get a few strands of the smarmy bastard 's hair , but the real duke lavery died before dna profiling , so there was nothing to match it to . lulu : oh . so , you ca n't -- luke : then i got his fingerprints , and they were a perfect match . lulu : well , i guess that 's it , then . luke : no , not necessarily . with enough money and a skilled identity thief , you can fake fingerprints . lulu : a skilled identity thief ? luke : hey , i know a con when i hear one , lulu . this guy did not spend 20 years in a turkish prison . and if he 's lying about that , he 's lying about everything . lulu : yeah , but , dad , if you ca n't prove it -- luke : if i ca n't prove that this guy is n't duke lavery , i can at least prove that duke lavery is up to no good . [ scene_break ] anna : all right , so this bernie abrahms , your father 's accountant , he transfers the bulk of sonny 's assets into your sister 's name , the idea being that her husband , scully 's son , would inherit in the very likely event of her death . dante : mm - hmm . anna : how on earth did all that get past sonny ? dante : bernie was more than an accountant . he was a consigliere . he ran sonny 's business , knew the inner workings , moved the money around . like , everyone would say that he was completely loyal . anna : yeah , but you put someone in that kind of position , they have a lot of power to do damage . do you think jason morgan found out and he shot him , that -- because he found out bernie was being disloyal ? dante : bernie used his last breath to tell sonny that jason was shot and in the water . he would n't do that for the guy who just shot him . anna : there 's definitely a second shooter , then . dante : according to trey , his father was working with someone else . anna : a partner ? dante : not so much a partner , but a boss , someone he had to answer to . anna : okay , so then assuming this individual gave the order to hit bernie , do you think he was also behind the transfer of the assets , or do you think that scully was acting alone there ? dante : no , scully 's not smart enough , and he -- he would n't have the foresight to engineer this kind of thing . anna : then we need to i.d . the second shooter . he 's responsible for everything that happened here last night . [ scene_break ] spinelli : sam , i came to -- i came to congratulate you on the return of your baby , but -- but also just to be with you in the wake of this loss . sam : if that 's all you 've got for me , you know where the door is . spinelli : you -- you want me to go ? sam : no . i do n't want your sympathy or your negativity around me or my son . i 've had enough of that from my family . [ computer keys clacking ] spinelli : well , i 'm sure your mother and sisters just want to comfort you . sam : no , they have already written jason off . and i expected better from you . spinelli : sam , i spent all morning in a wet suit diving off pier 52 . the -- the current had slowed considerably , but the water was freezing . i got a chill even with the proper equipment . there was no sign of jason . sam : okay . well , like you said , the current was really strong . i 'm sure jason drifted down shore a little bit . spinelli : the authorities disagree . they did a sweep of the shoreline , and -- and they come off empty . the coast guard speculates that -- jason 's body was carried -- sam : do n't . do n't . do n't say `` his body . `` do n't assume that he 's gone . spinelli : the police say his death is all but confirmed . sam : we are not the police , spinelli . we can see things that -- that they do n't . we can take on cases that they ca n't . i know i 'm right about this , just like i was right about todd hiding something in his safe about my baby . i know . i know that jason is alive . [ scene_break ] todd : uh , bills , you know . work really piled up when i was cooling my heels in lockup . feeling better ? carly : do you want the polite answer or the real answer ? todd : let 's go for real . i hate polite . carly : i mean -- if jason 's gone , i do n't really -- know how i do this , you know ? i do n't know what my life is gon na be like . jason never failed me . ever . and i always knew that everything was gon na be okay , because jason was always there . no matter what happened . always on my side , even when he knew i was wrong . he was there when every one of my kids was born . he looked after them , especially michael . todd : yeah , you said he was great with michael . carly : he was . he was perfect . and he was a perfect father . it 's why it 's just so unfair that he did n't get to raise a child of his own . just -- todd : he seemed pretty attached to sam 's kid when i saw him at the hospital . carly : yeah . [ chuckles ] i really wish daniel would have turned out to be jason 's , you know . then he would n't be completely gone . there 'd be a part of jason still here . [ scene_break ] lulu : all right , well what if duke is exactly who he says he is ? he 's a victim of circumstance , and after all these years in captivity , he 's come back because of his love for anna . luke : `` a , `` i do n't believe it . `` b , `` so what ? i do n't care . she 's taken . lulu : does she think that ? luke : well , maybe `` taken `` is a little strong . she 's otherwise involved . we 've got a good thing going . [ chuckling ] we really do . i 'm not gon na let this spud mess it up . lulu : but he 's still her husband . luke : thank you for that . lulu : i 'm sorry . i know -- i know that this is frustrating , but obviously anna sees it differently than you do . luke : look , let 's talk about you and your cop husband . how 's the parenthood thing going ? is it all on track and everything ? oh . what ? did i put my foot in my mouth ? lulu : it turns out that dante and i ca n't have a child , after all . luke : oh . sperm problems ? lulu : it 's me . luke : you ? what ? lulu : i have a condition where i can get pregnant , but i will miscarry sometime in the second trimester , so -- anytime dante and i create a baby , i will lose it . luke : i 'm so sorry . lulu : but it 's not the end . luke : no . what 's this ? lulu : supposed to be alternatives . i mean , i guess there 's more to parenthood than giving birth , right ? [ scene_break ] alexis : i know it must be very difficult to reconcile the -- the -- what you know about the man who raised you with what you now know about -- trey : you know , let 's just skip the psychoanalysis with me , right . i 'm not the one that needs a shrink . sonny : you 're right . it 's your mother who needs treatment . that 's why we need your help . trey : i do n't have to help you . alexis : i 'm not making light of your suffering , trey . you were abandoned . i 'm just asking that you try to understand what got her to that point . trey : why should i care ? alexis : because you have the chance to ask questions to things that you never had answers to . you have a chance to get love from a mother that you -- you never knew . but we need kate back . she needs to get the treatment . you 're gon na lose your mother before you even get a chance to know her if you do n't help us . [ scene_break ] starr : if you say one more thing about my daughter , you will -- connie : why is everybody slapping me today ? michael : let 's get out of here . starr : no , i am not going anywhere , not when you throw cole and hope in my face when they 're the reason that they 're gone ! connie : cue the violins . starr : you murdered two people ! connie : no , i did not ! get your facts straight ! i did n't murder nobody , and i 'm sick of taking the rap ! [ scene_break ] todd : you really think it would make such a huge difference if -- if jason were a father ? carly : well , yeah . i mean , that child would be one last tie to him . todd : yeah , but kids do n't grow up to be like their parents . i mean , take me for instance . i know it 's hard to believe , but i 'm actually an improvement over mine . carly : but a - a piece of them would still be here , you know ? todd : you think sam feels the same way ? carly : i know how i would feel . i mean , if i got to look in that little baby 's eyes and still feel close to my friend , if i got to watch that little boy grow up into a strong man like jason , i think that would mean everything . sam has to feel the same way . she was married to jason . they were gon na raise that little boy together . i 'm sorry , okay ? i 'm sorry . i should n't be going on and on . todd : i - i - i ca n't -- [ knock on door ] carly : um -- diane : hello . i thought i would save you a stamp . hello , carly . carly : hi , diane .

[ scene_break ] sam : look , i think jason was pulled out into the channel . i 've been researching currents and shipping lanes . spinelli : okay . with a current of one knot , a person of his height and weight would move at the rate of just under -- sam : yes ? yes ? yes ? come on . so , you think it 's possible , right ? jason could be out there somewhere . spinelli : [ sniffs ] you want my professional opinion ? sam : yes . please . spinelli : well , the job of a private eye is to investigate his client 's suspicions without prejudice and follow clues to the truth . sam : yes . okay , that 's good enough for me . spinelli : all right , well , let 's start at the beginning . sam : all right . [ scene_break ] anna : i need a list of everyone who came into contact with scully this year , so i need his phone records , computer , everything , the works . dante : i 'll get a copy of the visitor logs for atlantic city . he did about a month in lockup before charges were dropped . anna : need to interview the guards , cell mates , any associates . dante : hey , you know what ? the m.e . says that he had proper medical care for that bullet wound in his shoulder , something above and beyond whatever tracy did for him . anna : well , he did n't go to the hospital , so we need to find out where he went after the quartermaines . dante : well , he went underground . he was gone for a week . anna : you think he was holed up with this individual ? you know , the one the son mentioned ? maybe it 's the -- [ clattering noise ] [ scene_break ] luke : adoption , huh ? that 's a big decision . lulu : we have n't made any decisions . i mean , we really even have n't had a chance to talk about much . up until a couple days ago , i was still very focused on getting pregnant . luke : well , it 's a cold , old world out there , and there are a lot of kids -- broken - hearted who need love and a home . so , if you 're willing to open your arms to them , i 'm proud of you . lulu : [ sighs ] luke : you 're gon na make an amazing mother . lulu : thank you . it 's just been a long couple days . i need to talk things over with dante , just like you need to talk with anna .

[ scene_break ] luke : anna knows more about how suspicious this lavery character is than she wants to admit . lulu : i meant you need to talk about your relationship . luke : relationship ? lulu : be honest with your feelings and what you have to offer . luke : oh , darling , i do n't know that i have anything to offer . probably nothing except i appreciate the woman she is . lulu : well , do n't tell me that . tell her . luke : well , you know , commitment is not really my thing . lulu : hmm . compared to duke , who stayed committed to her through all those rough years in prison . luke : hey , this is not helping . lulu : i am just telling you what you 're up against . luke : i know what i 'm up against . i just do n't know how to handle it . lulu : i think that you should focus on proving why you are the right man for anna instead of trying to prove that duke is the wrong one . luke : hmm . duke : luke spencer . what a surprise . [ scene_break ] alexis : do n't you want a relationship with your mother ? trey : why ? she never wanted one with me . connie threw me out like a piece of trash , and kate forgot i even existed . sonny : trey , she did n't know you existed . she was a sweet , loving person until your father crushed her and raped her . trey : you do n't know that . sonny : kate is sick ! that 's the bottom line here ! you 're the only one who can get her in treatment . do you understand what i 'm saying ? trey : yeah , i understand perfectly clear . and you hate having to ask me , do n't you ? you know what ? it turns out you wasted your time . sonny : have you heard anything that we 've said to you at all ? trey : yeah , i heard everything i need to hear , and now i would like you to leave . see , i have to make arrangements to bury my father .

[ scene_break ] anna : ah , it 's in pretty good condition . means it has n't been here long . i do n't think it has anything to do with the shooting last night , though . dante : it could . it 's a pretty good vantage point , clear line of sight for seeing bernie and joe and jason showing up . anna : all right . so if we 're correct and scully was under orders to take out bernie , and then whoever gave those orders , maybe they showed up , they wanted to supervise in person , and they saw things were n't going as planned , and the second shooter stepped in to finish the job . dante : sam . sam : oh , hi . hi , dante . anna : hi , sam . sam : hi . anna : i 'm so sorry for your loss . and is this little baby -- hi , i 'm so happy that you guys are reunited again . sam : i 'm just trying to find my husband . anna : [ sighs ] this is a crime scene right now . we 're just beginning to -- spinelli : well , i 'm sure the commissioner remembers that we are licensed investigators . sam : yes , we are . so , what were you saying about second shooter ?

[ scene_break ] donna : ( sighs ) storm : it 's okay . donna has every right to feel the way she does . katie : storm , i was a little girl when dad left , but i remember how it was for you . i remember how hard you worked to make ends meet . and so y - you 'd take a second job so i could get -- i do n't know -- braces or -- or -- or so you could get a - a dress for the 8th - grade dance . i mean , do you remember that , donna ? mom had so many bills to pay , and -- and storm got the second job so that he could surprise you with that pink chiffon dress that you wanted so badly . donna : yeah , you even bought me matching ribbons , huh ? storm : ( chuckles ) gosh , you looked so beautiful , like a princess . donna : yeah , i cried when i opened it and saw what you did . storm : ( laughs ) that was your first big school dance . no way you were n't gon na be there . katie : that 's how it always was -- you working so hard to make sure that we had the same as everyone else , even if it meant you went without . and you did go without so much , i know . and you acted like it did n't matter . the same way you acted like it did n't matter when somebody asked us about dad . it did n't matter that he walked out on us , because you were gon na make sure that we were okay . and you did , even though your stomach was tied in knots , even though you carried this pain around with you every minute of the day . storm : ( sniffling ) ( sighs ) katie : and we never saw it . why ? why did we never see how much pain you were in ? [ scene_break ] stephanie : you want to talk about your family -- donna . you 're worried that donna and i are going to have a big battle over eric , are n't you ? that 's what you 're concerned about . brooke : actually , that does worry me , but what i 'm here to ask you does n't involve my sister , not in that way anyway . although it does have to do with family and forgiveness . i 've been thinking a lot about that lately , and it 's very powerful to be able to forgive somebody . you can change lives forever . stephanie : well , that 's what i 'm hoping will happen with us , you know , that you 'll find a way to forgive me . and -- and i 'm prepared to do anything i can , honestly , to make that happen . brooke : even if it means doing something you could never imagine yourself doing ? stephanie : exactly what are we talking about ? brooke : ( sighs ) i want you to show leniency concerning my father . stephanie : leniency ? brooke : stephanie , he really should n't be behind bars . if you could just talk to the police and get the case dismissed . stephanie : what ? brooke : ( scoffs ) i know this is n't something that you were expecting . stephanie : wait a minute , brooke , you ca n't be serious ? brooke : i thought you wanted to make amends . stephanie : well , i do , but i mean ... ( scoffs ) what you 're asking me to do is n't going to make any difference . i mean , the police , i mean , you know , they 've got the evidence . they 're convinced that they have their man . i mean , and it 's just -- brooke : i know . just go to them , and tell them that you 're starting to remember things , you 're having flashes . stephanie : you want me to commit perjury ? brooke : stephanie , you 're the only eyewitness . just tell them it was n't my father . stephanie : well , the police are n't going to believe that , not for a second . brooke : well , at least give it a try . okay , maybe they wo n't believe it , but this case will go to trial , and when it does , you 're gon na be a witness , and you 're gon na put doubts in those jurors ' min . stephanie : he tried to kill me . brooke , the law says he has to pay . brooke : yes , i agree , he should pay if he was really the man that tried to kill you . but he did not pull that trigger , stephanie . look , i know you do n't believe me , and you probably never will , but i 'm just asking you to take my word for it , because it 's true . [ scene_break ] storm : do n't you dare blame yourself , either of you . i 'm the one who screwed up . i 'm the one who let my anger towards dad get the best of me . i could have gotten help at any point , but i did n't . instead , i kept pushing my anger deeper and deeper inside of me , telling myself that as long as dad stayed away , everything would be all right . but then , of course , he showed up ... ( sighs ) and it all came crashing back like some dark suffocating wave . it kept pulling me further and further under . and i am so sorry . i 'm so sorry , katie . i know that does n't fix anything . and i know it does n't make anything easier for you and eric . donna : oh , god , will you just stop ? will you stop ? katie 's right . you 're going through hell , and i - i - i should be thinking about you and not myself . god , i love you , stormy . i love you . and you 're still the same brother who -- who bought me that dress and ... storm : ( sniffling ) donna : taught me to slow dance ... storm : ( laughs ) donna : ( laughs ) and do trig . storm : yeah . donna : you 're the brother who held this family together . storm : ( sighs ) donna : and i 'm the one who 's sorry , storm . i 'm sorry that i - i did n't realize this earlier .

( sighs ) you do n't understand . stephanie : no , i do understand , because i understand you . you have spent your entire adult life searching for a man who will not disappoint you the way your father has . and in spite of that , you 're still here asking me to do this . y - y- it -- it -- it just does n't make sense . brooke : i 'll say it again . my father did n't shoot you . now i know the evidence says otherwise , but , stephanie , you 've really got ta trust me on this . have faith in me to do what 's best for everybody . stephanie : you -- but you 're asking me -- you 're telling me that what would be best for everybody would be for me to commit perjury in the witness stand . my god . brooke : look , stephanie , i would n't be doing it this way if i had a choice , but my father is being falsely accused here . yes , he caused damage to our family . and some of us are hurt more than others . but now that he 's home , we can finally come together and start to heal . and that is what i want more than anything . but we ca n't do that if our dad 's in prison for something he did n't do . brooke : you gave me your word . you said you wanted to help . now if my forgiveness means so much to you , if it 's what you really want , then you need to do what you have the power to do and set my dad free . stephanie , please ... ( sighs ) for me , set my father free .
brooke tells storm that stephanie owes her ; all she has to do is go to the police and tell them she is not sure who shot her . storm ca n't let her do that and he ca n't let his dad take the fall either . katie thinks it is a mistake too putting the fate of their family in stephanie 's hands , and what she might do when she finds out the real truth , that it was storm that shot her . stephanie does n't want to take any more pain pills ; they make her dopey , so she tells bridget and ridge that she will just take some aspirin if she needs it . brooke asks stephanie to give leniency to her father . take her word , her dad did not pull the trigger . tell the police she is having flashes of that night and it does not include stephen . despite just saying that she would do anything to repair their relationship and help brooke , stephanie is shocked that brooke would ask her to perjure herself .

[ scene_break ] donna : ( sighs ) storm : it 's okay . donna has every right to feel the way she does . katie : storm , i was a little girl when dad left , but i remember how it was for you . i remember how hard you worked to make ends meet . and so y - you 'd take a second job so i could get -- i do n't know -- braces or -- or -- or so you could get a - a dress for the 8th - grade dance . i mean , do you remember that , donna ? mom had so many bills to pay , and -- and storm got the second job so that he could surprise you with that pink chiffon dress that you wanted so badly . donna : yeah , you even bought me matching ribbons , huh ? storm : ( chuckles ) gosh , you looked so beautiful , like a princess . donna : yeah , i cried when i opened it and saw what you did . storm : ( laughs ) that was your first big school dance . no way you were n't gon na be there . katie : that 's how it always was -- you working so hard to make sure that we had the same as everyone else , even if it meant you went without . and you did go without so much , i know . and you acted like it did n't matter . the same way you acted like it did n't matter when somebody asked us about dad . it did n't matter that he walked out on us , because you were gon na make sure that we were okay . and you did , even though your stomach was tied in knots , even though you carried this pain around with you every minute of the day . storm : ( sniffling ) ( sighs ) katie : and we never saw it . why ? why did we never see how much pain you were in ? [ scene_break ] stephanie : you want to talk about your family -- donna . you 're worried that donna and i are going to have a big battle over eric , are n't you ? that 's what you 're concerned about . brooke : actually , that does worry me , but what i 'm here to ask you does n't involve my sister , not in that way anyway . although it does have to do with family and forgiveness . i 've been thinking a lot about that lately , and it 's very powerful to be able to forgive somebody . you can change lives forever . stephanie : well , that 's what i 'm hoping will happen with us , you know , that you 'll find a way to forgive me . and -- and i 'm prepared to do anything i can , honestly , to make that happen . brooke : even if it means doing something you could never imagine yourself doing ? stephanie : exactly what are we talking about ? brooke : ( sighs ) i want you to show leniency concerning my father . stephanie : leniency ? brooke : stephanie , he really should n't be behind bars . if you could just talk to the police and get the case dismissed . stephanie : what ? brooke : ( scoffs ) i know this is n't something that you were expecting . stephanie : wait a minute , brooke , you ca n't be serious ? brooke : i thought you wanted to make amends . stephanie : well , i do , but i mean ... ( scoffs ) what you 're asking me to do is n't going to make any difference . i mean , the police , i mean , you know , they 've got the evidence . they 're convinced that they have their man . i mean , and it 's just -- brooke : i know . just go to them , and tell them that you 're starting to remember things , you 're having flashes . stephanie : you want me to commit perjury ? brooke : stephanie , you 're the only eyewitness . just tell them it was n't my father . stephanie : well , the police are n't going to believe that , not for a second . brooke : well , at least give it a try . okay , maybe they wo n't believe it , but this case will go to trial , and when it does , you 're gon na be a witness , and you 're gon na put doubts in those jurors ' min . stephanie : he tried to kill me . brooke , the law says he has to pay . brooke : yes , i agree , he should pay if he was really the man that tried to kill you . but he did not pull that trigger , stephanie . look , i know you do n't believe me , and you probably never will , but i 'm just asking you to take my word for it , because it 's true . [ scene_break ] storm : do n't you dare blame yourself , either of you . i 'm the one who screwed up . i 'm the one who let my anger towards dad get the best of me . i could have gotten help at any point , but i did n't . instead , i kept pushing my anger deeper and deeper inside of me , telling myself that as long as dad stayed away , everything would be all right . but then , of course , he showed up ... ( sighs ) and it all came crashing back like some dark suffocating wave . it kept pulling me further and further under . and i am so sorry . i 'm so sorry , katie . i know that does n't fix anything . and i know it does n't make anything easier for you and eric . donna : oh , god , will you just stop ? will you stop ? katie 's right . you 're going through hell , and i - i - i should be thinking about you and not myself . god , i love you , stormy . i love you . and you 're still the same brother who -- who bought me that dress and ... storm : ( sniffling ) donna : taught me to slow dance ... storm : ( laughs ) donna : ( laughs ) and do trig . storm : yeah . donna : you 're the brother who held this family together . storm : ( sighs ) donna : and i 'm the one who 's sorry , storm . i 'm sorry that i - i did n't realize this earlier . ( crying ) i 'm sorry i was n't a better sister . storm : ( tsks ) donna : i just wish you had better aim . storm : oh , stop it . stop . donna : ( sobbing ) [ scene_break ] stephanie : your father asked you to do this for him , did n't he ? look , i - i know -- i understand you have a very complicated relationship with him . but at this point in your life , why would you believe one word that comes out of that man 's mouth ? he 's lied to you your whole life . brooke : he 's not lying about this . stephanie : the evidence says he is . brooke : sometimes things are n't as they seem . stephanie : and sometimes they are . look , wha -- what has he done ? he 's made himself the big man in his own mind , because he 's gotten even with me ? i mean , this is just -- this is what your father does . he -- he always does the wrong thing for the wrong reason . that 's why he 's been such a disappointment to you and your sisters and your brother . brooke : stephanie , please . stephanie : i 'm not saying these things to hurt you . honestly , i 'm not . but the idea that he would ask you to come to me and ask me to concoct some story like this , it 's unconscionable . brooke : no , no , no , no ... ( sighs ) you do n't understand . stephanie : no , i do understand , because i understand you . you have spent your entire adult life searching for a man who will not disappoint you the way your father has . and in spite of that , you 're still here asking me to do this . y - y- it -- it -- it just does n't make sense . brooke : i 'll say it again . my father did n't shoot you . now i know the evidence says otherwise , but , stephanie , you 've really got ta trust me on this . have faith in me to do what 's best for everybody . stephanie : you -- but you 're asking me -- you 're telling me that what would be best for everybody would be for me to commit perjury in the witness stand . my god . brooke : look , stephanie , i would n't be doing it this way if i had a choice , but my father is being falsely accused here . yes , he caused damage to our family . and some of us are hurt more than others . but now that he 's home , we can finally come together and start to heal . and that is what i want more than anything . but we ca n't do that if our dad 's in prison for something he did n't do . brooke : you gave me your word . you said you wanted to help . now if my forgiveness means so much to you , if it 's what you really want , then you need to do what you have the power to do and set my dad free . stephanie , please ... ( sighs ) for me , set my father free .Summarize.[/INST]brooke tells storm that stephanie owes her ; all she has to do is go to the police and tell them she is not sure who shot her . storm ca n't let her do that and he ca n't let his dad take the fall either . katie thinks it is a mistake too putting the fate of their family in stephanie 's hands , and what she might do when she finds out the real truth , that it was storm that shot her . stephanie does n't want to take any more pain pills ; they make her dopey , so she tells bridget and ridge that she will just take some aspirin if she needs it . brooke asks stephanie to give leniency to her father . take her word , her dad did not pull the trigger . tell the police she is having flashes of that night and it does not include stephen . despite just saying that she would do anything to repair their relationship and help brooke , stephanie is shocked that brooke would ask her to perjure herself .</s>

[ scene_break ] alexis : oh . i wish there was something more that i can do here . shawn : well , we can change the subject . how 'bout we talk about , uh , that kiss at the hospital ? alexis : [ sighs ] i need to go check on the kids . shawn : they 're in her room with the door closed . sam 's at the hospital , and kristina 's out of town . so , tell me , i mean , did i take things too far by kissing you ? [ scene_break ] t.j. : please , no . molly : really ? this has been a lifelong fantasy of mine . t.j. : to what , ruin your looks ? molly : well , it 's just a wig . kristina wore it for halloween a few years back . but forget it 's me and try to be objective . how do i look ? t.j. : way hotter without it . okay ? molly : really ? t.j. : yeah . molly : well , that 's another fantasy of mine -- that someone would tell me i 'm hot . t.j. : someone ? molly : you . i wanted you to tell me i was hot before we -- t.j. : before we die ? [ scene_break ] patrick : listen to me . whoever came up with this pathogen also came up with the antiserum . the cdc is much more equipped than i am to find it . so figure it out , break it down , and get it back to me . elizabeth : patrick . patrick : i 'm sorry . the cdc 's having a hard time finding the antiserum . elizabeth : okay . well , i wo n't keep you . i just wanted to know , how 's ewen doing ? patrick : he did n't make it . elizabeth : oh . oh . okay . it 's such a waste , you know ? i mean , he -- he helped so many people , and yet he was working for jerry the entire time ? patrick : elizabeth , i 'm sorry . this is probably not the best time , and i know it 's a weird request , but did -- did ewen ever say anything about robin ? elizabeth : um , well , he -- he talked about , obviously , how loved she was by everyone , but mainly he was focused on helping you with your grief . why ? patrick : because -- his last breath , he said her name . [ scene_break ] sam : i know it was just a fantasy , but it was a pretty good one , was n't it ? dreaming of the life we could have had as a family . jason , i should have never gone to see heather webber .

[ scene_break ] patrick : he was dying , he could barely speak , and with his last breath , he -- he said robin 's name . elizabeth : and you have no idea what he was trying to tell you ? patrick : no , i do n't . that 's why i 'm asking you if he ever said anything to you . elizabeth : well , like i said , whenever he mentioned her , it was always in the context of your grief . i honestly think he wanted to help you . i do n't know . i 'm the wrong person to ask . i did n't even realize how many secrets he was keeping . patrick : i just -- i know i should n't be dwelling on it , especially with the whole town sick from this pathogen . [ scene_break ] sam : can i ask you something ? jason : yeah , sure , anything . sam : it 's about the night that my baby died . jason : sam , i was wrong . i should have never have sent those guys after mcbain . sam : jason , no , that 's not what i 'm asking . i 've been so angry at you , and as long as i made it your fault , i did n't have to stop to think about what really happened . i mean , i barely remember sitting in that motel room that night . i mean , i think the rain had stopped . i 'm -- i 'm not sure . i - i ca n't really remember , but i - i do remember wrapping my son up in a scarf , which seemed so stupid to me right now , because why would n't i use a blanket or a towel -- something that would really keep him warm ? and then i decide to leave . why ? i mean , where was i going exactly ? jason : you said the baby was n't breathing right , and you wanted to get help . sam : i was in the middle of the road , and -- and it was closed . so why did n't i take him back into the motel ? jason : sam , you were n't thinking clearly . sam : why did n't i bring him back into the room , where he was warm ? why did i take him off into the middle of the woods ? jason : 'cause you were -- you were trying to find help . sam : i walked into the middle of the woods , following a light , and i wound up at a shack in the middle of nowhere . and then ... [ sighs ] and then i left him . [ scene_break ] téa : oh , of course , please , please , come in , come in . victor ... lindo ... this is the woman who saved your life . i 've thought about you every single day since that night . it was a miracle that todd found you when victor was so sick . how you happened to be in -- in a shed in -- in the middle of the woods during a rainstorm . if you had n't given him cpr ... he would never have survived . heather : he 's just beautiful . téa : [ chuckles ] you [ exhales sharply ] are the reason he 's still here . [ scene_break ] jason : sam , you -- you did n't leave your son . you were in shock . you should have been in the hospital . it 's my fault that you were n't . sam : no , by the time i found that shack , jason , i was so sick , and i was -- i was dizzy , and i was afraid i was gon na drop him . so i put him down . but why ? ! why did i put him down ? why did n't i take him with me ? why did i leave him outside in the cold ? jason : sam -- sam : jason , i left him outside in a storm . i 'm his mother . he needed me , and i left him -- i left him outside . my baby died because of me . it was my fault . he died , and it was my fault , jason . [ scene_break ] todd : you hold people up for millions of dollars , you should at least be on time . sonny : i found this on the boat . it 's cold , so it 'll be good for you . carly : thank you . i just got all dizzy . johnny : whatever the hell this thing is , it 's really kicking in . sonny : you must be very proud of yourself , jax . carly : do n't -- do n't blame jax . sonny : well , you know what ? if he had just done something to his brother before it went this far , none of this would have happened . you know what i mean ? todd : nothing . no sign of jerry . johnny : if he does n't arrive soon , carly might not make it . carly : no , no , i 'm fine , really . i 'm -- i feel better . jax : you know what ? why do n't -- why do n't all of you go outside , at least by the entrance , so jerry knows that we 're here ? and i 'll stay with carly . johnny : no , no . why do n't i stay with carly and you go look for your brother ? todd : you know what ? all of you -- every last one of you , including you , corinthos -- has done something horrible to carly at one point in your life . i figure i 'm the one who should stay here with carly . the rest of you , you can all go play hide - and - go - seek with that psychopath . sonny : oh , you find that amusing ? you must be getting delirious . [ sighs ] mcbain : a bunch of rich people got together today , and manning was trying to convince them to buy the counteragent from jerry . my guess is they 're meeting somewhere right now . dante : so , who else was in this merry band of thieves ? mcbain : oh , the usual suspects , including your father . johnny : you got no idea when your brother 's gon na show ? jax : i do n't have any control over my brother . todd : he 's got $ 88 million in a bank account waiting to be wire - transferred . brother jerry will show . he 'll be here . [ scene_break ] alexis : i 'll admit the kiss was a little unexpected . but it was good . shawn : [ chuckles ] well , glad to hear it . alexis : look at it this way . when we go to dinner , i wo n't have to waste any time wondering if you 're gon na go for it . shawn : oh , still counting on that dinner , huh ? alexis : i 'm not in denial about what 's going on here . i know that jerry 's pathogen is real , and i know that everyone around me , including you , is getting sick . but i also know that there is a cure . and either the police are going to find it , or the doctors are going to come up with one on their own . shawn : well , jerry jacks must have some deep feelings for you to have taken a risk on vaccinating you . alexis : yeah , lucky me . i can really pick them , huh ? [ sighs ] like you said , maybe it 's time to wake up and listen to the universe . shawn : the universe ? alexis : you 're the one who came up with it . you said that if i got through that fever that maybe it was the universal sign that i should open myself up to new possibilities . shawn : [ chuckles ] [ scene_break ] sam : i should have brought him with me . jason : you thought you were gon na drop him . sam , he did n't die because you put him down . he died from respiratory failure . sam : all alone . jason : you did the best that you could . you were so weak when i showed him to you . you -- you did n't even recognize him . you said it was n't your baby . sam : 'cause i did n't want to believe it , jason . i did n't want to believe that it was him . [ sniffles ] so i came up with a sick fantasy , but it 's impossible . what , that somebody switched him and put a newborn in his place ? jason : you know , when a -- when a child dies ... the pain is too much . you know , you look for a way to make it not true . sam : i know . i know it was my son that died that night . i just -- i 've got this feeling that if i would have -- if i would have held on to him and just never put him down , he would -- he would be with me right now .

[ scene_break ] todd : no -- no sign of jerry ? johnny : no . what if he does n't show ? what , no snappy comeback ? todd : jerry went to a lot of trouble to get us here . i 'm sure he 's got his reasons . johnny : yeah , to watch us die . todd : watching you die would be great . for like an hour , maybe two . $ 88 million . that buys you a whole lifetime of sordid pleasure . johnny : if you 're wrong and we all die , what happens to sam ? todd : well , if we all die , then sam dies , right ? johnny : you do n't she deserves to know her baby 's alive ? [ scoffs ] you should write her a note or something , call her husband . something so at least she can die in peace .

[ scene_break ] jerry : let 's go . shawn : what do you want , jerry ? jerry : oh , that 's not a very warm welcome coming from an old friend . i always wondered , were you the shooter who took me out ? shawn : if it had been me , you would n't be standing here now . jerry : oh , so , i imagine you regret staying in port charles now that it 's gon na be the death of you . shawn : [ coughs ] jerry : look . shawn : staying here was the best choice i ever made . jerry : really ? which , uh , brings me to my errand . i want alexis . [ scene_break ] [ knock on door ] molly : mom ! alexis : i knocked . molly : and then just walked in ? alexis : is that a problem ? molly : would you like it ? alexis : what 's going on ? molly : nothing . we 're just having a private conversation about everything that 's happened . alexis : what is that ? [ scene_break ] dante : why are you meeting jerry ? sonny : i 'm sorry , son . if jerry smells a cop , the deal 's off . mcbain : if done right , he wo n't see us coming . sonny : i 'll call you later when it 's over . mcbain : you get a location ? [ scene_break ] todd : you want me to call jason ? you want me to call jason and tell him that i switched his wife 's very healthy baby with téa 's dead one ? that 's what you want me to do ? johnny : okay , so , call sam instead . maybe she 'll be so grateful to you that her kid 's alive that she wo n't ask too many questions . todd : i 'm not calling anybody . you want to make a call ? i 'll tell you what . why do n't you call my daughter ? call my daughter . tell her you killed her daughter . tell her you killed her boyfriend . johnny : i ca n't change or take back what i did , but at least you can make things right . todd : you know , one of these days , you 're gon na fall out of that pulpit of yours , and you 're gon na hurt yourself . you 've been lying to carly for months , letting her think you 're some kind of a great guy , like you 're some kind of a saint . jax : so , johnny 's been lying to carly . what a shock . what is it that you have n't told her , johnny ? [ scene_break ] jason : patrick , is it -- is it possible to pull , uh , the medical records for -- for sam 's baby ? patrick : actually , they 're -- they 're in sam 's chart here . jason : can you -- can you -- can you tell us why he -- he died ? patrick : it says he died of respiratory failure . his lungs were n't developed . jason : so if sam and the baby made it to the hospital , you could have put him on a ventilator and -- and he 'd still be alive , right ? patrick : did nobody talk to you about this ? jason : i 'm just trying to be clear , because he died , he was n't in the hospital , he could n't get proper care . patrick : i doubt that the ventilator would have done any good . sam : are you sure ? because , i mean , when i asked kelly , she said that that 's what she would have done . she would have put him on a ventilator . patrick : yes , your baby would have been put on a ventilator , but the baby 's lungs were n't developed . it was n't breathing properly . so , i 'm sorry , but there was -- there was no way to save your baby . [ scene_break ] téa : what do you mean , victor 's not mine ? what are you talking about ? heather : the old chinese proverb . if you save someone 's life , you 're responsible for that person for the rest of their life . and so that gorgeous baby -- you could say i 'm watching over him . téa : oh , thank you , susan . [ chuckles ] that was so kind . as you know , victor does n't have a lot of family . his father passed away . it 's just really me , my brother , when he 's around , and my daughter , when she 's not out . heather : and me . i keep asking todd how victor 's doing , but you know how todd is . he 's always go , go , go . i ca n't pin him down . so i decided to come and visit victor myself . téa : well , i wish he had told me . i would have sent you a picture . heather : oh , you ca n't blame todd . that 's just his nature . always trying to change the world to suit himself . téa : [ chuckles ] you do know him . well , victor and i are very glad you 're here . heather : may i hold him ? [ scene_break ] alexis : let me see that . molly : mom , it 's private ! t.j. : it 's our bucket lists . alexis : your -- your what ? molly : we wrote down all the things we wanted to do before we died . alexis : molly , molly , i do n't want you thinking about that right now . molly : well , it 's kind of hard not to when you 're burning up with a fever . alexis : you have a fever ? [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] shawn : i got news for you , jerry . alexis does n't want to have anything to do with you . jerry : oh , do n't worry . she 'll change her mind . shawn : no . jerry : why do you think i went through all the trouble to save her life ? alexis is coming with me . shawn : you know i ca n't let that happen . jerry : well , under normal circumstances , that would give me pause , but you 've been under the influence of the pathogen for 24 hours . you 're sick , debilitated , so do us a favor -- sit down . shawn : you 're right , jerry . time to retreat . jerry : good . [ scene_break ] mr. corinthos hung up before i could pinpoint his location . dante : because he knew we were tracing him . i was able to find the cell tower that handled the car . mcbain : show me . what 's the radius of that tower ? five miles . mcbain : five miles . okay , so we are looking for a place where jerry can pick up his money and make a getaway and it 's in a five - mile radius .

[ scene_break ] jax : so , what are n't you telling carly ? johnny : go to hell , jax . todd : do n't look at me . johnny 's hostile ... and evasive . i 'd say it 's the fever , but he 's kind of always like that , right ? jax : i 'm gon na go check on my wife . johnny : how much do you think he heard ? todd : enough . johnny : what are you smiling at , you smug son of a bitch ? you forgetting our agreement ? if i go down , i 'm taking you with me . [ scene_break ] sam : so my son never had a chance to live ? patrick : there 's a high probability that he would have died of respiratory failure no matter what . sam : okay , but was it anything that i did while i was pregnant to affect the development of his lungs ? patrick : there 's nothing that you could have done differently . in fact , it says here you were very diligent . you -- you told kelly lee to look into a genetic disorder with the cassadine family -- beta thalassemia . sam : yeah . elizabeth : was that a factor ? patrick : no , not in the m.e . it does n't say that . but your son had a worse condition -- hemophilia . sam : no , i - i - i do remember kelly briefly mentioning that , but she thought it was weird , because it did n't show up in any of my blood work while i was pregnant . jason : that 's not why he died . patrick : your son died of respiratory failure , okay ? his lungs were n't developed . now , i 'm sure if you would have got to the hospital sooner , we would have done anything we possibly could to keep him alive . but in my medical opinion , there 's nothing that we could have done . now , we need to get you to radiology . elizabeth : can i see the file ? patrick : yes . elizabeth : thank you . the baby 's death was n't sam 's fault . and it was n't yours , either .

[ scene_break ] jason : it 's still my fault mcbain could n't get sam and the baby to the hospital . elizabeth : you heard what patrick said . it would n't have mattered . jason : wait a minute . this does n't make any sense . elizabeth : what does n't make sense ? jason : it says -- it says right here sam 's -- sam 's baby is ab - negative , and sam 's o - positive . elizabeth : well , if the baby was franco 's , then that -- jason : no , no , no . it says franco was o - positive , so how -- how could sam and franco have a child who 's ab - negative ? i mean , that 's not possible , right ? [ scene_break ] téa : so , how long will you be staying in llanview ? heather : i 'm not sure . but i am ready for a change . i 've been isolated too long . téa : did you live near that -- what was it ? garden shed ? heather : i adore gardening -- maybe a little too much . when i go puttering around the shed , i lose all track of time . téa : well , victor and i -- we sure are grateful that you were there that night . heather : yes . me too . this baby changes everything for me .

[ sighs ] like you said , maybe it 's time to wake up and listen to the universe . shawn : the universe ? alexis : you 're the one who came up with it . you said that if i got through that fever that maybe it was the universal sign that i should open myself up to new possibilities . shawn : [ chuckles ] [ scene_break ] sam : i should have brought him with me . jason : you thought you were gon na drop him . sam , he did n't die because you put him down . he died from respiratory failure . sam : all alone . jason : you did the best that you could . you were so weak when i showed him to you . you -- you did n't even recognize him . you said it was n't your baby . sam : 'cause i did n't want to believe it , jason . i did n't want to believe that it was him .

emily : unless you can wave a magic wand and bring nikolas back , there 's absolutely no way that you can help me . you know , even if you did have that kind of power , i 'm sure you would n't use it unless there was something in it for you . lorenzo : you 're absolutely right . [ scene_break ] jax : you said that you needed someone with deep pockets whose reputation is impeccable . will i do ? courtney : why would you want to help me with my foundation ? tracy : well , it 's a moot point . jax is n't available to sit on the board of your -- jax : do n't speak for me , tracy . tracy : somehow i think that little outburst has nothing to do with courtney 's little project . is there something on your mind you have n't told me yet ? [ scene_break ] jason : do n't even think about it . sam , what 's wrong with you ? well , that 's stupid to try and run away . sam : thanks for the concern . jason : no , i 'm serious . you could 've fallen and you could 've hurt the baby . sam : oh , come on , jason . sonny 's not going to care once he finds out that this baby may not even be his . jason : he already knows . [ scene_break ] sonny : you do n't understand . things have gotten extremely complicated with sam . carly : then make me understand , sonny . complicated how ? sonny : ahem . there are issues between sam and me that are unresolved . carly : you know , i really wished that we had n't promised michael that we 'd be a family , because backing out now that he 's got his hopes up is going to hurt him . sonny : i 'm not backing out . [ scene_break ] emily : at least you 're honest . lorenzo : yeah , yeah , i 'm a businessman , always looking for the next opportunity . my most recent investment is n't well - known at the present , but i imagine it will be very soon . emily : l & b ? smart choice . lorenzo : no , i do n't invest in corporations ; i invest in people , and seeing their potential is a particular talent of mine . i see it in my niece sage , dillon , ned , and you , too . emily : oh , come on . you barely know me . lorenzo : i know you well enough to realize that i may be in a position to help you , emily . emily : you know what ? no . just forget it , all right ? i 'll never want anything from you . lorenzo : `` never `` is a long time . emily : l & b is more than a company to ned and dillon . they 've invested their hearts in what they 're doing . lorenzo : all the more reason for you to support them . emily : you know what ? do n't hurt anyone i care about , and we 'll get along fine . nikolas : she does n't like you very much . lorenzo : her brother 's a business rival and emily is extremely loyal . it 's an impressive quality , one i expect from my employees . nikolas : wo n't be a problem . lorenzo : are you available to start tonight ? mary : excuse me , connor . i need to talk to you , alone .

[ scene_break ] jax : you have no say in the decisions i make , tracy . tracy : tell me something -- does your sudden enthusiasm for this project have anything to do with altruism , or perhaps an interest in the stripper that 's presenting it to you ? jax : are you finished ? tell me more about the foundation . have you filed for a 501 - 3c status with the i.r.s . ? courtney : yes . it 'll take a month for the application to be certified . tracy : and do the feds know that most of your funding comes from career criminals ? jax : you realize once you fund your foundation , you wo n't be able to get your money back ? courtney : well , i believe that helping children is the best possible use for my money . tracy : oh , yippee . now you 're a candidate for sainthood . jax : will you be recruiting corporate sponsors or individuals ? courtney : both . i mean , you could represent yourself and j & j jacks . jax : you 're going to need operating expenses . courtney : yeah , well , i think that the initial endowment will cover all startup costs . but my main problem is the child welfare office assumes that i 'm using the foundation as a front for mob money . tracy : there you have it . even the bureaucrats have managed to figure it out . courtney : i have nothing to do with sonny or jason or their business . jax : well , keep it that way and i 'm your man . [ scene_break ] jason : jax told sonny that he slept with you the night of the fire , and jax thinks this is his baby . sam : sonny must think i 'm a slut . i mean , jax certainly does , and i 'm sure you feel the same way , too . jason : i do n't care one way or the other . sam : jason , when that hotel caught on fire , jax and i were trapped . we thought we were going to die . jason : look , sam , you do n't need to explain . sam : i -- i want to , ok ? there was nothing serious going on between me and sonny at the time . we had turned to each other because we had both been hurt . it was a distraction . that was it . i had no idea my feelings for sonny were going to grow stronger . the truth is i still had cared about jax , and i guess a part of me hoped that we would get back together . anyway , we made love , and then we were lucky enough to escape from the fire . i did n't think there was going to be any consequences . jason : like i said , the reasons do n't matter to me . sam : well , the bottom line is i had something with sonny , it 's over . i had something with jax , it 's over . it does n't matter who the father is , jason . i 'm giving this child up for adoption . jason : no , you 're not . [ scene_break ] sonny : after michael almost died , i -- i realized there 's nothing more important than putting the family back together . carly : and sam . sonny : no . that 's not -- no , not sam . carly : but she matters to you . and sam has a piece of you , and your family has a piece . and you do n't know how to make that work . sonny : yeah , something like that . [ scene_break ] lorenzo : call me with whatever you decide . nikolas : ok . i do n't want to fight with you again . mary : neither do i. i realized i 've been so determined to protect you , i 've -- i 've held you back and made you unhappy . nikolas : no , no , it 's not that . mary : yeah , it is . i 've practically kept you prisoner . nikolas : i just -- i just needed some time to rest , mary , and get my bearings . i 've done that . now it 's time for me to make a contribution to this marriage and just try to be a good husband . you 've done so much for me . all i want to do is give something back to you . mary : you do n't owe me anything . nikolas : yes , i do , and i owe myself , as well . i -- i ca n't wait for my old life to come back , mary . the injury changed me . mary : you 're still good and -- and kind , strong , loving -- like the connor i used to know . nikolas : yeah , but i am so different in so many ways . i ca n't -- it 's ok . i ca n't live in a cocoon anymore , mary . as happy as i am with you , i need to be out in the world and find out who i am now . mary : i do n't want to hold you back . nikolas : the job -- it 'll be good for the both of us . mary : i just -- i want you to know that everything i 've done , i 've done out of love . nikolas : i know . i know . and you do n't have to worry , ok ? ok , because i will never leave you again . [ scene_break ] jax : i will be happy to sit on the board of your foundation . this will be my quarterly contribution , subject to my personal review , of course . tracy : and what happens when she mismanages the funds , or is exposed as a fraud ? jax : i have confidence in courtney . tracy : well , i do n't . and i do n't relish the idea of looking like a fool when she goes crawling back to her hit - man hubby . jax : well , this has nothing to do with you , tracy , does it ? so your reputation -- such as it is -- will be intact . tracy : excuse me , two months ago , she was waiting tables at kelly 's . what on earth qualifies her to run a charity ? courtney : i do n't think you are in any position to throw stones , considering the current state of e.l.q . tracy : this from a woman who gives lap dances to make ends meet . courtney : you know what ? i know what these kids are up against , ok ? i grew up in a broken home . my mom struggled to make ends meet . tracy : oh , please ! go tell it to oprah . jax : ok , you know what ? that 's enough ! courtney : at least i am trying to do some good with my money instead of using it as an excuse to look down on people . jax : do n't bother defending yourself . tracy 's incapable of generosity and compassion . she 's ruled by greed and self - interest . courtney : so what about you , jax ? i mean , i know you are n't doing this out of the goodness of your heart . you 'll be expecting some sort of payback . jax : yes , yes , of course . will you be able to compensate me sometime in the future ? courtney : i guess i 'll just handle that when it comes . the most important thing is getting these kids the help they need . tracy : you resign from courtney 's foundation , or skye gets nailed for murder . [ scene_break ] skye : i am so terribly sorry . he -- he just thought that you were somebody else . so , please , stay , and why do n't you play a few games on the house . would you take care of her ? thanks . woman : thank you . skye : all right , that is it . you 've got to rein yourself in , do you hear me ? luke : you 've got to stop trying to rein me in , you hear me ? i do n't like it . i do n't like it ! in fact , we 're closed ! skye : come on , calm down , please . luke : the joint is closed ! get out of here ! go on , get out ! get out ! bunch of fat cats and bimbos . we 're closed until further notice . skye : are you done ? or you going to throw something at me , too ? [ scene_break ] sam : i thought you 'd be thrilled that i was putting my baby up for adoption . jason : sonny sent me down here to find you , sam . if it 's his baby , he wants to keep it . sam : carly and the boys are living with sonny . then my baby has got to be his worst nightmare . [ jason sighs ] jason : look , sonny would never turn his -- turn his back on his own child . sam : but carly would ! trust me , i 'm sure this is n't what she had in mind when she agreed to reconcile with sonny . jason : well , carly 's a great mom . sam : yeah , and she hates me and she 'll hate my baby , too . jason : no , that 's not how she thinks . sam : oh -- jason , maybe you want to believe that , but i do n't . carly will resent this baby . it 'll be a constant reminder of sonny 's infidelity . she 'll probably tell it what an awful person i was and how i hated the idea of being a mother . jason : no , see , now you 're just making this up in the head because -- because you 're scared . you just need to sit down with sonny and talk this through , sam . sam : no , no , no , jason , please . please listen to me . ok ? i want my baby to have a better life than the one i can offer , with a safe , warm home , with a loving mother and father . so please let me go . i am begging you . tell sonny that i crawled out that window and ran away . let me go find a place to have my baby so i can give it to parents who really want it . sonny will never have to know . [ scene_break ] sonny : i have to -- i have to sort out a few things with sam before i can move forward . carly : do -- do you realize how unfair this is to me ? i did n't want to move back in here with you , sonny , but you insisted because of this promise that you made to god . and now less than a week after i move back in , you are leaving to go find your girlfriend , and i am supposed to stay and reassure michael and take care of things here . sonny : it 's important . it 's very important . carly : it 's more important than your family ? sonny : why would you ask me that ? you know that family 's the most important thing in the world to me . that 's not going to change . i did n't plan on sam running away . i did n't plan on any of this . things happen and you adjust . you 're a master at that . i 've seen you accomplish the impossible to get what you need . [ carly sighs ] sonny : just do me this favor , please . carly : why ? sonny : reassure the kids for me while i -- just for a couple of days -- while i take care of this . carly : why ? why should i ? sonny : do n't do it for me , then . do it for your family . that 's why we 're both doing this , right ? to keep the family together ; to make a home for the kids . carly : well , if you want a good family and a home for your kids , then you prove it , and you stay here with me and the kids instead of going after sam . [ phone rings ] sonny : hello . jason : i found sam . you need to fly to san salida and take care of this personally . [ scene_break ] skye : whoa , all right . come on . luke : oh -- skye : you notice there 's a -- a weird kind of symmetry going on here ? i spin out of control , you take care of me , and now i 'm trying to do the same , except i do n't really think i 'm helping very much . luke : well , you did n't let me scare you away . that helps , believe me . skye : only because i 'm more scared without you . luke : oh , red , then you 're in big trouble . skye : you know , you -- you almost had me convinced that laura was n't the one stalking me until lucky found that bracelet you gave her . now i am so terrified that your wife is so confused , so disoriented that she 's decided she wants to hurt me . luke : i am , too . skye : what ? you 're terrified ? luke : what if the only way i can protect you is to see her locked up again -- for murder ? i mean , how the hell am i supposed to save both of you ? [ scene_break ] emily : hey , how much do you know about lorenzo alcazar ? lucky : probably about as much as you do . why ? emily : well , he 's playing benefactor to my new friend , mary . lucky : so ? emily : you know that she 's a widow who lives a simple life by herself , and then suddenly -- and now an international gangster shows up and starts spending time with her ? no . lucky : sometimes the most unlikely people find themselves thrown together . emily : you know , alcazar 's got to have an ulterior motive . he 's probably trying to take advantage of mary somehow . lucky : yeah , yeah , i think mary can take care of herself . emily : you know what ? see , see , that 's just it . see , mary 's an honest , trusting person . i mean , there 's no way that she 's equipped to deal with alcazar . lucky -- are you listening to me ? you need to do something . lucky : like what ? you want me to arrest lorenzo alcazar for showing some kindness to a lonely widow ? emily : no , no , just -- mary just lost her husband . i just do n't want to see her get hurt . lucky : is this about mary or this is about you ? emily : both , probably . i mean , i -- i miss nikolas , you know ? the love of my life was just taken away . i 've been working nonstop since nikolas died , just trying to keep myself so busy and so exhausted that i do n't have time to think about how i 'm going to spend the rest of my life without him . so , yeah , i probably am using mary 's troubles to keep me from dealing with my own . lucky : you know what ? i think it 's about time for us to both stop hiding . i think we should face that loss together . [ phone rings ] lucky : excuse me . ahem . spencer . skye : lucky , it 's skye . your father got drunk and threw everyone off the haunted star , and now 's he 's taken off . lucky : where ? skye : i have no idea . i do n't know what to do . i 've never seen him like this . lucky : i have . skye : lucky , we have got to find him . [ scene_break ] jax : i have n't forgotten the terms of your blackmail . tracy : marry me , and skye does n't go to prison for killing a cop . it 's a simple arrangement . everybody benefits . jax : i doubt that . tracy : you know , marrying me is going to be a lot more pleasurable than you expect . i look forward to being your partner in every way imaginable . jax : do n't push your luck , ok ? there are things that i wo n't tolerate , like people trying to run my life . now , i will go along with our little arrangement as long as it suits me . but watch your step . you 're in a more precarious position than you realize .

[ scene_break ] sam : jason , stop following me . jason : will you just stop running ? sam : why are you forcing me to face sonny ? jason : because he has an obligation to this baby , sam . sam : yeah , that 's right , an obligation . this is n't about two parents wanting to bring a child into this world , jason . he has a family . what does he want with my baby ? jason : do n't -- do n't assume you know what sonny 's thinking . sam : yeah , well , it 's not hard to figure out . why are you putting me through this ? what does it get you for sonny to call me a whore ?

[ scene_break ] sonny : i have to -- i have to sort out a few things with sam before i can move forward . carly : do -- do you realize how unfair this is to me ? i did n't want to move back in here with you , sonny , but you insisted because of this promise that you made to god . and now less than a week after i move back in , you are leaving to go find your girlfriend , and i am supposed to stay and reassure michael and take care of things here . sonny : it 's important . it 's very important . carly : it 's more important than your family ? sonny : why would you ask me that ? you know that family 's the most important thing in the world to me . that 's not going to change . i did n't plan on sam running away . i did n't plan on any of this . things happen and you adjust . you 're a master at that . i 've seen you accomplish the impossible to get what you need .

tabitha : forgive me for going high - tech for a while there , but let me tell you -- mortals ' machines ca n't hold a candle to dark side hocus pocus . now , zoom in on kay , if you please . i 'm afraid kay will get herself into trouble with fox if she gets caught up in theresa 's latest plan to woo ethan away from gwen . come on , bowl , show me kay . ah . kay , fox . you 're back ? kay : yeah . how 's maria ? tabitha : oh , she is sleeping like a lamb ; so is endora . oh , fox , i 'm sorry to hear about your sister 's accident . fox : thanks , tabitha . i just hope that fancy does n't lose her eye . tabitha : oh , that would be terrible . but then there is no shame in wearing an eye patch . pirates do it all the time . fox : thank you , tabitha . you always seem to know just what to say . i am going to go hit the shower before we hit the hay , ok ? kay : ok . i am just going to get a glass of water and i 'll be up in a sec . fox : ok . kay : well , good night . tabitha : your big mouth 's going to land you in it yet , missy , huh ? kay : what did i do now ? tabitha : you helped theresa conceive yet another plan to break up ethan and gwen . kay : not on purpose . you 're spying on me at work ? tabitha : right . i wanted to make damn sure that you would n't succumb to love and get engaged to fox before the planets are realigned . kay : look , you do n't have to worry , ok ? i learned my lesson . i wo n't put my future with fox in jeopardy again , ok ? tabitha : i hope not -- for your sake .

[ scene_break ] theresa : ok . all i have to do now is make sure that collier and company hires gwen . now that ethan does n't have a job until his contract is up , he should be furious and frustrated that gwen is making more money than he is . not to mention the fact that she 's choosing to work instead of being a full - time mother to his daughter . i guess it wo n't be long before ethan does leave gwen , comes back to me , and brings jane with him .

[ scene_break ] theresa : well , mr. collier , do we have a deal ? mr. collier : absolutely , mrs. crane . theresa : pleasure doing business with you . oh , and remember not to say a word of this to gwen . let 's just keep this our little secret . mr. collier : gladly . the amount of money my company will make from doing business with crane will more than cover mrs. winthrop 's salary . theresa : wonderful . you get back to that wife of yours . because nothing is more important than family . mm . this is interesting ... different . having money and power to get what you want . you can pay people off , like i did with collier . and you can intimidate them , like i did with katherine and rachel . well , tomorrow mama and papa will be renewing their vows . and gwen will be hired to do a job that is going to take over her life . and knowing ethan , he 's going to want jane to have a full - time mother , which is where i come in . which will lead ethan and our daughter back to me . [ scene_break ] gwen : listen , i agree that jane deserves to have a full - time mother . and , honey , she will . just not right now . as soon as you 're able to support us again , i 'll be happy to stop working and stay home with jane . ethan : what if it takes me a while to find a job ? gwen : jane will be better off for having you around . ethan : i hope you 're right .

[ next_on ] maya : noah , they want us all dead . ethan : it 's gwen and me and our marriage -- it 's completely falling apart .
as tabitha keeps watch in her magic water bowl , miguel phones kay to tell her he wo n't be coming to harmony for his parent 's marriage renewal . kay wonders why he keeps searching for charity when she so obviously wants nothing to do with him , and then has a racy dream about him coming back for her . she calls his name and fox 's out loud as she dreams , and fox overhears . luckily , he only heard his own name , however . theresa laid the law down to katherine and rachel , telling them to stay away from her parents and not to cause problems for them , or she will gladly send them back to boston in matching pine boxes . it seems to do no good , however , since rachel pushes katherine to go after martin anyway , which she does . she begs him to make love to her , and as he is giving in to her , pilar shows up and seems to find them together .
<s>[INST] tabitha : forgive me for going high - tech for a while there , but let me tell you -- mortals ' machines ca n't hold a candle to dark side hocus pocus . now , zoom in on kay , if you please . i 'm afraid kay will get herself into trouble with fox if she gets caught up in theresa 's latest plan to woo ethan away from gwen . come on , bowl , show me kay . ah . kay , fox . you 're back ? kay : yeah . how 's maria ? tabitha : oh , she is sleeping like a lamb ; so is endora . oh , fox , i 'm sorry to hear about your sister 's accident . fox : thanks , tabitha . i just hope that fancy does n't lose her eye . tabitha : oh , that would be terrible . but then there is no shame in wearing an eye patch . pirates do it all the time . fox : thank you , tabitha . you always seem to know just what to say . i am going to go hit the shower before we hit the hay , ok ? kay : ok . i am just going to get a glass of water and i 'll be up in a sec . fox : ok . kay : well , good night . tabitha : your big mouth 's going to land you in it yet , missy , huh ? kay : what did i do now ? tabitha : you helped theresa conceive yet another plan to break up ethan and gwen . kay : not on purpose . you 're spying on me at work ? tabitha : right . i wanted to make damn sure that you would n't succumb to love and get engaged to fox before the planets are realigned . kay : look , you do n't have to worry , ok ? i learned my lesson . i wo n't put my future with fox in jeopardy again , ok ? tabitha : i hope not -- for your sake . [ sighs ] something tells me that kay will put her future with fox in jeopardy . how she mucks it up this time remains to be seen . [ scene_break ] gwen : is n't this the best news ? ethan : it 's fantastic . it 's -- i 'm very happy for you . gwen : honey , i 'm happy for us . you know , if i get hired , it will take the pressure off of you just needing to accept something so you 'd put food on the table and ... you know , in fact -- you would n't even need to work if you do n't want to . because i 'd be making enough to support us and jane . ethan : honey , do n't you think you 're getting a little ahead of yourself ? gwen : probably , yes . but i do think i should go online and check out what collier and company has been working on lately . ethan : yeah , look , do n't -- do n't feel bad if you 're a little intimidated by what you see , though , ok ? because you 've been out of the work force a while , gwen , and things have changed , that 's all . gwen : oh , honey , i am really not worried , you know . collier would be very lucky to have me . besides , if i get hired , we would n't need to put our dreams on hold any longer , you know . we 'll be able to buy a house , start a college fund for jane , and we would no longer be at theresa 's mercy . [ scene_break ] theresa : ok . all i have to do now is make sure that collier and company hires gwen . now that ethan does n't have a job until his contract is up , he should be furious and frustrated that gwen is making more money than he is . not to mention the fact that she 's choosing to work instead of being a full - time mother to his daughter . i guess it wo n't be long before ethan does leave gwen , comes back to me , and brings jane with him . [ scene_break ] pilar : what is it now , katherine ? rachel : do n't talk to my sister that way . pilar : stay out of this , rachel . martin : listen , can we please not fight ? theresa : now , what 's going on ? pilar : i 'll tell you . your father and i are trying to plan tomorrow 's ceremony when katherine and rachel come back , knowing full well i do n't want them here . every time i turn around , i find katherine lurking , waiting to make another desperate play at martin . rachel : katherine and i came in here to have a sherry , and your mother started right in on us , demanding that we leave . only you do n't live here . we do . martin : honey , listen , it 's no big deal . the ceremony has everyone a little on edge . things will be calmer after , you know , tomorrow . theresa : well , of course , papa . you two are renewing your vows tomorrow in front of friends and family and god . and then everyone will know that you two are committed to each other for life . [ scene_break ] [ phone rings ] kay : hello . miguel : kay , it 's miguel . hope i 'm not calling too late . kay : no . no , actually i was just getting ready for bed . miguel : i 'm sorry i have n't called in a while , but i 've been on the move a lot lately . kay : still looking for charity ? miguel : yeah . what gets me is how close i keep coming to finding her , but at the very last , she always disappears . kay : that must be hard for you . miguel : it is . but i keep hoping i 'll catch up to her soon . kay : if i had a nickel for every time you said that . well , who knows -- maybe your luck will change . miguel : maybe . so , how are you and maria doing ? kay : we 're good . miguel : she looked great in the pictures that you e - mailed me . i ca n't believe how much she has grown . kay : i know , it 's crazy , is n't it ? sometimes i look at her and she looks just like you . well , she 's beautiful just like her dad . miguel : it 's nice of you to say that . kay : well , it 's true . it 's true . gosh , i just wish you could see her in person now . i mean , those pictures , they ca n't really capture how amazing she is . miguel : i want to see maria . believe me , i do . before she forgets me . but i keep thinking i 'm so close to finding charity . tabitha : you 'll not find charity on my watch , romeo . nothing 's changed in terms of you doing the deed with blondie . as a matter of fact , i 've kept you from finding her all this time because if she knows your sweet loving , then she might come into her full powers of goodness -- putting me and endora and dark - siders everywhere in danger . and we ca n't let that happen , can we ? maybe kay can convince miguel to give up his quest to come home , see maria . on the other hand , stud boy 's return could cause a number of unforeseen consequences , all of them beneficial to the dark side . [ scene_break ] gwen : collier and company does the kind of work that i love to do . i mean , they have a lot of far east acquisitions . ethan : it 's , uh -- it 's right up your alley , honey . gwen : it 's like this job was tailor - made for me . ethan : yeah . listen , are you sure you did n't send these people a resume ? gwen : you know , babe , if i did , it was years ago . why ? ethan : i just find it funny that you get a call out of the blue for an interview that seems to be your dream job . gwen : hmm . a minute ago , you were saying what a wonderful reputation i had and that any head hunter worth his commission would have my name on file . would you like to make a retraction , counselor ? ethan : no . i 'm just saying that the timing of this whole thing is -- it 's ... you know what it is -- it 's amazing . it 's amazing . gwen : i know it is . just when we find out that you ca n't do any legal work because theresa is going to hold you to your crane contract , this interview just falls in my lap . except for not shooting theresa with a bolt of lighting yet , god works in mysterious ways . ethan : mysterious , yes he does . [ scene_break ] theresa : oh . oh , my gosh . you know what i just realized ? mama , you got to stay here tonight . papa , you have got to stay at your house . martin : why ? theresa : why ? it is bad luck for the groom to see the bride on the day that they say `` i do `` to each other . pilar : you 're right . you 're absolutely right . theresa : come on , let 's go , papa . out of here . we ca n't risk you being here past midnight . come on , let 's go . katherine : martin , may i speak with you , just for a moment , before you leave ? martin : what about ? pilar : whatever it is , i 'm sure it can wait till tomorrow . martin ? sleep well , sweetheart . martin : you , too . pilar : god , i love you so much . you 're my husband now and always . martin : i love you , too . pilar : i ca n't wait until tomorrow . oh , father lonigan is going to marry us again in front of god and all the people we love . martin : it 's -- it 's all i 've been thinking about . pilar : sweet dreams . oh no , katherine . i 'm not going to let you ruin this for us tomorrow . there is no way you 're going to come between us ever again . theresa : not so fast , ladies . theresa : please , please , sit down . i insist . you comfortable ? katherine : yes . rachel : quite comfortable . theresa : good . because i think you should enjoy this feeling because the next time either one of you tries to come between my parents , i wo n't hesitate to throw you out on the street . rachel : there is no need to be rude , theresa . theresa : oh , i think i 'm being nice , actually , considering i 'm the new mrs. alistair crane . right ? which leads me to my next point . we have all had alistair . or shall i say he has had us . so , i deeply empathize with the two of you . now , katherine , you 're julian and sheridan 's mother . and you are their aunt . so you 're family ; you 've got every right to be here . katherine : thank you , theresa . rachel : of course we do . theresa : yes , you have every right to be here , as long as you respect my wishes . simply leave my parents alone . do not come between them . if you do , i wo n't think twice about having you both shipped back to boston in matching pine boxes . katherine : god , that 's an awful thing to say . theresa : oh , it 's fair warning . you leave my mother and father alone , or else ... pilar : yes , and katherine , one more thing -- remember to be some place else other than here tomorrow . i mean , i ca n't imagine that you would like to see martin take me as his wife again . theresa : and you could keep your sister company . pilar : yeah , rachel , do that . theresa : shall we ? good night , ladies . and please do n't forget to turn the lights off before you leave . because unlike the two of you living here , electricity -- it is n't free .

billy : here 's the feasibility study for expanding into the south asian market . phyllis : if you 're looking for jack , he 's in geneva , tracking down a hacker connected to ian ward . kevin went along for the ride , so that 's nice . billy : and jack says my plans always backfire . phyllis : you made up this lead . billy : he was on to us , so i created a little ... diversionary tactic . phyllis : you diverted my husband to switzerland ! you sent him on some hacker chase . billy : well , maybe he 'll bring you back some chocolate . phyllis : billy ... this plan of yours ... might give us some time to wrangle ian ward , but that does not mean i am a fan . billy : when we get through with victor , he 's not gon na know what hit him . phyllis : i hope you 're right , because i can not wait for that psychopath to be caught . billy : which one ? phyllis : i do n't know . maybe we 're gon na get lucky . maybe they 'll destroy each other . [ footsteps approach ] billy : hey . victoria : and i thought the only one getting destroyed today would be adam . chelsea : hi . adam : hey . chelsea : how are you doing ? adam : uh ... chelsea : are you still hurt ? adam : no . um ... cameras , no touching -- all that kind of stuff . i 'm fine . sit down . chelsea : are you -- are you sure you 're okay ? adam : yeah . i 'm good as new . i 'm good . chelsea : you 'll be good when you 're home -- with me and connor . [ sighs ] maybe that 's what i should have asked santa for . adam : well ... i do n't believe in santa claus , but i do believe in victor newman . you know , he came by here -- paid me a visit . i think our deal 's back in play . chelsea : that 's amazing news ! i - i knew he would pull through . s - so , why -- why do n't you look happy ? adam : why do n't i look happy ? because i know my father . he 's playing the judge card , but that does n't mean that it 's gon na go in my favor . chelsea : okay . ca n't we just ... think `` glass half full `` for a little while ? i mean , victor -- he loves you , and he wants to help . adam : or he 's just trying to get my hopes up so he can watch me crash and burn in court . chelsea : that 's sadistic . victor would n't do that . adam : would n't he ? victor : well , michael baldwin , this is going to be a good day . i can feel it . michael : well , i 'm glad to see you 're in such high spirits . but please spare me the details about why you 're so optimistic that adam 's sentence will be reduced . victor : well , my optimism springs solely from the fact that i hired the best lawyer in genoa city to defend my son . and , of course , then there 's the fairness of the justice system . michael : [ chortles ] [ coughs ] excuse me . victor : [ chuckles ] michael : [ chuckles ] [ cell phone rings ] victor : excuse me . you have some good news for me , i presume ? elise : i have made a decision regarding your son 's case . i 'm afraid it 's not going to be the slam - dunk you expected . victor : uh , kindly tell me more . elise : i 'm going to let adam 's sentence stand . victor : i would n't make a rash decision if i were you . you and i had an agreement . elise : blackmail , victor . it 's called `` blackmail . `` so you want to go public with our affair ? i 'm willing to take that risk . meanwhile , i 'm going to listen to the evidence and rule in accordance with the law . so , you better tell michael baldwin to bring everything he 's got ... or your son 's going to prison for a very long time . in fact , i might even make the term longer , just for the fun of it . no christine : well , we could not ask for a better judge . moxley is gon na make the right decision about adam 's appeal . however , i have to admit i was a little worried when she wanted to recuse herself . paul : well , you know , i have the -- here you go . christine : thank you . paul : the ultimate confidence in the judge ... and the star d.a . christine : thank you . cane : so , what did forensics find on joe clark 's hoodie ? paul : yeah . we got plenty of dna -- joe 's dna -- on the hoodie . cane : so now you can arrest him for extortion and trying to frame me , right ? christine : i 'm afraid that 's not gon na happen , though . cane : so , what -- you 're just gon na let him walk the streets so he 's free to hurt somebody else ? is that what you 're gon na do ? joe : hey . lily : hi . joe : wow . seeing your face puts me in such the holiday spirit . lily : good morning . joe : good morning . can i interest you in some breakfast ? lily : uh ... i 'm right in the middle of doing the seating chart for this big party . you know how it gets crazy around here during the holidays . joe : yeah . how 'bout some dinner ? lily : i 'm really swamped , joe . can we just talk later ? joe : lily ... what kind of game are you playing ? victoria : who exactly are you hoping will destroy each other ? phyllis : our competition has n't been playing fair . i 'm ready for the karma to kick in . victoria : which companies ? phyllis : actually , they 're new to the game -- greenbow and audrey cosmetics . subpar product , purposely misleading branding . they 're hacks . they 're cutting in to jabot 's profits . billy : listen , um , adam 's sentencing appeal starts soon , and i want a front- row seat . i owe it to dee dee to see this through to the end , no matter how bitter it may be . victoria : i know . that 's why i 'm here . i was thinking that maybe you could use some moral support . billy : thank you . that ... means a lot . um ... give me a few minutes and i 'll wrap things up here , okay ? victoria : okay . phyllis : you 're playing with fire when it comes to victoria . billy : no , i 'm not . i 've got it handled . phyllis : she was suspicious . she does n't miss a thing . billy : well , then , we keep diverting attention , phyllis . it 's all smoke and mirrors . phyllis : you know , maybe jack was right to worry about you . your obsession with revenge might just backfire all over you ! billy : we are this close to having victor where we want him , and i 'm doing this , with or without you . phyllis : look , i want victor to burn just as much as you do . but that means we play this smart . no one that we care about can get hurt in a crossfire . chelsea : victor would n't go to all this trouble and try to get you out of here just to end up yanking the rug out from under you . adam : i mean , honestly , that -- that sounds exactly like something victor would do . chelsea : adam , you promised that we 'd have a life together . you promised . this is our chance , so do n't doubt this . do n't doubt victor . adam : yeah . okay . chelsea , you know , i really hope you 're not forgetting this is the same man that went back on this promise once before . i mean , i do n't understand what 's going on here . one minute he wants me out of here , and the next minute , you know , i 'm a liar and i deserve to serve every hour of my sentence . chelsea : why are you so determined to believe this is n't going to happen ? adam : history ... sweetheart , history . and with this , you know , victor -- this is n't exactly a `` get out of jail free `` card . chelsea : connor and i just want you home . i do n't care how it happens -- strings , no strings , a deal with the devil or not . we just want you home ... safe , with us . that 's all that matters . adam : you know if his moxley gambit works , i 'm gon na owe victor a couple pounds of flesh . you know that . you 're the one that saved me , though . do you realize what you 've done ? you did something no one else has been able to do . chelsea , you took on victor ... and you won . victor : i expect you to be flawless in court -- and brilliant . michael : that is my intention , especially the `` brilliant `` part . victor : mm . michael : our arguments are on point and very strong . victor : strong enough ? michael : what happened to complete faith in my abilities ? victor : do n't underestimate what we 're up against . michael : i know exactly what we 're up against . victor : hmm . michael : i plan on pulling every rabbit i have out of my hat . victor : maybe we should add another rabbit -- a surprise witness . michael : this is n't a suggestion , is it ? who do you have in mind ? victor : i 'll let you know . michael : judges hate surprises . so does christine . victor : [ inhales deeply ] i 'll be in touch , okay ? michael : [ chuckles ] i 've forgotten what it 's like working for you . victor : you have ? well , you never know what 's gon na happen , do you ? michael : no . bring on the challenges . victor : all right , michael baldwin . michael : mr. newman . victor : do your best . michael : will do . victor : well , i 'm glad you answered . your family needs you . lily : i do n't have time to play games , joe . i have a job to do . joe : well , maybe you have time to explain a few things -- like that call i got yesterday from your father - in - law . lily : i do n't know what you 're talking about . joe : you sure ? because he had to see me right away , or there was no deal , which brought me down here so that you could ransack my suite and look for , uh , a blanket , was it ? lily : yeah . i was cold . joe : so , it was just a coincidence that i left , you were cold , so you could search the room for ... a blanket ? lily : obviously . joe : well , then , maybe i 'm just being paranoid . so ... how 'bout we , uh , make a date for tonight -- pick up right where we left off ? lily : what are you doing ? joe : cane 's filling your head with lies , is n't he ? lily : actually , joe , you 're the liar . joe : since when ? lily : cane found the hoodie in your safe -- the exact same one the guy at the ransom drop was wearing . so , do you want to explain that ? joe : yeah . he 's desperate ? he planted it ? lily : no . i opened the safe myself . i saw inside . joe : so , that 's why you slept with me -- so that you could plant this bogus proof . lily : no . joe , i -- n -- [ sighs ] joe : so , they must have planted it earlier . colin calls me , gets me out of the room , cane shows up . oh , wow . he must have been so surprised to see you in my bed . cane discovers this damning evidence . you 're the bonus witness . wow . he probably almost forgave you for sleeping with me . cane : you said to me you needed evidence to nail him . i hand - delivered it to you . so , why are n't you writing out an arrest warrant ? christine : the hoodie matches dylan 's description , but it does n't mean it was the one worn by the man at the ransom drop , and an identical one was found in your gym locker . cane : you know he 's guilty . paul : there is a bigger issue here , cane -- how the evidence was obtained . there was no warrant . there was no legitimate investigation . cane : i understand it . i do . but i had every right to break in to his room , paul . paul : okay . i 'm gon na pretend like i did n't hear that , and as long as we 're talking off the record , you 're just proving why the evidence is inadmissible ! christine : paul 's right . yes . it 's inadmissible in court , and i 'm sorry if i do n't have a winnable case . cane : all right . it was in his safe . who keeps a hoodie locked in their safe unless they do n't want someone to find it ? think about this ! christine : i have to proceed carefully . i have already made the mistake of trying to build a case against joe for a crime he did n't commit . if i charge him this time , it has to be rock - solid . paul : i 'm sorry . look . listen to me . i understand what you 're saying , and i also believe that your suspicions have merit . but this is not the way . you 've got to let the police build and pursue a case against clark . cane : there is no way i 'm gon na let him get away with framing me . chelsea : all i did was tell victor the truth . adam : the truth ? well , that 's never gotten in my father 's way before . chelsea : i just reminded him of the facts . you ran in to a burning building . you saved lives -- abby 's , ashley 's , ben 's . so maybe you just have to accept the fact that your father finally sees the good in you . he loves the man that you are . adam : look , let 's -- let 's not mistake my father loving me for my father needing me to do something for him . and let 's not forget all the times i 've screwed the man over instead of sending him flowers . chelsea : maybe he 's forgiven you . adam : no . no . i do n't think so . my father 's more of an eye - for - an - eye kind of guy , you know ? i do n't know where we stand as far as who screwed whom over more , but ... there 's a very strong possibility that this is just victor 's way of grinding me into the ground for good . chelsea : i saw him , adam -- the look in his eyes . he seemed genuinely afraid that you were gon na be destroyed in here if he does n't do something . adam : still , though , you know , i need to be prepared for the worst . chelsea : okay , stop it . no more doom and gloom . this is how it 's going to work . you are going to court today , and then you are coming home . you are spending christmas with me and your son . do you believe me ? adam : yeah . yeah , i believe you . billy : i ca n't believe we 're here again . that little bit of justice we got for delia could be ... wiped out today . victoria : you 've been really strong . i know how hard this is for you and for everyone that loved dee dee . billy : yeah . i called chloe last night , you know , just to give her a heads up , in case things do n't go our way . victoria : i hope she is n't headed to town and renting a car or anything like that . billy : [ chuckles ] no , i do n't think so . she , uh -- she promised to leave justice in the hands of the court , though ... i ca n't say that i 'm , uh , too convinced of that . michael : oh . victoria . victoria : hi . michael : billy . this ca n't be an easy day for you . i hope you do n't hold my defense of adam against me . billy : you got a job to do . besides , there 's only one person to blame for how this plays out . abby : dad . hey . what 's the family crisis ? victor : there you are . abby : how can i help ? victor : sweetheart , um ... your brother adam is facing 10 years behind bars , okay -- away from his wife , away from his son . now you can help spare him that if ... you 're willing to testify on his behalf . abby : oh . is that all ? no way in hell . lily : did you hear anything about the hoodie from the police ? cane : the dna was a perfect match , and it was identical to the one worn at the ransom drop . lily : so it 's true ? joe is trying to frame you ? cane : problem is ... as far as the police are concerned , it 's inadmissible , so there 's no proof . the good news is , though , that paul at least believes me , so he 's prepared to investigate . so , we just have to form a case against joe now . lily : [ sighs ] i 'm such an idiot . what was i thinking ? cane : i do n't think you were thinking , were you ? lily : something else that makes me an even bigger idiot . i blurted out to joe that you searched his suite . i 'm sorry . i 'm -- i 'm sorry . i ... he now knows that you 're on to him , and he 's -- he 's gon na retaliate . paul : can i help you ? joe : yeah . i 'd like to report a burglary . topher : hello ? phyllis : hi . topher : uh , i was expecting ... phyllis : me ? [ chuckles ] i 'm the one who contacted you . topher : what exactly is this about ? phyllis : oh , i think you know . your former boss , ian ward ? or is he still your boss ? topher : what ? [ chuckles ] i heard ian 's server was permanently disconnected , if you know what i mean . phyllis : they never found the body , which means there 's a very good chance he 's still alive , biding his time so he can wreak more havoc . topher : i have n't heard from him . besides , when ian started burning buildings , i bailed . the man went certifiable . phyllis : yes , yes , yes , i know . he was bit by the crazy bug a long time ago . topher : look , i already told victor newman everything i know about ian , so ... good luck with ... whatever you 're doing . phyllis : `` everything 's `` a very big word , topher . now , i bet if you just start thinking , you 're gon na remember the teeniest , tiniest bit of information in that gorgeous megabrain of yours . topher : i do n't think there 's anything in this brain that would help you . phyllis : i think you 've got something i want . and i 'm sure i can be much more persuasive than victor . abby : adam killed delia . victor : sweetheart , you 're repeating what everyone is saying . those are not the facts . billy boy abbott left his daughter delia alone in a car at night . that is criminally negligent . adam afterwards hit her , accidentally , all right ? abby : okay . even if it was an accident , paragon was n't . how could you want to help him ? victor : because he 's my son . abby : well , maybe it 's time you cut him loose . victor : sweetheart , it 's time to cut him loose ? are you serious ? i do not turn my back on my children , no matter what happens -- especially not if they 're in danger . abby : [ sighs ] victor : i know i 'm asking a lot of you . but you remember , after all has been said and done , he is your brother . billy : and delia is your cousin . billy : puppetmaster at work , trying to convince her to lie for you . abby : he wants me to tell the truth , billy . billy : oh . oh , the truth ? and what -- what is it , victor 's truth ? because we all know how this plays out , do n't we ? he always wins . but then that 's what this is all about , is n't it -- you manipulating the truth so that your own special brand of justice prevails so that adam can be free and walking the streets by sunset , or maybe i should say , `` dancing on delia 's grave `` ? victor : you obviously do n't know what you 're talking about . chelsea : adam is so sorry about what happened to delia . billy , you know that . billy : you know , when adam said that he was willing to accept his punishment , i - i actually found a little bit of respect for him because he was manning up and there seemed to be this glow of genuine conscience . but you -- you could n't accept that , could you ? no , 'cause your family is above the law . victor : what adam did was accidental ! you know it ! christine : hello ... everyone . is there a problem ? michael : they 're ready to start . victor : i ca n't stand that man . abby wo n't be testifying . michael : adam . chelsea : so , why do you need abby to testify ? i thought it was all taken care of . i mean , we 're gon na win the appeal , right ? it 's guaranteed ? victor : not quite yet . phyllis : you and i are n't so different , you know . topher : we are n't ? phyllis : i was a webmaster once upon a time . i know my html from my http . i made the most of my nibbles and bytes every day . what ? you have trouble believing that ? topher : no way you were ever a geek . phyllis : maybe if you let yourself come out from behind the keyboards and the screens , you 'd find out that you are n't , either . topher , come on . get out of the shadows . use your computer skills for good . you could be a hero . topher : i do n't know . phyllis : the hero always gets the girl . would n't that be nice ? why do n't we make you a big , strong hero right now ? all you have to do is give me one iota of information that 'll help us stop ian . topher : there is one thing i might not have mentioned to victor . ian and i used an encrypted video - chat site to contact each other . phyllis : topher , um ... i have an idea . how 'bout you and me make a video ? christine : a child was killed . and perhaps it was an accident . it does n't change the fact that adam newman chose to conceal his crime and flee justice , and for that , he was sentenced to 10 years -- 10 years for taking the life of a child and for being a coward . 10 years will never make up for the loss of delia abbott , but it will help her family finally get some closure . so , judge , to sentence him to anything less would be a travesty of justice in every sense of the word . elise : thank you , counsel , for your very powerful argument . victor : your family needs you . do n't let us down . michael : a little girl is dead . it is profoundly tragic . but , as the d.a . said , it was an accident . yes , adam newman left the scene , but only because he did not realize he had struck delia abbott . he did not purposely leave her on the side of the road because that is not the man he is . the man he is ... is the person who , when given the choice of whether or not to help people , chooses to risk his life to save theirs . the night of the newman tower fire , he did not run from the fire . he walked in to it . adam newman believed his wife and son were in that building . and even though he had been hit by a car just days before , he left his hospital bed to find them , and when he made sure they were safe , he could have called it a night , but he did not . he went back inside with no thought for his own safety to help those who were trapped . judge moxley , with your permission , i would like to call abby newman to the stand . she is alive to testify because the defendant saved her life . christine : objection . whitewashing him as a hero in a blatant attempt to absolve him is bad enough , but a surprise witness who happens to be the convicted 's sister ? elise : i 'll allow it . christine : your honor ! elise : thank you . thank you , counsel . michael : what is your opinion of your brother ? abby : do i have to answer that ? michael : please . abby : um ... adam is all about adam . michael : except on the night of the fire ? abby : that 's true . michael : it must have been terrifying . abby : it was . michael : could you walk us through that night ? abby : well , um ... when the fire broke out , i was separated from my mom and my fiancé , ben . and when i found them , they were trapped . ben was very badly hurt . he was unconscious , and there were smoke and flames everywhere . my mom and i , um -- we tried to move ben , but we could n't so i went to get help . i thought that it was hopeless . i thought that we were gon na die . michael : but adam fought his way through the smoke , fire , the destruction to help you all to safety . he did n't have to do help you , did he ? after all , as you said ... adam 's all about adam . he could have kept walking out of the fire , away from his prison sentence , into a new life . but he did n't , did he ? he had no moral obligation to risk his life . but this time adam did n't run . abby : no . he did n't run , and we 're alive because of him , and i 'm very grateful . michael : tell me , ms . newman , do you believe that adam ... has suffered from his crime ... abby : [ sniffles ] michael : ... and learned from it ? abby : i have to say , um ... yes . phyllis : okay . you ready ? topher : uh , yeah . sorry . uh ... all set . phyllis : hello , ian . i imagine you 're surprised to hear from me since the last time i saw you i was very angry . i said some horrible things . that 's because you made a fool of me , and you know how much i hate that . but you were right about one thing -- i did want to see victor suffer , and he is ... thanks to you and paragon . you once said that i would sell you out to victor without a second thought , and even though i have been angry at you for a long time , you 're very wrong . i remember the man who made me trout amandine ... and who told me to love myself no matter what . that 's the man i 'm trying to save . that 's the man i am trying to warn right now . ian , victor is out for blood . he is setting a trap , and i am worried . i need you to contact me any way you can , if not just to tell me that you 're still alive . please . [ cell phone beeps ] topher : well ... if ian 's still monitoring his account , you 'll definitely get his attention . phyllis : you 're sweet . but ian 's a tougher crowd -- a lot more treacherous . phyllis : hello , ian . paul : so , uh , this burglary -- was there something valuable taken ? joe : i 'm not sure . i have n't had a chance to inventory all my things yet . paul : but you 're absolutely positive you were burgled ? joe : yes , last night . i left my suite for about 5 , 10 minutes . came back , and my room was ransacked . and then today i find out from lily that cane was there . paul : oh . do you recognize that ? lily : i ca n't believe what a mess i 've made of everything . i 'm really sorry . cane : is joe still interested in you , after everything that went down ? lily : guess . cane : then i 'm gon na need your help to clear my name . lily : me ? cane : yeah . 'cause if he believes you 're still on his side , then there 's a chance that he will slip -- let his guard down . lily : you want me to help you ? does that mean that ... you forgive me ? victor : i think we have a very strong case , thanks to the testimony of your sister . are you willing to follow the terms of our agreement ? adam : signed and sealed , as long as it 's still heard . elise : this has been a very difficult decision . a child has been taken , and a family will never be the same . and while my heart goes out to the abbott family and the loss of their child , i must recognize that the defendant did not act out of intended malice or cruelty and has since shown remorse ... and acted heroically . therefore , i believe the original sentence was too harsh . i hereby reduce mr. adam newman 's sentence to 5 years ' probation and 1,000 hours community service . chelsea : [ laughs ] elise : however , there is one caveat to that arrangement . you so much as jaywalk , and you will feel the full weight of the law . there will be no more second chances , mr. newman . chelsea : [ laughs ] oh , thank god , adam ! ohh . ohh . paul : does that belong to you ? joe : not my color . paul : really ? 'cause it was found in your suite . joe : oh . it was brought to you as evidence ? paul : evidence ? has there been a crime ? joe : i 'd hate to file another harassment charge against this department . paul : oh , come on , joe . i 'm only looking for the truth . joe : i 'll tell you the truth -- i 'm innocent . cane ashby is n't being framed here . i am . cane : right now my priority is clearing myself of these extortion charges , so ... lily : i 'm so sorry . cane : i do n't think `` sorry 's `` gon na fix it . i just do n't . lily : i know . cane : let 's just , um ... let 's just move forward now and we 'll see where this takes us , and , um ... are you gon na help me ? you gon na help me clear my name ? lily : of course i 'm gon na help you . of course . i will do anything that i can . cane : all right . let 's bring down joe clark . lily : together . phyllis : wow . look at all of those leaked newman documents . such a pity . [ gasps ] yes ! gotcha ! victor : who exactly did you get ? victoria : i know you 're not okay right now ... but i do n't really have any words to make this better for you . abby : billy . please do n't hate me . i know that you 're my family , but adam 's my family , too . i only told the truth . billy : not gon na be angry at you for telling the truth , abby . abby : [ sighs ] thank you . billy : sure . victoria : i 'm surprised you 're not more furious . billy : did this ever have a chance of playing out any other way ? hmm ? you know , i - i knew that strings were gon na be pulled , favors were gon na be called in . it 's the same old game . victoria : you 're not angry at adam ? it 's my father ? billy : chalk up another win for your old man . victoria : you 're planning some move against my family to get back at my dad . billy : oh , how can i do that ? victoria : do n't start with the denials , billy . just stop it . whatever you 're planning , stop it . adam : oh , look -- a tree . chelsea : yeah . adam : huh . chelsea : it would n't be christmas without a tree or without you here to decorate it . adam : yeah . wow . i mean , this is great . you really did -- you really did think i 'd be home , did n't you -- that you 'd have something to celebrate ? chelsea : yeah . you , me , connor ... adam : yeah ? chelsea : ... our future , our life together . adam : let me ask you a question . chelsea : mm - hmm ? adam : what are the odds ... of me ... getting to unwrap ... my favorite christmas present a little early ? what 's the over - under on that ? chelsea : it 's good . adam : it 's good ? chelsea : yeah . adam : yeah ? [ speaks indistinctly ] [ next_on ] chelsea : actually , we do have something hanging over us . adam : what 's that ? dr. anderson : sharon ... sharon : no , my mind 's made up . dylan and i are bringing our son home . sage : it 's obvious that your father needs you right now . you 're being very selfish . nick : sage !

<s>[INST] billy : here 's the feasibility study for expanding into the south asian market . phyllis : if you 're looking for jack , he 's in geneva , tracking down a hacker connected to ian ward . kevin went along for the ride , so that 's nice . billy : and jack says my plans always backfire . phyllis : you made up this lead . billy : he was on to us , so i created a little ... diversionary tactic . phyllis : you diverted my husband to switzerland ! you sent him on some hacker chase . billy : well , maybe he 'll bring you back some chocolate . phyllis : billy ... this plan of yours ... might give us some time to wrangle ian ward , but that does not mean i am a fan . billy : when we get through with victor , he 's not gon na know what hit him . phyllis : i hope you 're right , because i can not wait for that psychopath to be caught . billy : which one ? phyllis : i do n't know . maybe we 're gon na get lucky . maybe they 'll destroy each other . [ footsteps approach ] billy : hey . victoria : and i thought the only one getting destroyed today would be adam . chelsea : hi . adam : hey . chelsea : how are you doing ? adam : uh ... chelsea : are you still hurt ? adam : no . um ... cameras , no touching -- all that kind of stuff . i 'm fine . sit down . chelsea : are you -- are you sure you 're okay ? adam : yeah . i 'm good as new . i 'm good . chelsea : you 'll be good when you 're home -- with me and connor . [ sighs ] maybe that 's what i should have asked santa for . adam : well ... i do n't believe in santa claus , but i do believe in victor newman . you know , he came by here -- paid me a visit . i think our deal 's back in play . chelsea : that 's amazing news ! i - i knew he would pull through . s - so , why -- why do n't you look happy ? adam : why do n't i look happy ? because i know my father . he 's playing the judge card , but that does n't mean that it 's gon na go in my favor . chelsea : okay . ca n't we just ... think `` glass half full `` for a little while ? i mean , victor -- he loves you , and he wants to help . adam : or he 's just trying to get my hopes up so he can watch me crash and burn in court . chelsea : that 's sadistic . victor would n't do that . adam : would n't he ? victor : well , michael baldwin , this is going to be a good day . i can feel it . michael : well , i 'm glad to see you 're in such high spirits . but please spare me the details about why you 're so optimistic that adam 's sentence will be reduced . victor : well , my optimism springs solely from the fact that i hired the best lawyer in genoa city to defend my son . and , of course , then there 's the fairness of the justice system . michael : [ chortles ] [ coughs ] excuse me . victor : [ chuckles ] michael : [ chuckles ] [ cell phone rings ] victor : excuse me . you have some good news for me , i presume ? elise : i have made a decision regarding your son 's case . i 'm afraid it 's not going to be the slam - dunk you expected . victor : uh , kindly tell me more . elise : i 'm going to let adam 's sentence stand . victor : i would n't make a rash decision if i were you . you and i had an agreement . elise : blackmail , victor . it 's called `` blackmail . `` so you want to go public with our affair ? i 'm willing to take that risk . meanwhile , i 'm going to listen to the evidence and rule in accordance with the law . so , you better tell michael baldwin to bring everything he 's got ... or your son 's going to prison for a very long time . in fact , i might even make the term longer , just for the fun of it . no christine : well , we could not ask for a better judge . moxley is gon na make the right decision about adam 's appeal . however , i have to admit i was a little worried when she wanted to recuse herself . paul : well , you know , i have the -- here you go . christine : thank you . paul : the ultimate confidence in the judge ... and the star d.a . christine : thank you . cane : so , what did forensics find on joe clark 's hoodie ? paul : yeah . we got plenty of dna -- joe 's dna -- on the hoodie . cane : so now you can arrest him for extortion and trying to frame me , right ? christine : i 'm afraid that 's not gon na happen , though . cane : so , what -- you 're just gon na let him walk the streets so he 's free to hurt somebody else ? is that what you 're gon na do ? joe : hey . lily : hi . joe : wow . seeing your face puts me in such the holiday spirit . lily : good morning . joe : good morning . can i interest you in some breakfast ? lily : uh ... i 'm right in the middle of doing the seating chart for this big party . you know how it gets crazy around here during the holidays . joe : yeah . how 'bout some dinner ? lily : i 'm really swamped , joe . can we just talk later ? joe : lily ... what kind of game are you playing ? victoria : who exactly are you hoping will destroy each other ? phyllis : our competition has n't been playing fair . i 'm ready for the karma to kick in . victoria : which companies ? phyllis : actually , they 're new to the game -- greenbow and audrey cosmetics . subpar product , purposely misleading branding . they 're hacks . they 're cutting in to jabot 's profits . billy : listen , um , adam 's sentencing appeal starts soon , and i want a front- row seat . i owe it to dee dee to see this through to the end , no matter how bitter it may be . victoria : i know . that 's why i 'm here . i was thinking that maybe you could use some moral support . billy : thank you . that ... means a lot . um ... give me a few minutes and i 'll wrap things up here , okay ? victoria : okay . phyllis : you 're playing with fire when it comes to victoria . billy : no , i 'm not . i 've got it handled . phyllis : she was suspicious . she does n't miss a thing . billy : well , then , we keep diverting attention , phyllis . it 's all smoke and mirrors . phyllis : you know , maybe jack was right to worry about you . your obsession with revenge might just backfire all over you ! billy : we are this close to having victor where we want him , and i 'm doing this , with or without you . phyllis : look , i want victor to burn just as much as you do . but that means we play this smart . no one that we care about can get hurt in a crossfire . chelsea : victor would n't go to all this trouble and try to get you out of here just to end up yanking the rug out from under you . adam : i mean , honestly , that -- that sounds exactly like something victor would do . chelsea : adam , you promised that we 'd have a life together . you promised . this is our chance , so do n't doubt this . do n't doubt victor . adam : yeah . okay . chelsea , you know , i really hope you 're not forgetting this is the same man that went back on this promise once before . i mean , i do n't understand what 's going on here . one minute he wants me out of here , and the next minute , you know , i 'm a liar and i deserve to serve every hour of my sentence . chelsea : why are you so determined to believe this is n't going to happen ? adam : history ... sweetheart , history . and with this , you know , victor -- this is n't exactly a `` get out of jail free `` card . chelsea : connor and i just want you home . i do n't care how it happens -- strings , no strings , a deal with the devil or not . we just want you home ... safe , with us . that 's all that matters . adam : you know if his moxley gambit works , i 'm gon na owe victor a couple pounds of flesh . you know that . you 're the one that saved me , though . do you realize what you 've done ? you did something no one else has been able to do . chelsea , you took on victor ... and you won . victor : i expect you to be flawless in court -- and brilliant . michael : that is my intention , especially the `` brilliant `` part . victor : mm . michael : our arguments are on point and very strong . victor : strong enough ? michael : what happened to complete faith in my abilities ? victor : do n't underestimate what we 're up against . michael : i know exactly what we 're up against . victor : hmm . michael : i plan on pulling every rabbit i have out of my hat . victor : maybe we should add another rabbit -- a surprise witness . michael : this is n't a suggestion , is it ? who do you have in mind ? victor : i 'll let you know . michael : judges hate surprises . so does christine . victor : [ inhales deeply ] i 'll be in touch , okay ? michael : [ chuckles ] i 've forgotten what it 's like working for you . victor : you have ? well , you never know what 's gon na happen , do you ? michael : no . bring on the challenges . victor : all right , michael baldwin . michael : mr. newman . victor : do your best . michael : will do . victor : well , i 'm glad you answered . your family needs you . lily : i do n't have time to play games , joe . i have a job to do . joe : well , maybe you have time to explain a few things -- like that call i got yesterday from your father - in - law . lily : i do n't know what you 're talking about . joe : you sure ? because he had to see me right away , or there was no deal , which brought me down here so that you could ransack my suite and look for , uh , a blanket , was it ? lily : yeah . i was cold . joe : so , it was just a coincidence that i left , you were cold , so you could search the room for ... a blanket ? lily : obviously . joe : well , then , maybe i 'm just being paranoid . so ... how 'bout we , uh , make a date for tonight -- pick up right where we left off ? lily : what are you doing ? joe : cane 's filling your head with lies , is n't he ? lily : actually , joe , you 're the liar . joe : since when ? lily : cane found the hoodie in your safe -- the exact same one the guy at the ransom drop was wearing . so , do you want to explain that ? joe : yeah . he 's desperate ? he planted it ? lily : no . i opened the safe myself . i saw inside . joe : so , that 's why you slept with me -- so that you could plant this bogus proof . lily : no . joe , i -- n -- [ sighs ] joe : so , they must have planted it earlier . colin calls me , gets me out of the room , cane shows up . oh , wow . he must have been so surprised to see you in my bed . cane discovers this damning evidence . you 're the bonus witness . wow . he probably almost forgave you for sleeping with me . cane : you said to me you needed evidence to nail him . i hand - delivered it to you . so , why are n't you writing out an arrest warrant ? christine : the hoodie matches dylan 's description , but it does n't mean it was the one worn by the man at the ransom drop , and an identical one was found in your gym locker . cane : you know he 's guilty . paul : there is a bigger issue here , cane -- how the evidence was obtained . there was no warrant . there was no legitimate investigation . cane : i understand it . i do . but i had every right to break in to his room , paul . paul : okay . i 'm gon na pretend like i did n't hear that , and as long as we 're talking off the record , you 're just proving why the evidence is inadmissible ! christine : paul 's right . yes . it 's inadmissible in court , and i 'm sorry if i do n't have a winnable case . cane : all right . it was in his safe . who keeps a hoodie locked in their safe unless they do n't want someone to find it ? think about this ! christine : i have to proceed carefully . i have already made the mistake of trying to build a case against joe for a crime he did n't commit . if i charge him this time , it has to be rock - solid . paul : i 'm sorry . look . listen to me . i understand what you 're saying , and i also believe that your suspicions have merit . but this is not the way . you 've got to let the police build and pursue a case against clark . cane : there is no way i 'm gon na let him get away with framing me . chelsea : all i did was tell victor the truth . adam : the truth ? well , that 's never gotten in my father 's way before . chelsea : i just reminded him of the facts . you ran in to a burning building . you saved lives -- abby 's , ashley 's , ben 's . so maybe you just have to accept the fact that your father finally sees the good in you . he loves the man that you are . adam : look , let 's -- let 's not mistake my father loving me for my father needing me to do something for him . and let 's not forget all the times i 've screwed the man over instead of sending him flowers . chelsea : maybe he 's forgiven you . adam : no . no . i do n't think so . my father 's more of an eye - for - an - eye kind of guy , you know ? i do n't know where we stand as far as who screwed whom over more , but ... there 's a very strong possibility that this is just victor 's way of grinding me into the ground for good . chelsea : i saw him , adam -- the look in his eyes . he seemed genuinely afraid that you were gon na be destroyed in here if he does n't do something . adam : still , though , you know , i need to be prepared for the worst . chelsea : okay , stop it . no more doom and gloom . this is how it 's going to work . you are going to court today , and then you are coming home . you are spending christmas with me and your son . do you believe me ? adam : yeah . yeah , i believe you . billy : i ca n't believe we 're here again . that little bit of justice we got for delia could be ... wiped out today . victoria : you 've been really strong . i know how hard this is for you and for everyone that loved dee dee . billy : yeah . i called chloe last night , you know , just to give her a heads up , in case things do n't go our way . victoria : i hope she is n't headed to town and renting a car or anything like that . billy : [ chuckles ] no , i do n't think so . she , uh -- she promised to leave justice in the hands of the court , though ... i ca n't say that i 'm , uh , too convinced of that . michael : oh . victoria . victoria : hi . michael : billy . this ca n't be an easy day for you . i hope you do n't hold my defense of adam against me . billy : you got a job to do . besides , there 's only one person to blame for how this plays out . abby : dad . hey . what 's the family crisis ? victor : there you are . abby : how can i help ? victor : sweetheart , um ... your brother adam is facing 10 years behind bars , okay -- away from his wife , away from his son . now you can help spare him that if ... you 're willing to testify on his behalf . abby : oh . is that all ? no way in hell . lily : did you hear anything about the hoodie from the police ? cane : the dna was a perfect match , and it was identical to the one worn at the ransom drop . lily : so it 's true ? joe is trying to frame you ? cane : problem is ... as far as the police are concerned , it 's inadmissible , so there 's no proof . the good news is , though , that paul at least believes me , so he 's prepared to investigate . so , we just have to form a case against joe now . lily : [ sighs ] i 'm such an idiot . what was i thinking ? cane : i do n't think you were thinking , were you ? lily : something else that makes me an even bigger idiot . i blurted out to joe that you searched his suite . i 'm sorry . i 'm -- i 'm sorry . i ... he now knows that you 're on to him , and he 's -- he 's gon na retaliate . paul : can i help you ? joe : yeah . i 'd like to report a burglary . topher : hello ? phyllis : hi . topher : uh , i was expecting ... phyllis : me ? [ chuckles ] i 'm the one who contacted you . topher : what exactly is this about ? phyllis : oh , i think you know . your former boss , ian ward ? or is he still your boss ? topher : what ? [ chuckles ] i heard ian 's server was permanently disconnected , if you know what i mean . phyllis : they never found the body , which means there 's a very good chance he 's still alive , biding his time so he can wreak more havoc . topher : i have n't heard from him . besides , when ian started burning buildings , i bailed . the man went certifiable . phyllis : yes , yes , yes , i know . he was bit by the crazy bug a long time ago . topher : look , i already told victor newman everything i know about ian , so ... good luck with ... whatever you 're doing . phyllis : `` everything 's `` a very big word , topher . now , i bet if you just start thinking , you 're gon na remember the teeniest , tiniest bit of information in that gorgeous megabrain of yours . topher : i do n't think there 's anything in this brain that would help you . phyllis : i think you 've got something i want . and i 'm sure i can be much more persuasive than victor . abby : adam killed delia . victor : sweetheart , you 're repeating what everyone is saying . those are not the facts . billy boy abbott left his daughter delia alone in a car at night . that is criminally negligent . adam afterwards hit her , accidentally , all right ? abby : okay . even if it was an accident , paragon was n't . how could you want to help him ? victor : because he 's my son . abby : well , maybe it 's time you cut him loose . victor : sweetheart , it 's time to cut him loose ? are you serious ? i do not turn my back on my children , no matter what happens -- especially not if they 're in danger . abby : [ sighs ] victor : i know i 'm asking a lot of you . but you remember , after all has been said and done , he is your brother . billy : and delia is your cousin . billy : puppetmaster at work , trying to convince her to lie for you . abby : he wants me to tell the truth , billy . billy : oh . oh , the truth ? and what -- what is it , victor 's truth ? because we all know how this plays out , do n't we ? he always wins . but then that 's what this is all about , is n't it -- you manipulating the truth so that your own special brand of justice prevails so that adam can be free and walking the streets by sunset , or maybe i should say , `` dancing on delia 's grave `` ? victor : you obviously do n't know what you 're talking about . chelsea : adam is so sorry about what happened to delia . billy , you know that . billy : you know , when adam said that he was willing to accept his punishment , i - i actually found a little bit of respect for him because he was manning up and there seemed to be this glow of genuine conscience . but you -- you could n't accept that , could you ? no , 'cause your family is above the law . victor : what adam did was accidental ! you know it ! christine : hello ... everyone . is there a problem ? michael : they 're ready to start . victor : i ca n't stand that man . abby wo n't be testifying . michael : adam . chelsea : so , why do you need abby to testify ? i thought it was all taken care of . i mean , we 're gon na win the appeal , right ? it 's guaranteed ? victor : not quite yet . phyllis : you and i are n't so different , you know . topher : we are n't ? phyllis : i was a webmaster once upon a time . i know my html from my http . i made the most of my nibbles and bytes every day . what ? you have trouble believing that ? topher : no way you were ever a geek . phyllis : maybe if you let yourself come out from behind the keyboards and the screens , you 'd find out that you are n't , either . topher , come on . get out of the shadows . use your computer skills for good . you could be a hero . topher : i do n't know . phyllis : the hero always gets the girl . would n't that be nice ? why do n't we make you a big , strong hero right now ? all you have to do is give me one iota of information that 'll help us stop ian . topher : there is one thing i might not have mentioned to victor . ian and i used an encrypted video - chat site to contact each other . phyllis : topher , um ... i have an idea . how 'bout you and me make a video ? christine : a child was killed . and perhaps it was an accident . it does n't change the fact that adam newman chose to conceal his crime and flee justice , and for that , he was sentenced to 10 years -- 10 years for taking the life of a child and for being a coward . 10 years will never make up for the loss of delia abbott , but it will help her family finally get some closure . so , judge , to sentence him to anything less would be a travesty of justice in every sense of the word . elise : thank you , counsel , for your very powerful argument . victor : your family needs you . do n't let us down . michael : a little girl is dead . it is profoundly tragic . but , as the d.a . said , it was an accident . yes , adam newman left the scene , but only because he did not realize he had struck delia abbott . he did not purposely leave her on the side of the road because that is not the man he is . the man he is ... is the person who , when given the choice of whether or not to help people , chooses to risk his life to save theirs . the night of the newman tower fire , he did not run from the fire . he walked in to it . adam newman believed his wife and son were in that building . and even though he had been hit by a car just days before , he left his hospital bed to find them , and when he made sure they were safe , he could have called it a night , but he did not . he went back inside with no thought for his own safety to help those who were trapped . judge moxley , with your permission , i would like to call abby newman to the stand . she is alive to testify because the defendant saved her life . christine : objection . whitewashing him as a hero in a blatant attempt to absolve him is bad enough , but a surprise witness who happens to be the convicted 's sister ? elise : i 'll allow it . christine : your honor ! elise : thank you . thank you , counsel . michael : what is your opinion of your brother ? abby : do i have to answer that ? michael : please . abby : um ... adam is all about adam . michael : except on the night of the fire ? abby : that 's true . michael : it must have been terrifying . abby : it was . michael : could you walk us through that night ? abby : well , um ... when the fire broke out , i was separated from my mom and my fiancé , ben . and when i found them , they were trapped . ben was very badly hurt . he was unconscious , and there were smoke and flames everywhere . my mom and i , um -- we tried to move ben , but we could n't so i went to get help . i thought that it was hopeless . i thought that we were gon na die . michael : but adam fought his way through the smoke , fire , the destruction to help you all to safety . he did n't have to do help you , did he ? after all , as you said ... adam 's all about adam . he could have kept walking out of the fire , away from his prison sentence , into a new life . but he did n't , did he ? he had no moral obligation to risk his life . but this time adam did n't run . abby : no . he did n't run , and we 're alive because of him , and i 'm very grateful . michael : tell me , ms . newman , do you believe that adam ... has suffered from his crime ... abby : [ sniffles ] michael : ... and learned from it ? abby : i have to say , um ... yes . phyllis : okay . you ready ? topher : uh , yeah . sorry . uh ... all set . phyllis : hello , ian . i imagine you 're surprised to hear from me since the last time i saw you i was very angry . i said some horrible things . that 's because you made a fool of me , and you know how much i hate that . but you were right about one thing -- i did want to see victor suffer , and he is ... thanks to you and paragon . you once said that i would sell you out to victor without a second thought , and even though i have been angry at you for a long time , you 're very wrong . i remember the man who made me trout amandine ... and who told me to love myself no matter what . that 's the man i 'm trying to save . that 's the man i am trying to warn right now . ian , victor is out for blood . he is setting a trap , and i am worried . i need you to contact me any way you can , if not just to tell me that you 're still alive . please . [ cell phone beeps ] topher : well ... if ian 's still monitoring his account , you 'll definitely get his attention . phyllis : you 're sweet . but ian 's a tougher crowd -- a lot more treacherous . phyllis : hello , ian . paul : so , uh , this burglary -- was there something valuable taken ? joe : i 'm not sure . i have n't had a chance to inventory all my things yet . paul : but you 're absolutely positive you were burgled ? joe : yes , last night . i left my suite for about 5 , 10 minutes . came back , and my room was ransacked . and then today i find out from lily that cane was there . paul : oh . do you recognize that ? lily : i ca n't believe what a mess i 've made of everything . i 'm really sorry . cane : is joe still interested in you , after everything that went down ? lily : guess . cane : then i 'm gon na need your help to clear my name . lily : me ? cane : yeah .

[ scene_break ] maggie : like paris ? mmm . you 're in a good mood . victor : well , have you ever had roast chicken the way they do it in paris ? there 's nothing like it . we can talk about our future . maggie : before you start warming up the jet ... i think there 's something we should clear up -- a little , small misunderstanding . victor : what 's that ? maggie : you said i threw out chloe , and i did n't . she decided to stand on her own two feet . she left voluntarily . victor : so you 're saying if she had n't made that decision , she 'd still be staying here with you ? that 's what brady implied . i just assumed that -- maggie : that i had seen the light . the light being your way of doing things . victor : i think you 're about to tell me that i was wrong . maggie : oh , i do n't blame you , you know . i was just hoping that you 'd change for me too . so i guess we both need to accept the fact that that 's never gon na happen . [ scene_break ] brady : okay , i know where this is going . do n't expect me to get on a white horse anytime soon to rescue nicole from ej , okay ? taylor : why not ? brady : why not ? because ... we do n't -- we do n't work . every time we 're together , we bring out the worst in one another . i 've made my peace with it , and i think nicole has too . [ scene_break ] nicole : do not feel sorry for yourself , nicole . remember what they say : do n't get mad ... get even . i am not gon na let you get away with this , taylor . not with brady . not my brady . you want a fight , little girl ? you got one . [ scene_break ] lexie : if you love taylor so much , why did n't you just go ahead and divorce nicole ? ej : [ sighs ] be -- because i just -- i -- i just could n't , all right ? i could n't . lexie : why not ? what are you , some kind of masochist ? ej ... why honey , don � t you want to be happy ? ej : oh , of course i want to be happy , lexie ! lexie : well , i -- you made promises to taylor , all right ? i mean , you told her you wanted to be together . ej : no . i told her ... that i did n't have a choice . and that was the truth . lexie : what do you mean you do n't have a choice ? you are ej dimera ! nicole has something on you , does n't she ? ohh ! is something big , is n't it ? [ scene_break ] victor : so if you ca n't change and i ca n't change ... what does that mean for us ? maggie : you know , there are a lot of things about you that i would n't change for the world . victor : let 's go with that for a while . maggie : i love the way you love your family , you know that ? [ giggles ] you , um ... you 're not gushy or sentimental . and you drive them crazy . [ sighs ] but i think , inside each one of your children and grandchildren , they have that secret knowledge that you 'd ... walk into a burning building for them , and i like that a lot . i also like the fact ... that you endowed a new children 's wing at the hospital . and you did it anonymously . victor : could n't be too anonymous , if you know about it . maggie : i have a lot of spies everywhere . and i like that when we got to know each other better , that you brought some fun in my life . and i needed some fun . victor : yes , you did . maggie : but knowing all those things about you ... it makes it all the more painful ... [ sighs ] the way you would turn hard and cold when you were dealing with someone ... that you decided was your enemy . like that poor , messed - up girl , chloe . heh , see ? there it is . it 's too hard , victor , to be with you . i 'm sorry . [ scene_break ] taylor : hey , thanks for being such a good friend when i needed one . brady : it 's all right . you 're gon na be all right , yeah ? taylor : yeah . brady : okay . taylor : see you . brady : see you . [ scene_break ] nicole : hey . do n't go yet . have another drink . fact is ... you 're gon na need one . [ scene_break ] lexie : so ... what does nicole have on you ? no , do n't tell me , do n't tell me -- i do n't want to know . ej : no , actually , lexie ... you know , you come down here , you stick your nose in . i think the least that you can do is listen to my side . lexie : which is ... ej : do you really believe that i would deliberately break taylor 's heart ? lexie : let me put it this way ... i have a hard time picturing you love struck . because love means putting someone else 's good before your own and you just do n't think that way , ej . ej : no , that is exactly what i was going to do for taylor if nicole had n't intervened . lexie : oh , i see , so it 's all nicole 's fault . i mean , forget the fact that you married her so that you could have a live - in nanny and drive sami crazy at the same time , and then snuck around behind her back with her sister . that damn nicole . i mean , she 's got a hell of a nerve , does n't she ? ej : what , are you standing up for her now ? lexie : i 'm just saying that the way you live your life has come back to bite you . so , what -- what happened ? did nicole find out about you and taylor ? ej : no . nope , something much , much worse than that . what nicole knows could put father and me behind bars for the rest of our lives . lexie : oh , my god . well , what have you two done ? ej : lexie , the only thing you need to know is that ... if i did n't break it off with taylor , i would have lost my freedom , father would have lost his freedom . i would never have seen my children again . lexie : [ sighs ] ej : so maybe now you 'll believe me when i tell you that i truly did n't have a choice . lexie : so you and nicole hammered out some sort of a deal ? ej : ha ! hammered being the operative bloody word . if i do n't stay married to nicole , if anything unfortunate happens to her ... her lawyer has instructions to forward the evidence she collected to the relevant parties . lexie : wow . she wants to stay married to you that badly ? ej : what ? me ? oh , please . this has nothing to do with me . this is about the children . lexie : you are such an idiot , ej . ej : thank you , lexie . i think i needed to hear that . lexie : you married that pit - bull nicole , started romancing her sister on the side , and at the same time you were up to no good with father , and were so sloppy about it that nicole found out . i mean , how else would you describe yourself ? ej : arrogant . lexie : [ scoffs ] well ... ej : completely arrogant . i do n't know . lexie : of course , you ca n't tell taylor ... the real reason you 're staying with nicole , because that would blow this whole image that he has of you . ej : you have no idea , lie , how hard i was gon na try to be the man that i could see in her eyes . lexie : you 're right , i do n't . ej : well ... , you asked for an explanation . i gave you one . i did it because you care about taylor . so now i need you to promise me that you 're not going to repeat any of that to her . lexie : [ sighs ] ej : look , taylor , more than anything else in the world , i want there to be a day when you are happy to love me . and i want that day to come soon . [ next_on ] taylor : taylor , you 're stupid . you 're so stupid , and you got what you deserve . sami : he 's sorry ? that son a -- sorry ? ! brady : i know what 's going on here . maggie : so you 're saying that you 're afraid that you wo n't be able to change ?
at the dimera mansion , taylor thought she made a mistake going back to the mansion . ej stopped her because he ca n't let her go . she told him he already did . she said he pushed her away . she wanted him to take his hands off of her . he apologized . he told her the situation was out of control . she wanted to know what he was talking about , but he could n't tell her . she did n't believe a word that he said . she reminded him that he was supposed to leave nicole , but they 're back together . she thought he was being forced to stay with nicole . she asked if that was it , but he did n't answer her . she wanted to know what game he was playing . he wanted her to know that he would be with her if he could . he said he loved her . she was glad he said that and wanted him to promise he would never hurt nicole . he promised he would . at the pier , nicole told stefano that she was thankful that rafe did the right thing by leaving sami and leaving town . she thought things would go smoother with him gone . ej would n't have to worry about the kids with rafe . stefano said there was a chance that he could come back . nicole did n't think so . stefano learned over the years to never try and predict the future . he did think that rafe would n't come back . nicole talked about the changes in rafe since the accident . she told him how rafe hit on her . stefano thought sami would blame her for the breakup . nicole did n't care as long as sami kept her hands off of ej . the two continued to talk about ej and sami . when he left , she was surprised that ej did n't tell stefano about the blackmail . on the pier , brady told victor that chloe was moving out of maggie 's house . victor thought that was the best news . it dawned on victor that chloe did n't have any money so why would she leave . brady said she wanted to start her life over . brady got a call and stepped away . victor thought that maggie must have kicked her out and he knew why .
<s>[INST] ej : you came back . taylor : yeah , and it was a mistake . i 'm going . ej : wait , please ! i ca n't let you go . taylor : you know what ? you already did . you pushed me away , and now i am going . get your hands off of me .

[ scene_break ] nicole : stefano , good lord . you scared me half to death . it 's pretty embarrassing when someone catches you talking to yourself , heh , you know ? stefano : just answer the question . why are you thankful to rafael hernandez ? nicole : well , it 's simple . really . i 'm glad he made the right decision -- leaving sami , taking off to places unknown . with him out of her life , things 'll be a lot smoother . ej wo n't have to worry about his kids with that guy . good riddance . stefano : definitely . unless ... nicole : what ? stefano : [ sighs ] there is always a possibility ... that rafael might come back . nicole : really ? i doubt that would happen . i 'm sure you do too , right ? stefano : you know , nicole , the thing that i 've learned over the years is that never try to predict the future . nicole : hmm . but with rafe , if you had to place a bet -- stefano : all right , yes . okay , fine . my feeling is that he will not come back . nicole : yeah . you know , after the car accident , he went through some heavy- duty changes , did n't he ? uh . yeah , he was n't the old rafe . it was too weird . do you know he hit on me ? can you believe that ? stefano : ohh ... he made advances on you ? nicole : yes , he used the whole latin lover routine . you know , one minute we 're talkin ' , the next minute we 're lip - lockin ' . stefano : [ chuckling ] really ? nicole : you know what that kiss says to me ? `` sami who `` ? stefano : [ laughing ] nicole : what ? stefano : well , what it means to me is that samantha 's gon na blame you now for the breakup of her marriage . nicole : yeah , probably right , but who cares as long as that bitch keeps her hands off my husband . stefano : hmm , well , as far as the way i know samantha , i would not hold my breath if i were you . nicole : stefano , do n't say that . stefano : believe me , nicole , the last person that i want back in my life or my son 's is samantha . but ... i 'm not a fool . and neither are you . elvis is his own man so you should n't be surprised that another woman comes up in his life . nicole : that 's not gon na happen . he 's my husband . stefano : for now . and if you play it cool , i mean , he might put more of his concentration on you . but if you press too hard , i mean , you ask too much of the man -- nicole : stefano , i can do whatever i want . and ej will suck it up and remember that he 's mine for good . stefano : [ chuckles ] you 're pretty full of yourself tonight , are n't you ?

[ chuckles ] or you want to boss me around . well , that 's not gon na happen . woman on tv : you 're right , darling . i 'm being silly . maggie : no , you 're not . victor : you 're damn right you are ! woman on tv : i 'd love to meet you halfway ! it 's just -- man on tv : that you ca n't . or you wo n't come here . i 'm gon na give you the reason of a lifetime why you must . woman on tv : meohh ! [ scene_break ] ej : okay , look , i 'm sorry . all right ? i 'm sorry . i would never hurt you . taylor : really ? ej : i would never intentionally hurt you . please , taylor , i 'm just trying to get you to understand . this situation is completely out of my control . taylor : what situation ? ej : i ca n't -- i ... i - i ca n't tell you . i i 'm sorry . taylor : that 's fine , ej . it 's probably good , because , you know , obviously i can not believe a word that comes out of your mouth . you say you 're gon na leave nicole and that we 're gon na be together , and now it 's just -- all this just does n't make any sense . ej : [ sighs ] i know . taylor : it 's like you 're being forced to be with her . what ... are you ? [ scene_break ] nicole : you 're right . you 're right , i , uh , i do n't have any power over him . stefano : good . see ? telling the truth is always the best . nicole : let 's just say i am counting on him to remember that i care about him and his children more than anyone ever will . and no matter how sweet everyone thinks she is or what he thinks he sees in her ... stefano : [ grunts ] who in the world are we talking about ? nicole : no one . it 's not important . stefano : hmm ... anyway , keep your eye on the ball ... sweetheart . all right ? and do n't get too smart . you know , you are a very good stepmother , but you have to know your place . because if you ever try to hurt my son , you 're not only going to have to deal with him ... gon na have to deal with me . [ kiss ] stefano : ciao . nicole : so ej did n't tell stefano that i 'm blackmailing him . interesting . [ scene_break ] taylor : would you answer me ? ej : look , taylor , the reason that i 've decided that we ca n't be together is not important . taylor : oh , it 's not ? ej : it 's not important , no . what is important is that you understand how i feel about you ! taylor : okay . ej : [ sighs ] taylor : oh , my god , so what is it gon na be ? ej , what kind of game are you gon na play this time ? you wan na reel me in -- ej : no , no , no . taylor : listen to me ! with a humble apology of some sort , and tell me how you would be with me if only you were free ? ej : taylor , i realize that it must look like i 'm playing games with you , but i -- taylor : no , you know what it looks like ? it only looks like exactly what it is ! and it is over ! ej : please .

[ cell phone ringing ] brady : excuse me . victor : oh , that bitch would never move out on her own . she 's a parasite . if she 's moving out , it 's because maggie 's giving her a push . and i think i know why . [ scene_break ] nicole : i had an interesting conversation with your father . ej : i really do n't feel like talking to you , nicole . nicole : well , that 's too bad . because it seems stefano does n't know that i know what happened to rafe in the basement . it 's interesting that you did n't tell him . ej : i do n't tell my father every detail about my life , nicole . and you should be very grateful that i do n't , because if he knew , he would very happily make me a widower . nicole : well , and you could n't do that , right ? because you know that i have letters ready to send to sami , explaining what happened to her sweet rafe . and one that will go to the cops and one that will go to the f.b.i . , and there 's so many , i 've just lost track . ej : you think you 're very safe , do n't you ? nicole : ej , one day you are gon na realize this is the best thing that 's ever happened to you . we were meant to be together , to have a wonderful , loving family . ej : you 're delusional . we 're never going to have a wonderful and loving family , nicole . why ? because that evaporated the moment that you decided to blackmail me . nicole : the you go , getting all bent out of shape because i did what i had to do to keep this marriage together . ej : we do n't have a marriage ! okay ? any chance of that went out the window . if i had my way ... i 'd take you by the scruff of the neck right now and i 'd throw you out the bloody door . johnny : stop fighting ! nicole : hey , buddy .

[ scene_break ] taylor : you really think that you and i can be together ? and that nicole can be with brady , and still have sydney in her life , and we can all live happily ever after ? ej : yes , i do . so how is theo ? lexie : he 's fine . he 's gon na be fine . ej : lex , what 's wrong ? you seem upset . lexie : that 's because i am set , ej . what the hell is going on with you and taylor ? i mean , did you have to break her heart too ? [ scene_break ] taylor : you know , just with everything going on over there , i felt -- i felt like i was going insane . brady : i get it . the dimera household . i know , i 've been there . anybody who would have to live there 24/7 , the ins and thee outs , i mean ... would drive anybody nuts . taylor : [ grunts ] brady : but , hey , hey ... you 're out , right ? taylor : mm - hmm . brady : and you 're free . [ british accent ] you 're out of the darkness , you 're going back into the light , and everything 's ... f you 've got a friend , too . taylor : you 're a good friend . god , you 're a great friend . i do n't know what i 'd do without you . brady : i try . i have my moments .

[ scene_break ] maggie : like paris ? mmm . you 're in a good mood . victor : well , have you ever had roast chicken the way they do it in paris ? there 's nothing like it . we can talk about our future . maggie : before you start warming up the jet ... i think there 's something we should clear up -- a little , small misunderstanding . victor : what 's that ? maggie : you said i threw out chloe , and i did n't . she decided to stand on her own two feet . she left voluntarily . victor : so you 're saying if she had n't made that decision , she 'd still be staying here with you ? that 's what brady implied . i just assumed that -- maggie : that i had seen the light . the light being your way of doing things . victor : i think you 're about to tell me that i was wrong . maggie : oh , i do n't blame you , you know . i was just hoping that you 'd change for me too . so i guess we both need to accept the fact that that 's never gon na happen . [ scene_break ] brady : okay , i know where this is going . do n't expect me to get on a white horse anytime soon to rescue nicole from ej , okay ? taylor : why not ? brady : why not ? because ... we do n't -- we do n't work . every time we 're together , we bring out the worst in one another . i 've made my peace with it , and i think nicole has too . [ scene_break ] nicole : do not feel sorry for yourself , nicole . remember what they say : do n't get mad ... get even . i am not gon na let you get away with this , taylor . not with brady . not my brady . you want a fight , little girl ? you got one . [ scene_break ] lexie : if you love taylor so much , why did n't you just go ahead and divorce nicole ? ej : [ sighs ] be -- because i just -- i -- i just could n't , all right ? i could n't . lexie : why not ? what are you , some kind of masochist ? ej ... why honey , don � t you want to be happy ? ej : oh , of course i want to be happy , lexie ! lexie : well , i -- you made promises to taylor , all right ? i mean , you told her you wanted to be together . ej : no . i told her ... that i did n't have a choice . and that was the truth . lexie : what do you mean you do n't have a choice ? you are ej dimera ! nicole has something on you , does n't she ? ohh ! is something big , is n't it ? [ scene_break ] victor : so if you ca n't change and i ca n't change ... what does that mean for us ? maggie : you know , there are a lot of things about you that i would n't change for the world . victor : let 's go with that for a while . maggie : i love the way you love your family , you know that ? [ giggles ] you , um ... you 're not gushy or sentimental . and you drive them crazy . [ sighs ] but i think , inside each one of your children and grandchildren , they have that secret knowledge that you 'd ... walk into a burning building for them , and i like that a lot . i also like the fact ... that you endowed a new children 's wing at the hospital . and you did it anonymously . victor : could n't be too anonymous , if you know about it . maggie : i have a lot of spies everywhere . and i like that when we got to know each other better , that you brought some fun in my life . and i needed some fun . victor : yes , you did . maggie : but knowing all those things about you ... it makes it all the more painful ... [ sighs ] the way you would turn hard and cold when you were dealing with someone ... that you decided was your enemy . like that poor , messed - up girl , chloe . heh , see ? there it is . it 's too hard , victor , to be with you . i 'm sorry .

wyatt : mm - hmm . katie : so if brooke had anything to do with thomas ' fall , it was because she was trying to protect her daughter , not because she was trying to hurt thomas . wyatt : whatever . if brooke did hurt thomas , she would have had every right . thomas witnessed hope 's struggle along with the rest of us , and he could have ended hope 's suffering if he -- if he had n't guarded that secret with everything he had . justin : possibly at the cost of my niece 's life . you know , i have so many questions about what happened to emma that night . the police do , too . wyatt : you really think thomas had something to do with that ? justin : based on how he 's been acting , everything he 's done ? hell yes . katie : brooke has been worried about thomas for a while . she 's tried to warn ridge that he 's not stable . if she saw thomas confronting hope , i can only imagine what would go through her mind . it 's an awful situation . brooke : none of us wanted this , despite what 's happened . i just hope he pulls through . liam : yeah , i hope he pulls through , too , so i can kill him . ridge : no update yet . hope : uh ... where 's douglas ? brooke : uh , amelia took him to a play date . hope : so he does n't know what happened to his father ? ridge : he 's still trying to figure out what happened to his mother . so i do n't know what that conversation 's gon na be yet . brooke : i have to believe it 's not gon na be so bad . ridge : it 's not gon na be so bad ? my son took a terrible fall . he may never wake up . it sounds pretty bad to me . brooke : i 've been trying to explain to ridge that thomas did take a fall , that i did n't deliberately push him over the edge . i mean , why would i do that , right ? but the fact is that thomas was out of control , again . he grabbed hope , he was holding her by the arms . he was very intimidating . he was in her face , and i , as a mother , felt like i needed to protect her . so that 's what i did . ridge : i 'm sorry . did you think you were in danger ? did he threaten you ? i 'm phil mickelson . bill : there 's no doubt in my mind , right -- none whatsoever -- that whatever happened at steffy 's that resulted in thomas falling off that cliff , it was an accident . come on , i mean , this is brooke we 're talking about . would she come to her daughter 's defense ? yes . of course she would . would she intentionally push thomas -- even if he deserved it -- or anyone off a cliff that could potentially result in a death ? no way . never . katie : you 're exactly right . there 's just -- there 's no way that my sister is capable of doing something like that . wyatt : but , if she did do that , no one would blame her . that 's all i 'm saying . bill : not at all . wyatt : after thomas , everything that he did -- the lies to hope , the emotional manipulating , using douglas ... all of that is horrible . when he did n't tell hope that beth was still alive ... no . as far as i 'm concerned , there 's no coming back from that . justin : eh , i 'm not feeling a lot of sympathy for thomas , either . wyatt : mnh - mnh . justin : and if this police investigation proves that he had something to do with emma 's death ... oh , he 's gon na wish that that fall had killed him . katie : well , regardless of how we feel about thomas , we all should be wishing him a speedy and complete recovery . bill : why ? wyatt : why is that , exactly ? katie : because anything less than that is trouble for my sister . bill : [ scoffs ] brooke 's already in trouble . if ridge or anyone else thinks that she 's responsible for thomas ' fall . ridge : did it happen how brooke said ? i need to figure out how my son ended up here today . brooke : go ahead , tell him . hope : [ sighs ] okay . as you know , um , liam and i had an arrangement with steffy where we were gon na go and pick up the rest of beth 's clothes , and he had work to do in the cabin , so he stayed , and so i went by myself and started organizing everything , and then , um ... thomas was just there . ridge : he was just there ? he did n't knock on the door , ring the doorbell ? no ? hope : no , he -- he startled me . thomas : an annulment . hope : [ gasps ] thomas : i ca n't let you do that , hope . hope : and he was really upset about the annulment , and , um , he insisted that i listen to him , and i told him there was nothing more to say . get out . thomas : let me explain . hope : i am not interested in another word that comes out of your mouth , thomas ! we are over ! but he would n't accept that , and , so , uh ... i tried to leave . he blocked my way , so i ran out the back door . you know what , i 'm leaving . thomas : no , no , you ca n't go . you have to listen to me . you have to listen . hope : no . thomas , let me go ! get your hands off of me ! [ slaps ] and thomas followed me , and i think he must have been thinking that if i just heard him out , that maybe i -- i could find forgiveness , but ... brooke : there 's no way he could justify knowing that beth was alive and not tell you immediately . liam : yeah , with tricking you into marriage . hope : i just -- i just wanted him to go . brooke : well , exactly . and that 's what i saw . i saw him grab her . he was shaking her . he was very desperate . he was intimidating , and i was worried , so i ran out there and i got in between them , and i -- i pushed him away . not to push him over the edge , but to get them away from each other , and i do n't know what happened after that , ridge . really , it just happened so fast , and i was just trying to protect my daughter . ridge : is that true ? you were in danger ? you were afraid ? thomas : if i had told you about beth , i knew you probably would have gone back to liam . and i did n't want that , okay ? i did n't want to lose you . ridge : my son ca n't speak for himself . did he threaten you ? hope : no . ridge : no , what ? hope : you misread the situation . thomas was n't threatening me . he was begging for forgiveness . he was apologizing , mom . thomas was apologizing . . . .
ridge paces the hallway , finally sits by brooke but she can not console him with words or with offer of coffee or water . she asks about thomas and he says sadly that he 's just lying there . liam listens to hope telling him about thomas but liam is n't going to give an inch and says thomas would not have been there in the first place if he had told the truth about beth being alive . bill , wyatt and justin are talking about thomas and what a piece of trash he is when katie come in . katie joins in and says sometimes it is hard for someone to climb out of that dark hole and she thinks hope made some bad choices but thought she was doing it for the right reasons . wyatt calls liam who has just listened to hope saying she needs to go to the hospital . liam whispers to wyatt that it looks like brooke pushed thomas off the cliff . katie wonders if they need to go to the hospital too . wyatt says it is pretty intense over there so he thinks they should hold off for a while . bill says karma for thomas . justin says thomas has been off the radar and yet now something brought him out of it , maybe the thought of annulment . katie says she knows brooke would not hurt thomas and so does ridge . brooke keeps trying to tell ridge that thomas will pull through . ridge says all he knows is that he is lying in there because of her hands . over and over she tells him that he knows she would never purposely hurt his son . he says he knows what he saw . hope arrives and tells ridge that steffy had not returned when she left . ridge says he will get to her later and tell her what happened as he saw it . ridge finally catches the doctor and asks if any change . dr. armstrong says no ; they just sent thomas to radiology for some tests to see what trauma they might find .

my son took a terrible fall . he may never wake up . it sounds pretty bad to me . brooke : i 've been trying to explain to ridge that thomas did take a fall , that i did n't deliberately push him over the edge . i mean , why would i do that , right ? but the fact is that thomas was out of control , again . he grabbed hope , he was holding her by the arms . he was very intimidating . he was in her face , and i , as a mother , felt like i needed to protect her . so that 's what i did . ridge : i 'm sorry . did you think you were in danger ? did he threaten you ? i 'm phil mickelson . bill : there 's no doubt in my mind , right -- none whatsoever -- that whatever happened at steffy 's that resulted in thomas falling off that cliff , it was an accident . come on , i mean , this is brooke we 're talking about . would she come to her daughter 's defense ? yes . of course she would . would she intentionally push thomas -- even if he deserved it -- or anyone off a cliff that could potentially result in a death ? no way . never . katie : you 're exactly right . there 's just -- there 's no way that my sister is capable of doing something like that . wyatt : but , if she did do that , no one would blame her . that 's all i 'm saying . bill : not at all . wyatt : after thomas , everything that he did -- the lies to hope , the emotional manipulating , using douglas ... all of that is horrible . when he did n't tell hope that beth was still alive ... no . as far as i 'm concerned , there 's no coming back from that . justin : eh , i 'm not feeling a lot of sympathy for thomas , either . wyatt : mnh - mnh . justin : and if this police investigation proves that he had something to do with emma 's death ... oh , he 's gon na wish that that fall had killed him . katie : well , regardless of how we feel about thomas , we all should be wishing him a speedy and complete recovery . bill : why ? wyatt : why is that , exactly ? katie : because anything less than that is trouble for my sister . bill : [ scoffs ] brooke 's already in trouble . if ridge or anyone else thinks that she 's responsible for thomas ' fall . ridge : did it happen how brooke said ? i need to figure out how my son ended up here today . brooke : go ahead , tell him . hope : [ sighs ] okay . as you know , um , liam and i had an arrangement with steffy where we were gon na go and pick up the rest of beth 's clothes , and he had work to do in the cabin , so he stayed , and so i went by myself and started organizing everything , and then , um ... thomas was just there . ridge : he was just there ? he did n't knock on the door , ring the doorbell ? no ? hope : no , he -- he startled me . thomas : an annulment . hope : [ gasps ] thomas : i ca n't let you do that , hope . hope : and he was really upset about the annulment , and , um , he insisted that i listen to him , and i told him there was nothing more to say . get out . thomas : let me explain . hope : i am not interested in another word that comes out of your mouth , thomas ! we are over ! but he would n't accept that , and , so , uh ... i tried to leave . he blocked my way , so i ran out the back door . you know what , i 'm leaving . thomas : no , no , you ca n't go . you have to listen to me . you have to listen . hope : no . thomas , let me go ! get your hands off of me ! [ slaps ] and thomas followed me , and i think he must have been thinking that if i just heard him out , that maybe i -- i could find forgiveness , but ... brooke : there 's no way he could justify knowing that beth was alive and not tell you immediately . liam : yeah , with tricking you into marriage . hope : i just -- i just wanted him to go . brooke : well , exactly . and that 's what i saw . i saw him grab her . he was shaking her . he was very desperate . he was intimidating , and i was worried , so i ran out there and i got in between them , and i -- i pushed him away . not to push him over the edge , but to get them away from each other , and i do n't know what happened after that , ridge . really , it just happened so fast , and i was just trying to protect my daughter . ridge : is that true ? you were in danger ? you were afraid ? thomas : if i had told you about beth , i knew you probably would have gone back to liam . and i did n't want that , okay ? i did n't want to lose you . ridge : my son ca n't speak for himself . did he threaten you ? hope : no . ridge : no , what ? hope : you misread the situation . thomas was n't threatening me . he was begging for forgiveness . he was apologizing , mom . thomas was apologizing . . . .Summarize.[/INST]ridge paces the hallway , finally sits by brooke but she can not console him with words or with offer of coffee or water . she asks about thomas and he says sadly that he 's just lying there . liam listens to hope telling him about thomas but liam is n't going to give an inch and says thomas would not have been there in the first place if he had told the truth about beth being alive . bill , wyatt and justin are talking about thomas and what a piece of trash he is when katie come in . katie joins in and says sometimes it is hard for someone to climb out of that dark hole and she thinks hope made some bad choices but thought she was doing it for the right reasons . wyatt calls liam who has just listened to hope saying she needs to go to the hospital . liam whispers to wyatt that it looks like brooke pushed thomas off the cliff . katie wonders if they need to go to the hospital too . wyatt says it is pretty intense over there so he thinks they should hold off for a while . bill says karma for thomas . justin says thomas has been off the radar and yet now something brought him out of it , maybe the thought of annulment . katie says she knows brooke would not hurt thomas and so does ridge . brooke keeps trying to tell ridge that thomas will pull through . ridge says all he knows is that he is lying in there because of her hands . over and over she tells him that he knows she would never purposely hurt his son . he says he knows what he saw . hope arrives and tells ridge that steffy had not returned when she left . ridge says he will get to her later and tell her what happened as he saw it . ridge finally catches the doctor and asks if any change . dr. armstrong says no ; they just sent thomas to radiology for some tests to see what trauma they might find .</s>

[ scene_break ] natalie : yeah , okay . well , good luck with that . ahem . gigi : two sugars , no cream . i noticed that 's how you like it at home . natalie : thank you . gigi : i mean your home . natalie : thanks . i -- i do like it that way . but i think you should know , it 's not in your job description to make or fetch me coffee . gigi : oh , but see , that 's the one thing i know i 'll get right . natalie : well , i have to say , thank you . the geography research you did was great . rex : ladies . gigi : wait a minute . do n't tell me you work here , too . rex : no , i 'm doing some freelance p.i . work for clint and bo . how 's the new job going ? gigi : fine . better get back to it . hmm . rex : did n't i tell you you 'd love her ? natalie : yes , you did . so what do you got for me ? rex : i looked into the safety violations in the philly plant . like i thought , it was a minor oversight , not a sabotage . natalie : that 's great . rex : no - brainer . it 'd be nice to have a case that was a challenge . natalie : well , i 've got one for you . i want you to find out everything you can on this man . rex : `` charlie balsom `` ? you want me to investigate my own dad ? [ scene_break ] viki : okay , so what exactly did you tell charlie ? [ jessica sighs ] jessica : i 'm sorry . i -- i did n't mean just to blurt out that you and dorian hated each other 's guts . viki : you phrased it like that ? jessica : pretty much . i was just really shocked when he was acting like the two of you were best buds . i do n't understand . why would you have wanted him to think that you guys were friends ? viki : huh . [ scene_break ] dorian : something is wrong . please , what is it ? charlie : why did you lie to me ? dorian : what do you mean ? charlie : you told me that you and viki were friends going way back . dorian : we do go way back . charlie : yeah . but you 've hated each other 's guts since time immemorial , right ? [ scene_break ] natalie : okay , this guy just drops out of the texas sky , hooks up with my mother , comes to llanview out of nowhere , and then just happens to be your father , too ? rex : yep . natalie : you do n't think that that 's an incredible coincidence ? rex : well , it 's just as incredible that marcie and viki and i found gigi in paris , but there she was . [ knock on door ] gigi : did you have any more revisions to that mail - merge file before i send it out ? natalie : oh , i -- sorry , i have n't had a chance to look at it . rex : my fault . but while i 'm using company time , charlie and i were saying we would love to take shane to a sixers game . gigi : that 's really nice of you . shane would be thrilled . i just have to make sure he gets his homework done , and he pays his own way . rex : i have season tickets . gigi : morascos do n't take handouts . rex : fine . you 're invited , too , by the way . gigi : thanks , but i think it should be a guys ' night out . besides , i 'm a pistons fan . natalie : so how 's adriana ? rex : what ? natalie : you know , your fiancée ? [ scene_break ] viki : well , i certainly never told charlie that dorian and i were friends . jessica : but you did n't tell him the whole truth . viki : no , i -- what 's the point ? and why even accord dorian the importance of discussing her ? jessica : well , because dorian is a pretty important part of your life . viki : you know , sweetheart , when i was in paris , texas , when i met charlie , dorian was the furthest thing from my mind . and that was probably the most refreshing thing about being in texas . jessica : well , besides meeting charlie . viki : well , besides meeting charlie , yes . jessica : well , you know what i do n't understand ? why would dorian not want him to know that you two hated each other . [ viki chuckles ] [ scene_break ] dorian : charlie , viki and i parted ways just a few minutes ago . she made it quite clear that the two of you have much better things to do than talk about yours truly . so what happened in the meantime ? did she corral you in the parking lot and give you a whole litany of my past misdeeds -- of course , omitting her own ? charlie : no . viki never said a bad word about you . someone else told me the truth . dorian : someone else told you the truth ? who and what truth ? charlie : you were never viki 's friend . dorian : so why do you care what i think about her ? charlie : i do n't , but i do care that when i found out that you two knew each other , and that you had kept that from me , that you told me that you lied to protect viki , and that was a lie . everything has been a lie . dorian : not everything . charlie : and you want to talk about your wild string of coincidences -- first , i find you run over in asa buchanan 's driveway in texas , and then i find out that you and jared and viki all live here in llanview . dorian : that is wild , is n't it ? charlie : yes , was that all a coincidence ? dorian : what ? charlie : i want to know what you really want from me , dorian . [ scene_break ] viki : please , who knows what dorian is up to at any given time ? jessica : well , i know that you 've had a lot going on , but maybe you should ask her . viki : huh . earlier today , i had a little chat with her . jessica : and what did she say ? viki : oh , she 's `` so happy `` that things are working out so well for charlie and me . jessica : then you do n't believe her ? viki : what , are you kidding ? of course not . [ scene_break ] antonio : maybe this time , we will remember to shut the lids so that they do n't dry out . cristian : and you know , this comes with painting lessons , too . [ cristian chuckles ] cristian : you 're very welcome , niña linda . antonio : okay , go put your smock on . you can try it on . cristian : glad she does n't know what 's going on . antonio : she does n't have to . i 'll just pick up a few more hours , and -- and be a little more careful with my spending . i mean , she wo n't know the difference . that 's the way we were raised , and , hey , look how we turned out , right ? cristian : you know , i talked to blair . she 's going to ask around , see if she can help us sell capricorn . antonio : great . maybe if we come up with a decent price , then i wo n't have to sell the loft . cristian : listen , antonio , i know you 're worried about working for ramsey , but i do n't want you worrying about me . i actually got a job off . but i wanted to run it by you before -- i decided to take it . antonio : hmm . why ? cristian : because i 'd be working for nash brennan . [ scene_break ] nash : hey , sorry i missed your call -- my phone was on vibrate -- but i saw you 'd left me a message . what 's up ? jessica : no , that 's okay . i actually -- i sent somebody over there to meet you about doing artwork for the vineyard . i know how you wanted new labels and marketing . nash : yeah , great , absolutely . jessica : actually , i 'm not sure how you 're going to feel about it when i tell you who it is . you see , it 's -- nash : oh , honey , i 'm -- i 'm going to have to call you back . my meeting just turned up . but i 'll talk to you soon . jessica : okay , well , i love you . nash : you , too . bye . man : sorry i 'm late . thanks for waiting . nash : my pleasure , no problem . as they say , time is money , and i 'm sure you 're going to make it worth my time . man : hmm . [ scene_break ] viki : what was that all about ? jessica : um -- oh . i offered cristian a job at the winery doing artwork , but i did n't tell nash about it , and now , cristian 's on his way over there to meet with him . viki : that 's why cris was here earlier ? jessica : and i know what you 're going to say -- there 's a lifetime of history with me , antonio , and cristian , and maybe i just should n't even go there . viki : well , i mean , is that what you were thinking ? jessica : oh , i do n't know . i just would like to think that maybe we 're at a place where -- huh -- where we all could be friends , you know ? or at least be civil with one another . nash is so happy with the way the winery 's going , and -- and cristian can help him , and we can help cristian . viki : oh , it sounds perfect for everyone . jessica : yeah , you know ? that 's what friends are for . [ scene_break ] dorian : charlie , i really do wish i were as powerful as you seem to be implying . charlie : the way i hear it , you are . dorian : if i were , viki and i would 've been best buddies all these years . charlie : really ? why ? dorian : because we are both rich and powerful women . we 've both lived through some very difficult circumstances , though viki never did get over her childish resentment towards me , because i was once married to her father . understandably , it must have been very difficult for her having such a young stepmother . however , back to texas , where you were so kind to me -- a true lifesaver , a true friend . and when we got back here , and i found out that viki was so special to you , i thought that that would get between us , and i was afraid that you would hate me . charlie : dorian , i 'm kind of an expert at losing friends , okay ? i 've been doing it my whole life , and nobody 's really missed me that much , so you want me to believe that you think enough of my friendship of just a couple of weeks to come up with these cockamamie lies ? dorian : oh . it 's a bit odd getting a lecture about lying from you . is n't it , charlie b ? [ scene_break ] viki : does n't cristian have a job at capricorn ? jessica : oh -- huh . not for long . antonio lost his entire inheritance from the santis , and he has to give it all back , with interest . viki : oh , my dear . jessica : which means that he has to sell capricorn , and -- ugh . viki : that 's why you reached out to cristian . jessica : well , i did n't know about it when i offered cristian the job . i mean , it 's obviously completely not a handout , and i hope antonio does n't see it that way . viki : honey , i think he knows you better than that . jessica : i hope so . you know , it 's weird . i was just thinking about when i thought that antonio was bree 's father , and that -- how bree and jamie would 've grown up to be sisters , and then i realized how much different my life would 've been , you know ? viki : yeah . jessica : i do n't know . antonio is just -- he 's lost a lot over the past few years . viki : okay , you know what i think you should do ? i think you should do what i suggested earlier . i think you leave this little angel with me , and you go and take some time for yourself , okay ? and you come back when she 's 18 , and then you can pay for college , okay ? jessica : great . huh . viki : okay , darling . jessica : okay , well , thank you , and do n't let her feed you too many cookies , okay ? viki : yeah -- who , me ? jessica : oh , i 'm so happy i came by . thank you . viki : oh , my baby , i love you so much . you know , sweetheart , all a parent really wants is that her child is happy and has a good heart . and you are , and you do . and that makes my heart very happy . jessica : thank you . viki : bye . jessica : bye . [ scene_break ] antonio : why did jessica call you instead of nash ? cristian : i do n't know , but i 'm about to meet with him and find out . but listen , you say the word , i 'll call this off . antonio : why would i ? cristian : because i 'd be working for someone you hate . antonio : true . that does n't mean you should n't . cristian : what i 'm trying to say is , it 's not worth it for me to take what 's basically a side job if it 's going to bug the hell out of you . antonio : look , cris , it could lead to other things . and at least it 's art . i mean , look , if you do n't want to work for nash , that 's one thing , but do n't not work for nash because of me . cristian : thanks for understanding . antonio : sure . cristian : look , i should get going , see what this guy has to say for himself . antonio : yeah , okay . buena suerte . cristian : thanks , man . i think i 'm going to need it . can i take these ? [ antonio chuckles ] cristian : adios . [ scene_break ] nash : projected revenue increases over each of the next three years , and if we can get our vino into the upscale restaurants in the philly region , we should be set . man : your enthusiasm is your strongest selling point . nash : well , schlop like this in front of us , who ca n't get enthusiastic about wine , right ? to be honest , this is kind of a -- it 's kind of a dream come true for me . it 's not even about the money , although we are obviously going to make truckloads of money . but it 's -- man : this all sounds very ambitious . i 'm authorized to offer you more capital , if you need it . nash : well , i 'd hate to take advantage . man : look , the money 's there , no strings -- not like you even need to pay it back . i mean , there 's no sense in cutting corners if it hurts the end product . nash : right . man : believe me , we 're all as invested as you are in making this venture highly successful . [ scene_break ] antonio : an s ? jamie : uh - uh . antonio : snake ? okay , it 's -- i 'm stumped . [ knock on door ] antonio : hold that thought . jessica : hi . um -- i 'm sorry , i hope this is n't a bad time . i know i probably should 've called first . i -- jamie : jessica ! jessica : hi , sweetie . [ scene_break ] rex : adriana 's great -- why ? natalie : i do n't know . you just have n't talked much about her trip . rex : we talk almost every day . she 's dying to come home from paris . crazy , no ? natalie : well , not if you have a wonderful fiancé to come home to , no , it 's not crazy at all . so -- ahem -- when was that wedding date again ? rex : we have n't set one . what ? natalie : if this business trip to paris was so darned important , why did n't adriana send layla ? rex : layla could n't leave evangeline . natalie : right . she 's in a coma in another state , but okay . so , it 's -- it 's almost april in paris . you got a big trip planned ? rex : i wish . i do n't have the cash . natalie : adriana 's an heiress . rex : we 're trying to make it on our own . natalie : i see . does adriana happen to know that your high school sweetheart has a job here at b.e . because of you ? rex : no . natalie : even though you talk every day ? rex : it 's a nonissue , nattie . what ? you do n't believe me ? [ phone rings ] adriana : rex ? rex : hey ! long time no speak . adriana : is everything okay ? rex : yeah . i just -- i forgot , i had to tell you something . adriana : actually , i have to tell you something , too . [ scene_break ] charlie : you 're right . dorian : mm - hmm . charlie : i am in no position to judge anyone about lying , but i do live my life by the program . and the program says -- dorian : i know what the program says . charlie : do you ? were you ever really married to an alcoholic ? dorian : absolutely -- a recovering alcoholic , and that 's why it was very important to me that you stay sober . charlie : well , i do n't need your help . dorian : excuse me . [ phone rings ] dorian : in fact , excuse me . hello ? ah . jean - pierre . attends un moment . i am so sorry , but i am going to have to take this call . pardon . je suis avec un ami dans la restaurant , so it would be much more polite if i spoke english . yes , i know . well , say whatever you have to , do whatever you have to , but make sure she stays on in paris a while longer . just make sure you keep my name out of it . merci , jean - pierre . a bientôt . huh . charlie : wait a minute . you -- my god , you are the reason that adriana is stuck in paris . dorian : oh . you know , you would almost think that the p.i . gene ran in rex 's blood , if you did n't know better . but of course , he is not as clever as you are , in figuring things out , which is just one of the many reasons why i think my daughter adriana can do much better than your faux son , rex , okay ? yes , yes , yes , i 'm her mother , and i intend to make sure that she does lots better . charlie : and i trusted you . i trusted you with everything . dorian : well -- charlie : you -- wait , that day that we were stuck up on the mountain , in your car , and it ran out of gas , and i missed my meeting with jared at the diner . did -- did you just arrange that , too ? [ dorian sighs ] dorian : does it matter what i say , since you think every word out of my mouth is a lie ? charlie : you are the only person who knows that jared is my son , and that rex is not . now , what is the reason that you are keeping this secret ? because it 's not friendship . do n't try to tell me it 's friendship because you are not my friend . the lies end here ! dorian : charlie , i 've been trying really hard to keep this civil because i liked , and i still like , you . however , i loathe , detest , and despise viki . yes , i hate her . are you understanding what i 'm saying ? charlie : and what does that have to do with me ? dorian : i think it 's important that you understand that hate is the strongest motive there is . [ scene_break ] [ doorbell rings ] [ marcie chuckles ] marcie : look at all this stuff . we can leave a trail behind us like hansel and gretel . shane : huh . marcie : it 's really neat . viki : hello , marcie . [ scene_break ] cristian : hey . nash : hey . cristian : did n't jessica tell you i was coming ? nash : you 're the artist . cristian : that 's me . nash : no , she did n't tell me you were coming . well , she -- she did n't get a chance . never mind . cristian : well , listen , if you do n't want me to do this , that 's fine . nash : no , no . uh -- no , jessica thinks very highly of your work . honestly , i -- i just did n't think that you 'd be willing to work for me . it never crossed my mind . cristian : well , i 'm here , are n't i ? nash : yes . yes , you are . why ? cristian : well , i 'm sure jessica told you i needed the money . she did n't tell you anything , did she ? nash : no . no , no , no , she did n't . what 's going on ? cristian : uh -- there -- there was this thing with antonio 's inheritance . he could 've contested it , but he decided to do the honorable thing and return the money , so he 's selling capricorn , which probably means i wo n't have a job . nash : huh , let me get this straight . antonio sold his half of my vineyard to lovely jared , and now he 's got nothing to show for it ? cristian : i did n't come here so you can gloat . you know what ? you 're right . i do n't think i want to work for you , after all . [ scene_break ] jessica : i have missed you so much . and that is the most wonderful dinosaur i have ever seen . jamie : i 'm going to go make another one . jessica : okay . antonio : i thought it was a snake . jessica : oh . well , it 's the first thing that came to my head . i used to read her that brontosaurus book when she was about bree 's age till someone told me that brontosaurus never existed , so -- antonio : it 's still a good book . how 's bree ? jessica : she 's great . she 's getting really big . antonio : yeah . cris told me that you called him about doing some work for nash . i guess the vineyard 's doing all right . jessica : yeah , i did . antonio , i just -- i just wanted to come by and say that i 'm sorry about your inheritance , and i am even more sorry because i was the one that pushed you into taking it . antonio : nobody pushes me into anything . jessica : i know , but , you know , i just kept on telling you over and over again , `` do it for jamie , do it for jamie , `` and i -- i do n't know -- antonio : we 're going to be all right . jessica : i know you are , but sometimes -- i do n't know -- i feel like it 's easier if you 've never had something at all than to have it for a little while and then have it taken away . antonio : it depends what you 're talking about . i mean , you know what they say about love . sometimes , it 's better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all . [ scene_break ] shane : check out my science project . viki : yeah . shane : want some ? viki : no , i do n't think i 'll eat your science project , no . but i bet lois would . she 's upstairs . why do n't you show it to her ? shane : okay . oh , and thanks for the ride , marcie . marcie : anytime . i -- i was just supposed to drop shane off at the door , but you know , he had so much stuff that he -- he could n't carry it by himself , so i 'm -- i 'm sure that i 'm not welcome in your home , so i 'm just going to go , okay ? viki : marcie -- marcie , wait , please . how are you ? marcie : i 'm sorry . i 'm so very sorry . [ scene_break ] rex : well , i just -- i forgot to tell you that -- that gigi is staying in llanview and i helped get her a job at b.e . adriana : that 's it ? rex : yeah -- well , nattie thought that you would want to know , and i told her you would n't care . so , what 's going on ? adriana : i 'm coming home . rex : yes ! she 's coming home ! adriana : huh . [ scene_break ] dorian : your darling viki has pulled every low and mean trick known to humankind to ruin my life . so what if i 'm merely returning the favor ? charlie : and how does letting the buchanans think that jared is one of them get back at viki ? dorian : viki and clint were married to each other for many , many years . charlie : yeah . and they have a lot of very nice things to say about each other . dorian : right . i had the misfortune to be involved for a time with the holier- than - thou clint buchanan . he cheated on me , and then had the gall to blame me for it . of course , i should 've known better than to get involved with one of viki 's tired hand - me - downs . she probably tried to poison his mind against me right from the beginning . charlie : well , so you think that clint used you ? and to make up for that , you 're using me to get back at him and viki ? dorian : if that 's how you choose to look at it . charlie : so when you invited me to stay at your house , and i slept there and i ate your food , this was the price that you expected me to pay -- to be beholden to you forever ? dorian : no . it 'll be a much higher price than that .

[ jessica sighs ] jessica : i 'm sorry . i -- i did n't mean just to blurt out that you and dorian hated each other 's guts . viki : you phrased it like that ? jessica : pretty much . i was just really shocked when he was acting like the two of you were best buds . i do n't understand . why would you have wanted him to think that you guys were friends ? viki : huh . [ scene_break ] dorian : something is wrong . please , what is it ? charlie : why did you lie to me ? dorian : what do you mean ? charlie : you told me that you and viki were friends going way back . dorian : we do go way back . charlie : yeah . but you 've hated each other 's guts since time immemorial , right ? [ scene_break ] natalie : okay , this guy just drops out of the texas sky , hooks up with my mother , comes to llanview out of nowhere , and then just happens to be your father , too ? rex : yep . natalie : you do n't think that that 's an incredible coincidence ? rex : well , it 's just as incredible that marcie and viki and i found gigi in paris , but there she was . [ knock on door ] gigi : did you have any more revisions to that mail - merge file before i send it out ? natalie : oh , i -- sorry , i have n't had a chance to look at it . rex : my fault . but while i 'm using company time , charlie and i were saying we would love to take shane to a sixers game . gigi : that 's really nice of you . shane would be thrilled . i just have to make sure he gets his homework done , and he pays his own way . rex : i have season tickets . gigi : morascos do n't take handouts . rex : fine . you 're invited , too , by the way . gigi : thanks , but i think it should be a guys ' night out . besides , i 'm a pistons fan . natalie : so how 's adriana ? rex : what ? natalie : you know , your fiancée ? [ scene_break ] viki : well , i certainly never told charlie that dorian and i were friends . jessica : but you did n't tell him the whole truth . viki : no , i -- what 's the point ? and why even accord dorian the importance of discussing her ? jessica : well , because dorian is a pretty important part of your life . viki : you know , sweetheart , when i was in paris , texas , when i met charlie , dorian was the furthest thing from my mind . and that was probably the most refreshing thing about being in texas . jessica : well , besides meeting charlie . viki : well , besides meeting charlie , yes . jessica : well , you know what i do n't understand ? why would dorian not want him to know that you two hated each other . [ viki chuckles ] [ scene_break ] dorian : charlie , viki and i parted ways just a few minutes ago . she made it quite clear that the two of you have much better things to do than talk about yours truly . so what happened in the meantime ? did she corral you in the parking lot and give you a whole litany of my past misdeeds -- of course , omitting her own ? charlie : no . viki never said a bad word about you . someone else told me the truth . dorian : someone else told you the truth ? who and what truth ? charlie : you were never viki 's friend . dorian : so why do you care what i think about her ? charlie : i do n't , but i do care that when i found out that you two knew each other , and that you had kept that from me , that you told me that you lied to protect viki , and that was a lie . everything has been a lie . dorian : not everything . charlie : and you want to talk about your wild string of coincidences -- first , i find you run over in asa buchanan 's driveway in texas , and then i find out that you and jared and viki all live here in llanview . dorian : that is wild , is n't it ? charlie : yes , was that all a coincidence ? dorian : what ? charlie : i want to know what you really want from me , dorian . [ scene_break ] viki : please , who knows what dorian is up to at any given time ? jessica : well , i know that you 've had a lot going on , but maybe you should ask her . viki : huh . earlier today , i had a little chat with her . jessica : and what did she say ? viki : oh , she 's `` so happy `` that things are working out so well for charlie and me . jessica : then you do n't believe her ? viki : what , are you kidding ? of course not .

[ scene_break ] nash : hey , sorry i missed your call -- my phone was on vibrate -- but i saw you 'd left me a message . what 's up ? jessica : no , that 's okay . i actually -- i sent somebody over there to meet you about doing artwork for the vineyard . i know how you wanted new labels and marketing . nash : yeah , great , absolutely . jessica : actually , i 'm not sure how you 're going to feel about it when i tell you who it is . you see , it 's -- nash : oh , honey , i 'm -- i 'm going to have to call you back . my meeting just turned up . but i 'll talk to you soon . jessica : okay , well , i love you . nash : you , too . bye . man : sorry i 'm late . thanks for waiting . nash : my pleasure , no problem . as they say , time is money , and i 'm sure you 're going to make it worth my time . man : hmm . [ scene_break ] viki : what was that all about ? jessica : um -- oh . i offered cristian a job at the winery doing artwork , but i did n't tell nash about it , and now , cristian 's on his way over there to meet with him . viki : that 's why cris was here earlier ? jessica : and i know what you 're going to say -- there 's a lifetime of history with me , antonio , and cristian , and maybe i just should n't even go there . viki : well , i mean , is that what you were thinking ? jessica : oh , i do n't know . i just would like to think that maybe we 're at a place where -- huh -- where we all could be friends , you know ? or at least be civil with one another . nash is so happy with the way the winery 's going , and -- and cristian can help him , and we can help cristian . viki : oh , it sounds perfect for everyone . jessica : yeah , you know ? that 's what friends are for . [ scene_break ] dorian : charlie , i really do wish i were as powerful as you seem to be implying . charlie : the way i hear it , you are . dorian : if i were , viki and i would 've been best buddies all these years . charlie : really ? why ? dorian : because we are both rich and powerful women . we 've both lived through some very difficult circumstances , though viki never did get over her childish resentment towards me , because i was once married to her father . understandably , it must have been very difficult for her having such a young stepmother . however , back to texas , where you were so kind to me -- a true lifesaver , a true friend . and when we got back here , and i found out that viki was so special to you , i thought that that would get between us , and i was afraid that you would hate me . charlie : dorian , i 'm kind of an expert at losing friends , okay ? i 've been doing it my whole life , and nobody 's really missed me that much , so you want me to believe that you think enough of my friendship of just a couple of weeks to come up with these cockamamie lies ? dorian : oh . it 's a bit odd getting a lecture about lying from you . is n't it , charlie b ? [ scene_break ] viki : does n't cristian have a job at capricorn ? jessica : oh -- huh . not for long . antonio lost his entire inheritance from the santis , and he has to give it all back , with interest . viki : oh , my dear . jessica : which means that he has to sell capricorn , and -- ugh . viki : that 's why you reached out to cristian . jessica : well , i did n't know about it when i offered cristian the job . i mean , it 's obviously completely not a handout , and i hope antonio does n't see it that way . viki : honey , i think he knows you better than that . jessica : i hope so . you know , it 's weird . i was just thinking about when i thought that antonio was bree 's father , and that -- how bree and jamie would 've grown up to be sisters , and then i realized how much different my life would 've been , you know ? viki : yeah . jessica : i do n't know . antonio is just -- he 's lost a lot over the past few years . viki : okay , you know what i think you should do ? i think you should do what i suggested earlier . i think you leave this little angel with me , and you go and take some time for yourself , okay ? and you come back when she 's 18 , and then you can pay for college , okay ? jessica : great . huh . viki : okay , darling . jessica : okay , well , thank you , and do n't let her feed you too many cookies , okay ? viki : yeah -- who , me ? jessica : oh , i 'm so happy i came by . thank you . viki : oh , my baby , i love you so much . you know , sweetheart , all a parent really wants is that her child is happy and has a good heart . and you are , and you do . and that makes my heart very happy . jessica : thank you . viki : bye . jessica : bye . [ scene_break ] antonio : why did jessica call you instead of nash ? cristian : i do n't know , but i 'm about to meet with him and find out . but listen , you say the word , i 'll call this off . antonio : why would i ? cristian : because i 'd be working for someone you hate . antonio : true . that does n't mean you should n't . cristian : what i 'm trying to say is , it 's not worth it for me to take what 's basically a side job if it 's going to bug the hell out of you . antonio : look , cris , it could lead to other things . and at least it 's art . i mean , look , if you do n't want to work for nash , that 's one thing , but do n't not work for nash because of me . cristian : thanks for understanding . antonio : sure . cristian : look , i should get going , see what this guy has to say for himself . antonio : yeah , okay . buena suerte . cristian : thanks , man . i think i 'm going to need it . can i take these ? [ antonio chuckles ] cristian : adios . [ scene_break ] nash : projected revenue increases over each of the next three years , and if we can get our vino into the upscale restaurants in the philly region , we should be set . man : your enthusiasm is your strongest selling point . nash : well , schlop like this in front of us , who ca n't get enthusiastic about wine , right ? to be honest , this is kind of a -- it 's kind of a dream come true for me . it 's not even about the money , although we are obviously going to make truckloads of money . but it 's -- man : this all sounds very ambitious . i 'm authorized to offer you more capital , if you need it . nash : well , i 'd hate to take advantage . man : look , the money 's there , no strings -- not like you even need to pay it back . i mean , there 's no sense in cutting corners if it hurts the end product . nash : right . man : believe me , we 're all as invested as you are in making this venture highly successful . [ scene_break ] antonio : an s ? jamie : uh - uh . antonio : snake ? okay , it 's -- i 'm stumped .

[ phone rings ] dorian : in fact , excuse me . hello ? ah . jean - pierre . attends un moment . i am so sorry , but i am going to have to take this call . pardon . je suis avec un ami dans la restaurant , so it would be much more polite if i spoke english . yes , i know . well , say whatever you have to , do whatever you have to , but make sure she stays on in paris a while longer . just make sure you keep my name out of it . merci , jean - pierre . a bientôt . huh . charlie : wait a minute . you -- my god , you are the reason that adriana is stuck in paris . dorian : oh . you know , you would almost think that the p.i . gene ran in rex 's blood , if you did n't know better . but of course , he is not as clever as you are , in figuring things out , which is just one of the many reasons why i think my daughter adriana can do much better than your faux son , rex , okay ? yes , yes , yes , i 'm her mother , and i intend to make sure that she does lots better . charlie : and i trusted you . i trusted you with everything . dorian : well -- charlie : you -- wait , that day that we were stuck up on the mountain , in your car , and it ran out of gas , and i missed my meeting with jared at the diner . did -- did you just arrange that , too ? [ dorian sighs ] dorian : does it matter what i say , since you think every word out of my mouth is a lie ? charlie : you are the only person who knows that jared is my son , and that rex is not . now , what is the reason that you are keeping this secret ? because it 's not friendship . do n't try to tell me it 's friendship because you are not my friend . the lies end here ! dorian : charlie , i 've been trying really hard to keep this civil because i liked , and i still like , you . however , i loathe , detest , and despise viki . yes , i hate her . are you understanding what i 'm saying ? charlie : and what does that have to do with me ? dorian : i think it 's important that you understand that hate is the strongest motive there is .

at the newman home , sharon voices her concern over noah . when courtney shows up at noah 's with a new suit for his meeting with victor , noah models it for her . sharon lets nick know that noah is going to work for victor but nick does n't voice any objections which surprises sharon . jack visits phyllis in the hospital and lets her know about things at home and about summer going to los angeles . after she squeezes his hand , he gets a doctor to examine her . in the hotel , lauren watches fen sleep until he begins to wake up . upon awakening , fen immediately wants to know where michael is . lauren is slow about telling him . kevin lets michael know that lauren is with fen . paul returns nikki 's phone call but just misses her . paul is interrupted by an officer and michael . paul asks michael why he lied to him about what happened . paul asks him about the bullet that he found in the wall of the alley . kevin denies to alex that michael killed carmine . kevin and chloe discuss what happened the night before . michael tells his story again about how he killed carmine . lauren lets fen know that carmine is dead and michael is taking the blame for it . fen goes berserk and thinks that lauren and michael feel that he is guilty of killing carmine . fen admits that he does n't remember anything from the previous evening . fen tells lauren that he can not let michael take the rap for this , but she stops him . paul asks michael whom he is covering for ; he thinks that it is lauren . paul tells michael that they could better defend lauren instead of him . abby and tyler meet at the athletic club , but he brushes her off when she wants to make plans for later . abby sees through him and knows he is brushing her off because she told him she loves him . tyler says he feels the same way about her .

[ scene_break ] michael : paul , i did not lie about the second shot . paul : you did n't mention it . michael : i did n't mention it for the same reasons i did n't mention the color of carmine 's shoes . it was inconsequential . paul : so why did you fire the gun twice ? michael : because the first shot missed . paul : that 's your story ? michael : what does it matter how many times i pulled that trigger ? i would have emptied the whole gun if that 's what it took to kill carmine . paul : okay , michael . let 's go over it again . michael : what is this going to accomplish , paul ? paul : we start from the beginning . michael : what , are you gon na trip me up on discrepancies ? you 're forgetting . i 'm pleading guilty . paul : i know you 're claiming you killed the guy . michael : i killed the man ! and , to be honest , i do n't regret it . paul : even though you could go to prison for the rest of your life ? michael : i know how the system works . i know what i did . i know why i did it . i deserve what i get . paul : [ sighs ] if the second shot is so inconsequential ... why move the dumpster ? what you do n't deserve , michael , is to be punished for a crime you did n't commit . so why do n't we talk about who really did pull that trigger .

[ scene_break ] alex : something is off about baldwin 's confession . paul : what do you got ? alex : a bullet hole in the wall in the crime scene . and we know it 's not the slug inside carmine basco . all right , which does n't jive with baldwin 's statement . there was a second shot . but the bullet and the shell casing are both missing . so , how do you want me to pursue this ? paul : [ sighs ] that is excellent police work , alex . but the reason you did n't find the second bullet is because i 'd already discovered it . alex : um , baldwin said -- paul : baldwin shot twice . he just neglected to mention it in his initial statement . so , really , there is , uh ... nothing more to investigate . alex : chief . paul : this is the basco file . mark it closed .

[ thunder ] emily : i hate faith rosco . oh . nikolas : what brought that on ? emily : if -- if faith had n't picked my family 's home as a hideout , you and i would be safe in my room , in my bed . we could 've woken up tomorrow in each other 's arms , the past behind us . nikolas : well , i 'm not particularly optimistic -- most cassadines are n't -- but let me -- let me tell you this . emily : hmm ? nikolas : i know you again . all your little -- your little quirks and your little -- your little idiosyncrasies , all the memories that we made together -- everything that i thought was lost . i know myself , who i am , you know , what i believe in . emily : yeah . nikolas : and i know how ridiculously in love with you i am . [ thunder ] nikolas : so , compared to being locked in a cell in shadybrook drugged out of my mind , wandering through a life i do n't remember , hating everyone who tried to help me , this is paradise . emily : well , i spent months thinking that you were dead , and thinking that i 'd spend the rest of my life missing you , and being brave and resilient and empty -- nikolas : yeah . emily : inside , so yeah , it 's true , i have -- [ thunder ] emily : have nothing to complain about . nikolas : no . i mean , come on , we 're right here in the middle of a lightning storm on the run from a mental hospital and my grandmother , the she - dragon , and me about to turn myself into your family who hates me . emily : mm - hmm .

[ trent sighs ] trent : he enjoyed those girls fighting over him , ok ? it made him feel important ! dillon : that 's not true ! lucas : well , if he 's responsible , then so are you , trent . trent : i did nothing . lucas : yeah , exactly . you could 've been a friend to sage . you could 've talked her down . but no , you helped her -- brook lynn : guys ! lucas : play your stupid -- brook lynn : look , guys , come on , all right ? look , georgie is innocent , she 's not the killer , but the real one is out there somewhere , trent ! he 's out there , and this board -- guys , this board can let us know who it really is ! it wo n't work unless you all concentrate . trent : lila 's spirit is not roaming around this house , ok ? it 's a bunch of bogus -- brook lynn : `` e. `` dillon : `` m. `` lucas : `` em , em -- `` `` emily `` ? dillon : that ca n't be right .

[ scene_break ] alexis : i have no idea where i was on december 21st , because it was over a month ago . i ca n't remember that . dante : would you want to check your planner ? maybe it 'll help you jog your memory . alexis : no , i do n't , and i 'm not going to . dante : why are n't you gon na do that ? alexis : i may not be practicing law now , but i still know how . and if you were questioning a client of mine under these circumstances , i would advise that client not to answer any questions without counsel present . dante : but there is counsel present . you 're -- you 're standing right here . alexis : [ sighs ] even if i were n't suspended , i 'm not stupid enough to represent myself . now ... diane will be here soon , if you 'd like to stay and talk to her , but we both know how that would go . dante : why are you doing this , alexis ? i 'm not accusing you of anything . alexis : yet . you 're not accusing me of anything yet . dante : so what you 're saying is you 're not gon na answer any questions about tom baker . alexis : that 's exactly what i 'm saying . [ scene_break ] sam : when i find franco , i 'll call you , okay ? kiki : sam , you can not go alone . sam : look , there are things that are going on here that you do n't know about , and i have to talk to franco alone . kiki : okay . no . first of all , you hate franco . sam : i - i do n't hate him enough to leave him for dead or to kill him . come on . not anymore . no , i do n't . kiki : sam , no , you are pregnant , okay ? you should n't be going anywhere alone , let alone someplace dangerous . sam : okay , then i 'm -- i 'm gon na call jason and i 'll have him meet me there . kiki : okay , and what if he ca n't ? sam : i -- kiki , come on . you are my cousin . you know what kind of person i am . i promise you i 'm not gon na let anything happen to franco . kiki : okay , yeah , and what if the guy that attacked franco comes back ? sam : give me 15 , 20 minutes , tops . if i do n't get back to you , call the cops , okay ? kiki : okay , 15 minutes ... sam : [ groans ] kiki : ... and i 'm going straight to the police . sam : great . thank you . kiki : [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] franco : dear ... elizabeth ... i do n't know if i 'm gon na get out of here . i tried . i tried to be better . for you ... for your boys . and i do n't know if we 're gon na be together ... for us to enjoy that progress . [ sighs ] here we are , trying to coax the jungle of our hearts out into the open . elizabeth : are you talking about being vulnerable ? franco : yeah , i - i 'm talking about being vulnerable together . that 's what an art collaboration is , right ? if one of us falls down , the other 's there to catch them . i love you . [ grunts ] sleep . sleep . [ scene_break ] seth : you seem like a nice young woman . confused ... but nice . and , believe me , i 'm very sorry for what my brother did to you . there 's no excuse . elizabeth : thank you . i appreciate that . seth : and i do n't mean any disrespect , but that does n't give your boyfriend the right to murder tom after he paid for his crime . elizabeth : i do n't think franco killed him . seth : i ca n't talk about this with you . elizabeth : but if we work together , i - i think we can figure this out . seth : i know you have feelings for the guy , and i do n't know why . but even you have to admit franco is capable of anything . locked my brother up in a cage for a dog . anybody who could do that ... franco is as guilty as sin ! [ scene_break ] hayden : nurse driscoll . please . amy . it is highly inappropriate for you to be engaging in idle speculation . dr. finn and i are friends who shared a very difficult ordeal . amy : that brought you closer together . but now that the crisis has passed , what will happen to the love ? hayden : there is no love . we 're just professional co - workers . that 's all . amy : you know , for someone with a reputation for being a con woman , you 're not a very good liar . [ chuckles ] hayden : i got to go . i need to look up the policy about gossiping . amy : i already did . it 's outdated and unenforceable . hayden : well , it 's time to update it . [ scoffs ] amy : okay . you clearly do n't want to share your happiness with anyone , certainly not with me . hayden : thank you for understanding . amy : i 'm sorry . i got carried away . hayden : do n't let it happen again . amy : it 's just that there 's so little romance in my own life . hayden : [ sighs ] geez . amy : i mean , how could there be ? i 'm stuck here every day , day in , day out , just giving . all i ever do is give . so when i see someone take a little morsel of happiness for themselves , i ca n't help but be their biggest cheerleader . [ chuckles ] hayden : yeah ? well , good luck with that . amy : and if you do n't want to share that with me , i 'm sure you can tell tracy quartermaine . i know you 've bonded with her probably as much as anyone can . hayden : she 's right behind you . amy : [ gasps ] that was not nice . hayden : yeah , well , life 's a bitch and so am i . see ya . amy : i know what you 're doing , and it wo n't work ! i will still be your friend ! hayden : we 're not friends . amy : that person you can share things with . [ chuckles ] hayden : you really want to be my friend ? amy : i really do . so , friend ... how serious is it with you and dr. finn , being that you nearly died together , but somehow romantically pulled through ? [ chuckles ] could it maybe , possibly be love ? [ scene_break ] griffin : well , it 's a pretty strong dosage . i would n't want to overprescribe . finn : no , i -- i understand . and if it was n't for bradshaw being gone for another week , i wo -- [ sighs ] you know what ? forget about it . i 'm -- i 'm -- i 'm just gon na gut it out , okay ? griffin : hey , i , uh -- i had n't realized dr. bradshaw was gon na be gone for so long . how about ... [ pen clicks ] griffin : ... i double it ? [ scene_break ] alexis : so , if that 's all ... dante : look , uh , maybe if you knew why i was asking you these questions ... alexis : i would be more inclined to answer them ? alexis : dante ? i know you 're not intentionally trying to insult me , but you are . i have said to you that i 'm not going to answer any questions without benefit of counsel . now , for the sake of our friendship and our mutual family , we 're done . dante : are you sure you want to do this ? you could just be making things a lot more difficult for yourself . alexis : we 're done . dante : okay , well , you know where to find me if you change your mind . alexis : i wo n't . dante : okay . alexis : oh , god . no , no , no . no ! no . [ scene_break ] [ keys jingling ] seth : you followed me ? elizabeth : we need to talk . seth : what 's the point ? you do n't think franco killed my brother . i know for a fact he did . we got nothing to say to each other . elizabeth : please ... just for a -- a moment ? seth : it 's not gon na do any good . elizabeth : thank you . seth : look , all you 're doing is defending a low - life who 's run off to god- knows - where , leaving you to clean up his mess . elizabeth : if i thought for one second franco did this , i would not be defending him . i just -- right now , i need to find the truth . seth : okay . so shoot . elizabeth : okay . all right , so , first of all , in all of this mess , there 's something that really confuses me . seth : i 'm sure there is . franco 's been probably lying to you every step of the way . elizabeth : no , no , it 's -- it 's not about something franco said . it 's about something you said . [ scene_break ] sam : oh , okay . this is dillon 's , which means franco 's got to be around here somewhere . no . more storage lockers as far as the eye can see . franco ? franco ? franco ? franco : [ weakly ] in here . [ scene_break ] hayden : there 's a little ... something going on between finn and me . amy : [ chuckles ] i knew it . i can tell when i saw you together this morning there was like this current of attraction . [ chuckles ] this is so exciting . hayden : okay , this is something you have to keep on the down low , okay ? at least for now . amy : of course . hayden : okay , now that we 're both back at work , we both want to do a good job and we 're keeping things completely professional here at the hospital . amy : say no more . i will be the soul of discretion . [ scene_break ] griffin : hope it helps . finn : i 'm sure it will . thank you . [ cell phone beeping ] griffin : all right , i 'm sorry . i got to run . they have a consult down in the er . feel better , man . finn : thank you . brad : i 'm onto you . finn : excuse me . brad : you are playing a dangerous game with your health and your career ... and we both know it . [ scene_break ] dante : elizabeth gone ? nathan : yeah , she went after seth baker . dante : tom baker 's brother ? nathan : yeah , i had to tell him about franco 's disappearance . [ scoffs ] he was not pleased . not that i blame him . hey . what 's -- what 's going on ? dante : look , we , uh , got to get a search warrant for alexis davis ' house . nathan : what , you think there 's actually something to what elizabeth told us ? dante : well , she was pretty jumpy . did n't want to answer any questions without a lawyer present , and she respectfully declined to come down to the station . nathan : well , you could have brought her in anyways . dante : yeah , alexis would have had a field day with that , not to mention diane , her attorney . nathan : what , you think we actually have enough for a search warrant ? dante : i do n't know , but we got to try . i - i know somehow alexis was involved . [ scene_break ] alexis : [ exhales sharply ] [ knock on door ] alexis : who is it ? diane : it 's your lawyer . alexis : [ sighs ] you 're -- you 're back early . diane : and you look perfect . of course , i had no doubt you 'd pull it all together . no one does `` lawyer `` like you . alexis : why are you back early ? diane : because i have news about the hearing . you ready ? alexis : the asteroid is careening toward the planet that 's going to spare me the humiliation of this event ? diane : [ laughs ] no . better . i was just told that ... are you all right ? alexis : no . something just happened , and i - i do n't know that i handled it correctly . diane : does it have to do with the hearing ? alexis : no . diane : all right , well , then whatever that is , it can wait , because this is what i was just informed about the hearing . alexis : i - i do n't need to hear it . because i do n't think i can go through with the hearing . diane : and yet you will . alexis : diane . diane : all right . listen to me . i know your confidence is shaken . but trust me when i say , as your brilliant attorney and your loyal friend , that you are being ridiculous ! alexis : listen to me . i do n't think that i can go through with this hearing . [ scene_break ] seth : something i said ? what do you mean ? elizabeth : back at the police station , you mentioned that franco locked tom in a cage . seth : he did . elizabeth : i know . i know because franco told me . seth : and you 're okay with that ? elizabeth : no . no , of course not . seth : then what ? elizabeth : well , that information was confidential . and i 'm under the impression the police have n't released that to the public , so ... how do you know ? [ scene_break ] kiki : [ sighs ] all right , sam , time 's up . you 're not answering , so ... i 'm calling . oh , come on . it 's dead ? really ? [ scoffs ] damn it ! [ scene_break ] sam : franco ? franco : yeah . sam : franco ! franco : yeah , i 'm still here . sam : hey . all right , hang on tight . i 'm gon na get you out of here . just give me a second . oh , come on . come on , jason , pick up . i need you to bring me my kit . come on . ah , voicemail .

[ chuckles ] griffin : looks like you just made amy 's day . you must have had some pretty sweet gossip . hayden : i 'm an administrator in this hospital . it would be really inappropriate to be engaging in gossip with the staff . griffin : [ chuckles ] you 're clearly new to hospitals . hayden : okay , look , i can neither confirm nor deny -- griffin : yeah , yeah , yeah . okay . um , so your , uh -- your buddy finn played hockey ? hayden : yeah , that 's right . how in the world did that come up ? griffin : uh , you know , guys , sports . hayden : yawn . griffin : mm . hayden : [ chuckles ] griffin : well , i 'm glad you and finn are feeling better . it 's nice to have you both back . [ scene_break ] finn : you 're talking in circles , brad . it 's giving me a migraine . brad : i saw you con dr. munro into writing you a script . finn : what i talk to dr. munro about is none of your business . brad : in fact , he wrote you one ... two . apparently , the first one was n't good enough . what , a dosage too low ? finn : okay . we 're done here . brad : look . we both know you were taking zen - zen for blackwood 's . that stuff is incredibly addictive . now , i 'm assuming your intention is to kick it , but that could be a lot harder than you realize . finn : my health concerns are none of your business . and on top of that , you 're wrong . brad : i hope so . but i 've seen this kind of behavior before . okay , we all have . which is why i think it 's my duty to give the hospital board -- ms. barnes and everyone -- full disclosure regarding my suspicions . finn : what do you want ? brad : [ scoffs ] i think we 're finally getting somewhere . [ scene_break ] seth : i did n't know if that information was confidential or not . and i do n't really care . you see , the police did n't tell me about the dog cage . tom did . elizabeth : he did ? but ... was n't he killed -- did you see him ? seth : no ... but i talked to him ... right after . right after he escaped that psycho boyfriend of yours . tom was freaking out . told me how franco had him locked up in a cage . and somehow he managed to escape with his life . that was the last time i heard my brother 's voice . elizabeth : did he say how he escaped ? seth : no , i asked , but he was just ... panicking ... terrified that franco was still coming after him . turns out he was right . elizabeth : huh . seth : what `` huh `` ? did he say anything about getting the upper hand ? or about putting franco in the cage ? seth : he was lucky to string three words together . why ? is -- is that what franco told you ? how convenient that he has an alibi . is that what you were gon na tell me ? that franco could n't have done it , because tom put him in a cage ? elizabeth : yes , that was part of it . seth : you still think he 's innocent , do n't you ? you know what ? i do n't want to hear it . i - i - i think you should go . elizabeth : okay , i 'll -- yeah , i will go . i will go . just one more thing . seth : what ? elizabeth : did he ever mention a place called gene 's branford roadhouse ? or the names of people he might be meeting there ? seth : why are you asking me this ? elizabeth : because i think someone else is responsible for your brother 's murder . [ scene_break ] diane : do you want to explain to me what 's happening here ? why you can not attend this -- this meeting that is perhaps the most important of your professional career , maybe even your life ? alexis : because i ca n't . it 's not gon na do any good . diane : oh , okay . all right . i see what 's happening here . alexis : no , i do n't think you do . diane : no , i do . you 've explained it to me all before -- the guilt , the doubts , the fear that your career as a lawyer is over , that the mistakes you 've made are too big and too widely known for you to ever be a lawyer again , that no one will ever trust you with their assets , their secrets , their lives , that your career is so far down the rabbit hole that even i ca n't pull it out . let me tell you something . you just need to relax . no , well , try at least . what 's the saying -- fake it till you make it ? because i 've got -- your abject neuroticism has sidetracked my incredible news . alexis : [ sighs ] what is it ? diane : malcolm o'hare . alexis : [ scoffs ] diane : right ? he who was to have chaired your ethics hearing ? malcolm o'hare , who is always so annoyingly draconian about things like the rules , has come down with the flu . and while we take no pleasure in his distress -- alexis : do n't we ? diane : we take a little pleasure in his distress , but we take great pleasure in the fact that he has been replaced by -- wait for it -- miriam johansson . alexis : seriously ? diane : yes ! yes ! oh ! she who has always been known to examine closely the extenuating circumstances , which , as we both know , would be the title of your memoirs . and she 's a huge fan of yours . alexis : i think you 're laying it on a little thick . diane : i 'm not . i had my assistant chat up her secretary , and entre nous , she thinks what 's being done to you is a travesty . alexis : she does n't think i 'm a travesty ? diane : she does not . so , honey , the planets and the stars have aligned in your favor regarding this hearing . but if you want to reschedule , you wo n't get another hearing for months . by that time , unfortunately , malcolm will have gotten over the flu , and you not showing up today will reflect very poorly on you . alexis : more than covering up for a murder or two ? diane : alexis ... honey ... you 're a wonderful attorney . you 're a good and moral person . and that 's what the law needs -- the best . in fact , the law needs only the best . alexis : i see your point . diane : good . now , aside from the case of the jitters , is there any reason why you ca n't make that hearing today ? [ scene_break ] sam : hang on ! i 'm almost ... there . ah ! franco ? hey . franco . franco : [ grunting ] sam : oh , god . franco ? [ scene_break ] brad : you are addicted to a designer drug you no longer need for medicinal purposes . i 'm not judging . finn : no , you 're just extorting me . brad : uh , no , no , no , no . i just want credit and compensation for my part in helping to bring a - a - a - a life - saving medicine into the world . is that so wrong ? finn : i never should have asked for your help . [ sighs ] brad : well , you did . look , for all i know , this plan of yours to wean yourself off of zen - zen is gon na work . finn : and yet here you are threatening to rat me out . brad : i 'm asking you to do what 's right . when the patent for that drug 's approved and money starts pouring in , i just want my share . finn : and if i do n't agree ? brad : reporting a doctor who 's scamming drugs -- that 's , uh ... that 's actually policy . and telling your girlfriend so she knows the kind of man she 's with -- that 's just being honest . you think it over . [ scene_break ] griffin : okay , amy , if you could , uh ... amy : dr. munro , have you ever kept a secret ? what am i saying ? [ chuckles ] you 're a priest . hello . confession . [ chuckles ] griffin : um , i - i need you to -- amy : i have this secret that i promised i would keep to myself . griffin : that -- that 's usually what one does with a secret . amy : but this is good news , wonderful news , and the world should know . [ chuckles ] griffin : well , you should probably leave it up to whoever 's secret it is -- amy : hayden and dr. finn are a couple . but you ca n't tell anyone . we have doctor - patient- nurse - priest confidentiality . griffin : that 's not a thing . amy : maybe , but you still ca n't go around blabbing . like i said , it 's a secret . [ scene_break ] hayden : hey . finn : huh ? hayden : what 's going on with brad ? finn : oh ... it 's not worth discussing . hayden : is he talking about that patent nonsense again ? finn : who knows what that guy 's talking about ? everything -- everything 's cool . [ scene_break ] alexis : i am so grateful to have you in my corner . diane : of course , you are , as well you should be . now , let 's get you to that hearing . alexis : diane , you go ahead . i 'll meet you there . diane : but we were gon na go together , so i can continue to help you to prep and keep you calm . alexis : i 'm actually very calm right now . there 's just something that i need to do first . [ scene_break ] dante : alexis may or may not have killed baker , but she knows something . nathan : yeah , well , with diane miller defending her , we 're never gon na get a chance to question her . kiki : [ sighs sharply ] good , you 're here . i need your help . dante : yeah , kiki , what is it ? kiki sam went after franco . we think we found him . [ scene_break ] franco : i 'm in hell ... sam : hi . franco : ... and i 'm having visions ... sam : no , do you feel that ? franco : ... of people that i 've hurt . ow . sam : hi . no such luck . i 'm real . hey . franco : surprisingly that 's a lot less comforting . sam : look , i do n't feel good about this , either . i have to save your worthless ass . franco : oh , even i do n't think that 's fair . sam : look , i wish i could leave . franco : no , please , please , please . sam : i - i know . i -- i ca n't . franco : please do n't . sam : i ca n't . i wo n't . i need to know the truth . who did this to you ? franco : somebody who used to be really , really good at basketball . sam : come on . can you not be sarcastic for once , please ? tell me who did this to you . franco : i do n't know who did this to me . i have no idea . sam : you do n't ? franco : somebody knocked me out from behind and dragged me here and left me to die . sam : okay , well , who do you think it was ? franco : oh , sam . sam : what ? i mean , do you think it could 've been julian ? [ scene_break ] seth : franco killed my brother . no one else . the sooner you accept that , the better . elizabeth : ca n't you at least consider for one minute that you might be wrong ? do n't you want the person who really killed your brother brought to justice ? [ next_on ] valentin ( to nina ) : now it 's your turn to be honest . why did you bring me here ? anna ( to griffin ) : that is exactly what i want you to do . nathan ( to kiki ) : is there something else you 're not telling me here ? seth ( to elizabeth ) : you 'd better face it . you 're never gon na see him again . sam ( to franco ) : are you still going to protect my mom ? alexis ( to dante ) : i 'm fully prepared to cooperate with your investigation into the murder of tom baker .
dante confronts alexis at her house and wants to ask her questions about tom baker . alexis refuses to be asked such things and will not without her lawyer . after dante leaves diane shows up and alexis is unsure she wants to go to her hearing . at gcpd elizabeth confronts seth baker who has shown up to find out why franco is n't in jail yet . she ends up following him home where he insists that franco did it . meanwhile , sam follows up on the where kiki found the paper . she ends up finding franco and freeing him , however she does n't tell kiki in time and kiki goes to dante to inform her that sam might be in trouble .

[ gasps ] like that beautiful actress in that old movie . hayden : greta garbo in `` camille `` ? amy : who ? no . nicole kidman in `` moulin rouge `` . this is so romantic . your entire life has been a tragedy finally leading you to fall in love with a man who cured you of a disease that you both shared .

[ scene_break ] alexis : i have no idea where i was on december 21st , because it was over a month ago . i ca n't remember that . dante : would you want to check your planner ? maybe it 'll help you jog your memory . alexis : no , i do n't , and i 'm not going to . dante : why are n't you gon na do that ? alexis : i may not be practicing law now , but i still know how . and if you were questioning a client of mine under these circumstances , i would advise that client not to answer any questions without counsel present . dante : but there is counsel present . you 're -- you 're standing right here . alexis : [ sighs ] even if i were n't suspended , i 'm not stupid enough to represent myself . now ... diane will be here soon , if you 'd like to stay and talk to her , but we both know how that would go . dante : why are you doing this , alexis ? i 'm not accusing you of anything . alexis : yet . you 're not accusing me of anything yet . dante : so what you 're saying is you 're not gon na answer any questions about tom baker . alexis : that 's exactly what i 'm saying . [ scene_break ] sam : when i find franco , i 'll call you , okay ? kiki : sam , you can not go alone . sam : look , there are things that are going on here that you do n't know about , and i have to talk to franco alone . kiki : okay . no . first of all , you hate franco . sam : i - i do n't hate him enough to leave him for dead or to kill him . come on . not anymore . no , i do n't . kiki : sam , no , you are pregnant , okay ? you should n't be going anywhere alone , let alone someplace dangerous . sam : okay , then i 'm -- i 'm gon na call jason and i 'll have him meet me there . kiki : okay , and what if he ca n't ? sam : i -- kiki , come on . you are my cousin . you know what kind of person i am . i promise you i 'm not gon na let anything happen to franco . kiki : okay , yeah , and what if the guy that attacked franco comes back ? sam : give me 15 , 20 minutes , tops . if i do n't get back to you , call the cops , okay ? kiki : okay , 15 minutes ... sam : [ groans ] kiki : ... and i 'm going straight to the police . sam : great . thank you . kiki : [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] franco : dear ... elizabeth ... i do n't know if i 'm gon na get out of here . i tried . i tried to be better . for you ... for your boys . and i do n't know if we 're gon na be together ... for us to enjoy that progress . [ sighs ] here we are , trying to coax the jungle of our hearts out into the open . elizabeth : are you talking about being vulnerable ? franco : yeah , i - i 'm talking about being vulnerable together . that 's what an art collaboration is , right ? if one of us falls down , the other 's there to catch them . i love you .

[ scene_break ] hayden : nurse driscoll . please . amy . it is highly inappropriate for you to be engaging in idle speculation . dr. finn and i are friends who shared a very difficult ordeal . amy : that brought you closer together . but now that the crisis has passed , what will happen to the love ? hayden : there is no love . we 're just professional co - workers . that 's all . amy : you know , for someone with a reputation for being a con woman , you 're not a very good liar . [ chuckles ] hayden : i got to go . i need to look up the policy about gossiping . amy : i already did . it 's outdated and unenforceable . hayden : well , it 's time to update it . [ scoffs ] amy : okay . you clearly do n't want to share your happiness with anyone , certainly not with me . hayden : thank you for understanding . amy : i 'm sorry . i got carried away . hayden : do n't let it happen again . amy : it 's just that there 's so little romance in my own life . hayden : [ sighs ] geez . amy : i mean , how could there be ? i 'm stuck here every day , day in , day out , just giving . all i ever do is give . so when i see someone take a little morsel of happiness for themselves , i ca n't help but be their biggest cheerleader . [ chuckles ] hayden : yeah ? well , good luck with that . amy : and if you do n't want to share that with me , i 'm sure you can tell tracy quartermaine . i know you 've bonded with her probably as much as anyone can . hayden : she 's right behind you . amy : [ gasps ] that was not nice . hayden : yeah , well , life 's a bitch and so am i . see ya . amy : i know what you 're doing , and it wo n't work ! i will still be your friend ! hayden : we 're not friends . amy : that person you can share things with . [ chuckles ] hayden : you really want to be my friend ? amy : i really do . so , friend ... how serious is it with you and dr. finn , being that you nearly died together , but somehow romantically pulled through ? [ chuckles ] could it maybe , possibly be love ? [ scene_break ] griffin : well , it 's a pretty strong dosage . i would n't want to overprescribe . finn : no , i -- i understand . and if it was n't for bradshaw being gone for another week , i wo -- [ sighs ] you know what ? forget about it . i 'm -- i 'm -- i 'm just gon na gut it out , okay ? griffin : hey , i , uh -- i had n't realized dr. bradshaw was gon na be gone for so long . how about ... [ pen clicks ] griffin : ... i double it ? [ scene_break ] alexis : so , if that 's all ... dante : look , uh , maybe if you knew why i was asking you these questions ... alexis : i would be more inclined to answer them ? alexis : dante ? i know you 're not intentionally trying to insult me , but you are . i have said to you that i 'm not going to answer any questions without benefit of counsel . now , for the sake of our friendship and our mutual family , we 're done . dante : are you sure you want to do this ? you could just be making things a lot more difficult for yourself . alexis : we 're done . dante : okay , well , you know where to find me if you change your mind . alexis : i wo n't . dante : okay . alexis : oh , god . no , no , no . no ! no . [ scene_break ] [ keys jingling ] seth : you followed me ? elizabeth : we need to talk . seth : what 's the point ? you do n't think franco killed my brother . i know for a fact he did . we got nothing to say to each other . elizabeth : please ... just for a -- a moment ? seth : it 's not gon na do any good . elizabeth : thank you . seth : look , all you 're doing is defending a low - life who 's run off to god- knows - where , leaving you to clean up his mess . elizabeth : if i thought for one second franco did this , i would not be defending him . i just -- right now , i need to find the truth . seth : okay . so shoot . elizabeth : okay . all right , so , first of all , in all of this mess , there 's something that really confuses me . seth : i 'm sure there is . franco 's been probably lying to you every step of the way . elizabeth : no , no , it 's -- it 's not about something franco said . it 's about something you said . [ scene_break ] sam : oh , okay . this is dillon 's , which means franco 's got to be around here somewhere . no . more storage lockers as far as the eye can see . franco ? franco ? franco ? franco : [ weakly ] in here . [ scene_break ] hayden : there 's a little ... something going on between finn and me . amy : [ chuckles ] i knew it . i can tell when i saw you together this morning there was like this current of attraction . [ chuckles ] this is so exciting . hayden : okay , this is something you have to keep on the down low , okay ? at least for now . amy : of course . hayden : okay , now that we 're both back at work , we both want to do a good job and we 're keeping things completely professional here at the hospital . amy : say no more . i will be the soul of discretion .

[ cell phone beeping ] griffin : all right , i 'm sorry . i got to run . they have a consult down in the er . feel better , man . finn : thank you . brad : i 'm onto you . finn : excuse me . brad : you are playing a dangerous game with your health and your career ... and we both know it . [ scene_break ] dante : elizabeth gone ? nathan : yeah , she went after seth baker . dante : tom baker 's brother ? nathan : yeah , i had to tell him about franco 's disappearance . [ scoffs ] he was not pleased . not that i blame him . hey . what 's -- what 's going on ? dante : look , we , uh , got to get a search warrant for alexis davis ' house . nathan : what , you think there 's actually something to what elizabeth told us ? dante : well , she was pretty jumpy . did n't want to answer any questions without a lawyer present , and she respectfully declined to come down to the station . nathan : well , you could have brought her in anyways . dante : yeah , alexis would have had a field day with that , not to mention diane , her attorney . nathan : what , you think we actually have enough for a search warrant ? dante : i do n't know , but we got to try . i - i know somehow alexis was involved . [ scene_break ] alexis : [ exhales sharply ] [ knock on door ] alexis : who is it ? diane : it 's your lawyer . alexis : [ sighs ] you 're -- you 're back early . diane : and you look perfect . of course , i had no doubt you 'd pull it all together . no one does `` lawyer `` like you . alexis : why are you back early ? diane : because i have news about the hearing . you ready ? alexis : the asteroid is careening toward the planet that 's going to spare me the humiliation of this event ? diane : [ laughs ] no . better . i was just told that ... are you all right ? alexis : no . something just happened , and i - i do n't know that i handled it correctly . diane : does it have to do with the hearing ? alexis : no . diane : all right , well , then whatever that is , it can wait , because this is what i was just informed about the hearing . alexis : i - i do n't need to hear it . because i do n't think i can go through with the hearing . diane : and yet you will . alexis : diane . diane : all right . listen to me . i know your confidence is shaken . but trust me when i say , as your brilliant attorney and your loyal friend , that you are being ridiculous ! alexis : listen to me . i do n't think that i can go through with this hearing . [ scene_break ] seth : something i said ? what do you mean ? elizabeth : back at the police station , you mentioned that franco locked tom in a cage . seth : he did . elizabeth : i know . i know because franco told me . seth : and you 're okay with that ? elizabeth : no . no , of course not . seth : then what ? elizabeth : well , that information was confidential . and i 'm under the impression the police have n't released that to the public , so ... how do you know ?

[ chuckles ] griffin : looks like you just made amy 's day . you must have had some pretty sweet gossip . hayden : i 'm an administrator in this hospital . it would be really inappropriate to be engaging in gossip with the staff . griffin : [ chuckles ] you 're clearly new to hospitals . hayden : okay , look , i can neither confirm nor deny -- griffin : yeah , yeah , yeah . okay . um , so your , uh -- your buddy finn played hockey ? hayden : yeah , that 's right . how in the world did that come up ? griffin : uh , you know , guys , sports . hayden : yawn . griffin : mm . hayden : [ chuckles ] griffin : well , i 'm glad you and finn are feeling better . it 's nice to have you both back . [ scene_break ] finn : you 're talking in circles , brad . it 's giving me a migraine . brad : i saw you con dr. munro into writing you a script . finn : what i talk to dr. munro about is none of your business . brad : in fact , he wrote you one ... two . apparently , the first one was n't good enough . what , a dosage too low ? finn : okay . we 're done here . brad : look . we both know you were taking zen - zen for blackwood 's . that stuff is incredibly addictive . now , i 'm assuming your intention is to kick it , but that could be a lot harder than you realize . finn : my health concerns are none of your business . and on top of that , you 're wrong . brad : i hope so . but i 've seen this kind of behavior before . okay , we all have . which is why i think it 's my duty to give the hospital board -- ms. barnes and everyone -- full disclosure regarding my suspicions . finn : what do you want ? brad : [ scoffs ] i think we 're finally getting somewhere . [ scene_break ] seth : i did n't know if that information was confidential or not . and i do n't really care . you see , the police did n't tell me about the dog cage . tom did . elizabeth : he did ? but ... was n't he killed -- did you see him ? seth : no ... but i talked to him ... right after . right after he escaped that psycho boyfriend of yours . tom was freaking out . told me how franco had him locked up in a cage . and somehow he managed to escape with his life . that was the last time i heard my brother 's voice . elizabeth : did he say how he escaped ? seth : no , i asked , but he was just ... panicking ... terrified that franco was still coming after him . turns out he was right . elizabeth : huh . seth : what `` huh `` ? did he say anything about getting the upper hand ? or about putting franco in the cage ? seth : he was lucky to string three words together . why ? is -- is that what franco told you ? how convenient that he has an alibi . is that what you were gon na tell me ? that franco could n't have done it , because tom put him in a cage ? elizabeth : yes , that was part of it . seth : you still think he 's innocent , do n't you ? you know what ? i do n't want to hear it . i - i - i think you should go . elizabeth : okay , i 'll -- yeah , i will go . i will go . just one more thing . seth : what ? elizabeth : did he ever mention a place called gene 's branford roadhouse ? or the names of people he might be meeting there ? seth : why are you asking me this ? elizabeth : because i think someone else is responsible for your brother 's murder . [ scene_break ] diane : do you want to explain to me what 's happening here ? why you can not attend this -- this meeting that is perhaps the most important of your professional career , maybe even your life ? alexis : because i ca n't . it 's not gon na do any good . diane : oh , okay . all right . i see what 's happening here . alexis : no , i do n't think you do . diane : no , i do . you 've explained it to me all before -- the guilt , the doubts , the fear that your career as a lawyer is over , that the mistakes you 've made are too big and too widely known for you to ever be a lawyer again , that no one will ever trust you with their assets , their secrets , their lives , that your career is so far down the rabbit hole that even i ca n't pull it out . let me tell you something . you just need to relax . no , well , try at least . what 's the saying -- fake it till you make it ? because i 've got -- your abject neuroticism has sidetracked my incredible news . alexis : [ sighs ] what is it ? diane : malcolm o'hare . alexis : [ scoffs ] diane : right ? he who was to have chaired your ethics hearing ? malcolm o'hare , who is always so annoyingly draconian about things like the rules , has come down with the flu . and while we take no pleasure in his distress -- alexis : do n't we ? diane : we take a little pleasure in his distress , but we take great pleasure in the fact that he has been replaced by -- wait for it -- miriam johansson . alexis : seriously ? diane : yes ! yes ! oh ! she who has always been known to examine closely the extenuating circumstances , which , as we both know , would be the title of your memoirs . and she 's a huge fan of yours . alexis : i think you 're laying it on a little thick . diane : i 'm not . i had my assistant chat up her secretary , and entre nous , she thinks what 's being done to you is a travesty . alexis : she does n't think i 'm a travesty ? diane : she does not . so , honey , the planets and the stars have aligned in your favor regarding this hearing . but if you want to reschedule , you wo n't get another hearing for months . by that time , unfortunately , malcolm will have gotten over the flu , and you not showing up today will reflect very poorly on you . alexis : more than covering up for a murder or two ? diane : alexis ... honey ... you 're a wonderful attorney . you 're a good and moral person . and that 's what the law needs -- the best . in fact , the law needs only the best . alexis : i see your point . diane : good . now , aside from the case of the jitters , is there any reason why you ca n't make that hearing today ?

[ scene_break ] trevor : i must admit there are intriguing elements about your proposal . carly : i was hoping you 'd think so . trevor : so let 's just say for the purposes of argument , i 'll play along . what makes you think that your proposal will fall out as you predict ? kate howard did n't rise out of obscurity to the top of the fashion world by being fatuous or gullible . carly : no , she did it by getting on her back for you . kate has one major flaw . she 's arrogant . and she 's been underestimating me from day one . and that 's a habit for her because she underestimated you , too . she blew you off , and she thought there 'd be no consequences . i 'm just saying it 's time to change that . let 's mot make it so easy for her . trevor : believe it or not , carly , i do n't get up in the night having obsessed about kate howard anymore . she is of little or no consequence in my life . carly : i do n't believe that for one second . why would you be sticking around port charles ? it 's a cute little town , but it 's no manhattan . so , you 're not here for the location , and you 're not here for your abiding love for ric . you know , the son that you ca n't stand , who wormed his way into the zacchara organization at anthony 's right hand , all but eliminating your position . and then sonny 's married to claudia . well , that 's just diminished it even more , if not , you know , getting rid of you all together . when sonny took over , you should have seen the writing on the wall and bowed out gracefully . but you did n't , which tells me that you have ulterior motive for sticking around . see , i 'm guessing it 's kate . trevor : i love it . you 're like a dog with a bone . now i find that very attractive . but tell me , just to assuage my curiosity , why is it that you are so intent on hurting kate ? carly : because i think it 's time that she gets exactly what she deserves . and i think you believe that , too . so work with me , and we can make that happen . [ scene_break ] sonny : what makes you think it 's okay to interrupt a meeting and tell me when to end it ? claudia : you 've done everything you needed to tonight . you stepped up . you took the reins . everyone knows who 's in charge . it 's time for you to pull back and let the lieutenants get used to the new order . sonny : when i want your advice , i will ask for it . and -- ric , is there something interesting about my wife ? [ scene_break ] johnny : that cop was a disgrace to his badge . one minute he was abusive and the next minute he could n't bend over far enough because he found out i was a zacchara . the last straw was when he started hurling insults at you . lulu : who cares what some dirty cop , who we 'll never see again , says about me ? johnny : i do . lulu : well , i care about you . and it concerns me how crazy you got , even after the cop had backed way off . you got even madder until you finally blew up and hit him in the face . johnny : well , you know what ? do you know how many cops are on my father 's payroll ? how many innocent lives are at the non - existent mercy of my father because cops like that are paid to look the other way ? lulu : if this is about you rebelling against your family , i have news for you . you accomplished exactly the opposite . johnny : what do you mean ? lulu : what do i mean ? as we speak , you and probably me are wanted for assaulting an officer . and the only way to get out of it is to use the zacchara influence , so you 're going to have to call trevor and tell him exactly what happened . johnny : no , no , no . i am not calling trevor or anybody else in my family and asking them for help ever again . [ scene_break ] edward : we should have left that door open . she is bound to come in here if she sees it closed . alice : does it matter ? we 're not safe anywhere in this house . monica : it 's true . the situation is just intolerable . alice : it 's never been this bad . i just got done talking the gardener down from filing a lawsuit against us . edward : i saw it myself . oh , ho . she tore into him like sherman burning atlanta . she has to be contained . monica : well , you know what that means , do n't you ? edward : oh , no , no , no . there must be some other way . monica : okay . i 'm open to suggestions . alice : face it , mr. q. , it 's time to swallow your pride . monica : mm - hmm . edward : now , look , there is no way in hell that i 'm just going to take hat in hand and creep over to that reprobate and beg him to move back in here . tracy 's voice : do you really think you can avoid me ? monica : i 'm really open to suggestions . tracy : i 've got a few bones to pick , and i am starting with you . just because you are chief of staff , thanks to daddy and me , does not mean you can go ahead and move my charity guild meeting . monica : first of all , i am completely qualified to be chief of staff , and i do n't need you or edward to put any pressure on it . and second of all , neurology needed the conference room . tracy : fine . do n't let it happen again . if it does , you 'll be answering phones in the nurses ' station . monica : oh . tracy : now you . edward : what did i do ? tracy : if you had n't been so busy meddling in e.l.q . matters that no longer concern you , you would have caught monica 's obvious power play , and you would have given me the heads up , but , no ! so fine . both of you , watch your backs . this is war . edward : but you -- tracy : do n't speak . alice : i got off easy that time . tracy : alice . alice : yes , ma'am , miss tracy . tracy : would you agree that we pay you a generous salary ? alice : oh , yes , miss tracy . very generous . thank you . thank you . monica : would it be generous enough for you to keep fresh ice in the bucket or would that require a raise ? alice : i 'll get some more , tracy , right now . i 'll go to the freezer . i 'll go to the freezer . i 'll get some -- tracy : out ! edward : let 's go now . tracy : cowards . edward : oh . alan : so far , life without luke seems to be pretty bleak . tracy : there is no luke . and i am finally facing up to it and moving on . alan : by making life miserable for everybody around you ? tracy : you signing up ? alan : me ? no , fortunately , i 'm dead . tracy : really ? you could n't tell by me . alan : why do n't you go to luke , see if the two of you can work this out ? tracy : no . alan : or do n't . [ scene_break ] ric : i meant no disrespect . i was just trying to gauge whether or not this meeting was going to continue . if so , i 'd like to bring you up to speed as far as the year to date profits . sonny : can you give us a minute , ric ? ric : no problem . sonny : i have people waiting . claudia : fine . if you insist on continuing , let me sit in . sonny : why ? claudia : because nobody knows the zacchara business better than i do . no one does . i can be helpful to you , sonny . and i know my place . i wo n't speak out of turn . in fact , i wo n't speak . i 'll just sit there and file away what needs to be corrected or looked at later . and i 'll bring it up with you later . sonny : you 're right . i 'm sorry . i do n't know what i was thinking . we 'll go ahead and reconvene tomorrow morning , say around 9 : 00 . man : thank you . sonny : uh , ric , you did n't hear what i said ? ric : well , i though i 'd stick around and brief you on the men you 're going to meet tomorrow . forewarned being forearmed and all that . sonny : fascinating . both of you tripping all over each other , trying to give me advice . trying to convince me that you 're solidly on team corinthos . why ? tell me why should i trust either of you ? claudia : well , i 'm not going to speak for ric , but i 'm your wife . our interests are joined in unholy matrimony . and that should be reason enough . [ scene_break ] edward : ooh , luke . come in , come in . thank you for coming so quickly . luke : why am i sneaking in ? edward : well , you see , you 're a surprise . monica and alice and i have given this matter very serious consideration . and in spite of my grievous apprehension , we have decided to invite you to move back in . luke : well , that 's very generous . edward : mm , mm . luke : cynical me . i smell a rat . edward : well , of course , there will be some limitations to your behavior . luke : well , pal , i do n't do limitations . edward : get back here , you two - bit freeloader . you do n't fool me . you can hardly wait to park your butt on my favorite chair there and have alice wait on you hand and foot . luke : well , apparently , you can hardly wait for me to park my butt on your favorite chair . why ? edward : it 's tracy . she is making our lives hell . you see , my daughter is a horrible , wretched woman , even on of her rare good days . and losing you has ratcheted this whole thing up to a much higher level . so , you see , if you do choose to come back to us , you may sit in my best chair . you can certainly drink my finest scotch . and you can have your pick of the lobsters . and i personally will light my cigar for you to smoke . i 'll even rub your shoulders if you 're tired . luke : you keep your mitts off me and you 've got a deal . edward : oh , thank you . thank you . thank you from the bottom of my heart . how soon can you move back ? luke : oh , my bag is in the car . spanky . tracy : get him out of here before i have him arrested . [ scene_break ] johnny : look , i 'm the only fugitive here . you are under no obligation to stay . lulu : do n't be ridiculous . i love you . if you 're on the run , i 'm on the run . anyway , it 'll be a lot more fun than going to europe because i am not cracking up yet . johnny : well , maybe it 's my turn . it was stupid and reckless for me to goad the cop the way i did , lulu : well , he was a jerk for trying hassle people . johnny : you were just jumping down my throat for punching the guy out . lulu : yes . i am not saying he did n't deserve it . it 's not the punch that was the problem . it 's the reason behind it . you would have walked away if that cop had n't cowered at the mention of the zacchara name , but that 's what blew your head off . johnny : welcome to my life . and i 'm sick of it . i want to get away from that fear and loathing that sets in every time somebody finds out who i am . you want to know the irony of the situation is that the blood that flows through me , this zacchara blood that i hate so much , is exactly what made me lash out and hit the guy and sabotage our escape . lulu : maybe it 's fixable . [ scene_break ] sonny : we agreed to make the marriage work if we have mutual respect . claudia : right , the million dollar word being `` mutual , `` sonny . a great place for you to meet me halfway would be respecting my opinion and the contributions i can actually make instead of just dismissing me out of hand . sonny : you know what ? if i gave you that impression , then i apologize because it was n't my intention to dismiss you . it 's just i 'm a man of -- you know , that does n't like to share his power with anyone , not even with jason . that 's not going to change . you know , hey . do n't get defensive , but it has nothing to do with you being woman or whether i doubt your abilities because i know that you 're well - versed in your family 's business dealings and all that , right ? claudia : yeah . sonny : but my deal with your father was that i 'd run the organization as i see fit . no input . ric : in other words , you just got shut out . do n't take any offense at it , claudia . sonny does it with everybody . [ scene_break ] edward : well , i 'll leave you two to work things out among yourselves . and use your time wisely , huh ? [ edward chuckles ] tracy : pay no attention to my father . he 's senile . in fact , i 'm thinking of having him committed . i do n't want you back . i do n't miss you . in fact , for the first time since you cursed my life , i feel a wonderful sense of control . it 's very empowering . i like it . a lot more than i like you . luke : if you 're so on top of the world , why are you making life such a bitter pill for your family ? look , tracy , i know you 're pissed at me . maybe i deserve it . and maybe i do n't . but the point is , bring your anger to the source . yell at me . smack me over the head with a ming vase . do whatever the hell it is that you need to do so that we can get over this and get back to being us . tracy : there 's no `` us . `` there 's you , who married me for my money . and then there 's me . the delusional one who thinks you actually cared about me . luke : care about you ? no . tracy , i love you . tracy : luke , i 'm the back - up wife . a position , i might add , that i am resigning . get out ! alice : mr. luke . mr. luke , do n't give up . you belong here with me , with all of us . edward : i second that . i second that for the moment . monica : whatever tracy says is irrelevant because this happens to be my house . tracy : yes ! because my brother gave it to you . monica : and you can stay here as long as you like . luke : thank you , dr. quartermaine . monica : you 're welcome . alice : how about a cocktail ? can i get you one ? luke : well , you know , i would n't mind a nice , big glass of edward 's private reserve . alice : good idea . right away . luke : so , wife , this could actually work for you , you know . i mean , if absence makes the heart grow fonder , misery loves company . [ scene_break ] johnny : i do n't know . it works for me , but what about you ? you 're going to miss your father and your brothers . what if your mother comes back ? lulu : i 've got to break something down for you , okay ? parents have kids . the kids grow up . they find love of their own . and sometimes the love takes them to far off places . and then they have this thing called visiting . johnny : okay , i get it . lulu : well , then get it loud and clear and understand that my place is with you . spinelli : greetings , couple of ever - escalating drama . maximista and i are here at your service . maxie : speak for yourself . i 'm not a willing participant . lulu : what 's the problem ? maxie : do n't you think you 're being a little melodramatic ? i mean , yes , johnny hit a cop , but it 's not like he killed anyone . is it necessary for you guys to leave town ? lulu : it is or else we would n't have called you . maxie : have n't i done enough for you this year ? lulu : if you really felt that way , why did n't you say no on the phone ? maxie : because spinelli is making me a much nicer person . and now my first instinct is to help others , regardless of my reservations or concern for my own self - preservation . spinelli : good . then let 's just go with that first instinct and lend assistance to our dear friends . so , if you are intending to go on the lam , as it were , a safe assumption might be that you need some supplies . maybe some cyber assistance . lulu : yeah . well , food and water . i was kind of hoping that you could get us some clothes . maxie : that 's a really good way to attract attention to yourself , running from the law in the latest designer wear . lulu : i was thinking something a little more down - scale . maxie : what -- you want me to go into one of those mega - stores to buy you some clothes ? lulu : it 'll broaden your horizons . johnny : okay . look , where your skills are going to come in , we need some fake ids and car registration . maxie : hold on . okay , this is starting to sound like a really bad idea . do you remember the last time we tried to help lulu flee from the law ? she went crazy . spinelli : yeah , but the original blonde one 's psyche is much stronger now . and if she does want to stand by her man , as the empress wynette decreed , it is our duty as her closest friends to help her facilitate that . lulu : hey , maxie , there 's also , you know , the bonus that you get to have kate and `` crimson `` all to yourself . maxie : been there . doing that . and it 's not all that it 's cracked up to be . lulu : you do n't like your job anymore ? maxie : do n't be an idiot . i love my job . but part of the fun was bossing you around . and i kind of miss you when you 're not there . but this is n't about me , right ? so this is what you and johnny need to do then spinelli and i will make it happen . [ scene_break ] carly : hi . i 'm so sorry to keep you waiting . nikolas : that 's all right i 'm kind of getting used to it . what 's your emergency ? carly : no emergency , more like a wake - up call . no more miss nice guy . no more bending over backwards to make things work with jax , you know ? i 'm done . i 'm done . nikolas : well , that 's certainly a change in attitude . i 'm glad you 're finally seeing jax as he is . carly : you know what ? it 's not like i have n't been cheated on before , but at least that was situational . this was deliberate , and it was cynical . and he 's not even attracted to her . i mean , he can not possibly be attracted to her . nikolas : i 'm sorry . you lost me somewhere . right around `` situational . `` carly : jax slept with kate howard . and , you my friend , are going to help me make sure they both pay . [ scene_break ] sonny : you have a point , ric . you know , maybe it 's because i was an only child . and i was never taught to share with others . i never really played well with others . and it stuck . and , unfortunately for you , i now run the entire zacchara organization , so you have to follow my orders . now , if that 's difficult for you , if you are going to be bringing up your brother 's issues into the business , then you can hit the road , jack . ric : no . that wo n't be necessary , sonny . claudia : so what about me ? i mean , to what extent am i supposed to play the submissive mob wife ? am i supposed to not ask questions ? sonny : oh , no , you can ask . i just may not answer . it depends how i feel . so , anyway , since we are on the subject , two things that are non - negotiable . you never undermine me . and you never make decisions in my name . and that goes for you , too , brother . are we clear ? ric : crystal . sonny : great . great . excuse me . ric : mm - hmm . claudia : where are you going ? sonny : where am i going ? i am going to kate 's . claudia : am i supposed to be okay with that ? sonny : okay . i did n't think i 'd have to spell this out , but i 'm going to do it anyway . you and i are married for business reasons . you know what that means ? that means we get to do whatever the hell we want to do in our personal lives . got it ? great . [ scene_break ] carly : you know diane miller ? nikolas : diane miller , the lady mouthpiece for the mob . yes , i do . carly : do n't knock her . she 's a great lawyer . and she 's representing me in my divorce . maybe she can use the settlement to tie up jax 's development plans for spoon island . nikolas : and how 's that ? carly : technically , jax and i were still married when he swindled the ground out from underneath you . maybe i can stop the progress . nikolas : look , although i appreciate any strategy that might keep jax from building spas and golf courses or whatever else on my moors , any businessman worth his salt knows not to place his interests in the middle of a squabbling couple . carly : nikolas , that did n't seem to bother you when you wanted 25 percent of the metro court . nikolas : no , no , no -- see that , see that was different . carly : how ? nikolas : because you and jax were relatively friendly then . the dynamic has changed . you 're out for blood now . carly : yeah , i am . and i 'm going to get it from both jax and kate . [ scene_break ] ric : well , alone at last . claudia : mm - hmm . i ca n't . i ca n't make out with you here . ric : why ? claudia : this is my house with sonny now . ric : oh , really , so ? sonny basically came right out and said he has no problem with our relationship . claudia : that 's not what i heard . ric : oh , really , what did you hear ? claudia : i heard -- i heard that he does n't trust either one of us , and you 're on very thin ice . so continuing this relationship right now would be a very risky proposition indeed . ric : i do n't think sonny cares what we do as long as we do n't embarrass him . claudia : i do n't agree . i really do n't . ric : is that wishful thinking ? claudia : what does that mean ? ric : i do n't know . maybe you have got some sort of wacky idea in your head that just because you got a ring on your finger this is some sort of a real relationship . do n't set yourself up for a fall , claudia . my brother only falls in love with women who have the potential to save him . and , no offense , that 's not you . [ scene_break ] kate : we ca n't keep doing this . there 's nothing more to say . sonny : okay , you do n't have anything to say , but i have something to say . can i come in ? i 'll make it quick . kate : fine . sonny : can you look at me at least ? i want to apologize for all the times that i hurt you , for putting you in the line of fire , for not being 100 percent honest with you about getting there . i regret that we did n't get married . and i take sole responsibility for why we did n't . kate : okay , so , what 's the point ? sonny : what 's the point ? the point is that i made a lot of mistakes . because i do n't know how to be other than what i am does not mean that i did n't love you , and it does n't mean that i do n't love you . kate : but what you 're really saying is that everyone has been right all along . because i do n't think you really do love me . i think you love the idea of me . [ scene_break ] lulu : maxie and spinelli should be back by now . johnny : it has n't been that long . man , too bad this place is closed down . looks like one of those good places you can rent out by the day . lulu : is that something you would be interested in ? johnny : that sounds like heaven . i could use a dedicated place to work on my cars and -- lulu : whoa , did you just say work on your cars ? johnny : yeah . lulu : i 'm sorry . well , i just thought you only knew how to change the oil and make them look all shiny . johnny : well , i will have you know i am great with all my cars . i do all my own repairs . lulu : really ? wow , that is impressive . well , but , you know , i bet you do n't know how to hotwire one . johnny : are you serious ? lulu : yeah . johnny : after all the talks we 've had . everything you know about me , you honestly think i do n't know how to hotwire a car ? okay , you 're right . i do n't . but i 've seen it done on tv . lulu : oh , that helps . well , then it 's a good thing that i 'm here , because my father made sure i knew how to hotwire a car before i left the fourth grade . johnny : wow . hey , you do n't have to go through with this . seriously , i hate the idea of you missing your family and the people that you love because i lost my temper . lulu : we 've already agreed . we 're in this together . johnny : okay . [ scene_break ] nikolas : sorry about that . carly : no , i 'm the one who should apologize . you getting that call gave me a chance to take a step back . you know , i 've been overly emotional and unprofessional . i have no reason bringing you into my personal affairs . nikolas : no harm done . carly : but you know what ? in my defense , i 've been completely blind sided . i have . i ca n't believe jax hurt me like this . i guess i just -- i guess i just pushed him too far . nikolas : i had the same kind of feelings when emily and i were divorced . just dwelling on them is completely unproductive . carly : but jax is n't completely innocent on this . kate has been throwing herself at him for months , just to get back at me . and he knew it . and he went on and on and on about how he was n't attracted to her . so , the only reason he did this was to get back at me . so , as far as i 'm concerned , he deserves exactly what he gets . nikolas : carly , i 'm not trying to defend jax , but it 's clear that underneath all that anger you have , you still love him . so i 'm warning you . you better be absolutely sure how far you want to take this revenge . [ scene_break ] claudia : sorry , i must have missed the day when you became an expert on all things sonny corinthos . last i checked , your brother could n't stand you . never could . and certainly he does n't trust you . ric : well , i do n't have to be sonny 's best friend to figure out what drives the man . i mean , he 's not even subtle . my brother goes full out for everything that he ca n't have -- in work , with women , and in life . sonny 's a walking disaster , claudia . and the farther you can stay away from him , emotionally speaking , the better . claudia : oh , are you afraid that i 'm going to fall in love with sonny ? is that what this is about ? because i do n't do love . ric : yeah , but sonny does . i mean , for all the man 's faults , he -- he still believes that love is -- well , not only possible , but redemptive . i mean , it 's going to save him one day . some angel is going to whisk him off -- take him out of the darkness . that ca n't be you , claudia , okay ? you do n't fit the profile . you know , you 're not kate . you 're not emily . and you 're not the sainted lily . and you do n't even believe in love as a concept , much less salvation , right ? claudia : that 's not true . ric : oh ? claudia : i believe that love is the most destructive force known to man . i believe that love takes otherwise rational people and makes them insane . i believe that love is an illusion ultimately . what you really fall in love with is your own reflection in somebody else 's eyes . it 's a lie , and it 's just a big cosmic joke . ric : well , hearing you say that makes me -- makes me even sadder for you than i would be for sonny . good night , mrs. corinthos . [ scene_break ] sonny : why would you even say something like that ? i know you 're hurt . that 's why you 're saying these things . but you know what ? do n't negate what we had -- what i felt , what i feel now . kate : that was n't real . sonny : ha ! what -- kate : that 's what i have to face now , right ? maybe you should , too . sonny : why would you say that ? you were there . all the love we had years ago came back . it was strong . it was better than ever . you ca n't just wish it away because things are n't working out right now . kate : sonny , what we had were complimentary fantasies , right ? you needed to put me up on a pedestal . sonny : that 's not true . kate : well , i liked it . i really , really liked it . i liked thinking that i was the one woman who really understood you . the one woman who could take away all of your pain and give you a happily ever after . sonny : you did that , so why are we even having this conversation ? kate : i did , really ? is that what you told lily ? sonny : oh , please . kate : is that what you told emily ? you know what ? sonny , i think i 'm okay with moving on . i think i 'd like to offer you some advice . i think that you should n't go there anymore . it 's a doomed strategy to failure , because no woman can change you . that is up to you . and you just admitted that you ca n't even do that . so , you know what ? maybe you should n't . i do n't know . maybe you should n't . i mean , after all , you thrive in your world . it 's when you leave that everything falls apart . sonny : you think i want to do this ? you think i want to marry claudia -- cozy up to anthony ? you think i do n't want to be with you , loving you ? whether you think it or not , i 'm doing this for you . there are a lot of dangerous people i 'm dealing with , and nobody is safe around here . now whether you think it 's warped or not , i am going to find out who is responsible for shooting you . kate : do n't do that . sonny : so we do n't have to go through this again . kate : do not blame me . sonny : what do you want me to do ? kate : do not use me as an excuse . i begged you not to do this . you are not back in the mob because you love me . you are back because you love it . i do n't understand why after everything that we 've been through that you just ca n't figure that out , sonny . why do n't you just own it ? own it . [ scene_break ] alice : now you let those toes dry , mr. luke , before putting a slipper back on . edward : you know , it 's amazing . those slippers look exactly like mine . alice : oh , well , i knew you would n't mind , mr. q . luke : if you do mind , edward , i can rejoin my slippers . they 're in my dank , tiny , little cabin over at the haunted star . edward : oh , no , i would n't hear of it . anything that we can do for a man who brought peace and quiet back into this house is a small price to pay . monica : yes , have you thought about what you 'd like for dinner , luke ? luke : did someone mention lobster ? edward : wh -- lobster it is . uh oh , who 's going to tell cook ? alice : oh , i 'll go into that lion 's den for mr. luke . luke : thank you , miss alice . alice : you 're welcome . luke : oh , wife , how does lobster for dinner sound ? tracy : i do n't have time . luke : you going somewhere ? tracy : oh , you bet your sweet coddled ass i am . hi , tracy quartermaine . yeah , could you prepare the company jet please ? i 'm flying to the dominican republic tonight . that 's right . i 'm getting a divorce . [ scene_break ] maxie : here , and there 's a bag with food and soda in my car . lulu : oh , thank you so much , maxie . maxie : why are you hugging me ? lulu : i do n't know . sorry . spinelli : the jackal brings tidings of joy . maxie : it 's a little early for christmas wishes , spinelli . lulu : um , did you get the fake ids ? spinelli : i am happy to report that they 're no longer necessary . johnny : what does that mean ? spinelli : well , there 's no need for you to take your romance on the road because the crime that would have warranted such an action -- namely the assault on a graft - taking police officer -- was never reported . maxie : yay . you can stay . lulu : oh , do n't touch me . maxie : sorry .

<s>[INST] johnny : looks like this place has n't been used in a while . it 's the perfect place to hide out from any roving squad cars . lulu : do you have a death wish ? what were you thinking , hitting that cop ? i hope it felt really good . johnny : actually , it did . lulu : great . because you know what you accomplished ? you put us right back were we started . running from the law . [ scene_break ] trevor : i must admit there are intriguing elements about your proposal . carly : i was hoping you 'd think so . trevor : so let 's just say for the purposes of argument , i 'll play along . what makes you think that your proposal will fall out as you predict ? kate howard did n't rise out of obscurity to the top of the fashion world by being fatuous or gullible . carly : no , she did it by getting on her back for you . kate has one major flaw . she 's arrogant . and she 's been underestimating me from day one . and that 's a habit for her because she underestimated you , too . she blew you off , and she thought there 'd be no consequences . i 'm just saying it 's time to change that . let 's mot make it so easy for her . trevor : believe it or not , carly , i do n't get up in the night having obsessed about kate howard anymore . she is of little or no consequence in my life . carly : i do n't believe that for one second . why would you be sticking around port charles ? it 's a cute little town , but it 's no manhattan . so , you 're not here for the location , and you 're not here for your abiding love for ric . you know , the son that you ca n't stand , who wormed his way into the zacchara organization at anthony 's right hand , all but eliminating your position . and then sonny 's married to claudia . well , that 's just diminished it even more , if not , you know , getting rid of you all together . when sonny took over , you should have seen the writing on the wall and bowed out gracefully . but you did n't , which tells me that you have ulterior motive for sticking around . see , i 'm guessing it 's kate . trevor : i love it . you 're like a dog with a bone . now i find that very attractive . but tell me , just to assuage my curiosity , why is it that you are so intent on hurting kate ? carly : because i think it 's time that she gets exactly what she deserves . and i think you believe that , too . so work with me , and we can make that happen . [ scene_break ] sonny : what makes you think it 's okay to interrupt a meeting and tell me when to end it ? claudia : you 've done everything you needed to tonight . you stepped up . you took the reins . everyone knows who 's in charge . it 's time for you to pull back and let the lieutenants get used to the new order . sonny : when i want your advice , i will ask for it . and -- ric , is there something interesting about my wife ?

[ scene_break ] sonny : we agreed to make the marriage work if we have mutual respect . claudia : right , the million dollar word being `` mutual , `` sonny . a great place for you to meet me halfway would be respecting my opinion and the contributions i can actually make instead of just dismissing me out of hand . sonny : you know what ? if i gave you that impression , then i apologize because it was n't my intention to dismiss you . it 's just i 'm a man of -- you know , that does n't like to share his power with anyone , not even with jason . that 's not going to change . you know , hey . do n't get defensive , but it has nothing to do with you being woman or whether i doubt your abilities because i know that you 're well - versed in your family 's business dealings and all that , right ? claudia : yeah . sonny : but my deal with your father was that i 'd run the organization as i see fit . no input . ric : in other words , you just got shut out . do n't take any offense at it , claudia . sonny does it with everybody .

[ scene_break ] johnny : i do n't know . it works for me , but what about you ? you 're going to miss your father and your brothers . what if your mother comes back ? lulu : i 've got to break something down for you , okay ? parents have kids . the kids grow up . they find love of their own . and sometimes the love takes them to far off places . and then they have this thing called visiting . johnny : okay , i get it . lulu : well , then get it loud and clear and understand that my place is with you . spinelli : greetings , couple of ever - escalating drama . maximista and i are here at your service . maxie : speak for yourself . i 'm not a willing participant . lulu : what 's the problem ? maxie : do n't you think you 're being a little melodramatic ? i mean , yes , johnny hit a cop , but it 's not like he killed anyone . is it necessary for you guys to leave town ? lulu : it is or else we would n't have called you . maxie : have n't i done enough for you this year ? lulu : if you really felt that way , why did n't you say no on the phone ? maxie : because spinelli is making me a much nicer person . and now my first instinct is to help others , regardless of my reservations or concern for my own self - preservation . spinelli : good . then let 's just go with that first instinct and lend assistance to our dear friends . so , if you are intending to go on the lam , as it were , a safe assumption might be that you need some supplies . maybe some cyber assistance . lulu : yeah . well , food and water . i was kind of hoping that you could get us some clothes . maxie : that 's a really good way to attract attention to yourself , running from the law in the latest designer wear . lulu : i was thinking something a little more down - scale . maxie : what -- you want me to go into one of those mega - stores to buy you some clothes ? lulu : it 'll broaden your horizons . johnny : okay . look , where your skills are going to come in , we need some fake ids and car registration . maxie : hold on . okay , this is starting to sound like a really bad idea . do you remember the last time we tried to help lulu flee from the law ? she went crazy . spinelli : yeah , but the original blonde one 's psyche is much stronger now . and if she does want to stand by her man , as the empress wynette decreed , it is our duty as her closest friends to help her facilitate that . lulu : hey , maxie , there 's also , you know , the bonus that you get to have kate and `` crimson `` all to yourself . maxie : been there . doing that . and it 's not all that it 's cracked up to be . lulu : you do n't like your job anymore ? maxie : do n't be an idiot . i love my job . but part of the fun was bossing you around . and i kind of miss you when you 're not there . but this is n't about me , right ? so this is what you and johnny need to do then spinelli and i will make it happen . [ scene_break ] carly : hi . i 'm so sorry to keep you waiting . nikolas : that 's all right i 'm kind of getting used to it . what 's your emergency ? carly : no emergency , more like a wake - up call . no more miss nice guy . no more bending over backwards to make things work with jax , you know ? i 'm done . i 'm done . nikolas : well , that 's certainly a change in attitude . i 'm glad you 're finally seeing jax as he is . carly : you know what ? it 's not like i have n't been cheated on before , but at least that was situational . this was deliberate , and it was cynical . and he 's not even attracted to her . i mean , he can not possibly be attracted to her . nikolas : i 'm sorry . you lost me somewhere . right around `` situational . `` carly : jax slept with kate howard . and , you my friend , are going to help me make sure they both pay . [ scene_break ] sonny : you have a point , ric . you know , maybe it 's because i was an only child . and i was never taught to share with others . i never really played well with others . and it stuck . and , unfortunately for you , i now run the entire zacchara organization , so you have to follow my orders . now , if that 's difficult for you , if you are going to be bringing up your brother 's issues into the business , then you can hit the road , jack . ric : no . that wo n't be necessary , sonny . claudia : so what about me ? i mean , to what extent am i supposed to play the submissive mob wife ? am i supposed to not ask questions ? sonny : oh , no , you can ask . i just may not answer . it depends how i feel . so , anyway , since we are on the subject , two things that are non - negotiable . you never undermine me . and you never make decisions in my name . and that goes for you , too , brother . are we clear ? ric : crystal . sonny : great . great . excuse me . ric : mm - hmm . claudia : where are you going ? sonny : where am i going ? i am going to kate 's . claudia : am i supposed to be okay with that ? sonny : okay . i did n't think i 'd have to spell this out , but i 'm going to do it anyway . you and i are married for business reasons . you know what that means ? that means we get to do whatever the hell we want to do in our personal lives . got it ? great . [ scene_break ] carly : you know diane miller ? nikolas : diane miller , the lady mouthpiece for the mob . yes , i do . carly : do n't knock her . she 's a great lawyer . and she 's representing me in my divorce . maybe she can use the settlement to tie up jax 's development plans for spoon island . nikolas : and how 's that ? carly : technically , jax and i were still married when he swindled the ground out from underneath you . maybe i can stop the progress . nikolas : look , although i appreciate any strategy that might keep jax from building spas and golf courses or whatever else on my moors , any businessman worth his salt knows not to place his interests in the middle of a squabbling couple . carly : nikolas , that did n't seem to bother you when you wanted 25 percent of the metro court . nikolas : no , no , no -- see that , see that was different . carly : how ? nikolas : because you and jax were relatively friendly then . the dynamic has changed . you 're out for blood now . carly : yeah , i am . and i 'm going to get it from both jax and kate . [ scene_break ] ric : well , alone at last . claudia : mm - hmm . i ca n't . i ca n't make out with you here . ric : why ? claudia : this is my house with sonny now . ric : oh , really , so ? sonny basically came right out and said he has no problem with our relationship . claudia : that 's not what i heard . ric : oh , really , what did you hear ? claudia : i heard -- i heard that he does n't trust either one of us , and you 're on very thin ice . so continuing this relationship right now would be a very risky proposition indeed . ric : i do n't think sonny cares what we do as long as we do n't embarrass him . claudia : i do n't agree . i really do n't . ric : is that wishful thinking ? claudia : what does that mean ? ric : i do n't know . maybe you have got some sort of wacky idea in your head that just because you got a ring on your finger this is some sort of a real relationship . do n't set yourself up for a fall , claudia . my brother only falls in love with women who have the potential to save him . and , no offense , that 's not you .

[ scene_break ] 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 n't even on it . carly : why would you care ? ric : of course i care . i 'm your friend . why would n't 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 n't 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 n't know , ric . you tell me . ric : okay . you are way off base here . carly : oh , am i ? because jason does n't like you . and he 's never wrong . ric : oh . carly : and -- i do n't know . you made yourself so indispensable to me , ric . it does n't add up . unless you 're angling for something . ric : you know what ? i do n't -- i do n't -- i do n't know what i have said or done to make you think this way . this really is n't -- 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 . [ scene_break ] jason : well , thanks for inviting me to the wedding . brenda : i did n't 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 n't that nice ? jax : yeah , brenda told me she invited you to the wedding . jason : yeah , i wo n't 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 n't for that , brenda and i would n't 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 n't 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 n't you a little nervous ? jax : we 're getting married . brenda : should n't 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 n't 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 n't 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 . [ brenda giggles ] jax : i do n't 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 . [ scene_break ] skye : oh . alan : i did n't 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 . [ scene_break ] ned : you know , i have no idea who you are anymore . alexis : [ as kristina ] okay , why do n't 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 n't a moment to spare . the bride is eagerly awaiting to be escorted down the aisle . excuse us , wo n't you ? come along . cameron : wrong way . you 're coming with me , kristina .

while getting ready for her and jax 's wedding , jason came and talked to brenda about whether she wanted him there in case she wanted a way out ... brenda told him that she was happy with jax . she also told jason that her and sonny talked and they respected each other 's marriages . at the wedding , skye stood outside the room , holding a loading gun . she looked like she was about to shoot . after brenda repeated her vows , jax would n't say `` i do 's `` and told brenda that he would n't marry her . at the opening of her club , carly was upset because she thought sonny was going to leave her for brenda . carly told ric he was too good to be true , and he should mind his own business . when courtney came , carly told her that she thought sonny was still in love with brenda . sonny came after visiting lily 's grave , and told carly that he wanted to talk to her . she stormed out , and faith had one of her men follow her . she ended up at jake 's and the guy slipped something into her drink . at the wedding , `` alexis `` was hitting on ned . cameron knew that she was kristina , and made her leave . on the docks , kristina told cameron that alexis was gone and may never come back . cameron asked about alcazar and kristina admitted that she killed him . she then threatened to kill cameron if he did n't keep her secret .

[ glass breaks ] ric : could you please be a little bit more careful ? get a broom and clean that up . we have n't 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 . [ scene_break ] 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 n't miss what used to be . i do n't ache any more for what i ca n't 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 ?

[ jason sighs ] 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 n't 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 n't 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 .

[ scene_break ] 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 . [ scene_break ] jax : excuse me . hey . what 's up ? skye : oh . jax , do n't 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 n't 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 .

[ scene_break ] carly : jason has to have called sonny and told him where michael is by now . lorenzo : it 's a good bet . carly : why has n't sonny called me ? michael needs his mother . he 's probably so frightened . lorenzo : carly -- carly , stop for a second , just think about what you really want . carly : i want my son . lorenzo : i realize that . what are you going to do when you get him ? carly : i do n't know . i 'm open to suggestions , just make it fast . lorenzo : i think you have two choices . it 's a matter of record that michael killed a.j . , so either you surrender him to the court or you spirit michael out of the country for good . [ scene_break ] reese : i put the screws to him and durant has agreed to a deal . sonny : he should n't even be part of this , reese . reese : well , unfortunately , durant is the d.a . and we have no choice but to deal with him . if sam and jason turn themselves in and deliver michael to the authorities , then all the charges pertaining to yesterday 's escape will be dropped . they 'll walk . sonny : he 'll still be branded a murderer . reese : michael 's a minor , sonny . it 'll be a closed hearing . he 'll explain what happened the night a.j . died , there 'll be a suspended sentence , and court- ordered therapy . sonny : he will be arrested and they will treat him like a criminal . reese : they ca n't do that , sonny . sonny : yes , durant can , and i 'm not allowing that . reese : then you 're ready just to grab michael and run ?

the guy , he , like , vaporized or something . ciara : okay , but that does n't mean that he did n't kill jordan . rafe : he wanted nothing to do with jordan . the minute he found out she was pregnant , he was gone . ciara : did she ever talk about him ? rafe : no . no . she would -- she would never say very much about him . he meant nothing to her . ciara : okay , so for all you know , things could have been really bad between them , right ? rafe : oh , my god , ciara , listen to me . there is not one shred of evidence that says he was in salem the night that jordan was murdered . ciara : so what , rafe ? you do n't have a positive i d on ben either . and this entire case has been based on dna evidence . rafe : yeah , and dna evidence does n't lie . ciara : it can be misinterpreted . and you know that . rafe : if the killer was someone other than ben , the guy must have been wearing a hazmat suit or something . ben 's dna was the only dna we found on jordan 's body , okay ? well , that and david 's . but david sure as hell did n't kill her . ciara : wait a minute . rafe : what ? ciara : my dad used to say that assumptions are the mother of all mistakes . so what if you just assumed that the dna was david 's ? what if it was really david 's father 's ? sarah : would you like me to explain the process of harvesting the bone marrow to you ? gabi : [ stammers ] well , i 'm not even -- i 'm not even sure what to do next . i 'm not in a position to really do what i want . eric : well , i 'm sure if i go to the police or the da and let them know the situation of mackenzie 's position , i 'm sure they 'll find a way to allow you to donate . gabi : right . sarah : we can start with rafe because you know him and he has clout here , so -- eric : yeah . all right , i 'm gon na do that . we 'll keep you up to date on what we find . gabi : can you just wait one -- one minute ? eric : yeah . what is it ? gabi : well , i have n't said i 'd do it . rafe : every human being gets 50 % of their dna from each parent . it 's impossible that david 's dna is an identical match for his father . ciara : but there had to have been a ton of similarities , right ?

[ dramatic music ] will : so the person who really killed your sister could be david 's father . ben : ciara 's theory . will : okay . do you have any evidence ? ben : no , no , but -- no , listen , rafe said that jordan told him more than once that she did n't want david 's father anywhere near her or near david . they had some major problems , will . she would never talk about it . will : no one 's ever been able to track down the guy . ben : my case is circumstantial . will : yeah , no witnesses or anything like that . ben : the only reason my dna was found on jordan was because i was the one who found her . i tried to revive her . will : well , honestly , it sounds like a long shot . but i mean , it 's not nothing . ben : i hope . it 's my only hope of getting out of here alive . what the hell are you still doing in here , man ? i thought you 'd be a free man by now . will : well , i should be , but , um , turns out that maggie was so wasted the night of the accident that she does n't even remember she caused it . ben : how do you know that ? will : ciara told me . and maggie came to see me today . ben : what , you did n't tell her ? will : i tell her and then she has to deal with the fact that she killed sonny 's mom . ben : so ? will : so i was trying to figure out what to do about that , and then -- and victor arrived and he -- he said that it would -- that the truth would kill maggie . ben : okay , victor says whatever is best for victor . he wants to keep you quiet , right ? will : yes . i mean , definitely . ben : no , no . screw that . are you kidding me ? you ca n't stay in here forever , will . you need to call sonny and tell him . will : i ca n't , though . ben : what do you mean you ca n't ? why ? will : listen , because i gave victor my word . i gave him -- i gave him my word that i 'd help protect maggie . ben : so what ? will : [ stammers ] ben , if it was -- if it was one of victor 's other wives , then yeah , i would have told him to get lost . but it 's maggie . ben , it 's maggie . it 's the sweetest , gentlest , nicest person in the world . and victor 's right . the truth would kill her . so yeah , i promised him i would not say anything . victor : now , if maggie stays in the dark and will keeps his mouth shut , we should be okay . xander : that 's a lot of ifs . victor : yeah , i hope my meeting with will was n't in vain . sonny : you went to see will ? why would you do that , uncle vic ? victor : well , for you , of course . wanted to find out what was holding up the divorce papers . told him you could n't get on with your life until they get signed . sonny : thank you for trying to help me , but i 've already been to see him . i told him the exact same thing , uncle vic . victor : i found that out . sonny : so i 'm guessing he told you that the papers were in his cell and then they were confiscated after ben escaped . victor : yes . hopefully , that will all get straightened out and you 'll be able to get on with your life . sonny : well , ari 's home from school . and i have to go talk to her . victor : about gabi ? sonny : yes , and i 'm dreading this conversation . xander : well , at least you can say her mum 's a hero . victor : hero ? gabi ? xander : oh , i did n't get a chance to tell you . yeah , she 's the dna match for mackenzie . she can save her life . victor : how can that be ? sonny : beats me , but it 's true . i was actually at the police station when eric and sarah came to tell her the news . it 's an absolute miracle . so at least one good thing came out of today . xander : well , he 's having a rotten time of it . victor : yes . his life would be a lot better if he knew that will was innocent , but ... i love that boy , but i ... have to do what i have to do to protect maggie . xander : listen to me . maggie 's been in an accident . i talked to her . she seems fine . but she 's had a skinful . she 's passed out drunk . i 'm pretty sure , but the thing is , her car 's stuck in a ditch . maggie : oh , dear god . dear god . i was drunk . i had a blackout . oh . sarah : what do you mean you are n't sure you want to do this ? eric : yeah , you got tested . you knew you might be a match . and you are . so why are you saying this now ? sarah : do n't you want to save mickey 's life ? lee : mr. kiriakis says you want to take the deal . gabi : mr. kiriakis is wrong . you can take your deal and shove it .

[ scene_break ] todd : no , i 'm not going to leave until we get somewhere , make some headway at least . starr : well , it 's not going to happen , dad , not while i 'm locked up here like a prisoner . todd : all right , well , what if i said -- what if i said i was wrong and i gave in a little in that ? starr : so you 're going to let me have my life back again ? todd : well , uh -- i mean , i 'm not going to let you have cole back again , that 's for sure , but maybe i was a little too hard on the homeschooling thing . starr : so you 're going to let me go back to school ? todd : one condition -- you promise you never see cole . you can not approach him , you can not make eye contact with him , you ca n't go anywhere near him . if you can promise me that , then , yes , but you have to promise me he 'll stay out of your life . can you do that ?

[ scene_break ] lindsay : okay . you got me . bo : okay . lindsay : okay , the real reason i was afraid , for real -- bo : mm - hmm ? lindsay : was because i thought that nora was going to trash me at every opportunity she got and that you would be influenced by that . bo : uh -- okay , first of all , i 'm not influenced by nora , or anybody else when it comes to who i like and who i do n't like . second , nora never even mentioned your name . lindsay : not even once ? bo : what , you 're upset because we might 've talked about you ? then you 're upset because we did n't talk about you ? lindsay : well , i thought that it would -- [ bo chuckles ] lindsay : oh , my gosh . i 'm being so neurotic , are n't i ? bo : lindsay -- look , you want to turn things around . you want a fresh start , right ? then you have to let go of this rivalry with nora . yeah . [ scene_break ] natalie : it 's just so not like you , nigel -- i mean , to lie to us , to the family , especially about something so important . nigel : when i attempted to analyze it myself -- tried to sort out why i would be reduced to such reprehensible behavior -- i thought perhaps it was a combination of shock and grief over losing mr. buchanan , and the sickening image of david vickers swooping down on this family like a vulture . natalie : well , we ca n't be too sure that jared 's not a vulture . nigel : true . however , mr. vickers was a known evil . and dare i say , mr. jared has not turned out to be the leech on the family that mr. vickers most certainly would have been . natalie : well , i think the jury 's still out on that . nigel : nor can i imagine mr. vickers risking his neck to save ms. jessica or anyone else -- granted , he gave up part of his liver for her -- but as i recall , he was trying to extort money for it . natalie : not surprising . nigel : also , mr. vickers does n't possess the business acumen and work ethic that mr. jared has already demonstrated and which your own father has praised . natalie : hey , you got a point . nigel : and then there 's mrs. buchanan . mr. jared has become like a son to her . he brought her out of her grief like no one else could . natalie : that 's true . nigel : in my own humble opinion , i believe mr. jared has turned out to be the kind of man mr. buchanan would 've been proud to call his own son . natalie : okay . yeah , i think you 're going a little too far on that -- jared 's not a saint . nigel : saint or not , i must admit i 've grown rather fond of jared -- buchanan , as has the rest of the family . and you -- you saw the good in him before anyone else . [ scene_break ] todd : no , i 'm not going to leave until we get somewhere , make some headway at least . starr : well , it 's not going to happen , dad , not while i 'm locked up here like a prisoner . todd : all right , well , what if i said -- what if i said i was wrong and i gave in a little in that ? starr : so you 're going to let me have my life back again ? todd : well , uh -- i mean , i 'm not going to let you have cole back again , that 's for sure , but maybe i was a little too hard on the homeschooling thing . starr : so you 're going to let me go back to school ? todd : one condition -- you promise you never see cole . you can not approach him , you can not make eye contact with him , you ca n't go anywhere near him . if you can promise me that , then , yes , but you have to promise me he 'll stay out of your life . can you do that ? [ scene_break ] dorian : adriana and i have a wonderful relationship . yes , of course , we have our issues . we 're both complex , uh , strong - minded women , but at the core there is a great deal of mutual love and respect . langston : and dorian 's never tried to control me . she 's been a great foster mother . blair : is n't that sweet . dorian : yes , it is . thank you , sweetheart , but i think it would be a good idea if you left us alone for just a few minutes . thank you . langston : okay . dorian : and would you mind closing the door ? langston : okay . dorian : okay , i admit i made a terrible mistake with adriana regarding paris . blair : paris ? wait , wait -- what are you talking about , `` paris `` ? dorian : adriana did n't tell you about it ? blair : no , she did n't tell me . dorian : oh . well , i thought that was why you were accusing me of being a controlling parent . blair : no , i 'm talking about the time you hired that lunatic stalker -- dorian : oh . blair : who almost killed her -- that 's what i 'm talking about . dorian : do not go there , okay ? blair : okay , well , then take me to paris . let 's go to paris . dorian : i -- with the best of intentions , i made a -- [ dorian sighs ] dorian : a terrible mistake , and adriana found out about it and now i 'm going to have to make it up to her . i do n't want to lose my daughter . blair : looks like we 're in the same boat .

i mean , i -- i came to you out of nowhere . we were strangers to each other , and you helped me achieve things i never could have imagined in my wildest dreams . and then how did i repay you for that ? bill : i deserved it . i deserved it . i 've done some awful things lately . the spectras ... hitting my son ... i 'm not a perfect person . far from it . i want to do better . i can do better . i ca n't undo the past . i ca n't change reckless decisions that i 've made . but i can assure you that my perspective has changed . i realize how much you mean to me . and how much i value being your dad . your happiness is more important to me than my own . and i want you to know that . liam : i do . i do . wyatt : so , my bleeding - heart brother might actually be right about this . where is he , by the way ?

ridge says things seemed to have settled down between steffy and liam because of the sally thing . she says yes they have put it behind them . you just ca n't get stuck in the past with all the guilt and blame . just love each other and move on . she says she and liam are together and nothing will ever come between them again . ridge says she is doing the right thing by just focusing on her marriage . he says sometimes you have to lose or almost lose a person to know how much they mean . she guesses he is doing a little of his own soul- searching . he ca n't wait to show her the engagement ring . she says brooke will love it . ridge says yes but then he knows her father - in - law is going to be the sore loser . bill is distracted and neither justin , wyatt or liam can get his attention over what he calls minutia . they think it is about brooke although bill denies it . they all say they will help him with anything . he tells the three stooges to back off . justin says he has never seen him like this . liam says they all know what he is going through .he just lost the woman he loved . bill says they are right , he did . he admits he screwed up . liam says he can not keep beating himself up ; it is not hopeless . bill tells them to get out of his office , they are not going to sit around and discuss feelings . go do something productive . justin and wyatt leave but liam stays behind . bill questions if he knows what the word productive means . liam says he knows what that feeling is like . when steffy walked out on him he really felt like he had blown it . but steffy got over it and he is glad they did or he does n't know where they would be right now . bill grumbles that he is glad things worked out . that 's the problem usually liam can not let things go . forgiveness is like that ; you either get it or you do n't , so liam should just accept it and stop ranting about it . liam says he knows but steffy wo n't let him apologize ; she is apologizing to him . then he goes on a long explanation of how steffy just drove around and ended up at the forrester guest house and just crawled into the bed there . but steffy did not even tell him that . it was quinn who found steffy 's bracelet . bill asks a few questions then says the important part is that steffy came back and it really does n't matter where she was during that period . liam says he does n't know how but in that guest house somehow steffy found peace and forgiveness so he knows something happened that night . steffy tells ridge that she almost lost liam and she does not want that to happen again . he is the most constant thing in her life right now .

[ cellphone chimes ] sorry . two seconds . i 'm sorry . oh , my ... ridge : everything okay ? steffy : yeah , it 's just my annual appointment reminder . it 's all good . this is gorgeous . brooke 's gon na love it . ridge : so you approve ? steffy : i do . ridge : cool . uh , i realize it 's not gon na make it any easier for you because your father - in - law is a bit of a sore loser . and i 'm not sure how he 's gon na react when he finds out that he 's lost the woman he loves . liam : you know , i still ca n't really figure it out . bill : that 's your problem , son . you ca n't let anything go . liam : oh , yeah , you would n't know anything about that , would you ? bill : look , you and steffy are back on track . why do you have to question it ? liam : because it happened so fast . bill : well , that 's how forgiveness works . you either get it , or you don't . liam : dad , i thought steffy was leaving me . i mean , when she walked out , i really did think that i had blown it . and then , you know , before i know it , she 's back and we 're renewing our marriage vows , and i do n't have to convince her of anything suddenly , in fact , she 's refusing to hear any of my apologies , and she apologized to me . bill : are you complaining ? liam : no , i 'm not complaining , i 'm just -- i 'm saying it 's amazing . i mean , imagine the kind of emotional fortitude it takes to be able to cut through all the -- all the confusion and pain and just say , `` hey , this is what i want , this is what needs to happen . `` when steffy came home that night , it was like she was a different person . now , she told me at first that all she did was take a drive , but then she admitted what really happened . bill : what ? liam : she went to the forrester estate , the guest house , and she -- she was so upset , she just crawled right into bed . bill : that 's what she said ? liam : no , at first , quinn was the one who told me . bill : what the hell does quinn have to do with this ? liam : because she found steffy 's bracelet in the guest house and gave it back to her . bill : so , uh , what ? that crackpot tried to make some whole mystery around the bracelet ? liam : no , actually , i know -- i know where you 're going with that , but actually , it was just casual conversations because quinn , she has a new line , and she 's using the same material as the bracelet , so ... bill : well , you know what , liam ... steffy came back to you , right ? so it really does n't matter where she was or what she was doing , does it ? liam : no , because of what happened at that guest house . i mean , steffy found peace and forgiveness somehow , someway . now , i do n't know what , but something happened that night . ridge : what just happened ? what did i just do ? it almost sounded like i felt sorry for bill . i 'm not sorry for bill because he does n't care about anybody . he does n't even care about his own son . steffy : dad , that 's not true . ridge : that 's not true ? he blew up a building that liam was in . steffy : it was a terrible accident , dad . bill was horrified . ridge : was he ? did he feel responsible ? no , he didn't . you know why ? because he 's a shark , and everyone around him is gon na get hurt . steffy : okay , you know what , i do n't -- i do n't want to talk about bill anymore or the demolition or liam and sally . i 'm putting this behind us . do n't you want to do that with brooke ? ridge : i do . once i put that ring on her finger , everything else can be ancient history . steffy : that 's great . it 's gon na be a new beginning for all of us . look , i just -- i just really want to just live in the moment , you know ? and just appreciate liam . we have an incredible life together . i mean , yeah , we 've gone through some terrible times , but we have wonderful ones , too . and i 'm so fortunate to be loved and supported by my husband . his love is the truest , most constant love i 've ever known . ridge : that 's what a dad wants to hear . steffy : i love you . i almost lost liam . i do n't want that to happen again . liam : honestly , you 're probably the last person i should be talking to about steffy and me . bill : why would you say that ? liam : because we 're happy . bill : that should bother me ? liam : i mean , i -- i know that your divorce with brooke is happening . wyatt feels terrible about it , too . we 've all be there . i almost lost steffy . i did n't , but i could have , and that scared the hell out of me , so i can only imagine where you 're at right now . bill : i 'm just grateful to have my sons . my family together . liam : well , that 's because family is what it comes down to for you . bill : right now , yeah . liam : not just right now . i mean , it 's always been the case that nothing 's more important to you than family , even ... [ sighs ] even when it 's not reciprocated . bill : stop . just -- just stop , liam . this is n't gon na become a competition about who 's got more to regret . believe me , i made more mistakes as a father than i can even list . liam : yeah , maybe . but how many sons can say they 've been afforded the opportunities from their father that you 've afforded me ? i mean , i -- i came to you out of nowhere . we were strangers to each other , and you helped me achieve things i never could have imagined in my wildest dreams . and then how did i repay you for that ? bill : i deserved it . i deserved it . i 've done some awful things lately . the spectras ... hitting my son ... i 'm not a perfect person . far from it . i want to do better . i can do better . i ca n't undo the past . i ca n't change reckless decisions that i 've made . but i can assure you that my perspective has changed . i realize how much you mean to me . and how much i value being your dad . your happiness is more important to me than my own . and i want you to know that . liam : i do . i do . wyatt : so , my bleeding - heart brother might actually be right about this . where is he , by the way ?

[ scene_break ] robin : i actually came to see laura 's doctors . there 's a breakthrough in a possible treatment for laura . luke : no , there is no treatment . i 've been told that over and over again . robin : that may have been true when she was first diagnosed , but in the world of medical research , opinions like that change all the time . luke : i 've heard that one before , too . every institution we 've been in , every doctor we saw suddenly disappeared whenever his pet theory went down the drain . robin : maybe not this time . when i lived in paris , i was involved in a clinical study regarding memory restoration . the lead researcher was working on this radical new medication . i 'm telling you , this guy is a genius , and what he 's come up with -- i think that it could help laura 's condition . now , i would have to do some tests on her and see if she 's a candidate , and i would need your permission for that , of course . luke : you know , hope is a very fragile thing , dr. robin . you can hope and hope and hope as your -- your loved one slips further and further away . and then one day you realize you do n't have any hope left . it died , it 's just gone . robin : i ca n't even begin to imagine what that 's like for you . and i 'm not going to lie to you -- even if laura were an ideal candidate , there 's no guarantees . but you should know there have been some patients in europe that have had good preliminary results . whether that means laura can come back to you the way you want her to , i ca n't say . but i think it 's worth a shot . here . take my card and just think about it . luke : there is n't a day goes by that i do n't think about it . robin : well , if you change your mind , give me a call . luke : i really appreciate your concern for laura . robin : well , she was always good to me . i 'd like to return the favor . luke : well , if you want to do something for her , dr. robin , please understand that i have to protect whatever dignity she has left .

[ scene_break ] robin : before i give you an answer , i want you to know how much i truly i love you and how committed i am to raising our little girl together . patrick : hey , you 're really starting to scare me because this is just starting to sound like a no . robin : well , i need you to be honest with me and be honest with yourself about why you suddenly want to get married . i mean , before -- not that long ago , it was , like , a death sentence to you . life is over as you know it . patrick : i thought we established that the things i 've said in the past no longer apply . robin : okay , everything changed when you found out you were going to be a father , right ? patrick : right . robin : so maybe that 's the reason that you want to get married or feel like you should because of the baby , but i honestly think that is a recipe for disaster . getting married because you are having a child together is a mistake because it means -- patrick : you 're right . robin : what ? patrick : you 're right . i think it would be a mistake to get married just because we 're having a child . i could n't agree with you more .

[ scene_break ] spinelli : karpov 's men are off - loading goods from the truck . no doubt it 's contraband . maxie : okay , let 's make an anonymous call to the police station . spinelli : if this place gets busted and shut down , it 'll only limit the jackal 's opportunities to gain evidence against the slavic seductress . maxie : stop that . if jason says that he is not getting it on with karpov 's lawyer , then he is not . all we need to do is gather enough evidence to run karpov out of town , and to do that , we just need to involve the police . where are you going ? spinelli : before we call anyone , the jackal must investigate further .

[ scene_break ] sonny : there 's all kinds of ghosts everywhere 'cause it 's friday the 13th , right ? how was therapy ? kate : it was good . it was hard , but good . sonny : yeah ? kate : yeah , just drudging up everything from my past , what happened with joe jr. , what i did to my son . i just really want to talk about anything else . weather , politics , movies . sonny : have i told you how -- how brave you are today ? kate : no . sonny : no ? kate : i do n't have a choice . thank you . dr. keenan says that , um , i have to be open and honest with everything . everything . i have to confront my past , every single , little detail , or i wo n't fully recover . what 's wrong , sonny ? are you all right ? sonny : there 's something you need to know . [ scene_break ] todd : i 've already given you a job . i 'm helping you establish an alibi . heather : shh ! todd : not to mention all the secrets that i 'm keeping for you , from dna tests to baby - switching to the wheelbarrows of death . heather : what about the secret i 'm keeping for you ? todd : that was your idea . heather : that 's revisionist history . all you had to do when téa opened up her arms and took in sam 's baby was tell the truth , that you let téa 's little boy die . todd : that is not what happened . heather : oh , it was very generous of you to not break téa 's heart . i admire you for it . i really do . but i 'm afraid the police will consider it kidnapping . and they 'll hold you responsible . unless , of course , you want to do this one , little thing for me and call it even . todd : i 'm not doing it until you tell me what it is . heather : it 's so simple , you 're gon na laugh . todd : if it 's so simple , why do n't you do it ? heather : [ chuckles ] because i 'm stuck here . todd : well , they 're not gon na hold you here forever . heather : [ sighs ] this is a time - sensitive matter . all i 'm asking is for a little care and feeding , okay ? otherwise we 're gon na have another dead body on our hands . [ scene_break ] luke : [ thinking ] stay sharp . there you go . anna will come through . oh , what good 'll that do if you 're not breathing to greet her ? [ door opens ] lulu : dad !

[ scene_break ] joe jr. : you know , it ca n't be easy knowing that your own sister died because of you . do n't let it eat you up too much . it 's not like she was heading for a nobel peace prize . you know , more like a trailer park , maybe a little stint in rehab . [ chuckles ] not much for an existence , if you ask me . mcbain : kind of like your life from here on out . joe jr. : i did nothing wrong . and i 'm gon na prove it . mcbain : it 's gon na be amusing to watch you try . joe jr. : you know what 'll be amusing , lieutenant , is watching your face when the charges get dropped for lack of evidence . mcbain : so maybe you slip through . maybe you do n't . [ scoffs ] in the end , we all have to pay for our sins , joe . it 's like i told you when we first met . you can run , but you ca n't hide . i mean , you tried . your daddy sent you down in new orleans to hide out because you were an embarrassment he could n't afford . joe jr. : you know nothing about my father ! mcbain : oh , yeah ? i knew he could n't take you hanging around the family business any longer . but , hey , you know , none of this matters . you 've been found , and now you 're gon na pay . joe jr. : you listen to me , lieutenant . i 've got a life out there , a good one , and no one 's gon na stop me from living it . [ scene_break ] starr : your dad is missing ? trey : i did n't mean to make it sound like an emergency or anything . he 's just not returning my calls or -- or my messages or anything like that . starr : when 's the last time you spoke to him ? trey : you do n't have to pretend like you care , okay ? starr : trey , if something happened to him -- trey : nothing happened . he 's probably fine . he just forgot his cell phone or forgot to charge it or something like that . starr : okay , fine . well , you obviously know him better than i would , so ... trey : look , i 'm just used to him checking on a daily basis , so it 's a little weird . that 's all . starr : why do n't you call someone ? maybe a neighbor could check on him . trey : never mind . i - i got it . just , um , just go take care of your big plans . [ scene_break ] kristina : i made a move on trey , and he fully rejected me . michael : wait , did n't you say that he kissed you back ? kristina : oh , he did . michael : okay , and did n't you also admit that he was into you ? kristina : he thinks i 'm hot . big deal . he said he does n't want to get involved until the show wraps . or do you think that 's just some kind of excuse ? but then he also said it was because of his dad . like , he did n't want to let his dad down . michael : [ scoffs ] by dating you ? kristina : by tanking the show . but what if trey just is n't interested ? this is where you give me your opinion . michael : okay , fine . at face value , it seems like trey is attempting to be responsible . kristina : face value ? so it 's a load of bull . michael : i think you dodged a bullet , krissy . the guy 's trouble . [ scene_break ] starr : trey , it 's okay to be worried about your dad . maybe i could help . trey : how ? starr : well , there 's this detective . he 's a good family friend . i could call him . maybe he could look into it . trey : really ? you 'd -- you 'd do that for me ? starr : yes . and my dad , he has connections pretty much anywhere , so , yes , i would do that . trey : okay , but i thought you two did n't really get along . starr : we do n't , and then we do , and then we do n't again , but i love my dad . he drives me crazy when he gets into my business , which is pretty much all the time . trey : okay , so , while i could use a few more calls from my dad , sounds like maybe you could do with a couple less from yours , huh ? starr : more like a hundred . trey : [ chuckles ] [ scene_break ] tracy : have you notified johnny that his grandfather is dead ? anna : yes . i have . i contacted him this morning when i could n't find you . tracy : well , okay . thanks for the update . if there 's nothing else ... anna : yeah , there is . i thought you might be interested to know that i do have a suspect in custody . tracy : luke ? anna : heather webber . [ scene_break ] heather : remember when i told you i did n't kill mr. zacchara ? todd : oh , no . you were just protecting the guy who did , right ? heather : well , that 's who i 'm asking you to care for . without your help , he 'll starve . todd : why ca n't he just feed himself ? heather : he 's all tied up . literally . [ scene_break ] luke : [ grunting ] [ sighs ] water . lulu : water . luke : water .

[ scene_break ] sonny : you just got out of shadybrook . kate : dr. keenan says i 'm making excellent progress . sonny : i just do n't think -- i do n't want you to do too much too soon . kate : i can handle it , sonny . sonny : how do you know you can handle it ? kate : [ sighs ] sonny : this guy is smug , disgusting . he 's an animal . kate : what is he gon na do ? he 's gon na deny to my face that he raped me ? is that what he said ? sonny : no , he said it happened . kate : he said that i wanted it . is that what he said ? what did he say ? ! sonny : joe jr. said you threw yourself at him . [ scene_break ] joe jr. : as soon as i go free , i 'm gon na sue you and corinthos for everything you 've got . mcbain : good luck with all that . joe jr. : wo n't need it . got justice on my side . mcbain : well , if you do , why not go after the whole damn police department ? joe jr. : they were a little rough during transport . i think that i may have sustained some internal injury . [ chuckles ] and not to mention i lost something of great sentimental value . mcbain : your soul ? no , i think you lost that a long time ago . joe jr. : a medal . worn it over 20 years . [ scene_break ] trey : see this ? starr : yeah , you never take it off . trey : my dad and i have worn matching , uh , st. columbanus medals since i was a little kid . starr : what 's the deal with st. columbanus ? trey : he was an exile , like my father . starr : an exile ? from where ? trey : his family . him and his old man had a falling out a long time ago , and , um , so he left home , never really looked back . and i do n't know if they know where he is . starr : that 's pretty intense . trey : yeah . but , you know , he -- he never let it get him down . he 's always , uh , he 's always saying , you know , you can -- you can do whatever you want . it does matter what or who you leave behind . starr : you really look up to him , do n't you ? trey : he 's my idol . [ scene_break ] kate : joe jr. said i forced myself on him ? how would that have worked ? sonny : it does n't -- it does n't -- it does n't matter . kate : it does matter . tell me . sonny : he claims that -- that he -- he was giving you money for things that you wanted that i could n't afford . kate : that 's -- that 's a lie ! sonny : it 's all a lie ! that 's the way joe operates ! kate : well , you know , he did speak to me ! sonny : i do n't -- you do n't have to explain to me -- kate : no , i need to tell you this . i need to tell you what joe jr. did . he used to hit on me all the time , sonny . he would make lascivious comments and then play them off as a joke . i thought he was disgusting , but i did n't want you to know because i did n't want to make trouble for you . sonny : that 's what makes me mad is that he used me against you ! kate : what did he say about the rape ? sonny : he says that you , uh , you asked him over . kate : ugh ! sonny : it was -- it was your idea . kate : oh ! i do n't know why i 'm so angry . i should n't be surprised . sonny : there 's something else . kate : what ? sonny : he knows about the baby . [ scene_break ] starr : are you sure you do n't want to file a missing - persons report ? trey : he 's not missing , okay ? i - i told you . he 's just out of touch . starr : you 're sure ? trey : yeah . besides , you know , dad would n't want me to waste time worrying about anything when i could be working on the show . starr : and where are you going ? trey : uh , kristina 's dad 's warehouse . they set up a tour for us . starr : willingly ? trey : well , i do n't know . i think kristina had to do a little arm - twisting , but whatever . we 're in . starr : what are you hoping to find ? trey : as long as it 's juicy and i get it on camera , anything .

[ scene_break ] anna : see , i have reason to believe that heather is the person that moved the body from where you last saw it on the terrace to where it ended up being buried . tracy : really ? and did you talk to her ? anna : yeah . she denies everything . and i have absolutely nothing physical to tie her to the body . tracy : really ? and how long can you hold her ? anna : well , not that long . as soon as steve gets her a lawyer , then i 'm gon na have to let her go . tracy : hmm . then i guess you 're back to square one . anna : the strongest evidence i have is the autopsy confirming anthony was shot with the gun that your prints are all over and luke 's . tracy : i did not murder anthony zacchara . anna : yeah . call me crazy , but i do believe you . tracy : and if you ca n't prove that heather did it , i guess you only have one suspect . luke . anna : if i can find him . [ scene_break ] todd : you are holding someone prisoner ? heather : no . i 'm affording someone space and solitude to own up to their feelings for me . todd : you know , stockholm syndrome does n't always work believe me . i speak first - hand . heather : i do n't have time to argue with you about this , and neither does luke . todd : luke ? heather : yes . that 's his name . and the longer we dilly - dally around here , the more dire the situation becomes . todd : i ca n't believe i 'm even considering this . heather : i knew you 'd see reason . todd : where do you have your pal luke holed up ? heather : someplace you 're very well - acquainted with . it 's gon na be a cinch .
