lucky : of course i 'll be there . you think i 'd miss a father - son picnic with my kid ? no , i 'm looking at the date right now , inside a big red circle . absolutely . i will make the best hot dogs that you and your friends have ever tasted . all right , love you , too , cam . hey , you make sure to hang gram 's phone up all the way . okay . mac : got a hypothetical for you . lucky : [ sighs ] i hate those , but you 're the boss . mac : say you 're michael corinthos . your testimony 's the most wanted piece of evidence in your father 's murder trial . to elude said testimony , your family has stashed you in a secret location for weeks . suddenly you 're back in port charles , responsible for hiding yourself . where would you be ? [ scene_break ] molly : what the heck are you doing with a stash of candy bars ? morgan : i swiped them from mom 's secret drawer . michael : brave man . morgan : there 's so much junk in there , she wo n't notice a few missing candy bars . besides , i thought we should have something to celebrate with . kristina : what 's the occasion ? morgan : dad 's trial is almost over . he 'll be free , and michael will be clear to come home . kristina : except for one major obstacle . michael confessed to dante . molly : well , yeah , but dante did n't turn him in . morgan : and he wo n't . dante 's an awesome big brother . he pushed me out of the way of a moving car to save my life , made a big scene , pulled me off the witness stand . he 's just gon na make sure you 're okay . [ scene_break ] [ all shouting at once ] judge : i will have order in this courtroom ! dante : if you give me a chance to get up -- judge : silence ! young man , you 're in contempt . dante : anything but . your honor , i am telling the truth . michael corinthos was not held out of court so he could n't testify . he was kept away so he could n't confess . he was n't just a witness to claudia 's killing , he actually did it . and everything since that point has been a cover - up , starting with the defendant 's plea of self - defense . i can prove it . diane : your honor , i 'm sorry , but i can not sit idly by while all the rules of judicial procedure are made a mockery of . claire : your honor , for once the prosecution agrees with the defense . this is just a last - minute effort for detective falconeri to grandstand . and i promise you , i 'll have your badge for it . dante : what , for telling the truth ? i would think you 'd be grateful i saved you the career embarrassment of prosecuting what happens to be an innocent man , at least in this case . [ gavel bangs ] judge : you people need a dictionary ? ! silence means nobody talks but me until i say otherwise . now , you violate that , you be prepared to make your home in a holding cell for the foreseeable future . anybody want to call my bluff ? bailiff , take the jury back to the jury room . you are not dismissed . you are not to put credence on anything you 've just heard . at this point , this is nothing but a fairy tale concocted for god only knows why , and i intend to find out . and do n't talk about it . go . now we 'll hear objections . prosecution first . claire : detective falconeri is a walking conflict of interest , your honor . he 's the defendant 's son . as evidenced by the fact that he 's already lied under oath to this court to protect his father . and talk about fairy tale -- who can forget the whopper that detective falconeri spun about the keystone cop who fumbled his gun and shot himself , when anyone with half a brain knows that sonny corinthos shot him at pointblank range . judge : you prove that , we 'll have something to talk about . claire : i 've already proved it in the second lie detective falconeri is telling . he is covering for his father again , by trying to direct this court into a mistrial . and any proof he claims to have is yet another fabrication unless michael corinthos walks in here and confesses . are you going to produce this witness ? no . you ca n't , because you conveniently let him go . your honor , for all we know , the detective and michael have cooked this whole thing up , and michael is probably kicked back on some privately owned , mob financed island laughing his ass off at the rest of us scrambling around trying to find justice for claudia corinthos , the actual victim here . [ scene_break ] mac : look , i figured you were a good person to approach , you know ? luke spencer 's son would know every nook and cranny in this town . probably used them once or twice . lucky : it 's a lot easier to disappear than people think . sometimes you just hide in plain sight . mac : is that what you think michael 's doing ? lucky : i do n't know . maybe . look , i could probably find him , i just have a lot of misgivings about trying . michael 's my cousin . it 's the same conflict of interest that made me step down from the investigation into claudia 's murder . i do n't want to hunt down family , mac . mac : you think michael saw sonny kill claudia , do n't you ? lucky : i think michael was in the cabin , yes . mac : lucky , i feel sorry for that kid . you know , i mean , he got his brains scrambled in a bungled hit on his mob boss father . he spent a year in a coma , then watched his stepmother get bludgeoned to death . the last thing he needs is my entire force trying to track him down . this is n't a hypothetical anymore . michael 's got to be brought in one way or another . and given the choice , i 'd like it to be as easy on him as possible . lucky : okay . i 'll find him . [ scene_break ] molly : do n't you think we deserve a little praise for helping you keep your secret all this time ? michael : you guys did great . morgan : except for me . i blabbed to dante about where you were . michael : things are all playing out the way they 're supposed to . kristina : you really think so ? michael : i do . i never liked the idea of hiding from what i did . molly : well , you should n't have to . uncle sonny should n't be on trial either . claudia was a nut case . your mom and baby sister were in danger and you protected them . i think it was very brave of you . morgan : it 's what happened after that made everything a big mess . molly : true . everybody probably should have just told the truth from the beginning . kristina : right . like mom did after she hit kiefer . and that worked out well . it does n't matter if it was an accident . the bauers are still calling it murder , and mom 's gon na be on trial next . molly : hey , do n't even say that . kristina : it 's true , and you better prepare yourself , because the bauers are going to make us pay for what happened to kiefer . michael : see ? this is exactly why i should have been here . you guys needed me . morgan : we all need each other . molly : and now we 're together again . morgan : plus we have dante . kristina : i would n't count on that , morgan . morgan : why not ? kristina : it 's just complicated . i mean , he 's a cop and all , and he 's mad at dad . morgan : they 'll work it out . michael : look , the gardener should be coming by this way anytime . you guys should go , okay ? hey , i want you to take molly through the hole in the hedge by the rose garden . kristina will meet you by the east gate . do you need anything from me ? anything at all . kristina : it 's enough having you back . michael : this will all be over soon , okay ? at least for dad 's trial part , but as for the rest , i have a feeling it 's all gon na work out , too . okay ? [ scene_break ] judge : sit down , detective falconeri . i 'll hear from the defense . sonny : whatever you have to say , make it count . diane : your honor , michael is deeply troubled , through no fault of his own . he sustained massive brain injury during an assassination attempt against his father and spent the next year in a coma . he underwent neurological surgery to bring him out of that coma , but the procedure had residual effects , and a once bright , sweet , sunny young boy has now been turned into a dark , withdrawn young man . the one thing that has n't changed is his abiding love for my client . michael would walk into oncoming traffic for his father . judge : i 'm going to interrupt you for a clarification , ms. miller . are you objecting to a development that could exonerate your client ? diane : my client does not wish to go free at the expense of his son , so his story still stands . sonny corinthos killed his wife in defense of carly and josslyn jacks , and any so - called confession by michael is a -- is a well- meaning but misguided eleventh - hour attempt at a save . dante : i 'm sorry , your honor , did everyone miss the part where i said i 've got proof ? judge : you stifle yourself , detective falconeri . this is my courtroom . i make the rules . you do n't come in here like some wild dog into a henhouse doing and saying whatever you want . either you abide by my wishes or i will lock you up and rule any evidence you may offer as fruit of the poisoned tree and toss it . now ... [ bangs gavel ] judge : the honorable judge peter carroll calls you to the stand and admonishes you . this story better damn well be good . [ scene_break ] lucky : nice day to be on the lake . here 's some advice . next time you 're hiding from law enforcement , it 's a lot harder to find fugitives if they stay indoors . [ scene_break ] bailiff : do you swear to tell the truth , the whole truth , and nothing but the truth , so help you god ? dante : i do . bailiff : be seated . judge : okay , detective , you wanted the floor , you got it . be convincing . dante : believe me , your honor , i would n't be on the stand exonerating sonny corinthos on a whim . i built a case against him . i thought it was solid . i felt a sense of pride and accomplishment for finally busting the guy who has been wiping his shoes with the law forever and thumbing his nose at the rest of us . i think sonny deserves to be locked up , but for something he did . and he did n't kill claudia corinthos . michael did . and that poor kid has been living in a world of hell ever since . claire : your honor , i 'm going to have to object . the witness is sermonizing . he has n't produced a single fact or piece of evidence to support this ridiculous accusation . judge : overruled . though i agree , i have n't heard anything so far but a point of view . claire : so why did you overrule -- judge : what happens when i rule , ms. walsh ? claire : subject closed . judge : now you 're getting it . let me make this very clear , just so there 's no room for misunderstanding . detective falconeri is not a prosecution witness , he 's not a defense witness , he 's my witness , and i will question him as i see fit without interference from lawyers . you two got that ? diane : yes , your honor . claire : got it . judge : facts , detective . what happened that made you believe that your accomplished investigation wasted everybody 's time by focusing on the wrong perpetrator ? [ scene_break ] michael : this is private property , you know . the estate is walled , gated . lucky : there are always ways to get in . like over by the rose garden . michael : rose garden ? lucky : yeah , if you climb up the tiger maple , it 's not that hard to make your way over the wall and drop down the other side . michael : emily . when emily and you were kids , you used to spend a lot of time here . lucky : yeah , that i did . michael : and now you 're all grown up . a cop . should n't you , uh , appear at the door with a warrant ? lucky : i have probable cause . yeah , i found a candy wrapper outside the east gate . could have been a burglar with a sweet tooth . michael : smooth . huh . slippery , but smooth . lucky : so what 's the story ? edward hiding you out here ? michael : he does n't know i 'm here . no one ever comes down to the boathouse except for alice once a week to clean it . so far , i have n't seen her . lucky : she 's a juror on your dad 's trial . they 're supposed to be coming back with a verdict anytime . michael : well , i guess i really blew it by letting you find me , did n't i ? lucky : well , that depends on the verdict . michael : look , how did you find out i was here ? lucky : it was just a process of elimination . there 's only a few decent places in this town where you can hide out . you were n't at any of them , and then i realized you are a quartermaine . there lots of places to hide here . michael : so , what happens next ? lucky : i have to take you in . but first , i want you to do something for me . [ scene_break ] dante : through a conversation i had with morgan corinthos , i was able to ascertain that michael was being hidden at the copa del oro resort in the caribbean , a property owned by the defendant . i went down there to serve michael a subpoena , still under the impression that he witnessed his stepmother 's murder . i confronted michael that way . he became angry and called me a smug , stupid cop who was basically obsessed with taking his father down . then he laid it out for me , all the events leading up to claudia 's death . claire : i do n't suppose you got this confession on tape . judge : ms. walsh . claire : your honor , i 'm sorry , but to have to listen to this -- [ gavel bangs ] judge : that just cost you 500 bucks . open that yapper again , you 'll spend the night in jail . go on . dante : to answer the prosecutor 's question , no , i did not get the confession on tape . judge : but you mentioned proof . dante : i did n't believe michael at first , and i told him so . he produced a bloodstained shirt from his backpack . said it was the one he wore the night he killed claudia and that the blood was hers . i brought michael back with me , sequestered him , and dropped the shirt off with forensics to be tested . judge : was it put into evidence ? dante : number 1232sd in the pcpd evidence locker . judge : get that shirt over here . dante : forensics confirmed the blood was claudia 's and the dna was a match to michael . his story matches the evidence and fits the timeline . judge : i 'll be the judge of that , but before i make a decision , i need you to be very specific , detective falconeri . what did michael confess to , exactly ? did he admit to hitting claudia with intent to kill ? [ scene_break ] michael : so , is this a negotiation ? i do something for you , you return the favor , like maybe walk away and pretend you never saw me ? lucky : i ca n't do that . michael : now it 's on the line . i knew you 'd say that . oh , yeah . lucky : i have to turn you in . but i 'd like to hear what really happened that night -- from you . not with carly 's spin or dante 's conflict clouding things . straight­forward , from your perspective . [ scene_break ] dante : when you look back with perspective , it all ties together . michael had been struggling since he came out of the coma . there was neurological damage , he had impulse control issues . i mean , he was a -- an emotional , volatile kid , and that night set him off . i got to admit , it was shocking when sonny went off on claudia the way he did . no one expected it . everything seemed normal . one minute everything was fine and then the next , chaos . claudia had michael 's pregnant mother at gunpoint , she was going into labor , she hauls her out of there , steals her car , goes god knows where . i mean , michael was n't the only one flipping out . [ scene_break ] michael : jax brought me home , my dad showed up , wanted me to stay with him , and they got into this raging fight . you know , i stood there thinking , if i 'd just come forward sooner and said it was claudia who got me shot , none of it would be happening . so , you know , my head felt like it was gon na explode . and that 's when i decided to take off . i did n't know or care where i 'd end up . i mean , canada seemed as good a destination as any , so ... i got in my car and i headed for the border . [ scene_break ] dante : michael 's driving along , he sees the car claudia stole from the metro court . he knows it 's hers because it 's got the valet ticket . but there 's no sign of carly or claudia . [ scene_break ] michael : so i yelled out for my mom . i was -- i was already afraid of what i might find . my mom had a ... a risky pregnancy and we tiptoed around her for months because any stress could cause a stroke , so ... and after everything that just happened , i felt scared for her . [ scene_break ] dante : michael followed a track through the woods to a cabin . at first he was relieved that carly and claudia had found shelter . [ scene_break ] michael : i made my way up to the door and i heard my mom screaming . lucky : does it get hazy from there ? michael : i wish . i remember every second . [ scene_break ] dante : i mean , can you imagine what 's going through this kid 's head ? there 's his mother on the couch , she 'd just given birth , and this madwoman who 'd kidnapped her at gunpoint is about to take off with the baby . [ scene_break ] michael : there was n't much time to think . i just knew i could n't let claudia leave that cabin with my baby sister . so i -- i grabbed the ax handle , and i ran inside and i hit her as hard as i possibly could . and then she just ... crumpled ... so still , blood making a pool under her head . [ scene_break ] dante : michael dropped to his knees beside claudia . that 's how he got her blood on his shirt . [ scene_break ] michael : she was dead . look , i did n't mean to kill claudia , okay ? all i wanted to do was stop her . [ scene_break ] kristina : i still ca n't believe mom sicced the cops on michael . i mean , now he has to hide out in his own hometown . molly : hey , kristina , i hope you 're not gon na feel guilty about that , too . kristina : michael would n't be here if i was n't such a mess . molly : why -- no , michael would n't want you blaming yourself , kristina . he loves you . nothing could have kept him from checking on you because , well , love gives people shining purpose . on the other hand , guilt takes a pound of flesh from everyone . kristina : what moldy old book did you get that from ? [ door opens ] jason : hey , where 's michael ? i know he was here . you need to tell me where he went . kristina : maybe he does n't want to be found . jason : okay , you know what ? i need to get michael out of the country now . kristina : well , michael does n't want to go , and why should n't he be able to make his own choices ? jason : because his choice was taken away . dante already gave him up . kristina : what do you mean ? jason : he walked into court and dante announced it to everybody that michael killed claudia . [ scene_break ] dante : michael says he did n't mean to kill claudia . i believe him . if there had been a proper investigation , law enforcement would have believed him , too . but , see , michael 's parents and his uncle jason do n't trust the system . their brilliant idea was to engineer cover - up . that 's what they do -- lie , conceal , and cover up , so they do n't have to face the consequences of their actions . eventually it looked like sonny was guilty , so they ran with that , told michael to keep his mouth shut . only michael has a conscience . he 's not versed in the many ways that the grownups in his life evade prosecution . he was compelled to confess . he actually came forward , but commissioner scorpio did n't believe him . but he held on to that shirt , the one definitive thing that places him at the scene with blood on his hands . and it speaks volumes ... for the internal struggle that 's a normal day for that kid . yeah , i know my brother 's messed up . how could he not be with these conscienceless people in charge of him ? judge : all right , now you are sermonizing . claire : your honor , may i please speak ? judge : briefly . to me . claire : i would simply caution , your honor , this is about a conflicted cop with conflicted loyalties conspiring with a brain - damaged kid to try to save their dad from going to prison by offering up a more sympathetic killer . judge : i appreciate you looking out for me , counselor , but i wo n't be basing my decision on this matter on anybody 's word . i need to talk to the boy himself . to that end , i 'm issuing a warrant for the arrest of michael corinthos iii for the murder of claudia zacchara corinthos . [ scene_break ] molly : it does n't make sense . dante would n't do something like this . kristina : michael said dante wanted to protect him . he cared about him . jason : yeah , that 's what dante wanted michael to think . come on , you guys know that dante 's an undercover cop , right ? it 's his job to lie to people and get them to trust him . molly : man , if this is true , morgan 's gon na be so bummed . he really looks up to dante . jason : i know he does . all four of you kids , you 're great . you got this bond , you 're brothers and sisters , and you 're nice enough to want to extend that bond to dante , but you got ta remember first and foremost that he is a cop . he 's trying to put sonny in prison , and he 's gon na do what he has to do to make that happen . where 's michael ? kristina : quartermaine boathouse . jason : thank you . molly : this is crazy . dante seems so nice . kristina : that does n't mean anything . lots of people seem nice . they say they care about you , even love you , and they make promises , and then they just turn around and break them with no warning . i trusted dante , too . he helped me through a lot of stuff with kiefer . but now i see that he was just using me . and jason 's right . dante is a liar and a user , and we can never trust him again . [ scene_break ] judge : you can step down , detective , but stay here . there was one other witness to the events that transpired in the cabin that night , a witness , apparently , who perjured herself . mrs. jacks , front and center . let 's swear this witness in again , bailiff . apparently the first time it did n't take . bailiff : do you swear to tell the truth , the whole truth , and nothing but the truth , so help you god ? carly : i do . bailiff : be seated . judge : perjury is a serious offense , mrs. jacks . carly : i 'm aware of that , your honor . judge : good . then i do n't have to explain to you how irritated i get when it happens in my world . this is your only chance to convince me that you 're telling the truth this time , or what you say can and will be held against your son . carly : i understand . judge : then let 's proceed . was your previous account of the events leading up to the death of claudia corinthos true and accurate , or is it your wish to change your story ? carly : i 'd like to change my story . [ scene_break ] lucky : it 's a pretty hellacious night . i 'm sorry you had to go through it . michael : and there was this voice inside of me trying to convince me that i did n't really kill claudia , that she was n't dead . but i knew that she was dead because i had her blood on my hands . and it was still warm . then jason and sam showed up . they took charge , they told me what to do . lucky : i 'm sure in that moment jason 's only thought was protecting you . now , he 's usually a pretty clear thinker , but when someone you love , especially a child you love is at risk , sometimes you just panic . michael : jason does n't panic . lucky : well , he must have that night . because if somebody would have been thinking clearly , they would have called the police . forensics would have backed up your statement and claudia 's death would have gone down as self- defense . but when you 're terrified , all rational thought just goes out the window . you fall back on what you know ; you go with your instincts . a cover - up just becomes automatic . i know this for a fact , because that 's exactly what my father would have done . michael : my dad showed up . he said i did the right thing . that i finally made him proud . [ scene_break ] judge : was your son michael present in the cabin on the night claudia corinthos died ? carly : yes . he drove over with sonny . he was a few steps behind . he walked in right after sonny hit claudia . and michael was understandably shocked . he knelt down next to claudia to see if she was okay . he had no idea she was dead . and that 's how michael got claudia 's blood on his shirt . judge : so the confession that michael gave to detective falconeri , that 's the lie ? carly : you have no idea what my son 's been through . he went out with his father to a coffee warehouse and he was shot . and that 's because of claudia . she hired someone to kill sonny and michael was hit instead , and he spent a year of his life in a coma . when michael woke up , he was n't the same , and that has been very difficult for all of us . michael has not been able to control his impulses ever since . he 's -- he speaks without thinking , he says things he does n't mean . he 's been to counseling , he 's been to therapy , and we have medical records to support this . yes , yes , we wanted to protect michael . we wanted to shield him from this case because we did n't want to put him through this . but michael did n't do anything wrong , and he definitely did not kill claudia zacchara . and what detective falconeri 's motives are for wanting you to think that he did , i can not say . i do n't know . i can only guess that the prosecution is correct in saying that dante wants to use my son to protect sonny , who happens to be his father . and that 's huge for dante . and if you do n't believe that , you 're not as smart as i think you are . judge : that was quite a speech , mrs. jacks . carly : i was just telling you how it happened . judge : is that it , or is there something you 'd like to add ? carly : that 's all . judge : step down . i want michael corinthos ' medical records added to the case file and on my desk for review . this court will be adjourned until such time as michael corinthos can be produced to go on record . ms. miller , your client 's status has n't changed . he 's still the defendant in an ongoing murder trial . the jury is still sequestered and may be called to render their previous verdict or restart deliberations . court is adjourned . jax : carly . diane : well , you 've been just aching to get michael on the stand . looks like you 're gon na get him . classic case of careful what you wish for . where 's jason ? sonny : looking for michael . with any luck he 's found him and put an end to all this madness . [ scene_break ] lucky : growing up should n't be that tough . michael : you know , i do n't even know what that means . lucky : that 's my point . i mean , these should be some of the best times of your life . you 're young , you 're going off to college soon . you should be dreaming about your future , not trying to cover up your past . michael : well , all my parents and jason want to do is protect me . they want me to wake up from this nightmare intact . lucky : are you ? michael : no . no , a piece of me died the night when i went after claudia with an ax handle and killed her . but i have to own that . you know , i have to take responsibility for my actions and live with the consequences . lucky : well , that 's -- that 's the first step . and then the next would probably be making sure that you can wake up every morning , look in the mirror , and live with the guy that 's staring back at you . [ sighs ] michael , i have to turn you in to the court . okay ? but whether you decide to tell the judge that you killed claudia or not ... that 's up to you . [ scene_break ] [ doorbell rings ] ronnie : how you doin ' , kid ? who 's home with you ? morgan : mercedes is upstairs with josslyn . what do you want ? ronnie : i have a search warrant . do you know what that is ? morgan : i 'm not stupid . ronnie : i know . where 's michael ? morgan : i do n't know . backpacking somewhere . ronnie : oh , yeah . i guess you 're gon na tell me that you guys have n't been in touch . it 's okay , morgan . cat 's out of the bag . you do n't have to lie anymore . i know you told dante where michael was , and dante went and got him . and now he told the whole court that it was actually michael who killed claudia and not your dad . morgan : who told the court ? ronnie : dante . morgan : that 's a lie . you 're just making something up so you can get me to say something wrong again . ronnie : no , that 's not it , kid , and it 's true . morgan : shut up ! dante 's our brother . he 'd never do anything to hurt michael . [ scene_break ] johnny : hey , dante . you know , claudia was wrong on many levels , inflicted a lot of damage on a lot of people . and i got ta tell you , one thing she never did was to sell her brother down the river . i hope you 're happy with that fallout . especially the part where sonny walks out of here a free man and , uh , you never get another crack at him again . mayor floyd : are you stupid or just blatantly corrupt ? sonny corinthos has left a trail of ruin that goes back more than a decade . finally , finally he 's about to be stopped , and you blew it . lulu : dante did his duty . mayor floyd : dante just bought himself an internal affairs investigation . [ scene_break ] jax : claire . claire : you knew the whole time , did n't you ? that 's why you did n't want me to get michael 's testimony . you brought me onto this case because you knew the charges for sonny would get dropped . my whole career could get flushed because you lied . why ? why did you do this ? jax : i did it to keep my family safe . claire : oh , yeah ? how 's that working out for you ? [ scene_break ] sonny : carly . what 's wrong ? you were great on the stand . carly : a lot of good that did , sonny . if they find michael and they put him on the stand , he 's gon na tell them everything . you know that , right ? sonny : jason got out of here before the judge issued a warrant . hopefully he 'll find michael , get him out of the country . what 's wrong ? carly : you want to believe that because if i somehow pulled this out , it lessens the damage done by your bastard of a son . [ scene_break ] dante : you sure you want to stick around ? lulu : there 's no way i 'm leaving you . you need me . dante : well , that 's good , because i might need you to watch my back . [ scene_break ] michael : i appreciate you giving me a choice . that 's more than anyone 's done for me in a long time . but , look , i got ta step up . lucky : i admire that . michael : let 's do this . lucky : all right , let 's go . jason : hey , hey , hey ! michael , you 're coming with me . lucky : that 's not gon na happen , jason . jason : lucky , just turn your head and let the kid walk away . lucky : i ca n't do that . jason : then i 'm giving you fair warning . i 'm going to take michael , and there 's nothing you 're gon na do to stop me . let 's go . lucky : now i guess we 're at a stalemate . jason : come on , lucky , you 're not gon na shoot me . lucky : not in any place that would kill you . michael : look , nobody 's getting shot because of me . jason : will you just trust me on this ? will you just let the kid walk away ? lucky : he just told me what really happened to claudia . i ca n't just let him go . but it 's up to him , jason . it 's not up to you . if he wants to make a confession , it goes on the record . jason : on the record ? the court already knows that michael killed claudia . dante walked in the trial and gave michael up .

[ scene_break ] judge : sit down , detective falconeri . i 'll hear from the defense . sonny : whatever you have to say , make it count . diane : your honor , michael is deeply troubled , through no fault of his own . he sustained massive brain injury during an assassination attempt against his father and spent the next year in a coma . he underwent neurological surgery to bring him out of that coma , but the procedure had residual effects , and a once bright , sweet , sunny young boy has now been turned into a dark , withdrawn young man . the one thing that has n't changed is his abiding love for my client . michael would walk into oncoming traffic for his father . judge : i 'm going to interrupt you for a clarification , ms. miller . are you objecting to a development that could exonerate your client ? diane : my client does not wish to go free at the expense of his son , so his story still stands . sonny corinthos killed his wife in defense of carly and josslyn jacks , and any so - called confession by michael is a -- is a well- meaning but misguided eleventh - hour attempt at a save . dante : i 'm sorry , your honor , did everyone miss the part where i said i 've got proof ? judge : you stifle yourself , detective falconeri . this is my courtroom . i make the rules . you do n't come in here like some wild dog into a henhouse doing and saying whatever you want . either you abide by my wishes or i will lock you up and rule any evidence you may offer as fruit of the poisoned tree and toss it . now ...

[ scene_break ] dante : through a conversation i had with morgan corinthos , i was able to ascertain that michael was being hidden at the copa del oro resort in the caribbean , a property owned by the defendant . i went down there to serve michael a subpoena , still under the impression that he witnessed his stepmother 's murder . i confronted michael that way . he became angry and called me a smug , stupid cop who was basically obsessed with taking his father down . then he laid it out for me , all the events leading up to claudia 's death . claire : i do n't suppose you got this confession on tape . judge : ms. walsh . claire : your honor , i 'm sorry , but to have to listen to this -- [ gavel bangs ] judge : that just cost you 500 bucks . open that yapper again , you 'll spend the night in jail . go on . dante : to answer the prosecutor 's question , no , i did not get the confession on tape . judge : but you mentioned proof . dante : i did n't believe michael at first , and i told him so . he produced a bloodstained shirt from his backpack . said it was the one he wore the night he killed claudia and that the blood was hers . i brought michael back with me , sequestered him , and dropped the shirt off with forensics to be tested . judge : was it put into evidence ? dante : number 1232sd in the pcpd evidence locker . judge : get that shirt over here . dante : forensics confirmed the blood was claudia 's and the dna was a match to michael . his story matches the evidence and fits the timeline . judge : i 'll be the judge of that , but before i make a decision , i need you to be very specific , detective falconeri . what did michael confess to , exactly ? did he admit to hitting claudia with intent to kill ? [ scene_break ] michael : so , is this a negotiation ? i do something for you , you return the favor , like maybe walk away and pretend you never saw me ? lucky : i ca n't do that . michael : now it 's on the line . i knew you 'd say that . oh , yeah . lucky : i have to turn you in . but i 'd like to hear what really happened that night -- from you . not with carly 's spin or dante 's conflict clouding things . straight­forward , from your perspective . [ scene_break ] dante : when you look back with perspective , it all ties together . michael had been struggling since he came out of the coma . there was neurological damage , he had impulse control issues . i mean , he was a -- an emotional , volatile kid , and that night set him off . i got to admit , it was shocking when sonny went off on claudia the way he did . no one expected it . everything seemed normal . one minute everything was fine and then the next , chaos . claudia had michael 's pregnant mother at gunpoint , she was going into labor , she hauls her out of there , steals her car , goes god knows where . i mean , michael was n't the only one flipping out . [ scene_break ] michael : jax brought me home , my dad showed up , wanted me to stay with him , and they got into this raging fight . you know , i stood there thinking , if i 'd just come forward sooner and said it was claudia who got me shot , none of it would be happening . so , you know , my head felt like it was gon na explode . and that 's when i decided to take off . i did n't know or care where i 'd end up . i mean , canada seemed as good a destination as any , so ... i got in my car and i headed for the border . [ scene_break ] dante : michael 's driving along , he sees the car claudia stole from the metro court . he knows it 's hers because it 's got the valet ticket . but there 's no sign of carly or claudia . [ scene_break ] michael : so i yelled out for my mom . i was -- i was already afraid of what i might find . my mom had a ... a risky pregnancy and we tiptoed around her for months because any stress could cause a stroke , so ... and after everything that just happened , i felt scared for her . [ scene_break ] dante : michael followed a track through the woods to a cabin . at first he was relieved that carly and claudia had found shelter . [ scene_break ] michael : i made my way up to the door and i heard my mom screaming . lucky : does it get hazy from there ? michael : i wish . i remember every second . [ scene_break ] dante : i mean , can you imagine what 's going through this kid 's head ? there 's his mother on the couch , she 'd just given birth , and this madwoman who 'd kidnapped her at gunpoint is about to take off with the baby . [ scene_break ] michael : there was n't much time to think . i just knew i could n't let claudia leave that cabin with my baby sister . so i -- i grabbed the ax handle , and i ran inside and i hit her as hard as i possibly could . and then she just ... crumpled ... so still , blood making a pool under her head . [ scene_break ] dante : michael dropped to his knees beside claudia . that 's how he got her blood on his shirt . [ scene_break ] michael : she was dead . look , i did n't mean to kill claudia , okay ? all i wanted to do was stop her . [ scene_break ] kristina : i still ca n't believe mom sicced the cops on michael . i mean , now he has to hide out in his own hometown . molly : hey , kristina , i hope you 're not gon na feel guilty about that , too . kristina : michael would n't be here if i was n't such a mess . molly : why -- no , michael would n't want you blaming yourself , kristina . he loves you . nothing could have kept him from checking on you because , well , love gives people shining purpose . on the other hand , guilt takes a pound of flesh from everyone . kristina : what moldy old book did you get that from ? [ door opens ] jason : hey , where 's michael ? i know he was here . you need to tell me where he went . kristina : maybe he does n't want to be found . jason : okay , you know what ? i need to get michael out of the country now . kristina : well , michael does n't want to go , and why should n't he be able to make his own choices ? jason : because his choice was taken away . dante already gave him up . kristina : what do you mean ? jason : he walked into court and dante announced it to everybody that michael killed claudia . [ scene_break ] dante : michael says he did n't mean to kill claudia . i believe him . if there had been a proper investigation , law enforcement would have believed him , too . but , see , michael 's parents and his uncle jason do n't trust the system . their brilliant idea was to engineer cover - up . that 's what they do -- lie , conceal , and cover up , so they do n't have to face the consequences of their actions . eventually it looked like sonny was guilty , so they ran with that , told michael to keep his mouth shut . only michael has a conscience . he 's not versed in the many ways that the grownups in his life evade prosecution . he was compelled to confess . he actually came forward , but commissioner scorpio did n't believe him . but he held on to that shirt , the one definitive thing that places him at the scene with blood on his hands . and it speaks volumes ... for the internal struggle that 's a normal day for that kid . yeah , i know my brother 's messed up . how could he not be with these conscienceless people in charge of him ? judge : all right , now you are sermonizing . claire : your honor , may i please speak ? judge : briefly . to me . claire : i would simply caution , your honor , this is about a conflicted cop with conflicted loyalties conspiring with a brain - damaged kid to try to save their dad from going to prison by offering up a more sympathetic killer . judge : i appreciate you looking out for me , counselor , but i wo n't be basing my decision on this matter on anybody 's word . i need to talk to the boy himself . to that end , i 'm issuing a warrant for the arrest of michael corinthos iii for the murder of claudia zacchara corinthos . [ scene_break ] molly : it does n't make sense . dante would n't do something like this . kristina : michael said dante wanted to protect him . he cared about him . jason : yeah , that 's what dante wanted michael to think . come on , you guys know that dante 's an undercover cop , right ? it 's his job to lie to people and get them to trust him . molly : man , if this is true , morgan 's gon na be so bummed . he really looks up to dante . jason : i know he does . all four of you kids , you 're great . you got this bond , you 're brothers and sisters , and you 're nice enough to want to extend that bond to dante , but you got ta remember first and foremost that he is a cop . he 's trying to put sonny in prison , and he 's gon na do what he has to do to make that happen . where 's michael ? kristina : quartermaine boathouse . jason : thank you . molly : this is crazy . dante seems so nice . kristina : that does n't mean anything . lots of people seem nice . they say they care about you , even love you , and they make promises , and then they just turn around and break them with no warning . i trusted dante , too . he helped me through a lot of stuff with kiefer . but now i see that he was just using me . and jason 's right . dante is a liar and a user , and we can never trust him again . [ scene_break ] judge : you can step down , detective , but stay here . there was one other witness to the events that transpired in the cabin that night , a witness , apparently , who perjured herself . mrs. jacks , front and center . let 's swear this witness in again , bailiff . apparently the first time it did n't take . bailiff : do you swear to tell the truth , the whole truth , and nothing but the truth , so help you god ? carly : i do . bailiff : be seated . judge : perjury is a serious offense , mrs. jacks . carly : i 'm aware of that , your honor . judge : good . then i do n't have to explain to you how irritated i get when it happens in my world . this is your only chance to convince me that you 're telling the truth this time , or what you say can and will be held against your son . carly : i understand . judge : then let 's proceed . was your previous account of the events leading up to the death of claudia corinthos true and accurate , or is it your wish to change your story ? carly : i 'd like to change my story . [ scene_break ] lucky : it 's a pretty hellacious night . i 'm sorry you had to go through it . michael : and there was this voice inside of me trying to convince me that i did n't really kill claudia , that she was n't dead . but i knew that she was dead because i had her blood on my hands . and it was still warm . then jason and sam showed up . they took charge , they told me what to do . lucky : i 'm sure in that moment jason 's only thought was protecting you . now , he 's usually a pretty clear thinker , but when someone you love , especially a child you love is at risk , sometimes you just panic . michael : jason does n't panic . lucky : well , he must have that night . because if somebody would have been thinking clearly , they would have called the police . forensics would have backed up your statement and claudia 's death would have gone down as self- defense . but when you 're terrified , all rational thought just goes out the window . you fall back on what you know ; you go with your instincts . a cover - up just becomes automatic . i know this for a fact , because that 's exactly what my father would have done . michael : my dad showed up . he said i did the right thing . that i finally made him proud . [ scene_break ] judge : was your son michael present in the cabin on the night claudia corinthos died ? carly : yes . he drove over with sonny . he was a few steps behind . he walked in right after sonny hit claudia . and michael was understandably shocked . he knelt down next to claudia to see if she was okay . he had no idea she was dead . and that 's how michael got claudia 's blood on his shirt . judge : so the confession that michael gave to detective falconeri , that 's the lie ? carly : you have no idea what my son 's been through . he went out with his father to a coffee warehouse and he was shot . and that 's because of claudia . she hired someone to kill sonny and michael was hit instead , and he spent a year of his life in a coma . when michael woke up , he was n't the same , and that has been very difficult for all of us . michael has not been able to control his impulses ever since . he 's -- he speaks without thinking , he says things he does n't mean . he 's been to counseling , he 's been to therapy , and we have medical records to support this . yes , yes , we wanted to protect michael . we wanted to shield him from this case because we did n't want to put him through this . but michael did n't do anything wrong , and he definitely did not kill claudia zacchara . and what detective falconeri 's motives are for wanting you to think that he did , i can not say . i do n't know . i can only guess that the prosecution is correct in saying that dante wants to use my son to protect sonny , who happens to be his father . and that 's huge for dante . and if you do n't believe that , you 're not as smart as i think you are . judge : that was quite a speech , mrs. jacks . carly : i was just telling you how it happened . judge : is that it , or is there something you 'd like to add ? carly : that 's all . judge : step down . i want michael corinthos ' medical records added to the case file and on my desk for review . this court will be adjourned until such time as michael corinthos can be produced to go on record . ms. miller , your client 's status has n't changed . he 's still the defendant in an ongoing murder trial . the jury is still sequestered and may be called to render their previous verdict or restart deliberations . court is adjourned . jax : carly . diane : well , you 've been just aching to get michael on the stand . looks like you 're gon na get him . classic case of careful what you wish for . where 's jason ? sonny : looking for michael . with any luck he 's found him and put an end to all this madness . [ scene_break ] lucky : growing up should n't be that tough . michael : you know , i do n't even know what that means . lucky : that 's my point . i mean , these should be some of the best times of your life . you 're young , you 're going off to college soon . you should be dreaming about your future , not trying to cover up your past . michael : well , all my parents and jason want to do is protect me . they want me to wake up from this nightmare intact . lucky : are you ? michael : no . no , a piece of me died the night when i went after claudia with an ax handle and killed her . but i have to own that . you know , i have to take responsibility for my actions and live with the consequences . lucky : well , that 's -- that 's the first step . and then the next would probably be making sure that you can wake up every morning , look in the mirror , and live with the guy that 's staring back at you . [ sighs ] michael , i have to turn you in to the court . okay ? but whether you decide to tell the judge that you killed claudia or not ... that 's up to you . [ scene_break ] [ doorbell rings ] ronnie : how you doin ' , kid ? who 's home with you ? morgan : mercedes is upstairs with josslyn . what do you want ? ronnie : i have a search warrant . do you know what that is ? morgan : i 'm not stupid . ronnie : i know . where 's michael ? morgan : i do n't know . backpacking somewhere . ronnie : oh , yeah . i guess you 're gon na tell me that you guys have n't been in touch . it 's okay , morgan . cat 's out of the bag . you do n't have to lie anymore . i know you told dante where michael was , and dante went and got him . and now he told the whole court that it was actually michael who killed claudia and not your dad . morgan : who told the court ? ronnie : dante . morgan : that 's a lie . you 're just making something up so you can get me to say something wrong again . ronnie : no , that 's not it , kid , and it 's true . morgan : shut up ! dante 's our brother . he 'd never do anything to hurt michael . [ scene_break ] johnny : hey , dante . you know , claudia was wrong on many levels , inflicted a lot of damage on a lot of people . and i got ta tell you , one thing she never did was to sell her brother down the river . i hope you 're happy with that fallout . especially the part where sonny walks out of here a free man and , uh , you never get another crack at him again . mayor floyd : are you stupid or just blatantly corrupt ? sonny corinthos has left a trail of ruin that goes back more than a decade . finally , finally he 's about to be stopped , and you blew it . lulu : dante did his duty . mayor floyd : dante just bought himself an internal affairs investigation . [ scene_break ] jax : claire . claire : you knew the whole time , did n't you ? that 's why you did n't want me to get michael 's testimony . you brought me onto this case because you knew the charges for sonny would get dropped . my whole career could get flushed because you lied . why ? why did you do this ? jax : i did it to keep my family safe . claire : oh , yeah ? how 's that working out for you ?

steve : he was n't here . olivia : no , he said she did not have a baby with her . dante : what about -- what about the -- the -- the kid 's mother -- téa delgado ? did -- did heather talk about her or why -- why she took the kid at all ? olivia : um , did -- did heather say anything about the baby or its mother ? steve : sam morgan . olivia : what ? steve : the baby -- he 's sam morgan 's . olivia : okay . um , dante , i think you better meet us at the hospital . i think maybe steve is -- is worse off than i thought . lulu : hi . maxie : hi . lulu : this is not really a good time . maxie : well , yeah , for me , either , obviously . otherwise , i would n't be calling you , texting you , banging on your door , banging for help . lulu : okay . i 'm gon na call you in an hour . maxie : actually , that 's not okay . this is important . dante : hey , we , uh , got a break in the heather webber case . i got to get to work . lulu : oh . okay . well , lock her up and throw away the key . maxie : bye , dante . guess you do n't need that hour . that must help . lulu : right . so , what 's the emergency ? maxie : it 's spinelli . he 's found his perfect girl , and it 's not me . spinelli : maxie ? um , why -- why did you think that she -- she 'd be in my thoughts ? ellie : simple probability . she 's the last person we saw before we went on our date . so when you mentioned a friend , i just did logical deduction . spinelli : that is a logical conclusion , yes . ellie : although , on second thought , she could n't be the person you were thinking about , as maxie is not a friend and wo n't be until you find yourself involved in a serious relationship , which , of course , you 're not -- yet . spinelli : right . i have not yet met the stated criteria to continue my friendship with maxie . ellie : even so , it was clear that maxie was worried that we might have had sexual relations . it 's obvious maxie still cares about you . spinelli : wait . i 'm sorry . did -- did maxie ask if we had consummated our relationship ? ellie : i 'm not entirely sure if she asked , but the subject definitely came up during girl talk . spinelli : i - i 'm really sorry if she seemed intrusive . ellie : no . no . she was really very nice . although i misunderstood -- if the person you were distracted by was n't maxie , then do you mind if i ask who was ? spinelli : sam . uh , samantha morgan . ellie : oh . spinelli : we had a distressful encounter . ellie : really ? what happened ? spinelli : well , as you know , she 's my business partner in private investigation , and , as such , she is most skilled in the ability to ferret out even the tiniest of morsels of information , and she decided to unleash her skills on me . ellie : she interrogated you ? spinelli : yeah . her estranged husband , jason morgan , wished to impart certain information to her , but they were interrupted . so she tried to coerce that information out of me . ellie : do you know ... the information she was asking about ? spinelli : oh , well , i can only assume that jason was trying to -- to share his suspicion that the infant that died last summer was not sam 's , and it just -- it seemed gratuitously cruel to -- to raise sam 's hopes , only to have them dashed again . ellie : yeah , i really do n't understand how those tests i ran on the tissue samples could have been wrong . spinelli : it 's a mystery to us both . and perhaps i was foolish , but i - i hoped that good news would allow sam and jason to move past their differences and come back together again . jason : i 'm sorry that it 's happening this way . sam : what are they doing to find him ? jason : there are apbs in llanview and port charles , and -- and it 's a kidnapping , so the feds are involved . i talked to steven webber , and he 's gon na let me know if heather tries to make any contact at all . sam : okay , but what if she does n't , jason ? jason : she will . she will . she 's obsessed with her son . sam : then why the hell go after my son ? and i - i do n't understand this other woman -- téa ! why would she let heather anywhere near the baby ? ! jason : after heather escaped from ferncliff , she -- she went to llanview , she approached téa . téa recognized heather as the good samaritan who saved her baby . sam : my baby . jason : yeah , right , right . heather convinced téa to hire her as a nanny . sam : a nanny ? jason , how long has this psycho been working for her ? she 's been around my baby . jason : less than a month . sam : oh , five minutes , five seconds is too long to be around heather . jason : when mcbain saw the baby , he was perfectly healthy . sam : i - i do n't understand . why did n't john say anything ? jason : we were waiting for the dna test so we could prove the baby was yours . mcbain went down to llanview to explain to téa ... but by the time he got there , heather and your son were already gone . todd : if heather webber , the town lunatic , is running off with people 's babies , why are you talking to me ? mcbain : this is important , manning . has heather been in contact with you ? todd : no , not -- not -- not since i had to fire her , because she 's a criminal , and [ clears throat ] the only criminal i want working at my newspaper is me . mcbain : so you have n't heard from her ? todd : no , not since they shipped her off to the loony bin . mcbain : i know you 've been in contact with her . i have proof . duke : you know who i am . luke : i know who you look like -- the late duke lavery -- nightclub owner , alleged mobster -- but he was in port charles when i was n't , so we never met . and then he died . anna : yeah . that 's what i believed , too . luke : anna , you just went through this hell , thinking robin was back from the dead . you 're not gon na do this again , are you ? anna : no , but he -- uh , he -- he explained everything , and it 's a long story . luke : yes . did it include a retina scan , fingerprints , and dental records ? anna : he said things that only duke could know . luke : duke could n't know anything right now . he 's been dead for years . duke : well , apparently not , because here i am standing here , very much alive and well . anna : i know it seems impossible , but it 's true . duke : anna and i have a lot of catching up to do , so , if you do n't mind ... luke : actually , i do . duke : i 've gone to an unbelievable amount of trouble to fight my way back to anna , so whatever it is that spencer wants to say to you , i 'm sure it can wait . luke : what spencer is here to do is unpack . duke : i 'm sorry ? luke : this is my place . well , mine and hers . duke : you live with this man ? anna : yeah . after robin died , i - i decided to stay in port charles so that i could be close to my granddaughter . duke : granddaughter ? you 're a grand -- robin has a daughter ? anna : she does . she 's a lovely little girl called emma , and luke understood how important it was for me to be here , so he gave me the second bedroom . duke : ah . well , i see . so you are roommates . luke : we 're a little more than that . lulu : so , we 're talking about spinelli 's date at the wedding -- ellie ? she 's the emergency ? maxie : i can live with just one date . this is serious . lulu : how serious ? maxie : well , they 're having lunch and looking for birds as we speak . lulu : is that supposed to mean something ? maxie : lulu , this girl speaks spinelli 's language . she 's part of the astronomers club . she actually thinks science is fun . and the fact that spinelli 's taking her on a bird - watching picnic proves that he wants to actually get to know her . it wo n't be long before he 's dragging her to the comic - book store . and i bet you ellie is , like , a huge fan of `` the avengers . `` her favorite character is probably the incredible hulk , just like spinelli . although i could never get into anyone besides mighty thor . that 's just because he was played by that really hot australian actor . lulu : hey , you know what ? you should relax , because she 's not ellie spinelli yet , okay ? ellie spinelli -- it sounds like an ' 80s band . maxie : scritti politti ? lulu : no , like milli vanilli . maxie : why are we even talking about this ? and how could you make a joke about spinelli getting married ? he ca n't get married . lulu : why not ? you did . spinelli : sam and jason were my first true friends . before i met them , i was somewhat lacking in my interpersonal skills . ellie : you too ? i mean , social situations have always been a bit of a challenge for me , as well . spinelli : i find that hard to believe . you 're so charming and easy to be around . ellie : really ? thanks . i feel the same way about you . spinelli : you would not have thought so had you met me before my acquaintance with sam and jason . there 's really no good way to measure the good they 've done for me . i only hope to reciprocate it in some way . ellie : that 's so sweet . it makes it even more peculiar that maxie would n't want to be your friend . spinelli : she -- she does n't ? ellie : she said the last thing she wants is to be friends with you , but i get the feeling -- olivia : hey ! we could use a little help around here ! steve : i 'm fine . olivia : no . your mother knocked you out cold . you could have a concussion . spinelli : wait . i 'm sorry . did you say heather attacked you ? spinelli : one -- one second , okay , spinelli ? are you okay ? olivia : i 'm fine . i 'm fine . heather was already gone by the time i found him on the floor . steve : has there been any sign of her ? dante : no . we got units checking the area outside your apartment . did she say anything at all that would tell you where she might be headed ? steve : sorry . dante : what about téa delgado 's baby ? steve : she would n't tell me where the baby was , and it 's not tea 's son . the baby is sam morgan 's . spinelli : i 'm sorry to interrupt , but this is vital information . did you just say that sam 's baby is -- is alive ? steve : alive and well , and my mother 's known the truth the entire time . mcbain : you went to see heather at ferncliff . and before you deny it ... i have the security - camera footage . todd : i , uh , i stopped by to drop off her severance pay . mcbain : you let heather blackmail you then , and you 're letting her blackmail you all over again . todd : if you think heather is lurking here somewhere , knock yourself out . search my hotel suite . i 'm off to llanview , because i 'm gon na -- well , téa needs somebody to hold her hand , and i 'll just have to do . mcbain : no , you 're not going to comfort téa . you 're going there to weasel your way through some story about how you accidentally put another woman 's baby in her hands ! todd : all i have right now is your word that little victor is n't tea 's baby . mcbain : you ca n't spin this anymore , todd . do n't you get it ? when we find that child , téa is gon na find out the truth about everything , including your involvement in the switching of the babies . do you understand ? ! sam : was john able to tell téa that the bab -- that he 's my son ? jason : no . before mcbain could explain anything at all , he -- he found out that heather and the baby were gone , and he did n't want to tell téa after . she had enough to deal with . sam : oh , no . when téa realizes that the baby is n't hers [ sniffles ] it 's gon na be so hard , jason . what she 's gon na go through is -- jason : she 's gon na feel exactly what you felt that night . sam : i could n't believe that he was gone and i could n't hold him in my arms anymore . [ exhales sharply ] my son is alive . jason , he 's alive . we 've got to find him . we 've got to find heather . jason : we -- we will . we will . i promise . sam : we 've got to find him before it 's too late -- before she hurts him . jason : look , just -- just think what your son has already survived . he 's strong , sam . we 're gon na find him . sam : i ca n't lose him , jason . [ sniffles ] i ca n't lose him again . heather : we are gon na have a wonderful life together . yes , we are . just a few things we need before we go . steven lars would n't help us , but i know someone who can . he might not be too happy to hear from me . our relationship 's been a bit strained . but that does n't mean he wo n't come through . luke : slim and i are -- duke : slim ? luke : that 's what i call her . duke : is that true ? anna : oh , yeah . uh , luke and i are -- we were involved . luke : i like to think of us as in the present tense , despite what happened in switzerland . duke : switzerland ? luke : look , we have a lot to discuss privately , so if you do n't mind postponing your reunion -- since you 've been dead for so many years , i 'm sure a couple of hours is not gon na make any difference . duke : well , actually , spencer , i do mind . maxie : i married matt for a specific reason . lulu : so you would n't have to testify against him . maxie : yes , and spinelli knew that . lulu : and he also knew that matt confessed and offered to end the marriage , which you refused . maxie : whose side are you on here ? lulu : i 'm just being a good friend , and a good friend tells you the truth . maxie : ca n't you massage it a little ? lulu : the point is , you should understand why spinelli would think he should move on . maxie : oh , i understand , in theory . i just did n't expect spinelli to move on with someone who 's so ... perfect for him . i mean , okay , if i were to set spinelli up with someone -- and i would never do that -- i 'd pick ellie . i mean , she 's nerdy but in a cute sort of way . and she 's very enthusiastic . she was talking about this astronomy thing . it had something to do with the planet venus , but she was so excited . she was talking about it like it was a 50 % -off sale of cartullo sling - backs . what are you doing ? lulu : trying to get pregnant . maxie : do n't you need dante for that ? dante : your mother switched sam and tea 's babies during the storm ? steve : it 's the only possible explanation . dante : how does that even happen -- how she got access to these kids ? dr. rashi : what 's going on ? i just heard you were brought in . steve : i 'm okay . dr. rashi : let me take a look . is there an exam room free ? nurse : 3 is clear . dr. rashi : it 's okay . i 'll be quick . i promise . dante : look , i 'm gon na follow up with the search team , see if they got anything on heather . olivia : all right . spinelli : you were right . ellie : so were you . spinelli : the baby that died that night , may he rest in peace , was not sam 's . sam 's baby is alive . this changes everything for jason and sam . sam : [ sniffles ] i ca n't fall apart now . my baby needs me . jason : sam , w - where are you going ? sam : i 've got to get out of here , jason . i have to find my kid . jason : there 's nothing you can do . there 's a lot of people looking for your son . sam : i 'm his mother . i have to do something . jason : where would you even start ? you do n't even know where heather went . sam : maybe i do . mcbain : there 's no hiding from this anymore , todd . tea 's gon na lose her baby -- the child she thought was hers , you know . the one she has cared for and loved for the last four months . she 's paying for your lies all over again , and this time , it 's gon na hurt even worse . todd : i think it 's time for you to leave . mcbain : i thought you wanted me to search the place . todd : do you have a warrant ? mcbain : the next warrant i get is gon na be for your arrest . todd : téa . sam : there 's one person in port charles who would help heather webber . jason : todd manning . sam : you said that he helped her the night in the woods , right ? jason : yeah , well , that 's -- it 's just a theory . we do n't have any proof . sam : jason , it 's obvious that he was blackmailed . i mean , why else would he hire a former mental patient ? jason : probably . sam : yes . probably . it all fits . it makes sense . it explains why todd would crumple up the article on my baby 's death . he knew what he was doing . he knew he had given my baby to téa . that 's why he hired me as an assistant . that 's why he came to the funeral . he felt guilty but not guilty enough to tell me that my baby was alive . jason : it seems like todd would have done almost anything to keep his part in this from coming out . sam : what if he still would ? todd : okay , téa . i know you hate my guts . i still care about you enough to try and make this right . [ cell phone ringing ] todd : uh - oh . who 's this ? heather : hello , todd . todd : heather webber , where the hell are you ? heather : oh , really , todd . we have n't spoken in how long ? are n't you even gon na ask me how i 've been getting along since i left ferncliff ? todd : since you escaped ferncliff . heather : how else was i gon na get out of there ? todd : what the hell were you thinking ? you run off with téa delgado 's kid ? heather : we both know that 's not possible . tea 's baby is dead . i have sam 's kid . todd : if you lay one finger on that kid , i will hunt you down personally . heather : why would i hurt this child ? he 's getting excellent care . he 's such a good baby . yeah . and i 'm gon na show everybody what a wonderful mother i am . todd : did you just say `` mother `` ? heather : yes . everything is as it should be . or it will be , with your help . sam : we 've got to find todd . we 've got to see what he knows about heather . [ knock on door ] mcbain : hi . sam : hi . what are you doing here ? jason : sam knows her son is alive . mcbain : did you explain everything ? jason : yeah , i did . mcbain : it 's a lot to take in . sam : yeah . i just -- i want to find my son . jason : we were just trying to figure out who might know where heather is . mcbain : well , i just got back from manning 's . uh , he still 's a weasel . he 's still not talking . [ cell phone ringing ] jason : spinelli , hey , i 'm glad you called . spinelli : please just listen . i - i have the most incredible information . i have just learned that your suspicion was correct . sam 's baby is alive . jason : i know . i just told sam . mcbain : hey , do n't worry . i 'm going for round 2 on manning , all right ? he knows more than what he 's saying . sam : i know . the whole time i was working for todd , i knew he was hiding something . i just never in a million years would have thought it was this . mcbain : how are you doing with all this ? sam : okay . i mean , i 'm happy . i 'm beyond happy that my son is alive , but ... i 'm terrified that i 'm never gon na see him . mcbain : do n't let yourself think that way , all right ? your little boy 's made it this far . we 're bringing him home to you . sam : jason told me you were the one that got the dna sample . mcbain : i did . sam : so then you saw him . mcbain : i did . sam : he 's big ? he 's healthy ? mcbain : yeah . he 's a beautiful boy . jason : no , no . hold on . heather disappeared with the baby sometime yesterday afternoon , and they 're looking for her in llanview . the theory is she might have tried to come back to port charles . spinelli : well , all is not lost . there 's someone at the hospital who might know just how to find heather . nurse : dr. rashi asked you to wait , steve . he 's ordering more tests . steve : i do n't need more tests . nurse : well , dr. rashi says you do . steve : i 'm a doctor , too . olivia : yeah , and we all know that doctors make the worst patients . steve : i was just trying to explain to her that i 'm fine . olivia : because you think that this nurse is not gon na argue with you , but i can . i 'll take it from here , honey . thank you . nurse : good luck . olivia : yeah . steve : i want to go out and help search for my mother . olivia : that 's tough . we 're gon na wait for the neurological consult , which translates to you sitting here and staying put . steve : any news ? dante : nothing yet . we 're setting up roadblocks . if your mother tries to leave town , we will find her . olivia : you know , i 'm just thinking -- this means i was right . when i saw heather , i - i knew that she was in port charles . maybe we should start taking my visions a little more seriously . lulu : so , we have n't told many people that dante and i are trying to get pregnant . maxie : oh , my gosh ! congratulations ! wait . what happened to the , uh , `` now 's not a good time , i 'm too stressed , i do n't want to get pregnant `` ? lulu : well , that was before you forced me to take a pregnancy test and it turned out positive . maxie : that was a false alarm , right ? lulu : well , the doctor did n't really know . it could have been a bad test or a chemical pregnancy , but , either way , it made us think about having a child and what it would mean and if we want it , and it turns out we do . maxie : i knew it . you guys are gon na make the cutest parents . lulu : well , we 're trying . so i have to record my temperature and , like , write down the stuff that we 're doing in a journal . maxie : oh , wow . and the sitting upside down ? lulu : i just read somewhere that it helps . like , gravity helps , or it ca n't hurt . maxie : and here i thought getting pregnant would be fun . lulu : there are fun parts . maxie : oh , man . you realize you 're glowing , right ? i mean , i - i know that i 'm supposed to happy for your guys , and i am . you and dante are just so in love and perfect for each other , and now you 're gon na be having a family . you know , you used to be as good at relationship sabotage as i am , so how did you manage to pull yourself back from the brink and i never did ? lulu : i take it you have n't told spinelli how you really feel . maxie : i wanted to at the wedding . i wanted to -- to pull him aside and look him in the eye and tell him that i love him , that he 's the one i - i want to spend the rest of my life with , the one i want to build my life with , and that it does n't scare me . the thought of committing myself completely to spinelli -- it does n't scare me . it actually thrills me and excites me . [ sighs ] lulu : you need to tell him this -- the sooner , the better ! maxie : i know . it 's just then he asked ellie to go to the wedding with him , and now they 're on a bird - watching picnic together , and that is important . i do n't care what you say . i just think it 's too late . lulu : if there has been one thing that i have learned , it 's that if two people are meant to be together , it is never too late for them to find their way back to each other . duke : i have gone through hell to fight my way back here to find anna , and i have no intention of leaving . luke : you do n't live here . we do . anna : uh , luke and i -- we have a lot of things that we need to discuss . and i ca n't possibly ask duke to leave , because we -- i have to talk to him . luke : he can wait downstairs in the bar . caroline has a fine wine list . all right . you want to talk in front of the ghost ? i can do that . i did what you asked . i found robert , and i came clean with him . i told him that ethan is my son , not his , and then -- anna : and ? luke : and it came to blows , and holly negotiated a cease - fire . duke : so robert and holly have found their way back to each other ? there 's hope for the rest of us . luke : so i did what i said i was going to do -- i found robert , and i cleared things up with him . now i 'd like to clear things up with you . look , slim , we 've got something here -- something real . and i do n't want to lose it . and i do n't think you do , either . duke : there 's just one problem with that . anna 's my wife . luke : anna did marry duke lavery , but then he died -- twice -- which makes her a widow -- twice -- free to remarry . and she did -- pardon me for this -- not only to robert scorpio , but also to some guy in pine valley . i think his name was -- anna : david . luke : hayward . anna : yes . luke is right . we -- everybody thought that you were dead . duke : of course . i would have expected you to move on with your life , but i 'm not dead . i am here . so therefore all subsequent marriages -- they become null and void . luke : well , if that 's true , you and your attorneys can take it up with city hall . now , if you start the process today , you might be back for christmas dinner . duke : i 'm not leaving until i 've had a private conversation with anna . luke : well , if you 're not leaving and i 'm not leaving -- anna : i 'm leaving . i 'm going back to the police station . luke : wait a minute . you ca n't walk out on us . anna : i am still commissioner of this city , and there are two dangerous criminals on the loose -- heather webber and joe scully jr . so -- luke : we still need to talk . duke : anna , we -- we need to talk . anna : we will talk . i 'll talk to both of you later . maxie : you 're a genius . lulu : i am ? maxie : yes . i do n't know what i was so upset about . i just need to tell spinelli how i feel ... lulu : wait , maxie . maxie : ... if i can find him after his date . i mean , how long does it take to look at birds , anyway ? lulu : just one minute . wait . maxie : for what ? did n't you just say that it 's never too late for people to find their way back to each other again ? lulu : i did , and that 's absolutely true . but if you go to spinelli and tell him everything he 's ever wanted to hear , he might think -- maxie : think what ? that i finally know the truth ? that we belong together ? that he missed me just as much as i miss him , i was just too stubborn to admit it ? that before , i was taking advantage of spinelli , but i would never do that again ? lulu : i know -- i know that you mean that , and you really , really mean that , but he might think that you 're saying all of this stuff because he 's with somebody else . maxie : thanks a lot . lulu : wait . do n't misunderstand . you still need to tell him how you really feel . i just think that you need to bring a little something extra to the table . maxie : like what ? lulu : i do n't know . just something that would get his attention , something that might show him how much you care about him . maxie : it 's a really good idea , but what ? what ? ellie : you have no idea how glad i am those tests i ran were correct . i hated thinking i had made a mistake in the lab . spinelli : i regret that you had to doubt yourself . ellie : well , i was just telling maxie that the lab and the laws of science are so much more reasonable than , well , the outside world . spinelli : in regards to maxie , you said something earlier that puzzled me . ellie : i did . spinelli : yeah . that the last thing that maxie wanted was to be friends with me , but that you had a feeling , and then we got interrupted . ellie : right . of course . what i was gon na say was that i just got the distinct feeling that maxie was -- spinelli : hey , sam , i am so sorry for my subterfuge earlier . i - i wanted to tell you what i knew about the baby , but i - i was afraid that our hopes were unfounded . sam : it 's okay . none of that matters now . jason : we just need to know if heather told steve anything about sam 's baby . spinelli : right . dante : did heather explain why she took this child ? was it for ransom ? sam : whatever it is , i 'll pay . i do n't care what she wants . i just want my son back . steve : my mother is n't after money . dante : well , then , what does she want ? steve : a family . she was talking about the baby like it was her own son . heather : after everything we 've shared , the least you could do is help me and my baby get out of dodge . todd : w - w - what do you mean , your baby ? heather : do n't change the subject . i need passports , and i need money . todd : no , i can not help you disappear with this kid . heather : of course you can . todd : he 's not your child . you ca n't -- you ca n't play god with him . heather : what do you think you were doing out in the woods when you let téa take sam 's baby ? if that 's not playing , i do n't know what is . todd : no , it was your idea to give téa sam 's baby , not mine . heather : that 's not what i 'll tell the cops . todd : are you blackmailing me ? let me tell you something . you blackmail me and steven lars will be behind bars faster than he can change his own socks . heather : steven lars has turned his back on me . i have another child to provide for . todd : this is not your child ! heather : if you do n't get me and my son out of this country ... i 'll be happy to share the details of all of your crimes with anyone who will listen . todd : fine . give me the damn address . heather : i thought you 'd come around to my way of thinking . [ chuckles ] it 's the nite lite motel . room 203 . todd : nite lite hotel . heather : oh , and , todd , i guess i do n't need to tell you , but ... no one else needs to know about this . todd : right . the chill of peppermint . ellie : i 'm so glad the results were correct , and i really hope everything works out with your friends . speaking of , i can finally tell you what i was gon na tell you before . spinelli : oh . yes . please enlighten me . ellie : okay , so , even though maxie said she did n't want to be your friend , i just had the distinct impression that she was protesting too much and she actually really cares about you , and i think maxie misses having you in her life . spinelli : do you think she 's jealous of -- of you dating me ? ellie : to be honest , i guess i had n't even considered that as a possibility . spinelli : well , good , 'cause , uh , it 's not . it 's -- it 's not a possibility . i mean , she could n't be jealous , because she made it crystal clear that she has no romantic interest in me whatsoever . maxie : you 're right . i need to prove to spinelli that i 'm serious about him . but i ca n't do that if i 'm still married to matt . lulu : so , what are you gon na do ? maxie : i do n't know , but i need to talk to matt . spinelli : though it was painful at the time , i 'm really grateful that maxie was honest about her lack of feelings for me , because , if she had n't been , i might not have opened myself up to life 's possibilities . sam : heather wants to keep my son ? steve : i think she 's trying to prove she can be a good mother . jason : well , at least that gives her incentive to take care of the baby . sam : i 'm sorry , but that does n't make me feel any better . steve : there 's another problem -- the baby 's on medication for beta thalassemia . sam : what if my son does n't get his medicine ? steve : find the baby -- before we have to deal with that . heather : time for your medicine . you 're always such a good boy when i give it to you . oh , dear . that was the last dose . mcbain : hey , anna . anna : john . oh . any progress on heather ? mcbain : no , not yet . are you okay ? anna : yeah . luke : like i said , i 'm here to shower , unpack , and get some rest . there 's the door . duke : why do n't you do yourself a favor , spencer , and bow out gracefully ? luke : i do n't do gracefully . it 's not my style . duke : then i suggest you change your style and perhaps just lower your expectations . whatever you thought you had with anna , you no longer have . anna : something came up in my personal life . i ca n't quite wrap my head around it . mcbain : can i help ? anna : yeah . you can keep me focused . i need to work . mcbain : good . all right . let 's start with todd manning , all right ? if my hunch is correct , he 'll lead us right to heather webber . todd : 203 ...

maxie : it 's spinelli . he 's found his perfect girl , and it 's not me . spinelli : maxie ? um , why -- why did you think that she -- she 'd be in my thoughts ? ellie : simple probability . she 's the last person we saw before we went on our date . so when you mentioned a friend , i just did logical deduction . spinelli : that is a logical conclusion , yes . ellie : although , on second thought , she could n't be the person you were thinking about , as maxie is not a friend and wo n't be until you find yourself involved in a serious relationship , which , of course , you 're not -- yet . spinelli : right . i have not yet met the stated criteria to continue my friendship with maxie . ellie : even so , it was clear that maxie was worried that we might have had sexual relations . it 's obvious maxie still cares about you . spinelli : wait . i 'm sorry . did -- did maxie ask if we had consummated our relationship ? ellie : i 'm not entirely sure if she asked , but the subject definitely came up during girl talk . spinelli : i - i 'm really sorry if she seemed intrusive . ellie : no . no . she was really very nice . although i misunderstood -- if the person you were distracted by was n't maxie , then do you mind if i ask who was ? spinelli : sam . uh , samantha morgan . ellie : oh . spinelli : we had a distressful encounter . ellie : really ? what happened ? spinelli : well , as you know , she 's my business partner in private investigation , and , as such , she is most skilled in the ability to ferret out even the tiniest of morsels of information , and she decided to unleash her skills on me . ellie : she interrogated you ? spinelli : yeah . her estranged husband , jason morgan , wished to impart certain information to her , but they were interrupted . so she tried to coerce that information out of me . ellie : do you know ... the information she was asking about ? spinelli : oh , well , i can only assume that jason was trying to -- to share his suspicion that the infant that died last summer was not sam 's , and it just -- it seemed gratuitously cruel to -- to raise sam 's hopes , only to have them dashed again . ellie : yeah , i really do n't understand how those tests i ran on the tissue samples could have been wrong . spinelli : it 's a mystery to us both . and perhaps i was foolish , but i - i hoped that good news would allow sam and jason to move past their differences and come back together again . jason : i 'm sorry that it 's happening this way . sam : what are they doing to find him ? jason : there are apbs in llanview and port charles , and -- and it 's a kidnapping , so the feds are involved . i talked to steven webber , and he 's gon na let me know if heather tries to make any contact at all . sam : okay , but what if she does n't , jason ? jason : she will . she will . she 's obsessed with her son . sam : then why the hell go after my son ? and i - i do n't understand this other woman -- téa ! why would she let heather anywhere near the baby ? ! jason : after heather escaped from ferncliff , she -- she went to llanview , she approached téa . téa recognized heather as the good samaritan who saved her baby . sam : my baby . jason : yeah , right , right . heather convinced téa to hire her as a nanny . sam : a nanny ? jason , how long has this psycho been working for her ? she 's been around my baby . jason : less than a month . sam : oh , five minutes , five seconds is too long to be around heather . jason : when mcbain saw the baby , he was perfectly healthy . sam : i - i do n't understand . why did n't john say anything ? jason : we were waiting for the dna test so we could prove the baby was yours . mcbain went down to llanview to explain to téa ... but by the time he got there , heather and your son were already gone . todd : if heather webber , the town lunatic , is running off with people 's babies , why are you talking to me ? mcbain : this is important , manning . has heather been in contact with you ? todd : no , not -- not -- not since i had to fire her , because she 's a criminal , and [ clears throat ] the only criminal i want working at my newspaper is me . mcbain : so you have n't heard from her ? todd : no , not since they shipped her off to the loony bin . mcbain : i know you 've been in contact with her . i have proof . duke : you know who i am . luke : i know who you look like -- the late duke lavery -- nightclub owner , alleged mobster -- but he was in port charles when i was n't , so we never met . and then he died . anna : yeah . that 's what i believed , too . luke : anna , you just went through this hell , thinking robin was back from the dead . you 're not gon na do this again , are you ? anna : no , but he -- uh , he -- he explained everything , and it 's a long story . luke : yes . did it include a retina scan , fingerprints , and dental records ? anna : he said things that only duke could know . luke : duke could n't know anything right now . he 's been dead for years . duke : well , apparently not , because here i am standing here , very much alive and well . anna : i know it seems impossible , but it 's true . duke : anna and i have a lot of catching up to do , so , if you do n't mind ... luke : actually , i do . duke : i 've gone to an unbelievable amount of trouble to fight my way back to anna , so whatever it is that spencer wants to say to you , i 'm sure it can wait . luke : what spencer is here to do is unpack . duke : i 'm sorry ? luke : this is my place . well , mine and hers . duke : you live with this man ? anna : yeah . after robin died , i - i decided to stay in port charles so that i could be close to my granddaughter . duke : granddaughter ? you 're a grand -- robin has a daughter ? anna : she does . she 's a lovely little girl called emma , and luke understood how important it was for me to be here , so he gave me the second bedroom . duke : ah . well , i see . so you are roommates . luke : we 're a little more than that . lulu : so , we 're talking about spinelli 's date at the wedding -- ellie ? she 's the emergency ? maxie : i can live with just one date . this is serious . lulu : how serious ? maxie : well , they 're having lunch and looking for birds as we speak . lulu : is that supposed to mean something ? maxie : lulu , this girl speaks spinelli 's language . she 's part of the astronomers club . she actually thinks science is fun . and the fact that spinelli 's taking her on a bird - watching picnic proves that he wants to actually get to know her . it wo n't be long before he 's dragging her to the comic - book store . and i bet you ellie is , like , a huge fan of `` the avengers . `` her favorite character is probably the incredible hulk , just like spinelli . although i could never get into anyone besides mighty thor . that 's just because he was played by that really hot australian actor . lulu : hey , you know what ? you should relax , because she 's not ellie spinelli yet , okay ? ellie spinelli -- it sounds like an ' 80s band . maxie : scritti politti ? lulu : no , like milli vanilli . maxie : why are we even talking about this ? and how could you make a joke about spinelli getting married ? he ca n't get married . lulu : why not ? you did . spinelli : sam and jason were my first true friends . before i met them , i was somewhat lacking in my interpersonal skills . ellie : you too ? i mean , social situations have always been a bit of a challenge for me , as well . spinelli : i find that hard to believe . you 're so charming and easy to be around . ellie : really ? thanks . i feel the same way about you . spinelli : you would not have thought so had you met me before my acquaintance with sam and jason . there 's really no good way to measure the good they 've done for me . i only hope to reciprocate it in some way . ellie : that 's so sweet . it makes it even more peculiar that maxie would n't want to be your friend . spinelli : she -- she does n't ? ellie : she said the last thing she wants is to be friends with you , but i get the feeling -- olivia : hey ! we could use a little help around here ! steve : i 'm fine . olivia : no . your mother knocked you out cold . you could have a concussion . spinelli : wait . i 'm sorry . did you say heather attacked you ? spinelli : one -- one second , okay , spinelli ? are you okay ? olivia : i 'm fine . i 'm fine . heather was already gone by the time i found him on the floor . steve : has there been any sign of her ? dante : no . we got units checking the area outside your apartment . did she say anything at all that would tell you where she might be headed ? steve : sorry . dante : what about téa delgado 's baby ? steve : she would n't tell me where the baby was , and it 's not tea 's son . the baby is sam morgan 's . spinelli : i 'm sorry to interrupt , but this is vital information . did you just say that sam 's baby is -- is alive ? steve : alive and well , and my mother 's known the truth the entire time . mcbain : you went to see heather at ferncliff . and before you deny it ... i have the security - camera footage . todd : i , uh , i stopped by to drop off her severance pay . mcbain : you let heather blackmail you then , and you 're letting her blackmail you all over again . todd : if you think heather is lurking here somewhere , knock yourself out . search my hotel suite . i 'm off to llanview , because i 'm gon na -- well , téa needs somebody to hold her hand , and i 'll just have to do . mcbain : no , you 're not going to comfort téa . you 're going there to weasel your way through some story about how you accidentally put another woman 's baby in her hands ! todd : all i have right now is your word that little victor is n't tea 's baby . mcbain : you ca n't spin this anymore , todd . do n't you get it ? when we find that child , téa is gon na find out the truth about everything , including your involvement in the switching of the babies . do you understand ? ! sam : was john able to tell téa that the bab -- that he 's my son ?

[ cell phone ringing ] todd : uh - oh . who 's this ? heather : hello , todd . todd : heather webber , where the hell are you ? heather : oh , really , todd . we have n't spoken in how long ? are n't you even gon na ask me how i 've been getting along since i left ferncliff ? todd : since you escaped ferncliff . heather : how else was i gon na get out of there ? todd : what the hell were you thinking ? you run off with téa delgado 's kid ? heather : we both know that 's not possible . tea 's baby is dead . i have sam 's kid . todd : if you lay one finger on that kid , i will hunt you down personally . heather : why would i hurt this child ? he 's getting excellent care . he 's such a good baby . yeah . and i 'm gon na show everybody what a wonderful mother i am . todd : did you just say `` mother `` ? heather : yes . everything is as it should be . or it will be , with your help . sam : we 've got to find todd . we 've got to see what he knows about heather . [ knock on door ] mcbain : hi . sam : hi . what are you doing here ? jason : sam knows her son is alive . mcbain : did you explain everything ? jason : yeah , i did . mcbain : it 's a lot to take in . sam : yeah . i just -- i want to find my son . jason : we were just trying to figure out who might know where heather is . mcbain : well , i just got back from manning 's . uh , he still 's a weasel . he 's still not talking . [ cell phone ringing ] jason : spinelli , hey , i 'm glad you called . spinelli : please just listen . i - i have the most incredible information . i have just learned that your suspicion was correct . sam 's baby is alive . jason : i know . i just told sam . mcbain : hey , do n't worry . i 'm going for round 2 on manning , all right ? he knows more than what he 's saying . sam : i know . the whole time i was working for todd , i knew he was hiding something . i just never in a million years would have thought it was this . mcbain : how are you doing with all this ? sam : okay . i mean , i 'm happy . i 'm beyond happy that my son is alive , but ... i 'm terrified that i 'm never gon na see him . mcbain : do n't let yourself think that way , all right ? your little boy 's made it this far . we 're bringing him home to you . sam : jason told me you were the one that got the dna sample . mcbain : i did . sam : so then you saw him . mcbain : i did . sam : he 's big ? he 's healthy ? mcbain : yeah . he 's a beautiful boy . jason : no , no . hold on . heather disappeared with the baby sometime yesterday afternoon , and they 're looking for her in llanview . the theory is she might have tried to come back to port charles . spinelli : well , all is not lost . there 's someone at the hospital who might know just how to find heather . nurse : dr. rashi asked you to wait , steve . he 's ordering more tests . steve : i do n't need more tests . nurse : well , dr. rashi says you do . steve : i 'm a doctor , too . olivia : yeah , and we all know that doctors make the worst patients . steve : i was just trying to explain to her that i 'm fine . olivia : because you think that this nurse is not gon na argue with you , but i can . i 'll take it from here , honey . thank you . nurse : good luck . olivia : yeah . steve : i want to go out and help search for my mother . olivia : that 's tough . we 're gon na wait for the neurological consult , which translates to you sitting here and staying put . steve : any news ? dante : nothing yet . we 're setting up roadblocks . if your mother tries to leave town , we will find her . olivia : you know , i 'm just thinking -- this means i was right . when i saw heather , i - i knew that she was in port charles . maybe we should start taking my visions a little more seriously . lulu : so , we have n't told many people that dante and i are trying to get pregnant . maxie : oh , my gosh ! congratulations ! wait . what happened to the , uh , `` now 's not a good time , i 'm too stressed , i do n't want to get pregnant `` ? lulu : well , that was before you forced me to take a pregnancy test and it turned out positive . maxie : that was a false alarm , right ? lulu : well , the doctor did n't really know . it could have been a bad test or a chemical pregnancy , but , either way , it made us think about having a child and what it would mean and if we want it , and it turns out we do . maxie : i knew it . you guys are gon na make the cutest parents . lulu : well , we 're trying . so i have to record my temperature and , like , write down the stuff that we 're doing in a journal . maxie : oh , wow . and the sitting upside down ? lulu : i just read somewhere that it helps . like , gravity helps , or it ca n't hurt . maxie : and here i thought getting pregnant would be fun . lulu : there are fun parts . maxie : oh , man . you realize you 're glowing , right ? i mean , i - i know that i 'm supposed to happy for your guys , and i am . you and dante are just so in love and perfect for each other , and now you 're gon na be having a family . you know , you used to be as good at relationship sabotage as i am , so how did you manage to pull yourself back from the brink and i never did ? lulu : i take it you have n't told spinelli how you really feel . maxie : i wanted to at the wedding . i wanted to -- to pull him aside and look him in the eye and tell him that i love him , that he 's the one i - i want to spend the rest of my life with , the one i want to build my life with , and that it does n't scare me . the thought of committing myself completely to spinelli -- it does n't scare me . it actually thrills me and excites me . [ sighs ] lulu : you need to tell him this -- the sooner , the better ! maxie : i know . it 's just then he asked ellie to go to the wedding with him , and now they 're on a bird - watching picnic together , and that is important . i do n't care what you say . i just think it 's too late . lulu : if there has been one thing that i have learned , it 's that if two people are meant to be together , it is never too late for them to find their way back to each other . duke : i have gone through hell to fight my way back here to find anna , and i have no intention of leaving . luke : you do n't live here . we do . anna : uh , luke and i -- we have a lot of things that we need to discuss . and i ca n't possibly ask duke to leave , because we -- i have to talk to him . luke : he can wait downstairs in the bar . caroline has a fine wine list . all right . you want to talk in front of the ghost ? i can do that . i did what you asked . i found robert , and i came clean with him . i told him that ethan is my son , not his , and then -- anna : and ? luke : and it came to blows , and holly negotiated a cease - fire . duke : so robert and holly have found their way back to each other ? there 's hope for the rest of us . luke : so i did what i said i was going to do -- i found robert , and i cleared things up with him . now i 'd like to clear things up with you . look , slim , we 've got something here -- something real . and i do n't want to lose it . and i do n't think you do , either . duke : there 's just one problem with that . anna 's my wife . luke : anna did marry duke lavery , but then he died -- twice -- which makes her a widow -- twice -- free to remarry . and she did -- pardon me for this -- not only to robert scorpio , but also to some guy in pine valley . i think his name was -- anna : david . luke : hayward . anna : yes . luke is right . we -- everybody thought that you were dead . duke : of course . i would have expected you to move on with your life , but i 'm not dead . i am here . so therefore all subsequent marriages -- they become null and void . luke : well , if that 's true , you and your attorneys can take it up with city hall . now , if you start the process today , you might be back for christmas dinner . duke : i 'm not leaving until i 've had a private conversation with anna . luke : well , if you 're not leaving and i 'm not leaving -- anna : i 'm leaving . i 'm going back to the police station . luke : wait a minute . you ca n't walk out on us . anna : i am still commissioner of this city , and there are two dangerous criminals on the loose -- heather webber and joe scully jr . so -- luke : we still need to talk . duke : anna , we -- we need to talk . anna : we will talk . i 'll talk to both of you later . maxie : you 're a genius . lulu : i am ? maxie : yes . i do n't know what i was so upset about . i just need to tell spinelli how i feel ... lulu : wait , maxie . maxie : ... if i can find him after his date . i mean , how long does it take to look at birds , anyway ? lulu : just one minute . wait . maxie : for what ? did n't you just say that it 's never too late for people to find their way back to each other again ? lulu : i did , and that 's absolutely true . but if you go to spinelli and tell him everything he 's ever wanted to hear , he might think -- maxie : think what ? that i finally know the truth ? that we belong together ? that he missed me just as much as i miss him , i was just too stubborn to admit it ? that before , i was taking advantage of spinelli , but i would never do that again ? lulu : i know -- i know that you mean that , and you really , really mean that , but he might think that you 're saying all of this stuff because he 's with somebody else . maxie : thanks a lot . lulu : wait . do n't misunderstand . you still need to tell him how you really feel . i just think that you need to bring a little something extra to the table . maxie : like what ? lulu : i do n't know . just something that would get his attention , something that might show him how much you care about him . maxie : it 's a really good idea , but what ? what ? ellie : you have no idea how glad i am those tests i ran were correct . i hated thinking i had made a mistake in the lab . spinelli : i regret that you had to doubt yourself . ellie : well , i was just telling maxie that the lab and the laws of science are so much more reasonable than , well , the outside world . spinelli : in regards to maxie , you said something earlier that puzzled me . ellie : i did . spinelli : yeah . that the last thing that maxie wanted was to be friends with me , but that you had a feeling , and then we got interrupted . ellie : right . of course . what i was gon na say was that i just got the distinct feeling that maxie was -- spinelli : hey , sam , i am so sorry for my subterfuge earlier . i - i wanted to tell you what i knew about the baby , but i - i was afraid that our hopes were unfounded . sam : it 's okay . none of that matters now . jason : we just need to know if heather told steve anything about sam 's baby . spinelli : right . dante : did heather explain why she took this child ? was it for ransom ? sam : whatever it is , i 'll pay . i do n't care what she wants . i just want my son back . steve : my mother is n't after money . dante : well , then , what does she want ? steve : a family . she was talking about the baby like it was her own son . heather : after everything we 've shared , the least you could do is help me and my baby get out of dodge . todd : w - w - what do you mean , your baby ? heather : do n't change the subject . i need passports , and i need money . todd : no , i can not help you disappear with this kid . heather : of course you can . todd : he 's not your child . you ca n't -- you ca n't play god with him . heather : what do you think you were doing out in the woods when you let téa take sam 's baby ? if that 's not playing , i do n't know what is . todd : no , it was your idea to give téa sam 's baby , not mine . heather : that 's not what i 'll tell the cops . todd : are you blackmailing me ? let me tell you something . you blackmail me and steven lars will be behind bars faster than he can change his own socks . heather : steven lars has turned his back on me . i have another child to provide for . todd : this is not your child ! heather : if you do n't get me and my son out of this country ... i 'll be happy to share the details of all of your crimes with anyone who will listen . todd : fine . give me the damn address . heather : i thought you 'd come around to my way of thinking .

[ sniffles ] sorry . luke : here . anna : thank you . it 's not fair , you know ? it 's just not fair . she went through so much , and she overcame so much . i mean , starting with her parents and that great mixed - up childhood we gave her . luke : oh , please . you and robert made her strong , self - reliant . she got her brains from both of you , but luckily for her , she only got her looks from you . anna : [ voice breaking ] she was such a beautiful girl . [ sniffles ] she was [ sniffles ] just brilliant , you know ? she was really ... brilliant and [ sniffles ] a little headstrong , but there 's nothing wrong with that , right ? luke : no . nothing . anna : and she dedicated her life to helping others . that 's just ... i mean , that 's what she was doing in the lab . she was trying to help jason . johnny : what is it between you and that guy , all this undying loyalty ? carly : `` that guy 's `` name is jason . he 's my best friend . and he 's always been there for me , and that 's why i have to be there for him . monica : i know that patrick would n't do anything to deliberately hurt jason in that o.r . i just meant that i do n't think his frame of mind is clear to give a post - op assessment . sam : wait a minute . so , you 're saying that -- he said that everything was okay , but he could be wrong ? monica : well , robin managed to synthesize that formula just hours -- hours -- before the surgery . and on paper , the solution looked perfect . sam : perfect -- but , what ? it might not work on jason ? monica : i do n't know , sam . look , as i said before , his vitals are good . he 's responding well . we just have to wait and see . sam : okay . i mean , so , what do you think ? when jason wakes up , he probably should n't be exposed to anything painful or upsetting , right ? monica : i think keeping him calm is to his interest . sam : okay , so , i probably should n't tell him about robin . monica : no , you did exactly the right thing by not mentioning robin to him before the surgery . sam : okay , i just -- i - i do n't want him to relapse . monica : neither do i . and i - i do n't think , uh , jason should know about robin until ... well , until patrick says it 's all right . blair : [ voice breaking ] the police are certain that cole and hope did n't survive ? epiphany : someone from the pcpd will be contacting you to go over the details . blair : hope 's my -- she 's my granddaughter . she was so beautiful . she was so funny . she -- where -- where is starr ? oh , my god . she 's got to be beside herself . i - i - i need -- i need -- i need to go to my daughter . do you know where she is ? epiphany : she 's -- she 's stable . she does n't know . we gave her a sedative , and she has n't woken up yet , okay ? blair : thank you .

hope and cole ? luke : are there any more details about the explosion ? anna : uh , yeah . well , they 've said that it is a culmination of a series of unrelated random mishaps . i do n't even know what that means . i mean , basically , if one thing had happened differently , blah , blah , blah , you know . luke : culmination of random mishaps ? anna : [ chuckles ] luke : oh , that 's nuts , is n't it ? anna : mm - hmm . i ... luke : well , the what - ifs , you ca n't -- you ca n't think about what - if . that will consume you , and it 's a dead end . anna : what if -- what if she had n't been there ? anyway ... luke : do n't do it . anna : yeah . i know . but this is the trouble right now because robert is living in that . he 's consumed by it . luke : robert ? he knows ? anna : yeah . he 's here . i sent for him . you know , he had to come . and that 's why i called you , because i have this feeling that -- that this is gon na drive him to do something really stupid . anthony : i 'm in trouble , john . if you do n't hide me , i 'm a dead man . dante : where 's anthony ? tracy : what are you doing here ? you 're trespassing . dante : your husband , mrs. zacchara , is he still missing ? tracy : i do n't keep tabs on him . dante : no , but you care about him enough to lie for him , right ? tracy : wow . i 'm having the strangest sense of déja vu . oh , that 's right . it was you last night here asking the same questions . dante : yeah . yeah . you were completely unhelpful then , too . tracy : [ chuckles ] which begs the question -- why waste both our time by coming back ? dante : two more innocent people just died because of your husband . have i got your attention now , tracy ? let 's try this again . where is anthony ? anthony : sonny showed up at the quartermaines ' last night . he was out for blood . he was gon na whack me point - blank , but tracy stepped in . johnny : well , i got to say i 'm surprised , considering you blackmailed her into marrying you . anthony : my wife cares , john . johnny : either that or she knows you left a copy of the evidence you have against her with your lawyer in case something happens to you . i know how you are with insurance policies . anthony : tracy was not gon na let corinthos kill me in her living room . i mean , that man has no subtlety , no finesse . i tell you , if jason morgan had been up and around , i would be dead right now . he -- he would have at least had the sense to take me out with a long - range rifle . i do n't know . i - i guess i 'm lucky sonny chose the direct approach . johnny : well , i guess who can blame him , right ? you tried to kill his son for the second time . anthony : i did n't try to kill corinthos or his cop son last night . scout 's honor . johnny : you tried to kill him last summer . what 's to say you did n't finish the job tonight ? anthony : that shot that i took at dante was for you , john , to save your ass ! johnny : you were upset because sonny told the entire world about your arrangement with claudia and how you 're actually my grandfather , so you were upset . you wanted to get back at him . why not kill his son ? anthony : believe me , if dante had died last night , it would have been exactly what sonny deserved , but i swear to you , i did not shoot ! johnny : really ? and -- and he believed your proclamations of innocence ? anthony : it 's like he stopped being a father and started being a businessman , and i saw it happen . sonny got cold . and i knew i had to get the hell out of town . he got the jump on me , ambushed me on my way to the airport . johnny : how 'd you survive ? anthony : maybe fate does n't want me dead yet . i - i mean , that 's the only way to explain it . sonny 's a hell of a shot . he took out both my rear tires as i was on that windy stretch of the 115 right over the canyon . my car spun away from the edge , and if it had n't , i 'd be a crispy critter at the bottom of the ravine ! johnny : and you 're sure it was sonny ? you -- you saw him pull the trigger ? anthony : sonny was hands - on last night . he was n't gon na hire some goombah to do the job . he wanted to kill me himself . kate : i know it seemed like i was asking you to choose between me and your children , and that was never my intention . sonny : i do n't want to talk about anthony right now . but i do -- i do think we should talk about my children , because every -- every time -- every time i mention their name or their mother or you 're around them , you -- you -- you react all cold . kate : because i do n't want to be intrusive , sonny . sonny : i know you think you -- you 're on the outside because you and i never -- kate : i am on the outside . i 'm on the outside . all of your children and the many mothers , they form a unit . i 'm not a part of that unit . sonny : i do n't want you to think that i care about my kids more than you . but it 's different . it 's -- it 's -- it 's a different kind of love , a different kind of caring . look at me . what i -- what i feel for you is strong . it 's so strong , that -- that -- that it scares me sometimes . kate : [ voice breaking ] yes . right . fear is very scary . it -- it clouds your judgment , distorts your perspective , poisons every fact of your life , and you try to rationalize with it . and so you try to run from it , but you have to face it or it never goes away . and sometimes , it never , ever goes away . sonny : we can -- we can deal with -- hey . hey . kate : what ? it 's stupid . sonny : we can deal with the fear , okay ? all we have to do is think of last night for what it is , just -- just ... a moment , very difficult moment in our lives that we survived . we can just put it behind us . michael : she woke up once . i did n't -- i did n't tell her anything . the , uh -- the doctors put her back to sleep pretty quick . i - i do n't know how much she 'll remember . blair : i appreciate everything that you 've done , really . thank you . michael : again , i wish i could have done more , uh , mrs. manning . blair : it 's , um , it 's cramer . um , blair cramer . michael : look , i 'm -- i 'm glad you 're here . it just ... it would n't have felt right , you know , for me to tell her . [ monitor beeping ] blair : maybe it 'll be easier if she hears it from me . michael : look , i - i only spoke to your daughter once when i first got to the accident . and she was so focused on saving her family . she seemed ... really brave . blair : you have no idea . you ... you have no idea how brave my little girl is . oh , god , girl , you 're gon na have to be so brave right now . but i 'm here for you . and you 're gon na get through it , okay ? you 're gon na get through it . [ lane ] your anti - wrinkle cream is gone . anna : mac tried to stop him , and i - i told him that this is n't the way for him to remember his daughter . but he insisted , and he went in , and he locked the door , and then whatever he saw in there , you can imagine ... he took off . he never said a word , and , you know , i - i do n't know where he is . luke : he 's going to need some time , anna . anna : yeah , look . he sent me this text . wait a minute . here . here . [ sniffles ] luke : `` i 'm sorry . i ca n't do this . i love you . good - bye . `` anna : `` good - bye . `` i think we need to find him . blair : um , can you tell me anything more about this accident ? michael : well , when the car started to slip , i , uh ... [ sighs ] i grabbed onto it . i tried to use all of my weight to pull it back , but ... it was -- it just fell . blair : and hope and cole ... d - did she say anything what -- what , you know , maybe what caused the accident ? michael : another car swerved into her lane . we -- we found another car spun out on the side of the road when we got there . blair : well , where 's the driver ? tracy : i have n't seen him ! but if he was bleeding when he lost control of the car , does that mean that somebody shot him ? dante : maybe . tracy : so , why are you questioning me ? why are you treating anthony like a suspect ? dante : well , because we 're gon na be treating this as vehicular homicide . tracy : really ? so , go after the person that shot him -- your father ! sonny : we are a lot alike . listen to me , okay ? life is too short . look what just happened to robin . whatever time we got left ... i want to spend it with you . [ monitor beeping ] carly : hey . did they , uh , say when he was gon na wake up ? sam : no . no . not -- not for a while . you should , um , you should probably go . carly : well , i just wanted to sit with him , you know . i came as soon as i heard about robin . sam : you need to go . now . carly : is he okay ? did the drug robin make for him work ? sam : we do n't know yet . patrick pulled off an incredibly dangerous procedure . carly : before or after robin died ? sam : if you want to talk about this , we can go out into the hall , carly . carly : what the hell happened , sam ? sam : so far , everything looks good . the doctors are dealing with a lot of variables . we 're not gon na know for quite some time . carly : so , all we can do is wait ? sam : [ chuckles ] oh , no . you are not gon na wait anywhere near him . i 'm not gon na risk you upsetting him . carly : what are you talking about ? i 'm here to support jason . sam : well , then , why do n't you put him first for once instead of dumping all your problems on him again , like you did before the last surgery ? coming in here , getting him all upset over michael two minutes before he got his head cut open . carly : that 's not what happened . and jason was fine with that . sam : i was not fine with it , carly . i 'm not gon na let you pull this crap again . kate : life 's too short . i 'm sorry . sonny : for what ? kate : [ voice breaking ] i 'm sorry for -- for sleeping with you and then expressing all these concerns and questions . sonny : hey , hey , hey , hey , hey . you were just being honest . kate : you know , olivia would have another name for that . sonny : forget olivia , okay ? she can keep her opinions to herself . this is about you , me , and nobody else . we just got to keep everything out in the open , put everything on the table -- hopes , fears -- kate : hearts . hearts . sonny : i 'm all in . kate : me too . johnny : so , you got off pretty easy , all things considered . anthony : you ai n't kidding . [ winces ] the others were n't so lucky . johnny : the others ? starr : no ! you need to help me get cole and hope out . they 're my entire life ! please ! do n't you have any children ? anthony : a son . starr : what if your son was locked in that car ? [ vehicle approaches ] anthony : that 's corinthos . i 'm out of here . starr : no , no ! please ! no ! anthony : n - nothing . i 'm just glad i made it . michael : i - i never saw the driver . the car was empty when we got there . blair : well , did -- did starr tell you anything ? michael : no , she was just focused on getting her family out of the car . blair : obviously , the driver was fine because he was able to walk away . i mean , a - are the police at least looking for him ? michael : they know who it is . um , they found the car 's registration . blair : h - have they arrested him ? i mean , does he have an explanation for killing my granddaughter ? ! michael : his name is anthony zacchara . okay . the cops have n't been able to find him yet . dante : we have n't identified sonny as the shooter . tracy : he showed up here last night gun in hand ready to shoot anthony . fortunately , i was able to stop him . dante : wow . nice of you to tell me that now , tracy . tracy : sonny killed those two people , and you know it . dante : actually , i - i 'm doing this by the book , so i 'm compiling a list of suspects and witnesses , and anthony fits both those categories . tracy : uh - huh . and sonny took a bullet for you , so now you 're gon na return the favor by covering for him . dante : actually , the only person who 's committed a crime here so far is your husband for fleeing the scene of an accident . and if you are covering for him , we 'll just get you for aiding and abetting . tracy : you know what ? if you do n't have a warrant , you need to get out . dante : [ chuckles ] tracy : go ! [ sighs ] edward : oh , what a glorious morning . there 's not a cloud in the sky . tracy : [ sighs ] are n't you cheerful . edward : [ chuckles ] it 's a beautiful day in the neighborhood . your gangster husband has fled the country , and luke has n't been seen in quite awhile , and nothing can change my mood today . carly : wow . did you forget what happened in hawaii ? sam : [ scoffs ] carly : you are so incredibly insecure , you have no idea what 's going on . i 'm here for jason . he needs me . i 'm his friend . sam : there is too much at stake , and i will act in jason 's best interest . you will either leave under your own power ... or i will have security throw you out . [ monitor beeping ] carly : you know jason would want me here . he has to be devastated about robin . sam : he does n't know . carly : what ? sam : i have n't told him about robin , and i will not tell him until i think it 's okay . carly : that is the stupidest thing i 've ever heard . glad that one 's over . yeah , i know what you mean . edward : w - w - why are you insisting that i sit down ? tracy : because there 's something you need to know , and i want you to hear it from me before you read it in the paper . edward : oh , god . what have you done now , tracy ? has elq stock gone south ? what ? tracy : there 's been an accident at the hospital . edward : oh , god . bad ? tracy : one fatality . edward : a - a - anyone we know ? tracy : robin scorpio . edward : how ? tracy : she apparently was trapped in the lab when it exploded . edward : oh , god . no . damn it ! no . tracy : i 'm sorry , daddy . luke : anna , robert 's in a world of pain . well , you both are , obviously . but i - it does n't necessarily mean that you need to panic . we 're talking about a man here who 's seen and done everything , all kinds of terrible situations . anna : not the death of his daughter . robin was the best part of us . she was the only thing that we ever got right . luke : well , i would n't go that far . anna : yeah . i would . and robert , he was the master of the last - minute rescue , you know ? he was always in the right place at the right time . i think he feels like he should have saved her , you know ? luke : well , that does n't mean that he 's gon na do something to himself necessarily . anna : you did n't see the look on his face after he saw his daughter 's body . luke : you 're sure you 're not overreacting ? anna : well , i do n't know . maybe . mac saw it , too , you know ? we both tried to stop him , but it was like he could n't hear us . luke ... you were his friend for so many years . where would he go ? luke : i have an idea . i might know . anna : okay . luke : i 'll find him . i 'll find him . anna : all right . carly : do you know the history between jason and robin ? how the hell could you not tell him ? sam : because jason 's condition was getting worse . any stress would have triggered a fatal seizure , so i made the decision as his wife not to tell him about robin before the procedure . carly : okay , okay . i get why you did n't tell him before . but as soon as he wakes up , you 're gon na have to tell him . sam : no , not until the doctors tell me it 's okay . carly : sam , do you hear yourself ? do you even know the man that you 're married to ? jason hates being handled . he hates being told what he can not and can do . you -- i 'm telling him as soon as he wakes up . sam : no , you are not . this is exactly why i am not letting you back in there to see him . sonny : why do n't we , uh , go back to my place , right ? [ sighs ] i 'll cook some dinner . you can have a glass of merlot , and we can just be together . kate : did you check on jason in the hospital ? sonny : uh , no . they told me that they would call me if anything changes . kate : all right . well , look , i would love to go with you right now , but i have to make some phone calls . sonny : yeah . kate : i obviously have to clean up a little bit . sonny : see you later , beautiful . kate : see you later , gorgeous . sonny : mm . all right . bye . kate : bye . [ sighs ] ca n't let you do this , kate . carly : so , you 're just gon na lie to his face ? sam : i 'm gon na protect him until i think he 's safe . monica agrees with me . carly : monica ? oh , gosh , yeah . monica . we all know how well she understands jason . how about not at all ? sam , jason loves you . do n't screw this up . he needs to know . he will never forgive you for not telling him . sam : i do n't care , carly . what ? so ? i would rather have jason pissed and alive than dead . carly : and jason would rather die than be treated like some incompetent who ca n't manage his own life . sam : i - i do n't know why you ca n't seem to wrap your selfish , little brain around this . i get to make the decisions , not you . carly : you do n't know him . sam : if you think you 're gon na go in there and shoot your mouth off , you 're gon na wind up killing him . it 's not gon na happen . carly : you ca n't stop me from seeing him . sam : i can stop you . i am his wife now , carly . i have rights . and if you think you 're gon na go anywhere near him , you 're insane . carly : you try and stop me . sam : i will notify the hospital that you are banned from his room , and i will post security outside this door if i have to . carly : you can put security anywhere you want , but i will make sure jason gets what he needs . blair : okay . you said that your brother is a cop , right ? so what in the hell are they doing to bring in this zacchara guy ? michael : they have an apb out on him right now . they want to bring him in for questioning . blair : questioning ? he killed two people . he should be -- have a warrant out for his arrest . michael : the cops ca n't be sure it was his fault . blair : well , who the hell 's fault would it be , then ? [ monitor beeping ] what is it that you are n't telling me ? starr : mom ? blair : hey . mom 's here . it 's gon na be all right . starr : what happened ? where are cole and hope ? anthony : i knew when sonny realized my car did n't go off the cliff , he 'd be back to finish the job . i had nowhere else to go , john , no one else i knew who could handle the situation . johnny : all right , well , you can stay here just for a little bit . anthony : i knew i could count on you , son . johnny : do n't read too much into that , please . anthony : good enough . i appreciate it . thank you . [ sighs ] i 'm gon na go take a load off . been a long time since i had to walk that far . [ knock on door ] kate : what 's the matter , johnny boy ? cat got your tongue ? dante : hello ? kate ? hello ? kate ? anybody here ? maxie ? [ door closes ] carly : jason would want to see me . epiphany : jason ca n't let us know that right now , and sam is his wife . if she says you 're banned , then you 're banned . carly : are you kidding me ? after all the money i 've given this hospital , all the charity benefits i 've thrown at my hotel , i ca n't get in to see my best friend ? epiphany : you keep on giving me grief about this and i 'll make sure that the ban expands to the entire hospital . your call . carly : [ sighs ] sonny : everything okay ? carly : i do n't know . sam banned me . i - i got in for a few minutes , and he seemed to be okay . sonny : is jason awake ? carly : not yet . but the procedure went well , so ... we 'll see . hope she was telling me the truth . sonny : why do n't we -- i was just gon na say `` why do n't we ask robin ? `` 'cause i expect to see her , you know . she -- she saved jason 's life , you know . carly : i know . sonny : [ groans ] [ monitor beeping ] sam : please understand . i could n't tell you . [ sniffles ] we ca n't lose you . edward : why is it that the bright , meaningful lives are cut short and t - they take the good ones and -- and they leave people like sonny corinthos here to go ahead and make people miserable and create more chaos ? and yet they take robin . tracy : daddy , you know life is n't fair . edward : it sure the hell is n't . you know , this world needs more people like robin , and -- and yet they take her . well ... you 're -- you 're with the angels now , my -- my sweet , little robin , and my lila .

[ knock on door ] carly : shawn ? luke : i know , anna . i 'm so sorry . anna : i ca n't believe she 's gone . carly : how does a hospital lab just blow up ? do n't they have safety precautions for that ? johnny : did n't the reporter say it was a gas leak ? carly : i do n't know . oh , my god . do you know what she was doing in that lab ? she was looking for a cure for jason . johnny : you gon na be okay ? carly : yeah . yeah . i 'm fine . i just , uh ... it 's sad . it 's awful . i - i ca n't believe this . johnny : i thought you and robin did n't get along . carly : we could n't stand each other . but jason loved her . sam : can you just tell me what 's going on ? monica : well , the preliminary scans are good . the cerebral edema has abated , and his vitals are excellent . sam : why do n't you look happier ? monica : well , the -- the site of the injection is so very delicate and very difficult to reach . sam : yeah , but patrick said that it went well . monica : [ sighs ] sam , patrick had just lost his wife . sam : yeah , i know , and he thinks that robin died because of jason . is -- is there any way that you think he could have botched the surgery on purpose ? sonny : hey . for a second there , you had me scared . i thought i 'd lost you . kate . kate : hmm ? sonny : we are back together now , right ? michael : the doctors say you -- you 're gon na wake up soon and you 're gon na have a lot of questions . but i - i ... i do n't think i should be the one to tell you that your boyfriend and your little girl are gone . [ monitor beeping ] blair : excuse me . i 'm looking for a patient . it 's my daughter . starr manning . epiphany : your daughter was brought in last night . blair : well , where -- where is she ? i mean , how badly was she hurt ? epiphany : well , she 's stable . um , but we 're waiting for the results of her scans . blair : t - the person that called me and contacted me said that there had been a - a car accident . epiphany : yes , she was found and brought in by a bystander . blair : okay . but she was n't traveling alone . she was traveling with her -- her boyfriend and her baby girl . i mean , where are they ? where -- where are hope and -- and cole ? michael : if my dad had anything to do with this ... if he shot out the other car 's tires ... [ sighs ] ... then he 's the reason that your family 's gone . kate : when i 'm with you in your arms , it 's easy for me to forget all the ways that -- that life is against us , all the reasons why we should n't be together , all the pain that we 've already caused each other . sonny : what about all the good that we 've done to each other ? kate : the good -- the good does n't ever last , sonny . and i realize i - i 've asked you to invest in this , and i ca n't change the rules this late in the game , but i do n't know if i can continue going this way that we are . sonny : okay , when you pulled that dress out , you -- you -- you said it was a reminder of all the terrible things or -- or , you know , everything that i caused you , right ? kate : it 's impossible to forget , with or without this dress . sonny : i do n't want you to forget , but i do n't want you to pretend that -- that it never happened . i just do n't want you to live there . kate : someone once said `` those who do n't learn from their pasts are doomed to repeat them . `` and , you know , we fit that perfectly . sonny : every time that i do -- do something you do n't agree with or every time you doubt me , i do n't want you pulling out that dress , reliving that terrible , painful day in our life . because y - y - you do that , it 's always gon na be the three of us . kate : what do you mean , `` three of us `` ? sonny : you , me , and the woman wearing that dress . anna : thank you for coming . [ sniffles ] i 'm so , um -- i just feel terrible . i do n't know . i 'm just in shock , you know ? [ sighs ] luke : i wish there were words . but , of course , there are n't . there 's nothing i can say . it 's so painful . but the only way through it is to lean on those who love you and see if they ca n't help . anna : thank you . it 's just so overwhelming , you know ? i , um ... i - i ca n't ... [ sniffles ] sorry . luke : here . anna : thank you . it 's not fair , you know ? it 's just not fair . she went through so much , and she overcame so much . i mean , starting with her parents and that great mixed - up childhood we gave her . luke : oh , please . you and robert made her strong , self - reliant . she got her brains from both of you , but luckily for her , she only got her looks from you . anna : [ voice breaking ] she was such a beautiful girl . [ sniffles ] she was [ sniffles ] just brilliant , you know ? she was really ... brilliant and [ sniffles ] a little headstrong , but there 's nothing wrong with that , right ? luke : no . nothing . anna : and she dedicated her life to helping others . that 's just ... i mean , that 's what she was doing in the lab . she was trying to help jason . johnny : what is it between you and that guy , all this undying loyalty ? carly : `` that guy 's `` name is jason . he 's my best friend . and he 's always been there for me , and that 's why i have to be there for him . monica : i know that patrick would n't do anything to deliberately hurt jason in that o.r . i just meant that i do n't think his frame of mind is clear to give a post - op assessment . sam : wait a minute . so , you 're saying that -- he said that everything was okay , but he could be wrong ? monica : well , robin managed to synthesize that formula just hours -- hours -- before the surgery . and on paper , the solution looked perfect . sam : perfect -- but , what ? it might not work on jason ? monica : i do n't know , sam . look , as i said before , his vitals are good . he 's responding well . we just have to wait and see . sam : okay . i mean , so , what do you think ? when jason wakes up , he probably should n't be exposed to anything painful or upsetting , right ? monica : i think keeping him calm is to his interest . sam : okay , so , i probably should n't tell him about robin . monica : no , you did exactly the right thing by not mentioning robin to him before the surgery . sam : okay , i just -- i - i do n't want him to relapse . monica : neither do i . and i - i do n't think , uh , jason should know about robin until ... well , until patrick says it 's all right . blair : [ voice breaking ] the police are certain that cole and hope did n't survive ? epiphany : someone from the pcpd will be contacting you to go over the details . blair : hope 's my -- she 's my granddaughter . she was so beautiful . she was so funny . she -- where -- where is starr ? oh , my god . she 's got to be beside herself . i - i - i need -- i need -- i need to go to my daughter . do you know where she is ? epiphany : she 's -- she 's stable . she does n't know . we gave her a sedative , and she has n't woken up yet , okay ? blair : thank you . [ monitor beeping ] baby . oh , baby . it 's gon na be okay . mama 's here . michael : so , you 're -- you 're -- you 're her mom ? blair : yes . [ sniffles ] who are you ? michael : uh , i 'm michael corinthos . i - i brought your daughter to the hospital . blair : so you -- you saw the accident ? michael : no . no . me and my brother got there , uh , after . i think their car lost control , and it plowed through a - a guardrail . blair : [ sighs ] michael : and , uh , the passenger side was hanging over the edge of a cliff , and i - i do n't know how starr got out . blair : w - w - what about hope ? hope and cole ? luke : are there any more details about the explosion ? anna : uh , yeah . well , they 've said that it is a culmination of a series of unrelated random mishaps . i do n't even know what that means . i mean , basically , if one thing had happened differently , blah , blah , blah , you know . luke : culmination of random mishaps ? anna : [ chuckles ] luke : oh , that 's nuts , is n't it ? anna : mm - hmm . i ... luke : well , the what - ifs , you ca n't -- you ca n't think about what - if . that will consume you , and it 's a dead end . anna : what if -- what if she had n't been there ? anyway ... luke : do n't do it . anna : yeah . i know . but this is the trouble right now because robert is living in that . he 's consumed by it . luke : robert ? he knows ? anna : yeah . he 's here . i sent for him . you know , he had to come . and that 's why i called you , because i have this feeling that -- that this is gon na drive him to do something really stupid . anthony : i 'm in trouble , john . if you do n't hide me , i 'm a dead man . dante : where 's anthony ? tracy : what are you doing here ? you 're trespassing . dante : your husband , mrs. zacchara , is he still missing ? tracy : i do n't keep tabs on him . dante : no , but you care about him enough to lie for him , right ? tracy : wow . i 'm having the strangest sense of déja vu . oh , that 's right . it was you last night here asking the same questions . dante : yeah . yeah . you were completely unhelpful then , too . tracy : [ chuckles ] which begs the question -- why waste both our time by coming back ? dante : two more innocent people just died because of your husband . have i got your attention now , tracy ? let 's try this again . where is anthony ? anthony : sonny showed up at the quartermaines ' last night . he was out for blood . he was gon na whack me point - blank , but tracy stepped in . johnny : well , i got to say i 'm surprised , considering you blackmailed her into marrying you . anthony : my wife cares , john . johnny : either that or she knows you left a copy of the evidence you have against her with your lawyer in case something happens to you . i know how you are with insurance policies . anthony : tracy was not gon na let corinthos kill me in her living room . i mean , that man has no subtlety , no finesse . i tell you , if jason morgan had been up and around , i would be dead right now . he -- he would have at least had the sense to take me out with a long - range rifle . i do n't know . i - i guess i 'm lucky sonny chose the direct approach . johnny : well , i guess who can blame him , right ? you tried to kill his son for the second time . anthony : i did n't try to kill corinthos or his cop son last night . scout 's honor . johnny : you tried to kill him last summer . what 's to say you did n't finish the job tonight ? anthony : that shot that i took at dante was for you , john , to save your ass ! johnny : you were upset because sonny told the entire world about your arrangement with claudia and how you 're actually my grandfather , so you were upset . you wanted to get back at him . why not kill his son ? anthony : believe me , if dante had died last night , it would have been exactly what sonny deserved , but i swear to you , i did not shoot ! johnny : really ? and -- and he believed your proclamations of innocence ? anthony : it 's like he stopped being a father and started being a businessman , and i saw it happen . sonny got cold . and i knew i had to get the hell out of town . he got the jump on me , ambushed me on my way to the airport . johnny : how 'd you survive ? anthony : maybe fate does n't want me dead yet . i - i mean , that 's the only way to explain it . sonny 's a hell of a shot . he took out both my rear tires as i was on that windy stretch of the 115 right over the canyon . my car spun away from the edge , and if it had n't , i 'd be a crispy critter at the bottom of the ravine ! johnny : and you 're sure it was sonny ? you -- you saw him pull the trigger ? anthony : sonny was hands - on last night . he was n't gon na hire some goombah to do the job . he wanted to kill me himself . kate : i know it seemed like i was asking you to choose between me and your children , and that was never my intention . sonny : i do n't want to talk about anthony right now . but i do -- i do think we should talk about my children , because every -- every time -- every time i mention their name or their mother or you 're around them , you -- you -- you react all cold . kate : because i do n't want to be intrusive , sonny . sonny : i know you think you -- you 're on the outside because you and i never -- kate : i am on the outside . i 'm on the outside . all of your children and the many mothers , they form a unit . i 'm not a part of that unit . sonny : i do n't want you to think that i care about my kids more than you . but it 's different . it 's -- it 's -- it 's a different kind of love , a different kind of caring . look at me . what i -- what i feel for you is strong . it 's so strong , that -- that -- that it scares me sometimes . kate : [ voice breaking ] yes . right . fear is very scary . it -- it clouds your judgment , distorts your perspective , poisons every fact of your life , and you try to rationalize with it . and so you try to run from it , but you have to face it or it never goes away . and sometimes , it never , ever goes away . sonny : we can -- we can deal with -- hey . hey . kate : what ? it 's stupid . sonny : we can deal with the fear , okay ? all we have to do is think of last night for what it is , just -- just ... a moment , very difficult moment in our lives that we survived . we can just put it behind us . michael : she woke up once . i did n't -- i did n't tell her anything . the , uh -- the doctors put her back to sleep pretty quick . i - i do n't know how much she 'll remember . blair : i appreciate everything that you 've done , really . thank you . michael : again , i wish i could have done more , uh , mrs. manning . blair : it 's , um , it 's cramer . um , blair cramer . michael : look , i 'm -- i 'm glad you 're here . it just ... it would n't have felt right , you know , for me to tell her . [ monitor beeping ] blair : maybe it 'll be easier if she hears it from me . michael : look , i - i only spoke to your daughter once when i first got to the accident . and she was so focused on saving her family . she seemed ... really brave . blair : you have no idea . you ... you have no idea how brave my little girl is . oh , god , girl , you 're gon na have to be so brave right now . but i 'm here for you . and you 're gon na get through it , okay ? you 're gon na get through it . [ lane ] your anti - wrinkle cream is gone . anna : mac tried to stop him , and i - i told him that this is n't the way for him to remember his daughter . but he insisted , and he went in , and he locked the door , and then whatever he saw in there , you can imagine ... he took off . he never said a word , and , you know , i - i do n't know where he is . luke : he 's going to need some time , anna . anna : yeah , look . he sent me this text . wait a minute . here . here . [ sniffles ] luke : `` i 'm sorry . i ca n't do this . i love you . good - bye . `` anna : `` good - bye . `` i think we need to find him . blair : um , can you tell me anything more about this accident ? michael : well , when the car started to slip , i , uh ... [ sighs ] i grabbed onto it . i tried to use all of my weight to pull it back , but ... it was -- it just fell . blair : and hope and cole ... d - did she say anything what -- what , you know , maybe what caused the accident ? michael : another car swerved into her lane . we -- we found another car spun out on the side of the road when we got there . blair : well , where 's the driver ? tracy : i have n't seen him ! but if he was bleeding when he lost control of the car , does that mean that somebody shot him ? dante : maybe . tracy : so , why are you questioning me ? why are you treating anthony like a suspect ? dante : well , because we 're gon na be treating this as vehicular homicide . tracy : really ? so , go after the person that shot him -- your father ! sonny : we are a lot alike . listen to me , okay ? life is too short . look what just happened to robin . whatever time we got left ... i want to spend it with you . [ monitor beeping ] carly : hey . did they , uh , say when he was gon na wake up ? sam : no . no . not -- not for a while . you should , um , you should probably go . carly : well , i just wanted to sit with him , you know . i came as soon as i heard about robin . sam : you need to go . now . carly : is he okay ? did the drug robin make for him work ? sam : we do n't know yet . patrick pulled off an incredibly dangerous procedure . carly : before or after robin died ? sam : if you want to talk about this , we can go out into the hall , carly . carly : what the hell happened , sam ? sam : so far , everything looks good . the doctors are dealing with a lot of variables . we 're not gon na know for quite some time . carly : so , all we can do is wait ? sam : [ chuckles ] oh , no . you are not gon na wait anywhere near him . i 'm not gon na risk you upsetting him . carly : what are you talking about ? i 'm here to support jason . sam : well , then , why do n't you put him first for once instead of dumping all your problems on him again , like you did before the last surgery ? coming in here , getting him all upset over michael two minutes before he got his head cut open . carly : that 's not what happened . and jason was fine with that . sam : i was not fine with it , carly . i 'm not gon na let you pull this crap again . kate : life 's too short . i 'm sorry . sonny : for what ? kate : [ voice breaking ] i 'm sorry for -- for sleeping with you and then expressing all these concerns and questions . sonny : hey , hey , hey , hey , hey . you were just being honest . kate : you know , olivia would have another name for that . sonny : forget olivia , okay ? she can keep her opinions to herself . this is about you , me , and nobody else . we just got to keep everything out in the open , put everything on the table -- hopes , fears -- kate : hearts . hearts . sonny : i 'm all in . kate : me too . johnny : so , you got off pretty easy , all things considered . anthony : you ai n't kidding . [ winces ] the others were n't so lucky . johnny : the others ? starr : no ! you need to help me get cole and hope out . they 're my entire life ! please ! do n't you have any children ? anthony : a son . starr : what if your son was locked in that car ? [ vehicle approaches ] anthony : that 's corinthos . i 'm out of here . starr : no , no ! please ! no ! anthony : n - nothing . i 'm just glad i made it . michael : i - i never saw the driver . the car was empty when we got there . blair : well , did -- did starr tell you anything ? michael : no , she was just focused on getting her family out of the car . blair : obviously , the driver was fine because he was able to walk away . i mean , a - are the police at least looking for him ? michael : they know who it is . um , they found the car 's registration . blair : h - have they arrested him ? i mean , does he have an explanation for killing my granddaughter ? ! michael : his name is anthony zacchara . okay . the cops have n't been able to find him yet . dante : we have n't identified sonny as the shooter . tracy : he showed up here last night gun in hand ready to shoot anthony . fortunately , i was able to stop him . dante : wow . nice of you to tell me that now , tracy . tracy : sonny killed those two people , and you know it . dante : actually , i - i 'm doing this by the book , so i 'm compiling a list of suspects and witnesses , and anthony fits both those categories . tracy : uh - huh . and sonny took a bullet for you , so now you 're gon na return the favor by covering for him . dante : actually , the only person who 's committed a crime here so far is your husband for fleeing the scene of an accident . and if you are covering for him , we 'll just get you for aiding and abetting . tracy : you know what ? if you do n't have a warrant , you need to get out . dante : [ chuckles ] tracy : go ! [ sighs ] edward : oh , what a glorious morning . there 's not a cloud in the sky . tracy : [ sighs ] are n't you cheerful . edward : [ chuckles ] it 's a beautiful day in the neighborhood . your gangster husband has fled the country , and luke has n't been seen in quite awhile , and nothing can change my mood today . carly : wow . did you forget what happened in hawaii ? sam : [ scoffs ] carly : you are so incredibly insecure , you have no idea what 's going on . i 'm here for jason . he needs me . i 'm his friend . sam : there is too much at stake , and i will act in jason 's best interest . you will either leave under your own power ... or i will have security throw you out . [ monitor beeping ] carly : you know jason would want me here . he has to be devastated about robin . sam : he does n't know . carly : what ? sam : i have n't told him about robin , and i will not tell him until i think it 's okay . carly : that is the stupidest thing i 've ever heard . glad that one 's over . yeah , i know what you mean . edward : w - w - why are you insisting that i sit down ? tracy : because there 's something you need to know , and i want you to hear it from me before you read it in the paper . edward : oh , god . what have you done now , tracy ? has elq stock gone south ? what ? tracy : there 's been an accident at the hospital . edward : oh , god . bad ? tracy : one fatality . edward : a - a - anyone we know ? tracy : robin scorpio . edward : how ? tracy : she apparently was trapped in the lab when it exploded . edward : oh , god . no . damn it ! no . tracy : i 'm sorry , daddy . luke : anna , robert 's in a world of pain . well , you both are , obviously . but i - it does n't necessarily mean that you need to panic . we 're talking about a man here who 's seen and done everything , all kinds of terrible situations . anna : not the death of his daughter . robin was the best part of us . she was the only thing that we ever got right . luke : well , i would n't go that far . anna : yeah . i would . and robert , he was the master of the last - minute rescue , you know ? he was always in the right place at the right time . i think he feels like he should have saved her , you know ? luke : well , that does n't mean that he 's gon na do something to himself necessarily . anna : you did n't see the look on his face after he saw his daughter 's body . luke : you 're sure you 're not overreacting ? anna : well , i do n't know . maybe . mac saw it , too , you know ? we both tried to stop him , but it was like he could n't hear us . luke ... you were his friend for so many years . where would he go ? luke : i have an idea . i might know . anna : okay . luke : i 'll find him . i 'll find him . anna : all right . carly : do you know the history between jason and robin ? how the hell could you not tell him ? sam : because jason 's condition was getting worse . any stress would have triggered a fatal seizure , so i made the decision as his wife not to tell him about robin before the procedure . carly : okay , okay . i get why you did n't tell him before . but as soon as he wakes up , you 're gon na have to tell him . sam : no , not until the doctors tell me it 's okay . carly : sam , do you hear yourself ? do you even know the man that you 're married to ? jason hates being handled . he hates being told what he can not and can do . you -- i 'm telling him as soon as he wakes up . sam : no , you are not . this is exactly why i am not letting you back in there to see him . sonny : why do n't we , uh , go back to my place , right ? [ sighs ] i 'll cook some dinner . you can have a glass of merlot , and we can just be together . kate : did you check on jason in the hospital ? sonny : uh , no . they told me that they would call me if anything changes . kate : all right . well , look , i would love to go with you right now , but i have to make some phone calls . sonny : yeah . kate : i obviously have to clean up a little bit . sonny : see you later , beautiful . kate : see you later , gorgeous . sonny : mm . all right . bye . kate : bye . [ sighs ] ca n't let you do this , kate . carly : so , you 're just gon na lie to his face ? sam : i 'm gon na protect him until i think he 's safe . monica agrees with me . carly : monica ? oh , gosh , yeah . monica . we all know how well she understands jason . how about not at all ? sam , jason loves you . do n't screw this up . he needs to know . he will never forgive you for not telling him . sam : i do n't care , carly . what ? so ? i would rather have jason pissed and alive than dead . carly : and jason would rather die than be treated like some incompetent who ca n't manage his own life . sam : i - i do n't know why you ca n't seem to wrap your selfish , little brain around this . i get to make the decisions , not you . carly : you do n't know him . sam : if you think you 're gon na go in there and shoot your mouth off , you 're gon na wind up killing him . it 's not gon na happen . carly : you ca n't stop me from seeing him . sam : i can stop you . i am his wife now , carly . i have rights . and if you think you 're gon na go anywhere near him , you 're insane . carly : you try and stop me . sam : i will notify the hospital that you are banned from his room , and i will post security outside this door if i have to . carly : you can put security anywhere you want , but i will make sure jason gets what he needs . blair : okay . you said that your brother is a cop , right ? so what in the hell are they doing to bring in this zacchara guy ? michael : they have an apb out on him right now . they want to bring him in for questioning . blair : questioning ? he killed two people . he should be -- have a warrant out for his arrest . michael : the cops ca n't be sure it was his fault . blair : well , who the hell 's fault would it be , then ? [ monitor beeping ] what is it that you are n't telling me ? starr : mom ? blair : hey . mom 's here . it 's gon na be all right . starr : what happened ? where are cole and hope ? anthony : i knew when sonny realized my car did n't go off the cliff , he 'd be back to finish the job . i had nowhere else to go , john , no one else i knew who could handle the situation . johnny : all right , well , you can stay here just for a little bit . anthony : i knew i could count on you , son . johnny : do n't read too much into that , please . anthony : good enough . i appreciate it . thank you .

[ door closes ] carly : jason would want to see me . epiphany : jason ca n't let us know that right now , and sam is his wife . if she says you 're banned , then you 're banned . carly : are you kidding me ? after all the money i 've given this hospital , all the charity benefits i 've thrown at my hotel , i ca n't get in to see my best friend ? epiphany : you keep on giving me grief about this and i 'll make sure that the ban expands to the entire hospital . your call . carly : [ sighs ] sonny : everything okay ? carly : i do n't know . sam banned me . i - i got in for a few minutes , and he seemed to be okay . sonny : is jason awake ? carly : not yet . but the procedure went well , so ... we 'll see . hope she was telling me the truth . sonny : why do n't we -- i was just gon na say `` why do n't we ask robin ? `` 'cause i expect to see her , you know . she -- she saved jason 's life , you know . carly : i know . sonny : [ groans ] [ monitor beeping ] sam : please understand . i could n't tell you .

[ scene_break ] paul : please . you -- you have to tell derek that you will take his case . bonnie : even if i agreed , there is a conflict of interest . derek coburn kidnapped me . so representing someone who i know committed a felony involving me is not only bizarre , it is unethical . i would be disbarred . paul : so what ? you said you did n't want to practice law anymore anyway . bonnie : okay . so even if i agreed to commit professional suicide , there is still the confidentiality issue . i -- i 'd be bound by law not to tell you anything that derek says . paul : come on . so what ? if he does tell you something that leads us to meg , is n't it worth it ? bonnie , please . there are two lives at stake here . bonnie : okay . i 'll -- i 'll do it . i 'll help you .

[ lily laughs ] lily : fair enough . holden : we still have a lot of things that we need to work out . lily : yeah . but i 'm just so grateful that something positive came out of what happened to ethan . holden : when you come face - to - face with the prospect of losing a child , it gives you instant perspective . lily : we needed some of that . holden : we did . when i thought we were gon na lose ethan , it made me realize there are only a few things that matter in this world -- my children and you . [ scene_break ] dallas : they 're bringing up coburn from lockup now . paul : let 's hope this works . bonnie : it 's a long shot , but if it helps to find meg , it 's worth it . cop : he 's all yours . derek : you came back . bonnie : yeah . i thought it over , and i decided to take your case after all . derek : hmm . well , i changed my mind . i do n't want you to represent me after all .

[ scene_break ] lily : the rest of the family thinks we 're asleep . what would they say if they knew how we were passing the time ? [ holden laughs ] holden : i wo n't tell if you wo n't .

[ scene_break ] barbara : honey , i thought i would have heard from you by now . any news on meg ? paul : no . why 's he doing this , mom ? is it some kind of a test ? i mean , he sent me on a wild - goose chase to find some gold that was n't there . is this some kind of a test , like i 'm supposed to go find my pregnant wife ? barbara : honey , i -- i do n't want to upset you any more , but i do believe your father is through testing you . in fact , i think he intends not to bring meg back at all . [ scene_break ] janet : thank you . look , i know you 're working on something really big . but to send your ex - wife to clue me in -- are you trying to let me down easy ? jack : i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry if it seemed insensitive . i -- i did n't mean to hurt you , janet . janet : either you 're lying to me or you 're lying to yourself . because the truth is , carly is still your home base , your port in a storm , so to speak . and she always will be . [ scene_break ] emma : now , i know -- i know this puts mike out of a job . and mike , i 'm really sorry about that . but the idea of putting houses -- building houses on this land -- i mean , after what happened to ethan , i just -- i could n't do it . lily : listen , i -- i know it was hell . but ethan is fine . and emma , you 've got to think about yourself . i mean , you -- you have to make sure that you have enough money to live on , not just today , but for the future . emma : well , i ca n't do that by selling this land that 's been in my family for years . it was -- the arrangement was terrible to begin with . it was wrong . lily : nobody blames you for this , emma . emma : i blame myself . excuse me . mike : i 'm sorry she 's so upset . lily : mike , if she shuts down the project , what will you do ? mike : i do n't know . you know , those houses were the reason i came back to oakdale . i guess i 'd have to move on -- unless you give me a reason to stay . [ scene_break ] holden : i just figured that you 'd rather hear it from me than get the news third hand . carly : its okay , holden . i can see for myself that you and lily are on your way back to something . and that 's good . if you 're happy , then i 'm happy . holden : our problems -- they just seem so insignificant after almost losing ethan . carly : right . yes . a , uh -- a crisis definitely brings people closer . the question is , what happens when the crisis is over ? holden : so i just wanted to let you know that , uh , lily and i -- we decided that -- well , we 're gon na give it another shot , not only for ourselves , but for our kids . and i wanted you to know that . carly : you and lily have been together for practically your entire lives and i -- i never wanted that to end , holden -- not on my account . holden : you know , you got me through one of the hardest -- hardest times in my life . and i will never , ever be able to thank you for that . carly : you just did . i , uh -- i wish you and lily the very best . [ scene_break ] mike : you still have n't answered my question . lily : mike , you are a wonderful person , but if you 're asking me to give you a reason to stay , i ca n't do that . mike : you and holden . i noticed something changed for the two of you when ethan was in trouble . lily : it 's like all the defenses came down , you know ? the dust cleared , and suddenly , we saw each other again . mike : so you 're back together ? lily : we 're -- we 're gon na try , for our family 's sake . mike : i understand that . i do . and we had great times . i have no regrets . lily : mike , you -- you made me feel beautiful and wanted at the lowest point in my life . you helped save my son . i will always hold a special place for you in my heart . promise me that we 'll stay friends . mike : it 's a deal . i should go . lily : take care of yourself . mike : you too . good luck . [ scene_break ] jack : carly and i will never be a couple again , janet . janet : oh , i 'm not so sure about that , jack . jack : why ? janet : because things were going really well between the two of us -- until i made that stupid mistake of helping bradley destroy evidence . and then everything changed . and i 'm not saying that you should have shrugged it off or that you should have forgiven me , but the one thing i wish you had n't done was go back to your comfort zone . and that 's carly . jack : okay . i 'm not gon na deny that i was angry with what you did . it was a huge part of my life that was impacted by that . i am no longer a detective . and i need to deal with that . janet : i know . and i hate the fact -- i hate myself that you have to go through this . jack : do n't hate yourself . i do n't want you to hate yourself . i just need space to deal with the changes in my life . i 'm not punishing you . it 's just -- i need to work through some things . and i 'm sorry if it feels like i 'm neglecting you . i 'm not . it 's just -- it 's all i can give right now . janet : i understand . you are a very special guy . and if i could have you all to myself , i would . but there is a part of you that will always belong to carly . and that 's too bad , 'cause i 'm an all - or - nothing kind of girl .

[ scene_break ] paul : why 's he doing this ? who does that ? what , he 's deliberately trying to make me go crazy ? barbara : honey , i do believe that your father has finally given up on seeing you follow in his footsteps , but meg 's baby gives him another chance . paul : so he 's not even after meg ? he 's after our baby ? barbara : i believe that he sees your baby as a legacy he can control -- another shot at immortality , his future . paul : no ! it 's my future ! it 's my future , mom ! it 's my future with meg ! and i 'll die before i let him get his hands on my baby ! jack : what the hell is going on here ? paul : mom thinks james took meg so that he can get his hands on our baby . barbara : i did n't mean to upset you any more . maybe my imagination is running overtime . paul : no . unfortunately , with james , worst - case scenario is usually true . dallas : hey . you guys are gon na want to hear this . coburn 's says he 's got the goods on stenbeck .

[ both laugh ] holden : so , um , do you think we 've given them too much hope ? lily : i think we need to be careful . i do n't want her to get her heart broken again . holden : so , what happened with mike earlier ? lily : well , since the development 's not happening , he 's probably gon na leave town . holden : how do you feel about that ? lily : i want mike to be happy . if that means he has to move back to europe , i think he should do it . what about carly ? holden : i told her that we were gon na try again . lily : what did she say ? holden : she was happy for us . lily : holden , do you really think we can make it this time ? holden : all we can do is give it our best . [ scene_break ] janet : you and jack keep saying that you 'll never be together again , but the way things are , you can never be with anybody else . you know , it 's like this invisible rubber band just keeps pulling you guys back together . carly : well , we 'll always be tied together because of the children . janet : oh , carly . it 's more than that , and you know it . carly : okay , janet . well , you know , you may never get 100 % of jack , but the fact is , part of him is still vastly better than -- than all of any other men in the universe . janet : i do n't know about that . have you ever thought about taking your own advice ? [ scene_break ] jack : i realize it 's not much to go on , but it 's all we got . paul : oh , come on , jack . you believe a word he says ? derek could still be working for james . he could be deliberately misleading us . barbara : i agree . sending us up a blind alley would be vintage stenbeck . bonnie : you 'd better not be lying . derek : i hate stenbeck as much as everybody else . i was only working for the guy because he was blackmailing me . bonnie : so you 'd like us to believe . derek : you know what ? truth be told , i do n't care what everybody else thinks . but i want you to believe me . bonnie , i need you to trust me . bonnie : i 'm trying . jack : time to send out steinbeck 's mug shot . listen , we 're gon na need recent photos of meg . paul : that 's your solution ? you 're gon na send out some pictures ? barbara : where are you going , paul ? paul : where am i going ? i 'm gon na go find my wife .

holden and lily say tell mike and carly that they have decided to give their marriage another try and carly is happy for them . mike is sad and tries to hold back tears when lily tells him the news but he wishes lily the best of luck with her marriage . emma decides to shut down the development project because she blames herself for ethan 's accident . mike tells lily since the project is shut down he will probably leave oakdale . janet gets angry at jack because he did n't tell her himself that he was going out of town on a private case instead he sent carly to tell her the news . the incident makes janet realize that carly will always come first with jack so she tells him that he should stop lying to himself and get back together with carly . janet also tells carly not to lose jack and try to have a relationship with him again . emma decides to donate the land to the city and make it a wildlife preserve or a park for children . lucinda 's friend brian suggests that they have a benefit to raise money for the project . derek tells jack and paul that james has a beach house somewhere on the east coast and that is probably where he took meg . paul thinks jack 's way of finding meg is too slow so he goes out to search for meg on his own . james does indeed take meg to a very secluded beach house and says that it will be her new home .

[ scene_break ] paul : please . you -- you have to tell derek that you will take his case . bonnie : even if i agreed , there is a conflict of interest . derek coburn kidnapped me . so representing someone who i know committed a felony involving me is not only bizarre , it is unethical . i would be disbarred . paul : so what ? you said you did n't want to practice law anymore anyway . bonnie : okay . so even if i agreed to commit professional suicide , there is still the confidentiality issue . i -- i 'd be bound by law not to tell you anything that derek says . paul : come on . so what ? if he does tell you something that leads us to meg , is n't it worth it ? bonnie , please . there are two lives at stake here . bonnie : okay . i 'll -- i 'll do it . i 'll help you .

[ lily laughs ] lily : fair enough . holden : we still have a lot of things that we need to work out . lily : yeah . but i 'm just so grateful that something positive came out of what happened to ethan . holden : when you come face - to - face with the prospect of losing a child , it gives you instant perspective . lily : we needed some of that . holden : we did . when i thought we were gon na lose ethan , it made me realize there are only a few things that matter in this world -- my children and you .

[ scene_break ] jack : carly and i will never be a couple again , janet . janet : oh , i 'm not so sure about that , jack . jack : why ? janet : because things were going really well between the two of us -- until i made that stupid mistake of helping bradley destroy evidence . and then everything changed . and i 'm not saying that you should have shrugged it off or that you should have forgiven me , but the one thing i wish you had n't done was go back to your comfort zone . and that 's carly . jack : okay . i 'm not gon na deny that i was angry with what you did . it was a huge part of my life that was impacted by that . i am no longer a detective . and i need to deal with that . janet : i know . and i hate the fact -- i hate myself that you have to go through this . jack : do n't hate yourself . i do n't want you to hate yourself . i just need space to deal with the changes in my life . i 'm not punishing you . it 's just -- i need to work through some things . and i 'm sorry if it feels like i 'm neglecting you . i 'm not . it 's just -- it 's all i can give right now . janet : i understand . you are a very special guy . and if i could have you all to myself , i would . but there is a part of you that will always belong to carly . and that 's too bad , 'cause i 'm an all - or - nothing kind of girl .

[ lullaby plays ] carly : oh . jax : oh . i know . carly : yep . we 've been attacked by baby toys . jax : oh . you know -- carly : hmm ? jax : before you came in , i was sitting here . i was thinking about how wonderful my life is and how happy john makes me , and how unspeakably selfish i am by keeping him from his natural father . maxie : nikolas , i did n't think you -- nikolas : oh , it 's ok . i could n't leave things like that . i 'm sorry . maxie : no , wait , i 'm -- i 'm really sorry for being such an idiot . it 's perfectly understandable why you would n't want to be with someone who turns into a bitchy little snip when things do n't go her way . nikolas : no , i -- i 've had my less - than - sterling character moments , as well . maxie : wait , it 's really important that i say this . there 's something you need to know and i should 've told you without trying to attach strings . nikolas : what , is this some kind of joke ? maxie : no . it 's your truth , nikolas . you need to know it . nikolas : where did you get this ? maxie : there was a mix - up in the interoffice mail . nikolas : you -- you could 've gone to jax . maxie : ok , please do n't get mad at me , but i did go to jax . i was upset about jesse , about -- about you , life in general . i thought i could get something out of it , so i tried to blackmail him . nikolas : well , you should n't have done that . maxie : tell me about it . evidently , jax does n't handle blackmail very well . so i set this up thinking that you would be grateful to me , but that does n't matter , ok ? you -- you have a son , and now you know it . nikolas : i have a lot more than that . [ maxie sighs ] robin : hey . i just got your message . are you ok ? emily : it 's not that i do n't have experience with moody men , you know ? my grandfather , my dad , nikolas . but what i saw with sonny is something completely different altogether . lainey : the symptoms you 've described could indicate bipolar disorder . but it 's unusual for somebody of sonny 's age and level of success to have gone undiagnosed and untreated for that long , let alone remain as functional as he has . on the other hand , sonny 's been under enormous stress -- trouble with jason over you , the business , sam being shot . he could just be on overload . emily : so you do n't think it 's anything to worry about ? lainey : possibly premature . but i will tell you this . in cases like this , it 's best to know what you 're dealing with , which means getting sonny in for psychiatric evaluation so that we can determine if he has a propensity for this kind of condition . emily : i can pretty safely say that 's not going to happen . lainey : right . well , i guess basically all you can do is keep an eye on him . emily : ok . all right , thanks , lainey . lainey : hey , em , hold on a second . emily : yeah ? lainey : take a look at these . emily : ok . lainey : and look at the websites listed , get as much information as you can . and if sonny begins to manifest symptoms , then we definitely need to discuss getting him into treatment . sonny : you got more on your plate , jason , than you ever bargained for . and no matter how many people you surround yourself with , you 're still going to be alone , vulnerable , responsible , always looking ahead for the next set of circumstances that could evolve into a war , or a disagreement that could get you and everybody you love hurt or killed . jason : you know why i did it . you know you can have it all back . sonny : that 's not why i 'm here . i just wanted to let you know that i know more about this , you know , than anybody . i have a vested interest in your success because it keeps the jackals off emily and me . but , before you can protect anybody else , you have to learn how to keep sam safe . if they think they can come into your home , where you live , take what you love , then none of us stand a chance . now , i -- emily told me that alexis moved sam so she can be away from you . now she 's back ? what 's going on there ? jason : alexis brought her back so patrick and noah drake can treat her . she said she does n't want me anywhere near sam , which i already figured was coming . sonny : ok . you know how i feel about alexis and having to listen to her side , but i think she 's got a point . sonny : ok , sam is a target because of what you do for a living . that makes you the danger . does that sound familiar ? jason : i know what you 're getting at . i 've heard it from monica , alexis -- it 's not fair for me to demand that you give up emily if i refuse to give up sam . but i know all the ways that you could hurt emily . sonny : sam 's already hurt . you could n't protect her . what 's the real difference ? tracy : what took you so long ? luke : we were actually searching the grounds . robert : you were supposed to be helping . tracy : why would i help my husband look for holly ? robert : because she stole a cool million in jewels ? tracy : oh , please . those jewels are long gone , and so is holly . robert : i 'm afraid she 's right . luke : nope , you 're both wrong . but then , of course , how could you know that plan b is already in motion ? holly : excuse me , captain ? could you possibly fly any faster ? it 's just i 'm really anxious to get to our destination . anna : i 'm so sorry , holly , but there 's been a slight change of plans . holly : oh . carly : what is so wrong with wanting to love and protect a little boy ? i mean , that 's all we 're doing here . that 's all it 's ever been about . we 're not using john as a weapon , and we 're not depriving him of something that nikolas could give him . and considering what freaks the cassadines are -- like alexis and helena -- i bet you we 've even racked up credit as heroes on this one . jax : wow . you should 've been in p.r . , because you can put a positive spin on almost anything . carly : i 'm serious . hey , we love that little boy . and we 're crazy enough about each other not to ruin things by getting married . john is more than fine right here with us . jax : you know , whenever i think about how grateful i am for john , the very next thought on my mind is you . you 've really made all the difference , you know ? [ knock on door ] jax : maybe they 'll just go away . carly : hmm . jax : yeah .

[ maxie sighs ] robin : hey . i just got your message . are you ok ? emily : it 's not that i do n't have experience with moody men , you know ? my grandfather , my dad , nikolas . but what i saw with sonny is something completely different altogether . lainey : the symptoms you 've described could indicate bipolar disorder . but it 's unusual for somebody of sonny 's age and level of success to have gone undiagnosed and untreated for that long , let alone remain as functional as he has . on the other hand , sonny 's been under enormous stress -- trouble with jason over you , the business , sam being shot . he could just be on overload . emily : so you do n't think it 's anything to worry about ? lainey : possibly premature . but i will tell you this . in cases like this , it 's best to know what you 're dealing with , which means getting sonny in for psychiatric evaluation so that we can determine if he has a propensity for this kind of condition . emily : i can pretty safely say that 's not going to happen . lainey : right . well , i guess basically all you can do is keep an eye on him . emily : ok . all right , thanks , lainey . lainey : hey , em , hold on a second . emily : yeah ? lainey : take a look at these . emily : ok . lainey : and look at the websites listed , get as much information as you can . and if sonny begins to manifest symptoms , then we definitely need to discuss getting him into treatment . sonny : you got more on your plate , jason , than you ever bargained for . and no matter how many people you surround yourself with , you 're still going to be alone , vulnerable , responsible , always looking ahead for the next set of circumstances that could evolve into a war , or a disagreement that could get you and everybody you love hurt or killed . jason : you know why i did it . you know you can have it all back . sonny : that 's not why i 'm here . i just wanted to let you know that i know more about this , you know , than anybody . i have a vested interest in your success because it keeps the jackals off emily and me . but , before you can protect anybody else , you have to learn how to keep sam safe . if they think they can come into your home , where you live , take what you love , then none of us stand a chance . now , i -- emily told me that alexis moved sam so she can be away from you . now she 's back ? what 's going on there ? jason : alexis brought her back so patrick and noah drake can treat her . she said she does n't want me anywhere near sam , which i already figured was coming . sonny : ok . you know how i feel about alexis and having to listen to her side , but i think she 's got a point . sonny : ok , sam is a target because of what you do for a living . that makes you the danger . does that sound familiar ? jason : i know what you 're getting at . i 've heard it from monica , alexis -- it 's not fair for me to demand that you give up emily if i refuse to give up sam . but i know all the ways that you could hurt emily . sonny : sam 's already hurt . you could n't protect her . what 's the real difference ? tracy : what took you so long ? luke : we were actually searching the grounds . robert : you were supposed to be helping . tracy : why would i help my husband look for holly ? robert : because she stole a cool million in jewels ? tracy : oh , please . those jewels are long gone , and so is holly . robert : i 'm afraid she 's right . luke : nope , you 're both wrong . but then , of course , how could you know that plan b is already in motion ? holly : excuse me , captain ? could you possibly fly any faster ? it 's just i 'm really anxious to get to our destination . anna : i 'm so sorry , holly , but there 's been a slight change of plans . holly : oh . carly : what is so wrong with wanting to love and protect a little boy ? i mean , that 's all we 're doing here . that 's all it 's ever been about . we 're not using john as a weapon , and we 're not depriving him of something that nikolas could give him . and considering what freaks the cassadines are -- like alexis and helena -- i bet you we 've even racked up credit as heroes on this one . jax : wow . you should 've been in p.r . , because you can put a positive spin on almost anything . carly : i 'm serious . hey , we love that little boy . and we 're crazy enough about each other not to ruin things by getting married . john is more than fine right here with us . jax : you know , whenever i think about how grateful i am for john , the very next thought on my mind is you . you 've really made all the difference , you know ? [ knock on door ] jax : maybe they 'll just go away . carly : hmm . jax : yeah .

[ sighs ] i 'm sorry if i disappointed you with my testimony . julian : that you have n't forgiven me yet ? that 's not exactly a surprise . alexis : the truth is i did n't even know i was gon na say that . i ... i did n't even know that i was thinking it . julian : sometimes swearing an oath makes people own up to their true feelings . i know how you feel . alexis : then i 'm grateful that i did n't blindside you . julian : look , i have to ask you just one more thing . scott : julian , let 's get out of here before she does any more damage . julian : she was just telling the truth , scotty . look , i have to know one more thing , please . scott : no , you do n't have to know anything . julian : look , before it ended , scott asked you if you could ever see yourself forgiving me . if the judge had let you answer , what would you have said ? alexis : i would say that i 'm committed to living my life one day at a time . i do n't know what the future holds .

in court , alexis is questioned by da campbell on whether or not she thinks that julian was responsible for what happened . alexis basically states she does but then scott gets her to admit that julian did save her life and also helped her escape . after the trial ends for the day , julian tells alexis he is sorry that scott used those tactics in court . alexis does n't think they are going to help them win very well . julian wonders if alexis will ever forgive him . alexis is living her life one day at a time and leaves . finn over hears hayden on the phone with the bank trying to get money moved to an account for rachel berlin . finn is confused by what is going on and hayden ends up breaking down . she reveals that jared has been blackmailing her . finn does n't care what she did in her past . he loves her and they are having a baby together . hayden runs out crying because she does n't know what to do .

[ sighs ] i 'm sorry if i disappointed you with my testimony . julian : that you have n't forgiven me yet ? that 's not exactly a surprise . alexis : the truth is i did n't even know i was gon na say that . i ... i did n't even know that i was thinking it . julian : sometimes swearing an oath makes people own up to their true feelings . i know how you feel . alexis : then i 'm grateful that i did n't blindside you . julian : look , i have to ask you just one more thing . scott : julian , let 's get out of here before she does any more damage . julian : she was just telling the truth , scotty . look , i have to know one more thing , please . scott : no , you do n't have to know anything . julian : look , before it ended , scott asked you if you could ever see yourself forgiving me . if the judge had let you answer , what would you have said ? alexis : i would say that i 'm committed to living my life one day at a time . i do n't know what the future holds .

sheridan : you have told me more about my mother than i ever dreamed of knowing . and now you tell me that this is only the beginning , that there 's more for you tell me ? katherine : well , yes , sheridan , there is more . martin : sweetheart , i 'm sorry , but i could n't let you tell sheridan that you 're her mother . katherine : i know i should n't , but i ca n't lie to you , martin -- i do n't know if i can keep quiet . it 's sheridan . it 's my baby girl . she 's here , back after all these years . all i want to do is take her in my arms and hold her , comfort her , wipe away all her tears , wipe away all that pain , let her know that her mother is not dead , not entombed in that crane mausoleum , that she 's alive and that i am her mother . there 's so much more for you to know , sheridan . so much more . sheridan : what is it ? please tell me . tell me everything . i want to know . luis : after all these years of not knowing what happened to my father , to find out that he did n't leave by his own choice -- i 'll tell you , it changes everything . all the anger that i 've had towards him all these years , and for you to tell me that he 's still alive -- you got to tell me everything . i need to know everything , mr . wheeler . martin : and i will , i promise . that 's why i brought you here to the crane estate . luis : yeah , well , i do n't understand why you did n't just tell me everything back at the hospital . martin : because it 's complicated . i 'd rather -- i 'd rather show it to you , let you see it all with your own eyes than try to explain -- luis : see what , though ? see what ? i do n't understand . martin : but you will , i promise . soon , everything will become clear . martin : i just hope when it does , when the truth comes out , you 'll be able to understand why i did what i did and forgive me . gwen : how could you do this to me , ethan ? how ? ethan : gwen , stop it ! calm down . gwen : i 'm not going to calm down ! ethan : listen , i 'll explain it to you outside . come here . gwen : what are you going to explain to me ? i know what i heard . ethan : you came in on the tail end of a conversation . i was just trying to get her to go through with termination , all right ? gwen : well , did you ? ethan : no , not yet . gwen : no , of course you didn't . otherwise , you would not be leaving the decision up to her . ethan , she hates me ! you know that she hates me . she is going to kill our babies because she hates me ! she 's never forgiven me for winning you back after she stole you away ! she is ruthless , and you know that ! and now -- now , because she ca n't have you , ethan , now she 's going to kill our babies ! ethan : gwen , she -- listen , i was begging her to go through with this procedure so we could at least save one of the babies . gwen : well , that would entail theresa actually thinking of someone other than herself , and you and i both know that she 's not capable of that . it is not even in her to think of anyone other than herself ! ethan : i think she is desperately trying to do the right thing here . gwen : oh , the right thing ? you know what , ethan , i had a dream , but i know it was a premonition . i dreamt that theresa did n't go through with the procedure , and you know what happened ? both babies died ! both of my babies died because of that little slut ! ethan : gwen , it was a dream ! gwen : you know what ? it 's coming true ! because here you are , you are putting theresa first , just like you always put her first ! you are telling her to do what she thinks is best ? what about me , what i think is best ? ethan : gwen , please -- gwen : `` please `` what ? i mean , does it matter what i want at all ? do you care about what i want ? ethan : of course i do . she 's uncomfortable with this , ok ? we have got to be sensitive to her religious beliefs , gwen . gwen : when push comes to shove , you always put theresa first . ethan : that is not true . gwen : ethan , i do n't even want to hear any more of your excuses , ok , because i know what i heard . she decided that she did n't want to go through with the procedure , and you said , `` ok . `` you gave her permission to condemn both of our babies to death rather than save one of them . how could you do that ? what the hell were you thinking ? ethan : honey , you have to calm down . you were sick a little while ago . please calm down . gwen : ethan , these are our babies we 're talking about . how dare you tell theresa that it 's ok that she does n't do everything necessary to save one of their lives ! you just do n't want her to do anything that makes her uncomfortable ! ethan : i did n't say that ! gwen : how can you put theresa 's feelings above the lives of our babies and over me ? ethan : if you would calm down for a second , i would explain -- gwen : ethan , how am i supposed to calm down after what you 've done here ? i am never going to forgive you for this ! eve : hi , honey . i got here as soon as i could . so , have you come to some decision about the babies ? theresa : yeah . i made my decision . and there 's nothing anyone can say that 's going to make me change my mind . singer : i would hold the hand of the one who could lead me places and kiss the lips of the one who could sing so sweet and i would fly on the wings of the bird i knew could take me highest breathe in , breathe out you keep me alive you are the fire burning inside of me you are my passion for life luis : i still do n't understand . what could you possibly show me on the crane estate that 's going to help me understand what happened to my father ? alistair : building this gazebo was a stroke of genius . it will never raise even the slightest suspicion . it will appear to be simply a beautiful gift to my family , a place where the cranes can enjoy parties and picnics for generations to come . even after i 'm gone , this gazebo will remain . martin : and so will the secret that 's buried beneath it . alistair : as it must . no one can ever know the truth , martin . martin : but you know it and i know it . every time i look at this gazebo , it 'll be a reminder of what we 've done . alistair : exactly . which is why it was so important to me that you be the one to build it . i wanted your role in all of this to be firmly embedded in your mind and in your soul . this gazebo will stand as a tangible reminder , something for you to look at every day . so if you ever should weaken , if you even think of confessing or revealing the truth , you can look at this gazebo and know that that is utterly and completely out of the question . because if you ever tell anyone what we did , you 'll destroy not only your own life , but the lives of everyone you love . martin 's voice : their lives have been destroyed , anyway . i ca n't live under alistair 's threats any longer . i won't . it 's cost me too much . it 's time the truth was told , no matter what the repercussions . martin : be patient , luis . we 're almost there . luis : almost where ? martin : you 'll see . come on , it 's this way . sheridan : i want you to tell me everything that you know about my mother . i want to know everything . i was so young when she died . i have memories of her , but they 're so limited , just moments here and there , fragments . but your stories -- you 've helped bring her back to life for me . you 've reawakened memories that i did n't even realize that i have . so if you could please tell me everything that you know , every little detail , no matter how trivial or insignificant it might seem to you . katherine : i want to tell you everything , sheridan . i want to share everything with you . sam : sorry to interrupt . sheridan : i do n't have to leave just yet , do i ? sam : no . i have some important news for you . it seems that alistair crane has had a change of heart . sheridan : what do you mean ? sam : he 's dropped all the charges against you . katherine : what ? sam : you 're free to go . gwen : i have sat by time after time after time as you have rushed to theresa 's side . i am your wife , ethan , but theresa 's the one who always comes first . you are always so concerned with doing what 's best for theresa , alws so concerned about not wanting to hurt her feelings . ethan : that is not true . gwen : and , you know , i 've put up with it . i have , not happily , that 's for sure , but i have . but this time you 've gone too far because not only have you put your concern for her above me , you 've put it above the lives of our babies . ethan : no , i did not do that . gwen : do n't make it worse by lying , because i heard you plain as day . you told theresa that you understand if she does n't do everything necessary to save one of our babies ' lives . it is unforgivable . it 's unconscionable . you know how much those babies mean to me . ethan : they mean just as much to me . gwen : obviously not . ethan : listen , you -- honey , you need to calm down . you know what the doctor said about you getting upset . you need to calm down . please . gwen : you know what theresa did to me in los angeles . not only did she make me lose sarah , but that fall damaged my ovaries so badly that i can never conceive again , and that is my only chance to have a child of my own . i mean , do you love me at all here ? ethan : come on , of course i do . gwen : you know what i went through when we lost sarah , and you know that i told you that i will not be able to survive if we lose both of these babies , too , and armed with all of that , what do you say to theresa ? you tell her that it 's ok that both of our babies die . `` it 's ok , theresa . it 's ok to devastate gwen . it 's ok to rip the dream away from her forever of becoming a mother . but you know what , thesa ? you do whatever you want . as long as you 're happy and you 're not uncomfortable , theresa , you do whatever you want , because that 's really all that matters , right ? `` ethan : that is so not true . gwen : i hate you . i hate you so much for putting theresa first again . eve : i so know what you 're going through , honey . even though these are n't technically your children , all surrogates bond with the babies that they 're carrying to one degree or another . they fall in love with them . they want what 's best for them . so i know how awful it is for you to be told the babies you 're carrying that you love are going to die unless they have this procedure . theresa : but it means taking the life of one of these unborn babies . eve : this is a hard decision for any woman , theresa . i ca n't ask you to go against your beliefs . just as your doctor , i 'm obligated to present all the options to you . but in the end , only you can make the decision . theresa : i know . i have . ( executive ) so does anybody have anything else to add ? luis : you said that alistair crane had something to do with my father 's disappearance . is that why we 're here ? martin : all i can do is show you the facts . how you interpret them is up to you . luis : sounds so mysterious . martin : come on , it 's that way . martin : god , forgive me . forgive me for what i 've done , for what i 'm about to do . i have no choice . i have to abandon my family . it 's the only way to save them . i have to leave harmony to protect them . otherwise , alistair will make good on his threats and destroy them . i just pray the secret that 's buried here , along with what i 've done , will remain here , buried in this gazebo for all eternity . martin : i was wrong . this terrible secret ca n't stay buried . it 's time for the truth to finally be known . only then can my son and my family understand why i did what i did , why i had to leave them . ethan : honey , i am not putting theresa ahead of you or ahead of our babies . gwen : yes , you are , and i 'm sick of it . ethan : try putting yourself in her position for just one second . gwen : why do n't you tell theresa to put herself in my shoes for a second ? ethan : honey , honey , think about the enormity of what we 're asking her to do now . gwen : we are asking her to save the life of one of our babies , ethan . ethan : honey , we are asking her to go against what she and the church believe is god 's law . we are asking her to put her very soul on the line by taking the lives of one of those unborn babies . gwen : is n't it better to sacrifice one than to let both of them die ? ethan : the church says that it is god 's law to make that decision . gwen : save the life of one of our babies , ethan . ethan : honey , we are asking her to go against what she and the church believe is god 's law . we are asking her to put her very soul on the line by taki can't . gwen : well , i really do n't care about theresa 's beliefs . where were theresa 's beliefs when she killed sarah ? where were theresa 's beliefs when she seduced another woman 's husband ? where the hell were theresa 's beliefs when she knocked out our surrogate and tricked the doctors into implanting her with our embryo ? as far as i 'm concerned , theresa and her beliefs can go to hell . ethan : you do n't mean that . gwen : i do mean that . the only thing that i care about right now is saving one of our babies , ethan , ok ? i 'm going to do whatever it takes to save one of them . why can you not understand that ? ethan : of course i understand that ! i 'm the father , gwen ! of course i understand it . you do n't think i want to do everything i can to save either one of them , to have one of them to hold , to love , to grow up with ? gwen : that 's why we need to force her to do this , ok , and then if she decides she does n't want to do it , then we just maybe need to take a lesson from what she did to heather . we can just knock her out and have it done anyway . ethan : all right , all right , gwen , stop . i understand . i understand wanting to do everything we can to make sure one of these babies survives . i also understand theresa 's position in feeling uncomfortable with this . as painful as it is , we got to respect it . we have to . gwen : you and theresa can both go to hell . ethan : oh , gwen . gwen , please -- gwen : do n't even come near me , because i am done , ok ? i am finished with you always putting theresa first . i am not going to stand for you always putting theresa first anymore ! ethan : that is not what i am doing . gwen : yes , it is what you are doing ! i 'm looking at your actions , and over and over again , they put the lie to your words . ethan : that is not true . gwen : i 'm done . ok ? just go to her . just -- you can have her , because i 'm done . i 've already lost sarah , i 've lost the ability to get pregnant , and now i 'm going to lose my only chance to ever have my own child . and who 's responsible for all of it ? it 's theresa . and what do you do ? do you stand by my side ? do you support me ? what does my husband do ? no , you rush to theresa 's side again ! ethan : i did not -- gwen : don'even try to deny it because you would n't do it if you did n't still love her . ethan : i don't . i love you . you 're my wife and i love you . gwen : well , your wife is sick of coming in second . your wife is through with you always choosing theresa . ethan : i did n't choose her ! i did n't marry her ! i married you ! gwen : and you have obviously always regretted it . so now you can undo it , ok , because i 'm done . i 'm just -- i 'm done , ethan . i 'm through with you . this marriage is over . eve : sohat have you decided ? ethan : think about it . you can either deliberately let two little souls go and -- and die . or you could give birth to one beautiful , healthy little baby . you can watch that baby grow . you can watch that baby mature and have a meaningful life . it 's all up to you . theresa : i 'm going to let you do it . i 'm going to sacrifice one of these precious souls to save the other . some work involved ... singer : you are my passion for life eve : you 're positive that you want to have this procedure ? theresa : yes . may god forgive me , but i have to save one of these babies . i ca n't let them both die , even if it means committing a mortal sin . eve : honey , you do understand that there 's no guarantee that the remaining fetus will survive ? theresa : well , i have to at least try , do n't i ? eve : only you can answer that . that 's why i 'm going to ask you again . are you sure you want to have this procedure ? because once it 's done , we ca n't go back . theresa : yes . dr. russell , can we do this as fast as possible , because i do n't want to think about it anymore , ok ? i do n't want to talk about it . eve : i 'll go and get things started , ok ? theresa : thank you . ethan : you ca n't say that . you ca n't mean that . you do n't want to just walk away from our marriage , gwen . come on . gwen : ethan , you have left me with no choice . i mean , nothing 's ever going to change . this ridiculous triangle 's going to never stop . it 's always going to be me chasing you chasing theresa , and i refuse to spend the rest of my life that way . ethan : i 'm not -- i 'm not asking you to . gwen : yeah , you are . despite what you say , ethan , no matter what happens , you 're always going to put her first . ethan : that 's not true . gwen : yes , it is . it 's always been true and it always will be true , and you just proved it by putting theresa 's happiness and comfort level above our babies ' lives . ethan : gw -- eve : i need a procedure room set up immediately . theresa lopez - fitzgerald has decided to go ahead . nurse : i think room d is available . i 'll go check . gwen : eve , did i just hear what you said ? did you -- theresa agreed to have the procedure ? eve : yes , and she wants to have it done immediately . gwen : oh , my god ! ethan , did you hear ? theresa agreed to have the procedure ! she 's going to try and save one of our babies . katherine : alistair crane dropped the charges ? all of them ? there must be some mistake . sam : no mistake . i 've got the paperwork right here . you 're free to go . sheridan : wait , something 's not right here , sam . you know my father . he would never do this . i mean , when someone has crossed him , if he even imagines that someone 's crossed him , he does n't sleep until he 's exacted his revenge . he makes them pay two eyes for an eye . sam : i know that all too well . sheridan : so why did he drop the charges against mrs . wheeler ? sam : i have no idea . sheridan : i mean , do n't get me wrong , i want you out of here , but you did try to kill my father , twice . he would never let that slide . i mean , he would be out buying judgesnd jury members right now to make sure that you spend the rest of your life in prison . alistair crane does not forgive and forget . katherine : i know . sam : sheridan , you 're right , but i have the court order right here . sheridan : and this is all legit ? sam : yeah . i do n't know why he dropped the charges against her , but he d never let that slide . i mean , he would be out buying judges and jury members right now to make sure that you spend the rest of your life in prison . alistair crane does not forgive and forget . katherine : i know . sam : rance ? i 've seen it . you know , my father built it . i 've seen it , like , a million times , and i 've never seen anything there that would explain as to why he left harmony . martin : because you did n't know what to look for . luis : huh . oh , my god . martin : it 's gone . gwen : theresa changed her mind . honey , she 's going to have the procedure . i mean , both our babies -- we 're not going to lose both our babies after all . eve : gwen , as i told theresa , there 's no guarantee that the remaining fetus is going to survive . gwen : but at least there 's a chance . i mean , at least we have some hope now . ethan : are you sure she 's willing to go through with it ? eve : yes , and it was n't an easy decision for her . gwen : well , it was not an easy decision for any of us . i mean , we 're the ones who are going to lose one of our precious babies , but at least n one of them has a chance to survive . eve : the only chance that it has . i 'm going to prep theresa . i 'll keep you posted . gwen : ok , thank you . ok , um , i do n't even know what to say because i am really embarrassed right now . i should 've trusted you and i did n't , and said some really -- some really horrible things and i accused you of really horrible things , but you know it was because i was just frightened that we were going to lose both of the babies and i was completely hysterical and i did n't know what i was saying . i mean , you were completely right , and it seems like you knew what you were doing the whole time , right ? you just -- you played to her , used reverse psychology , and you led her to the right decision . ethan : look , i would n't go that far , gwen . i just -- gwen : honey , i mean , do n't even be modest about it , because it was brilliant . you played her just like you would a jury , and i am just really , really , really sorry for jumping to conclusions . i mean , i acted like a crazy person , and i should have just trusted that you were doing what you needed to do to bring theresa around . is there any way that you can forgive me here ? sheridan : alistair does not forgive . he 's definitely planning something . there is a reason that he had these charges dropped . he certainly did n't do it out of the goodness of his heart because that would imply that he had one , which he doesn't . so we 've got to figure out his motive . what would my father gain by having you set free ? katherine : i do n't know . but you 're right , it must be something . sam : look , you can try to second - guess alistair for the rest of your lives , but you 'll never be able to figure out what goes on inside that sick mind of his , or why he does anything that he does . you 'll just drive yourselves crazy -- which could be the point of all this . sheridan : oh , no , that 's much too subtle for my father . sam : look , the point is just be grateful that you 've been set free , all right ? enjoy that . now , go on . resume your life . just remember , keep your guard up . katherine : yeah . sheridan : sam 's right . the important thing is that you 're free . we 'll just have to figure out my father 's plans later . luis : what the hell happened ? martin : damn that alistair . alistair : i thought i heard trespassers . you 're lucky i did n't have my gun . luis : what happened here ? where the hell is the gazebo ? alistair : oh , i just thought i 'd change the landscape a bit . luis : at this hour of the night ? huh ? you left the hospital for this ? alistair : i was inspired . and some of your people do n't object to a little hard work , even late at night . luis : no . no , this had nothing to do with landscaping . my father built that gazebo , and you had no right to tear it down . alistair : i have the right to do whatever i want with my property -- with all of my property . the fact of the matter is that gazebo was very shabbily built . it might easily have hurt someone . just one big lawsuit waiting to happen . luis : oh , yeah . yeah , i 'll bet it was . so why 'd you really destroy it ? why 'd you come out here in the middle of the night and do this ? alistair : i do n't owe you an explanation . luis : this has something to do with my father , does n't it ? i 'll tell you something , i want to know what the hell is going on here . gwen : you know theresa 's always pushed my buttons , and i was so overwhelmed with the fear that we were going to lose both of the babies , honey , i just lashed out . i really did n't even know what i was saying . can you please forgive me ? i love you so much , and i know that you love me and i know that you would never put theresa before our children . ethan : i understand . i mean , we 've both been on an emotional roller coaster lately . there 's -- there 's nothing to forgive . it 's ok . gwen : thank you . ethan : it 's all right . gwen : you do know what this means , right ? that our dream of having children just might come true ? ethan : yeah , it could . i mean , dr . russell said there 's no guarantee still , but -- gwen : i know , but at least we have a chance . ethan : yeah . gwen : i want to go call my mother and give her the good news , ok ? ethan : that 's a good idea . gwen : ok . theresa : so , dr . russell , how long do i have to wait ? eve : they 're prepping the room right now , honey , and then you 're going to have to sign a surgical consent form . you 're certain you want to do this ? theresa : i 'm certain . ethan : i was hoping you had a moment ? eve : i 'll go check and see when the room 's going to be ready . theresa : so i guess dr . russell told youhat i 'm going to go through with it , hmm ? ethan : yeah , she did . that 's why i 'm here . theresa : to thank me ? ethan : to ask you why . what happened ? why 'd you change your mind ? luis : so why 'd you do it , alistair ? why 'd you tear down the gazebo , huh ? alistair : why do you think it 's any of your business ? luis : because my father built it . alistair : and some cuban rolled my cigar , but i do n't have to consult with his son before i smoke it . luis : you 're not going to get away with this , you know . alistair : get away with what ? luis : something 's going on here , something that has to do with my father . i 'm not going to rest till i find out what it is . yeah . alistair : it 's pathetic how easy it is to anticipate you , martin . there is n't even any sport in it . i knew you 'd bring luis here . martin : yeah , well , you can tear down the gazebo , dig up the ground , take it all away , but that wo n't stop the truth from coming out . alistair : yes , it will . martin : i still know what happened . i can divulge it . alistair : go ahead . tell someone . tell anyone . tell everyone . it 's your future you 'll be putting on the line , not mine . martin : you 're wrong . it 's both our futures . we 're in this together . alistair : you have no proof of that . it 's gone . it 's disappeared . but if you still feel the need to step forward as a good citizen , feel free . tell luis you 're his father . tell him the real reason why you left harmony . i 'll enjoy sitting back and watching that information destroy both your lives . there she goes ethan : i really need an answer . i mean , what happened ? why 'd you decide to go through with it ? i need to know . theresa : you . you made me change my mind , ethan . i thought about everything you said , and i realized that i have to do what i can to save one of my babies . ethan : look , i know this is n't easy for you . you know ? theresa : no , it isn't . but there 's nothing i can do . ethan : even though it goes against the church ? are you ok with that ? are you really ok with that ? theresa : well , i have to be . maybe if i repent my sins , i wo n't go to hell . of course , dealing with mama 's going to be another story . you know , ethan , i think that god would n't want these babies to die if one could live . because god is loving and he values life . and that 's what i 'm doing . i 'm valuing a life . so it 's the right thing . ethan : thesa , i know this is an enormous sacrifice for you , and all i can say is thank you . thank you . it means a lot . it means a lot to me . theresa : does it ? ethan : yes , it does . and it means a lot to gwen , too . theresa : well , you 're welcome . ethan : all right . i 'll see you after the procedure . theresa : i wonder if you 'll still be thanking me tomorrow . sheridan : so does she have to sign anything or do anything ? sam : no , no . we just have to get her her personal belongings , and she 's free to go . sheridan : great . then while you do that , i 'll go get the car . katherine : thank you . sheridan : i 'll be back in a few minutes . thanks , sam . sam : i did n't do anything . sam : mrs. wheeler , what i said before about keeping your guard up -- katherine : yes ? sam : i was serious . i did n't want to make a big deal about it in front of sheridan because she 's been through so much already with her father . now , i know he killed antonio , and he tried to kill her and luis . katherine : well , then why is he out walking around ? sam : because there 's never been any evidence . but i 've lived in harmony my whole life , and one thing i can assure you is alistair crane never does anyone any favors -- not unless he has something to gain and not unless there are strings attached . katherine : i 've heard that . sam : and as sheridan said before , he does n't forgive . so i 'm sure she 's right . he 's definitely planning something . my guess is that dropping the charges against you figures into it . now , you tried to kill him twice , ok ? he wo n't forget that . katherine : no , he won't . sam : i think he dropped the charges against you because he decided he could punish you in worse ways than the courts could . katherine : mm - hmm . sam : mrs. wheeler , i 'll do everything i can to protect you , but you have to be vigilant , you have to watch your back , because one way or another , alistair 's going to try to exact his revenge . katherine : maybe he already has . sam : what do you mean ? alistair : what are you waiting for , martin ? do n't let me stand in your way . do whatever your good catholic conscience says you must do . divulge your identity , confess what you did . confess the real reason why you built this gazebo . tell luis what 's buried beneath it . tell the whole damn world . martin : no , it 's what we did , alistair , what we buried beneath the gazebo . alistair : is it ? you have no proof of that . you have no proof anything ever happened . just your word , the word of a man who abandoned his family and ran off with another man 's rich wife . you have nothing to back up any allegations you might make . luis : it 's all gone . there 's not a splinter of wood , a chip of paint . there 's nothing . it 's like it never even existed . alistair : maybe it didn't . luis : oh , it did , yeah . boy , something about this gazebo really had you worried , huh , alistair ? alistair : did it ? luis : yeah . for you to race out of your hospital bed in the middle of the night and have it removed without a trace ? you were really frightened , huh ? alistair : while i was lying in that hospital bed , recovering from the attempts on my life , i had plenty of time to think . i 'm told it 's quite common to want to make changes after a near - death experience . luis : yeah , not in landscaping . you know , there 's something else going on here , and you know it and i know it . and you know something else ? well , i was brought here to see something , brought to the gazebo to learn something about my father , and , well , now there 's nothing but a pile of dirt . alistair : well , luis , if you were still on the police force , you could launch an investigation into all the missing garden furniture in harmony . but you 're not , are you ? those days are gone . you lost your job , luis . pity . luis : yeah , well , i do n't have to be a cop to know that there 's something going on here , and i intend to find out what it is . you need to tell me what you wanted me to see here and what it is that you really know about my father . now , you tell me , damn it , and you tell me now . whitney : what i have to tell you , it 's important and it affects us . fox : nothing that you say or do could change my opinion of you . paloma : i 'm leaving harmony for good , as soon as i can . pilar : oh , god . what are you planning to do now ?
martin and katherine both told their children they had known their long - lost parents , and related stories about them . they both wanted to reveal their true identities . martin took luis to the gazebo on the crane estate to show him what was buried there so he could explain why he had left and not contacted anyone , but when they arrived , the gazebo was gone and the ground was dug up . katherine tried to tell sheridan she is her mother , but sam came in with the news that alistair had dropped the charges and she could go home .
<s>[INST] sheridan : you have told me more about my mother than i ever dreamed of knowing . and now you tell me that this is only the beginning , that there 's more for you tell me ? katherine : well , yes , sheridan , there is more . martin : sweetheart , i 'm sorry , but i could n't let you tell sheridan that you 're her mother . katherine : i know i should n't , but i ca n't lie to you , martin -- i do n't know if i can keep quiet . it 's sheridan . it 's my baby girl . she 's here , back after all these years . all i want to do is take her in my arms and hold her , comfort her , wipe away all her tears , wipe away all that pain , let her know that her mother is not dead , not entombed in that crane mausoleum , that she 's alive and that i am her mother . there 's so much more for you to know , sheridan . so much more . sheridan : what is it ? please tell me . tell me everything . i want to know . luis : after all these years of not knowing what happened to my father , to find out that he did n't leave by his own choice -- i 'll tell you , it changes everything . all the anger that i 've had towards him all these years , and for you to tell me that he 's still alive -- you got to tell me everything . i need to know everything , mr . wheeler . martin : and i will , i promise . that 's why i brought you here to the crane estate . luis : yeah , well , i do n't understand why you did n't just tell me everything back at the hospital . martin : because it 's complicated . i 'd rather -- i 'd rather show it to you , let you see it all with your own eyes than try to explain -- luis : see what , though ? see what ? i do n't understand . martin : but you will , i promise . soon , everything will become clear . martin : i just hope when it does , when the truth comes out , you 'll be able to understand why i did what i did and forgive me . gwen : how could you do this to me , ethan ? how ? ethan : gwen , stop it ! calm down . gwen : i 'm not going to calm down ! ethan : listen , i 'll explain it to you outside . come here . gwen : what are you going to explain to me ? i know what i heard . ethan : you came in on the tail end of a conversation . i was just trying to get her to go through with termination , all right ? gwen : well , did you ? ethan : no , not yet . gwen : no , of course you didn't . otherwise , you would not be leaving the decision up to her . ethan , she hates me ! you know that she hates me . she is going to kill our babies because she hates me ! she 's never forgiven me for winning you back after she stole you away ! she is ruthless , and you know that ! and now -- now , because she ca n't have you , ethan , now she 's going to kill our babies ! ethan : gwen , she -- listen , i was begging her to go through with this procedure so we could at least save one of the babies . gwen : well , that would entail theresa actually thinking of someone other than herself , and you and i both know that she 's not capable of that . it is not even in her to think of anyone other than herself ! ethan : i think she is desperately trying to do the right thing here . gwen : oh , the right thing ? you know what , ethan , i had a dream , but i know it was a premonition . i dreamt that theresa did n't go through with the procedure , and you know what happened ? both babies died ! both of my babies died because of that little slut ! ethan : gwen , it was a dream ! gwen : you know what ? it 's coming true ! because here you are , you are putting theresa first , just like you always put her first ! you are telling her to do what she thinks is best ? what about me , what i think is best ? ethan : gwen , please -- gwen : `` please `` what ? i mean , does it matter what i want at all ? do you care about what i want ? ethan : of course i do . she 's uncomfortable with this , ok ? we have got to be sensitive to her religious beliefs , gwen . gwen : when push comes to shove , you always put theresa first . ethan : that is not true . gwen : ethan , i do n't even want to hear any more of your excuses , ok , because i know what i heard . she decided that she did n't want to go through with the procedure , and you said , `` ok . `` you gave her permission to condemn both of our babies to death rather than save one of them . how could you do that ? what the hell were you thinking ? ethan : honey , you have to calm down . you were sick a little while ago . please calm down . gwen : ethan , these are our babies we 're talking about . how dare you tell theresa that it 's ok that she does n't do everything necessary to save one of their lives ! you just do n't want her to do anything that makes her uncomfortable ! ethan : i did n't say that ! gwen : how can you put theresa 's feelings above the lives of our babies and over me ? ethan : if you would calm down for a second , i would explain -- gwen : ethan , how am i supposed to calm down after what you 've done here ? i am never going to forgive you for this ! eve : hi , honey . i got here as soon as i could . so , have you come to some decision about the babies ? theresa : yeah . i made my decision . and there 's nothing anyone can say that 's going to make me change my mind . singer : i would hold the hand of the one who could lead me places and kiss the lips of the one who could sing so sweet and i would fly on the wings of the bird i knew could take me highest breathe in , breathe out you keep me alive you are the fire burning inside of me you are my passion for life luis : i still do n't understand . what could you possibly show me on the crane estate that 's going to help me understand what happened to my father ? alistair : building this gazebo was a stroke of genius . it will never raise even the slightest suspicion . it will appear to be simply a beautiful gift to my family , a place where the cranes can enjoy parties and picnics for generations to come . even after i 'm gone , this gazebo will remain . martin : and so will the secret that 's buried beneath it . alistair : as it must . no one can ever know the truth , martin . martin : but you know it and i know it . every time i look at this gazebo , it 'll be a reminder of what we 've done . alistair : exactly . which is why it was so important to me that you be the one to build it . i wanted your role in all of this to be firmly embedded in your mind and in your soul . this gazebo will stand as a tangible reminder , something for you to look at every day . so if you ever should weaken , if you even think of confessing or revealing the truth , you can look at this gazebo and know that that is utterly and completely out of the question . because if you ever tell anyone what we did , you 'll destroy not only your own life , but the lives of everyone you love . martin 's voice : their lives have been destroyed , anyway . i ca n't live under alistair 's threats any longer . i won't . it 's cost me too much . it 's time the truth was told , no matter what the repercussions . martin : be patient , luis . we 're almost there . luis : almost where ? martin : you 'll see . come on , it 's this way . sheridan : i want you to tell me everything that you know about my mother . i want to know everything . i was so young when she died . i have memories of her , but they 're so limited , just moments here and there , fragments . but your stories -- you 've helped bring her back to life for me . you 've reawakened memories that i did n't even realize that i have . so if you could please tell me everything that you know , every little detail , no matter how trivial or insignificant it might seem to you . katherine : i want to tell you everything , sheridan . i want to share everything with you . sam : sorry to interrupt . sheridan : i do n't have to leave just yet , do i ? sam : no . i have some important news for you . it seems that alistair crane has had a change of heart . sheridan : what do you mean ? sam : he 's dropped all the charges against you . katherine : what ? sam : you 're free to go . gwen : i have sat by time after time after time as you have rushed to theresa 's side . i am your wife , ethan , but theresa 's the one who always comes first . you are always so concerned with doing what 's best for theresa , alws so concerned about not wanting to hurt her feelings . ethan : that is not true . gwen : and , you know , i 've put up with it . i have , not happily , that 's for sure , but i have . but this time you 've gone too far because not only have you put your concern for her above me , you 've put it above the lives of our babies . ethan : no , i did not do that . gwen : do n't make it worse by lying , because i heard you plain as day . you told theresa that you understand if she does n't do everything necessary to save one of our babies ' lives . it is unforgivable . it 's unconscionable . you know how much those babies mean to me . ethan : they mean just as much to me . gwen : obviously not . ethan : listen , you -- honey , you need to calm down . you know what the doctor said about you getting upset . you need to calm down . please . gwen : you know what theresa did to me in los angeles . not only did she make me lose sarah , but that fall damaged my ovaries so badly that i can never conceive again , and that is my only chance to have a child of my own . i mean , do you love me at all here ? ethan : come on , of course i do . gwen : you know what i went through when we lost sarah , and you know that i told you that i will not be able to survive if we lose both of these babies , too , and armed with all of that , what do you say to theresa ? you tell her that it 's ok that both of our babies die . `` it 's ok , theresa . it 's ok to devastate gwen . it 's ok to rip the dream away from her forever of becoming a mother . but you know what , thesa ? you do whatever you want . as long as you 're happy and you 're not uncomfortable , theresa , you do whatever you want , because that 's really all that matters , right ? `` ethan : that is so not true . gwen : i hate you . i hate you so much for putting theresa first again . eve : i so know what you 're going through , honey . even though these are n't technically your children , all surrogates bond with the babies that they 're carrying to one degree or another . they fall in love with them . they want what 's best for them . so i know how awful it is for you to be told the babies you 're carrying that you love are going to die unless they have this procedure . theresa : but it means taking the life of one of these unborn babies . eve : this is a hard decision for any woman , theresa . i ca n't ask you to go against your beliefs . just as your doctor , i 'm obligated to present all the options to you . but in the end , only you can make the decision . theresa : i know . i have . ( executive ) so does anybody have anything else to add ? luis : you said that alistair crane had something to do with my father 's disappearance . is that why we 're here ? martin : all i can do is show you the facts . how you interpret them is up to you . luis : sounds so mysterious . martin : come on , it 's that way . martin : god , forgive me . forgive me for what i 've done , for what i 'm about to do . i have no choice . i have to abandon my family . it 's the only way to save them . i have to leave harmony to protect them . otherwise , alistair will make good on his threats and destroy them . i just pray the secret that 's buried here , along with what i 've done , will remain here , buried in this gazebo for all eternity . martin : i was wrong . this terrible secret ca n't stay buried . it 's time for the truth to finally be known . only then can my son and my family understand why i did what i did , why i had to leave them . ethan : honey , i am not putting theresa ahead of you or ahead of our babies . gwen : yes , you are , and i 'm sick of it . ethan : try putting yourself in her position for just one second . gwen : why do n't you tell theresa to put herself in my shoes for a second ? ethan : honey , honey , think about the enormity of what we 're asking her to do now . gwen : we are asking her to save the life of one of our babies , ethan . ethan : honey , we are asking her to go against what she and the church believe is god 's law . we are asking her to put her very soul on the line by taking the lives of one of those unborn babies . gwen : is n't it better to sacrifice one than to let both of them die ? ethan : the church says that it is god 's law to make that decision . gwen : save the life of one of our babies , ethan . ethan : honey , we are asking her to go against what she and the church believe is god 's law . we are asking her to put her very soul on the line by taki can't . gwen : well , i really do n't care about theresa 's beliefs . where were theresa 's beliefs when she killed sarah ? where were theresa 's beliefs when she seduced another woman 's husband ? where the hell were theresa 's beliefs when she knocked out our surrogate and tricked the doctors into implanting her with our embryo ? as far as i 'm concerned , theresa and her beliefs can go to hell . ethan : you do n't mean that . gwen : i do mean that . the only thing that i care about right now is saving one of our babies , ethan , ok ? i 'm going to do whatever it takes to save one of them . why can you not understand that ? ethan : of course i understand that ! i 'm the father , gwen ! of course i understand it . you do n't think i want to do everything i can to save either one of them , to have one of them to hold , to love , to grow up with ? gwen : that 's why we need to force her to do this , ok , and then if she decides she does n't want to do it , then we just maybe need to take a lesson from what she did to heather . we can just knock her out and have it done anyway . ethan : all right , all right , gwen , stop . i understand . i understand wanting to do everything we can to make sure one of these babies survives . i also understand theresa 's position in feeling uncomfortable with this . as painful as it is , we got to respect it . we have to . gwen : you and theresa can both go to hell . ethan : oh , gwen . gwen , please -- gwen : do n't even come near me , because i am done , ok ? i am finished with you always putting theresa first . i am not going to stand for you always putting theresa first anymore ! ethan : that is not what i am doing . gwen : yes , it is what you are doing ! i 'm looking at your actions , and over and over again , they put the lie to your words . ethan : that is not true . gwen : i 'm done . ok ? just go to her . just -- you can have her , because i 'm done . i 've already lost sarah , i 've lost the ability to get pregnant , and now i 'm going to lose my only chance to ever have my own child . and who 's responsible for all of it ? it 's theresa . and what do you do ? do you stand by my side ? do you support me ? what does my husband do ? no , you rush to theresa 's side again ! ethan : i did not -- gwen : don'even try to deny it because you would n't do it if you did n't still love her . ethan : i don't . i love you . you 're my wife and i love you . gwen : well , your wife is sick of coming in second . your wife is through with you always choosing theresa . ethan : i did n't choose her ! i did n't marry her ! i married you ! gwen : and you have obviously always regretted it . so now you can undo it , ok , because i 'm done . i 'm just -- i 'm done , ethan . i 'm through with you . this marriage is over . eve : sohat have you decided ? ethan : think about it . you can either deliberately let two little souls go and -- and die . or you could give birth to one beautiful , healthy little baby . you can watch that baby grow . you can watch that baby mature and have a meaningful life . it 's all up to you . theresa : i 'm going to let you do it . i 'm going to sacrifice one of these precious souls to save the other . some work involved ... singer : you are my passion for life eve : you 're positive that you want to have this procedure ? theresa : yes . may god forgive me , but i have to save one of these babies . i ca n't let them both die , even if it means committing a mortal sin . eve : honey , you do understand that there 's no guarantee that the remaining fetus will survive ? theresa : well , i have to at least try , do n't i ? eve : only you can answer that . that 's why i 'm going to ask you again . are you sure you want to have this procedure ? because once it 's done , we ca n't go back . theresa : yes . dr. russell , can we do this as fast as possible , because i do n't want to think about it anymore , ok ? i do n't want to talk about it . eve : i 'll go and get things started , ok ? theresa : thank you . ethan : you ca n't say that . you ca n't mean that . you do n't want to just walk away from our marriage , gwen . come on . gwen : ethan , you have left me with no choice . i mean , nothing 's ever going to change . this ridiculous triangle 's going to never stop . it 's always going to be me chasing you chasing theresa , and i refuse to spend the rest of my life that way . ethan : i 'm not -- i 'm not asking you to . gwen : yeah , you are . despite what you say , ethan , no matter what happens , you 're always going to put her first . ethan : that 's not true . gwen : yes , it is . it 's always been true and it always will be true , and you just proved it by putting theresa 's happiness and comfort level above our babies ' lives . ethan : gw -- eve : i need a procedure room set up immediately . theresa lopez - fitzgerald has decided to go ahead . nurse : i think room d is available . i 'll go check . gwen : eve , did i just hear what you said ? did you -- theresa agreed to have the procedure ? eve : yes , and she wants to have it done immediately . gwen : oh , my god ! ethan , did you hear ? theresa agreed to have the procedure ! she 's going to try and save one of our babies . katherine : alistair crane dropped the charges ? all of them ? there must be some mistake . sam : no mistake . i 've got the paperwork right here . you 're free to go . sheridan : wait , something 's not right here , sam . you know my father . he would never do this . i mean , when someone has crossed him , if he even imagines that someone 's crossed him , he does n't sleep until he 's exacted his revenge . he makes them pay two eyes for an eye . sam : i know that all too well . sheridan : so why did he drop the charges against mrs . wheeler ? sam : i have no idea . sheridan : i mean , do n't get me wrong , i want you out of here , but you did try to kill my father , twice . he would never let that slide . i mean , he would be out buying judgesnd jury members right now to make sure that you spend the rest of your life in prison . alistair crane does not forgive and forget . katherine : i know . sam : sheridan , you 're right , but i have the court order right here . sheridan : and this is all legit ? sam : yeah . i do n't know why he dropped the charges against her , but he d never let that slide . i mean , he would be out buying judges and jury members right now to make sure that you spend the rest of your life in prison . alistair crane does not forgive and forget . katherine : i know . sam : rance ? i 've seen it . you know , my father built it . i 've seen it , like , a million times , and i 've never seen anything there that would explain as to why he left harmony . martin : because you did n't know what to look for . luis : huh . oh , my god . martin : it 's gone . gwen : theresa changed her mind . honey , she 's going to have the procedure . i mean , both our babies -- we 're not going to lose both our babies after all . eve : gwen , as i told theresa , there 's no guarantee that the remaining fetus is going to survive . gwen : but at least there 's a chance . i mean , at least we have some hope now . ethan : are you sure she 's willing to go through with it ? eve : yes , and it was n't an easy decision for her . gwen : well , it was not an easy decision for any of us . i mean , we 're the ones who are going to lose one of our precious babies , but at least n one of them has a chance to survive . eve : the only chance that it has . i 'm going to prep theresa . i 'll keep you posted . gwen : ok , thank you . ok , um , i do n't even know what to say because i am really embarrassed right now . i should 've trusted you and i did n't , and said some really -- some really horrible things and i accused you of really horrible things , but you know it was because i was just frightened that we were going to lose both of the babies and i was completely hysterical and i did n't know what i was saying . i mean , you were completely right , and it seems like you knew what you were doing the whole time , right ? you just -- you played to her , used reverse psychology , and you led her to the right decision . ethan : look , i would n't go that far , gwen . i just -- gwen : honey , i mean , do n't even be modest about it , because it was brilliant . you played her just like you would a jury , and i am just really , really , really sorry for jumping to conclusions . i mean , i acted like a crazy person , and i should have just trusted that you were doing what you needed to do to bring theresa around . is there any way that you can forgive me here ? sheridan : alistair does not forgive . he 's definitely planning something . there is a reason that he had these charges dropped . he certainly did n't do it out of the goodness of his heart because that would imply that he had one , which he doesn't . so we 've got to figure out his motive . what would my father gain by having you set free ? katherine : i do n't know . but you 're right , it must be something . sam : look , you can try to second - guess alistair for the rest of your lives , but you 'll never be able to figure out what goes on inside that sick mind of his , or why he does anything that he does . you 'll just drive yourselves crazy -- which could be the point of all this . sheridan : oh , no , that 's much too subtle for my father . sam : look , the point is just be grateful that you 've been set free , all right ? enjoy that . now , go on . resume your life . just remember , keep your guard up . katherine : yeah . sheridan : sam 's right . the important thing is that you 're free . we 'll just have to figure out my father 's plans later . luis : what the hell happened ? martin : damn that alistair . alistair : i thought i heard trespassers . you 're lucky i did n't have my gun . luis : what happened here ? where the hell is the gazebo ? alistair : oh , i just thought i 'd change the landscape a bit . luis : at this hour of the night ? huh ? you left the hospital for this ? alistair : i was inspired . and some of your people do n't object to a little hard work , even late at night . luis : no . no , this had nothing to do with landscaping . my father built that gazebo , and you had no right to tear it down . alistair : i have the right to do whatever i want with my property -- with all of my property . the fact of the matter is that gazebo was very shabbily built . it might easily have hurt someone . just one big lawsuit waiting to happen . luis : oh , yeah . yeah , i 'll bet it was . so why 'd you really destroy it ? why 'd you come out here in the middle of the night and do this ? alistair : i do n't owe you an explanation . luis : this has something to do with my father , does n't it ? i 'll tell you something , i want to know what the hell is going on here . gwen : you know theresa 's always pushed my buttons , and i was so overwhelmed with the fear that we were going to lose both of the babies , honey , i just lashed out . i really did n't even know what i was saying . can you please forgive me ? i love you so much , and i know that you love me and i know that you would never put theresa before our children . ethan : i understand . i mean , we 've both been on an emotional roller coaster lately . there 's -- there 's nothing to forgive . it 's ok . gwen : thank you . ethan : it 's all right . gwen : you do know what this means , right ? that our dream of having children just might come true ? ethan : yeah , it could . i mean , dr . russell said there 's no guarantee still , but -- gwen : i know , but at least we have a chance . ethan : yeah . gwen : i want to go call my mother and give her the good news , ok ? ethan : that 's a good idea . gwen : ok . theresa : so , dr . russell , how long do i have to wait ? eve : they 're prepping the room right now , honey , and then you 're going to have to sign a surgical consent form . you 're certain you want to do this ? theresa : i 'm certain . ethan : i was hoping you had a moment ? eve : i 'll go check and see when the room 's going to be ready . theresa : so i guess dr . russell told youhat i 'm going to go through with it , hmm ? ethan : yeah , she did . that 's why i 'm here . theresa : to thank me ? ethan : to ask you why . what happened ? why 'd you change your mind ? luis : so why 'd you do it , alistair ? why 'd you tear down the gazebo , huh ? alistair : why do you think it 's any of your business ? luis : because my father built it . alistair : and some cuban rolled my cigar , but i do n't have to consult with his son before i smoke it . luis : you 're not going to get away with this , you know . alistair : get away with what ? luis : something 's going on here , something that has to do with my father . i 'm not going to rest till i find out what it is . yeah . alistair : it 's pathetic how easy it is to anticipate you , martin . there is n't even any sport in it . i knew you 'd bring luis here . martin : yeah , well , you can tear down the gazebo , dig up the ground , take it all away , but that wo n't stop the truth from coming out . alistair : yes , it will . martin : i still know what happened . i can divulge it . alistair : go ahead . tell someone . tell anyone . tell everyone . it 's your future you 'll be putting on the line , not mine . martin : you 're wrong . it 's both our futures . we 're in this together . alistair : you have no proof of that . it 's gone . it 's disappeared . but if you still feel the need to step forward as a good citizen , feel free . tell luis you 're his father . tell him the real reason why you left harmony . i 'll enjoy sitting back and watching that information destroy both your lives . there she goes ethan : i really need an answer . i mean , what happened ? why 'd you decide to go through with it ? i need to know . theresa : you . you made me change my mind , ethan . i thought about everything you said , and i realized that i have to do what i can to save one of my babies . ethan : look , i know this is n't easy for you . you know ? theresa : no , it isn't . but there 's nothing i can do . ethan : even though it goes against the church ? are you ok with that ? are you really ok with that ? theresa : well , i have to be . maybe if i repent my sins , i wo n't go to hell . of course , dealing with mama 's going to be another story . you know , ethan , i think that god would n't want these babies to die if one could live . because god is loving and he values life . and that 's what i 'm doing . i 'm valuing a life . so it 's the right thing . ethan : thesa , i know this is an enormous sacrifice for you , and all i can say is thank you . thank you . it means a lot . it means a lot to me . theresa : does it ? ethan : yes , it does . and it means a lot to gwen , too . theresa : well , you 're welcome . ethan : all right . i 'll see you after the procedure . theresa : i wonder if you 'll still be thanking me tomorrow . sheridan : so does she have to sign anything or do anything ? sam : no , no . we just have to get her her personal belongings , and she 's free to go . sheridan : great . then while you do that , i 'll go get the car . katherine : thank you . sheridan : i 'll be back in a few minutes . thanks , sam . sam : i did n't do anything . sam : mrs. wheeler , what i said before about keeping your guard up -- katherine : yes ? sam : i was serious . i did n't want to make a big deal about it in front of sheridan because she 's been through so much already with her father . now , i know he killed antonio , and he tried to kill her and luis . katherine : well , then why is he out walking around ? sam : because there 's never been any evidence . but i 've lived in harmony my whole life , and one thing i can assure you is alistair crane never does anyone any favors -- not unless he has something to gain and not unless there are strings attached . katherine : i 've heard that . sam : and as sheridan said before , he does n't forgive . so i 'm sure she 's right . he 's definitely planning something . my guess is that dropping the charges against you figures into it . now , you tried to kill him twice , ok ? he wo n't forget that . katherine : no , he won't . sam : i think he dropped the charges against you because he decided he could punish you in worse ways than the courts could . katherine : mm - hmm . sam : mrs. wheeler , i 'll do everything i can to protect you , but you have to be vigilant , you have to watch your back , because one way or another , alistair 's going to try to exact his revenge . katherine : maybe he already has . sam : what do you mean ? alistair : what are you waiting for , martin ? do n't let me stand in your way . do whatever your good catholic conscience says you must do . divulge your identity , confess what you did . confess the real reason why you built this gazebo . tell luis what 's buried beneath it . tell the whole damn world . martin : no , it 's what we did , alistair , what we buried beneath the gazebo . alistair : is it ? you have no proof of that . you have no proof anything ever happened . just your word , the word of a man who abandoned his family and ran off with another man 's rich wife . you have nothing to back up any allegations you might make . luis : it 's all gone . there 's not a splinter of wood , a chip of paint . there 's nothing . it 's like it never even existed . alistair : maybe it didn't . luis : oh , it did , yeah . boy , something about this gazebo really had you worried , huh , alistair ? alistair : did it ? luis : yeah . for you to race out of your hospital bed in the middle of the night and have it removed without a trace ? you were really frightened , huh ? alistair : while i was lying in that hospital bed , recovering from the attempts on my life , i had plenty of time to think . i 'm told it 's quite common to want to make changes after a near - death experience . luis : yeah , not in landscaping . you know , there 's something else going on here , and you know it and i know it . and you know something else ? well , i was brought here to see something , brought to the gazebo to learn something about my father , and , well , now there 's nothing but a pile of dirt . alistair : well , luis , if you were still on the police force , you could launch an investigation into all the missing garden furniture in harmony . but you 're not , are you ? those days are gone . you lost your job , luis . pity . luis : yeah , well , i do n't have to be a cop to know that there 's something going on here , and i intend to find out what it is . you need to tell me what you wanted me to see here and what it is that you really know about my father . now , you tell me , damn it , and you tell me now . whitney : what i have to tell you , it 's important and it affects us . fox : nothing that you say or do could change my opinion of you . paloma : i 'm leaving harmony for good , as soon as i can . pilar : oh , god . what are you planning to do now ?Summarize.[/INST]martin and katherine both told their children they had known their long - lost parents , and related stories about them . they both wanted to reveal their true identities . martin took luis to the gazebo on the crane estate to show him what was buried there so he could explain why he had left and not contacted anyone , but when they arrived , the gazebo was gone and the ground was dug up . katherine tried to tell sheridan she is her mother , but sam came in with the news that alistair had dropped the charges and she could go home .</s>

theresa : so why was i let out of my cell ? do i have a visitor ? guard : no . got your stuff . theresa : got my stuff ? guard : your possessions . you can take them with you . theresa : no , wait , where am i going ? because my lawyer did n't tell me anything about being transferred . guard : you made bail . theresa : ok , what ? guard : i 'm as shocked as you are , sugar pie . i figured you were going to rot away in here . but your bail was posted this morning , paperwork 's finished . you 're free to go -- at least for now . theresa : oh , god , i do n't believe this . who would have come up with bail for me ? fox . oh , fox ! thank you ! this is so wonderful ! thank you so much ! oh , god , how did you come up with that kind of money ? fox : um , actually -- theresa : sheridan . i -- well , i thought all your assets were frozen . sheridan : yeah , well , it was n't exactly my money . let 's just say it was a little gift from the cranes . fox : it 's a gift the rest of our family does n't know about yet , right ? rebecca : well , when did this happen ? i see . look , i want you to find out how this happened , all right ? well , who did it ? call me as soon as you have something . gwen : what happened ? what 's wrong ? rebecca : you are not going to believe this , but someone posted theresa 's bail this morning . she is being released as we speak . gwen : oh , you 've got to be joking . rebecca : i wish i were . ethan : ok , i got some ginger tea and some -- mmm -- plain saltine crackers . cook says it 's good for your stomach . it should help with the nausea , too . gwen : thank you . um , ethan , someone bailed theresa out of jail today . ethan : bailed her out ? gwen : yeah . it -- it was n't you , was it ? ethan : me ? gwen : yeah , please just tell me the truth . you did not post her bail , did you ? ethan : gwen , that is ridiculous . gwen : no , just answer my question . ethan : no , i had nothing to do with her making bail . but to be honest with you , i 'm glad that she did . gw : you are ? ethan : absolutely . she 's lost her job , she 's lost her home , and , even worse , she 's lost her son . as far as i 'm concerned , she has suffered enough . eve : hope i 'm not interrupting . julian : no , no , of course not . you know i 'm always happy to see you . come in . eve : gwen was not feeling well , so i thought i would come by and make sure that she was ok . julian : well , i hope it 's nothing serious . eve : i do n't think so . sometimes the hormone shots can cause discomfort . but i 'm doing some blood tests just to make sure that everything 's ok . julian : ah . there 's something i want to tell you . eve : oh ? about what ? julian : well , i was going to wait until i had something more definite , but since you 're here -- i may have wonderful news . eve : about our son ? julian : i got a clue , i got a lead , and i think i found him . i think i found our son . alistair : we can have a nice , long lunch back at my hotel suite . luis : [ normal voice ] this could be the last chance you get to search alistair 's office from top to bottom . whatever secrets he 's hiding could be in there . but you get caught , you 're dead . singer : i would hold the hand of the one who could lead me places and kiss the lips of the one who could sing so sweet and i would fly on the wings of the bird i knew could take me highest breathe in , breathe out you keep me alive you are the fire burning inside of me you are my passion for life you know the clean , natural freshness you i would find our son this year , and i will . this could be it . eve : and when will we know ? julian : well , my investigator 's going to call back any moment . i 'll let you know as soon as he does . eve : oh , god , please let it be good news . julian : are you going to be around the house for a while ? eve : yes , i 'm waiting for gwen 's test results . julian : i 'll find you as soon as i have word . eve : oh . to thank that my prayers might finally be answered , that we might finally find our son , our child ! oh . whitney : you know , what do you say that we stay here for the rest of the afternoon and evening ? chad : hmm . sounds good . whitney : i do n't want to move , baby . you know , i do n't want to leave your arms ever . chad : that sounds even better . but there 's one small problem , though . whitney : oh , really ? chad : yeah . whitney : what 's that ? chad : food . i mean , at some point , we 're going to have to eat , you know , to keep our strength up . whitney : oh . well , you 're right about that one . chad : yeah . so what do you say i take you out for a late lunch ? whitney : hmm , how about we make it an early dinner ? chad : ooh . you 're on . whitney : ok . [ luis whistles ] luis : [ normal voice ] all right . it has to -- has to be here . it has to be here . luis : certainly no accounting fogood taste . [ luis sighs ] luis : wait a minute . luis : bingo . feels likethe first time ethan : ok , i can tell by the look on both on your faces that you 're not happy about my saying that theresa does n't deserve to be in jail , but i 'm sorry , that 's how i feel . rebecca : so that 's why you posted her bail ? ethan : i just told you , rebecca , i had nothing to do with posting her bail , but i 'm glad that somebody did . gwen : i just ca n't believe this , ethan . i mean , no matter what we 're doing , what we 're planning , or how close i think you and i are , theresa always , always manages to put a wedge between us . it 's like she 's got you under some spell or something . ethan : rebecca , can i have a moment alone with my wife , please ? rebecca : well , gwen is ill . i do n't want to leave her alone now . gwen : mother , i ' fine . just go . ethan : oh , and do me a favor -- do n't eavesdrop in the foyer , all right ? rebecca : what ? well . ethan : look , i do n't want to fight with you . i know you 're not feeling well . gwen : yeah , well , this is making me feel worse . are we ever going to be free of theresa ? ethan : honey , we are free ! we are free of theresa , or at least we would be if you would just let go of this hatred that you have for her . that is what is driving a wedge between us , not my supposed love for her . look , i love you and you 're my wife and i 'm excited about trying to have this baby with you , but that is what we need to focus on , not theresa . and i 'm not going to pretend that her situation does n't bother me ! no matter how you cut it , no matter what you think she 's done , theresa 's a human being , gwen . i do n't want her in our lives , but i do n't want to see her suffer , either ! and if you ca n't understand that , then you do n't know me half as well as you thought you did . gwen : wait . honey , please do n't go . i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry . i 'm just a little out of sorts today . you know , eve said that the hormone injections could do that . ethan : what about everything else ? i mean , how 's your nausea ? gwen : could be that , too . and eve 's doing some more blood work to make sure that that 's all it is , just the effects of the hormone shots . ethan : i do n't want to argue with you . i 'm -- i 'm sorry . i did n't mean to get upset , either . i know you 've been though a lot , as well . just know that i love you . only you . gwen : and i love you , too . honey , i love you very , very much . and i promise -- i promise i will not bring up theresa again . ok ? theresa : the bail money was a gift from the cranes ? ok , what 's that mean ? sheridan : well , father gave me a job at crane industries . it 's just a token position because he does n't have much faith in me . fox : mm - hmm . sheridan : but he put me somewhere where i could do minimal damage -- crane charities . theresa : ok . all right . ok , what 's that have to do with my bail ? sheridan : you just became one of the new crane charities . theresa : me ? really ? fox : well , no , not just you , theresa . it 's other women , also , you know , women like you that are in your position , that are down on their lu a and are in trouble with the legal system and they ca n't help themselves . sheridan : and the charity funds will help out with legal expenses and bail , if necessary . theresa : ok , so this is a real charity ? fox : well , we do n't have a name for it yet . sheridan : or helped anyone else yet . fox : right . well , yeah , but it 's a real charity . i mean , hell , you 're proof of that . sheridan : yeah . fox : the charity posted your bail , theresa . theresa : wow . you guys , this is great news ! thank you , thank you , thank you so much ! fox : sure . theresa : oh , my gosh , thank you . you have no idea how wonderful it feels to o out of that cell ! fox : and we 're going to try to stay out of this and every other cell , right , for a little bit ? theresa : yes . sheridan : well , you know what , i 'd better get back to the office and finish up the paperwork on our new charity ! fox : ok . all right . theresa : thank you again , sheridan . thank you so much . sheridan : you 're so welcome . good luck . theresa : thanks . sheridan : u 're welcome . fox : hey , sheridan ? sheridan : yeah ? fox : listen -- really , thank you . sheridan : hey . anything for love , fox . fox : hmm . theresa : well , i guess we 're off to the russells ' , hmm ? fox : oh , not so fast , young lady , not so fast . i have other plans for you , actually . i brought you a fresh change of clothes . theresa : wow . ok . wait , what are we doing ? fox : well , you 'll just have to wait and see , wo n't you ? after you . theresa : ok . thank you . bbing ] you with a southpaw swing . great champion he is . who could have imagined singer : you are my passion for life theresa : a little while ago , i was in this 8x10 cell , and now i 'm out here with the most incredibly handsome man . i think i 'm feeling really good . fox : gogood . boy : mommy , mommy ! theresa : little ethan ? theresa : i 'm sorry . fox : no , it 's ok . it 's all right . theresa : fox , i am so grateful for everything that you do for me . i really , really am . it 's just , well , the truth is no matter where i am , whether i 'm in jail or i 'm not , i'jujust miserable without my son because he means -- he means everything to me , and i do n't think that i can be happy without him . and now ethan and gwen , they 're going to take him away from me . they 're taking him away from me forever . fox : hey , listen , theresa , um -- i wo n't make any promises or anything , but a lot of things -- a lot of things have happened since you 've been in jail , so i would n't give up hope just yet , ok ? ethan : listen , i heard that theresa was released on bail earlier . you know anything about that ? julian : no , that 's news to me , but i 'm glad to hear it , though . theresa 's many things , but she 's not a criminal . she does n't belong in jail . she 's just a woman desperate to hang on to her child . ethan : you think theresa should have little ethan ? julian : between you and me ? ethan : yeah . julian : yes . she loves that little boy very much and she 's a very good mother . it 's a tragic situation . ethan : but you have the power to give theresa back her son . julian : actually , i do n't , and i 'm going to have to leave it at that right now , so do n't ask me for an explanation . ethan : i won't . but since you ' m made a halfhearted confession , i 'll do likewise . the reason that i want to adopt little ethan is that so when gwen and i become his legal guardians , not you and rebecca , i can drop the charges against theresa and give her back her son . eve : yes . yeah , and thank you so much for having the results so quickly . ok . rebecca : you 're still here ? eve : i was waiting for gwen 's lab results . rebecca : oh , the perfect excuse for you to hang around , hoping to hook up with my husband . eve : i do n't have time for this , rebecca . rebecca : eve , i warned you to stay away from julian . he is mine now , and there is no way in hell that i 'm going to give him back to his former hoochie mama . gwen : eve . hi . have you heard back from the lab yet ? eve : just now , honey . everything is good . your blood work is fine . it 's all good . are you ok , gwen ? you seem a little upset . gwen : i 'm fine , thanks . eve : ok , well , i 'll check in with you later , then . rebecca : gwen , you are -- you are upset . what 's going on ? gwen : yeah , it 's ethan . rebecca : oh , no , he really did post theresa 's bail ? gwen : no , it 's much worse . mother , he did n't want to adopt little ethan for us . he wanted to do it so he can give him back to theresa . eve : i ca n't let rebecca catch me with julian . but i have got to see him and find out if the investigator called . oh , god , please , let it be right this time . let us find our son . sally : have you ordered yet ? chad : oh , we were just getting ready to . sally : allow sally to do it for you . i will tell my chef to prepare our finest delicacies . but first , the love noodle ! whitney : oh , no . thank you , that 's ok . chad : love noodle ? whitney : baby -- sally : yes . a very old tradition from my family brought over from china . it 's a test for the people 's relationship will last or if you are with your true soul mate . whitney : thank you for offering , but that 's ok . theresa and ethan did it at the beginning of their relationship -- do n't you remember ? -- and the love noodle broke and so did their relationship , so i do n't want to do it , ok ? chad : come on , whitney , that was over more than just a noodle . sally : come on , give it a try . i 'll bring you a long noodle . the man starts from one end of it and the lady at the other . they work their way into the middle , and if they meet in a kiss , their love is forever . but if the noodle breaks , the relationship is doomed . whitney : ok , did i not just tell you ? see ? chad : hey , do n't worry . all right , come on , i 'm game if you are . whitney : ok . sally : i 'll be right back . chad : hey , you 're ok with this , are n't you ? whitney : baby , i just ca n't stop thinking about what happened with hahan and theresa . chad : well , it 's going to take a whole lot more than a noodle to come between us , all right ? do n't worry . luis : [ normal voice ] a key lock . well , at least that 's easier than trying to figure out a combination . come on . now , you got secrets hidden in here , alistair . dirty bastard . now , let 's see if i can break into this thing . luis : damn it ! this ai n't going to work . need the key to open this thing . sheridan : what are you doing here ? good afternoon . city police have unveiled a new high tech tool to catch speeders . it 's called moving radar - and it lets police catch drivers both in front and behind them . we 'll show you how it works at five . + + + the city man who nearly killed a young woman after running a red light - and then leaving the scene has been sentenced - but he wo n't be going to jail - we 'll tell you why ... and you 'll hear from the frustrated victim today at five . coke ? ethan : what 's that ? julian : it 's nothing . ethan : `` child search `` ? julian : it 's private . ethan : you 're searching for your own child , are n't you ? oh , my god . you have another child out there , do n't you ? you know , i knew you were -- i knew you were never faithful to my mother , so i do n't know why it would surprise me that you 'd have another son or daughter out there somewhere . considering the amount of whores ththat you 've been with , you could 've sired dozens of children , huh ? julian : you will not speak to me like that . this does not concern you in the least . and the woman is anything but a whore , so you 'll mind your own business . ethan : you 're right . you are right , it 's none of my concern . but it 's interesting . it 's really interesting -- the minute i think that you might have a heart , something serves to remind me of what you 're really like . julian : i do n't find it interesting in the least , so i will just say good day and ask you not to slam the door on your way out . ethan : julian , i appreciate your support -- verbally , anyway -- of what i 'm trying to do for theresa , but let me tell you , my opinion of you still holds . you are nothing but a selfish bastard . 100 % crane . julian : you 're right , ethan , i have been a bastard , but i 'm trying to make up for it for eve . theresa : so what 's happened ? what 's changed ? how is there hope that i can get my son back ? fox : ok . well , it seems that gwen and ethan are using a surrogate to have a child of their own , you know , having some stranger carry their biological child ? theresa : ok , well , that makes sense since gwen ca n't have her own child . fox : yeah , right . ok , so i was just , you know , thinking that once gwen finds out that she 's going to have her own child on the way , she 'll probably be more likely to just let you -- theresa : she -- she wo n't be so determined to take little ethan away from me -- fox : exactly . theresa : because she 's going to have her own child and she 's going to give him back to me . fox : well , she could . theresa : no , this is great ! i mean , this is really great ! i mean , i miss him so much , i wish i could have him back already , but just knowing that ethan and gwen are n't going to go through with the adoption , that 's enough for me . fox : whoa , whoa , but they might still go through with the adoption , though . theresa : no , no , fox , you 're right , once they have a child of their own on the way , they 're going to give me my son back . i just have to be patient . i just have to wait . fox : oh . gwen : i will never allow ethan to give theresa back her son . that is not going to happen . rebecca : well , of course not . i mean , adopting little ethan is the perfect way to get our revenge on theresa for all the pain that she 's caused you . gwen : i just do n't understand . no matter what we do , theresa is always there . she 's like some evil specter just haunting our life . it 's le e she 's enslaved ethan . i mean , every single decision that he makes , it involves her somehow . rebecca : well , that 'll stop soon , you 'll see . gwen : i mean , i just ca n't believe the only reason he wanted to adopt little ethan was to help theresa . it was n't for us , so we could have a child ! it was only to help theresa ! rebecca : but that 's never going to work . theresa is beyond help . i have seen to it that she and the whole rest of her pathetic family have no way to survive in this town . they have no jobs , no home , no money . the only way they can survive is to leave harmony . i say adios , because once theresa leaves harmony , you will never have another problem , and then we will never have to deal with theresa or her whole immigrant clan again . sheridan : it 's you ! luis : [ disguised voice ] yeah . you know , just cleaning the office , you know . sheridan : sure . yeah , fine . i just thought my father was here and you took me by surprise . luis : oh , sorry , ma'am . sheridan : yeah . luis : yes ? sheridan : i -- the -- the heating vent in my office is n't working . could you check it for me ? luis : yeah . that 's not a problem . just give me a second to get all things together . sheridan : sure . luis : [ normal voice ] oh , she senses it 's me . i 'd better be careful . that brainwashing that alistair had doneo o her turned her against me . luis : i got to get the key and get back into that safe . sheridan : my office is this way . luis : [ disguised voice ] everything ok ? sheridan : do i know you ? you just seem so familiar . luis : oh . you know , you 've probably just seen me around the building . sheridan : yeah . yeah , yeah , sure . [ luis chuckles ] sheridan : that must be it . luis : yeah . sheridan : go ahead . luis : ok . theresa : so , gwen wants to have a child so badly , right ? why would n't she ? i mean , she lost sarah , and then she found out that she ca n't have any more children . i mean , that had to be devastating . i mean , i 'm going through the same thing right now , the same pain over having little ethan taken from me . but if gwen and ethan do have a child of their own on the way -- fox : uh - oh . what ? theresa : no , no , no . no , no , no , no , no , fox , this is n't right . this is n't going to work . you know what , this does n't matter . even if gwen has a child with the surrogate , she 's not going to give me my child back . fox : you do n't know that . it could happen . theresa : no , because keeping little ethan is more about gwen taking my child than her having a child . she wants me to suffer . i mean , you see this , right ? fox : yeah , i know , i see it -- theresa : i mean , even if the surrogate gives birth to triplets , it does n't matter because keeping little ethan is gwen 's revenge . she blames me for losing sarah , she blames me for not being able to have any more children , so she wants me to feel the pain that she thinks i 've caused her . fox : theresa ? theresa : huh ? fox : look , you ca n't do this to yourself , ok ? you got to keep hoping . theresa : yeyeah , keep hoping . all right , well , you know , it 's -- it 's getting kind of dark out here , so -- fox : yeah , let 's go . it 's probably going to rain or something . theresa : yeah . it 's -- it 's a sign , fox . the day 's clouding over , just like my hopes of getting my son back . oh , god . fox : oh , boy . luis : [ disguised voice ] there we go . oh , she should work fine now . sheridan : you know what ? i 'm sorry . i -- i apologize for staring . it 's just that i ca n't get over how familiar you seem to me . luis : oh . sheridan : i mean , are you married ? do i maybe know your wife ? luis : no . i 'm not married . i -- i lost the woman i love . sheridan : i am so sorry . did -- did she pass away recently ? luis : no , she 's still alive . she 's just -- well , she 's gone from my life , not my heart . sheridan : you must truly love this woman . luis : yeah , more than anything in the world . you know , she 's the only woman i ever truly loved . you know , everything made sense . and now nothing does . sheridan : that must be so hard . luis : you know , a love like that , itever dies . it 's always -- it 's always there . sheridan : i 'm sorry , i -- i do n't know what 's come over me . please excuse me . luis : [ normal voice ] i do . you 're remembering about us . please remember our love , sheridan . julian : thank you souch . julian : this is it . we found him . [ eve gasps ] eve : oh , my god . oh , julian , this is the news i 've been waiting for for so long ! where is he ? when can we see him ? julian : right now . eve : oh , what ? julian : my man said that our son is at this sally chinn 's chinese restaurant . eve : well , let 's go ! julian : uh , let 's go out the back . sally : ready ? whitney : you know what , not really . baby -- chad : oh , come on , whitney . no way the noodle 's going to break . we 're soul mates . nothing can come between us , especially not some dumb noodle . whitney : well , um -- chad : wh d do you say ? come on , i dare you . meet you in the middle of the noodle ? whitney : all right , fine . chad : all right . whitney : we 'll do it . sally : ready ? whitney : mm - hmm . sally : set . go ! sally : oh , no ! very bad ! the noodle broke in not one but two places ! in all the many years i 've seen people take love noodle test , this has not happened ! whitney : ok -- sally : i 've never seen noodle break twice ! whitney : what does it mean , though ? sally : i 'll bring you your tea . whitney : no , wait ! chad : whoa , wait a second . hey , just tell us what it means . whitney : come on , we have to know . what does it mean ? sally : well , i 'm sorry i have to give you the bad news . it can only mean one thing -- your relationship is not only doomed , but a big tragedy will result from it , as well . whitney : oh , my god . sally : a tragedy from which neither of you will ever recover . i 'm sorry . gwen : he lied to me , mother . i mean , he lied to me . rebecca : gwen , you can not let this get to you . gwen : how can it not ? rebecca : look , if you want my advice , let ethan think th he can give little ethan back to theresa . gwen : but he can and he will . rebecca : no , that 's where you 're wrong . it 'll never happen . look , it 's not just his decision . gwen , once you and ethan adopt little ethan , then he legally becomes both your child and ethan 's . you both have to decide to give the little boy back to his mother . gwen : and there 's no way in this world i am ever going to agree to give little ethan back to theresa . rebecca : well , of course not ! no , and u know that and i know that , but ethan does n't , and that 's how you want to keep it . you do n't want to tell him how you feel . you want to keep the peace for now . let him think he 's actually going to get away with his ridiculous little plan . gwen : i just really hate deceiving my husband . rebecca : well , get over it . you have to . look , i hate to be the one tell you , but he apparently is already deceiving you . gwen : you 're right about that . rebecca : so for now , you are not going to make any waves . you 're going to wait for the right time . and when that time comes , oh , you are going to stand your ground magnificently . gwen : and i will . because there is no way i am ever going to give little ethan back to theresa , so help me , god . theresa : the key 's under the plant . fox : yeah ? theresa : that 's where whitney keeps it . man : excuse me . theresa : yeah ? man : are you theresa lopez - fitzgerald , by any chance ? theresa : yes , that 's me . man : this is for you . theresa : thank you . theresa : you know what ? could you -- could you open this for me , because my luck 's not really good right now , so could you open it for me ? fox : sure , sure . theresa : thanks . thank you . fox : ok . theresa : ok . all right . ok , so what is it ? you can tell me . i 'm ready . fox : um -- well , it 's about little ethan . theresa : yeah ? fox : it 's the adoption hearing , theresa . it 's been moved to tomorrow , so -- theresa : oh , god . sheridan : why did that janitor 's story affect me this way ? why did it upset me so much ? luis : [ normal voice ] part of sheridan does remember our love . and i 'll bet the key to undoing that brainwashing process is in alistair 's safe . along with whonows how many other evil secrets . i got to figure out a way to get back into alistair 's office , get that key , and get into that safe . then i can not only get sheridan back , i 'll take that bastard alistai down for good . alistair : yes , for tonight , that 's right . i want you to make reservations at the regency casino . it 's on the outskirts of town . yes , tonight . did n't i just say that ? luis : the regency . luis ' voice : that file . it was n't on the desk when i was searching before . must 've come from the safe . and those keys . they must be to the safe . that 's it . yes . that just might work . i know how to get alistair 's keys . [ alistair chuckles ] alistair : well , you just stay upstrsrs , keep the bed warm for me . i 'm sure i 'll want to celebrate later . [ alistair chuckles ] [ luis chuckles ] luis : that 's right . you just go ahead and laugh now , alistair , you bastard . i 'm going to be taking you down soon enough . eve : oh , julian , you believe it ? we 're finally going to meet our son . he -- he 's in there . we 're finally going to meet him . whitney : stupid noodle game . god , why did we even play that stupid game ? chad : come on , whitney , do n't let it ruin your dinner , ok ? we 're in love and that 's all that matters . we do n't need some stupid noodle to tell us our relationship is going all right . whitney : mm - hmm . yeah , chad . chad : come on , baby , we both know in our heart that we 're meant for each other , right ? whitney : you know , i really do want to believe that . but why did we even -- chad : what ? what ? whitney : look , chad , i 'm really sorry , but this whole thing is getting to me . i ca n't help it . i feel like this -- this cold chill is running through me , and i ca n't get rid of it . you know what i feel like ? i feel like that woman we saw on the talk show the other day . that 's how i feel . chad : come on , that was different , all right ? that girl just found out that she and the man she loved were brother and sister . all right ? no way can that happen to us . eve : well , this is it . i 've been hoping for this for so long . it 's -- it 's a dream come true . you 're looking live at edmonton from our skytracker atop manulife place . good afternoon . i 'm lesley macdonald . today at 5 : 30 ... the first major forest fire of the year . a wildfire scorches 15 hectares near clearwater , b - c. meanwhile , flooding has forced residents of manitoba 's largest aboriginal community to evacuate their homes . and the river continues to rise . plus ... last week , we told you about a calgary family fighting the catholic school board over discipline imposed on their disable whitney : i know it sounds silly , but i just have this horrible feeling that something bad is getting ready to happen . julian : eve , slow down ! gwen : oh , my god , theresa , what are you doing ? luis : i got the key . now i 'm going to blow alistair crane sky - high . beth 's voice : and i 'm going with him .
gwen overhears ethan tell julian that after little ethan is adopted , he is going to drop the charges against theresa and give her back her son . gwen tells rebecca and they decide that gwen should never agree to ethan 's plan .
<s>[INST] theresa : so why was i let out of my cell ? do i have a visitor ? guard : no . got your stuff . theresa : got my stuff ? guard : your possessions . you can take them with you . theresa : no , wait , where am i going ? because my lawyer did n't tell me anything about being transferred . guard : you made bail . theresa : ok , what ? guard : i 'm as shocked as you are , sugar pie . i figured you were going to rot away in here . but your bail was posted this morning , paperwork 's finished . you 're free to go -- at least for now . theresa : oh , god , i do n't believe this . who would have come up with bail for me ? fox . oh , fox ! thank you ! this is so wonderful ! thank you so much ! oh , god , how did you come up with that kind of money ? fox : um , actually -- theresa : sheridan . i -- well , i thought all your assets were frozen . sheridan : yeah , well , it was n't exactly my money . let 's just say it was a little gift from the cranes . fox : it 's a gift the rest of our family does n't know about yet , right ? rebecca : well , when did this happen ? i see . look , i want you to find out how this happened , all right ? well , who did it ? call me as soon as you have something . gwen : what happened ? what 's wrong ? rebecca : you are not going to believe this , but someone posted theresa 's bail this morning . she is being released as we speak . gwen : oh , you 've got to be joking . rebecca : i wish i were . ethan : ok , i got some ginger tea and some -- mmm -- plain saltine crackers . cook says it 's good for your stomach . it should help with the nausea , too . gwen : thank you . um , ethan , someone bailed theresa out of jail today . ethan : bailed her out ? gwen : yeah . it -- it was n't you , was it ? ethan : me ? gwen : yeah , please just tell me the truth . you did not post her bail , did you ? ethan : gwen , that is ridiculous . gwen : no , just answer my question . ethan : no , i had nothing to do with her making bail . but to be honest with you , i 'm glad that she did . gw : you are ? ethan : absolutely . she 's lost her job , she 's lost her home , and , even worse , she 's lost her son . as far as i 'm concerned , she has suffered enough . eve : hope i 'm not interrupting . julian : no , no , of course not . you know i 'm always happy to see you . come in . eve : gwen was not feeling well , so i thought i would come by and make sure that she was ok . julian : well , i hope it 's nothing serious . eve : i do n't think so . sometimes the hormone shots can cause discomfort . but i 'm doing some blood tests just to make sure that everything 's ok . julian : ah . there 's something i want to tell you . eve : oh ? about what ? julian : well , i was going to wait until i had something more definite , but since you 're here -- i may have wonderful news . eve : about our son ? julian : i got a clue , i got a lead , and i think i found him . i think i found our son . alistair : we can have a nice , long lunch back at my hotel suite . luis : [ normal voice ] this could be the last chance you get to search alistair 's office from top to bottom . whatever secrets he 's hiding could be in there . but you get caught , you 're dead . singer : i would hold the hand of the one who could lead me places and kiss the lips of the one who could sing so sweet and i would fly on the wings of the bird i knew could take me highest breathe in , breathe out you keep me alive you are the fire burning inside of me you are my passion for life you know the clean , natural freshness you i would find our son this year , and i will . this could be it . eve : and when will we know ? julian : well , my investigator 's going to call back any moment . i 'll let you know as soon as he does . eve : oh , god , please let it be good news . julian : are you going to be around the house for a while ? eve : yes , i 'm waiting for gwen 's test results . julian : i 'll find you as soon as i have word . eve : oh . to thank that my prayers might finally be answered , that we might finally find our son , our child ! oh . whitney : you know , what do you say that we stay here for the rest of the afternoon and evening ? chad : hmm . sounds good . whitney : i do n't want to move , baby . you know , i do n't want to leave your arms ever . chad : that sounds even better . but there 's one small problem , though . whitney : oh , really ? chad : yeah . whitney : what 's that ? chad : food . i mean , at some point , we 're going to have to eat , you know , to keep our strength up . whitney : oh . well , you 're right about that one . chad : yeah . so what do you say i take you out for a late lunch ? whitney : hmm , how about we make it an early dinner ? chad : ooh . you 're on . whitney : ok . [ luis whistles ] luis : [ normal voice ] all right . it has to -- has to be here . it has to be here . luis : certainly no accounting fogood taste . [ luis sighs ] luis : wait a minute . luis : bingo . feels likethe first time ethan : ok , i can tell by the look on both on your faces that you 're not happy about my saying that theresa does n't deserve to be in jail , but i 'm sorry , that 's how i feel . rebecca : so that 's why you posted her bail ? ethan : i just told you , rebecca , i had nothing to do with posting her bail , but i 'm glad that somebody did . gwen : i just ca n't believe this , ethan . i mean , no matter what we 're doing , what we 're planning , or how close i think you and i are , theresa always , always manages to put a wedge between us . it 's like she 's got you under some spell or something . ethan : rebecca , can i have a moment alone with my wife , please ? rebecca : well , gwen is ill . i do n't want to leave her alone now . gwen : mother , i ' fine . just go . ethan : oh , and do me a favor -- do n't eavesdrop in the foyer , all right ? rebecca : what ? well . ethan : look , i do n't want to fight with you . i know you 're not feeling well . gwen : yeah , well , this is making me feel worse . are we ever going to be free of theresa ? ethan : honey , we are free ! we are free of theresa , or at least we would be if you would just let go of this hatred that you have for her . that is what is driving a wedge between us , not my supposed love for her . look , i love you and you 're my wife and i 'm excited about trying to have this baby with you , but that is what we need to focus on , not theresa . and i 'm not going to pretend that her situation does n't bother me ! no matter how you cut it , no matter what you think she 's done , theresa 's a human being , gwen . i do n't want her in our lives , but i do n't want to see her suffer , either ! and if you ca n't understand that , then you do n't know me half as well as you thought you did . gwen : wait . honey , please do n't go . i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry . i 'm just a little out of sorts today . you know , eve said that the hormone injections could do that . ethan : what about everything else ? i mean , how 's your nausea ? gwen : could be that , too . and eve 's doing some more blood work to make sure that that 's all it is , just the effects of the hormone shots . ethan : i do n't want to argue with you . i 'm -- i 'm sorry . i did n't mean to get upset , either . i know you 've been though a lot , as well . just know that i love you . only you . gwen : and i love you , too . honey , i love you very , very much . and i promise -- i promise i will not bring up theresa again . ok ? theresa : the bail money was a gift from the cranes ? ok , what 's that mean ? sheridan : well , father gave me a job at crane industries . it 's just a token position because he does n't have much faith in me . fox : mm - hmm . sheridan : but he put me somewhere where i could do minimal damage -- crane charities . theresa : ok . all right . ok , what 's that have to do with my bail ? sheridan : you just became one of the new crane charities . theresa : me ? really ? fox : well , no , not just you , theresa . it 's other women , also , you know , women like you that are in your position , that are down on their lu a and are in trouble with the legal system and they ca n't help themselves . sheridan : and the charity funds will help out with legal expenses and bail , if necessary . theresa : ok , so this is a real charity ? fox : well , we do n't have a name for it yet . sheridan : or helped anyone else yet . fox : right . well , yeah , but it 's a real charity . i mean , hell , you 're proof of that . sheridan : yeah . fox : the charity posted your bail , theresa . theresa : wow . you guys , this is great news ! thank you , thank you , thank you so much ! fox : sure . theresa : oh , my gosh , thank you . you have no idea how wonderful it feels to o out of that cell ! fox : and we 're going to try to stay out of this and every other cell , right , for a little bit ? theresa : yes . sheridan : well , you know what , i 'd better get back to the office and finish up the paperwork on our new charity ! fox : ok . all right . theresa : thank you again , sheridan . thank you so much . sheridan : you 're so welcome . good luck . theresa : thanks . sheridan : u 're welcome . fox : hey , sheridan ? sheridan : yeah ? fox : listen -- really , thank you . sheridan : hey . anything for love , fox . fox : hmm . theresa : well , i guess we 're off to the russells ' , hmm ? fox : oh , not so fast , young lady , not so fast . i have other plans for you , actually . i brought you a fresh change of clothes . theresa : wow . ok . wait , what are we doing ? fox : well , you 'll just have to wait and see , wo n't you ? after you . theresa : ok . thank you . bbing ] you with a southpaw swing . great champion he is . who could have imagined singer : you are my passion for life theresa : a little while ago , i was in this 8x10 cell , and now i 'm out here with the most incredibly handsome man . i think i 'm feeling really good . fox : gogood . boy : mommy , mommy ! theresa : little ethan ? theresa : i 'm sorry . fox : no , it 's ok . it 's all right . theresa : fox , i am so grateful for everything that you do for me . i really , really am . it 's just , well , the truth is no matter where i am , whether i 'm in jail or i 'm not , i'jujust miserable without my son because he means -- he means everything to me , and i do n't think that i can be happy without him . and now ethan and gwen , they 're going to take him away from me . they 're taking him away from me forever . fox : hey , listen , theresa , um -- i wo n't make any promises or anything , but a lot of things -- a lot of things have happened since you 've been in jail , so i would n't give up hope just yet , ok ? ethan : listen , i heard that theresa was released on bail earlier . you know anything about that ? julian : no , that 's news to me , but i 'm glad to hear it , though . theresa 's many things , but she 's not a criminal . she does n't belong in jail . she 's just a woman desperate to hang on to her child . ethan : you think theresa should have little ethan ? julian : between you and me ? ethan : yeah . julian : yes . she loves that little boy very much and she 's a very good mother . it 's a tragic situation . ethan : but you have the power to give theresa back her son . julian : actually , i do n't , and i 'm going to have to leave it at that right now , so do n't ask me for an explanation . ethan : i won't . but since you ' m made a halfhearted confession , i 'll do likewise . the reason that i want to adopt little ethan is that so when gwen and i become his legal guardians , not you and rebecca , i can drop the charges against theresa and give her back her son . eve : yes . yeah , and thank you so much for having the results so quickly . ok . rebecca : you 're still here ? eve : i was waiting for gwen 's lab results . rebecca : oh , the perfect excuse for you to hang around , hoping to hook up with my husband . eve : i do n't have time for this , rebecca . rebecca : eve , i warned you to stay away from julian . he is mine now , and there is no way in hell that i 'm going to give him back to his former hoochie mama . gwen : eve . hi . have you heard back from the lab yet ? eve : just now , honey . everything is good . your blood work is fine . it 's all good . are you ok , gwen ? you seem a little upset . gwen : i 'm fine , thanks . eve : ok , well , i 'll check in with you later , then . rebecca : gwen , you are -- you are upset . what 's going on ? gwen : yeah , it 's ethan . rebecca : oh , no , he really did post theresa 's bail ? gwen : no , it 's much worse . mother , he did n't want to adopt little ethan for us . he wanted to do it so he can give him back to theresa . eve : i ca n't let rebecca catch me with julian . but i have got to see him and find out if the investigator called . oh , god , please , let it be right this time . let us find our son . sally : have you ordered yet ? chad : oh , we were just getting ready to . sally : allow sally to do it for you . i will tell my chef to prepare our finest delicacies . but first , the love noodle ! whitney : oh , no . thank you , that 's ok . chad : love noodle ? whitney : baby -- sally : yes . a very old tradition from my family brought over from china . it 's a test for the people 's relationship will last or if you are with your true soul mate . whitney : thank you for offering , but that 's ok . theresa and ethan did it at the beginning of their relationship -- do n't you remember ? -- and the love noodle broke and so did their relationship , so i do n't want to do it , ok ? chad : come on , whitney , that was over more than just a noodle . sally : come on , give it a try . i 'll bring you a long noodle . the man starts from one end of it and the lady at the other . they work their way into the middle , and if they meet in a kiss , their love is forever . but if the noodle breaks , the relationship is doomed . whitney : ok , did i not just tell you ? see ? chad : hey , do n't worry . all right , come on , i 'm game if you are . whitney : ok . sally : i 'll be right back . chad : hey , you 're ok with this , are n't you ? whitney : baby , i just ca n't stop thinking about what happened with hahan and theresa . chad : well , it 's going to take a whole lot more than a noodle to come between us , all right ? do n't worry . luis : [ normal voice ] a key lock . well , at least that 's easier than trying to figure out a combination . come on . now , you got secrets hidden in here , alistair . dirty bastard . now , let 's see if i can break into this thing . luis : damn it ! this ai n't going to work . need the key to open this thing . sheridan : what are you doing here ? good afternoon . city police have unveiled a new high tech tool to catch speeders . it 's called moving radar - and it lets police catch drivers both in front and behind them . we 'll show you how it works at five . + + + the city man who nearly killed a young woman after running a red light - and then leaving the scene has been sentenced - but he wo n't be going to jail - we 'll tell you why ... and you 'll hear from the frustrated victim today at five . coke ? ethan : what 's that ? julian : it 's nothing . ethan : `` child search `` ? julian : it 's private . ethan : you 're searching for your own child , are n't you ? oh , my god . you have another child out there , do n't you ? you know , i knew you were -- i knew you were never faithful to my mother , so i do n't know why it would surprise me that you 'd have another son or daughter out there somewhere . considering the amount of whores ththat you 've been with , you could 've sired dozens of children , huh ? julian : you will not speak to me like that . this does not concern you in the least . and the woman is anything but a whore , so you 'll mind your own business . ethan : you 're right . you are right , it 's none of my concern . but it 's interesting . it 's really interesting -- the minute i think that you might have a heart , something serves to remind me of what you 're really like . julian : i do n't find it interesting in the least , so i will just say good day and ask you not to slam the door on your way out . ethan : julian , i appreciate your support -- verbally , anyway -- of what i 'm trying to do for theresa , but let me tell you , my opinion of you still holds . you are nothing but a selfish bastard . 100 % crane . julian : you 're right , ethan , i have been a bastard , but i 'm trying to make up for it for eve . theresa : so what 's happened ? what 's changed ? how is there hope that i can get my son back ? fox : ok . well , it seems that gwen and ethan are using a surrogate to have a child of their own , you know , having some stranger carry their biological child ? theresa : ok , well , that makes sense since gwen ca n't have her own child . fox : yeah , right . ok , so i was just , you know , thinking that once gwen finds out that she 's going to have her own child on the way , she 'll probably be more likely to just let you -- theresa : she -- she wo n't be so determined to take little ethan away from me -- fox : exactly . theresa : because she 's going to have her own child and she 's going to give him back to me . fox : well , she could . theresa : no , this is great ! i mean , this is really great ! i mean , i miss him so much , i wish i could have him back already , but just knowing that ethan and gwen are n't going to go through with the adoption , that 's enough for me . fox : whoa , whoa , but they might still go through with the adoption , though . theresa : no , no , fox , you 're right , once they have a child of their own on the way , they 're going to give me my son back . i just have to be patient . i just have to wait . fox : oh . gwen : i will never allow ethan to give theresa back her son . that is not going to happen . rebecca : well , of course not . i mean , adopting little ethan is the perfect way to get our revenge on theresa for all the pain that she 's caused you . gwen : i just do n't understand . no matter what we do , theresa is always there . she 's like some evil specter just haunting our life . it 's le e she 's enslaved ethan . i mean , every single decision that he makes , it involves her somehow . rebecca : well , that 'll stop soon , you 'll see . gwen : i mean , i just ca n't believe the only reason he wanted to adopt little ethan was to help theresa . it was n't for us , so we could have a child ! it was only to help theresa ! rebecca : but that 's never going to work . theresa is beyond help . i have seen to it that she and the whole rest of her pathetic family have no way to survive in this town . they have no jobs , no home , no money . the only way they can survive is to leave harmony . i say adios , because once theresa leaves harmony , you will never have another problem , and then we will never have to deal with theresa or her whole immigrant clan again . sheridan : it 's you ! luis : [ disguised voice ] yeah . you know , just cleaning the office , you know . sheridan : sure . yeah , fine . i just thought my father was here and you took me by surprise . luis : oh , sorry , ma'am . sheridan : yeah . luis : yes ?

hope questions brooke and liam . what were they arguing about , it looks so intense . she wishes someone would say something ; it is freaking her out . she tells liam this is her home now too ; she does not want to start things out this way . brooke speaks up and says of course she is right ; she has every right to know . brooke goes back over some old stuff like about the letter that liam thought was from hope when it really was deacon . hope says they are past that now so brooke does n't have to worry about their feelings . when alone , liam tells brooke that hope is so happy . he does not want her to make him tell hope any more and ruin that happiness . stephanie gives marcus the third degree of why he is dragging his cold feet and not marrying dayzee . he assures her that he loves her more than ever , but he just thinks there is reason to wait and not rush things . dayzee wants to know if that means to wait for a year or even two . he promises he will not change his mind but thinks they should just slow down and take their time . thomas chimes in on the conversation and says he too does n't understand why the wait . stephanie grabs the wedding books and says they are going to continue as she thinks the wedding will happen sooner rather than later . katie grills steffy about the video . steffy says it was left on by mistake ; they had no idea . katie and brooke can not say anything to anyone , it would crush hope . katie tells steffy that it 's uncanny . there always seems to be a window of opportunity when it comes to liam and she just opens it and dives through .

[ scene_break ] steffy : ( sighs ) oh , great . i can guess why you 're here . katie just left . i know what you saw . brooke : i was just with hope and liam . steffy : please do n't tell me you said anything to hope . brooke : why are you so concerned , if you were alone in liam 's hotel room the morning he got married ? steffy : he thought that she left him . brooke : look , i know about the misunderstanding with the letter . that is no excuse . steffy : no , it 's not . brooke : and i told liam i was very disappointed that he believed hope would give up on him so quickly . and i ca n't believe you think the same . steffy : well , she 's done it before , brooke . brooke : i thought you were progressing . steffy : ( sighs ) brooke : i thought you were accepting hope and liam 's marriage , that 's why you went to italy , to support them . but i guess i 'm wrong . i assumed you 'd given up your rivalry with hope . and i was hoping that was the case . i did n't want you to experience what i experienced with your mother all of those years . but when i saw liam dressed for the wedding and you in his hotel room kissing passionately -- steffy : we did n't make love . brooke : still . steffy : it was a mistake , brooke . brooke : it was a huge mistake , one that could cost my daughter her happiness . steffy : not if she does n't find out . brooke : she 's going to find out . i was gon na tell her , and then liam stopped me . steffy : hope does n't need to know about this . brooke : yes , she does . i will now allow her marriage to be based on a lie . steffy : if you insist on telling hope , she might not be able to handle it . brooke : i 'm not telling her . liam is . steffy : he is ? brooke : i told him to do it . steffy : well , i think that 's a bad decision . brooke : well , that 's none of your business anymore , is it ? this is between hope and liam . he 's going to tell her . she 's going to understand , and she will forgive him . stay away from him . he is married to my daughter now . move on with your life .Summarize.[/INST]hope questions brooke and liam . what were they arguing about , it looks so intense . she wishes someone would say something ; it is freaking her out . she tells liam this is her home now too ; she does not want to start things out this way . brooke speaks up and says of course she is right ; she has every right to know . brooke goes back over some old stuff like about the letter that liam thought was from hope when it really was deacon . hope says they are past that now so brooke does n't have to worry about their feelings . when alone , liam tells brooke that hope is so happy . he does not want her to make him tell hope any more and ruin that happiness . stephanie gives marcus the third degree of why he is dragging his cold feet and not marrying dayzee . he assures her that he loves her more than ever , but he just thinks there is reason to wait and not rush things . dayzee wants to know if that means to wait for a year or even two . he promises he will not change his mind but thinks they should just slow down and take their time . thomas chimes in on the conversation and says he too does n't understand why the wait . stephanie grabs the wedding books and says they are going to continue as she thinks the wedding will happen sooner rather than later . katie grills steffy about the video . steffy says it was left on by mistake ; they had no idea . katie and brooke can not say anything to anyone , it would crush hope . katie tells steffy that it 's uncanny . there always seems to be a window of opportunity when it comes to liam and she just opens it and dives through .</s>

stitch : you know , when we started , i knew i was the rebound guy . her being with me was all about needing to forget about billy for a moment or two . next thing i know , i was thinking about a future with victoria , a family ... kelly : sweetie , i 'm so sorry that things did n't work out for you , but i think that victoria really cares about you . i do . i mean , and anybody could see that . plus , there 's a chance you could be the father of her child . i mean , that changes everything . stitch : does it ? kelly : yes ! people are bonded by their children . phyllis and jack share a daughter . victoria and billy share a son . stitch : and a ton of history . billy will always come first with victoria because she loved him first and ca n't seem to stop loving him , so ... kelly : so ... where does that leave us ? we do n't stand a chance . stitch : i 'd love to tell you different , sis . but i 'd be lying to you , and that 's what got me in this whole mess . victoria : nothing has changed . okay ? i am living my life , and billy is moving on with his . abby : trying to , maybe , but chelsea is totally wrong for him . victoria : billy does n't think so . what brought him to the hospital last night was fear -- the thought of ... losing another child . abby : it 'll be a year tomorrow . victoria : it seems like yesterday . i remember ... her running out of the house that night , a big smile on her face , going to the school play . abby : just seems like everything went haywire after that night . victoria : it 's kind of like we 're living in this alternate universe where nothing really makes sense anymore . abby : do you ever think about it , how different things would be if delia had n't died ? victoria : yeah , she 'd be home right now , playing with johnny . abby : and billy would still be with you , looking forward to the birth of your baby . and there 'd be no kelly and no stitch and definitely no chelsea to complicate things . billy : adam may be dead , but you are keeping his memory alive and well by living in his penthouse and sleeping in his bed . i 'm keeping my dead husband 's memory alive for my son . kind of deserves to know who his father was . billy : well , i 'll be happy to enlighten the kid when he 's old enough to understand . chelsea : okay . you hate adam . i get it . um ... but what 's with the disappearing act ? i - i thought that we were going for something more substantial than `` friends with benefits . `` billy : i thought so , too . chelsea : well , then how does sneaking out while i 'm sleeping play into that ? billy : well , i did n't want to interrupt your dream . it sounded like a good one , the way you were purring adam 's name . lily : i can not believe that you two are n't more curious . i mean , devon has n't been serious about somebody since roxy , and that was before he inherited $ 2 billion . what if this girl 's all for his money or something ? you should find out what 's going on ? cane : whoa , whoa . me ? why do i have to do it ? lily : 'cause you 're the brother - in - law . i 'm sure he 'd feel more comfortable talking to you than me . cane : i agree with you there . we should stop pushing . lily : but , honey , i just want everyone to be as happy as we are . neil : mm - hmm . i 'll admit , the love of a good woman can make a difference . hilary : is -- is neil okay ? you did n't tell him about us ? devon : no , i did n't . hilary : okay . devon : how do you like new york ? hilary : you came all the way to new york to ask me about new york ? devon : what do you think ? hilary : i said we would n't do this , devon . did neil tell you that we got arrested for being in a bar fight ? hilary : you took my blind , recovering , alcoholic husband to a bar ? devon : it was for nick newman 's bachelor party . there are pictures of all of us in lockup . there 's jack and sharon , cane , lily ... hilary : whoa . lily ? devon : yeah . it was all over the place . hilary : wow . how did i miss this ? been so busy with work , i have n't been able to catch up on my g.c . buzz . which , um ... i have to get back to . so ... devon : did neil not call and tell you about it ? hilary : no . he has n't exactly been checking in . devon : do you miss him ? hilary : yes . i do . devon : okay . hilary : it 's been kind of a relief ... not having to ... deal with his calls . devon : why do you say that ? hilary : neil thinks i 've been faithful . and every time i hear his voice ... i hate lying to him . devon : why do n't we stop ? hilary : we have . devon : no , i mean stop hiding the truth from him ? hilary : i 'm not gon na hurt neil . devon : hilary , i hurt . do you ? missing how you feel in my arms hurts . everything about you -- gus : you know what ? just stop , all right ? this attraction , it just -- devon : really ? `` attraction `` ? can you not find a better word ? hilary : devon ... devon : i 'm serious . find a word for my life not making sense without you in it . find a word for everything that i do , i think , i see , and feel . it all leads back to you . what do you think that word is ? it 's love . hilary , i love you . do you still ? chelsea : so , i happened to have a dream about adam , and you 're making this into -- billy : it was n't just that , although saying another man 's name in bed is pretty bad . chelsea : you are unbelievable . i was sleeping ! billy : and you are still attached to adam . he is constantly on your mind . chelsea : he was a huge part of my life , billy . but i 'm in a relationship with you now , and what i had with adam -- billy : look , last night was not the first time that you imagined adam walking through that door . chelsea : you do n't turn around when you hear a little girl laughing and expect to see delia ? i 'm sorry . i should n't have said that . billy : no , you 're right . i 'm always thinking about dee dee . so thanks for making my point . chelsea : what -- what is your point , exactly ? billy : that even though adam is dead , you ca n't stop hoping and wishing that somehow he might come back into your life . chelsea : i want him to come back into connor 's life . because no matter what you think about adam on a personal level , he loved his son . you ca n't deny that . billy : but what about my little girl ? you talk about what it is that connor deserves ? well , delia deserved a hell of lot more than to be left by the side of the road by that coward . so while you 're knocking yourself out to preserve adam 's memory for your son ... that 's the image that is seared into my head , chelsea ... me sitting there , holding my ... my precious little girl , begging her to hold on . a year later , it does n't get any easier . just ... look , i thought that i could handle this ... that you were married to the man who ... who killed my daughter ... but as it turns out , i ca n't . jack : i will take care of this . phyllis : when ? jack : soon . phyllis : how soon ? jack : phyllis ... phyllis : the sooner you unpawn the ring , the sooner we can make that dream of yours a reality . jack : you need rest right now . we will talk about our future once you 're out of the hospital . phyllis : how did you do it , jack ? jack : what , how did i deal with you ? well , it was work , but i figured out how to do it . phyllis : i 'm talking about this past year . more than 12 months of hand - holding and one - sided conversations with me lying there like a lump . jack : eh , you were n't that lumpy . phyllis : but you had to think i might never wake up , but here i am . jack : thank god . phyllis : well , then will you stop looking so worried ? will you please just give your brain and your heart an update ? we will have a future together . jack : okay . phyllis : that is , if you still want to marry me . jack : i never stopped loving you , red . phyllis : i love you , too , very much . [ knock on door ] michael : hey . jack : hey . michael : are you up for another visitor ? phyllis : i am if it 's you . get over here . [ both laugh ] michael : oh , i 'm so glad to see you . phyllis : oh . michael : and you look good . you know , for somebody lying in a hospital bed . phyllis : oh . well , this glow is n't just the fluorescent lighting . i just accepted jack 's marriage proposal . little slow on the pickup , are n't you , michael ? michael : mm . congratulations . best wishes , all that sort of thing . i 'm happy for you . and you . jack : i 'll let the two of you catch up . phyllis : while you get my ring ? jack : do not overexert yourself . we do n't want phyllis to have a setback , right ? michael : not to worry , jack . i 'll make sure the patient stays calm and relaxed . [ door opens ] [ cell phone rings ] kelly : hi , jack . jack : can you meet me ? kelly : uh , sure . where ? jack : my office , one hour . kelly : i 'm kind of busy . jack : we need to talk . phyllis : i get engaged , and that 's all i get -- a limp congrats ? michael : i 'll owe you a great big present . phyllis : i thought you liked jack . wanted us to be together . michael : jack is jack . phyllis : something 's off . michael : i 'm still trying to wrap my head around all this . you , here ... awake , talking ... like a normal person , almost . it 's been a long time . phyllis : too long . i came back just in time . victoria : by the way , my marriage did not fall apart just because of billy 's grief . abby : sure it did . victoria : you 're trying to rewrite history , abby . billy and i had plenty of problems before delia died . abby : like what ? victoria : like trust . like billy hiding that he got back into gambling . abby : um , had n't you guys worked through that ? victoria : i thought we had when we renewed our vows . abby : and then billy had the one - night stand with kelly . victoria : that was a game changer . abby : which was a direct result from delia 's death since he met kelly at grief counseling . victoria : this has nothing to do with kelly . billy shut me out . i mean , i do n't know any relationship that can survive when there 's no communication . abby : okay . you are just looking for reasons to justify pushing billy away . it 's textbook . victoria : never get into psychiatry . abby : do n't you want to know the one factor that you did n't consider ? victoria : no . okay . please , enlighten me . abby : you love billy , and you always will . pushing him away will not change that . chelsea : you ca n't be with me because i was with adam ? billy : it 's just all the constant reminders , chelsea . chelsea : what do you want me to do , billy ? you want me to throw away all of his photos ? do you want me to promise to never utter adam 's name again ? billy : i do n't -- chelsea : when connor grows up , if he asks about his father , should i just say , `` no comment `` ? billy : chelsea ... chelsea : or god forbid connor grows up to look like adam . maybe then i should just ship him off , as if he and his never existed . billy : i do n't want this to bother me , okay ? but it does . chelsea : do you think all of your moaning and groaning about your breakup with victoria was easy for me ? it was n't . but i was there for you , as a fri -- well , as more than a friend -- and i never once called you out on it . billy : victoria did n't kill your kid . i just do n't understand how you can still love him . chelsea : i guess ... because he died before i could stop loving him . but i hate what he did . i do n't know how things would be if adam was still alive , but ... it does n't matter . he 's gone . billy : yeah , it does . it matters to me . because every time i think about my daughter , when i do n't feel as whole and i feel like there 's a piece of me missing , i remember that that is because of adam . lily : so , i was thinking that you should reconsider taking some time off . kelly : i 'm okay . lily : kelly , clearly you have bigger issues than the seating chart for the garden club 's luncheon . kelly : oh , no , the seating chart 's all done . listen , i would never let my personal life interfere with my work performance . okay . jack called . he wants to see me . lily : oh . kelly : yes , my reaction exactly . hence the ... liquid courage . lily : well , i know that jack and phyllis have history , but he 's with you now , so maybe -- maybe the talk is a good thing . kelly : [ sighs ] that 's optimistic . lily : look , all i know is i just want the people i care about to be happy . that 's it . i 'm even willing to have my dad be with hilary just so she can keep a smile on his face . cane : were you really having fun at nick 's bachelor party , or were you just putting on a brave face ? neil : hmm , to be honest with you , i was kind of faking it at first . i did n't want to bring rain clouds to the festivities , but , you know , honestly , i , uh ... i started hitting my stride . i felt my groove . i had a good time . cane : well , you know what they say , right ? it 's not a party till somebody gets handcuffed and thrown in the back of a cop car . [ both laugh ] neil : yeah , that would 've been me . you know , cane , first time since my accident , i felt like i was treated just like everyone else , you know ? they threw me in jail right next to all the common criminals like jack abbott . cane : you deserved to be there , okay ? i did n't even get to throw a punch . neil : i heard that about australian men . they let their wives do their fighting for them , do n't they ? cane : excuse me . we are talking about your daughter here . she 's a strong- willed woman , and i could n't have stopped her if i tried . neil : well , my wife is strong - willed , too . it 's a good thing , or i 'd probably be divorced by now . hilary : we ca n't keep doing this . devon : hilary ... hilary : sneaking behind neil 's back . it 's wrong . devon : you know what ? let 's stop sneaking . hilary : i 'm not gon na leave neil , okay ? devon : my dad does not want you to stay with him out of pity . has he not made that clear to you ? hilary : when he asked for a divorce , he did n't mean that . devon : he wants you to live life . your life , one that does n't revolve around you being his caregiver . hilary : he 's not a burden . okay ? he 's ... making progress . he 's regaining his independence . devon : right . and he 's trying to push you to do the same thing . hilary : okay , i ca n't . devon : hilary , you 're not hearing me . my dad is a strong man whether he can see or not . if he knew how you really felt , he would tell you to go . he 'd say , `` leave . `` you and i owe it to him to show him some respect , be honest with him , and tell him the truth . that 's what he wants . hilary : no , that 's what you want , you mean . devon : well , yes , of course it is , but it does n't mean we should n't do it . and i 've said this before -- i 'm not looking forward to hurting my father . i love him . if we would 've lost him after that accident , that would 've killed me . hilary : i know , okay ? i know that about you . here 's what i know about neil . it would kill him if i left him for his son . victoria : you know , i would n't admit this to anyone but you . but the thought of raising you on my own is pretty scary . [ breathes deeply ] i promise you this , though -- however the paternity test turns out ... you 're gon na have an amazing life . and you 're gon na have a lot of love . abby : why are you always early ? stitch : because you never are . slow down . you got plenty of time before everybody gets here . abby : okay . my mom e - mailed some last - minute notes on the fragrance line . stitch : got them . abby : lab status ? stitch : should be ready soon . stitch : did you order the additional equipment ? abby : i was a little busy attending my brother 's wedding and playing birth coach to victoria . stitch : she -- she went into labor ? well , how is she ? is the baby okay ? abby : it was false labor but enough to send her to the hospital . she was a little freaked out about the baby coming early , but do n't worry . billy came to calm her down . stitch : how did billy know she was in labor ? abby : i thought the baby 's father should be there . stitch : i realize you 're always gon na be team billy , but there is a good chance that that baby is mine . abby : okay . listen , stitch . regardless of who turns out to be the baby 's father , you 'll be out of there , and billy and victoria will end up together . they always do . now , do you want to go over the pitch one more time ? stitch : no . you do n't need my help . apparently , nobody does . stitch : victoria . victoria : oh . hi . what brings you by ? stitch : a question -- what 's going on ? victoria : with ... ? stitch : i heard you thought you went into labor . victoria : oh , yeah , that . well , you know , it turned out to be nothing , and -- and dr . chiverton gave me and the baby a clean bill of health , so ... stitch : yeah , i heard that , too , secondhand . victoria : yeah , uh , look . i -- i would 've called you , but it was just a false alarm , so -- stitch : listen . i have done my best to respect your need for space . victoria : i appreciate that . stitch : but i can not be left out of the loop concerning this baby . if i 'm the father , i have a right to know what 's going on with my child . victoria : i agree . and i have no intention of keeping you away from this baby if you 're the father . stitch : maybe not now , but that could change , and i ... i ca n't take that chance . i decided to get a lawyer . victoria : why ? i told you that -- stitch : and i believe you . but i 'm sorry , but i ... i need more than your word to protect my place in this baby 's life . chelsea : you think adam was a coward ? takes one to know one . billy : i am nothing like him . chelsea : oh , really ? because adam was running scared that night , kind of the way you 're running scared now . he was making excuses for his behavior kind of the way that you 're using this stupid dream as an excuse to end things with me now . answer one question for me , billy -- why did you even bother to make me think we could have something serious if you were just looking for an excuse to bail the entire time ? billy : i was n't . chelsea : yes , you 're still hung up on victoria . if you did n't end things now , you would end things once she has this baby , so why delay the inevitable , right ? billy : chelsea , wait . chelsea : wait for what ? to hear more reasons why my dead husband makes me unsuitable for you ? no , thank you . billy : chelsea , you 're right . okay ? you 're right . michael : a lot has changed in the baldwin household since last we spoke . phyllis : in a good way ? michael : well , what do you want to hear -- good , better , or best ? phyllis : good . michael : fenmore 's going to college in arizona . phyllis : kudos . michael : mm - hmm . better ? michael : he has plans to attend law school after . phyllis : like his old man . michael : [ chuckles ] phyllis : okay . best ? michael : oh . well , lauren and i are ... kind of enjoying this whole empty- nester thing . phyllis : oh . i bet you are . michael : [ chuckles ] [ cell phone rings ] michael : oh . sorry . phyllis : do you need to take that ? michael : no . it 's nothing that ca n't wait . seriously now , tell me -- how are you ? mm ? what 's it like to ... wake up and find out that you 've been unconscious a whole year ? phyllis : shocking . lost a lot of time . michael : do n't try and make up for it all at once . phyllis : shut up . michael : get back on your feet , young lady . phyllis : stop . michael : your health is all that matters ! everything else can wait . phyllis : the hell with that . i 'm not putting my life on hold . why not be happy now ? jack : abby , did we have a meeting scheduled ? abby : oh . no , i 'm just wrapping things up with the department heads . jack : oh , right -- you and stitch . i was gon na try to sit in on -- abby : you know what ? do n't bother . i can fill you in later . i 'll have to fill in stitch , too , since he did n't bother to stick around .

[ knock on door ] jack : yeah . shoot me the prices and the stats , and i can tell you . no . i got to run . okay , okay . good . thanks . listen , about this -- kelly : jack , before you say anything , i just want you to know that you do n't have to prove anything to me just because phyllis is back . look , i would be lying if i said that i -- i was n't really worried about how that would affect our relationship , but ... it is enough for me to know that you love me ... and that you want me . we do n't have to rush into marriage , though , okay ? jack : kelly ... kelly : oh . oh , that ... ring is n't for me , is it . neil : you know what ? here 's the thing -- i really -- i want to do something special for hilary . maybe even finish up on the house that i bought for her . lily : are you kidding ? you 'd actually move in to that place ? cane : have you thought of selling it ? lily : dad , you almost died in that house . why would you want to live somewhere where there 's a bad memory ? neil : okay . so here 's what i do -- i flip it around , you know , and i make the bad memories -- turn them into good ones with hilary . cane : have you talked to her about this ? maybe she does n't want to live there anymore . neil : okay . so , wait . maybe -- maybe the house is n't the right thing to do , but i definitely want to do something meaningful to show her that , yeah , i still care . lily : she already knows that , though . neil : maybe not . maybe since the accident , i 've been doing some pretty crazy things . i 've been trying to -- i tried to push her away permanently . lily : did you ask for a divorce ? neil : yeah . i did . i was trying to do the right thing . lily : dad ... neil : save the speech , lily . i should n't have asked her for the divorce , and i 'm just glad that she did n't take me up on it . i really do want her in my life , though . devon : i 'm not happy about this . hilary : but you 'll do it . devon : yeah . i 'll do it 'cause i respect your decision . hilary : we 're agreed -- this thing ends here , now . devon : yeah . after one last kiss . hilary : yeah , just -- just one . devon : right . just one . billy : i 'm being a coward . chelsea : yeah , i know . billy : but not because i 'm afraid you 're gon na say adam 's name in your sleep . i get that . it 's because i 'm afraid i 'm ... letting down my little girl . chelsea : billy ... billy : do you think she knows ? chelsea , you think she knows that i 'm spending time in the house of her killer , that i 'm hanging out with his wife and his son , who -- who has her eyes ? chelsea : i did n't know you felt that way . billy : i did n't know , either , till i heard his name last night while i was lying in his bed . chelsea : okay . okay , i -- i get it now . but i do n't want to lose you , billy . billy : i do n't want to lose you , either . look , i do n't care who you were married to . it 's you that i want . chelsea : and i love that you care what delia would think . billy : i have to . that 's how i keep her memory alive . chelsea : well , then you should know that i got to spend a lot of time with delia . chloe and i were starting the business , and she thought i was pretty cool . billy : of course she did . she had excellent taste . victoria : you know it 's a little soon to be talking about custody . we do n't even know if this baby is yours . stitch : if you had gone into labor , would you have called me ? victoria : well , i ... stitch : no , probably not . and why would you ? abby was there to coach you through it . so was billy . victoria : i did n't call billy . stitch : that does n't change the fact that i 'm always the end on the outside looking in . and i 'm tired of it . if you want to be on your own , fine . but if this child 's mine , i will be a hands - on father . victoria : maybe i do n't want to be on my own . [ sighs ] i 'm sorry , ben . i 'm sorry . i should n't have done that . michael : in total seriousness , the worst thing that could happen to any of us is that we lose you again . so why push it ? phyllis : i can never get back the time that i missed lying in that bed that year . more than a year was stolen from me . michael : your fall was an accident . phyllis : i just meant ... i can never get that time back . but i can try my damnedest to piece back the life i had before . kelly : oh , wow . you know , i had a feeling that you were gon na end things . it 's just , when i saw the ring , you know ... i should 've trusted my gut . jack : i 'm sorry . kelly : no , do n't be . of course that ring is n't for me . we said from the beginning that we were n't looking to get serious . jack : but we did . kelly : and obviously , that was a mistake . jack : please , just let me explain . kelly : no . it 's okay . i hope you and phyllis will be very happy . [ next_on ] billy : i 'm sorry . victoria : you do n't owe me any more apologies . i 'm good . chloe : i could n't stay away , baby . not today . traci : how long do we get you before you have to go back to new york ? ashley : my ticket was one - way . i 'm home for good .
jack 's heart is torn between kelly and phyllis especially after phyllis tells him that she heard his marriage proposal whiles she was in a coma and wants to marry him . phyllis tells jack that she had to pawn the engagement ring he gave her , but as soon as he gets it out of the pawn shop , they can get married . jack asks to talk to kelly . when she sees the ring , she assumes it 's for her . jack does n't respond to kelly when she tells him that they do n't have to get married so that he can prove his love for her , so kelly knows that the ring is for phyllis . kelly tells him that she understands this is the end of their relationship . billy and chelsea argue because he thinks she still loves adam , because she said adam 's name in her sleep . chelsea tells billy that adam will always be in her heart , but she knows that he is gone and will never come back so she is ready to move on with her life and be with him .

it was false labor . chelsea : yeah . but then i woke up , and you were gone . no text , no note . i thought maybe you rushed to the hospital . i tried calling ... billy : no , i just had some things to take care of here at the house . chelsea : for jack ? is he with phyllis at the hospital ? billy : yeah , he is , but ... i ca n't help him with whatever his deal is with phyllis . he 's got to figure that out for himself . you too . me too what ? i have to figure something out ? billy : yeah , you never answered my question last night , about what you would do if adam came back the way that phyllis has . chelsea : billy , i told you , there 's no point in talking about it . adam 's not coming back . he 's gone . billy : you 're wrong , chelsea . adam is still very much with us . phyllis : i heard your proposal , jack . and the answer 's yes . jack : i waited so long for that answer . and the smile that goes with it . phyllis : then why are n't you smiling back ? jack : so many nights , i dreamed ... that you would open your eyes ... and say yes as i put that ring on your finger . phyllis : this is no dream . okay ? i 'm back . let 's get married , jack . lily : kelly . hey , what are you doing here ? kelly : hi . oh , well , you know all those events that we have planned this month ? lily : the ones you 've already organized ? kelly : [ chuckles ] well , there 's a lot of fine tuning to do , so i 'll probably be here all night . lily : look , i get that you want to stay busy , but i think maybe you should take some time off , you know ? just go out of town for a few days . i can cover for you . it 's fine . kelly : that 's really sweet of you , but i 'm not gon na hide from my problems , lily . stitch : yeah , that hiding thing -- that 's not really my sister 's thing . lily : hi . uh , i 'll let you two talk . stitch : so , what are we supposed to be talking about ? kelly : jack 's fiancée woke up . stitch : where does that leave you ? kelly : guess . neil : so , does devon want us to wait for him or what ? lily : uh , he 's not coming . cane : yeah , he sent a text saying he 's gon na be out of town for a couple of days . neil : out of town ? where 'd he go ? cane : do n't know , but it was something to do with an antique car show and california . lily : he probably took his secret lover on a romantic getaway . neil : why are you still on that ? i mean , we do n't even know if devon 's actually seeing someone . lily : actually , i do , 'cause i got confirmation . took some badgering , but he finally admitted there 's a special lady in his life . cane : [ chuckles ] hilary : um , devon . what are you doing here ? devon : i could n't stay away . jack : i 'm surprised you remember my proposal ... or anything after the accident . the doctors were n't sure if you could hear us . phyllis : but you proposed away . jack : i had to take my shot . had to let you know you were loved before you ... went away . phyllis : and that you 'd be waiting . jack : i owe you an apology . phyllis : what did you do ? jack : i -- i proposed ... badly . you were n't even conscious . phyllis : oh , jack ... had all the right elements -- the heartfelt declaration and the perfect ring . jack : did you leave that in the clinic ? phyllis : okay . my turn to apologize . i , um ... had to pawn your beautiful ring . i left the clinic . i did n't have a wallet , i did n't have credit cards ... jack : why did n't you call me when you woke up ? why did you risk your health by trying to come back here alone ? you know what could 've happened to you if you 'd passed out in some rest stop without an i.d . ? phyllis : i was trying to get home to summer and you . but we can buy back that ring , and you can put it back on my finger again . only this time , you 're not gon na have to wait a year to hear me say yes . kelly : jack was n't looking for anything serious when we got together . i mean , he told me his heart always belonged to phyllis . stitch : then why did he ask you to move in ? kelly : well , he did n't think that she was gon na get any better . he 's a good guy , ben . i 'm the one who let my guard down and fell too hard too fast . stitch : i guess there 's nothing like hindsight . kelly : victoria ? stitch : you know , when we started , i knew i was the rebound guy . her being with me was all about needing to forget about billy for a moment or two . next thing i know , i was thinking about a future with victoria , a family ... kelly : sweetie , i 'm so sorry that things did n't work out for you , but i think that victoria really cares about you . i do . i mean , and anybody could see that . plus , there 's a chance you could be the father of her child . i mean , that changes everything . stitch : does it ? kelly : yes ! people are bonded by their children . phyllis and jack share a daughter . victoria and billy share a son . stitch : and a ton of history . billy will always come first with victoria because she loved him first and ca n't seem to stop loving him , so ... kelly : so ... where does that leave us ? we do n't stand a chance . stitch : i 'd love to tell you different , sis . but i 'd be lying to you , and that 's what got me in this whole mess . victoria : nothing has changed . okay ? i am living my life , and billy is moving on with his . abby : trying to , maybe , but chelsea is totally wrong for him . victoria : billy does n't think so . what brought him to the hospital last night was fear -- the thought of ... losing another child . abby : it 'll be a year tomorrow . victoria : it seems like yesterday . i remember ... her running out of the house that night , a big smile on her face , going to the school play . abby : just seems like everything went haywire after that night . victoria : it 's kind of like we 're living in this alternate universe where nothing really makes sense anymore . abby : do you ever think about it , how different things would be if delia had n't died ? victoria : yeah , she 'd be home right now , playing with johnny . abby : and billy would still be with you , looking forward to the birth of your baby . and there 'd be no kelly and no stitch and definitely no chelsea to complicate things . billy : adam may be dead , but you are keeping his memory alive and well by living in his penthouse and sleeping in his bed . i 'm keeping my dead husband 's memory alive for my son . kind of deserves to know who his father was . billy : well , i 'll be happy to enlighten the kid when he 's old enough to understand . chelsea : okay . you hate adam . i get it . um ... but what 's with the disappearing act ? i - i thought that we were going for something more substantial than `` friends with benefits . `` billy : i thought so , too . chelsea : well , then how does sneaking out while i 'm sleeping play into that ? billy : well , i did n't want to interrupt your dream . it sounded like a good one , the way you were purring adam 's name . lily : i can not believe that you two are n't more curious . i mean , devon has n't been serious about somebody since roxy , and that was before he inherited $ 2 billion . what if this girl 's all for his money or something ? you should find out what 's going on ? cane : whoa , whoa . me ? why do i have to do it ? lily : 'cause you 're the brother - in - law . i 'm sure he 'd feel more comfortable talking to you than me . cane : i agree with you there . we should stop pushing . lily : but , honey , i just want everyone to be as happy as we are . neil : mm - hmm . i 'll admit , the love of a good woman can make a difference . hilary : is -- is neil okay ? you did n't tell him about us ? devon : no , i did n't . hilary : okay . devon : how do you like new york ? hilary : you came all the way to new york to ask me about new york ? devon : what do you think ? hilary : i said we would n't do this , devon . did neil tell you that we got arrested for being in a bar fight ? hilary : you took my blind , recovering , alcoholic husband to a bar ? devon : it was for nick newman 's bachelor party . there are pictures of all of us in lockup . there 's jack and sharon , cane , lily ... hilary : whoa . lily ? devon : yeah . it was all over the place . hilary : wow . how did i miss this ? been so busy with work , i have n't been able to catch up on my g.c . buzz . which , um ... i have to get back to . so ... devon : did neil not call and tell you about it ? hilary : no . he has n't exactly been checking in . devon : do you miss him ? hilary : yes . i do . devon : okay . hilary : it 's been kind of a relief ... not having to ... deal with his calls . devon : why do you say that ? hilary : neil thinks i 've been faithful . and every time i hear his voice ... i hate lying to him . devon : why do n't we stop ? hilary : we have . devon : no , i mean stop hiding the truth from him ? hilary : i 'm not gon na hurt neil . devon : hilary , i hurt . do you ? missing how you feel in my arms hurts . everything about you -- gus : you know what ? just stop , all right ? this attraction , it just -- devon : really ? `` attraction `` ? can you not find a better word ? hilary : devon ... devon : i 'm serious . find a word for my life not making sense without you in it . find a word for everything that i do , i think , i see , and feel . it all leads back to you . what do you think that word is ? it 's love . hilary , i love you . do you still ? chelsea : so , i happened to have a dream about adam , and you 're making this into -- billy : it was n't just that , although saying another man 's name in bed is pretty bad . chelsea : you are unbelievable . i was sleeping ! billy : and you are still attached to adam . he is constantly on your mind . chelsea : he was a huge part of my life , billy . but i 'm in a relationship with you now , and what i had with adam -- billy : look , last night was not the first time that you imagined adam walking through that door . chelsea : you do n't turn around when you hear a little girl laughing and expect to see delia ? i 'm sorry . i should n't have said that . billy : no , you 're right . i 'm always thinking about dee dee . so thanks for making my point . chelsea : what -- what is your point , exactly ? billy : that even though adam is dead , you ca n't stop hoping and wishing that somehow he might come back into your life . chelsea : i want him to come back into connor 's life . because no matter what you think about adam on a personal level , he loved his son . you ca n't deny that . billy : but what about my little girl ? you talk about what it is that connor deserves ? well , delia deserved a hell of lot more than to be left by the side of the road by that coward . so while you 're knocking yourself out to preserve adam 's memory for your son ... that 's the image that is seared into my head , chelsea ... me sitting there , holding my ... my precious little girl , begging her to hold on . a year later , it does n't get any easier . just ... look , i thought that i could handle this ... that you were married to the man who ... who killed my daughter ... but as it turns out , i ca n't . jack : i will take care of this . phyllis : when ? jack : soon . phyllis : how soon ? jack : phyllis ... phyllis : the sooner you unpawn the ring , the sooner we can make that dream of yours a reality . jack : you need rest right now . we will talk about our future once you 're out of the hospital . phyllis : how did you do it , jack ? jack : what , how did i deal with you ? well , it was work , but i figured out how to do it . phyllis : i 'm talking about this past year . more than 12 months of hand - holding and one - sided conversations with me lying there like a lump . jack : eh , you were n't that lumpy . phyllis : but you had to think i might never wake up , but here i am . jack : thank god . phyllis : well , then will you stop looking so worried ? will you please just give your brain and your heart an update ? we will have a future together . jack : okay . phyllis : that is , if you still want to marry me . jack : i never stopped loving you , red . phyllis : i love you , too , very much .

[ scene_break ] amanda : he basically just grilled me about cara and tad . jake : and what happened ? amanda : and i jumped on the cara and tad wedding train , hopefully convinced him how in love they are . what ? was that wrong ? jake : no . he just has n't spoken with anybody yet . it 's so weird that he would call you first . amanda : he did n't . i called him . i know that that sounds strange , but i just was feeling so bad for wishing that cara would just disappear that i was hoping that vouching for her and tad would kind of make up for all that . jake : so you called him , and you offered an interview ? amanda : and he called me right back . he said he was gon na be talking to all of us anyway . he may as well start with me , since i volunteered . jake : thank you . seriously , thanks . amanda : i just want to help . i would never forgive myself if something -- jake : listen , that 's the last time i 'm ever gon na hear that come out of your mouth , ok ? because whatever 's happening to cara has got nothing to do with you . it 's not your fault . i got to go back to work . i 'll see you tonight , all right ? later . tonight . [ scene_break ] cara : griff , i get it . we have n't worked out all the details yet , but -- griffin : it 's kind of a big detail , do n't you think ? tad : i know i 've got some catching up to do . we both do . we 'll be up to speed on everything . i swear it , ok ? but the good news is it 's not like we hate each other . we actually get along . we 're in synch . as a matter of fact , i got an idea , ok ? let this be a lesson . in the meantime , somebody asks us a question , and you 're not sure of the answer , you make a signal , and the other one jumps in and answers it . cara : what ? my signal ? tad : yeah , a signal . just something like scratching your nose . griffin : would you listen to yourselves ? this is n't a game ! ok ? you 're trying to convince people that you 're in love . you mess up like you just did in front of anyone else , game over . cara : i thought this was n't a game . sorry . tad : he 's right . it 's not a game or a joke . the stakes are too high , ok ? so in spite of our easy rapport , we have to make sure our stories are straight . and in spite of me being me , i assure you if i 'm willing to go through something like this , i 'm gon na do everything i can to protect your sister . griffin : you better . tad : i know we 'll have your help , but it would mean a lot to me if we also had your blessing . griffin : you have my blessing . tad : thank you . it 's ok , all right ? no , we 'll take care of it . he 's gon na like me . he just does n't know it yet . but he does have a point , so what do you say ? after you get off , we meet up at my place . we do some serious homework by telling all about me , you tell me all about you . and just make sure you 're ready , because god knows i 'm fascinating . cara : i do n't doubt that . tad : so it 's a date ? cara : it 's a date . thank you . really . jake : so you guys have a big date ? what , did opal lift your curfew ? tad : funny . it 's cute . no , this one 's more business than pleasure . griffin just asked us a basic question about the wedding , and we managed to come up with opposite answers . so we 're gon na get together later and make sure it does n't happen again . i 'll see you , all right ? cara : yes . so -- jake : so i just have to say it , because i 'm thinking it . and i know why you had to do it , and i know you did n't have a choice , but he 's my brother . it 's just weird .

[ scene_break ] kate : look , i admit that i made a mistake trying to break up belle and shawn , but this thing with sami and lucas is completely different . philip : how do you figure ? kate : have you forgotten sami destroyed austin 's life ? and she 's gon na do the same thing with lucas . it 's only a matter of time . philip : you know that 's not true . he 's never been happier . kate : have you seen him ? because he 's miserable . philip : because of the dimeras , mainly e.j . wells . kate : okay , fine , fine . we 'll just blame the whole thing on e.j . philip : she loves him , mom . kate : you know , she probably does love e.j . god knows they 're two of a kind . philip : you know i meant lucas . say what you want . sami has changed . i really think she 's a different person now . kate : she is not a different person . no one changes that much , especially not sami . philip : so what you 're saying is it 's okay for you to interfere , but when it comes to me , it 's not all right . kate : what i 'm doing is trying to protect my son . what you 're doing is interfering between belle and shawn for purely selfish reasons , philip . philip : that is rich coming from you . kate : the point is you are now running a global corporation . you are poised to be a very powerful man . the last thing you want to do is find yourself caught in the arms of another man 's wife . philip : belle is n't shawn 's wife . and i intend to make sure she never will be . [ scene_break ] belle : believe me , hope , there is nothing i want more than to be shawn 's wife . hope : are you sure about that ? belle : i 've been sure about that since high school . i had one weak moment and it 's over . hope : does philip know that ? belle : yes . i told him it was a mistake and that it would never happen again . hope : and did he accept it ? because he 's one who is used to getting his own way . belle : well , he has to accept it whether he likes it or not . hope : he does n't give up that easily . belle : i do n't care . he can do whatever he wants . he can try whatever he wants , but i will never betray shawn again . not as long as i live . hope : i want to believe you . belle : you can . hope : i need your word . promise me you wo n't hurt shawn . belle : i promise you . i swear on my life . hope : okay . belle : thank you . i 'll never forget this . hope : neither will i . belle : and what about bo ? hope : what about bo ? belle : do you think he 'll keep my secret ? hope : i think bo will do whatever he thinks is best for his son . [ scene_break ] bo : no , no , no . i 'm not beating around the bush . i 'm just -- you know , maybe now is n't the best time to rush into this . shawn d. : no , dad , it 's more than that . i know you . plus , you were n't saying this a week ago . so it 's got to be something else . what is it , the academy ? you do n't think i 'm gon na get in ? bo : no . come january , you 'll get into the academy . you 'll be a great cop . shawn d. : well , then , that just leaves one more thing . this has something to do with belle . bo : shawn ... it 's got something to do with both of you . i mean , the two of you have been married before . you committed yourself to other people for the rest of your lives . shawn d. : the only reason why those marriages failed is 'cause we were meant to be with each other -- not with mimi and not with philip . dad , what is it that you 're not telling me here ? what are you afraid is gon na happen if i marry her ? [ scene_break ] lucas : you do n't have to do this . you do n't have to do this today or any other day . i do n't care about stefano . if he dies , you do n't have to marry e.j . e.j . : you know , i 'm afraid my father is as excited about the wedding as i am , so he 's going to be awfully unhappy if we have to postpone it . sami : e.j . , please . lucas : i gave you the annulment . i signed the divorce papers , but the idea of you marrying this guy 36 hours from now -- e.j . : maybe , lucas , you 've forgotten about what happened to john black and the vendetta . lucas : i do n't care about the vendetta . it 's all part of your twisted plan to get sami to marry you . sami : lucas , my stepfather is still dead . lucas : right . yeah , and my mom was shot at and your dad was stabbed . they did that to manipulate you , and you let them do it . we let them do it . e.j . : oh , please . need i remind you that this vendetta has been going on since before i was born ? sami : the brady 's have been terrorized and tortured for decades . the vendetta is real . but it is gon na end ... tomorrow night for good . lucas : then i guess i 'll leave you to plan your wedding . you do n't have much time , do you ? e.j . : i 'm sorry he could n't understand . sami : you are not sorry about anything . e.j . : let 's not argue , shall we ? it 's the eve of our wedding . it 's the beginning of a new time for our families . speaking of which ... get me my son , samantha . now . [ scene_break ] lucas : you know what you 're doing . you 're forcing my wife to marry your lunatic son . stefano : yes , and when she does , the war between the families will end , eh ? elvis ' marriage to samantha means that the feud will be over forever . so , you see , lucas , your sacrifice certainly will not be in vain . lucas : i do n't believe it . i do n't believe anything you say , not for a moment . e.j . is just like his father , is n't he ? stefano : ah . [ chuckles ] one can hope . lucas : yeah , he 'll do anything , anything to go after what he wants . stefano : well , i do n't know . i mean , i think there are a few things probably i would not do . lucas : but you 'd sacrifice my mother , right ? after everything she 's done for you , you sacrifice her like that ? i ca n't believe this . it makes me sick . stefano : what the hell are you talking about ? lucas : all to prove a point , you sent your goons . they opened fire on my mother and they almost killed her . stefano : kate ? i would never hurt her for any reason . and i know you believe that . lucas : give me one good reason why i should believe it . stefano : because if i wanted somebody dead , they would be . lucas : you mean like john ? stefano : this attack on kate , where is this happening ? lucas : you know what ? go to hell . go to hell . i 'll figure it out myself . stefano : [ chuckles ] someone should teach you some manners , you little pip- squeak .

[ scene_break ] belle : um ... hope : i 'm impressed . belle : look , this was all shawn 's idea . hope : i do n't doubt that . belle : look , i know it 's sudden . i know that it 's impulsive , but what was i supposed to say ? no ? he would have asked why . hope : see , that 's what lies do , belle . they grow . [ scene_break ] sami : tomorrow night ? lucas : must be out of your mind . sami : look , i need time . i need more time . e.j . : why ? why do you need more time , hmm ? the babies are born . you got divorced . i really ca n't think of any reason to delay . lucas : you heard what she said . if she needs more time , give her more time . e.j . : all of the arrangements have been made , you understand . all you need to do , my dear , is turn up and look beautiful . and in 36 hours , you and i will be husband and wife . [ scene_break ] shawn d. : all right , dad , lay it on me . bo : what ? shawn d. : you 're obviously hankering for a father - son talk , and if this is the `` facts of life `` speech , you 're way late . bo : no , that 's not what this is about . well , maybe a little . here -- i think you 're , you know , just kind of busy these days , trying to get your career together , trying to find a place to live . maybe now is n't the best time . shawn d. : dad , where is this coming from ? your granddaughter 's parents are getting married . she 's finally gon na have a real family . you and mom were even hassling me about making belle an honest woman . what 's changed ? bo : um ... claire , as far as i 'm concerned , already has a family . i mean , you and belle getting hitched , that 's good , as long as it 's what 's best for everybody . shawn d. : and how is it not ? okay , you know ... you 're right . right now probably is n't the best time . and my life is far from settled , but , dad , if we do n't do this and we wait for everything to be perfect , we may never do it . bo : okay , i hear you . i just -- i just want to make sure this is what you really want . shawn d. : dad , i love belle . i 've loved her since the day we first met . she 's as committed to me as i am to her . come on , heck -- i even gave up everything , traveled halfway around the world to protect her and claire . what more do i have to do to prove it ? bo : you do n't have to prove anything , believe me . look , you guys -- you -- yes , you 've been through a lot together and sometimes you get caught up in the emotion . you do n't see the big picture . shawn d. : dad , you 've never been very good about beating around the bush . why do n't you just come out and tell me what 's on your mind ? [ scene_break ] belle : there wo n't be a need for any more lies . i meant what i said to you , hope . what happened with philip and me will never happen again . hope : it better not . belle : i was n't thinking straight , and i know that 's not an excuse . hope : no , it 's not , but you know what ? i 'm not gon na lecture you . [ sighs ] i want my son to be happy . but if you 're marrying him out of guilt -- belle : i 'm marrying him because i love him . and i will make him happy . i 'll make him happier than anybody else ever could . hope : which is exactly why we 've decided not to tell him . belle : we ? are you saying that you told bo ? bo knows ? hope : keeping secrets destroys marriages . belle : but you said -- hope : that i would n't tell shawn . belle : so he just hates me now . hope : bo knows as well as i do that people make mistakes . what counts is what you do afterward . belle : and i 'm gon na make you see how sorry i am . i swear . hope : belle , you have to want this marriage as much as shawn . and quite frankly , i 'm not convinced of that . [ scene_break ] kate : okay , what 's going on ? philip : what do you mean ? kate : well , you just said you 're the man that she 's in love with . how could you be so sure ? philip : i really am very busy . kate : oh , philip . has something happened between the two of you ? philip : no . nothing happened . not yet . kate : well , it better not . not ever . because belle is with shawn now . she left you for him , remember ? philip : thanks for reminding me . kate : i think you need to be reminded . philip : you do n't know how it is . kate : how what is ? philip : when she and i are together , there 's something still there . belle feels it , too , but she 's afraid of it . kate : oh , god . afraid of what ? philip : she does n't want to admit , even to herself , that the only reason she 's with shawn is because he 's claire 's biological father . she 's willing to sacrifice her own happiness for her daughter , which is one of the things i love about her . kate : philip ... oh , god . philip : she belongs with me , mom . i just have to convince her . kate : no . no , you do n't have to convince her of that . and the last time we tried to force things with her , we both got hurt . philip : not this time . this time i do n't have to force anything . kate : this is crazy . philip : what 's crazy about it ? kate : `` what 's crazy ? `` if you love her the way you say you do , then you let her go , respect her decision to be with shawn . philip : you mean the way you did when they were together before ? and the way you respect lucas ' choice to be with sami ? [ scene_break ] sami : [ sighs ] 36 hours ? that is not enough time . that 's not possible . lucas : you made all the arrangements ? did n't check with sami first ? e.j . : well , not surprising , lucas . i thought she had enough on her hands . lucas : really ? is that how it 's gon na be in your so - called marriage ? you lay down the law and she has no say ? sami : you 're gon na have to think again . e.j . : actually , i was hoping our marriage would be more of an equal partnership . lucas : well , you have been deluding yourself , have n't you ? e.j . : actually , no , i have n't , lucas . i 'm quite painfully aware of the fact that samantha does not share my feelings . but in spite of that , i 'm willing to go ahead with the marriage on her terms for her family . i do n't see how that makes me a bad guy . lucas : you do n't give a damn about the brady 's , do you ? all you care about is yourself and getting my wife in your bed . e.j . : actually , she 's your ex - wife , lucas . sami : okay , okay . you know what ? stop it , all right ? i just ... want this all to work . and that is not enough time , all right ? i just got back . i have to get the twins settled , get them on a schedule . it 's gon na take at least a couple weeks . e.j . : unfortunately , we do n't have weeks . my father has taken a bit of a turn for the worse . lucas : he does that like clockwork , does n't he , except he never seems to pass on . he just sticks around . e.j . : well , he 's going back to italy . this wedding may be the last chance i get to see him , so it has to be tomorrow . we do n't have a choice . [ scene_break ] kate : look , i admit that i made a mistake trying to break up belle and shawn , but this thing with sami and lucas is completely different . philip : how do you figure ? kate : have you forgotten sami destroyed austin 's life ? and she 's gon na do the same thing with lucas . it 's only a matter of time . philip : you know that 's not true . he 's never been happier . kate : have you seen him ? because he 's miserable . philip : because of the dimeras , mainly e.j . wells . kate : okay , fine , fine . we 'll just blame the whole thing on e.j . philip : she loves him , mom . kate : you know , she probably does love e.j . god knows they 're two of a kind . philip : you know i meant lucas . say what you want . sami has changed . i really think she 's a different person now . kate : she is not a different person . no one changes that much , especially not sami . philip : so what you 're saying is it 's okay for you to interfere , but when it comes to me , it 's not all right . kate : what i 'm doing is trying to protect my son . what you 're doing is interfering between belle and shawn for purely selfish reasons , philip . philip : that is rich coming from you . kate : the point is you are now running a global corporation . you are poised to be a very powerful man . the last thing you want to do is find yourself caught in the arms of another man 's wife . philip : belle is n't shawn 's wife . and i intend to make sure she never will be . [ scene_break ] belle : believe me , hope , there is nothing i want more than to be shawn 's wife . hope : are you sure about that ? belle : i 've been sure about that since high school . i had one weak moment and it 's over . hope : does philip know that ? belle : yes . i told him it was a mistake and that it would never happen again . hope : and did he accept it ? because he 's one who is used to getting his own way . belle : well , he has to accept it whether he likes it or not . hope : he does n't give up that easily . belle : i do n't care . he can do whatever he wants . he can try whatever he wants , but i will never betray shawn again . not as long as i live . hope : i want to believe you . belle : you can . hope : i need your word . promise me you wo n't hurt shawn . belle : i promise you . i swear on my life . hope : okay . belle : thank you . i 'll never forget this . hope : neither will i . belle : and what about bo ? hope : what about bo ? belle : do you think he 'll keep my secret ? hope : i think bo will do whatever he thinks is best for his son . [ scene_break ] bo : no , no , no . i 'm not beating around the bush . i 'm just -- you know , maybe now is n't the best time to rush into this . shawn d. : no , dad , it 's more than that . i know you . plus , you were n't saying this a week ago . so it 's got to be something else . what is it , the academy ? you do n't think i 'm gon na get in ? bo : no . come january , you 'll get into the academy . you 'll be a great cop . shawn d. : well , then , that just leaves one more thing . this has something to do with belle . bo : shawn ... it 's got something to do with both of you . i mean , the two of you have been married before . you committed yourself to other people for the rest of your lives . shawn d. : the only reason why those marriages failed is 'cause we were meant to be with each other -- not with mimi and not with philip . dad , what is it that you 're not telling me here ? what are you afraid is gon na happen if i marry her ? [ scene_break ] lucas : you do n't have to do this . you do n't have to do this today or any other day . i do n't care about stefano . if he dies , you do n't have to marry e.j . e.j . : you know , i 'm afraid my father is as excited about the wedding as i am , so he 's going to be awfully unhappy if we have to postpone it . sami : e.j . , please . lucas : i gave you the annulment . i signed the divorce papers , but the idea of you marrying this guy 36 hours from now -- e.j . : maybe , lucas , you 've forgotten about what happened to john black and the vendetta . lucas : i do n't care about the vendetta . it 's all part of your twisted plan to get sami to marry you . sami : lucas , my stepfather is still dead . lucas : right . yeah , and my mom was shot at and your dad was stabbed . they did that to manipulate you , and you let them do it . we let them do it . e.j . : oh , please . need i remind you that this vendetta has been going on since before i was born ? sami : the brady 's have been terrorized and tortured for decades . the vendetta is real . but it is gon na end ... tomorrow night for good . lucas : then i guess i 'll leave you to plan your wedding . you do n't have much time , do you ? e.j . : i 'm sorry he could n't understand . sami : you are not sorry about anything . e.j . : let 's not argue , shall we ? it 's the eve of our wedding . it 's the beginning of a new time for our families . speaking of which ... get me my son , samantha . now . [ scene_break ] lucas : you know what you 're doing . you 're forcing my wife to marry your lunatic son . stefano : yes , and when she does , the war between the families will end , eh ? elvis ' marriage to samantha means that the feud will be over forever . so , you see , lucas , your sacrifice certainly will not be in vain . lucas : i do n't believe it . i do n't believe anything you say , not for a moment . e.j . is just like his father , is n't he ? stefano : ah . [ chuckles ] one can hope . lucas : yeah , he 'll do anything , anything to go after what he wants . stefano : well , i do n't know . i mean , i think there are a few things probably i would not do . lucas : but you 'd sacrifice my mother , right ? after everything she 's done for you , you sacrifice her like that ? i ca n't believe this . it makes me sick . stefano : what the hell are you talking about ? lucas : all to prove a point , you sent your goons . they opened fire on my mother and they almost killed her . stefano : kate ? i would never hurt her for any reason . and i know you believe that . lucas : give me one good reason why i should believe it . stefano : because if i wanted somebody dead , they would be . lucas : you mean like john ? stefano : this attack on kate , where is this happening ? lucas : you know what ? go to hell . go to hell . i 'll figure it out myself . stefano : [ chuckles ] someone should teach you some manners , you little pip- squeak . [ scene_break ] kate : please do n't waste your time and energy . belle and shawn getting married is a forgone conclusion . philip : then why have n't they done it yet ? it 's been months since they got back from tinda lao . kate : i do n't know . philip : well , i do . someone 's not ready and it 's not shawn . kate : just because belle is n't ready to marry shawn does n't mean that she 's in love with you . philip : i have a board meeting . is there something you need ? kate : yes . well , actually , i wanted to just give you some news . sami and lucas are back from santo domingo , she got the divorce , and she 's gon na marry e.j . philip : you finally did it . you got what you 've been after . kate : i had nothing to do with it . philip : enjoy your victory , mother . you 've earned it . it made me realize there 's hope for me yet . [ scene_break ] shawn d. : so , come on , dad . let 's have it . is there some reason why you do n't want me to marry belle ? bo : no , no . i love belle . you know that . i think she 's a great girl . she 'll make a great wife . shawn d. : yeah , i could n't ask for anything better . bo : [ chuckles ] shawn d. : look , i know i got a lot of things in my life that i need to work on . and i will , but having belle by my side makes me feel like i can do anything . it 's kind of like you with mom . bo : yeah , right . shawn d. : so , you got nothing to worry about . it 's all good . bo : if you say so . shawn d. : i know so . so , how about a toast ? to my future bride to be . bo : to belle . shawn d. : to the love of my life -- the next in a long line of great brady women . [ scene_break ] belle : i know that you and bo only want what 's best for shawn . hope : for shawn . for claire . for you . belle : well , what if bo thinks that it 's best for shawn that he finds out -- hope : that you cheated on shawn and slept with philip ? there 's no guarantee that he wo n't . trust is very important to him . belle : so he could be down there telling him right now . hope : he could be . [ scene_break ] bo : where do you plan on having this wedding ? hope : i guess you 'll find out right now . shawn d. : i still got to figure that out . belle : hey , guys . what happened to you two ? shawn d. : me and my dad were just talking . took him a while to finally say what he had to say . belle : oh . which was ? shawn d. : we 're good to go , baby . he gave us his blessing . hope : oh ! well , i did n't know that you ... needed a formal blessing . but if that 's what it takes and it matters ... you have mine as well . belle : [ laughs ] [ scene_break ] sami : he just woke up . e.j . : bet he 's anxious to see his father . sami : how did you get the court order so fast ? e.j . : you have to ask ? that 's my son ? can i hold him ? sami : i 'd rather you did n't . shh . e.j . : please , just for a minute . sami : come here and sit down . put that on your shoulder . come here , sweetie . e.j . : hi . sami : watch his neck . watch his neck . e.j . : i got it . it 's okay . you 're not too keen on me , huh ? sami : e.j . this is it . from this moment on , for the rest of your life , nothing will ever be the same . because right now and forever , that child is the most important thing in the world , and his needs have to come first ... before yours and mine ... and before stefano 's . e.j . : of course . always . sami : what little johnny needs ... is to be with his sister . e.j . : okay . he can stay here tonight . but tomorrow , after the wedding , we start our lives together , the three of us as a family . is n't that right , gianni ? yes . your mummy and me and you are all gon na live happily ever after . [ scene_break ] kate : yeah , so , i think the best thing to do is just to push back that 3 : 00 to 4 : 00 . lucas : hang up the phone . kate : and reschedule the conference call . i 'll call you back . what 's wrong ? if you 're looking for philip , he - lucas : i 'm not looking for philip . stefano told me he had nothing to do with your attack . kate : really ? well , i suppose that could be true . although it 's hard to believe anything that comes out of his mouth these days . lucas : yeah , well , i believe this . kate : why ? lucas : because you 're not a brady . that 's why . there 's no vendetta against you . kate : well , honey , john black was n't a brady , either . lucas : remember what caroline said ? he was an honorary brady . kate : okay , fine . i was married to a brady . lucas : this has got your name all over it -- yours and e.j . 's . kate : what ? do you think i cut my forehead ? do you think i had someone shoot at me ? what would be the reason for that ? lucas : i do n't know . i was trying to figure that on my way over here . kate : oh , okay , well , do share . lucas : you pushed me . you pushed me . you made up this whole thing just so i 'd go along with the divorce . kate : you know , i resent that accusation . that really hurts me . lucas : really ? it hurts you ? kate : what are you doing ? lucas : getting to the bottom of this . i 'm finding out the truth right now . [ scene_break ] [ cellphone rings ] sami : thank you . e.j . : hello ? lucas : e.j . , it 's lucas . i 'm with my mom right now , and she just admitted that you two staged that whole thing -- the shooting . yeah , there was n't anybody after her , but you gave her no choice . e.j . : please , it was her idea . lucas : that 's all i needed to know . kate : look , if you 're gon na take his word ... lucas : did it again , did n't you ? you betrayed me . lucas : this is just unbelievable . i can not believe you did this to me . you 've done some low things in the past , but this takes the cake . kate : lucas . lucas : you schemed , you plotted with e.j . and stefano against me , your own son ? what kind of mother does that , huh ? what you did to john is making me sick . you 're supposed to be his friend . you 're using his death and the guilt that sami felt over it to get what you want . kate : that does n't have anything to do with anything , all right ? the divorce was sami 's idea , lucas . lucas : and i agreed to it because of you , to protect you because i cared about you . i ca n't believe i did that . kate : and it 's because i care that i did it . lucas : do n't even start that . i do n't even want to hear that . kate : lucas , i was scared , all right ? i knew in my heart that sami 's right , that none of us are going to be safe until she marries e.j . lucas : you do n't care about the brady 's . you do n't have any concern for them . kate : yes , i do care . i do care . and it 's not just about the brady 's , all right ? as long as this war is going on , anyone can be caught in the cross fire , and that means my family . i want it to end . i want it to all end . lucas : no , you do n't . no , this vendetta was a godsend for you . kate : do n't say that . how can you say that ? lucas : you finally got what you wanted . you wanted to break up my marriage . you did it . well , you know what ? you 've lost me and this time for good . you 've lost me and your grandchildren forever . [ scene_break ] e.j . : he is so beautiful . sami : they both are . e.j . : i know , but he 's special . i mean , you can see that in his eyes . sami : you did n't answer my question , e.j . e.j . : which question would that be ? sami : why did lucas call you ? what did he want ? e.j . : you know , the usual threats and accusations . sami : i heard you say , `` it was all her idea . `` whose ? kate 's ? e.j . : i 'm afraid you 'll have to ask lucas that . i do think it 's a shame that he does n't understand what you and i are doing for your family and for him , by the way . sami : you mean what we 're being forced to do . e.j . : samantha , we have an amazing son . and i know that you do n't believe this right now , but we 're really going to be very happy together -- the three of us , you know . we 're going to be a real family in every single sense of the word . sami : what do you know about family ? e.j . : you 're about to find out . and what you find out ... may surprise you . i 'll see you tomorrow night .

[ scene_break ] belle : so , you were gone a long time . are you sure your dad 's really okay with us getting married ? shawn d. : both my folks were kind of in shock . guess they just were n't expecting this to happen so soon . belle : yeah , well , thanksgiving 's pretty quick . shawn d. : yeah . the bottom line is they love you . and they support us . and on thanksgiving , i 'm gon na be giving thanks for the best thing that ever happened to me . belle : so will i . [ scene_break ] sami : you 're wrong . i love lucas with all of my heart . the only reason i 'm marrying e.j . is to protect my family . colleen : never heard you say it . sami : the only thing i feel for him is disgust . colleen : if that were true , there 's nothing on god 's green earth that could make you become his wife . sami : what , you think i do n't care about ending the vendetta and my family 's pain and suffering ? colleen : i think it 's a great consolation to you and it helps you ease your guilt . sami : what are you even doing here ? what do you want ? colleen : i want to help you see that you do n't need excuses and lies . a stone 's not a potato no matter how you cook it . sami : are you lecturing me ? you 're the reason this vendetta started in the first place -- you and santo . colleen : and it 's only fitting that you be the one to end it the right way , the way it was meant to be . sami : what was so special about that guy anyway ? what was so special about santo that it made you willing to walk away from your family , turn your back on everything that was important to you ? colleen : the same things you see in his grandson -- danger , desire . like nothing you 've ever known . freedom , too . to be the woman i truly was , not who others wanted me to be . sami : that 's not how it is for me . colleen : no . i think it is . you and i , we are alike . you only have to look in the mirror . sami : that is only -- colleen : then look inside yourself and you 'll see the man you desire most .

[ scene_break ] aj : you 're damn right i blame sonny and carly . michael : well , do n't . aj : michael , the only reason that you went to prison was because of sonny 's so - called `` business . `` he exposed you to this life . he exposed you to that violence , and carly made it happen by insisting that he was a better father than i was . michael : this is why i did n't tell you . you guys are already at each other 's throats . aj : michael , i do n't get why you defend them . i mean , they nearly destroyed you . the reason the judge made an example of you was because of sonny corinthos being your so - called father . michael : the only person to blame for me going to prison is me .

[ scene_break ] michael : i was in prison , because i killed claudia . aj : you were defending carly and your sister . you never would have been in that situation in the first place if it was n't for sonny 's mob vendetta . michael : my dad was n't there that night . i 'm the one who picked up the ax handle and swung it at claudia without giving her a chance to put josslyn down . claudia 's death is on me , nobody else .

[ scene_break ] franco : our little lauren is the great grandchild of a quartermaine , which is really cool in a tie - breaker kind of way . but i am the grandchild of the late , great , and powerful edward quartermaine , which gives me an even bigger piece of the pie . ava : and i should care why ? franco : because my shares make lauren 's shares irrelevant . and you have nothing to gain by having irrelevant shares . however , you and i can once again , just for old time 's sake , come up with an arrangement that is mutually beneficial . ava : if you think i 'd give you face time with lauren to get those shares , you are insane . franco : we have already established that you consider me completely insane . there is , however , a deal on the table . so what do you say ? ava : i say go to hell . franco : been there , done that .

[ scene_break ] alexis : everyone thought franco was dead . why did n't he just stay dead ? and why did he come back here ? he could have gone anywhere to torture people , so he comes back here , and all he does is land himself in jail . sam : yeah , he said it was a redemption . alexis : redemption . great . good luck with that . we got to go inside . come on , guys . silas : hi , sam . sorry it 's come to this . sam : then stop . silas : rafe should be with his family . sam : i am his family . i provide rafe with a supportive , secure home . you , on the other hand , are a stranger who looks exactly like the psychopath who killed his mother while making him watch . silas : i ca n't help that . sam : yes , you can . go away . silas : do n't worry . this will all be over soon enough . alexis : i hope you have a good lawyer . diane : he has the best . alexis : diane ? diane : hi , honey . sam , i am so sorry . i just heard . is it true that franco is alive and in lockup ? sam : forget franco . are you seriously representing this jerk ? diane : this jerk happens to be a well - respected doctor . sam : i do n't care if he 's cured cancer . he 's trying to take rafe away from the only supportive home he 's ever had . diane : my client is trying to provide a family for rafe . alexis : really ? why does it have to be you who represents him ? diane : i am only thinking of the best interest of the minor , a minor , i might add , that you got me involved with . sam : you 're not gon na get away with this . bailiff : all rise . the honorable judge leland cole presiding . rafe : this is bad , is n't it ? bailiff : be seated .

[ scene_break ] morgan : wait . did n't you tell me that your dad died before you were born ? kiki : that 's what my mom told me , and guess what . she lied . morgan : so he 's still alive ? kiki : oh . well , no . he 's dead all right . it 's just that he only died a couple of years ago . morgan : why would your mom lie about that , though ? kiki : because she said he was an unstable person . actually , he was really dangerous , so she just wanted to keep him as far away from me as possible . morgan : hey , i 'm sorry . that 's really a lot to deal with , but , i mean , i just do n't get why your mom would bring that up now . kiki : well , it turns out that my father was the black sheep of a very , very rich family , and now they 're trying to find me . [ scene_break ] monica : [ blows nose ] [ crying ] i mean , just the fact that michael -- for him to have survived what he did -- i mean , an assault and in prison , no less . tracy : he 's something else . do not tell him i said that . monica : but then to have to dredge it all back up again -- how is he gon na get through that ? tracy : people do , with counseling and a lot of support . they do n't forget , but they move on with their lives . we 'll make sure michael gets through this . monica : we ? tracy : monica , we 're quartermaines . we have each other 's backs . monica : thank you . damn franco . i mean , as sick as he is , how could he stoop to exploit michael for some twisted reasons of his own ? tracy : how about the fact that he has quartermaine blood flowing through his veins ? monica : oh , god . tracy : oh , no . monica : what ? [ scene_break ] michael : okay , so , since tracy already met with lauren frank 's mother , does this mean that tracy has lauren 's vote ? aj : not yet . i made her a counter offer . all she has to do is put us in touch with franco 's daughter , and we 'll do the rest . michael : and we have more to offer than tracy does . aj : [ sighs ] michael , listen to me . elq is in shambles after the incident at `` the chew . `` i mean , frankly , we 're ripe for a hostile takeover . tracy and i are deadlocked . lauren is our only swing vote . michael : not necessarily .

[ scene_break ] franco : our little lauren is the great grandchild of a quartermaine , which is really cool in a tie - breaker kind of way . but i am the grandchild of the late , great , and powerful edward quartermaine , which gives me an even bigger piece of the pie . ava : and i should care why ? franco : because my shares make lauren 's shares irrelevant . and you have nothing to gain by having irrelevant shares . however , you and i can once again , just for old time 's sake , come up with an arrangement that is mutually beneficial . ava : if you think i 'd give you face time with lauren to get those shares , you are insane . franco : we have already established that you consider me completely insane . there is , however , a deal on the table . so what do you say ? ava : i say go to hell . franco : been there , done that . [ scene_break ] silas : tell me -- your late husband 's alleged line of work -- how did he walk on all those charges ? i , uh , i asked diane , but she would n't tell me . alexis : so you do know how to honor attorney - client privilege . sam : and when you were researching my late husband , that 's how you found diane ? silas : figured a custody case would be a walk in the park for a mob lawyer . diane : alleged mob lawyer . silas : excuse me . i stand corrected . sam : well , that 's interesting , coming from somebody who did n't care about rafe just a few weeks ago . diane : okay . okay . i can see that you are upset , so i am going to do us both the favor of letting you calm down before we discuss this further . silas : if you 'll excuse me -- sam : oh , where do you think you 're going ? silas : back to my hotel to take a bubble bath if you let go of my arm . sam : no , you 're not . we are gon na have this out right here , right now . [ scene_break ] morgan : so , i mean , it 's just been you and your mom this whole time , and now you got new family . that 's got to be exciting . kiki : i guess . morgan : so , what are we talking about ? are we talking about , like , half- sisters and half - brothers or ... kiki : oh , just an uncle and a great aunt . morgan : when are you gon na meet them ? kiki : i do n't know if i am . morgan : why -- why not ? kiki : i did n't know my father my whole life . just because they 're blood relatives does n't make them family . morgan : okay , but have you looked any of them up yet ? i mean -- kiki : why should i ? all rich people are the same .

aiden : so ... now you know the truth . what are you gon na do about it ? you 're an officer of the court . you 're obligated to report that chase accidentally shot his mom ... and i covered it up . hope : before i decide ... anything ... i need you to tell me the whole story . i need to know exactly what happened the night that meredith died . please ... all of it . jj : oh , hey . jennifer : i need to talk to you . jj : later , okay ? jennifer : no , right now . you have been lying to me , and i know everything . nicole : oh , you just relax , rafe , okay ? we can do the interview some other time . tell your mom i hope she feels better , okay ? yeah , you too . daniel : so , uh , rafe is out of town ? nicole : yeah , his mom 's sick , but on the mend . he 'll be back later today . daniel : all right , well , i guess i 'll just check in with him later , then . nicole : yeah , i 'll see him later too . daniel : okay . nicole : okay , bye . daniel : uh , nicole ? i 'm glad i ran into you . serena : hey . sorry i had to run out on you earlier . but at least i got a chance to look at some of my search programs , and i got some info for you about dr. mandrake . melanie : awesome . anything connecting theresa and dr. mandrake , because it 's pretty weird that ... will : what did you want to see me about ? marlena : oh . will : have you read my article ? it , uh -- it just came out . it 's online . the print edition does n't come out until tomorrow , but from what i hear , it 's really having an effect . paul : what do you think ? sonny : my god . you slept with him . paul : i admitted that . but it was only the once -- the one time when you heard the shower running . sonny : you come in here claiming that you still love me . paul : i do . sonny : then how could you do this to me ? male announcer : like sands through the hourglass , so are the days of our lives . [ soft orchestration ] hope : why did meredith think you were trying to kill her ? i 'm sorry . there are just a lot of questions here . i know you were trying to protect chase . so , um ... how did you manage to really cover up what happened ? you 've kept all of this bottled up inside of you all of these years . this had got to be the hardest conversation you 've ever had . but it 's time . aiden : you 're right . marlena : you know what ? i have not read it yet . i will do that on my break , and i 'm sure it 's just terrific . but roman asked a favor of me . he asked if i would please give you this . will : sonny 's wedding ring . paul : sonny , i 'm sorry . i did n't realize this would upset you so much . sonny : seriously ? paul : i mean , the way you acted that night at the hotel . it did n't even seem like it mattered too much . sonny : because i did n't know the man was -- paul : well , i told you . it did n't mean anything to me , 'cause you 're the only person i ever really loved . look , i 'm serious . i even said it in the article , that i 'm still in love with the man who asked me to marry him . maybe it 's our time now . you know ? not just as friends , sonny . we could have it all , together . sonny : after what you did ? paul : come on , sonny . what did you expect ? you told me it was over , to move on . sonny : i did n't tell you to sleep with my husband . introducing new flonase allergy relief nasal spray , aiden : you 're right . you know , hope , uh ... why meredith did some of the things she did ... or why she thought i was trying to kill her , i - i really do n't have , uh -- do n't have answers . hope : you said there were terrible arguments aiden : horrendous . i mean , i - i -- look , i ... i never wanted , never tried to kill her , okay ? i - i may have hated meredith , but i love chase . and i knew that he not only loved his mom , but he -- you know , he -- he needed her . hope : so the video she made ? aiden : look , i have -- i have no idea where she dreamed up those things , you know , really . hope : meredith said you were trying to poison her with antifreeze . aiden : hope , until i saw that video just then ... i had no idea we even had that stuff in the house . look , i do n't want to play blame the victim , okay ? i 'm not -- i - i don't . but the most likely explanation is that meredith , she put it there herself . hope : so she could accuse you ? aiden : i guess . i do n't know . hope : were there any poisons found in her system when she died ? aiden : there were no poisons , hope . there was nothing , nothing but alcohol and plenty of it , 'cause on any given evening , believe me , she was way over the limit . and i never knew what to expect from her , especially with her accusations . look , i - i -- i do n't hate her anymore . hope , in the end , she died trying to protect our son . and every day since then ... i 've been trying to do the same thing ... just trying to protect my son . daniel : so eric told me you apologized to him ... to serena as well . nicole : yeah , well , after the stuff i pulled , i figured it was the least i could do . daniel : it 's a nice gesture . i 'm proud of you . nicole : really ? thanks . i 'm not -- i 'm not trying to gain points with you , you know that , right ? i 'm just -- daniel : well , no , no , i do . just -- between the apologies and refusing to cover the attack on sonny , i ... i mean , hey , you 're -- you 're trying to change . it 's obvious . nicole : i told you i would . daniel : no , i know . and i 'm glad . i mean , when you set your mind on something , you ... and just -- just remember that the change is for you ... not for me . see you . nicole : daniel ... is that all you have to say ? jj : okay , mom , look , i do n't know what you heard , but i never meant to -- jennifer : jj , do n't start lying to me . you left your email open on your computer , and i read the message from your english professor . if you miss one more class , you 're gon na flunk ? jj : look , it 's all a mistake . jennifer : no , it is certainly not a mistake , jj . jj : it 's really not that big of a deal . jennifer : what ? are you kidding me ? it 's huge . how could you miss that many classes ? the semester just started , and you told me that you were acing all of your classes . jj : i 'm sorry . jennifer : so what , we 're gon na go back to old times -- to secrets and telling lies ? jj : well , i 'm not doing drugs , mom . jennifer : i know you 're not doing drugs . but there is something really wrong here , jj . there is something eating at you . and nothing is important enough to sabotage your life like this . is it about this girl that you 've been seeing , the one that you were with last night ? theresa : oh , serena , hi . listen , if you see my cousin eric , could you please tell him that i 'm so sorry i have n't been in touch . i 've just been really swamped lately . serena : uh , yeah , i 'll probably see him later . theresa : great , yeah , i 've just been seeing this really hot guy , you know ? he 's totally obsessed . ca n't leave me alone . just tell him i 'll be in touch , okay ? oh , and this is my , um , sister , or half - sister , eve -- eve larson . eve , this is melanie jonas and -- eve : oh , i 've met melanie . and i was impressed right away -- way too quick to stick her nose where it does n't belong . theresa : oh . serena : [ chuckles ] that 's funny . i got the same vibe about you . eve : do i know you ? have we met ? serena : no . but you remind me of someone i knew . another place , another time maybe . she was a bitch too . theresa : okay , well , it 's always a pleasure . come on , sis . oh , and , you know , when brady and i were dating , he could n't leave me alone for a second , not to mention he could n't keep his hands off of me . but i guess you guys have a very different relationship , huh ? lots of alone time for you . serena : that little loser really hates you . melanie : yeah . she does . serena : why are you digging into her life ? will : i thought we 'd never see this again . marlena : oh , the police , uh , found it when they went through the area again . there were no prints on it , but they were glad to be able to return it . will : i ca n't wait to put this back on sonny 's finger . it 'll be like a whole new beginning for us . paul : sonny , what are you talking about ? one time , okay ? one time i slept with the guy who wrote the article . look , i never slept with your husband . the writer 's name 's ... i ... no . that ca n't be him . will 's your ... sonny : husband . so cut the `` i 'm shocked `` act , because you knew . paul : no , no , sonny , i had no idea . you got to believe me . i swear . sonny : just get out . get out of here ! paul : sonny , please . you never told me your husband 's name . will never even talked about you . for god sakes , he did n't even wear his wedding ring . look , maybe there 's some kind of mix - up , but -- maybe the name of -- of ... sonny : you son of a bitch . if you do n't get out of this room in the next ten seconds ... abe : is everything okay in here ? living with chronic migraine aiden : i mean , when the gun went off , you know , chase -- he went into shock . you know , his little face was chalk white . i reached -- i checked for a pulse , but , uh ... meredith was gone . you know , there was -- there was nothing that could be done . so i , um ... took off chase 's clothes . i scooped them up , and i brought them up to the room . and that 's when i made a decision . you know , i , uh -- so i came running down . i wiped his prints off the gun . i made sure that my prints were on it , and that meredith 's prints were on it . i rearranged the room to make -- make it look like there was a struggle . so , when the police came , you know , um ... hope : you told them the same story you told me ... that meredith was drunk , trying to kill herself ? you tried to stop it , but the gun went off ? you took a huge risk . you easily could have been implicated . aiden : hope , i had to protect chase . yeah , yeah , there were holes in my story . yeah , for one thing , too much time had passed before i called in . but i am a good criminal lawyer , and one thing i know above all -- stick to your story . hope : but some people are still suspicious . aiden : yeah , like bree tjaden . i mean , that woman bought meredith 's lies right from the start . see , the police had to prove that i was guilty , and they couldn't . there was only one person who could prove that i was lying . hope : chase . aiden : yeah . thank god he never remembered . daniel : nicole , uh , you know , as i mentioned earlier , i 'm glad ... that you are making changes in your life , but that does n't -- that does n't change anything for us . what we had ... is over . nicole : i know . you say that every chance you get . but , daniel , can we at least be friends ? daniel : ah , no , we -- we tried that . it just -- it never works , so ... uh , no . nicole : daniel . daniel : um ... have a good day . eve : so paige moved out . theresa : yeah , to live in a dorm . eve : well , it goes deeper than that . she hates me , theresa . she blames me for her breakup with jj . theresa : oh , my god . you know what ? she 's still hung up on who he cheated with ? you know what ? i told her a long time ago if she wants to figure it out , it 's pretty simple . just take his phone and read his texts , you know . jennifer : who is she ? is she someone that i know ? well , whoever she is , she does n't make you happy , because you are still in love with paige . and i know that -- what ? jj : all right , you know what ? mom , stop it . paige and i -- that 's over , okay ? jennifer : yes , you 're over because of eve ... because she ripped the two of you apart , and she threw herself into it , body and soul , right , jj ? jj : no , it was me , okay ? it was all me , 'cause i 'm a total screwup ... always have been , always will be . jennifer : jj . melanie : something weird is going on with theresa . serena : like ? melanie : well , i already told you i overheard that guy , her boyfriend , talking to dr. mandrake , giving him reports about her . serena : yeah . dr. mandrake turns out to be a fertility specialist . melanie : yeah , of all things . serena : okay , so theresa 's trying to get pregnant ? and if she ca n't , that -- that would explain why she got so upset when she was staring at that baby rattle . melanie : i mean , she was n't just upset . she was sobbing when she had that thing in her hand . serena : okay . all right , so she wants to have a baby , and she 's seeing mandrake . melanie : i do n't think so , though . why would clint be calling in reports on theresa ? why would n't she just go see dr. mandrake herself ? and to be honest , i do n't think that she wants to be pregnant , because when she thought she was pregnant with brady 's kid a little while ago , she was relieved when she found out she wasn't . serena : well , i mean , she could have just said that . melanie : but she does n't even know dr. mandrake . so why would clint be giving him reports on her ? serena : hmm . you 're right . it 's weird . melanie : there 's got to be some kind of connection somewhere . did you find any other information on dr. mandrake ? sonny : hey , abe . [ sniffles ] if you want to ask me more questions about what happened , it 's fine . paul was just leaving . paul : sonny , i swear . sonny : he was just leaving . paul : okay . yeah . but just so you know , i am so sorry . abe : that was paul narita , was n't it ? the billion - dollar arm ? sonny : [ exhales deeply ] it was . will 's new cover boy . abe : ah . hey , uh , look , sonny , if this is a bad time ... sonny : no . ask away . abe : uh , well , i just wanted to , uh , do a final check , see if you remembered anything . sonny : yeah . i remember . i remember everything . aiden : you know , i - i watched over chase like a hawk for weeks , you know , months ... worried sick that all of these memories would come flooding back . but nothing . i mean , sure -- sure , there were nights he 'd get upset , start crying for his mom , asking about her death , but , you know , i ... could always steer things in a different direction . hope : so you think it 's best that he never remembers anything ? aiden : absolutely . look , i 've met with several therapists over the years , you know , making sure i was doing the right thing , always pretending it was for a client . hope : yeah , well , you know , i hate to be the voice of doom here , but someday chase may come in contact with someone . aiden : like bree ... who thinks i 'm guilty ? hope : that 's right . he could start blaming you . aiden : you know , hope , i 've done everything i can to make sure he never meets any of those people . in fact , we ... we relocated several times before we moved to salem . but you know what ? if it comes right down to it ... i 'd rather him think that i did it than remember what really happened . only now ... that is n't really in my hands , is it ? eve : theresa , the last thing paige needs to do is to grab jj 's phone and look at it , all right ? theresa : okay , okay . eve : just thank god that he is out of her life , and she 's so much better off . nope , i do not have any regrets , not a one . theresa : regrets about what ? jennifer : my question exactly . theresa : [ sighs ] daniel : hey , man , how you doing ? come on in . jj : fine . uh , i got your message . you said you had something i might want . daniel : y - you okay ? jj : yeah , yeah . just , uh , stuff on the mind . daniel : no , no , no , no , no . come on , man , talk to me . come on . hey , what is said here stays here . jj : do you ever -- ever fall down ... and -- and you wind up in the mud and -- and then realize you 're already so filthy that there 's no point in even getting back up ? it does n't matter what i want anymore , daniel . i ruined everything . and i threw away everything good . and now it 's just -- there 's no excuses , and there 's no place to go , man . daniel : hey , jj , listen ... jj : now , what 's this thing that you thought i might want ? daniel : ah , just , you know , i remember you borrowed this jacket once . i thought you might want to have it . eve : she saw this , jj ! she saw your damn jacket ! now get the hell out of here and do n't come back ! jj : not a problem . serena : so remember how i said that mandrake was based in new york city ? well , i found out that he 's a big deal at the franklin fertility center -- i mean , very prestigious . melanie : yeah . no , i 've heard of it . serena : until one day he just up and quit . melanie : why ? serena : no reason . he just resigned . oh , and here 's the kicker -- he resigned and then disappeared . melanie : so what does that mean ? serena : that he 's gone . he 's just off the grid . and if he opened up a private practice , it must be real private . melanie : yeah , and he 's still getting reports about theresa from clint . something 's definitely wrong with this picture . abe : sonny , do you remember where you were headed when the attack came ? sonny : i was going to see my husband . will : hey . sfx : clink , clink , clink ... cow : when i moved in with katy 's family hope : aiden . aiden : okay , look , hope , hope , hear me out . okay , look , i know what i did was wrong , legally , okay ? and i know that i admitted it to you , which makes you complicit . you 're an officer of the court . hope : aiden . aiden : and i am sorry about that . and -- and -- and i 'm sorry for so much more . look , hope , there are so many times i almost told you ... because i 've always trusted you , because i loved you , and -- and i still love you . and i probably always will , but ... i 'm talking about my -- my son , chase . look , hope , you got to -- you got to understand . i mean , he ... he 's my flesh and blood . he 's helpless ... in all of this . look , i ... i get it . do n't worry . things between us , i just -- i threw it all away . okay ? i need to ask you one last favor . do n't tell anyone what chase did ... because if it comes out ...

[ soft orchestration ] hope : why did meredith think you were trying to kill her ? i 'm sorry . there are just a lot of questions here . i know you were trying to protect chase . so , um ... how did you manage to really cover up what happened ? you 've kept all of this bottled up inside of you all of these years . this had got to be the hardest conversation you 've ever had . but it 's time . aiden : you 're right . marlena : you know what ? i have not read it yet . i will do that on my break , and i 'm sure it 's just terrific . but roman asked a favor of me . he asked if i would please give you this . will : sonny 's wedding ring . paul : sonny , i 'm sorry . i did n't realize this would upset you so much . sonny : seriously ? paul : i mean , the way you acted that night at the hotel . it did n't even seem like it mattered too much . sonny : because i did n't know the man was -- paul : well , i told you . it did n't mean anything to me , 'cause you 're the only person i ever really loved . look , i 'm serious . i even said it in the article , that i 'm still in love with the man who asked me to marry him . maybe it 's our time now . you know ?

i - i may have hated meredith , but i love chase . and i knew that he not only loved his mom , but he -- you know , he -- he needed her . hope : so the video she made ? aiden : look , i have -- i have no idea where she dreamed up those things , you know , really . hope : meredith said you were trying to poison her with antifreeze . aiden : hope , until i saw that video just then ... i had no idea we even had that stuff in the house . look , i do n't want to play blame the victim , okay ? i 'm not -- i - i don't . but the most likely explanation is that meredith , she put it there herself . hope : so she could accuse you ? aiden : i guess . i do n't know . hope : were there any poisons found in her system when she died ? aiden : there were no poisons , hope . there was nothing , nothing but alcohol and plenty of it , 'cause on any given evening , believe me , she was way over the limit . and i never knew what to expect from her , especially with her accusations . look , i - i -- i do n't hate her anymore . hope , in the end , she died trying to protect our son . and every day since then ... i 've been trying to do the same thing ... just trying to protect my son . daniel : so eric told me you apologized to him ... to serena as well . nicole : yeah , well , after the stuff i pulled , i figured it was the least i could do . daniel : it 's a nice gesture . i 'm proud of you . nicole : really ?

jj : okay , mom , look , i do n't know what you heard , but i never meant to -- jennifer : jj , do n't start lying to me . you left your email open on your computer , and i read the message from your english professor . if you miss one more class , you 're gon na flunk ? jj : look , it 's all a mistake . jennifer : no , it is certainly not a mistake , jj . jj : it 's really not that big of a deal . jennifer : what ? are you kidding me ? it 's huge . how could you miss that many classes ?

lots of alone time for you . serena : that little loser really hates you . melanie : yeah . she does . serena : why are you digging into her life ? will : i thought we 'd never see this again . marlena : oh , the police , uh , found it when they went through the area again . there were no prints on it , but they were glad to be able to return it . will : i ca n't wait to put this back on sonny 's finger . it 'll be like a whole new beginning for us . paul : sonny , what are you talking about ? one time , okay ? one time i slept with the guy who wrote the article . look , i never slept with your husband . the writer 's name 's ... i ... no . that ca n't be him . will 's your ... sonny : husband . so cut the `` i 'm shocked `` act , because you knew . paul : no , no , sonny , i had no idea . you got to believe me . i swear . sonny : just get out . get out of here ! paul : sonny , please . you never told me your husband 's name . will never even talked about you . for god sakes , he did n't even wear his wedding ring . look , maybe there 's some kind of mix - up , but -- maybe the name of -- of ... sonny : you son of a bitch . if you do n't get out of this room in the next ten seconds ... abe : is everything okay in here ? living with chronic migraine aiden : i mean , when the gun went off , you know , chase -- he went into shock . you know , his little face was chalk white . i reached -- i checked for a pulse , but , uh ... meredith was gone . you know , there was -- there was nothing that could be done . so i , um ... took off chase 's clothes . i scooped them up , and i brought them up to the room . and that 's when i made a decision . you know , i , uh -- so i came running down . i wiped his prints off the gun . i made sure that my prints were on it , and that meredith 's prints were on it . i rearranged the room to make -- make it look like there was a struggle . so , when the police came , you know , um ... hope : you told them the same story you told me ... that meredith was drunk , trying to kill herself ? you tried to stop it , but the gun went off ? you took a huge risk . you easily could have been implicated . aiden : hope , i had to protect chase . yeah , yeah , there were holes in my story . yeah , for one thing , too much time had passed before i called in . but i am a good criminal lawyer , and one thing i know above all -- stick to your story . hope : but some people are still suspicious . aiden : yeah , like bree tjaden . i mean , that woman bought meredith 's lies right from the start . see , the police had to prove that i was guilty , and they couldn't . there was only one person who could prove that i was lying . hope : chase . aiden : yeah . thank god he never remembered . daniel : nicole , uh , you know , as i mentioned earlier , i 'm glad ... that you are making changes in your life , but that does n't -- that does n't change anything for us . what we had ... is over . nicole : i know . you say that every chance you get . but , daniel , can we at least be friends ? daniel : ah , no , we -- we tried that . it just -- it never works , so ... uh , no . nicole : daniel . daniel : um ... have a good day . eve : so paige moved out . theresa : yeah , to live in a dorm . eve : well , it goes deeper than that . she hates me , theresa . she blames me for her breakup with jj . theresa : oh , my god . you know what ? she 's still hung up on who he cheated with ? you know what ? i told her a long time ago if she wants to figure it out , it 's pretty simple . just take his phone and read his texts , you know . jennifer : who is she ? is she someone that i know ? well , whoever she is , she does n't make you happy , because you are still in love with paige . and i know that -- what ? jj : all right , you know what ? mom , stop it . paige and i -- that 's over , okay ? jennifer : yes , you 're over because of eve ... because she ripped the two of you apart , and she threw herself into it , body and soul , right , jj ? jj : no , it was me , okay ? it was all me , 'cause i 'm a total screwup ... always have been , always will be . jennifer : jj . melanie : something weird is going on with theresa . serena : like ? melanie : well , i already told you i overheard that guy , her boyfriend , talking to dr. mandrake , giving him reports about her . serena : yeah . dr. mandrake turns out to be a fertility specialist . melanie : yeah , of all things . serena : okay , so theresa 's trying to get pregnant ? and if she ca n't , that -- that would explain why she got so upset when she was staring at that baby rattle . melanie : i mean , she was n't just upset . she was sobbing when she had that thing in her hand . serena : okay . all right , so she wants to have a baby , and she 's seeing mandrake . melanie : i do n't think so , though . why would clint be calling in reports on theresa ? why would n't she just go see dr. mandrake herself ? and to be honest , i do n't think that she wants to be pregnant , because when she thought she was pregnant with brady 's kid a little while ago , she was relieved when she found out she wasn't . serena : well , i mean , she could have just said that . melanie : but she does n't even know dr. mandrake . so why would clint be giving him reports on her ? serena : hmm . you 're right . it 's weird . melanie : there 's got to be some kind of connection somewhere . did you find any other information on dr. mandrake ? sonny : hey , abe .

gabriel feels guilty for lying about craig leaving him to die when johnny tells him that he misses craig and he wishes they could be a family . liberty tells gabriel not to feel guilty because craig tried to kill him and he belongs in jail . parker tells gabriel to stay away from liberty but later gabriel tries to kiss liberty and she backs away from him . liberty tells parker she does n't have time to worry about him and gabriel fighting over her because she needs to concentrate on school so she can graduate with her class because she owes that to her mom and dad after everything they have done for her . parker promises liberty he wo n't fight with gabriel anymore and liberty tells parker she has missed being his friend and then they hug .
<s>[INST] jack : i do n't want to fight with you , carly . carly : well , jack , maybe you could have thought of that before you started to interrogate gabriel at lily 's party . jack : i was n't interrogating him . i was asking him what happened when craig supposedly attacked him . carly : what do you mean `` supposedly `` ? gabriel told the police that craig is the one who knocked him out and left him there to die in that fire . jack : and you know how gabriel claims craig did that ? with that little angel figurine you kept on your desk . carly : i do n't understand why you have to question every single bit of his story . jack : how much do you think that thing weighs ? a pound ? 18 ounces maybe ? ballpark ? carly : you 're off the case . jack : technically . carly : officially . so just let it go , okay ? jack : i ca n't do that . gabriel 's story just does n't add up . carly : it 's an open and shut case . jack : if we take gabriel 's word for it . carly : he was there ! jack : okay . we 're supposed to believe that parker knocks gabriel out , gabriel wakes up , only to be knocked out by craig holding this -- this angel figurine over him ? i need to know the truth . carly : the truth is that parker is free , and we have a chance to have a fantastic life together , unless you ruin it .

'cause it seems to me like you 're bending over backwards to be sure he 's put in jail again . jack : how am i doing that ? carly : because you 're -- you 're poking holes in gabriel 's story . jack : and you do n't think that tom -- tom hughes is going to poke the very same holes in the story ? ! carly : maybe he will , but that 's his job . let him do it . jack : okay . this entire case hinges on one person 's testimony -- gabriel 's . and he 's made no secret of the fact that he hates craig . carly : uh - huh . and he got his revenge . he blackmailed craig when he found out that craig was stealing from parker . that 's why craig tried to kill him . jack : the only problem i have with that is how . carly : how what ? jack : the angel , carly -- the glass angel that gabriel said craig attacked him with . i saw it when they were gathering the evidence . it 's still intact . carly : so ? jack : so if craig had used it to hit gabriel with the amount of force it would take to knock him out , the thing would be in a million pieces ! carly : for pete 's sake , jack , would you let it go ? ! for parker 's sake , for my sanity , would you let it go ? ! jack : i ca n't do that . carly : of course you ca n't . jack : no , carly , and it 's not because i 'm stubborn or -- or obsessed or contrary . it 's because i 'm trying to do what 's right here . carly : the right thing to do is to protect our son . and if you do n't understand that , we have nothing left to talk about . parker : great . you 're fighting again . carly : parker , we 're not fighting . parker : well , you could have fooled me . carly : we 're not . we were just debating where to have our family vacation this summer . parker : that 's a nice try . but i know you guys were fighting , and i want to know if it was about me . carly : no , we -- honestly , we were having a heated discussion about where to have our vacation . and it had nothing to do with you , honestly . jack : your mother 's right . it 's nothing for you to worry about , especially with finals coming up . carly : yeah . you should be concentrating on -- on this , whatever this is . your calculus . jack , maybe you could help him study , okay ? jack : calculus ? carly : yeah . and i 'll go to the library , and i 'll get some information on whatever future vacation destination we 're going to have . okay ? bye . parker : i hate it when you guys fight . jack : hey , listen , there 's an upside . it means that we really care . parker : about winning the fight . jack : no , about the three of you . nothing means more to us than you guys . parker : so this was about me ? jack : okay , i ca n't really tell you that . what i can tell you is that whenever we do argue about you , it means we want what 's best for you , parker . parker : if only you guys could agree on what that is . jack : hey , what about the -- what about calculus ? parker : forget about it . you 're off the hook , okay ? i need to spend some time on u.s. history . like they say , otherwise i 'll repeat it .

( phone rings ) yeah , it 's me . dinah : hello , me . this is me . jonathan : hey , you missing me , me ? dinah : ( laughs ) weak . you said you had something in the works . jonathan : take it easy . you 're about to see me . where are you ? dinah : company . jonathan : well , order me something sweet . i 'll be right there . i 've moved on , too . a woman . hot ... with two ts . you know , i 'm not even getting any sleep at night anymore . but tell sandy that i said hello . and you kids have a good time . sebastian : let me tell you , alan , this one spins like a pro . she left no doubt about who was running spaulding . alan : oh , i can only imagine . sebastian : yes , sir , alan . olivia sang your praises at every turn . olivia : i had no idea the two of you were connected . alan : oh , yes . mr. hulce is the gentleman who bailed me out of jail . olivia : is that right ? alan : yes . olivia : well , that 's lovely . it 's nice to see you again . i ca n't thank you enough for restoring our noble king back to his throne . sebastian : mm - hmm . olivia : what is it you do again ? sebastian : i 'm not sure i said . alan : mr. hulce is interested in becoming a major investor in spaulding , if we can convince him it 's a good bet . why do n't you show him around ? sebastian : that is , if you have the time , mrs . lewis . i mean , i know you 're busy . but you would be the perfect , impeccable tour guide . alan : then i leave you alone . olivia : all right , slick , cut the act . sebastian : `` slick `` ? olivia : you have n't been exactly honest with me . sebastian : oh , yes , and we know how much you value honesty , mrs . lewis . olivia : well , now let 's talk about honesty , mr . hulce . who knew that you and alan were so friendly ? sebastian : i hardly know the man . besides , i 'm not a name dropper . olivia : what exactly are you ? sebastian : i 'm a gemini , a nonsmoker , and i like to have fun . olivia : yeah , at my expense . sebastian : i think you 'd be thankful for the way i just covered your fine- looking behind ... olivia : there was nothing to cover . sebastian : ... with alan . olivia : i 'm a loyal employee . why do n't you tell alan that when you run back to him ? sebastian : chill , olivia , darling . i 'm not a rat . i 'm a friend . and who knows ? maybe you and i can help each other out . olivia : i 'm listening . alan : buzz . buzz : alan . alan : i came to check on elizabeth -- you know , the innocent young girl that your family strung up in court . buzz : she has n't come in . she had a rough day , i hear . alan : yeah . this is just what you people wanted , was n't it ? buzz : `` you people `` ? alan : you coopers have been trying to run her in the ground ever since she took over this dump . buzz : now wait a minute . alan : let me tell you something , buzz . i am going to make certain that you never have an opportunity of getting company back . it was n't enough , what you did to phillip ; now you 're going after my granddaughter . i 'm putting your clan on notice . this will not stand . buzz : nice talking to you , too . ( dog barking ) lizzie : what are you doing ? what ? coop : well , right now , i 'm freezing . but the big picture is , i just ... lizzie : here . coop : whoa , lizzie ! ow ! lizzie , come on . they would n't even let me in the front door . lizzie : take a hint , coop . coop : lizzie , i just want to talk to you . lizzie : i 'm done talking to you . jonathan : i think that you 'll be happy to know that i 've worked it out so that reva and cassie are about to have some quality time together . dinah : now how did you get those two in the same orbit ? jonathan : well , the more important question is , what 's going to happen when my mother decides to tell cassie about what kind of man she just married ? how good am i ? dinah : you 're very good , but i want you to remember this is my life , and it 's not a game . jonathan : yeah . it 's my life , too . cassie : wow . you planned all this ? such a nice surprise . tammy : well , it 's more of a surprise than you think . cassie : tammy . tammy : i 'm sorry . i lied to you to get you here with aunt reva , but you have to work things out . i know that things have been crazy , but you need each other . cassie : this is n't a good time for me . i 've got to go home . reva : i 'm sorry , cassie . but i ca n't let you go . coming up on `` guiding light `` ... lizzie : what if i am guilty ? coop : what ? lizzie : i mean , yeah , that glass was not from where my father was murdered , but does that mean i 'm automatically not the killer ? cassie : edmund will do whatever is necessary to keep us all safe , reva . that 's all . reva : edmund 's really good at protection . did you ever think that maybe it was edmund you needed protecting from ? oprah : the world 's largest tumor , a medical mirac sandy : do you know the secret password ? tammy : i might not know the secret password , but i do have , like , 17 zillion messages on my voice mail , so somebody in there wants to see me . sandy : oh , really ? who ? tammy : i think i have the right apartment . there 's supposed to be some wild party going on inside . so , let 's see what all the hype is about . sandy : i do n't know , with that kind of attitude ... tammy : let me in , crazy man . sandy : all right , get in here . tammy : well . looks like a pretty crappy party . sandy : it was , until you got here . cassie : reva , let me go . reva : i 've been trying to reach you , cassie . i went out to the farm . i tried calling , but edmund hung up on me . cassie : edmund does n't think i should be talking to you . reva : oh , what , so edmund runs your life now ? cassie : no . no , he doesn't . reva : i left messages on your cell phone . cassie : i got them . i know . reva : well , then why did n't you call me ... cassie : because this is n't a good time for me , okay ? i have a lot going on right now . reva : you 're still trying to get pregnant . cassie : yes , i am , and the doctor says i need to avoid stress , and edmund thinks that you cause stress , so he 's just being protective . that 's all . reva : protective . hm . is that what he called it when he went after jonathan ? cassie : and you wonder why edmund thinks you bring stress . reva : no . you know , i 'm sorry , i wish i could let this go , but i can't . you know , edmund 's protecting you from jonathan ; he 's protecting you from me . who else is he shutting out of your life , and how far is he going to go ? cassie : edmund will do whatever is necessary to keep us all safe , reva . that 's all . reva : yeah . edmund 's really good at protection . did you ever think that maybe it was edmund you needed protecting from ? ross : dinah . hello . i 'm glad ... a little surprised to see you here . dinah : dad . hi . i 'm surprised to see you here , too . you look great . do you know jonathan ? ross : yeah , reva 's son . hello , jonathan . jonathan : greetings , mr . mayor . ross : i did n't know that you were acquainted with my daughter . dinah : he 's not . he 's not . only in his deluded mind . jonathan : i 've got to hear this . ross : dinah , what 's the problem ? dinah : jonathan , i 'm sorry . i wanted to deal with this just between us , but you wo n't listen . ross : what is the problem ? dinah : daddy , he 's stalking me . buzz : you look like you could use this . alan : i did n't think you were allowed to serve alcohol out here . buzz : i do a lot of things i should n't do . alan : me , too . buzz : alan ... alan : you know something , buzz ? it was n't that long ago that you and i went to hell and back . buzz : they were memorable times . alan : yeah . we held up pretty good together , too , did n't we ? no thanks to ed , josh , and billy . they were worthless . but we knew what was going on . i have to admit to you , i felt at that time a certain kinship with you . buzz : i did , too . alan : i was hoping because of that kinship that your family and my family could maybe have a second chance . buzz : it has n't worked out that way , has it ? alan : oh , no , it hasn't . i do n't just blame you for what happened to phillip . i blame everyone in that courtroom . you all chipped away at him and pushed him right over the edge . he became bitter , filled with regrets and anger . buzz : and none of those feelings have anything to do with you or your family ? he did terrible things , alan . terrible things . alan : yes , he did terrible things , because he was ill , buzz . but he is still my son . buzz : if my daughter was the one that killed him , she 'll still be my daughter . alan : well , then i guess we understand each other . lizzie : coop , are you still there ? coop : yeah , lizzie , i am . look , please , it 's cold out here . lizzie : okay . all right , fine . coop : well , you 're welcome . where 's all your stuff ? lizzie : i do n't have anything for anyone to take . coop : lizzie , look , i came over here to apologize for what happened in court . i never , ever meant for you to get trashed that bad . i was just trying to protect my sister , harley . lizzie : i understand . coop : no , no , please . look ... lizzie : you know what ? if you had n't taken that glass , everything would have been fine . you screwed up everything for everyone , coop . coop : lizzie , there was broken glass all over the place where your father was murdered . i come here and i find a hidden piece of broken glass here . what am i supposed to think ? all right ? you just came across as being so guilty . lizzie : well , what if i am guilty ? coop : what ? lizzie : i mean , yeah , that glass was not from where my father was murdered , but does that mean i 'm automatically not the killer ? lizzie : you said it yourself , coop . i 'm not that different from my dad . look what he did . maybe what happened in court , maybe it went just the way i wanted . coop : no , you were not faking that . lizzie : and how do you know that ? maybe i just forced tears . maybe i made myself seem upset . maybe i brought back memories from carl 's murder . you know what ? everybody felt bad for me . is n't that why you 're here ? coop : no . lizzie : then why are you here ? coop : i do n't feel bad for you , lizzie . i 'm here because i believe in you . lizzie : yeah , you really believe in me ? you 're just like everyone else . you think i 'm a pain and i 'm some baby . now i may even be a killer . who knows ? coop : lizzie , you did not kill your father , okay ? lizzie : coop , you stole that glass out of my room because you wanted me to be guilty . god , you had to be so disappointed when you found out you were wrong . coop : lizzie , i have never wanted to be so wrong in my entire life . that 's the truth . ( laughter ) ( laughter ) olivia : so , did you enjoy it ? did you enjoy the tour ? sebastian : i like the way people part like the red sea when you walk by . olivia : oh . i worked hard on that . sebastian : hm . ( laughter ) olivia : really , what did you think ? sebastian : well , i think if i 'm going to dump a bucket of money into spaulding , i 'm going to need someone to watch over my interests . olivia : and is that what you meant when you said that we could help each other out ? sebastian : why not ? i 'll do the giving , and you do the taking . olivia : i 'm an excellent taker . sebastian : i have noticed . olivia : i can take care of you and all your money . sebastian : great . now , how about i take care of you ? have dinner with me tonight . olivia : oh . sebastian : unless , of course , you know , you have other commitments . i do n't want to make your life complicated . olivia : well ... sebastian : and besides , i do n't know , maybe there 's someone else in the company i could dine with . olivia : yeah , that 's wonderful , that reverse psychology . it 's very nice . sebastian : is it working ? olivia : oh , i 'm all yours . sebastian : good . i 'll meet you outside , olivia . olivia : okay . tammy : it 's a nice place you got here . sandy : i like it . it 's much quieter now that my roommate 's gone . tammy : what was he like ? sandy : she . tammy : she ? sandy : she had some very serious snoring issues . tammy : and you never told her ? sandy : she would n't have heard me anyway . besides , i had to choose my battles wisely . tammy : why ? was there more ? sandy : mm - hmm . oh , yeah . she was the kind of girl who would actually use the shower curtain rod to dry stuff off on . mm - hmm . mm - hmm . and , she ... she never made her bed or picked up the sweats or even washed her cereal bowls in the morning . tammy : just left it in the sink ? sandy : yeah . disgusting , huh ? oh , oh , and she never rolled the toothpaste up from the bottom . tammy : sounds like a horror . sandy : hm . yeah . i miss her already . tammy : well , you should have her back for dinner some time . yeah . i miss her already . tammy : well , you should have her back for dinner some time . sandy : nah . did i mention she was always late for stuff like that ? jonathan : you 're not being serious , are you ? ross : are you calling my daughter a liar ? jonathan : ( laughs ) okay , sir -- and i say this with all due respect -- but are you out of your freaking mind ? or more importantly , i guess i should ask you that question . but then again , we all know the answer to that , do n't we ? dinah : very funny . jonathan : okay . does it look like i 'm stalking her ? so i 've called a few dozen times a day . i mean , maybe that 's a little excessive , but ... so , maybe that time i drove by your house and i shouted `` i love you and i ca n't be held responsible for the repercussions , `` that might have been a little intense , but would you call that stalking ? dinah : daddy , see ? he 's the freak everybody says he is . your mother would be proud . jonathan : yes , yes . she loves me . everybody loves me . and you will , too , dinah . you will , too . dinah : ( laughs ) jonathan : ( laughs ) ross : oh , for heaven 's sake , i do n't have time for this . let 's go . i do n't want you hanging around your `` stalker `` any more than necessary . dinah : ( laughs ) okay , wait . i 've got to take care of the bill . ross : all right , do that . i 'll meet you outside . dinah : okay . i 'm sorry . that was bad . that was bad and i apologize . ross : it 's okay . dinah : it is ? ross : it 's okay if you tell me the truth about what are you doing with jonathan randall ? dinah : daddy , look , we are spending time together . that 's all . ross : thank you . you see ? is honesty all that hard ? dinah : look , i want you to know that he came to me , all right ? he 's not fitting into reva 's family very well , and he needed someone to talk to , one black sheep to another . and i 'm being a reluctant mentor , but i could n't turn him away . ross : i understand . be careful . dinah : okay . i will . thank you . i 'll be out in a minute . buzz : i do n't like the look of that . ross : tell me about it . buzz : what 's going on ? ross : buzz , i 'm trying to save my daughter , but it 's a losing battle . buzz : tell me about it . jonathan : that 's nice . dinah : well , you could have more of that at the beacon hotel in a king - size bed . but i want you to come through with this fired news business , okay ? jonathan : oh , that 's already happening right now , babe . reva 's about to tell cassie all the news she never wanted to hear . cassie : jonathan has your brain so warped , you do n't know which way is up . reva : cassie ... cassie : no . you know what ? edmund is a great father . he is a great husband . you ca n't forgive him for the man he used to be , and you 're hanging on to a child that only exists in your imagination , reva . reva : that 's not fair . cassie : no ? you want to believe in jonathan so badly . you so want to be forgiven for abandoning him as a child that you 're willing to believe anything , reva . you want to see that monster as the adorable little blonde boy that you left in san cristobel . reva : a little boy that i had to give up because of edmund . because of edmund . you think he 's going to get a pass on that , ever ? cassie : well , clearly he 's not . i just thought you loved me enough , but ... reva : i do love you . cassie : never mind . reva : i do love you , and that 's why i 'm here . i 'm here because you do n't see the danger living under your own roof , and i have to make you see it . i have to . cassie : i 'm sick of what you want , okay ? live your life ; love your son ; i do n't care . leave us alone . please . reva : cassie . i 'm sorry , but there 's something i have to tell you . tammy : you know , i could n't help noticing that your party is n't so much a party as it 's a date . sandy : `` date `` is such a loaded word . i prefer to think that the other guests are jerks who never showed up . the good news is , no rave types to kick out . i ditched my pesky roommate . i can invite you to stay over . tammy : a sleep - over ? sandy : mm - hmm . tammy : sorry . i 'm not that kind of a girl . sandy : i remember when you used to beat yourself up for weeks because you thought you were exactly that type of girl . tammy : well , a really good friend kept talking me down off that ledge . i do n't know what i would have done without him . sandy : accept an invitation to stay over , and i 'll take the sofa . tammy : you know , you throw a crappy party , but i 'm still crazy about you . good night . sandy : good night . lizzie : you believed in me ? coop : yeah , i did . i still do . lizzie , part of me just ... i always have . lizzie : it 's too bad i do n't believe in you anymore . i 'm sorry . it 's better if you leave . coop : wait , wait . hold on , hold on . lizzie , wait a second . i 'm confused , here . i thought we just had ... lizzie : it 's not that easy , coop ! you do n't just bring me flowers and a shoulder to cry on and expect i 'm going to forget everything you did . it 's not going to happen ! coop : lizzie , wait a second . all right , now you 're clearing out your room . now , someone who would see this would think that you 're losing it right now . i do n't want to leave you , not like this . lizzie : well , do n't worry . i have people coming over . i 'll be fine . i have my friends over . coop : no , okay , fine , that 's great . maybe i can stay . maybe i can ... lizzie : go ! leave ! ( sobbing ) olivia : you get me everything you can on the guy . last known residence , financial statements , birth marks , i do n't care . everything . do it . sebastian hulce , you have no idea who you 're dealing with . alan : you know , after all this time , olivia still does n't understand who she 's dealing with . she 's under the illusion that this job is permanent . i 'm simply waiting for the right person , that 's all . sebastian : how 's the hunt going ? alan : very well . i 'm very close to getting the perfect person . listen , why do n't you get to know olivia better ? sebastian : already on it , alan old boy . alan : why am i not surprised ? jonathan : your old man just gave me the evil eye . dinah : that 's because you 're corrupting his daughter . what did you expect ? jonathan : yeah . well , now at least i see where you get it from . dinah : i want to tell you something . i want you to listen to me . the only reason my father gave you that look was because he sensed you were morally bankrupt . he 's right . i do n't want to ever hear you say that again . he is a decent man , and he 's the only person on earth who gives a damn about me . you mess with him in any single way , they 'll never find your body . okay ? ross : yeah , it 's me . it 's about dinah . i wish it had n't come to this , but it has , so i 'm going to go through with it . but i need your help . jonathan : my place or yours ? dinah : i think that you have a situation to monitor . jonathan : reva 's going to crash and burn and take cassie with her . the only thing we have to do is celebrate getting exactly what we want . cassie : reva , please let me be happily married and let me try to have another baby . reva : i want to , but my concerns are real . cassie : you know what 's real to me right now ? tomorrow , i go to a fertility clinic at cedars . i 'm going to try and have a baby with edmund any way i can . that 's what 's real to me . i have a wonderful life . i have love . i have happiness . i have joy . i have laughter . i have work . i have everything ... except for my sister . that 's killing me . please , will you please come with me tomorrow , and will you be with me , by my side , for the procedure ? do you think you could do that ? reva : you want me to be there ? cassie : reva , i need you . do n't you know that ? i 've always needed you . reva : i 'll come . i 'd be honored to be at your side . next , on `` guiding light `` ... olivia : why ? why did you have to drag me into this ? alan was already circling for blood . bill : will you stop on alan ? we 're talking about harley 's freedom . that 's a lot more important than your place over at spaulding . harley : please , can we just pretend for one minute that you are not trying to save my life and throwing away yours ?

jonathan : well , the more important question is , what 's going to happen when my mother decides to tell cassie about what kind of man she just married ? how good am i ? dinah : you 're very good , but i want you to remember this is my life , and it 's not a game . jonathan : yeah . it 's my life , too . cassie : wow . you planned all this ?

oprah : the world 's largest tumor , a medical mirac sandy : do you know the secret password ? tammy : i might not know the secret password , but i do have , like , 17 zillion messages on my voice mail , so somebody in there wants to see me . sandy : oh , really ?

cassie : no . no , he doesn't . reva : i left messages on your cell phone . cassie : i got them . i know . reva : well , then why did n't you call me ... cassie : because this is n't a good time for me , okay ? i have a lot going on right now . reva : you 're still trying to get pregnant . cassie : yes , i am , and the doctor says i need to avoid stress , and edmund thinks that you cause stress , so he 's just being protective . that 's all . reva : protective . hm . is that what he called it when he went after jonathan ? cassie : and you wonder why edmund thinks you bring stress . reva : no . you know , i 'm sorry , i wish i could let this go , but i can't . you know , edmund 's protecting you from jonathan ; he 's protecting you from me . who else is he shutting out of your life , and how far is he going to go ? cassie : edmund will do whatever is necessary to keep us all safe , reva . that 's all . reva : yeah . edmund 's really good at protection . did you ever think that maybe it was edmund you needed protecting from ?

dinah : jonathan , i 'm sorry . i wanted to deal with this just between us , but you wo n't listen . ross : what is the problem ? dinah : daddy , he 's stalking me . buzz : you look like you could use this . alan : i did n't think you were allowed to serve alcohol out here . buzz : i do a lot of things i should n't do . alan : me , too . buzz : alan ... alan : you know something , buzz ? it was n't that long ago that you and i went to hell and back . buzz : they were memorable times . alan : yeah . we held up pretty good together , too , did n't we ? no thanks to ed , josh , and billy . they were worthless . but we knew what was going on . i have to admit to you , i felt at that time a certain kinship with you . buzz : i did , too . alan : i was hoping because of that kinship that your family and my family could maybe have a second chance . buzz : it has n't worked out that way , has it ? alan : oh , no , it hasn't . i do n't just blame you for what happened to phillip . i blame everyone in that courtroom . you all chipped away at him and pushed him right over the edge . he became bitter , filled with regrets and anger . buzz : and none of those feelings have anything to do with you or your family ? he did terrible things , alan . terrible things . alan : yes , he did terrible things , because he was ill , buzz . but he is still my son . buzz : if my daughter was the one that killed him , she 'll still be my daughter . alan : well , then i guess we understand each other . lizzie : coop , are you still there ? coop : yeah , lizzie , i am . look , please , it 's cold out here . lizzie : okay . all right , fine . coop : well , you 're welcome . where 's all your stuff ? lizzie : i do n't have anything for anyone to take . coop : lizzie , look , i came over here to apologize for what happened in court . i never , ever meant for you to get trashed that bad . i was just trying to protect my sister , harley . lizzie : i understand . coop : no , no , please . look ... lizzie : you know what ? if you had n't taken that glass , everything would have been fine . you screwed up everything for everyone , coop . coop : lizzie , there was broken glass all over the place where your father was murdered . i come here and i find a hidden piece of broken glass here . what am i supposed to think ? all right ? you just came across as being so guilty . lizzie : well , what if i am guilty ? coop : what ? lizzie : i mean , yeah , that glass was not from where my father was murdered , but does that mean i 'm automatically not the killer ? lizzie : you said it yourself , coop . i 'm not that different from my dad . look what he did . maybe what happened in court , maybe it went just the way i wanted . coop : no , you were not faking that . lizzie : and how do you know that ? maybe i just forced tears . maybe i made myself seem upset . maybe i brought back memories from carl 's murder . you know what ? everybody felt bad for me . is n't that why you 're here ? coop : no . lizzie : then why are you here ? coop : i do n't feel bad for you , lizzie . i 'm here because i believe in you . lizzie : yeah , you really believe in me ? you 're just like everyone else . you think i 'm a pain and i 'm some baby . now i may even be a killer . who knows ? coop : lizzie , you did not kill your father , okay ? lizzie : coop , you stole that glass out of my room because you wanted me to be guilty . god , you had to be so disappointed when you found out you were wrong . coop : lizzie , i have never wanted to be so wrong in my entire life . that 's the truth . ( laughter ) ( laughter ) olivia : so , did you enjoy it ? did you enjoy the tour ? sebastian : i like the way people part like the red sea when you walk by . olivia : oh . i worked hard on that . sebastian : hm . ( laughter ) olivia : really , what did you think ? sebastian : well , i think if i 'm going to dump a bucket of money into spaulding , i 'm going to need someone to watch over my interests . olivia : and is that what you meant when you said that we could help each other out ? sebastian : why not ? i 'll do the giving , and you do the taking . olivia : i 'm an excellent taker . sebastian : i have noticed . olivia : i can take care of you and all your money . sebastian : great . now , how about i take care of you ? have dinner with me tonight . olivia : oh . sebastian : unless , of course , you know , you have other commitments . i do n't want to make your life complicated . olivia : well ... sebastian : and besides , i do n't know , maybe there 's someone else in the company i could dine with . olivia : yeah , that 's wonderful , that reverse psychology . it 's very nice . sebastian : is it working ? olivia : oh , i 'm all yours . sebastian : good . i 'll meet you outside , olivia . olivia : okay . tammy : it 's a nice place you got here . sandy : i like it . it 's much quieter now that my roommate 's gone . tammy : what was he like ? sandy : she . tammy : she ? sandy : she had some very serious snoring issues . tammy : and you never told her ? sandy : she would n't have heard me anyway . besides , i had to choose my battles wisely . tammy : why ? was there more ? sandy : mm - hmm . oh , yeah . she was the kind of girl who would actually use the shower curtain rod to dry stuff off on . mm - hmm . mm - hmm . and , she ... she never made her bed or picked up the sweats or even washed her cereal bowls in the morning . tammy : just left it in the sink ? sandy : yeah . disgusting , huh ? oh , oh , and she never rolled the toothpaste up from the bottom . tammy : sounds like a horror . sandy : hm . yeah . i miss her already . tammy : well , you should have her back for dinner some time . yeah . i miss her already . tammy : well , you should have her back for dinner some time . sandy : nah . did i mention she was always late for stuff like that ? jonathan : you 're not being serious , are you ? ross : are you calling my daughter a liar ? jonathan : ( laughs ) okay , sir -- and i say this with all due respect -- but are you out of your freaking mind ? or more importantly , i guess i should ask you that question . but then again , we all know the answer to that , do n't we ? dinah : very funny . jonathan : okay . does it look like i 'm stalking her ? so i 've called a few dozen times a day . i mean , maybe that 's a little excessive , but ... so , maybe that time i drove by your house and i shouted `` i love you and i ca n't be held responsible for the repercussions , `` that might have been a little intense , but would you call that stalking ? dinah : daddy , see ? he 's the freak everybody says he is . your mother would be proud . jonathan : yes , yes . she loves me . everybody loves me . and you will , too , dinah . you will , too . dinah : ( laughs ) jonathan : ( laughs ) ross : oh , for heaven 's sake , i do n't have time for this . let 's go . i do n't want you hanging around your `` stalker `` any more than necessary . dinah : ( laughs ) okay , wait . i 've got to take care of the bill . ross : all right , do that . i 'll meet you outside . dinah : okay . i 'm sorry . that was bad . that was bad and i apologize . ross : it 's okay . dinah : it is ? ross : it 's okay if you tell me the truth about what are you doing with jonathan randall ? dinah : daddy , look , we are spending time together . that 's all . ross : thank you . you see ? is honesty all that hard ? dinah : look , i want you to know that he came to me , all right ? he 's not fitting into reva 's family very well , and he needed someone to talk to , one black sheep to another . and i 'm being a reluctant mentor , but i could n't turn him away . ross : i understand . be careful . dinah : okay . i will . thank you . i 'll be out in a minute . buzz : i do n't like the look of that . ross : tell me about it . buzz : what 's going on ? ross : buzz , i 'm trying to save my daughter , but it 's a losing battle . buzz : tell me about it . jonathan : that 's nice . dinah : well , you could have more of that at the beacon hotel in a king - size bed . but i want you to come through with this fired news business , okay ? jonathan : oh , that 's already happening right now , babe . reva 's about to tell cassie all the news she never wanted to hear . cassie : jonathan has your brain so warped , you do n't know which way is up . reva : cassie ... cassie : no . you know what ? edmund is a great father . he is a great husband . you ca n't forgive him for the man he used to be , and you 're hanging on to a child that only exists in your imagination , reva . reva : that 's not fair . cassie : no ? you want to believe in jonathan so badly . you so want to be forgiven for abandoning him as a child that you 're willing to believe anything , reva . you want to see that monster as the adorable little blonde boy that you left in san cristobel . reva : a little boy that i had to give up because of edmund . because of edmund . you think he 's going to get a pass on that , ever ?

sandy : mm - hmm . tammy : sorry . i 'm not that kind of a girl . sandy : i remember when you used to beat yourself up for weeks because you thought you were exactly that type of girl . tammy : well , a really good friend kept talking me down off that ledge . i do n't know what i would have done without him . sandy : accept an invitation to stay over , and i 'll take the sofa . tammy : you know , you throw a crappy party , but i 'm still crazy about you . good night . sandy : good night . lizzie : you believed in me ? coop : yeah , i did . i still do . lizzie , part of me just ... i always have . lizzie : it 's too bad i do n't believe in you anymore . i 'm sorry . it 's better if you leave . coop : wait , wait . hold on , hold on . lizzie , wait a second . i 'm confused , here . i thought we just had ... lizzie : it 's not that easy , coop ! you do n't just bring me flowers and a shoulder to cry on and expect i 'm going to forget everything you did . it 's not going to happen ! coop : lizzie , wait a second . all right , now you 're clearing out your room . now , someone who would see this would think that you 're losing it right now . i do n't want to leave you , not like this . lizzie : well , do n't worry . i have people coming over . i 'll be fine . i have my friends over . coop : no , okay , fine , that 's great . maybe i can stay . maybe i can ... lizzie : go ! leave !

a guy goes to the police station to inform jordan that he witnessed carlos murdering duke . realizing he may be lying or `` mistaken `` , she shows him pictures of many people and he positively identifies carlos , remembers the date and his story checks out . however , she finds it odd that he 'd do nothing at the time it happened and wait until now to suddenly come forward . he explains the reason for that is he 's been through a lot , involving losing his job , his home , his car and he 's now doing a program to work out his issues and part of what he 's doing is `` learning to make amends `` . that is why he 's coming forward . right then , alexis comes by the station , pretty confident that the cops and da will have to realize they do n't have much of a case against carlos . yet , with this recent development , jordan informs alexis that is not entirely true . she knows the guy is telling the truth although she can see his `` credibility `` may not hold up in court and he looks afraid to go through with it . yet she knows how to motive him , telling him he `` need not worry `` since carlos has a good lawyer who can get him acquitted due the `` circumstantial evidence `` , which this guy is responsible for , having waited this long to do the right thing . at that point , he knows he has to right the wrong . alexis is worried and warns julian what she just found out . ava overhears and privately tells her brother that given this and given how she knows he 's risking his marriage secretly going back in the business behind alexis ' back , the best plan for all involved is for julian to `` end `` carlos . he tells his sister , he will handle this his own way although he does not tell her exactly what he intends to do . ric lansing overhears the conversation between the witness and the police commissioner and goes to inform sonny , knowing it will make his brother 's day to know that carlos may go down for the murder of duke . carly tells her husband she does not trust his brother yet sonny tells her ric may be able to find out where the kidney came from that saved josslyn 's life ( now that they know it could not have come from jake ) . franco is afraid nina has given up on him and she is afraid he 's given up on her . dillon reveals he 's interested in kiki . sam is spending time with jason and reveals to him the negative history of head - butting he 's had with franco and they go off together .

and i kept talking you out of it . i did anything just to keep you around . it was pure selfishness on my part . carly : well then be selfish now . be selfish now , when it really matters , simon . it 's what i want . do you have any idea how wrong it feels for you to be -- simon : decent ? carly : this thing between us , it was supposed to just be fun , you know ? make me feel free and happy and irresponsible . it was n't supposed to do this to you -- it was n't supposed to make you suburban and responsible . i do this to everyone that i love . look what i do to them . simon : okay , so answer me this -- do you think even one of those people that you love would even think about giving up the experience of loving you back ? no , i do n't think so . carly : well they 're morons . all of them . simon : listen carly , do you really think your kids would be happier knowing that you 're in jail ? happier than if they know that you 're out there somewhere trying to put the family back together again ? carly : how am i going to do that ? simon : i do n't know yet . i do n't know how to do that . but going back , turning yourself in , that gives up any chance of a decent outcome . listen , carly -- you 're not running away . you 're staying free to try and figure out a way -- both of us -- to fix this thing . carly : they do n't know that . they 're just going to think that i left them . you did n't see parker . you do n't know . simon : okay , so tell them . better yet , why do n't you let them decide ? why do n't you ask parker what he thinks you should do ? carly : and how do you suppose i should do that ? simon : well , seeing how i 've already turned the plane around , why do n't you ask him face to face ? jack : i think it 's important to remember that your mom did n't walk out because of you . parker : well , what would you call it ? jack : parker , when you get older , you 're going to find out that people can be pushed too hard . parker : so she said one thing and did something else . she lied to us , and then she ran away . forever . sage : mommy would n't do that . parker : she already has . i mean , that 's what you 're saying , is n't it ? she ran away with simon , and she 's never coming back . jack : parker , can we talk about this in your room , please ? it 's rather upsetting to sage . parker : there 's nothing to talk about . she cares more about simon than she does about us . so , i 'm glad she left . i 'm glad ! sage : it 's not true . mommy would n't leave us . she just would n't . margo : hi , ca n't come to the phone right now but when you hear the tone leave a message and we 'll get back to you .

casey : nothing . let 's just go . maddie : okay . lisa : now , we all must remember that carter benson is much older than tom , and he had a heart attack , and he is now playing tennis . so you see , we really have nothing to worry about . we have nothing to worry about whatsoever . bob : lisa , i 'd like you to do me a favor . i 'm gon na go to the office and call mom , and it would help me if you 'd be with me . lisa : i have to stay here with margo . margo : no . lisa -- i 'm sure that gram would want to hear from both of you so -- and i 've got katie . lisa : well , if you 're sure . all right , okay . just remember though -- nothing . we have absolutely nothing to worry about . bob : make sure you say that to mom when we talk to her , huh ?

what were you so anxious to talk to us about ? mike : wow , its cold in here . katie : you think ? mike : whoa . katie : yeah , sorry . i kind of let the place go . mike : looks like a guy 's place . all you need are some video games and a pamela anderson poster . okay , maybe just the poster . katie : okay , i 'll state the obvious . i 'm bored here without you . mike : it 's hard to imagine you bored . katie : well , i am . i hate living alone . i used to like it before i lived with you and i hate it now . mike : oh , hey . you know what this is ? the fuel bill . katie : oh , i 've been looking for this . mike : right , past due . that 's why it 's cold in here . katie : well , some things do n't seem as important as they once did . mike : heat does n't seem important ? katie : paying bills . it 's boring and time - consuming and -- i do n't know . here , to warm you up . mike : that 's all right , i have to drive . katie : oh , right . should i call margo ? mike : someone from the station probably called her . katie : i just wish we could look some more or do something . mike : well , according to dallas griffin , there 's nothing much more we can do until the morning anyway , so -- there you go . katie : i ca n't get my fingers to work . it 's freezing outside . just thinking about daniel out there by himself , freezing cold . mike : it 's okay . it 's okay . i really do n't think he 's out there , i think he 's probably somewhere safe and we 'll find him in the morning . okay , you know , you 're right . you 're right about the weather . i should probably go . katie : well , you 're not going to do anyone any good in a ditch . mike : okay , well , i 'll drive slow . katie : i do n't care if you drive five miles an hour . the fog out there is so thick , we barely got back here . please do n't go back to the farm . do n't make me worry about you , too . mike : hey , it 's no problem , all right ? katie : okay . right . mike : but you 're right about the weather . i should get going . katie : well , thank you for the fire and hot chocolate and being nice and helping . mike : no problem . no problem . get some sleep . margo 's going to need you in the morning . katie : yeah . i 'll just sit by the fire for a while and then go up . mike : okay . i 'll see you tomorrow . katie : can you turn the light off up there before you leave ? i kind of like to watch the fire in the dark . mike : i remember . good night . i ca n't do it . i ca n't go . katie : oh , god . thank god . katie : can we just stay like this for five or six days ? mike : sounds like a plan . katie : the last month , i have been walking around like i did n't belong to anyone or anywhere . and right now i feel safer and warmer than i have my whole life . mike : katie ? katie : no , no , do n't , please ? if this is just going to last a moment , do n't say anything . just let me believe that you 're here . that you 're back . mike : well , i was just going to suggest we might want to move closer to the fire where it 's a little warmer . katie : would that require moving ? mike : yes . katie : then i do n't care . i 'll stay cold . mike : you know , when i was leaving , when i tried to leave , i looked in here and you just -- you looked so beautiful . katie : i really do n't want to ask this , but i have to ask this . i 'm just kind of scared . are you back ? mike : seeing margo and tom thinking they might have to say good - bye just made what happened to us seem not so important . katie : well , that 's very nice of you to put it that way , but it 's not what happened to us , it 's what i did to us . mike : i do n't want to talk about that ever again . katie : you do n't think you 're going to get an argument for me on that one . mike : i missed you . katie : well , i 'm here and i 'm not going anywhere . and neither are you . margo : casey , what is wrong ? casey : that message , it meant nothing . nothing at all . margo : right . like i do n't know your tone when something 's really bothering you . casey : it 's just so stupid . margo : come on , casey , i want to get back to your dad and i 'm not going to until i know what 's going on . casey : okay . i got all worked up about this thing at school . i really hate one of my classes and i was thinking about , you know , changing my major . margo : you left a message like that because you want to change your major ? casey : all right . i 'm not really doing that well in that class and i might be getting a failing notice , but do n't tell dad , please . margo : i wo n't . but you know , we 're going to talk about this . casey : all right , and i swear that i 'm really going to hit the books . you have enough to worry about without me screwing things up even more . margo : relax , you should 've seen my freshman grades . i got ta get back in . casey : all right . maddie : is that what 's been bothering you ? your grades ? adam : yeah , dude , you never seem to sweat your grades all that much . casey : well , maybe since they 're paying for everything , i thought that i should grow up and start caring . carly : j.j. ? j.j. , its mom . simon : i do n't like this . carly : no , it 's all right . he promised that he would n't tell anybody . they must be upstairs . [ next_on ] craig : daniel is not my victim and there 's no way that you 're going to pin this on me . emily : the two of you -- the two of you can just go to hell . simon : carly , go ! go ! carly : simon , no ! simon : just get the hell out of here now ! just go now ! jack : do n't give me one more reason to shoot you .
the hughes family comes together to be with margo and tom at the hospital . tom comes through the operation fine and the doctor is able to repair his clogged artery . tom 's close call makes casey realize he must grow up and take his school work seriously . mike also realizes that he misses katie and that compared to what happened to tom and margo the things that happened to him and katie do n't seem important anymore . mike stays with katie at her house and the two later make love . daniel is still missing and everyone in oakdale who are friends with tom and margo distribute flyers with daniel 's picture . carly persuades simon to turn the plane around and go back to oakdale so she can say good - bye to her children . carly arrives home to tell her children good - bye because she thinks jack has left for work but carly and simon are shocked when jack comes back home through the back door .
<s>[INST] casey : mom ? dad -- weird . mom , dad -- did you guys have a fight ? all right , i tried . i 've got to tell them . i 've got to . katie : the thing you have to hold onto here is that it 's tom . he never smoked , he worked out , he ate right -- these are the times that those things come into play . he 's gon na get through this . margo : yeah . you did n't see his eyes though , katie . i mean , you never see tom scared . katie : the important thing is that you got him help right away , got him here , he 's here where people love him and they 'll take good care of him . margo : so , any news ? bob : he 's stable , he 's been prepped . steve dawson 's going to do the surgery . he 's one of the best , and he was on vacation , but he came in . margo : so can i go talk to tom ? bob : just for a minute . margo : okay , okay . katie : okay . margo : okay . mike : i guess margo 's not going to need her coffee . katie : no , but thank you for getting it anyway . mike : you 're welcome . i got you some hot chocolate . i know how you get when you have too much caffeine . katie : that 's really thoughtful . thank you . so , how did you hear about tom , anyway ? mike : i guess i did n't tell you -- i 've been doing some renovations for the hospital , so i was downstairs when tom came in . so i saw him . katie : margo 's really scared . mike : yeah . i heard you trying to make her feel better . katie : well , i just thought about all the times that she 's talked me down , held my hand . she 's much better at it than i am . mike : you did pretty well . you okay ? katie : yeah , i 'm fine . this is n't happening to me . mike : it kind of is . i know how much you love her and tom . katie : yeah , well i just have to be strong for them right now . it 's really hard . mike : you 'll do okay . and , if it helps -- you can lean on me . katie : it helps . except , she thinks she may be saying good bye to him . jack : good night maggie , drive safe , okay ? it 's going to be a bad night . already is . hey , troops , i 'm back . sage : j.j. got peanut butter on my card for mommy and i had to do it all over . jack : let me take a look at that card . it 's great , sage . it 's really great . j.j. : can we visit mom after dinner ? you said the jail would let her have visitors . jack : yeah , i think we 've got to talk about that , buddy . sage : can mommy put up my card on the wall ? do they have tape there ? jack : parker , why do n't you come on over here and have a seat ? parker : what did she do now ? j.j. : do n't talk like that . tell him not to talk like that ! sage : why ca n't we go see mommy ? jack : guys , there 's no easy way to tell you this , so i 'm just gon na tell you . your mom -- left . parker : what ? jack : she went -- she went away with simon . she 's not in oakdale anymore . carly : i 'm serious , simon . turn the plane around . simon : you know that 's just suicide . carly : when we land , i 'll call jack . i ca n't live my life without seeing my kids . simon : even if it 's from the inside of a jail cell ? carly : that 's better than this ! if i do it this way , they wo n't know where i am , they wo n't know why i 've gone - - simon : we 'll figure that out , okay ? we 'll take care of it -- carly : i have figured it out . we land . you run . i face the music . end of story . simon : if you 're so hell bent on going back , i 'm going with you . carly : no , simon . i 'm the one who has to go back -- not you . please , just land the plane somewhere near oakdale . i 'll take it from there , okay ? simon : no , no , no , no . we are in this together . end of discussion . carly : simon , that does n't make any sense . i have to go back , you do n't . there 's no reason for us both to end up in jail . they 're my children , they 're my responsibility . simon : and we both know that you would n't even be in this mess if it were n't for me . carly : i 'm a grown up , you know . i could have turned and walked away at any time i wanted to , i just did n't . simon : yeah , well you tried to do that , remember ? and i kept talking you out of it . i did anything just to keep you around . it was pure selfishness on my part . carly : well then be selfish now . be selfish now , when it really matters , simon . it 's what i want . do you have any idea how wrong it feels for you to be -- simon : decent ? carly : this thing between us , it was supposed to just be fun , you know ? make me feel free and happy and irresponsible . it was n't supposed to do this to you -- it was n't supposed to make you suburban and responsible . i do this to everyone that i love . look what i do to them . simon : okay , so answer me this -- do you think even one of those people that you love would even think about giving up the experience of loving you back ? no , i do n't think so . carly : well they 're morons . all of them . simon : listen carly , do you really think your kids would be happier knowing that you 're in jail ? happier than if they know that you 're out there somewhere trying to put the family back together again ? carly : how am i going to do that ? simon : i do n't know yet . i do n't know how to do that . but going back , turning yourself in , that gives up any chance of a decent outcome . listen , carly -- you 're not running away . you 're staying free to try and figure out a way -- both of us -- to fix this thing . carly : they do n't know that . they 're just going to think that i left them . you did n't see parker . you do n't know . simon : okay , so tell them . better yet , why do n't you let them decide ? why do n't you ask parker what he thinks you should do ? carly : and how do you suppose i should do that ? simon : well , seeing how i 've already turned the plane around , why do n't you ask him face to face ? jack : i think it 's important to remember that your mom did n't walk out because of you . parker : well , what would you call it ? jack : parker , when you get older , you 're going to find out that people can be pushed too hard . parker : so she said one thing and did something else . she lied to us , and then she ran away . forever . sage : mommy would n't do that . parker : she already has . i mean , that 's what you 're saying , is n't it ? she ran away with simon , and she 's never coming back . jack : parker , can we talk about this in your room , please ? it 's rather upsetting to sage . parker : there 's nothing to talk about . she cares more about simon than she does about us . so , i 'm glad she left . i 'm glad ! sage : it 's not true . mommy would n't leave us . she just would n't . margo : hi , ca n't come to the phone right now but when you hear the tone leave a message and we 'll get back to you .

casey : nothing . let 's just go . maddie : okay . lisa : now , we all must remember that carter benson is much older than tom , and he had a heart attack , and he is now playing tennis . so you see , we really have nothing to worry about . we have nothing to worry about whatsoever . bob : lisa , i 'd like you to do me a favor . i 'm gon na go to the office and call mom , and it would help me if you 'd be with me . lisa : i have to stay here with margo . margo : no . lisa -- i 'm sure that gram would want to hear from both of you so -- and i 've got katie . lisa : well , if you 're sure . all right , okay . just remember though -- nothing . we have absolutely nothing to worry about . bob : make sure you say that to mom when we talk to her , huh ?

[ scene_break ] adam : well , uh , i do n't know why i 'm surprised that you 're trying to control noah . that 's what you do with your family , right ? victor : you should show some gratitude , son . adam : gratitude ? you mean obeisance . victor : you know why you 're sitting here instead of in a prison cell ? it 's because of my desire to reestablish newman enterprises to what it was before . adam : true , and your desire to stick it to the abbotts . victor : to hand down this legacy to future generations . your son , my grandson , for example , all right ? adam : whether they want it or not . victor : believe me -- they 'll want it . adam : you 're so convinced of that . victor : you bet i am . you know how disappointed they would be if i left this company a mess ? i want them to be proud of newman enterprises , to be proud of their legacy . adam : 'cause family is what matters . family is the only thing that matters . victor : you bet . in the end , son , it 's the only thing that really matters . and you know it . because otherwise , you would n't have fought so hard to be with chelsea and your son , would you ? when all has been said and done , i think you understand me perfectly well , do n't you ?

[ scene_break ] adam : well , uh , i do n't know why i 'm surprised that you 're trying to control noah . that 's what you do with your family , right ? victor : you should show some gratitude , son . adam : gratitude ? you mean obeisance . victor : you know why you 're sitting here instead of in a prison cell ? it 's because of my desire to reestablish newman enterprises to what it was before . adam : true , and your desire to stick it to the abbotts . victor : to hand down this legacy to future generations . your son , my grandson , for example , all right ? adam : whether they want it or not . victor : believe me -- they 'll want it . adam : you 're so convinced of that . victor : you bet i am . you know how disappointed they would be if i left this company a mess ? i want them to be proud of newman enterprises , to be proud of their legacy . adam : 'cause family is what matters . family is the only thing that matters . victor : you bet . in the end , son , it 's the only thing that really matters . and you know it . because otherwise , you would n't have fought so hard to be with chelsea and your son , would you ? when all has been said and done , i think you understand me perfectly well , do n't you ?

alice : gin and vermouth -- a combination almost as old as you . tracy : no rat poison ? alice : you tell me . you 're the one who gets off on spiking her own drinks . tracy : barely adequate . alice : takes one to know one .

[ scene_break ] patrick : you 've already cost us a lot of years , during which of some i really could 've used a father . noah : that 's not the point . patrick : ok , the point is , i 'd rather not lose you completely . just put yourself on the transplant list . robin : as a surgeon , you 'll get priority . noah : i 'm not going to take an organ from somebody who 's waited months and is no doubt more deserving , so respect my choice , all right ? patrick : oh , i see . well , you 're already half dead . why not just finish the job ? [ scene_break ] jason : sam , i told you to go home . what -- sam : you did , and i 'm sorry , jason . i 'm sorry i have to disrespect that . but there are some things that i need to say , so you can either stay here and listen to me or you 're free to walk away . jason : ok , no , i 'm listening . sam : this goes far beyond what you do for a living and things we ca n't talk about . this whole manny thing is personal to me . and i will not continue to allow him to make me his victim . he has already made me his target . he has attacked me . he has put his filthy hands all over my body ; shoved his tongue in my mouth . manny has managed to follow me whenever and wherever he wanted -- in our shower , at the courthouse . he is now in my dreams , jason . jason : that 's why you need to stay away from him . sam : i ca n't let manny do to someone else what he did to me . i was passing by and i thought i saw him get into a cab . he was wearing a cap , he was all bundled up . i tried to call you , jason -- jason : sam -- sam : i left messages on your answering machine . jason : i was out of range . sam : you would n't pick up your phone . jason : i was out of range . sam : i could n't take that chance . if it were manny , he was going to go after someone . i had to follow him .

[ scene_break ] jason : you know better than anyone how dangerous manny is . he likes to play games . maybe he was trying to trick you into following him . sam : what , you think that i should 've just stayed away from him ? jason : no , you just keep telling me that you 're going to not let manny take over your life , you 're trying to put him behind you , but you 're not . sam : right , but he has to be stopped first . jason : i know that . by who , by you ? sam : by me ? what , do you think i want revenge ? jason : why would n't you want payback for the hell manny put you through ? i want payback , but -- sam : manny was there , jason ! or at least i thought he was , free to attack another woman , the same way he did to me , to carly , to elizabeth . i had to stop him ! jason : ok , ok . i understand what you 're thinking . but i ca n't -- i ca n't deal with this till i know that you 're safe . so just , please , just go home . [ scene_break ] robin : you 're both very emotional right now . why do n't we just take a step back and breathe ? noah : i 've already decided against a transplant . i 'm really sorry that my decision upsets you , patrick . patrick : it 's a pattern with you , is n't it ? the more self - destructive the better , like diving into a bottle after mom died . bottom line , you gave yourself cirrhosis of the liver . you can decide how to deal with it . noah : well , good . we agree on that , at least . patrick : yeah . robin : hey . emily : hi . robin : did you lose something ? emily : yeah , my -- my notebook . it 's got everything in it -- you know , my lab notes , my schedules . i know i left it here somewhere . robin : once you stop looking , you 'll find it . that 's how it works . [ emily sighs ] emily : yeah . robin : are you ok ? emily : yeah , everything turned out exactly the way everybody told me it would . sonny went back to carly . [ scene_break ] carly : i walk in here tonight and you 're all keyed up with a drink in your hand , and it scares me . everything i warned you about is already happening . you 're fighting with jason , you 're fighting with yourself , and i do n't want it to get any worse . sonny : i should n't have gotten you involved . that 's the problem here . carly : i saw a way to help and i took it , ok ? if emily believes what happened tonight , she 's going to go back to her old life and everything 's going to be fine . sonny : what happens when emily sees that we 're not together , carly ? carly : we 'll just say the reunion did n't work out . i mean , hey , would n't be the first time . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : dr. winters ? bobbie spencer would like to meet with you at your earliest convenience . lainey : did she say what it was about ? elizabeth : no , but i bet we could guess . [ lainey sighs ] elizabeth : she 's having a really hard time with lucas coming out . lainey : listen , if she wants to discuss her own difficulties , i 'd be happy to listen to her . but if bobbie wants to talk about her son 's feelings , that 's a problem . elizabeth : well , maybe there 's a way you can help them both . lainey : we 'll see . lucky : hey . elizabeth : hi . i did n't expect you here . lucky : well , i got a call from nikolas . have you seen him ? oh . hey . nikolas : hey , what 's going on ? elizabeth : what 's the matter ? nikolas : nothing . i just need your feedback on something . i think it 's absurd that lulu continue to live at the quartermaines ' . i mean , she 's our sister , lucky , and she was dropped off like -- i do n't know , like some sort of a charity case . elizabeth : that 's where we decided she should be . lucky : yeah , when dad was there . nikolas : exactly . i mean , luke pulled yet another disappearing act . now she 's just with a bunch of strangers who do n't care who she sees or what she does . she has no supervision or anyone to defend her and , you know , tracy 's just -- she 's just tracy . elizabeth : but she has skye . lucky : well , i 'm sure skye 's doing her best , but she 's not family . nikolas : right . elizabeth : ok , so what are you suggesting we do ? nikolas : well , originally she said she wanted to live with me , and i think it 's time to let her . elizabeth : is this really about lulu , or is this about you losing courtney ? nikolas : come on . listen , i would n't -- i would n't disrupt lulu 's life because my own is in chaos , ok ? lucky , you 've seen what 's going on at the quartermaines ' . i mean , how long before lulu gets into the kind of trouble that 'll affect the rest of her life ? lucky : we wanted lulu and dad to reconnect . nikolas : yeah . lucky : but dad took off and lulu 's paying the price , so lulu should live with nikolas . [ scene_break ] alice : mr. luke , thank god ! life will be bearable in this house again . can i get you something ? tracy : will -- will you get this creature off me ? luke : i 'll have one of your famous cocktails -- my usual . the chimp is partial to banana daiquiris , so easy on the rum ; he had two on the plane . alice : ok . tracy : uh - huh . you have n't even said hello and you 're already freeloading booze and ordering drinks for your companion . luke : well , you deserve it , spanky buns . come on . you frame me for murder and you do n't even have the decency to be dead ? tracy : yeah , well , it 's the least you deserve for trying to get me out of our marriage . lulu : oh , i told you i heard his voice . luke : hello , troops . lulu : i 've been trying to find you . i got your matchbook and dillon tried to track you online through the village that disappeared . you 're safe . luke : it 's great to see you , princess . and as you can see , i 'm not alone . i brought you a friend . [ scene_break ] man : we finished the sweep of the village . no one will ever know we were here . robert : any luck in finding this guy spencer , the one that took off with the chimp ? man : no sign of him yet . robert : ok , you 'd better find this guy and stop him from leaving the area . otherwise , this whole thing spirals out of control . man : yes , sir . [ scene_break ] carly : i got his blanket . sonny : you give him a kiss for me ? carly : why do n't you go to the island ? michael ca n't go because he has school , but you could take morgan . you guys could swim in the ocean ; you could build sandcastles . sonny : yeah , i 'll think about it . carly : do n't think about it , go . there 's a big storm coming . you hate the snow . sonny : carly -- carly : jason can handle the business for a few days . come on , sonny , you could use a little distance right now . sonny : carly , i 'm going to be ok . carly : you promise me you wo n't stand by the window all night ? [ door closes ] jason : what 's wrong ? carly : morgan forgot his blanket . emily was here ; she walked in on me kissing sonny . my idea , not his . jason : why ? carly : so she 'd give up . i 'd rather emily blame me than you or sonny . but you know what ? it 's only worth it if you guys are ok , so figure it out . jason : what happened ? sonny : exactly what carly said . she kissed me knowing that emily was going to see . i guess i let it happen and -- you happy ? [ scene_break ] emily : robin , i should 've realized that sonny and carly were on their way back together . i mean , it 's how they are . robin : sonny and carly are divorced . i mean , carly is walking around telling anyone who will listen how she 's ms. self - sufficient now . emily : yeah , well , maybe what carly needed was to get strong enough to try again with sonny . robin : no , carly is a parasite . she will always try and hold on to sonny . but once he makes a decision , that 's final , and he realized that carly is no good for him . emily : robin , they have two great kids . they have an incredible history together . obviously , they decided to try again . robin : is there any chance that you 're wrong ? emily : i walked in on a kiss between them . all right ? i mean , a real kiss . robin : yeah . i 'm sorry . emily : yeah . i think the only thing to do is just to wish them well and to let it go . oh , man , i should n't be here . it 's a bad idea . i 'm sorry , robin . [ scene_break ] georgie : he 's too cute . we 're going to have to do all the research on how to care and feed chimpanzees . luke : well , i can tell you so far i know that he likes dry - roasted peanuts and banana daiquiris . lulu : so what 's his name , dad ? tracy : it does n't matter . there 's two spencers in this house . that 's quite enough . the monkey goes . luke : he did n't introduce himself . we have a slight language barrier . georgie : he 's an african chimp . luke : i met him in the markham islands . georgie : we know . you were at a hotel under dr . von -- luke : [ german accent ] von skimmerman . georgie : von skimmerman . luke : ah . boy , you guys do me proud . dillon : skye actually figured that one out . tracy : all right , what 's the deal ? how did you get from there to here with that ? luke : well , the local villagers thought that i was a bona fide medical practitioner and there was a sick child in the village , so they abducted me , and after i cured him -- dillon : wait , wait , wait . dr . von skimmerman cured somebody ? luke : with a breath mint . go figure . the kid 's fever broke , i got the credit , and the tribe gave me some kind of celebratory libation . it 's nothing like what alice pours , but i was hardly in a position to turn it down . tracy : yes , because the only drink that luke spencer turns down is on the phone . luke : anyway , it knocked me on my butt . when i came to , the whole village was in flames and all the people were gone . lulu : where to ? luke : i do n't know , there was nobody to ask . there was just this little guy left . so i grabbed him and split . dillon : oh , right on . [ doorbell rings ] tracy : why do i feel like you 're leaving out a critical piece of information , like how you lit the match that burned the village down ? luke : i am no arsonist , wife . i think i must 've gotten caught up in some kind of tribal ritual . lulu : lucky , dad 's home , and he brought me a chimpanzee ! is n't this fabulous ? nikolas : yeah , yeah , that 's -- that 's a chimp . well , lulu , you and your chimp can now come live with me at wyndermere . lulu : i showed up at wyndermere and you sent me home . nikolas : yes , but i 've since realized that it 's time for you to live with family . luke : she 's with family . nikolas : ok , let me rephrase that -- it 's time for you to live with family who wo n't abandon you at the drop of a hat . luke : oh , butt out , nikolas . dillon : yeah , do n't blame luke . it was my mom who forced him out of town by framing him for her own murder . tracy : oh , stop . he deserved it . nikolas : do you hear this , lulu ? you see , your father and tracy have this little dance that they do together without any concern for who gets stuck in the middle and you just do n't need to be subjected to that , ok ? now , i know that you love your father , but he 's not going to change . luke : who asked you ? nikolas : you had your chance to be her father and you blew it . luke : my daughter was in very good hands while i was gone . she was totally safe and taken care of . she was in the capable hands of skye . tracy : well , actually , skye was a little preoccupied to concentrate on childcare . luke : doing what ? tracy : doing him . [ scene_break ] carly : where 's patrick ? robin : last time i saw him , he was -- let 's see -- taking care of patients , because that 's what we do around here . what might you be doing here ? carly : that 's none of your business . i see him . hey . how 's your father ? patrick : i 've done everything i can for him right now . carly : ok , well , do you want to pick up where we left off ? unless you lost your mood for partying ? patrick : whoa . that is one mood i never lose . carly : ok . robin : pretty busy today , huh , carly ? carly : she 's right about that much . scared yet ? robin : just a friendly warning -- i 'm sure carly wants to use you for something . and in case you missed it , his father is seriously ill and needs his son right now . patrick : ok , hey , wait a second , time - out . who put you in charge of my life ? [ scene_break ] [ knock on door ] emily : hey , sam . i 'm sorry to bother you . i just -- i need to see jason . sam : he 's not here . come in . emily : you would n't mind ? sam : no , of course not . is everything ok ? emily : yeah , maybe you could just tell jason that he was right . sam : what -- emily : not exactly right , but that i understand why he -- he thought he should protect me . sam : ok , ok , now , what happened ? emily : sonny and carly are back together . i walked in on them kissing . oh god , see , i told myself i was n't going to do this . sam : ok , look , um -- ahem -- i am glad that you said something , because who better to figure out how to get over sonny than me , right ? ok , so when -- when sonny left me -- emily : yeah ? sam : he -- he left me for carly . emily : sonny and carly always get back together , do n't they ? yeah . i love sonny , and -- and i thought that he loved me back . [ scene_break ] sonny : i realized something at the lodge tonight . you 're never going to accept me with emily . does n't matter how we feel , you 've decided it 's wrong , and there 's no room for compromise . jason : it 's not anything i decided . she 's my sister . i know her better than you . no matter what you think , emily is not strong enough to handle the ugly parts of your life . [ sonny sighs ] jason : hey , you know what , sonny ? maybe you can protect her from -- from the business . can you protect her from yourself ? sonny : do you really think that i 'm going to lose it with emily ? you know that as a fact ? jason : look , i do n't know . i do n't know how much you remember about your breakdowns . i 'm the one who sweeps up the broken glass . i 'm the one who stops you from hurting yourself . i listen to you talk about hurting the people you love , and it kills you that you ca n't protect them and you 're willing to destroy yourself to pay for wrecking them . how is emily supposed to handle that ? how is she supposed to save you ? because you know that she 's going to try to save you . you know you ca n't think straight when you 're going through a breakdown . you know that you do n't know what you 're doing . maybe something could happen . maybe -- i do n't know , maybe you could hit her or something . sonny : oh . do we have to -- do we have to go there , jason ? jason : all right , you know what ? if you 're telling me it 's over , i 'll back off . [ scene_break ] luke : oh , blaze . it 's the thought of you that kept me going through snow and sleet in the dead of night . lulu : that 's the postman , dad . luke : well , i deliver , too . so why do n't you tell tall , dark , and gruesome here to take a hike and you and i will catch up and , lorenzo , on your way out , will you take that with you ? nikolas : fine , but not without my sister . skye : you do n't tell lorenzo when to leave . see , there have been some big chances since you 've been gone . lorenzo and i have decided to explore -- luke : hey , look , i -- a woman of your caliber does not desert her man when he 's off fighting for his freedom . skye : i 'm sorry , but i 'm not your woman and you 're not my man , and exactly who abandoned who ? luke : but i did it for us , babe . come on , drop the pretense . show me how happy you are to see me . skye : oh , i 'm glad you 're back , luke , for lulu 's sake , but really , it makes no difference to me . luke : i do n't believe you . skye : trust me , you 'll get over me . lorenzo ? lorenzo : mm - hmm ? skye : thank you for such a wonderful evening . lorenzo : going to be ok here ? skye : i 'll be fine . and i 'd really like to kiss you good night right now for no other reason except i 'd really like to . lorenzo : well , i 'm more than happy to oblige . lulu : ok , get a room . luke : sic 'em , kong ! lorenzo : i 'll call you later . skye : i 'll be waiting . lorenzo : good night , primates . luke : red , where you going ? skye : to bed , to dream . luke : i could use some support here . dillon : yeah , nikolas wants lulu to leave this place and go to wyndermere . skye : well , i think that 's a great idea . [ scene_break ] patrick : in case you have n't noticed , i do n't fit dr. scorpio 's sensitivity standard . carly : well , join the club . patrick : my father 's dealing with his illness his way , his time frame . the rest of us have been invited to stay out of it , and he 's made that clear . so we are free to resume our evening . robin : you have the emotional maturity of a 10-year - old . instead of being an adult and making allowances for your father , you lash out at him . patrick : you think this is lashing ? robin : you ca n't even see that she 's using you . patrick : oh , say it is n't so . carly : there could be worse things than to be used by me . patrick : exactly . so where am i taking you ? carly : i have a hotel . i 'm sure we could find a room that suits us . [ scene_break ] sam : i really hope this is a small comfort , but i really , really do believe sonny cares about you . emily : yeah , not enough . sam : listen , how can i explain this to you ? ok , you look at sonny and carly , they are like an addiction ; they 're like a drug . carly will always be in his heart , and not just because of michael and morgan , but because they share this really bizarre connection . they ca n't seem to live separate lives , even though they know they would be much happier apart . emily : yeah . yeah , it 's silly to get so emotional . i mean , sonny and i only shared a few kisses . god , sam , you were pregnant by him . how did you recover ? sam : well , i reclaimed my own heart . and please do n't minimize your feelings , because i understand that you 're hurt and you have every right to feel exactly what you want to feel . but i promise you , emily , it will get better when you least expect it . i mean , like , that your life is going to turn around . [ scene_break ] sonny : first of all , i never hit a woman , i will never hit a woman , and i do n't think i could get angry enough to yell at emily or throw things . but i ca n't take that chance . you know , carly kissing me tonight is probably the best thing that could 've happened , you know , so i 'll go ahead and keep letting emily believe it was real . jason : thank you . sonny : but you need to be sure , because your sister is getting hurt . she was raped , her husband abandoned her , and it took a lot of courage for her to trust what she felt with me , emotionally , physically . and now she 's going to feel she was wrong , because if i can go back to carly so easy , you know , then that means that emily did n't matter , her love had no value . i am destroying emily 's faith in herself . ahem . jason : it 's better in the long run . sonny : ok . jason : sonny , she 'll heal . she 'll start over . sonny : well , i trust in your judgment , jason , you know , so i 'm going to have to believe what you believe , you know -- that this is for the best . but i hate what i did to emily tonight . [ scene_break ] skye : your latest disappearing act was n't fair to anyone , luke , least of all lulu . luke : well , i -- i trusted you to take care of lulu . skye : i 'm not her mother . i 'm not even her stepmother . she does n't listen to me , and i do n't blame her . luke : you and i had a deal . nikolas : she 's a teenager , luke . she needs more than deals . luke : stay out of this . skye : listen , you left lulu in this house all this time fighting tracy . how do you think it felt to be -- to be told you 're not wanted , to be told you 're a freeloader ? lulu : no , i was ok . i was just trying to prove that you were innocent , and now that you 're home , everything 's going to be fine . nikolas : lulu , you can defend him until hell freezes over . he abandoned you , just like he 's been doing you 're whole life . lucky : we gave it a try , lulu , it did n't work . you 're better off with nikolas . lulu : ok , what about you , elizabeth ? you said that i should go live with my dad . elizabeth : i think you need a bigger commitment than luke can give you . nikolas : listen , look , lulu , no one 's saying not to love your father , ok ? i mean , most kids get , like , a t - shirt when their dad comes home . you get a chimpanzee -- and that 's actually really cool , but that 's not the point . it does n't change the fact that he comes and goes as he pleases with no regard to you . luke : lesley lu , i 've got a million things wrong with me , but i 'll never lie to you . lulu : what do you want ? luke : well , i want my kids -- both my kids -- to be happy , healthy , and to survive in this miserable world . one down , one to go . lulu : fine . what do you want ? luke : i want you to stay . lulu : thank you , guys , for caring . i love you guys , too , but i 'm staying with my dad .

[ scene_break ] ethan : this is -- this is a rather astonishing development . i mean , you 're one of the most devout anarchists i 've ever met . must be weird to eat the holiday pudding face to face with the law .

[ scene_break ] sonny : let me give you a tip on your interrogation technique . when you tell someone that you plan to prosecute them for somebody else 's crime , they are not going to be as willing to cooperate . agent rayner : well , i appreciate you looking out for me . so why do n't i just take another approach -- total honesty . zacchara 's been doing very bad things for a very long time , and we finally amassed enough evidence to take him out of play . we 're not going to let that go to waste . now , at the end of the day , we would truly love to have zacchara . however , if he proves elusive , we will settle for another high - profile get that sends the same message to organized crime , and that would be you . and no special arrangement that you have with jason morgan will be enough to save you . [ door opens ] alexis : what is the status of the evacuation ? sonny : if you 're here to get answers you can use , forget about it , because agent rayner is onto his next high - profile case . now , i 'm wasting time here . i 've got a wife who 's at mercy . i 've got to get to her . if you 're going to arrest me , do it . if not , i 'm getting the hell out of here .

[ scene_break ] ethan : did little lucas always have his -- luke : lucky . we always call him lucky because he got his mother 's hair . ethan : did he always have his eye on running the straight and narrow ? luke : oh , hell no . i have no idea when that happened to him . when he was a kid , he was the best second i ever had , truly . and when i say a kid , i 'm talking -- he used to run a con with me when he was five years old . ethan : now you 're exaggerating . luke : no , i 'm not . i swear to you . he was born with a gift , that boy . when he was 11 , he made his way all the way from vancouver to new york , clear across the continent , all along fleecing the pigeons all the way . ethan : how could a prodigy like that end up in law enforcement ? luke : i have no bloody idea . ethan : maybe -- maybe lucky just wanted to shake off the legacy , you know ? i mean , it ca n't be easy to follow in the footsteps of a man like you . luke : flattery -- that will get you nowhere . you still owe me $ 600 . ethan : it 's not flattery , man . i call it like it is . i mean , you live large and cast a mighty shadow . you know , i -- there 's this quote that always stuck with me . `` no one lives their lives full up , except for bullfighters . `` and i think you 're a bullfighter . i only hope that someday i have enough guts to say the same . luke : that 's impressive . you read hemingway . ethan : who ? luke : the author you just quoted . ethan : oh , no , i got it off a matchbook . [ both laugh ] [ scene_break ] claudia : you have to be , hands down , the most paranoid woman i have ever met in my life . were you born like that , connie , or did kate teach you that ? [ kate chuckles ] kate : maybe you honestly do n't know how devastated sonny is with michael 's shooting . i mean , after all , your marriage is a business arrangement , right ? i do n't imagine you two sit by the fire discussing your innermost feelings and thoughts . and if i had to make a bet , i 'd say michael is not an easy topic for you . claudia : you know what you are ? you 're a piece of work sitting there . i mean , michael 's -- michael 's shooting was horrible . that 's unspeakable . and it 's really disgusting that you would sit there and try to exploit it . kate : you know what 's disgusting , claudia ? arranging the shooting of an innocent child . claudia : i did not do that . kate : yes , you did . sonny has been suspicious for a very long time that ian devlin did not work alone . and he 's about to find out that he was right . you 're the missing link , claudia . devlin was acting on your orders . let 's see . you chose the time , mm - hmm . you chose the place . you chose the method . so michael 's shooting is on you . claudia : no . kate : i want sonny to have the closure that he desperately needs . my only issue , claudia , will be his reaction , and that will be to kill you . you see , i 'm not like you . i do n't want to be an instrument of death , even yours . unfortunately , i just do n't see a way around it . [ scene_break ] alexis : i realize that you are not directly responsible for the events tonight . that said , there are still people trapped in a burning building . a fire started as a direct result of the fbi losing track of a controlled substance . i would think that would command your attention , rather than him with something he did in the past that could clearly be taken care of in the future . agent rayner : do n't leave town . and if i were you , i 'd locate anthony zacchara . alexis : one more thing , if you do n't mind . we are all impressed with your single - minded dedication to this mission , but i , for one , would like to hear what , if anything , is being done to get the rest of the people , one of whom happens to be my daughter , out of the hospital . [ scene_break ] lulu : okay , why would johnny go back into the fire ? carly : he said he was looking for maxie , that she went in to find spinelli . so he went after her .

[ scene_break ] nikolas : hi . monica : hi . nikolas : rebecca is fine . i just left her in an exam room . monica : my god , she 's here at mercy ? nikolas : yeah , she 's right downstairs . edward : did she say anything ? monica : did she say where she was from ? edward : or where she 's living now ? nikolas : no , no , she did n't . edward : well , did you ask her if she were adopted ? nikolas : i did , but she did n't answer me . she certainly had no idea that there was this other woman , emily , who looked exactly like her . she does now . she 's a little overwhelmed by everyone 's reaction to her . edward : that 's understandable . monica : i just ca n't stand the thought that we 're going to run the risk of her just disappearing and we 're never going to see her again . nikolas : once things calm down a little bit , hopefully , we can get some answers .

[ scene_break ] ethan : how long do you think we 're going to be stuck here ? luke : that depends on how accomplished you are with digging through a cement wall with a spoon . ethan : what do you mean ? luke : what do you say you and me bust out of this flea - bitten dog kennel ? [ scene_break ] jax : i can take the chopper up again . alexis : that is a horrible idea because the winds are worse than they were . the fire department has said the building is unsafe . you 're going to land your helicopter up there , jax ? the roof is going to collapse . jax : i 'm willing to take that risk . alexis : well , i 'm not . listen , we can assume that spinelli , jason , and sam are together . they 're smart enough to get on the stairwell . they 're not going to be waiting on the roof . jax : okay , okay , you 're right . i 'm just -- i just want to help you . alexis : you already have . [ scene_break ] lulu : oh , my god , maxie drives me crazy . i mean , i understand the impulse to want to help spinelli , but realistically , what does she think she 's going to do ? carly : i guess she thinks she 's going to go in there and grab him by his hair and drag him out kicking and screaming . lulu : so now -- and now johnny has gone after her , which is brave and wonderful , but , my god , that 's what the firefighters are for . i know i sound hateful and selfish . carly : i do n't blame you . vent all you want . i 'm fine with it . lulu : no , venting is not going to do anything . i need to go do something . carly : no , lulu – [ scene_break ] johnny : okay , look , i get it that you care for spinelli , that you 're scared for him , but there is no way up to the 10th floor . all the stairwells are either blocked or collapsed , and the fire is still spreading . maxie : spinelli is not only my very best friend in the entire world , he is my essential person . i 'm not going to let him burn to death . johnny : spinelli is not as helpless as you think he is . besides , do you really think jason is going to up and leave him ? maxie : how should i know ? maybe . look , i do n't have blind faith in jason like spinelli does . i do n't think he 's made of kryptonite or faster than a speeding bullet or whatever . gosh , you know , that 's wrong . [ johnny coughs ] maxie : spinelli would be able to set me straight . he 's a superhero fiend , knows all about who 's -- who 's invulnerable , who needs a special outfit to help their powers . what if he dies ? johnny : he wo n't . look , as much as you need to get to spinelli , he needs to get to you that much more . there 's no way in hell he 's going to die tonight . but we got a pretty good shot , maxie , if we do n't get out of this hospital now . i can drag you , but our odds improve if you just cooperate . [ scene_break ] sam : have i ever told you that i really hate the sight of blood ? jason : only about 200 or 300 times . sam : well , i guess some things never change , huh ? i think this is going to do until you 're able to see a doctor . jason : it 's going to have to , because we do n't have much time . we got to find spinelli and get out of here . sam : all right . the question is where do we start ? jason : where do we start ? ow . spinelli left his laptop , which means there had to be some kind of emergency or he thought he was going to be right back . sam : wait a minute -- jason : what ? sam : he said something about a wi - fi signal kept dropping out , and that he was looking for a hard cable line -- jason : so he was looking for a utility closet . sam : i have no idea , but jason , why would he leave his laptop behind ? jason : well , he would n't want his computer near the fire . he would want to make sure that the closet was accessible first , then he 'd go back for his computer . okay , that 's where we 're going to start . let 's go . [ scene_break ] nikolas : so i must have pushed rebecca too hard . she ran away from me , took a wrong turn down a corridor that was on fire , and this wall collapsed on top of her , pinned her down . edward : i thought you said she was okay . nikolas : she is , she 's fine . i managed to -- i managed to get her out just before i got knocked unconscious . she could 've left me there to burn to death , but dragged me down another corridor . and i woke up . i looked at her , and i -- i thought it was emily . monica : can you imagine what it 's got to be like for this rebecca ? i mean , there 's total strangers that are just treating her like she a -- an alien . if i were her , i 'd be unnerved , too . edward : but you see , if we could just explain -- nikolas : well , we can . we can . she should be done with her exam . i 'm going to go downstairs and bring her up , okay ? monica : would you ? that would be wonderful . nikolas : yeah . edward : thank you , nikolas . nikolas : you 're welcome . i 'll be right back . monica : okay . edward : he 's not fooling me . that young man is going to use any excuse , or none at all , to stay near that woman . [ scene_break ] kate : feeling a little bushwhacked , blindsided ? whatever -- do n't worry about it , because i 've thought about this a lot . and i 've come up with a solution . claudia : oh , good . i 'd love to hear it , really -- without admitting i 've done anything , of course . kate : oh , no . no , no , no , no , that 's not going to work . you see , the whole point is for you to own what you 've done without ending up at the bottom of a river . so my plan is that you confess here , in this environment , having just barely survived a poisoning incident . see , that will allow sonny to have some time to think about it . he wo n't be able to act on his first impulse . he wo n't be able to shoot you in a hospital . and you know , sonny is smart . and once he 's had some time to evaluate what he should do next , he 'll realize that killing you really does n't solve anything . and , in fact , his best course of action is to divorce you and put all his efforts to getting you charged and convicted . claudia : you 're some piece of work , you know that ? come on , sitting there all superior . you 're going to dictate what sonny 's going to do and what my punishment should be ? you know what you 're going to sound like ? because there 's this little -- there 's this little hole in your magic plan , and that 's that you do n't have any proof , kate , whatsoever that i did anything wrong . so you 're going to sound bitter and rejected -- [ kate clears throat ] kate : claudia , this is your last chance to save yourself . i suggest you not blow it . sonny : are you going to tell me what 's going on now ? kate : eventually . but for now , it 's just between me and claudia . for now . sonny : olivia , do you know what 's going on between these two ? because they do n't -- she does n't want to tell me , and i do n't know . olivia : i assumed you knew . it 's obviously about you . you ready ? kate : we 'll talk again soon . sonny : sorry . claudia : do n't look at me . i did n't seek kate out . sonny : what is this about ? [ scene_break ] robin : there were a lot of heroes tonight , emma -- doctors and firefighters , people helping other people ... robin : like maxie and johnny helped us . not only did they find us , but they brought emma to the hospital for me so i could help with the evacuation . i do n't know -- maybe that was the wrong decision . i probably should 've been the one to bring my baby to the hospital , but i do n't know . at the time , it just seemed selfish with a hospital full of people that needed to be evacuated . patrick was trapped inside . mac : welcome to the wonders of parenthood . you 're always struggling between your life and your baby , you know , your duty as a cop or a doctor and the needs of your daughter . robin : yeah . i guess it 's no secret i 've been ... struggling with the idea of being someone 's mother . but tonight really put everything in perspective . when my little girl needed me the most , i did what i thought was right . i tried to comfort her , and now she 's okay . [ scene_break ] lulu : my friends are still in there . it is your duty to get them out . firefighter : i ca n't . the fire is spreading to the lower floors . i 've got to pull my men . lulu : you ca n't just leave people in there to die .

[ scene_break ] sonny : do n't take this personal , but i -- i -- usually i do n't talk to fbi agents without my attorney . agent rayner : well , that 's fine , that 's fine . all you have to do is listen . sonny : okay . agent rayner : we 've got search and seizure warrants ready to serve on anthony zacchara 's residence , as well as several offices which we have reason to believe he utilizes as fronts . sonny : good for you . what does that have to do with me ? agent rayner : well , mr. zacchara is your father - in - law , and you 've run your own rather notorious organization . sonny : so ? agent rayner : well , it follows that mr. zacchara would want to get you into the family business . which means that there is a better than good chance that we 'll uncover enough evidence to charge you with various rico violations as well . you could be going away for a very long time . sonny : but i -- i have n't done anything wrong . why you looking at me like that ? agent rayner : you seem just a little bit over - confident , which leads me to believe that you may have entered into some sort of agreement with jason morgan . [ scene_break ] ethan : this is -- this is a rather astonishing development . i mean , you 're one of the most devout anarchists i 've ever met . must be weird to eat the holiday pudding face to face with the law .

[ scene_break ] sonny : let me give you a tip on your interrogation technique . when you tell someone that you plan to prosecute them for somebody else 's crime , they are not going to be as willing to cooperate . agent rayner : well , i appreciate you looking out for me . so why do n't i just take another approach -- total honesty . zacchara 's been doing very bad things for a very long time , and we finally amassed enough evidence to take him out of play . we 're not going to let that go to waste . now , at the end of the day , we would truly love to have zacchara . however , if he proves elusive , we will settle for another high - profile get that sends the same message to organized crime , and that would be you . and no special arrangement that you have with jason morgan will be enough to save you . [ door opens ] alexis : what is the status of the evacuation ? sonny : if you 're here to get answers you can use , forget about it , because agent rayner is onto his next high - profile case . now , i 'm wasting time here . i 've got a wife who 's at mercy . i 've got to get to her . if you 're going to arrest me , do it . if not , i 'm getting the hell out of here .

[ scene_break ] alexis : i realize that you are not directly responsible for the events tonight . that said , there are still people trapped in a burning building . a fire started as a direct result of the fbi losing track of a controlled substance . i would think that would command your attention , rather than him with something he did in the past that could clearly be taken care of in the future . agent rayner : do n't leave town . and if i were you , i 'd locate anthony zacchara . alexis : one more thing , if you do n't mind . we are all impressed with your single - minded dedication to this mission , but i , for one , would like to hear what , if anything , is being done to get the rest of the people , one of whom happens to be my daughter , out of the hospital .

[ scene_break ] jax : i can take the chopper up again . alexis : that is a horrible idea because the winds are worse than they were . the fire department has said the building is unsafe . you 're going to land your helicopter up there , jax ? the roof is going to collapse . jax : i 'm willing to take that risk . alexis : well , i 'm not . listen , we can assume that spinelli , jason , and sam are together . they 're smart enough to get on the stairwell . they 're not going to be waiting on the roof . jax : okay , okay , you 're right . i 'm just -- i just want to help you . alexis : you already have . [ scene_break ] lulu : oh , my god , maxie drives me crazy . i mean , i understand the impulse to want to help spinelli , but realistically , what does she think she 's going to do ? carly : i guess she thinks she 's going to go in there and grab him by his hair and drag him out kicking and screaming . lulu : so now -- and now johnny has gone after her , which is brave and wonderful , but , my god , that 's what the firefighters are for . i know i sound hateful and selfish . carly : i do n't blame you . vent all you want . i 'm fine with it . lulu : no , venting is not going to do anything . i need to go do something . carly : no , lulu – [ scene_break ] johnny : okay , look , i get it that you care for spinelli , that you 're scared for him , but there is no way up to the 10th floor . all the stairwells are either blocked or collapsed , and the fire is still spreading . maxie : spinelli is not only my very best friend in the entire world , he is my essential person . i 'm not going to let him burn to death . johnny : spinelli is not as helpless as you think he is . besides , do you really think jason is going to up and leave him ? maxie : how should i know ? maybe . look , i do n't have blind faith in jason like spinelli does . i do n't think he 's made of kryptonite or faster than a speeding bullet or whatever . gosh , you know , that 's wrong . [ johnny coughs ] maxie : spinelli would be able to set me straight . he 's a superhero fiend , knows all about who 's -- who 's invulnerable , who needs a special outfit to help their powers . what if he dies ? johnny : he wo n't . look , as much as you need to get to spinelli , he needs to get to you that much more . there 's no way in hell he 's going to die tonight . but we got a pretty good shot , maxie , if we do n't get out of this hospital now . i can drag you , but our odds improve if you just cooperate . [ scene_break ] sam : have i ever told you that i really hate the sight of blood ? jason : only about 200 or 300 times . sam : well , i guess some things never change , huh ? i think this is going to do until you 're able to see a doctor . jason : it 's going to have to , because we do n't have much time . we got to find spinelli and get out of here . sam : all right . the question is where do we start ? jason : where do we start ? ow . spinelli left his laptop , which means there had to be some kind of emergency or he thought he was going to be right back . sam : wait a minute -- jason : what ? sam : he said something about a wi - fi signal kept dropping out , and that he was looking for a hard cable line -- jason : so he was looking for a utility closet . sam : i have no idea , but jason , why would he leave his laptop behind ? jason : well , he would n't want his computer near the fire . he would want to make sure that the closet was accessible first , then he 'd go back for his computer . okay , that 's where we 're going to start . let 's go . [ scene_break ] nikolas : so i must have pushed rebecca too hard . she ran away from me , took a wrong turn down a corridor that was on fire , and this wall collapsed on top of her , pinned her down . edward : i thought you said she was okay . nikolas : she is , she 's fine . i managed to -- i managed to get her out just before i got knocked unconscious . she could 've left me there to burn to death , but dragged me down another corridor . and i woke up . i looked at her , and i -- i thought it was emily . monica : can you imagine what it 's got to be like for this rebecca ? i mean , there 's total strangers that are just treating her like she a -- an alien . if i were her , i 'd be unnerved , too . edward : but you see , if we could just explain -- nikolas : well , we can . we can . she should be done with her exam . i 'm going to go downstairs and bring her up , okay ? monica : would you ? that would be wonderful . nikolas : yeah . edward : thank you , nikolas . nikolas : you 're welcome . i 'll be right back . monica : okay . edward : he 's not fooling me . that young man is going to use any excuse , or none at all , to stay near that woman .

[ scene_break ] anna : here you go . noah : thank you . anna : you 're welcome . noah : i 'm sorry about all your hard work . i mean , i 'll make a sizeable , personal donation to lifebeat and -- anna : why do n't we just table lifebeat for now and just try to figure out why your son laid into you . noah : huh . i 'm used to that . he -- my son is nothing if not unforgiving . i do n't really take it to heart anymore . anna : since when ? noah : oh , you heard . i -- his mother , my wife , died on the operating table . anna : yeah , that 's horrible . i 'm sorry . noah : well , i 'll tell you about sorry . my response was to become a pathetic drunk . anna : grief does that to you sometimes . you know , my circumstances are completely different , but i have to say , the results are the same . i failed my daughter miserably . horribly . now , i essentially left her to her own devices for -- for the most pivotal , and i know painful years of her life . the difference is that i refused to accept that distance and all the disappointment . and i decided that i was going to try to be the best mom that i could right now , in the present . and thank god , robin was gracious enough to accept me back into her life . and now , i am able to have a relationship with my adult daughter that i was n't able to have in her childhood . so , you know , i 'm not -- i 'm not judging you or anything , noah , but i really -- i feel that -- that my approach is a little happier than yours . noah : hmm . [ scene_break ] kate : mr. lansing , i appreciate you coming . ric : ah , it 's ric . you know , i must admit , i was intrigued that you 'd call me . i should warn you , if you 're planning on offering me money , bribing a city official is a class d felony , and that 's two years in prison , not counting the hit - and - run , of course . kate : well , i can assure you , mr. lansing -- ric -- ric : yeah . kate : i have no intention of trying to buy you off . although , i do believe that i can give you what you want .

[ scene_break ] emily : oh , thank god you and the kids are okay . elizabeth : it was terrifying . emily : elizabeth , what happened ? elizabeth : a couple of men figured out that i was connected to jason and wanted to use me and my kids as leverage against him . emily : oh , my god . that 's awful . elizabeth : yeah , but i did n't tell the police . emily : you covered for jason ? elizabeth : and i 'd do it all over again . [ scene_break ] sonny : i 'll talk to you later . ric is on a warpath -- he 's going to come after kate now . jason : you see ? that 's exactly why i 'm here . ric knows where you 're vulnerable . he knows how to hurt me . sonny : what do you mean ? jason : i 'm wondering if ric is behind the attack on elizabeth . [ scene_break ] robin : okay , maybe i see this a little more clearly because we have a lot of the same emotional baggage . patrick : you have a steamer trunk full of emotional baggage . robin : your dad was never around when you needed him , your mother passed away -- hello ? patrick : so what 's your point ? robin : okay . my point is , maybe just this once , a case of stage fright is actually stage fright . patrick : my dad was all over this thing from the beginning . the lifestyle , the fans , the personal lessons from your mom . until it got real , then he decided to bail . robin : are you aware of how quick you are to judge your father ? patrick : okay , i could imagine it gets a little bit scary to get up on stage , but he made a commitment to these people that need lifebeat for help . but he 's not going to follow through because he ca n't see rough his own weakness . robin : or fear . patrick : he does n't want to fail , so he 's not even going to try , which gives him an excuse to hate himself , which gives him an excuse to drink . you see where i 'm going with this ? robin : okay , patrick , i wonder what would happen if , instead of attacking noah , you just gave him the benefit of the doubt . patrick : it 's pointless , robin . robin : because you 've tried so many times ? come on , i know deep down , you really love your father . so if you 're not supporting him , maybe you 're the one who 's bailing . [ scene_break ] noah : do you really think if i get up here and do this , that my son will suddenly respect me ? anna : oh , i do n't know . it 's worth a try . [ anna sighs ] anna : look , i 'm not going to say you 're exactly like eli , because that would be an insult to both your careers . but you are definitely good enough to pass . you know , when the lights are dimmed , and the band is rocking out , all those fans are out there screaming , you 're going to be golden . noah : just the thought of -- of performing to people that are going to be out there makes me want to dive headfirst into a bottle of vodka . i do n't know if i can even put one foot in front of the other and make it onto the stage . anna : could you if patrick 's life were in the balance ? noah : yeah . i 'd have to , would n't i ? anna : what about his love ? i do n't know . if you do this , you might just turn things around for the two of you . [ scene_break ] kate : correct me if i 'm wrong . sonny is the one you 're after , not me . ric : well , he 's a criminal . kate : so why intentionally seek to damage my career ? ric : well , you choose to associate with the wrong people , ms. howard . kate : uh - huh , i see . if i lost my magazine tomorrow , sonny would n't lose a moment 's sleep . ric : hmm . kate : you do n't hurt sonny when you hurt me . you just hurt me . ric : yes , but sonny 's invested in you . he will feel guilty if you suffer . you know , maybe guilty enough to trigger a downward spiral . a repeat of last summer . or did sonny fail to mention that he was mentally ill ? well , shame on him . well , full disclosure , ms. howard -- my brother is a card - carrying wack job . he 's manic - depressive . kate : all the more reason for me to want nothing to do with him . [ scene_break ] lucky : is it me , or did sam leave this place in record time ? nikolas : well , i 'm just now starting to get to know my cousin . i -- i just think she 's still in a lot of pain over her breakup with jason , and looking for someplace to put all that emotion . lucky : you think she 's putting it into me ? nikolas : i think she can relate to what you 're going through , yes . lucky : you know what ? you 're right . i am feeling a lot of things that sam 's feeling . i 'm hurt , i am angry , and i am embarrassed that i turned a blind eye for so long . nikolas : why , lucky ? you believed your wife . there 's no shame in that . lucky : no , i believed elizabeth 's excuses , and every lie that she fed to me . nikolas : okay -- if you -- do you really feel that way ? because if you do , you 're not being fair to yourself , you 're not being share to your wife , or your children . i mean , have you considered that it just might be better to separate if you -- lucky : i ca n't give up on my marriage . no matter how angry i am with elizabeth -- you know , i just do n't know how to stop loving her . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : i asked jason to meet me yesterday after i had been accosted at the park . he made a decision to stay out of my life . emily : huh . in case his life was n't messed up enough already , you know ? between the trial , everything else -- elizabeth : right , right . he means so much to me . i mean , beyond saving my life and jake 's , he has been more kind and selfless that i deserve . i love him . i love him . and i have -- i 've rationalized all the time that i 've spent with him that it was n't hurting anyone . but the truth is , it was hurting everyone . me and lucky . especially jason . emily : elizabeth , i know my brother . he would n't end your relationship because he was getting hurt . elizabeth : no , he did it to protect jake . and -- and me , and -- and cameron . he did it to protect us . but we 're safer if -- if there is no contact with him . emily : there 's only one problem . you want that contact . elizabeth : and i 'd be willing to take that risk for myself . emily : you would walk away from lucky to -- to be with jason ? elizabeth : i mean , i have two children i have to consider . i have to do what 's best for them . and whatever happens with me and lucky , whether we get divorced , or not , i can never be with jason . [ scene_break ] sonny : look , we 're in a strong position right now . alcazar 's gone , there has n't been any problems -- jason : it does n't make any sense that a professional would try to grab elizabeth and her kids in the middle of the afternoon right in the center of the park . okay ? but if it was a setup to scare elizabeth -- you know that 's how ric thinks . sonny : yeah , it is , but ric claims to care for elizabeth . jason : oh , come on , man . you did n't see what ric did to elizabeth on the witness stand . he hurt elizabeth to get to me . it just makes sense that ric would threaten elizabeth and her kids . sonny : you know what ? you can make a case against ric , but the thing is , you know how many enemies we 've had over the years ? any one of them could have seen you and elizabeth 's relationship in the papers , in the news -- jason : i get it , i know , and it gives ric cover , i know that . sonny : right . i mean , he 's a -- he 's a snake . and you know what ? he could have set this whole thing up . i believe that . but the thing is , he may not . so we ca n't let ourselves get caught up in hating him so much that we overlook the other possible threats . jason : yeah , i just -- i just need to find the men who threatened elizabeth and make them give up who they work for . [ phone rings ] sonny : hello ? elizabeth : sonny , it 's elizabeth spencer . did i catch you at a bad time ? sonny : i 'm in a meeting with jason . elizabeth : oh , please do n't -- do n't tell him that it 's me . i do n't want him to know what i 'm doing .

[ scene_break ] kate : if you approve the deal i was offered by your assistant d.a . -- ric : uh - huh . kate : i will sever all ties with sonny . i 'll do community service , i 'll pay the fine . you want it to leak that sonny 's mentally ill ? will that give you the public humiliation you 're looking for ? ric : well , i 've got to say , i 'm not surprised that you would go this far to preserve your own career . but you see , i prefer to watch sonny choke on his own powerlessness . the harder i make things on you , the more humiliated he 'll be . so , sorry . there 's not going to be any plea bargains , there 's not going to be any community service . you are going to get your day in court , ms. howard . and it 's going to be as bad as you think it is . i promise you that . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : thank you for coming over . sonny : i 'm not sure what i 'm doing here . i mean , you know , i -- and why i have to keep this from my best friend . elizabeth : jason and i have decided to end our friendship . something happened , and he has made the choice to stay away from me and my children . sonny : yeah , yeah , i know about that . elizabeth : oh . okay . well , then you know how hard it is for everyone involved . he means more to me than i can even tell you . and i know that you 're his best friend , and he 's hurting , which makes me worry that , under the circumstances , he 's not going to stop to consider the risks he 's facing . sonny : i -- i still do n't know exactly what i 'm doing here . elizabeth : he 's not going to take care of himself . i 'm asking you to take care of him for me . sonny : but you created this , elizabeth . i really do n't think you get to decide how he deals with it . [ scene_break ] maxie : well , see , coop and i are having problems , and i thought maybe , if i could help him solve a case , we could work things out . spinelli : so you 're thinking that the clean - cut cadet will overlook your unseemly behavior in exchange for career advancement ? maxie : that 's an insulting way to put it , i think . but it 's true -- if coop catches those people that threatened elizabeth and her kids in the park , then that would be good for him , and in turn , that would be good for me . spinelli : you would be well - served to allow coop and the other law - abiding ones to solve their own cases , okay ? the fate of fair elizabeth is out of your hands . maxie : i know what you 're doing . you 're trying to solve this case yourself so you can impress lulu , but you 're going to tell me what you found out . [ door opens ] jason : what are you doing here ? spinelli : the bad blond one is trying to foment discord between the fair lulu and the jackal , okay ? maxie : why would you say something like that ? jason : can you just quit -- quit messing with spinelli , okay ? spinelli : yeah . quit messing . maxie : fine . but when you need help , do n't ask me for a favor . jason : okay , did you find anything about the guys in the park ? spinelli : you know , that 's exactly what the bad blond one was asking about -- jason : i do n't care about her . i need you to stay focused . i need you to find these guys . spinelli : okay , it 's , um -- it 's hard when there 's nothing to go on , okay ? even the jackal ca n't just conjure up these evildoers -- jason : well , the jackal should keep looking , because i need to make sure these guys never threaten elizabeth or her kids again .

[ scene_break ] sam : when elizabeth and the boys were threatened , the only thing on my mind was running off the attackers . but i 've been going over and over it in my head , and , lucky , i am certain that they mentioned jason , which is crazy , because i think it makes me just as much of a target as it does elizabeth . lucky : wait , how do you figure ? sam : well , jason and i were closer . i lived together with him for three years , and i just -- look , i -- i 'm starting to worry that whoever threatened elizabeth is going to come after me . so , i need your help . i want to hire a bodyguard . and i would like to hire you .

[ scene_break ] sonny : correct me if i 'm wrong . you 're the one who showed up at jason 's the night you slept together . elizabeth : you know i did . sonny : and then you decided to go back to lucky . elizabeth : well , yeah . he was trying to quit using drugs . sonny : well , i 'm not making any judgments . i 'm just trying to get the facts straight . so you chose to go back to your husband , could n't let jason go , and you kept reeling him in . and i know that to be true , because i -- he would get calls on his cell phone -- i was right there . and you would meet him at places like the pier , like -- you visited him a lot in prison , right ? elizabeth : yeah -- i just -- i was just -- i was trying to help him . sonny : the way he helped you out ? when your baby was stolen , whatever you asked jason to do , he would do it , no questions asked . now it 's over , and you -- and you ca n't leave him alone . elizabeth : what 's your point , sonny ? sonny : my -- the point i 'm making is , if you and jason have decided to stay apart from each other , you got to let him go .

stage fright could cancel noah 's stint as eli love , but anna convinces him to go on . however , a minor accident may have injured his throat . jason tells spinelli and liz tells lucky that they will not be seeing each other ever again . maxie figures out that sam faked the attack on elizabeth and the boys . kate informs ric that hurting her will not harm sonny , just her . ric feels obligated to let her know his brother is mentally ill . she offers to cut ties to sonny for a lenient deal , but he refuses . maxie wants spinelli to find out who attacked liz so she can score points with coop ; he refuses her but is willing to fill the request , if possible , for jason . sam wants to hire lucky as her bodyguard . emily and nikolas clash , to a minor degree , over the lucky , elizabeth , jason triangle . elizabeth asks sonny to take care of jason for her , but he is not sympathetic , considering how she 's jerked jason around with her back and forthing between him and lucky . an old , male friend of kate 's shows up .

[ door closes ] [ sam sighs ] [ knock on door ] maxie : this is going to come back to bite you . sam : i have no idea what you 're talking about . maxie : the two men that just left -- they match the description of the guys who threatened elizabeth in the park . sam : those guys ? those guys are grips on `` everyday heroes . `` maxie : come on , sam . i know what it 's like to get caught doing something wrong and then deny , deny , deny . but if i figured it out , how long do you think until jason puts it all together ? [ scene_break ] nikolas : huh . oh , i 'm sorry , miss , but i think you may have wandered into the wrong house . emily : oh , yeah ? it looks so much like the place i used to live in . but after a week of late shifts , it 's kind of hard to tell . i swear you look like someone i know . yes , i 'm pretty sure we 've met . [ nikolas chuckles ] nikolas : so are you up for the day , or you still need some more sleep ? emily : i need more coffee . nikolas : well , i came downstairs to leave for the stables . you were crashed on the couch , dead to the world . emily : yeah . i did n't even take time to change after work . all i wanted to do was get home . and then i sat on the couch to look at the mail , and that is the last thing i remember . at least you did n't have to step over me in the doorway . nikolas : well , the next time that you have to work late , you call me , and i 'll come downstairs and meet you here and carry you up . emily : you will ? nikolas : yeah . emily : you 'd do that for me ? nikolas : no , i 'd do it for me . i hate it when i ca n't wake up next to you . emily : oh . [ scene_break ] lucky : i just do n't know how to believe anything you say or do . it 's not about being mean . it 's just honest . elizabeth : we promised we could try again . that 's why i 'm here . but if you do n't want to do it , i 'm not going to hold you to it . lucky : well , that seemed a little too easy for you . elizabeth : because i do n't know what you want . lucky : i want you to fight for me ! i want to know that if i invest in us again , that i wo n't find myself tripping over jason anymore . elizabeth : this is n't about jason . lucky : it 's always about jason . whether he 's your lover or your friend ! elizabeth : we 're not friends anymore . lucky : since when ? elizabeth : jason lives a dangerous life . i 'm not going to expose my children to it . lucky : oh , so you did n't end your friendship with jason for me , or to save our marriage . elizabeth : whether or not you and i can save our marriage , jason will no longer be a part of my life . [ scene_break ] sam : if you actually believe that i hired the men who threatened elizabeth , why do n't you tell jason ? maxie : because we 're friends , and i would never want to blow your cover . besides , i admire you . it was a brilliant plan , getting those guys to scare elizabeth . that perfect mom probably went running to lucky never to see jason again . sam : i really -- i do n't care about elizabeth . maxie : sam , you disappoint me . not long ago , we were all about ruining elizabeth 's life . here i am waiting for the fun to start . unfortunately , mac gave me a description of what the guys from the park looked like , and those two fit it perfectly . sam : no , those two do not . i already told you , they are workers from `` everyday heroes , `` my show . remember , that show ? besides , elizabeth is living in a hell of her own making . maxie : all right . if that 's how you want to play it . just make sure no one else catches on . [ scene_break ] jason : okay , i want you to hack into the security links from every building surrounding that park , and you find anyone who remotely fits that description . spinelli : okay . why not have fair elizabeth take a look at possible suspects so she can help you narrow it down ? jason : she ca n't . spinelli : uh -- i mean , it 's really easy . i can just isolate the frames , blow it up , print it out -- jason : i 'm not going to be seeing elizabeth anymore . spinelli : well -- um -- what about baby stone cold ? jason : i do n't want to talk about it , spinelli . spinelli : look , you ca n't be separated from your firstborn . jason : i decided to stay out their lives for good . [ scene_break ] robin : i thought you were taking the afternoon off . patrick : you heard my father -- change in plans . robin : that 's a chart for one of noah 's patients . patrick : robin , i 've been reviewing my father 's charts for the past five weeks . robin : why ? patrick : because five weeks ago , i came up with a brilliant plan to have my father impersonate eli love , and now , obviously , he 's cracking under the pressure . i want to make sure that no one 's fell through the cracks . robin : do you really think noah neglected his patients ? patrick : i 'll tell you when i 'm done . look , i know my father 's limitations , but i wanted to do eli love 's surgery so bad that i neglected my hard - won experience . robin : i wonder why . patrick : to save the unsavable patient . robin : is that all ? i mean , it was to kind of make a connection with your dad . it was something to share with him . patrick : it is ridiculous of me to think that my father could pull this off . this is doomed to fail from the start . he 's too self - centered to see this through . [ scene_break ] anna : here you go . noah : thank you . anna : you 're welcome . noah : i 'm sorry about all your hard work . i mean , i 'll make a sizeable , personal donation to lifebeat and -- anna : why do n't we just table lifebeat for now and just try to figure out why your son laid into you . noah : huh . i 'm used to that . he -- my son is nothing if not unforgiving . i do n't really take it to heart anymore . anna : since when ? noah : oh , you heard . i -- his mother , my wife , died on the operating table . anna : yeah , that 's horrible . i 'm sorry . noah : well , i 'll tell you about sorry . my response was to become a pathetic drunk . anna : grief does that to you sometimes . you know , my circumstances are completely different , but i have to say , the results are the same . i failed my daughter miserably . horribly . now , i essentially left her to her own devices for -- for the most pivotal , and i know painful years of her life . the difference is that i refused to accept that distance and all the disappointment . and i decided that i was going to try to be the best mom that i could right now , in the present . and thank god , robin was gracious enough to accept me back into her life . and now , i am able to have a relationship with my adult daughter that i was n't able to have in her childhood . so , you know , i 'm not -- i 'm not judging you or anything , noah , but i really -- i feel that -- that my approach is a little happier than yours . noah : hmm . [ scene_break ] kate : mr. lansing , i appreciate you coming . ric : ah , it 's ric . you know , i must admit , i was intrigued that you 'd call me . i should warn you , if you 're planning on offering me money , bribing a city official is a class d felony , and that 's two years in prison , not counting the hit - and - run , of course . kate : well , i can assure you , mr. lansing -- ric -- ric : yeah . kate : i have no intention of trying to buy you off . although , i do believe that i can give you what you want . [ scene_break ] nikolas : have the papers notarized and sent back to me . i 'll look for them midweek . thank you . sam : hi . nikolas : hi . sam : i -- i 'm sorry . i should have called first . i did n't mean to just drop by like this . nikolas : no , no , no one really drops by here . it 's no one 's way to anywhere . i -- i heard about what happened in the park . you rescued elizabeth and her children ? sam : yeah . i happened to be in the right place at the right time . nikolas : good . well , on -- on behalf of my brother , i 'm very grateful , thank you . sam : you do know that lucky was called to the scene ? okay , well , i could not believe the level of tension between him and elizabeth , and i am pretty certain that lucky is going to be desperate to be the one to find these guys , and i just -- i 'm really worried that he is going to put himself in harm 's way . lucky : that 's what cops do . why are you suddenly worried about me ? [ scene_break ] emily : oh , thank god you and the kids are okay . elizabeth : it was terrifying . emily : elizabeth , what happened ? elizabeth : a couple of men figured out that i was connected to jason and wanted to use me and my kids as leverage against him . emily : oh , my god . that 's awful . elizabeth : yeah , but i did n't tell the police . emily : you covered for jason ? elizabeth : and i 'd do it all over again . [ scene_break ] sonny : i 'll talk to you later . ric is on a warpath -- he 's going to come after kate now . jason : you see ? that 's exactly why i 'm here . ric knows where you 're vulnerable . he knows how to hurt me . sonny : what do you mean ? jason : i 'm wondering if ric is behind the attack on elizabeth . [ scene_break ] robin : okay , maybe i see this a little more clearly because we have a lot of the same emotional baggage . patrick : you have a steamer trunk full of emotional baggage . robin : your dad was never around when you needed him , your mother passed away -- hello ? patrick : so what 's your point ? robin : okay . my point is , maybe just this once , a case of stage fright is actually stage fright . patrick : my dad was all over this thing from the beginning . the lifestyle , the fans , the personal lessons from your mom . until it got real , then he decided to bail . robin : are you aware of how quick you are to judge your father ? patrick : okay , i could imagine it gets a little bit scary to get up on stage , but he made a commitment to these people that need lifebeat for help . but he 's not going to follow through because he ca n't see rough his own weakness . robin : or fear . patrick : he does n't want to fail , so he 's not even going to try , which gives him an excuse to hate himself , which gives him an excuse to drink . you see where i 'm going with this ? robin : okay , patrick , i wonder what would happen if , instead of attacking noah , you just gave him the benefit of the doubt . patrick : it 's pointless , robin . robin : because you 've tried so many times ? come on , i know deep down , you really love your father . so if you 're not supporting him , maybe you 're the one who 's bailing . [ scene_break ] noah : do you really think if i get up here and do this , that my son will suddenly respect me ? anna : oh , i do n't know . it 's worth a try . [ anna sighs ] anna : look , i 'm not going to say you 're exactly like eli , because that would be an insult to both your careers . but you are definitely good enough to pass . you know , when the lights are dimmed , and the band is rocking out , all those fans are out there screaming , you 're going to be golden . noah : just the thought of -- of performing to people that are going to be out there makes me want to dive headfirst into a bottle of vodka . i do n't know if i can even put one foot in front of the other and make it onto the stage . anna : could you if patrick 's life were in the balance ? noah : yeah . i 'd have to , would n't i ? anna : what about his love ? i do n't know . if you do this , you might just turn things around for the two of you . [ scene_break ] kate : correct me if i 'm wrong . sonny is the one you 're after , not me . ric : well , he 's a criminal . kate : so why intentionally seek to damage my career ? ric : well , you choose to associate with the wrong people , ms. howard . kate : uh - huh , i see . if i lost my magazine tomorrow , sonny would n't lose a moment 's sleep . ric : hmm . kate : you do n't hurt sonny when you hurt me . you just hurt me . ric : yes , but sonny 's invested in you . he will feel guilty if you suffer . you know , maybe guilty enough to trigger a downward spiral . a repeat of last summer . or did sonny fail to mention that he was mentally ill ? well , shame on him . well , full disclosure , ms. howard -- my brother is a card - carrying wack job . he 's manic - depressive . kate : all the more reason for me to want nothing to do with him . [ scene_break ] lucky : is it me , or did sam leave this place in record time ? nikolas : well , i 'm just now starting to get to know my cousin . i -- i just think she 's still in a lot of pain over her breakup with jason , and looking for someplace to put all that emotion . lucky : you think she 's putting it into me ? nikolas : i think she can relate to what you 're going through , yes . lucky : you know what ? you 're right . i am feeling a lot of things that sam 's feeling . i 'm hurt , i am angry , and i am embarrassed that i turned a blind eye for so long . nikolas : why , lucky ? you believed your wife . there 's no shame in that . lucky : no , i believed elizabeth 's excuses , and every lie that she fed to me . nikolas : okay -- if you -- do you really feel that way ? because if you do , you 're not being fair to yourself , you 're not being share to your wife , or your children . i mean , have you considered that it just might be better to separate if you -- lucky : i ca n't give up on my marriage . no matter how angry i am with elizabeth -- you know , i just do n't know how to stop loving her . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : i asked jason to meet me yesterday after i had been accosted at the park . he made a decision to stay out of my life . emily : huh . in case his life was n't messed up enough already , you know ? between the trial , everything else -- elizabeth : right , right . he means so much to me . i mean , beyond saving my life and jake 's , he has been more kind and selfless that i deserve . i love him . i love him . and i have -- i 've rationalized all the time that i 've spent with him that it was n't hurting anyone . but the truth is , it was hurting everyone . me and lucky . especially jason . emily : elizabeth , i know my brother . he would n't end your relationship because he was getting hurt . elizabeth : no , he did it to protect jake . and -- and me , and -- and cameron . he did it to protect us . but we 're safer if -- if there is no contact with him . emily : there 's only one problem . you want that contact . elizabeth : and i 'd be willing to take that risk for myself . emily : you would walk away from lucky to -- to be with jason ? elizabeth : i mean , i have two children i have to consider . i have to do what 's best for them . and whatever happens with me and lucky , whether we get divorced , or not , i can never be with jason . [ scene_break ] sonny : look , we 're in a strong position right now . alcazar 's gone , there has n't been any problems -- jason : it does n't make any sense that a professional would try to grab elizabeth and her kids in the middle of the afternoon right in the center of the park . okay ? but if it was a setup to scare elizabeth -- you know that 's how ric thinks . sonny : yeah , it is , but ric claims to care for elizabeth . jason : oh , come on , man . you did n't see what ric did to elizabeth on the witness stand . he hurt elizabeth to get to me . it just makes sense that ric would threaten elizabeth and her kids . sonny : you know what ? you can make a case against ric , but the thing is , you know how many enemies we 've had over the years ? any one of them could have seen you and elizabeth 's relationship in the papers , in the news -- jason : i get it , i know , and it gives ric cover , i know that . sonny : right . i mean , he 's a -- he 's a snake . and you know what ? he could have set this whole thing up . i believe that . but the thing is , he may not . so we ca n't let ourselves get caught up in hating him so much that we overlook the other possible threats . jason : yeah , i just -- i just need to find the men who threatened elizabeth and make them give up who they work for . [ phone rings ] sonny : hello ? elizabeth : sonny , it 's elizabeth spencer . did i catch you at a bad time ? sonny : i 'm in a meeting with jason . elizabeth : oh , please do n't -- do n't tell him that it 's me . i do n't want him to know what i 'm doing .

[ scene_break ] kate : if you approve the deal i was offered by your assistant d.a . -- ric : uh - huh . kate : i will sever all ties with sonny . i 'll do community service , i 'll pay the fine . you want it to leak that sonny 's mentally ill ? will that give you the public humiliation you 're looking for ? ric : well , i 've got to say , i 'm not surprised that you would go this far to preserve your own career . but you see , i prefer to watch sonny choke on his own powerlessness . the harder i make things on you , the more humiliated he 'll be . so , sorry . there 's not going to be any plea bargains , there 's not going to be any community service . you are going to get your day in court , ms. howard . and it 's going to be as bad as you think it is . i promise you that . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : thank you for coming over . sonny : i 'm not sure what i 'm doing here . i mean , you know , i -- and why i have to keep this from my best friend . elizabeth : jason and i have decided to end our friendship . something happened , and he has made the choice to stay away from me and my children . sonny : yeah , yeah , i know about that . elizabeth : oh . okay . well , then you know how hard it is for everyone involved . he means more to me than i can even tell you . and i know that you 're his best friend , and he 's hurting , which makes me worry that , under the circumstances , he 's not going to stop to consider the risks he 's facing . sonny : i -- i still do n't know exactly what i 'm doing here . elizabeth : he 's not going to take care of himself . i 'm asking you to take care of him for me . sonny : but you created this , elizabeth . i really do n't think you get to decide how he deals with it . [ scene_break ] maxie : well , see , coop and i are having problems , and i thought maybe , if i could help him solve a case , we could work things out . spinelli : so you 're thinking that the clean - cut cadet will overlook your unseemly behavior in exchange for career advancement ? maxie : that 's an insulting way to put it , i think . but it 's true -- if coop catches those people that threatened elizabeth and her kids in the park , then that would be good for him , and in turn , that would be good for me . spinelli : you would be well - served to allow coop and the other law - abiding ones to solve their own cases , okay ? the fate of fair elizabeth is out of your hands . maxie : i know what you 're doing . you 're trying to solve this case yourself so you can impress lulu , but you 're going to tell me what you found out . [ door opens ] jason : what are you doing here ? spinelli : the bad blond one is trying to foment discord between the fair lulu and the jackal , okay ? maxie : why would you say something like that ? jason : can you just quit -- quit messing with spinelli , okay ? spinelli : yeah . quit messing . maxie : fine . but when you need help , do n't ask me for a favor . jason : okay , did you find anything about the guys in the park ? spinelli : you know , that 's exactly what the bad blond one was asking about -- jason : i do n't care about her . i need you to stay focused . i need you to find these guys . spinelli : okay , it 's , um -- it 's hard when there 's nothing to go on , okay ? even the jackal ca n't just conjure up these evildoers -- jason : well , the jackal should keep looking , because i need to make sure these guys never threaten elizabeth or her kids again . [ scene_break ] sam : hi . lucky : hey . sam : thanks for doing this . thank you , thank you . lucky : you know , i do n't know what you have to say to me that you could n't tell me at wyndemere . sam : i know . it was incredibly awkward when you walked in . i was talking to nikolas about you and -- i got flustered , and i just -- i just want to let you know that i do n't gossip , okay ? i 'm not that kind of a person , only because i hate when people gossip about me . lucky : sam , just tell me why i 'm here . sam : okay , um -- well , it 's not what you think . i -- i need your help . [ scene_break ] nikolas : uh -- what happened ? emily : nikolas , i love elizabeth . she 's the closest girlfriend i 've ever had , and i 'm nowhere near perfect , but -- nikolas : what , but what ? emily : jason was just tried for murder . he and sam are finished . he 's been through hell , mostly because he risked his freedom for elizabeth and jake , and now it 's too dangerous for him to see them ? it 's just not fair . nikolas : emily , would n't it -- would n't it be easier for lucky and elizabeth to work out their problems if jason was n't in the picture ? i thought that 's what you wanted . emily : i do . i did , okay ? i did -- until i realized how much we 've all changed . it 's wrong for elizabeth to keep denying her own feelings . it 's not going to do anyone any good . and i 'm sorry , but as much as i love lucky , my brother deserves some happiness , too . nikolas : yeah . well , as wonderful as i 'm sure jason is -- and i 'll have to just take your word for it -- but i just ca n't see elizabeth bringing her children home to a -- to a criminal , emily . i mean -- emily : look , i 'm not making excuses for my brother , but i just know that he would be so good for elizabeth , nikolas . but i know , okay ? it 's not my decision to make . nikolas : yeah . well , sometimes i wonder if there 's some cosmic principle out there that says that lucky and elizabeth and you and i ca n't all be happy and in love at the same time . emily : oh , god , please , do n't even say that . i would hate to think that our happiness comes at the expense of lucky and elizabeth . nikolas : well , are you happy ? emily : i know that this is where i belong . i do n't doubt our love for a minute . nikolas : you mean the world to me , emily , and i thank god every single day that you took me back . emily : hmm . [ scene_break ] sam : when elizabeth and the boys were threatened , the only thing on my mind was running off the attackers . but i 've been going over and over it in my head , and , lucky , i am certain that they mentioned jason , which is crazy , because i think it makes me just as much of a target as it does elizabeth . lucky : wait , how do you figure ? sam : well , jason and i were closer . i lived together with him for three years , and i just -- look , i -- i 'm starting to worry that whoever threatened elizabeth is going to come after me . so , i need your help . i want to hire a bodyguard . and i would like to hire you .

[ scene_break ] sonny : correct me if i 'm wrong . you 're the one who showed up at jason 's the night you slept together . elizabeth : you know i did . sonny : and then you decided to go back to lucky . elizabeth : well , yeah . he was trying to quit using drugs . sonny : well , i 'm not making any judgments . i 'm just trying to get the facts straight . so you chose to go back to your husband , could n't let jason go , and you kept reeling him in . and i know that to be true , because i -- he would get calls on his cell phone -- i was right there . and you would meet him at places like the pier , like -- you visited him a lot in prison , right ? elizabeth : yeah -- i just -- i was just -- i was trying to help him . sonny : the way he helped you out ? when your baby was stolen , whatever you asked jason to do , he would do it , no questions asked . now it 's over , and you -- and you ca n't leave him alone . elizabeth : what 's your point , sonny ? sonny : my -- the point i 'm making is , if you and jason have decided to stay apart from each other , you got to let him go .

harley told gus she gives him a lot of credit for standing up to alan the way he did and for not letting alan 's promises of money or power influence him , but gus maintained that he 's his own person and that all he and alan share is biology . gus also stressed that he does n't want any help from alan . frank was summoned to the mayor 's office , where the mayor pressured frank to reinstate gus to the force . although the mayor said he was voicing sentiments on behalf of a concerned citizen , frank saw through the smokescreen and realized it was alan spaulding who was putting on the pressure . frank was caught off guard when the mayor introduced him to jeffrey o'neal , the new d.a . , who the mayor explained just recently transferred from the manhattan d.a . 's office . still puzzled by jeffrey 's resemblance to richard winslow , frank begrudgingly agreed to reinstate gus back to the force . after frank left , the mayor asked jeffrey to join him and a few others out on the golf course , but jeffrey turned him down , saying there are a stack of cases to take care of , then he asked the mayor some questions about edmund winslow , saying he smells a rat where edmund 's concerned . frank later arrived at harley and gus ' place , where he stoically informed gus that he 's been reinstated to the force . when gus questioned how this all occurred so fast , frank simply said that `` higher - ups `` decided it . as gus and harley were ecstatic at the news , frank informed gus that there 's one condition on his return to the police force : that gus and harley can no longer be partners . they were astounded and angry at frank , who told them that he ca n't have two of his police officers letting their hearts steer them instead of their heads . harley stunned both frank and gus by announcing she 's quitting ! later , after they were alone , gus asked harley if she made the decision in spite of frank , but harley told him that after her recent brush with death and seeing nadine again , she realized what 's important in life and wants to spend more quality time with her kids and gus . gus again asked her if she 's making the right decision , and she told him her decision `` feels right `` .

( laughs ) [ scene_break ] buzz : frank , first off , i 've made a career rejecting authority . and you went the other way . i mean , you 've actually become authority . it 's not easy . it 's not always going to make you mr . popularity . frank : pop , when i became police chief , i really thought that this job was going to make a difference . i really wanted to do good . and now my job 's taken me from protecting the public to playing politics with the mayor , and then dealing with concerned citizens and their agendas . i almost miss the drug dealers and murderers , you know what i mean ? i put aitoro back on the force . buzz : good . seeing you and your sister on opposite sides , it was beginning to be unnatural . frank : she does n't know about it . she does n't know that alan forced the mayor 's hand on this one . buzz : really ? father of the year ? are you going to tell her ? frank : nope . no , not at all . in fact , we 're not really on speaking terms . i put a condition on aitoro getting his badge back . buzz : a lifetime supply of donuts , i bet . frank : i told them they could n't be partners . pop , i know i did the right thing . buzz : i bet that went over big . frank : she quit , dad . buzz : ( sighs ) frank : fine . go ahead . you know what ? lay it on me . give it to me . both barrels . go right ahead . buzz : oh , frank . you know , you have a moral compass on you that i envy , but the frank that i know and love , he leaves a little room . frank : what are you talking about ? buzz : well , you know , for all your goodness , you leave room for those of us that are n't so good , so we can make mistakes , like you can . i mean , how do you think i squeezed myself back into your life ? i know you 've got a lot going on . but so do they , all right ? so i think maybe you should make a little bit of room for harley and marina , because you would n't want to take the chance of losing the two most important women in your life .

's office . still puzzled by jeffrey 's resemblance to richard winslow , frank begrudgingly agreed to reinstate gus back to the force . after frank left , the mayor asked jeffrey to join him and a few others out on the golf course , but jeffrey turned him down , saying there are a stack of cases to take care of , then he asked the mayor some questions about edmund winslow , saying he smells a rat where edmund 's concerned . frank later arrived at harley and gus ' place , where he stoically informed gus that he 's been reinstated to the force . when gus questioned how this all occurred so fast , frank simply said that `` higher - ups `` decided it . as gus and harley were ecstatic at the news , frank informed gus that there 's one condition on his return to the police force : that gus and harley can no longer be partners . they were astounded and angry at frank , who told them that he ca n't have two of his police officers letting their hearts steer them instead of their heads . harley stunned both frank and gus by announcing she 's quitting ! later , after they were alone , gus asked harley if she made the decision in spite of frank , but harley told him that after her recent brush with death and seeing nadine again , she realized what 's important in life and wants to spend more quality time with her kids and gus . gus again asked her if she 's making the right decision , and she told him her decision `` feels right `` .</s>

while searching for tools that she and mike could use to escape , katie found an old fraser photo album , and lamented not knowing about simon 's life before their marriage . she figured that simon had forgotten about her , but mike insisted that was impossible . mike patched into mordecai 's phone line , and he and katie heard simon warn mordecai to stay away from katie . walker , bonnie , and molly arrived at the salon . walker told bonnie he had been offered a job in oakdale , then reassured her she had done a good thing by giving sarah a father . molly cried to lily about missing her family , and lily convinced her she needed a night out with carly . paul heard jen warn connie to leave dusty to her . jen tried to pretend that she had been referring to him , but he did n't buy it . she promised to stay away from dusty if paul participated in the charity auction , but , when he agreed , she secretly plotted with connie to get the penthouse to herself for the night . after craig 's anonymous tip to the police , he and dusty were arrested for illegal gambling . dusty mistakenly thought jen was the whistle - blower . rosanna was heartbroken when craig 's arrest forced the adoption agency to rescind their offer for an interview . alison revealed her jealousy about chris 's participation in the auction to aaron . aaron offered to lend her the money to bid on chris herself , if she promised to help make sure only someone `` safe `` bid on him .

[ scene_break ] rosanna : paul , that 's enough . leave your mother alone . rosanna : i am saying that i agree with you . i think that what your mother did was wrong . paul : that 's right -- rosanna : but i 'm just asking you to try to understand why she did it . paul : because she 's insane . rosanna : but her heart was in the right place . all she wanted was to help will and gwen have a family . paul : instead , what 's she done is she 's torn the family apart . rosanna : you know what that 's like , do n't you ? to hurt the people that you love to want their forgiveness more than anything ? i mean , it took jennifer being on her deathbed for her to forgive you for what you did with johnny -- i mean , do you want to wait that long to forgive your mother ? barbara : paul ? do you think you can forgive me ? please ? [ scene_break ] dr. bullock : now , i have n't had the chance to go over the full results of your cvs test , but there is something that i can tell you . would you like to know the sex of the baby ? meg : i do n't know . do we ? craig : it 's up to you . meg : okay . tell us . dr. bullock : congratulations . it 's a boy . craig : it 's a boy . a son . [ scene_break ] holden : i 'm going to check on ethan . emma : hey . cold . what happened to all my cookies ? noah : that -- that would be my fault . i guess i just ca n't say no to your cooking . sorry . emma : oh , my goodness , what a smooth talker , huh , luke ? ca n't say no to my cooking , well , i guess that means you want to stay for dinner , huh ? noah : i would love that . you know , i also just have to -- take some books out to my truck , so i 'll be right back . emma : okay . luke : well , grandma thanks for inviting noah to dinner , grandma . you know , he had a really , really good time at thanksgiving . emma : oh , that 's wonderful . luke : he has n't even stopped talking about it . emma : he 's welcome here anytime -- anytime at all . luke : well , i am glad to hear that because i was kind of hoping that noah could stay with us for christmas . emma : well , you know , we kind of have a full house with jack and the children , and brad , and your dad , and your brothers and sisters , i 'm going to -- i do n't think we have a single room left . luke : well , that 's okay . noah can stay in my room . [ scene_break ] aaron : okay . so let 's say i do what you want me to do and i leave you here alone . what are you going to do ? sofie : i do n't know . i have n't thought about it . aaron : well , maybe you should think about it . sofie : maybe you should stop telling me what to do . i can think for myself , you know . aaron : i 'm just trying to show you that you have a lot of other options . sofie : yes , you 're right , i do . i can keep listening or i can ask you to leave . and i 'm asking you to leave . i mean it , aaron . go . [ scene_break ] gwen : listen , no matter what barbara says to you , you 're not allowed to feel guilty about this . you did a good thing . will : alison , gwen 's right . if anything , we should be thanking you . alison : i do n't know about that . gwen : no . imagine if we would have brought the baby home , and then bonded with her , and then found out the truth , it would have been much worse . alison : either way sounds pretty awful to me , but -- look , i 'm just going to go . please do me a favor ? just take care of each other , okay ? [ scene_break ] paul : you did an awful thing . and you know it , whether you want to say it or not . will and gwen have every right to ask you to leave their lives forever . but what you did do , you did n't do to me . so , you do n't have to ask me for forgiveness . barbara : thank you , thank you . paul : you 're welcome . i 'll go talk to will , but do n't expect a miracle . barbara : you 're the last person i thought would come to my defense . rosanna : well , sometimes people do unimaginable things to hold on to the ones they love . [ rosanna remembering ] rosanna : it 's on tape ? eli : you switched meg 's dna test results . because you want her to think her husband is the father of her baby -- but the real daddy is someone else . and i do n't need a phd to figure out that mr. other is your husband . [ scene_break ] barbara : if paul does get through to will , and will forgives me , i do n't think i 'll be able to forgive myself . thank you . i 'll let myself out . [ barbara leaves and rosanna calls eli ] rosanna : i need to see you . now . it 's time to end this . [ scene_break ] aaron : i went to see sofie earlier today at the wagon wheel . cole bailed on her . just walked off and left her . she 's pretty messed up about it . gwen : wait a minute , she 's staying there all by herself ? aaron : mm - hmm . yeah , i asked her if she wanted to stay at the farm until she can figure out what she wants to do . alison : you did ? what did she say ? aaron : she did n't want my help . she kicked me out . will : well , maybe she just needs time to process . i 'm sure she 'll be okay . aaron : yeah , i hope so . [ scene_break ] noah : uh , what 's with the face ? luke : i talked to my grandma about you staying for christmas and she did n't really go for it . noah : ah . did she say why ? luke : no , but i get the feeling that she 's not exactly comfortable us -- being together . noah : what , you mean us seeing each other ? luke : no . i mean us -- being together . noah : oh . [ scene_break ] holden : hey , mama . what 's wrong ? emma : you know , i think i just made a terrible , terrible mistake with luke . [ scene_break ] will : you thinking about sofie ? gwen : yeah . i feel really bad for her . you know , i know we were really hurt by what our mom 's did , but she must have been just completely blind - sided by all of this . will : yeah , probably . but there 's not much we can do about it now . i mean , even if we tried , i think we 're the last people she 'd accept help from . i do n't really blame her . gwen : i just -- i know what it feels like . you know , that was me a few years ago . i was so scared and alone and i had no idea what to do . i 'm so lucky i have you . [ scene_break ] emma : i just -- i feel terrible . i feel terrible about not saying yes to luke . holden : why ? emma : well , it makes me seem like i really do n't approve of the relationship . and that 's just not so . i love luke . and whoever he is , i 'm behind him 100 % . holden : nobody doubts that . emma : i mean , i might have had some unease about it to begin with , but i am not some -- i 'm not some homophobe ! i think that noah is a wonderful young man . i mean , the way he saw luke through this terrible time , he 's just been so caring and so committed . i mean , to tell you the truth , i would n't want anything less for my grandson . holden : well , of course not . emma : but the thought of them -- being in bed under my roof , it just makes me uncomfortable . now , if that makes me some kind of a prude , so be it . it is just -- it is just not how i was raised . holden : we were n't raised like that either , mom . if meg had come to you and asked if some boy could sleep over when she was luke 's age , you would 've marched him down the driveway by his ear . and you were n't so easy on me and lily when we were teenagers . emma : oh , the things you two kids put me through . the sleepless nights . oh , my lord . i do n't think i 've ever really fully recovered . holden : you know what ? it 's not all that different with luke . emma : i do n't know -- maybe i 'm just so sensitive because he 's -- because he 's gay . i think that 's pretty insulting too , to tell you the truth . holden : listen , luke has made it very clear that he did n't want to be treated differently just because he was gay . you have n't done that . so why would you start now ? [ scene_break ] meg : hey , are you all right ? you are pretty quiet , and that 's very unlike you . craig : i guess , i just need to hear you say it again . meg : we 're having a baby boy . craig : i would 've been thrilled with anything , but this is just -- i guess i just ca n't quite believe it . meg : believe it . this is your little boy in here . our son . [ scene_break ] eli : this is some place . how many people live here ? rosanna : i 'm not in the mood for small talk , eli . particularly with you . that 's all yours . provided you have what i want . eli : you mean this ? [ scene_break ] will : you know , i ca n't believe you . out of all the people , i figured you would understand how i am feeling . paul : i understand . really , will , i get it . will : and that 's why you 're here , because you get it . this is my life that she 's messed with , paul -- my marriage . and i grew up watching her do it to me , to you , jen , dad -- this sick need to control everything ! and i did n't see this coming . paul : yes , will , stop . i understand . really , really , i understand . but i was hoping that maybe you could give mom a break this time . will : why would i do that ? paul : because . look , she 's lost a lot of people that she loves . we all have . but , well , she 's terrified she 's going to lose you too . will : good . she should be . [ scene_break ] emma : no , no , please . sit down . i 'm not here to make you leave . here you go sweetheart . luke : thank you . emma : in fact , just the contrary . i would uh -- i would like to ask you to stay -- stay and have the holidays with us . noah : really ? emma : but you know , i do have certain ground rules . luke : oh , what like he has to sleep in the barn ? emma : no , no , i 'm going to put you in the barn . luke : oh , you are ? do i at least get a blanky ? emma : no , no , do n't push it . if you can stay , you 're going to have to -- well , you 're just going to have to stay on the couch in the parlor . i mean , luke 's room is going to be off - limits , at all times . noah : okay . emma : now , i want you to know that -- it 's not because you 're gay . i mean , i would be the same way with any young suitor who came calling , especially -- especially someone as handsome as you are . luke : you know , i do have to agree with her on that . about the equal treatment and about the handsome part . noah : i accept . okay , mrs. snyder . emma : okay . so thank you , thank you so much for changing -- for doing so much to help luke these last few weeks . i think all that change has been because of you . you know , it 's going to be wonderful , wonderful to have you with us on christmas . [ scene_break ] aaron : the last thing i wanted was for gwen and will to get hurt , but i think we did the right thing . alison : i know . i know , i just hate feeling like i robbed them of something really great . aaron : you did n't do anything , alison . barbara did . alison : well , that 's what gwen said . but i feel like she was just trying to be nice . aaron : you know what i hate ? seeing you take this on yourself . we got to do something about that . alison : oh , yeah ? like what ? aaron : whatever it takes to cheer you up . [ scene_break ] [ knock on door ] gwen : hi . sofie : hey . gwen : how are you doing ? sofie : i 'm fine . i do n't really feel much like company right now . it 's nothing personal , i just need to be by myself . gwen : um , wait . actually , please . i just need to say this one thing and then i 'll leave . i 'm sorry . [ scene_break ] holden : okay , here 's the last of the christmas decorations . emma : oh , these old , old things . oh , boy . oh , boy , oh , boy . boy , the mantel piece is going to be real gridlock with all these stockings toe - to - toe . so many people here . holden : it 's gon na be just like when we were growing up . emma : yes . very loud . to think , i have to put up a stocking for mr. montgomery . holden : they 're going to be here ? emma : oh , now , do n't be like that . i mean , he 's family now . meg 's married to him , and she 's gon na have his baby . holden : yeah , but -- emma : no buts . no buts . if your sister can open her heart to him , i can open my home to him . for one day . holden : fine . but the lump of coal -- is coming from me . emma : you 're terrible . you 're terrible . oh , lily 's stocking . with all this talk about who 's spending who , where , and what -- i mean , have you given any thought about lily ? [ scene_break ] meg : i 'm going to take a shower . craig : okay , while you do that , i will order some room service and have some food delivered up , okay ? meg : oh , good . 'cause your son is craving a cheeseburger . with bacon and extra cheese . craig : he has his mama 's appetite , huh ? meg : yes , he does . [ craig picks up a picture of him with bryant ] craig : bryant . [ scene_break ] paul : will , you ca n't just cut barbara out of your life . trust me , it wo n't work . it just -- it wo n't . rosanna made me realize that what barbara did , what she did -- ultimately she did out of love . will : do n't give me that ! i was on the receiving end of this , and it did not feel like love . paul : she wanted you and gwen to have a baby so badly , and she knew that you could n't adopt because of the time you spent in the hospital . and frankly , she feels responsible for that time . will : good ! she should feel responsible ! she put me there ! paul : i know . she knows that . that 's why she 's trying to make it up to you . will : well , she ca n't ! and you know what ? i get it now . i understand why you 're here , and how you think you can defend her after what she 's done -- because you 're the same way . the whole , i did it out of love excuse . it 's the same one you used to keep jennifer away from johnny . [ scene_break ] craig : i have n't seen this picture in so long . but boy , oh boy , do i remember that face . i miss you , buddy . [ meg comes out of the bathroom and sees craig talking out lout to the picture and stays by the wall ] hey , i 'm gon na be a father again . we just found out it 's gon na be a little boy , too . what do you think of that ? i want you to know that whoever this little guy turns out to be , he 'll never replace you in my heart . and if i 'm lucky , maybe he 'll teach me to forgive myself . for all the things i did to you i did n't have the chance to say i 'm sorry for . and if i am really lucky -- maybe it 'll help bring us both -- a little peace . shh . [ scene_break ] rosanna : forgive me for asking , but one can never be too careful when it comes to extortion . is that the tape from your lab ? eli : oh , yeah . you do n't look as perky as you do right now . you were kind of under the weather at the time . but it 's you , all right . switching the dna test results on meg 's baby . i took the tape from security as soon as i realized someone had been messing with my computer . rosanna : well , give me the tape . thank you . you can have your money now . [ scene_break ] emma : have you given any thought about how you 're spending the holidays ? holden : well , right now i 'm just taking it day by day . the kids have made it pretty clear that they want to spend christmas out here , so i think that 's what we 're gon na do . emma : what about lily ? she included ? you know how she loves to spend the holidays out here , you know , all the time . i know she 'd love to be with the kids . holden : well , i 'm not trying to keep lily from her kids -- it 's christmas . if she wants to be with the kids , she 's more than welcome to come here if she wants to be . emma : have you told her that ? hmm . maybe you should . it might be just what she wants to hear about now . [ scene_break ] gwen : um , i just wanted to say that -- that will and i , we did n't -- we did n't know that the baby was yours . barbara told us that it was a private adoption and we had no reason to think it was you . and if we had any clue , we would 've stopped it sooner . look , what my mom and my brother did to you is really horrible , and i ca n't imagine what it must have felt like when you found out . so , whatever it 's worth , i am sorry . that 's all i have to say . sofie : gwen , wait .

[ scene_break ] sofie : i should 've listened to you . i mean , you told me to leave cole , and you said he 'd be a terrible father . you were right . gwen : i really wish i had n't been . sofie : yeah , but what difference would it have made ? i 'd still be in the same place i am right now . pregnant , alone and wondering how i 'm going to take care of this baby . gwen : i do n't think it 's -- gon na make you feel any better , but i have been there . and i know what it feels like , so if there 's anything that i can do to help -- sofie : there is n't . gwen : okay . [ scene_break ] paul : i can see it was a mistake to come here . i think maybe you just need some more time . will : why do you feel so bad , paul ? if you did all of it out of love ? i mean , that is the ryan way , is n't it ? who cares if you lie or people get hurt ? it 's just your sister . or your son . you know , as long as you did it all out of love . right ? if you really feel that then -- i 'm sorry for you and rosanna .

[ scene_break ] sofie : i do n't need you to take care of me . aaron : but i want to . sofie : you know , it 's not about what you want . it 's about what i want for once . aaron : i 'm sorry . i did n't mean to sound like i 'm trying to control you . you 've obviously had enough of that in your life . so , listen , just tell me what it is you want me to do , and i 'll do it . sofie : i want you to go . aaron : what ? sofie : aaron , i 'm grateful to you . i am . you -- you 've figured out that cole was making a deal about my baby and you stopped him . and i ca n't thank you enough for that . but i just ca n't be around you right now . aaron : sofie , you 're not making any sense . sofie : you know what ? trusting cole was the biggest mistake of my life . but when you step in and try to fix things -- it just reminds me of how much i 've messed everything up . [ scene_break ] noah : so , when are you going to tell your parents ? luke : um , about the walking ? i was thinking around christmas -- maybe a christmas surprise , but i do n't know . noah : why not ? they 'd be so happy . luke : i do n't know . i just feel like everything 's different this year because of the divorce . i do n't even know if my mom is going to be here for christmas . noah : oh , come on , your mom is not going to miss out on christmas with you . luke : oh , she skipped out on thanksgiving to go be with -- noah : sorry . i did n't mean to bring that up . luke : no , no , it 's okay . so , what are you doing for christmas ? noah : i do n't know . i guess i 've got to check someone with school to see which dorms are going to be open through break . luke : no , do n't do that . spend christmas with me . [ scene_break ] alison : i just wanted to see how the two of you were doing . gwen : we 're okay . alison : yeah ? good . will : how about you ? alison : oh , you know -- got up , showered , had breakfast , ran into barbara . gwen : how 'd that go ? alison : pretty much as expected . she was crazed . and she said it was all my fault because i kept asking questions about the adoption . will : she always does that . she places blame , but you did n't do anything wrong . alison : it 's kind of hard not to feel guilty . i mean , you guys are n't going to get to have your baby because of me . gwen : no , alison , the reason why we 're not adopting the baby because she belongs to my brother and to sofie . not because of anything that you 've done . i mean , the truth is , is that she was never our child to begin with . [ scene_break ] noah : you really want me to spend christmas here ? luke : yes . yeah , of course i do . well , i mean , if that 's what you want too . noah : yeah , why would n't i ? luke : because -- if we spend christmas together , it 's kind of like -- i do n't want to assume anything and i do n't want you to feel any pressure , so -- noah : you would n't be . it 's not like i have any family to go home to anyway . and christmas alone , in front of the tv , eating old chinese takeout -- it 's only really glamorous in old movies , so -- you know , if i do stay here , i do have one condition . luke : oh , yeah , what 's that ? noah : yeah , you better not hog all the covers . [ scene_break ] paul : you know what i did to jennifer . you know how much i hurt her when i kept the information about johnny away from her . and you turn around , and you do the same thing ? barbara : no -- paul : what is the matter with you ? barbara : no , sofie was giving the baby up for adoption . it was her decision . i did not influence her . paul : great , so why did n't you tell will and gwen whose baby it was ? barbara : because they not would have taken the baby . is that what you want to hear ? okay , yes , i decide to keep quiet about it because i knew how much this baby could mean to them -- paul : and you think that justifies what you 've done ? will and gwen should have been able to make the decision about whether or not they wanted that baby on their own . with everything out in the open . but you deprived them of that . it 's the biggest decision of their lives and you took it out of their hands . and now you 're going to have to live with the consequences . but do n't you come here and ask for sympathy , barbara , because that is the last thing that you deserve . [ scene_break ] rosanna : paul , that 's enough . leave your mother alone . rosanna : i am saying that i agree with you . i think that what your mother did was wrong . paul : that 's right -- rosanna : but i 'm just asking you to try to understand why she did it . paul : because she 's insane . rosanna : but her heart was in the right place . all she wanted was to help will and gwen have a family . paul : instead , what 's she done is she 's torn the family apart . rosanna : you know what that 's like , do n't you ? to hurt the people that you love to want their forgiveness more than anything ? i mean , it took jennifer being on her deathbed for her to forgive you for what you did with johnny -- i mean , do you want to wait that long to forgive your mother ? barbara : paul ? do you think you can forgive me ? please ? [ scene_break ] dr. bullock : now , i have n't had the chance to go over the full results of your cvs test , but there is something that i can tell you . would you like to know the sex of the baby ? meg : i do n't know . do we ? craig : it 's up to you . meg : okay . tell us . dr. bullock : congratulations . it 's a boy . craig : it 's a boy . a son . [ scene_break ] holden : i 'm going to check on ethan . emma : hey . cold . what happened to all my cookies ? noah : that -- that would be my fault . i guess i just ca n't say no to your cooking . sorry . emma : oh , my goodness , what a smooth talker , huh , luke ? ca n't say no to my cooking , well , i guess that means you want to stay for dinner , huh ? noah : i would love that . you know , i also just have to -- take some books out to my truck , so i 'll be right back . emma : okay . luke : well , grandma thanks for inviting noah to dinner , grandma . you know , he had a really , really good time at thanksgiving . emma : oh , that 's wonderful . luke : he has n't even stopped talking about it . emma : he 's welcome here anytime -- anytime at all . luke : well , i am glad to hear that because i was kind of hoping that noah could stay with us for christmas . emma : well , you know , we kind of have a full house with jack and the children , and brad , and your dad , and your brothers and sisters , i 'm going to -- i do n't think we have a single room left . luke : well , that 's okay . noah can stay in my room . [ scene_break ] aaron : okay . so let 's say i do what you want me to do and i leave you here alone . what are you going to do ? sofie : i do n't know . i have n't thought about it . aaron : well , maybe you should think about it . sofie : maybe you should stop telling me what to do . i can think for myself , you know . aaron : i 'm just trying to show you that you have a lot of other options . sofie : yes , you 're right , i do . i can keep listening or i can ask you to leave . and i 'm asking you to leave . i mean it , aaron . go . [ scene_break ] gwen : listen , no matter what barbara says to you , you 're not allowed to feel guilty about this . you did a good thing . will : alison , gwen 's right . if anything , we should be thanking you . alison : i do n't know about that . gwen : no . imagine if we would have brought the baby home , and then bonded with her , and then found out the truth , it would have been much worse . alison : either way sounds pretty awful to me , but -- look , i 'm just going to go . please do me a favor ? just take care of each other , okay ? [ scene_break ] paul : you did an awful thing . and you know it , whether you want to say it or not . will and gwen have every right to ask you to leave their lives forever . but what you did do , you did n't do to me . so , you do n't have to ask me for forgiveness . barbara : thank you , thank you . paul : you 're welcome . i 'll go talk to will , but do n't expect a miracle . barbara : you 're the last person i thought would come to my defense . rosanna : well , sometimes people do unimaginable things to hold on to the ones they love . [ rosanna remembering ] rosanna : it 's on tape ? eli : you switched meg 's dna test results . because you want her to think her husband is the father of her baby -- but the real daddy is someone else . and i do n't need a phd to figure out that mr. other is your husband . [ scene_break ] barbara : if paul does get through to will , and will forgives me , i do n't think i 'll be able to forgive myself . thank you . i 'll let myself out . [ barbara leaves and rosanna calls eli ] rosanna : i need to see you . now . it 's time to end this . [ scene_break ] aaron : i went to see sofie earlier today at the wagon wheel . cole bailed on her . just walked off and left her . she 's pretty messed up about it . gwen : wait a minute , she 's staying there all by herself ? aaron : mm - hmm . yeah , i asked her if she wanted to stay at the farm until she can figure out what she wants to do . alison : you did ? what did she say ? aaron : she did n't want my help . she kicked me out . will : well , maybe she just needs time to process . i 'm sure she 'll be okay . aaron : yeah , i hope so . [ scene_break ] noah : uh , what 's with the face ? luke : i talked to my grandma about you staying for christmas and she did n't really go for it . noah : ah . did she say why ? luke : no , but i get the feeling that she 's not exactly comfortable us -- being together . noah : what , you mean us seeing each other ? luke : no . i mean us -- being together . noah : oh . [ scene_break ] holden : hey , mama . what 's wrong ? emma : you know , i think i just made a terrible , terrible mistake with luke . [ scene_break ] will : you thinking about sofie ? gwen : yeah . i feel really bad for her . you know , i know we were really hurt by what our mom 's did , but she must have been just completely blind - sided by all of this . will : yeah , probably . but there 's not much we can do about it now . i mean , even if we tried , i think we 're the last people she 'd accept help from . i do n't really blame her . gwen : i just -- i know what it feels like . you know , that was me a few years ago . i was so scared and alone and i had no idea what to do . i 'm so lucky i have you . [ scene_break ] emma : i just -- i feel terrible . i feel terrible about not saying yes to luke . holden : why ? emma : well , it makes me seem like i really do n't approve of the relationship . and that 's just not so . i love luke . and whoever he is , i 'm behind him 100 % . holden : nobody doubts that . emma : i mean , i might have had some unease about it to begin with , but i am not some -- i 'm not some homophobe ! i think that noah is a wonderful young man . i mean , the way he saw luke through this terrible time , he 's just been so caring and so committed . i mean , to tell you the truth , i would n't want anything less for my grandson . holden : well , of course not . emma : but the thought of them -- being in bed under my roof , it just makes me uncomfortable . now , if that makes me some kind of a prude , so be it . it is just -- it is just not how i was raised . holden : we were n't raised like that either , mom . if meg had come to you and asked if some boy could sleep over when she was luke 's age , you would 've marched him down the driveway by his ear . and you were n't so easy on me and lily when we were teenagers . emma : oh , the things you two kids put me through . the sleepless nights . oh , my lord . i do n't think i 've ever really fully recovered . holden : you know what ? it 's not all that different with luke . emma : i do n't know -- maybe i 'm just so sensitive because he 's -- because he 's gay . i think that 's pretty insulting too , to tell you the truth . holden : listen , luke has made it very clear that he did n't want to be treated differently just because he was gay . you have n't done that . so why would you start now ? [ scene_break ] meg : hey , are you all right ? you are pretty quiet , and that 's very unlike you . craig : i guess , i just need to hear you say it again . meg : we 're having a baby boy . craig : i would 've been thrilled with anything , but this is just -- i guess i just ca n't quite believe it . meg : believe it . this is your little boy in here . our son .

[ scene_break ] emma : no , no , please . sit down . i 'm not here to make you leave . here you go sweetheart . luke : thank you . emma : in fact , just the contrary . i would uh -- i would like to ask you to stay -- stay and have the holidays with us . noah : really ? emma : but you know , i do have certain ground rules . luke : oh , what like he has to sleep in the barn ? emma : no , no , i 'm going to put you in the barn . luke : oh , you are ? do i at least get a blanky ? emma : no , no , do n't push it . if you can stay , you 're going to have to -- well , you 're just going to have to stay on the couch in the parlor . i mean , luke 's room is going to be off - limits , at all times . noah : okay . emma : now , i want you to know that -- it 's not because you 're gay . i mean , i would be the same way with any young suitor who came calling , especially -- especially someone as handsome as you are . luke : you know , i do have to agree with her on that . about the equal treatment and about the handsome part . noah : i accept . okay , mrs. snyder . emma : okay . so thank you , thank you so much for changing -- for doing so much to help luke these last few weeks . i think all that change has been because of you . you know , it 's going to be wonderful , wonderful to have you with us on christmas . [ scene_break ] aaron : the last thing i wanted was for gwen and will to get hurt , but i think we did the right thing . alison : i know . i know , i just hate feeling like i robbed them of something really great . aaron : you did n't do anything , alison . barbara did . alison : well , that 's what gwen said . but i feel like she was just trying to be nice . aaron : you know what i hate ? seeing you take this on yourself . we got to do something about that . alison : oh , yeah ? like what ? aaron : whatever it takes to cheer you up . [ scene_break ] [ knock on door ] gwen : hi . sofie : hey . gwen : how are you doing ? sofie : i 'm fine . i do n't really feel much like company right now . it 's nothing personal , i just need to be by myself . gwen : um , wait . actually , please . i just need to say this one thing and then i 'll leave . i 'm sorry .

[ scene_break ] tek : hey . lexie : tek , you should n't have followed me out here . tek : i just want to make sure you 're all right . lexie : how can i be all right ? but i 'll be much better once i tell everyone exactly what sami did to keep austin and carrie apart . tek : there 's no time like the present . they 're all here . lexie : no , now 's not a good time . jack might need me . he does n't look well , you know ? his condition is still terminal . tek : well , just know that i spoke to sami . she knows it 's coming . i want to be there . lexie : yeah . abe : well ... you two ca n't stay away from each other , can you ? not even in the house of god .

[ scene_break ] abby : no , daddy , you 're confused . you do n't know what you 're saying . of course mom belongs with you . jack : no . no , abigail . this is -- this is why i stayed away so that your mother and frankie would get married and -- so that you all could start as a new family again -- all of you as a family . i 'm still gon na die . the doctor said i just ha -- it 's just a couple of days . that 's all i 've got . abby : daddy , please . jo : jack . jack : i -- i just came back to say goodbye to the people that i love . [ scene_break ] kayla : jack 's alive ? nick : well , not for long . you know , he 's still terminal . kayla : why did n't he come home sooner ? why did n't he let jennifer know ? nick : the doctor at the hospice and i tried everything to convince him to contact his family . he was stubborn . he said everybody he loved thought he was dead and already mourned him once . he would n't put them through watching him die a slow , painful death and mourn him all over again . kayla : well , then , what changed his mind ? nick : it 's when he saw me . then the dna test . he had this idea that i should come here and reconnect with the family , you know ? the brady 's ... then eventually with you , but he said you were living somewhere in l.a . kayla : i came home for a visit . nick : well , you see , it was the last thing i expected . i 'm sorry . you know , i did this for jack . i told him i would n't come here unless he came with me . kayla : so you did n't want to come back ? nick : jack showed me a picture of you . and i said , `` what a beautiful woman . `` but that was it . i do n't know you . i do n't know any of you . kayla : i can not believe this . nick : so , uh ... these brady 's , they 're , um , they 're your family ? kayla : and they love you . and i love you . i know this sounds trite , but when you died , a huge part of me died , too . and i have never ... been able to move on . i could never let go . i could never love anybody else . nick : it 's been so many years . kayla : i know , i know , i know . it 's insane . i know it 's crazy . i kept having this dream that someday you would come back , and here you are . it 's crazy . and now jack 's alive , and ... oh , god . and jennifer married frankie . nick : well , you know , that might not be an issue because jack 's not doing so well . that 's one of the reasons i was able to convince him to come back ... so he could say goodbye to his family . kayla : it 's not fair . it 's just not fair ... for him to come back and then for her to lose him again . you know what ? i 'm not gon na do that with you . i 'm not gon na do that with you . i 'm not gon na let you go . i 'm not gon na let you go anywhere . i 'm not gon na lose you . i 'm not . nick : i 'm sorry . this is not gon na work . kayla : [ sobbing ] [ scene_break ] sami : austin , i 'm upset because lexie has ruined her marriage to a wonderful and kind man . i care about abe . austin : i think it 's more than that . i mean , lucas kept saying that you were gon na destroy the wedding today , you know , if you showed up , but , of course , you had nothing to do with what happened today . but , you know , you 're feeling for frankie and jennifer . you 've been here more than once . lucas : we 're all probably having traumatic flashbacks to bad experiences at the altar . austin : lucas , will you shut up ? just for once , will you just please shut up ? that 's not all she 's upset about . lucas : are you sure ? austin : she 's worried about theo . she said so herself . sami : yeah , i did . austin : look , and it makes perfect sense . you were about his age when your mother was abducted by stefano dimera . and you hate seeing a family being torn apart . i mean , it 's been a long time , but you are still not over your parents ' divorce , so you are totally identifying with jennifer and theo . sami : you are so right , austin . i did n't even know why i was so upset about this myself , and [ sighs ] i 'm so glad you know me so well . [ scene_break ] shawn d. : you 're not trying to say that we belong together , 'cause we 've been through that . belle : no , no , no . i was talking about your parents and about mine . you know , they 've been through so much . but in the end , my parents ' love -- it helped them overcome everything and it brought them back together . shawn d. : yeah , it did . belle : yeah , so that 's what i meant when i said that if two people really love each other , then nothing should keep them apart . because that 's the kind of love that i want to believe in .

[ scene_break ] ryan 's voice : love -- that the key to getting greenlee to talk . she wants me so bad -- well , then , i 'll just give her what she wants . i will tell her that i still love her , and then i will get her to say the words `` i did this to spike . `` even if she does admit that she hurt spike -- i mean , what 's the difference ? what 'll it change ? nothing ! not a damn thing .

adam : there was no plan . you were the only one i could come to , and i hate doing this ! what was i supposed to do ? go to victor ? go to chelsea ? tell the whole world that i 'm back ? you were the only one . i trusted you . i trusted you with my son 's life , and i trusted you with my life in coming here . but apparently , i overestimated our friendship . so if i ca n't count on you to protect me , then i have to count on you to protect billy . jack : if things happened as you say . adam : i got a scar to prove it ! jack : any judge would understand the circumstances -- an aggrieved father , temporary insanity . adam : is that what you 're gon na say ? he showed up to my house with a gun . he dragged me to the woods . he waved that gun in my face , jack , forced me to confess , and then when he got all the information that he wanted , he told me to drive to a location , he shot me in the car on the way there . it was premeditated . he wanted to make me pay . jack : i 'm not gon na just take your word for it . adam : well , why do n't you ask him , then , huh ? why do n't you ask your brother what went down that night ? why did he make it home safe and sound and i did n't ? what happened ? jack : you took his daughter , adam , and now you 're threatening to put him in prison ? this is the kind of man you are now ? adam : desperate man . that 's what i am now . i was trapped in a hospital bed , jack , covered in bandages . i was wrapped up like a mummy in a life that was n't even mine . i just want to come back . i want a piece of my life back . this way , i can live my life as something other than victor newman 's son . do you have any idea what a chance like that means to me ? and i would think that , of all people , you would want that for me . jack ... jack : adam , you 're dead . chelsea 's moved on . she 's with billy . she loves him . do you realize what you 're asking me ? you do n't just want your freedom . you want the woman billy cares about ! how am i supposed to do that to my brother ? adam : billy has his freedom , which is more than he 'll have in prison . he does n't need chelsea . jack : how dare you decide what my brother does and does n't need . adam : oh , billy wants victoria . i 've been gone for a year , jack , and even i know that . and chelsea wants me . jack : you 're dead . she has moved on . and how do you know how they are together ? how long have you been lurking in the shadows ? adam : long enough to know that billy 's trying to replace his son and his wife with my son and my wife . jack : after what you put him through , you have no right to be jealous . adam : chelsea loves me , jack . and that 's not going anywhere . and , sure , maybe she 's okay with billy right now . he keeps her from being lonely , right ? but i 'm not out of her mind , not for one second . and victoria 's not out of billy 's addled brain , either . we both know that . let him go back to his wife and fix it , the relationship he 's supposed to be in . jack : you have no choice . you 're dead , adam . you do n't exist . you do n't even have a vote . adam : i do have the vote ! i am the vote , and i just told you ! jack : oh , you 're gon na blackmail me . adam : jack , i need chelsea like i ca n't even explain to you , and , yeah , i 'm gon na do whatever it takes to get her back -- whatever it takes . the same thing you 'd do for phyllis . jack : phyllis is innocent . you 're not . adam : neither is billy . give me my freedom . let billy keep his . let me be with chelsea . my one chance . nick : yeah , i can see that look in your eye . sage : what 're you talking about ? nick : it was all that newman - chancellor talk . you figured it out , who my dad is . he 's victor newman . it can be a curse and a blessing . sage : i was n't thinking that . nick : but you 've heard of him . sage : yeah . of course . i do n't live under a rock . nick : [ chuckles ] sage : i mean , i did save you in the woods , so ... nick : well , i just want you to know , i am nothing like him , so saving me was not a bad idea . sage : yeah , i do n't think that , either . and just so you know , if your dad was stuck in the bear trap , i probably would 've saved him , too . i mean , i know he gets bad press , but he seems like a decent guy . nick : mm . i guess you could assume that . [ chuckles ] sage : thanks again . i got to go up , check the room . nick : well , maybe your buddy already went to see his grandmother . sage : no , he would never go without me . nick : but he did n't want to go with you , so it seems to me this means a lot more to you than it does to him . devon : gwen has her own life . she has friends and family . i 'm not even sure if she 's gon na be in town , so ... lily : well , why do n't you just say that ? devon : why could n't you just let it go to begin with ? lily : you know , for somebody who 's so blissfully happy with this new girlfriend , you sure are crabby all the time . devon : i 'm not crabby . lily : yes , you are . devon : you 're in love with cane . is it sunshine and roses every day for you ? lily : all i 'm saying is that i 'm worried about dad . that 's it . devon : yes , i 'm worried about him , too . i know what i 'm doing . i know that i 'm being selfish . i get it . lily : being happy is n't being selfish . devon : you have no idea . neil : what exactly is it that you want with my wife ? phyllis : i need some powers of creative thinking and deception . hilary : deception ? phyllis : i want to surprise jack with something big and romantic , and you are just the person -- keeper of the gate , in charge of his schedule . hilary : yes , of course . i would love to help . phyllis : good . maybe i can get a printout so i can know how and when i can make this happen . unless this is like a really bad time . neil : you 're asking if it 's a bad time ? phyllis : only to be polite , neil . you know i really do n't mean it . neil : that 's funny . i thought you were going soft on me . hilary : i could access jack 's schedule remotely . i 'll pull it up for you . phyllis : oh , good . thank you , thank you , thank you . you are a lifesaver , and that is sincere . hilary : i will be right back . neil : thanks , honey . phyllis : i like her . she 's really great , neil . but i need more help than she can give . and i need it from you . adam : i know i 've wasted a lot of time in my life . i was laying in that hospital bed , and i was thinking of the hours that i wasted thinking about plots and schemes and just ... stupid things that did n't matter , mostly about victor . and i 'd give anything to have that time back with chelsea . but as bad as that sounds , you know billy is worse , jack . he 's wasting precious seconds right now ... with chelsea , and the sooner you can get him away from her -- jack : billy and victoria are apart for a reason . their marriage did n't work any longer . victoria 's with someone else . he ca n't just slip back into her life like nothing happened . adam : yeah , well , he can try . and that 's the beauty of it . he can try , and it 'll work , jack , because they 're meant to be together , just like chelsea and i are meant to be together . jack : what about chelsea ? chelsea is happy now -- adam : she 's not happy ! jack , she -- she gets through the day ! she 's not happy ! jack : you 're wrong . adam : no , i know her . i know her like nobody else does . and she knows me like nobody else does . jack : adam , you 're dead . you 're gone . she 's wept for you , she 's grieved for you , she 's moved on . and if you think you can woo her as gabriel , it 's not gon na happen . adam : of course it 'll happen . it 'll work , jack . do you think she was with me because of my name , because of my bank account ? no . no , those things that brought us together and kept us together , everything that made us so wonderful together , they 're still there , all of those things . we 're the same people . it 's gon na bring us back together . it will . jack : and you 're willing to destroy all these lives for some delusion . adam : delusion ? what are you talking about , delusion ? you loved phyllis before she left , right ? and when she left , did you stop loving her ? no . you did n't , and now she 's back , and what happened ? you 're back together , and you 're still in love with her , right ? jack : if phyllis had not come back , i would be with someone else , and i would be happy . not the same kind of happy , no , but i 'd have moved on . adam : you can say that in theory . jack : no , i can say that in fact -- that 's what happened . i moved on . there was someone else . adam : where is she now ? oh , you -- you chose phyllis , right ? except it was n't really a choice at all , was it ? hmm ? no , because you two were meant to be together . that 's why . and the moment that woman walked through that door , it was over , right ? some loves are meant to last , jack . and some ... just are n't . give billy that chance . keep him out of prison . jack : oh , we 're back to the blackmail . adam : you think this is what i wanted ? i did n't want to blackmail you . i came here as a friend . i came here 'cause i needed a friend . i did n't have to tell you anything , did i ? right ? i could 've just introduced myself as gabriel , done some business with you , built up your trust , but i did n't . i told you everything 'cause i wanted you to know the truth , jack . and what else ? jack , i wanted you to be happy that i was back . jack : okay . i 'll help you -- for billy 's sake . adam : that 's a good choice . jack : under one condition . you look me in the eye and you swear to me the old adam is dead -- all the old grudges , all the dissatisfaction , all the excuses , all the anger -- gone ! if you really feel remorse about delia 's death -- adam : of course i do , jack . jack : then be better . do better . be the man adam newman never had a chance to be . adam : i swear ... to you , jack . i swear . billy : you okay ? victoria : yeah . katie and johnny are both napping . i should 've called you so we could push back your visit , but i got wrapped up in all of this . billy : well , that is something to get wrapped up in . victoria : could you please sit down and help me here ? billy : me ? the , uh , breaker of all things large and small ? victoria : i know you 're not a carpenter , but you know how to assemble , do n't you ? billy : kind of . victoria : i lost the instructions . i ca n't find them anywhere . billy : it 's probably better that way . victoria : okay . so , i set out all the pieces , right ? everything 's out . billy : ah , yes . the nice and orderly approach . i prefer to use instinct and cunning . victoria : yeah . and look at how far that 's gotten you . billy : [ chuckles ] you know , christmas is always fun and wrapping paper , and then afterwards , it 's , uh ... `` slide this slot ' a ' into part ' b , ' subset ' d. ' `` [ chuckles ] victoria : it was a nice christmas . billy : yeah , it was . reed had a blast . he 's become , like , the old man of the family . he 's got himself a passel of brothers and sisters between us , j.t . and mac . victoria : yeah , i know . i think he likes having a big family , you know ? especially around the holidays . billy : yeah . yeah . turns out , i like it , too . victoria : oh , good . billy : so , uh ... what are you guys doing for new year 's ? you and stitch gon na hit the club ? victoria : really have n't gotten that far yet . what about you and chelsea ? billy : i do n't know . we were kicking around some ideas , but then , uh ... we got distracted from the issue . victoria : yeah ? by what ? ah . our wedding anniversary . phyllis : when i went down for my `` nap , `` chelsea lawson was adam 's better half , so she was not the fashion - design star that she is today . so you know what ? i 'm a little behind the curve . but if you fill me in , you 're gon na help me dazzle them all . neil : okay . i 'm hearing a lot of bells and whistles , i 'm seeing this pitch in my head , but i 'm thinking , really , that you can do this all on your own . phyllis : oh , i 'm sorry . did you think i was being nice ? neil : wow . god forbid that phyllis ever be nice . phyllis : okay . you want me to beg a little harder . i can do that . neil : wait a minute . hold on , hold on . phyllis , you -- you do n't need me . phyllis : the hell i do n't . believe me . i would tell you if i did n't . neil , i ca n't show weakness , or we 're back in victim town . neil : oh , yeah , i 've driven by there once or twice . phyllis : yes , it 's awful . people acting like you need help . the only problem is , in this case , i actually do need help -- yours . so , if you 're not coming back to jabot , at least help make me look good . neil : [ laughs ] oh , lord . not easy transitioning back to your old life , or what is it ? your new -- new old life ? phyllis : jack and i are putting the past in the past . neil : 'cause it 's that easy . yeah , i hear you . um , i 'm hearing -- i 'm hearing a load of bull here , though , too . but i hear you -- past is in the past . you 've got to be a little angry . phyllis : i 'm fine . neil : no , you 're -- you 're pissed . phyllis : pissed is fine for me . neil : okay , phyllis , good . be angry . do n't let it slow you down . do n't let it get in your way . keep moving forward . fight for what you belie -- hell , do n't just fight -- get it . phyllis : you did it , did n't you ? you went to that doctor who might help you see . lily : you do n't have to feel guilty about dad . devon : well , i do . lily : why ? what do you think you 've done ? devon : i 'm just -- i 'm not the son that he needs me to be . lily : that is so not true . he loves you . lily : i know he loves me , but ... what am i doing for him in return ? i did n't even know he was tempted to drink . you figured that out , you saw it . i 've been too caught up in my own mess . lily : is that what this is about ? you feel like you ca n't bring gwen because every moment has to be about dad ? devon : no , it 's not about gwen . lily : look , dad is proud , and he 's private , but his first instinct will always be to protect us . devon : and who 's protecting dad ? lily : hilary . he trusts her . she provides him with love and support , and i know for a fact that if he did n't have hilary , he would n't have just thought about drinking . sage : my friend -- i really ca n't explain him . you know ? nick : okay . well , good luck . i hope everything is n't as bad as it sounds . sage : thank you . nick : bingo . adam : beg your pardon ? nick : i know you . adam : i - i do n't think so . i think you probably have me confused with some -- nick : dude , it 's nick newman . i was your big brother at mount bell academy . you 're gabriel bingham -- bingo , the binger . what 's up ? adam : yeah , okay . you know what ? it is . those -- those years , just -- for me , they 're a ... nick : yeah , yeah , it was a blur , i know . adam : ... a fog . nick : i was a couple years ahead of you . they assigned you to me . i had to kind of look out for you , show you the ropes . adam : yet i survived anyway , huh ? nick : [ laughing ] yeah . do you live in genoa city now ? 'cause i get the feeling maybe i 've seen you around . adam : no , just visiting . sage : well , he 's not here . i do n't ... nick : do you two know each other ? billy : we had some good times . you have to give us that . victoria : yeah . fishing you out of the gutter on new year 's eve . billy : yeah . getting married once on the beach in jamaica . victoria : getting arrested on one of our other wedding days . [ both laugh ] billy : it has made for some very interesting wedding pictures . victoria : and do n't forget the tattoos . billy : yeah , yeah , that was brilliant . victoria : yeah . you know , i keep meaning to have mine removed . billy : why have n't you ? victoria : i do n't know . my ob did n't approve it while i was pregnant , and now it 's just one of those things i ca n't seem to find time for . go figure . billy : yeah . victoria : what about you ? billy : i do n't know . i just ... have n't gotten around to it , i guess . victoria : what were we thinking , anyway ? billy : i think what we were thinking is , that if we made the rings permanent ... we would be , too . [ baby crying ] stitch : hey , look , i 'm sorry . i should 've checked in on you on christmas . kelly : no , no , no , no . you did the right thing . you know , you and victoria should spend every moment that you can together . you 've lost so much time , you deserve this . stitch : what about what you deserve ? like i told you before , you 're tough , kel . just take some time . do whatever you have to to come out on the other side . kelly : you 're a good brother , ben . glad you 're mine . stitch : hey . chelsea : progress . you did n't step on them . stitch : i owe you -- eh , for getting jeffrey to drop his lawsuit against memorial . chelsea : oh , pfft ! my father is easily influenced . stitch : yeah ? how much did it cost you ? oh , no . it did n't cost me anything . jeffrey 's not like that . he just felt -- okay , fine . it cost me a lot . but it all worked out in the end . stitch : and , uh , i know you did n't do it just for me , but thanks . chelsea : if someone had told me back when you were helping dylan paint his loft that we would end up here ... stitch : what , you with billy and me with victoria ? chelsea : no . i mean knowing we 're both such cons . phyllis : you already told me that you were on the hunt for some vision help . neil : yeah , i know . i already did tell you that . i enrolled in an experimental program , yes . phyllis : that 's great ! neil : okay , shh , shh , shh ! please , please ... phyllis : oh . i 'm sorry . neil : something else might be on the horizon . phyllis : all right . like what ? tell me . neil : on christmas eve ... my eyes -- i -- i saw light and shadow . phyllis : you saw ? neil : okay , phyllis , i - i thought you had some self - control . phyllis : you know i do n't have self - control ! neil : stop . shh . phyllis : this is -- this is kind of big , neil . this is kind of huge . you should not -- you have to tell your wife ! neil : no , no , no , no , no . no , i do n't have to tell her . i 'm gon na let this whole thing play out for a bit , you know ? i do n't want to get her hopes up yet . phyllis : i can understand that . sort of . is this ... the program , or is your vision coming back on its own ? neil : maybe it 's because i do n't want to get my own hopes up . phyllis : maybe hope is exactly the thing that got things rolling . you ever think about that ? neil : yes , i have . i do have hope . i ca n't fight it . and i ca n't wait ... for that moment ... to see my wife 's beautiful face again . phyllis : you 're back . hilary : uh , yeah , i printed out jack 's schedule for you . did you two need some more time to talk ? phyllis : i came to hit neil up for some advice about running jabot 's fashion division , but you did not hear me say that . neil : her exact words were -- what was it ? -- `` make me look good . `` that 's right . phyllis : i have no idea what you 're talking about . neil : of course not . hilary : well , you do n't have to worry . neil is very discreet . phyllis : well , i am counting on that . and thank you so much for this and also for your complete discretion . i would never get in the way of a big , romantic surprise . those moments are just way too important . phyllis : spoken like a woman in love . thank you both very much . neil : all right , keep me posted . phyllis : hey , you too . neil : thanks . hey , baby , she 's right , you know ? you do sound like a woman in love to these highly trained , perceptive ears . hilary : well , if you say i am ... neil : yeah , i do say . and i have -- i have something else to say to you . hilary : what 's that ? neil : all right , listen to me . i have a promise for you that next year , it 's not gon na be anything like this year . hilary : um ... but , neil , you know ... this life , it 's a good life . is n't it ? neil : of course it is . of course . but we can make it better . hilary : how ? neil : okay . remember , it was recently that you suggested that we , uh -- that we grow this family , right ? hilary : a baby ? neil : our baby . i know it sounds crazy , but , you know , you got to dare to dream in life . hilary : yeah . neil : so , why do n't we just see where fate ... goes with this ? hilary : uh ... what do you mean ? neil : okay . your birth - control pills . why do n't we get rid of those ? hilary : now ? neil : well , i mean , we can talk this all out . you go over the pros and the cons , the logistics ... hilary : yeah , yeah , okay . neil : just tell me how you feel about this . hilary : i ... i ... there 's no guarantee ... neil : no , of course there 's no guarantees , but , you know , we can always try . a baby ... would n't that be an incredible bonus to our relationship ? start by ... throwing away ... throwing away those pills . i guess that 's a yes . hilary : you 're smiling . neil : yes . yes , i am . devon : hey , so , gwen , i was hoping that you would be free this new year 's eve , 'cause we 're having a party here at the club , and i 'd really love if you 'd be able to make it . right . i 'm looking forward to seeing you , too . all right . let 's talk later . all right , bye . sage : yes , he and i , we know each other . nick : oh , so gabriel 's the friend you 've been looking for ? sage : that 's right . adam : yeah . sorry i 'm late . actually , i had some business to take care of with grandmother , so ... nick : oh , man , i 'm so sorry . all this boarding - school talk , and you 're worried about your grandmother . adam : so she told you about the , uh ... anyway , it 's , uh ... we should probably -- we should probably get back . sage : yeah . nick : oh , hey , uh , here . here 's my card . things ever settle down for you , give me a call , dude . i 'd love to catch up . adam : yeah ? nick : yeah . adam : okay . nick : all right , see ya , bingo . adam : yeah , have n't heard that in a while . nick : bye , sage . sage : [ chuckles ] nice of you to come back . phyllis : hi . friend or foe ? jack : sorry ? phyllis : this bingham guy -- friend or foe , or have n't you decided ? jack : he 's an old business associate . phyllis : thinking about calling him ? jack : no , he called me . phyllis : uh - huh . to get back in business ? jack : he wants to do a deal . phyllis : but what about you ? do you want the deal ? jack : i already agreed , but ... phyllis : but you 're ambivalent . jack : wary . phyllis : that 's not like you . you go with your gut . if you 're not sure about this guy , then ... jack : i just do n't know . phyllis : something is n't right . who is this guy ? what kind of head games did he play to get a yes out of you ? adam : apparently your buddy nick went to boarding school with gabriel . sage : how was i supposed to know that ? it 's not like i could tag along with him in his private boys school . adam : but that 's my point , sage -- he 's gon na know things about me that you ca n't possibly clue me in on . sage : well , look through the yearbook . right now , we have to get back to constance . she 's asking for you . adam : for me ? sage : yes . adam : no , i 'm not doing that right now . sage : you want nick to come back and see you ? i did n't think so . stop complaining . let 's go . nick : ah , there you go . bingo . bingham changed a bit . sage : come on ! [ grunting ] nick : [ groaning ] you ... it was you . why 'd you take off ? chelsea : you told this lie at 16 . it changed your whole life . i 'm sure there were a million chances you could 've told the truth . it would 've made your life easier , but you never caved . that 's the long con . it 's exhausting , is n't it ? stitch : [ chuckles ] you have no idea . chelsea : oh , yeah . kind of do . stitch : to finally have let that go is just ... the relief is huge . chelsea : mm - hmm . to be with somebody who really knows you -- the real you -- changes everything . that 's how i feel about billy . i mean , he was on the receiving end of a lot of my lies -- some of my worst -- but now he loves me -- all of me . and now victoria has a chance to love all of you . stitch : we both got lucky -- me with victoria , you with billy . and now we 're gon na be in each other 's lives , no matter what . so , i guess we 'd better start getting along , huh ? chelsea : well , no reason not to . we both got what we wanted . so , i guess now my point is , let 's not screw it up . stitch : no way in hell . billy : katie can take a bottle in record time . she 's gon na outgrow this thing before we can even get it built . victoria : oh , really ? victoria : well , i happen to think you 're making yourself sound inept so you do n't have to help me . but it 's too bad . i 'm not buying it . billy : [ laughs ] what 's there to buy ? did you see the bookshelf that me and dee built ? it was a disaster . victoria : that was beautiful . billy : [ sighs ] we made it so far , vick . you know , lucy , johnny , your father ... it was us against the world , and we conquered it . and then we lost dee , and ... why could n't we survive that ? lily : so these are the new year 's eve reservations . kelly : okay , great . lily : yeah . kelly : phyllis and jack are coming ? what is wrong with those people ? lily : well , it is kind of a local ritual . kelly : no , it 's not . it is an insult . it is a slap in the face . it is `` kelly is so insignificant that we can just toast the new year in front of her . `` lily : you know what ? i would completely understand if you want the night off ? kelly : what ? no . no , no , no . i did n't say that . lily : jack hurt you , okay ? it 's understandable that you need time to heal . this is the benefit of working with somebody who actually cares about you . kelly : i 'm sorry . i - i should n't have overreacted like that . it was just ... just shock , okay ? thank you for being a friend . lily : of course . kelly : i can do my job and smile , and i 'll just have a big drink when it 's over . lily : that 's a great plan . kelly : i promise you , this will be the most perfect evening of the year . jack : no . no more talk about deals or business . we 're gon na focus on celebrating . phyllis : okay . you know what ? i like it . i was out cold for a year , so i say we celebrate for a year . jack : good . let 's start ... let 's start with saying goodbye to the last day in 2014 . i thought we could take the jet and chase new year 's from nova scotia to l.a . phyllis : or ... we can go old school and keep it local and go to the athletic club . i already made reservations . jack : whatever happened to staying away from kelly ? phyllis : you know what ? it is not about her . this is my home , jack . it 's my town , my friends , my family , and i want to bask in genoa city and soak it up with my fiancé . jack : at the athletic club . phyllis : yeah , where people we love and know will be celebrating and some people we do n't love . so we deal with it like reasonable adults , and i assume you can trust me to do that , right ? jack : mm ... phyllis : oh , seriously ? come on ! jack : wait , wait . come here . phyllis : what ? jack : of course , i can trust you . i love you . and , yes , it will be a wonderful night . [ next_on ] kelly : what 's the matter , jack ? does being alone with me make you uncomfortable ? adam : you looking for someone ?
devon feels guilty about his affair with hilary when lily tells him she thinks hilary is the only person keeping neil from drinking to deal with his blindness . when devon asks gwen to be his date for new year 's eve , she is thrilled to accept . neil confides in phyllis that he saw light and shadow christmas eve , but he asks her to keep it a secret until he can talk to his doctors to ensure that it wo n't give hilary false hope . hilary reluctantly agrees to stop taking her birth control pills , because neil wants to have a baby .

stitch : ooh . uh ... crazy . kelly : oh , you mean with that power outage . that was so strange . stitch : yeah , it was , but , i mean , crazy good . victoria called jenna . yeah , she told her everything about me not being responsible for what happened . victoria got through to jenna when i could n't . kelly : so she was able to undo the damage that i caused . that 's so great . what a gift . stitch : i was the one keeping the secret , kelly . i just have to make sure everyone knows the truth . kelly : well , that 's not easy with mom having taken off , thinking only of herself . stitch : yeah . you know , i did n't get to the best part of christmas . i got to speak with max . kelly : oh , that 's so great . you got to hear your son 's voice on such a special day . stitch : i know how lucky i am , kelly . kelly : i 'm not gon na make this about me . stitch : you can talk about you . look , how was your christmas ? kelly : oh . i have n't really done that sort of thing since sam died . i had drinks with some friends here . you know , other single people , dinner . it was quiet . stitch : was n't the christmas you expected , was it ? kelly : no . this was supposed to be the year that i stopped dreading christmas . and it was n't . but it 's over , and now i just have to get through new year 's . victoria : seriously , i thought he was making you up . sage : i 'm very real . same as the bear trap . victoria : right . well , i know that he wanted to thank you for calling the emts , and i wanted to thank you for helping my brother . sage : oh , no , it was just right place , right time . that 's it . victoria : well , you saved him . i have no idea what he was doing walking around in the dark or who on earth would set an illegal bear trap . nick : as opposed to the legal bear traps ? sage : [ chuckles ] i 'm just happy to help . uh , i really should be going . i have to find my friend , so -- [ ringtone plays ] victoria : the lord of the universe sure does love to text . nick : vick is our father 's right hand at newman - chancellor now and no doubt training my niece to join the corporate minions . victoria : yes , just two more wheels in the cog machine -- that 's katie and me . it was nice meeting you . sage : nice to meet you , too . victoria : nice almost spending time with you . nick : do n't let him brainwash you , katie ! all right . sorry for the delay . why do n't you go up and check on your friend . i 'll wait down here for you . sage : oh , no , no . i 'm good . i can take care of myself , but thank you so much . nick : wait . i know what 's going on here . chelsea : you gon na try to get fresh with me again out here , hmm ? billy : i am just going to count the many ways that we can spend new year 's eve together . chase the chill away , steam up the windows . chelsea : uh , yeah , it 's , uh , still there . tends to happen with tattoos . billy : i have got to do something about this thing . chelsea : but that look on your face -- i mean , it 's not like it 's new . billy : it 's today . wedding anniversary . chelsea : oh . so , is that what the whole public make - out session was for ? you 're trying to prove something ? billy : no , no , no . well , i do n't think so . chelsea : i mean , it 's not like i 'm complaining . i -- i like it , always . i just -- i remember now that it was new year 's eve when victor sent me to you -- to break up you and victoria with the news that i was pregnant . billy : hey . he 's a hell of a kid , that johnny abbott . chelsea : see , that 's just it . when you see johnny , all you see is your son . you do n't -- you do n't think about how it happened . billy : i told you , i have forgiven you for all of that . i mean , that was -- that was a different time . and if we spent our lives living in the mistakes that we made -- chelsea : what kind of mistakes are we talking about ? billy : does n't matter . it 's almost new year 's . it 's slate - wiping time . and you brought that sketchbook for a reason , so get to work . quit trying to make out with me . chelsea : ha ha ! oh , that was on me ? billy : yeah . chelsea : sure . nice try . billy : i 'll see you soon . chelsea : okay . adam : you tell anyone i 'm alive and billy 's going to prison for attempted murder . jack : you son of a -- that was your plan -- to blackmail me ? adam : there was no plan . you were the only one i could come to , and i hate doing this ! what was i supposed to do ? go to victor ? go to chelsea ? tell the whole world that i 'm back ? you were the only one . i trusted you . i trusted you with my son 's life , and i trusted you with my life in coming here . but apparently , i overestimated our friendship . so if i ca n't count on you to protect me , then i have to count on you to protect billy . jack : if things happened as you say . adam : i got a scar to prove it ! jack : any judge would understand the circumstances -- an aggrieved father , temporary insanity . adam : is that what you 're gon na say ? he showed up to my house with a gun . he dragged me to the woods . he waved that gun in my face , jack , forced me to confess , and then when he got all the information that he wanted , he told me to drive to a location , he shot me in the car on the way there . it was premeditated . he wanted to make me pay . jack : i 'm not gon na just take your word for it . adam : well , why do n't you ask him , then , huh ? why do n't you ask your brother what went down that night ? why did he make it home safe and sound and i did n't ? what happened ? jack : you took his daughter , adam , and now you 're threatening to put him in prison ? this is the kind of man you are now ? adam : desperate man . that 's what i am now . i was trapped in a hospital bed , jack , covered in bandages . i was wrapped up like a mummy in a life that was n't even mine . i just want to come back . i want a piece of my life back . this way , i can live my life as something other than victor newman 's son . do you have any idea what a chance like that means to me ? and i would think that , of all people , you would want that for me . jack ... jack : adam , you 're dead . chelsea 's moved on . she 's with billy . she loves him . do you realize what you 're asking me ? you do n't just want your freedom . you want the woman billy cares about ! how am i supposed to do that to my brother ? adam : billy has his freedom , which is more than he 'll have in prison . he does n't need chelsea . jack : how dare you decide what my brother does and does n't need . adam : oh , billy wants victoria . i 've been gone for a year , jack , and even i know that . and chelsea wants me . jack : you 're dead . she has moved on . and how do you know how they are together ? how long have you been lurking in the shadows ? adam : long enough to know that billy 's trying to replace his son and his wife with my son and my wife . jack : after what you put him through , you have no right to be jealous . adam : chelsea loves me , jack . and that 's not going anywhere . and , sure , maybe she 's okay with billy right now . he keeps her from being lonely , right ? but i 'm not out of her mind , not for one second . and victoria 's not out of billy 's addled brain , either . we both know that . let him go back to his wife and fix it , the relationship he 's supposed to be in . jack : you have no choice . you 're dead , adam . you do n't exist . you do n't even have a vote . adam : i do have the vote ! i am the vote , and i just told you ! jack : oh , you 're gon na blackmail me . adam : jack , i need chelsea like i ca n't even explain to you , and , yeah , i 'm gon na do whatever it takes to get her back -- whatever it takes . the same thing you 'd do for phyllis . jack : phyllis is innocent . you 're not . adam : neither is billy . give me my freedom . let billy keep his . let me be with chelsea . my one chance . nick : yeah , i can see that look in your eye . sage : what 're you talking about ? nick : it was all that newman - chancellor talk . you figured it out , who my dad is . he 's victor newman . it can be a curse and a blessing . sage : i was n't thinking that . nick : but you 've heard of him . sage : yeah . of course . i do n't live under a rock . nick : [ chuckles ] sage : i mean , i did save you in the woods , so ... nick : well , i just want you to know , i am nothing like him , so saving me was not a bad idea . sage : yeah , i do n't think that , either . and just so you know , if your dad was stuck in the bear trap , i probably would 've saved him , too . i mean , i know he gets bad press , but he seems like a decent guy . nick : mm . i guess you could assume that . [ chuckles ] sage : thanks again . i got to go up , check the room . nick : well , maybe your buddy already went to see his grandmother . sage : no , he would never go without me . nick : but he did n't want to go with you , so it seems to me this means a lot more to you than it does to him . devon : gwen has her own life . she has friends and family . i 'm not even sure if she 's gon na be in town , so ... lily : well , why do n't you just say that ? devon : why could n't you just let it go to begin with ? lily : you know , for somebody who 's so blissfully happy with this new girlfriend , you sure are crabby all the time . devon : i 'm not crabby . lily : yes , you are . devon : you 're in love with cane . is it sunshine and roses every day for you ? lily : all i 'm saying is that i 'm worried about dad . that 's it . devon : yes , i 'm worried about him , too . i know what i 'm doing . i know that i 'm being selfish . i get it . lily : being happy is n't being selfish . devon : you have no idea . neil : what exactly is it that you want with my wife ? phyllis : i need some powers of creative thinking and deception . hilary : deception ? phyllis : i want to surprise jack with something big and romantic , and you are just the person -- keeper of the gate , in charge of his schedule . hilary : yes , of course . i would love to help . phyllis : good . maybe i can get a printout so i can know how and when i can make this happen . unless this is like a really bad time . neil : you 're asking if it 's a bad time ? phyllis : only to be polite , neil . you know i really do n't mean it . neil : that 's funny . i thought you were going soft on me . hilary : i could access jack 's schedule remotely . i 'll pull it up for you . phyllis : oh , good . thank you , thank you , thank you . you are a lifesaver , and that is sincere . hilary : i will be right back . neil : thanks , honey . phyllis : i like her . she 's really great , neil . but i need more help than she can give . and i need it from you . adam : i know i 've wasted a lot of time in my life . i was laying in that hospital bed , and i was thinking of the hours that i wasted thinking about plots and schemes and just ... stupid things that did n't matter , mostly about victor . and i 'd give anything to have that time back with chelsea . but as bad as that sounds , you know billy is worse , jack . he 's wasting precious seconds right now ... with chelsea , and the sooner you can get him away from her -- jack : billy and victoria are apart for a reason . their marriage did n't work any longer . victoria 's with someone else . he ca n't just slip back into her life like nothing happened . adam : yeah , well , he can try . and that 's the beauty of it . he can try , and it 'll work , jack , because they 're meant to be together , just like chelsea and i are meant to be together . jack : what about chelsea ? chelsea is happy now -- adam : she 's not happy ! jack , she -- she gets through the day ! she 's not happy ! jack : you 're wrong . adam : no , i know her . i know her like nobody else does . and she knows me like nobody else does . jack : adam , you 're dead . you 're gone . she 's wept for you , she 's grieved for you , she 's moved on . and if you think you can woo her as gabriel , it 's not gon na happen . adam : of course it 'll happen . it 'll work , jack . do you think she was with me because of my name , because of my bank account ? no . no , those things that brought us together and kept us together , everything that made us so wonderful together , they 're still there , all of those things . we 're the same people . it 's gon na bring us back together . it will . jack : and you 're willing to destroy all these lives for some delusion . adam : delusion ? what are you talking about , delusion ? you loved phyllis before she left , right ? and when she left , did you stop loving her ? no . you did n't , and now she 's back , and what happened ? you 're back together , and you 're still in love with her , right ? jack : if phyllis had not come back , i would be with someone else , and i would be happy . not the same kind of happy , no , but i 'd have moved on . adam : you can say that in theory . jack : no , i can say that in fact -- that 's what happened . i moved on . there was someone else . adam : where is she now ? oh , you -- you chose phyllis , right ? except it was n't really a choice at all , was it ? hmm ? no , because you two were meant to be together . that 's why . and the moment that woman walked through that door , it was over , right ? some loves are meant to last , jack . and some ... just are n't . give billy that chance . keep him out of prison . jack : oh , we 're back to the blackmail . adam : you think this is what i wanted ? i did n't want to blackmail you . i came here as a friend . i came here 'cause i needed a friend . i did n't have to tell you anything , did i ? right ? i could 've just introduced myself as gabriel , done some business with you , built up your trust , but i did n't . i told you everything 'cause i wanted you to know the truth , jack . and what else ? jack , i wanted you to be happy that i was back . jack : okay . i 'll help you -- for billy 's sake . adam : that 's a good choice . jack : under one condition . you look me in the eye and you swear to me the old adam is dead -- all the old grudges , all the dissatisfaction , all the excuses , all the anger -- gone ! if you really feel remorse about delia 's death -- adam : of course i do , jack . jack : then be better . do better . be the man adam newman never had a chance to be . adam : i swear ... to you , jack . i swear . billy : you okay ? victoria : yeah . katie and johnny are both napping . i should 've called you so we could push back your visit , but i got wrapped up in all of this . billy : well , that is something to get wrapped up in . victoria : could you please sit down and help me here ? billy : me ? the , uh , breaker of all things large and small ? victoria : i know you 're not a carpenter , but you know how to assemble , do n't you ? billy : kind of . victoria : i lost the instructions . i ca n't find them anywhere . billy : it 's probably better that way . victoria : okay . so , i set out all the pieces , right ? everything 's out . billy : ah , yes . the nice and orderly approach . i prefer to use instinct and cunning . victoria : yeah . and look at how far that 's gotten you . billy : [ chuckles ] you know , christmas is always fun and wrapping paper , and then afterwards , it 's , uh ... `` slide this slot ' a ' into part ' b , ' subset ' d. ' `` [ chuckles ] victoria : it was a nice christmas . billy : yeah , it was . reed had a blast . he 's become , like , the old man of the family . he 's got himself a passel of brothers and sisters between us , j.t . and mac . victoria : yeah , i know . i think he likes having a big family , you know ? especially around the holidays . billy : yeah . yeah . turns out , i like it , too . victoria : oh , good . billy : so , uh ... what are you guys doing for new year 's ? you and stitch gon na hit the club ? victoria : really have n't gotten that far yet . what about you and chelsea ? billy : i do n't know . we were kicking around some ideas , but then , uh ... we got distracted from the issue . victoria : yeah ? by what ? ah . our wedding anniversary . phyllis : when i went down for my `` nap , `` chelsea lawson was adam 's better half , so she was not the fashion - design star that she is today . so you know what ? i 'm a little behind the curve . but if you fill me in , you 're gon na help me dazzle them all . neil : okay . i 'm hearing a lot of bells and whistles , i 'm seeing this pitch in my head , but i 'm thinking , really , that you can do this all on your own . phyllis : oh , i 'm sorry . did you think i was being nice ? neil : wow . god forbid that phyllis ever be nice . phyllis : okay . you want me to beg a little harder . i can do that . neil : wait a minute . hold on , hold on . phyllis , you -- you do n't need me . phyllis : the hell i do n't . believe me . i would tell you if i did n't . neil , i ca n't show weakness , or we 're back in victim town . neil : oh , yeah , i 've driven by there once or twice . phyllis : yes , it 's awful . people acting like you need help . the only problem is , in this case , i actually do need help -- yours . so , if you 're not coming back to jabot , at least help make me look good . neil : [ laughs ] oh , lord . not easy transitioning back to your old life , or what is it ? your new -- new old life ? phyllis : jack and i are putting the past in the past . neil : 'cause it 's that easy . yeah , i hear you . um , i 'm hearing -- i 'm hearing a load of bull here , though , too . but i hear you -- past is in the past . you 've got to be a little angry . phyllis : i 'm fine . neil : no , you 're -- you 're pissed . phyllis : pissed is fine for me . neil : okay , phyllis , good . be angry . do n't let it slow you down . do n't let it get in your way . keep moving forward . fight for what you belie -- hell , do n't just fight -- get it . phyllis : you did it , did n't you ? you went to that doctor who might help you see . lily : you do n't have to feel guilty about dad . devon : well , i do . lily : why ? what do you think you 've done ? devon : i 'm just -- i 'm not the son that he needs me to be . lily : that is so not true . he loves you . lily : i know he loves me , but ... what am i doing for him in return ? i did n't even know he was tempted to drink . you figured that out , you saw it . i 've been too caught up in my own mess . lily : is that what this is about ? you feel like you ca n't bring gwen because every moment has to be about dad ? devon : no , it 's not about gwen . lily : look , dad is proud , and he 's private , but his first instinct will always be to protect us . devon : and who 's protecting dad ? lily : hilary . he trusts her . she provides him with love and support , and i know for a fact that if he did n't have hilary , he would n't have just thought about drinking . sage : my friend -- i really ca n't explain him . you know ? nick : okay . well , good luck . i hope everything is n't as bad as it sounds . sage : thank you . nick : bingo . adam : beg your pardon ? nick : i know you . adam : i - i do n't think so . i think you probably have me confused with some -- nick : dude , it 's nick newman . i was your big brother at mount bell academy . you 're gabriel bingham -- bingo , the binger . what 's up ? adam : yeah , okay . you know what ? it is . those -- those years , just -- for me , they 're a ... nick : yeah , yeah , it was a blur , i know . adam : ... a fog . nick : i was a couple years ahead of you . they assigned you to me . i had to kind of look out for you , show you the ropes . adam : yet i survived anyway , huh ? nick : [ laughing ] yeah . do you live in genoa city now ? 'cause i get the feeling maybe i 've seen you around . adam : no , just visiting . sage : well , he 's not here . i do n't ... nick : do you two know each other ? billy : we had some good times . you have to give us that . victoria : yeah . fishing you out of the gutter on new year 's eve . billy : yeah . getting married once on the beach in jamaica . victoria : getting arrested on one of our other wedding days . [ both laugh ] billy : it has made for some very interesting wedding pictures . victoria : and do n't forget the tattoos . billy : yeah , yeah , that was brilliant . victoria : yeah . you know , i keep meaning to have mine removed . billy : why have n't you ? victoria : i do n't know . my ob did n't approve it while i was pregnant , and now it 's just one of those things i ca n't seem to find time for . go figure . billy : yeah . victoria : what about you ? billy : i do n't know . i just ... have n't gotten around to it , i guess . victoria : what were we thinking , anyway ? billy : i think what we were thinking is , that if we made the rings permanent ... we would be , too . [ baby crying ] stitch : hey , look , i 'm sorry . i should 've checked in on you on christmas . kelly : no , no , no , no . you did the right thing . you know , you and victoria should spend every moment that you can together . you 've lost so much time , you deserve this . stitch : what about what you deserve ? like i told you before , you 're tough , kel . just take some time . do whatever you have to to come out on the other side . kelly : you 're a good brother , ben . glad you 're mine . stitch : hey . chelsea : progress . you did n't step on them . stitch : i owe you -- eh , for getting jeffrey to drop his lawsuit against memorial . chelsea : oh , pfft ! my father is easily influenced . stitch : yeah ? how much did it cost you ? oh , no . it did n't cost me anything . jeffrey 's not like that . he just felt -- okay , fine . it cost me a lot . but it all worked out in the end . stitch : and , uh , i know you did n't do it just for me , but thanks . chelsea : if someone had told me back when you were helping dylan paint his loft that we would end up here ... stitch : what , you with billy and me with victoria ? chelsea : no . i mean knowing we 're both such cons . phyllis : you already told me that you were on the hunt for some vision help . neil : yeah , i know . i already did tell you that . i enrolled in an experimental program , yes . phyllis : that 's great ! neil : okay , shh , shh , shh ! please , please ... phyllis : oh . i 'm sorry . neil : something else might be on the horizon . phyllis : all right . like what ? tell me . neil : on christmas eve ... my eyes -- i -- i saw light and shadow . phyllis : you saw ? neil : okay , phyllis , i - i thought you had some self - control . phyllis : you know i do n't have self - control ! neil : stop . shh . phyllis : this is -- this is kind of big , neil . this is kind of huge . you should not -- you have to tell your wife ! neil : no , no , no , no , no . no , i do n't have to tell her . i 'm gon na let this whole thing play out for a bit , you know ? i do n't want to get her hopes up yet . phyllis : i can understand that . sort of . is this ... the program , or is your vision coming back on its own ? neil : maybe it 's because i do n't want to get my own hopes up . phyllis : maybe hope is exactly the thing that got things rolling . you ever think about that ? neil : yes , i have . i do have hope . i ca n't fight it . and i ca n't wait ... for that moment ... to see my wife 's beautiful face again . phyllis : you 're back . hilary : uh , yeah , i printed out jack 's schedule for you . did you two need some more time to talk ? phyllis : i came to hit neil up for some advice about running jabot 's fashion division , but you did not hear me say that . neil : her exact words were -- what was it ? -- `` make me look good . `` that 's right . phyllis : i have no idea what you 're talking about . neil : of course not . hilary : well , you do n't have to worry . neil is very discreet . phyllis : well , i am counting on that . and thank you so much for this and also for your complete discretion . i would never get in the way of a big , romantic surprise . those moments are just way too important . phyllis : spoken like a woman in love . thank you both very much . neil : all right , keep me posted . phyllis : hey , you too . neil : thanks . hey , baby , she 's right , you know ? you do sound like a woman in love to these highly trained , perceptive ears . hilary : well , if you say i am ... neil : yeah , i do say . and i have -- i have something else to say to you . hilary : what 's that ? neil : all right , listen to me . i have a promise for you that next year , it 's not gon na be anything like this year . hilary : um ... but , neil , you know ... this life , it 's a good life . is n't it ? neil : of course it is . of course . but we can make it better . hilary : how ? neil : okay . remember , it was recently that you suggested that we , uh -- that we grow this family , right ? hilary : a baby ? neil : our baby . i know it sounds crazy , but , you know , you got to dare to dream in life . hilary : yeah . neil : so , why do n't we just see where fate ... goes with this ? hilary : uh ... what do you mean ? neil : okay . your birth - control pills . why do n't we get rid of those ? hilary : now ? neil : well , i mean , we can talk this all out . you go over the pros and the cons , the logistics ... hilary : yeah , yeah , okay . neil : just tell me how you feel about this . hilary : i ... i ... there 's no guarantee ... neil : no , of course there 's no guarantees , but , you know , we can always try . a baby ... would n't that be an incredible bonus to our relationship ? start by ... throwing away ... throwing away those pills . i guess that 's a yes . hilary : you 're smiling . neil : yes . yes , i am . devon : hey , so , gwen , i was hoping that you would be free this new year 's eve , 'cause we 're having a party here at the club , and i 'd really love if you 'd be able to make it . right . i 'm looking forward to seeing you , too . all right . let 's talk later . all right , bye . sage : yes , he and i , we know each other . nick : oh , so gabriel 's the friend you 've been looking for ?

jack : he wants to do a deal . phyllis : but what about you ? do you want the deal ? jack : i already agreed , but ... phyllis : but you 're ambivalent . jack : wary . phyllis : that 's not like you . you go with your gut . if you 're not sure about this guy , then ... jack : i just do n't know . phyllis : something is n't right . who is this guy ?

hope : react how ? katie : ridge thinks that the pilot of the helicopter was justin . hope : oh , bill 's lawyer , justin ? katie : yes , and bill 's best friend , justin , who would do anything for bill . he thinks that justin dumped him into the persian gulf on bill 's orders . brooke : we do n't know that , katie , but we do know that ridge has been having a hard time trying to fill those gaps in his memory . hope : is that what you think this is ? i mean , the ridge that i know -- i think the ridge that we all know -- would not accuse someone of something like this if they had any kind of doubts , even if the person was bill . brooke : honey , i know you 've had your issues with bill , but i just ca n't imagine bill doing something like this to ridge . deacon : i can . justin : calm down , man . ridge : i saw you . i saw your face . i saw the logo on your jacket right before i went down . i know it was you . justin : ridge , you 're not making any sense . ridge : look , it was n't an accident . you were following your boss 's orders . stop protecting him . justin : i 'm not protecting anyone , but i am concerned about you . why do n't you let me call katie ?

deacon : anywho , um , i just want to say that i feel really lucky to have all the beautiful logan women to myself this evening . uh , that was bill that i saw driving away before , though , right ? brooke : what do you want ? deacon : i wanted to make sure that our daughter 's okay . i mean , especially after everything that that whackjob quinn put her and liam through . hope : i 'm fine . thank you . deacon : of course you are , 'cause you take after your mother . you 're resilient , you 're strong , and you 're beautiful , and your mother and i are very proud of you . are n't we , brooke ?

i mean , i - i understand that i 've got a long way to go to prove that i 'm not the same louse that i 've been most of my life , but , i mean , please , at least i 'm -- i 'm making a start here . hope : he really did come through for liam . deacon : i did learn an important thing , though , too . got to be careful who you pick up at a bar . otherwise , you wind up with some crazy whackjob . katie : whackjob . right . brooke : we 're well aware of what you did to save liam ... and hope and i are very grateful . deacon : but you 're having a tough time because of all the stuff that i 've put you through and especially our daughter . hope : well , you know , we do n't have to talk about that right now . deacon : no , you know what ?

katie : the question is , is he capable of murder if he feels trapped and pushed into a corner ? and i 'm sorry , but i ca n't just dismiss everything that ridge has said . can you ? brooke : bill was just trying to give me the wedding of my dreams , and he was doing just that ... until ridge showed up . and it was horrible when he fell out of the helicopter , and he was missing for days , and then i found him on the beach alive . i thought that nightmare was over , and then it 's not now , because now he 's accusing bill of doing all of these things . deacon : [ chuckling ] whoa . are you trying to tell me that ridge thinks spencer dumped him into the persian gulf ?

[ speaking italian ] alison : what does that mean ? deacon : it means that you are a very beautiful woman . alison : do n't use me , deacon . i 'll help you if i can , but do n't use me . deacon : you know , brooke , if you want to find out the truth , i think i know a way to help you . brooke : i still do n't see what you could do . deacon : well , maybe this is my opportunity to show you what i can do . katie : [ sighs ] i just do n't know if it was a good idea to get deacon involved . hope : he just wants to help . katie : but he does n't have any connection to this . what can he do ? alison : delete . [ telephone ringing ] alison : bill spencer 's office . deacon : tu sei una bella donna . alison : deacon ? deacon : [ chuckles ] it 's been a long time . alison : why are you calling me ? deacon : i was just wondering if you still had a soft spot for bad boys . alison : [ chuckles ] yes . deacon : well , then , honey , who 's badder than me ? alison : no one . deacon : [ chuckles ] you still slaving away for bill spencer ? alison : sitting at his desk as we speak . deacon : mm . oh , i 'm just thinking that 's a -- that 's a pity that i 'm not there to distract you . alison : bill would n't like that . deacon : no , but you will . i 'll make sure of it . alison : you 're coming here ? deacon : when you least expect it . ciao , bella . ridge : all right , you good ? brooke : i ca n't believe this . this is my wedding day , ridge . ridge : i know what day it is . i 'm doing this for you . he 's no good for you . brooke : you ruined it for me . ridge : i will always do what 's best for you . brooke : how do i even know what you 're saying is true ? how do i know that ? we ca n't just leave him down there on the beach . we got to go back down and get him . ridge : he 's never been loyal to anyone . that includes you . take us to the jet . tell them to get ready for takeoff . brooke : ridge ! [ door opens ] bill : heading up ? brooke : uh , yeah . i - i was n't sure how much longer you 'd be . bill : where 's katie ? brooke : she went home a while ago . bill : let me guess -- she still has her doubts about me ? brooke : she 's -- she 's trying not to . bill : ca n't help herself . brooke : well , this is really tearing her apart , too , bill . bill : yeah , not enough to rein in ridge . he was at my office tonight , accosting justin . brooke : what ? bill : luckily , i walked in when i did . brooke : what happened ? bill : he was trying extract a confession . we were able to talk him down . brooke : so where is he now ? bill : well , hopefully , driving home to katie . although she may just fuel his paranoia . brooke : no , i do n't think she 's trying to do that . bill : listen , brooke . she 's the only one who can get through to ridge , other than you . but she ca n't keep coddling him . and he ca n't keep flinging around these accusations . i mean , bad enough he gets in my face , but going after justin , as well ? i 'm trying to be as patient and understanding as i can , but my patience has its limits , and then ... brooke : and then you push back . bill : do n't tell me he 's gotten to you , too . brooke : you were very calm and very rational to ridge , and yet ... [ sighs ] i really hate to ask this , but i need to know the truth . you have to be honest with me . ridge could have died . did you try to kill him ? the absolute truth , bill . bill : no . i did not try to kill ridge . brooke : [ sighs ]
ridge continues to hold justin in a chokehold by the neck , wanting him to admit taking orders from bill to dunk him in the water . he just wants justin to tell him he was following bill 's orders . he 's after bill , not justin . brooke admits to bill that maybe it is time for ridge to see someone professionally . katie barges back in to find the truth . bill says he did not try to kill ridge so he will leave them at that . brooke says she wants to believe in ridge but he is struggling right now . the picture he has in his head is just that , a picture . hope walks in and brooke fills her in that ridge thinks bill is responsible for his accident . deacon also just barges in and says he can believe that . brooke says he can not just walk in here any time he wants to . katie says this is lovely but they are sort of in the middle of something . deacon says he knows he has been a louse in the past but he 's trying . got ta be careful who you play nice to in a bar or you might run into a whack job . bill has a way of having others do his dirty work for him .before he says more he says he did not come here for this . bill interrupts ridge and justin pulls free . ridge says he has no proof yet but justin tried to kill him at bill 's orders . then bill will lose his business , his family and brooke . bill tells justin that ridge does not have jack on then . alison even backs this up , it never happened . hope wonders what will happen if ridge is correct and bill is responsible . they thought deacon had left but he walks back in just in time to hear this . maybe he can help . he is a man of many talents and he has a huge soft spot for the logan women . so what 's the plan ? brooke says she and bill are in love and going to get married . he could not do something like this . deacon thinks back to a time in italy with alison . he tells brooke maybe there is something he can do . katie says deacon has no connection to this so what can he do . deacon calls alison and asks if she still has a soft spot for bad boys as he is as bad as he can be . he wants to come see her when she is least expecting him .

[ door opens ] bill : heading up ? brooke : uh , yeah . i - i was n't sure how much longer you 'd be . bill : where 's katie ? brooke : she went home a while ago . bill : let me guess -- she still has her doubts about me ? brooke : she 's -- she 's trying not to . bill : ca n't help herself . brooke : well , this is really tearing her apart , too , bill . bill : yeah , not enough to rein in ridge . he was at my office tonight , accosting justin . brooke : what ? bill : luckily , i walked in when i did . brooke : what happened ? bill : he was trying extract a confession . we were able to talk him down . brooke : so where is he now ? bill : well , hopefully , driving home to katie . although she may just fuel his paranoia . brooke : no , i do n't think she 's trying to do that . bill : listen , brooke . she 's the only one who can get through to ridge , other than you . but she ca n't keep coddling him . and he ca n't keep flinging around these accusations . i mean , bad enough he gets in my face , but going after justin , as well ? i 'm trying to be as patient and understanding as i can , but my patience has its limits , and then ... brooke : and then you push back . bill : do n't tell me he 's gotten to you , too . brooke : you were very calm and very rational to ridge , and yet ... [ sighs ] i really hate to ask this , but i need to know the truth . you have to be honest with me . ridge could have died . did you try to kill him ? the absolute truth , bill . bill : no . i did not try to kill ridge . brooke : [ sighs ]Summarize.[/INST]ridge continues to hold justin in a chokehold by the neck , wanting him to admit taking orders from bill to dunk him in the water . he just wants justin to tell him he was following bill 's orders . he 's after bill , not justin . brooke admits to bill that maybe it is time for ridge to see someone professionally . katie barges back in to find the truth . bill says he did not try to kill ridge so he will leave them at that . brooke says she wants to believe in ridge but he is struggling right now . the picture he has in his head is just that , a picture . hope walks in and brooke fills her in that ridge thinks bill is responsible for his accident . deacon also just barges in and says he can believe that . brooke says he can not just walk in here any time he wants to . katie says this is lovely but they are sort of in the middle of something . deacon says he knows he has been a louse in the past but he 's trying . got ta be careful who you play nice to in a bar or you might run into a whack job . bill has a way of having others do his dirty work for him .before he says more he says he did not come here for this . bill interrupts ridge and justin pulls free . ridge says he has no proof yet but justin tried to kill him at bill 's orders . then bill will lose his business , his family and brooke . bill tells justin that ridge does not have jack on then . alison even backs this up , it never happened . hope wonders what will happen if ridge is correct and bill is responsible . they thought deacon had left but he walks back in just in time to hear this . maybe he can help . he is a man of many talents and he has a huge soft spot for the logan women . so what 's the plan ? brooke says she and bill are in love and going to get married . he could not do something like this . deacon thinks back to a time in italy with alison . he tells brooke maybe there is something he can do . katie says deacon has no connection to this so what can he do . deacon calls alison and asks if she still has a soft spot for bad boys as he is as bad as he can be . he wants to come see her when she is least expecting him .</s>

theresa : yeah , first me , then my niece , then my sister . ugh , who 's next , my mother ? jj : you really are a disgusting person . you -- you make that skank sister of yours look almost human . theresa : no . just who the hell are you to stand over us in judgment ? i mean , you 're a horton living in hortonland . you went to english boarding school , and you were born with a silver coke spoon in your mouth . no matter how hard your family tries , they ca n't cover up the fact that you are trash , and what you did to paige , that is the definition of disgusting . jj : i know . theresa : aw . well , so do i . you know , you do n't get to treat me like i 'm something you can just scrape off the bottom of your shoe anymore . god , all this time , you acted like you were so much better than me 'cause you reformed ?

paige : mm - hmm . rory : is n't that a little embarrassing ? paige : not to me . i did n't do anything . rory : yeah , but -- paige : what , are you worried that it might damage their reputation ? what , that they might not want people to know the sick , disgusting things they did ?

chad : i am buried in work today , and i do not have a lot of time , so what do you want ? abigail : i - i ... i just thought that we should talk about what happened . chad : oh , i 'm assuming you are probably referring to us having sex . right there on the table , over there in the grass , upstairs in my bedroom where you were begging -- abigail : all right , you can stop , okay ? chad : well , do you want to talk about it , or are you here because you want to do it again ? right here , right now ? eve : oh , come on . this ca n't be the only article . laura horton was a doctor and she ended up in the booby hatch ? there 's got ta be some other way i can find out . theresa : brady may not be my biggest fan right now . jj : ya think ? theresa : but he 'll come around . and he 'll do it a lot sooner than paige . you know , actually , i just talked to my niece , and guess what ? she might hate you even more than i do . jj : what did she say ? theresa : oh , gosh , i 'd love to stick around and tell you , but i got ta go pick up tate . that 's my son . got ta make sure that he 's okay to take home from the hospital . but you know what , i am so glad that i found some time to pop by and ... well , rub it in . jj : you 're such a bitch . theresa : mm , maybe , but at least this bitch has got a bright future , and you ? you got nothing . brady : thank you for getting here so quickly . pam : no problem . has this theresa donovan arrived yet ? brady : no , no , but when she does , i want to be ready for her . ben : what 's going on ?

chad : i came back to salem with one goal in mind : to prove to myself that after everything that happened between you and ej , you still wanted me . and you do . badly . abigail : i do n't believe that . do you -- do you really expect me to believe that , chad ? that you -- that -- that -- that happened just because you were trying to get even with me ? chad : well , it was kind of pathetic how obvious you were . i mean , how many times did you come up with some lame excuse to find me or be alone with me ? i think my favorite one was the time you were pretending to comfort me when i lost my sister , right , the sister that you hated . i guess i could have been easier on you and just given you what you wanted right away , but the whole game was just -- just kind of flattering to me . abigail : flattering ? chad , you said that you loved me . chad : no , i said whatever i needed to say to get you into bed , abigail . i mean , well , it did actually take awhile to get into a bed . you know , you are a lot more adventurous than the last time i had you . did ej teach you all that stuff ? abigail : stop it ! i do n't know what you think that you are doing , but this -- chad : okay , well then , let me spell it out for you . you dumped me , you went after my brother , it got written up in a magazine for everybody to read about . do you have any idea how humiliating that was for me ? abigail : [ sighs ] chad : well , now i 've done the same thing to you , only i wo n't run and tell your mommy or your little brother or your bumpkin boyfriend that abigail is still just a little bit of a slut . living with chronic migraine jennifer : hey . how are you holding up ? jj : okay , i guess . i 'm hanging out with rory later . jennifer : good . jj : who 's the present for ? jennifer : uh , i just got a beautiful scarf for your grandmother for her birthday . i 'm just gon na put it from all of us . jj : well , i 'll send her a card . jennifer : oh , i have a card right here . but you know , you can put a separate note in it . she would love that more than a present . jj : you 're so good to her . you take care of all of us . jennifer : well , that 's really sweet of you to say that , but we both know it 's not true . jj : yes , it is . jennifer : no , it 's not . the truth is , i have failed you . across the board , jj . eve : you , uh ... you -- you startled me . paige : what are you up to now ? eve : well , i 'm not up to anything , sweetheart , but it 's so good to see you , i -- paige : save it , okay ? and do n't call me sweetheart ever again . i know whatever comes out of your mouth is a lie . eve : well , not the fact that i love you and i -- and i 'm sorry that -- paige : shut up . just shut up and listen , okay ? i only stopped by because i saw you and i have one last thing to say . and then ... you and i are done for good . jj : you told me every step of the way that i could lose paige . but i just could n't let her go . that 's why i ended up lying . it has nothing to do with what you said . jennifer : yes , but i -- jj : all i could think about was that i had another chance with paige , mom . jennifer : but i led you to think that . jj : no , you did n't . jennifer : yes . jj : no , you did n't . i was already there . and now paige is all alone , and i did that . me . and i have to live with that . jennifer : you seem a lot more resigned to that than the last time we talked . jj : i think i 'm finally starting to get it through my thick head that i 've lost paige . forever . theresa : hi . brady : hi , glad you could make it . theresa : hi , hello , doctor . hi , how 's tate ? can i see him now ? doctor : oh , the nurse will be bringing him up in an hour , then you can spend the rest of the night with him here and take him home in the morning . theresa : that 's the best news i 've ever heard . brady : so everything is okay with him ? doctor : you need to stop worrying . start to enjoy a happy , healthy baby boy . all right ? brady : all right , will do . theresa : you know , to be honest , i 'm actually kind of nervous about bringing him home . brady : mm . look , i 'm glad we have some extra time because we can use it to get a few things straight . chad : what are you getting so worked up about ? you said you came here to end this . what 'd you expect me to do , fall apart and beg you to stay with me ? abigail : why are you being so cruel ? chad : 'cause i am a dimera , honey . cruel is in our dna . stefano : what the hell do you think you are doing ? ortho home defense gives you year long control paige : i got the check you sent me to cover my tuition at stanford . eve : that 's great , sweetheart , good . paige : when i told you i did n't want anything to do with you , i was talking about your money , too . eve : honey ... it -- it 's too late for you to apply for financial aid , i mean . how do you plan on paying for your tuition now ? paige : oh , beats me . maybe i just wo n't go . eve : okay , wait -- wait a minute . i know that you 're angry and that you hate me right now , but do n't be ridiculous , sweetheart . come on , i had to fight jennifer tooth and nail to get the money for you to go to stanford . paige : oh , do not give me that -- no , no , no -- nothing you ever did was for me , okay ? you stuck it to mrs. horton because it was fun for you . eve : oh , no , just -- please , just let me do this one thing for you , please ? paige : why , so you can go around bragging about how you have a daughter at stanford ? well , forget it , okay ? you do n't have a daughter anymore . i do n't want anything to do with you . eve : honey ... come on , you -- you -- you ca n't mean that . paige : oh -- yeah -- i -- i 'll show you how much i mean it . you know that stupid cell phone you gave me so that you can , you know , run my life ? i 'm going to block your calls . eve : come on , just stop it . paige : do n't you touch me ! eve : no -- just listen to me , listen to me , paige . you 've got to believe me , i never wanted you to go back with jj . that was all jennifer 's -- it was her idea . paige : you slept with him , mom . you knew i loved him and you slept with him anyway . who the hell cares why you said you wanted us to get back together ? just ... forget the phone . do n't call me . ever . we 're done . eve : none of this would have happened if it had n't been for jennifer horton . none of it . jj : the surprise party . paige is telling everyone what happened . throwing the cake on the floor . an idiot would have realized that it was over right then , but i was worse than an idiot until today . jennifer : what happened ? jj : i tried to get daniel to talk to paige for me , but he turned me down and said that it was n't his place . jennifer : i 'm sorry , honey . jj : no , it was the right thing to do . but then i realized that if -- if daniel could n't back me up , then there 's just no hope . jennifer : oh , honey . jj : and as i was leaving daniel 's , i ran into paige . and -- and i thought that maybe time would change how she felt about me , but it did n't . she hates me more than ever . and theresa said the same thing . jennifer : how do you know that ? jj : oh , she was here right before you got home . jennifer : what ? jj : yeah , she stopped by to rub it in . she 's loving this . jennifer : gosh , i can not believe that she was here . jj : you know what , mom ? it 's me . if i had n't done what i did , paige would n't hate me , and theresa would n't have anything to talk about . i did something so stupid that i lost paige forever . jennifer : honey ... i know how hard this is , okay ? but acceptance is the beginning of healing , all right , and i know you 're in a lot of pain , but it 's gon na get better . i promise you , it is . jj : i 'm sorry , mom , but i just do n't see that happening . i , uh ... i 'm gon na get going . try not to worry about me . theresa : is this about melanie leaving ? brady : no , theresa , this is about us . theresa : who 's that ? brady : this is pam . pam is a notary and her services are gon na be helpful today . theresa : wait -- a notary , why ? brady : because , theresa , we have a couple issues we need to settle , just legal issues . theresa : here , now ? brady : right here and right now . chad : what am i doing ? something private , something personal , and something that is none of your damn business . stefano : you deliberately humiliated her . chad : i told her the truth . stefano : now you are a liar , because you love her , for goodness sake . you told me so yourself ! chad : love is overrated . i 'm young , i am rich , and i am powerful . why in the world would i want to tie myself down to just one woman , pops ? stefano : you idiot . you intentionally drove her away and you did it to defy me ! abigail : hi , ben , i 'm so sorry i kept you waiting . ben : hey , it 's no big deal . abigail : [ sighs ] ben : you all right ? abigail : i , uh ... brady : we can have privacy in here -- theresa : yeah , no , we 're not gon na have any privacy with her here . and you know what , i 'll get -- get this straight , okay . i am not signing any sort of custody agreement without my lawyer present . brady : you want some coffee or anything ? theresa : did you just hear me ? brady : yes , i did . i did hear you , and i want you to understand that i realize that i was wrong to pressure you into an agreement before . it 's not gon na happen again . theresa : damn straight , it wo n't . brady : and as far as sharing custody of tate , we will take care of that tomorrow . we 'll talk about living arrangements , child support , everything , all right ? theresa : yeah , as long as i have my attorney present . brady : absolutely . you 'll be able to confer with your attorney as much as you want to . theresa : okay , so what 's all this notary business about , hmm ? brady : i had aiden jennings write up a simple legal agreement , theresa . it states that for the first year of tate 's life , you and i agree to remain in salem . theresa : oh . brady : i assume since melanie is gone that you would n't have a problem with that . theresa : well , um ... i suppose not . brady : good . sign it . rory : all right , so i got this cousin in chicago and he says that we can crash there anytime we want . dude , this is like planning summer fun with debbie downer . have a beer , lighten up . jj : damn it . man : you , uh ... you looking for this ? i was hoping you 'd come back for it . [ chuckles ] jj : who the hell is that ? rory : oh , dude , you should have been here . that guy , he was hitting on paige earlier and she , like , totally shot him down . i guess he does n't know when to give up . paige : i guess i did n't make myself clear . there is n't a chance in hell that i would ever , ever go out -- jj : all right , get lost . excuse me , get lost , pal . she 's not interested . man : hey , okay , all right , man . ca n't blame a guy for trying , right ? so , uh , yeah . honey , just call me . jj : okay , i - i know you do n't want me around , but i just could n't let that guy bother you like that . paige : no , jj , it 's all right , i appreciate it . jj : really ? paige : yes . thank you so much for rescuing me from a really uncomfortable situation . jj : well , i 'm glad that i could help . paige : me too . i mean , ugh , so gross , right ? i mean , he was probably as old as my father . hooking up with someone his age would be , like , totally disgusting . right ? eve : well , i see you stopped off at the ice cream store . jennifer : just keep walking . eve : is it rocky road ? i know that 's your son 's favorite . jennifer : jj is out of your life and paige is , so why do n't you just forget that you ever knew him , okay ? eve : well , it 's hard to forget someone you 've known so , uh ... intimately . jennifer : you are such a disgusting pig . do n't you ever talk about my son again , and if you think you are gon na get him mixed up in your web again , it 's never gon na happen , not in a million years , because he never wants to see you again . eve : well , you know , jennifer , he kept telling me that , but the funny thing is , he just kept coming back for more . jennifer : i 'm telling you right now , if you ever hurt my son again , i promise you , i will destroy you . eve : jj 's not the one i 'm after ... you sanctimonious bitch . chad : why do n't you walk me through how ending things with abigail defies you . stefano : you are a very stubborn young man . chad : because i wo n't let you dictate my love life ? stefano : that is not what i am doing . i told you what i want -- chad : yeah , yeah , i know . you just want me to be happy . because i 'm the only child you have left and you do n't want to repeat the mistakes you made with your other children . is n't that how it goes ? well , if all you want is my happiness , and it makes me happy to end things with abigail , then why do you care ? you see what i 'm saying here ? stefano : [ sighs ] abigail : i 'm sorry . i did n't mean to just fall apart like that . [ clears throat ] ben : what 's going on ? abigail : it 's just ... it 's just this thing with jj , you know , he 's so ... he 's so miserable and his life is just such a mess and i ... he 's just reminding me of all the mistakes i 've made , and i ... i do n't know what 's wrong with me . [ sighs ] ben : absolutely nothing . abigail : stop it . ben : come on , everybody does things we regret . seems like it 's just part of being human . the point is to just learn from it and move on . do n't keep beating yourself up . abigail : i really want you to know that i promise you it 's all over . [ phone chimes ] ben : you better read that . could be your brother . abigail : yeah . uh , no it 's just the phone company telling me about my bill . [ sighs ] ben : hey , i , uh ... i saw your cousin joey before you got here . abigail : you did ? ben : yeah . abigail : god , joey , i have n't seen joey in ages . ben : yeah , i think he 's hanging out with mrs. brady in the kitchen . abigail : oh . ben : i told him you 'd go back and say hi , so ... abigail : i should , yeah , i -- i 'm gon na go say hi to him . i 'll be right back , okay ? ben : all right , take your time , i 'll be here . abigail : thank you . do n't be silly . jennifer : yes , so i just mailed out your present . be on the lookout for it . of course i sent you a present . do n't be silly . so what 're you gon na do for your birthday ? i hope something very fun . what ? i sound funny ? no , no , i 'm fine . there 's nothing wrong . i just , um ... it 's just been a stressful day , that 's all . eve : hmm . hm - hm - hm - hm - hmm . i definitely need to know more about laura horton 's breakdown . but how do i do it ? well , where there is a will , there 's got ta be a way . hm . jj : i told my mom today , there 's no hope for paige and me . she 's never gon na forgive me . rory : dude , you slept with her mother . look , if she slept with your dad , could you get past it ? i mean , if your dad was n't already , you know , dead . jj : do n't start . rory : look , all i 'm saying is that you better back off . when i was talking with her earlier , she did n't even seem like the old paige . she 's really mad . jj : what did she say ? rory : she wants everybody to find out about you and her mom . and that she wants me to spread it around . jj : and you 're not going to do that , are you ? rory : no , but the thing is ... jj : the thing is what ? rory : when paige is that mad , she 's a little scary . paige : i hate my mom and jj so much . [ sniffles ] how could they do that to me ? no . no more crying . [ sighs ] i wish i could hurt them as much as they hurt me . maybe today was n't so awful . maybe i can make what happened today work for me . okay . ben : still loading ? it 's taking forever . abigail : bye , joey . do n't forget to tell your mom i said hi . ben : looks like seeing joey cheered you right up . abigail : god , that kid is so awesome . i saw caroline , too , and she told me how lucky i am to have such a sweet boyfriend who is also so handsome . ben : mm , no i paid her to say that , so ... abigail : no , you did n't , but you know what , she is right . ben , you mean so much to me , and i know that you 've put up with me through so much . ben : you 've done the same thing for me . abigail : no , i mean it , ben . you 've been so patient and kind . ben : well , do n't make me out to be some saint . because you know better than anyone ... that 's not who i am . abigail : what i know is how amazing you are . and caroline 's right . i am so lucky to have you in my life . chad : [ panting ] abigail : chad , you said that you loved me . i do love you , abigail . i never stopped . theresa : so you think it 's okay for me to sign it ? right . okay . thanks a lot . he 's okay with it . brady : the only thing you 're agreeing to is to stay in salem for one year . pam : is that everything ? brady : that is everything . thank you so much . could you make sure that aiden jennings gets a copy of that and another is forwarded to theresa 's attorney , please ? pam : no problem . brady : thank you . theresa : see ? i can be agreeable . look , brady , i really think that it 's great that we 're both committing to being here for another year , and um ... you know , it could be a new beginning for us . we could get to know each other in a whole new way . brady : oh , it 's definitely going to be a new beginning . but not in the way that you think . theresa : what do you mean ? brady : it means that i have put up your interference in my life and your lies for way too long . but now that 's all gon na change .
paige wanted to know why rory did n't tell people about jj and eve . theresa confronted jj about cheating on paige with eve . eve investigated laura 's mental illness . chad met with abby and reminded her what they did with each other . paige wanted rory to tell everyone what jj and eve did to her . theresa told jj that she had a son . jj thought she would make a terrible mother and the two argued over it . brady wanted to make sure he stayed a step ahead of theresa . abby wanted to talk about what she and chad did , but he was nasty to her . paige busted eve when she was checking out laura 's illness . theresa and jj argued until she left the house to go to the hospital . chad made it seem as if he manipulated abby to get her in bed . chad continued to berate abby which ended up getting him slapped .
<s>[INST] man : geez , you seem to have a pretty intense relationship with your cell phone . what 's up with that ? paige : deleting contacts . i do n't need them anymore . older man : oh , good , good , nice . make room for some new ones , you know , like , uh , well , i do n't know , like mine . [ chuckles ] how about i buy you a drink ? eve : `` dr. laura horton , committed to mental health facility following incident . `` huh ... i almost forgot . that for quite some time , jennifer 's mother was out of her mind . jennifer : oh , hey there . brady : hi . jennifer : hey , how 's the baby ? brady : he 's good , he 's good . jennifer : yeah ? brady : yeah , we 're waiting for confirmation , but i think we 're gon na be able to take him home tomorrow . jennifer : oh , and the adventure begins . brady : hmm . jennifer : are you thrilled ? brady : i am thrilled . i 'm excited . totally . jennifer : and theresa ? brady : she -- she 's -- i 'm sure she 's thrilled , but i have n't talked to her today , and that 's probably a good thing . theresa : hey , jj , how 's it going ? jj : you have the wrong address . the free clinic is two blocks down . theresa : oh , my gosh , i have so missed your sense of humor . jj : what the hell do you want ? theresa : i just was looking for paige . is she here ? jj : no . theresa : well , do n't you two do everything together ? are n't you , like , joined at the hip until death do us part and all that crap ? jj : i said she was n't here . theresa : what -- am i sensing a little bit of tension ? do n't tell me that there 's trouble in paradise . do n't tell me that she hates your guts for doing the nasty with her mother -- emphasis on nasty . [ laughs ] [ cell phone rings ] abigail : hey . ben : hey . just wanted to check in , see how things were going with your brother . abigail : uh , things went good . ben : good . abigail : thank you , it 's really sweet of you to call and check on me and i 'm sorry that i rushed out before . ben : oh , it 's no problem , i just -- i do n't like seeing you upset . all i want is for you to be happy . i love you . abigail : i love you too , ben . ben : so can i see you later ? abigail : sure , yeah , but first i need ... ben : abigail ? abigail : i have to take care of something first . paige : i ca n't drink . i 'm not 21 . man : really ? that 's so funny , because i actually know a place where that would n't be a problem . [ chuckles ] paige : i think the problem for me would be spending another second with a creep like you . so , why do n't you get lost before i talk to my friend , the manager ? man : not yet 21 and already a stone bitch . rory : nicely done . paige : oh , i did n't think my day could get any worse . rory : man -- hey , that guy , he hit on the wrong lady . you made mince meat out of him . and it was kind of hot . not that i 'm hitting on you or anything like that , but i really do like this empowered woman thing you got going on . paige : then my life is worth living . rory : i mean , i 'd get it if you did n't bounce back from this whole , like , jj doing your mom thing , but you just got this attitude of like , bring it on . paige : oh , my god . rory : oh , uh ... probably did n't want me to bring that up , huh ? paige : oh , you catch on fast . so , tell me , rory . how many people have you told about jj doing my mom , as you so delicately put it ? rory : nobody , i swear . paige : why the hell not ? jj : all right , you need to go now . theresa : oh , you know , i 'm starting to think that you never really got over me . jj : what ? theresa : yeah , first me , then my niece , then my sister . ugh , who 's next , my mother ? jj : you really are a disgusting person . you -- you make that skank sister of yours look almost human . theresa : no . just who the hell are you to stand over us in judgment ? i mean , you 're a horton living in hortonland . you went to english boarding school , and you were born with a silver coke spoon in your mouth . no matter how hard your family tries , they ca n't cover up the fact that you are trash , and what you did to paige , that is the definition of disgusting . jj : i know . theresa : aw . well , so do i . you know , you do n't get to treat me like i 'm something you can just scrape off the bottom of your shoe anymore . god , all this time , you acted like you were so much better than me 'cause you reformed ? it was n't true . you are the same lying little loser that you are always were , and you know what , i could n't be happier that your whole life is just blown to hell . jj : it 's not like you 're doing that much better . theresa : well ... actually , i do n't know if you heard , but things are really looking up for me because i got what 's rightfully mine . my child . jennifer : hey , um , i heard about melanie leaving town . brady : yeah , we do n't have to really talk about that day , do we ? jennifer : no . brady : i do n't like talking about that . jennifer : i know , i wo n't , but i am really sorry . brady : thank you . jennifer : but anyway , i need to get going , i need to grab something from my office and get to the post office before it closes because my mom is like a little kid when it comes to her birthday . so i need to mail this out before it 's too late . brady : oh , that 's sweet . hey , tell her happy birthday from me . how 's she doing ? jennifer : um , she 's good . she 's really happy right now . brady : i 'm glad to hear that . her life has not been easy . jennifer : uh , no , it really has n't been . eve : when i first came back to town all those years ago , jennifer broke off her engagement with frankie and i 'm almost sure he said it was because she was afraid that she would inherit her mother 's illness . hmm . well ... i guess mental illness would scare the hell out of anyone . would n't it ? abigail : i got ta go . ben : okay , so then , i 'll see you later at the pub ? i love you . abigail : i love you , too . sorry , i -- i -- i would never have answered that if -- chad : it 's fine , do n't worry about it . i 'm the one that kept you waiting . i 'm sorry it took so long for me to finish doing what i was doing . i was sure you 'd probably make yourself comfortable , though . you sure did the other night . rory : so you want me to be telling people about jj and your mom ? paige : mm - hmm . rory : is n't that a little embarrassing ? paige : not to me . i did n't do anything . rory : yeah , but -- paige : what , are you worried that it might damage their reputation ? what , that they might not want people to know the sick , disgusting things they did ? by the way , rory , that -- that was things , plural . i -- i made that clear , did n't i ? it was n't just once . they were like an item , really into each other . rory : wow , uh ... you 're really pissed . paige : so please do n't , you know , keep this bottled up inside . post about it , tweet it , talk about it . do n't hold back on my account . rory : well , yeah , it 'll be a little hard to fit it all in less than 140 characters . paige : aw , but you love a challenge , right ? rory : you know , you always used to be so nice and it really got on my nerves . you 're like ... totally different now . paige : being betrayed by the people you love most in the whole world ... it changes a person . jj : i heard you and brady had a baby together . that poor kid . first , he gets kidnapped as an embryo , and then he gets stuck with you as a mom . theresa : i am going to be a great mother . jj : yeah , right . while he 's in the hospital and a bunch of nurses are changing his diapers . wait till he comes home , stays up all night crying . you 'll have your drug dealer on speed dial . theresa : i 'll never do drugs again . i love my baby too much . jj : you only love yourself . theresa : you do n't know anything about me . i love my little boy more than anything in the whole wide world . jj : you 're just gon na use that kid to get what you want . how much are you soaking brady for child support ? theresa : we have n't even talked about it . jj : oh , well , do n't push too hard , 'cause he might not be too generous after you tried to whack his father . theresa : that 's an ugly rumor , and i do n't even know how it got started . jj : yeah , it sounds like you to me . bet it does to brady , too . what 's it like having a baby with a guy that hates your guts ? brady : i 'm at the hospital and my son 's mother is gon na be here soon . i was wondering , could you come by here ? i want to take care of this as soon as possible . great . no , no , thank you . thank you so much , i just ... i want to make sure i stay one step ahead of her . abigail : that was a low blow . are you upset with me ? chad : i am buried in work today , and i do not have a lot of time , so what do you want ? abigail : i - i ... i just thought that we should talk about what happened . chad : oh , i 'm assuming you are probably referring to us having sex . right there on the table , over there in the grass , upstairs in my bedroom where you were begging -- abigail : all right , you can stop , okay ? chad : well , do you want to talk about it , or are you here because you want to do it again ? right here , right now ? eve : oh , come on . this ca n't be the only article . laura horton was a doctor and she ended up in the booby hatch ? there 's got ta be some other way i can find out . theresa : brady may not be my biggest fan right now . jj : ya think ? theresa : but he 'll come around . and he 'll do it a lot sooner than paige . you know , actually , i just talked to my niece , and guess what ? she might hate you even more than i do . jj : what did she say ? theresa : oh , gosh , i 'd love to stick around and tell you , but i got ta go pick up tate . that 's my son . got ta make sure that he 's okay to take home from the hospital . but you know what , i am so glad that i found some time to pop by and ... well , rub it in . jj : you 're such a bitch . theresa : mm , maybe , but at least this bitch has got a bright future , and you ? you got nothing . brady : thank you for getting here so quickly . pam : no problem . has this theresa donovan arrived yet ? brady : no , no , but when she does , i want to be ready for her . ben : what 's going on ? [ sighs ] hey , dad , it 's me . uh , you remember that app you were telling me about , the one that could track abigail 's phone without her knowing about it ? yeah , what 's it called ? yeah , i - i know did n't -- i know i said i did n't want any part of it , but i just talked to her and i just -- i ca n't shake the feeling that there 's something going on with her . something she does n't want to tell me about . abigail : i did not come here to do it again , as you so crudely put it , chad . i came here to tell you that it was a mistake and that it is never going to happen again . chad : oh , well , that 's fine by me . i got what i wanted . abigail : excuse me ? chad : i came back to salem with one goal in mind : to prove to myself that after everything that happened between you and ej , you still wanted me . and you do . badly . abigail : i do n't believe that . do you -- do you really expect me to believe that , chad ? that you -- that -- that -- that happened just because you were trying to get even with me ? chad : well , it was kind of pathetic how obvious you were . i mean , how many times did you come up with some lame excuse to find me or be alone with me ? i think my favorite one was the time you were pretending to comfort me when i lost my sister , right , the sister that you hated . i guess i could have been easier on you and just given you what you wanted right away , but the whole game was just -- just kind of flattering to me . abigail : flattering ? chad , you said that you loved me . chad : no , i said whatever i needed to say to get you into bed , abigail . i mean , well , it did actually take awhile to get into a bed . you know , you are a lot more adventurous than the last time i had you . did ej teach you all that stuff ? abigail : stop it ! i do n't know what you think that you are doing , but this -- chad : okay , well then , let me spell it out for you . you dumped me , you went after my brother , it got written up in a magazine for everybody to read about . do you have any idea how humiliating that was for me ? abigail : [ sighs ] chad : well , now i 've done the same thing to you , only i wo n't run and tell your mommy or your little brother or your bumpkin boyfriend that abigail is still just a little bit of a slut . living with chronic migraine jennifer : hey . how are you holding up ? jj : okay , i guess . i 'm hanging out with rory later . jennifer : good . jj : who 's the present for ? jennifer : uh , i just got a beautiful scarf for your grandmother for her birthday . i 'm just gon na put it from all of us . jj : well , i 'll send her a card . jennifer : oh , i have a card right here . but you know , you can put a separate note in it . she would love that more than a present . jj : you 're so good to her . you take care of all of us . jennifer : well , that 's really sweet of you to say that , but we both know it 's not true . jj : yes , it is . jennifer : no , it 's not . the truth is , i have failed you . across the board , jj . eve : you , uh ... you -- you startled me . paige : what are you up to now ? eve : well , i 'm not up to anything , sweetheart , but it 's so good to see you , i -- paige : save it , okay ? and do n't call me sweetheart ever again . i know whatever comes out of your mouth is a lie . eve : well , not the fact that i love you and i -- and i 'm sorry that -- paige : shut up . just shut up and listen , okay ? i only stopped by because i saw you and i have one last thing to say . and then ... you and i are done for good . jj : you told me every step of the way that i could lose paige . but i just could n't let her go . that 's why i ended up lying . it has nothing to do with what you said . jennifer : yes , but i -- jj : all i could think about was that i had another chance with paige , mom . jennifer : but i led you to think that . jj : no , you did n't . jennifer : yes . jj : no , you did n't . i was already there . and now paige is all alone , and i did that . me . and i have to live with that . jennifer : you seem a lot more resigned to that than the last time we talked . jj : i think i 'm finally starting to get it through my thick head that i 've lost paige . forever . theresa : hi . brady : hi , glad you could make it . theresa : hi , hello , doctor . hi , how 's tate ? can i see him now ? doctor : oh , the nurse will be bringing him up in an hour , then you can spend the rest of the night with him here and take him home in the morning . theresa : that 's the best news i 've ever heard . brady : so everything is okay with him ? doctor : you need to stop worrying . start to enjoy a happy , healthy baby boy . all right ? brady : all right , will do . theresa : you know , to be honest , i 'm actually kind of nervous about bringing him home . brady : mm . look , i 'm glad we have some extra time because we can use it to get a few things straight . chad : what are you getting so worked up about ? you said you came here to end this . what 'd you expect me to do , fall apart and beg you to stay with me ? abigail : why are you being so cruel ? chad : 'cause i am a dimera , honey . cruel is in our dna . stefano : what the hell do you think you are doing ? ortho home defense gives you year long control paige : i got the check you sent me to cover my tuition at stanford . eve : that 's great , sweetheart , good . paige : when i told you i did n't want anything to do with you , i was talking about your money , too . eve : honey ... it -- it 's too late for you to apply for financial aid , i mean . how do you plan on paying for your tuition now ? paige : oh , beats me . maybe i just wo n't go . eve : okay , wait -- wait a minute . i know that you 're angry and that you hate me right now , but do n't be ridiculous , sweetheart . come on , i had to fight jennifer tooth and nail to get the money for you to go to stanford . paige : oh , do not give me that -- no , no , no -- nothing you ever did was for me , okay ? you stuck it to mrs. horton because it was fun for you . eve : oh , no , just -- please , just let me do this one thing for you , please ? paige : why , so you can go around bragging about how you have a daughter at stanford ? well , forget it , okay ? you do n't have a daughter anymore . i do n't want anything to do with you . eve : honey ... come on , you -- you -- you ca n't mean that . paige : oh -- yeah -- i -- i 'll show you how much i mean it . you know that stupid cell phone you gave me so that you can , you know , run my life ? i 'm going to block your calls . eve : come on , just stop it . paige : do n't you touch me ! eve : no -- just listen to me , listen to me , paige . you 've got to believe me , i never wanted you to go back with jj . that was all jennifer 's -- it was her idea . paige : you slept with him , mom . you knew i loved him and you slept with him anyway . who the hell cares why you said you wanted us to get back together ? just ... forget the phone . do n't call me . ever . we 're done . eve : none of this would have happened if it had n't been for jennifer horton . none of it . jj : the surprise party . paige is telling everyone what happened . throwing the cake on the floor . an idiot would have realized that it was over right then , but i was worse than an idiot until today . jennifer : what happened ? jj : i tried to get daniel to talk to paige for me , but he turned me down and said that it was n't his place . jennifer : i 'm sorry , honey . jj : no , it was the right thing to do . but then i realized that if -- if daniel could n't back me up , then there 's just no hope . jennifer : oh , honey . jj : and as i was leaving daniel 's , i ran into paige . and -- and i thought that maybe time would change how she felt about me , but it did n't . she hates me more than ever . and theresa said the same thing . jennifer : how do you know that ? jj : oh , she was here right before you got home . jennifer : what ? jj : yeah , she stopped by to rub it in . she 's loving this . jennifer : gosh , i can not believe that she was here . jj : you know what , mom ? it 's me . if i had n't done what i did , paige would n't hate me , and theresa would n't have anything to talk about . i did something so stupid that i lost paige forever . jennifer : honey ... i know how hard this is , okay ? but acceptance is the beginning of healing , all right , and i know you 're in a lot of pain , but it 's gon na get better . i promise you , it is . jj : i 'm sorry , mom , but i just do n't see that happening . i , uh ... i 'm gon na get going . try not to worry about me . theresa : is this about melanie leaving ? brady : no , theresa , this is about us . theresa : who 's that ? brady : this is pam . pam is a notary and her services are gon na be helpful today . theresa : wait -- a notary , why ? brady : because , theresa , we have a couple issues we need to settle , just legal issues . theresa : here , now ? brady : right here and right now . chad : what am i doing ? something private , something personal , and something that is none of your damn business . stefano : you deliberately humiliated her . chad : i told her the truth . stefano : now you are a liar , because you love her , for goodness sake . you told me so yourself ! chad : love is overrated . i 'm young , i am rich , and i am powerful . why in the world would i want to tie myself down to just one woman , pops ? stefano : you idiot . you intentionally drove her away and you did it to defy me ! abigail : hi , ben , i 'm so sorry i kept you waiting . ben : hey , it 's no big deal . abigail : [ sighs ] ben : you all right ? abigail : i , uh ... brady : we can have privacy in here -- theresa : yeah , no , we 're not gon na have any privacy with her here . and you know what , i 'll get -- get this straight , okay . i am not signing any sort of custody agreement without my lawyer present . brady : you want some coffee or anything ? theresa : did you just hear me ? brady : yes , i did . i did hear you , and i want you to understand that i realize that i was wrong to pressure you into an agreement before . it 's not gon na happen again . theresa : damn straight , it wo n't . brady : and as far as sharing custody of tate , we will take care of that tomorrow . we 'll talk about living arrangements , child support , everything , all right ? theresa : yeah , as long as i have my attorney present . brady : absolutely . you 'll be able to confer with your attorney as much as you want to . theresa : okay , so what 's all this notary business about , hmm ? brady : i had aiden jennings write up a simple legal agreement , theresa . it states that for the first year of tate 's life , you and i agree to remain in salem . theresa : oh . brady : i assume since melanie is gone that you would n't have a problem with that . theresa : well , um ... i suppose not . brady : good . sign it . rory : all right , so i got this cousin in chicago and he says that we can crash there anytime we want . dude , this is like planning summer fun with debbie downer . have a beer , lighten up . jj : damn it . man : you , uh ... you looking for this ? i was hoping you 'd come back for it . [ chuckles ] jj : who the hell is that ? rory : oh , dude , you should have been here . that guy , he was hitting on paige earlier and she , like , totally shot him down . i guess he does n't know when to give up . paige : i guess i did n't make myself clear . there is n't a chance in hell that i would ever , ever go out -- jj : all right , get lost . excuse me , get lost , pal . she 's not interested . man : hey , okay , all right , man . ca n't blame a guy for trying , right ? so , uh , yeah . honey , just call me . jj : okay , i - i know you do n't want me around , but i just could n't let that guy bother you like that . paige : no , jj , it 's all right , i appreciate it . jj : really ? paige : yes . thank you so much for rescuing me from a really uncomfortable situation . jj : well , i 'm glad that i could help . paige : me too . i mean , ugh , so gross , right ? i mean , he was probably as old as my father . hooking up with someone his age would be , like , totally disgusting . right ? eve : well , i see you stopped off at the ice cream store . jennifer : just keep walking . eve : is it rocky road ? i know that 's your son 's favorite . jennifer : jj is out of your life and paige is , so why do n't you just forget that you ever knew him , okay ? eve : well , it 's hard to forget someone you 've known so , uh ... intimately . jennifer : you are such a disgusting pig . do n't you ever talk about my son again , and if you think you are gon na get him mixed up in your web again , it 's never gon na happen , not in a million years , because he never wants to see you again . eve : well , you know , jennifer , he kept telling me that , but the funny thing is , he just kept coming back for more . jennifer : i 'm telling you right now , if you ever hurt my son again , i promise you , i will destroy you . eve : jj 's not the one i 'm after ... you sanctimonious bitch . chad : why do n't you walk me through how ending things with abigail defies you . stefano : you are a very stubborn young man . chad : because i wo n't let you dictate my love life ? stefano : that is not what i am doing . i told you what i want -- chad : yeah , yeah , i know . you just want me to be happy . because i 'm the only child you have left and you do n't want to repeat the mistakes you made with your other children . is n't that how it goes ? well , if all you want is my happiness , and it makes me happy to end things with abigail , then why do you care ? you see what i 'm saying here ? stefano : [ sighs ] abigail : i 'm sorry . i did n't mean to just fall apart like that . [ clears throat ] ben : what 's going on ? abigail : it 's just ... it 's just this thing with jj , you know , he 's so ... he 's so miserable and his life is just such a mess and i ... he 's just reminding me of all the mistakes i 've made , and i ... i do n't know what 's wrong with me .

[ brooke laughing ] brooke : goodness . it 's so cold out there . nick : oh , here . take a look out here . i just want to -- i want to warn you , see there 's a little -- little fog coming in . brooke : is it bad ? brooke : no , that 's okay . nick : good . rick : amber , i really think this is gon na solve the problem . amber : pissing deacon off ? rick : no . getting macy out of the picture . amber : he 's not gon na stop seeing her just 'cause she ca n't see his kids . rick : well , maybe she 'll lose interest in him if the kids are the only attraction . amber : that 's not it . rick : how do you know , amber ? what , because macy said so ? mom 's right . she 's not gon na admit it , not even to herself . look , macy just had a hysterectomy . she feels like mom robbed her of her only chance to have a family . remember when we lost our little boy ? how we felt like we had lost our chance ? how far would you have gone to get that chance back ? macy : you 're not -- you 're not suggesting -- deacon : ca n't get a restraining order against a member of the family . ca n't have that . macy : a member of the family ? deacon : my family . my kids ' family . and you would n't just be some second - class citizen . macy : this -- this is crazy . this is crazy . deacon : no , no , it 's not . macy , it 's not . think about it . listen to me , you 've turned my life around . macy : but -- deacon : think about that for a second , how amazing that is . you turned my life around . hell , you might have saved it . macy : i just made you realize – deacon : you made me realize i need my kids , and you made me realize i need you . i was at a place in my life where i 'd just about lost faith . and that 's a scary place to be . i had nothing left to fight for . and here you come , fightin ' mad over things that got nothing to do with you . you go barreling in , taking care of my kids and me . that took guts . macy : it was n't like it was a choice that i made , deacon . deacon : no , that 's just who you are . thank god that 's who you are . and i would have to be an idiot not to grab onto you and just hold on with everything i 've got . macy : you would n't be saying this if it was n't for that restraining order . deacon : maybe not . none of that changes the fact -- that i love you . i want you to marry me , macy . ridge : yes , i 'll be home for dinner . yeah , well , it turns out she has other plans . yeah . all right , catherine . i 'll see you soon . brooke : it 's getting worse . nick : yeah . well , hopefully it 'll lift pretty soon . you all right ? brooke : it 's kind of creepy . nick : well , you can look at it that way . brooke : and you do n't ? nick : no . i love this . this is the sea . like a ghost ship . brooke : like i said , it 's kind of creepy . nick : come over here . just listen . nothing . it 's just all your own thoughts . put your -- look at that . you can barely see your own hand . that means there 's nobody out here but you . and me . that 's not creepy , is it ? it 's a night like this that -- that 's when the magic begins .
nick sees his mom on his boat straightening up his clothes , etc . she says she 's doing it 'cause he has a big date with brooke and she likes her ! she leaves and throws his bag of dirty socks to him . amber gets home and finds shock in the fact rick & brooke issued macy a restraining order . she thinks it 's a bad idea 'cause it will push deacon even more to get his kids . she likes macy and thinks she 's not out for revenge on brooke . brooke & rick think the opposite . rick finally gets amber alone and convinces her things will be o.k . ridge knows about brooke 's date 'cause rick told him earlier . he thinks that 's not a problem ! deacon & macy talk then kiss . she 's served the restraining order ( as i said before ) . they 're both upset and deacon calls his lawyer . then he tells macy that brooke & rick are the only ones behind this and they will not get away with it ! macy knows this means they think she 's a threat to his kids . they do n't want to stay away from each other but they have to . deacon finally thinks of a brilliant idea : they ca n't restrain her if she 's mrs. deacon sharpe ! she wants him to get serious but he is ! he says he loves her and she 's wonderful to his kids . he asks her to marry him ! then they kiss !

john can not figure out who would be shooting at him and at todd or why . todd gets rushed to the hospital . john is also there and acts out of obligation when he finds out that natalie and brody have taken baby liam to the hospital afraid he was sick . they both protest to him that they are not doing anything behind his back and that natalie loves him . but he is completely cold and business like to both of them . dorian stays at viki 's home waiting for charlie to return back from telling echo he will never see him again or else she ( dorian ) will tell viki what charlie and echo have been doing behind her back . charlie tells echo that he has to be there for viki and for jessica . meanwhile , dorian attempts to tell viki she has to work on her marriage and know that charlie is there for her . however , she does tell viki she knows there may be something going on in that charlie `` needs to be needed `` when viki is not asking him for emotional support the way echo is . and goes back to see echo and confirms to her that he told dorian he 'd break it off with her so dorian would leave him alone . but he lied . and he kisses echo . tess appears outside the door and watches them unseen .

[ scene_break ] jay : it 's a common skin condition of infancy . natalie : yeah . i just thought maybe he had the measles or something . his face got so red . jay : that 's caused by the exposure to the mother 's hormones during pregnancy . some kids have a reaction . most do n't . brody : okay , so it 's nothing to worry about ? jay : oh , it 'll be gone before you know it . natalie : so in other words , i totally wasted your time . jay : no , not at all . sometimes a rash can indicate something more serious , so i 'm glad you brought him in . natalie : thank you so much , dr. gangemi . jay : sure . no problem . natalie : oh , boy . yeah , he 's asleep . brody : we did the right thing . you heard the doctor . natalie : yeah . listen , thank you . thank you for driving us over here . i think i would 've been a basket case if i had to do this by myself . brody : i wanted to be here . i know what you 're thinking . it should 've been john . natalie : well , it 's not . he 's not . it 's starting to look like he never will be . so i guess you 're the only father that liam has now .

[ scene_break ] charlie : when i was kissing you , i think it 's safe to say that `` good - bye `` was the last thing on my mind . echo : me , too . but then you said that dorian gave you an ultimatum . that you were supposed to break things off with me or she was going to tell viki about the one night we had together . and she 'll do it , too , you know . she lives for that kind of thing . charlie : yeah , i know . and i hate giving dorian that kind of control over my life . echo : there is another option . charlie : what 's that ? echo : leave your wife .

[ scene_break ] [ gunfire ] john : son of a bitch . [ scene_break ] viki : dorian , i think you 've got a point . i mean , i 've been trying to shield charlie , so he probably does feel that i 'm excluding him . the way he excluded me when he found out about rex and went off by himself . dorian : i suggest you not make it so easy for him to shut down and shut you out this time . viki : he did n't turn to drinking then , so he probably wo n't go to alcohol this time , either . dorian : he 's an alcoholic . there are other things he can turn to besides alcohol .

[ scene_break ] sharon : i 'm really sorry that nick went to you when he saw us together . i told him that that was none of his business . adam : faith is his daughter . he has absolutely no reason to trust me , but he should trust you . when he threatens to get in between you two , it irks me . i was there . i was in between you and faith . i hated myself for it . but since then [ sighs ] i have gained quite a bit of insight on what it 's like to lose a child . nicholas should know better . but it 's his default position . when he sees us together , he puts faith in the middle . that will never change , whether or not you 're staying at my place or not . sharon : i 'm not gon na lose another second with her . adam : nor should you , but your place is in no condition to live in . you need to stay somewhere . i have room . it 's only temporary . i do n't see how nicholas could object to this . sharon : well , and then it 's not just the issue of nick . adam : oh , you 're afraid i 'd be too clever , charming , witty , ruggedly handsome , however could you resist me ? sharon : i 'm not sure i could . but there 's chelsea , and she just moved out , and it might be -- adam : chelsea did move out . that 's right . she left me . she left the house . so there 's even more room there . so my offer stands , and i meant what i said . i would give you your space . i would basically completely ignore you until i saw you at work . sharon : it would be a relief not to have to rent a room at this place again . [ sighs ] okay , fine . i 'm moving in with you . adam : okay . done deal . you 're moving in . sharon : [ chuckles ] adam : you 're doing this today ? sharon : i ca n't . i promised faith that i would take her on a hike . adam : a hike ? it 's freezing outside . sharon : i know , but we 're all gon na be all bundled up . adam : all two of you are gon na be bundled up ? sharon : i mean including dylan . see , faith invited dylan . i 'm really just a tagalong . adam : that makes sense . she is his biggest fan . you know what ? more hikes with him , please , 'cause the longer he takes to get this job done , the longer you 're stuck at my place . sharon : being ignored by you . adam : relentlessly .

dylan : michael , it sounds like that you 're hanging your whole defense on getting this tire iron thrown out . what happens if you ca n't ? michael : i will . look , you and avery did n't just compromise the chain of evidence . you obliterated it . there 's no proof it 's a murder weapon . it 's just this thing you use to change a tire . dylan : with sharon 's fingerprints on it and austin 's blood . michael : though , weirdly , no fingerprints in blood . how 'd that happen ? blood here , fingerprints here . that 's a coincidence . it 's almost as if one of the 2,000 people who had access to it before you put it into evidence set it up to make it look like sharon committed murder . dylan : do you believe that 's true ? michael : i think i can possibly convince a jury that it might be true . that 's all we need . the tire iron will be tossed , and without it , the state will have to fold its case . if sharon did n't kill austin , what was her motivation for murdering courtney ? dylan : michael , i 'm glad that you have confidence in your ability , but -- michael : look , i have a viable scenario for getting my client acquitted . what would you rather me do -- dream up worst - possible - case scenarios ? dylan : can you just humor me , okay ? what if the tire iron remains in evidence ? then what ? what ? michael : then i will find some way to create reasonable doubt . i 'll come up with another suspect and point the finger at them . dylan : okay . like who ? michael : like i do n't know at the moment ! dylan : i 'm not a lawyer . i know that . but it seems to me like we should be trying to prove that sharon 's being framed before this ever gets to trial . michael : yeah , you know , ideally , yes -- you 're right . ideally , we should be able to snap our fingers , find the real murderer , get all the charges tossed . but you know what ? the clock is ticking , and all of the state 's evidence points straight at sharon . sharon : what are you saying , michael -- that i 'm a lost cause ? avery : well , please let them know i 'm not taking on any new clients at this time . thank you . joe : you know , you should n't have done that . avery : why ? i have all the cases i can handle right now . joe : yeah , if you were n't here spending all this time with me . avery : joe , i am exactly where i want to be . joe : listen , i just do n't want you to sacrifice your work for me , avery . avery : it 's not a sacrifice . i have plenty of work . i do n't need any more . now , before my assistant called , you were about to give me an update . joe : yeah . well , if you 're wondering if i can wiggle my toes yet , no such luck . but i did tell the doctor i 'm not gon na fight his decision of moving me to chicago to that fancy nursing home he wants to put me in . avery : it 's not a nursing home . it is a state - of - the - art clinic that specializes in spinal injuries . i checked it out . it 's an excellent facility . joe : yeah , great . i 'll be popping wheelies in that chair in no time , but that 's probably as far as i 'm gon na go . avery : you do n't know that . you have to keep an open mind . you could have a real breakthrough there . joe : you know , i 'm not expecting any miracles . [ sighs ] look , i only brought it up 'cause i 'm hoping you can help me with something while i 'm gone . avery : of course . anything . joe : i need you to pack up my apartment . avery : why ? are n't you planning on coming back to genoa city ? lily : i miss seeing you during the day . cane : me , too . so , lauren has this , uh , big shipment of specialty items coming for the boutique for this display , and i thought that i would come here and surprise you first -- spend some time with my beautiful wife . lily : aww , so sweet . cane : yeah , 'cause we do n't get any time together since i took that job . lily : how 'bout this ? why do n't we -- when you 're done , we 'll cut out early and have some dinner and then we can get home before the sitter has to leave . cane : i would love that . it has been forever since we 've had some time together . lily : yes , it has . [ chuckles ] jill : so ... lauren is working you to the bone , is she ? well , honey , you know what people say -- careful what you wish for . hilary : ca n't avoid me forever . devon : watch me . hilary : devon ... i told you that i still love you . you really have nothing to say to that ? devon : what do you expect me to say to it ? hilary : okay . then ... just answer me one question . do you still love me ? devon : what does it matter how i feel ? hilary : it matters to me . it 's everything to me . devon ... you 're the best thing that 's ever happened to me , okay ? and i never stopped loving you , and i just -- i ca n't lose you forever . devon : i would have given anything to hear you say that after the plane crash . but instead , you told me that you did n't love me , and you told me that you used me and that the only thing you cared about was money and revenge . you have any idea how that made me feel ? and here you are , switching your story up again . hilary : i 'm telling the truth . devon : even if you are telling the truth , what am i supposed to say -- `` everything 's forgiven `` ? `` let 's get back together `` ? that 's what you -- i mean , i 'm not a light switch . hilary : right . i know i screwed it all up . but that was part of the plan . i was -- i was trying to ... fix things between you and neil . devon : and you could n't figure out a way to do that and be honest with me ? you could n't figure out another way to save my dad without sleeping with the man who was prosecuting him ? and i 'm supposed to ignore that , like it never happened ? cane : you know how it is when you start a new job . things will settle down soon enough . colin : you better hope it does n't . otherwise , it 'll mean you 're tanking . jill : you 're in the retail business now . the hours are brutal , and that 's on a good day . lily : well , at least he 's not coming home frustrated every night , the way he was before . colin : then i 'm glad i suggested the change . obviously , it 's gon na be good for you . cane : well , i 'm sure your wife enjoys sitting on the throne at chancellor all by herself . jill : [ chuckles ] all kidding aside , though , is this the right move ? helping lauren in our family business -- is that enough for you ? cane : you know , so far , i find it rewarding . lauren is trusting of me . she is receptive to my ideas . it 's actually like having a real partnership . jill : [ chuckles ] cane : i could n't be happier . sharon : i need to know . was i right when i said that i might as well be guilty ? is it already over for me ? michael : sharon , i never said that . sharon : but from what i just heard , i do n't have a prayer . michael : have n't we had this conversation before , many times ? you 're always jumping to the worst possible outcome , and it is n't helpful . sharon : but if you do n't think i can win -- michael : look , i always play to win , sharon . [ cell phone rings ] michael : [ sighs ] look , dylan and i were running through some scenarios . you happened to come in during the worst case . that 's it . that 's what happened . now , look ... why do n't we just take a deep breath and try not to get so worked up ? sharon : when a lawyer as good as you starts talking about running out of time , how do you expect me to feel ? do you expect for me to remain calm when i could be going to prison for the rest of my life ? ! [ knock on door ] dylan : michael and i were just kicking around some options and figuring out how to frame your defense , and i was pressing him pretty hard . he 's very confident that he can handle this , but , of course , there 's gon na be obstacles , so there 's no , really , any reason for you to be losing hope . sharon : well , that 's easy for you to say . you 're not the one who 's going to be locked up for the rest of your life for double murder . lauren : i did knock . i - i just came by to see how things are going over here . sharon : well , now you have your answer . michael : i think we can all use a break . dylan : a break would be good . michael : yeah . have you been to lunch ? why do n't i take you to lunch ? lauren : no , i have n't . that would be so great . michael : we will talk more later , all right ? dylan : [ sighs ] sharon : i really ca n't take any more of your false hope . go on ! get out ! joe : yeah , i have n't decided if i 'm coming back . who knows what the future holds ? avery : i understand that , but , j -- joe : look , no one 's told me how long i 'm gon na be there , all right ? and i do n't expect this to be a short trip , so it 's just better we put my stuff in storage , i get out of my lease , and be done with it . it 's one less thing to worry about . avery : well , i think it 's better if you wait . you 'll be more motivated if you have a home to come back to . joe : yeah , well , i would n't call it a home . it was more like a place to crash . look , i 'm sorry to burden you with this . i just do n't have anyone else to ask . avery : you 're not burdening me . i am happy to help . joe : thank you . i appreciate that . avery : and there 's something else that i 'd like to do for you . joe : no , no . you 've already done -- avery : i heard you out . now it 's my turn . starting tomorrow , you 're gon na be in a new place with new doctors , and that 's bound to be overwhelming . and i thought , if you 'd like , i could come with you . hilary : i 'm not asking you to ignore the things i did , but if you could try to understand -- i blame myself for neil unraveling and for the damage it caused to your relationship . after neil found out that i betrayed him , i 've brought nothing but pain to all of your lives . devon : you did n't betray my father on your own . hilary : yeah , but i know that you did everything you could to make amends . so , when i saw an opportunity to do the same , i took it , okay ? and , look , it paid off . and if seducing winston was the only way to keep neil safe from prison , well , so be it . i have no regrets . devon : how do you expect us to get past this ? hilary : now that neil 's safe ... and everything 's out in the open , ca n't you at least try ? is n't there some small chance ... that we could find our way back to each other ? lauren : i 'm sorry i walked in to sharon 's when i did , but , michael -- michael : there 's no reason to apologize . lauren : it must be very taxing , living in such a tense environment . michael : it was a bad moment . that 's all . dylan will get sharon to calm down . there 's no reason for you to worry . colin : hey , mike , hear you 're holed up at the ranch . jill : he has a needy client . how 'd you manage to escape ? michael : lauren busted me out . it was perfect timing , too . i needed a lunch break . lauren : speaking of lunch , you know that reporter we were supposed to meet tomorrow ? she is gon na take the red eye back to new york tonight , so we need to meet her for dinner . is that okay ? cane : tonight ? lauren : yeah . does that work for you ? cane : actually -- lily : it 's fine . we 'll go another time . cane : no , no , no . lily : it 's fine . cane : no . i do n't want to cancel on you , baby . i do n't want to cancel . no . lauren : it 's fine . i 'll take the meeting by myself . do n't worry about it . michael : no . did n't you tell me that getting that interview was a big deal ? it 's a national magazine . lily : oh . you did n't tell me that . michael : do n't want to stick my nose in , but i think it would be good for you to be a part of it -- talk up your new role at fenmore 's . lily : you know what ? michael 's right . the publicity will be good for you , so ... yeah . cane : you sure ? lily : i am sure . cane : okay . all right . we 're on . i 'll be there . lauren : terrific . thank you so much , lily . lily : you 're welcome . joe : incredibly generous of you , but i ca n't ask you to uproot your life . avery : you did n't ask . i 'm offering . i think it would be good for you to have someone there during this transition -- someone to advocate for you and run errands , especially if you think you 're gon na be there a while . and considering i 'm the reason you 're in this predicament -- joe : that 's not true , okay ? i ... i do n't want to hear you say that again . avery : the point is you should n't have to do this alone . and i am going on a short trip out of town . it 's hardly uprooting my life . besides which , i talked to your doctor the other day . joe : about me ? avery : yes , about you and about how one person ... offering support can really make a difference at a time like this . do you agree with barton ? do you think it would make a difference if i were to go with you for the first week or two at the clinic ? joe : yeah . it 'd be really nice to have you there . avery : then it 's settled . joe : no . it 's not . you -- i have n't agreed . you have n't even spoken to dylan yet , have you ? come on . how is your fiancé gon na feel about this ? sharon : i told you to leave . dylan : you should n't be alone when you 're like this . sharon : like what -- a realist ? i can see my future spreading out in front of me , and it 's not pretty . dylan : sharon , will you just please listen -- sharon : i do n't have an alibi for either of these murders . you found a tire iron with my fingerprints on it very close to where the police found austin 's body , and then you searched the trunk of my car . oh , lo and behold , there 's courtney 's necklace . paul thinks i had motive to kill both of them , and the press -- you know what ? if they had their way , i 'm sure the state of wisconsin would reinstate the death penalty just for me ! there is no way i am going to get out of this , and if you believe otherwise , then you are the fool ! dylan : you know what ? you 're right ! you 're right ! the evidence against you is overwhelming , but i 've been working my butt off to prove that you 're innocent and to keep you from giving up ! but now i realize -- i realize why you 're panicked , why you believe michael ca n't win -- not because you 're being framed but because you 're guilty ! you 're the killer ! sharon : excuse me ? what did you just say ? you told me that you believed me . now , all of a sudden , i 'm a murderer ? dylan : are n't you ? sharon : no . and why would you accuse me of this ? you know me . you know i would never do anything like this . yeah , i 've done some crazy things in my life before , but i would never take someone 's life . and , by the way , there 's no way that a lawyer as great as michael baldwin is gon na let me get convicted of this . he 's gon na tear that d.a . 's case to shreds . he even told me that the evidence they have against me is so weak , i should have never been arrested in the first place . dylan : [ chuckles softly ] sharon : why are you smiling ? dylan : because that 's the sharon who 's gon na beat these charges -- the feisty sharon , the one sure of herself , not the one having another meltdown , wallowing in negativity . sharon : [ sighs ] dylan : look , i 'm sorry if i threw you there for a second , but i 'm happy you reacted this way . sharon : well , that makes one of us . god ! my heart sank when you said those things . i thought i 'd just lost my last friend . dylan : you can not let these doubts overwhelm you and act like your fate is already sealed . come on . you got to stay mad at whoever 's trying to frame you . man , if the press could see the way you were just now , they 'd be convinced you 're innocent , too . i mean , that 's what we need to do . we need to get more people on our side , including the jury , but you have to keep fighting . you have to do your part . that 's the way we can win this . devon : hilary , you put on an act so that my father and i would think we 'd been had , and it worked like a charm , because we truly believe that you were out to just destroy our family . and now there 's hope for me and neil . but we will never reconcile our relationship if i get involved with you again . you understand that ? hilary : yeah , i understand . um ... i was just hoping that -- never mind . um ... you know what ? i said what i needed to say , so i should , um ... i should just go . devon : yeah , i think you should . lauren : are you gon na continue to do that ? michael : looking at the specials ? lauren : second - guess me at work . michael : how did i second - guess you ? lauren : by pressuring cane to join me for that interview tonight . michael : cane is your new second - in - command . it 's good p.r . lauren : yes , but you made him cancel his plans with his wife , and i actually think it 's lovely that he wants to spend time with her . michael : [ chuckles ] i get it -- unlike me . lauren : ever since you moved in to sharon 's house , you have , um -- you 've called me a few times when you knew i would n't be able to answer . you 've texted me . that 's not exactly what i would call `` making an effort , `` michael . michael : i made a major commitment when i promised to stay with sharon and act as her guardian . lauren : and i 'm still trying to figure out why . michael : it was the only way to keep her out of jail . lauren : and a great way to hide . michael : from what ? lauren : from me and from your oncologist . you have been avoiding both of us . dr. jain called and left a message at the house . would you like to tell me why you missed your last appointment ? michael : i 'll reschedule . lauren : i hope that you do . you look like hell , michael . michael : it 's just bad lighting . lauren : you 've been burning the candle at both ends . you are not taking care of yourself . i hope you are continuing with your hormone therapy . michael : yes . lauren : you 're not lying to me , are you ? michael : i would n't lie about that . lauren : well , then , why does it feel like you are holding something back ? michael : [ chuckles ] there you go again , insisting that there 's some ulterior motive to my being out of touch . i have a big case ! a woman 's life hangs in the balance . i 'm not avoiding you . i 'm working . and i refuse to let this disease keep me from doing my job , and you will not treat me like a child . and i will not have you grilling me about every decision i make ! lauren : well , excuse me . excuse me for caring . cane : hey , uh , you guys okay ? lauren : we 're fine . cane : well , i thought you 'd want to know that the delivery has arrived , so when you 've finished your lunch , lauren , just shoot me a text . we 'll go through the boxes together . lauren : no . no , no , no . please . let 's do it now . we all know that work comes first . avery : i hope i 'm not interrupting anything . dylan : uh , what 's up ? avery : joe 's being transferred tomorrow to a rehab facility in chicago . he 's gon na be there for a while , and , uh , i would like to accompany him just to get him settled . dylan : whose idea was that -- yours or joe 's ? avery : mine , and i knew that you might have an issue with it . dylan : how am i supposed to respond to this ? avery : for now , just listen , okay ? dylan : okay . avery : dylan , if you could see joe right now ... this accident has changed him . his spirit is completely broken , and he should n't have to face what he 's about to by himself . if i go , it 's just for a - a week , just to get him settled . dylan : yeah . i get it . just -- yeah . you need to help the guy . avery : [ sighs ] dylan , thank you so much for understanding . dylan : just let me know how it goes . take care . avery : i will . it 's just gon na be a few days . dylan ... i love you . dylan : i love you , too . joe : well , i 'm assuming he said no ? avery : well , you assume wrong . dylan is okay with my going . sharon : i can tell you 're not really okay with this . dylan : it 's gon na happen whether i like it or not . and avery 's accepted that i want to be here for you , so ... sharon : so you gave her the answer she was hoping to hear instead of telling her the truth . dylan : why do you say it like that ? sharon : you just unloaded on me for not being true to myself . maybe you need to take some of your own advice . go to avery . tell her how you really feel . jill : what 's going on with you and lauren ? michael : nothing . jill : ha ! you have a fight in the middle of a public restaurant and nothing 's going on , hmm ? michael : allow me to clarify . nothing that 's your business . jill : oh , allow me to clarify . you and lauren are my family , which makes it my business . you are pushing her away . why are you doing that ? michael : i understand how it might appear that way , but i have a client who is facing an uphill battle , and i need to focus on her defense . jill : oh . by moving in with her ? michael : it was a condition of sharon 's bail . jill : look , i realize that she is a flight risk , okay ? but why are you the appointed babysitter ? michael : because , `` a , `` i believe sharon to be innocent , and , `` b , `` i need her to stay calm . is that so hard to believe ? jill : well , normally , it would n't be , but normally you would n't be struggling with what you 're struggling with . michael : you know what ? my treatment has been very successful so far , so thank you very much . jill : no , i know . that 's wonderful . why are n't you celebrating with your wife , michael ? michael : excuse me . jill : no , no , no . that woman has stuck with you through thick and thin , okay ? and now , if you 're feeling so much better , why are n't you whisking her away on a romantic vacation , huh ? why are you burying yourself in your work and insisting that she do the same thing ? now let 's just cut through the bull . what is going on in that head of yours ? colin : i could n't help noticing earlier your reaction when cane started going on about lauren . lily : my reaction ? colin : yeah -- how you so graciously put aside your plans so that he could dine with her . lily : and a reporter . it 's for business . colin : yeah , well , i think you 're a little more upset than you 're letting on . lily : i 'm not gon na deny that i wish we could spend more time together , but he 's excited about his new job , so i 'm happy for him . colin : spoken like the devoted wife that i know you are . however , things got a little rocky there for a while -- him withholding the truth about devon and hilary . that shook things up . i 'm still not sure that you 're back on solid ground . lily : we 're getting there . colin : but while you 're getting there , you do n't want other people getting in the way . it 's easy for a husband to be distracted when things are a little messy at home . lily : if you 're implying that cane could be looking at lauren as any more than a friend and business associate -- colin : lily , i 'm not implying anything about my son . lauren -- that 's another matter . cane : i knew you had great taste , but these items you ordered are beautiful . lauren : oh , thank you . i 'm really happy with them , too [ scoffs ] with the exception of this . i was n't expecting this at all , you know ? i asked the buyer for south seas elegance , and he sends me this ? [ voice breaking ] i do n't know how he could be so disappointing to me . [ sighs ] this is not the way it 's supposed to be . i 'm sorry . [ inhales deeply ] [ exhales sharply ] avery : i thought that dylan would be here . sharon : no . i 'm home by myself . avery : oh . that surprises me . i would assume between dylan and michael , you would never be left to your own devices . sharon : i 'm under house arrest . i know the rules . i do n't need to be put under constant surveillance , but because you think that i 'm guilty and i committed those murders , you think i need to be under heavy guard . avery : it does n't matter what i think , sharon . you 'll have your day in court , and the truth will come out . sharon : i have been accused of murder before , and you handled my appeal , and you believed in me . avery : i was proud to be your defense counsel . but i 've gotten to know you a lot better since then . joe : yeah , avery ... just stepped out . i imagine you 're looking for her , but i 'm glad you stopped by . we have n't had an honest conversation since i wound up here . dylan : that 's a good point . so , why do n't we get a few things straight ? devon : what are you doing things , and i wo n't let it end like that . [ knock on door ] devon : what are you doing here ? hilary : i 've been thinking about the way that we left things , and i wo n't let it end like that . michael : i 'm still coming to terms with what i 'm going through , and sometimes i need some space . lauren is too focused on my illness to see that . i 'm sure she means well . jill : [ laughing ] `` i 'm sure she means well `` ? that 's real generous of you . michael : you know what i mean . jill : i do . i know what you mean . i 'm sure that her concern and her questions can be stifling sometimes . michael : give the lady a cigar . jill : but here 's the trouble . to your wife , it must seem like the two of you are drifting apart . michael : you know , i get upset . lauren and i have words , and i wind up feeling like i 'm bringing her down , which is why i 'm encouraging her to focus on fenmore 's , which i know she loves . jill : yeah , she does . michael : and she 's found a great new friend in cane . jill : yes , and cane has been through a similar experience , yeah . michael : well , thank you for understanding . jill : here 's what i do n't understand . if you can explain all of this to me so beautifully , so calmly and rationally , why ca n't you explain it to lauren instead of avoiding her and biting her head off , michael ? michael : you 're right . i owe her an apology . now , if you 'll excuse me ... jill : yes , i will excuse you . aww . lily : cane and lauren ? really ? do n't be ridiculous . colin : do i need to remind you that this is not the first time lauren has cheated on michael ? lily : their marriage was under a huge strain back then . colin : unlike now . lily : this is a completely different situation . colin : look , sweetheart , pain is pain . if she 's upset with michael , she might start looking for another shoulder to cry on , and lauren is nothing if not an alluring woman . you might keep a close eye on your husband . lauren : forgive me . sorry . cane : there 's nothing to forgive . lauren : [ sighs ] i do n't want to get into a big discussion about it , but , um , obviously , michael and i are not exactly in the best place right now . cane : oh , really ? is that what it is ? i thought you did n't like the merchandise . lauren : [ chuckles ] [ laughing ] you know what ? maybe we should box this up before i strangle somebody with it . cane : whoa . as long as you do n't strangle me , it 's okay . lauren : no . i could never do that . are you kidding ? [ laughs ] but , honestly , what is this ? cane : let 's put this back in the box . come here . lauren : oh , please . i do n't even want to wrap it . cane : do you have any tape ? lauren : just throw it out . forget it . joe : avery said you did n't have a problem with her taking me to chicago , but i know how i 'd feel if i were you , so i imagine you 're here to put me on notice . dylan : i do n't trust you , and i never will . joe : well , i ca n't blame you . yeah , i 've been a real ass . i did everything i could to stay close to avery , to win her back . playing games , manipulating to goad you into losing your temper so that you look like the fool . everything that you accuse me of , i did . i even put the moves on her on that balcony in one last chance to win her back . now look where it got me . dylan : why are you telling me all this now ? joe : you know , no need to pretend anymore . after that fall , everything changed , and i know now that ... avery will never be mine . dylan : [ sighs ] sharon : you know me better ? what does that mean ? avery : really , sharon , i do n't want to get into this right now . sharon : no , no . you ca n't bring up something like that and not expect me to be curious . so , you 're saying if you knew me then like you do now , you would have never represented me ? avery : i 'm saying it would have been difficult to generate excitement about defending you . sharon : so , then , you would have just let me hang for skye 's murder . you know , looking back , that would have been an acceptable outcome for you , because i would be locked up and out of the way . avery : you would have found a different attorney . sharon : well , that 's not the point . you 're supposed to be the celebrated champion of the wrongly accused , and yet you find me so repugnant , you would n't care if i were found guilty ? i think that makes you a hypocrite . avery : well , maybe it does , sharon . you know what ? what you think about me means nothing to me . unfortunately , two men that i care about very much are determined to keep you out of jail , so , yes , i hope you are found not guilty for their sake ! sharon : so , you do n't think that i really did it , because you would n't be standing here alone with someone you thought had committed a double homicide . avery : you 're right . i do n't think you did it . but i also did n't think that you were capable of burning down the newman ranch , and i did n't think you were capable of falsifying summer 's paternity . you know what ? if you hear from dylan , just tell him that i want to -- sharon : wait a minute . you 're so smug . you think you know everything . you 're wrong about me , and you do n't have a clue about your fiancé . avery : okay , i do n't care what you have to say about my fiancé . sharon : you 're all about the truth coming out , right ? you know why dylan went to look for you ? because he wanted to tell you the truth . he really is n't okay with you going on this trip with your ex , joe . you heard what you wanted to hear . it was obvious by his tone that he was upset . avery : you make it sound like i 'm running off on some romantic tryst with joe . do you understand i 'm going to a rehab center that specializes in spinal injuries ? sharon : joe 's a big boy . he 'll be surrounded there by people who can take good care of him . he does n't need you there holding his hand , unless it 's really not about joe . maybe -- avery : sharon , i am warning you , do not say what you 're about to say . sharon : maybe you have been lying to everyone all along and it 's really your ex , joe , who you want , not dylan . avery : [ scoffs ] colin : my son and lauren are getting a little too cozy . i said as much to lily . jill : oh , honey , i wish you had n't done that . colin : what , tell her the truth ? jill : no . it -- cane is so happy to have lily back , i doubt he 'd look at another woman . colin : maybe he would n't . jill : but lauren would ? michael did make it sound like he thought that she 'd be happier in cane 's company than his own . colin : you do n't think that he 's pushing her into cane 's arms ? jill : of course not . that 'd be crazy . lily : hey . sorry to barge in . since you did n't mind , i decided to take my husband to dinner after all , so ... cane : is that okay , boss ? lauren : of course it is . you have fun . and i 'll make sure that that reporter knows how valuable you are to me already . cane : you are the best , and you know that , right ? lauren : i do . i do . go have fun . cane : okay . all right . well -- lauren : you want to hand me the box first ? cane : yeah . devon : i thought i made it clear to you that we ca n't go back to the way things were . hilary : okay , i know we ca n't go back . but maybe we can be friends . devon : how do you think that 's possible ? hilary : i want you to try , devon . okay ? [ voice breaking ] you are the love of my life . i want you near me , however i can have you . dylan : you understand that i 'm having a hard time believing that 's what you really want , right ? joe : you know , it may not be what i want , but it 's what i have to accept . all right ? avery 's only coming with me out of guilt and pity . i see it in her eyes . dylan , you 're the one that she wants . and as much as you 've hated me , you 've never lost faith in avery , knowing that she 's gon na come back to you , because what you two have is real . look , i do n't want this trip to cause any trouble . if you want me to tell avery to stay here , just say the word . dylan : she makes her own decisions . [ sighs ] avery : you 'd love it if i wanted joe , would n't you ? you 're thrilled to have dylan constantly running over here , being your white knight . sharon : well , why would you care ? you 're practically living by joe 's bedside . avery : you 're the one who ca n't go two minutes without a man to lean on . you drove nick away . now you 're latching on to his brother , which i guess is no surprise there , given your obsession with the men in this family . you 've gone through them all -- adam , even victor ! sharon : you bitch ! avery : go ahead . violate your parole . assault me . michael : avery ! sharon ! avery : give dylan a break ! michael : ladies , pl -- avery : michael ? both : oh , my god . [ next_on ] victor : you do as i tell you , and you better behave when we go to dinner . you got that ? neil : oh , you did a damn good job pretending like you were dating my son while he was cheating with my wife . sharon : if i 'm to blame for what our children are going through right now , then so the hell are you !
at the hospital , joe and avery discuss his treatment options and going to a rehab center . joe mentions not coming back to genoa city . this takes avery by surprise . at the athletic club , cane and lily spend some quiet time together as they kiss . they discuss the new items for the boutique that were just arriving today . jill and colin join them . at the coffeehouse , hilary tells devon that she meant it when she told him that she loved him and asks him if he loves her . devon asks her why it matters how he feels after she slept with the ada . at sharon 's home , michael , dylan , and sharon discuss her defense but michael becomes frustrated when sharon will not try to defend herself . lauren interrupts them to take michael away for a while . sharon tells dylan that if he feels that she is guilty , then he should just leave too . avery tells joe to wait before putting his things in storage until he sees how he does in rehab . avery offers him her help when he goes to the rehab clinic and asks if he would like her to go with him . hilary tries to explain to devon why she did the things she did when she was with neil and afterwards in sleeping with the ada . as they walk into the athletic club , lauren apologizes to michael for taking him out of sharon 's for awhile . michael admits that he needed a break . jill , colin , cane , and lily join them . lauren tells cane that they are due to meet a client for dinner that night but soon finds out that cane has plans with lily . lily encourages cane to go the dinner meeting . when sharon insists that she is guilty of all charges , dylan proposes that maybe she is feeling this way because she is guilty .
<s>[INST] dylan : michael , it sounds like that you 're hanging your whole defense on getting this tire iron thrown out . what happens if you ca n't ? michael : i will . look , you and avery did n't just compromise the chain of evidence . you obliterated it . there 's no proof it 's a murder weapon . it 's just this thing you use to change a tire . dylan : with sharon 's fingerprints on it and austin 's blood . michael : though , weirdly , no fingerprints in blood . how 'd that happen ? blood here , fingerprints here . that 's a coincidence . it 's almost as if one of the 2,000 people who had access to it before you put it into evidence set it up to make it look like sharon committed murder . dylan : do you believe that 's true ? michael : i think i can possibly convince a jury that it might be true . that 's all we need . the tire iron will be tossed , and without it , the state will have to fold its case . if sharon did n't kill austin , what was her motivation for murdering courtney ? dylan : michael , i 'm glad that you have confidence in your ability , but -- michael : look , i have a viable scenario for getting my client acquitted . what would you rather me do -- dream up worst - possible - case scenarios ? dylan : can you just humor me , okay ? what if the tire iron remains in evidence ? then what ? what ? michael : then i will find some way to create reasonable doubt . i 'll come up with another suspect and point the finger at them . dylan : okay . like who ? michael : like i do n't know at the moment ! dylan : i 'm not a lawyer . i know that . but it seems to me like we should be trying to prove that sharon 's being framed before this ever gets to trial . michael : yeah , you know , ideally , yes -- you 're right . ideally , we should be able to snap our fingers , find the real murderer , get all the charges tossed . but you know what ? the clock is ticking , and all of the state 's evidence points straight at sharon . sharon : what are you saying , michael -- that i 'm a lost cause ? avery : well , please let them know i 'm not taking on any new clients at this time . thank you . joe : you know , you should n't have done that . avery : why ? i have all the cases i can handle right now . joe : yeah , if you were n't here spending all this time with me . avery : joe , i am exactly where i want to be . joe : listen , i just do n't want you to sacrifice your work for me , avery . avery : it 's not a sacrifice . i have plenty of work . i do n't need any more . now , before my assistant called , you were about to give me an update . joe : yeah . well , if you 're wondering if i can wiggle my toes yet , no such luck . but i did tell the doctor i 'm not gon na fight his decision of moving me to chicago to that fancy nursing home he wants to put me in . avery : it 's not a nursing home . it is a state - of - the - art clinic that specializes in spinal injuries . i checked it out . it 's an excellent facility . joe : yeah , great . i 'll be popping wheelies in that chair in no time , but that 's probably as far as i 'm gon na go . avery : you do n't know that . you have to keep an open mind . you could have a real breakthrough there . joe : you know , i 'm not expecting any miracles . [ sighs ] look , i only brought it up 'cause i 'm hoping you can help me with something while i 'm gone . avery : of course . anything . joe : i need you to pack up my apartment . avery : why ? are n't you planning on coming back to genoa city ? lily : i miss seeing you during the day . cane : me , too . so , lauren has this , uh , big shipment of specialty items coming for the boutique for this display , and i thought that i would come here and surprise you first -- spend some time with my beautiful wife . lily : aww , so sweet . cane : yeah , 'cause we do n't get any time together since i took that job . lily : how 'bout this ? why do n't we -- when you 're done , we 'll cut out early and have some dinner and then we can get home before the sitter has to leave . cane : i would love that . it has been forever since we 've had some time together . lily : yes , it has . [ chuckles ] jill : so ... lauren is working you to the bone , is she ? well , honey , you know what people say -- careful what you wish for . hilary : ca n't avoid me forever . devon : watch me . hilary : devon ... i told you that i still love you . you really have nothing to say to that ? devon : what do you expect me to say to it ? hilary : okay . then ... just answer me one question . do you still love me ? devon : what does it matter how i feel ? hilary : it matters to me . it 's everything to me . devon ... you 're the best thing that 's ever happened to me , okay ? and i never stopped loving you , and i just -- i ca n't lose you forever . devon : i would have given anything to hear you say that after the plane crash . but instead , you told me that you did n't love me , and you told me that you used me and that the only thing you cared about was money and revenge . you have any idea how that made me feel ? and here you are , switching your story up again . hilary : i 'm telling the truth . devon : even if you are telling the truth , what am i supposed to say -- `` everything 's forgiven `` ? `` let 's get back together `` ? that 's what you -- i mean , i 'm not a light switch . hilary : right . i know i screwed it all up . but that was part of the plan . i was -- i was trying to ... fix things between you and neil . devon : and you could n't figure out a way to do that and be honest with me ? you could n't figure out another way to save my dad without sleeping with the man who was prosecuting him ? and i 'm supposed to ignore that , like it never happened ? cane : you know how it is when you start a new job . things will settle down soon enough . colin : you better hope it does n't . otherwise , it 'll mean you 're tanking . jill : you 're in the retail business now . the hours are brutal , and that 's on a good day . lily : well , at least he 's not coming home frustrated every night , the way he was before . colin : then i 'm glad i suggested the change . obviously , it 's gon na be good for you . cane : well , i 'm sure your wife enjoys sitting on the throne at chancellor all by herself . jill : [ chuckles ] all kidding aside , though , is this the right move ? helping lauren in our family business -- is that enough for you ? cane : you know , so far , i find it rewarding . lauren is trusting of me . she is receptive to my ideas . it 's actually like having a real partnership . jill : [ chuckles ] cane : i could n't be happier . sharon : i need to know . was i right when i said that i might as well be guilty ? is it already over for me ? michael : sharon , i never said that . sharon : but from what i just heard , i do n't have a prayer . michael : have n't we had this conversation before , many times ? you 're always jumping to the worst possible outcome , and it is n't helpful . sharon : but if you do n't think i can win -- michael : look , i always play to win , sharon . [ cell phone rings ] michael : [ sighs ] look , dylan and i were running through some scenarios . you happened to come in during the worst case . that 's it . that 's what happened . now , look ... why do n't we just take a deep breath and try not to get so worked up ? sharon : when a lawyer as good as you starts talking about running out of time , how do you expect me to feel ? do you expect for me to remain calm when i could be going to prison for the rest of my life ? ! [ knock on door ] dylan : michael and i were just kicking around some options and figuring out how to frame your defense , and i was pressing him pretty hard . he 's very confident that he can handle this , but , of course , there 's gon na be obstacles , so there 's no , really , any reason for you to be losing hope . sharon : well , that 's easy for you to say . you 're not the one who 's going to be locked up for the rest of your life for double murder . lauren : i did knock . i - i just came by to see how things are going over here . sharon : well , now you have your answer . michael : i think we can all use a break . dylan : a break would be good . michael : yeah . have you been to lunch ? why do n't i take you to lunch ? lauren : no , i have n't . that would be so great . michael : we will talk more later , all right ? dylan : [ sighs ] sharon : i really ca n't take any more of your false hope . go on ! get out ! joe : yeah , i have n't decided if i 'm coming back . who knows what the future holds ? avery : i understand that , but , j -- joe : look , no one 's told me how long i 'm gon na be there , all right ? and i do n't expect this to be a short trip , so it 's just better we put my stuff in storage , i get out of my lease , and be done with it . it 's one less thing to worry about . avery : well , i think it 's better if you wait . you 'll be more motivated if you have a home to come back to . joe : yeah , well , i would n't call it a home . it was more like a place to crash . look , i 'm sorry to burden you with this . i just do n't have anyone else to ask . avery : you 're not burdening me . i am happy to help . joe : thank you . i appreciate that . avery : and there 's something else that i 'd like to do for you . joe : no , no . you 've already done -- avery : i heard you out . now it 's my turn . starting tomorrow , you 're gon na be in a new place with new doctors , and that 's bound to be overwhelming . and i thought , if you 'd like , i could come with you . hilary : i 'm not asking you to ignore the things i did , but if you could try to understand -- i blame myself for neil unraveling and for the damage it caused to your relationship . after neil found out that i betrayed him , i 've brought nothing but pain to all of your lives . devon : you did n't betray my father on your own . hilary : yeah , but i know that you did everything you could to make amends . so , when i saw an opportunity to do the same , i took it , okay ? and , look , it paid off . and if seducing winston was the only way to keep neil safe from prison , well , so be it . i have no regrets . devon : how do you expect us to get past this ? hilary : now that neil 's safe ... and everything 's out in the open , ca n't you at least try ? is n't there some small chance ... that we could find our way back to each other ? lauren : i 'm sorry i walked in to sharon 's when i did , but , michael -- michael : there 's no reason to apologize . lauren : it must be very taxing , living in such a tense environment . michael : it was a bad moment . that 's all . dylan will get sharon to calm down . there 's no reason for you to worry . colin : hey , mike , hear you 're holed up at the ranch . jill : he has a needy client . how 'd you manage to escape ? michael : lauren busted me out . it was perfect timing , too . i needed a lunch break . lauren : speaking of lunch , you know that reporter we were supposed to meet tomorrow ? she is gon na take the red eye back to new york tonight , so we need to meet her for dinner . is that okay ? cane : tonight ? lauren : yeah . does that work for you ? cane : actually -- lily : it 's fine . we 'll go another time . cane : no , no , no . lily : it 's fine . cane : no . i do n't want to cancel on you , baby . i do n't want to cancel . no . lauren : it 's fine . i 'll take the meeting by myself . do n't worry about it . michael : no . did n't you tell me that getting that interview was a big deal ? it 's a national magazine . lily : oh . you did n't tell me that . michael : do n't want to stick my nose in , but i think it would be good for you to be a part of it -- talk up your new role at fenmore 's . lily : you know what ? michael 's right . the publicity will be good for you , so ... yeah . cane : you sure ? lily : i am sure . cane : okay . all right . we 're on . i 'll be there . lauren : terrific . thank you so much , lily . lily : you 're welcome . joe : incredibly generous of you , but i ca n't ask you to uproot your life . avery : you did n't ask . i 'm offering . i think it would be good for you to have someone there during this transition -- someone to advocate for you and run errands , especially if you think you 're gon na be there a while . and considering i 'm the reason you 're in this predicament -- joe : that 's not true , okay ? i ... i do n't want to hear you say that again . avery : the point is you should n't have to do this alone . and i am going on a short trip out of town . it 's hardly uprooting my life . besides which , i talked to your doctor the other day . joe : about me ? avery : yes , about you and about how one person ... offering support can really make a difference at a time like this . do you agree with barton ? do you think it would make a difference if i were to go with you for the first week or two at the clinic ? joe : yeah . it 'd be really nice to have you there . avery : then it 's settled . joe : no . it 's not . you -- i have n't agreed . you have n't even spoken to dylan yet , have you ? come on . how is your fiancé gon na feel about this ? sharon : i told you to leave . dylan : you should n't be alone when you 're like this . sharon : like what -- a realist ? i can see my future spreading out in front of me , and it 's not pretty . dylan : sharon , will you just please listen -- sharon : i do n't have an alibi for either of these murders . you found a tire iron with my fingerprints on it very close to where the police found austin 's body , and then you searched the trunk of my car . oh , lo and behold , there 's courtney 's necklace . paul thinks i had motive to kill both of them , and the press -- you know what ? if they had their way , i 'm sure the state of wisconsin would reinstate the death penalty just for me ! there is no way i am going to get out of this , and if you believe otherwise , then you are the fool ! dylan : you know what ? you 're right ! you 're right ! the evidence against you is overwhelming , but i 've been working my butt off to prove that you 're innocent and to keep you from giving up ! but now i realize -- i realize why you 're panicked , why you believe michael ca n't win -- not because you 're being framed but because you 're guilty ! you 're the killer ! sharon : excuse me ? what did you just say ? you told me that you believed me . now , all of a sudden , i 'm a murderer ? dylan : are n't you ? sharon : no . and why would you accuse me of this ? you know me . you know i would never do anything like this . yeah , i 've done some crazy things in my life before , but i would never take someone 's life . and , by the way , there 's no way that a lawyer as great as michael baldwin is gon na let me get convicted of this . he 's gon na tear that d.a . 's case to shreds . he even told me that the evidence they have against me is so weak , i should have never been arrested in the first place . dylan : [ chuckles softly ] sharon : why are you smiling ? dylan : because that 's the sharon who 's gon na beat these charges -- the feisty sharon , the one sure of herself , not the one having another meltdown , wallowing in negativity . sharon : [ sighs ] dylan : look , i 'm sorry if i threw you there for a second , but i 'm happy you reacted this way . sharon : well , that makes one of us . god ! my heart sank when you said those things . i thought i 'd just lost my last friend . dylan : you can not let these doubts overwhelm you and act like your fate is already sealed . come on . you got to stay mad at whoever 's trying to frame you . man , if the press could see the way you were just now , they 'd be convinced you 're innocent , too . i mean , that 's what we need to do . we need to get more people on our side , including the jury , but you have to keep fighting . you have to do your part . that 's the way we can win this . devon : hilary , you put on an act so that my father and i would think we 'd been had , and it worked like a charm , because we truly believe that you were out to just destroy our family . and now there 's hope for me and neil . but we will never reconcile our relationship if i get involved with you again . you understand that ? hilary : yeah , i understand . um ... i was just hoping that -- never mind . um ... you know what ? i said what i needed to say , so i should , um ... i should just go . devon : yeah , i think you should . lauren : are you gon na continue to do that ? michael : looking at the specials ? lauren : second - guess me at work . michael : how did i second - guess you ? lauren : by pressuring cane to join me for that interview tonight . michael : cane is your new second - in - command . it 's good p.r . lauren : yes , but you made him cancel his plans with his wife , and i actually think it 's lovely that he wants to spend time with her . michael : [ chuckles ] i get it -- unlike me . lauren : ever since you moved in to sharon 's house , you have , um -- you 've called me a few times when you knew i would n't be able to answer . you 've texted me . that 's not exactly what i would call `` making an effort , `` michael . michael : i made a major commitment when i promised to stay with sharon and act as her guardian . lauren : and i 'm still trying to figure out why . michael : it was the only way to keep her out of jail . lauren : and a great way to hide . michael : from what ? lauren : from me and from your oncologist . you have been avoiding both of us . dr. jain called and left a message at the house . would you like to tell me why you missed your last appointment ? michael : i 'll reschedule . lauren : i hope that you do . you look like hell , michael . michael : it 's just bad lighting . lauren : you 've been burning the candle at both ends . you are not taking care of yourself . i hope you are continuing with your hormone therapy . michael : yes . lauren : you 're not lying to me , are you ? michael : i would n't lie about that . lauren : well , then , why does it feel like you are holding something back ? michael : [ chuckles ] there you go again , insisting that there 's some ulterior motive to my being out of touch . i have a big case ! a woman 's life hangs in the balance . i 'm not avoiding you . i 'm working . and i refuse to let this disease keep me from doing my job , and you will not treat me like a child . and i will not have you grilling me about every decision i make ! lauren : well , excuse me . excuse me for caring . cane : hey , uh , you guys okay ? lauren : we 're fine . cane : well , i thought you 'd want to know that the delivery has arrived , so when you 've finished your lunch , lauren , just shoot me a text . we 'll go through the boxes together . lauren : no . no , no , no . please . let 's do it now . we all know that work comes first . avery : i hope i 'm not interrupting anything . dylan : uh , what 's up ? avery : joe 's being transferred tomorrow to a rehab facility in chicago . he 's gon na be there for a while , and , uh , i would like to accompany him just to get him settled . dylan : whose idea was that -- yours or joe 's ? avery : mine , and i knew that you might have an issue with it . dylan : how am i supposed to respond to this ? avery : for now , just listen , okay ? dylan : okay . avery : dylan , if you could see joe right now ... this accident has changed him . his spirit is completely broken , and he should n't have to face what he 's about to by himself . if i go , it 's just for a - a week , just to get him settled . dylan : yeah . i get it . just -- yeah . you need to help the guy . avery : [ sighs ] dylan , thank you so much for understanding . dylan : just let me know how it goes . take care . avery : i will . it 's just gon na be a few days . dylan ... i love you . dylan : i love you , too . joe : well , i 'm assuming he said no ? avery : well , you assume wrong . dylan is okay with my going . sharon : i can tell you 're not really okay with this . dylan : it 's gon na happen whether i like it or not . and avery 's accepted that i want to be here for you , so ... sharon : so you gave her the answer she was hoping to hear instead of telling her the truth . dylan : why do you say it like that ? sharon : you just unloaded on me for not being true to myself . maybe you need to take some of your own advice . go to avery . tell her how you really feel . jill : what 's going on with you and lauren ? michael : nothing . jill : ha ! you have a fight in the middle of a public restaurant and nothing 's going on , hmm ? michael : allow me to clarify . nothing that 's your business . jill : oh , allow me to clarify . you and lauren are my family , which makes it my business . you are pushing her away . why are you doing that ? michael : i understand how it might appear that way , but i have a client who is facing an uphill battle , and i need to focus on her defense . jill : oh . by moving in with her ? michael : it was a condition of sharon 's bail . jill : look , i realize that she is a flight risk , okay ? but why are you the appointed babysitter ? michael : because , `` a , `` i believe sharon to be innocent , and , `` b , `` i need her to stay calm . is that so hard to believe ? jill : well , normally , it would n't be , but normally you would n't be struggling with what you 're struggling with . michael : you know what ? my treatment has been very successful so far , so thank you very much . jill : no , i know . that 's wonderful . why are n't you celebrating with your wife , michael ? michael : excuse me . jill : no , no , no . that woman has stuck with you through thick and thin , okay ? and now , if you 're feeling so much better , why are n't you whisking her away on a romantic vacation , huh ? why are you burying yourself in your work and insisting that she do the same thing ? now let 's just cut through the bull . what is going on in that head of yours ? colin : i could n't help noticing earlier your reaction when cane started going on about lauren . lily : my reaction ? colin : yeah -- how you so graciously put aside your plans so that he could dine with her . lily : and a reporter . it 's for business . colin : yeah , well , i think you 're a little more upset than you 're letting on . lily : i 'm not gon na deny that i wish we could spend more time together , but he 's excited about his new job , so i 'm happy for him . colin : spoken like the devoted wife that i know you are . however , things got a little rocky there for a while -- him withholding the truth about devon and hilary . that shook things up . i 'm still not sure that you 're back on solid ground . lily : we 're getting there . colin : but while you 're getting there , you do n't want other people getting in the way . it 's easy for a husband to be distracted when things are a little messy at home . lily : if you 're implying that cane could be looking at lauren as any more than a friend and business associate -- colin : lily , i 'm not implying anything about my son . lauren -- that 's another matter . cane : i knew you had great taste , but these items you ordered are beautiful . lauren : oh , thank you . i 'm really happy with them , too [ scoffs ] with the exception of this . i was n't expecting this at all , you know ? i asked the buyer for south seas elegance , and he sends me this ? [ voice breaking ] i do n't know how he could be so disappointing to me . [ sighs ] this is not the way it 's supposed to be . i 'm sorry . [ inhales deeply ] [ exhales sharply ] avery : i thought that dylan would be here . sharon : no . i 'm home by myself . avery : oh . that surprises me . i would assume between dylan and michael , you would never be left to your own devices . sharon : i 'm under house arrest . i know the rules . i do n't need to be put under constant surveillance , but because you think that i 'm guilty and i committed those murders , you think i need to be under heavy guard . avery : it does n't matter what i think , sharon . you 'll have your day in court , and the truth will come out . sharon : i have been accused of murder before , and you handled my appeal , and you believed in me . avery : i was proud to be your defense counsel . but i 've gotten to know you a lot better since then . joe : yeah , avery ... just stepped out . i imagine you 're looking for her , but i 'm glad you stopped by . we have n't had an honest conversation since i wound up here . dylan : that 's a good point . so , why do n't we get a few things straight ? devon : what are you doing things , and i wo n't let it end like that . [ knock on door ] devon : what are you doing here ? hilary : i 've been thinking about the way that we left things , and i wo n't let it end like that . michael : i 'm still coming to terms with what i 'm going through , and sometimes i need some space . lauren is too focused on my illness to see that . i 'm sure she means well . jill : [ laughing ] `` i 'm sure she means well `` ? that 's real generous of you . michael : you know what i mean . jill : i do . i know what you mean . i 'm sure that her concern and her questions can be stifling sometimes . michael : give the lady a cigar . jill : but here 's the trouble . to your wife , it must seem like the two of you are drifting apart . michael : you know , i get upset . lauren and i have words , and i wind up feeling like i 'm bringing her down , which is why i 'm encouraging her to focus on fenmore 's , which i know she loves . jill : yeah , she does . michael : and she 's found a great new friend in cane . jill : yes , and cane has been through a similar experience , yeah . michael : well , thank you for understanding . jill : here 's what i do n't understand . if you can explain all of this to me so beautifully , so calmly and rationally , why ca n't you explain it to lauren instead of avoiding her and biting her head off , michael ? michael : you 're right . i owe her an apology . now , if you 'll excuse me ... jill : yes , i will excuse you . aww . lily : cane and lauren ? really ? do n't be ridiculous . colin : do i need to remind you that this is not the first time lauren has cheated on michael ? lily : their marriage was under a huge strain back then . colin : unlike now . lily : this is a completely different situation . colin : look , sweetheart , pain is pain . if she 's upset with michael , she might start looking for another shoulder to cry on , and lauren is nothing if not an alluring woman . you might keep a close eye on your husband . lauren : forgive me . sorry . cane : there 's nothing to forgive . lauren : [ sighs ] i do n't want to get into a big discussion about it , but , um , obviously , michael and i are not exactly in the best place right now . cane : oh , really ? is that what it is ? i thought you did n't like the merchandise . lauren : [ chuckles ] [ laughing ] you know what ? maybe we should box this up before i strangle somebody with it . cane : whoa . as long as you do n't strangle me , it 's okay . lauren : no . i could never do that . are you kidding ? [ laughs ] but , honestly , what is this ? cane : let 's put this back in the box . come here . lauren : oh , please . i do n't even want to wrap it . cane : do you have any tape ? lauren : just throw it out . forget it . joe : avery said you did n't have a problem with her taking me to chicago , but i know how i 'd feel if i were you , so i imagine you 're here to put me on notice . dylan : i do n't trust you , and i never will . joe : well , i ca n't blame you . yeah , i 've been a real ass . i did everything i could to stay close to avery , to win her back . playing games , manipulating to goad you into losing your temper so that you look like the fool . everything that you accuse me of , i did . i even put the moves on her on that balcony in one last chance to win her back . now look where it got me . dylan : why are you telling me all this now ? joe : you know , no need to pretend anymore . after that fall , everything changed , and i know now that ... avery will never be mine . dylan : [ sighs ] sharon : you know me better ? what does that mean ? avery : really , sharon , i do n't want to get into this right now . sharon : no , no . you ca n't bring up something like that and not expect me to be curious . so , you 're saying if you knew me then like you do now , you would have never represented me ? avery : i 'm saying it would have been difficult to generate excitement about defending you . sharon : so , then , you would have just let me hang for skye 's murder . you know , looking back , that would have been an acceptable outcome for you , because i would be locked up and out of the way . avery : you would have found a different attorney . sharon : well , that 's not the point . you 're supposed to be the celebrated champion of the wrongly accused , and yet you find me so repugnant , you would n't care if i were found guilty ? i think that makes you a hypocrite . avery : well , maybe it does , sharon . you know what ? what you think about me means nothing to me . unfortunately , two men that i care about very much are determined to keep you out of jail , so , yes , i hope you are found not guilty for their sake ! sharon : so , you do n't think that i really did it , because you would n't be standing here alone with someone you thought had committed a double homicide . avery : you 're right . i do n't think you did it . but i also did n't think that you were capable of burning down the newman ranch , and i did n't think you were capable of falsifying summer 's paternity . you know what ? if you hear from dylan , just tell him that i want to -- sharon : wait a minute . you 're so smug . you think you know everything . you 're wrong about me , and you do n't have a clue about your fiancé . avery : okay , i do n't care what you have to say about my fiancé . sharon : you 're all about the truth coming out , right ? you know why dylan went to look for you ? because he wanted to tell you the truth . he really is n't okay with you going on this trip with your ex , joe . you heard what you wanted to hear . it was obvious by his tone that he was upset . avery : you make it sound like i 'm running off on some romantic tryst with joe . do you understand i 'm going to a rehab center that specializes in spinal injuries ? sharon : joe 's a big boy . he 'll be surrounded there by people who can take good care of him . he does n't need you there holding his hand , unless it 's really not about joe . maybe -- avery : sharon , i am warning you , do not say what you 're about to say . sharon : maybe you have been lying to everyone all along and it 's really your ex , joe , who you want , not dylan . avery : [ scoffs ] colin : my son and lauren are getting a little too cozy . i said as much to lily . jill : oh , honey , i wish you had n't done that . colin : what , tell her the truth ? jill : no . it -- cane is so happy to have lily back , i doubt he 'd look at another woman . colin : maybe he would n't . jill : but lauren would ? michael did make it sound like he thought that she 'd be happier in cane 's company than his own . colin : you do n't think that he 's pushing her into cane 's arms ? jill : of course not . that 'd be crazy . lily : hey . sorry to barge in . since you did n't mind , i decided to take my husband to dinner after all , so ... cane : is that okay , boss ? lauren : of course it is . you have fun . and i 'll make sure that that reporter knows how valuable you are to me already . cane : you are the best , and you know that , right ? lauren : i do . i do . go have fun . cane : okay . all right . well -- lauren : you want to hand me the box first ? cane : yeah . devon : i thought i made it clear to you that we ca n't go back to the way things were . hilary : okay , i know we ca n't go back . but maybe we can be friends . devon : how do you think that 's possible ? hilary : i want you to try , devon . okay ?

carly shows up at the memorial service for brad , notices jack is hurting deeply and tries to offer him support . craig and rosanna believe brad 's death proves how fleeting love can be and how precious life is . katie is grieving by herself and struggling desperately with getting through this , as brad and henry watch . brad pleads with an unknowing katie that he is next to her and that she needs to see him , but all she can see is henry , who she rails at again . margo , craig and rosanna take katie home , as brad tries to come up with a plan while he enlists henry 's help , who is none to happy about it . jack and carly talk about her rehab stay and how she is back for good . carly says something that strikes a nerve and jack wants to change the subject so they head inside the church , but everyone is gone . katie offers liberty a few things of brad and words of comfort as well while liberty continues to be cryptically bitter about what she found out about jack . brad wills himself through a door to spend time with a distraught katie , as he touches her face he is sure that katie felt something . however , henry , who wants to check on her , interrupts them , but katie has nothing to say to him . brad is irate because henry interrupted them . later they talk about vienna and how henry owes him to make this right . janet catches up with jack , who is still unforgiving of himself . he tells her that he saw carly , but did not tell her what she has in store because he has learned that he has no right to cast stones when it comes to craig since he is no better now . rosanna and craig are coming home when they are stunned to find carly there . carly tells craig that they need to talk but when carly takes a call from sage , craig urges rosanna to let carly break up with him since that is what she is obviously doing so she can save face . instead , carly tells craig that she needs to give him his ring back because she answered when she was drunk . his love and friendship got her through rehab , she wants him to ask her to marry her again the proper way , and she will say yes , as rosanna and craig are stunned . jack tells margo the truth about drinking the night of brad 's death and then turns in his gun and badge . liberty is still angry about jack and parker wants her to say whatever she has been hinting at , as janet warns her not to do this , but liberty tells parker that jack was drinking when brad got shot . a hurt parker does n't believe her and heads off to find out the truth . jack goes to see katie and tells her the truth about the night of brad 's death , as she still does n't blame him citing the fact that she knows him and he would n't have been there if he had been impaired . she tries to absolve him of his guilt , but jack leaves with a heavy heart . brad continues to urge henry to help him because if he has to sell his soul , he wants to come back to life to be with his wife ; he is here for a reason and henry needs to help him with what it is . jack watches liberty and janet talk unknown to them and then leaves janet a note . janet later gets it saying that he loves her , but he needs to go away to somehow make peace with what he did . standing alone in her house , katie calls out to brad wondering if he is there . craig is thrown when carly admits that she wants to start over with him and get married the right way , as rosanna is stunned . parker interrupts and is thrilled to see his mom home . carly tells him that she is happy that things are finally how they should be , as parker remarks that they have not told his mother . a clueless carly wonders what he is talking about , as craig and rosanna look nervous and guilty .

[ scene_break ] emily : dillon grew up without ever really knowing his father . he saw lulu 's pregnancy as a chance to make up for that , to be the father he never had . nikolas : and luke was never much of a father to lulu . see , i think that 's why lucky was resisting the abortion so much , because he thinks that luke is just looking for the quick fix , like he always does . emily : so you 're afraid that if luke tries to intervene with lucky , lucky 's just going to see it as luke trying to get back at him ? nikolas : well , given luke 's own history with substance abuse , i do n't think he 's the best person to be giving advice on overcoming an addiction . emily : he could be the perfect person . he might be an example of what lucky might become if he does n't clean up his life . i mean , of course , we 'd all have to tell luke that he 's going to be used as a cautionary tale when we ask him to confront lucky . nikolas : that might work . let 's see . nikolas : tracy ? hello , it 's nikolas cassadine . is luke there ? what do you mean , `` not for long `` ? oh . thank you . emily : what 's wrong ? nikolas : luke 's leaving town . emily : now ? nikolas : hey , what better time ? i mean , his son 's wrecking his life and his daughter just had an abortion . what is it going to take for him to finally realize that his children need him in their lives ? what 's it going to take ? emily : laura . your mother was the only person that ever had any sort of influence over luke . i mean , i ca n't imagine him denying her much of anything , no matter what the sacrifice . nikolas : i wish that my mother were an option , but she 's not . emily : okay . all right . um -- you know what ? then we 'll just -- we 'll keep trying . we wo n't stop until we get lucky into treatment . nikolas : you 're amazing . you never give up hope , do you ? i 'm really glad that you 're still in my life . emily : me , too .

[ sighs ] you know , you and i go back quite a ways , tony . but you and kristen go back even further . so i 'm thinking if you locate her , then you can get her to leave me alone . tony : well , i have n't the foggiest idea how to get in touch with her .

[ tape rewinds ] okay . although i have cut ties permanently with my husband , i have full power of attorney . i do not believe that these recent charges will be proven . i do believe he 's innocent , and he will be exonerated . oh , come on , do n't look at me like that . just because i have a heart does n't mean that i 've lost my killer instinct . stefan : hm . well ... neither have i . [ tense music ] tony : i am certainly not lying . kate : oh , come on . tony : how would i know where kristen is ? kate : well , i 'll tell you what -- you can start by going back to your devoted wife 's room here . tony : what ? kate : yeah . yeah , because i 'm not the only one who saw kristen . maggie swears she saw kristen open the door to nicole 's room . tony : you 're joking . kate : no , i 'm not joking . i mean , she was drunk at the time , but still , it happened . tony : well then ... kate : well then . if nicole and kristen are hanging out , there is no way that you would n't know about it . especially after returning from ten years of playing dead to help nicole take over dimera , something you know that kristen would want to do . maybe kristen and nicole teamed up in the warehouse . huh ? so you need to tell me the truth . are you working with kristen ? kristen as nicole : [ chuckles ] i am gon na go take a shower . brady : i 'll be right there . kristen as nicole : oh ? brady : yeah . [ grunts ] [ water pouring ] [ dramatic music ] when did you get this ? kristen : after my swan dive in italy . it 's meant to signify my rebirth spiritually and physically . brady : mm .

rex asks adriana to `` be nice `` to gigi . she does as he asks but gigi does n't buy it . meanwhile , dorian and layla are on their mission and have found brody lovett ( or so they hear ) , as adriana has demanded they do . he informs them that he was with gigi many years ago and has known all this while and that he conceived shane with gigi . dorian and layla inform adriana and she rushes to find brody in the hopes of `` reuniting `` him with gigi . yet , rex seems to be more interested in gigi than in his own fiancé . he is concerned about her interest in jared and protests that she is too good for the likes of him . but nobody else understands why he thinks it 's his business . clint is still ready to play hard ball with calvin jenkins . bo still disagrees . dorian is still pulling calvin 's strings to motivate him to ruin the buchanans .

[ scene_break ] maxie : where are those purple ankle boots ? the ones with the cute straps ? they 're supposed to be featured in the park photo shoot tomorrow . lulu : they should be arriving , like , any minute . i told james to keep an eye out for them . maxie : good , that 's one thing i can cross off my list . we are seriously so far behind . i 'm surprised kate has n't fired us yet . ooh , the boots ! james : no boots , but these are n't bad . maxie : do you know who they 're from ? james : no . but maybe there 's a card inside somewhere . just open ... or not . lulu : thank you , james . james : all right . you 're welcome . lulu : he 's cute . we should set him up with brook . maxie : a dozen roses . they 're so pretty . lulu : is there a card ? maxie : i do n't see one . they have to be from matt . he gave me one single red rose earlier today and i called him cheap . it 's weird . lulu : what ? maxie : matt has such a huge ego . i doubt he would send me flowers like this without writing his name all over the box . lulu : any chance they 're from your actual boyfriend ?

[ scene_break ] patrick : that 's good . lisa : yeah , that was a good one . okay , i 've got a good one . what is the difference between god and surgeons ? patrick : i have no idea . lisa : god does n't think he 's a surgeon . patrick : oh , wow . that 's pretty impressive . it 's probably because he ca n't cut it . lisa : yeah . exactly . duh - duh - duh - duh . no , but my point is , is that i 've actually come to believe that ego is a necessary part of a job like ours . i mean , you have to think that you 're the best , you know . patrick : i think you have to have the confidence that if something goes wrong in the o.r . , you 're gon na be able to handle it . lisa : ahh . it 's the risk of the unpredictable that keeps us going . patrick : mm - hmm . lisa : it 's like today . you easily could have given up when you found out that shirley 's cancer was deeper than we all thought . patrick : mm - hmm . lisa : but you did n't . patrick : it 's the greatest high that you 're ever gon na get , you know . i do n't know . i 'm really glad you were there , though . lisa : oh , thank you . patrick : no problem . [ scene_break ] nikolas : how is she ? elizabeth : her vitals are strong considering everything her body 's been through today . she probably wo n't wake up until the morning . patrick did it . he got all the cancer out of her brain . nikolas : yeah , he pulled off a miracle . elizabeth : yeah . nikolas : i guess i 'm not surprised . i mean , he is the best , right ? elizabeth : you 're the one who made it possible . thanks again for paying for the surgery . nikolas : you do n't have to keep thanking me . it was my privilege . elizabeth : well , it was amazingly generous of you . and it 's made me feel really bad about the whole way i 've treated you . i 'm sorry . nikolas : it 's okay . i 'm just glad that you still have faith in me to come to me for help with something like this . elizabeth : i guess i need to start showing a little more gratitude in all areas of my life . shirley taught me that . in fact , a lot of what shirley has said has just taken a while to sink in . especially about the way i 've been treating you . [ scene_break ] sonny : i just want to spend time with my daughter and my son like a family . i miss that more than you know . alexis : i get it . i like that you want that . it 's just you got to relax for a minute . and your expectations about this evening are really high . you got to just be realistic , because she 's still really angry and she 's still really confused . sonny : i know that . that 's why , you know , i want to spend time , all of us , so we can talk to each other , fix things . alexis : okay . we 're gon na do that . she 's gon na be back . you ca n't go chasing after her . sonny : okay . alexis : all right ? just really , trust me . okay , just be still . she 'll come back . there 's no quick fix to this at all . you just need to love her as parents . and that 's what we 're doing . okay ? and at some point , we 'll reestablish the trust again . okay ? i think she really wants this , too .

[ scene_break ] spinelli : have your feelings toward dante the betrayer changed since he secured michael and your release from prison ? jason : why should they ? spinelli : well , i mean , it seems that you 'll be working pretty closely together in your mutual quest to find franco . jason : so what ? spinelli : it 's just if there is any remaining animosity between you two , it seems like it could be something that franco could exploit . i mean , he is a master of mind games . jason : okay , if you 're asking me right now if i plan on being dante 's friend , no . it 's never gon na happen . but i have no choice but to work with dante until franco is not a problem anymore . [ scene_break ] maxie : they have to be from matt . maybe the florist screwed up and forgot to put the card in or something . lulu : well , it 's nice that you completely ruled out spinelli . maxie : spinelli would have brought those to me himself . besides , i do n't think he 's much of a rose kind of guy . james : somebody is popular tonight . maxie : uh . thanks , james . james : you 're welcome . lulu : bye , james . james : bye . maxie : okay , now i 'm really annoyed . the person who sent these gets points because they 're gorgeous , but to not tell me who they 're from . i 'll bet you matt is gon na stop by here any second and take credit for this . lulu : you actually seem excited by that . what happened to being in love with spinelli ? maxie : i am in love with spinelli . lulu : then why would you let matt keep doing things like this ? unless you really like him , which i hope is not the case . maxie : matt takes himself way too seriously for me to even be interested in him . and i 'm perfectly happy with spinelli . lulu : okay . so then you should do the right thing and end things with matt before spinelli figures out what 's really going on and freaks out . matt : evening , ladies . maxie : uh - huh . i 'll bet you 're very pleased with yourself this evening . matt : i am always pleased with myself . why , did i do something great that i do n't yet know about ? maxie : the flowers , they 're beautiful . matt : yes , they are . and clichéd . one rose is way more romantic . sorry to disappoint you , but those are not from me . [ lulu mouths words ] [ scene_break ] dante : you guys notice a homeless guy hanging around out front ? jason : what was he doing ? dante : just staring up at the building . i tried to question him , but he took off . i chased him down , but it was n't franco . jason : check the security footage from the building . we have a new lead , by the way . franco 's mother . dante : franco 's mother 's still alive ? jason : yeah , she changed her name to karen anderson and lives in woodstock , which is n't too far from here . dante : so interpol ca n't locate this woman , but you can ? spinelli : perhaps we should stop focusing on process and focus on things a little more productive . you know , fair lulu was nearly killed by franco and he 's still at large . [ scene_break ] sonny : i made a lot of mistakes with kristina , so that 's why i 'm determined to set things right . alexis : good . this is a perfect opportunity to try to make that happen . just let it happen , though . just show her that you can trust her . sonny : i hate that johnny 's taking advantage of her . okay , i know . i know , i know . i guess , you know , i just have to let her figure it out for herself .

[ scene_break ] dante : it amazes me , spinelli , how little regard you have for the law . spinelli : and it amazes me that you would waste precious time worrying about proper procedure when a serial killer is on the loose and the women we love are his targets . jason : okay . spinelli . you know what , he 's right . we have a lead and we need to follow up on it . franco 's mother could be the key to figuring out where he is . we need to talk to her now . dante : okay , i 'll go talk to her . you should stay here . jason : no , no , i 'm the one that franco 's after . if i 'm there , we 're lucky enough that he 's there , it 's gon na be a better chance for him to come out in the open . this is gon na be the quickest way to end this thing .

<s>[INST] molly : it was so cool . so mr. johnson has this new software for the lab computer , and he projected it onto the screen so everyone could see it . it was this three - dimensional simulation of a rat maze . and everyone in class would vote to decide which way the rat would go , depending on light , symbols , smells . and if we got one wrong , there would be this crazy zapping noise , like an electric shock . sam : ooh , that sounds fun . molly : it was . especially for science camp , which normally bores me to death . michael : you know , that actually reminds me a lot of the common area in pentonville . it was like a maze . everything looked the same . there were all these doors and hallways that you could n't go through . plenty of rats , too . sonny : hey , michael , listen . you do n't have to worry about that ever again . michael : yeah , i know , dad . it 's great to be a free man . alexis : okay . michael : and a hungry one . look , alexis , whatever you 're cooking there smells fantastic . alexis : really ? michael : yeah . alexis : you do n't have to go that far . sonny : has anybody noticed kristina 's been in her room for a long time ? is she gon na join us or ?

[ scene_break ] patrick : that 's good . lisa : yeah , that was a good one . okay , i 've got a good one . what is the difference between god and surgeons ? patrick : i have no idea . lisa : god does n't think he 's a surgeon . patrick : oh , wow . that 's pretty impressive . it 's probably because he ca n't cut it . lisa : yeah . exactly . duh - duh - duh - duh . no , but my point is , is that i 've actually come to believe that ego is a necessary part of a job like ours . i mean , you have to think that you 're the best , you know . patrick : i think you have to have the confidence that if something goes wrong in the o.r . , you 're gon na be able to handle it . lisa : ahh . it 's the risk of the unpredictable that keeps us going . patrick : mm - hmm . lisa : it 's like today . you easily could have given up when you found out that shirley 's cancer was deeper than we all thought . patrick : mm - hmm . lisa : but you did n't . patrick : it 's the greatest high that you 're ever gon na get , you know . i do n't know . i 'm really glad you were there , though . lisa : oh , thank you . patrick : no problem .

[ scene_break ] sonny : i just want to spend time with my daughter and my son like a family . i miss that more than you know . alexis : i get it . i like that you want that . it 's just you got to relax for a minute . and your expectations about this evening are really high . you got to just be realistic , because she 's still really angry and she 's still really confused . sonny : i know that . that 's why , you know , i want to spend time , all of us , so we can talk to each other , fix things . alexis : okay . we 're gon na do that . she 's gon na be back . you ca n't go chasing after her . sonny : okay . alexis : all right ? just really , trust me . okay , just be still . she 'll come back . there 's no quick fix to this at all . you just need to love her as parents . and that 's what we 're doing . okay ? and at some point , we 'll reestablish the trust again . okay ? i think she really wants this , too . [ scene_break ] ronnie : all right , good . take care . dante : ronnie . ronnie : yeah ? dante : what 's the update on the surveillance of the building ? now that jason 's out , franco 's gon na know , he 's gon na come here . we got to be ready . ronnie : look , relax , okay ? it 's handled . if i were you , i 'd be more worried about your friend jason up there taking off now that we 've basically given him permission to , you know , escape . dante : how many times do you need to hear this ? he does n't want to go anywhere . he wants to bust franco as much as we do , ronnie . ronnie : you seem awfully sure about that . you know , there is one other option that you may consider . dante : letting jason go . ronnie : bingo . let franco follow him , hopefully out of the country , and if we get lucky , they kill each other . all right , case closed . dante : and no one gets reminded of your little history with franco . ronnie : you know , i 'm trying to save your ass , detective , not my own . dante : then let 's do it my way . we 'll bust franco by the book . ronnie : okay . dante : i actually could have sworn i saw him earlier . ronnie : what ? where ? dante : out here . did n't see any of your guys hanging around , by the way . i came out of the building , there was a homeless guy standing right there . he looked pretty familiar . i tried to question him , but he took off running . caught up to him a few blocks down , but it was n't him . i wanted it to be him . ronnie : well , it sounds like maybe you just got spooked . you know , you were seeing things . dante : yeah . maybe . man , i really did want it to be him . i mean , we got to catch this guy and put him away before someone else gets hurt . ronnie : so you really think jason could help us with this ? dante : yeah , i do . to protect the people he cares about . jason 's the reason franco started this whole mess in the first place . ronnie : you 're joining forces with a killer to catch a killer . you know , i must have missed that chapter in the police manual . dante : look , he 's got spinelli up there right now trying to figure out where franco is . ronnie : oh , fantastic . so you have a computer hacker doing our job for us . it 's a banner day for law enforcement . you know , what makes you think that they 're not up there right now planning jason 's escape ? [ scene_break ] spinelli : have your feelings toward dante the betrayer changed since he secured michael and your release from prison ? jason : why should they ? spinelli : well , i mean , it seems that you 'll be working pretty closely together in your mutual quest to find franco . jason : so what ? spinelli : it 's just if there is any remaining animosity between you two , it seems like it could be something that franco could exploit . i mean , he is a master of mind games . jason : okay , if you 're asking me right now if i plan on being dante 's friend , no . it 's never gon na happen . but i have no choice but to work with dante until franco is not a problem anymore . [ scene_break ] maxie : they have to be from matt . maybe the florist screwed up and forgot to put the card in or something . lulu : well , it 's nice that you completely ruled out spinelli . maxie : spinelli would have brought those to me himself . besides , i do n't think he 's much of a rose kind of guy . james : somebody is popular tonight . maxie : uh . thanks , james . james : you 're welcome . lulu : bye , james . james : bye . maxie : okay , now i 'm really annoyed . the person who sent these gets points because they 're gorgeous , but to not tell me who they 're from . i 'll bet you matt is gon na stop by here any second and take credit for this . lulu : you actually seem excited by that . what happened to being in love with spinelli ? maxie : i am in love with spinelli . lulu : then why would you let matt keep doing things like this ? unless you really like him , which i hope is not the case . maxie : matt takes himself way too seriously for me to even be interested in him . and i 'm perfectly happy with spinelli . lulu : okay . so then you should do the right thing and end things with matt before spinelli figures out what 's really going on and freaks out . matt : evening , ladies . maxie : uh - huh . i 'll bet you 're very pleased with yourself this evening . matt : i am always pleased with myself . why , did i do something great that i do n't yet know about ? maxie : the flowers , they 're beautiful . matt : yes , they are . and clichéd . one rose is way more romantic . sorry to disappoint you , but those are not from me .
