[ scene_break ] chelsea : oh , you are surfing blog sites now ? nick : uh , yeah , you know . something like that . chelsea : i would never have pegged you for that type . nick : oh , i 'm trying to be more social . chelsea : wow . she 's pretty . who is she ? nick : i ca n't tell you that .

[ scene_break ] kate : so , how are you feeling ? you look better . you 're actually getting your color back . victor : well , i 'll be myself in no time . kate : daniel says that you 're getting stronger with every hour . victor : speaking of daniel , i heard he put his foot down -- some nonsense about no more visitors . kate : yes , because of those episodes after you saw bo and philip . and then i made it worse . you should have seen the way he came after me when he found out i told you about philip . victor : what did he expect , you were n't gon na tell me my own son had been shot ? kate : no . actually , he apologized to me later very nicely . victor : that 's very big of him . kate : you know , he 's under a lot of strain himself . he has a lot he has to deal with . victor : well , i 'm just glad philip is all right . he did get the blood type he needed . kate : yes . yes . daniel is a pretty amazing guy . victor : you sound very fond of him . kate : [ scoffs ] why would n't i be ? i mean , he 's saved you , he saved chelsea , he saved bo , and he put my two sons back together again . victor : i heard about lucas . he 's all right ? kate : well , as well as can be expected , considering the fact he was almost beaten to death in prison . victor : that was a very brave thing he did . now he can live his life free and go wherever he wants . kate : yeah , hopefully not with sami . victor : well , we have more important things to worry about than lucas ' love life . kate : yes , we do . philip . victor : you know , in spite of our best efforts , i 'm afraid he may be headed for disaster . [ scene_break ] john : if you feel the cops are following you , just slow everything down . ava : john , i am used to the cops watching me and my family . but what i do n't like is they are watching me to try and get something on you . john : they 've got nothing on either one of us , and they never will . ava : john , they are not gon na leave this alone , okay ? they are gon na try and do everything they can to pin paul 's disappearance on you . john : only until that tape surfaces . once they hear philip threaten to kill hollingsworth , it will change the spin of the ball . ava : oh , you think that tape 's gon na show up if it has n't by now ? [ scene_break ] e.j . : [ clears throat ] sorry if i 'm interrupting . john : yes , you were . we were having a private conversation . e.j . : yeah . you seem to be having quite a lot of those lately . john : and what is it to you if i decide to whisper sweet nothings in my girl 's ear ? e.j . : john , i have a funny feeling whatever you 're whispering is n't sweet nor nothing . john : well , then how about this ? stay out of it . it 's none of your business . e.j . : well , i would . unfortunately , as your lawyer , it rather is my business . if you have something to tell me , i think you should tell me right about now .

[ scene_break ] chelsea : what 's with all the secrecy ? why ca n't you tell you who she is ? nick : there 's no secrecy . it 's just something i 'm not at liberty to discuss at the moment . chelsea : hmm . well , are n't we mr . mysterious . nick : you know me . i 'm all about the mystery . chelsea : right . and , um , premier party girl is n't ... nick : you have no idea . chelsea : it 's interesting . i just never would have really pegged her as your type . i mean , though , clearly , she 's any guy 's type . nick : yeah . well , you know , i 'm just trying to move on with my life , kind of like what you did . chelsea : with an internet party girl ?

[ scene_break ] john : everything is on a need - to - know basis , nephew , and , right now , there 's nothing you need to know . e.j . : why do n't i like the sound of that ? ava : i think the cops are following me . john does n't think it 's any big deal . e.j . : well , i certainly think it 's a big deal . john : and why would you say that ? has something else happened in the hollingsworth case ? e.j . : no , nothing i 'm aware of . john : okay . e.j . : john , would you mind ? i 'd like to have a chat with ava , just the two of us . it 's about her case . ava : you can speak in front of john , especially if it 's more good news . john : well , i 'm sure it is . but that 's okay . there 's something i need to check on . i 'll be back . ava : so , what is the latest ? please , tell me . do we have a trial date yet because ever since you told me we that we had the change of venue and judge fitzpatrick , i am ready to get this over with so i can just move on with my life . e.j . : i do have some news ... and it 's not particularly good . [ scene_break ] kate : i 'm worried about philip , too . i thought when i destroyed that recording that this would all go away . victor : wo n't it ? kate : you just said yourself despite our efforts that he 's probably headed for trouble . victor : well , i 'm just worried that bo would crack . i mean , withholding evidence , lying to his wife , that 's eating him alive . kate : do you think he will ? victor : no . besides , it will all be moot once he finds the real culprit and proves his brother 's innocence . kate : okay , then . victor : there 's something else you 're not telling me . kate : [ exhales ] no . it 's -- it 's -- it 's not important . you really should just concentrate on getting better right now . victor : yes , it is . i can see it in your eyes . tell me what 's going on . kate : victor , it -- daniel is going to be furious with me if i upset you again . victor : forget about daniel . i 'm fine . kate : [ sighs ] all right . all right , i am going to tell you . [ sighs ] there 's somebody who knows something about philip . victor : what are you talking about ? kate : he got an anonymous note the other day at the mansion . i was there , and i saw it . victor : what did it say ? kate : `` i know your secret . `` victor : dear god . kate : i know . philip thought it was probably john toying with him . and that 's why he went over there to confront him , and he ended up taking a bullet for morgan . she 's absolutely convinced that john had something to do with her father 's disappearance . victor : he probably does . the question is , does he know about the recording between paul and philip ? kate : i do n't know . i mean , if he did , why would n't he just take it to the police ? i mean , he 's the one under the most suspicion right now , and he would love to see philip fry . victor : who knows what 's going on with john . he 's out of his mind -- literally . kate : yeah , i know . maybe philip was right . maybe john is just playing games with him . victor : yeah , well , from now on , he 's gon na have me to deal with . [ scene_break ] john : so , how are you , paul ? are you comfortable ? anything i can get you ? paul : yeah , you can get me the hell out of here . john : oh , i 'm afraid i ca n't do that -- not yet . paul : so , john , what 's going on with that recording , huh ? john : it has n't surfaced yet . paul : that you know of . john : oh , i would know because philip kiriakis would most likely have been arrested by now . paul : so , something went wrong . john : obviously . paul : but you said that your friend ava , she sent an e - mail that would plant a bug in the cops ' ears about , uh , missing evidence , police cover - up . john : yes , that 's right . she did . but nothing 's happened yet . excuse me . paul : really ? wow . so , what 's the plan now , john ? what , am i just gon na rot here forever ? john : patience , paul . let 's not lose sight of our goal . paul : oh , i have n't lost sight of the goal , john . i want philip kiriakis in jail as much as you and more . i want to bury that punk , and i want him the hell away from my daughter . john : well , that 's good . because once philip is defeated and you have disappeared from salem , i will arrange to have your daughter come and meet with you , if that 's what you want . paul : yeah , that 's what i want . so why do n't we just do that now , huh ? 'cause clearly , this is not working . john : well , perhaps we just need to raise the stakes a little .

[ scene_break ] philip : so , i do n't know . maybe we were both dreaming . morgan : or maybe i was just worried about you . i mean , you did take a bullet for me . you almost died . philip : i see . so , you were just giving me something to live for . morgan : i did n't say that . i mean , i 've just never had anybody save my life before . philip : i did it without even thinking about it . morgan : oh , okay . so , it was an impulse , then , huh ? philip : now you 're putting words in my mouth . but i 'll tell you this . i 'd do it again in a heartbeat . morgan : i have never met a man so infuriating yet amazing all at the same time . philip : maybe that 's what intrigues you about me . i 'm a challenge . morgan : oh , did i mention arrogant ? philip : let 's cut the game , shall we ? i know what you said , and you know what i said , and neither one of us were dreaming . the question is , did you mean it ? morgan : did you ? philip : yeah .

[ scene_break ] ava : okay . i 'm listening . what is the news ? e.j . : [ inhales deeply ] first piece of news is that judge fitzpatrick has been removed from the case . ava : what ? why ? e.j . : i have no idea . her replacement is somebody who 's , let 's just say , a lot less susceptible to being our friend and is one of the toughest judges in the state . ava : okay , you said `` first . `` what else ? e.j . : ava , i just came back from meeting with the district attorney 's office . in light of full disclosure , they presented me with some new evidence . ava : what new evidence ? e.j . : an e - mail correspondence between you and one of the gentlemen who tampered with the plane in ireland . ava : no . e.j . : they found it on your father 's computer in his compound . ava : no . no , no , no , no , no . that -- that 's impossible . that 's impossible because everything that i sent , i erased . i - i made sure nothing could be traced , ever . e.j . : well , this time , they found it . those guys are good . i 'm sorry , ava , but there is direct evidence that links you to the death of three people . ava : so what ? come on , e.j . there 's got to be something we can do . i mean , what about the fact that i was being drugged ? that 's still a very , very strong defense . i mean , i did n't know what i was doing . e.j . : it 's a long shot . it 's a long shot . ava : and are you gon na give me anything else here , e.j . , what ? e.j . : look , with judge fitzpatrick on the case , we had a chance , okay , especially when we got the venue moved . but now with judge hawkins and this new evidence -- ava : what are you trying to say to me , e.j . ? are you saying there 's no hope ? e.j . : i 'm saying there 's very little . [ scene_break ] e.j . : look , i 'm sorry , okay ? really , i wish i could offer you some more reassurance , but ... ava : okay , what about a deal ? i mean , do you still think you can get me one ? e.j . : not a favorable one , not in light of this new evidence that 's come up . [ door closes ] ava : look , john just came in . look , please do n't say anything . e.j . : ava , he 's somebody who could help you . ava : i do n't want -- just let me tell him myself . e.j . : okay . john : is everything okay here ? ava : yeah . yeah , everything 's great . just going over some details i 'm not gon na bore you with . e.j . : yeah , actually , i think we were just about done . john : well , that 's good because now i would like to have a word with ava alone , please . e.j . : well , then , i 'll be making myself scarce . john , before i go , you , um -- you 'd do well to consider our earlier conversation . if you do n't let me know what 's going on , i ca n't help you . john : the kid 's too smart for his own good . ava : yeah . john : it 's unfortunate that i ca n't bring myself to trust him enough to tell him . ava : so , i , um , i take it you went and saw your old friend paul . how is he ? john : he 's a little frustrated that things are n't moving fast enough with kiriakis and the tape , but he 's not alone . ava : yeah , well , they had to have received the e - mail by now . john : that 's right . so , i think it 's time that i call my contact at the police department ... [ telephone dialing ] ... and find out exactly what the delay is . [ scene_break ] bo : i 'm sorry i 've disappointed you . if you think this has been easy ... hope : no . i do n't . of course not . i knew that something was wrong . you have n't been yourself since it happened . bo : the most difficult part has been keeping it from you . now you know . hope : only thing is , apparently so does someone else . i 'm sure it was ava vitali who sent that e - mail to the station . bo : and i 'm sure it 's been on john 's behalf . hope : and we still do n't have any proof -- ca n't prove it . what are you gon na do ? bo : smoke out whoever 's responsible for paul 's disappearance , and i 'm almost positive that 's john . hope : yeah , so am i . then what ? bo : we go to the d.a . hope : we ? bo : and since you 're a cop and you now know what i did , that makes you an accessory after the fact . so , i got to know . you with me on this , or you gon na turn me in ? [ scene_break ] victor : i wish philip had never gotten involved with this damn shipping war . kate : i know . but i do n't think john gave him a choice . victor : and now he might be going to jail for murder . kate : philip did not kill paul hollingsworth . victor : no , but he did threaten him . kate : during an argument in the heat of the moment . victor : which paul got on tape . kate : so what ? the police are not gon na hear it . victor : the police already did hear it . kate : no , bo heard it , and , luckily , you talked some sense into him . victor : i guilted him into giving me that recording . and now someone else knows . both of my sons could be in serious trouble . kate : no . because we 're going to get to the bottom of it . in the meantime , the thing to remember is that the recording is gone . and in the end , that 's the only thing that matters . victor : yeah , i hope you 're right . kate : i am right . so , i need to get going before i get into serious trouble with dr. jonas . victor : kate . thank you . kate : for what ? victor : philip 's lucky to have you for a mother . kate : that 's what i keep telling all of my children .

[ both breathing heavily ] ava : i ca n't believe we just did that again . morgan : i ca n't believe it 's been almost two hours since the last time we just did that again . ava : you 're gon na wear me out . morgan : i do n't think that 's possible . ava : maybe not . but you know what ? sometimes it 's okay to take a break , you know ? at least for a meal , some kind of sustenance , for strength . morgan : says who ? because as far as i 'm concerned , a break would just mean you 're getting bored with me . you getting bored with me ? ava : unh - unh . morgan : of course you 're not . because i 'm really good at it . ava : uh - huh . morgan : i 'm not getting bored with you , either . i ca n't imagine ever getting bored with you .

[ chuckles ] lily would be so disappointed in you ! sonny : shawn ! tired of waiting . what do you got on carlos rivera ? is he lily 's brother or is he just treading on her name ? because if he is , i 'm gon na slit his throat right now . lulu : when dante and i set out to get pregnant , three of my eggs were harvested and fertilized , and one of those embryos was implanted into maxie . the other two -- they were frozen and stored in your lab in case we needed to try again if something happened . dante : which we decided we 'd like to do . we 'd like to try it again , so we came to the lab to see ellie to go over the logistics , and she ca n't locate the embryos . brad : look , i 'm sure they 're still there . ellie trout is notoriously absentminded . dante : we 're not talking about papers being put in the wrong drawer , okay ? our embryos were logged in and then never logged out . they 're not where they 're supposed to be . brad : look , i can see why you 'd be upset , okay ? but i can assure you that i 'll get to the bottom of this . dante : yeah , you will . that 'd be great . and you know why ? because if our embryos have gone missing or disappeared or whatever 's happened to them , i 'm gon na hold you personally responsible . brad : hey , come on . we 're all on the same team here , all right ? i 'm trying to get your embryos back , but it seems to me that you 're questioning the wrong guy . lulu : who would we talk to if it 's not you ? brad : if you want to know what happened ... ask dr. westbourne . britt : save your breath , okay ? threats will get you nowhere . dr. obrecht : oh , yes , they will . britt : i already told nikolas everything . he knows all there is to know about ben . dr. obrecht : and he has not cut ties with you ? please . you 're lying . britt : he 's a cassadine . he 's unshockable . plus , he 's had his fair share of dirt over the years , mostly coerced by his insane family , so he can relate to me . dr. obrecht : there is no way the right honorable nikolas cassadine could abide your presence if he knew what you had done . britt : well , you 're wrong . okay dr. obrecht : am i ? [ floor creaks ] dr. obrecht : then put the prince on the phone . i 'll ask him myself . lulu : why would we talk to dr. westbourne ? she does n't run the lab . brad : uh , correct me if i 'm wrong , but was n't she the doctor who initially handled the implantation ? lulu : yes , and we put a call in to her to cover our bases , but we have n't heard back yet . dante : you know what ? it does n't matter who our doctor is . britt had access to the lab , but you 're the one who 's in charge of it . okay ? your responsibility is for everything that goes in and out of that lab . it all begins and ends with you , okay ? now maybe it 's too much responsibility for you . maybe we should talk to your superiors and see if there 's someone who might be better- suited for the job ? brad : there 's no need for that , all right ? just let me look into it , okay ? dante : yeah . you look into it . and you let us know . brad : i 'll see what i can turn up . dante : yeah . hey . look forward to hearing from you soon , okay ? britt : sorry . i have to go . dr. obrecht : see that you do . go right now . to the police station . i will give you until the end of the hour before i make available for trade all the information i have on you and benjamin . nikolas : came back to bed , you were gone . britt : i did n't want to expose either of you to that . nikolas : who was on the phone ? britt : my mother . i snuck out because i knew you would n't be happy . look , you 're already brooding . nikolas : why is that woman bothering you ? britt : she 's at the end of her rope , and she does n't have anyone . nikolas : good . britt : not good . she 's going to keep calling . nikolas : then we 'll screen the calls . britt : she 'll find a way to get in touch with me , as long as she think she can guilt me into assisting her . nikolas : then we 'll change her thinking . britt : i agree . but i have to be the one to deal with her . okay ? nikolas : okay . britt : there 's no need for you to join me . nikolas : so you 're going back to the station now ? i thought we were gon na ... britt : [ laughs ] what ? [ both laugh ] nikolas : spoon . britt : nothing would make me more happy . tonight has been ... amazing . nikolas : i was just thinking the same thing . britt : i never knew how good it would feel to be so close to you . that is why ... i have to go and square the situation away with my mother . nikolas : tomorrow will come soon enough . britt : no . because if i wait too long , she will be determined , and she can cause damage , and i ca n't have that . duke : i 'm famished . anna : i 'm sure you are after your workout . duke : well , can you take a couple of hours away ? we can go someplace nice -- anna : no , i ca n't . i 've got obrecht cooling her heels in the interrogation room . duke : well , while she 's cooling , why ca n't we go forage ? anna : i do n't think i can face her on a full stomach , quite honestly . i need to question her first , after she 's finished her allotted phone call . duke : is she calling faison ? anna : why do you think that ? duke : well , she 's obsessed with him . i mean , does she have anybody else ? unfortunately for her , he 's locked up in steinmauer . anna : yeah , i know . duke : there 's nobody else gon na ride in to her rescue . anna : that 's exactly what i told her . so , speaking of obrecht , which i wish to god i did n't have to ... duke : she 's a subject best dropped permanently , i 'd say . anna : not until she 's convicted and put away for good . until then , she 's my responsibility . so i better get back in there and make sure she 's taking advantage of this phone call . duke : well , please do n't work too late and do n't work too hard because i would like to spend some time with you this evening . anna : you have something to do to preoccupy yourself , i hope ? duke : you do n't have to worry about me . i 've plenty to do . anna : okay . tj : you 're dumping me . molly : consider it a christmas gift . you 're off the hook , and now you can go for taylor . tj : i never said i wanted that . molly : but you 're thinking it , right ? i mean , who can you be in a real relationship with me if you 're jealous of rafe and taylor 's fake one ? tj : look , if one of us is jealous , it 's you , all right ? you 're obviously into rafe and have been ever since he hit town with his whole `` lost boy `` saga . molly : okay . if i 'm supposedly into rafe , then you must be head - over - heels in love with taylor ! tj : that 's not true ! molly : well , that 's what it looked like to me when you were checking taylor out under the mistletoe ! tj : come on . now you 're delusional . molly : no , actually , i think i 'm finally starting to see straight . good night , tj tj : do n't be like this . let 's just talk this out . molly : i 'm done talking ! go home ! morgan : are you sure that my dad snatched carlos ? julian : are you questioning me ? morgan : no . i 'm just saying maybe the guy took off . did n't he have all that -- all that drama with his ex just recently ? ava : no . carlos would not have taken off without letting us know . and sonny warned me . at a.j . quartermaine 's trial , he said he was gon na hit us back , and carlos is a soft target . god knows what sonny 's done to him . julian : well , if your boyfriend here had done a better job of planting that bug in sonny 's office , we 'd have some idea . morgan : okay . well , i screwed up , all right ? let me make it up to you . i 'll show you what i can do . julian : no , that 's okay . i think your particular talents are better suited to my sister . morgan : look , if my dad has carlos , then i can track him down . julian : what 're you gon na do ? just walk right up and ask the man ? morgan : who said anything about going to my dad ? i got a much easier mark in mind . lulu : are you always so hostile when you question someone ? dante : hostile ? hostile would have been me finding an excuse to place that guy under arrest . lulu : no , you would n't . dante : no , probably not , but he 's the lab manager . i mean , we 've entrusted him with our embryos , and now he ca n't find them ? i mean , it 's not like the dry- cleaners losing your favorite jacket . this is a part of us , our property . i mean , if he 's been negligent in any way , i 'll have no problem finding charges to place against him . lulu : i just do n't understand how this could 've happened . i mean , those embryos are treated with such care . it 's not like they can just disappear . dante : well , this guy 's either turning his storage facility upside down or he 's covering up for his own incompetence . either way , he 's not gon na show his face until he has something to tell us , so if you want to leave ... lulu : no . the waiting and wondering is n't gon na be any easier at home . i 'm not going anywhere until we get some answers from brad . dante : i just wonder where he went to get them . nikolas : [ sighs ] yes . may i help ... you . brad : whoa ! i ... certainly hope so . dr. obrecht : ah , the commissioner returns . i was beginning to think you had forgotten me . anna : not at all . no , you 're a priority here at the pcpd until we get you shipped off to pentonville or wherever you get sentenced . dr. obrecht : am i not entitled to a presumption of innocence ?

we all do , and we 're not supposed to talk about it . but shawn took over for jason , okay ? so now he 's my dad 's enforcer . molly : well , that does n't necessarily mean that he 's doing anything . morgan : what that means , molly , is that shawn takes care of my dad 's dirtiest business , okay ? and this guy that 's working with my ex 's mom ... molly : he works with kiki 's mom , ava jerome ? morgan : right . his name 's carlos , and he disappeared , and people think that shawn took him under my dad 's orders and did god knows what with the guy . molly : i mean , tj is n't a part of that stuff . morgan : right , but , look , michael was never part of my dad 's business , neither was kristina , and look at all the crap that happened to them just 'cause they had the last name `` corinthos . `` all right , i was lucky to get out while i could . tj may not be so lucky . he 's not in the position to do that . and if shawn 's as bad as people are saying , molly , tj could really get hurt . julian : well , well , look who it is , ava . duke lavery . ava : the family lapdog . julian : you 'll have to excuse my sister . her impressions of you are based on family stories of your disloyalty . she does n't know you the way i do . duke : as your better . julian : is this the way it 's gon na be ? come on . i 'd hoped that my rebirth might signal the start of a new relationship between us . duke : is that why you so graciously offered me employment while you were still living under the alias of derek wells ? julian : [ chuckles ] yes , well , consider it a second chance -- an opportunity to atone for the harm you 've done to the jerome family . duke : the harm i 've done ? your father tried to enslave me , and your sister , she murdered my unborn child . julian : well , dad and olivia are gone now . i 'm willing to let your mistakes pass if you do the same in return . come on in . there 's no reason why we ca n't coexist , duke . seriously . and besides that , i 'm sure that anna would prefer it that way . duke : the only mistake i made was not killing you when i had the chance . ava : he 's got a gun . brad : if this is how you always answer the door , i have got to make a trip out here more often . nikolas : do you need something ?

nikolas : yes , she did . and it 's clear to me now why you never wanted to have anything to do with this child . you 're not ben 's father . lulu : maybe we 're wasting our time with brad . dante : well , let 's just hear what the guy has to say before we write him off , yeah ? lulu : why would we believe a word this guy has to say ? dante : hey , i do n't like him any better than you do , but we do know the truth about connie because of him . lulu : am i supposed to be grateful to him for that ? dante : i do n't know . knowing maxie , we would 've found out eventually , but it could 've been months from now and it would 've hurt that much more . lulu : yeah , maybe . have you heard that saying , `` ignorance is bliss `` ? i 've heard like a million times but i never really understood what it meant until that day . it was bliss believing that connie was ours , and now that bliss is gone , and i do n't believe for a second that brad told us out of the goodness of his heart . dante : i 'm with you there . he definitely does n't seem like the most selfless or well - intentioned guy . lulu : no , he is a sleaze . nikolas told me all about him . he conspired with britt to help her pass her son off as patrick 's . dante : speaking of dr. westbourne , she still has n't called us back . where the hell is she ? anna : oh , my god . i thought you were smarter than to throw in with your mother again . britt : i 'm not throwing in -- anna : well , then walk away ! do n't let her lure you back in . you 've got a child ! dr. obrecht : enough of your sanctimonious preaching ! how a double agent who abandoned her child for years can even think of handing out advice is beyond me ! anna : how someone who steals her own grandchild can then ask the mother of that child to help her is beyond me ! god , you are delusional . you know what ? i would tell you to have her committed , but we do n't want her getting off on any kind of insanity -- dr. obrecht : go tend that gremlin you gave birth to and stay out of my daughter 's affairs ! britt : i 'm here . dr. obrecht : of course you are . the only other option was to tell nikolas the truth , and we both know you do n't dare . better for everyone that you stick to the story that the dithering homosexual lab technician is cesar 's father . britt : yeah , well , that 's done . i -- i do n't want there to be any more lies between me and nikolas . i was going to tell him the whole truth . dr. obrecht : and you told him what instead ? britt : that i got an anonymous sperm donor . dr. obrecht : oh , yes . your original idea -- back when patrick was the prize . lucky for you , you consulted with your mutter . i had a far , far better plan to get you pregnant . dante : dr. westbourne , it 's dante falconeri calling you again . it 's important you call me as soon as possible . looking forward to hearing from you . she 's not gon na call us back tonight , but if i do n't hear from her by tomorrow , i 'm gon na take police launch out to wyndemere . that ought to get her attention . lulu : why are we even doing this ? dante : what do you mean ? lulu : it 's too soon . we 're just gon na get our hearts broken all over again . dante : no , we -- we do n't know that . lulu : we have n't even started . we 're already hitting roadblocks . maybe it 's just not meant to be . maybe we 're not supposed to have a child of our own . brad : what exactly did britt tell you ? nikolas : everything . that you 're not ben 's father . that she used an anonymous donor from the g.h . sperm bank , enlisted you in a cover - up because she did n't go through the proper channels in getting the sample . therefore , could n't handle the scrutiny . brad : well , i guess it 's all out in the open , then , huh ? nikolas : yes , it is . and since you no longer have an official connection to ben , it is with great pleasure ... that i announce to you that this entire island is private property . you 're not wanted here . turn around , leave , never come back . no one here wants to see you , not ever . dr. obrecht : surely you agree that my plan was the better of the two . surprise , surprise -- mutter knew best . mutter always knows best . britt : it can still all come out . dr. obrecht : how ? the lackwit lab flunky ? he stands to lose as much from the truth coming out as you do . and i will say nothing , provided my dear tochter is sufficiently thankful for all the help i have so selflessly provided . are you thankful , britta ? molly : i always worried that something would happen to tj because shawn works for uncle sonny . but i do n't know how to help . i mean , tj ca n't leave shawn . his mother 's out of the picture , and there is no way my mom would let tj live here . but he does n't have anyone else to go to . morgan : hey , look , i could be wrong about shawn . it 's just a rumor . molly : oh , but it sounds like the truth . i mean , what shawn does for uncle sonny is an open secret . morgan : yeah , but that does n't necessarily mean that he had to deal with carlos going awol . just if we had a way to find out for sure ... molly : well , maybe tj could find out . morgan : how ? molly : maybe he could -- i do n't know -- follow shawn or something . morgan : mm . that 's kind of risky . you know , we could n't let my dad find out . molly : well , it would look totally innocent . i mean , shawn is tj 's guardian , so if tj happens to show up where shawn is , it would n't look suspicious . morgan : yeah , that could work . molly : of course , i 'd have to get tj to listen to me first . morgan : it 's that bad , huh ? molly : it feels like all we do is fight . morgan : let me ask you -- do you still love him ? then you got to get through to him . molly , you have to keep him safe . shawn : tj , this is n't the greatest time , but if you could hold on for a little while -- tj : it 's okay , it 's okay . i get it . shawn : we 'll talk later ? tj : yeah . sure . shawn : okay . tj : and , shawn ... shawn : yeah . tj : hey , be careful , okay ? shawn : yeah . julian : get your hand out of your pocket , slowly . duke : my , are n't we jumpy ? you 're not as confident as you 'd have people believe , are you ? julian : hilarious . what is that ? duke : may i ? julian : go ahead . duke : `` dear julian ... it is without reluctance that i submit this letter of resignation . i offer no notice and believe no explanation is required . if , however , you so desire it , consider my grounds the following -- you and your gormless sister are a blight on port charles . i spent too much time of my life yoked to the vulgar ambitions of your family . i refuse to serve your purpose a day longer or risk my ruin to bring about yours . cheers . duke . `` well , it certainly seems to be easier saying goodbye to the jeromes a second time around . julian : mm . duke : i wish you both good night and good ... actually , why do n't we just leave it at `` good night . `` julian : you do n't think it 's that simple , do you , lavery ? for you or for anna ? duke : i know it 's that simple . but i dare you to complicate it . sonny : [ breathes deeply ] shawn : [ sighs ] sonny : i take it our visitor was n't your guy . shawn : no . no , it was tj sonny : is he okay ? shawn : yeah , just the usual -- girl trouble . molly : what are you doing ? tj : uh , i got this for you . for christmas ... before everything . i ca n't return it , so , uh ... i just wanted to leave it for you . you can do whatever you want with it . see you around . molly : uh , wait . i was just coming to look for you . tj : you were ? why ? molly : to ... apologize . i should n't have jumped all over you , tj i mean , you were right -- i was a little jealous -- but not because i want rafe . i love you , tj tj : i love you , too , molly . molly : thank god . i hate it when we fight . tj : me too . look , i should go . shawn said he 'd be home soon , and he 'll be looking for me . molly : um , not yet . i need to talk to you about something . tj : oh , come on . is it about taylor ? molly : no . it 's about shawn . [ train horn blows in distance ] sonny : i guess you have one more reprieve . consider this a gift from my late wife , lily . she was raised in this business . she understood it . she accepted that steps had to be taken , messages had to be sent ... and sometimes people , they just have to die . so enjoy your last night , and remember -- you would 've died a lot easier if you had n't lied . carlos : i 'm not lying ! sonny : you 're lying ! shawn : sonny , we 've got a visitor . you 're gon na want to talk to him outside . sonny : [ breathes deeply ] [ door closes ] sonny : shawn , he 's with us . are n't you , duke ? duke : without a doubt . i just came from seeing julian and ava . sonny : and ? duke : i did what we planned . i officially parted ways with the jeromes . i 'm eager to take the next step , sonny . sonny : welcome to the fold , lavery . ava : what did you learn about carlos ? morgan : nothing yet , but i laid the groundwork . i think we 'll pick up carlos 's trail soon . [ zip tie clicks ] shawn : comfy ? [ chuckles ] carlos : go to hell . shawn : well , hell is where you 're headed , my friend . and soon . sonny : so , here 's the thing . taking the jeromes down is not gon na be easy or clean . duke : i would n't have agreed to join you unless i was prepared to get my hands dirty . sonny : all right , then it would n't trouble you to know that i got julian jerome 's enforcer , carlos rivera , tied up in that room . duke : no . on the contrary , i commend you . i think that 's a good plan . sonny : julian wanted a war . he 's gon na get what he came for . anna : nice visit with your daughter ? dr. obrecht : as a matter of fact , i 'm -- anna : that was a rhetorical question . i really do n't care . dr. obrecht : here is another -- when will i be released ? anna : how about never ? so , the courts are closed for today , which means your arraignment will be tomorrow . so it 's down to lockup for you . dr. obrecht : if you say so . but i have a feeling britta wo n't let me languish here for long . britt : what the hell are you doing here ? brad : first off , congratulations on bagging that guy . what 's your secret ? britt : ha ha . tonight 's been a really trying night , so i do n't have time -- brad : yeah , there 's a lot of that going around . i just had a run - in with dante and lulu falconeri . britt : what did they want ? brad : they know their embryos are missing . dante : hey , it 's gon na be okay . lulu : you do not know that . dante : what i do know ... is i listen to every word you say -- holding you tight , making sure you 're not scared anymore . hey . i 'm with you every step of the way . okay ? and it 's way too early to throw in the towel . you are right -- those embryos did n't just disappear . we will find them , and we will have our baby . brad : uh , houston , we have a problem . did you hear me ? dante and lulu know their embryos are gone . dr. obrecht : lucky for you , britta , you consulted with your mutter . i had a far , far better plan to get you pregnant . why go to the trouble of creating a new baby when you had embryos ready - made ? we used dante and lulu falconeri 's . [ laughing ] brad : britt ! how long before dante and lulu figure out that you have their son ?
anna calls robert and tells him that obrecht tried to call her bluff . she tells duke that she is glad he is staying away from the mob war that is brewing . he suggests that they go away for a while . she says she ca n't get away . she ca n't even go to lunch with him , because she is dealing with obrecht . obrecht calls britt and tells her to bail her out or else she will reveal how they created britt 's son . britt says she already told nikolas . obrecht tells her to put nikolas on the phone so she can ask him directly . britt goes to the station . dante and lulu demand that brad tell them where their embryos are . he says he will help them find them , but that they should ask dr. westbourne . dante says the lab is brad 's responsibility . brad says he will look into it . brad goes to wyndemere and is smitten when nikolas opens the door without a shirt . nikolas tells brad that he knows he is not ben 's father , so he does n't have to come around to conspire with britt anymore . he tells brad to leave and never come back . britt returns before brad leaves . he tells her that the falconeris are looking for their embryos . he asks how long she thinks it will take for dante and lulu to figure out that she has their son . dante keeps trying to call britt with no answer . lulu says it could be a sign that they are n't meant to be parents .
<s>[INST] sonny : how 's our guest ? shawn : see for yourself . sonny : give us a minute . shawn : yeah . sonny : [ chuckles ] [ door closes ] sonny : buenos noches , carlos . you enjoy your stay ? carlos : [ spits ] sonny : that may work in p.r . but not here . here , you treat your host a lot better than that . carlos : this any way to treat your in - law ? sonny : oh , i got no proof that your lily 's brother . until i do , you work for the jeromes , which makes you an animal , and i 'm gon na take you down ! [ cell phone ringing ] sonny : ava 's calling . you late for work , carlos ? how long before you 're replaced ? [ ringing continues ] [ ringing stops ] anna : it 's ava -- again . where are you ? call me . morgan : why the foul mood ? come on . it 's christmastime . why do n't you come sit on santa 's lap and i 'll turn that frown upside down ? anna : robert , call me when you get this . but obrecht tried grilling me about faison . i did n't let on anything , obviously , but she still kept trying to call my bluff . you know , no matter what happens , this secret goes with us to our graves . brad : so , what can i do for you both ? lulu : you can tell us what you know about our missing embryos . brad : uh , i -- i do n't know what you 're talking about . i 've ... got to go . if you 'd excuse me . dante : doc , you 're not excused . brad : hands off the merchandise . dante : the embryos we entrusted to your care here at g.h . -- they 're missing . lulu : we want them back . dr. obrecht : yoo - hoo ! britta ! i had better not be on hold . britt : you 're not on hold , okay ? i had to go somewhere i would n't be overheard . dr. obrecht : if you 'd come to the police station and kindly arrange for my release , there would be no danger of eavesdroppers . britt : i am not going down there . dr. obrecht : do not disobey me . i can not afford to spend another night in the lair of this spindly english succubus . i expect you to provide bail within the hour . britt : or what ? dr. obrecht : or i 'll dismantle that fragile little fairy tale you have constructed . if you refuse me , i will sing like maria von trapp crossing the alps . only mine will be the executioner 's song , sung to the tune of truth ... the truth about your baby and exactly how you and i created him . tj : molly , wait up ! molly : why ? what 's the point ? tj : so we can talk about what just happened . molly : i do n't want to talk ! tj : i 'm sorry , but you do n't get to make decision for the both of us all by yourself . molly : i made a decision for me . tj : do n't you even care about what i have to say ? molly : okay , fine . talk . i 'm just gon na stand here , mute , until you 're done . tj : really ? what , are you 6 ? come on . molly : what do you want from me , tj ? there is nothing more to say . no amount of talking is going to change the fact that our relationship is over . duke : are you all right ? anna : yeah , yeah , no . i just got a lot of work . that 's all . duke : is that all ? it seems that phone call upset you . anna : it was robin . i ... ca n't get over the fact that she 's back . you know , the enormity of it is just -- it plays on my mind , and ... it 's sort of like your return , really . duke : then perhaps you 've come back to work too soon after your ordeal with faison . what do you say we get away for a couple days . we 'll go up to the mountains , get a little cottage where there 's no land line , where there 's bad cell service . just peace and quiet , just you and i alone , together . anna : yeah . duke : come on . we can use the time to rest and recharge . anna : i ca n't . i really -- i 've spent too much time away from this place . i need the public to know that the commissioner is taking care of everything , especially with this mob war brewing between julian jerome and sonny . glad you 're steering clear of that firestorm . one less thing for me to worry about . duke : i would n't want to add to your burden . anna : that 's impossible . so , how did you spend your day ? pounding the pavement , looking for a new job ? duke : you can forget what i said before . sonny : what are you saying ? duke : i 'm saying i 'm in . let 's take that bastard down together . actually ... i took myself to the gym . sonny : i wonder if ava called to give you the axe . carlos : the jeromes are coming for me . sonny : ah . carlos : even if that means going through you . sonny : you 'd have to be pretty important for julian to risk that . you that important , carlos ? cat got your tongue ? anybody ever tell you you 're loyal to a fault ? carlos : what do you know about loyalty , sonny ? you cut your own son loose . left him ripe for ava 's picking . [ both breathing heavily ] ava : i ca n't believe we just did that again . morgan : i ca n't believe it 's been almost two hours since the last time we just did that again . ava : you 're gon na wear me out . morgan : i do n't think that 's possible . ava : maybe not . but you know what ? sometimes it 's okay to take a break , you know ? at least for a meal , some kind of sustenance , for strength . morgan : says who ? because as far as i 'm concerned , a break would just mean you 're getting bored with me . you getting bored with me ? ava : unh - unh . morgan : of course you 're not . because i 'm really good at it . ava : uh - huh . morgan : i 'm not getting bored with you , either . i ca n't imagine ever getting bored with you . [ knock on door ] julian : ava , it 's julian . come on , i know you 're in there . your doorman says you have n't left all day . open up . let 's go . ava : what ? julian : and here i thought you were worrying about our good friend carlos . ava : i am worried . you know i 'm worried . julian : well , not worrying enough . while you 've been entertaining sonny 's son , i had a chat with the man himself . ava : and ? julian : he denies knowing anything about carlos 's disappearance . but i know he 's lying through his teeth . carlos : you regret the way you treated morgan ? hmm ? ah , i mean , maybe not . what 's one son when you got two others , hmm ? dante and michael -- sonny : do n't talk about my sons ! carlos : [ breathing heavily ] mm . [ chuckles ] lily would be so disappointed in you ! sonny : shawn ! tired of waiting . what do you got on carlos rivera ? is he lily 's brother or is he just treading on her name ? because if he is , i 'm gon na slit his throat right now . lulu : when dante and i set out to get pregnant , three of my eggs were harvested and fertilized , and one of those embryos was implanted into maxie . the other two -- they were frozen and stored in your lab in case we needed to try again if something happened . dante : which we decided we 'd like to do . we 'd like to try it again , so we came to the lab to see ellie to go over the logistics , and she ca n't locate the embryos . brad : look , i 'm sure they 're still there . ellie trout is notoriously absentminded . dante : we 're not talking about papers being put in the wrong drawer , okay ? our embryos were logged in and then never logged out . they 're not where they 're supposed to be . brad : look , i can see why you 'd be upset , okay ? but i can assure you that i 'll get to the bottom of this . dante : yeah , you will . that 'd be great . and you know why ? because if our embryos have gone missing or disappeared or whatever 's happened to them , i 'm gon na hold you personally responsible . brad : hey , come on . we 're all on the same team here , all right ? i 'm trying to get your embryos back , but it seems to me that you 're questioning the wrong guy . lulu : who would we talk to if it 's not you ? brad : if you want to know what happened ... ask dr. westbourne . britt : save your breath , okay ? threats will get you nowhere . dr. obrecht : oh , yes , they will . britt : i already told nikolas everything . he knows all there is to know about ben . dr. obrecht : and he has not cut ties with you ? please . you 're lying . britt : he 's a cassadine . he 's unshockable . plus , he 's had his fair share of dirt over the years , mostly coerced by his insane family , so he can relate to me . dr. obrecht : there is no way the right honorable nikolas cassadine could abide your presence if he knew what you had done . britt : well , you 're wrong . okay dr. obrecht : am i ? [ floor creaks ] dr. obrecht : then put the prince on the phone . i 'll ask him myself . lulu : why would we talk to dr. westbourne ? she does n't run the lab . brad : uh , correct me if i 'm wrong , but was n't she the doctor who initially handled the implantation ? lulu : yes , and we put a call in to her to cover our bases , but we have n't heard back yet . dante : you know what ? it does n't matter who our doctor is . britt had access to the lab , but you 're the one who 's in charge of it . okay ? your responsibility is for everything that goes in and out of that lab . it all begins and ends with you , okay ? now maybe it 's too much responsibility for you . maybe we should talk to your superiors and see if there 's someone who might be better- suited for the job ? brad : there 's no need for that , all right ? just let me look into it , okay ? dante : yeah . you look into it . and you let us know . brad : i 'll see what i can turn up . dante : yeah . hey . look forward to hearing from you soon , okay ? britt : sorry . i have to go . dr. obrecht : see that you do . go right now . to the police station . i will give you until the end of the hour before i make available for trade all the information i have on you and benjamin . nikolas : came back to bed , you were gone . britt : i did n't want to expose either of you to that . nikolas : who was on the phone ? britt : my mother . i snuck out because i knew you would n't be happy . look , you 're already brooding . nikolas : why is that woman bothering you ? britt : she 's at the end of her rope , and she does n't have anyone . nikolas : good . britt : not good . she 's going to keep calling . nikolas : then we 'll screen the calls . britt : she 'll find a way to get in touch with me , as long as she think she can guilt me into assisting her . nikolas : then we 'll change her thinking . britt : i agree . but i have to be the one to deal with her . okay ? nikolas : okay . britt : there 's no need for you to join me . nikolas : so you 're going back to the station now ? i thought we were gon na ... britt : [ laughs ] what ? [ both laugh ] nikolas : spoon . britt : nothing would make me more happy . tonight has been ... amazing . nikolas : i was just thinking the same thing . britt : i never knew how good it would feel to be so close to you . that is why ... i have to go and square the situation away with my mother . nikolas : tomorrow will come soon enough . britt : no . because if i wait too long , she will be determined , and she can cause damage , and i ca n't have that . duke : i 'm famished . anna : i 'm sure you are after your workout . duke : well , can you take a couple of hours away ? we can go someplace nice -- anna : no , i ca n't . i 've got obrecht cooling her heels in the interrogation room . duke : well , while she 's cooling , why ca n't we go forage ? anna : i do n't think i can face her on a full stomach , quite honestly . i need to question her first , after she 's finished her allotted phone call . duke : is she calling faison ? anna : why do you think that ? duke : well , she 's obsessed with him . i mean , does she have anybody else ? unfortunately for her , he 's locked up in steinmauer . anna : yeah , i know . duke : there 's nobody else gon na ride in to her rescue . anna : that 's exactly what i told her . so , speaking of obrecht , which i wish to god i did n't have to ... duke : she 's a subject best dropped permanently , i 'd say . anna : not until she 's convicted and put away for good . until then , she 's my responsibility . so i better get back in there and make sure she 's taking advantage of this phone call . duke : well , please do n't work too late and do n't work too hard because i would like to spend some time with you this evening . anna : you have something to do to preoccupy yourself , i hope ? duke : you do n't have to worry about me . i 've plenty to do . anna : okay . tj : you 're dumping me . molly : consider it a christmas gift . you 're off the hook , and now you can go for taylor . tj : i never said i wanted that . molly : but you 're thinking it , right ? i mean , who can you be in a real relationship with me if you 're jealous of rafe and taylor 's fake one ? tj : look , if one of us is jealous , it 's you , all right ? you 're obviously into rafe and have been ever since he hit town with his whole `` lost boy `` saga . molly : okay . if i 'm supposedly into rafe , then you must be head - over - heels in love with taylor ! tj : that 's not true ! molly : well , that 's what it looked like to me when you were checking taylor out under the mistletoe ! tj : come on . now you 're delusional . molly : no , actually , i think i 'm finally starting to see straight . good night , tj tj : do n't be like this . let 's just talk this out . molly : i 'm done talking ! go home ! morgan : are you sure that my dad snatched carlos ? julian : are you questioning me ? morgan : no . i 'm just saying maybe the guy took off . did n't he have all that -- all that drama with his ex just recently ? ava : no . carlos would not have taken off without letting us know . and sonny warned me . at a.j . quartermaine 's trial , he said he was gon na hit us back , and carlos is a soft target . god knows what sonny 's done to him . julian : well , if your boyfriend here had done a better job of planting that bug in sonny 's office , we 'd have some idea . morgan : okay . well , i screwed up , all right ? let me make it up to you . i 'll show you what i can do . julian : no , that 's okay . i think your particular talents are better suited to my sister . morgan : look , if my dad has carlos , then i can track him down . julian : what 're you gon na do ? just walk right up and ask the man ? morgan : who said anything about going to my dad ? i got a much easier mark in mind . lulu : are you always so hostile when you question someone ? dante : hostile ? hostile would have been me finding an excuse to place that guy under arrest . lulu : no , you would n't . dante : no , probably not , but he 's the lab manager . i mean , we 've entrusted him with our embryos , and now he ca n't find them ? i mean , it 's not like the dry- cleaners losing your favorite jacket . this is a part of us , our property . i mean , if he 's been negligent in any way , i 'll have no problem finding charges to place against him . lulu : i just do n't understand how this could 've happened . i mean , those embryos are treated with such care . it 's not like they can just disappear . dante : well , this guy 's either turning his storage facility upside down or he 's covering up for his own incompetence . either way , he 's not gon na show his face until he has something to tell us , so if you want to leave ... lulu : no . the waiting and wondering is n't gon na be any easier at home . i 'm not going anywhere until we get some answers from brad . dante : i just wonder where he went to get them . nikolas : [ sighs ] yes . may i help ... you . brad : whoa ! i ... certainly hope so . dr. obrecht : ah , the commissioner returns . i was beginning to think you had forgotten me . anna : not at all . no , you 're a priority here at the pcpd until we get you shipped off to pentonville or wherever you get sentenced . dr. obrecht : am i not entitled to a presumption of innocence ? anna : i have witnessed your crimes firsthand . i hope you put your phone call to good use 'cause you 're gon na need one hell of a lawyer . dr. obrecht : i 've done better . i found someone who will move heaven and earth to set me free and wo n't ask a penny in return . anna : great . who 's that ? dr. obrecht : there she is now . [ knock on door ] molly : i told you to go away ! oh . morgan : you did ? molly : no ! no , not you , never . i am so happy to see you . what are you doing here ? morn : i just thought i 'd stop by and see my favorite best - selling cousin . that 's all . molly : i 'm your only best - selling cousin , silly . morgan : you 're still my favorite , though . so , uh , are you busy ? it sounded like you were expecting someone or ... molly : i thought you were tj morgan : oh , relationship problems , huh ? molly : i think i 'm done with boys . morgan : yeah , well , boys suck , but ... hey , you know , i never heard anything bad about tj i always heard good things , except for , you know ... molly : except for what ? morgan : nothing . his guardian , shawn , works for my dad . molly : that 's right . morgan : molly , by -- by `` work `` i mean that shawn takes care of all my dad 's dirty work . okay ? so if tj is n't careful , then my dad and shawn ... are gon na ruin his life . sonny : we got any history on carlos yet ? shawn : we got a guy working on it . he 's still running the story down . it should be sooner . sonny : put a fire under your source . i want answers . i 'm sure carlos wants answers . it must be torture having to wait . shawn : [ chuckles ] sonny : but i get this feeling that you already know how it 's gon na end .

we all do , and we 're not supposed to talk about it . but shawn took over for jason , okay ? so now he 's my dad 's enforcer . molly : well , that does n't necessarily mean that he 's doing anything . morgan : what that means , molly , is that shawn takes care of my dad 's dirtiest business , okay ? and this guy that 's working with my ex 's mom ... molly : he works with kiki 's mom , ava jerome ? morgan : right . his name 's carlos , and he disappeared , and people think that shawn took him under my dad 's orders and did god knows what with the guy . molly : i mean , tj is n't a part of that stuff . morgan : right , but , look , michael was never part of my dad 's business , neither was kristina , and look at all the crap that happened to them just 'cause they had the last name `` corinthos . `` all right , i was lucky to get out while i could . tj may not be so lucky . he 's not in the position to do that . and if shawn 's as bad as people are saying , molly , tj could really get hurt . julian : well , well , look who it is , ava . duke lavery . ava : the family lapdog . julian : you 'll have to excuse my sister . her impressions of you are based on family stories of your disloyalty . she does n't know you the way i do . duke : as your better . julian : is this the way it 's gon na be ?

julian : [ chuckles ] yes , well , consider it a second chance -- an opportunity to atone for the harm you 've done to the jerome family . duke : the harm i 've done ? your father tried to enslave me , and your sister , she murdered my unborn child . julian : well , dad and olivia are gone now . i 'm willing to let your mistakes pass if you do the same in return . come on in . there 's no reason why we ca n't coexist , duke . seriously . and besides that , i 'm sure that anna would prefer it that way . duke : the only mistake i made was not killing you when i had the chance . ava : he 's got a gun . brad : if this is how you always answer the door , i have got to make a trip out here more often . nikolas : do you need something ? brad : a diaper , apparently . nikolas : goodbye . brad : okay ! okay , okay . sorry if i seem ... distracted , but i need to see dr. westbourne . nikolas : well , she 's not here . do n't bother coming around and conspiring with her . i know it all . britt told me everything . brad : she did ? nikolas : yes , she did . and it 's clear to me now why you never wanted to have anything to do with this child . you 're not ben 's father . lulu : maybe we 're wasting our time with brad . dante : well , let 's just hear what the guy has to say before we write him off , yeah ? lulu : why would we believe a word this guy has to say ? dante : hey , i do n't like him any better than you do , but we do know the truth about connie because of him . lulu : am i supposed to be grateful to him for that ? dante : i do n't know . knowing maxie , we would 've found out eventually , but it could 've been months from now and it would 've hurt that much more . lulu : yeah , maybe . have you heard that saying , `` ignorance is bliss `` ? i 've heard like a million times but i never really understood what it meant until that day . it was bliss believing that connie was ours , and now that bliss is gone , and i do n't believe for a second that brad told us out of the goodness of his heart . dante : i 'm with you there . he definitely does n't seem like the most selfless or well - intentioned guy . lulu : no , he is a sleaze . nikolas told me all about him . he conspired with britt to help her pass her son off as patrick 's . dante : speaking of dr. westbourne , she still has n't called us back . where the hell is she ? anna : oh , my god . i thought you were smarter than to throw in with your mother again . britt : i 'm not throwing in -- anna : well , then walk away ! do n't let her lure you back in . you 've got a child ! dr. obrecht : enough of your sanctimonious preaching ! how a double agent who abandoned her child for years can even think of handing out advice is beyond me ! anna : how someone who steals her own grandchild can then ask the mother of that child to help her is beyond me ! god , you are delusional . you know what ? i would tell you to have her committed , but we do n't want her getting off on any kind of insanity -- dr. obrecht : go tend that gremlin you gave birth to and stay out of my daughter 's affairs ! britt : i 'm here . dr. obrecht : of course you are . the only other option was to tell nikolas the truth , and we both know you do n't dare . better for everyone that you stick to the story that the dithering homosexual lab technician is cesar 's father . britt : yeah , well , that 's done . i -- i do n't want there to be any more lies between me and nikolas . i was going to tell him the whole truth . dr. obrecht : and you told him what instead ? britt : that i got an anonymous sperm donor . dr. obrecht : oh , yes . your original idea -- back when patrick was the prize . lucky for you , you consulted with your mutter . i had a far , far better plan to get you pregnant . dante : dr. westbourne , it 's dante falconeri calling you again . it 's important you call me as soon as possible . looking forward to hearing from you . she 's not gon na call us back tonight , but if i do n't hear from her by tomorrow , i 'm gon na take police launch out to wyndemere . that ought to get her attention . lulu : why are we even doing this ? dante : what do you mean ? lulu : it 's too soon . we 're just gon na get our hearts broken all over again . dante : no , we -- we do n't know that . lulu : we have n't even started . we 're already hitting roadblocks . maybe it 's just not meant to be . maybe we 're not supposed to have a child of our own . brad : what exactly did britt tell you ? nikolas : everything . that you 're not ben 's father . that she used an anonymous donor from the g.h . sperm bank , enlisted you in a cover - up because she did n't go through the proper channels in getting the sample . therefore , could n't handle the scrutiny . brad : well , i guess it 's all out in the open , then , huh ? nikolas : yes , it is . and since you no longer have an official connection to ben , it is with great pleasure ... that i announce to you that this entire island is private property . you 're not wanted here . turn around , leave , never come back . no one here wants to see you , not ever . dr. obrecht : surely you agree that my plan was the better of the two . surprise , surprise -- mutter knew best . mutter always knows best . britt : it can still all come out . dr. obrecht : how ? the lackwit lab flunky ? he stands to lose as much from the truth coming out as you do . and i will say nothing , provided my dear tochter is sufficiently thankful for all the help i have so selflessly provided . are you thankful , britta ? molly : i always worried that something would happen to tj because shawn works for uncle sonny . but i do n't know how to help . i mean , tj ca n't leave shawn . his mother 's out of the picture , and there is no way my mom would let tj live here . but he does n't have anyone else to go to . morgan : hey , look , i could be wrong about shawn . it 's just a rumor . molly : oh , but it sounds like the truth . i mean , what shawn does for uncle sonny is an open secret . morgan : yeah , but that does n't necessarily mean that he had to deal with carlos going awol . just if we had a way to find out for sure ... molly : well , maybe tj could find out . morgan : how ? molly : maybe he could -- i do n't know -- follow shawn or something . morgan : mm . that 's kind of risky . you know , we could n't let my dad find out . molly : well , it would look totally innocent . i mean , shawn is tj 's guardian , so if tj happens to show up where shawn is , it would n't look suspicious . morgan : yeah , that could work . molly : of course , i 'd have to get tj to listen to me first . morgan : it 's that bad , huh ? molly : it feels like all we do is fight . morgan : let me ask you -- do you still love him ? then you got to get through to him . molly , you have to keep him safe . shawn : tj , this is n't the greatest time , but if you could hold on for a little while -- tj : it 's okay , it 's okay . i get it . shawn : we 'll talk later ? tj : yeah . sure . shawn : okay . tj : and , shawn ... shawn : yeah . tj : hey , be careful , okay ? shawn : yeah . julian : get your hand out of your pocket , slowly . duke : my , are n't we jumpy ? you 're not as confident as you 'd have people believe , are you ? julian : hilarious . what is that ? duke : may i ? julian : go ahead . duke : `` dear julian ... it is without reluctance that i submit this letter of resignation . i offer no notice and believe no explanation is required . if , however , you so desire it , consider my grounds the following -- you and your gormless sister are a blight on port charles . i spent too much time of my life yoked to the vulgar ambitions of your family . i refuse to serve your purpose a day longer or risk my ruin to bring about yours . cheers . duke . `` well , it certainly seems to be easier saying goodbye to the jeromes a second time around . julian : mm . duke : i wish you both good night and good ... actually , why do n't we just leave it at `` good night . `` julian : you do n't think it 's that simple , do you , lavery ? for you or for anna ? duke : i know it 's that simple . but i dare you to complicate it . sonny : [ breathes deeply ] shawn : [ sighs ] sonny : i take it our visitor was n't your guy . shawn : no . no , it was tj sonny : is he okay ? shawn : yeah , just the usual -- girl trouble . molly : what are you doing ? tj : uh , i got this for you . for christmas ... before everything . i ca n't return it , so , uh ... i just wanted to leave it for you . you can do whatever you want with it . see you around . molly : uh , wait . i was just coming to look for you . tj : you were ? why ? molly : to ... apologize . i should n't have jumped all over you , tj i mean , you were right -- i was a little jealous -- but not because i want rafe . i love you , tj tj : i love you , too , molly . molly : thank god . i hate it when we fight . tj : me too . look , i should go . shawn said he 'd be home soon , and he 'll be looking for me . molly : um , not yet . i need to talk to you about something . tj : oh , come on . is it about taylor ? molly : no . it 's about shawn . [ train horn blows in distance ] sonny : i guess you have one more reprieve . consider this a gift from my late wife , lily . she was raised in this business . she understood it . she accepted that steps had to be taken , messages had to be sent ... and sometimes people , they just have to die . so enjoy your last night , and remember -- you would 've died a lot easier if you had n't lied . carlos : i 'm not lying ! sonny : you 're lying ! shawn : sonny , we 've got a visitor . you 're gon na want to talk to him outside . sonny : [ breathes deeply ] [ door closes ] sonny : shawn , he 's with us . are n't you , duke ? duke : without a doubt . i just came from seeing julian and ava . sonny : and ? duke : i did what we planned . i officially parted ways with the jeromes . i 'm eager to take the next step , sonny . sonny : welcome to the fold , lavery . ava : what did you learn about carlos ? morgan : nothing yet , but i laid the groundwork . i think we 'll pick up carlos 's trail soon .

[ cleo fantasizing ] gwen : i 'm counting on you , cleo . i have to rehearse , so can you keep will busy ? can you do that for me ? keep him happy ? because i might be gone all day . cleo : sure . absolutely , gwen . whatever -- [ door closing ] will : what was that ? cleo : oh , that was just gwen slamming the door . she had a rehearsal to go to . will : so she 's gone ? good . i 've been waiting for a chance to be alone . do you know how long i 've been waiting for this ? seems like forever . [ door opening ] cleo : hello . will : is n't this our room ? cleo : yes . but i thought , in order to save money , i 'd bunk up with you guys . will : are n't you bunking with noah and maddie ? cleo : do n't worry , i wo n't be any trouble . in fact , you wo n't even know that i 'm here . will : i 'm not worried about you being trouble , but gwen and i could use some privacy . cleo : but i 've already unpacked my suitcase and everything . besides , i 'm gwen 's assistant . she needs me . gwen : well , when i need you , i 'll find you , i promise . will : you know , noah and maddie are downstairs . so why do n't we take their room and then they can just move in with you . cleo : no . gwen : that 's a great idea . so grab a bed and some closet space . and we 'll be right down the hall . cleo : fine . will : you okay , cleo ? cleo : yeah . you guys want to be alone . i understand . gwen : okay . we 'll see you later . cleo : wait . gwen , this is for you . has your name on it and everything . they gave it to you 'cause you 're such a big star . gwen : oh , that 's really nice . you keep it . cleo : oh , i could never eat your fruit . will : noah and maddie could . it 's good fiber . gwen : you guys share it . we 'll see you later . cleo : big star -- noah : whoa . batter up . maddie : are you mad at us , cleo ? i mean , 'cause gwen said everything was fine -- that you were okay with sharing a room . lily : i 'll call you later to reschedule . okay , bye . okay , tell me this again . jade hired someone to impersonate gwen munson ? and that person ran will off the road ? luke : yeah , and jade feels really , really bad about what she 's done -- lily : when is she going to get over this obsession she has with will and gwen ? luke : she 's over it . she 's been over it since the moment that cleo got here . but cleo has other ideas . she was kind of , i do n't know , like really star- struck with gwen or something -- like , wanted to be just like her . and then she fell for will . and then she weaseled her way into their life so much that she got invited to live with them in their home . lily : jade got the girl to live with -- luke : no , no , no , no , no , no , no . this was all cleo . jade tried to get rid of cleo several times , but this girl gives new meaning to the word `` stubborn . `` so jade got suspicious . and she was right , because she got her hands on cleo 's diary and it has all this really creepy stuff in it . like stalker - type stuff . lily : well , who would answer an ad like that ? i mean , really . luke : well , that 's why jade went to will to warn him and tell him what she 'd done . she wanted him to watch his back around cleo . and that 's when cleo lost it . the minute it looked like will was starting to doubt her , she staged this accident and she made it look like jade was responsible . okay , i know it sounds crazy . lily : is will okay ? luke : yeah . i mean , he 's really shaken up , but he 'll be okay . lily : and jade was arrested ? luke : they found her necklace at the scene . wait , mom , mom -- i know , i know . but jade came to me a couple days ago and she told me that she 'd lost her necklace . and now she thinks that cleo actually took it and planted it at the scene to make jade look guilty . anyway , i 'd bail her out myself , but i do n't have the money . lily : what are the charges ? luke : the most serious is attempted manslaughter . lily : oh , my god . luke : i know it sounds awful . lily : it is awful . it 's awful . luke : you want to know what the worst part is ? it 's that cleo is still out there , and jade 's powerless . nobody believes her . lily : i do n't blame them . noah : woak 's on a pretty tight budget . but if you do n't want me to stay here , i can call a friend . cleo : oh no , do n't be silly . it was the plan from the beginning for all of us to bunk together . i was just trying to open up this basket here . i 'm such a klutz , they went flying everywhere . i 'll clean it up . noah : that 's why they have room service . besides , we got ta get going . gwen 's got rehearsal . cleo : good luck . she and will were talking about private time . maddie : well , cleo , they are married . cleo : i 'm just saying -- she 's not going to be very happy if you interrupt them . noah : well , they can have some private time after the concert . i just got a text from the theatre . they 're ready for us now . cleo : really ? well then , i guess its back to work , then . luke : but why would jade go to will , warn him , and then try to run him off the road ? that does n't make any sense . lily : and we may never understand why . you know , the one thing i 've learned in the past few months is that sometimes people do n't know what drives them , or why . luke : what if she 's innocent ? you know what it 's like to have people not trust you because of the mistakes you 've made . dad forgave you . even grandmother forgave you . lily : i know , and i 'm very grateful . luke : look , and jade knows what she did was messed up . and that 's why she went to will . lily : how did he react ? luke : he called the cops . because she had to break into his house . but it was only because -- it was only because she wanted to get to cleo 's diary . lily : you ever think that maybe this car accident was retaliation on jade 's part because of will turning her in ? luke : no . jade lies -- you know that , i know that . but she 's not violent . she would never hurt anyone -- not will especially . lily : i do n't know , this all sounds very bizarre . luke : look , i did n't believe it either , myself . but if you think jade 's conniving , you 've never met cleo . lily : no . now they 've turned on each other . we should just leave it at that . maybe jade should suffer the consequences . luke : but mom , all she did was get a ticket for this girl to come to town and then just tell her to go straight home . the rest was up to cleo . lily : yes , according to jade . we have given her so many chances -- luke : what if it were me ? if i had screwed up ? you know aunt rose would give me another chance . lily : you 're not jade . luke : please . if you do n't want to do it for jade , do it for me . do it for aunt rose . noah : we 're here at the amazing andy williams moon river theatre , and gwen munson is in the house ! gwen : hey , everybody ! i 'm so thrilled to be here . and to be able to perform here and for such a great cause . noah : you want to remind the folks why we 're here ? gwen : yes . we 're here to raise money for the families of police officers who have given their lives in the line of duty . actually , my father - in - law , lieutenant harold munson , was killed defending a robbery victim . so , this is a very special moment for me , and i 'm very honored to be a part of it . noah : and that 's a wrap . great . maddie : oh , are you going to get some footage with andy williams ? gwen : i 'm sure andy williams has better things to do with his time than watch me rehearse . noah : which is in about ten minutes . so , you better head inside to the dressing rooms . gwen : okay . is my stuff even here yet ? will : yeah . i told cleo go back to the inn and get it . gwen : so we 're going to be alone for a little bit ? will : yeah , in the dressing room , for a little alone time . gwen : hmm ! will : hmm . gwen : hmm . maddie : oh , you should get some back stage footage . gabe : noah ? noah : gabe ! gabe : good to see you . noah : good to see you , man . maddie , this is gabe . we used to work together . maddie : hi . gabe : hey , as in i used to work for him . noah : now he 's got my old job . maddie : oh , you 're the stage manager ? gabe : assistant stage manager . noah : gabe set all this up . gabe : i 'm surprised you 're here , noah . is n't this a little too close to home ? gwen : oh my gosh . this place is amazing . can you believe it ? will : you deserve it . gwen : none of this would 've happened without you . will : yeah , you 're right . cleo : oh , i 'm sorry . i thought you needed these . will : uh yeah , she does . thanks . cleo : do you want to try these on , gwen ?

and that person ran will off the road ? luke : yeah , and jade feels really , really bad about what she 's done -- lily : when is she going to get over this obsession she has with will and gwen ? luke : she 's over it . she 's been over it since the moment that cleo got here . but cleo has other ideas . she was kind of , i do n't know , like really star- struck with gwen or something -- like , wanted to be just like her . and then she fell for will . and then she weaseled her way into their life so much that she got invited to live with them in their home . lily : jade got the girl to live with -- luke : no , no , no , no , no , no , no . this was all cleo . jade tried to get rid of cleo several times , but this girl gives new meaning to the word `` stubborn . `` so jade got suspicious . and she was right , because she got her hands on cleo 's diary and it has all this really creepy stuff in it . like stalker - type stuff . lily : well , who would answer an ad like that ? i mean , really . luke : well , that 's why jade went to will to warn him and tell him what she 'd done . she wanted him to watch his back around cleo . and that 's when cleo lost it . the minute it looked like will was starting to doubt her , she staged this accident and she made it look like jade was responsible . okay , i know it sounds crazy . lily : is will okay ? luke : yeah . i mean , he 's really shaken up , but he 'll be okay . lily : and jade was arrested ? luke : they found her necklace at the scene . wait , mom , mom -- i know , i know . but jade came to me a couple days ago and she told me that she 'd lost her necklace . and now she thinks that cleo actually took it and planted it at the scene to make jade look guilty . anyway , i 'd bail her out myself , but i do n't have the money . lily : what are the charges ? luke : the most serious is attempted manslaughter . lily : oh , my god . luke : i know it sounds awful . lily : it is awful . it 's awful . luke : you want to know what the worst part is ? it 's that cleo is still out there , and jade 's powerless . nobody believes her . lily : i do n't blame them . noah : woak 's on a pretty tight budget . but if you do n't want me to stay here , i can call a friend . cleo : oh no , do n't be silly . it was the plan from the beginning for all of us to bunk together . i was just trying to open up this basket here . i 'm such a klutz , they went flying everywhere . i 'll clean it up . noah : that 's why they have room service . besides , we got ta get going . gwen 's got rehearsal . cleo : good luck . she and will were talking about private time . maddie : well , cleo , they are married . cleo : i 'm just saying -- she 's not going to be very happy if you interrupt them . noah : well , they can have some private time after the concert . i just got a text from the theatre . they 're ready for us now . cleo : really ? well then , i guess its back to work , then . luke : but why would jade go to will , warn him , and then try to run him off the road ? that does n't make any sense . lily : and we may never understand why . you know , the one thing i 've learned in the past few months is that sometimes people do n't know what drives them , or why . luke : what if she 's innocent ? you know what it 's like to have people not trust you because of the mistakes you 've made . dad forgave you . even grandmother forgave you . lily : i know , and i 'm very grateful . luke : look , and jade knows what she did was messed up . and that 's why she went to will . lily : how did he react ? luke : he called the cops . because she had to break into his house . but it was only because -- it was only because she wanted to get to cleo 's diary . lily : you ever think that maybe this car accident was retaliation on jade 's part because of will turning her in ? luke : no . jade lies -- you know that , i know that . but she 's not violent . she would never hurt anyone -- not will especially . lily : i do n't know , this all sounds very bizarre . luke : look , i did n't believe it either , myself . but if you think jade 's conniving , you 've never met cleo . lily : no . now they 've turned on each other . we should just leave it at that . maybe jade should suffer the consequences . luke : but mom , all she did was get a ticket for this girl to come to town and then just tell her to go straight home . the rest was up to cleo . lily : yes , according to jade . we have given her so many chances -- luke : what if it were me ? if i had screwed up ? you know aunt rose would give me another chance . lily : you 're not jade . luke : please . if you do n't want to do it for jade , do it for me . do it for aunt rose . noah : we 're here at the amazing andy williams moon river theatre , and gwen munson is in the house ! gwen : hey , everybody ! i 'm so thrilled to be here . and to be able to perform here and for such a great cause . noah : you want to remind the folks why we 're here ? gwen : yes . we 're here to raise money for the families of police officers who have given their lives in the line of duty . actually , my father - in - law , lieutenant harold munson , was killed defending a robbery victim . so , this is a very special moment for me , and i 'm very honored to be a part of it . noah : and that 's a wrap . great . maddie : oh , are you going to get some footage with andy williams ? gwen : i 'm sure andy williams has better things to do with his time than watch me rehearse . noah : which is in about ten minutes . so , you better head inside to the dressing rooms . gwen : okay . is my stuff even here yet ? will : yeah . i told cleo go back to the inn and get it . gwen : so we 're going to be alone for a little bit ? will : yeah , in the dressing room , for a little alone time . gwen : hmm ! will : hmm . gwen : hmm . maddie : oh , you should get some back stage footage . gabe : noah ? noah : gabe ! gabe : good to see you . noah : good to see you , man . maddie , this is gabe . we used to work together . maddie : hi . gabe : hey , as in i used to work for him . noah : now he 's got my old job . maddie : oh , you 're the stage manager ? gabe : assistant stage manager . noah : gabe set all this up . gabe : i 'm surprised you 're here , noah . is n't this a little too close to home ? gwen : oh my gosh . this place is amazing . can you believe it ? will : you deserve it . gwen : none of this would 've happened without you . will : yeah , you 're right . cleo : oh , i 'm sorry . i thought you needed these . will : uh yeah , she does . thanks . cleo : do you want to try these on , gwen ? and see what you want to wear tonight ? gwen : yeah , but i 'm going to warm up my voice first . it feels a little tight . cleo : oh , okay . we 'll get out of your way then . come on , will , let 's go see if we can find those little lozenges she likes . will : you go . i 'm going to stay here with gwen . cleo : oh . all right . will : let 's see what we can do about warming you up . [ knock on the door ] gwen : okay , if that 's cleo -- will : no , i 'll get rid of her . cleo -- mr. williams . andy : andy , please . hello . will : i 'm fine . i 'm will munson , and this is my wife , gwen . gwen : hi . andy : hi , i 've heard great things about you , gwen . gwen : oh , good . it 's really nice to meet you . i 've been a fan for -- actually forever . andy : well , that 's nice to hear . are you ready to rehearse ? gwen : are you going to be there ? andy : would n't miss it . [ gwen humming ] [ cameras clicking ] gabe : you 're all set ? gwen : ah , this place is huge . woman : so andy , do you think she 's got what it takes ? andy : i think she 's terrific . tim : yeah , she 's fantastic . when do i get to talk to her ? woman : soon as we can . gabe : you good to go ? gwen : yeah . yeah i 'm good to go . gabe : great . i 'll cue the music , then you hit it . gwen : all right . i 'll hit it . luke : hey , i had to tell her . she was going to find out anyway . and i did n't have any money for bail . dallas : and since ms. snyder has n't decided if she 's going to pay your bail , we 're going to have to keep this short . let me know what you want to do , and i 'll file the paperwork . lily : thank you . jade : i 'm really , really sorry lily , that -- that i lied to you about the money , and about bringing cleo to town . it was really stupid . lily : and dangerous . but we all made mistakes . jade : you have to know , i had nothing to do with this accident . cleo is trying to set me up . luke can tell you i lost my necklace , and she must 've taken it from me . lily : yes , luke filled me in . it sounds very complicated . jade : you have to know , i would never ever hurt anybody . lily : i hope not . i really do . jade : and if you do n't believe me i understand . i know , i 've lied to you so many times in the past . so if you feel i -- i do n't deserve your help right now , that 's fine . but somebody has to help gwen and will . cleo is dangerous . there 's no telling what she 's gon na do . luke : i talked to dallas . jade : is he gon na get a search warrant ? oh my god . cleo is going to get away with this , and worse . lily : okay , all right , i will pay your bail , i will get you an attorney , for my sister 's sake . rose never gave up on me . i 'm not ready to give up on you . jade : thank you , lily . you have no idea how much this means to me . lily : do n't make me regret this . jade : i wo n't , i promise .

[ scene_break ] clint : it 's a conspiracy . lindsay : are you sure you 're just not being paranoid ? clint : no . webster and cobb took great glee in making sure that i knew that these attacks were not going to stop . lindsay : hmm . did they elaborate at all ? clint : that 's all they said . lindsay : well , clint , i 'll tell you one thing -- is you 're going to have to get to the bottom of this . because if it is a conspiracy , that means someone is behind it . and who is it ?

[ scene_break ] ramsey : now , i know you and mcbain are friends . antonio : were . ramsey : okay . antonio : he 's a good cop . ramsey : no . he might be if he could ever control his insecurities , but he takes shortcuts and protects people he feels he needs to impress . we know he needs to impress the ladies .

viki goes to b.e . in the hopes that clint can assure her that todd wrote a slanderous article about him . but he tells her todd was correct . he is ready to go for the juggler with many business rivals and stop at nothing . and she is shocked . starr does not know what she 's going to do with being 16 and pregnant . jared and charlie run into pamela stewart . she rips into charlie for abandoning his family , being a drunk and letting them get abused by her brother . but they tell her that maybe she should blame her brother instead of them . she informs them that he died recently . natalie still does not plan on telling anybody that jared is not a buchanan . he asks her why , since she hates him so much and wants to get rid of him . clint is ready to go after a man named calvin jenkins , who is obviously clean and incapable of crooked behavior . dorian meets with calvin and tries to get him to buy out and overthrow b.e . he may not . but clint is ready to go after him with the help of lindsay . ramsay is working on his three officers . he 's acting really nice to antonio , complimenting his work and his family values and telling him what a low life john is . meanwhile , john and talia are getting really close while being alienated by both ramsay and antonio .

[ scene_break ] dorian : i may not own 35 % of your morality , but i do own 35 % of the stock of your company , and influence over a great deal more . and that 's why i am confident that i can persuade you to make a move against buchanan enterprises . calvin : well , somehow -- just somehow , this seems like a personal attack -- on clint . dorian : this is strictly business . i have nothing against clint . not at all . he means nothing to me . [ scene_break ] markko : was cole in homeroom ? he has our lab report and it 's due today . i 'm sorry . starr : markko , it 's okay to say cole 's name . it 's not like i was n't thinking about him , anyway . langston : well , i have n't seen him . hey , did you hear ? they set up the trip for europe to winter break . usually , they do n't do that till the summer . markko : what ? that 's insane . like anyone 's going to commit that far in the future ? it 's nine months away . who knows what 'll be happening then ? starr : you know what ? um -- i 'm sorry ; i just forgot to put something in my locker . markko : what did i say now ? starr : well , is n't that just great ? the trip to europe was changed to winter break . and i 'll probably be changing diapers by then . you know what ? i can not do this . cole : you ca n't do what ? [ scene_break ] calvin : now , i may be missing something , but when you contacted me , i could have sworn you said something about a terrific business proposition . dorian : if your company buys out those b.e . subsidiaries , you have effectively crushed the competition . calvin : and crushed my own company , as well . i ca n't overextend myself like that . dorian : but i told you , i have capital to invest -- capital that will insure the security of your company . there is no risk involved at all . unless you turn down my offer . [ calvin whistles ] [ dorian chuckles ] calvin : why , why , why are you so hell - bent on bringing down b.e . ? let 's see , let 's see . you say clint means nothing to you , but were n't you seeing him not so long ago ? dorian : ancient history . calvin : well , last summer , from what i heard . my god , that 's it , is n't it ? that 's what this is about . this is all about revenge . [ scene_break ] bo : how did you find out about this ? [ viki chuckles ] viki : todd gave me this as a heads - up . so naturally , i came over to ask clint to refute these accusations against him , as i was certain that they were not true . at which point , clint assured me that they were , indeed , true . and you both knew about it , right ? natalie : well , not all of it . the webster bit is news to all of us . bo : clint led us to believe that webster backed out on the deal at the last minute . viki : oh . so clint lied to you . natalie : well -- um -- we knew about cobb . because dad tore into him in front of us . viki : oh . virgil and warren were some of asa 's closest friends . natalie : okay , mom , but if they were such good friends of grandpa 's , why would they be going after buchanan enterprises ? bo : look , in pa 's world , millions can be made or lost on nothing but a handshake . and friendships can turn on a dime . now , i -- whatever these guys ' relationships really happened to be with pa , they wanted to take pa 's company away from this family . viki : maybe so , but their actions were directed at the company . the company , bo , not the buchanans personally . there had to have been a legitimate way to fight this . bo : well , with webster , we did try everything . what clint did was -- it was a last resort . viki : and stopping warren cobb by taking away his company , his livelihood , and then humiliating him in front of the family -- that -- was that a last resort , too ? bo : well , i did talk to clint about that . we all felt that maybe he might have gone just a little bit too far -- viki : yeah ! bo : and if -- no , if it makes you feel better , he agreed , okay ? he promised that he 's going to change his ways . [ scene_break ] lindsay : calvin jenkins ? well , let 's see . compared to cobb and webster , he 's a choirboy . [ clint sighs ] clint : i 'm not asking for your opinion . lindsay : oh , i know what you 're asking me for . you want to know if there 's something in sam 's old files that you can use against him . clint : yes . lindsay : well , i 'm not sure off the top of my head , but i will take a look for you . the man is a pillar of the community . clint : if he 's such a pillar of the community , why is he coming after my family with a vengeance ? [ scene_break ] jared : pamela , please do n't speak to my father that way . charlie : no , jared , it 's okay . i deserve this . charlie : no , charlie , listen . pamela is my stepfather 's sister . pamela : yeah , and -- jared : she was also like a second mom to me when i needed her . pamela : wait a minute -- are n't you the man that saved jared 's life ? jared : he is . pamela : but -- but your name was n't banks . jared : well , charlie 's been using an alias , because of me . he 's given up a lot to protect me , so – pamela : oh . well , i 'd say he 's a couple decades late . charlie : look , i was n't there when my kids needed me , and you were . and god knows , i am very grateful to you for that . pamela : well , you were n't very grateful back then . i mean , do you remember anything about that decade , charlie ? no , i suppose not . because you were drowning in liquor . i know you could n't remember the disappointed look of those two little boys when they waited for you every night , when they waited for you to show up for their birthdays , and you never came . and i ca n't believe you are defending this man . i mean , i do n't know how you can stand here and -- you had better not disappoint him again . charlie : never . [ scene_break ] ramsey : you 're a good cop , vega . but you can even be a better one , as long as you do n't let yourself get dragged down by walking black holes like john mcbain . [ scene_break ] john : you need a friend , you can talk to me . talia : well , no , i ca n't . antonio flips out every time i do . he has this crazy idea -- paranoid idea that there 's something going on between us . john : maybe it 's not so paranoid . [ scene_break ] cole : starr , what ca n't you do ? starr : i ca n't talk to you . cole : starr , shaun 's not allowed inside the building . none of the kids are going to tell anyone . starr , i have to talk to you . i miss you so much . starr : i miss you , too . cole : your dad let you back in school . i mean , maybe he 'll let us go -- start -- starr : he 's not going to let us see each other , cole . you know what he threatened to do to you . and with the new police commissioner , he can put you in jail . cole : well , your dad 's easing up on you , is n't he ? starr : he 's not going to let me see you . cole , he walked in on us . cole : what did you tell your parents -- about what happened that night ? starr : i told them that he walked in before anything happened . cole : we both know that 's not true . [ scene_break ] viki : bo , you are deluding yourself . bo : well , viki , i know clint , and he 's -- viki : no , clint is not sorry . he 's not sorry at all . i just talked to him . not only is he unapologetic , he told me that he will continue to use personal attacks , or whatever he deems necessary to protect this company . bo : well , but when you confronted him about this article , i think he felt defensive . viki : oh , but i never confronted him . bo : but , viki , you -- you have very high standards of conduct . viki : yeah , so do you . so does clint . bo : yeah . and i think that 's why he 's not anxious for this all to -- to get out . this is not something that he 's proud of . viki : hmm . natalie : dad 's under a lot of pressure , mom . viki : honey , your father has always worked under pressure . he has never before been tempt -- i do n't know what i 'm doing . i mean , this is absolutely none of my business . natalie : no , yes , it is . viki : no , it is not , okay ? clint can run his company any which way he wants to . he does n't have to justify anything to me . [ scene_break ] clint : it 's a conspiracy . lindsay : are you sure you 're just not being paranoid ? clint : no . webster and cobb took great glee in making sure that i knew that these attacks were not going to stop . lindsay : hmm . did they elaborate at all ? clint : that 's all they said . lindsay : well , clint , i 'll tell you one thing -- is you 're going to have to get to the bottom of this . because if it is a conspiracy , that means someone is behind it . and who is it ? [ scene_break ] dorian : `` revenge `` -- [ dorian chuckles ] dorian : i never liked that word . it has such negative connotation . calvin : you know , i seem to remember clint with his brother 's ex - wife at that charity ball my wife dragged me to . that 's what this is about , is n't it ? he dumped you for her , and now you want to bring down his company ? dorian : i did not call you here to talk about my personal life , and i am not going to . i 'm far more interested in your personal life . calvin : and what interests you ? dorian : skeletons . come on . what kind of skeletons do you have rattling around in your closet , cal ? [ scene_break ] jared : pamela , the things we were talking about were painful enough when we lived through them . but reliving them – pamela : why are you defending him ? oh , no , i ca n't even stand here listening to them -- charlie : no , pamela , just wait a minute ! jared : ahem . charlie : now , look , i deserve that . i deserve your anger . but how about your brother , hmm ? how about the guy who beat a woman and two kids ? how about the guy who chased a little kid out into the highway until he got hit by a car and died ? do you think he even shed a tear for jimmy ? jared : charlie -- [ charlie sighs ] pamela : i feel sorrier about that night -- you will never know how badly i feel . if only i could have known , and if i had been able to do something -- i should have known . valerie -- she used to tell me everything was all right . she had excuses for the brui -- and he never -- he never touched them when i was around . but i -- i should have known . maybe that is why you guys were always so happy when i got there . charlie : all these years , i 've been blaming myself . jared 's been blaming himself . when the guy who was most responsible , who never should be allowed to hurt another kid , is out blithely living his life . well , no more . your brother 's going to have to pay for what he did . [ scene_break ] ramsey : now , i know you and mcbain are friends . antonio : were . ramsey : okay . antonio : he 's a good cop . ramsey : no . he might be if he could ever control his insecurities , but he takes shortcuts and protects people he feels he needs to impress . we know he needs to impress the ladies .

[ scene_break ] pamela : oh , right , now it 's time for vengeance , is it , charlie ? you 're too late . my brother , harlan , died in a bar fight two years ago . look , i -- i know what he was , but he was my brother . jared : well , i 'd like to say i 'm sorry , but – pamela : no , no , you do n't have to say anything at all . jared : oh , well -- hold on . why -- i 'm just -- why did you come to town without telling me in the first place ? pamela : oh -- natalie did n't want me to say anything . ah -- she had me come all the way here just to talk about you . jared : really ? pamela : mm - hmm . [ scene_break ] calvin : well , i 'm not running for president . and even if i did have personal dirty laundry , i would n't air it out for the editor of `` craze . `` now , i have also known clint since i was a boy . and i am certain he would not use sensitive personal information to scuttle a business deal . dorian : your old mentor asa would have done it in a minute . calvin : yeah . [ dorian chuckles ] dorian : you know , asa 's not with us anymore , but his successor is very much his son . huh - huh . i would n't waste moral compunction on clint , because he certainly would n't waste it on you . calvin : even if what you say is true -- which it ai n't -- what makes you think i would debase myself in that manner ? dorian : who said anything about debasing ? no , no , no , no , no . all you need to do is make a strong move against clint , and he will counter . because i am sure your closet is clean as a whistle . calvin : oh , it 's clean -- and shining . dorian : then clint 's in for a big fall .

[ scene_break ] brooke : oh , my god . look at me , tearing up like this . ( sighs ) oliver : as long as they 're happy tears . brooke : ( laughs ) ( sniffles ) yeah . i was just so afraid that she would n't get past this . ( sighs ) but now that she 's letting you back in her life , it means that she 's healing . oliver : uh , the necklace -- the one i gave hope , do you still have it ? brooke : oh . um ... ( sighs ) oh , she was devastated and she threw this at me . it was broken , so i had it fixed in case she 'd want it back . oliver : thank you . brooke : look , i know it 's going to take some time . but the fact that she 's forgiving you -- maybe i 'm not too far behind . hope : ( sighs ) [ scene_break ] bill : there is nothing that i hate more than a stool pigeon , and by selling out one of my subordinates , you are the very definition . so if i ever see you in this building again , you will get a lot more than a tongue lashing . do you understand me ? liam : well , you know what ? that works out just fine for me , 'cause i 'm an unpaid intern . being sacked by you hurts about as much as a mosquito bite . but seeing what this sabotage tribute has done to hope logan , somebody like that has nothing to do with any of this , and yet she continues to pay the price while you and spencer publications reap the rewards of the story . how do you sleep at night ? bill : like a baby . [ scene_break ] brooke : hope . ( sighs ) hi , honey . oliver was just telling me the news about you two . oliver : i hope you do n't mind i know how much it would mean to your mom . brooke : must have been a very romantic evening .

( laughs ) uh , last night , he -- he wrote the chinese symbol for `` hope `` on the moon . i mean -- i mean , not -- you know , not on the moon , really , but when you look through the telescope , that -- that 's what it seems like . ( giggles ) i - i did n't think that that night could get any better . but when you kissed me , all those horrible visions that i had were gone . and they just went away . all those ... bad dreams were over . um ... almost all of them . mom , i 'm sorry . i - i - i wish things could be the way they used to be , but , um ... brooke : no , i ... ( sighs ) i understand . it 's just ... you need a little more time . i 'm just happy for you and oliver . ( sighs ) [ scene_break ] taylor : i do n't want you to be upset about this , thomas . thomas : you gave all your shares to my sister . ( sets mug on table ) it 's kind of a shock , mom . taylor : well , something major had to be done at the time . thomas : for steffy , because dad kicked her out . i agree that was a mistake , but i 'm not sure about the way you handled it . i mean , it 's gon na take some getting used to -- steffy , a big - time owner . steffy : all right , all right , all right . my first order of business -- as a part owner of this company , i 'd like to propose to the c.e.o . that we give my big brother a raise and a promotion . hmm . i 'm thinking , like , thomas forrester , vice president of development , huh ? how does that sound ? ridge : sounds like i should have thought of it myself . steffy : hey . ( laughs ) ridge : congratulations , mr. vice president . taylor : wow . well , this is turning into a banner day for the forresters . that 's so great . ridge : and to think , just a few days ago , bill spencer was trying to get his hands on steffy 's shares . steffy : oh . taylor : what ? thomas : i hope you laughed in his face . steffy : actually , dad came to my rescue , not that i needed rescuing . ridge : the man 's a shark . he 's not gon na stop coming after your 25 % . steffy : yeah , that 's true . but , dad , forrester means way too much to me . and as long as i have your love and respect , and i know that you support me , you do n't have to worry about bill spencer . i promise you , i am gon na do everything i can to make this the best time for the forresters . i promise . thomas : ( sighs ) ( door opens ) ridge : i 'll get a memo out to everyone letting them know about your promotion . steffy : ooh . and i will call dollar bill , see if his blood pressure 's through the stratosphere yet . taylor : mm , a lawsuit like this would not be in his best interest . only it 's not going away . we all know what bill and his lackeys did , and we can prove it . steffy : yeah , with liam 's help . thomas : liam ? liam , the i.t . guy ? steffy : okay , well , he apologized . ridge : i do n't trust him . he 's a weird kid . and get this -- he 's actually claiming i 'm his dad . thomas : what ? ! steffy : what ? ! taylor : why would he do that ? ridge : because he never really knew his real dad , so he comes to forrester , has it in his head he 's gon na find him , and he just happens to pick me . thomas : what , is he trying to shake you down ? ridge : i do n't know . i ca n't figure the guy out . i do n't really know what he 's after . [ scene_break ] bill : well , you 're just a real bleeding heart , are n't you ? liam : yeah , well , at least i have a heart . bill : no , what you have is a missed opportunity . you had a chance to do well for yourself here . but instead you had to be the hero . trying to impress hope logan , are we ? got yourself a little puppy crush , romeo ?

casey and allison reconnect after he sets up a romantic date for them on the hospital roof . they promise to try to communicate better . meanwhile , communication is lacking when tom is less then thrilled to find riley / adam and margo closer then ever . instead of sharing his feelings with margo , he simply tells them that he has gotten riley / adam a job at a law firm in milwaukee and he would be leaving that night , as margo is very upset . riley / adam is forced to go along . margo panics and enlists casey 's help to stop tom from sending adam away . casey speaks with tom about why he is doing this and finds out that tom is worried there might be something inappropriate going on between margo and riley , as casey finds it hard not to tell him the truth . casey is able to talk tom out of sending riley away , as margo is thrilled but horrified when casey explains why tom acted the way he did . margo and tom reconnect afterwards , but margo still is n't able to share the truth about adam . a relieved adam learns that casey stepped up for him and allison is pleased to see this too . jack decides that sage and parker should live with him because he ca n't trust rosanna and craig . he heads off to break the news . craig offers terri a job as nanny to sage and parker , but terri is n't sure . when craig sweetens the deal with a job at summer 's end at metro , terri jumps at this . sage is tickled to learn her friend terri will be living with her this summer . rosanna is sure that jack wo n't like not being consulted , and her observation is very accurate when jack does n't want anything to do with a stranger taking care of his kids and is just as annoyed that craig took it upon himself to hire her . terri does n't like jack 's reaction , but does n't have much to say about it . sage is very upset to learn jack vetoed terri moving in , as is parker . jack tries to smooth things over later at the farm , but sage wants none of his explanations . terri realizes that she did n't give sage her contact information so rosanna and craig give her directions to the farm , as sage is thrilled to see terri . jack , however , is not at all happy and goes as far as accusing terri of stalking sage , which infuriates terri . janet hears the commotion and heads out and is shocked to find jack and sage with her long lost sister .

( chuckles ) [ scene_break ] nick : so i 'm listening now . what went down with you and skye in hawaii ? sharon : does that mean that you believe that she was there ? because then you would have to admit that adam did n't murder skye . nick : i 'm just trying to understand what happened in hawaii . sharon : why ? you want to use that as evidence against me in family court ? what ? `` sharon is delusional . sharon the liar . sharon the unfit mother . `` no thanks , nick . let 's just stick to the topic . i lost out on the first six months of our little girl 's life , and when i got her back , i promised her that we would never be separated again . and here you are trying to keep me from her . nick : okay , you can stop right there . adam is the reason that we lost out on the first six months of faith 's life , and i never told you that you could n't come here and see her whenever you wanted . sharon : right . permission . permission to see my own daughter under your supervision . it 's insulting , and it 's also over with . as soon as faith wakes up , i 'm taking her with me back to my house , and i do n't care what you say about it .

[ scene_break ] victoria : you know , mom ... ( sighs ) what happened between me and dad is n't because you were in rehab . it 's because dad expects all of his children to be mini - victors whose sole purpose is to do whatever he says . nikki : listen . your relationship is much more than business . honey , he adores you . victoria : ( sighs ) mom , do you think that dad has some deep well of love locked up in his poor , damaged heart ? is that -- is that what 's kept you hanging on for so many years ? because honestly , when he looks at me , i do n't think that he sees a beloved daughter . i think that he sees a disgruntled employee who told him to go to hell . but that 's just tough , because i helped him build newman enterprises , and i want what i deserve . dad always takes what 's his , and what is n't . and trust me , i have learned from the master , okay ? nikki : honey , i am angry , too . believe me . but after he joined us on christmas day , i refuse to believe that he is a lost cause . i truly believe that we can get through this as a family . victoria : no , he 's not my family . he 's not . he cost me my family . reed would still be here if he had n't have interfered . and even when i married billy , he still tried to punish me , even though he knew i was pregnant . you know what ? maybe if he had n't harassed me and attacked me , i might still be pregnant now . a baby -- a baby with billy , and dad took that from me .

( sighs ) saying how sorry he was about the baby , but that at least i can divorce billy now , so ... nikki : that 's -- that 's not how he felt at all . he was crushed for you . victoria : i do n't know , mom . i - i 'm sorry . i do n't know . you 're asking me , do i blame dad for my miscarriage ? i - i 'm not sure . all i know is that that 's the day that i joined abby in her lawsuit , and that 's all that i know . nikki : all right , look . sweetheart , you ca n't live like this with all this anger and resentment . it -- let 's deal with it now before it builds up into some horrific -- victoria : well , that 's what i 'm doing . that 's exactly what i 'm doing . that 's what this lawsuit is about .

[ scene_break ] victoria : so if you have something to nail my father ... vance : i learned from an inside source that victor 's planning on selling a major corporation in dubai . victoria : i worked on that deal . selling that company would n't be such a big surprise . mergers and acquisitions and sales is what newman 's about . vance : hmm . really ? 'cause it looks like victor 's having a fire sale , so in case we win , newman enterprises will hand over less to you and your sister , which i think , if the information is presented properly , the mediator will see it that way , too . victoria : go on . vance : i 'm going to propose that one - third of newman enterprises ' assets be put into escrow so your father ca n't sell off any more and dismantle the company . victoria : well , newman would be crushed with that restriction . there would be no capital to grow the business . vance : it 's your call , yours and your sister 's . but know this -- victor will play to win . i assume you and your sister are prepared to do the same , because if you 're not , you can kiss newman enterprises good - bye . victoria : ( sighs ) [ scene_break ] billy : come here , little girl . prim : yes . baby : ( fusses ) prim : that 's a girl . that 's a girl . billy : i got you . prim : ( chuckles ) billy : ( sighs ) oh . prim : go on . count her fingers , her toes . baby : ( fusses ) billy : shh , shh , shh , shh , shh , shh , shh , shh , shh . prim : and look at those cheeks . imagine that little face looking up at you every day . prim : take one last look , because after this , you wo n't see this little face an -- anymore unless ... billy : fine . i 'll call you when the money 's ready . you do n't let anybody else near her . this is our baby . baby : ( fusses ) prim : okay . shh . okay . okay .

( chuckles ) oh , you know , for some reason , i - i do n't seem to mind talking to you about that . and you 're right , it will help , because i 'll be able to pay off my credit cards and save some money , and even get a place of my own . it 's fantastic . nick : i 'm happy for you . plus , it makes me feel good to see dad do something nice for someone else . i mean , he 's pretty much ticked off everyone else he knows in his life . [ scene_break ] nikki : victor , you ca n't dismiss me . i 'm not one of the servants . now i am here to talk about our daughter , whether you want to or not . victor : hmm . nikki : our daughter , who you fell in love with the moment you first saw her . do you remember that ? do you remember how magical that was ? i do . and victoria is never going to have that again . the doctor was very clear . she can not have any more children . and she 's trying to deal with that news , and all you can do is talk about lawsuits . victor : how is she ? nikki : she 's ... strapping on armor , preparing for battle . that 's how she 's doing , because you have let it go this far . please , victor , your relationship with victoria has always been so special . and i - i know parents are n't supposed to admit to favorites , but everybody knows how you have doted on her . and now she ca n't even cry on your shoulder about this latest news . i - i -- maybe she 'll hate me for even telling you this , or maybe she just does n't even care what you know and do n't know anymore . i do n't know which one is more tragic . victor , you 're a brilliant man . figure it out . you can fix this . now you have to do whatever you have to do to realize that your daughter is more important than a damn lawsuit .

( clears throat ) how 'd it go with your mom ? victoria : ( sighs ) okay . billy : really ? victoria : yeah . why not really ? billy : because you 're flushed . so either you have a fever or , uh , it did n't go so well . victoria : ( sighs ) i 'm just really tired of my mom trying to defend him , and -- and to try to make peace ... ( sighs ) because there is no peace , and there is no compromise . and it turns out ... ( clears throat ) billy : what ? victoria : that i 'm not handling this baby thing very well , either the miscarriage or the not having a baby thing , and , um ... ( sighs ) billy : okay . okay . okay . okay . okay . victoria : ( sighs ) billy : it 's crap news . you handle this however you want to handle this , okay ? to hell with what anybody else says . i do n't know what your mom said , but no offense . victoria : thank you . well , and then vance stopped by . turns out that he has some ... something that might tip things our way . billy : well , that 's awesome . victoria : ( sighs ) billy : or un - awesome . because ... victoria : did you ever notice that vance is maybe , i do n't know , like , a shark ? billy : you know , that slipped right by me . victoria : well , between him and dad , i just keep picturing these two black knights on black steeds getting ready to do battle . and ... ( sighs ) i can not believe that my dad has let it come to this . billy : well ... ( clears throat ) that 's because you were n't with me before , and your dad hates me something special , which means he 's going to torture you something special , and it 's really flattery if you look at it that way . victoria : it 's irrational . now i get to sit across from him and watch everything explode . billy : look , you 're the boss here . you 're in charge . you do n't want to do this ? fine . you tell the lawyers . you tell your dad . you 're done . for now . forever . it does n't matter . you can just walk away .

[ scene_break ] sharon : boom . mommy 's so happy to be with you . and she can tell you 're happy , too . that 's why i have to fight , fight , fight so that we can be together . mommy has to convince daddy and everyone that mommy is not fibbing or seeing things . what i said happened in hawaii with skye really happened . and then mommy will be with adam , and everyone will have to accept it , and you , too , especially you . sharon : oh . ( gasps ) [ scene_break ] victoria : you want me to walk away from the mediation ? billy : look , we 've got a big life , okay ? a big life . we 've got big dreams . there 's big stuff around the corner . if you say , `` forget the lawsuit , `` then it 's forgotten . then you and i , we can concentrate on the future . victoria : it 's too late . i have to go through with it . [ scene_break ] victor : victoria is as tough as any businessman i have ever been up against . she does not need your protection , all right ? nikki : will you please stop being head of newman enterprises and be victoria 's father for one moment ? victor : i tried to stop all this many times . this is because of abby and victoria 's defiance . this is their fault , all right ? now if you do n't mind , i 'm busy . you can go . nikki : really ? you have tried to end this many times ? victor : yes . nikki : how have you done that ? by making settlement offers ? by putting a dollar amount on your love for victoria ? because that is the ridiculous point to which this has gotten . victor , i am telling you , if you go ahead with this mediation , you 're going to lose her . do you understand me ? you 're going to lose your daughter . victor : i do n't give a damn ! it 's too late . i 'm going through with this . nikki : how can you say that ? victor ! victor : get out now . ( cell phone rings ) nikki : oh , my god . you 're -- you 're a fool . you 're a fool . victor : i do n't give a damn what you think . nikki : i 'm a -- i 'm ashamed of you . victor : yes ? koa : there 's a hawaiian saying -- `` if you plan for a year , you plant kalo . if you plan for ten years , you plant koa . `` victor : `` and if you plan for a hundred years , you teach the children . `` koa : you said be on the lookout for someone asking questions . haole guy came in here -- tourist , maybe not . victor : did he ask about skye or another woman ? koa : no . but i 'll send you a picture just in case . [ scene_break ] nick : so you 're at the shack now ? how bad is it ? jack : it 's scorched earth . nick : so the surfer guy mentioned that there was a fire there a few days ago ? jack : yeah , the same time sharon claims that she found skye on the mountain when skye fell to her death . nick : you find any proof that skye could have lived there ? jack : galibier . nick : what 's that ? jack : skye 's favorite perfume . it 's been discontinued . it 's impossible to get . it 's called galibier . it was her favorite . i 'm holding it in my hand right now . nick : oh , my god . sharon was telling the truth . jack : this was a setup , nick . this was a scam . skye did n't die in genoa city . she came here and hid out until sharon found her . and listen to me . skye did not get here on her own . this whole story has your father 's fingerprints all over it . ( sighs ) [ next_on ] nina : i 'm donating part of my liver to you , and i 'm not gon na take no for an answer . jack : how much is victor paying you ? i 'll double it . let 's talk . victor : you stop this right now , or you will destroy the very company that built this family .
diane accepts victor 's offer to move into the carriage house and that makes kyle and nick very happy . nick agrees to allow sharon to spend some time with faith as long as she stays at her house and he gets to approve everyone that visits her while she is with faith . jack is told by a surfer in hawaii that a woman was staying at a shack that recently burned down so jack goes to visit the remains of the shack and finds a bottle of skye 's perfume . jack calls nick to tell him the information and jack also thinks that victor was the mastermind in the plan to frame adam . victor gets a call from his contact in hawaii to let him know a man has been asking questions and then texts him a picture of jack .

[ scene_break ] victoria : so if you have something to nail my father ... vance : i learned from an inside source that victor 's planning on selling a major corporation in dubai . victoria : i worked on that deal . selling that company would n't be such a big surprise . mergers and acquisitions and sales is what newman 's about . vance : hmm . really ? 'cause it looks like victor 's having a fire sale , so in case we win , newman enterprises will hand over less to you and your sister , which i think , if the information is presented properly , the mediator will see it that way , too . victoria : go on . vance : i 'm going to propose that one - third of newman enterprises ' assets be put into escrow so your father ca n't sell off any more and dismantle the company . victoria : well , newman would be crushed with that restriction . there would be no capital to grow the business . vance : it 's your call , yours and your sister 's . but know this -- victor will play to win . i assume you and your sister are prepared to do the same , because if you 're not , you can kiss newman enterprises good - bye . victoria : ( sighs ) [ scene_break ] billy : come here , little girl . prim : yes . baby : ( fusses ) prim : that 's a girl . that 's a girl . billy : i got you . prim : ( chuckles ) billy : ( sighs ) oh . prim : go on . count her fingers , her toes . baby : ( fusses ) billy : shh , shh , shh , shh , shh , shh , shh , shh , shh . prim : and look at those cheeks . imagine that little face looking up at you every day . prim : take one last look , because after this , you wo n't see this little face an -- anymore unless ... billy : fine . i 'll call you when the money 's ready . you do n't let anybody else near her . this is our baby . baby : ( fusses ) prim : okay . shh . okay . okay .

( chuckles ) oh , you know , for some reason , i - i do n't seem to mind talking to you about that . and you 're right , it will help , because i 'll be able to pay off my credit cards and save some money , and even get a place of my own . it 's fantastic . nick : i 'm happy for you . plus , it makes me feel good to see dad do something nice for someone else . i mean , he 's pretty much ticked off everyone else he knows in his life . [ scene_break ] nikki : victor , you ca n't dismiss me . i 'm not one of the servants . now i am here to talk about our daughter , whether you want to or not . victor : hmm . nikki : our daughter , who you fell in love with the moment you first saw her . do you remember that ? do you remember how magical that was ? i do . and victoria is never going to have that again . the doctor was very clear . she can not have any more children . and she 's trying to deal with that news , and all you can do is talk about lawsuits . victor : how is she ? nikki : she 's ... strapping on armor , preparing for battle . that 's how she 's doing , because you have let it go this far . please , victor , your relationship with victoria has always been so special . and i - i know parents are n't supposed to admit to favorites , but everybody knows how you have doted on her . and now she ca n't even cry on your shoulder about this latest news . i - i -- maybe she 'll hate me for even telling you this , or maybe she just does n't even care what you know and do n't know anymore . i do n't know which one is more tragic . victor , you 're a brilliant man . figure it out . you can fix this . now you have to do whatever you have to do to realize that your daughter is more important than a damn lawsuit . [ scene_break ] billy : yeah , i need to sell off a chunk of stock asap . yeah , i -- hey . um , i - i 'll get right back to you , okay ? thanks . sorry . i -- victoria : what are you doing out here ? billy : i just had to take that . sorry . victoria : oh , it 's okay . so , um , how was your meeting ? billy : ( chuckles ) you know . ( clears throat ) how 'd it go with your mom ? victoria : ( sighs ) okay . billy : really ? victoria : yeah . why not really ? billy : because you 're flushed . so either you have a fever or , uh , it did n't go so well . victoria : ( sighs ) i 'm just really tired of my mom trying to defend him , and -- and to try to make peace ... ( sighs ) because there is no peace , and there is no compromise . and it turns out ... ( clears throat ) billy : what ? victoria : that i 'm not handling this baby thing very well , either the miscarriage or the not having a baby thing , and , um ... ( sighs ) billy : okay . okay . okay . okay . okay . victoria : ( sighs ) billy : it 's crap news . you handle this however you want to handle this , okay ? to hell with what anybody else says . i do n't know what your mom said , but no offense . victoria : thank you . well , and then vance stopped by . turns out that he has some ... something that might tip things our way . billy : well , that 's awesome . victoria : ( sighs ) billy : or un - awesome . because ... victoria : did you ever notice that vance is maybe , i do n't know , like , a shark ? billy : you know , that slipped right by me . victoria : well , between him and dad , i just keep picturing these two black knights on black steeds getting ready to do battle . and ... ( sighs ) i can not believe that my dad has let it come to this . billy : well ... ( clears throat ) that 's because you were n't with me before , and your dad hates me something special , which means he 's going to torture you something special , and it 's really flattery if you look at it that way . victoria : it 's irrational . now i get to sit across from him and watch everything explode . billy : look , you 're the boss here . you 're in charge . you do n't want to do this ? fine . you tell the lawyers . you tell your dad . you 're done . for now . forever . it does n't matter . you can just walk away .

[ scene_break ] sharon : boom . mommy 's so happy to be with you . and she can tell you 're happy , too . that 's why i have to fight , fight , fight so that we can be together . mommy has to convince daddy and everyone that mommy is not fibbing or seeing things . what i said happened in hawaii with skye really happened . and then mommy will be with adam , and everyone will have to accept it , and you , too , especially you . sharon : oh . ( gasps ) [ scene_break ] victoria : you want me to walk away from the mediation ? billy : look , we 've got a big life , okay ? a big life . we 've got big dreams . there 's big stuff around the corner . if you say , `` forget the lawsuit , `` then it 's forgotten . then you and i , we can concentrate on the future . victoria : it 's too late . i have to go through with it .

[ scene_break ] nick : so you 're at the shack now ? how bad is it ? jack : it 's scorched earth . nick : so the surfer guy mentioned that there was a fire there a few days ago ? jack : yeah , the same time sharon claims that she found skye on the mountain when skye fell to her death . nick : you find any proof that skye could have lived there ? jack : galibier . nick : what 's that ? jack : skye 's favorite perfume . it 's been discontinued . it 's impossible to get . it 's called galibier . it was her favorite . i 'm holding it in my hand right now . nick : oh , my god . sharon was telling the truth . jack : this was a setup , nick . this was a scam . skye did n't die in genoa city . she came here and hid out until sharon found her . and listen to me . skye did not get here on her own . this whole story has your father 's fingerprints all over it . ( sighs ) [ next_on ] nina : i 'm donating part of my liver to you , and i 'm not gon na take no for an answer . jack : how much is victor paying you ? i 'll double it . let 's talk . victor : you stop this right now , or you will destroy the very company that built this family .Summarize.[/INST]diane accepts victor 's offer to move into the carriage house and that makes kyle and nick very happy . nick agrees to allow sharon to spend some time with faith as long as she stays at her house and he gets to approve everyone that visits her while she is with faith . jack is told by a surfer in hawaii that a woman was staying at a shack that recently burned down so jack goes to visit the remains of the shack and finds a bottle of skye 's perfume . jack calls nick to tell him the information and jack also thinks that victor was the mastermind in the plan to frame adam . victor gets a call from his contact in hawaii to let him know a man has been asking questions and then texts him a picture of jack .</s>

faith : since we have monica now , does that mean you 'll have time to make me chocolate chip pancakes in the morning ? nick : you got it . we can have snowball fights and horseback rides . faith : and doing our hair . nick : pfft . whatever you want . faith : hmm . nick : you know , um , i 'm sorry , kiddo . i know i 've been preoccupied lately . faith : it 's okay . mom 's been preoccupied , too . nick : oh , yeah ? with what ? faith : mom ! sharon : hi . faith : have you heard anything from dylan yet ? dylan : [ chuckles ] alex : [ chuckles ] hmm . where 's your mini bar ? dylan : you know , if you , uh , wanted a drink , we could have stayed downstairs at the bar . alex : no way . this is a private party . dylan : whoa . alex : you 're not as drunk as you looked downstairs . dylan : neither are you . but we can fix that . alex : what ? dylan : what ? oh , no , i just , uh , had a vision of the alex i thought i was meeting . alex : a guy with a bulging neck and a glock in his pocket ? dylan : yeah , pretty much . alex : disappointed ? dylan : what do you think ? alex : i think you talk too much . lauren : how late is he ? phyllis : uh , five minutes , but it could be traffic . lauren : or he could be adding conditions to our deal . phyllis : that 's what 's so weird about this whole thing . when the two of you met before -- lauren : oh , it seemed like a done deal . he was praising my abilities , saying fenmore 's was a fantastic investment . did n't even need to look into my financial documents i had prepared . phyllis : then out of nowhere he makes a 180 . lauren : phyllis , he was on board to be a silent partner . and then all of a sudden , he starts questioning my management abilities and saying that , uh , maybe he needed more of a say in the running of the company . phyllis : no , no , no , no , no . no , no , that 's not good news . we do not need a micromanager from hell . lauren : no , we do not . but i need this deal . phyllis : look , it is not unreasonable that he is asking questions . it 's not like you 're looking for pocket change . lauren : yes , you 're right . i completely understand . and i expected questions about marketing and tax liabilities and expense payroll . phyllis : he did n't ask you any of that ? lauren : none of it . at first . and that 's what i find so disconcerting , this sudden shift . i wish i understood what caused hochman to change his mind . gloria : [ sighs ] michael : i 'm glad you like the food here . gloria : yeah , fries are tasty . not as yummy as the food at gloworm . may my beautiful restaurant rest in peace . michael : well , tasty gourmet meals -- i mean , that 's just the beginning of a long list of perks that come with making the club your home base . they 've got a spa and a gym downstairs , rooftop pool . [ chuckling ] i mean , everything you could ask for . gloria : but i 'm not asking for anything , michael . i love living with you and lauren . michael : why ? gloria : [ chuckles ] michael : when -- when you could extend your stay here ? they 'd wait on you hand and foot . you 'd be pampered . not to mention the privacy . gloria : michael , i appreciate it . i really do . but one night of self- indulgence was enough . the sauna was particularly invigorating . now i 'm ready to come home to you and lauren , the bosom of my family . michael : gloria -- gloria : no . enough . so , tell me , how did lauren 's meeting go with that , um , potential investor ? michael : uh , uh , not as well as she 'd hoped . gloria : that 's devastating news . but i 'm not really surprised . michael : why the hell not ? gloria : because is there ever really a perfect silent partner ? i mean , they never stay silent for long . unless you kill them . jack : hello , you two . may i join you ? dylan : what 's wrong , alex ? you do n't like what you see ? alex : oh , no . you 're lovely to look at . and delicious , too . but first ... dylan : what ? `` but first `` what ? where you going ? alex : if we 're going to achieve liftoff ... we got to have a little rocket fuel . [ sighs ] so how about it , derek ? you ready to take this party to heaven ? faith : come on , mom . sit with us . sharon : um , i do n't want to interrupt your time with your dad . faith : you 're not interrupting . is she , dad ? nick : nope . look at this . i even got you some hot chocolate , so sit down . and there 's , um , doughnuts getting ready to get out of the oven , nice and hot . faith : oh , yum . and while we 're waiting , you can tell us about dylan . nick : what about dylan ? faith : i was gon na ask mom if there 's been any news . has there ? nick : news about what ? sharon : oh , nothing , really . it was just about his job . boring . you know what ? i am gon na take my hot chocolate and get a to - go cup because you do n't get a lot of alone time with your dad . faith : but dad already said it 's okay . and you look kind of sad , mom . sharon : i just had a touch of cabin fever , i think . you know what ? i 'm gon na take this and i 'm gon na stroll through the park . i 'll be all better . faith : but dad says warm doughnuts can cure anything . do n't you ? nick : i do . but that 's not just my opinion . there 's actual scientific data to back that up . faith : see ? having doughnuts with us will make anything better . even being worried about dylan . nick : you know she 's never gon na let this go , so you might as well just sit down . sharon : okay . just for a minute . tell me one great thing that happened at school today . nick : first you can fill us in on dylan . sharon : uh , he 's away on assignment . that 's all , really . faith : he left his wedding ring and wallet at the house because it 's something top secret . right , mom ? sharon : well , that sounds a lot more impressive than dylan is just away at work . really , there 's nothing to worry about . [ loud crash ] ravi : hey . you do n't know swedish by any chance , do you ? ashley : [ chuckles ] what are you doing ? ravi : actually , it 's , uh , it 's very exciting . it , um , it occurred to me that by installing a standing desk in the new workspace , i can make it more ergonomically sound and increase productivity from 12.5 % to 16 % . ashley : right , not to mention roomier . ravi : exactly . but i 've run into a little conundrum called `` some assembly required . `` faulty advertising . it really should say `` major engineering required . `` ashley : huh . ravi : could -- could you pass me part c ? i need to connect it to part j . ashley : uh ... ravi : or -- or is it part w ? i 'm ... ashley : uh , are you aware that , um , we actually have people that do this ? ravi : we do ? ashley : yeah . it 's called maintenance . they 'll put the whole thing together for you . ravi : i - i really do n't want to bother other employees with this . i mean , i - i can han -- ashley : ravi , i need you to focus on jabotgo and other fantastic , brilliant innovations . ravi : as much as i want to make the most of this opportunity you 've given me , inventive thought does come more slowly when the spine 's out of alignment . ashley : yeah , well , you just leave your spinal alignment to me . [ drill whirs ] ravi : um , you 're -- you 're offering to -- to , uh ... ashley : i 'm offering to call maintenance for you , and i 'll make sure they put it together . ravi : oh , i see . well -- well , thank you . ashley : of course . and , um , in the meantime , your coding fingers are far too valuable , so step away from the drill . ravi : oh . [ chuckles ] ashley : awesome . ravi : [ clears throat ] lauren : what did you find out ? phyllis : hochman is still registered at the club . lauren : okay , so he 's still in town . phyllis : yeah , which does n't make any sense why he is so late to this meeting . he came to genoa city to make a deal with you , right ? lauren : well , maybe he 's visiting somebody else . phyllis : like who ? lauren : like the person who made him question this deal . phyllis : let 's not be paranoid , all right ? you are offering hochman a golden opportunity . he is a smart businessman . lauren : i know . this is gon na sound strange , but i feel like i 'm being sabotaged . phyllis : maybe it 's a good thing . lauren : no ! i need an investor , and i need it fast . phyllis : maybe hochman 's not our best choice . you said that you wanted a quiet angel , someone who respected your experience and would let you run things with their money . lauren : right . and one of the main reasons that i rejected jack 's offer is i 'm not gon na let someone come in and decide the fate of the company that i love . phyllis : then , honey , you find a way to make that clear to mr. hochman . when he gets here , you remind him that this is your company and you still have the choice whether or not you want to do business with him . lauren : oh , i will . if he ever gets here . [ sighs ] jack : well , i hope i 'm not interrupting lunch . gloria : no , not at all . we 're done . you know , michael treated me to an overnight stay here at the club , but now i 'm ready to go home . nothing like family . michael : you got that right . so what can i do for you , jack ? jack : well , uh , the foundation is going to send official notification for your tax purposes , but i wanted to say a very personal thank you for your and lauren 's great generosity the night of the new year 's eve benefit . it was really very generous . michael : we 're glad to be of help . gloria : i just wish you could have bid on that trip to france that victor donated . i could have gone with you . michael : i would have taken lauren . gloria : if she could have gone . my daughter - in - law 's very busy these days . jack : yes , meeting with investors . how is that going ? michael : oh , lauren told me that you made an offer on fenmore 's . well , it looks like we , uh , both missed out on having made the winning bid . well , no hard feelings . jack : just business . we all understand that . i 'm sure the right offer will come along . michael : oh , no doubt . not only is my wife brilliant . she 's a fighter . she will not stop until she finds the right fit for fenmore 's . [ cell phone rings ] michael : oh , uh , i 'm so sorry . oh , excuse me . i have to take this . jack : ooh , your lunch does n't seem to be agreeing with you . is it that or the fact that michael might find out that you 've been sneaking around behind his wife 's back to become a permanent member of her company ? gloria : for your information , jack , i 've already made inroads on our mutual quest . jack : have you ? gloria : i had a very interesting conversation with a mr. ben hochman . jack : ben hochman ? lauren , i underestimated you . incidentally , ben hochman usually gives money and then allows the people managing it to make it grow . that 's the perfect silent partner for lauren . gloria : ah , would have been . jack : what did you do , gloria ? gloria : gory details . actually , there was a meet . michael : all right , well , i have got to bail out a client . gloria : michael , why did n't you stay in corporate law ? dealing with criminals is so demeaning . michael : innocent until proven guilty , gloria . gloria : yeah , yeah , yeah , that 's what they all say . jack : i got that , i got that . the least i can do after your generosity at the benefit . michael : all right . next time it 's on me . jack : you got it . michael : and , uh , really , gloria , rethink my offer to extend your stay at the club . thanks again , jack . jack : take care . [ laughs ] gloria : what 's so funny ? jack : well , lauren does n't want you at work . michael does n't want you at home . gloria : you laugh all you want . i 'm still your only shot to get your hands on fenmore 's . jack : in your dreams . gloria : i told you i would deliver , jack . and when i do , i expect you to deliver . ha . sharon : okay , so tell me , what 's this exciting thing that happened at school today ? faith : okay . i joined the chess club . sharon : okay , i did n't even know there was a chess club . faith : there was n't . i just started one . nick : i mean , is this our daughter or what ? one lesson with her grandfather and she 's on her way to becoming a grand master . your grandfather would be so proud . faith : are n't you guys proud of me , too ? sharon : of course we are , honey . always . nick : yeah , sweetheart . if you have n't felt that lately , you know , that 's on us . we have wasted way too much time arguing . sharon : your father 's right . time is too precious to waste it . ever . nick : so , you want to show your mom what your grandfather taught you ? faith : do you really want to see ? sharon : absolutely . faith : okay . here we go . let me get it up . there we go . okay , first you have to choose if you want to play the black or the white . sharon : okay . which should i choose ? faith : why are you asking dad ? sharon : because he 's the one who taught me how to play . nick : do n't worry , though . you 're still probably gon na win . i am a terrible chess teacher . sharon : hmm , he 's just being modest . faith : i like this , us having fun together . nick : all right . so what 's it gon na be , sharon ? you want to defend or do you want to attack ? sharon : i 'll defend . faith : grandpa says the best defense is a good offense . sharon : yeah , dylan always says that , too . paul : something 's off , chris . this whole thing is taking too damn long . kevin : i hate to say it , but i 'm with paul on this . i 'm starting to get worried , too . christine : okay , because he has n't called ? maybe he has n't been alone or maybe he felt that he was under surveillance and did n't want to risk it . paul : dylan would find a way . kevin : what if he 's in serious trouble ? christine : or what if the silence is confirmation that he won the trust of fisk 's second - in - command ? kevin : how many legal lines would you have to cross to do that ? or not . i 'm just worst - casing . christine : [ scoffs ] or best case -- that dylan 's still in play because he 's passed the test with fisk 's top guy . alex : what 's the matter , derek ? i thought you came to play . dylan : what are you talking about ? you 're the one who 's stalling . you know you dropped the ball on my favorite game . alex : consider this a warm - up . dylan : better yet ... dessert . alex : hey . what -- what are you doing ? dylan : yeah , room service ? yeah , i 'm heading into an intense ... physical workout . alex : [ chuckles ] dylan : and , uh , i 'm gon na need some serious fuel . what do you got ? uh , yeah , how about a couple of filets ? mm - hmm . you like garlic butter ? that would be a no on the garlic butter . alex : dessert ? we have our own . but send up a side of whipped cream . dylan : who 'd you think i was talking to ? alex : pays to be careful . dylan : if you 'd really done your homework , you 'd know i would never wear a wire . alex : you would n't be the first guy who 's tried to take down fisk through me . dylan : ow . sounds like you 've been burned before . alex : i have to protect my boss . dylan : as do i . alex : now suppose you tell me who you really are and who the hell you 're working for . dylan : uh , congratulations and thank you . you just saved me a lot of trouble . alex : you 're glad i found it . dylan : i 'm good either way . my boss , however ... you 're not the only one with a suspicious boss . i was told to record our conversation in case there was any misunderstanding , and i 'm not too happy about being kept on a leash . are you ? nobody 's watching . nobody 's listening . we can just be ourselves . alex : i like you , derek . you 're hard to get a beat on . dylan : i ca n't wait to show you . as soon as you arrange my meet - up with your boss and this deal goes down . hmm . i do n't intend to wait . and i think fisk will agree . christine : come on , talk to me . paul : i do n't know . i was just thinking about one of the proudest days of my life when dylan decided to follow in my footsteps and in the footsteps of my father by joining the force . i mean , i - i - i knew what this was gon na be like , but i did n't anticipate anything like this . and sharon 's right . this is all on me . i just hope to god i made the right decision . christine : you have done everything you could possibly do . having the department standing by with backup and support , making sure that dylan gets the job done and gets home safe , even if that means letting the bad guys get away . paul : so you made that clear , right ? you told him that this case is not worth risking his life ? christine : yeah . paul : so he understands it ? christine : yeah . paul : okay . you know , i 'm sorry . this is not on you . i did n't mean that . christine : it 's okay . michael : we need to talk . kevin : sorry , michael . monitoring something for the chief . michael : i am here processing a client out on bail . if i can multitask to deal with a pressing personal matter , you can , too ! kevin : why ? what happened ? michael : gloria is what happened . kevin : nope . not having that talk . michael : you are not dodging me again . ever since i informed you that it was your turn to give gloria a place to call home , strangely enough , i ca n't get you on the phone . kevin : i had my turn last night , and it has left me permanently traumatized . you could have warned me . michael : what happened ? kevin : you put gloria up at the club , and guess who was draped in a towel when chloe and i went to the sauna for some alone time ? michael : gross . kevin : yeah , how am i ever gon na excise that image from my head ? michael : immersion therapy . all gloria , all the time . that 'll cure you . she 'll be at your place tonight . kevin : that 's not gon na happen . chloe 's put me on notice . michael : tough ! kevin : what if we go halfsies and we keep her at the club ? michael : no , no . that offer 's already been made and rejected . gloria apparently is convinced that she can only be happy living with family . i 've served my time . [ pats shoulder ] tag . you 're it . and remember , when you invite her , make sure she believes you mean it . lauren : i was getting worried about you , mr. hochman . hochman : oh , please , lauren , call me ben . i would have gotten here sooner , but i just spent the last few hours reviewing all the financial stats with my team , and , uh , it just took awhile . lauren : all right . well , let 's sit . hochman : great . lauren : i want to introduce you to my associate , phyllis summers , the creative genius behind the enhanced web design and marketing plan . hochman : oh , let me just say , ben hochman , and yes , phyllis , indeed you are a genius . [ laughs ] phyllis : good to meet you . lauren : let 's sit . hochman : [ sighs ] well , let me just say that the new features on the website are cutting edge , and this new virtual - dressing - room concept is brilliant . phyllis : well , the idea was to broaden our customer base and market directly to people who do n't have the time or the inclination to come into the stores . hochman : well , removing the human variable from the shopping experience can be a plus . in fact , i remember i was just talking to someone this past week that was saying that they were just all but done with traditional retail and with getting the sub par service that they received . lauren : hmm . well , certainly not from fenmore 's . phyllis : no . hochman : let 's get some drinks . jack : did we have a meeting scheduled ? ashley : no . i just wanted to hear about your rendezvous with gloria . jack : despite our mutual disdain for our former stepmother , she has proven to be quite useful . ashley : gloria useful ? how 's that even possible ? jack : well , she has told me that lauren is meeting with investors , among them the biggest fish in chicago . ashley : ben hochman ? jack : ben hochman . you know how deep his pockets are , yet gloria is very confident that deal will not go through , leaving the door wide open for us to acquire fenmore 's . ashley : well , jack , that 's assuming you can trust her information . jack : a leap i would never make . but if she can help jabot acquire her daughter - in - law 's company , well , it could pay off quite well for gloria . ashley : yeah , what 's her price ? corner office , big salary , executive title ? jack : all of the above probably . ashley : yeah . jack : but fenmore 's is so lucrative , it would be worth it . ashley : what about the deals that are already in place , jack , like your top moneymaker , jabotgo ? jack : what about them ? ashley : why are n't you investing more in a proven success ? because it was my big idea and not yours ? michael : quit stalling and make the damn phone call . kevin : after sharing that sauna with our mother , i 'm gon na need a little more incentive . michael : are you strong - arming me ? kevin : yes , i am . in exchange for taking mom into my home , i 'm gon na need free babysitting from uncle mikey and aunt lauren . michael : you 'll have a live - in sitter with gloria there . kevin : you know gloria , and you know she should n't be around children . okay , fine , she 's all yours . michael : all right , all right ! deal . kevin : [ sighs ] [ cell phone rings ] gloria : [ sighs ] kevin ! you left the sauna before we could spend some quality time together . even if we did have to share it with chloe . kevin : quality time , mom . that 's why i 'm calling . we ca n't get enough of that . so i was hoping you would , uh , come and stay with me for a night . hmm ! uh , did i say a night ? i meant several . gloria : you have no idea how deeply that touches me . what 's chloe going to say about this ? kevin : you know , bella 's been asking about you since christmas , and chloe 's willing to do anything to make that little girl happy . gloria : well , we ca n't disappoint bella . and now that your brother 's as good as kicked me out of his place , it 's nice to know that one of my sons cares . mwah . big kiss . kevin : are you happy ? michael : i am over the moon . kevin : yeah , well , do n't get too used to your privacy , because as soon as chloe finds out about this , you may be down a gloria , but you 're gon na be up a kevin . michael : mm - hmm . ta . jack : there . what do you think ? ashley : i love the ad , and i 'm very happy you 're taking the campaign where i want it -- the teenage market , because that is our sweet spot . jack : i could not be more impressed with what you 've done with jabotgo . fortunately for me , your success is our success . ashley : do you see my point , jackie ? you 're so consumed trying to get your hands on fenmore 's . you do n't pay any attention to the hard work that ravi and i have been doing . it 's annoying . are you even aware that because of ravi 's updates , jabotgo has now passed the 10 million download mark ? jack : no , i was not aware of that . how do i show my appreciation ? ashley : well , you can start by giving ravi his due . you know , he 's happy with that little broom closet of an office , but he deserves more , like a raise or how about a `` thank you `` ? jack : just because this kid has a crush on you , ash -- ashley : would you shut up ? that has nothing to do with anything , and you know it . he 's brilliant . look , you ca n't afford to lose him , jack , especially if you do get fenmore 's . you 're gon na need him more than ever . jack : i will give him a raise . ashley : people need to know that their contributions matter . jack : then i 'll give him a pat on the back the next time i see him . ashley : did you know that at the benefit victor newman joked around about hiring ravi from us ? but what if he follows through and you 're so busy trying to get your hands on fenmore 's that you lose our best asset ? lauren : our loyal customers from tweens to society matrons still love to come in the store . you know , they want to feel the fabric , they want to try on an outfit in front of a mirror and maybe snag that pair of shoes or that sweater that they may have missed online . phyllis : that 's true . hochman : yeah , but the women i meet are all done with the brick - and - mortar approach , not to mention the underwhelming consumer relations . lauren : oh , but fenmore 's has always had impeccable customer service . ben , you are investing in a long - established enterprise with unlimited profit potential . hochman : well , i have thought on it . and i am willing to make an investment . lauren : [ laughs ] that is wonderful . with you as our angel investor -- hochman : but i want 51 % . phyllis : i was n't aware that was on the table . lauren : no . it was n't . what changed ? hochman : i 've done my due diligence , and 51 % is the only way that i can make this work for me . lauren : i ca n't do that . fenmore 's is a family - run business , and a fenmore will always have controlling interest . hochman : you wo n't get a better offer . lauren : we 'll see about that . thank you so much for coming in from chicago . hochman : it was my pleasure . thank you both . phyllis : thank you . he 's a pompous ass . lauren : yeah . but what if that pompous ass is right ? lauren : why am i allowing ben hochman to make me second - guess myself ? what is the one thing he had going for himself ? phyllis : one thing we need -- money . lauren : yes . and money is essential . but it does not buy you taste and it does not buy you success . do you know what we have going for us ? phyllis : what ? lauren : we know success , we know fashion , we know retail , and we know what women want . phyllis : that 's right . give me some . yeah . lauren : [ chuckles ] phyllis : you know what ? i applaud your courage . i know why you called the deal off . lauren : yeah . i 'm gon na have to do this without hochman . phyllis : fenmore 's is going to need a major cash infusion or we are going to be forced to close some doors . lauren : i know . there 's , uh , gould , macnamara . phyllis : okay , if those do n't pan out , maybe you want to reconsider jack 's offer . lauren : [ scoffs ] jack 's not investing . jack would be doing what jack does best , and that 's taking over . and i will not allow that to happen . phyllis : in that case , i may have another idea . ravi : if i violated company policy by making improvements to my office without permission -- jack : no , no . ravi : i really did n't mean -- jack : ravi , ravi , stand down . i did n't bring you here to make you walk the plank . ashley : yeah , you 're not in trouble , ravi . jack just wants to talk to you about our , um , our platform expansion . right , jack ? jack : right . ravi , sometimes when you 're rushing to get a new product out or you 're excited about shaping the future , even the most diligent c.e.o . can sometimes overlook the efforts of the people who sweat out the details that separate great companies from the also - rans . i want everyone on my team to feel that he or -- or she is appreciated . and to that end , if you need anything -- markers , staples , i do n't know , a stand - up desk , beyond -- we 're there for you . ravi : thank you . uh , and now that you mention it , uh , jack ... there is one thing . sharon : well , thanks for sharing your dad - daughter day with me , even if faith did slaughter me at chess . nick : you were a good sport . you know , i 'm sure faith made my dad 's day by telling him she started that chess club at school . sharon : how do you feel about your daughter learning at your father 's knee ? nick : it 's a little scary , is n't it ? sharon : yeah . but she adores victor . there 's no denying it . nick : and it 's obvious he is crazy about her . [ sighs ] you know it 's just the two of us , right ? i mean , you do n't have to try and protect faith or pretend you 're not worried . sharon : nick , i ca n't talk about it , so do n't ask me to . please just go , okay ? nick : no . not until you tell me what 's going on . sharon : it 's nothing . it 's just routine . it 's another case . nick : [ sighs ] sharon . sharon : okay , i 'm afraid . i 'm so afraid , nick . dylan could be in terrible danger . alex : great . i will . meeting 's on . dylan : i like the way you work . i knew we 'd make a great team . so where ? public place ? maybe a restaurant in south beach ? alex : mr. fisk is no fool . the meeting will be at a place of his choosing . dylan : hmm . how do i know i 'm not walking into a trap ? alex : you 'll just have to trust me , lover . like i trust you . ashley : come here , you . jack : um , what was that for ? ashley : for giving our employee of the month a gold star . jack : in case you did n't notice , i also gave a gold star to the woman who was smart enough to hire him . ashley : i kind of got that in between the lines . now we do n't have to worry . we 're not gon na lose a vital member of the team . jack : did you see the look on ravi 's face ? believe me , he 's not going anywhere . [ cell phone vibrates ] phyllis : voicemail . ravi , hi . this is phyllis . we met at jabot . you 're in my old office . hey , uh , i got an idea that i 'm interested in running by you . give me a call . kevin : hey , would you mind humoring me for a sec ? i have to rehearse something i 'm gon na say to my girlfriend . you proposing ? kevin : eh , it 's more of a proposition ... to let my mom move in with us . okay , good , 'cause that 's the same exact kind of face that she 's gon na make . [ sighs ] i 'm a dead man . paul : give us a minute , will you ? yes , sir , chief . paul : okay , what do you got ? kevin : no activity from dylan 's burner phone . not a single word . paul : [ sighs ] dylan : all right . let 's go . let 's do it . alex : not yet . a girl ca n't be too careful . dylan : whoa . okay . alex : i still find it hard to believe there 's no woman in your life . dylan : like i find it hard to believe that you do n't have a beard and a prison tat . just because this deal may be done ... does n't mean the party has to end . alex : i 'm gon na hold you to that . dylan : [ sighs ] nick : you know , i 'm not gon na press you for details for dylan 's sake and for yours . sharon : but what i just told you ... nick : will not leave this room . i promise . i always knew dylan had guts . i think i respect him even more now . sharon : i do n't even care if he 's brave . i do n't care if he gets a commendation . i do n't care if he gets an arrest . i just ... i just want him to come home . nick : dylan 's gon na be okay . he is a tough guy . and he 's gon na walk through that door sooner than you think . [ next_on ] abby : you 're taking devon home ? devon : yeah , why would n't she ? jill : why did i do ? ! victoria : butted in where my son is concerned . i do n't appreciate that ! please do n't do it ever again . reed : something else i want to talk to you about , but you have to promise not to tell my mom .
nick assured faith that he 'd have more free time now that he 'd hired a nanny . sharon ran into nick and faith at crimson lights , and faith insisted that she join them . sharon tried to avoid nick and faith 's questions about what dylan was up to . sharon , nick and faith had fun playing chess . nick took sharon home , after dropping faith off , and asked about dylan again . nick comforted sharon after she confided in him about her fear for dylan 's safety . while masquerading as derek , dylan and alex kissed . alex found a bug in the room , and dylan convinced her that his boss was checking up on him . dylan got alex to set up a meeting with fisk . paul and kevin worried because dylan had n't checked in . chris was optimistic that dylan was quiet because he 'd gained the trust of alex .
<s>[INST] faith : since we have monica now , does that mean you 'll have time to make me chocolate chip pancakes in the morning ? nick : you got it . we can have snowball fights and horseback rides . faith : and doing our hair . nick : pfft . whatever you want . faith : hmm . nick : you know , um , i 'm sorry , kiddo . i know i 've been preoccupied lately . faith : it 's okay . mom 's been preoccupied , too . nick : oh , yeah ? with what ? faith : mom ! sharon : hi . faith : have you heard anything from dylan yet ? dylan : [ chuckles ] alex : [ chuckles ] hmm . where 's your mini bar ? dylan : you know , if you , uh , wanted a drink , we could have stayed downstairs at the bar . alex : no way . this is a private party . dylan : whoa . alex : you 're not as drunk as you looked downstairs . dylan : neither are you . but we can fix that . alex : what ? dylan : what ? oh , no , i just , uh , had a vision of the alex i thought i was meeting . alex : a guy with a bulging neck and a glock in his pocket ? dylan : yeah , pretty much . alex : disappointed ? dylan : what do you think ? alex : i think you talk too much . lauren : how late is he ? phyllis : uh , five minutes , but it could be traffic . lauren : or he could be adding conditions to our deal . phyllis : that 's what 's so weird about this whole thing . when the two of you met before -- lauren : oh , it seemed like a done deal . he was praising my abilities , saying fenmore 's was a fantastic investment . did n't even need to look into my financial documents i had prepared . phyllis : then out of nowhere he makes a 180 . lauren : phyllis , he was on board to be a silent partner . and then all of a sudden , he starts questioning my management abilities and saying that , uh , maybe he needed more of a say in the running of the company . phyllis : no , no , no , no , no . no , no , that 's not good news . we do not need a micromanager from hell . lauren : no , we do not . but i need this deal . phyllis : look , it is not unreasonable that he is asking questions . it 's not like you 're looking for pocket change . lauren : yes , you 're right . i completely understand . and i expected questions about marketing and tax liabilities and expense payroll . phyllis : he did n't ask you any of that ? lauren : none of it . at first . and that 's what i find so disconcerting , this sudden shift . i wish i understood what caused hochman to change his mind . gloria : [ sighs ] michael : i 'm glad you like the food here . gloria : yeah , fries are tasty . not as yummy as the food at gloworm . may my beautiful restaurant rest in peace . michael : well , tasty gourmet meals -- i mean , that 's just the beginning of a long list of perks that come with making the club your home base . they 've got a spa and a gym downstairs , rooftop pool . [ chuckling ] i mean , everything you could ask for . gloria : but i 'm not asking for anything , michael . i love living with you and lauren . michael : why ? gloria : [ chuckles ] michael : when -- when you could extend your stay here ? they 'd wait on you hand and foot . you 'd be pampered . not to mention the privacy . gloria : michael , i appreciate it . i really do . but one night of self- indulgence was enough . the sauna was particularly invigorating . now i 'm ready to come home to you and lauren , the bosom of my family . michael : gloria -- gloria : no . enough . so , tell me , how did lauren 's meeting go with that , um , potential investor ? michael : uh , uh , not as well as she 'd hoped . gloria : that 's devastating news . but i 'm not really surprised . michael : why the hell not ? gloria : because is there ever really a perfect silent partner ? i mean , they never stay silent for long . unless you kill them . jack : hello , you two . may i join you ? dylan : what 's wrong , alex ? you do n't like what you see ? alex : oh , no . you 're lovely to look at . and delicious , too . but first ... dylan : what ? `` but first `` what ? where you going ? alex : if we 're going to achieve liftoff ... we got to have a little rocket fuel . [ sighs ] so how about it , derek ? you ready to take this party to heaven ? faith : come on , mom . sit with us . sharon : um , i do n't want to interrupt your time with your dad . faith : you 're not interrupting . is she , dad ? nick : nope . look at this . i even got you some hot chocolate , so sit down . and there 's , um , doughnuts getting ready to get out of the oven , nice and hot . faith : oh , yum . and while we 're waiting , you can tell us about dylan . nick : what about dylan ? faith : i was gon na ask mom if there 's been any news . has there ? nick : news about what ? sharon : oh , nothing , really . it was just about his job . boring . you know what ? i am gon na take my hot chocolate and get a to - go cup because you do n't get a lot of alone time with your dad . faith : but dad already said it 's okay . and you look kind of sad , mom . sharon : i just had a touch of cabin fever , i think . you know what ? i 'm gon na take this and i 'm gon na stroll through the park . i 'll be all better . faith : but dad says warm doughnuts can cure anything . do n't you ? nick : i do . but that 's not just my opinion . there 's actual scientific data to back that up . faith : see ? having doughnuts with us will make anything better . even being worried about dylan . nick : you know she 's never gon na let this go , so you might as well just sit down . sharon : okay . just for a minute . tell me one great thing that happened at school today . nick : first you can fill us in on dylan . sharon : uh , he 's away on assignment . that 's all , really . faith : he left his wedding ring and wallet at the house because it 's something top secret . right , mom ? sharon : well , that sounds a lot more impressive than dylan is just away at work . really , there 's nothing to worry about . [ loud crash ] ravi : hey . you do n't know swedish by any chance , do you ? ashley : [ chuckles ] what are you doing ? ravi : actually , it 's , uh , it 's very exciting . it , um , it occurred to me that by installing a standing desk in the new workspace , i can make it more ergonomically sound and increase productivity from 12.5 % to 16 % . ashley : right , not to mention roomier . ravi : exactly . but i 've run into a little conundrum called `` some assembly required . `` faulty advertising . it really should say `` major engineering required . `` ashley : huh . ravi : could -- could you pass me part c ? i need to connect it to part j . ashley : uh ... ravi : or -- or is it part w ? i 'm ... ashley : uh , are you aware that , um , we actually have people that do this ? ravi : we do ? ashley : yeah . it 's called maintenance . they 'll put the whole thing together for you . ravi : i - i really do n't want to bother other employees with this . i mean , i - i can han -- ashley : ravi , i need you to focus on jabotgo and other fantastic , brilliant innovations . ravi : as much as i want to make the most of this opportunity you 've given me , inventive thought does come more slowly when the spine 's out of alignment . ashley : yeah , well , you just leave your spinal alignment to me . [ drill whirs ] ravi : um , you 're -- you 're offering to -- to , uh ... ashley : i 'm offering to call maintenance for you , and i 'll make sure they put it together . ravi : oh , i see . well -- well , thank you . ashley : of course . and , um , in the meantime , your coding fingers are far too valuable , so step away from the drill . ravi : oh . [ chuckles ] ashley : awesome . ravi : [ clears throat ] lauren : what did you find out ? phyllis : hochman is still registered at the club . lauren : okay , so he 's still in town . phyllis : yeah , which does n't make any sense why he is so late to this meeting . he came to genoa city to make a deal with you , right ? lauren : well , maybe he 's visiting somebody else . phyllis : like who ? lauren : like the person who made him question this deal . phyllis : let 's not be paranoid , all right ? you are offering hochman a golden opportunity . he is a smart businessman . lauren : i know . this is gon na sound strange , but i feel like i 'm being sabotaged . phyllis : maybe it 's a good thing . lauren : no ! i need an investor , and i need it fast . phyllis : maybe hochman 's not our best choice . you said that you wanted a quiet angel , someone who respected your experience and would let you run things with their money . lauren : right . and one of the main reasons that i rejected jack 's offer is i 'm not gon na let someone come in and decide the fate of the company that i love . phyllis : then , honey , you find a way to make that clear to mr. hochman . when he gets here , you remind him that this is your company and you still have the choice whether or not you want to do business with him . lauren : oh , i will . if he ever gets here . [ sighs ] jack : well , i hope i 'm not interrupting lunch . gloria : no , not at all . we 're done . you know , michael treated me to an overnight stay here at the club , but now i 'm ready to go home . nothing like family . michael : you got that right . so what can i do for you , jack ? jack : well , uh , the foundation is going to send official notification for your tax purposes , but i wanted to say a very personal thank you for your and lauren 's great generosity the night of the new year 's eve benefit . it was really very generous . michael : we 're glad to be of help . gloria : i just wish you could have bid on that trip to france that victor donated . i could have gone with you . michael : i would have taken lauren . gloria : if she could have gone . my daughter - in - law 's very busy these days . jack : yes , meeting with investors . how is that going ? michael : oh , lauren told me that you made an offer on fenmore 's . well , it looks like we , uh , both missed out on having made the winning bid . well , no hard feelings . jack : just business . we all understand that . i 'm sure the right offer will come along . michael : oh , no doubt . not only is my wife brilliant . she 's a fighter . she will not stop until she finds the right fit for fenmore 's . [ cell phone rings ] michael : oh , uh , i 'm so sorry . oh , excuse me . i have to take this . jack : ooh , your lunch does n't seem to be agreeing with you . is it that or the fact that michael might find out that you 've been sneaking around behind his wife 's back to become a permanent member of her company ? gloria : for your information , jack , i 've already made inroads on our mutual quest . jack : have you ? gloria : i had a very interesting conversation with a mr. ben hochman . jack : ben hochman ? lauren , i underestimated you . incidentally , ben hochman usually gives money and then allows the people managing it to make it grow . that 's the perfect silent partner for lauren . gloria : ah , would have been . jack : what did you do , gloria ? gloria : gory details . actually , there was a meet . michael : all right , well , i have got to bail out a client . gloria : michael , why did n't you stay in corporate law ? dealing with criminals is so demeaning . michael : innocent until proven guilty , gloria . gloria : yeah , yeah , yeah , that 's what they all say . jack : i got that , i got that . the least i can do after your generosity at the benefit . michael : all right . next time it 's on me . jack : you got it . michael : and , uh , really , gloria , rethink my offer to extend your stay at the club . thanks again , jack . jack : take care . [ laughs ] gloria : what 's so funny ? jack : well , lauren does n't want you at work . michael does n't want you at home . gloria : you laugh all you want . i 'm still your only shot to get your hands on fenmore 's . jack : in your dreams . gloria : i told you i would deliver , jack . and when i do , i expect you to deliver . ha . sharon : okay , so tell me , what 's this exciting thing that happened at school today ? faith : okay . i joined the chess club . sharon : okay , i did n't even know there was a chess club . faith : there was n't . i just started one . nick : i mean , is this our daughter or what ? one lesson with her grandfather and she 's on her way to becoming a grand master . your grandfather would be so proud . faith : are n't you guys proud of me , too ? sharon : of course we are , honey . always . nick : yeah , sweetheart . if you have n't felt that lately , you know , that 's on us . we have wasted way too much time arguing . sharon : your father 's right . time is too precious to waste it . ever . nick : so , you want to show your mom what your grandfather taught you ? faith : do you really want to see ? sharon : absolutely . faith : okay . here we go . let me get it up . there we go . okay , first you have to choose if you want to play the black or the white . sharon : okay . which should i choose ? faith : why are you asking dad ? sharon : because he 's the one who taught me how to play . nick : do n't worry , though . you 're still probably gon na win . i am a terrible chess teacher . sharon : hmm , he 's just being modest . faith : i like this , us having fun together . nick : all right . so what 's it gon na be , sharon ? you want to defend or do you want to attack ? sharon : i 'll defend . faith : grandpa says the best defense is a good offense . sharon : yeah , dylan always says that , too . paul : something 's off , chris . this whole thing is taking too damn long . kevin : i hate to say it , but i 'm with paul on this . i 'm starting to get worried , too . christine : okay , because he has n't called ? maybe he has n't been alone or maybe he felt that he was under surveillance and did n't want to risk it . paul : dylan would find a way . kevin : what if he 's in serious trouble ? christine : or what if the silence is confirmation that he won the trust of fisk 's second - in - command ? kevin : how many legal lines would you have to cross to do that ? or not . i 'm just worst - casing . christine : [ scoffs ] or best case -- that dylan 's still in play because he 's passed the test with fisk 's top guy . alex : what 's the matter , derek ? i thought you came to play . dylan : what are you talking about ? you 're the one who 's stalling . you know you dropped the ball on my favorite game . alex : consider this a warm - up . dylan : better yet ... dessert . alex : hey . what -- what are you doing ? dylan : yeah , room service ? yeah , i 'm heading into an intense ... physical workout . alex : [ chuckles ] dylan : and , uh , i 'm gon na need some serious fuel . what do you got ? uh , yeah , how about a couple of filets ? mm - hmm . you like garlic butter ? that would be a no on the garlic butter . alex : dessert ? we have our own . but send up a side of whipped cream . dylan : who 'd you think i was talking to ? alex : pays to be careful . dylan : if you 'd really done your homework , you 'd know i would never wear a wire . alex : you would n't be the first guy who 's tried to take down fisk through me . dylan : ow . sounds like you 've been burned before . alex : i have to protect my boss . dylan : as do i . alex : now suppose you tell me who you really are and who the hell you 're working for . dylan : uh , congratulations and thank you . you just saved me a lot of trouble . alex : you 're glad i found it . dylan : i 'm good either way . my boss , however ... you 're not the only one with a suspicious boss . i was told to record our conversation in case there was any misunderstanding , and i 'm not too happy about being kept on a leash . are you ? nobody 's watching . nobody 's listening . we can just be ourselves . alex : i like you , derek . you 're hard to get a beat on . dylan : i ca n't wait to show you . as soon as you arrange my meet - up with your boss and this deal goes down . hmm . i do n't intend to wait . and i think fisk will agree . christine : come on , talk to me . paul : i do n't know . i was just thinking about one of the proudest days of my life when dylan decided to follow in my footsteps and in the footsteps of my father by joining the force . i mean , i - i - i knew what this was gon na be like , but i did n't anticipate anything like this . and sharon 's right . this is all on me . i just hope to god i made the right decision . christine : you have done everything you could possibly do . having the department standing by with backup and support , making sure that dylan gets the job done and gets home safe , even if that means letting the bad guys get away . paul : so you made that clear , right ? you told him that this case is not worth risking his life ? christine : yeah . paul : so he understands it ? christine : yeah . paul : okay . you know , i 'm sorry . this is not on you . i did n't mean that . christine : it 's okay . michael : we need to talk . kevin : sorry , michael . monitoring something for the chief . michael : i am here processing a client out on bail . if i can multitask to deal with a pressing personal matter , you can , too ! kevin : why ? what happened ? michael : gloria is what happened . kevin : nope . not having that talk . michael : you are not dodging me again . ever since i informed you that it was your turn to give gloria a place to call home , strangely enough , i ca n't get you on the phone . kevin : i had my turn last night , and it has left me permanently traumatized . you could have warned me . michael : what happened ? kevin : you put gloria up at the club , and guess who was draped in a towel when chloe and i went to the sauna for some alone time ? michael : gross . kevin : yeah , how am i ever gon na excise that image from my head ? michael : immersion therapy . all gloria , all the time . that 'll cure you . she 'll be at your place tonight . kevin : that 's not gon na happen . chloe 's put me on notice . michael : tough ! kevin : what if we go halfsies and we keep her at the club ? michael : no , no . that offer 's already been made and rejected . gloria apparently is convinced that she can only be happy living with family . i 've served my time . [ pats shoulder ] tag . you 're it . and remember , when you invite her , make sure she believes you mean it . lauren : i was getting worried about you , mr. hochman . hochman : oh , please , lauren , call me ben . i would have gotten here sooner , but i just spent the last few hours reviewing all the financial stats with my team , and , uh , it just took awhile . lauren : all right . well , let 's sit . hochman : great . lauren : i want to introduce you to my associate , phyllis summers , the creative genius behind the enhanced web design and marketing plan . hochman : oh , let me just say , ben hochman , and yes , phyllis , indeed you are a genius . [ laughs ] phyllis : good to meet you . lauren : let 's sit . hochman : [ sighs ] well , let me just say that the new features on the website are cutting edge , and this new virtual - dressing - room concept is brilliant . phyllis : well , the idea was to broaden our customer base and market directly to people who do n't have the time or the inclination to come into the stores . hochman : well , removing the human variable from the shopping experience can be a plus . in fact , i remember i was just talking to someone this past week that was saying that they were just all but done with traditional retail and with getting the sub par service that they received . lauren : hmm . well , certainly not from fenmore 's . phyllis : no . hochman : let 's get some drinks . jack : did we have a meeting scheduled ? ashley : no . i just wanted to hear about your rendezvous with gloria . jack : despite our mutual disdain for our former stepmother , she has proven to be quite useful . ashley : gloria useful ? how 's that even possible ? jack : well , she has told me that lauren is meeting with investors , among them the biggest fish in chicago . ashley : ben hochman ? jack : ben hochman . you know how deep his pockets are , yet gloria is very confident that deal will not go through , leaving the door wide open for us to acquire fenmore 's . ashley : well , jack , that 's assuming you can trust her information . jack : a leap i would never make . but if she can help jabot acquire her daughter - in - law 's company , well , it could pay off quite well for gloria . ashley : yeah , what 's her price ? corner office , big salary , executive title ? jack : all of the above probably . ashley : yeah . jack : but fenmore 's is so lucrative , it would be worth it . ashley : what about the deals that are already in place , jack , like your top moneymaker , jabotgo ? jack : what about them ? ashley : why are n't you investing more in a proven success ? because it was my big idea and not yours ? michael : quit stalling and make the damn phone call . kevin : after sharing that sauna with our mother , i 'm gon na need a little more incentive . michael : are you strong - arming me ? kevin : yes , i am . in exchange for taking mom into my home , i 'm gon na need free babysitting from uncle mikey and aunt lauren . michael : you 'll have a live - in sitter with gloria there . kevin : you know gloria , and you know she should n't be around children . okay , fine , she 's all yours . michael : all right , all right ! deal . kevin : [ sighs ] [ cell phone rings ] gloria : [ sighs ] kevin ! you left the sauna before we could spend some quality time together . even if we did have to share it with chloe . kevin : quality time , mom . that 's why i 'm calling . we ca n't get enough of that . so i was hoping you would , uh , come and stay with me for a night . hmm ! uh , did i say a night ? i meant several . gloria : you have no idea how deeply that touches me . what 's chloe going to say about this ? kevin : you know , bella 's been asking about you since christmas , and chloe 's willing to do anything to make that little girl happy . gloria : well , we ca n't disappoint bella . and now that your brother 's as good as kicked me out of his place , it 's nice to know that one of my sons cares . mwah . big kiss . kevin : are you happy ? michael : i am over the moon . kevin : yeah , well , do n't get too used to your privacy , because as soon as chloe finds out about this , you may be down a gloria , but you 're gon na be up a kevin . michael : mm - hmm . ta . jack : there . what do you think ? ashley : i love the ad , and i 'm very happy you 're taking the campaign where i want it -- the teenage market , because that is our sweet spot . jack : i could not be more impressed with what you 've done with jabotgo . fortunately for me , your success is our success . ashley : do you see my point , jackie ? you 're so consumed trying to get your hands on fenmore 's . you do n't pay any attention to the hard work that ravi and i have been doing . it 's annoying . are you even aware that because of ravi 's updates , jabotgo has now passed the 10 million download mark ? jack : no , i was not aware of that . how do i show my appreciation ? ashley : well , you can start by giving ravi his due . you know , he 's happy with that little broom closet of an office , but he deserves more , like a raise or how about a `` thank you `` ? jack : just because this kid has a crush on you , ash -- ashley : would you shut up ? that has nothing to do with anything , and you know it . he 's brilliant . look , you ca n't afford to lose him , jack , especially if you do get fenmore 's . you 're gon na need him more than ever . jack : i will give him a raise . ashley : people need to know that their contributions matter . jack : then i 'll give him a pat on the back the next time i see him . ashley : did you know that at the benefit victor newman joked around about hiring ravi from us ? but what if he follows through and you 're so busy trying to get your hands on fenmore 's that you lose our best asset ? lauren : our loyal customers from tweens to society matrons still love to come in the store . you know , they want to feel the fabric , they want to try on an outfit in front of a mirror and maybe snag that pair of shoes or that sweater that they may have missed online . phyllis : that 's true . hochman : yeah , but the women i meet are all done with the brick - and - mortar approach , not to mention the underwhelming consumer relations . lauren : oh , but fenmore 's has always had impeccable customer service . ben , you are investing in a long - established enterprise with unlimited profit potential . hochman : well , i have thought on it . and i am willing to make an investment . lauren : [ laughs ] that is wonderful . with you as our angel investor -- hochman : but i want 51 % . phyllis : i was n't aware that was on the table . lauren : no . it was n't . what changed ? hochman : i 've done my due diligence , and 51 % is the only way that i can make this work for me . lauren : i ca n't do that . fenmore 's is a family - run business , and a fenmore will always have controlling interest . hochman : you wo n't get a better offer . lauren : we 'll see about that . thank you so much for coming in from chicago . hochman : it was my pleasure . thank you both . phyllis : thank you . he 's a pompous ass . lauren : yeah . but what if that pompous ass is right ? lauren : why am i allowing ben hochman to make me second - guess myself ? what is the one thing he had going for himself ? phyllis : one thing we need -- money . lauren : yes . and money is essential . but it does not buy you taste and it does not buy you success . do you know what we have going for us ? phyllis : what ? lauren : we know success , we know fashion , we know retail , and we know what women want . phyllis : that 's right . give me some . yeah . lauren : [ chuckles ] phyllis : you know what ? i applaud your courage . i know why you called the deal off . lauren : yeah . i 'm gon na have to do this without hochman . phyllis : fenmore 's is going to need a major cash infusion or we are going to be forced to close some doors . lauren : i know . there 's , uh , gould , macnamara . phyllis : okay , if those do n't pan out , maybe you want to reconsider jack 's offer . lauren : [ scoffs ] jack 's not investing . jack would be doing what jack does best , and that 's taking over . and i will not allow that to happen . phyllis : in that case , i may have another idea . ravi : if i violated company policy by making improvements to my office without permission -- jack : no , no . ravi : i really did n't mean -- jack : ravi , ravi , stand down . i did n't bring you here to make you walk the plank . ashley : yeah , you 're not in trouble , ravi . jack just wants to talk to you about our , um , our platform expansion . right , jack ? jack : right . ravi , sometimes when you 're rushing to get a new product out or you 're excited about shaping the future , even the most diligent c.e.o . can sometimes overlook the efforts of the people who sweat out the details that separate great companies from the also - rans . i want everyone on my team to feel that he or -- or she is appreciated . and to that end , if you need anything -- markers , staples , i do n't know , a stand - up desk , beyond -- we 're there for you . ravi : thank you . uh , and now that you mention it , uh , jack ... there is one thing . sharon : well , thanks for sharing your dad - daughter day with me , even if faith did slaughter me at chess . nick : you were a good sport . you know , i 'm sure faith made my dad 's day by telling him she started that chess club at school . sharon : how do you feel about your daughter learning at your father 's knee ? nick : it 's a little scary , is n't it ? sharon : yeah . but she adores victor . there 's no denying it . nick : and it 's obvious he is crazy about her .

's life . i was supposed to go on thinking that he was wonderful , siding with him in all his fights , forgiving his flaws , explaining away his mistakes . jax : yeah . courtney : i was supposed to enable a.j . forever , and when i stopped , well , i became the enemy . jax : i 'm sorry you had to go through all that . courtney : oh , hey , all the lies that a.j . taught me to see when the truth is right in front of me . i love you , jax . i do . i 'm so glad that we 're going to spend our lives together .

[ phone beeps ] sam : what am i missing ? jason : there 's a computer system set up in the spare room with digital recordings of sonny 's voice . michael wrote that letter because he heard sonny reject him . michael heard his father say he did n't want him . sam : now , that is n't human . a.j . claims to love michael . why would he hurt him like that ? jason : a.j . does n't love michael . it makes him feel powerful to have fathered a son . he does n't know or care about who michael is or what michael needs . all michael is , is something to use against sonny and carly , nothing more . sam : at least we 're on the right track . michael is definitely alive . jason : yeah . it 's true . i was afraid , even though i knew . sam : i know . jason : okay , sam , we got to get michael back . did you find any passports or travel documents ? sam : no . jason : no , come on . [ scene_break ] ric : john . john : you have a report on your interview with rachel adair ? ric : the only thing rachel remembers about the sandoval killings is that there were shots fired . there 's no mention of a gunman , much less jason . john : what -- that 's it , that 's all ? ric : i 'm afraid so . john : you know , you could 've told me this on the phone . ric : i know , john , but i 'd like a little face - to - face with you . john : all right , here 's my face . ric : you need to understand something . rachel 's statement is a matter of public record . now , if that statement should suddenly change after a conversation with you , then my next trip is going to be to your superiors at the bureau , where i will tell them that you obstructed justice and suborned perjury in an attempt to frame jason morgan and sonny corinthos . [ scene_break ] john : you know something , hotshot ? you do n't make the best witness -- ric : hmm . john : since you continually misuse your position as district attorney to protect your brother , a lifelong criminal . you know , your little plan could backfire on you . you could be the one facing obstruction charges . who knows , maybe even rico violations for failing to investigate when you know perfectly well that sonny corinthos is responsible for those shootings . ric : i know this is a concept that you either fail to realize and grasp or willingly choose to ignore , but knowing is n't enough . you have to have actual proof , john . that , as opposed to the fabricated kind that you 've been so fond of lately . indisputable proof . i suspect that agent marshall had quite a bit on you . that 's why she called and left a message for me the day that her car exploded . john : whoa , whoa , whoa , whoa . are we going to do this tune again ? you accusing me of something here ? ric : no , john , i 'm not accusing you of anything . but you have been brought up on charges for obstruction once before . now , if reese was able to prove that you did it once again in service to your vendetta against sonny , then i think you 'd have quite a bit to lose . right ? your job you 've become so fond of , your hard - won reputation , your career -- such as it is . but mostly , and most importantly , your precious daughter . you and i both know carly would never forgive you if you suddenly took sonny out of morgan 's life , especially now that michael is gone . i 'd say those are pretty strong reasons for wanting reese permanently out of the picture . do n't you ? [ scene_break ] carly : accepting my marriage was over on an intellectual level was one thing . seeing sonny in bed with another woman was something else . lorenzo : that 's why it 's hard for me to believe it did n't hurt . carly : okay , i felt a twinge , all right ? a little stab of something , part habit , part conditioned reflex , part sadness . but at the same time , it was liberating . it set me free once and for all . you 're skeptical . i do n't blame you . sonny and i have been over plenty of times and it never seems to take , but i -- i know this time is different . and if it takes you a while to get there , that 's okay , i 'll wait . lorenzo : do n't make promises you ca n't keep . carly : okay , now 's no time to be having this conversation anyway . i got to keep my focus on michael . i 'm going to go see jason . lorenzo : about michael , or to tell him that sonny 's sleeping with a fed ? carly : jason has a right to know . sonny 's not just putting his own freedom at risk , he 's compromising jason 's , as well . [ scene_break ] sonny : i wo n't be long , so , you know -- reese : you 're going after carly , are n't you ? sonny : i 'm not , no . talk about making things worse -- see , carly has a temper like you would n't believe . reese : yeah ? sonny : if she 's hurt or angry or both , which i think she is , she 'll overlook the reality of our divorce and then she 'll go straight to payback . reese : oh , i feel so much better now . sonny : well , you do n't understand . see , when carly lashes out , she usually -- the one she usually hurts is herself . but in this situation , she could be putting your life in danger , so i need to make sure that she does n't tell anyone that you 're here , you know , especially her nut job father . reese : but you just told me you 're not going after carly . sonny : i 'm not , i 'm not , i 'm not , i 'm not . i 'm going to see jason . because usually when carly goes off , he 's the one that can keep her calm and quiet . reese : okay . fascinating . sonny : thank you very much . reese : no , not you . the way you talk about carly like she 's a force of nature or something . sonny : well , i mean , you know , she 's been known to be . reese : it 's obvious how much you admire her . sonny : well , i got a thing for strong women . that 's why -- that 's why i 'm attracted to you . reese : oh , because i remind you of your ex - wife ? nice . that 's just what every woman wants to hear . sonny : no , no . actually , you know , you 're strong , you know , in a different way . i mean , you got -- you got the fire , right ? reese : do i ? sonny : but you got this -- this pain that 's rooted deep inside . you ever get tired of hurting ? because i know i do . that 's why upstairs i was starting to feel -- starting to feel real good , you know ? for that one moment in time , the pain was just -- was just gone , you know ? i can get used to that . [ scene_break ] john : thank you for meeting me here . man : why the urgent request ? do you need more money to procure evidence against sonny ? john : no , i need some answers . i 've been keeping the pressure on sonny . it was n't so hard when he was standing in the ruins of his life , but now he is in control and he is fighting back , and i need to know who i can trust . i need some names . who am i in partnership with here ?

's a big liar . how could this happen ? sam : michael is a little boy , jason . he 's no match for a.j . i mean , as far as cons go , this is one of the best i 've ever seen -- the foresight , attention to detail . a.j . probably had some convincing lie in place from the moment michael walked through that door . jason : if i get my -- when i get my hands -- sam : no , no , no , no , no -- do n't -- do n't go there , okay ? we need to focus on finding out where they 're headed and that is all . jason : okay , you take the luggage ; i 'm going to search the rest of the house . sam : okay . [ scene_break ] carly : do n't misunderstand , i could care less who sonny chooses to sleep with -- even if it is a fed who wants to send him away for 20 to life . i mean , if sonny ca n't get his mind out of his pants long enough to show a little discretion , sonny deserves what he gets . lorenzo : not even a flicker of hurt or regret ? carly : not even one . i have more important things to focus on , like finding my little boy . and when i do , and michael 's home safe , i promise i 'm going to shift my focus to my own happiness , starting with you . lorenzo : i 'm getting a strong feeling of déja vu . carly : how so ? lorenzo : you turned to me before because you wanted to pay sonny back for being with another woman . that ended up in disaster all the way around . carly , i 'm not going down that path again . if you and i are ever going to have a place in this world together , it has to be because you want me , not revenge against sonny . [ scene_break ] sonny : carly -- carly and i will always be connected , you know , through our children -- through morgan , and i like it like that . carly , you know , is an amazing woman . we 've been to hell and back 10 times over and i want her in my life -- as a , you know , co - parent , as a friend , because any more than that , we -- it does n't really work out for us . but i do n't -- you know , i do n't owe carly fidelity and i do n't , you know , expect it from her . i mean , i do n't feel guilty wanting you . right ? i 'm a man , you 're a woman . and i do n't expect you , you know , to feel guilty about anything that i -- you know . you know what i mean ? reese : okay . this is a complete and utter violation of every professional and personal ethic that i have . it just puts me right in the trick bag . seduce me and you virtually ensure that i can never testify against you , not with any credibility . sonny : do you think this is what i 'm trying to do -- this is all about compromising you ? reese : i think it 's a high probability . sonny , look , i -- i do n't want to doubt your motives here -- sonny : right . reese : and i do n't want to second - guess my own motives . sonny : right . reese : i just -- i do n't want us to look back on this night -- or any other night -- and wish that it never happened . sonny : right . reese : and then that 's why , okay , even though i probably want you more than i 've ever wanted any man , i ca n't sleep with you . not tonight , and -- and not any night . [ scene_break ] courtney : i was just thinking about a.j . and how much he must hate me . it 's -- it 's unsettling . jax : you care about how a.j . quartermaine feels about you ? courtney : i just -- i care that , somewhere in the world , there is a very bitter and motivated man who obviously has nothing better to do with his time than dream up ways of making me suffer . anyway , i do n't know . it 's like i -- i ca n't figure out how i could 've loved him as much as i thought i did . it 's -- jax : well , he sold you on a lie . and then he started believing it himself -- until you figured out the truth about who a.j . really was , and then he could n't forgive you . courtney : that 's very perceptive . jax : well , i was there , remember ? i watched him create a persona that you could fall in love with -- black sheep , lonely and misunderstood , just needed the right woman to turn his life around . i remember when you and a.j . eloped . courtney : oh , god . yeah , everybody but alice the maid showed up and tried to warn me it was a mistake . but i did n't listen . god -- jax , when i think about how self - righteous i was , you know , and insisting that you did n't know or understand a.j . , when all of you knew him so much better than me . jax : i remember the look on his face when you were defending him . courtney : huh . jax : yeah . yeah , it must 've felt pretty good -- you know , a beautiful woman like you , happened to be sonny 's sister ? that was probably the biggest high of his life . of course , he wanted to continue that . that 's why he set you up over and over again -- to prove your love . until you finally figured it out , and then he turned on you , did n't he ? courtney : yeah , i thought -- well , i mean , at the time i thought that he was just jealous of jason , you know ? but you 're right . you 're right ; it was so much more than that . i mean , i was supposed to be the good thing in a.j . 's life . i was supposed to go on thinking that he was wonderful , siding with him in all his fights , forgiving his flaws , explaining away his mistakes . jax : yeah . courtney : i was supposed to enable a.j . forever , and when i stopped , well , i became the enemy . jax : i 'm sorry you had to go through all that . courtney : oh , hey , all the lies that a.j . taught me to see when the truth is right in front of me . i love you , jax . i do . i 'm so glad that we 're going to spend our lives together .

[ phone beeps ] sam : what am i missing ? jason : there 's a computer system set up in the spare room with digital recordings of sonny 's voice . michael wrote that letter because he heard sonny reject him . michael heard his father say he did n't want him . sam : now , that is n't human . a.j . claims to love michael . why would he hurt him like that ? jason : a.j . does n't love michael . it makes him feel powerful to have fathered a son . he does n't know or care about who michael is or what michael needs . all michael is , is something to use against sonny and carly , nothing more . sam : at least we 're on the right track . michael is definitely alive . jason : yeah . it 's true . i was afraid , even though i knew . sam : i know . jason : okay , sam , we got to get michael back . did you find any passports or travel documents ? sam : no . jason : no , come on . [ scene_break ] ric : john . john : you have a report on your interview with rachel adair ? ric : the only thing rachel remembers about the sandoval killings is that there were shots fired . there 's no mention of a gunman , much less jason . john : what -- that 's it , that 's all ? ric : i 'm afraid so . john : you know , you could 've told me this on the phone . ric : i know , john , but i 'd like a little face - to - face with you . john : all right , here 's my face . ric : you need to understand something . rachel 's statement is a matter of public record . now , if that statement should suddenly change after a conversation with you , then my next trip is going to be to your superiors at the bureau , where i will tell them that you obstructed justice and suborned perjury in an attempt to frame jason morgan and sonny corinthos . [ scene_break ] john : you know something , hotshot ? you do n't make the best witness -- ric : hmm . john : since you continually misuse your position as district attorney to protect your brother , a lifelong criminal . you know , your little plan could backfire on you . you could be the one facing obstruction charges . who knows , maybe even rico violations for failing to investigate when you know perfectly well that sonny corinthos is responsible for those shootings . ric : i know this is a concept that you either fail to realize and grasp or willingly choose to ignore , but knowing is n't enough . you have to have actual proof , john . that , as opposed to the fabricated kind that you 've been so fond of lately . indisputable proof . i suspect that agent marshall had quite a bit on you . that 's why she called and left a message for me the day that her car exploded . john : whoa , whoa , whoa , whoa . are we going to do this tune again ? you accusing me of something here ? ric : no , john , i 'm not accusing you of anything . but you have been brought up on charges for obstruction once before . now , if reese was able to prove that you did it once again in service to your vendetta against sonny , then i think you 'd have quite a bit to lose . right ? your job you 've become so fond of , your hard - won reputation , your career -- such as it is . but mostly , and most importantly , your precious daughter . you and i both know carly would never forgive you if you suddenly took sonny out of morgan 's life , especially now that michael is gone . i 'd say those are pretty strong reasons for wanting reese permanently out of the picture . do n't you ? [ scene_break ] carly : accepting my marriage was over on an intellectual level was one thing . seeing sonny in bed with another woman was something else . lorenzo : that 's why it 's hard for me to believe it did n't hurt . carly : okay , i felt a twinge , all right ? a little stab of something , part habit , part conditioned reflex , part sadness . but at the same time , it was liberating . it set me free once and for all . you 're skeptical . i do n't blame you . sonny and i have been over plenty of times and it never seems to take , but i -- i know this time is different . and if it takes you a while to get there , that 's okay , i 'll wait . lorenzo : do n't make promises you ca n't keep . carly : okay , now 's no time to be having this conversation anyway . i got to keep my focus on michael . i 'm going to go see jason . lorenzo : about michael , or to tell him that sonny 's sleeping with a fed ? carly : jason has a right to know . sonny 's not just putting his own freedom at risk , he 's compromising jason 's , as well . [ scene_break ] sonny : i wo n't be long , so , you know -- reese : you 're going after carly , are n't you ? sonny : i 'm not , no . talk about making things worse -- see , carly has a temper like you would n't believe . reese : yeah ? sonny : if she 's hurt or angry or both , which i think she is , she 'll overlook the reality of our divorce and then she 'll go straight to payback . reese : oh , i feel so much better now . sonny : well , you do n't understand . see , when carly lashes out , she usually -- the one she usually hurts is herself . but in this situation , she could be putting your life in danger , so i need to make sure that she does n't tell anyone that you 're here , you know , especially her nut job father . reese : but you just told me you 're not going after carly . sonny : i 'm not , i 'm not , i 'm not , i 'm not . i 'm going to see jason . because usually when carly goes off , he 's the one that can keep her calm and quiet . reese : okay . fascinating . sonny : thank you very much . reese : no , not you . the way you talk about carly like she 's a force of nature or something . sonny : well , i mean , you know , she 's been known to be . reese : it 's obvious how much you admire her . sonny : well , i got a thing for strong women . that 's why -- that 's why i 'm attracted to you . reese : oh , because i remind you of your ex - wife ? nice . that 's just what every woman wants to hear . sonny : no , no . actually , you know , you 're strong , you know , in a different way . i mean , you got -- you got the fire , right ? reese : do i ? sonny : but you got this -- this pain that 's rooted deep inside . you ever get tired of hurting ? because i know i do . that 's why upstairs i was starting to feel -- starting to feel real good , you know ? for that one moment in time , the pain was just -- was just gone , you know ? i can get used to that .

'cause i love her . mia : i love rey . but for some reason , whenever you and i are alone in a room , all you want to do is get -- arturo : is get away from you . mia : [ laughs ] arturo : all i want to do is get away from you , mia . and you -- you need to work on keeping your marriage straight , and forget about the other night . like it or not , the only person in my future is abby . mia : who you trying to convince ? arturo : mia , if you know what 's good for you , you 'll drop this . mia : [ sighs happily ] aww . ohhh . abby : [ sighs ] mmph . mia : you just missed arturo . abby : but he left me something to remember him by . beautiful . are n't they ? mia : incredible , actually . well , not the flowers , but more so you two as a couple . of all the women he could have , he settled for you . sharon : i do n't respond well to threats of any kind , especially from you . phyllis : i am not a threat . it 's the newmans we need to worry about . sharon : i can comfortably say you are being paranoid . phyllis : i am being logical . sharon : then you ca n't hear yourself . phyllis : sharon , please . i need you to listen to me for one minute . sharon : what do you think i 've been doing ? phyllis : all right . 30 seconds . not even a minute . how 'bout that ? victor has been released on bail , which means the entire newman clan is gon na be closing ranks . and since victor could not care less what happens with us , we are the ones at risk . sharon : that does n't make any sense . phyllis : nikki just confessed to nick . how long do you think it 's gon na take for her to come clean with victor , all right ? if he has n't already figured this out himself . he has to prove his innocence . sharon : but nikki promised . phyllis : nikki was ready to confess to anything with a heartbeat for weeks . she was ready to spill her guts at j.t . 's memorial . i had to get up there and save us , for god 's sakes . sharon : with reed sitting front and center . not one of your best moments , phyllis . phyllis : okay . i apologized . but reed needed to face some ugly truths . and it 's time that you did the same . the entire newman family is gon na do everything they can to keep nikki out of prison . which includes pinning j.t . 's murder on us . abby : arturo is so sweet and attentive . i mean , he is up to his eyeballs in work , but he still brought me flowers . mia : aww . abby : mm - hmm . mia : that 's so sweet . you want my advice ? abby : as a matter of fact , no . mia : enjoy it while you can . okay ? the last thing arturo wants is to settle down . abby : he is a completely different person than who he was in miami . mia : you think so ? abby : i know so . mia : funny , because when he came over the other night to fix the heat and it was just the two of us ... it felt like old times . abby : when he was fixing what ? mia : oh , he did n't tell you ? oh , the -- the -- the night of the storm . yeah . i thought your boyfriend tells you everything ? it 's never good , abby , when your boyfriend starts keeping things from you . [ gasps ] oh , my god . maybe that 's why he got you flowers . abby : you know what , mia ? maybe you need to spend more time with your man and stop worrying about mine . mia : oh , i 'm not worried . but you should be . abby : do n't you have someone 's nose hairs to pluck ? mia : [ laughs ] mattie : just hear me out ! cane : okay , listen , i 'm honored you want to be part of this trip , okay , but -- mattie : let me help ! we 'll bring charlie along . mom will take one look at us , and she 'll remember how strong our family is . and i can bring her the essay i wrote for my college applications . i 'll read it to her in person . it 's all about her , how much she means to me . and she 'll remember who she is again , and we 'll cry a little , and we 'll promise to be better moving forward . because that 's how we 're gon na make it through this . not by keeping secrets , shutting each other out , but by doing this together . cane : listen , i know , and i love that you want to be part of this , but i have to go and do this alone , okay ? mattie : it 's that bad , huh ? oh , my god . is it worse than bad ? you know what ? no . do n't answer that . for the first time in a long time , i actually want to be kept in the dark . but whatever it is , you need to fix it , dad . cane : i 'm trying , baby . mattie : do n't come back until it 's better , okay ? give her my love . cane : i will . mattie : and remind her that we 'll see her really soon . cane : you can consider that done . mattie : and promise me that everything 's gon na be okay . cane : [ sighs ] i promise you , baby . i love you . okay ? i love you . mattie : i love you , too . cane : i love you , baby . lily : fen baldwin ... billy : [ chuckles ] lily : ... is a pop star ? billy : pop star in training , believe it or not . lily : [ chuckles ] i thought he was gon na be a hotshot lawyer like his dad . billy : yeah , well , the best laid plans of mike and fen sometimes go astray . lily : i suppose . billy : are you worried that mattie 's gon na shift gears and join the circus ? lily : no . no , no , no . if she 's happy walking the high wire , then i 'm happy , too . but there 's something else i want to know . billy : okay . anything . lily : why you got the sudden urge to hop on a jet and come here . billy : you should be giving me crap for not coming sooner , right ? we 're friends . i - i -- i care about you . lily : you have really lost your touch for lying . that 's bad . billy : what are you saying ? we 're not friends ? is that what you 're saying ? lily : no , we 're friends . but friends should be honest with each other . if there 's something going on , just tell me . i mean , is it something at home ? just please be honest with me . i mean , what are n't you telling me ? sometimes , bipolar i disorder `` the young and the restless `` will continue . arturo : whoa ! whoa . hey , why are you so upset , babe ? i mean , is it your dad ? abby : mia . arturo : what did she do now ? abby : i ran into her at crimson lights . she made some pretty disgusting insinuations about what happened when you went over to fix the heat ? arturo : look , i knew i should have told you about that -- abby : no , she made it seem like something salacious went down when all you were doing was a good deed . i mean , that girl will stop at nothing . she made it seem like you were keeping this secret from me , which , clearly , you weren't . arturo : i mean , i - i did n't think it was that important -- abby : i mean , who cares if you fixed a furnace ? okay ? you fix a hundred things every single day . i do n't need every detail . [ sighs ] arturo : i 'm sorry . abby : no , you do n't need to apologize . mia , on the other hand ... arturo : yeah , she really just does n't know when to stop . abby : has she always been this way ? arturo : pretty much , yeah . like my mom always said -- bumblebees and mosquitos . abby : oh . arturo : they 're always real busy , but only one of them 's up to any good . abby : well , she is definitely a mosquito . arturo : [ sighs ] just do what i do -- ignore her . abby : she said that , uh , you being there felt like old times . can you believe that ? arturo : babe , how could it be like old times ? i 'm yours . i mean , the past , it 's a dead issue . you are my future . you 're my everything . abby : [ sighs ] sharon : you might have a point . you never know what victor will do when his back 's against a wall . phyllis : he was ready to flee the country with nikki to stay safe . sharon : and i ca n't count on her to keep us out of this . there 's no love lost between me and my former mother - in - law . phyllis : nothing 's stopping her from throwing us under the bus . sharon : she 's only implicated herself and victoria , though , right ? phyllis : we 're talking about a woman who recently fell off the wagon . she 's living with m.s . she has a daughter who almost died at the hands of an abusive husband . how much more is it gon na take for her to tell the whole story ? you think her family 's gon na believe her when she tells them that they came up with the plan , her and victoria , to take j.t . 's body and remove it on their own ? sharon : but nick would never let the mother of his children be set up like that . phyllis : since when has victor given his family a vote ? you know him . first hint of danger , he 's gon na pull up that drawbridge , and he 's gon na let us flounder in the moat . and then what does nick do ? turn in his mother ? we need to protect ourselves as a team . like it or not , we are each other 's best hope right now . lily : is it my kids ? i mean , are -- are charlie and mattie okay ? billy : no , no . the kids are fine . i saw them a few days ago . besides you being in here , they 're -- they 're great . lily : okay , then who ? my dad ? billy : he 's -- he 's fine as far as i know . lily : devon . billy : you know devon . he 's busy as ever . lily : cane ? [ sighs ] oh , god . i knew it . billy : [ sighs ] lily : i knew it . i knew it . [ sighs ] he was here a couple of days ago , and ... everything went lopsided . you know , and it 's my fault , because i -- i had this class to teach , and i - i would n't spend time with him , and it did n't end well , and i just -- i 've been kicking myself ever since . billy : lily , you ca n't blame yourself , okay ? lily : no , look , i know that you 're not his biggest fan . i know that . but he 's really , really stepped it up . he 's taking care of the kids . and knowing that he 's out there , and he 's loving me and missing me as much as i 'm missing him , it -- it gets me through every hellish day in here . okay , billy , something is going on . i can see it in your eyes . i mean , if it was important enough to fly here , then it 's important enough to tell me . so just tell me the truth . i mean , do n't be one of those people trying to protect me from it . billy : lily , i -- lily : billy , you 're scaring me . what ? what is it ? billy : i should n't have come here , okay ? lily : no . billy : i 'm sorry . this is just a -- lily : no . it is never a mistake to tell the truth . trust me , i 've learned that the hard way . so what is it ? what happened ? just -- just tell me . just be honest with me . billy : cane and ... victoria . lily : cane and victoria what ? billy : i walked in on them kissing on the couch like a couple teenagers . we do whatever it takes to fight cancer . sharon : let 's think about our options here first . phyllis : we have no options . sharon : kind of ironic , do n't you think , you having to come to me for help and not nick ? if nick and i were still together , he would have told me the truth about nikki 's confession right away . but with you , the trust just is n't there , is it ? hardly the basis for a strong , committed relationship . phyllis : there are bigger things to worry about right now . are you gon na continue to put your trust in the newmans ? sharon : i 'll never trust victor again . but i did see nick and victoria 's cars at the ranch earlier today . phyllis : so you 're telling me that nick is welcoming home his father that he detests ? they 're circling the wagons . it 's time to act now . lily : there 's no way you saw what you think you saw . billy : no , you 're right . i do n't -- i do n't know what i was thinking . i 'm sorry . lily : no . stop . tell me again . cane and ... ? billy : victoria . lily : and you walked into her house ? billy : i walked in , and i saw them kissing on the couch , hands all over each other . lily : they hate each other . billy : that 's exactly what i thought . lily : [ sighs ] i have been locked in here . he 's been telling me that everything is fine . and this whole time he 's been cheating on me with victoria ? billy : no , as far as victoria says , it has n't gone beyond kissing . lily : so then it was a drunken mistake , like when he slept with juliet . billy : no . he was stone - cold sober . victoria did say that it was n't the first time that they ... locked lips . lily : so if you had n't walked in when you did ... billy : i do n't know . lily : [ inhales sharply ] oh , i feel like i 'm gon na be sick . billy : just take it easy , okay ? just try and breathe . lily : how could he do that ? why would he do that ? billy : i do n't know . trust me , i - i -- i do n't know . lily : [ sighs ] billy : i mean , victoria and i have been spending a lot of time together , too , and -- and it was only yesterday she told me that she loved me , and i thought for a second that we were gon na get back on track , and i -- lily : i feel like there 's this volcano raging inside of me , and i ca n't do anything to let it out . billy : okay , take it easy , all right ? do not let this destroy you . you hear me ? lily : no , i can't . because they 'll add time to my sentence , and they 'll take away my privileges and the class i 'm teaching . so i have to be the model prisoner . billy : i should n't have come here . lily : no . billy : [ sighs ] lily : you did the right thing . i have a right to know . so thank you for telling me . billy : you gon na be okay ? lily : [ inhales ] you know , when i was on the outside , this would have broken me . but in here , you have to be tough as nails . because it 's all about survival . billy : what are you gon na do now that you know ? lily : i 'm gon na survive this . by any means necessary . arturo : where 's rey ? mia : work . arturo : talking to abby , mia ? seriously ? you wanted trouble , you found it . mia : well , i did n't expect her to go running to you in a panic . arturo : [ stammering ] what do i need to do to keep you out of my relationship , huh ? mia : all i told her was that when you came over , it felt like old times . it was just chitchat . what , does she not have a sense of humor or is she that insecure ? arturo : why do you keep doing this to me ? mia : because i am trying to protect you from lady fancypants , okay , mijo ? she 's gon na throw you away when she gets bored of you ! she sees you as some kind of novelty item to her snooty friends , okay ? the boyfriend from the wrong side of the tracks . arturo : that is not true . mia : what you and me had ... you feel that with abby ? be real with yourself . because if you do n't , you are making the mistake of a lifetime . arturo : mia , you are my mistake . not abby . you . mia : then why 'd you come over here ? arturo : what ? i just told you ! mia : you could have told me by text . e - mail . but no . that was n't good enough . not close enough . you wanted to know whether or not what you feel with me is real when we 're inches apart . it 's real , arturo . and it always will be . you said it yourself -- there is always gon na be this something between us . how did we test our dixie ultra plates ? arturo : mia , if you keep threatening my relationship with abby , i 'll come clean to rey about everything . mia : you 'd never do that . arturo : give me one good reason . mia : because we both know , this time , you 'd lose him forever . [ lock clicks ] mia : hi ! hi . rey : hey . i did n't expect to see you here . arturo : rey , we got to talk about something . something i should have told you before . rey : okay . what is it ? mia : uh , uh , he keeps going on and on about keeping this furnace maintained , you know . one wrong move , and we 're up for a cold spell around here again . um , but , um , i 've been wanting to ask you something . um ... come here , baby . rey : okay . shoot . mia : uh ... i 'm so nervous . i do n't even know how to do this . rey : whatever it is , just say it . it 's okay . mia : [ giggles ] [ sighs ] when we got married , it was a crazy day . [ chuckles ] um , you know , i was thinking about the wrong things , i wanted everything to be perfect . i was focused on everything else when i should have been focused on the man i was about to marry , and this new life that we were gon na start . i made some promises . and , god forgive me , i broke them . but i 've changed . because i 'm not the woman i was then . [ sighs ] because now i know that you are the most important thing in the world to me . okay ? i 've never loved anyone the way i love you . you 're the love of my life . [ sighs ] and i want to make new promises . promises that i wo n't ever break . i want to prove to everyone that you are the only one that matters to me . no more broken trust . no more empty promises . i want to show you , and everyone in our lives , that you are the most important thing in the world to me , and that ... [ voice breaking ] nothing can tear us apart . rey ... will you marry me ? again ? [ chuckles ] rey : nothing would make me happier . mia : [ exclaims ] phyllis : i 'm very happy that you 're starting to see things my way . & sharon : i did n't say that . phyllis : i really hope you 're joking right now . sharon : i do n't know what you heard , phyllis . phyllis : uh , `` i will never trust victor again . `` did those words just not come out of your mouth ? sharon : yes . but i did n't say anything about victoria and nikki . phyllis : i can not emphasize this strongly enough -- putting our personal differences aside and forming an alliance is the only way out of this . sharon : there is no real proof that the newmans are conspiring against us . phyllis : we may not have any proof yet , but are you willing to wait and see ? sharon : yes . because i may not trust victor , but there 's one person i trust even less than him -- you . phyllis : sharon , i am trying to help you here . sharon : you would double - cross me in a heartbeat if it meant saving your own skin . so thanks , but no thanks . i 'll take my chances on my own . cane : [ sighs ] [ sighs , sniffles ] visiting hours ended a half hour ago . cane : i know , but this is an emergency , all right ? i need to see my wife . her name is lily ashby . sorry . she ca n't have any more visitors today . cane : wait , wait , wait , wait . w - what do you mean visitors ? she has n't had any visitors . you must be mistaken . no , there was someone . a mr . billy abbott .
cane tells maddie he is going to visit lily . maddie presses him as to why he is going tonight and does n't buy his excuses . she questions his urgency in visiting , all while billy is at the prison waiting for visitation with lily . at the coffee house arturo presents abbey with flowers . she is impressed and they kiss . later , rey arrives and notices the flowers and comments that once you find the right woman not to let her go , as sharon looks on . sharon then gets a phone call from phyllis and goes into the back room . abbey reminds rey that he arrested her father but she agrees to be cordial . abbey then gets upset when rey mentions victor is out on bail , as she is always the last to know . later , sharon arrives at jabot to meet phyllis who summoned her under false pretenses . phyllis tries to convince sharon that they are on their own and that the newman 's will only look after themselves . sharon touts that at least nick would have confided in her about the murder if they were together and she tells phyllis she wants no part of any plan with her . back at the coffee house rey and arturo chat and rey reminisces how their father would bring their mother flowers when he did something wrong as arturo looks a bit uncomfortable . rey goes on to talk about the importance and trust of family and how he would understand if arturo needs to take a step back because of the investigation . arturo , relieved that rey was n't referring to mia , tells him that he and abbey are solid . arturo tells rey he was more of a role model to him than their father ever was . a shocked rey just stares at arturo before standing up and giving him a heartfelt hug . mia enters and questions what is going on . after rey leaves for the station , mia taunts arturo about his feeling guilty about the other night , and insists arturo has it bad for his sister in law . arturo insists his future is with abbey to which mia just laughs . after arturo leaves mia walks over to the flowers . abbey intervenes and grabs her flowers back . mia fills abbey in on the other night when arturo fixed her furnace and taunts abbey because arturo did n't mention it to her . mia tries to get under abbey 's skin which clearly works . a frustrated abbey asks mia ‘do n't you have someone 's nose hairs to pluck ? ' and stalks off leaving a smug mia smiling . it does n't take long for abbey to find arturo and confront him about mia 's inferring that something salacious happened between mia and arturo . she then tells him she is ok with him not telling her everything and asks if mia has always been this way . arturo tells her she has always been that way and insists that abbey is his future and his everything .
<s>[INST] [ previously_on ] nikki : i killed j.t . and you need to know everything that happened . phyllis : this is about her not being able to keep her mouth shut . what i did does not compare to nikki telling your brother that she killed j.t . sharon : what ? ! arturo : [ gasps ] what are we doing ? mia : rey is everything i 've ever wanted . arturo : and he 's never gon na let you down . so the other night , we put it away , and we move on . last night , something changed . i see a future i want with the woman i love . billy : what the hell is going on here ? victoria : oh ! cane : i came here to ask you if i could borrow the jet 'cause i - i need to go and see lily today . i have to go right now , okay , so i can save my marriage . i just need the name of the inmate you 're visiting . billy : lily ashby . cane : hey . hey . mattie : hi . cane : uh , glad you 're home . can you hold down the fort for tonight for me ? mattie : sure . what 's the emergency ? cane : there 's no emergency . i just , uh -- you know , i want to go and see your mom , and i probably wo n't be back till morning , all right ? mattie : tonight ? you 're going there now ? cane : yeah . mattie : why ? what happened ? cane : nothing happened . you know , just all of a sudden started missing your mom like crazy , that 's all . mattie : uh - huh . i 'm not buying it . cane : [ scoffs ] mattie : come on , dad . you just suddenly started to miss her ? cane : sweetheart , she 's my wife , okay ? mattie : you 've been missing her for months , every day since she 's been gone , so what 's different about tonight ? cane : there 's nothing different . mattie : uh - huh . then what 's with the urgency ? cane : i -- look , i just -- i want to surprise her , okay ? i just feel like being spontaneous . billy : [ sighs ] abby : my favorite . you remembered ? arturo : how could i forget ? abby : [ gasps ] i love them . [ giggles ] wait , i thought you had to work late at dark horse ? arturo : i did , but i decided to take a little break . i could n't get you off my mind , so ... abby : yeah ? arturo : [ chuckles ] what are you doing ? abby : oh ... rey : my , my . arturo : what 's up , rey ? rey : sorry to interrupt . those are nice flowers . abby : thank you . rey : must be pretty special . arturo : mm . she 's one of a kind , man . [ abby giggles ] rey : well , take some advice from your older brother . when you find the right woman ... do n't let her go . [ cellphone rings ] phyllis . phyllis : hi . you got time for a chat ? sharon : depends . what do you want ? phyllis : i 'd like to discuss a potentially lucrative business opportunity with you . sharon : i think i 'll take a pass . phyllis : yeah , well , that would be a huge mistake . abby : i appreciate the kind words and the approval , but that does n't erase the fact that you arrested my father for something that he did n't do . rey : well , unless there 's evidence to the contrary , you and i are never going to see eye - to - eye on this . does n't mean we ca n't be cordial , all right ? abby : of course i can be friendly . but forgive me for smiling when i watch you eat your words . rey : you know something , abby ? i hope i do someday , because nobody should have a father with dirty hands . but at least he 's out on bail . abby : wait , he -- he 's what ? rey : you did n't know . abby : no , i am always the last to know everything in my family . arturo : i 'm sure they meant to call you . you know , nikki just wants him to herself . they 've been apart for a while . abby : right . yeah . i 'm gon na just call him and make sure that he 's okay . arturo : okay . yeah , i - i 'm gon na get back to work , so ... abby : all right . rey : uh , before you go ... we need to clear up a few things . oh ! oh ! additional sponsorship sharon : let 's make this quick . you need me to cater a board meeting or something ? i mean , we could have done that over the phone . phyllis : no . this is n't about coffee or pastry platters . sharon : then what was all that about a `` lucrative business opportunity `` ? phyllis : i needed to say something to get you up here without you spilling the tea to victoria or nikki . sharon : i do n't like the sound of this . phyllis : you ai n't heard nothing yet . and do n't even think about running to them to rat me out again . sharon : how could i do that ? you have yet to tell me why i 'm here . phyllis : because i 'm gauging your m.o . sharon : and you wanted to see me in person for that ? phyllis : wanted to , no . but this is a matter of necessity . sharon : that does n't include nikki or victoria why ? phyllis : because our little reality has changed since victor has been released . trusting them could land you in prison for the rest of your life . arturo : [ sighs ] rey : flowers , huh ? arturo : yeah . rey : you used to give me hell for giving women flowers . could n't quite figure it out . but then it hit me . that 's what dad used to do . give mom a big bouquet of flowers to cover up whatever he had going on the side . you hated those things . arturo : yeah , well ... fast - forward a couple years , you know how it is . your woman likes 'em , you buy 'em . rey : [ chuckles ] arturo : hey , whatever this is , man , do you think it can wait ? i - i have a lot of work waiting for me , so -- rey : no , no , this -- this is n't gon na take long . arturo : [ clears throat ] rey : i want you to know that i am happy for you and abby . she seems like a good woman . she 's smart . good head on her shoulders . hardworking . [ sighs ] and i -- [ sighs ] i just hope me leading this murder investigation does n't cause any static between you two . arturo : thanks , man . rey : you know , being a cop is probably a lot like being a father . you got to make sure everybody 's safe and happy . try to always do the right thing . but when it comes to your friends and family , you need to tread carefully , otherwise your relationships can start circling the drain . so even though i 'm grateful that you 're back in my life again , i 'll understand if you have to take a step back because of the investigation . arturo : wow , rey . um ... i - i do n't know what to say . rey : you just tell me what you need , and i 'll do whatever i can to make it happen . family first . right ? arturo : always . and , uh , you know , do n't worry about me and abby . nothing 's gon na break us up . we 're solid . rey : [ exhales softly ] i 'm glad to hear it . so , you thinking about settling down ? arturo : [ inhales sharply ] could be , man . rey : [ chuckles ] i never thought i 'd see the day . arturo : you and me both , bro . rey : you know , i guess when you grow up the way we did , with a father like we had , you can go one of two ways . you either do it right -- get married , you live and die by your vows -- or commitment 's the last thing on your mind . arturo : i wish like hell i could take it all back , man . what happened with mia last year -- rey : no , no , no . arturo : no . rey : arturo , we do n't have to hash that out . arturo : rey , it was messed up . all right ? and i know that now . and i 'm really sorry . rey : there was a time i -- i never ... thought i 'd speak to either one of you again . you broke my heart . arturo : i was being selfish and stupid , and i - i really was n't thinking . rey : well , the important thing is that we got through it . mia and i are stronger than ever . and i got my brother back . the rest is -- it 's in the past , never , ever to be repeated . arturo : you know , you were n't the only one who missed having a brother . rey : [ chuckles ] yeah ? after all that grief you gave me growing up ? arturo : [ chuckles ] i definitely did n't make it easy . arturo : [ laughing ] no , not at all . arturo : oh , man . you know , what you did when dad walked out on us , it took a lot of courage . you took care of us -- me , mom , and lola . you sacrificed a lot . rey : yeah . and you gave me hell every day . arturo : [ scoffs ] i do n't even want to imagine you not being there to keep me in line . for all the times that i was a pain in the butt and did n't give you the respect you deserved ... i 'm really sorry . i should have been a better brother , rey . rey : arturo , this is , uh ... this is more than expected . arturo : you were more of a father , more of a role model to me than dad ever was , so ... billy : [ sighs ] lily : billy !

'cause i love her . mia : i love rey . but for some reason , whenever you and i are alone in a room , all you want to do is get -- arturo : is get away from you . mia : [ laughs ] arturo : all i want to do is get away from you , mia . and you -- you need to work on keeping your marriage straight , and forget about the other night . like it or not , the only person in my future is abby . mia : who you trying to convince ? arturo : mia , if you know what 's good for you , you 'll drop this . mia : [ sighs happily ] aww . ohhh . abby : [ sighs ] mmph . mia : you just missed arturo . abby : but he left me something to remember him by . beautiful . are n't they ? mia : incredible , actually . well , not the flowers , but more so you two as a couple . of all the women he could have , he settled for you . sharon : i do n't respond well to threats of any kind , especially from you . phyllis : i am not a threat . it 's the newmans we need to worry about . sharon : i can comfortably say you are being paranoid . phyllis : i am being logical . sharon : then you ca n't hear yourself . phyllis : sharon , please . i need you to listen to me for one minute . sharon : what do you think i 've been doing ? phyllis : all right . 30 seconds . not even a minute . how 'bout that ? victor has been released on bail , which means the entire newman clan is gon na be closing ranks . and since victor could not care less what happens with us , we are the ones at risk . sharon : that does n't make any sense . phyllis : nikki just confessed to nick . how long do you think it 's gon na take for her to come clean with victor , all right ? if he has n't already figured this out himself . he has to prove his innocence . sharon : but nikki promised . phyllis : nikki was ready to confess to anything with a heartbeat for weeks . she was ready to spill her guts at j.t . 's memorial . i had to get up there and save us , for god 's sakes . sharon : with reed sitting front and center . not one of your best moments , phyllis . phyllis : okay . i apologized . but reed needed to face some ugly truths . and it 's time that you did the same . the entire newman family is gon na do everything they can to keep nikki out of prison . which includes pinning j.t . 's murder on us . abby : arturo is so sweet and attentive . i mean , he is up to his eyeballs in work , but he still brought me flowers . mia : aww . abby : mm - hmm . mia : that 's so sweet . you want my advice ? abby : as a matter of fact , no . mia : enjoy it while you can . okay ? the last thing arturo wants is to settle down . abby : he is a completely different person than who he was in miami . mia : you think so ? abby : i know so . mia : funny , because when he came over the other night to fix the heat and it was just the two of us ... it felt like old times . abby : when he was fixing what ? mia : oh , he did n't tell you ? oh , the -- the -- the night of the storm . yeah . i thought your boyfriend tells you everything ? it 's never good , abby , when your boyfriend starts keeping things from you . [ gasps ] oh , my god . maybe that 's why he got you flowers . abby : you know what , mia ? maybe you need to spend more time with your man and stop worrying about mine . mia : oh , i 'm not worried . but you should be . abby : do n't you have someone 's nose hairs to pluck ? mia : [ laughs ] mattie : just hear me out ! cane : okay , listen , i 'm honored you want to be part of this trip , okay , but -- mattie : let me help ! we 'll bring charlie along . mom will take one look at us , and she 'll remember how strong our family is . and i can bring her the essay i wrote for my college applications . i 'll read it to her in person . it 's all about her , how much she means to me . and she 'll remember who she is again , and we 'll cry a little , and we 'll promise to be better moving forward . because that 's how we 're gon na make it through this . not by keeping secrets , shutting each other out , but by doing this together . cane : listen , i know , and i love that you want to be part of this , but i have to go and do this alone , okay ? mattie : it 's that bad , huh ? oh , my god . is it worse than bad ? you know what ? no . do n't answer that . for the first time in a long time , i actually want to be kept in the dark . but whatever it is , you need to fix it , dad . cane : i 'm trying , baby . mattie : do n't come back until it 's better , okay ? give her my love . cane : i will . mattie : and remind her that we 'll see her really soon . cane : you can consider that done . mattie : and promise me that everything 's gon na be okay . cane : [ sighs ] i promise you , baby . i love you . okay ? i love you . mattie : i love you , too . cane : i love you , baby . lily : fen baldwin ... billy : [ chuckles ] lily : ... is a pop star ? billy : pop star in training , believe it or not . lily : [ chuckles ] i thought he was gon na be a hotshot lawyer like his dad . billy : yeah , well , the best laid plans of mike and fen sometimes go astray . lily : i suppose . billy : are you worried that mattie 's gon na shift gears and join the circus ? lily : no . no , no , no . if she 's happy walking the high wire , then i 'm happy , too . but there 's something else i want to know . billy : okay . anything . lily : why you got the sudden urge to hop on a jet and come here . billy : you should be giving me crap for not coming sooner , right ? we 're friends . i - i -- i care about you . lily : you have really lost your touch for lying . that 's bad . billy : what are you saying ? we 're not friends ? is that what you 're saying ? lily : no , we 're friends . but friends should be honest with each other . if there 's something going on , just tell me . i mean , is it something at home ? just please be honest with me . i mean , what are n't you telling me ? sometimes , bipolar i disorder `` the young and the restless `` will continue . arturo : whoa ! whoa . hey , why are you so upset , babe ? i mean , is it your dad ? abby : mia . arturo : what did she do now ? abby : i ran into her at crimson lights . she made some pretty disgusting insinuations about what happened when you went over to fix the heat ? arturo : look , i knew i should have told you about that -- abby : no , she made it seem like something salacious went down when all you were doing was a good deed . i mean , that girl will stop at nothing . she made it seem like you were keeping this secret from me , which , clearly , you weren't . arturo : i mean , i - i did n't think it was that important -- abby : i mean , who cares if you fixed a furnace ? okay ? you fix a hundred things every single day . i do n't need every detail . [ sighs ] arturo : i 'm sorry . abby : no , you do n't need to apologize . mia , on the other hand ... arturo : yeah , she really just does n't know when to stop . abby : has she always been this way ? arturo : pretty much , yeah . like my mom always said -- bumblebees and mosquitos . abby : oh . arturo : they 're always real busy , but only one of them 's up to any good . abby : well , she is definitely a mosquito . arturo : [ sighs ] just do what i do -- ignore her . abby : she said that , uh , you being there felt like old times . can you believe that ? arturo : babe , how could it be like old times ? i 'm yours . i mean , the past , it 's a dead issue . you are my future . you 're my everything . abby : [ sighs ] sharon : you might have a point . you never know what victor will do when his back 's against a wall . phyllis : he was ready to flee the country with nikki to stay safe . sharon : and i ca n't count on her to keep us out of this . there 's no love lost between me and my former mother - in - law . phyllis : nothing 's stopping her from throwing us under the bus . sharon : she 's only implicated herself and victoria , though , right ? phyllis : we 're talking about a woman who recently fell off the wagon . she 's living with m.s . she has a daughter who almost died at the hands of an abusive husband . how much more is it gon na take for her to tell the whole story ? you think her family 's gon na believe her when she tells them that they came up with the plan , her and victoria , to take j.t . 's body and remove it on their own ? sharon : but nick would never let the mother of his children be set up like that . phyllis : since when has victor given his family a vote ? you know him . first hint of danger , he 's gon na pull up that drawbridge , and he 's gon na let us flounder in the moat . and then what does nick do ? turn in his mother ? we need to protect ourselves as a team . like it or not , we are each other 's best hope right now . lily : is it my kids ? i mean , are -- are charlie and mattie okay ? billy : no , no . the kids are fine . i saw them a few days ago . besides you being in here , they 're -- they 're great . lily : okay , then who ? my dad ? billy : he 's -- he 's fine as far as i know . lily : devon . billy : you know devon . he 's busy as ever . lily : cane ? [ sighs ] oh , god . i knew it . billy : [ sighs ] lily : i knew it . i knew it . [ sighs ] he was here a couple of days ago , and ... everything went lopsided . you know , and it 's my fault , because i -- i had this class to teach , and i - i would n't spend time with him , and it did n't end well , and i just -- i 've been kicking myself ever since . billy : lily , you ca n't blame yourself , okay ? lily : no , look , i know that you 're not his biggest fan . i know that . but he 's really , really stepped it up . he 's taking care of the kids . and knowing that he 's out there , and he 's loving me and missing me as much as i 'm missing him , it -- it gets me through every hellish day in here . okay , billy , something is going on . i can see it in your eyes . i mean , if it was important enough to fly here , then it 's important enough to tell me . so just tell me the truth . i mean , do n't be one of those people trying to protect me from it . billy : lily , i -- lily : billy , you 're scaring me . what ? what is it ? billy : i should n't have come here , okay ? lily : no . billy : i 'm sorry . this is just a -- lily : no . it is never a mistake to tell the truth . trust me , i 've learned that the hard way . so what is it ? what happened ? just -- just tell me . just be honest with me . billy : cane and ... victoria . lily : cane and victoria what ? billy : i walked in on them kissing on the couch like a couple teenagers . we do whatever it takes to fight cancer . sharon : let 's think about our options here first . phyllis : we have no options . sharon : kind of ironic , do n't you think , you having to come to me for help and not nick ? if nick and i were still together , he would have told me the truth about nikki 's confession right away . but with you , the trust just is n't there , is it ? hardly the basis for a strong , committed relationship . phyllis : there are bigger things to worry about right now . are you gon na continue to put your trust in the newmans ? sharon : i 'll never trust victor again . but i did see nick and victoria 's cars at the ranch earlier today . phyllis : so you 're telling me that nick is welcoming home his father that he detests ? they 're circling the wagons . it 's time to act now . lily : there 's no way you saw what you think you saw . billy : no , you 're right . i do n't -- i do n't know what i was thinking . i 'm sorry . lily : no . stop . tell me again . cane and ... ? billy : victoria . lily : and you walked into her house ? billy : i walked in , and i saw them kissing on the couch , hands all over each other . lily : they hate each other . billy : that 's exactly what i thought . lily : [ sighs ] i have been locked in here . he 's been telling me that everything is fine . and this whole time he 's been cheating on me with victoria ? billy : no , as far as victoria says , it has n't gone beyond kissing . lily : so then it was a drunken mistake , like when he slept with juliet . billy : no . he was stone - cold sober . victoria did say that it was n't the first time that they ... locked lips . lily : so if you had n't walked in when you did ... billy : i do n't know . lily : [ inhales sharply ] oh , i feel like i 'm gon na be sick . billy : just take it easy , okay ? just try and breathe . lily : how could he do that ? why would he do that ? billy : i do n't know . trust me , i - i -- i do n't know . lily : [ sighs ] billy : i mean , victoria and i have been spending a lot of time together , too , and -- and it was only yesterday she told me that she loved me , and i thought for a second that we were gon na get back on track , and i -- lily : i feel like there 's this volcano raging inside of me , and i ca n't do anything to let it out . billy : okay , take it easy , all right ? do not let this destroy you . you hear me ? lily : no , i can't . because they 'll add time to my sentence , and they 'll take away my privileges and the class i 'm teaching . so i have to be the model prisoner . billy : i should n't have come here . lily : no . billy : [ sighs ] lily : you did the right thing . i have a right to know . so thank you for telling me . billy : you gon na be okay ? lily : [ inhales ] you know , when i was on the outside , this would have broken me . but in here , you have to be tough as nails . because it 's all about survival . billy : what are you gon na do now that you know ? lily : i 'm gon na survive this . by any means necessary . arturo : where 's rey ? mia : work . arturo : talking to abby , mia ? seriously ? you wanted trouble , you found it . mia : well , i did n't expect her to go running to you in a panic . arturo : [ stammering ] what do i need to do to keep you out of my relationship , huh ? mia : all i told her was that when you came over , it felt like old times . it was just chitchat . what , does she not have a sense of humor or is she that insecure ? arturo : why do you keep doing this to me ? mia : because i am trying to protect you from lady fancypants , okay , mijo ? she 's gon na throw you away when she gets bored of you ! she sees you as some kind of novelty item to her snooty friends , okay ? the boyfriend from the wrong side of the tracks . arturo : that is not true . mia : what you and me had ... you feel that with abby ? be real with yourself . because if you do n't , you are making the mistake of a lifetime . arturo : mia , you are my mistake . not abby . you . mia : then why 'd you come over here ? arturo : what ? i just told you ! mia : you could have told me by text . e - mail . but no . that was n't good enough . not close enough . you wanted to know whether or not what you feel with me is real when we 're inches apart . it 's real , arturo . and it always will be . you said it yourself -- there is always gon na be this something between us . how did we test our dixie ultra plates ? arturo : mia , if you keep threatening my relationship with abby , i 'll come clean to rey about everything . mia : you 'd never do that . arturo : give me one good reason . mia : because we both know , this time , you 'd lose him forever . [ lock clicks ] mia : hi ! hi . rey : hey . i did n't expect to see you here . arturo : rey , we got to talk about something . something i should have told you before . rey : okay . what is it ? mia : uh , uh , he keeps going on and on about keeping this furnace maintained , you know . one wrong move , and we 're up for a cold spell around here again . um , but , um , i 've been wanting to ask you something . um ... come here , baby . rey : okay . shoot . mia : uh ... i 'm so nervous . i do n't even know how to do this . rey : whatever it is , just say it . it 's okay . mia : [ giggles ] [ sighs ] when we got married , it was a crazy day . [ chuckles ] um , you know , i was thinking about the wrong things , i wanted everything to be perfect . i was focused on everything else when i should have been focused on the man i was about to marry , and this new life that we were gon na start . i made some promises . and , god forgive me , i broke them . but i 've changed . because i 'm not the woman i was then . [ sighs ] because now i know that you are the most important thing in the world to me . okay ? i 've never loved anyone the way i love you . you 're the love of my life . [ sighs ] and i want to make new promises . promises that i wo n't ever break . i want to prove to everyone that you are the only one that matters to me . no more broken trust . no more empty promises . i want to show you , and everyone in our lives , that you are the most important thing in the world to me , and that ... [ voice breaking ] nothing can tear us apart . rey ... will you marry me ? again ? [ chuckles ] rey : nothing would make me happier . mia : [ exclaims ] phyllis : i 'm very happy that you 're starting to see things my way . & sharon : i did n't say that . phyllis : i really hope you 're joking right now . sharon : i do n't know what you heard , phyllis . phyllis : uh , `` i will never trust victor again . `` did those words just not come out of your mouth ? sharon : yes . but i did n't say anything about victoria and nikki . phyllis : i can not emphasize this strongly enough -- putting our personal differences aside and forming an alliance is the only way out of this . sharon : there is no real proof that the newmans are conspiring against us . phyllis : we may not have any proof yet , but are you willing to wait and see ? sharon : yes . because i may not trust victor , but there 's one person i trust even less than him -- you . phyllis : sharon , i am trying to help you here . sharon : you would double - cross me in a heartbeat if it meant saving your own skin . so thanks , but no thanks . i 'll take my chances on my own . cane : [ sighs ] [ sighs , sniffles ] visiting hours ended a half hour ago . cane : i know , but this is an emergency , all right ? i need to see my wife . her name is lily ashby . sorry . she ca n't have any more visitors today . cane : wait , wait , wait , wait . w - what do you mean visitors ? she has n't had any visitors . you must be mistaken . no , there was someone . a mr . billy abbott .Summarize.[/INST]cane tells maddie he is going to visit lily . maddie presses him as to why he is going tonight and does n't buy his excuses . she questions his urgency in visiting , all while billy is at the prison waiting for visitation with lily . at the coffee house arturo presents abbey with flowers . she is impressed and they kiss . later , rey arrives and notices the flowers and comments that once you find the right woman not to let her go , as sharon looks on . sharon then gets a phone call from phyllis and goes into the back room . abbey reminds rey that he arrested her father but she agrees to be cordial . abbey then gets upset when rey mentions victor is out on bail , as she is always the last to know . later , sharon arrives at jabot to meet phyllis who summoned her under false pretenses . phyllis tries to convince sharon that they are on their own and that the newman 's will only look after themselves . sharon touts that at least nick would have confided in her about the murder if they were together and she tells phyllis she wants no part of any plan with her . back at the coffee house rey and arturo chat and rey reminisces how their father would bring their mother flowers when he did something wrong as arturo looks a bit uncomfortable . rey goes on to talk about the importance and trust of family and how he would understand if arturo needs to take a step back because of the investigation . arturo , relieved that rey was n't referring to mia , tells him that he and abbey are solid . arturo tells rey he was more of a role model to him than their father ever was . a shocked rey just stares at arturo before standing up and giving him a heartfelt hug . mia enters and questions what is going on . after rey leaves for the station , mia taunts arturo about his feeling guilty about the other night , and insists arturo has it bad for his sister in law . arturo insists his future is with abbey to which mia just laughs . after arturo leaves mia walks over to the flowers . abbey intervenes and grabs her flowers back . mia fills abbey in on the other night when arturo fixed her furnace and taunts abbey because arturo did n't mention it to her . mia tries to get under abbey 's skin which clearly works . a frustrated abbey asks mia ‘do n't you have someone 's nose hairs to pluck ?

[ somber music ] eli : because i love you ... and i know that we can give a child a really great home . lani : you probably think i 'm being irrational . eli : no , i don't . lani , i know it 's taking a big risk , and i know that you opening up your heart to another child is a giant leap of faith , but i 'm willing to -- i 'm willing to -- to take that leap of faith with you . lani : i understand that . and i know that losing david was really devastating for you too . but he was n't inside of you , eli . he was n't a part of you . you did n't get to feel him . you do n't know what this feels like . eli : yeah , you 're right , and i would never pretend to . but does this mean that you would never wan na have a kid with me ? will : how crazy is this ? like , we both decide we wan na have a baby at the same time . sonny : be a lot less crazy than what we 've been through the past few years . will : so what ? are we ready to settle down , then , become boring suburbanites and , like , shuttle the kids back and forth from soccer to ballet ? sonny : um , i mean , i can live with that . i just think we need to talk about how we 're gon na go about having a kid . will : yeah , what do you think , adoption ? sonny : i mean , my family , they had a good experience with vic and joey . my parents gave them a home , and they fit right in , so ... will : yeah . i mean , adoption is an amazing gift for everyone , but , you know , sometimes it can get a little complicated . like , look at what 's happening with rafe and david . zoey : i feel horrible about what happened , and i 'm just -- i 'm so glad that you were n't hurt . rafe : mm . me too . what are you doing here ? zoey : i wanted to apologize . i hated lying to you , and if you would have been killed when that gun went off , i would n't be able to live with myself . rafe : yeah , well , i know you did n't mean for the gun to go off . so let 's just , uh , try and put it behind us ... zoey : yeah . rafe : along with this custody battle with david . zoey : um , i think there 's a misunderstanding . i 'm still suing for custody of my nephew . i intend to win . rafe : hmm . steve : [ sighs ] hope : hey . i was just picking up some dinner for us . steve : oh , did n't wan na take another stab at cooking , huh ? hope : [ laughs ] do you really want me to ? seriously ? we just escaped that fiasco with our lives . i say , why push our luck now ? steve : good thinking . hope : sit down , steve . buy you a beer while we wait . steve : yeah , i could use one on a day like today . hope : does that mean things did n't go so well when you talked to kay ? steve : i did n't really get a chance to talk to her . got interrupted , kayla rushed out . when i went to find her , to finish our conversation , justin was in the middle of proposing to her . hope : pro ... posing ? as in marriage ? steve : as in down on one knee with a ring . hope : did -- did she say `` yes `` ? did you see him put the ring on her finger ? was she crying ? was he crying ? steve : i was n't gon na hang around and torture myself . i went back to kayla 's office , wrote her a note , and i got the hell out of there . hope : what was in the note ? steve : i just told 'em i was happy for 'em both . what else could i say at this point ? hope : well , how about the truth , steve ? steve : truth is , i got there too late . hope : you do n't know that . she could have said `` no . `` steve : why would she ? she loves him . what ? what 's with the look ? hope : she loves you . she loves you , steve . kayla : justin , i do n't -- i do n't think that either one of us take the idea of marriage lightly . i think that both of us thought that our previous relationships would be the last , and i know that neither one of us think that a decision this monumental should be taken impulsively . justin : i 'm not . kayla : but where is this coming from , then ? justin : what do you mean ? i love you . earlier today , i , um ... kayla : what ? justin : i went to visit adrienne 's grave , and i asked her for a sign , a sign that she was okay with me asking you to be my wife . kayla : justin -- justin : and a second later , sonny showed up , and he gave me his blessing because he knows how happy you make me . and i know that i make you happy too . kayla : of course you do . justin : we have endured so much heartache . it 's what brought us together in the first place , and we helped each other through that . but joy ... joy . joy is what i want in my life right now . it 's what sonny wants for me and what adrienne would want for me , and most importantly , it 's what i want for you . so i guess the only question left is , what do you want ? the thing with depression , you get ... stuck . kate : so what does that mean , that it 's not my job -- not my job to make you look good ? does that mean that you 're firing me ? abe : [ laughs ] no . no . i am setting clear expectations , which i should have done when i took the considerable risk of hiring you in the first place . kate : okay , look . abe , i know that all of the sane people told you that i would stab you in the back in the end . abe : kate , i know that you 're used to being the boss and giving orders , but this job , it 's important that you learn to follow them . kate : i understand that . abe : i 'm not sure you do . kate : [ scoffs ] [ laughs ] need i remind you that i spent the last year working as a waitress at the pub ? i literally took orders from people for a living . abe : well , then it seems like you have a problem taking them from me , and if you think that problem 's going to continue , then maybe we should part ways . rafe : after everything that you have done , you 're still suing me for custody ? oh , i -- i get it . it 's 'cause you ca n't be with your own kid , so you 're going after mine . zoey : you have n't adopted him yet . rafe : i will . zoey : well , he is my flesh and blood , my family . rafe : you do n't even know him . you -- i have raised him for over a year , which was his mother 's wish , who is no longer with us because of your brother . zoey : you know , we do n't have to be adversarial . we -- we both love david . if i get custody of him , i 'll let you see him . rafe : `` see him `` ? will you ? oh , really ? you 're gon na let me `` see him `` ? zoey : look , do you wan na try and work this out , or do you wan na take it to court ? because if you do , i guarantee you , you 'll lose . rafe : mm . sonny : rafe 's situation with david 's pretty unusual . will : you mean , the fact that one biological parent got arrested for murdering the other ? sonny : it 's like the worst - case scenario . if we do adopt , i 'm sure we 're not gon na have to go through a nightmare like that , okay ? will : yeah . of course , we , you know -- we could always try to have a baby of our own . sonny : surrogacy ? will : yeah . i mean , we 'd have to find an egg donor and a gestational carrier . sonny : and then we have to decide which one of us is gon na be the biological father . eli : wait , is the idea of you losing another child so terrifying that you would never wan na try again ? lani : i do n't know . maybe i would wan na adopt . there 's so many children out there who need homes . eli : adopt . lani : i guess we should have talked about this before now . eli : i guess so . lani : eli , if not having a biological child is a deal breaker for you , i understand . and if it 's that important to you , then ... we probably should n't get married . eli : lani , i have been waiting years to marry you . in some ways , i 've been waiting my entire life . lani : but you 've also been waiting to have a child . and eli , i do n't know if can give that to you . so if you have to move on , or -- eli : wait , wait , wait , wait -- hey , hey . stop . when it comes to you and me , there is no such thing as a `` deal breaker . `` lani : but if you wan na have a baby ... eli : yes ... okay , i would be thrilled to have a baby with you because i think it would make our love even stronger . but if you do n't wan na go through with this pregnancy , it 's your choice . lani : and you would support me ? eli : if that 's the decision you make ... then yes . i 'll support you 100 % . will : you should be the bio dad . sonny : why me ? will : well , because , you know , i already have a biological child , and plus , i would not be mad if our kid had your smile . sonny : well , patrick and damian at the gym actually mixed their sperm together before ivf . this way , they would n't know who the biological father was . will : well , i mean , except the kid had red hair and freckles , so it was pretty obvious that damian was the father . yeah . sonny : well , you knows ? i mean , what -- maybe we -- maybe we 'll have twins . i just -- i -- i just want to leave it up to fate . will : well , all i care about is providing a loving home for our kid , and of course i 'm biased but i think no family has more love to share than ours . kayla : um , i know it 's been tough on us since steve -- the real steve came back . but i have told you over and over again that i love you . justin : sweetheart , if you 're not ready , you do n't need to answer me right now . i know it 's sudden , and i do n't wan na rush you . so i 'll wait ... as long as it takes . you 're worth it . hope : i 've known kayla my whole adult life , and when you pushed her away , she was shocked , steve , humiliated , and she was angry , and she had every right to be . steve : you 're saying she went to justin to get over me ? hope : deep down in her heart , i know that she still loves you , and that is why you ca n't give up on her . steve : but still , it 's her decision , not mine . hope : oh , my gosh , steven ! still ? yet again , you are still trying to make the decision for her . we decided -- you decided ... kay deserves the chance , the opportunity to make her own decision . steve : i 'm sure by now , she has . hope : oh , but she does n't have all the facts . when justin proposed to her , she did n't know how you felt . steve : well , she knows how she feels . hope : wow . you 're tough . loving justin and committing to marriage , they 're two completely different things . and the kayla that i know would never give her whole heart to another man when a huge part of it still belongs to you . when our daughter and her kids moved in with us ... kate : abe . i know you enjoy the trappings of being mayor . abe : the trappings ? kate : yeah , you know , the best places to park , $ 500 shoes , the custom suits . i mean , come on . it 's all a power trip , right ? abe : you know , actually , i 'm trying to make a difference in this town . kate : well , you and i are going to be out of a job after the next election if you do n't do what 's necessary to rehabilitate your image . abe : my image is fine . kate : yeah ? really ? would you like to see the latest polls ? because you are down . you are under 40 % . that 's somewhere between damp socks and salmonella . abe : you know , polls are fickle . kate : face it -- your popularity is in the toilet . i mean , this demands drastic measures . abe : this will take care of itself . kate : it 's not going to take care of itself . abe , honestly , i mean , can you honestly tell me that there 's anything wrong with you basking in the reflected glory of steve and hope 's actions ? i mean , what 's the downside of that ? abe : the downside ? giving the keys of the city to a woman who pushed her cousin off of a rooftop ? and to a -- to a man who kidnapped his own wife ? kate : everyone knows that they were n't in control of their actions . abe : you sure about that ? kate : oh , yeah , i 'm sure of it . you 're sure of it . you 're just being stubborn . abe : [ laughs ] i 'm being stubborn ? kate : uh - huh , uh - huh . you wan na see ? because 67 % of your electorate think that . now i know why sheila quit . abe : you offering to resign ? kate : hell no , because i 'm not a quitter . but i 'll tell you what . i mean , if you really object to honoring steve and hope , that 's fine . i 'll just call it off , you know , and you can sit back , and you can watch your numbers go : whoo ... [ imitates explosion ] eli : baby , if your mind is made up that you do n't wan na have this child ... then i 'll support you . lani : [ sighs ] i have n't even had time to process it . i just know how i felt when i saw that test . eli : you 're allowed to have doubts . i mean , we all -- we all do . lani : yeah , but these were more than doubts . eli : i know , but you got -- you have time . and whatever you decide , i 'll be there for you . lani : thank you . and know that i would never make this decision lightly . i know that there are so many people out there dying to have a child , and they can't . will : you know what ? if you want , i can call kayla right now and get some recommendations for fertility clinics . sonny : well , i mean , maybe we 're getting just a little ahead of ourselves . will : oh . are we moving too fast ? sonny : no , i was just thinking about ari . given what gabi 's going through right now , i do n't know if ari 's gon na be open to having another sibling . i mean , we have n't even told her that gabi was arrested . will : [ sighs ] well , you know , a couple years ago , ari was all about being a big sister ... remember ? sonny : yeah . will : she was upset that gabi could n't have more kids . sonny : i know , but a lot has changed . i think ari likes being the center of our universe . will : well , i think it would be good for her if she were a little bit less the center of everyone 's universe . but the point is , i think ari would be so excited about being a big sister , but you 're right . that 's a long ways off , and we do n't wan na get her hopes up before , you know , we 're sure it 's gon na happen . sonny : agreed . because whether we go the route of adoption or surrogacy , it 's gon na be a -- a long road . will : oh , yeah , totally . i mean , there 's gon na be a lot of decisions that we have to make along the way , but ... sonny : but the most important decision has already been made . we are having a baby together . rafe : i ca n't believe you think you 're gon na win custody of david . zoey : you know , you better start believing . rafe : mm , if you persist in bringing this case , you leave me no choice but to use everything i have against you . zoey : and what does that mean ? rafe : well , for starters , you already have a kid that you ca n't look after . zoey : that is not true . rafe : oh , is n't it ? and i 'm sure that the judge would be interested in knowing that you were an accessory to a kidnapping , that you pulled a gun on me , and that you almost killed a cop . zoey : you know that that was -- rafe : facts are facts . it does n't matter if you were looking for your son or not . i 'll tell ya , shooting a cop is not a good look in court . zoey : well , i know my way around a courtroom . rafe : mm , well , then you should know you 're gon na lose . and if you do n't stop now , you 're gon na leave me no choice but to tear you apart . back off ! abe : i am not going to renege on the promise you made . it will only make me seem weak . kate : weaker . abe : solid and dependable ... that 's part of my brand , right ? 71 % . kate : oh , my god , you actually read my research . abe : all 273 pages . kate : oh , well , you should have seen the first draft . abe : look , kate , you should know that i care a lot more about policy than pr , but i will admit that your idea about honoring hope and steve is not without merit . kate : `` not without merit `` ? that 's such a glowing compliment . abe : just do n't do anything like that again . kate : yes , sir , mr . mayor . your wish is my command . zoey : i would n't be so cocky if i were you . your background is n't exactly squeaky - clean either . rafe : well , i 'd put mine up against yours any day . zoey : was n't your sister just arrested ? and your father , he 's a criminal too , if i 'm not mistaken . and what about your brother ? rafe : not involved in this . zoey : hmm , we 'll see . what i do know is , judges almost always rule in favor of a biological relative , and the wishes of david 's only living parent are a huge consideration . rafe : yeah , well , it just so happens his parent is in prison . i 'm the only father that david 's ever known . you do n't stand a chance in hell . zoey : i guess we 'll find out in court , wo n't we ? eli : if i never have a biological baby of my own , it 's okay . a baby is a blessing , and to raise a child with you would be a dream come true , but ... i do n't wan na sway you . whatever decision you make , i want it to be your choice ... and i will be with you no matter what . lani : eli ... [ sighs ] eli : i 'm sorry . did i say something wrong ? lani : no , no . you are being ... so wonderful . and i just ... [ gasps ] i love you so much . eli : come here . come here . [ melancholy music ] i do n't want you to cry . everything 's gon na be okay . lani : [ sighs ] i 'm crying because as scared as i am -- and i 'm scared -- i know deep down in my heart that ... i wan na have this baby with you . there 's nothing more that i want . eli : really ? lani : yes . yeah , really . i do . i -- i want this baby . i do .

[ dramatic music ] male announcer : like sands through the hourglass , so are the `` days of our lives . `` [ soft orchestration ] eli : lani , i did some research . the odds of you having placenta previa on your second child are like 2 % . lani : we do n't even know if that 's why i went into early labor the first time . eli : okay , then -- then let 's go down to the hospital . we 'll talk to kayla , get more information , statistics and -- lani : no , eli . no , they do n't know . it does n't matter about the stats . okay ? there is no way for them to possibly know what could happen , and there are so many things that can go wrong with the pregnancy . eli : and what about everything that can go right , like having a healthy , happy baby ? lani : i ca n't even think about that because if i have to ... if i have to go through losing a child again , eli , it will kill me . sonny : you thought i was gon na say i wanted to have another kid ? will : uh , well , yeah . i mean , last year , before the car accident , we talked about growing our family , and i was just telling my grandma that i feel like now we 're finally back to the place that we were then . sonny : yeah , and i -- i feel -- i feel that way too . will : yeah , so i guess when you said life was short , i just assumed that that 's what you 're talking about , but clearly , i -- i made a leap . sonny : well , actually , that 's exactly what i was gon na say . will : seriously ? sonny : seriously . let 's have a baby . rafe : you wan na thank me ? for what ? hope : i decided to take your advice and try to forgive myself ... for the horrible things that i did as princess gina . rafe : good . good . i 'm , uh , glad to hear that . huh , i guess i have more power than i thought . [ both laugh ] hope : well , to be honest with you , uh , when i saw julie and ciara after we spoke , they said the same exact thing . rafe : oh , so it was n't just me ? hope : mostly you . rafe : really ? it 's all right . you know what , i am happy either way . it 's time . it 's time for you to move on with your life , right ? hope : yeah . rafe : yeah . hope : i 'm gon na do my best . rafe : good . hope : i really am . hey , um , last night , uh , working together to go after zoey and find david and john , it 's ... it was the first time in forever i -- i truly felt like myself . rafe : yeah . yeah . thank you , again , by the way . but , um ... yeah , i know , uh ... i know how you feel . hope : well , i -- i 'll -- rafe : zoey ? zoey : the door was unlocked . sorry to interrupt . rafe : what are you doing here ? [ suspenseful music ] kayla : it 's beautiful . i -- i do n't know what to say . do you think that maybe we could just go talk somewhere privately ? justin : sure . i wanted more from my copd medicine , [ suspenseful music ] kate : so you do n't think that steve and hope deserve recognition for their actions ? abe : that 's not what i 'm saying . kate : okay , so what exactly are you saying ? abe : what i 'm saying is that you -- well , it 's not your place to make the offer . you do n't speak for me . in fact , you do n't do anything that i have n't first approved . kate : okay , abe . i 'm trying to help you . abe : are you ? or are you trying to assuage your guilt over not helping hope and steve because you knew they were being brainwashed ? kate : [ scoffs ] trust me , guilt does n't have anything to do with this . abe : does it ? kate : no , it does n't , and frankly , i expected a little gratitude . i mean , in light of how bad your pr has been lately , i thought it was a perfect opportunity to showcase a crime in salem that 's actually getting solved for a change , where the correct felon is being brought to justice . abe : so this is about making me look good ? kate : of course it is . it 's my job , abe . abe : no , actually , it 's not . hope : i 'm glad to see you did n't run . zoey : i told you i was n't going anywhere . rafe : you took off last night . zoey : to find my son . thank you , hope , for letting me go to him . hope : how is he ? zoey : he 's fine , thank god . he was a little shaken up , but he does n't really understand everything that happened . hope : i 'm so glad you got him back safe and sound . zoey : i appreciate that . would you mind if i spoke to rafe privately ? hope : [ laughs ] um , i do n't know if that 's such a good idea . last time you were with him , you held us both at gunpoint and hit him with a bullet . zoey : that was an accident . hope : he 's still lucky to be alive . rafe : it 's okay . i can handle it . hope : i know . okay , all right . bye . rafe : thank you . zoey : she 's very protective of you . rafe : give me one good reason why i should n't arrest you right now . kayla : i 'm sorry , but you know how the hospital gossip mill is , and i just felt uncomfortable having a moment like that right in the middle of the nurses ' station , you know . justin : right , well , i should have picked a more romantic spot to get down on my knee and propose anyway . i was just so eager , and , um ... steve : dear , kayla , i just wanted to tell you i 'm glad everything worked out the way it did and that you and justin are happy . love , steve . justin : kayla . what is it ? kayla : um , nothing important . i 'm sorry . what -- what were you saying ? justin : well , i guess it 's not a great sign that you did n't wan na answer me out there . is that why you brought me inside , to spare me the humiliation of publicly rejecting my proposal ? these are real people , not actors , lani : you really wan na have this baby ? [ somber music ] eli : because i love you ... and i know that we can give a child a really great home . lani : you probably think i 'm being irrational . eli : no , i don't . lani , i know it 's taking a big risk , and i know that you opening up your heart to another child is a giant leap of faith , but i 'm willing to -- i 'm willing to -- to take that leap of faith with you . lani : i understand that . and i know that losing david was really devastating for you too . but he was n't inside of you , eli . he was n't a part of you . you did n't get to feel him . you do n't know what this feels like . eli : yeah , you 're right , and i would never pretend to . but does this mean that you would never wan na have a kid with me ? will : how crazy is this ? like , we both decide we wan na have a baby at the same time . sonny : be a lot less crazy than what we 've been through the past few years . will : so what ? are we ready to settle down , then , become boring suburbanites and , like , shuttle the kids back and forth from soccer to ballet ? sonny : um , i mean , i can live with that . i just think we need to talk about how we 're gon na go about having a kid . will : yeah , what do you think , adoption ? sonny : i mean , my family , they had a good experience with vic and joey . my parents gave them a home , and they fit right in , so ... will : yeah . i mean , adoption is an amazing gift for everyone , but , you know , sometimes it can get a little complicated . like , look at what 's happening with rafe and david . zoey : i feel horrible about what happened , and i 'm just -- i 'm so glad that you were n't hurt . rafe : mm . me too . what are you doing here ? zoey : i wanted to apologize . i hated lying to you , and if you would have been killed when that gun went off , i would n't be able to live with myself . rafe : yeah , well , i know you did n't mean for the gun to go off . so let 's just , uh , try and put it behind us ... zoey : yeah . rafe : along with this custody battle with david . zoey : um , i think there 's a misunderstanding . i 'm still suing for custody of my nephew . i intend to win . rafe : hmm . steve : [ sighs ] hope : hey . i was just picking up some dinner for us . steve : oh , did n't wan na take another stab at cooking , huh ? hope : [ laughs ] do you really want me to ? seriously ? we just escaped that fiasco with our lives . i say , why push our luck now ? steve : good thinking . hope : sit down , steve . buy you a beer while we wait . steve : yeah , i could use one on a day like today . hope : does that mean things did n't go so well when you talked to kay ? steve : i did n't really get a chance to talk to her . got interrupted , kayla rushed out . when i went to find her , to finish our conversation , justin was in the middle of proposing to her . hope : pro ... posing ? as in marriage ? steve : as in down on one knee with a ring . hope : did -- did she say `` yes `` ? did you see him put the ring on her finger ? was she crying ? was he crying ? steve : i was n't gon na hang around and torture myself . i went back to kayla 's office , wrote her a note , and i got the hell out of there . hope : what was in the note ? steve : i just told 'em i was happy for 'em both . what else could i say at this point ? hope : well , how about the truth , steve ? steve : truth is , i got there too late . hope : you do n't know that . she could have said `` no . `` steve : why would she ? she loves him . what ? what 's with the look ? hope : she loves you . she loves you , steve . kayla : justin , i do n't -- i do n't think that either one of us take the idea of marriage lightly . i think that both of us thought that our previous relationships would be the last , and i know that neither one of us think that a decision this monumental should be taken impulsively . justin : i 'm not . kayla : but where is this coming from , then ? justin : what do you mean ? i love you . earlier today , i , um ... kayla : what ? justin : i went to visit adrienne 's grave , and i asked her for a sign , a sign that she was okay with me asking you to be my wife . kayla : justin -- justin : and a second later , sonny showed up , and he gave me his blessing because he knows how happy you make me . and i know that i make you happy too . kayla : of course you do . justin : we have endured so much heartache . it 's what brought us together in the first place , and we helped each other through that . but joy ... joy . joy is what i want in my life right now . it 's what sonny wants for me and what adrienne would want for me , and most importantly , it 's what i want for you . so i guess the only question left is , what do you want ? the thing with depression , you get ... stuck . kate : so what does that mean , that it 's not my job -- not my job to make you look good ? does that mean that you 're firing me ? abe : [ laughs ] no . no . i am setting clear expectations , which i should have done when i took the considerable risk of hiring you in the first place . kate : okay , look . abe , i know that all of the sane people told you that i would stab you in the back in the end . abe : kate , i know that you 're used to being the boss and giving orders , but this job , it 's important that you learn to follow them . kate : i understand that . abe : i 'm not sure you do . kate : [ scoffs ] [ laughs ] need i remind you that i spent the last year working as a waitress at the pub ? i literally took orders from people for a living . abe : well , then it seems like you have a problem taking them from me , and if you think that problem 's going to continue , then maybe we should part ways . rafe : after everything that you have done , you 're still suing me for custody ? oh , i -- i get it . it 's 'cause you ca n't be with your own kid , so you 're going after mine . zoey : you have n't adopted him yet . rafe : i will . zoey : well , he is my flesh and blood , my family . rafe : you do n't even know him . you -- i have raised him for over a year , which was his mother 's wish , who is no longer with us because of your brother . zoey : you know , we do n't have to be adversarial . we -- we both love david . if i get custody of him , i 'll let you see him . rafe : `` see him `` ? will you ? oh , really ? you 're gon na let me `` see him `` ? zoey : look , do you wan na try and work this out , or do you wan na take it to court ? because if you do , i guarantee you , you 'll lose . rafe : mm . sonny : rafe 's situation with david 's pretty unusual . will : you mean , the fact that one biological parent got arrested for murdering the other ? sonny : it 's like the worst - case scenario . if we do adopt , i 'm sure we 're not gon na have to go through a nightmare like that , okay ? will : yeah . of course , we , you know -- we could always try to have a baby of our own . sonny : surrogacy ? will : yeah . i mean , we 'd have to find an egg donor and a gestational carrier . sonny : and then we have to decide which one of us is gon na be the biological father . eli : wait , is the idea of you losing another child so terrifying that you would never wan na try again ? lani : i do n't know . maybe i would wan na adopt . there 's so many children out there who need homes . eli : adopt . lani : i guess we should have talked about this before now . eli : i guess so . lani : eli , if not having a biological child is a deal breaker for you , i understand . and if it 's that important to you , then ... we probably should n't get married . eli : lani , i have been waiting years to marry you . in some ways , i 've been waiting my entire life . lani : but you 've also been waiting to have a child . and eli , i do n't know if can give that to you . so if you have to move on , or -- eli : wait , wait , wait , wait -- hey , hey . stop . when it comes to you and me , there is no such thing as a `` deal breaker . `` lani : but if you wan na have a baby ... eli : yes ... okay , i would be thrilled to have a baby with you because i think it would make our love even stronger . but if you do n't wan na go through with this pregnancy , it 's your choice . lani : and you would support me ? eli : if that 's the decision you make ... then yes . i 'll support you 100 % . will : you should be the bio dad . sonny : why me ? will : well , because , you know , i already have a biological child , and plus , i would not be mad if our kid had your smile . sonny : well , patrick and damian at the gym actually mixed their sperm together before ivf . this way , they would n't know who the biological father was . will : well , i mean , except the kid had red hair and freckles , so it was pretty obvious that damian was the father . yeah . sonny : well , you knows ? i mean , what -- maybe we -- maybe we 'll have twins . i just -- i -- i just want to leave it up to fate . will : well , all i care about is providing a loving home for our kid , and of course i 'm biased but i think no family has more love to share than ours . kayla : um , i know it 's been tough on us since steve -- the real steve came back . but i have told you over and over again that i love you . justin : sweetheart , if you 're not ready , you do n't need to answer me right now . i know it 's sudden , and i do n't wan na rush you . so i 'll wait ... as long as it takes . you 're worth it . hope : i 've known kayla my whole adult life , and when you pushed her away , she was shocked , steve , humiliated , and she was angry , and she had every right to be . steve : you 're saying she went to justin to get over me ? hope : deep down in her heart , i know that she still loves you , and that is why you ca n't give up on her . steve : but still , it 's her decision , not mine . hope : oh , my gosh , steven ! still ? yet again , you are still trying to make the decision for her . we decided -- you decided ... kay deserves the chance , the opportunity to make her own decision . steve : i 'm sure by now , she has . hope : oh , but she does n't have all the facts . when justin proposed to her , she did n't know how you felt . steve : well , she knows how she feels . hope : wow . you 're tough . loving justin and committing to marriage , they 're two completely different things . and the kayla that i know would never give her whole heart to another man when a huge part of it still belongs to you . when our daughter and her kids moved in with us ... kate : abe . i know you enjoy the trappings of being mayor . abe : the trappings ? kate : yeah , you know , the best places to park , $ 500 shoes , the custom suits . i mean , come on . it 's all a power trip , right ? abe : you know , actually , i 'm trying to make a difference in this town . kate : well , you and i are going to be out of a job after the next election if you do n't do what 's necessary to rehabilitate your image . abe : my image is fine . kate : yeah ? really ? would you like to see the latest polls ? because you are down . you are under 40 % . that 's somewhere between damp socks and salmonella . abe : you know , polls are fickle . kate : face it -- your popularity is in the toilet . i mean , this demands drastic measures . abe : this will take care of itself . kate : it 's not going to take care of itself . abe , honestly , i mean , can you honestly tell me that there 's anything wrong with you basking in the reflected glory of steve and hope 's actions ? i mean , what 's the downside of that ? abe : the downside ? giving the keys of the city to a woman who pushed her cousin off of a rooftop ? and to a -- to a man who kidnapped his own wife ? kate : everyone knows that they were n't in control of their actions . abe : you sure about that ? kate : oh , yeah , i 'm sure of it . you 're sure of it . you 're just being stubborn . abe : [ laughs ] i 'm being stubborn ? kate : uh - huh , uh - huh . you wan na see ? because 67 % of your electorate think that . now i know why sheila quit . abe : you offering to resign ? kate : hell no , because i 'm not a quitter . but i 'll tell you what . i mean , if you really object to honoring steve and hope , that 's fine . i 'll just call it off , you know , and you can sit back , and you can watch your numbers go : whoo ... [ imitates explosion ] eli : baby , if your mind is made up that you do n't wan na have this child ... then i 'll support you . lani : [ sighs ] i have n't even had time to process it . i just know how i felt when i saw that test . eli : you 're allowed to have doubts . i mean , we all -- we all do . lani : yeah , but these were more than doubts . eli : i know , but you got -- you have time . and whatever you decide , i 'll be there for you . lani : thank you . and know that i would never make this decision lightly . i know that there are so many people out there dying to have a child , and they can't . will : you know what ? if you want , i can call kayla right now and get some recommendations for fertility clinics . sonny : well , i mean , maybe we 're getting just a little ahead of ourselves . will : oh . are we moving too fast ? sonny : no , i was just thinking about ari . given what gabi 's going through right now , i do n't know if ari 's gon na be open to having another sibling . i mean , we have n't even told her that gabi was arrested . will : [ sighs ] well , you know , a couple years ago , ari was all about being a big sister ... remember ? sonny : yeah . will : she was upset that gabi could n't have more kids . sonny : i know , but a lot has changed . i think ari likes being the center of our universe . will : well , i think it would be good for her if she were a little bit less the center of everyone 's universe . but the point is , i think ari would be so excited about being a big sister , but you 're right . that 's a long ways off , and we do n't wan na get her hopes up before , you know , we 're sure it 's gon na happen . sonny : agreed . because whether we go the route of adoption or surrogacy , it 's gon na be a -- a long road . will : oh , yeah , totally . i mean , there 's gon na be a lot of decisions that we have to make along the way , but ... sonny : but the most important decision has already been made . we are having a baby together . rafe : i ca n't believe you think you 're gon na win custody of david . zoey : you know , you better start believing . rafe : mm , if you persist in bringing this case , you leave me no choice but to use everything i have against you . zoey : and what does that mean ? rafe : well , for starters , you already have a kid that you ca n't look after . zoey : that is not true . rafe : oh , is n't it ? and i 'm sure that the judge would be interested in knowing that you were an accessory to a kidnapping , that you pulled a gun on me , and that you almost killed a cop . zoey : you know that that was -- rafe : facts are facts . it does n't matter if you were looking for your son or not . i 'll tell ya , shooting a cop is not a good look in court . zoey : well , i know my way around a courtroom . rafe : mm , well , then you should know you 're gon na lose . and if you do n't stop now , you 're gon na leave me no choice but to tear you apart . back off ! abe : i am not going to renege on the promise you made . it will only make me seem weak . kate : weaker . abe : solid and dependable ... that 's part of my brand , right ? 71 % . kate : oh , my god , you actually read my research . abe : all 273 pages . kate : oh , well , you should have seen the first draft . abe : look , kate , you should know that i care a lot more about policy than pr , but i will admit that your idea about honoring hope and steve is not without merit . kate : `` not without merit `` ? that 's such a glowing compliment . abe : just do n't do anything like that again . kate : yes , sir , mr . mayor . your wish is my command . zoey : i would n't be so cocky if i were you . your background is n't exactly squeaky - clean either . rafe : well , i 'd put mine up against yours any day . zoey : was n't your sister just arrested ? and your father , he 's a criminal too , if i 'm not mistaken . and what about your brother ? rafe : not involved in this . zoey : hmm , we 'll see . what i do know is , judges almost always rule in favor of a biological relative , and the wishes of david 's only living parent are a huge consideration . rafe : yeah , well , it just so happens his parent is in prison . i 'm the only father that david 's ever known . you do n't stand a chance in hell . zoey : i guess we 'll find out in court , wo n't we ? eli : if i never have a biological baby of my own , it 's okay . a baby is a blessing , and to raise a child with you would be a dream come true , but ... i do n't wan na sway you . whatever decision you make , i want it to be your choice ... and i will be with you no matter what . lani : eli ...

[ chuckles ] spencer . you sure gave us a scare . mm . and i bet liam -- i bet he looked a lot like you when he was your age . of course , i never -- i never got to -- got to hold him back then . but if i did ... i would have told him exactly what i 'm about to tell you . life is gon na be so good for you . beth : [ fusses ] bill : your daddy 's gon na see to it . hope : [ chuckles ] bill : where are you wanting to go ? where are you wanting to go ? where you wanting to go ? where you wanting to go ? hmm ? where you wanting to go ? what do you see ? what do you see up there ? oh , it 's the bear .
will comes to the cabin and knocks on the door . since he knocked hope knows it is not her mother . will answers that he is the baby inspector . he comes in and is closely followed by katie and bill who is holding the world 's largest life- sized teddy bear . he has a good reunion with his first born , liam , and hopes will growing up with a father around from the beginning will be better . aside from the others , bill tells liam that he took all of this very hard but he did not want to add to liam 's problems so he said nothing . liam tells him he was fine . and what a difference a day makes . bill admits that he always collected people and things . and his relationship with the man upstairs was always sort of complicated but he did not want to take it for granted so he said a prayer . well maybe not a prayer , but a request that all would be right with beth . liam says prayers are good and his prayer was answered . and grandfathers are important so he is glad bill is here now to keep liam in check as his dad . bill says he has one more thing he needs of liam does he have to ask to hold his granddaughter . liam is grinning from ear to ear and turns to hope with the others and goes and gets beth and brings her to bill who too is now grinning . while beth wiggles and giggles , bill claims it is good to welcome another spencer . liam admits it is and he will always be in beth 's life . brooke and ridge are at the office and she asks if he has called the police about flo . he replies no and she says she thinks it is because of thomas . if what flo , zoe and xander did and they are guilty then thomas is too . he tells her that he has the driver 's license so flo is going nowhere . they want to wait and see if zoe shows up at work today as flo did not .
<s>[INST] hope : how old was she the first time she grasped your finger ? liam : um , little -- really little , like , before the trip to paris . hope : what about the first time she held her rattle ? liam : i was not there for that . > hope : do you think she likes this one ? liam : [ laughing ] oh , my god . she likes it . she likes it -- just not as much as my chin or your hair .

[ sighs ] then we 'll face him together . brooke : i think i know why you do n't want to call the police . thomas . because whatever shauna and zoe and xander are guilty of , so is he . so , have you been able to reach him yet ?

[ sighs ] a switch just got flipped and then we were done . and the night ended earlier than i expected . and kristen said that she needed to be alone , and she just needed time to just gather herself . brady : hold on , hold on . are we talking about her having second thoughts about the wedding ? jennifer : no , she did n't say anything like that , really . and you know what , brady , i think -- i think maybe it 's gratitude . i think she suddenly can not believe that this is happening in her life with you . and now the possibility of adopting a baby . brady : did she tell you about that ? jennifer : yeah . you are giving her a gift . and you 're a gift . and like i said , i just -- i do n't think she can believe that this is happening for her , that she 's falling so in love with someone and that she wants to share her life with you . brady : i did n't expect it either , jen . jennifer : exactly , and that 's the best way for it to happen sometimes is by surprise . brady : i agree . yeah . jennifer : okay . so she just needs a breath to just take it all in . brady : all right . jennifer : okay . daniel : it 's one night , man . brady : i do n't like to be apart from her . daniel : well , let me tell you something , my friend . i know the feeling . jennifer : yeah , me too . and guess what ? after tomorrow , you wo n't be . brady : ever again . john : it 's very pretty . why do n't you turn around ? kristen : i do n't want to . john : why not ? kristen : i keep hoping that if i stay here long enough , you 'll just go away . john : you think that 's gon na settle everything ? kristen : yes . john : does n't sound very convincing . kristen : get out ! john : that 's better , but is that real anger or just frus -- kristen : how dare you come here and play me . do you see what this is ? this is my wedding gown , john . i 'm supposed to put it on tomorrow and marry the man of my dreams . john : is that what he is ? kristen : i 'm supposed to start my life with somebody that actually loves me . and you stand here like it 's nothing . i mean , does n't any of this bother you ? do n't you have a twinge of guilt ? there 's nothing ? all you want -- john : is what ? go ahead and say it . kristen : i 'm not like you . i ca n't just feel nothing . john : i never said i -- kristen : what ? john : i do n't know what the hell we 're supposed to be feeling right now , kristen . kristen : but you 're here . john : and you have n't kicked me out . kristen : yet . john : is this what you 're wearing ? kristen : [ sniffles ] i told you , it 's for new beginnings , remember ? john : what about the `` right `` man ? i think you said that you were gon na wear these for the right man -- our wedding . kristen : that never happened . you took them ? john : well , i just could n't stop thinking about ... you and this necklace . perfect . kristen : is it how you pictured it ? john : not exactly . the picture in my mind , you were wearing those pearls and nothing else . a ok so i 've been having an affair of sorts nicole : well , that would suck . i mean , stink . it would stink if the bishop came here and did n't see that you were perfect for the job . eric : i know , i 'm just embarrassed . i mean , i let the little things get to me . and i know . i know , i know i shouldn't . nicole : hey , but you were burning it at both ends to make sure the school is ready . eric : this is just not me . i 'm -- i 'm pushing papers . i mean , do you have any idea that people e putting time and money into this ? do you know how much ? i mean , they 're doing god 's work . they deserve the right to see their work honored and blessed by the bishop . nicole : okay . eric : [ sighs ] nicole : and what ? you do n't matter ? you do n't think you deserve a little honor yourself ? eric : i just want to see the school up and running , that 's all . nicole : you are too good . eric : no , i 'm not . nicole : yeah , what ? because you got a little annoyed ? eric : no . among other things . nicole : mm - hmm . eric : i have faults . all right , i have a lot of them , nicole . all right , i 'm just hoping to use that , my compassion , to help other people 's weaknesses . nicole : seriously , too good . eric : what ? nicole : no , it 's -- look , you fit here . they 're lucky to have you here . you 're like the perfect priest , and that is not gon na change . eric : okay , well -- nicole : listen , i got ta go because i have some errands to run before everything closes , so see you later . eric : no , no , nicole . wait . wait a minute . nicole : okay , bye . eric : come on . daniel : anyway , you know . rory : well , this is riveting . jj : shh . rory : what the hell ?

i mean , i just showed up with my stuff , and you had to go along with it . so , stepdad , how much do you hate this new setup ? billy : 'cause that baseball will be super cool for show and tell next week . hannah . hannah : hi , billy . billy : hi . hannah : hi , johnny ! billy : it 's always nice to see the world 's best babysitter , but what are you doing here ? hannah : victoria asked me to take johnny to school . billy : something come up ? hannah : not really . she just wanted me to take him . billy : so that 's how she 's gon na play this . victoria : it 's simple . you agree to something and you stick to it . once you start to let things slide , there 's nothing but trouble . nick : something tells me we 're not talking about that contract . victoria : you 're right . it 's not about that . i 'm just struggling with personal boundaries . nick : want to talk about it ? victoria : no . because no matter how messed up my life is , yours is much worse . nick : [ scoffs ] ouch . victoria : sorry . that came out wrong . what i meant to say was no matter what problems i 'm having , i know you 're dealing with way more . nick : if you 're talking about me blowing up at you and telling you to back off , then yeah , i guess i am . and , uh , i 'm sorry about that , by the way . victoria : there will be payback for that . you should sleep with one eye open . nick : you know what i hate the most ? it 's not knowing how i 'm gon na be feeling from one minute to the next . you know , i 'll be cruising along thinking i 'm good and that i got this ... victoria : then it hits you . nick : i mean , it just crushes me . it 's like a tsunami of -- of anger and depression . all i can think about is -- is what should have been , you know , all the years i had with sage ... and christian . and instead , within a year , i went from being a happily married man to an amazing woman with a child on the way to just ... i 'm just alone . stitch : change your clothes ? abby : [ chuckles ] yeah , it 's a habit . i , uh , do it every day . stitch : when you were gone , i thought , um , you know ... abby : i 'm glad you missed me . and , um , while i was out , i got some coffee . stitch : thanks for staying with me , babe . abby : of course . what kind of loving wife would just leave her husband when he was upset ? and besides , you know , i wanted to be here in case we got any news on max . i care about him , too . stitch : i know you do . i know . abby : and since we did n't really get a chance to talk last night , i thought maybe , uh ... stitch : yeah , i - i ca n't . i have to get to the hospital , meet with paul and the social worker , you know , and discuss what 's next for max . abby : okay . stitch : abby , i think -- abby : you know what ? no , it 's fine . we do n't have to get into it . i know it 's probably better if you 're alone . stitch : abs -- abby : and i have a ton of work to do , so -- stitch : i want you to come with me . abby : you do ? stitch : if we 're gon na discuss max 's future , you should be there . abby : i 'd like that . we can face this ... together . stitch : yeah . hilary : what are you doing here all alone ? phyllis : we 're just finishing breakfast , hilary . jack : what can we do for you , hilary ? hilary : oh , well , i had a few items on the agenda that i wanted to go over before our meeting , if that 's okay . jack : absolutely . hilary : well , i 'm sorry to steal your husband away , phyllis , but we 're in a bit of a time crunch and i 'm sure you understand . you 're probably swamped , as well , huh ? phyllis : actually , my schedule 's wide open . i 'd absolutely love to hear what 's on your agenda , hilary . paul : um , ms . king and i met with dr. rosen this morning to discuss max 's treatment . stitch : okay , did he say how much longer he has to stay here ? because the sooner he gets released , the sooner we can get him into outpatient therapy . paul : uh , well , there is an issue with that , stitch . stitch : wait . what issue ? that was always the plan , paul . max was being admitted for evaluation . he 's being evaluated , right ? paul : that 's right . he -- he was being evaluated . stitch : now he gets to come home . he 's just a little boy ! i mean , do you realize how terrifying this is for him being here , being away from me ? ! abby : ben . stitch : look , i 'm sorry . just -- please just tell me what 's happening . paul : dr. rosen and social services feel that it is in ... max 's best interest to be in a long - term facility . abby : um , okay . okay , so that means he stays here , right ? which means you can see him all the time -- before and after your shifts , your days off -- paul : unfortunately , memorial , uh , can not accommodate his needs to the future . stitch : then where 's he supposed to go ? there 's a local facility specializing in psychiatric rehabilitation for children . stitch : no , no , no . i ca n't do that to him ! no ! they have an outstanding staff , dr. rayburn , with an environment far more comfortable than a hospital . paul : and i 'm telling you , this is a youth facility with an outstanding reputation . max will be well - cared for , and he will be safe . abby : he needs a minute . just a minute . stitch : the way they 're talking about max , he could be in some facility for months . i promised him , abby . i promised him i 'd be there with him . how do i tell my son that i have no idea when he can come home again ? mariah : just be honest . if you do n't want me here , i can take it . dylan : you are more than welcome here . mariah : are you sure you do n't need some time to think about that ? because you did n't look too thrilled when i just interrupted your makeout session . dylan : [ chuckles ] well , i was -- you know , i was a little embarrassed . sharon : yeah , yeah . so was i . but we were n't upset . dylan : not at all . well , maybe just a little bit because i did n't really want it to end , but -- sharon : dylan . dylan : she knows i 'm joking . you know i 'm joking , right ? mariah : [ chuckles ] dylan : something else you need to know about me -- i mean what i say . so we good ? mariah : yes , i 'm -- i 'm so sorry for the -- the ' tude just now . i promise from now on i will be a chill roommate . sharon : hey , you are not a roommate , okay ? you 're my daughter . dylan : sharon 's right . you 're family . you 'll always have a place here . nick : i wake up every day wondering what i did to deserve this . victoria : you did n't do anything , nick . [ sighs ] i wish there was something that i could do to help you . do you want to toss around a contract ? it worked for me . nick : yeah . i need to be here . having someplace to go , doing important work , like proving to dad he 's not the only newman who can run this company . it grounds me . victoria : is that your nice way of telling me to stop asking if you 're ready to be back here ? nick : this is not about being ready , vick . i just need to be here . victoria : good , because you 're needed and you 're wanted . and you were right to call me out for being a hypocrite . i have been throwing myself into work here to escape my problems . nick : and by problems , we 're talking about billy , right ? victoria : yes . [ sighs ] ugh . yes . even the mention of his name brings up emotions of love and longing and hate and jealousy and ... ugh . it 's driving me crazy , nick . nick : then do something about it . victoria : i have . i 've decided no more . i 'm not gon na do it . and i 'm not gon na let my ex - husband have any power over me . he can live his life the way that he wants , and i will do the same . nick : look , i 'm all for you drawing the line with billy , but just do n't do anything reckless , okay ? victoria : i wo n't ! okay , i 'll admit i was headed in that direction for a while , but now i have a very level - headed plan . nick : just be careful . we both know being in a bad place can sometimes lead to bad decisions . victoria : why do n't we make a pact not to do that ? we 'll just promise to look out for each other . i 'll take care of myself , you 'll take care of me , we 'll take care of you , and then we 'll take care of a few other things that need to be taken care of . nick : and we 'll pour all of our efforts and energy into running this company . and unfortunately , that means fighting off dad 's unrelenting attacks . deal ? victoria : deal . michael : hey . nick ! hey , you wanted to see me ? victoria : hi , michael . yes , you 're here . this is part of the new game plan . michael . mm - hmm . nick : okay , well , i 'll leave you to it . i 'm gon na be out of the office for a couple hours . victoria : okay . where you headed ? nick : i 'm just sticking to the plan . got to see someone . bye . michael : um , i presume i 'm here to consult on a newman legal matter ? victoria : um , in a way . i need an emissary to help me with a very sensitive newman - abbott matter . hilary : well , it is amazing how you managed to take every one of my p.r . ideas and improve upon them . phyllis : well , that 's years of tabloid journalism paying off . jack : paying off big time . this way we get more media hits and still protect the dignity of the foundation . phyllis : mm - hmm . hilary : yeah , i could n't agree more . thank you very much , phyllis . phyllis : well , i 'm glad to help . i 've been wrapped up in my own projects lately , and i have n't been paying much attention to jack 's work at the foundation . which is n't right , since i know how close it is to his heart . i promise to make that up to you . jack : i know you will . hilary : i have a few more details that i was hoping we could go over before that meeting . jack : of course . hilary : yeah , if you 'll look right here ... jack : actually , i had a question about the second paragraph . hilary : oh , okay . jack : where it says ... here . sharon : hi . nick . what brings you by ? nick : oh , i thought i 'd take faith down to that new bakery on higgins street . sharon : i 'm sure she would love that , but she 's at school . nick : oh , uh , i thought she was out of school for a teacher development thing . sharon : no , no , that 's next week . nick : uh , yeah , yeah . i guess i 'm just having a hard time keeping things straight lately . sharon : that 's totally understandable . nick : which is why i think she 's better off here , you know . i just do n't want her to feel like i 'm abandoning her . sharon : no , nick , she does n't feel that way . she 's a smart little girl . she knows why she 's staying here with us .

i ca n't speak my mind ? we made love , phyllis . it was crazy and it was hot . you freaked out and you ran . so is it wrong for me to want a private moment ? phyllis : no . it 's not wrong . but we should get some things straight . billy : i 'll get a room . phyllis : stop it . we have to act as if nothing has changed , especially around jack . he has already asked me if i have feelings for you . billy : what did you say ? phyllis : i said yes , that i care about you as a friend and as jack 's brother and i 'm worried about you and that i hate to see you make mistakes that bring you so much unhappiness . billy : what happened between us did n't feel like a mistake . it felt like inevitable . phyllis : i love jack . he is my husband , and i do n't want my marriage to crumble . which is why what happened between you and me never happened . and it 'll never happen again . billy : yeah , i heard you the first time . phyllis : did you ? because i did not hear you agree . i did n't hear the words , and i really need to hear the words . i need you to promise me . please . billy : never again ? never ? phyllis : that 's right . billy : if that 's what you want , you got it . michael : sorry to interrupt . phyllis . billy . billy : what can we do for you , michael ? michael : i would like to have a private word with you . phyllis : that 's no problem . we 're done . billy : let me guess . victoria sent you because she does n't want to deal with me herself . that 's what i thought . what does she want ? michael : and that 's how victoria would like to handle all future custody arrangements . billy : so , in layman 's terms , this is victoria 's first step towards changing the agreement . michael : that is not what this is . billy : she wants to keep me away from the kids , does n't she ? michael : absolutely not , billy . she simply wants the two of you to stick to the rules that you had previously laid out . she feels that this will -- this will benefit everybody involved , especially the children . billy : you 're a good spin doctor , michael , but this is n't about the kids , is it ? michael : i assure you that this is for -- billy : this is punishment , is n't it ? she does n't like the idea of me being with another woman , even though she 's the one that ended the relationship . michael : you know it is not my place to co -- billy : so i 'm right . michael : [ sighs ] all right , you want the facts ? these are the facts . victoria does not feel that your personal lives should be intertwined any longer , allowing you both to move on . billy : wow . so this is n't about getting space between us . michael : this is about maintaining a civil discourse -- billy : this is n't about me meeting another woman . this is about keeping me out of the way of her meeting another man , is n't it ? travis : hey . tori . victoria : hi . travis : your usual ? victoria : no , i 'm not here for a drink . travis : did n't think you were , after the way you left last night . do i want to know why you 're here ? victoria : you know , i just kind of wanted to clear the air . travis : that 's just another way of saying you want to talk , is n't it ? why are you being so formal ? victoria : it 's just that 's exactly what i wanted to talk about , actually . i told you that this was supposed to be about fun , not a relationship . travis : it 's just an expression . victoria : that 's why i thought we could keep things on a first - name basis . no questions asked . that sort of thing . travis : and i broke the rules when i wanted to know your kid 's name . victoria : and , you know , you kind of crossed a line , and i , um , i just wanted to tell you that i do n't think that what happened last night can ever happen again . travis : just like that ? wait , you 're gon na walk away because i want to get to know you better ? victoria : i just have too many complications in my life right now . travis : last night was not complicated . it was ... good , right ? maybe even astronomical . maybe i 'm the kind of complication you need . we can work this out . we can . victoria : i 'm sorry . no , i - i ca n't do this . dylan : what can i do for stitch ? abby : [ sighs ] keep being his friend . like you always have been . and keep reminding him that we 're doing the right thing for max . he 's gon na need to hear that . dylan : yeah , i can do that . uh , how about i check in on you every once in awhile , make sure you 're doing okay ? abby : i 'd like that . you know , ben , max , and i , we 're all so damaged . max lost his mom , ben and i lost our baby , and now ben 's son is being taken away . it 's all so awful . dylan : if there 's anything you need ... abby : i 'm just gon na try to focus on the positive . stitch : you have been lashing out because you have n't dealt with your mother 's death . and you 've been using your pain to justify your inexcusable behavior . that 's got to stop , max . and as hard as it is to believe , everyone knows how hard this is for you . max : you do n't . you 're sending me away . stitch : hey , i 'm getting you help . just like i help lots of kids whose arms and legs are broken . these doctors , they can -- they 're gon na help you in a way i ca n't . max : you could try . stitch : i have tried , son . and i failed . i have failed you so many times , max , and i 'm not gon na do that again . you 're going to this facility . max : please ! do n't make me ! stitch : listen . and while you 're there , i hope you find a way to accept that sometimes accidents happen . sometimes people we love die . and as much as you want to blame someone , sometimes there 's no one to blame . max : why did mom have to die ? it 's no fair ! stitch : i know it 's not . max : i miss her so much . stitch : she will always be in your heart , okay ? so when you get sad or scared , all you have to do is just think of all the fun things you used to do with her . i know that 'll make you feel better . she loved you very , very much . and so do i . that 's why i want you to get better , son . then we can make lots and lots of fun memories , too , you know ? max : but what if i go and never see you again ? stitch : hey . hey . that is not gon na happen . you hear me ? we 're just gon na live in different places for a little while . but i will visit you all the time , and i will think about you every second of every day . you are my son . and i will never leave you . nick : those sage 's things ? mariah : yeah . uh , they 're just a few things that i thought you might want to keep . i 'll take care of donating the rest to charity . but i can donate this stuff , too , if you want . nick : uh , no . sharon : mariah , maybe we should put that stuff away . mariah : yeah , you know , i can just put this in a closet until you 're ready to deal with it , okay ? nick : it 's all right . sharon : nick , are you sure ? nick : yeah , i , uh ... i think i want to look through it . mariah : right now ? nick : yeah , with you and your mom here keeping me company . would that be okay ? sharon : of course . nick : this is sage 's journal . sharon : she kept a journal ? nick : yeah , i saw her writing in it a few times . she kept it pretty private . i guess now that she 's gone ... it might help me to feel closer to her . hilary : you 're still here . phyllis : you are observant . hilary : very . you waiting for jack ? phyllis : yes . hilary : well , i 'm sure he 'll be here any minute , and you can latch on to him and shower him with tons of affection . phyllis : excuse me ? hilary : well , jack was telling me that he was worried about things at home , and i could n't help observing that you were clearly overcompensating earlier . but are you sure that that 's how you want to fix your little problem ? phyllis : my marriage is none of your business . hilary : i - i did n't mean to overstep . i 'm sorry . phyllis : yeah , you did . hilary : i 'm not trying to get in the middle of anything , phyllis , i swear . jack was just there for me when i had some family problems recently , and i was just trying to return the favor . phyllis : okay , i do n't need your advice or want it . you keep your mouth shut , or i 'll shut it for you . [ footsteps approach ] phyllis : hi , darling . jack : ladies . phyllis : how 'd the meeting go ? jack : meeting could not have gone better , thanks to hilary . hilary : oh , i ca n't take all of the credit . we were totally in sync . all right , well , um , i better go get some work done , huh ? jack : all right . thanks again . hilary : thank you . phyllis : you were talking to that woman about our relationship ? nick : this is just after christian died . `` i can barely leave the couch . just hearing nick say christian 's name is like a knife through my heart . i dream about christian practically every night . i do n't know how to move forward from losing my baby when i still feel his presence so intensely . `` sharon : nick , maybe it 's a little bit too soon for this . nick : it 's a lot to process . sharon : of course it is . you know what ? let 's -- let 's just pack up all this stuff and put it away in a closet like mariah said . nick : no , i think i 'm gon na keep this with me . mariah : i 'm so sorry , nick . i did n't mean to upset you . i just thought this is stuff that you 'd want to hold on to . nick : no , no , i 'm glad you found it . and , uh , thank you for bringing it to me . there 's a lot of entries about christian in here . i think i 'll , uh , finish this later . sharon : no . i mean , i just -- i think you should be with family when you read it . nick : [ voice breaking ] i think i want to be alone . i hope you understand . sharon : yes , i do . nick : thanks for bringing this . thank you . mariah : of course . sharon : god , i wish you 'd never found that thing ! max : you might not want to , but maybe you can come with dad and visit me . abby : i will . stitch : we 're ready . should we go ? i 'm sorry , but you ca n't come , dr. rayburn . max : dad ? stitch : hey . do n't worry . it 'll be fine . you 'll be fine . when can i see him ? once he 's settled . stitch : that means soon . real soon . you 'll be in good hands . it 'll be okay . max : i love you , daddy . stitch : i love you , too , son . [ sighs ] jack : i have not divulged the details of our marriage to hilary . phyllis : she did n't make it sound like that . jack : the last time we fought , maybe i alluded to there being a bumpy road , nothing more . that is all . phyllis : are you sure ? i hate that we fought . more than you know . jack : so do i . phyllis : you do n't need to go to hilary to discuss your feelings when you want to talk . i 'm right here . there 's no room for anyone else in this relationship . victoria : [ sighs ] you know , you really got to stop making yourself at home in my office . billy : had a delivery to make . victoria : what is that ? billy : [ sighs ] signed document stating that i will follow the custody agreement to the letter . even had it notarized because you want everything by the book , right ? victoria : yeah , that 's right . and it 'll make things a lot cleaner if we solely focus on our children and formally agree to stay out of each other 's personal lives . billy : that 's what i was thinking . so now i 'm free to be with who i want , and you 're free to be with who you want . that your lady you were talking to ? women . drive you crazy . am i right ? travis : got that right . this one 's making me nuts . i 've seen you here before . gin and tonic , please . [ liquid pours ] travis : this one 's on the house . that 's very kind of you . abby : um ... it seems like you and max took a step in the right direction today . stitch : hey . thank you for being there for me and for max . abby : you 're welcome . stitch : abby , i ... i know you and i still have a lot of things to work out , but ... abby : but ? stitch : we can get past this , right ? right ? [ sighs ] dylan : what i hate about this , it 's got my best friend seriously doubting himself as a father . stitch is a good guy . all he wanted to do was believe in his kid . paul : yeah , well , sometimes seeing your child for who he really is , it 's easier said than done . trust me . i know . mariah : why are you getting all upset about sage 's journal ? sharon : i 'm just concerned about nick 's emotional wellbeing . mariah : no , that 's not it . there 's something else going on . what do you think is written in there ? [ next_on ] nick : sage left that letter for adam . i want to know what was in it . mariah : what did dr. anderson do ? ! why would you say that sully is n't yours ? ! albert : name me your price ! i 'll write you a check , and then you can go ! victor : i want nothing from you !
victoria and nick make a pact to focus on newman enterprises and not make dumb mistakes because they 're upset . victoria asks michael to draw up some papers for billy to sign that state they will both strictly adhere to the rules of their custody agreement . michael takes them to billy . billy thinks victoria is doing this because she wants to see someone new . he signs the papers and takes them to victoria . victoria goes to travis ' bar and tells him they can never be together again because it was supposed to be fun and casual but he crossed the line by asking her kid 's name . the p.i . witnesses this exchange and reports back that victoria and travis were n't just a one time thing . mariah walks in on dylan and sharon in an intimate moment . she thinks dylan does n't like this new arrangement with mariah living there . dylan and sharon assure her that everything is fine . dylan leaves and nick arrives . he wants to take faith to the park but faith is at school . nick says he needs to box up sage 's stuff . mariah offers to do it for him . nick confides in sharon . mariah returns with a box of personal items including sage 's journal . nick starts to read it and gets emotional . he decides he wants to be alone . when he leaves , sharon snaps at mariah for giving nick the journal . mariah asks what sharon thinks is in the journal . nick takes the journal to the park and reads something that shocks him . dylan goes to the hospital to be there for stitch , who just found out that max has to stay at a children 's psychiatric treatment facility . max admits he is having a hard time dealing with his mom 's death . he asks abby if she will come visit him with his dad . abby says yes .
<s>[INST] sharon : do you need something ? dylan : yeah , i need something . and this . mariah : oh ! sorry . dylan : ah . morning , mariah . mariah : good morning . uh , i was gon na make some coffee . do you guys -- sharon : oh , it 's already made . mariah : okay . well , where 's faith ? i could -- sharon : no , she already left . dylan : yeah . mariah : what about sully ? does he need any watching ? dylan : nikki took him out for the morning . mariah : okay . i 'm all out of suggestions . is there anything that you guys need help with around here ? what 'd i say ? dylan : what ? nothing . you did n't say anything . just , uh , go on and enjoy your day . mariah : is that your way of saying that i 'm in the way ? sharon : mariah -- dylan : no , that 's -- no , that 's not it . mariah : i mean , i know i basically bulldozed my way into living here . sharon : no , i told you . i like having you here . mariah : yeah , you told me , but we never asked dylan , did we ? i mean , i just showed up with my stuff , and you had to go along with it . so , stepdad , how much do you hate this new setup ? billy : 'cause that baseball will be super cool for show and tell next week . hannah . hannah : hi , billy . billy : hi . hannah : hi , johnny ! billy : it 's always nice to see the world 's best babysitter , but what are you doing here ? hannah : victoria asked me to take johnny to school . billy : something come up ? hannah : not really . she just wanted me to take him . billy : so that 's how she 's gon na play this . victoria : it 's simple . you agree to something and you stick to it . once you start to let things slide , there 's nothing but trouble . nick : something tells me we 're not talking about that contract . victoria : you 're right . it 's not about that . i 'm just struggling with personal boundaries . nick : want to talk about it ? victoria : no . because no matter how messed up my life is , yours is much worse . nick : [ scoffs ] ouch . victoria : sorry . that came out wrong . what i meant to say was no matter what problems i 'm having , i know you 're dealing with way more . nick : if you 're talking about me blowing up at you and telling you to back off , then yeah , i guess i am . and , uh , i 'm sorry about that , by the way . victoria : there will be payback for that . you should sleep with one eye open . nick : you know what i hate the most ? it 's not knowing how i 'm gon na be feeling from one minute to the next . you know , i 'll be cruising along thinking i 'm good and that i got this ... victoria : then it hits you . nick : i mean , it just crushes me . it 's like a tsunami of -- of anger and depression . all i can think about is -- is what should have been , you know , all the years i had with sage ... and christian . and instead , within a year , i went from being a happily married man to an amazing woman with a child on the way to just ... i 'm just alone . stitch : change your clothes ? abby : [ chuckles ] yeah , it 's a habit . i , uh , do it every day . stitch : when you were gone , i thought , um , you know ... abby : i 'm glad you missed me . and , um , while i was out , i got some coffee . stitch : thanks for staying with me , babe . abby : of course . what kind of loving wife would just leave her husband when he was upset ? and besides , you know , i wanted to be here in case we got any news on max . i care about him , too . stitch : i know you do . i know . abby : and since we did n't really get a chance to talk last night , i thought maybe , uh ... stitch : yeah , i - i ca n't . i have to get to the hospital , meet with paul and the social worker , you know , and discuss what 's next for max . abby : okay . stitch : abby , i think -- abby : you know what ? no , it 's fine . we do n't have to get into it . i know it 's probably better if you 're alone . stitch : abs -- abby : and i have a ton of work to do , so -- stitch : i want you to come with me . abby : you do ? stitch : if we 're gon na discuss max 's future , you should be there . abby : i 'd like that . we can face this ... together . stitch : yeah . hilary : what are you doing here all alone ? phyllis : we 're just finishing breakfast , hilary . jack : what can we do for you , hilary ? hilary : oh , well , i had a few items on the agenda that i wanted to go over before our meeting , if that 's okay . jack : absolutely . hilary : well , i 'm sorry to steal your husband away , phyllis , but we 're in a bit of a time crunch and i 'm sure you understand . you 're probably swamped , as well , huh ? phyllis : actually , my schedule 's wide open . i 'd absolutely love to hear what 's on your agenda , hilary . paul : um , ms . king and i met with dr. rosen this morning to discuss max 's treatment . stitch : okay , did he say how much longer he has to stay here ? because the sooner he gets released , the sooner we can get him into outpatient therapy . paul : uh , well , there is an issue with that , stitch . stitch : wait . what issue ? that was always the plan , paul . max was being admitted for evaluation . he 's being evaluated , right ? paul : that 's right . he -- he was being evaluated . stitch : now he gets to come home . he 's just a little boy ! i mean , do you realize how terrifying this is for him being here , being away from me ? ! abby : ben . stitch : look , i 'm sorry . just -- please just tell me what 's happening . paul : dr. rosen and social services feel that it is in ... max 's best interest to be in a long - term facility . abby : um , okay . okay , so that means he stays here , right ? which means you can see him all the time -- before and after your shifts , your days off -- paul : unfortunately , memorial , uh , can not accommodate his needs to the future . stitch : then where 's he supposed to go ? there 's a local facility specializing in psychiatric rehabilitation for children . stitch : no , no , no . i ca n't do that to him ! no ! they have an outstanding staff , dr. rayburn , with an environment far more comfortable than a hospital . paul : and i 'm telling you , this is a youth facility with an outstanding reputation . max will be well - cared for , and he will be safe . abby : he needs a minute . just a minute . stitch : the way they 're talking about max , he could be in some facility for months . i promised him , abby . i promised him i 'd be there with him . how do i tell my son that i have no idea when he can come home again ? mariah : just be honest . if you do n't want me here , i can take it . dylan : you are more than welcome here . mariah : are you sure you do n't need some time to think about that ? because you did n't look too thrilled when i just interrupted your makeout session . dylan : [ chuckles ] well , i was -- you know , i was a little embarrassed . sharon : yeah , yeah . so was i . but we were n't upset . dylan : not at all . well , maybe just a little bit because i did n't really want it to end , but -- sharon : dylan . dylan : she knows i 'm joking . you know i 'm joking , right ? mariah : [ chuckles ] dylan : something else you need to know about me -- i mean what i say . so we good ? mariah : yes , i 'm -- i 'm so sorry for the -- the ' tude just now . i promise from now on i will be a chill roommate . sharon : hey , you are not a roommate , okay ? you 're my daughter . dylan : sharon 's right . you 're family . you 'll always have a place here . nick : i wake up every day wondering what i did to deserve this . victoria : you did n't do anything , nick . [ sighs ] i wish there was something that i could do to help you . do you want to toss around a contract ? it worked for me . nick : yeah . i need to be here . having someplace to go , doing important work , like proving to dad he 's not the only newman who can run this company . it grounds me . victoria : is that your nice way of telling me to stop asking if you 're ready to be back here ? nick : this is not about being ready , vick . i just need to be here . victoria : good , because you 're needed and you 're wanted . and you were right to call me out for being a hypocrite . i have been throwing myself into work here to escape my problems . nick : and by problems , we 're talking about billy , right ? victoria : yes . [ sighs ] ugh . yes . even the mention of his name brings up emotions of love and longing and hate and jealousy and ... ugh . it 's driving me crazy , nick . nick : then do something about it . victoria : i have . i 've decided no more . i 'm not gon na do it . and i 'm not gon na let my ex - husband have any power over me . he can live his life the way that he wants , and i will do the same . nick : look , i 'm all for you drawing the line with billy , but just do n't do anything reckless , okay ? victoria : i wo n't ! okay , i 'll admit i was headed in that direction for a while , but now i have a very level - headed plan . nick : just be careful . we both know being in a bad place can sometimes lead to bad decisions . victoria : why do n't we make a pact not to do that ? we 'll just promise to look out for each other . i 'll take care of myself , you 'll take care of me , we 'll take care of you , and then we 'll take care of a few other things that need to be taken care of . nick : and we 'll pour all of our efforts and energy into running this company . and unfortunately , that means fighting off dad 's unrelenting attacks . deal ? victoria : deal . michael : hey . nick ! hey , you wanted to see me ? victoria : hi , michael . yes , you 're here . this is part of the new game plan . michael . mm - hmm . nick : okay , well , i 'll leave you to it . i 'm gon na be out of the office for a couple hours . victoria : okay . where you headed ? nick : i 'm just sticking to the plan . got to see someone . bye . michael : um , i presume i 'm here to consult on a newman legal matter ? victoria : um , in a way . i need an emissary to help me with a very sensitive newman - abbott matter . hilary : well , it is amazing how you managed to take every one of my p.r . ideas and improve upon them . phyllis : well , that 's years of tabloid journalism paying off . jack : paying off big time . this way we get more media hits and still protect the dignity of the foundation . phyllis : mm - hmm . hilary : yeah , i could n't agree more . thank you very much , phyllis . phyllis : well , i 'm glad to help . i 've been wrapped up in my own projects lately , and i have n't been paying much attention to jack 's work at the foundation . which is n't right , since i know how close it is to his heart . i promise to make that up to you . jack : i know you will . hilary : i have a few more details that i was hoping we could go over before that meeting . jack : of course . hilary : yeah , if you 'll look right here ... jack : actually , i had a question about the second paragraph . hilary : oh , okay . jack : where it says ... here . sharon : hi . nick . what brings you by ? nick : oh , i thought i 'd take faith down to that new bakery on higgins street . sharon : i 'm sure she would love that , but she 's at school . nick : oh , uh , i thought she was out of school for a teacher development thing . sharon : no , no , that 's next week . nick : uh , yeah , yeah . i guess i 'm just having a hard time keeping things straight lately . sharon : that 's totally understandable . nick : which is why i think she 's better off here , you know . i just do n't want her to feel like i 'm abandoning her . sharon : no , nick , she does n't feel that way . she 's a smart little girl . she knows why she 's staying here with us . [ cell phone chimes ] sharon : is that work ? dylan : it 's abby . she wants me to go to the hospital . nick : why ? what 's wrong with abby ? dylan : she 's okay . she said stitch needs a friend and , uh , there 's news about max , but she did n't give me any details . sharon : okay . well , go . go be with your friend . dylan : okay , i 'll call you as soon as i find something out . sharon : okay . [ door opens ] mariah : not a banner year for the newmans , right ? [ door closes ] nick : no . no , it 's not . sharon : nick , can you stay for a visit ? nick : i do have some free time , but i was thinking i should go over to the apartment and finish packing . mariah : you 're moving back into the tack house ? nick : yeah . well , my stuff 's in boxes . i just need to figure out what to do with sage 's stuff , you know , what i 'm keeping and what i should give to charity . sharon : that 's not an easy task . mariah : i 'll do it . nick : uh ... no , i was n't , uh , saying that , suggesting or asking -- mariah : no , that 's -- that 's why i volunteered . it 's not my usual m.o . , but every now and then , i like to do something nice , keep people guessing . nick : well , it would be helpful . thank you . mariah : consider it done . [ computer keys clacking ] [ laptop lid closes ] victoria : okay , i just e - mailed you the formal custody agreement between billy and me . it spells out in detail how we 'll divide visitation and how we should conduct ourselves in all areas where our children are concerned . michael : so , uh , billy , in some way , has violated this agreement ? victoria : no , it 's just that , with time , we 've just become lax about how we 've been doing things , and i want you to remind billy of what 's in that contract and let him know that i want us to strictly adhere to those rules . michael : i see . victoria : and i want his acceptance in writing , please . michael : so , uh , what lax behavior are we hoping to correct ? victoria : we both need to stop dropping by without advance notice , that way we wo n't walk in on each other at inopportune moments . michael : inopportune . as in ? victoria : billy with a woman wearing only his bathrobe . michael : ooh . that 's awkward . victoria : yeah , and then some . last night when i went to drop off our son , i found billy half dressed finishing a glass of wine . michael : well , that 's not exactly bizarre for -- victoria : obviously johnny and i would have seen more if we had arrived sooner . michael : listen , victoria , are you sure you do n't want to discuss this directly with billy ? i mean , if you get a lawyer involved -- and in my case , an unlicensed lawyer currently -- you know , it 's just likely to escalate tension . victoria : michael , you being involved will create less tension , i believe . because whenever billy and i get together , things just become very confusing quickly . not just for us , but for the kids . we have to stop blurring the lines and we have to stop creeping in and out of each other 's lives . michael : all right . i have to ask you , as a friend , are you sure there 's no hope of reconciliation ? victoria : no . there 's none . we just have to accept that . billy and i will be always connected because of the children . but outside of being parents , we need to start living separate lives . hilary : so , how does that sound to you , phyllis ? phyllis : great . hilary : okay , um ... ooh ! look at the time . we have got to get to that meeting . jack : you want to come ? phyllis : i 'd love to , but i need to make some important phone calls . jack : i got your pad . phyllis : bye . thought you 'd come over and say hello . billy : i thought about it . i did n't want to deal with jack 's condescension . this is better anyways . now i have you all to myself . sharon : mariah really stepped up , did n't she ? now that she 's living with me , i 'm sure she 'd be happy to be there for you whenever you need , be a shoulder to cry on . nick : i think if i tried to cry on mariah 's shoulder , she 'd punch me in the face . sharon : probably . nick : you know , sharon , you 've been so great through all this , very kind , very helpful . sharon : well , that 's the least i could do . i - i know how much you miss sage . nick : that 's why i needed to move out of that apartment . it 's just so distinctly sage 's , you know ? sharon : but you were living in the tack house with sage when you first got married . nick : yeah , i know , but , you know , at least there i have a lot of memories , you know , that are n't just about sage . at the apartment ... it 's where we went , you know , when we tried to start over after losing christian . when i 'm there , i just stare at the door and i hope she walks in . obviously that 's never gon na happen , you know . we 'll never laugh together , we 'll never take long walks again , we 'll ... we 'll never adopt a child and start the family that we always wanted to have . she 's gone . i mean , there 's nothing there . dylan : hey . what 's going on with stitch ? paul : uh , the social worker is finalizing the paperwork for max 's transfer . dylan : transfer ? paul : mm - hmm . dylan : psychiatric facility ? abby : one that specializes in helping kids . dylan : oh , man . stitch must have known that this could happen , but now that it is ... abby : it 's killing him . dylan : where is he ? abby : with max . max : am i ever gon na get out ? stitch : of course . the idea is to get you the best possible care in the best possible place . max : why ca n't i get better at home with you ? stitch : [ sighs ] this way , you have a lot more personal attention and you 'll get well faster . wo n't that be great ? and -- and hey . this facility -- i 've already checked . it 's real close by , max . i 'll be able to see you all the time . and when you 're ready , you 'll be able to come home . max : i 'm ready now , dad . stitch : that ca n't happen today , bud . max : because you do n't want me there . all you care about is being with abby ! stitch : hey , that is not true . max : mom would have never sent me away ! stitch : yeah . all right . okay . [ sighs ] i get that you 're scared and angry . but yelling and saying hurtful things wo n't help . the only way to get through this is for us to be honest with each other and face the truth . phyllis : do n't say that . billy : what ? i ca n't speak my mind ? we made love , phyllis . it was crazy and it was hot . you freaked out and you ran . so is it wrong for me to want a private moment ? phyllis : no . it 's not wrong . but we should get some things straight . billy : i 'll get a room . phyllis : stop it . we have to act as if nothing has changed , especially around jack . he has already asked me if i have feelings for you . billy : what did you say ? phyllis : i said yes , that i care about you as a friend and as jack 's brother and i 'm worried about you and that i hate to see you make mistakes that bring you so much unhappiness . billy : what happened between us did n't feel like a mistake . it felt like inevitable . phyllis : i love jack . he is my husband , and i do n't want my marriage to crumble . which is why what happened between you and me never happened . and it 'll never happen again . billy : yeah , i heard you the first time . phyllis : did you ? because i did not hear you agree . i did n't hear the words , and i really need to hear the words . i need you to promise me . please . billy : never again ? never ? phyllis : that 's right . billy : if that 's what you want , you got it . michael : sorry to interrupt . phyllis . billy . billy : what can we do for you , michael ? michael : i would like to have a private word with you . phyllis : that 's no problem . we 're done . billy : let me guess . victoria sent you because she does n't want to deal with me herself . that 's what i thought . what does she want ? michael : and that 's how victoria would like to handle all future custody arrangements . billy : so , in layman 's terms , this is victoria 's first step towards changing the agreement . michael : that is not what this is . billy : she wants to keep me away from the kids , does n't she ? michael : absolutely not , billy . she simply wants the two of you to stick to the rules that you had previously laid out . she feels that this will -- this will benefit everybody involved , especially the children . billy : you 're a good spin doctor , michael , but this is n't about the kids , is it ? michael : i assure you that this is for -- billy : this is punishment , is n't it ? she does n't like the idea of me being with another woman , even though she 's the one that ended the relationship . michael : you know it is not my place to co -- billy : so i 'm right . michael : [ sighs ] all right , you want the facts ? these are the facts . victoria does not feel that your personal lives should be intertwined any longer , allowing you both to move on . billy : wow . so this is n't about getting space between us . michael : this is about maintaining a civil discourse -- billy : this is n't about me meeting another woman . this is about keeping me out of the way of her meeting another man , is n't it ? travis : hey . tori . victoria : hi . travis : your usual ? victoria : no , i 'm not here for a drink . travis : did n't think you were , after the way you left last night . do i want to know why you 're here ? victoria : you know , i just kind of wanted to clear the air . travis : that 's just another way of saying you want to talk , is n't it ? why are you being so formal ? victoria : it 's just that 's exactly what i wanted to talk about , actually . i told you that this was supposed to be about fun , not a relationship . travis : it 's just an expression . victoria : that 's why i thought we could keep things on a first - name basis . no questions asked . that sort of thing . travis : and i broke the rules when i wanted to know your kid 's name . victoria : and , you know , you kind of crossed a line , and i , um , i just wanted to tell you that i do n't think that what happened last night can ever happen again . travis : just like that ? wait , you 're gon na walk away because i want to get to know you better ? victoria : i just have too many complications in my life right now . travis : last night was not complicated . it was ... good , right ? maybe even astronomical . maybe i 'm the kind of complication you need . we can work this out . we can . victoria : i 'm sorry . no , i - i ca n't do this . dylan : what can i do for stitch ? abby : [ sighs ] keep being his friend . like you always have been . and keep reminding him that we 're doing the right thing for max . he 's gon na need to hear that . dylan : yeah , i can do that . uh , how about i check in on you every once in awhile , make sure you 're doing okay ? abby : i 'd like that . you know , ben , max , and i , we 're all so damaged . max lost his mom , ben and i lost our baby , and now ben 's son is being taken away . it 's all so awful . dylan : if there 's anything you need ... abby : i 'm just gon na try to focus on the positive . stitch : you have been lashing out because you have n't dealt with your mother 's death . and you 've been using your pain to justify your inexcusable behavior . that 's got to stop , max . and as hard as it is to believe , everyone knows how hard this is for you . max : you do n't . you 're sending me away . stitch : hey , i 'm getting you help . just like i help lots of kids whose arms and legs are broken . these doctors , they can -- they 're gon na help you in a way i ca n't . max : you could try . stitch : i have tried , son . and i failed . i have failed you so many times , max , and i 'm not gon na do that again . you 're going to this facility . max : please ! do n't make me ! stitch : listen . and while you 're there , i hope you find a way to accept that sometimes accidents happen . sometimes people we love die . and as much as you want to blame someone , sometimes there 's no one to blame . max : why did mom have to die ? it 's no fair ! stitch : i know it 's not . max : i miss her so much . stitch : she will always be in your heart , okay ? so when you get sad or scared , all you have to do is just think of all the fun things you used to do with her . i know that 'll make you feel better . she loved you very , very much . and so do i . that 's why i want you to get better , son . then we can make lots and lots of fun memories , too , you know ? max : but what if i go and never see you again ? stitch : hey . hey . that is not gon na happen . you hear me ? we 're just gon na live in different places for a little while . but i will visit you all the time , and i will think about you every second of every day . you are my son . and i will never leave you . nick : those sage 's things ? mariah : yeah . uh , they 're just a few things that i thought you might want to keep . i 'll take care of donating the rest to charity . but i can donate this stuff , too , if you want . nick : uh , no . sharon : mariah , maybe we should put that stuff away . mariah : yeah , you know , i can just put this in a closet until you 're ready to deal with it , okay ? nick : it 's all right . sharon : nick , are you sure ? nick : yeah , i , uh ... i think i want to look through it . mariah : right now ? nick : yeah , with you and your mom here keeping me company . would that be okay ? sharon : of course . nick : this is sage 's journal . sharon : she kept a journal ? nick : yeah , i saw her writing in it a few times . she kept it pretty private . i guess now that she 's gone ... it might help me to feel closer to her . hilary : you 're still here . phyllis : you are observant . hilary : very . you waiting for jack ? phyllis : yes . hilary : well , i 'm sure he 'll be here any minute , and you can latch on to him and shower him with tons of affection . phyllis : excuse me ? hilary : well , jack was telling me that he was worried about things at home , and i could n't help observing that you were clearly overcompensating earlier . but are you sure that that 's how you want to fix your little problem ? phyllis : my marriage is none of your business . hilary : i - i did n't mean to overstep . i 'm sorry . phyllis : yeah , you did . hilary : i 'm not trying to get in the middle of anything , phyllis , i swear . jack was just there for me when i had some family problems recently , and i was just trying to return the favor . phyllis : okay , i do n't need your advice or want it . you keep your mouth shut , or i 'll shut it for you . [ footsteps approach ] phyllis : hi , darling . jack : ladies . phyllis : how 'd the meeting go ? jack : meeting could not have gone better , thanks to hilary . hilary : oh , i ca n't take all of the credit . we were totally in sync . all right , well , um , i better go get some work done , huh ? jack : all right . thanks again . hilary : thank you . phyllis : you were talking to that woman about our relationship ? nick : this is just after christian died . `` i can barely leave the couch . just hearing nick say christian 's name is like a knife through my heart . i dream about christian practically every night . i do n't know how to move forward from losing my baby when i still feel his presence so intensely . `` sharon : nick , maybe it 's a little bit too soon for this . nick : it 's a lot to process . sharon : of course it is . you know what ? let 's -- let 's just pack up all this stuff and put it away in a closet like mariah said . nick : no , i think i 'm gon na keep this with me . mariah : i 'm so sorry , nick . i did n't mean to upset you . i just thought this is stuff that you 'd want to hold on to . nick : no , no , i 'm glad you found it . and , uh , thank you for bringing it to me . there 's a lot of entries about christian in here . i think i 'll , uh , finish this later . sharon : no . i mean , i just -- i think you should be with family when you read it . nick : [ voice breaking ] i think i want to be alone . i hope you understand . sharon : yes , i do . nick : thanks for bringing this . thank you . mariah : of course . sharon : god , i wish you 'd never found that thing ! max : you might not want to , but maybe you can come with dad and visit me . abby : i will . stitch : we 're ready . should we go ? i 'm sorry , but you ca n't come , dr. rayburn . max : dad ? stitch : hey . do n't worry . it 'll be fine . you 'll be fine . when can i see him ? once he 's settled . stitch : that means soon . real soon . you 'll be in good hands . it 'll be okay . max : i love you , daddy . stitch : i love you , too , son . [ sighs ] jack : i have not divulged the details of our marriage to hilary . phyllis : she did n't make it sound like that . jack : the last time we fought , maybe i alluded to there being a bumpy road , nothing more . that is all . phyllis : are you sure ? i hate that we fought . more than you know . jack : so do i . phyllis : you do n't need to go to hilary to discuss your feelings when you want to talk . i 'm right here . there 's no room for anyone else in this relationship . victoria : [ sighs ] you know , you really got to stop making yourself at home in my office . billy : had a delivery to make . victoria : what is that ? billy : [ sighs ] signed document stating that i will follow the custody agreement to the letter . even had it notarized because you want everything by the book , right ? victoria : yeah , that 's right . and it 'll make things a lot cleaner if we solely focus on our children and formally agree to stay out of each other 's personal lives . billy : that 's what i was thinking . so now i 'm free to be with who i want , and you 're free to be with who you want . that your lady you were talking to ? women . drive you crazy . am i right ? travis : got that right . this one 's making me nuts . i 've seen you here before . gin and tonic , please .

[ sighs ] dylan : what i hate about this , it 's got my best friend seriously doubting himself as a father . stitch is a good guy . all he wanted to do was believe in his kid . paul : yeah , well , sometimes seeing your child for who he really is , it 's easier said than done . trust me . i know . mariah : why are you getting all upset about sage 's journal ? sharon : i 'm just concerned about nick 's emotional wellbeing . mariah : no , that 's not it . there 's something else going on . what do you think is written in there ?

sheridan : sure . antonio : ok , it 'll just take a second . sheridan : ok . antonio : i 'm really worried about my wife . gwen : did something happen ? antonio : yes and no . i mean , she 's been stressed out now for weeks , but after last night , i do n't know , something happened last night that triggered her feeling worse than she already was . i do n't know what it is . gwen : i see . antonio : and instead of me badgering her about it any more than i already have been , i was thinking , you being her best friend and all , maybe you could talk to her , get her to confide in you a little . gwen : sure . i mean , i 'll do what i can . antonio : ok . i appreciate it . i will have you know , though , that we do know that there is someone after her . gwen : the person who set fire to the cottage ? antonio : yeah , we almost caught up to her last night . gwen : it 's a woman ? antonio : yeah . yeah , so we think . she actually confronted sheridan last night on the wharf , but she did n't get a chance to do any harm , and by the time we got there , the lady got away , so -- gwen : oh , my gosh . antonio : yeah . so you see , she has all kinds of reasons to be stressed out . it 's just -- i do n't know , she has n't eaten , she has n't slept . you know , gwen , i love her so much . it 's just i hate to see her in any kind of pain . maybe after you talk to her , you can figure out what it is , ok ? gwen : i 'll do my best . antonio : all right , i really appreciate it . thanks . listen , sheridan , i 've got an errand that i need to run , so maybe gwen will stay here and just kind of visit with you , cheer you up a little . what do you say ? sheridan : i 'll be ok , antonio . ststop worrying about me . antonio : i hope so . when i get back , maybe you and i can sit down . i was thinking we could help luis and beth , you know , do their wedding plans . and with her being pregnant and everything , it 's about time they tied the knot , do n't you think ? sheridan : yeah . antonio : all right . thanks again . sheridan : gwen , what am i going to do ? gwen : oh , sweetie . pilar : wow . beth , pregnant with your child . luis : yeah . yeah , i just found out last night . pilar : oh , dios mio . all my sons are going to be fathers . if your father were here , he 'd be so proud . luis : mama ? come on , it 's not that simple . pilar : of course . right , sheridan . does she know ? luis : she overheard beth telling me last night . i mean , it was awful . i could n't even go to her and explain -- pilar : you poor thing . luis : you should have seen the look on her face . it was like i slapped her , and i was all set to tell antonio the truth about me and sheridan once and for all . i even vowed not to let anything stop me , and then this . pilar : i 'm so sorry for your pain , mijo . babies are such miraculous gifts , you know ? and the months before their arrival should be a happy time , full of hopes and dreams . luis : and that 's how i feel about sheridan 's baby , and i do n't even know if it 's antonio 's or mine . pilar : right , and now , with beth being pregnant , you and sheridan ca n't be together . luis : and i do n't know if i can bear that . that 's why i came to you . is that what this baby means ?

pilar : no , luis . i am grateful that you came to me for counsel . luis : i just did n't know where else to turn . and i know what father lonigan would say , but -- what about papa ? what would he have done in this situation ? pilar : well , one thing i do know is your father would never shy away from his responsibilities . that 's why i know something happened to take him away from us because he would never , ever have abandoned this family . oh , my god . i have prayed for your father 's safe return every day . we need him so much , luis , especially now . the candle that i kept lit for antonio brought him home to us . if only your father 's candle would do the same . luis : i want to be a good father to that baby that beth 's going to have . pilar : what does she say ? i mean , she has to know how you feel about sheridan . luis : yeah , she 's struggling , too . she offered to have an abortion . pilar : what ? you would never permit that , right , luis ? you would never let beth abort your own child . beth : oh . i always wanted one of these . but there 's no way we can afford it . we can barely keep up with the mortgage , much less having any of these luxury items . all right , mother , just wrap them up and find out who we call for a pickup . mrs. wallace : but i do n't know even where they came from . beth : right . mother , just get them out of here , will you ?

you never told me what you 're making that thing for . beth : ok . this is a critical part of my plan . mrs. wallace : well , what does charlie think of it ? i mean , have you told your little partner there about your revised plan ?

[ mrs. wallace guffaws ] mrs. wallace : that 's what dr . frankenstein said to somebody that he knew . beth : yeah . shut up , mother . mrs. wallace : do n't forget , missy . you 're the one who knocked charlie out and left her there on that wharf . i do n't think she 's going to be in the best mood when she sees you again , so i 'd watch your back if i were you . charlie : oh . oh . oh , am i -- i tripped over the old battle - ax 's walker , but -- who knocked me out cold after that ? why did beth leave me here alone all night ? i 'm going to get to the bottom of this . yessiree . you can bet your combat boots i am .

i mean , you must admit there 's something in the water around here to have so many people we know pregnant at the same time . gwen : so , how are you feeling ? antonio : before you answer that , you mind if i have a moment alone with gwen ? sheridan : sure . antonio : ok , it 'll just take a second . sheridan : ok . antonio : i 'm really worried about my wife . gwen : did something happen ? antonio : yes and no . i mean , she 's been stressed out now for weeks , but after last night , i do n't know , something happened last night that triggered her feeling worse than she already was . i do n't know what it is . gwen : i see . antonio : and instead of me badgering her about it any more than i already have been , i was thinking , you being her best friend and all , maybe you could talk to her , get her to confide in you a little . gwen : sure . i mean , i 'll do what i can . antonio : ok . i appreciate it . i will have you know , though , that we do know that there is someone after her . gwen : the person who set fire to the cottage ? antonio : yeah , we almost caught up to her last night . gwen : it 's a woman ? antonio : yeah . yeah , so we think . she actually confronted sheridan last night on the wharf , but she did n't get a chance to do any harm , and by the time we got there , the lady got away , so -- gwen : oh , my gosh . antonio : yeah . so you see , she has all kinds of reasons to be stressed out . it 's just -- i do n't know , she has n't eaten , she has n't slept . you know , gwen , i love her so much . it 's just i hate to see her in any kind of pain . maybe after you talk to her , you can figure out what it is , ok ? gwen : i 'll do my best . antonio : all right , i really appreciate it . thanks . listen , sheridan , i 've got an errand that i need to run , so maybe gwen will stay here and just kind of visit with you , cheer you up a little . what do you say ? sheridan : i 'll be ok , antonio . ststop worrying about me . antonio : i hope so . when i get back , maybe you and i can sit down . i was thinking we could help luis and beth , you know , do their wedding plans . and with her being pregnant and everything , it 's about time they tied the knot , do n't you think ?

and the months before their arrival should be a happy time , full of hopes and dreams . luis : and that 's how i feel about sheridan 's baby , and i do n't even know if it 's antonio 's or mine . pilar : right , and now , with beth being pregnant , you and sheridan ca n't be together . luis : and i do n't know if i can bear that . that 's why i came to you . is that what this baby means ?

pilar : no , luis . i am grateful that you came to me for counsel . luis : i just did n't know where else to turn . and i know what father lonigan would say , but -- what about papa ? what would he have done in this situation ? pilar : well , one thing i do know is your father would never shy away from his responsibilities . that 's why i know something happened to take him away from us because he would never , ever have abandoned this family . oh , my god . i have prayed for your father 's safe return every day . we need him so much , luis , especially now . the candle that i kept lit for antonio brought him home to us . if only your father 's candle would do the same . luis : i want to be a good father to that baby that beth 's going to have . pilar : what does she say ? i mean , she has to know how you feel about sheridan . luis : yeah , she 's struggling , too . she offered to have an abortion . pilar : what ? you would never permit that , right , luis ? you would never let beth abort your own child . beth : oh . i always wanted one of these . but there 's no way we can afford it . we can barely keep up with the mortgage , much less having any of these luxury items . all right , mother , just wrap them up and find out who we call for a pickup . mrs. wallace : but i do n't know even where they came from . beth : right . mother , just get them out of here , will you ?

[ footsteps stomping ] [ mattie laughs ] renee : i ca n't believe a place as exclusive as this allows that sort of behavior . cane : [ sighs ] um , hopefully their mom will take them home soon and put them to bed . renee : it 's just rude . where are the parents ? i hope they know what kind of children they 're raising . cane : you know what ? um ... i know exactly what sort of kids i 'm raising , because i 'm their father . renee : they 're yours ? cane : yeah . they 're mine . lily : what are you doing ? ! cane : and i 'm really happy to hear them laughing , because tonight i was meant to be at a play that i missed because i 'm here trying to close this deal with you . so i 'm sorry if you think they 're rude . but those kids , they are my heart and they are my soul . mariah : kevin , you really do n't have to do that . there 's no point . kevin : you 're worried about sharon . mariah : the threat is gone ! kevin : i 'm just gon na check it out to make sure . ca n't hurt , right ? if it 's a legit contractor , which it probably is , great . but if it 's someone else , we nail them . okay , one more window . [ computer keys clacking ] kevin : here we go . we 're in . damn . mariah : what ? kevin : the warrant to the phone log expired . i just hit a legal brick wall . mariah : darn . and you were so close . paul : patty ? i 'm really sorry . i did n't mean to upset you . but i have some news that , uh , hopefully you 'll like . the doctor has suggested a new course of treatment . patty : no art . no more art . paul : no , it 's okay . no more paintings . we 're gon na move you to a new facility , one closer to home . patty : move ? paul : yeah . see , the doctor thinks that they 'll be able to serve your needs better at this new facility . and i 'll be able to visit more often . you like that , right ? patty : how -- how will i get there ? i - i came here on a bus with bars , and i did n't like it . paul : that 's okay . i will arrange for transport , okay ? it 's one of the benefits when you have your brother as chief of police . i 'll have a deputy pick you up , and he will drop you off at your new home . patty : i do n't know . paul : it 's okay , patty . i know you do n't like your routine disturbed , but ... it 's the doctor 's recommendation that this is going to help you get better . and i want that more than anything . it 's a good thing . patty : if -- if you think it 's okay , i 'll -- i 'll do it , paulie . i 'll do it . paul : i do . chloe : of course , i would never hurt the feelings of a man who immortalized his feelings into a pumpkin . chelsea : i know . i 'm sorry . it 's just that kevin is so ... hopeful . chloe : i know . but it 's a good thing , right ? to hope that things will get better ? chelsea : yeah , i guess you have a point . chloe : you know , maybe you could find your hope soon , too ? chelsea : um , only if adam walked through that door and i wake up from this nightmare to find him sleeping next to me . chloe : i was thinking more like the hope that your future , yours and connor 's , is still ahead of you and not stuck in some , you know , picture frames that are lying around the condo . chelsea : i 'm sorry . are you accusing me of wallowing ? chloe : no , of course not . i know what you and adam shared was -- was incredibly special . chelsea : so is there some kind of clock on it , like time 's up ? i 'm supposed to get rid of all the photos and jump on some dating website and pretend the life we had never existed ? chloe : chelsea , i 'm not trying to hurt your feelings , okay ? i just do n't want to see you alone forever . chelsea : okay , chloe , it 's way too soon to be having this conversation . chloe : look , maybe -- maybe it is . all right , you need to take the time that you need , but , you know , some day soon , you are going to have to think about starting a new future for you and for connor . it 's very important -- chelsea : okay , and this new future for me and connor , why is it so damn important that we forget about adam ? chloe : i am so sorry . chelsea : you know , i 'm just gon na check on connor . chloe : no , no , no . please -- please do n't . okay , i just said a bunch of stupid stuff , and i just let it fall out of my mouth . and listen , i know that you might not be ready , okay ? and that is totally fine . i am not saying that you need to erase everything that you shared with adam . it 's not what i 'm saying . and what 's happening with kevin right now -- chelsea : is great for you . and , chloe , i am happy for you . but do n't presume to tell me what 's right for me . chloe : i get it . i crossed the line . all i 'm trying to say is that me and bella , it was like us against the world , and i was okay with that for a while . you know , but now that i 'm ready to let kevin in ... i have someone to share our world with , share her with . you know , we laugh when she says `` i wub you `` and when she giggles . i mean , she giggles when he just gives her a pony ride and ... i have realized that being with kevin , my world is bigger and better and happier . but it 's better for bella , too . and i just want that for you . i want that for you and for connor . you need to find someone who wants to share how amazing you both are . i love you , and i 'm -- i 'm so sorry if i pushed too hard and if i said too much . chelsea : i know you just want us to be happy . chloe : so you forgive me ? chelsea : for saying whatever the hell pops into your head and spending way too much time worrying about me ? yes , i forgive you . chloe : good , 'cause i was kind of getting worried there for a minute . chelsea : you need to understand , adam was everything to me . so just because my husband is n't here anymore , it 's never gon na change . kevin : you want some cider or a cookie ? mariah : oh , no . i am all cidered and cookie 'd out . kevin : what if we split a piece of apple pie ? my treat . mariah : did you not eat your dinner ? kevin : no , i ate dinner . mariah : okay , did you skip dessert ? kevin : what ? no , i mean , no . i - i -- no , i did not have dessert . i just , uh , just feeling good . fall is in the air . i love this time of year . mariah : and there 's your new fashion sense . kevin : ha . this old thing ? mariah : did you get dressed in the dark ? i mean , sorry , it 's kind of girly . kevin : well , that 's because it 's , uh , it 's not mine . it 's chloe 's . i sort of borrowed it . mariah : and you borrowed a shirt because you spilled wine on yours ? kevin : nope . mariah : oh . yes . of course . chloe and you . and you 're here in her shirt in a good mood . lily : since when do i have to tell you the rules ? running around disturbing other guests is not okay ! and on top of that , your dad is trying to work . mattie : that 's all he ever does . lily : okay , you know what ? this attitude has to stop right now . your daddy works really hard so we can have a great life . he 's a superhero just like in your comic books . cane : hey , hey , hey , hey . there 's only one superhero in this family . you know what ? it 's also the glue that holds us together , and that 's your mommy . and now i want to hear all about the halloween play that i missed . but first , i want a big hug from my superstars . come here . lily : i thought you had a deal to close . cane : i 'm closing it right now . i love you guys . paul : sorry to interrupt the homecoming . sharon : we were just catching up . dylan : have a seat . paul : oh , thanks . i wo n't stay long . i just stopped by to tell you that patty is being moved from stonevale . sharon : really ? dylan : where to ? paul : rivercrest . sharon : but that 's so close . paul : yeah , it 's gon na be a lot easier to see her . sharon : but why are they moving her ? paul : well , uh , i guess the short answer is her behavior has become more erratic and the doctor feels that at rivercrest they 'll be able to help her more . sharon : what about security ? she 's been known to be an escape artist . paul : you do n't have to worry about that . rivercrest is a state - of - the - art facility . she wo n't be a problem . dylan : did you , uh , get a chance to talk to patty ? paul : i did , and , uh ... she said something that surprised me . fairview came up . and she said that she helped you there . you helped each other . does that mean anything to you ? sharon : i have no idea . you know , she -- she was a little obsessed with me . but helped me ? um , no . does n't make any sense . paul : she did paint a picture of you pregnant . sharon : well , maybe she just got tired of painting cats . you know , i - i hate to say this , paul , but , um , patty does n't have a great grip on reality . is n't there a strong possibility that this is all part of some fantasy ? paul : of course , it 's possible . it 's just that she said there were ... bad people at fairview . i 'm assuming she meant dr. anderson . and maybe at least in her own mind , she believed that somehow she was helping you , maybe protecting you from dr. anderson . kevin : i was n't even expecting that it was gon na happen . it just ... did . and it 's not just the -- you know , chloe and i are really starting to connect the way we used to , but in a different way . it 's so great . you know , enough about that . let me at least get you a coffee . mariah : no , i should get going back to the house . kevin : and interrupt the whole sharon / dylan reunion ? mariah : make it a hot chocolate and you 're on . kevin : you got it . mariah : kevin . kevin : yeah ? mariah : i 'm really happy for you . and chloe . i know what this means to you . kevin : thanks . hey , can i have two hot chocolates and a s 'm ores cookie , please ? chloe : hey . kevin : hey . chloe : what 's going on ? kevin : i just thought i would give you a call , say good night . chloe : aww , that 's sweet . you know , i was just talking about you . kevin : how funny . i was just talking about you . cane : oh , mattie , you are the cutest witch i 've ever seen , baby ! mattie : i 'm supposed to be scary . cane : ooh ! [ laughter ] cane : and , charlie , look at you . you are the mummy , man ! the mummy ! [ laughter ] renee : i hate to interrupt . cane : i thought you were going back to the hotel . renee : i am . but i wanted you to know i 'm putting through my company 's order first thing in the morning . cane : i thought i blew the deal . renee : brash & sassy does n't just have an amazing product . you are the kind of people i want to be in business with , cane . your dad is quite a guy . lily : congratulations ! cane : go figure , huh ? lily : yeah , i guess whatever you said sealed the deal . [ chuckles ] dylan : and we know that patty had complicated feelings about dr. anderson . paul : complicated enough for her to kill her . dylan : how could she even , in her delusional state , think that sharon needed protection from her own doctor ? sharon : yeah , dylan 's right . dr. anderson helped me so much . i never felt afraid of her . i never felt like i was in any danger . dylan : yeah , and sharon was out of fairview way before dr. anderson was killed , so it does n't make any sense that protecting sharon was the motive . paul : [ sighs ] dylan : i do n't know , paul . maybe patty 's trying to create some sort of logic to make sense of her own world and just deal with that guilt . i 'm sorry . paul : what are you gon na do ? does n't get any easier . anyway , i 've said what i came to say , so , uh , i 'll get out of your hair and let you get back to your homecoming . dylan : all right . well , thank you for the update . paul : yeah . give sully and faith a kiss for me , will you ? dylan : you can count on that . paul : all right . dylan : see ya . hey , you okay ? sharon : yeah . this just was n't the homecoming i had in mind . dylan : lucky for you , i remember exactly where we left off . dr. anderson : you know how far someone will go for love , do n't you ? patty : shoot them once or twice , maybe ? pretend to be someone else , but -- no . wait . no . no , no , no . you took a baby . an innocent little sweet pea . i have to tell them the truth . i do , doc . dr. anderson : i 'm sorry , patty , but you wo n't be telling anyone . [ gasps ] no ! do n't ! stop ! stop ! [ grunts ] patty : [ breathing heavily ] [ dr. anderson screams ] patty : and if that horse and cart fall down you 'll still be the sweetest little baby in town [ next_on ] phyllis : what the hell is going on ? ! jack : remove this man from the premises . billy : i 'm here to stop you , jack , from going down the same path i did . jill : i did n't authorize any new deals ! cane : i did . curtis : the fbi may be getting involved . we have a right to know the truth , victor .

[ laughs ] nobody 's there ! [ laughing ] get it ? paul : you want to talk about your paintings ? they 're very beautiful . patty : no . i do n't paint anymore . no more painting . paul : you know , when i look at them , a lot of them remind me of your time at fairview . like , there was one where you painted dr. anderson . and , uh , i remember another one where you painted a pregnant lady . i thought it was sharon , because she was at fairview the same time you were . and you knew each other . i thought maybe you became friends . patty : secret . paul : you have a secret ? you want to tell me about it ? patty : soooo many secrets . i paint them . i paint my secrets . paul : what kind of secrets , patty ? patty : the best kind . dylan : just give me the phone . we 'll block the number . sharon : that wo n't work . you know , those phone calls never come from the same number twice . dylan : sharon , it ca n't hurt , right ?

dylan : well , uh , the phone rang and you froze . sharon : [ sighs ] just for a teeny second . and then it was over . i mean , i know there 's nothing to worry about , dylan , especially because you 're here now . you know , it 's gon na be a chilly night . i was thinking about getting an extra blanket for sully . maybe you would like to do that . dylan : yeah , i 'll do that . this conversation 's far from over . mariah : patty ? how did she get ahold of another phone ? sharon : i was n't able to ask her that . mariah : well , what does she want ? what 'd she say ? sharon : she wanted to know what the plan is . she threatened to tell dylan . what am i gon na do ?

lily : so , who 's ready for sundaes ? neil : yes ! lily : huh ? mattie : is n't daddy coming over ? lily : honey , daddy is in the middle of a very important meeting , okay ? he 'll come when he can . but we have to respect his work time right now . neil : yeah , that 's right . if he does n't work , he 's not gon na be able to buy you toys . charlie : i guess so . lily : how about this ? why do n't you guys go wash up ? and by the time you get back , your sundaes will be here , okay ? neil : go on , guys . lily : and make sure you wait for each other . neil : you handled that beautifully . lily : what 's to handle ? cane has to work . it is what it is . neil : i understand . you 're obviously very frustrated . this was an important night for the kids . cane missed it . lily : well , it 's the new normal . he rarely gets home before the twins are in bed . i even took them and their pumpkins to his office just so they could have some quality time . and then look at tonight . he promised that he would see their performance , but he missed it because he 's having another business meeting . neil : cane has you and the kids always , all right ? you got to trust that he 's gon na find his way . maybe with a little assist from you . lily : i know he 's working hard for us . but this play is all the twins have talked about for weeks . and he missed it . i do n't know what to do . i do n't know how to fix this . i mean , how do i fix this ? chelsea : hey . chloe : hi . well , at least connor did n't wake up to witness that . chelsea : oh , no , that is one sleepy kid . usually bedtime is a struggle , but he went down without a fight . you know what ? let me finish cleaning up so you can get back to your date night . kevin : [ sighs ] found this in one of your drawers . hope it 's all right . chloe : well , fits better than the pink blanket look . kevin : [ sighs ] i think i should get going . chelsea : whoa , whoa . listen , do not leave on my account . just , you know , try to keep your clothes on when we 're in the same room . that 's -- that 's all . kevin : i am running out of ways to apologize . chelsea : [ chuckles ] it 's fine . next time just , you know , put a tie on the door . kevin : well , that was fun . chloe : so ... stay . kevin : very tempting , but i do n't want to screw this up . chloe : it 's not possible . kevin : you are amazing and gorgeous . and it 's time for me to say good night . chloe : what about your shirt ? kevin : well , now i have an excuse to come back . i 'll call you tomorrow . chloe : you better . we got a bottle of wine to finish . kevin : oh , yeah . chloe : [ chuckles ] mariah : do you really think that 's gon na help ? sharon : mm - hmm . it 's helping already . mariah : sharon , listen , we -- dylan : [ sighs ] kid ca n't sleep without this . [ toy winds up ] mariah : patty is not going to call and spill the secret . because if she does , the deal 's off . goodbye , freedom . and that 's all that she wants . sharon : so all i have to do is dangle freedom in front of her . mariah : and your secret will be safe . sharon : maybe you 're right . patty 's not stupid . thanks for talking me down . you know , we just have to hope that patty gets sent far , far away . maybe everything really will be all right . dylan : that did the trick . sully 's sleeping like a ... baby . guess he 's almost too old to call him that , huh ? i mean , it 's hard to believe that it 's almost been a whole year . mariah : well , there 's a glass of wine waiting for you . i 'm gon na go meet a friend because i 'm sure you two want to catch up on some alone time . dylan : yeah , uh , mariah , hold on . i was hoping that we could finish our discussion about patty . mariah : i thought we had . dylan : no , we did n't . you see , i 'm still a little hazy on how you made the leap from an anonymous caller to a woman who 's locked in a psychiatric hospital . what secrets , patty ? can you clarify for your brother ? paul : you know what ? it 's all right , patty . you do n't have to tell me what they are . but can we talk about sharon and the time you spent with her ? we do n't have to talk about secrets . just tell me what you remember . we start there ? that 's right . she was pregnant . patty : sitting on a nest . paul : mm - hmm . do you remember anything else about her ? patty ? patty : she helped me . i helped her . so very , very much . paul : how ? patty ? patty : dr. anderson was very , very bad . [ humming `` hush little baby `` ] patty , can you answer your brother ? can -- can you be more specific ? patty : [ humming continues ] she was very , very , very bad ! she was very bad ! aah ! aah ! paul : okay , did dr. anderson do something that upset you ? tell me about it . patty : [ humming ] paul : is that why you killed her , patty ? because you found out that she did something very , very bad ? patty . patty : [ screams ] do n't touch me . do n't touch me . no more touching . no . just get me out of here ! get me out of here ! get me out of here ! paul : orderly ! get the hell in here ! sharon : you just got home . enough with the questions . let mariah go and see her friend . we can talk about this some other time . mariah : really , i 've told you everything i can . dylan : are you sure ? because it just feels like that something is missing . and if we go over it again , maybe i can figure it out . sharon : or maybe you can just relax here with your wife and have some wine , and i can tell you all about the pumpkin patch and the jack o'lantern carving . dylan : yeah , i - i would love to hear about all that . but , mariah -- sharon : wait . `` but `` what ? okay , you know , having an anonymous caller harassing me , that was scary . and patty was a theory . mariah went and checked it out because she was concerned . why did patty paint me ? i do n't know . who knows what 's in that woman 's head ? she had a dead cat named mr. kitty she kept as a pet . dylan : okay . the interrogation portion of this evening is now over . mariah : [ sighs ] sharon : good . 'cause we have a lot of other important things we can discuss . dylan : [ chuckles ] mariah : all right . that is my cue to leave . i will see you guys later . dylan : i hope i did n't make you late . mariah : no , it 's all good . dylan : mariah . uh , thank you for everything you did . you know , stonevale was a wild goose chase . at least you tried . mariah : i 'd do anything for my mom . dylan : [ sighs ] sharon : do you hear that ? dylan : what ? sharon : silence . two sweet , little cuties upstairs dreaming sweet dreams . you , me , and wine . welcome home , detective mcavoy . dylan : this detective is officially off duty . patty : you ca n't do this . you ca n't do this . i need to be free ! no ! dr. powell : you 're all right . paul : dr. powell , we were making progress . dr. powell : unfortunately , patty 's mood swings have gotten more unpredictable . paul : well , fairview is definitely a trigger for her , dr. anderson . and sharon , for some reason . dr. powell : as difficult as the paintings are to decipher , they do indicate serious psychological trauma . paul : how do we get to the trauma ? we need to find out what happened . dr. powell : i 'm not sure we ever will . but i have outlined a new plan of treatment , and i hope you can look at it with an open mind . paul : are you serious ? chelsea : oh . you could n't convince kevin to stay ? chloe : well , i tried , but apparently i 'm amazing and he still needed to go . chelsea : ah . i hope connor and i did n't crash your party . chloe : no , of course not . this is your house . come on . and it 's probably for the best . chelsea : for the best . right . 'cause he wants to go slow ? what i saw tonight was not slow . chloe : well , that was my idea . the naked part , of course . chelsea : so , am i allowed to use the `` d `` word ? you guys are officially dating ? chloe : ooh . chelsea : i 'm happy for you . and if i can just say it ... chloe : like i can stop you . chelsea : it is about time . kevin adores you . he always has . you know that . chloe : i just want to make sure i knew how i felt . you know , there is being with someone because you have feelings for them , real feelings , and then there 's being with someone because it 's just familiar , it 's comfortable . chelsea : so , do you think it can become something serious ? chloe : well , he wants to take one step at a time , and i 'm good with that . chelsea : because you do n't want to mess it up or because you 're still not sure ? chloe : we 're keeping it fresh , you know ? easy . chelsea : okay . which just seems -- it seems like it 's very casual to you , and you know kevin does n't think of it that way . the way that he looks at you , the way that he talks about you , you 're the love of his life , chloe . so if you 're not in this for the same reasons as him , i ... i would just hate to see him get hurt . kevin : mariah ! mariah : hey . kevin : hey . how 's nick doing ? mariah : he 's fine , except for the very large lump you left on his head . kevin : yeah , i really am sorry about that . good news , though . there 's no stalker , right ? mariah : yay for that . kevin : what 's wrong ? mariah : nothing . kevin : except ? mariah : i 'm just here to get out of the house . kevin : why ? mariah : dylan came home . kevin : that 's good , is n't it ? mariah : totally . it 's just , um , sharon got a telemarketer call . kind of freaked her out and reminded everybody of the stalker drama . i just was n't in the mood for that . kevin : can i help ? mariah : what the hell are you doing ? [ chuckles ] you 're asking me questions , trying to be all helpful ? stop it . kevin : you could use help . i 'm happy to do it . mariah : now you 're just starting to creep me out . kevin : the call -- let me look into it . mariah : no , absolutely not . kevin : maybe it was n't a telemarketer . mariah : forget it , kevin , please . kevin : let me check it out just in case . it 'll be fun . mariah : i know you 're into that sort of weird thing , but really , it 's -- it 's fine . kevin : it 'll take two seconds . dylan got a warrant to track sharon 's phone records before he left town . i log in , i hit a few keys , we will know exactly who called sharon and from where . cane : bare by brash & sassy , it is hot , it is fresh , it is buzz - worthy , and the perfect way for your company to establish its online presence . renee : you have done your homework . cane : yes , i have . tell me we have a deal . [ footsteps stomping ] [ mattie laughs ] renee : i ca n't believe a place as exclusive as this allows that sort of behavior . cane : [ sighs ] um , hopefully their mom will take them home soon and put them to bed . renee : it 's just rude . where are the parents ? i hope they know what kind of children they 're raising . cane : you know what ? um ... i know exactly what sort of kids i 'm raising , because i 'm their father . renee : they 're yours ? cane : yeah . they 're mine . lily : what are you doing ? ! cane : and i 'm really happy to hear them laughing , because tonight i was meant to be at a play that i missed because i 'm here trying to close this deal with you . so i 'm sorry if you think they 're rude . but those kids , they are my heart and they are my soul . mariah : kevin , you really do n't have to do that . there 's no point . kevin : you 're worried about sharon . mariah : the threat is gone ! kevin : i 'm just gon na check it out to make sure . ca n't hurt , right ? if it 's a legit contractor , which it probably is , great . but if it 's someone else , we nail them . okay , one more window . [ computer keys clacking ] kevin : here we go . we 're in . damn . mariah : what ? kevin : the warrant to the phone log expired . i just hit a legal brick wall . mariah : darn . and you were so close . paul : patty ? i 'm really sorry . i did n't mean to upset you . but i have some news that , uh , hopefully you 'll like . the doctor has suggested a new course of treatment . patty : no art . no more art . paul : no , it 's okay . no more paintings . we 're gon na move you to a new facility , one closer to home . patty : move ? paul : yeah . see , the doctor thinks that they 'll be able to serve your needs better at this new facility . and i 'll be able to visit more often . you like that , right ? patty : how -- how will i get there ? i - i came here on a bus with bars , and i did n't like it . paul : that 's okay . i will arrange for transport , okay ? it 's one of the benefits when you have your brother as chief of police . i 'll have a deputy pick you up , and he will drop you off at your new home . patty : i do n't know . paul : it 's okay , patty . i know you do n't like your routine disturbed , but ... it 's the doctor 's recommendation that this is going to help you get better . and i want that more than anything . it 's a good thing . patty : if -- if you think it 's okay , i 'll -- i 'll do it , paulie . i 'll do it . paul : i do . chloe : of course , i would never hurt the feelings of a man who immortalized his feelings into a pumpkin . chelsea : i know . i 'm sorry . it 's just that kevin is so ... hopeful . chloe : i know . but it 's a good thing , right ? to hope that things will get better ? chelsea : yeah , i guess you have a point . chloe : you know , maybe you could find your hope soon , too ? chelsea : um , only if adam walked through that door and i wake up from this nightmare to find him sleeping next to me . chloe : i was thinking more like the hope that your future , yours and connor 's , is still ahead of you and not stuck in some , you know , picture frames that are lying around the condo . chelsea : i 'm sorry . are you accusing me of wallowing ? chloe : no , of course not . i know what you and adam shared was -- was incredibly special . chelsea : so is there some kind of clock on it , like time 's up ? i 'm supposed to get rid of all the photos and jump on some dating website and pretend the life we had never existed ? chloe : chelsea , i 'm not trying to hurt your feelings , okay ? i just do n't want to see you alone forever . chelsea : okay , chloe , it 's way too soon to be having this conversation . chloe : look , maybe -- maybe it is . all right , you need to take the time that you need , but , you know , some day soon , you are going to have to think about starting a new future for you and for connor . it 's very important -- chelsea : okay , and this new future for me and connor , why is it so damn important that we forget about adam ? chloe : i am so sorry . chelsea : you know , i 'm just gon na check on connor . chloe : no , no , no . please -- please do n't . okay , i just said a bunch of stupid stuff , and i just let it fall out of my mouth . and listen , i know that you might not be ready , okay ? and that is totally fine . i am not saying that you need to erase everything that you shared with adam . it 's not what i 'm saying . and what 's happening with kevin right now -- chelsea : is great for you . and , chloe , i am happy for you . but do n't presume to tell me what 's right for me . chloe : i get it . i crossed the line . all i 'm trying to say is that me and bella , it was like us against the world , and i was okay with that for a while . you know , but now that i 'm ready to let kevin in ... i have someone to share our world with , share her with . you know , we laugh when she says `` i wub you `` and when she giggles . i mean , she giggles when he just gives her a pony ride and ... i have realized that being with kevin , my world is bigger and better and happier . but it 's better for bella , too . and i just want that for you . i want that for you and for connor . you need to find someone who wants to share how amazing you both are . i love you , and i 'm -- i 'm so sorry if i pushed too hard and if i said too much . chelsea : i know you just want us to be happy . chloe : so you forgive me ? chelsea : for saying whatever the hell pops into your head and spending way too much time worrying about me ? yes , i forgive you . chloe : good , 'cause i was kind of getting worried there for a minute . chelsea : you need to understand , adam was everything to me . so just because my husband is n't here anymore , it 's never gon na change . kevin : you want some cider or a cookie ? mariah : oh , no . i am all cidered and cookie 'd out . kevin : what if we split a piece of apple pie ? my treat . mariah : did you not eat your dinner ? kevin : no , i ate dinner . mariah : okay , did you skip dessert ? kevin : what ? no , i mean , no . i - i -- no , i did not have dessert . i just , uh , just feeling good . fall is in the air . i love this time of year . mariah : and there 's your new fashion sense . kevin : ha . this old thing ? mariah : did you get dressed in the dark ? i mean , sorry , it 's kind of girly . kevin : well , that 's because it 's , uh , it 's not mine . it 's chloe 's . i sort of borrowed it . mariah : and you borrowed a shirt because you spilled wine on yours ? kevin : nope . mariah : oh . yes . of course . chloe and you . and you 're here in her shirt in a good mood . lily : since when do i have to tell you the rules ? running around disturbing other guests is not okay ! and on top of that , your dad is trying to work . mattie : that 's all he ever does . lily : okay , you know what ? this attitude has to stop right now . your daddy works really hard so we can have a great life . he 's a superhero just like in your comic books . cane : hey , hey , hey , hey . there 's only one superhero in this family . you know what ? it 's also the glue that holds us together , and that 's your mommy . and now i want to hear all about the halloween play that i missed . but first , i want a big hug from my superstars . come here . lily : i thought you had a deal to close . cane : i 'm closing it right now . i love you guys . paul : sorry to interrupt the homecoming . sharon : we were just catching up . dylan : have a seat . paul : oh , thanks . i wo n't stay long . i just stopped by to tell you that patty is being moved from stonevale . sharon : really ? dylan : where to ? paul : rivercrest . sharon : but that 's so close . paul : yeah , it 's gon na be a lot easier to see her . sharon : but why are they moving her ? paul : well , uh , i guess the short answer is her behavior has become more erratic and the doctor feels that at rivercrest they 'll be able to help her more . sharon : what about security ? she 's been known to be an escape artist . paul : you do n't have to worry about that . rivercrest is a state - of - the - art facility . she wo n't be a problem . dylan : did you , uh , get a chance to talk to patty ? paul : i did , and , uh ... she said something that surprised me . fairview came up . and she said that she helped you there . you helped each other . does that mean anything to you ? sharon : i have no idea . you know , she -- she was a little obsessed with me . but helped me ? um , no . does n't make any sense . paul : she did paint a picture of you pregnant . sharon : well , maybe she just got tired of painting cats . you know , i - i hate to say this , paul , but , um , patty does n't have a great grip on reality . is n't there a strong possibility that this is all part of some fantasy ? paul : of course , it 's possible . it 's just that she said there were ... bad people at fairview . i 'm assuming she meant dr. anderson . and maybe at least in her own mind , she believed that somehow she was helping you , maybe protecting you from dr. anderson . kevin : i was n't even expecting that it was gon na happen . it just ... did . and it 's not just the -- you know , chloe and i are really starting to connect the way we used to , but in a different way . it 's so great . you know , enough about that . let me at least get you a coffee . mariah : no , i should get going back to the house . kevin : and interrupt the whole sharon / dylan reunion ? mariah : make it a hot chocolate and you 're on . kevin : you got it . mariah : kevin . kevin : yeah ? mariah : i 'm really happy for you . and chloe . i know what this means to you . kevin : thanks . hey , can i have two hot chocolates and a s 'm ores cookie , please ?

[ chuckles ] dylan : and we know that patty had complicated feelings about dr. anderson . paul : complicated enough for her to kill her . dylan : how could she even , in her delusional state , think that sharon needed protection from her own doctor ? sharon : yeah , dylan 's right . dr. anderson helped me so much . i never felt afraid of her . i never felt like i was in any danger . dylan : yeah , and sharon was out of fairview way before dr. anderson was killed , so it does n't make any sense that protecting sharon was the motive . paul : [ sighs ] dylan : i do n't know , paul . maybe patty 's trying to create some sort of logic to make sense of her own world and just deal with that guilt . i 'm sorry . paul : what are you gon na do ? does n't get any easier . anyway , i 've said what i came to say , so , uh , i 'll get out of your hair and let you get back to your homecoming . dylan : all right . well , thank you for the update . paul : yeah . give sully and faith a kiss for me , will you ? dylan : you can count on that . paul : all right . dylan : see ya . hey , you okay ? sharon : yeah . this just was n't the homecoming i had in mind . dylan : lucky for you , i remember exactly where we left off . dr. anderson : you know how far someone will go for love , do n't you ? patty : shoot them once or twice , maybe ? pretend to be someone else , but -- no . wait . no . no , no , no . you took a baby . an innocent little sweet pea . i have to tell them the truth . i do , doc . dr. anderson : i 'm sorry , patty , but you wo n't be telling anyone .

[ scene_break ] morgan : rosalie screwed mikey over . i get that . sonny : then you get you should n't be trusting this woman with a secret . morgan : yeah , but these circumstances are completely different . i mean , i do n't think that rosalie is gon na run to kiki and tell her what she saw go down between me and denise . sonny : i hope you 're right . morgan : anyway , i - i got more important things to worry about , like fighting my attraction to denise . [ scene_break ] nina : wow , it 's you . a - ava 's twin . ava : yeah . her sister . ava 's twin sister . who are you ? nina : uh , i 'm n - nina clay . n - nina lansing . your sister screwed my husband -- my first husband . a - and this -- this guy here , he 's franco . but -- but you knew that , did n't you ? ava : what makes you say that ? nina : because you 're dating . at least you are according to franco . [ scene_break ] madeline : i 'm not gon na let you commit nina till i have a guarantee that i get what i 'm owed . ric : okay . so tell me , what can i do to put you at ease ? madeline : you do n't have to do anything , just ... show me . [ kissing ] ric : mm . mrs. -- mrs. reeves , uh ... madeline : [ sighs ] i - i 'm a married man . oh , please . [ chuckles ] we both know you only married my daughter for her money . do you really expect me to believe you 're gon na be faithful ? ric : whether or not i stay true to my marriage vows is -- is completely irrelevant . it 's not the issue here . the problem is , our little conspiracy will tank if somebody finds out , particularly nina . madeline : well , nina 's not here right now , is she ? and as much as i respect sheer commitment to our plan , you really do n't have to worry about my level of discretion . i have as much to lose as you do if this plan goes south . ric : glad you understand . madeline : of course . i understand . i understand everything . that 's why i 'm doing this ... to protect my piece of the pie . [ scene_break ] nina : uh , so miss ... ava : demuccio . nina : demuccio . okay . um , so , miss demuccio , um ... are you or are you not dating franco ? carly : gon na say , it would n't surprise me . kiki : [ scoffs ] it 's surprising me . carly : oh , come on . maybe denise is franco 's type . you know , that sick bond he had with your mother ran pretty deep . for a while there , everyone thought franco was your father . kiki : yes , but my mother knew franco for years . she just came to town . i mean , as far as i know , you -- you have n't even met franco . nina : uh , well , there 's an explanation for that . you see , franco is lying yet again . kiki : why would he do that ? ava : oh , why would he do that ? i 'll -- i 'll tell you . i 'll tell you . because he 's spinning this insane , preposterous lie because he 's jealous of me and -- and ric and everything we are to each other . and , um , you know , that 's why he made it up . franco : i did not . i did -- i did not make it up . nina : yes , you did . is it -- okay , well , there 's one way to find out . i 'll just ask your newest paramour . so , are you and franco , are -- are you really an item ? [ scene_break ] morgan : i really care about kiki , dad . last thing i want to do is hurt her , you know ? sonny : then do n't . morgan : [ sighs ] it 's just , like , when i 'm around denise , like , there 's this thing that happens , and ... sonny : you know what that thing is . that thing is -- is called attraction , and just because you feel it , does n't mean you have to act on it . morgan : but i 'm not just the one that feels it . she feels it , too . sonny : oh , is that what denise told you ? morgan : [ sighs ] she does n't want to hurt kiki any more than -- than i do , dad , but when i am around her -- sonny : when you are around her , what ? morgan : oh , whatever . okay . it -- it does n't really matter because the only way this is gon na stop is if i stay away from denise , even though , you know , kiki wants to be around her every second we have free time . sonny : you are better off with kiki . denise is trouble . morgan : why ? 'cause she looks like ava , is that why ? sonny : i do n't care if she looks like sofia vergara . denise is trouble . morgan : all right . all right , well , i appreciate the advice , dad . sonny : listen to me . you know all i care about for you is -- is your happiness , right ? morgan : yeah , i know . all right . [ scene_break ] michael : give aj back ? sabrina : i know . it 's a drastic step . michael : yeah , you think ? sabrina : but you admitted that you 're original motive for taking aj was so that you could hurt sonny . michael , this is n't the first time you 've talked about missing your family . look , returning aj might be the way to move past all the hurt and the anger on both sides and start rebuilding . michael : okay , what am i supposed to say ? that -- that i was wrong about my sister being safe with me ? i 'm not wrong . sabrina : i know . michael : and you know what , and i - i admit , my -- my original motive was to punish sonny , to take someone away from him like he took someone away from me . but , you know what ? i - i love aj , and she 's safe with me . sabrina : i do n't disagree . michael : and if sonny was the loving , caring father that he claims to be , then he 'd want that for her . he 'd want her to have a better life than me or any of my siblings ever had . sabrina : look , i do n't know anything about sonny , okay ? but i have watched you fight with yourself -- the part of you that wants to forgive against the part of you that just wants revenge , and you know what ? you can not go on being torn in two . you have to make a choice . michael : and you think i should choose to give aj back . [ scene_break ] dante : is leslie around ? i 'd like to say hi to her . lulu : actually , she 's sleeping . dante : that 's right . that 's right , 'cause you 're , uh ... you 're in italy and the time change . it 's late over there . yeah . [ sighs ] you must be , uh , ready for bed , too , huh ? lulu : yeah , that 's , uh -- that 's a really good idea . dante : hey , baby , when you coming back ? lulu : i 'm not sure exactly . hopefully , soon . dante : yeah , i hope so , too . lulu : i love you . dante : yeah , me , too . lulu : i hate this ! i just lied to dante again . dillon : you did what you had to do . lulu : did i ? because part of me thinks i should have just told him the truth and asked him to trust me . instead , i 've given him every reason not to . dillon : how would that conversation go ? `` hey , honey , my brother 's being held hostage . my none - too - stable parents are going after him , and i 'm going after them . be back soon . `` what would have happened ? lulu : he would have tried to come along . dillon : and since the kidnapper said no cops , that could have gotten your brother killed . [ scene_break ] [ knock on door ] valerie : dante . what was that ? are you all right ? dante : i do n't know . see for yourself . what does it look like ? well , that was productive . way to take positive action . [ sighs ] at least i did n't wake rocco . the last thing i want to do is affect him with this whole thing . of course , he 's gon na be affected . what the hell is his mother thinking right now ? valerie : you think that lulu is n't visiting her grandmother ? dante : no , she 's not . she called me to tell me she was going to italy , and i checked up on it . lulu and dillon took a flight to vancouver . they used dillon 's credit card to check into a hotel , where they 're sharing a room together . [ scene_break ] dillon : we 're making progress . lulu : [ scoffs ] yeah , right . there 's nothing like lying to your husband to create a sense of forward momentum . dillon : [ sighs ] okay , we 're not gon na hang out in the lobby , where the kidnappers could potentially spot us . we can use this room as a base of operations . i say we find out if your parents are staying in the same hotel as us . lulu : maybe we should n't have come . dillon : too late . we 're here . and since we know lucky 's in trouble and there 's an excellent chance your parents are , too , i say we find a way to help them . lulu : you were always good at that . dillon : risk , adventure , daring ? lulu : that , too . but i was referring to how you keep my head on straight . you stop me from spiraling into a drama of my own making . dillon : own making ? you -- you did n't ask for your brother to be kidnapped . or for your parents to go chasing after him . lulu : maybe so . but i seriously could n't do this without you . so thank you . dillon : you can thank me later , when we find lucky . now , let 's get to work . [ scene_break ] sonny : good to see you , tj . tj : hey , mr. corinthos . sonny : well , how do you -- how do you like ... your new digs ? tj : the place is amazing , and i really appreciate you letting me stay here . but , uh , are you sure about this ? sonny : guess what , philly . tj 's moving in . [ laughs ] [ scene_break ] sabrina : this is n't about me . i 'm not advocating one decision or the other . michael : you sure about that ? because you seem pretty certain . sabrina : look , all i want is for you to make the decision that is right for you . michael : even if it 's not best for aj ? sabrina : in the long run , are n't they the same thing ? babies are intuitive . if you 're not happy , she 's gon na sense that . michael : i just ... i hate not knowing if she 's okay , even if she is . 'cause right now , even if i 'm not with her , i - i know that she 's with you . sabrina : taking care of aj has been an amazing experience for me . every day , i wake up and i know that there 's this little person who 's completely dependent on me to give her what she needs , and i 'm so happy to do it . it just gives me such a feeling of peace . i do n't ... i just , i do n't know how to describe it . michael : i get it . i can see it . sabrina : i 'd like to think that by taking care of aj , that somehow i 'm making up for what i did to ava , and wherever ava is now ... i hope she knows that . [ scene_break ] nina : denise -- c - can i call you denise ? ava : sure . nina : can you just confirm what we all know -- that -- that franco is just a huge liar . ava : no , i ca n't . because franco here is telling the absolute truth ? kiki : he is ? nina : no , he 's not . ava : he is . what are you waiting for , handsome ? give me some sugar . [ ava & franco kiss ] [ scene_break ] madeline : the way i see it ...

[ chuckles ] franco here and i , we just happened to bump into each other , and we realized that we had ava in common , and uh , well , we just ... kind of hit it off , and what can i say ? one thing led to another and , uh ... the rest is history . is n't that right ? [ scene_break ] sonny : make yourself at home . philly , do me a favor . could you take that up ? philly : where would you like me to put them ? sonny : last bedroom at the end of the hall . philly : michael 's old room ? sonny : uh , that 's -- i think that 's what i said . philly : got it , boss . sonny : all right . that 's great . [ scene_break ] michael : well , if i give aj back , you 'd be out of a job , and that 's not fair . sabrina : [ chuckling ] michael . i should n't factor into this decision at all . as much as i love being around aj , i 'm not her mother . michael : and i 'm not her father . that 's what you were saying , is n't it ? sabrina : do you think that it would benefit aj to have her father in her life ? michael : when her father 's a gangster and people around him get shot ? i do n't know . i - i really do n't . i - i loved growing up with sonny . maybe aj would , too . and you know what ? maybe giving her back ... would be the best thing , despite the danger . it would certainly make peace in the family . sabrina : is n't peace what 's better for everyone ? michael : yeah , but , me -- me giving sonny back his daughter is n't ... i 'm also sending a message that it was okay that he killed my father -- that a few months in prison and a slap on the wrist is enough to balance the scales , but it 's not . what sonny did was wrong . it feels wrong for me just to let it go . [ scene_break ] dante : i feel like i 'm in the twilight zone right now . i followed my wife around . she 's going to the quartermaine house , where dillon greets her wearing a towel . she calls me to tell me she 's going to italy . i find out she 's actually shacked up in a hotel room in canada with dillon . valerie : back up . did you just say the quartermaine place ? that 's like a mansion , right ? dante : yeah , why ? so what ? valerie : so it 's not like dillon was just lounging around his one - bedroom bachelor pad . maybe he just happened to be the only person near the door . dante : yeah , maybe . maybe , i do n't know . maybe . maybe . that still does n't explain why they took off together . valerie : yeah . i 'm sorry , i - i do n't know what to tell you there . dante : what is there to say , really ? [ chuckles ] thank you . valerie : for what ? dante : checking up on me . hey , you know what ? would you mind watching rocco for a little bit ? valerie : why ? where are you going ? dante : i 'm gon na go confront my wife . [ scene_break ] lulu : i just have to get into the guest database and see if any of the names jump out at me . dillon : when did you become a hacker ? lulu : [ chuckles ] i do n't want to brag , but spinelli may have taught me a few tricks . dillon : [ sighs ] i know he 's known as the jackal and the assassin of the internet , but i still think of him as the other guy who loved georgie . lulu : i had forgotten about that . dillon : it was a long time ago , but i still really miss her . lulu : me , too . i still feel terrible about trying to come between you two . dillon : please . bygones . we 've both come so far since then . lulu : bingo . lucy and lloyd johnson . dillon : who ? lulu : these are the aliases that my parents used when they were on the run in beecher 's corners . dillon : they 're using them again ? lulu : in this very hotel . i have a room number . dillon : great . when do we invade ? lulu : no time like the present . oh ! okay , that ca n't be good . dillon : search the room or back off and wait to hear from them ? lulu : they could be in trouble . we have to do something . dillon : okay . stay behind me . lulu : what is going on ? laura : freeze ! luke : freeze ! laura : lulu ? what are you doing here ? luke : i told you to stay in port charles . dillon : how well would that have worked if you were the ones sitting on your hands while the rest of your family was in danger ? lulu was just following your example , luke . lulu : the last time i talked to mom , it sounded like something was really wrong . luke : well , we ran into some old baggage . dillon : what kind of baggage ? luke : ah , you do n't want to know . laura : yeah , you really do n't . but , anyway , uh , she told us what she knew , and she told us to wait for further contact . lulu : and there has n't been any ? laura : no , nothing . we 're in limbo . lulu : okay . so how can we help ? luke : get the hell out ! [ scene_break ] valerie : what are you saying ? you 're not gon na go all the way out to british columbia . dante : why not ? sure i am . lulu and dillon got a flight , and i can find a flight for myself . i 'm sure it wo n't be a problem . i 'm gon na go to that hotel , i 'm gon na confront my cheating wife , and i 'm gon na kick her boyfriend 's ass . valerie : i do n't mind taking care of rocco . dante : thank you . i 'll call you when i land . valerie : but it 's not gon na do you any good to go all the way out there half- cocked when you do n't even know what 's going on . dante : i do know what 's going on . i know my wife is lying to me . i know she 's taken off to some other country with some other guy . i mean , what am i supposed to do , wait around here for who knows when she 's gon na come back ? valerie : just one night . sleep on it . dante : i do n't ... i do n't think i can do much sleeping . valerie : try . and if you wake up and you still want to go , i wo n't stop you . but for tonight , stay here , with me . [ scene_break ] tj : i feel kind of bad taking michael 's room . sonny : do n't feel bad . i mean , michael has n't used it in years . tj : i 'm sorry things are n't good between you and your son . sonny : so am i . tj : you know , shawn 's not my dad , but he 's the closest thing to it . and things were n't good between us for a long time . i mean , you know why . sonny : because of what happened to your dad ? tj : right . and if i forgave shawn for what he did to my father , maybe michael can forgive you for what you did to his . you know , maybe things will change for you . sonny : yeah , maybe . [ scene_break ] sabrina : giving your sister back to sonny does n't mean that you absolve him -- or even forgive him . you 'd be doing the right thing for your sister and for yourself . michael : how does rewarding sonny make anything right ? sabrina : michael , i do n't know how to say this , but you -- dolling out justice is not your job . michael : you 're right . it 's the legal system 's job . sabrina : it 's the legal system 's job , and they failed miserably . okay . but that 's over . look , the longer you hold onto your anger , the more that you hurt yourself . i know , because i was drowning in -- in anger when i lost my son . michael : yeah , you -- yeah , you told me about that . sabrina : trying to exact revenge on ava did n't -- did n't make me feel any better . doing the right thing did . and by caring for aj , it 's made me feel closer to gabriel . i 've finally found a place where i could share all the love that i was n't able to give him . and maybe by giving your sister back to sonny , it -- it could do the same thing for you . michael : how do you know ? sabrina : because i 'm starting to know you . and i know how much you love your sister . and i know that that 's how much your father loved you . if , god forbid , some tragedy were to happen , would you want aj to be angry and bitter , seeking out vengeance in your name ? michael : no . no . never . sabrina : if you give your sister back to sonny , you 'll be reuniting a father with his child . you 'll be putting down the anger and the vengeance and allowing yourself to move on . i think if he were here , your father would want that . [ scene_break ] franco : you satisfied ? nina : nope . ava : well , i do n't know why not . we told you the truth . i do n't know what more you could possibly want . nina : a reasonable explanation . i just do n't get [ chuckles ] why you would go for someone like her . franco : ava : whoa ! where the hell do you get off ? franco : yeah . why would n't i be interested -- no , fascinated -- in denise here ? what , 'cause she 's not from the upper east side , like some people i know ? fat lot of good it did you . ava : yeah ! nina : yeah ? that 's what you got ? oh , wow . franco : denise is fun . what do you care ? you got that terrific husband you 're always talking about . where is he , anyway ? was n't he supposed to be meeting you here for dinner ? nina : yeah , yeah , he 's on his way . franco : yeah , well , maybe he got lost . so maybe you should go find him . nina : maybe i should go find him . that 's what i 'm gon na do , is find my husband right now . just gon na go ... franco : hey , um , youse guys mind if i borrow denise for a little while ? i - i have n't had a chance to hear all about her day . ava : [ chuckles ] carly : you know , kiki , i tolerate your aunt in my restaurant for the same reason i tolerate franco -- as a favor to you . but if there 's any further disturbance , i 'm gon na have them both escorted out of here . kiki : oh , there 's not gon na be any more problems . right , morgan ? morgan : what ? kiki : denise and franco , they 're not gon na cause any trouble . morgan : well , i would n't bet on that . franco : thank you for backing me up . ava : my pleasure . franco : yeah . and it 's -- it 's not that i 'm not grateful , but ... why the hell would you do that ?

[ scene_break ] morgan : why does it bother me that -- that denise is with franco ? maybe 'cause he 's insane ? look at what he did to my mom . look at what he did to my family . you were there , kiki . kiki : okay , yes , but with all due respect , franco has been working very hard to make himself a better person . morgan : i 'm just concerned that denise is his next victim . that 's all . kiki : and i think it is great that you care about denise . but if she wants to be with franco , then i do n't think we have any choice but to be happy for her . [ scene_break ] franco : so who 's the someone ? who are we trying to fool ? who do you need to think you 're with someone ? ava : i did n't seek him out . it was a chance encounter . silas : a normal person -- she does n't generally take her clothes off and nearly have sex with her daughter 's boyfriend by chance . ava : it would n't have happened at all if you had ... helped me to forget about him like i asked you to . silas : to be a booty call . ava : i need a distraction ! silas : if you ca n't get your mind off morgan , get a hobby . i suggest needlepoint . but if you 're looking for companionship , look elsewhere . you 're not getting it from me . ava : kiki . franco : kiki ? ava : kiki . yeah , she 's so sweet , my little niece , and -- and -- [ sighs ] she 's trying so hard , but she 's trying to set me up with her father . franco : ooh ! ava : yeah , not a fan ? franco : no , no . no , dr. mcbroody ? why would she want you to be with him ? ava : she 's a romantic . and i appreciate the gesture , you know , i do . i 'm just not -- i 'm not interested , you know ? and so i need ... ... i need her to get the message , you know ? and so if she thinks that we 're dating , then nobody 's feelings get hurt . [ scene_break ] carly : i know you miss avery and michael . sonny : more than i can say . carly : but you 're always gon na be their father . you are , no matter where they live . and no one can take that away from you .

[ kiss ] [ scene_break ] lulu : i ca n't believe that my parents sent me to my room . dillon : you 're not 6 . you do n't have to do what they tell you . in fact , i trust your judgment way more than i trust theirs , so if you want to go try to turn up a lead on lucky , i 'm in . lulu : the last thing i want to do is jeopardize my brother 's life . dillon : fine . if holing up in a hotel room watching pay - per - view is the only way to help find lucky , then i guess that 's what we 'll do . lulu : well , maybe now that we 've cleared out , my parents will hear from whoever 's supposed to contact them .

tj moves into sonny 's house . sonny gives tj michael 's old room . tj tells sonny that he forgave shawn for killing thomas sr . so maybe michael will eventually be able to forgive sonny for killing aj . sabrina convinces michael to take avery back to sonny .
<s>[INST] valerie : did you talk to lulu ? you know , clear the air ? dante : uh , when i asked lulu about dillon , she said he just came by to see rocco . valerie : oh . then i misunderstood . see , that 's what i get for only hearing half the conversation . dante : actually , you did n't misunderstand a damn thing . guess where she is right now . [ cell phone rings ] dante : hey . lulu : hey . i just wanted to let you know that i landed . dante : how 's , uh , lake como ? lulu : it 's ... very italian . just wanted to check and see how my two favorite men are doing . dante : rocco 's asleep . i , uh -- i put him down for the night . hey , how 's your , uh ... how 's your grandmother ? lulu : she 's good . i 'll send her your love . dante : [ sighs ] you know what ? hey , can you put her on the phone ? i just would like to say hi to her .

[ scene_break ] morgan : rosalie screwed mikey over . i get that . sonny : then you get you should n't be trusting this woman with a secret . morgan : yeah , but these circumstances are completely different . i mean , i do n't think that rosalie is gon na run to kiki and tell her what she saw go down between me and denise . sonny : i hope you 're right . morgan : anyway , i - i got more important things to worry about , like fighting my attraction to denise . [ scene_break ] nina : wow , it 's you . a - ava 's twin . ava : yeah . her sister . ava 's twin sister . who are you ? nina : uh , i 'm n - nina clay . n - nina lansing . your sister screwed my husband -- my first husband . a - and this -- this guy here , he 's franco . but -- but you knew that , did n't you ? ava : what makes you say that ? nina : because you 're dating . at least you are according to franco .

[ chuckles ] we both know you only married my daughter for her money . do you really expect me to believe you 're gon na be faithful ? ric : whether or not i stay true to my marriage vows is -- is completely irrelevant . it 's not the issue here . the problem is , our little conspiracy will tank if somebody finds out , particularly nina . madeline : well , nina 's not here right now , is she ? and as much as i respect sheer commitment to our plan , you really do n't have to worry about my level of discretion . i have as much to lose as you do if this plan goes south . ric : glad you understand . madeline : of course . i understand . i understand everything . that 's why i 'm doing this ... to protect my piece of the pie . [ scene_break ] nina : uh , so miss ... ava : demuccio . nina : demuccio . okay . um , so , miss demuccio , um ... are you or are you not dating franco ? carly : gon na say , it would n't surprise me . kiki : [ scoffs ] it 's surprising me . carly : oh , come on . maybe denise is franco 's type . you know , that sick bond he had with your mother ran pretty deep . for a while there , everyone thought franco was your father . kiki : yes , but my mother knew franco for years . she just came to town . i mean , as far as i know , you -- you have n't even met franco . nina : uh , well , there 's an explanation for that . you see , franco is lying yet again . kiki : why would he do that ? ava : oh , why would he do that ? i 'll -- i 'll tell you . i 'll tell you . because he 's spinning this insane , preposterous lie because he 's jealous of me and -- and ric and everything we are to each other . and , um , you know , that 's why he made it up . franco : i did not . i did -- i did not make it up . nina : yes , you did . is it -- okay , well , there 's one way to find out . i 'll just ask your newest paramour . so , are you and franco , are -- are you really an item ? [ scene_break ] morgan : i really care about kiki , dad . last thing i want to do is hurt her , you know ? sonny : then do n't . morgan : [ sighs ] it 's just , like , when i 'm around denise , like , there 's this thing that happens , and ... sonny : you know what that thing is . that thing is -- is called attraction , and just because you feel it , does n't mean you have to act on it . morgan : but i 'm not just the one that feels it . she feels it , too . sonny : oh , is that what denise told you ? morgan : [ sighs ] she does n't want to hurt kiki any more than -- than i do , dad , but when i am around her -- sonny : when you are around her , what ? morgan : oh , whatever . okay . it -- it does n't really matter because the only way this is gon na stop is if i stay away from denise , even though , you know , kiki wants to be around her every second we have free time . sonny : you are better off with kiki . denise is trouble . morgan : why ? 'cause she looks like ava , is that why ? sonny : i do n't care if she looks like sofia vergara . denise is trouble . morgan : all right . all right , well , i appreciate the advice , dad . sonny : listen to me . you know all i care about for you is -- is your happiness , right ? morgan : yeah , i know . all right . [ scene_break ] michael : give aj back ? sabrina : i know . it 's a drastic step . michael : yeah , you think ? sabrina : but you admitted that you 're original motive for taking aj was so that you could hurt sonny . michael , this is n't the first time you 've talked about missing your family . look , returning aj might be the way to move past all the hurt and the anger on both sides and start rebuilding . michael : okay , what am i supposed to say ? that -- that i was wrong about my sister being safe with me ? i 'm not wrong . sabrina : i know . michael : and you know what , and i - i admit , my -- my original motive was to punish sonny , to take someone away from him like he took someone away from me . but , you know what ? i - i love aj , and she 's safe with me . sabrina : i do n't disagree . michael : and if sonny was the loving , caring father that he claims to be , then he 'd want that for her . he 'd want her to have a better life than me or any of my siblings ever had . sabrina : look , i do n't know anything about sonny , okay ? but i have watched you fight with yourself -- the part of you that wants to forgive against the part of you that just wants revenge , and you know what ? you can not go on being torn in two . you have to make a choice . michael : and you think i should choose to give aj back . [ scene_break ] dante : is leslie around ? i 'd like to say hi to her . lulu : actually , she 's sleeping . dante : that 's right . that 's right , 'cause you 're , uh ... you 're in italy and the time change . it 's late over there . yeah . [ sighs ] you must be , uh , ready for bed , too , huh ? lulu : yeah , that 's , uh -- that 's a really good idea . dante : hey , baby , when you coming back ? lulu : i 'm not sure exactly . hopefully , soon . dante : yeah , i hope so , too . lulu : i love you . dante : yeah , me , too . lulu : i hate this ! i just lied to dante again . dillon : you did what you had to do . lulu : did i ? because part of me thinks i should have just told him the truth and asked him to trust me . instead , i 've given him every reason not to . dillon : how would that conversation go ? `` hey , honey , my brother 's being held hostage . my none - too - stable parents are going after him , and i 'm going after them . be back soon . `` what would have happened ? lulu : he would have tried to come along . dillon : and since the kidnapper said no cops , that could have gotten your brother killed . [ scene_break ] [ knock on door ] valerie : dante . what was that ? are you all right ? dante : i do n't know . see for yourself . what does it look like ? well , that was productive . way to take positive action . [ sighs ] at least i did n't wake rocco . the last thing i want to do is affect him with this whole thing . of course , he 's gon na be affected . what the hell is his mother thinking right now ? valerie : you think that lulu is n't visiting her grandmother ? dante : no , she 's not . she called me to tell me she was going to italy , and i checked up on it . lulu and dillon took a flight to vancouver . they used dillon 's credit card to check into a hotel , where they 're sharing a room together . [ scene_break ] dillon : we 're making progress . lulu : [ scoffs ] yeah , right . there 's nothing like lying to your husband to create a sense of forward momentum . dillon : [ sighs ] okay , we 're not gon na hang out in the lobby , where the kidnappers could potentially spot us . we can use this room as a base of operations . i say we find out if your parents are staying in the same hotel as us . lulu : maybe we should n't have come . dillon : too late . we 're here . and since we know lucky 's in trouble and there 's an excellent chance your parents are , too , i say we find a way to help them . lulu : you were always good at that . dillon : risk , adventure , daring ? lulu : that , too . but i was referring to how you keep my head on straight . you stop me from spiraling into a drama of my own making . dillon : own making ? you -- you did n't ask for your brother to be kidnapped . or for your parents to go chasing after him . lulu : maybe so . but i seriously could n't do this without you . so thank you . dillon : you can thank me later , when we find lucky . now , let 's get to work .

'cause right now , even if i 'm not with her , i - i know that she 's with you . sabrina : taking care of aj has been an amazing experience for me . every day , i wake up and i know that there 's this little person who 's completely dependent on me to give her what she needs , and i 'm so happy to do it . it just gives me such a feeling of peace . i do n't ... i just , i do n't know how to describe it . michael : i get it . i can see it . sabrina : i 'd like to think that by taking care of aj , that somehow i 'm making up for what i did to ava , and wherever ava is now ... i hope she knows that .

[ chuckles ] franco here and i , we just happened to bump into each other , and we realized that we had ava in common , and uh , well , we just ... kind of hit it off , and what can i say ? one thing led to another and , uh ... the rest is history . is n't that right ?

[ scene_break ] sabrina : giving your sister back to sonny does n't mean that you absolve him -- or even forgive him . you 'd be doing the right thing for your sister and for yourself . michael : how does rewarding sonny make anything right ? sabrina : michael , i do n't know how to say this , but you -- dolling out justice is not your job . michael : you 're right . it 's the legal system 's job . sabrina : it 's the legal system 's job , and they failed miserably . okay . but that 's over . look , the longer you hold onto your anger , the more that you hurt yourself . i know , because i was drowning in -- in anger when i lost my son . michael : yeah , you -- yeah , you told me about that . sabrina : trying to exact revenge on ava did n't -- did n't make me feel any better . doing the right thing did . and by caring for aj , it 's made me feel closer to gabriel . i 've finally found a place where i could share all the love that i was n't able to give him . and maybe by giving your sister back to sonny , it -- it could do the same thing for you . michael : how do you know ? sabrina : because i 'm starting to know you . and i know how much you love your sister . and i know that that 's how much your father loved you . if , god forbid , some tragedy were to happen , would you want aj to be angry and bitter , seeking out vengeance in your name ? michael : no . no . never . sabrina : if you give your sister back to sonny , you 'll be reuniting a father with his child . you 'll be putting down the anger and the vengeance and allowing yourself to move on . i think if he were here , your father would want that .

[ scene_break ] lulu : what ? luke : you need to leave . dillon : right , with your track record , you 've got everything under control . why would lulu ever doubt you ? luke : your disapproval is duly noted . lulu : dillon , this is n't helping . dillon : from what i can see , luke and laura have made exactly zero progress in finding lucky . maybe it 's time they let you handle this . lulu : i just want to be included in the search for my brother . luke : you ca n't help by being here . we are most certainly being watched . we 're waiting for a message from the contact person . and they may not get in touch if they know you 're here . laura : you need to listen to your father . lulu : okay , okay . fine . we do n't need to wait here with you guys . we have a room on another floor . laura : great . so go back to it . if we need you , we 'll call you . lulu : okay . okay , if anything happens , we 're in room 237 . luke : [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] carly : hi . sonny : hey . carly : i just saw tj out in the hallway . sonny : yeah ? carly : mm - hmm . sonny : well , you know what , he 's settling in , so ... carly : it 's so nice of you to let him stay here . sonny : well , after everything shawn 's done for me , it 's the least i could do . yeah . i have him staying in michael 's old room . carly : oh . sonny : no , well , look , if it 's gon na make you sad , i can put him in another room . carly : no ! no , no , it 's your house . you should do what you want . sonny : okay . well , you know , what i want is my son back . carly : so do i . sonny : but that do n't look like that 's gon na happen any time soon , so , uh , i might as well give tj the room , that way , it does n't sit empty . 'cause that 's pretty much all i got at this point is , you know , spaces where my kids used to live . carly : okay , well , you know what ? let 's not exaggerate on that , all right ? christina never stayed here more than a night . michael and morgan , they -- they split their time between us . and dante , he never lived with you .

[ scene_break ] morgan : why does it bother me that -- that denise is with franco ? maybe 'cause he 's insane ? look at what he did to my mom . look at what he did to my family . you were there , kiki . kiki : okay , yes , but with all due respect , franco has been working very hard to make himself a better person . morgan : i 'm just concerned that denise is his next victim . that 's all . kiki : and i think it is great that you care about denise . but if she wants to be with franco , then i do n't think we have any choice but to be happy for her . [ scene_break ] franco : so who 's the someone ? who are we trying to fool ? who do you need to think you 're with someone ? ava : i did n't seek him out . it was a chance encounter . silas : a normal person -- she does n't generally take her clothes off and nearly have sex with her daughter 's boyfriend by chance . ava : it would n't have happened at all if you had ... helped me to forget about him like i asked you to . silas : to be a booty call . ava : i need a distraction ! silas : if you ca n't get your mind off morgan , get a hobby . i suggest needlepoint . but if you 're looking for companionship , look elsewhere . you 're not getting it from me . ava : kiki . franco : kiki ? ava : kiki . yeah , she 's so sweet , my little niece , and -- and -- [ sighs ] she 's trying so hard , but she 's trying to set me up with her father . franco : ooh ! ava : yeah , not a fan ? franco : no , no . no , dr. mcbroody ? why would she want you to be with him ? ava : she 's a romantic . and i appreciate the gesture , you know , i do . i 'm just not -- i 'm not interested , you know ? and so i need ... ... i need her to get the message , you know ? and so if she thinks that we 're dating , then nobody 's feelings get hurt .

[ scene_break ] elizabeth : shawn butler was trying to kill jake . everyone assumes that his shot went wild and hit hayden by accident . nikolas : what do you mean `` assumes `` ? elizabeth : was hayden in the wrong place at the wrong time ? or was she shot because of you ? were you the one behind this ? did you try to have hayden killed ?

[ scene_break ] dr. obrecht : i would have you know that a bona fide dna test was performed on miss demuccio . she was not a match for ava jerome . they can not be the same person . franco : but they are . ava does not have the same dna . she had a bone - marrow transplant . she shares dna with her baby . dr. obrecht : of course ! [ chuckles ] that 's why you told me dr. clay kidnapped avery corinthos . franco : yeah . and silas brought the baby to new york where he was treating ava . dr. obrecht : [ scoffs ] ava jerome was a long - term patient who took dr. clay away from my payroll for all those months . franco : silas knew that ava and denise are the same person . he could have sent that witch to prison at any moment . that 's ava 's motive for killing silas . she had the most to lose . [ scene_break ] morgan : denise , i think you need to prepare yourself . ava : for what ? morgan : well , you 're supposedly dating franco , then he turns around and kills silas . i mean , at the very least , cops are gon na come here . they 're gon na interview you . ava : oh , they did . no , detective falconeri was here already . morgan : did they know about the call silas made to kiki ? do they know that 's about us ? ava : no , he came here to ask me about a call that i made to silas about an hour before ... you know . morgan : what did you tell dante ? ava : well , i told him that i called silas to ask him to a dinner party i was throwing for kiki . i explained to him that i hate voicemail , you know , i so did n't leave a message . morgan : did he believe you ? ava : well , why would n't he ? there is no way anybody can know that silas was calling kiki about you and me . we are in the clear .

[ scene_break ] morgan : i hate that this is happening to kiki right now , but at least she does n't have to suffer through the pain of finding out about us . ava : yeah . it 's a bit of comfort , huh ? morgan : for us , yeah . we 're being selfish . you know that . ava : i do . morgan : gosh , i hate this . i hate how much this is hurting kiki . she does n't deserve this . ava : i know . i know . i am so sorry . morgan : she needs me right now , denise . ava : yeah , of course . [ exhales heavily ] morgan : you know , i think the idea of silas telling her about us was just the kick in the gut that i needed . ava : me too . morgan : you know where i 'm going with this , right ? it 's over . and i 'm not talking about like what 's happened before . all talk , no action . i 'm done with empty promises . we 're done . for real this time . [ scene_break ] franco : no , i 'm always the guy that knows who the murderer is in like the first five minutes of the movie . i ca n't believe it took me this long . dr. obrecht : while i appreciate your enthusiasm , i 'm afraid that this theory of yours does not -- how do you say ? -- hold water . why would ava jerome kill silas clay after he saved her life ? franco : well , this is ava we 're talking about . dr. obrecht : my point exactly . dr. clay rescued her after she was shot and fell from a bridge . he kidnapped a baby to give her a bone - marrow transplant . why turn on her savior now ? franco : i do n't know . maybe silas was threatening to give her up . dr. obrecht : but that would expose his actions , as well . there 'd be dire consequences for him . ah ! it just does n't add up . why start threatening her so suddenly , so out of the blue ? franco : you 're pretty good at this whole devil 's advocate thing . dr. obrecht : lest we forget , dr. clay is the father of one of ava jerome 's children . franco : okay , okay , so maybe not so out of the blue . maybe -- maybe kiki is the reason . maybe she 's the reason behind all of this . dr. obrecht : how so ? franco : ava and morgan have been banging like bunnies behind kiki 's back , making a fool out of her . dr. obrecht : it always comes down to geschlechtsverkehr . franco : i did n't sneeze , but thank you . dr. obrecht : sex ! i was referring to sex . franco : so , i told silas about ava and morgan yesterday , and he was very disappointed . and he probably went after ava . he probably had it out with her . dr. obrecht : it 's possible . franco : it 's more than just possible . he was furious . he must have threatened ava . and ava , being ava , dusted off her capability for cold - blooded murder , and -- and opened up clay 's veins before he could open up his mouth . [ scene_break ] nathan : who knows why franco does what franco does ? okay , but , nina , you need to face the facts , all right ? franco was inside silas ' apartment when dante arrived . nina : that does n't mean he killed silas . nathan : come on , he was carrying a bag that had the murder weapon in it , okay ? and it had been wiped , but there was a partial fingerprint remaining , and that fingerprint belongs to franco . nina : none of it matters . j , he did n't -- he did n't do it . franco is innocent . somebody else killed silas . nathan : and how do you know that ? nina : i just -- i just know it . nathan : nina , i can not eliminate this guy as a murder suspect just because you have faith in him . all right , so , unless you were physically present to witness this crime , i ca n't use anything that you said to exonerate franco . [ scene_break ] sam : i 'm sorry . but i am doing this for michael . patrick : and in a way , doing it for jason . sam : he would want me to take michael 's side , yes . patrick : yeah . sam : and that 's why jake and i agreed to keep this investigation confidential . patrick : yeah , i 'm a doctor , i 'm ... i 'm clear with the concept of confidentiality . sam : so , you get it ? patrick : sam , i love you . sam : [ sighs ] patrick : i 'm not gon na let something like this come in between us . sam : have i told you how amazing you are ? patrick : not today . sam : no ? i should have . jason : oh , excuse me . hey , guys . sam : [ chuckles ] hey , jake . jason : [ clears throat ] sam : well , what did hayden say ? jason : uh , she still does n't remember anything . i tried to tell her that , uh , she may recover , but even if she does n't , it gets better . doc , i appreciate you letting me see her . again , i 'm very sorry for your loss . sam : thank you . patrick : before you go , if you just -- if you have a second , uh ... i just want to let you know that sam told me that you 're investigating nikolas and that you 're keeping it a secret from elizabeth . jason : [ clears throat ] [ chuckles ] [ scene_break ] elizabeth : it was just a suspicion . i could n't talk myself out of it . but it 's real ? you tried to have a woman killed ? for me ? so i could be with jason and no one would know . nikolas : yes . elizabeth : i , uh -- nikolas : yes . i wanted you to be happy . elizabeth : uh ... nikolas : but i did it for myself , as well . look , the blackmail was never going to stop , elizabeth . hayden would have gone on and on until she took everything from me , so i put a stop to it . elizabeth : but to go this far ? nikolas : i 'm done being trapped . i wo n't let it happen again . elizabeth : wait . now that hayden 's awake , are you gon na finish the job ? are you going to kill her ? nikolas : is n't that what you want me to do ? [ scene_break ] carly : you said it yourself that morgan was afraid that silas was gon na rat him and denise out to kiki . sonny : yeah , but it does n't mean he did anything . carly : okay , what if he did ? what if he went over there , and he lashed out at silas ? sonny : morgan 's not a killer , carly . carly : he 's impulsive , sonny . he acts without thinking . i mean , he betrayed you to julian . and when he found out that kiki was n't michael 's cousin , he tricked her into marrying him . and what did he do immediately after he found out that kiki had left him for michael ? sonny : he slept with ava . carly : you ca n't deny that there 's some patterns going on her , some very self- destructive patterns . what if morgan ... what if he went over there and he lost it on silas ? what if our son killed someone last night ? [ scene_break ] morgan : i 'm sorry . ava : so am i . for all of it . silas is dead , and kiki will never get over it . morgan : kiki 's mom just died , now her dad . she just lost a lot . like , we have to be there for her . ava : i know , but ... we will be . morgan : she just found out that the killer is someone close to her . the cops arrested franco . ava : yeah , your brother told me when he was here , yeah . morgan : kiki walked in on franco at the apartment covering up his tracks . he was there when she found her dad 's body . now , she called the cops , and then she had to watch them drag that bastard off . ava : must have been terrible for her . morgan : well , you know , everyone knows that franco 's a killer . he 's always stayed out of prison on technicalities . but apparently , he told kiki that he swore he did n't do it . ava : who 's gon na believe him ? morgan : well , he 's gon na have to divert suspicion . i 'm sure he 's gon na blame it on somebody else . [ scene_break ] dr. obrecht : how does your theory that ava jerome killed dr. clay fit with you finding my niece perched over her dead ex - husband holding the knife ? franco : okay . try this one on for size . ava goes to silas ' apartment , finds a very ticked off silas there , and she ca n't talk him out of blabbing to everyone about her and morgan . and so she kills silas , then she runs away . and then nina appears , and she sees her ex - husband in a puddle of blood , and she wants to help silas , but she panics . and so she takes the knife out of silas , and that 's when i show up . and i get nina to go back to shadybrook so that she has an alibi . and then i wipe down the knife so that there 's none of -- n -- ah , damn it . dr. obrecht : what ? franco : well , now i wiped down the knife so that there were none of nina 's fingerprints , but i wiped off ava 's fingerprints , too , and everything else that she could have touched . dr. obrecht : verdammt . ( bloody hell ) franco : [ sighs ] how are we gon na prove that ava 's the killer ? we 're gon na have to hire a private investigator . [ scene_break ] sam : it was time for me to be honest with patrick . he understands what we were trying to do for michael . patrick : sam 's right . i understand , but i think you 're misreading elizabeth . jason : look , i do n't like keeping things from her either , okay ? but this is nikolas . we ca n't afford to tip him off . patrick : that 's what sam explained to me , but i know elizabeth , and i do n't think that she would protect nikolas if he was doing something wrong or if he had something to hide . [ scene_break ] nikolas : the first thing you did when you learned hayden regained consciousness was call me . i was under the impression that you wanted me to solve the problem the way i did the last time , so say the word , and it 's done . elizabeth : no ! no , i do n't -- i do n't want you to kill her . yes , she 's a terrible person , but so am i . nikolas : you are nothing like her . elizabeth : [ sighs ] i have gone to extremes to keep the truth from jason . i 've done terrible things , things i 'm not proud of , but i can live with them . what i ca n't live with is killing a person . okay , i can not take part of taking somebody else 's life . nikolas : all you have to do is look the other way . elizabeth : at the cost of my soul ? it 's too much . it 's too much for me . i have to draw the line somewhere . and so do you . please do n't kill her . nikolas : then what the hell are we supposed to do with hayden ? you have everything you 've ever wanted . do n't you ? jason is yours . he 's not out there getting shot . he 's not running around trying to protect carly . he 's not committed to sam . you 're gon na give that up ? because hayden 's awake ? she could remember the truth at any moment . you want that hanging over you ? elizabeth : no . no , but if there 's such a thing as karma , if the scales are supposed to balance , i got a miracle . jason came back to me . alive . i ca n't turn around and take somebody else 's life . and i ca n't look the other way while you do it . nikolas : okay , so then that 's it ? you 're willing to lose jason ? elizabeth : no ! i have not lost him yet . jake said that hayden does n't remember anything about that day in the garage , much less who he is . nikolas : eventually it could come back . elizabeth : or she can end up like jason and never remember anything . nikolas : elizabeth , the possibility of her talking will always be there . you understand that ? jason could be taken away from you , from little jake , just like that at any time . elizabeth : do n't you think i know that ? nikolas : then other than killing her , what 's the alternative ? elizabeth : hope for the best . nikolas : [ laughs ] prepare for the worst . [ scene_break ] patrick : do n't let it come in between your relationship with elizabeth . she would n't jeopardize the work that you 're doing with sam . jason : you 've given me a lot to think about . patrick : good . i got to do rounds . sam : okay . i 'll see you later . patrick : bye . jason : [ clears throat ] sam : yeah , so , um ... i did n't mean for all that to happen . jason : it 's fine . it 's fine . i know it 's been hard for you to keep a secret . bet you 're happy it 's all out in the open now , huh ? sam : i think i 'd be a hell of a lot happier if hayden was being straight with us . jason : i asked her about nikolas . she said that she does n't remember him . sam : [ scoffs ] shocker . do you believe her ? jason : i do n't know what i believe . [ scene_break ] carly : what else did morgan say to you last night ? sonny : i advised him to tell kiki the truth before silas could . he said he did n't want to do that 'cause he did n't want to hurt her . he said silas would n't say anything . carly : how could he know that ? sonny : i asked him . he would n't give me a straight answer , you know , and i could n't press him , because i had to go to that meeting in new york . carly : so , this was the exact time when dr. clay died . sonny : yeah . yeah . um ... we got to talk to morgan . [ scene_break ] morgan : who the hell knows what franco 's gon na say to clear his name . he could be pointing his finger at anybody , including us . ava : forget about franco . you need to go to kiki . she needs you . morgan : about us , though -- ava : enh . what else is there to say , huh ? morgan : i 'm gon na miss you , denise . ava : i 'm gon na miss you , too . [ cries ] go . morgan : okay . ava : [ crying ] [ scene_break ] dr. obrecht : do n't waste time and resources on a private investigator . franco : well , how else are we gon na prove that ava 's the killer ? i 've destroyed all of the evidence that connects her to clay 's murder . dr. obrecht : you do n't know for certain that you destroyed all the evidence . you may have very well left something . and if you did , my son will find it . franco : nathan 's not exactly my biggest fan . dr. obrecht : nathan is a consummate professional . he wants to solve the case , not railroad you into prison . franco : not so sure about that . dr. obrecht : i 'll call nathan and have him hear you out . as long as you do n't back down from disclosing everything you know about ava jerome . [ scene_break ] nathan : all the preliminary evidence points to franco as the killer . okay , so unless a witness just shows up to point us in a new direction , we have to keep going , building this case . franco : i do believe you . i do n't think anyone else in the world will believe you , though . so we need to get you the hell out of here . nina : okay , j , listen . hey , um ... take my word for it , look at me , look at me . as your sister , take my word for it . franco is innocent . you need to investigate all aspects of this murder . you have to check out who had a problem with silas . check out his financials , dump his cell . nathan : come on , nina , you 've been watching too many crime shows . nina : do n't make fun of me . do n't make fun of me . this is important . nathan : look , we 're not rushing to any judgments here , okay ? we 're not excluding evidence . and with evidence , we are willing to consider alternate suspects . [ scene_break ] ava : get over it . [ sighs ] now . deal with franco before that idiot sings to the cops . [ scene_break ] sam : i did n't mean to tell patrick about the investigation . it 's just that we started talking about nikolas and then hayden , and then it just -- ugh -- sort of snowballed from there . jason : i get it . i get it . it 's fine . i do n't like keeping secrets from elizabeth either . why not just tell her that we 're gon na take a closer look at her good buddy nik ? [ scene_break ] patrick : elizabeth . elizabeth : hi . patrick : hi . elizabeth : sorry , i 'm just really distracted . patrick : so , i 'm assuming that you heard . elizabeth : about hayden barnes ? patrick : yeah . elizabeth : yeah . how is she ? patrick : physically , she 's fine . she 's claiming to not remember anything prior to the shooting . um ... sam is convinced that she 's lying .

[ cell phone ringing ] nathan : hold on a sec . i got to take this . one second .

[ scene_break ] ava : excuse me , officer . is detective falconeri here ? oh , he , um -- he gave me his card , and i really got to talk to him . but i do n't see him anywhere . officer : i do n't know where he is right now . ava : oh . would you be a doll and check ? officer : i 'll be right back . ava : thanks a zillion . franco : ava , my ava . i was just thinking about you . i know what you did last night . i know you killed your ex - boyfriend .

'cause i really need to get back to kiki . sonny : okay , first , you need to answer a question for me and your mother . morgan : okay , well , whatever it is , can it wait ? because i 'm busy right now with kiki . sonny : no . no . it ca n't wait . your mother 's gon na ask you something , and you 're honestly gon na answer it . morgan : fine . what ? carly : did you kill silas clay ? [ scene_break ] nathan : [ clears throat ] nina : everything okay ? nathan : yeah , look , i , uh -- i do n't want you to get your hopes up , okay ? but the phone call that i just got was about another possible suspect in silas ' murder . [ scene_break ] franco : i saw silas the day that he died . and i told him that you were sleeping with kiki 's boyfriend , and he was very disappointed . and i got the sense somehow that he was gon na come find you and confront you . that 's what happened , right ? he should have known better . he should have known how far you 'd go to shut him up . ava : now would be a good time for you to stop talking . franco : silas left a voicemail for kiki saying that he needed to talk to her about something very important as soon as she got home . and that was a conversation about you , right ? yeah , you could n't let that happen . no , because if your daughter knew that you were alive and well and banging her boyfriend , then for one thing , you 'd go to jail for killing connie , and the other thing -- you know , more importantly -- you would lose your daughter forever . and i like i said , you could n't let that happen . so you took a knife , and you stabbed silas in the back . that 's murder , ava . and this time , there 's no way out of it for you . ava : you 're not gon na say one word about me to the cops . franco : why ? are you gon na stab me , too ? ava : if you say anything about me to anybody , you 'll have to explain what your girlfriend was doing at the scene of the crime while silas was bleeding out . [ next_on ] carly ( to morgan ) : if you killed dr. clay , you need to tell us right now . nina ( to nathan ) : who killed silas ? kiki ( to sam ) : you think franco killed my dad because of me ? franco ( to ava ) : you killed silas , and i know how . jason ( to elizabeth ) : i 'm keeping something from you .

[ scene_break ] elizabeth : shawn butler was trying to kill jake . everyone assumes that his shot went wild and hit hayden by accident . nikolas : what do you mean `` assumes `` ? elizabeth : was hayden in the wrong place at the wrong time ? or was she shot because of you ? were you the one behind this ? did you try to have hayden killed ?

[ chuckles ] that 's why you told me dr. clay kidnapped avery corinthos . franco : yeah . and silas brought the baby to new york where he was treating ava . dr. obrecht : [ scoffs ] ava jerome was a long - term patient who took dr. clay away from my payroll for all those months . franco : silas knew that ava and denise are the same person . he could have sent that witch to prison at any moment . that 's ava 's motive for killing silas . she had the most to lose . [ scene_break ] morgan : denise , i think you need to prepare yourself . ava : for what ? morgan : well , you 're supposedly dating franco , then he turns around and kills silas . i mean , at the very least , cops are gon na come here . they 're gon na interview you . ava : oh , they did . no , detective falconeri was here already . morgan : did they know about the call silas made to kiki ? do they know that 's about us ? ava : no , he came here to ask me about a call that i made to silas about an hour before ... you know . morgan : what did you tell dante ? ava : well , i told him that i called silas to ask him to a dinner party i was throwing for kiki . i explained to him that i hate voicemail , you know , i so did n't leave a message . morgan : did he believe you ? ava : well , why would n't he ? there is no way anybody can know that silas was calling kiki about you and me . we are in the clear .

[ scene_break ] morgan : i hate that this is happening to kiki right now , but at least she does n't have to suffer through the pain of finding out about us . ava : yeah . it 's a bit of comfort , huh ? morgan : for us , yeah . we 're being selfish . you know that . ava : i do . morgan : gosh , i hate this . i hate how much this is hurting kiki . she does n't deserve this . ava : i know . i know . i am so sorry . morgan : she needs me right now , denise . ava : yeah , of course . [ exhales heavily ] morgan : you know , i think the idea of silas telling her about us was just the kick in the gut that i needed . ava : me too . morgan : you know where i 'm going with this , right ? it 's over . and i 'm not talking about like what 's happened before . all talk , no action . i 'm done with empty promises . we 're done . for real this time . [ scene_break ] franco : no , i 'm always the guy that knows who the murderer is in like the first five minutes of the movie . i ca n't believe it took me this long . dr. obrecht : while i appreciate your enthusiasm , i 'm afraid that this theory of yours does not -- how do you say ? -- hold water . why would ava jerome kill silas clay after he saved her life ? franco : well , this is ava we 're talking about . dr. obrecht : my point exactly . dr. clay rescued her after she was shot and fell from a bridge . he kidnapped a baby to give her a bone - marrow transplant . why turn on her savior now ? franco : i do n't know . maybe silas was threatening to give her up . dr. obrecht : but that would expose his actions , as well . there 'd be dire consequences for him . ah ! it just does n't add up . why start threatening her so suddenly , so out of the blue ? franco : you 're pretty good at this whole devil 's advocate thing . dr. obrecht : lest we forget , dr. clay is the father of one of ava jerome 's children . franco : okay , okay , so maybe not so out of the blue . maybe -- maybe kiki is the reason . maybe she 's the reason behind all of this . dr. obrecht : how so ? franco : ava and morgan have been banging like bunnies behind kiki 's back , making a fool out of her . dr. obrecht : it always comes down to geschlechtsverkehr . franco : i did n't sneeze , but thank you . dr. obrecht : sex ! i was referring to sex . franco : so , i told silas about ava and morgan yesterday , and he was very disappointed . and he probably went after ava . he probably had it out with her . dr. obrecht : it 's possible . franco : it 's more than just possible . he was furious . he must have threatened ava . and ava , being ava , dusted off her capability for cold - blooded murder , and -- and opened up clay 's veins before he could open up his mouth . [ scene_break ] nathan : who knows why franco does what franco does ? okay , but , nina , you need to face the facts , all right ? franco was inside silas ' apartment when dante arrived . nina : that does n't mean he killed silas . nathan : come on , he was carrying a bag that had the murder weapon in it , okay ? and it had been wiped , but there was a partial fingerprint remaining , and that fingerprint belongs to franco . nina : none of it matters . j , he did n't -- he did n't do it . franco is innocent . somebody else killed silas . nathan : and how do you know that ? nina : i just -- i just know it . nathan : nina , i can not eliminate this guy as a murder suspect just because you have faith in him . all right , so , unless you were physically present to witness this crime , i ca n't use anything that you said to exonerate franco . [ scene_break ] sam : i 'm sorry . but i am doing this for michael . patrick : and in a way , doing it for jason . sam : he would want me to take michael 's side , yes . patrick : yeah . sam : and that 's why jake and i agreed to keep this investigation confidential . patrick : yeah , i 'm a doctor , i 'm ... i 'm clear with the concept of confidentiality . sam : so , you get it ? patrick : sam , i love you . sam : [ sighs ] patrick : i 'm not gon na let something like this come in between us . sam : have i told you how amazing you are ? patrick : not today . sam : no ? i should have . jason : oh , excuse me . hey , guys . sam : [ chuckles ] hey , jake . jason : [ clears throat ] sam : well , what did hayden say ? jason : uh , she still does n't remember anything . i tried to tell her that , uh , she may recover , but even if she does n't , it gets better . doc , i appreciate you letting me see her . again , i 'm very sorry for your loss . sam : thank you . patrick : before you go , if you just -- if you have a second , uh ... i just want to let you know that sam told me that you 're investigating nikolas and that you 're keeping it a secret from elizabeth . jason : [ clears throat ] [ chuckles ] [ scene_break ] elizabeth : it was just a suspicion . i could n't talk myself out of it . but it 's real ? you tried to have a woman killed ? for me ? so i could be with jason and no one would know . nikolas : yes . elizabeth : i , uh -- nikolas : yes . i wanted you to be happy . elizabeth : uh ... nikolas : but i did it for myself , as well . look , the blackmail was never going to stop , elizabeth . hayden would have gone on and on until she took everything from me , so i put a stop to it . elizabeth : but to go this far ? nikolas : i 'm done being trapped . i wo n't let it happen again . elizabeth : wait . now that hayden 's awake , are you gon na finish the job ? are you going to kill her ? nikolas : is n't that what you want me to do ? [ scene_break ] carly : you said it yourself that morgan was afraid that silas was gon na rat him and denise out to kiki . sonny : yeah , but it does n't mean he did anything . carly : okay , what if he did ? what if he went over there , and he lashed out at silas ? sonny : morgan 's not a killer , carly . carly : he 's impulsive , sonny . he acts without thinking . i mean , he betrayed you to julian . and when he found out that kiki was n't michael 's cousin , he tricked her into marrying him . and what did he do immediately after he found out that kiki had left him for michael ? sonny : he slept with ava . carly : you ca n't deny that there 's some patterns going on her , some very self- destructive patterns . what if morgan ... what if he went over there and he lost it on silas ? what if our son killed someone last night ? [ scene_break ] morgan : i 'm sorry . ava : so am i . for all of it . silas is dead , and kiki will never get over it . morgan : kiki 's mom just died , now her dad . she just lost a lot . like , we have to be there for her . ava : i know , but ... we will be . morgan : she just found out that the killer is someone close to her . the cops arrested franco . ava : yeah , your brother told me when he was here , yeah . morgan : kiki walked in on franco at the apartment covering up his tracks . he was there when she found her dad 's body . now , she called the cops , and then she had to watch them drag that bastard off . ava : must have been terrible for her . morgan : well , you know , everyone knows that franco 's a killer . he 's always stayed out of prison on technicalities . but apparently , he told kiki that he swore he did n't do it . ava : who 's gon na believe him ? morgan : well , he 's gon na have to divert suspicion . i 'm sure he 's gon na blame it on somebody else . [ scene_break ] dr. obrecht : how does your theory that ava jerome killed dr. clay fit with you finding my niece perched over her dead ex - husband holding the knife ? franco : okay . try this one on for size . ava goes to silas ' apartment , finds a very ticked off silas there , and she ca n't talk him out of blabbing to everyone about her and morgan . and so she kills silas , then she runs away . and then nina appears , and she sees her ex - husband in a puddle of blood , and she wants to help silas , but she panics . and so she takes the knife out of silas , and that 's when i show up . and i get nina to go back to shadybrook so that she has an alibi . and then i wipe down the knife so that there 's none of -- n -- ah , damn it . dr. obrecht : what ? franco : well , now i wiped down the knife so that there were none of nina 's fingerprints , but i wiped off ava 's fingerprints , too , and everything else that she could have touched . dr. obrecht : verdammt . ( bloody hell ) franco : [ sighs ] how are we gon na prove that ava 's the killer ? we 're gon na have to hire a private investigator . [ scene_break ] sam : it was time for me to be honest with patrick . he understands what we were trying to do for michael . patrick : sam 's right . i understand , but i think you 're misreading elizabeth . jason : look , i do n't like keeping things from her either , okay ? but this is nikolas . we ca n't afford to tip him off . patrick : that 's what sam explained to me , but i know elizabeth , and i do n't think that she would protect nikolas if he was doing something wrong or if he had something to hide . [ scene_break ] nikolas : the first thing you did when you learned hayden regained consciousness was call me . i was under the impression that you wanted me to solve the problem the way i did the last time , so say the word , and it 's done . elizabeth : no ! no , i do n't -- i do n't want you to kill her . yes , she 's a terrible person , but so am i . nikolas : you are nothing like her . elizabeth : [ sighs ] i have gone to extremes to keep the truth from jason . i 've done terrible things , things i 'm not proud of , but i can live with them . what i ca n't live with is killing a person . okay , i can not take part of taking somebody else 's life . nikolas : all you have to do is look the other way . elizabeth : at the cost of my soul ? it 's too much . it 's too much for me . i have to draw the line somewhere . and so do you . please do n't kill her . nikolas : then what the hell are we supposed to do with hayden ? you have everything you 've ever wanted . do n't you ? jason is yours . he 's not out there getting shot . he 's not running around trying to protect carly . he 's not committed to sam . you 're gon na give that up ? because hayden 's awake ? she could remember the truth at any moment . you want that hanging over you ? elizabeth : no . no , but if there 's such a thing as karma , if the scales are supposed to balance , i got a miracle . jason came back to me . alive . i ca n't turn around and take somebody else 's life . and i ca n't look the other way while you do it . nikolas : okay , so then that 's it ? you 're willing to lose jason ? elizabeth : no ! i have not lost him yet . jake said that hayden does n't remember anything about that day in the garage , much less who he is . nikolas : eventually it could come back . elizabeth : or she can end up like jason and never remember anything . nikolas : elizabeth , the possibility of her talking will always be there . you understand that ? jason could be taken away from you , from little jake , just like that at any time . elizabeth : do n't you think i know that ? nikolas : then other than killing her , what 's the alternative ? elizabeth : hope for the best . nikolas : [ laughs ] prepare for the worst . [ scene_break ] patrick : do n't let it come in between your relationship with elizabeth . she would n't jeopardize the work that you 're doing with sam . jason : you 've given me a lot to think about . patrick : good . i got to do rounds . sam : okay . i 'll see you later . patrick : bye . jason : [ clears throat ] sam : yeah , so , um ... i did n't mean for all that to happen . jason : it 's fine . it 's fine . i know it 's been hard for you to keep a secret . bet you 're happy it 's all out in the open now , huh ? sam : i think i 'd be a hell of a lot happier if hayden was being straight with us . jason : i asked her about nikolas . she said that she does n't remember him . sam : [ scoffs ] shocker . do you believe her ? jason : i do n't know what i believe . [ scene_break ] carly : what else did morgan say to you last night ? sonny : i advised him to tell kiki the truth before silas could . he said he did n't want to do that 'cause he did n't want to hurt her . he said silas would n't say anything . carly : how could he know that ? sonny : i asked him . he would n't give me a straight answer , you know , and i could n't press him , because i had to go to that meeting in new york . carly : so , this was the exact time when dr. clay died . sonny : yeah . yeah . um ... we got to talk to morgan . [ scene_break ] morgan : who the hell knows what franco 's gon na say to clear his name . he could be pointing his finger at anybody , including us . ava : forget about franco . you need to go to kiki . she needs you . morgan : about us , though -- ava : enh . what else is there to say , huh ? morgan : i 'm gon na miss you , denise . ava : i 'm gon na miss you , too . [ cries ] go . morgan : okay . ava : [ crying ] [ scene_break ] dr. obrecht : do n't waste time and resources on a private investigator . franco : well , how else are we gon na prove that ava 's the killer ? i 've destroyed all of the evidence that connects her to clay 's murder . dr. obrecht : you do n't know for certain that you destroyed all the evidence . you may have very well left something . and if you did , my son will find it . franco : nathan 's not exactly my biggest fan . dr. obrecht : nathan is a consummate professional . he wants to solve the case , not railroad you into prison . franco : not so sure about that . dr. obrecht : i 'll call nathan and have him hear you out . as long as you do n't back down from disclosing everything you know about ava jerome . [ scene_break ] nathan : all the preliminary evidence points to franco as the killer . okay , so unless a witness just shows up to point us in a new direction , we have to keep going , building this case . franco : i do believe you . i do n't think anyone else in the world will believe you , though . so we need to get you the hell out of here . nina : okay , j , listen . hey , um ... take my word for it , look at me , look at me . as your sister , take my word for it . franco is innocent . you need to investigate all aspects of this murder . you have to check out who had a problem with silas . check out his financials , dump his cell . nathan : come on , nina , you 've been watching too many crime shows . nina : do n't make fun of me . do n't make fun of me . this is important . nathan : look , we 're not rushing to any judgments here , okay ? we 're not excluding evidence . and with evidence , we are willing to consider alternate suspects . [ scene_break ] ava : get over it . [ sighs ] now . deal with franco before that idiot sings to the cops . [ scene_break ] sam : i did n't mean to tell patrick about the investigation . it 's just that we started talking about nikolas and then hayden , and then it just -- ugh -- sort of snowballed from there . jason : i get it . i get it . it 's fine . i do n't like keeping secrets from elizabeth either . why not just tell her that we 're gon na take a closer look at her good buddy nik ?

[ scene_break ] nathan : [ clears throat ] nina : everything okay ? nathan : yeah , look , i , uh -- i do n't want you to get your hopes up , okay ? but the phone call that i just got was about another possible suspect in silas ' murder . [ scene_break ] franco : i saw silas the day that he died . and i told him that you were sleeping with kiki 's boyfriend , and he was very disappointed . and i got the sense somehow that he was gon na come find you and confront you . that 's what happened , right ? he should have known better . he should have known how far you 'd go to shut him up . ava : now would be a good time for you to stop talking . franco : silas left a voicemail for kiki saying that he needed to talk to her about something very important as soon as she got home . and that was a conversation about you , right ? yeah , you could n't let that happen . no , because if your daughter knew that you were alive and well and banging her boyfriend , then for one thing , you 'd go to jail for killing connie , and the other thing -- you know , more importantly -- you would lose your daughter forever . and i like i said , you could n't let that happen . so you took a knife , and you stabbed silas in the back . that 's murder , ava . and this time , there 's no way out of it for you . ava : you 're not gon na say one word about me to the cops . franco : why ? are you gon na stab me , too ? ava : if you say anything about me to anybody , you 'll have to explain what your girlfriend was doing at the scene of the crime while silas was bleeding out .

[ scene_break ] caroline : so , what have you heard ? steffy : [ chuckles ] a lot . caroline : so , you know about rick and maya ? steffy : the picture that 's on the wall at my grandfather 's house ? caroline : yeah , she 's become quite the lady of the manor . steffy : that will change when my grandfather 's back . so , you and rick -- are you finished ? caroline : yeah , i , uh ...

bill tells katie that he is waiting . he wants her to marry him . she says yes and he slips the ring on her finger . they hug and kiss . brooke snaps her fingers twice and says just like that . that is how fast she can get ridge back . she snaps them again until caroline tells her to stop doing that . she says her feelings for ridge are real . she had those feelings for the old rick but not the one that pulled the gun . brooke reminds caroline of the age difference and that ridge has children that are the same age as her . that is sort of creepy . how could she do that to her son ? she puts down the crush , this infatuation on ridge . caroline says it is more than an infatuation and she sees how brooke does not want her with ridge . she knows brooke is never without a man . so if she has broken things off with uncle bill perhaps she is wanting to get back with ridge herself . steffy embraces ivy and says it has been ages since they saw each other as children . from their talk steffy realizes that ivy is the new woman in liam 's life and is almost living there . bill and katie snuggle and he wonders what gave her the nod . she says he is getting close when he gave her the vice presidency but it 's more than that . he reminds her that she opens him up and gives him a chance to be the best he can . now he is home . steffy tells liam that she has to go but she will think about what he said about them joining forces . she asks ivy her opinion of rick and what is happening at fc .

this is my worst nightmare ! steffy : dad , this is not about you ! ridge : i know it 's not about me ! what about kelly ? is it about her in some way ? steffy : of course i 'm thinking about my daughter . ridge : oh , you are ? okay . so you want him a constant force in her life ? that 's what you want ? think about it ! you got to stop this before you 're in too deep . steffy : dad , i did n't want this to happen . i wanted liam , but then that night happened , and everything changed . ridge : okay , fine ! because bill took a wrecking ball to your life , to your whole life ! i 'm not letting you do this . you 're not marrying spencer . it 's not gon na happen . bill : i know you 're right about liam . and my deepest regret is that my son wants nothing to do with me . but liam hates me because of steffy . and i 'm going to marry her . there 's no fixing that . wyatt : you could bow out , give up on steffy . bill : that 'll never happen . wyatt : i 'm serious , dad . it 's one woman . bill : the only woman . wyatt : carrying 12.5 % shares in forrester creations now instead of a bouquet . bill : best investment i ever made with the greatest future returns . wyatt : yeah ? and what about liam ? bill : he 'll cash in with hope . hope : i feel terrible for hurting steffy , but for her to run straight to your father , after everything ... liam : yeah . kind of having a hard time finding the moral high ground here . hope : look , you and i , we 've loved each other for years , and everyone knows that . no one knows that more than steffy . and , yes , maybe we should n't have done what we did , but it -- it came from a moment between two people who are deeply connected . bill and steffy , i -- i do n't know what that is , some twisted alliance that i have never really been able to understand . liam : well , i think they 're about to simplify it for all of us . hope : what does that mean ? liam : oh , steffy and my dad are getting married . steffy : dad , you do n't know what it 's been like . walking on eggshells , trying to be good enough for liam to love again . ridge : [ sighs ] steffy : constantly doing penance for one mistake , and in the end , none of it mattered . i walked in on hope and liam hooking up in the forrester dressing room , of all places . that is so disrespectful . like , i 'm done , dad . i 'm done . i 'm over it . ridge : so you sold your soul to the devil ? steffy : that 's not how i see it . i 'm taking control of my life . ridge : with spencer ! steffy : at least i know where i stand . ridge : how ? how ? how do you know where you stand ? you know what he does . you know what he did to katie , to brooke , to his own kids ! and this is what you want ? you want him in your life ? he does n't care about anything but himself and money ! steffy : well , life 's all a business proposition . he gives me what i want , i give him what he wants . partnership is made . ridge : what are you -- and you 're gon na base your marriage on that ? steffy : i guess we 'll see . bill and i made a deal . ridge : a deal ? what deal ? steffy : in return for marrying him , bill agreed to give me his 12.5 % of forrester . the company will be all ours again . bill : full disclosure ? even i was getting a little bit discouraged . i mean , things were n't going well with steffy . all i kept hearing was `` no . `` wyatt : because she loves liam . bill : but that switch got flipped the moment she caught liam with hope . so let that be a lesson to both of you . never give up , never surrender . things can change when you least expect it . bill : now , you sure you do n't want to celebrate this momentous occasion , be with your dad the day he marries the woman of his dreams , huh ? wyatt : [ chuckles ] i wish you the best , dad , but i got to stay neutral on this . life is just too short , man . bill : all right . suit yourself . i ca n't wait around for you to change your mind . i want to seal this deal as soon as i can . justin : why ? you 're afraid steffy might back out ? bill : no . of course not . justin : you bought and paid for her , man , with forrester shares . i mean , do you really think that 's a good way to start a marriage ? bill : all right , look , if you ca n't be happy for me , at least check your cynicism . i 'm looking at nothing but happy . liam : [ sighs ] hope : i ca n't believe this . bill and steffy . getting ... married . liam : kind of proves him right , does n't it ?

really ? steffy : he will love kelly . she 's his blood . ridge : [ sighs ] what happened to you ? what happened to my clear - eyed capable daughter ? where 'd she go ? steffy : i 'm seeing better than i have in a really long time . ridge : [ sighs ] liam screwed up . i do n't condone any of that . he screwed up . but all this started because of you and bill . now , liam found forgiveness , and i think now it 's your turn . steffy : no , dad . it 's too late . dad , i really want you to hear me , okay ? it 's over with liam . ridge : okay , that 's fine . i do . i hear that . but that does n't mean that you need to rebound to that guy . just be alone for a minute . steffy : i made up my mind . bill and i are getting married . ridge : why are you doing this ? steffy : look , i know you do n't approve . but i got to do what 's necessary . i 'm taking control of my life , dad . ridge : this has nothing to do with me approving of anything ... i 'm looking at you , and ... something 's shutting down . i do n't know what it is , but something is broken , and it breaks my heart . but you think that man -- you think bill can fix any of this ? you think he can make it better ? no . he 's gon na take you , he 's gon na dismantle you , and he 's gon na make you into something that he wants you to be .

[ scene_break ] spinelli : so , how do you wish to proceed ? do we abandon the search in deference to mr. doe 's wishes ? sam : i think jake is just frustrated . he does n't want to give up . spinelli : uh , i most respectfully disagree . he seemed quite adamant on the point . sam : you heard him , spinelli . he 's been going through this for over a year . he thinks he 's got a lead , and then he 's right back where he started . spinelli : it is a most demoralizing prospect . sam : and i - i think if jake wants to take a step back , we let him do it . but i want to keep searching . will you help me ? spinelli : yes , with -- with pleasure . but i 'm -- but i 'm -- i 'm not overly optimistic on our odds to retrieve that deleted file from the lab 's mainframe . sam : no , no , no . i think we have to forget about the dna lab . we have to take this from another angle . the only thing we do know for a fact is that jake is tied to helena . spinelli : yes , but i - i would speculate that madame cassadine had any records of jake 's true identity destroyed , which would explain this dearth of information . it seems unthinkable , in the digital age , that there would n't even be the slightest trace of jake 's former self . in fact , this lack of data , to me , points to a very skilled cover - up . sam : okay , well , is there anywhere we should be searching that nikolas and helena could n't reach ? spinelli : perhaps . sam : perhaps ? spinelli : uh ... sam : what are you thinking ? spinelli : well , okay , there must be x - rays , right -- scans , perhaps even an mri of jake 's injuries . and such data , if properly analyzed , could yield a clue as to his true identity . sam : okay , but would -- would n't the doctors have found that ? spinelli : with due respect to the physicians in question , they are not me . they do n't have the cyber proficiency to synthesize the data in such a way that could yield previously -- sam : oh , no , no , no , no , i get what you 're saying . we have to get jake 's medical records . [ scene_break ] jason : i got your text . elizabeth : yeah , thanks for getting here so quickly . jason : absolutely , so , uh ... patrick : listen , i , uh -- my shift 's almost over . i got to finish my rounds . elizabeth : okay . patrick : i 'll see you later . jason : good seeing you . patrick : you , too . jason : hey . what did you want to see me about ? elizabeth : i do n't want to talk about it here . can we go home ? [ scene_break ] michael : it scares me seeing him like this . all my life , he 's been dad -- the most powerful man in the room . even when he was out of control , it was -- it was his own kind of power . and people fear him , they respect him . he knows h - h - how to run things , he knows how to be in charge , and now , all of a sudden , he 's -- morgan : he 's lying there -- lying there on the floor , ca n't move . michael : it 's like the whole world just flipped on its head . i never thought i 'd see him so helpless . morgan : that how you see him now ? michael : no , it 's how he sees himself . i mean , he hates this . he -- he wants to find a way out , but you know what ? he ca n't . he ca n't bribe anybody . he ca n't manipulate anybody . he ca n't pull out a gun . i mean , the only way out of this -- the only way out of this is through it . [ scene_break ] carly : i get that you 're terrified . sonny : [ sighs ] carly : so am i . there are two choices when you 're this scared -- curl up in a ball and wait to die or stand up and fight . sonny : fight ? i ca n't even stand . this is happening , carly . this is real . i did n't believe it at first , but i sure as hell believe it now . when i was lying on that floor , i could not get up if my life depended on it , if your life depended on it . i know sometimes i can be a bastard , and i can be a son of a bitch and maybe sometimes you even hate me . but you always knew that i would -- i would fight for you and the kids . i could face down my enemies and always hold on to what 's mine . how do i do that now ? what good am i to you or anyone else in that damn wheelchair ? be honest , carly . when you saw me lying there on the floor ? [ beeping ] carly : i thought my heart was gon na break . sonny : because you pitied me . carly : no , you do n't get pity . you 're paralyzed , sonny . you 're not helpless . and -- and it may be temporary , but even if it 's not , you 're still the man i married . you 've never had a challenge you could n't face . sonny : i 've never been in a damn wheelchair , carly . carly : no , you 've locked yourself inside , closed the blinds , trashed the room , and talked to ghosts -- gone to a place so dark and full of despair you could n't even move . but you fought your way out . sonny : yeah , i got on medication for my bipolar disorder , but i ca n't take a pill now so that -- carly : you hated taking those meds , sonny . you still do . but you do it because you have five kids who need you , especially the youngest . avery is trapped . she might as well be ava 's hostage . and if we want to get her back , we got to fight for her . sonny : like this ? ! carly : yes ! you have to go in that courtroom , even if you 're in a wheelchair . you have to prove that you 're the better parent . you have to prove that avery belongs with us . sonny : how am i supposed to fight for my daughter when i ca n't even get out of bed ? carly : you figure it out , sonny ! you go to physical therapy . you go to occupational therapy . and you learn how to live your new life . sonny : what if i 'm not strong enough ? carly : okay . [ chuckles ] you were strong enough to build yourself up from nothing , strong enough to run your own territory and , hell , strong enough to handle me and hold onto me . sonny : are you sure about that last one ? huh ? 'cause when we got married , i -- i thought this was temporary . it 's not . what kind of -- what kind of husband can i be to you ? what kind of life are you gon na have ? you 're an amazing woman . you deserve better than this . carly : you know what my mother said to me right before i married you ? sonny : yeah -- `` it 's not too late to change your mind . `` carly : she said i would never be happy without you . and [ chuckles ] she 's right . you 're my husband -- my husband , for better or for worse . sonny : well , we 've set a new standard for worse . carly : [ chuckles ] okay , yeah . so , we deal with it . if you fall on the ground , i 'm gon na sit there with you . and if you scream and yell , i 'm gon na scream with you . [ beeping ] carly : what i will not do is give up on you , and i wo n't let you give up on yourself . i wo n't . sonny : [ voice breaking ] i ca n't do this without you . carly : [ chuckles ] well , thank god , because i 'm not going anywhere . you 're stuck with me . [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] olivia : you 're sure that all you want to do is talk ? julian : yes . cooler heads have prevailed , and i 'm very sorry for , you know , threatening you earlier . it was ... uncalled for . i was -- i am ... furious for all the time that i 've lost with leo . olivia : julian , i kept leo from you for the same reason that i kept dante from sonny -- because i want to shield my boys from the mob . now , obviously , in his case , you found out the truth . and i felt like i had to take drastic action . julian : yeah , by letting me grieve for a child that was n't really dead ? olivia : i 'm sorry . i am so sorry for the pain that i caused you . i felt like it was the only way to hide leo , and i thought that i could give him a happy , safe home and all the love that he would ever need . julian : [ chuckles ] olivia ... you do n't think that i would love our child ? olivia : i do n't know . julian , i honestly do n't know you well enough . i mean , sure , sam and lucas are great , but you had nothing to do with raising them . julian : [ sighs ] olivia : and i 'm sure you -- you love your grandchild , but having been a parent and a grandparent , julian , being a parent is so much harder . there 's so many decisions that you have to make for your child and just countless times that you have to put their well - being in front of your own . i do n't know that you can do that . do you ? julian : you never let me try . you made me believe that his life was over before it even started . olivia : my first instinct as a mother was to protect my child . and if you love leo like you say you do , you 'll understand how i feel . julian : [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] jason : all right . [ sighs ] we 're here . we 're alone . this is obviously important . what do you have to tell me ? hmm ? elizabeth : i know you went over to nikolas ' last night to ask about a dna test he had run on you . jason : yes , i did . [ sighs ] elizabeth : and that you and sam broke into his house and hacked his computer . jason : that 's true , too . elizabeth : why ? jason : because he knows who i am . elizabeth : no , he does n't . jason : yes , he does . i know he told you differently , but he does . elizabeth : he would n't keep your identity a secret from me . jason : look , that dna test he had ran on me -- without my permission , which is illegal , by the way , if that helps you -- it came back inconclusive . so , i mean , if that 's the truth , why did the lab delete the results ? elizabeth : you just said it was illegal . he was covering his tracks . jason : he was covering his tracks ? okay , you know what ? it does n't really matter what his motives are . he got what he wanted , and you know what i got ? i got nothing but a dead end . so , there 's no way to find out who i really am anymore . and here i am , lost . elizabeth : jake . jason : what ? ! elizabeth : jake , you know who you are . you 're the man who 's willing to marry me and be a father to my boys . you 're the man who completes our family . i 'm asking you -- just let this go , for our sake . [ scene_break ] sam : how long do you think it would take to hack into the gh mainframe to get jake 's medical records ? spinelli : um , forgive me . while i 'm gratified by your faith in my cyber prowess , would n't it be simpler , not to mention infinitely more legal , for jake just to get the records himself ? sam : i was -- i was kind of hoping to leave him out of this . spinelli : well , but they are his records . sam : yeah , you did see him , spinelli . he was almost ready to put his fist through a wall . spinelli : yeah , his wrath was most awe - inspiring , though i was not unduly concerned with the thought of him venting his negative emotion upon my smaller -- sam : no , are you kidding me -- jake would never put his hands on you , no matter how angry he was . spinelli : well , that is a most comforting observation considering we are contemplating going against his express wishes , not to mention violating his privacy . medical records are strictly confidential . sam : yeah . and if something turns up , then we 'll take it to jake . spinelli : [ sighs ] this is clearly most important to you . sam : yeah , it is . spinelli : [ sighs ] well , then , i shall commence . medical records of one jake doe coming up . patrick : that was a brutal morn -- spinelli ... spinelli : hey ! patrick : ... is in my living room . what 's going on ?

[ scene_break ] jason : you want me to stop searching for my past ? really ? after all this ? hm ? elizabeth : i want you to stop torturing yourself . the way you talk about nikolas with all that ... frustration and anger in your voice , the fact that you broke into wyndemere -- that stuff scares me . i - i 'm not gon na pretend i understand what you 're going through , but do you really want to keep searching for a past you may never find ? i mean , why do you do this to yourself ? can you just let it go ? jason : let me ask you something . if this past that i 'm supposed to let go is an unhappy past and there are people who are looking for me , and they find me , and they find you and they find the kids , what happens ? elizabeth : it 's not gon na happen . it 's not -- it 's just not gon na happen . jason : i got to be sure , honey . elizabeth : i - it 's been a year . no one 's looking for you . jason : [ chuckles ] wow . elizabeth : oh . i 'm sorry . jason : it 's okay , no , you 're -- elizabeth : i know this is gon na sound weird , but i 'm grateful . i 'm grateful , because it gives us a chance to have a life together . ca n't that be enough ? jason : i think it 's more than enough . elizabeth : so you 're gon na stop searching ? jason : well , like i told you . there 's nothing to stop . i 've hit a dead end . i 've got nowhere to go but here . elizabeth : it 's for the best . it is . let the past be in the past . and let 's just focus on our future ... together , okay ? jason : yes , ma'am . let me help you .

'cause you were there , and i found you . and i 'm never letting go . jason : good . 'cause you 're gon na have to be comfortable taking me without a past or a name , 'cause i 'm not letting you go , either . elizabeth : [ chuckles ] just so you know , jake doe works for me . jason : it 's gon na have to work for the both of us . if spinelli ca n't figure out who i am , then i do n't think anybody can .

at the metro court , julian goes to find olivia while she has their mutual baby and tells her he 's onto her and knows his son is right in front of him and she 's lied to him telling him baby leo died . she is not about to let him hold or have anything to do with their baby , which makes him angrier and demanding she lets him have his baby , making her more unwilling to remotely consider any such thing . alexis finds them there and urges julian to let her petition the courts to let him have legal rights to his child . knowing that if he does that , he 's at the mercy of the courts and not wanting to trust or have faith in that , he does not want to go that route or listen to alexis . so he attempts to have a calmer conversation with olivia reminding her that she had him falsely believing his son died . she apologizes and realizes that was cruel to him yet she tells him she has to put the baby 's safety first and can not take her chances on finding out what kind of a father he might be . yet it appears they come to an agreement to share custody of baby leo without any court battles .

[ scene_break ] jason : i thought nothing was ever really deleted . does n't it exist somewhere , like , what is it called ? the cloud -- on a backup of a backup of a hard drive . or does still exist on the hard drive once you erase it ? i thought it was there . spinelli : okay , that 's true in theory , but -- jason : hey , look . can you see me right now ? i do n't have time for theories . i really do n't . so , can you rebuild this file from the lab mainframe or not ? can you do it ? yes or no ? can you do it ? spinelli : it would take months of -- of forensic analysis . jason : months ? ! look , you 're -- you 're the jackal , right ? you 're the greatest hacker that 's ever lived . you ca n't rebuild one file ? not one ? you ca n't do it ? sam : hey -- spinelli : apologies for my limitations . jason : you know what ? you know what ? apologies -- you know what i 'm sorry for ? you really want to know what i 'm sorry for ? i 'm sorry that i thought there was gon na be an end to all this and that you two could help me find some answers . clearly , i was wrong . i 'm sorry for that . sam : hey , we 're doing our best . jason : i know you 're doing your best . i do . i appreciate that , but do me a favor . just stop . do n't do anything else . knock it off . we 're done . it 's over . sam : no , it 's not over . jason : yeah . it 's over . i am not gon na live this way -- asking the same questions over and over and coming to the same ends . this is done . sam : jake , you had a life . you had a life before this . jason : i had a life . i did , and it was stolen from me . it was ripped from me by helena or nikolas or somebody else -- somebody that i ca n't get back at . so just let it -- spinelli : stolen items can often be retrieved . jason : my past is n't sitting somewhere on a mainframe that can be rebuilt by forensic analysis . we 're not gon na find it . it 's gone . it does n't belong to me anymore . let 's ... leave it . thank you .

[ scene_break ] spinelli : so , how do you wish to proceed ? do we abandon the search in deference to mr. doe 's wishes ? sam : i think jake is just frustrated . he does n't want to give up . spinelli : uh , i most respectfully disagree . he seemed quite adamant on the point . sam : you heard him , spinelli . he 's been going through this for over a year . he thinks he 's got a lead , and then he 's right back where he started . spinelli : it is a most demoralizing prospect . sam : and i - i think if jake wants to take a step back , we let him do it . but i want to keep searching . will you help me ? spinelli : yes , with -- with pleasure . but i 'm -- but i 'm -- i 'm not overly optimistic on our odds to retrieve that deleted file from the lab 's mainframe . sam : no , no , no . i think we have to forget about the dna lab . we have to take this from another angle . the only thing we do know for a fact is that jake is tied to helena . spinelli : yes , but i - i would speculate that madame cassadine had any records of jake 's true identity destroyed , which would explain this dearth of information . it seems unthinkable , in the digital age , that there would n't even be the slightest trace of jake 's former self . in fact , this lack of data , to me , points to a very skilled cover - up . sam : okay , well , is there anywhere we should be searching that nikolas and helena could n't reach ? spinelli : perhaps . sam : perhaps ? spinelli : uh ... sam : what are you thinking ? spinelli : well , okay , there must be x - rays , right -- scans , perhaps even an mri of jake 's injuries . and such data , if properly analyzed , could yield a clue as to his true identity . sam : okay , but would -- would n't the doctors have found that ? spinelli : with due respect to the physicians in question , they are not me . they do n't have the cyber proficiency to synthesize the data in such a way that could yield previously -- sam : oh , no , no , no , no , i get what you 're saying . we have to get jake 's medical records .

[ chuckles ] you were strong enough to build yourself up from nothing , strong enough to run your own territory and , hell , strong enough to handle me and hold onto me . sonny : are you sure about that last one ? huh ? 'cause when we got married , i -- i thought this was temporary . it 's not . what kind of -- what kind of husband can i be to you ? what kind of life are you gon na have ? you 're an amazing woman . you deserve better than this . carly : you know what my mother said to me right before i married you ? sonny : yeah -- `` it 's not too late to change your mind . `` carly : she said i would never be happy without you . and [ chuckles ] she 's right . you 're my husband -- my husband , for better or for worse . sonny : well , we 've set a new standard for worse . carly : [ chuckles ] okay , yeah . so , we deal with it . if you fall on the ground , i 'm gon na sit there with you . and if you scream and yell , i 'm gon na scream with you .

lulu : did you find anything else to help you figure out what happened to carly ? nathan : well , the most important thing was the copy of the breakup letter on her laptop , so thank you for that . lulu : all i did was answer the door and point you toward carly 's computer , so ... nathan : [ chuckles ] well , you could have slammed said door in my face and made me go get a warrant . lulu : that would be my dad . nathan : i do n't follow . lulu : he pretty much refuses to cooperate with law enforcement based on principle . nathan : ah . well , you 'd be surprised how many people feel that way . lulu : i 'm not one of them . i ca n't wait to hear what amazing clues you 've uncovered to point you towards carly 's whereabouts . nathan : i do n't know about amazing . uh , but the luggage in an upstairs closet does match the suitcase that we found in the trunk of carly 's car . lulu : so she was all packed to leave town ... and she never made it . nathan : you okay ? lulu : yeah , um ... sorry . i ... do you need to , uh , look around ? nathan : no . no , i 'm good . i should probably get back to the station anyways . you know , catch them up . do you want me to give dante your regards ? dante : west hit pay dirt on the letter . it was typed out on carly 's computer and syncs up with our timeline . anna : i just heard from forensics . dante : and ? anna : blood on the knife -- it 's carly 's . dante : and the prints ? anna : franco 's . dante : so it looks more and more like franco killed carly . ava : subtle . julian : hmm . hey , listen , headlines sell papers . in fact , we sold out the early edition . ava : oh . well , then exploit away . julian : oh , come on , now . i 'm just trying to make an honest living . we have to , uh , have some revenue come in from our legitimate business , otherwise the , uh , feds would have a problem . ava : sure . so , what do you think happened to carly ? nikolas : oh ! hey . elizabeth : hey , stranger . nikolas : good to see you . elizabeth : you , too . what are you doing here ? nikolas : uh , some board meeting , just go over the short list for the new chief of staff . elizabeth : ooh . do i get the inside scoop ? nikolas : there 's nothing finalized yet , but i can tell you who the front runner is -- elizabeth : no , you know what ? forget it . do n't . do n't tell me . do n't tell me . i do n't want to take advantage of our friendship . nikolas : take ad -- you are not remotely taking advantage . although you know what ? elizabeth : uh - oh . nikolas : well , what 'd you do for the holidays ? where were you ? i mean , i kind of expected you to bring the boys by wyndemere and ... i - i realize it was probably entirely my fault . i did n't really call or anything or send a formal invitation . i missed you . elizabeth : i missed you , too . lulu : give dante my regards ? why ? nathan : you said he saved your life when franco strapped you to the bomb . lulu : you 're right . i did . he did . nathan : painful subject ? lulu : kind of . nathan : i 'm sorry for bringing it back up again . lulu : [ scoffs ] do n't be . i 'm all over the place because of carly . nathan : well , dante and i are doing all we can for a positive outcome . lulu : yeah , no , i know . it 's just ... you should go . they are waiting for you at the station , i 'm sure . nathan : yeah . it was nice to meet you , lulu . lulu : nice to meet you , nathan . good luck . nathan : thanks . dante : so , you think we have enough to bring in franco for questioning ? anna : i do n't know . unfortunately , the relevant metro court surveillance footage has been erased . dante : i know . unbelievable . anna : it is , is n't it ? dante : yeah . we have to figure out how that happened . anna : and in the meantime , even though , you know , we have a strong circumstantial case against franco , i just do n't know if it 's gon na be enough to suit our new d.a . dante : what do you mean ? we have carly 's car parked where franco resides . anna : well , for god -- she owns the damn hotel . there 's a thousand reasons why her car would be there . dante : with blood on it and a knife found nearby with franco 's prints , carly 's blood on the knife . i mean , w - what more does the d.a . want to request a warrant ? anna : because he failed to get a conviction of a.j . quartermaine in the connie murder . you know , i just -- i do n't think baldwin is gon na go for another high - profile case unless he can be certain of a guilty verdict . dante : then we have to prove that franco met up with carly ... anna : yeah . dante : ... there was trouble , and something bad happened . julian : how should i know what happened to carly ? what ? do i look like a cop ? ava : uh , no , you 're much better dressed . julian : you know , that is the first nice thing you 've said to me in a month . ava : why should i be nice to you ? you 've taken a blowtorch to my private life . julian : i see . we 're back to morgan , are we ? okay , look , just tell your little grasshopper that , uh , i had nothing to do with carly 's disappearance . ava : neither did i , despite what my daughter thinks . julian : you know , on second thought , the further you stay away from morgan , the better . just , um , keep your mouth shut and let me go on trying franco in the court of public opinion , okay ? ava : to what end ? julian : why ? since when do you care about what happens to franco ? ava : well , i do n't . but kiki is fond of him . julian : she 'll get over it . ava : i just do n't see how it benefits you to barbecue franco in your paper . julian : well , for once , our hands are clean . [ chuckles ] but , uh , it does n't mean the heat wo n't be on us . ava : was n't that the point of getting the new d.a . in our pocket ? julian : well , we do need to remind baldwin who put him in office and what he owes us . but , uh , in the meantime , would n't hurt to keep the focus away from us and on franco , whether he did or not . franco : i must be in the wrong room . sonny : no , it 's your room . [ door closes ] sonny : i hope you do n't mind that i just let myself in . i - i knew you were on your way home from the hospital , where you saw your psychiatrist . kevin collins -- how 's he -- is he helping you out ? franco : a little bit . you 're watching me ? sonny : no , but i got my eyes on you . there 's nothing really here to incriminate you , here in the room that carly pays for . so , how you gon na pay her back , franco ? by making her disappear ? franco : no . sonny : no ? well , if you did n't do it , who did ? heather : wake up . smell the coffee , carly . carly : am i still alive ? oh , god . i 'm in hell . heather : [ scoffs ] how could you be in hell ? we 've got coffee and blts from kelly 's . i paid some derelict kid to go in there and buy them for us . carly : [ groans ] god . oh , you cut me . heather : oh , stop being such a baby . it was just a little cut . i mean , it 's not like i 'm heartless . i took care of you . i gave you a nice bandage and a sedative so you could get a little sleep . and i brought you sandwiches representing all three food groups , and a latte to cover the dairy . carly : i do n't understand . why did you cut me ? heather : because i needed your blood to frame franco for your murder . nikolas : do you accept my apology ? elizabeth : only if you 'll accept mine . i , too , could have called and invited you over . and i wanted to , but i -- nikolas : but you were n't sure how to deal with britt or whether or not you should put her and ben on the invitation . elizabeth : you know , things are a little scratchy between the two of us on a good day , and i did n't want to add that tension to a family holiday , so i just thought it was best to let it go . which i now regret . nikolas : do you ? elizabeth : well , yeah . this whole thing with robin , it 's -- it 's a reminder that people you count on can just suddenly be gone . and even though it 's a miracle she came back , we should n't take for granted the people we care about . you know , for all i know , you could hop on a jet and be back in europe tomorrow morning . nikolas : [ chuckles ] i promise you that that is not in my plans . elizabeth : what are your plans ? nikolas : [ chuckles ] for travel or in general ? elizabeth : how about for this afternoon ? franco : i have no idea who took carly . sonny : [ sniffs ] franco : someone wants to make it look like i 'm responsible . someone wants me to go down for it . and all i want , sonny , is for carly to come home to me , safely , in one piece . sonny : yeah ? is that the best you can do ? saying you 're framed ? franco : yeah . that 's the best i can do is tell you the truth . for all i know , you 're responsible , huh ? maybe you 're behind this , sonny . you wanted carly to dump me . maybe you thought i 'd be out of the way if i were locked up . sonny : a frame - up is not my style . i like the more direct approach . just getting rid of somebody . julian : i did n't ask you here to talk about franco and carly . ava : oh ? is this about sonny ? with carly gone , he 's distracted . he 's vulnerable . julian : mm - hmm . ava : it 's the perfect time to take another swing at him . julian : i 'm already on it . ava : well , i do so love being kept in the loop . julian : okay , fine , i will keep you up to date as things develop . [ sighs , clears throat ] but i did n't ask you here to talk about corinthos , either . there 's someone else . ava : who ? julian : bobbie spencer . lulu : you 're back . bobbie : yeah . any word ? lulu : uh , a detective stopped by to check carly 's computer and walk through the house . you ? bobbie : [ sighs ] i dropped off carly 's , uh , toothbrush at the pcpd , but i have n't heard back yet if the dna on it matches the blood on carly 's car . lulu : so , is there a chance that it could be someone else 's ? bobbie : well , let 's be honest . who else 's blood would be on carly 's car ? lulu : well , we do n't know for sure what happened . i - i may be separated from dante right now , but he is a great detective . if anyone can find carly , it 's him . dante : forensics came back on the knife we found at the scene . the prints are franco 's , and the blood is carly 's . nathan : i heard a little about franco earlier . he sounds like a piece of work . anna : oh , yeah . he 's that . dante : so , commissioner , i just got to put together a timeline here . anna : mm - hmm . and hopefully it 's gon na help us secure a warrant for his arrest . carly : you 're framing franco for my murder ? heather : why is that so hard to believe ? i was good to my son , almost as good as you think you are to yours . i gave him nothing but love and affection . i painted for him when he could n't paint . i was just trying to protect him , carly . i think you know how that feels , trying to protect your son from someone who wants him dead , like you did . i was trying to stop him from getting hurt , and the thanks i get -- i get stabbed in the gut with a knife and buried alive . there 's no forgiving that . there 's only revenge . carly : i do n't understand . how are you going to frame him ? heather : i thought you 'd never ask . dante : so , here 's what we know so far . carly has a lunch plan with michael and his girlfriend at the metro court to tell them about her relationship with franco . michael : if you do n't break up with him , mom , this is gon na end one way -- with you getting hurt . and when that happens , franco , i am finally gon na make you pay for what you did to me and the people i love . dante : michael does n't take the news well . he and kiki leave . carly : i - i 'll make my case again , and -- and michael will see what i see . dante : carly tells franco that she wants to catch up with michael at his father 's restaurant . franco : probably still hate me . carly : nothing 's gon na stop me from being with you . dante : franco watches her step onto the elevator . carly : wait for me , okay ? i 'll be back . heather : i was in the elevator last time franco saw you . i followed you when you left the elevator . anna : and according to carly 's letter , she never found michael . she ran into sonny instead . dante : at sonny 's restaurant . sonny confirmed that . heather : i listened to sonny tell you to dump my son . sonny : how much should michael forgive ? how much should he forget ? do you want to alienate our son ? carly : michael will understand , sonny . sonny : but you have to understand , tumor or not , franco is dangerous . i do n't want to see you get hurt . heather : i heard his unkind words about franco . and boy , were you surprised to see me when you left . carly : [ gasps ] heather . heather : hello , carly . anna : so , after her conversation with sonny , she decides to call it quits with franco . carly : `` sonny made me see i was putting my relationship with you ahead of my son . i can not lose my son over you . `` nathan : we now have confirmation that the breakup letter was written on carly 's home computer and printed on her home printer . heather : of course , we both know you did n't write that letter . it was my own composition . and quite creative , if i do say so myself . really captured your relentlessly self - centered world view . as you heartlessly discarded franco for being a -- how did i put it ? -- a dangerous psychopath ? carly : no . one of the last things i said to franco was that i knew he was n't like that anymore and that i had faith in him . he 's never gon na believe that garbage you wrote . heather : who cares if franco believes it ? he 's not my target audience . anna : so , carly did n't want to break up with franco in person . she was that frightened of him . dante : apparently she had every reason to be . heather : it does n't matter if franco believes you wrote the letter . the cops will . nathan : according to the time stamp , carly was on her home computer typing the breakup letter at 9 : 00 p.m . anna : and she obviously thought that if she left town for a few days , it would give franco time to calm down . dante : but she never made it . heather : it was a little too close for comfort when franco showed up . franco : come on ! open up ! open up ! guess you 're not home after all . heather : so close , yet so far away , my son . come on , carly . we 've got a lot of work to do before the big finish . heather : but we got through it , did n't we , girlfriend ? dante : so we recovered the breakup letter from franco 's room the day after carly disappeared , which is the same day that franco said he found the letter . but we obviously ca n't take his word for it . nathan : and you think he got it the night before ? dante : yeah , i think carly went directly from her house to the hotel because she did n't want to run into franco . anna : no , she probably thought he was asleep . dante : but what if he was n't asleep ? what if franco was there ? he sees the letter . he tears into it , he reads that carly 's through with him . he loses it , runs after her . anna : so , maybe he 's gon na try to convince her not to leave him . heather : i delivered the letter using your master key to get into franco 's room . after i did what had to be done , i almost got caught . i was sure i 'd been made by that witch , ava jerome . but like everyone else , she was too interested in her phone to pay attention to me . carly : you do n't like ava , either ? heather : after what she did , making franco believe that kiki was his daughter ? she 's a loathsome , vile creature . she hurt my son . carly : what does that make you , heather ? what are you doing to franco ? i mean , please , you can end this right now , and you can still have a relationship with your son ! is n't that what you want ? do n't you want to be with your son ? sonny : you were wrong about the frame - up , but you were right about one thing . before carly dropped off the radar , i did try to convince her to stay the hell away from you . and -- and i hope those are n't the last words that i said to her . franco : stop it . why would you say something like that ? sonny : because you 've terrorized the people in my life . that 's why . now , listen , i figured if michael could n't talk carly into dumping you , i could . franco : okay . how 'd that go for you ? sonny : now , he told me that she wrote you a breakup letter , so i 'm sure she -- she heard some of what i was saying . franco : you sure about that ? bobbie : i need to tell lucas what 's happening . lulu : you have n't told him yet ? carly 's his sister . she 's been gone for two days . bobbie : i know . but the minute i tell him , he 's gon na want to drop everything and come here to help . lulu : of course he will ! what 's wrong with that ? bobbie : i 'm afraid he 'll run into his biological father . ava : bobbie spencer . who 's he ? julian : uh , she is luke spencer 's sister and carly 's mother . ava : i thought this was n't about carly 's disappearance . julian : mm - hmm . you 're right . it 's not . ava : okay . since you 've dragged me all the way over here , want to fill me in ? julian : thought you 'd never ask . okay . i know bobbie from my first life here . anyway , i ran into her at kelly 's a few weeks back , and while we were catching up , her phone was on our table , and it started to ring . so i look over , and the caller i.d . says the person calling is lucas . ava : oh , lucas . the mysterious lucas who sam mentioned precisely once and alexis clammed up about and who you think you have some connection with . julian : i do have a connection with lucas . ava : which is ? julian : he 's my , uh ... he 's my son . elizabeth : okay , i know you 're gon na want to say no , but just hear me out , 'cause it 's gon na be a lot of fun , it 's exhilarating , it 's gon na get your heart rate up and your blood pumping . nikolas : okay , w - what is it ? what is this mysterious yet stimulating activity ? what is it ? elizabeth : ice skating . nikolas : are you serious ? elizabeth : yes ! yes ! they have it down at the park ! i know it 's totally against your religion to rent anything , but we can rent skates , and we can have hot chocolate and cider . when was the last time you 've done any of that ? nikolas : clearly you 've thought a lot about this . elizabeth : i 've taken the boys a couple of times , and they have so much fun . but , you know , they do n't skate , so they just fall down , have to scoot them along ... nikolas : and taking me would be different how ? elizabeth : you and aiden and cameron can slip and slide together . and i can get some quality skating time in . nikolas : ah , i see . so -- so basically you 're asking me along so i can -- so i can babysit and for the pleasure of watching me fall down . elizabeth : i am asking for the pleasure of your company . nikolas : [ sighs ] elizabeth : and falling down is just a bonus . lulu : julian jerome is lucas ' biological father ? bobbie : yeah . oh , honey , i 'm so sorry . i mean , i just realized you went through this terrible shock over the baby that you thought was yours and dante 's , and i really hope this story is n't rubbing salt into your wound . lulu : no , i 'm fine . it 's fine . so , lucas knows nothing about julian ? bobbie : well , he knows that julian is his biological father . but he thinks julian is dead . and i want it to stay that way . lulu : what does julian know about lucas ? bobbie : nothing . he is n't even aware that he has a son . ava : so , you have yet another child from yet another one - nighter , and you 're just finding out about him now ? you certainly did spread your seed , did n't you ? julian : [ chuckles ] ava : was this bobbie an underage teenager , as well ? julian : i never slept with bobbie . lucas was adopted . ava : then why would you think he 's yours ? julian : when that phone call came in and bobbie and , uh , luke realized that i 'd seen the name on the phone , luke went through this whole elaborate ruse to prove that he butt - dialed bobbie because luke 's full name is lucas , as well . naturally , i became suspicious , so i did a little digging . turns out that bobbie adopted lucas years ago illegally right here in port charles . ava : well , if the adoption was illegal , then why did she get to keep him ? julian : she did n't . lucas went back to his biological mother . subsequently , there was this huge custody battle between bobbie and this lady by the name of tiffany hill . ava : and she is the -- the woman that you loved and lost ? julian : i did n't sleep with tiffany . but i slept with her sister . a lot . and at the time of my `` premature death , `` i had no idea that she 'd given birth to my son . carly : do n't be like ava , heather . do n't . you can let this go , and you and franco can start over . you -- you can ! it is n't too late to stop this ! but if you continue , there is n't any hope for you and franco ! you will never see him again ! is that what you want ? heather : he killed me , carly . it 's too late . the police have already found the evidence that i planted . carly : oh , god , heather , what did you do ? heather : i did a masterful job . that 's what i did . i delivered that letter , and then i came back here to you to the boathouse . i had the same knife that franco used to kill me . luck would have it , he buried it with me , and his fingerprints were all over it . all i had to do was wipe my blood off it to make room for yours . just a superficial wound so i could collect your blood . and then i drove your car to the metro court parking garage . dante : so , after carly delivered the letter , she heads back to her car , unaware that franco 's on her heels . franco confronts her ... begging her to reconsider . she says no . he gets angry . he 's furious . she wo n't give in . she 's determined to leave . anna : the struggle escalates to the point of violence . heather : face it ! i 'm a genius . i did everything right to the letter , the letter you wrote to franco . i had already put your suitcase in the car when i left the house . now all i had to do was make it look like franco had surprised you and that you two had had a violent physical altercation . the cops will think you 're a victim of the new wave of breakup violence . i 've been hearing so much about it on that 24-hour real - life crime channel . it really is an issue , you know . they say that violent men tend to get more violent when a woman tries to walk away . sonny : i do n't know what you 're getting at . franco : okay , when you told carly that you wanted her to break up with me , did she agree with you ? did she say , `` oh , yeah , sonny . oh , i ca n't wait to do what you 're -- i 'm gon na do exactly that , sonny . `` franco : really ? we 're gon na have that contest ? sonny : well , she would never admit to anybody that -- franco : i know all about carly 's consistent defiance , okay ? it 's actually something that i like about her . let 's just say maybe you did n't get through to her . maybe it was never her intention to leave me . maybe someone else wrote that letter . nathan : the blood is on the side of the car . the weapon was a knife . anna : franco 's violent tendencies are well - documented . he attacks carly . she drops her keys . franco 's trying to stop her from getting in the car . carly fights back . franco takes out the knife . he stabs her . dante : wait . where did franco get the knife ? elizabeth : you are so going to turn me down . nikolas : elizabeth , i do not know how to ice skate , okay ? what if cam , aiden , and -- and i get , uh , stranded on the ice or something ? elizabeth : then i 'll rescue you . nikolas : [ sighs ] i might be harder to get back on my feet than you realize . elizabeth : okay . all right . i 'll accept no for an answer as long as you admit that you 're refusing to go because you do n't want to look undignified . nikolas : i was actually gon na say `` make a total fool of myself , `` but yes , that 's the general idea . elizabeth : all right , all right . just know that you are turning into your uncle stefan . nikolas : what ? elizabeth : yes . nikolas : no , i am not . elizabeth : yes , you are . i 'm sorry , nikolas , but it is happening . all the spontaneity is just being sucked right out of you . and before you know it , you 're gon na be wearing all - dark suits and every word you utter is gon na be at least three syllables . nikolas : is -- is it that bad ? elizabeth : mm - hmm . but you can prove it 's not happening by going skating with me and the boys . [ cell phone rings ] nikolas : i -- hold on . sorry . i have to take this . hey , britt . what 's up ? uh , well , actually , i - i was just -- yeah , yeah , of -- of course . um , of course . i 'm leaving the hospital now . i 'll -- i 'll see you guys soon . bye . [ sighs ] i 'm really sorry . britt and spencer have some surprise for me . i - i just do n't want to disappoint them . elizabeth : yeah , oh , please . i fully understand . nikolas : okay . you 're still gon na go skating , right ? elizabeth : oh , yeah . yeah , yeah , my boys are looking forward to it . nikolas : good . listen , if you ever see me turning into my uncle ... i 'm counting on you to rescue me . elizabeth : it 's a deal . nikolas : okay . bye . dante : so , franco reads carly 's breakup letter , he races out of his hotel room to try and stop her . where does he get the murder weapon from ? nathan : is it possible he had it with him when he left his room ? dante : so , he grabs it on the way out ? i mean , it 's identified as a knife from the metro court kitchen . anna : what if it was n't franco that had the knife ? dante : what are you saying ? anna : we already know that carly was frightened . so she planned for the worst , that she was going to run into franco . she goes to the metro court kitchen before she even delivers the letter , and she gets a knife . she puts it in her purse for protection . she 's trying to get her hands on the knife , but franco tugs the purse away from her . he assumes she 's looking for a weapon , and he finds it himself . it enrages him even more . he loses all control , and he stabs her . dante : there 's just one problem . why are n't carly 's fingerprints on the knife ? anna : because she 's wearing gloves . carly 's trying to stop the bleeding , trying to get away from franco . heather : i made it look like franco stabbed you and you attempted to get away . when the cops put all the pieces of the puzzle together that i left , they 'll arrest franco . dante : carly can barely stand . she uses her bloody gloved hand to hold on to the car . she 's frantic . she collapses by the trunk of the car . anna : and the blood smear near the trunk seems to confirm that . heather : after i made it look like you attempted to get away from franco and his knife , i made it look like you collapsed near the trunk of your car . then i tossed the knife in a nearby trash bin . dante : franco got sloppy . i mean , he must have panicked leaving the knife this close to the crime scene ? anna : yeah . i 'm not sure about this . heather : even anna devane will have to suspect that franco killed you . and all the while , he 's sitting there thinking , `` but i 'm innocent , `` and he wo n't have a clue that i 'm framing him because he thinks he killed me . and he 'll wake up with that suffering suffocation the way i did when the dirt hit my face and the realization that his life is over just the way i thought mine was . only his wife really will be over , because i 'm gon na bury him alive . but i 'm gon na use a cell instead of a grave . carly : poor franco . heather : `` poor franco `` ? poor me ! carly : what 's gon na happen to me ? sonny : you seriously think somebody else wrote that breakup letter ? franco : i seriously think that . sonny : is it that hard for you to believe that carly would leave you ? franco : yes , it is . you know why ? because things were really good with us . sonny : really ? franco : yeah . sonny : oh . okay . franco : carly was wonderful to me . she was . she was going to michael , she was gon na tell him that we were n't gon na break up . she was gon na say that right now , there was nothing that could break us apart . sonny : carly must have been deluding herself . is n't that what was in the letter ? franco : okay , sonny -- sonny : was it in the letter ? franco : i 've done some horrible things in my life . sonny : uh - huh . franco : so have you . sonny : hmm . you gon na compare yourself to me now ? franco : yeah . i am . i think you know what this feels like . it 's terrifying to love a woman , to care about her so much and then know that she may never care back because of all of the things you 've done wrong in your life . and no one in the world seems to get it . no one seems to believe that you might be different now because you love someone . sonny : okay , franco . let 's say you 're telling the truth . who wrote the letter ? franco : oh , god . [ laughs ] i have no idea . there must have been somebody else . somebody else was in the restaurant . they heard you and carly talking . sonny : nobody was there . franco : sonny , there must have been somebody else . sonny : no , there was no one there ! just me and carly ! carly wrote that letter ! so much for these ideas about someone framing you . ava : so , what do you intend to do about your new long - lost child ? julian : well , i intend to meet him and get to know him . ava : oh , julian , please . sam rejected you , so now you want to fill that void with some other love child , this one a son , who might not want to have anything to do with you , either ? julian : well , excuse me if i - i want to be a better father to my kids than our father was to me . ava : nothing like keeping your expectations low . sea turtles make better fathers than victor jerome . at least they simply abandon their offspring to the elements . dad was ... considerably more destructive . julian : and here i thought you were a fan . ava : of the power , prestige . no question . but paternal warmth was not his strong suit . julian : imagine growing up with that , the relentless expectations , him playing me off against his other bastard sons . and then there was lavery . [ scoffs ] the son he never had . please . then there was my lunatic sister . the other sister . compared to her , you 're a bastion of stability . ava : so glad you noticed . julian : hmm . i used to vacillate between [ scoffs ] wanting to prove myself to him ... or being the one to kill him . unfortunately , he died before i could do either one . ava : well , you 're lucky . think of the therapy bills you managed to avoid . julian : i want more than what i had with victor . i want to be a father to my kids . i just want to be somebody that they can forge a relationship with , somebody they can turn to . ava : little late , do n't you think ? if this lucas was born before you `` died , `` then he 's already grown . and sam -- she would n't spit on you if you were on fire . julian : well , she might change her mind , especially if i can get through to lucas . ava : you 'd have to meet him first . julian : well , that can be arranged . ava : julian , if his mother wanted you to know about him , she would have told you . but the fact that she and luke concocted that silly story to cover the phone call , come on . you 're not wanted . julian : [ sighs ] ava : just leave it alone . julian : what about kiki ? are you gon na leave her alone , hmm ? last time i checked , she did n't want anything to do with you , either . so you just gon na , uh , stop trying , pretend she does n't exist ? ava , he 's my son . i have a right to get to know him . and he has a right to know that i 'm his father . bobbie : hey , lucas , it 's me , mom . yeah , i - i know you know it 's me . i , uh ... i , um , i have some bad news . it 's about your sister . franco : there was no one in that restaurant ? there was no one that could have overheard your conversation with carly ? you sure about that ? sonny : how many times i got to tell you i 'm positive ? you were n't counting on that , were you ? franco : no , i 'm -- here 's why . that does n't make any sense . sonny : well , it makes sense to me . carly chose her kids and her family over you . you got to deal with it . franco : okay , hypothetically speaking , let 's say you 're right . let 's say carly wrote the letter , okay ? let 's say that carly is breaking up with me . i could n't hurt her . you know that . i 'm not capable of hurting carly . sonny : you 're not ? oh , you 're not ? really ? the tumor . okay , b - before that operation , you were capable of stalking , murder , making threats against teenage boys , babies in cradles . before you had the surgery , you basically tortured my best friend and everybody he loves , and that includes carly . franco : not carly . i could n't hurt carly . sonny : you do n't strike me as somebody who believes in god . but just in case i 'm wrong , you better pray that they -- they find her . because if they do n't ... you are gon na experience the same hell you inflicted on others , the pain , the fear . you are gon na die slowly , and you 're gon na be screaming . you have my word on that . [ door closes ] heather : and here i was thinking you were so devoted to franco . but you were only thinking of yourself instead . i knew you were no good for my son . carly : franco will figure this out . heather : oh , there 's no way he can prove he 's innocent . no one 's gon na believe him . carly : the police are gon na catch on . you must have made some mistake , heather . heather : i do n't think i did , carly . i really do n't . carly : really ? i had a foolproof security system put in the metro court after connie 's death . anna : i wish to hell we had the metro court security footage . dante : yeah , unfortunately franco covered all his bases . anna : how did he do that ? dante : he got carly 's keys . they were missing , right , so he must have taken her keys to the security office at the metro court , and he deleted the footage that night . heather : it 's a lovely security system , carly . state - of - the - art . i used your master key to get inside and erase the footage of your `` murder . `` anna : the theory we pieced together , it 's not bad . it 's viable for franco 's guilt . except for one thing . if franco did murder carly , where 's her body ? heather : i 'm saving the best for last . i 'm keeping you around so we can enjoy franco 's suffering together . is n't that gon na be fun ? and then when all the pieces fit together , i 'll put the final nail in franco 's coffin . and yours . and i 'll get the police what they need . your body .
nikolas runs into elizabeth at general hospital and tells her that he missed her over the holidays and that he had assumed she would bring the boys over . she invites nikolas to go ice skating with her and the boys . he declines . she says he is getting as stodgy as his uncle , stefan . a phone call from britt , telling him that she and spencer have a surprise for him , serves as his way out .
<s>[INST] lulu : did you find anything else to help you figure out what happened to carly ? nathan : well , the most important thing was the copy of the breakup letter on her laptop , so thank you for that . lulu : all i did was answer the door and point you toward carly 's computer , so ... nathan : [ chuckles ] well , you could have slammed said door in my face and made me go get a warrant . lulu : that would be my dad . nathan : i do n't follow . lulu : he pretty much refuses to cooperate with law enforcement based on principle . nathan : ah . well , you 'd be surprised how many people feel that way . lulu : i 'm not one of them . i ca n't wait to hear what amazing clues you 've uncovered to point you towards carly 's whereabouts . nathan : i do n't know about amazing . uh , but the luggage in an upstairs closet does match the suitcase that we found in the trunk of carly 's car . lulu : so she was all packed to leave town ... and she never made it . nathan : you okay ? lulu : yeah , um ... sorry . i ... do you need to , uh , look around ? nathan : no . no , i 'm good . i should probably get back to the station anyways . you know , catch them up . do you want me to give dante your regards ? dante : west hit pay dirt on the letter . it was typed out on carly 's computer and syncs up with our timeline . anna : i just heard from forensics . dante : and ? anna : blood on the knife -- it 's carly 's . dante : and the prints ? anna : franco 's . dante : so it looks more and more like franco killed carly . ava : subtle . julian : hmm . hey , listen , headlines sell papers . in fact , we sold out the early edition . ava : oh . well , then exploit away . julian : oh , come on , now . i 'm just trying to make an honest living . we have to , uh , have some revenue come in from our legitimate business , otherwise the , uh , feds would have a problem . ava : sure . so , what do you think happened to carly ? nikolas : oh ! hey . elizabeth : hey , stranger . nikolas : good to see you . elizabeth : you , too . what are you doing here ? nikolas : uh , some board meeting , just go over the short list for the new chief of staff . elizabeth : ooh . do i get the inside scoop ? nikolas : there 's nothing finalized yet , but i can tell you who the front runner is -- elizabeth : no , you know what ? forget it . do n't . do n't tell me . do n't tell me . i do n't want to take advantage of our friendship . nikolas : take ad -- you are not remotely taking advantage . although you know what ? elizabeth : uh - oh . nikolas : well , what 'd you do for the holidays ? where were you ? i mean , i kind of expected you to bring the boys by wyndemere and ... i - i realize it was probably entirely my fault . i did n't really call or anything or send a formal invitation . i missed you . elizabeth : i missed you , too . lulu : give dante my regards ? why ? nathan : you said he saved your life when franco strapped you to the bomb . lulu : you 're right . i did . he did . nathan : painful subject ? lulu : kind of . nathan : i 'm sorry for bringing it back up again . lulu : [ scoffs ] do n't be . i 'm all over the place because of carly . nathan : well , dante and i are doing all we can for a positive outcome . lulu : yeah , no , i know . it 's just ... you should go . they are waiting for you at the station , i 'm sure . nathan : yeah . it was nice to meet you , lulu . lulu : nice to meet you , nathan . good luck . nathan : thanks . dante : so , you think we have enough to bring in franco for questioning ? anna : i do n't know . unfortunately , the relevant metro court surveillance footage has been erased . dante : i know . unbelievable . anna : it is , is n't it ? dante : yeah . we have to figure out how that happened . anna : and in the meantime , even though , you know , we have a strong circumstantial case against franco , i just do n't know if it 's gon na be enough to suit our new d.a . dante : what do you mean ? we have carly 's car parked where franco resides . anna : well , for god -- she owns the damn hotel . there 's a thousand reasons why her car would be there . dante : with blood on it and a knife found nearby with franco 's prints , carly 's blood on the knife . i mean , w - what more does the d.a . want to request a warrant ? anna : because he failed to get a conviction of a.j . quartermaine in the connie murder . you know , i just -- i do n't think baldwin is gon na go for another high - profile case unless he can be certain of a guilty verdict . dante : then we have to prove that franco met up with carly ... anna : yeah . dante : ... there was trouble , and something bad happened . julian : how should i know what happened to carly ? what ? do i look like a cop ? ava : uh , no , you 're much better dressed . julian : you know , that is the first nice thing you 've said to me in a month . ava : why should i be nice to you ? you 've taken a blowtorch to my private life . julian : i see . we 're back to morgan , are we ? okay , look , just tell your little grasshopper that , uh , i had nothing to do with carly 's disappearance . ava : neither did i , despite what my daughter thinks . julian : you know , on second thought , the further you stay away from morgan , the better . just , um , keep your mouth shut and let me go on trying franco in the court of public opinion , okay ? ava : to what end ? julian : why ? since when do you care about what happens to franco ? ava : well , i do n't . but kiki is fond of him . julian : she 'll get over it . ava : i just do n't see how it benefits you to barbecue franco in your paper . julian : well , for once , our hands are clean . [ chuckles ] but , uh , it does n't mean the heat wo n't be on us . ava : was n't that the point of getting the new d.a . in our pocket ? julian : well , we do need to remind baldwin who put him in office and what he owes us . but , uh , in the meantime , would n't hurt to keep the focus away from us and on franco , whether he did or not . franco : i must be in the wrong room . sonny : no , it 's your room . [ door closes ] sonny : i hope you do n't mind that i just let myself in . i - i knew you were on your way home from the hospital , where you saw your psychiatrist . kevin collins -- how 's he -- is he helping you out ? franco : a little bit . you 're watching me ? sonny : no , but i got my eyes on you . there 's nothing really here to incriminate you , here in the room that carly pays for . so , how you gon na pay her back , franco ? by making her disappear ? franco : no . sonny : no ? well , if you did n't do it , who did ? heather : wake up . smell the coffee , carly . carly : am i still alive ? oh , god . i 'm in hell . heather : [ scoffs ] how could you be in hell ? we 've got coffee and blts from kelly 's . i paid some derelict kid to go in there and buy them for us . carly : [ groans ] god . oh , you cut me . heather : oh , stop being such a baby . it was just a little cut . i mean , it 's not like i 'm heartless . i took care of you . i gave you a nice bandage and a sedative so you could get a little sleep . and i brought you sandwiches representing all three food groups , and a latte to cover the dairy . carly : i do n't understand . why did you cut me ? heather : because i needed your blood to frame franco for your murder . nikolas : do you accept my apology ? elizabeth : only if you 'll accept mine . i , too , could have called and invited you over . and i wanted to , but i -- nikolas : but you were n't sure how to deal with britt or whether or not you should put her and ben on the invitation . elizabeth : you know , things are a little scratchy between the two of us on a good day , and i did n't want to add that tension to a family holiday , so i just thought it was best to let it go . which i now regret . nikolas : do you ? elizabeth : well , yeah . this whole thing with robin , it 's -- it 's a reminder that people you count on can just suddenly be gone . and even though it 's a miracle she came back , we should n't take for granted the people we care about . you know , for all i know , you could hop on a jet and be back in europe tomorrow morning . nikolas : [ chuckles ] i promise you that that is not in my plans . elizabeth : what are your plans ? nikolas : [ chuckles ] for travel or in general ? elizabeth : how about for this afternoon ? franco : i have no idea who took carly . sonny : [ sniffs ] franco : someone wants to make it look like i 'm responsible . someone wants me to go down for it . and all i want , sonny , is for carly to come home to me , safely , in one piece . sonny : yeah ? is that the best you can do ? saying you 're framed ? franco : yeah . that 's the best i can do is tell you the truth . for all i know , you 're responsible , huh ? maybe you 're behind this , sonny . you wanted carly to dump me . maybe you thought i 'd be out of the way if i were locked up . sonny : a frame - up is not my style . i like the more direct approach . just getting rid of somebody . julian : i did n't ask you here to talk about franco and carly . ava : oh ? is this about sonny ? with carly gone , he 's distracted . he 's vulnerable . julian : mm - hmm . ava : it 's the perfect time to take another swing at him . julian : i 'm already on it . ava : well , i do so love being kept in the loop . julian : okay , fine , i will keep you up to date as things develop . [ sighs , clears throat ] but i did n't ask you here to talk about corinthos , either . there 's someone else . ava : who ? julian : bobbie spencer . lulu : you 're back . bobbie : yeah . any word ? lulu : uh , a detective stopped by to check carly 's computer and walk through the house . you ? bobbie : [ sighs ] i dropped off carly 's , uh , toothbrush at the pcpd , but i have n't heard back yet if the dna on it matches the blood on carly 's car . lulu : so , is there a chance that it could be someone else 's ? bobbie : well , let 's be honest . who else 's blood would be on carly 's car ? lulu : well , we do n't know for sure what happened . i - i may be separated from dante right now , but he is a great detective . if anyone can find carly , it 's him . dante : forensics came back on the knife we found at the scene . the prints are franco 's , and the blood is carly 's . nathan : i heard a little about franco earlier . he sounds like a piece of work . anna : oh , yeah . he 's that . dante : so , commissioner , i just got to put together a timeline here . anna : mm - hmm . and hopefully it 's gon na help us secure a warrant for his arrest . carly : you 're framing franco for my murder ? heather : why is that so hard to believe ? i was good to my son , almost as good as you think you are to yours . i gave him nothing but love and affection . i painted for him when he could n't paint . i was just trying to protect him , carly . i think you know how that feels , trying to protect your son from someone who wants him dead , like you did . i was trying to stop him from getting hurt , and the thanks i get -- i get stabbed in the gut with a knife and buried alive . there 's no forgiving that . there 's only revenge . carly : i do n't understand . how are you going to frame him ? heather : i thought you 'd never ask . dante : so , here 's what we know so far . carly has a lunch plan with michael and his girlfriend at the metro court to tell them about her relationship with franco . michael : if you do n't break up with him , mom , this is gon na end one way -- with you getting hurt . and when that happens , franco , i am finally gon na make you pay for what you did to me and the people i love . dante : michael does n't take the news well . he and kiki leave . carly : i - i 'll make my case again , and -- and michael will see what i see . dante : carly tells franco that she wants to catch up with michael at his father 's restaurant . franco : probably still hate me . carly : nothing 's gon na stop me from being with you . dante : franco watches her step onto the elevator . carly : wait for me , okay ? i 'll be back . heather : i was in the elevator last time franco saw you . i followed you when you left the elevator . anna : and according to carly 's letter , she never found michael . she ran into sonny instead . dante : at sonny 's restaurant . sonny confirmed that . heather : i listened to sonny tell you to dump my son . sonny : how much should michael forgive ? how much should he forget ? do you want to alienate our son ? carly : michael will understand , sonny . sonny : but you have to understand , tumor or not , franco is dangerous . i do n't want to see you get hurt . heather : i heard his unkind words about franco . and boy , were you surprised to see me when you left . carly : [ gasps ] heather . heather : hello , carly . anna : so , after her conversation with sonny , she decides to call it quits with franco . carly : `` sonny made me see i was putting my relationship with you ahead of my son . i can not lose my son over you . `` nathan : we now have confirmation that the breakup letter was written on carly 's home computer and printed on her home printer . heather : of course , we both know you did n't write that letter . it was my own composition . and quite creative , if i do say so myself . really captured your relentlessly self - centered world view . as you heartlessly discarded franco for being a -- how did i put it ? -- a dangerous psychopath ? carly : no . one of the last things i said to franco was that i knew he was n't like that anymore and that i had faith in him . he 's never gon na believe that garbage you wrote . heather : who cares if franco believes it ? he 's not my target audience . anna : so , carly did n't want to break up with franco in person . she was that frightened of him . dante : apparently she had every reason to be . heather : it does n't matter if franco believes you wrote the letter . the cops will . nathan : according to the time stamp , carly was on her home computer typing the breakup letter at 9 : 00 p.m . anna : and she obviously thought that if she left town for a few days , it would give franco time to calm down . dante : but she never made it . heather : it was a little too close for comfort when franco showed up . franco : come on ! open up ! open up ! guess you 're not home after all . heather : so close , yet so far away , my son . come on , carly . we 've got a lot of work to do before the big finish . heather : but we got through it , did n't we , girlfriend ? dante : so we recovered the breakup letter from franco 's room the day after carly disappeared , which is the same day that franco said he found the letter . but we obviously ca n't take his word for it . nathan : and you think he got it the night before ? dante : yeah , i think carly went directly from her house to the hotel because she did n't want to run into franco . anna : no , she probably thought he was asleep . dante : but what if he was n't asleep ? what if franco was there ? he sees the letter . he tears into it , he reads that carly 's through with him . he loses it , runs after her . anna : so , maybe he 's gon na try to convince her not to leave him . heather : i delivered the letter using your master key to get into franco 's room . after i did what had to be done , i almost got caught . i was sure i 'd been made by that witch , ava jerome . but like everyone else , she was too interested in her phone to pay attention to me . carly : you do n't like ava , either ? heather : after what she did , making franco believe that kiki was his daughter ? she 's a loathsome , vile creature . she hurt my son . carly : what does that make you , heather ? what are you doing to franco ? i mean , please , you can end this right now , and you can still have a relationship with your son ! is n't that what you want ? do n't you want to be with your son ? sonny : you were wrong about the frame - up , but you were right about one thing . before carly dropped off the radar , i did try to convince her to stay the hell away from you . and -- and i hope those are n't the last words that i said to her . franco : stop it . why would you say something like that ? sonny : because you 've terrorized the people in my life . that 's why . now , listen , i figured if michael could n't talk carly into dumping you , i could . franco : okay . how 'd that go for you ? sonny : now , he told me that she wrote you a breakup letter , so i 'm sure she -- she heard some of what i was saying . franco : you sure about that ? bobbie : i need to tell lucas what 's happening . lulu : you have n't told him yet ? carly 's his sister . she 's been gone for two days . bobbie : i know . but the minute i tell him , he 's gon na want to drop everything and come here to help . lulu : of course he will ! what 's wrong with that ? bobbie : i 'm afraid he 'll run into his biological father . ava : bobbie spencer . who 's he ? julian : uh , she is luke spencer 's sister and carly 's mother . ava : i thought this was n't about carly 's disappearance . julian : mm - hmm . you 're right . it 's not . ava : okay . since you 've dragged me all the way over here , want to fill me in ? julian : thought you 'd never ask . okay . i know bobbie from my first life here . anyway , i ran into her at kelly 's a few weeks back , and while we were catching up , her phone was on our table , and it started to ring . so i look over , and the caller i.d . says the person calling is lucas . ava : oh , lucas . the mysterious lucas who sam mentioned precisely once and alexis clammed up about and who you think you have some connection with . julian : i do have a connection with lucas . ava : which is ? julian : he 's my , uh ... he 's my son . elizabeth : okay , i know you 're gon na want to say no , but just hear me out , 'cause it 's gon na be a lot of fun , it 's exhilarating , it 's gon na get your heart rate up and your blood pumping . nikolas : okay , w - what is it ? what is this mysterious yet stimulating activity ? what is it ? elizabeth : ice skating . nikolas : are you serious ? elizabeth : yes ! yes ! they have it down at the park ! i know it 's totally against your religion to rent anything , but we can rent skates , and we can have hot chocolate and cider . when was the last time you 've done any of that ? nikolas : clearly you 've thought a lot about this . elizabeth : i 've taken the boys a couple of times , and they have so much fun . but , you know , they do n't skate , so they just fall down , have to scoot them along ... nikolas : and taking me would be different how ? elizabeth : you and aiden and cameron can slip and slide together . and i can get some quality skating time in . nikolas : ah , i see . so -- so basically you 're asking me along so i can -- so i can babysit and for the pleasure of watching me fall down . elizabeth : i am asking for the pleasure of your company . nikolas : [ sighs ] elizabeth : and falling down is just a bonus . lulu : julian jerome is lucas ' biological father ? bobbie : yeah . oh , honey , i 'm so sorry . i mean , i just realized you went through this terrible shock over the baby that you thought was yours and dante 's , and i really hope this story is n't rubbing salt into your wound . lulu : no , i 'm fine . it 's fine . so , lucas knows nothing about julian ? bobbie : well , he knows that julian is his biological father . but he thinks julian is dead . and i want it to stay that way . lulu : what does julian know about lucas ? bobbie : nothing . he is n't even aware that he has a son . ava : so , you have yet another child from yet another one - nighter , and you 're just finding out about him now ? you certainly did spread your seed , did n't you ? julian : [ chuckles ] ava : was this bobbie an underage teenager , as well ? julian : i never slept with bobbie . lucas was adopted . ava : then why would you think he 's yours ? julian : when that phone call came in and bobbie and , uh , luke realized that i 'd seen the name on the phone , luke went through this whole elaborate ruse to prove that he butt - dialed bobbie because luke 's full name is lucas , as well . naturally , i became suspicious , so i did a little digging . turns out that bobbie adopted lucas years ago illegally right here in port charles . ava : well , if the adoption was illegal , then why did she get to keep him ? julian : she did n't . lucas went back to his biological mother . subsequently , there was this huge custody battle between bobbie and this lady by the name of tiffany hill . ava : and she is the -- the woman that you loved and lost ? julian : i did n't sleep with tiffany . but i slept with her sister . a lot . and at the time of my `` premature death , `` i had no idea that she 'd given birth to my son . carly : do n't be like ava , heather . do n't . you can let this go , and you and franco can start over . you -- you can ! it is n't too late to stop this ! but if you continue , there is n't any hope for you and franco ! you will never see him again ! is that what you want ? heather : he killed me , carly . it 's too late . the police have already found the evidence that i planted . carly : oh , god , heather , what did you do ? heather : i did a masterful job . that 's what i did . i delivered that letter , and then i came back here to you to the boathouse . i had the same knife that franco used to kill me . luck would have it , he buried it with me , and his fingerprints were all over it . all i had to do was wipe my blood off it to make room for yours . just a superficial wound so i could collect your blood . and then i drove your car to the metro court parking garage . dante : so , after carly delivered the letter , she heads back to her car , unaware that franco 's on her heels . franco confronts her ... begging her to reconsider . she says no . he gets angry . he 's furious . she wo n't give in . she 's determined to leave . anna : the struggle escalates to the point of violence . heather : face it ! i 'm a genius . i did everything right to the letter , the letter you wrote to franco . i had already put your suitcase in the car when i left the house . now all i had to do was make it look like franco had surprised you and that you two had had a violent physical altercation . the cops will think you 're a victim of the new wave of breakup violence . i 've been hearing so much about it on that 24-hour real - life crime channel . it really is an issue , you know . they say that violent men tend to get more violent when a woman tries to walk away . sonny : i do n't know what you 're getting at . franco : okay , when you told carly that you wanted her to break up with me , did she agree with you ? did she say , `` oh , yeah , sonny . oh , i ca n't wait to do what you 're -- i 'm gon na do exactly that , sonny . `` franco : really ? we 're gon na have that contest ? sonny : well , she would never admit to anybody that -- franco : i know all about carly 's consistent defiance , okay ? it 's actually something that i like about her . let 's just say maybe you did n't get through to her . maybe it was never her intention to leave me . maybe someone else wrote that letter . nathan : the blood is on the side of the car . the weapon was a knife . anna : franco 's violent tendencies are well - documented . he attacks carly . she drops her keys . franco 's trying to stop her from getting in the car . carly fights back . franco takes out the knife . he stabs her . dante : wait . where did franco get the knife ? elizabeth : you are so going to turn me down . nikolas : elizabeth , i do not know how to ice skate , okay ? what if cam , aiden , and -- and i get , uh , stranded on the ice or something ? elizabeth : then i 'll rescue you . nikolas : [ sighs ] i might be harder to get back on my feet than you realize . elizabeth : okay . all right . i 'll accept no for an answer as long as you admit that you 're refusing to go because you do n't want to look undignified . nikolas : i was actually gon na say `` make a total fool of myself , `` but yes , that 's the general idea . elizabeth : all right , all right . just know that you are turning into your uncle stefan . nikolas : what ? elizabeth : yes . nikolas : no , i am not . elizabeth : yes , you are . i 'm sorry , nikolas , but it is happening . all the spontaneity is just being sucked right out of you . and before you know it , you 're gon na be wearing all - dark suits and every word you utter is gon na be at least three syllables . nikolas : is -- is it that bad ? elizabeth : mm - hmm . but you can prove it 's not happening by going skating with me and the boys . [ cell phone rings ] nikolas : i -- hold on . sorry . i have to take this . hey , britt . what 's up ? uh , well , actually , i - i was just -- yeah , yeah , of -- of course . um , of course . i 'm leaving the hospital now . i 'll -- i 'll see you guys soon . bye . [ sighs ] i 'm really sorry . britt and spencer have some surprise for me . i - i just do n't want to disappoint them . elizabeth : yeah , oh , please . i fully understand . nikolas : okay . you 're still gon na go skating , right ? elizabeth : oh , yeah . yeah , yeah , my boys are looking forward to it . nikolas : good . listen , if you ever see me turning into my uncle ... i 'm counting on you to rescue me . elizabeth : it 's a deal . nikolas : okay . bye . dante : so , franco reads carly 's breakup letter , he races out of his hotel room to try and stop her . where does he get the murder weapon from ? nathan : is it possible he had it with him when he left his room ? dante : so , he grabs it on the way out ? i mean , it 's identified as a knife from the metro court kitchen . anna : what if it was n't franco that had the knife ? dante : what are you saying ? anna : we already know that carly was frightened . so she planned for the worst , that she was going to run into franco . she goes to the metro court kitchen before she even delivers the letter , and she gets a knife . she puts it in her purse for protection . she 's trying to get her hands on the knife , but franco tugs the purse away from her . he assumes she 's looking for a weapon , and he finds it himself . it enrages him even more . he loses all control , and he stabs her . dante : there 's just one problem . why are n't carly 's fingerprints on the knife ? anna : because she 's wearing gloves . carly 's trying to stop the bleeding , trying to get away from franco . heather : i made it look like franco stabbed you and you attempted to get away . when the cops put all the pieces of the puzzle together that i left , they 'll arrest franco . dante : carly can barely stand . she uses her bloody gloved hand to hold on to the car . she 's frantic . she collapses by the trunk of the car . anna : and the blood smear near the trunk seems to confirm that . heather : after i made it look like you attempted to get away from franco and his knife , i made it look like you collapsed near the trunk of your car . then i tossed the knife in a nearby trash bin . dante : franco got sloppy . i mean , he must have panicked leaving the knife this close to the crime scene ? anna : yeah . i 'm not sure about this . heather : even anna devane will have to suspect that franco killed you . and all the while , he 's sitting there thinking , `` but i 'm innocent , `` and he wo n't have a clue that i 'm framing him because he thinks he killed me . and he 'll wake up with that suffering suffocation the way i did when the dirt hit my face and the realization that his life is over just the way i thought mine was . only his wife really will be over , because i 'm gon na bury him alive . but i 'm gon na use a cell instead of a grave . carly : poor franco . heather : `` poor franco `` ? poor me ! carly : what 's gon na happen to me ? sonny : you seriously think somebody else wrote that breakup letter ? franco : i seriously think that . sonny : is it that hard for you to believe that carly would leave you ? franco : yes , it is . you know why ? because things were really good with us . sonny : really ? franco : yeah . sonny : oh . okay . franco : carly was wonderful to me . she was . she was going to michael , she was gon na tell him that we were n't gon na break up . she was gon na say that right now , there was nothing that could break us apart . sonny : carly must have been deluding herself . is n't that what was in the letter ? franco : okay , sonny -- sonny : was it in the letter ? franco : i 've done some horrible things in my life . sonny : uh - huh . franco : so have you . sonny : hmm . you gon na compare yourself to me now ? franco : yeah . i am . i think you know what this feels like . it 's terrifying to love a woman , to care about her so much and then know that she may never care back because of all of the things you 've done wrong in your life . and no one in the world seems to get it . no one seems to believe that you might be different now because you love someone . sonny : okay , franco . let 's say you 're telling the truth . who wrote the letter ? franco : oh , god . [ laughs ] i have no idea . there must have been somebody else . somebody else was in the restaurant . they heard you and carly talking . sonny : nobody was there . franco : sonny , there must have been somebody else . sonny : no , there was no one there ! just me and carly ! carly wrote that letter ! so much for these ideas about someone framing you . ava : so , what do you intend to do about your new long - lost child ? julian : well , i intend to meet him and get to know him . ava : oh , julian , please . sam rejected you , so now you want to fill that void with some other love child , this one a son , who might not want to have anything to do with you , either ? julian : well , excuse me if i - i want to be a better father to my kids than our father was to me . ava : nothing like keeping your expectations low . sea turtles make better fathers than victor jerome . at least they simply abandon their offspring to the elements . dad was ... considerably more destructive . julian : and here i thought you were a fan . ava : of the power , prestige . no question . but paternal warmth was not his strong suit . julian : imagine growing up with that , the relentless expectations , him playing me off against his other bastard sons . and then there was lavery . [ scoffs ] the son he never had . please . then there was my lunatic sister . the other sister . compared to her , you 're a bastion of stability . ava : so glad you noticed . julian : hmm . i used to vacillate between [ scoffs ] wanting to prove myself to him ... or being the one to kill him . unfortunately , he died before i could do either one . ava : well , you 're lucky . think of the therapy bills you managed to avoid . julian : i want more than what i had with victor . i want to be a father to my kids . i just want to be somebody that they can forge a relationship with , somebody they can turn to . ava : little late , do n't you think ? if this lucas was born before you `` died , `` then he 's already grown . and sam -- she would n't spit on you if you were on fire . julian : well , she might change her mind , especially if i can get through to lucas . ava : you 'd have to meet him first . julian : well , that can be arranged . ava : julian , if his mother wanted you to know about him , she would have told you . but the fact that she and luke concocted that silly story to cover the phone call , come on . you 're not wanted . julian : [ sighs ] ava : just leave it alone . julian : what about kiki ? are you gon na leave her alone , hmm ? last time i checked , she did n't want anything to do with you , either . so you just gon na , uh , stop trying , pretend she does n't exist ? ava , he 's my son . i have a right to get to know him . and he has a right to know that i 'm his father . bobbie : hey , lucas , it 's me , mom . yeah , i - i know you know it 's me . i , uh ... i , um , i have some bad news . it 's about your sister . franco : there was no one in that restaurant ? there was no one that could have overheard your conversation with carly ? you sure about that ? sonny : how many times i got to tell you i 'm positive ? you were n't counting on that , were you ? franco : no , i 'm -- here 's why . that does n't make any sense . sonny : well , it makes sense to me . carly chose her kids and her family over you . you got to deal with it . franco : okay , hypothetically speaking , let 's say you 're right . let 's say carly wrote the letter , okay ? let 's say that carly is breaking up with me . i could n't hurt her . you know that . i 'm not capable of hurting carly . sonny : you 're not ? oh , you 're not ? really ? the tumor . okay , b - before that operation , you were capable of stalking , murder , making threats against teenage boys , babies in cradles . before you had the surgery , you basically tortured my best friend and everybody he loves , and that includes carly . franco : not carly . i could n't hurt carly . sonny : you do n't strike me as somebody who believes in god . but just in case i 'm wrong , you better pray that they -- they find her . because if they do n't ... you are gon na experience the same hell you inflicted on others , the pain , the fear . you are gon na die slowly , and you 're gon na be screaming . you have my word on that . [ door closes ] heather : and here i was thinking you were so devoted to franco . but you were only thinking of yourself instead . i knew you were no good for my son . carly : franco will figure this out . heather : oh , there 's no way he can prove he 's innocent . no one 's gon na believe him . carly : the police are gon na catch on . you must have made some mistake , heather . heather : i do n't think i did , carly . i really do n't . carly : really ? i had a foolproof security system put in the metro court after connie 's death . anna : i wish to hell we had the metro court security footage . dante : yeah , unfortunately franco covered all his bases . anna : how did he do that ? dante : he got carly 's keys . they were missing , right , so he must have taken her keys to the security office at the metro court , and he deleted the footage that night . heather : it 's a lovely security system , carly . state - of - the - art . i used your master key to get inside and erase the footage of your `` murder . `` anna : the theory we pieced together , it 's not bad . it 's viable for franco 's guilt . except for one thing . if franco did murder carly , where 's her body ? heather : i 'm saving the best for last . i 'm keeping you around so we can enjoy franco 's suffering together . is n't that gon na be fun ? and then when all the pieces fit together , i 'll put the final nail in franco 's coffin . and yours . and i 'll get the police what they need . your body .Summarize.[/INST]nikolas runs into elizabeth at general hospital and tells her that he missed her over the holidays and that he had assumed she would bring the boys over . she invites nikolas to go ice skating with her and the boys . he declines . she says he is getting as stodgy as his uncle , stefan . a phone call from britt , telling him that she and spencer have a surprise for him , serves as his way out .</s>

someone who might know his travel plans ? adrienne : if he does , i do n't know that person 's name . lucas : listen , i 'm sure there 's a very good explanation for why you have n't heard from him . adrienne : oh , i 'm sure there is . and i think i know what it is . sonny : this is what you 've been working on night and day ? a movie about a bunch of old people stuck in a hotel in croatia ? will : what ? no , it 's my boss 's brilliant idea at increasing advertising revenue . it 's a pop - up ad that keeps the reader from viewing the article for 30 seconds . sonny : oh , that 's kind of annoying . will : yeah , zoe says that it lets the advertiser keep track of who 's viewing the ad , but yes , it 's annoying . ah , here 's the article . oh . sonny : hey , dad . justin : hey . you 're smiling . that 's a good sign . sonny : i 'm gon na be okay . justin : thank god . both : ohh . paul : look , sonny and i were together a long time ago . there 's no way that he 'd care about me being with somebody else . if you 're telling me that to get some kind of rise out of me -- derrick : i told you because i feel so bad , all right ? if i 'd kept my mouth shut , sonny would n't have run out of the club , he would n't have been right off the town square and he would n't have gotten stabbed . paul : you do n't know that . derrick : well , there 's another reason i feel guilty . i 've -- i did n't tell you all this right away because i was hoping i had a shot with you myself . i know , not gon na happen , but you 've been really decent to me , and well , i started thinking that if you still care about sonny , you deserve to know the truth . paul : what truth ? derrick : sonny was here twice , and both times , i could tell it was more than just dropping in on an old friend . paul : it was ? derrick : i think you could make it work again with sonny . i mean , if that 's what you want . aiden : what -- why do you keep trying to run away from me ? oh , my god . you 're scared of me now , are n't you ? are n't you ? hope : i do n't know what to feel . i do n't know what to feel . i thought i knew you . i fell in love with you , aiden . how could i be in love with a man who murdered his son 's mother ?

victor : that 's it . clyde : so i 'm supposed to believe that the great victor kiriakis is just gon na roll over and play dead ? you must take me for some kind of fool . kate : you know , i have things to do as well . why did n't you just tell will that you were too busy to babysit ? marlena : he had brought ari to the hospital to see sonny , and then i volunteered to bring her home to the sitter so they could have some private time . kate : oh , i see . marlena : and he promised me the sitter would be here on time . kate : well , did you call her ? did you check messages ? marlena : well , she 's not that late yet . kate : okay , i 'll do it . marlena : okay , fine . kate : by the way , how did sonny and will seem to you ? marlena : well , sonny had a good night , he seemed stronger , so of course will was very relieved . kate : hmm . no , i - i mean how were they acting towards each other ? marlena : what are you getting at ? i know that will and sonny have had some problems , but i thought -- hey . is there something going on between sonny and will that i should know about ? kate : no , there does n't seem to be a message from her . i wonder where she is . marlena : you did n't seem to answer my question . will : grandma , i slept with paul . paul : [ sighs ] that ball was the one and only ball that i ever hit out of the park for my one and only major league home run . sonny : and you 're giving it to me ?

who did this to you ? what are the police doing about it ? what 's going on ? sonny : this is great . justin : what is ? sonny : having a dad again . all i had to do to make it happen was get stabbed in the back . lucas : here you go . you know what , i think you should talk to justin before you jump to any conclusions , okay ? adrienne : we both know i already jumped to that conclusion before this happened to sonny . lucas : listen , i 'm sure there are a lot of reasons why he was delayed . adrienne : okay , ' cause -- i appreciate you trying to convince me that there 's nothing going on and that everything 's fine between justin and me , but you know what ? i do n't even want to think about that right now . sonny 's what 's important . thank god he 's okay , you know ? when i got that phone call , i -- lucas : i know , i know . i saw the look on your face . adrienne : well , you know what that 's like . lucas : yeah , i do . adrienne : sonny 's lucky . he 's gon na be fine , and the last thing he needs to do is worry that there 's a problem between his dad and me . lucas : exactly . exactly , so why do n't we just go see him right now , okay ?

[ panting ] lucas : well , you know , justin probably was n't thinking straight when you told him about sonny . adrienne : right , i 'm sure that 's it . lucas : does he have an assistant you could talk to ? someone who might know his travel plans ? adrienne : if he does , i do n't know that person 's name . lucas : listen , i 'm sure there 's a very good explanation for why you have n't heard from him . adrienne : oh , i 'm sure there is . and i think i know what it is . sonny : this is what you 've been working on night and day ? a movie about a bunch of old people stuck in a hotel in croatia ? will : what ? no , it 's my boss 's brilliant idea at increasing advertising revenue . it 's a pop - up ad that keeps the reader from viewing the article for 30 seconds . sonny : oh , that 's kind of annoying . will : yeah , zoe says that it lets the advertiser keep track of who 's viewing the ad , but yes , it 's annoying . ah , here 's the article . oh . sonny : hey , dad . justin : hey . you 're smiling . that 's a good sign . sonny : i 'm gon na be okay . justin : thank god . both : ohh . paul : look , sonny and i were together a long time ago . there 's no way that he 'd care about me being with somebody else . if you 're telling me that to get some kind of rise out of me -- derrick : i told you because i feel so bad , all right ? if i 'd kept my mouth shut , sonny would n't have run out of the club , he would n't have been right off the town square and he would n't have gotten stabbed . paul : you do n't know that . derrick : well , there 's another reason i feel guilty . i 've -- i did n't tell you all this right away because i was hoping i had a shot with you myself . i know , not gon na happen , but you 've been really decent to me , and well , i started thinking that if you still care about sonny , you deserve to know the truth . paul : what truth ? derrick : sonny was here twice , and both times , i could tell it was more than just dropping in on an old friend . paul : it was ? derrick : i think you could make it work again with sonny . i mean , if that 's what you want . aiden : what -- why do you keep trying to run away from me ? oh , my god . you 're scared of me now , are n't you ? are n't you ? hope : i do n't know what to feel . i do n't know what to feel . i thought i knew you . i fell in love with you , aiden . how could i be in love with a man who murdered his son 's mother ? clyde : i 've already said everything i 've got to say to you , victor . victor : well , now it 's my turn . clyde : okay . i 'm listening . victor : i have taken steps to make sure that my men do n't give you or any of your men any trouble when it comes to your trucking business . clyde : [ chuckles ] and why should i believe a word that comes out of your mouth ? victor : just check around . i 've also done everything i can to secure new jobs for my men . i told them that we were shutting down . now , if you do n't want to take any of them on , i can understand that . clyde : that 's big of you . victor : but i would rethink it if i were you . they 're good men . clyde : what else ? victor : that 's it . clyde : so i 'm supposed to believe that the great victor kiriakis is just gon na roll over and play dead ? you must take me for some kind of fool . kate : you know , i have things to do as well . why did n't you just tell will that you were too busy to babysit ? marlena : he had brought ari to the hospital to see sonny , and then i volunteered to bring her home to the sitter so they could have some private time . kate : oh , i see . marlena : and he promised me the sitter would be here on time . kate : well , did you call her ? did you check messages ? marlena : well , she 's not that late yet . kate : okay , i 'll do it . marlena : okay , fine . kate : by the way , how did sonny and will seem to you ? marlena : well , sonny had a good night , he seemed stronger , so of course will was very relieved . kate : hmm . no , i - i mean how were they acting towards each other ? marlena : what are you getting at ? i know that will and sonny have had some problems , but i thought -- hey . is there something going on between sonny and will that i should know about ? kate : no , there does n't seem to be a message from her . i wonder where she is . marlena : you did n't seem to answer my question . will : grandma , i slept with paul . paul : [ sighs ] that ball was the one and only ball that i ever hit out of the park for my one and only major league home run . sonny : and you 're giving it to me ? paul : i am . merry christmas , sonny . sonny : i love it . and i love you . derrick : i think you could make it work again with sonny , i mean , if that 's what you want . paul : damn it . that is what i want . justin : i 'm sorry it took me so long to get back here . sonny : why is n't mom with you ? justin : actually , i thought she 'd already be here , so i came straight from the airport . hey , will . will : hey . justin : thanks for taking such good care of my son . will : thank kayla , and daniel . justin : yeah , so how did this happen ? who did this to you ? will : i 'm gon na let you two catch up . give me a chance to check on ari . is it okay if i go ? sonny : you 've been great . justin : so i want to see that little baby of yours . i 've been seeing the pictures , and i can see she 's growing up pretty fast . will : [ laughs ] she is . she is , but she 'll always be our little girl . do n't wear him out , and do n't let him wear himself out . justin : i wo n't , i wo n't . will : okay . justin : sonny , tell me everything . how did it happen ? who did this to you ? what are the police doing about it ? what 's going on ? sonny : this is great . justin : what is ? sonny : having a dad again . all i had to do to make it happen was get stabbed in the back . lucas : here you go . you know what , i think you should talk to justin before you jump to any conclusions , okay ? adrienne : we both know i already jumped to that conclusion before this happened to sonny . lucas : listen , i 'm sure there are a lot of reasons why he was delayed . adrienne : okay , ' cause -- i appreciate you trying to convince me that there 's nothing going on and that everything 's fine between justin and me , but you know what ? i do n't even want to think about that right now . sonny 's what 's important . thank god he 's okay , you know ? when i got that phone call , i -- lucas : i know , i know . i saw the look on your face . adrienne : well , you know what that 's like . lucas : yeah , i do . adrienne : sonny 's lucky . he 's gon na be fine , and the last thing he needs to do is worry that there 's a problem between his dad and me . lucas : exactly . exactly , so why do n't we just go see him right now , okay ?

[ phone beeps ] i hope you do n't mind that i stuck around . i just needed to make a few calls . chad : no , not at all . i 'm just trying to see what the market is doing right now . abigail : um , actually , you know , i know that this is silly , but ... just a minute ago , before gabi interrupted us , i felt like ... maybe you were gon na kiss me , and ... am i wrong ? male announcer : like sands through the hourglass , so are the `` days of our lives . `` [ soft orchestration ] hope : rafe ... what are you doing ? what 's so important that you needed to bring me in here ? what is this ? well , rafe , i mean -- [ moans ] [ both laugh ] rafe : um -- hope : mm . rafe : yep . hope : yeah . um ... rafe : well , i thought it was better to do in here than out there . hope : yeah , but there is a window over there , you know . rafe : well , you 're my wife , you know . besides ... look , no one 's watching . are they ? hope : mm . rafe : no . hope : no . rafe : hold that thought . have i told you -- have i told you how great it was to spend the night with you last night ? hope : you may have mentioned it once or twice . rafe : yeah , well ... it was amazing . hope : yeah . rafe : wish i could spend all day with you . hope : mm . rafe : mm . hope : but unfortunately , the bad guys do n't sleep , do they ? rafe : that is so thoughtless of them . hope : mm - hmm . however -- hold on . um , i happen to have our schedule right here . and , according to this , it says that two weeks from tomorrow , we both have a day off . wait . rafe : yeah ? hope : yeah . rafe : well , how 'bout that ? wait , but you probably have something to do , like catch up on emails or taxes or -- hope : taxes ? rafe : maybe -- hope : i -- well , actually , you know what ? according to this , i ... have no plans . i have no plans at all . rafe : yeah ? well ... you do now . [ both laughing ] chad : you , uh ... you were n't wrong . i just need some time . i just need a little bit more time . abigail : yeah . i do n't want to push it . stefan : abigail 's blood work . where is it ? kayla : i told you . stefan : yeah , yeah . it 's not back from the lab yet . that was hours ago . you must have it by now . kayla : we discussed this . if abigail wanted you to know the test results , she 'll share them with you . stefan : maybe , uh -- maybe i 'm not making myself clear . this is n't a request . i want abigail 's test results ... now . for mild - to - moderate eczema , eucrisa stefan : i 'm the father of abigail 's child . i have every right to see those results . now , if you need further incentive to turn them over , um , let me remind you that i can make steve blind at any time . kayla : it 's nice to see that you inherited the dimeras ' taste for the gothic . stefan : he owes his sight to that bionic eye , kayla , which , uh , you know i control . one flick of the switch , and , uh ... your husband 's shopping for another patch . hope he 's not driving . kayla : what do you want with those results anyway ? it 's not like you can read them . it 's just a bunch of numbers ! stefan : i 'm sure there 's an app for that too . look , i 'm not trying to hurt anyone . i 'm simply trying to make sure that my child is healthy . that does n't go against your hippocratic oath , does it ? kayla : fine . abigail 's pregnancy is progressing normally . stefan : see ? was that so hard ? kayla : so if we 're done -- stefan : no , we are not . is there ... an ultrasound photo ? i assume that 's a yes . kayla : i told you that the baby is healthy . why do you need anything else ? stefan : i 'd like to know if it 's a boy or a girl . kayla : you 'll find out soon enough . stefan : and what if something goes wrong ? kayla : well , then you know what ? abigail and chad will deal with it . stefan : [ laughs ] chad . chad ca n't deal with the pregnancy now . what makes you think he 'll be able to deal with it if anything goes wrong ? kayla : i have no idea what you 're talking about . stefan : he walked out on his wife and his child . i mean , you think he 'd at least stick around for his son . hmm . i mean , is n't that what it means to be a -- a happy family ? unconditional love and all that good stuff ? kayla : what the hell do you know about love ? stefan : you know , kayla , do n't think of this as a -- as a betrayal of abigail . try and think of it like this . you 'll be protecting your husband . trust me . your life will be a hell of a lot easier if you do exactly what i tell you to do . steve : i asked kayla point - blank what she was talking about when i overheard her with jennifer . she said jenn confided in her and it was n't her place to tell me what it was about . john : sounds reasonable . wait . you do n't agree ? steve : well , i would if i thought it was the truth . but that day when kayla was talking , it did n't sound like it was about jennifer or even abigail . it sounded like it was about her . john : all right , let 's back up here . what exactly did she say again ? steve : `` if steve ever found out , i 'm afraid of what might happen . `` does that sound like it was about jennifer ? john : not exactly , no . steve : i 'm worried , man . i think something 's wrong -- really wrong . my wife wo n't tell me what it is . marlena : i hope you do n't mind , but john shared part of your conversation from the other day . and it just sounds to me like things are n't really fine at the loft . claire : grandma , no . no , no , no , no . you need to be focused on your wedding right now . marlena : i am focused on my wedding . i can also focus on you . i 'm a great multitasker . claire : okay . well , if you really want to know ... it 's about ciara . ciara is totally hung up on ben weston . not that she 'll ever admit that . marlena : are you sure about that ? claire : yes . yes . why else would she be pushing tripp away ? i mean , she has got this perfect guy literally throwing himself at her , and she wo n't give him the time of day because she would rather hang out with a serial killer ! how messed up is that ? marlena : so you 're -- so you 're worried for ciara ? claire : yeah , and i 'm worried about tripp ! you know , 'cause ciara treats him like trash , and he still follows her around like a puppy . and he does n't even look at me anymore . marlena : hmm . that must hurt your feelings . claire : i guess i should n't let it hurt my feelings . i -- i know that i should have the self - respect to just back off and start dating again . but ... i do n't know . it does n't work like that , i ca n't just snap my fingers and -- whoosh -- now i 'm over tripp . marlena : and of course it does n't help when you see him so often . claire : yeah , that makes it impossible , actually . you know , maybe i should just be glad that ben keeps showing up at our doorstep . you know , 'cause if he kills us all , then i wo n't have to worry about it . marlena : oh , my gosh . do n't even joke like that . claire : i 'm not joking . i am really scared of this guy . so is everyone ! you know , except for ciara , of course . she is super close with him . she refuses to accept what is obvious to everyone else : that ben set the fire in the cabin that made her almost toast , literally . marlena : honey , i 'm not somebody who believes that . ben : tripp . hey . i 'm sorry . i used the rest of your shampoo . tripp : [ chuckles ] well , why do n't i just run out to the store and grab you some , since clearly you 've made yourself at home . ciara : okay , he 's been staying at a homeless shelter . but they 're overcrowded right now , so they kicked him out this morning . and i thought the least i could do is let him clean up here . tripp : yeah , well , you look pretty clean to me . so why do n't you just get dressed and get the hell out of here ? -i 've seen lots of homes helping new customers abigail : i do n't want to pressure you , but i just want us to keep talking , if that 's not too much to ask . chad : it 's just like i said . abigail : no . never mind . you can just do whatever it is you got ta do and ... check the stock markets or whatever . chad : okay . abigail : and , um ... you know , if you want to see thomas , just -- just let me know . chad : uh , tomorrow ? abigail : yeah . yeah , tomorrow . chad : ari actually just got a new trampoline ; you know , thomas would love it . abigail : yeah , of cour -- you know , i have -- i actually need to check thomas ' pre - school calendar , but -- but maybe . chad : thanks . gabi : chad , ari 's -- oh . abigail , sorry . i did n't realize you were still here . abigail : no , i was just -- i was just leaving . did -- what were you gon na say ? gabi : nothing . it 's okay . i -- nothing . abigail : oh , go ahead . just say it . gabi : uh , well , ari 's done with her last pancake , and she 's requested that chad jump on the trampoline with her . apparently he can do a backflip . abigail : you did not try that on -- on ari 's trampoline . chad : i promised i 'd show her . abigail : oh . okay . well , just be careful . do n't break anything . chad : well , i might break the trampoline . gabi : [ laughs ] chad : or my ego . [ mutters indistinctly ] [ whispers indistinctly ] gabi : abigail , i 'm sorry . i did n't realize the two of you were in here . i -- well , i would have never interrupted . abigail : it 's fine . but i 'm really glad things are going well with you and your daughter . gabi : thank you . you know , what about us ? um , are we okay ? abigail : yeah . yeah , i 'm just -- i 'm hormonal and emotional . but i do know that you 're a good friend . gabi : okay . i 'm really relieved to hear that . i swear , i -- i want you and chad to work things out . and as long as he 's staying here , i 'm gon na do my best to make sure that he moves back home with you . abigail : well , i 'll take all the help i can get . so ... okay , well , you take care . gabi : yeah , you too . buh - bye , abigail . stefan : i 'll tell you what . let 's make this simple . just give me abigail 's complete medical records . kayla : no . no , no , that is -- that is not happening . that -- that is a huge ethical breach . i 'm not doing that . stefan : dr. j , you 've never broken the rules before to protect someone you care about ? kayla : yeah , i 'm trying to protect my niece from you . stefan : look , i already told you . i 'm not trying to hurt abigail . i only want to ensure that my child gets the best possible care . that said , if something were to go wrong with abigail 's health ... kayla : no , i told you that it 's completely normal pregnancy . stefan : her mental health . you and i both know that she 's been under intense psychiatric care . i do n't know what the effects of these medications she 's on -- kayla : category a drugs are completely safe for pregnancy . stefan : yes , i 'm -- i 'm aware of that . but what if they stop working ; if the dose needs to be adjusted or she 's put on an entirely different medication ? a choice will need to be made : keep abigail sane or potentially put my child 's health at risk . i 'm sure that the worst thing for you would be if , uh ... if gabby came back , would n't it ? kayla : gabby 's not coming back . stefan : nah . this is just about my child anyway . i just want to be certain that he or she gets the best medical care available . kayla : here is a duplicate of abigail 's complete file . are you satisfied ? stefan : [ sighs ] for now . i 'll be back . john : maybe kayla 's trying to protect you . i 'm just saying , the last time -- last time i lied to doc , it was all about trying to protect my best friend . and that would be you , if you had n't guessed . you know , in the worst possible way , i did n't want to get her involved . so ... that 's what i did to keep her out of danger . steve : you think kayla might be in some kind of danger ? john : oh . no , no , no , no . sorry , man . you know me . i 'm just , you know , spit balling here . steve : no , no , you 're right , she could be , which is all the more reason i have to find out what the hell is going on . john : [ sighs ] you already tried that before . what are you gon na do now ? steve : try the direct approach again . i 'll ask kayla one more time . if that does n't work , i 'll do whatever i have to to get the truth . marlena : honey , part of being a therapist is really believing that people can change ; that they -- they can be rehabilitated . ben is working so hard to do that . he has acknowledged what he 's done ; he 's making amends . i just think we have to give him credit for that . claire : well , you know , if ben 's such a great guy , then maybe ciara should just be with him . marlena : no , that 's -- that 's not what i was saying . claire : i mean , why not ? that would be perfect . then tripp would be free for me , right ? i mean , if he can stand the sight of me anymore . marlena : claire , honey . claire : look , i -- i really do have to get going . i really do . but it was so good to see you . thank you so much . i love you . i love you . i love you . marlena : i love you , sweet girl . ben : hey , look , man , i 'm sorry . i did n't mean to overstep . i 'm gon na get going . ciara : no , wait . i told him he could grab something to eat before he goes . tripp : [ sighs ] there you go . ben : think i could get some almond milk or -- ciara : we 're not seriously shoving food in his hands as he walks out the door , right ? tripp : oh , i 'm sorry . what should we do ? should we all sit around the counter and talk about our day ? ciara : why are you being so harsh ? tripp : because maybe every time i turn around , there 's a serial killer in my living room ! ciara : would you stop calling him that ? and it 's our living room , tripp . you do n't get the only say . ben : you know what ? i 'm gon na go get dressed . ciara : if i want to have ben over , that 's my choice . tripp : so , what , every time the shelter 's a little crowded , the guy 's gon na show up and stroll around practically naked ? ciara : how else is he supposed to take a shower ? tripp : maybe get a job of his own and find a place of his own -- preferably far away from here ! ciara : right , but it 's not like it 's that easy , tripp ! it 's not like he can just go and fill out an application ! tripp : oh , well , jeez , i wonder why . ciara : [ sighs ] he 's trying to make up for what he 's done ! but he ca n't when people like you and my mom wo n't even give him a second chance ! you know what ? i bet -- i bet she was the one who got him kicked out of the shelter in the first place ! she 's completely crazed trying to drive him out of town . tripp : yeah , well , it sounds like she 's got the right idea . ciara : okay . [ clears throat ] i know what ben 's done , okay ? but that does n't mean he 's not a worthwhile person . and he would never hurt me . i mean , after i crashed my bike , he saved my life . my mom should be thanking him ! and now that we know that the fire was n't actually his fault -- tripp : excuse me . excuse me . since when do we know that ? ciara : ben told us -- remember ? marlena hypnotized him ! and in her professional opinion , he is innocent . meanwhile , everyone in this town is determined to see the worst in him , no matter what the evidence says . tripp : yes , and you 're determined to see the best in him . and why is that ? ben : you guys can quit fighting now . i 'm leaving . ciara : where are you gon na go ? ben : i 'll figure it out . do n't worry about it . ciara : you can stay here ! hope : mm - mm - mm - mm . we should n't be doing this at work . rafe : you 're right . we shouldn't . hope : oh , my gosh , rafe . [ both moaning and laughing ] mm . rafe : hello . abe : i guess this means that the two of you are back together . hope : uh , we are . yes , um ... i think we are , right ? but that -- this -- is the last time we display public affection here at work . abe : mm - hmm . rafe : that 's a promise , so -- hope : is it ? yes , it is a promise . abe : well , i 'm willing to look the other way today . and i 'm very happy for you both . hope : thank you . rafe : so are we . hope : yeah . abe , i 'm so sorry . what can we do for you ? rafe : yeah . abe : yes , well , i heard that you closed the weston case . rafe : mm - hmm . hope : yes . it , uh -- it looked like we were never gon na get enough evidence for indictment . rafe : yeah . abe : still ... the public 's anxiety level 's pretty high . hope : yeah , understandably so . which is why i made it very clear to him yesterday that if he did not leave town for good , i 'd reopen the case . abe : he agreed ? rafe : well , he took the bait . hope : there 's nothing to worry about . abe : i 'm not so sure about that . i 've been keeping tabs on him , informally , of course . rafe : of course . what are you saying ? abe : he was here in town last night , at a homeless shelter . hope : are you kidding me ? abe : well , as far as we know , he could be hitting the road today . stay in touch . rafe : yes , sir . hope : will do . if weston has gone back on our deal , god help him . tripp : you did not just ask him to move in with us . ciara : it 's not forever ; only until he finds another place . ben : ciara , thank you , but -- tripp : shut up . ciara : okay , do n't talk to him like that . tripp : i 'm sorry . how should i talk to him ? ciara : like a person -- not something you just scraped off the bottom of your shoe . tripp : fine . yeah , i 'll talk to him like a person . i 'm not okay with you staying here . and i know claire wo n't be , either . claire : claire wo n't be what ? what 's going on ? tripp : oh , claire . look , just in time . you can tell us yourself . how would you feel if ben weston moved in with us ? gabi : good news ? chad : uh , yeah . the guy that i had watching ben weston just checked in . he left the homeless shelter , so hopefully he 's leaving town for good . gabi : seriously ? chad : yeah , yeah . no one else is gon na take him in . gabi : great , well , one less thing you got ta worry about . chad : well , besides maybe you being mad at me 'cause i may have let ari take a nap , and she might be out for the count for a while . gabi : that 's okay . chad : and also i might be out for the count for a while too , so -- gabi : thank you for spending time with her . chad : yeah , it 's my pleasure . gabi : still , i , like , pulled you away from abigail . chad : it 's okay . she was leaving . gabi : i think we upset her more than she already was . chad : why do you say that ? gabi : well , she told me that she thought that maybe you were were more interested in spending time with ari ... than you were spending time with thomas . chad : she said that ? gabi : yeah . chad : why would she -- that does n't -- gabi : i 'm sorry . chad : no , that 's not fair . she knows how i feel about our son . gabi : i should have never told you anything . chad : it 's not your fault . i 'm glad you did . stefan : [ clears throat ] abigail : what are you looking at ? [ knock at door ] steve : delivery for dr . johnson . kayla : [ sighs ] you did n't have to do that . steve : mm - hmm . how else am i gon na get you to take a lunch break ? kayla : so glad to see you . steve : oh , baby . kayla : [ laughs ] steve : whoa ! i guess i should think about bringing you chowder every time i come visit you . kayla : yeah . steve : are you all right ? kayla : yeah . yeah , i just -- you know , i 'm just i 'm just worried about that patient i have . steve : the one in the icu ? kayla : yeah . steve : well , she take a turn for the worse ? kayla : you know , it 's just kind of touch - and - go . steve : sorry to hear that . so how 'd things go with stefan dimera ? kayla : stefan ? what do you mean ? steve : oh , i mean , when he was here this morning . he was n't really here to make a donation to the neonatal icu , now , was he ? kayla : yeah . yeah , he was . steve : so he was n't hassling you about abigail 's pregnancy ? kayla : mm - mm . nope , not at all . steve : because if he is , you know i 'll help you in any way i can . kayla : i know that . of course , i know that you would do anything for me . steve : that 's right . sweetness , if you 're the one who 's in trouble , you would tell me , would n't you ? stefan : dimera business . nothing you 'd be interested in . abigail : why 'd you close the folder so fast ? stefan : 'cause it 's a prototype we 're working on . the last thing i need is for you to share it with the ceo of titan , aka your husband . abigail : well , you do n't need to worry about that . stefan : why is that ? still has n't come home yet ? abigail : why would he ? i mean , he comes in the door , and you 're standing there and you 've got your hands on me . stefan : i was just trying to feel my baby move . i had no idea he 'd walk in . i am sorry . abigail : well , that 's very touching . but you do n't need to worry about chad , because he 's gon na come around . he just needs time . stefan : do you really believe that ? chad : i mean , is she gon na say that about her own goddaughter and her own husband ? i do n't -- i do n't understand that . i mean , she knows how much i miss thomas . i mean , i miss him like crazy . that 's the worst part of all this for me . how does she not know that ? gabi : of course she knows . i mean , we all know she knows . it 's just the pregnancy talking . her hormones are out of control . chad : i know she 's going , you know , through her own hell , in obviously a different way , but ... you 're just gon na get mad at me . honestly , i do n't know how i 'm gon na get past all of it . rafe : okay , thanks . well , according to the shelter , ben left this morning . hope : so he left town . rafe : he had nowhere else to go . hope : thank god . tripp : yeah , so now that ben is homeless , ciara figured , why not invite him to stay here ? ciara : temporarily -- tripp : no problem , right ? except she did n't bother to ask either of her roommates if they had any problem living with a -- ciara : do n't say it . tripp : serial killer . ciara : please do n't say it . oh , my god . you 're not being fair . tripp : oh , i 'm sorry . you want fair ? i can be fair . okay ? majority rules , right ? so why do n't the three of us put it to a vote . that way if claire does n't want ben staying here -- which why the hell would she ? ciara : claire , please . ben does not deserve to be punished for something he did n't do . okay , i mean , even your grandma is convinced that he did n't set the fire . and you kind of owe him , you know ? claire : for what ? tripp : yeah , for what ? ciara : she hit him over the head with a frying pan . yeah . and he could have pressed charges , but he didn't . that 's got ta count for something , right ? tripp : yes , yes , that counts that ben has the good sense not to try to get someone arrested for acting on self - defense . ciara : it was n't self - defense . tripp : you know what ? i 'm done with this , okay ? you 're wasting your time . there 's no way that claire is going along with this . john : hey , good looking . marlena : mm , hello ! john : mind if i join you ? marlena : i wish you would . john : you sure ? looks like you already got company here . what 's going on ? marlena : oh , i did . claire was here , but she took off rather suddenly . john : yeah , well , she 's a busy girl . i mean , after all , she has a song to practice for our wedding . marlena : our wedding ! oh ! mm . [ both smooch ] abe : wow . there seems to be a lot of this going around today . john : abraham , what 's going on ? abe : how you doing ? all right . all right . hey , i 'm so glad i ran into you two . john : why 's that ? abe : well , you know , being mayor does have its perks . and i was able to pull a few strings , and i cleared the town square for your ceremony . john : yes ! score , carver ! marlena : abe . john : good job , man . marlena : thank you . we are so excited about this . abe : i 'll bet . i 'll bet . hey , i heard belle 's coming back . john : yeah , yeah , yeah . they already rsvp 'd . check this out . she and shawn are coming all the way in from hong kong . can you believe that ? abe : well , that 's wonderful . john : yeah . abe : all the blacks and bradys together again -- marlena : well , except for sami . abe : she 's not coming ? why not ? marlena : wish we knew . kayla : why would you think i 'm in trouble ? steve : listen , baby . i do n't mean to beat this into the ground , but when i asked you what you were talking about with jennifer , i do n't think you gave me the whole story . kayla : well , no , i didn't . i told you , because i ca n't betray jenn 's confidence . steve : so you 're not in trouble ? kayla : no . listen , i appreciate your concern , but you do n't need to worry about me , okay ? if you do n't mind , i 'm going to take this with me . thank you for bringing it . but i have a staff meeting in the lounge , okay ? so i 'll see you tonight , okay ? steve : you 're a lousy liar , sweetness . you should n't have left your phone behind . yeah , i know the code . [ sighs ] 7 - 2 - 5 ... 88 . i did love the ' 80s . any object . any surface . steve : there 's got ta be something . what the hell is this about ? kayla : what are you doing ? abigail : chad is gon na come around . and maybe it 's not what you want to hear , but everybody who loves me -- who really loves me -- is rooting for us . even gabi is helping us get us back together . stefan : why would she do that ? abigail : because she 's a great friend . stefan : who does n't hold a grudge , apparently . must say , i 'm surprised . to me , she seems like the kind of woman who 'd want revenge . abigail : oh . well , obviously you do n't know her very well , do you ? stefan : obviously i don't . anyway , uh ... how can she really help ? abigail : well , right now , she 's staying at the kiriakis mansion and reconnecting with her daughter . stefan : very nice . what about chad ? where 'd he go ? no ! no , let -- let me guess . he did n't have anywhere to go , so he too is stay -- they 're living together ? abigail : it is not like that , and you know it . stefan : [ sighs ] whatever you say . gabi : chad , listen . you can not give up , okay ? abigail sleeping with stefan , conceiving a child with him -- yes , that 's a lot . i get it . but i know you can get past this . chad : i hope you 're right . gabi : yeah , it 's just gon na take some time . and if you need to spend time apart , then abigail needs to respect that . chad : have i told you how grateful i am ? gabi : yeah , thanks . and i know that abigail is too . i just think that she does n't realize that she 's putting a lot of pressure on you and that every time you guys get together , it just makes you more upset . and that 's not good for anybody . i think you should definitely be staying in neutral corners . trust me . you 're doing the right thing . chad : thank you for saying that . tripp : the three of us pay equal rent , which means we have equal say what happens in this loft , including who moves in . ciara : temporarily , tripp ! tripp : okay , so that 's one vote yes . and if you have n't guessed it , my vote is no . so , claire ? you break the tie . come on , what are you waiting for ? kick this crazy killer to the curb . claire : actually , my vote is yes . ben can stay with us .

<s>[INST] tripp : [ sighs ] man , i thought that shift was never going to end . the lunch crowd was out there with full force . ciara : taking advantage of the last few weeks of summer , i guess ? tripp : yeah . you know , i actually thought about doing the same thing . what do you say , you want to go to the lake ? ciara : that sounds really great . tripp : oh , yeah ? yeah . well , let 's go . i still have all the beach stuff in my car . ciara : uh , actually , do you mind if we wait a little while ? tripp : what for ? ben : i feel 100 % ... better . tripp : what the hell is this ? claire : here you go , grandma . someone else will take your order , though ... 'cause i 'm officially off shift . marlena : oh , then maybe you can join me for some iced coffee . claire : sure . yeah . marlena : all right , now , how 's everything going with you ? claire : it 's going good . really good . yeah . i am psyched about your wedding next week . marlena : we 're so pleased you 're singing for us . claire : are you serious ? it 's gon na be like a dream come true for me . marlena : ah , that 's very kind ; thank you . claire : yeah ; bet you 're getting all excited , huh ? marlena : yes , i , uh ... i am excited . claire : mm - hmm . marlena : and i guess i 'm a little nervous too . claire : nervous . why are you nervous ? everyone is so , so happy for you . and i just think it 's the most romantic thing in the world that you 're getting married again . marlena : you 're right . it is romantic . and i feel so lucky to be marrying the man that i love for the second time . john : well , i 'm telling you , partner , i thought that fitting would never end . steve : mm . are you sure you do n't want to go back ? i really think you should have gotten that hot pink cummerbund . john : yeah , right . that would 've been real hot back in the ' 80s maybe . [ laughs ] steve : what 's wrong with the ' 80s ? as i recall , that was when you and the lovely marlena made your first trip down the aisle . john : yeah , just like you and kayla , so ? steve : yeah . i love the ' 80s . john : [ laughs ] come on , man . [ sighs ] hey , listen . speaking of kayla , how 'd it go the other day ? you said you were gon na ask her about something you overheard her telling jennifer ? steve : i did ask her . john : yeah ? and she had an innocent explanation , did n't she ? steve : she did . i 'm just not sure i believe it . [ knock at door ] stefan : bad time ? kayla : with you ? always . well , you obviously want something from me , so , uh , spit it out . stefan : you 're right . i do want something from you . and this time , i 'm not leaving without it . abigail : uh - huh . okay . yeah , okay . all right , mom . well , i 'll -- i 'll -- i 'll just talk to you later . okay , bye . [ phone beeps ] i hope you do n't mind that i stuck around . i just needed to make a few calls . chad : no , not at all . i 'm just trying to see what the market is doing right now . abigail : um , actually , you know , i know that this is silly , but ... just a minute ago , before gabi interrupted us , i felt like ... maybe you were gon na kiss me , and ... am i wrong ? male announcer : like sands through the hourglass , so are the `` days of our lives . `` [ soft orchestration ] hope : rafe ... what are you doing ? what 's so important that you needed to bring me in here ? what is this ? well , rafe , i mean -- [ moans ] [ both laugh ] rafe : um -- hope : mm . rafe : yep . hope : yeah . um ... rafe : well , i thought it was better to do in here than out there . hope : yeah , but there is a window over there , you know . rafe : well , you 're my wife , you know . besides ... look , no one 's watching . are they ? hope : mm . rafe : no . hope : no . rafe : hold that thought . have i told you -- have i told you how great it was to spend the night with you last night ? hope : you may have mentioned it once or twice . rafe : yeah , well ... it was amazing . hope : yeah . rafe : wish i could spend all day with you . hope : mm . rafe : mm . hope : but unfortunately , the bad guys do n't sleep , do they ? rafe : that is so thoughtless of them . hope : mm - hmm . however -- hold on . um , i happen to have our schedule right here . and , according to this , it says that two weeks from tomorrow , we both have a day off . wait . rafe : yeah ? hope : yeah . rafe : well , how 'bout that ? wait , but you probably have something to do , like catch up on emails or taxes or -- hope : taxes ? rafe : maybe -- hope : i -- well , actually , you know what ? according to this , i ... have no plans . i have no plans at all . rafe : yeah ? well ... you do now . [ both laughing ] chad : you , uh ... you were n't wrong . i just need some time . i just need a little bit more time . abigail : yeah . i do n't want to push it . stefan : abigail 's blood work . where is it ? kayla : i told you . stefan : yeah , yeah . it 's not back from the lab yet . that was hours ago . you must have it by now . kayla : we discussed this . if abigail wanted you to know the test results , she 'll share them with you . stefan : maybe , uh -- maybe i 'm not making myself clear . this is n't a request . i want abigail 's test results ... now . for mild - to - moderate eczema , eucrisa stefan : i 'm the father of abigail 's child . i have every right to see those results . now , if you need further incentive to turn them over , um , let me remind you that i can make steve blind at any time . kayla : it 's nice to see that you inherited the dimeras ' taste for the gothic . stefan : he owes his sight to that bionic eye , kayla , which , uh , you know i control . one flick of the switch , and , uh ... your husband 's shopping for another patch . hope he 's not driving . kayla : what do you want with those results anyway ? it 's not like you can read them . it 's just a bunch of numbers ! stefan : i 'm sure there 's an app for that too . look , i 'm not trying to hurt anyone . i 'm simply trying to make sure that my child is healthy . that does n't go against your hippocratic oath , does it ? kayla : fine . abigail 's pregnancy is progressing normally . stefan : see ? was that so hard ? kayla : so if we 're done -- stefan : no , we are not . is there ... an ultrasound photo ? i assume that 's a yes . kayla : i told you that the baby is healthy . why do you need anything else ? stefan : i 'd like to know if it 's a boy or a girl . kayla : you 'll find out soon enough . stefan : and what if something goes wrong ? kayla : well , then you know what ? abigail and chad will deal with it . stefan : [ laughs ] chad . chad ca n't deal with the pregnancy now . what makes you think he 'll be able to deal with it if anything goes wrong ? kayla : i have no idea what you 're talking about . stefan : he walked out on his wife and his child . i mean , you think he 'd at least stick around for his son . hmm . i mean , is n't that what it means to be a -- a happy family ? unconditional love and all that good stuff ? kayla : what the hell do you know about love ? stefan : you know , kayla , do n't think of this as a -- as a betrayal of abigail . try and think of it like this . you 'll be protecting your husband . trust me . your life will be a hell of a lot easier if you do exactly what i tell you to do . steve : i asked kayla point - blank what she was talking about when i overheard her with jennifer . she said jenn confided in her and it was n't her place to tell me what it was about . john : sounds reasonable . wait . you do n't agree ? steve : well , i would if i thought it was the truth . but that day when kayla was talking , it did n't sound like it was about jennifer or even abigail . it sounded like it was about her . john : all right , let 's back up here . what exactly did she say again ? steve : `` if steve ever found out , i 'm afraid of what might happen . `` does that sound like it was about jennifer ? john : not exactly , no . steve : i 'm worried , man . i think something 's wrong -- really wrong . my wife wo n't tell me what it is . marlena : i hope you do n't mind , but john shared part of your conversation from the other day . and it just sounds to me like things are n't really fine at the loft . claire : grandma , no . no , no , no , no . you need to be focused on your wedding right now . marlena : i am focused on my wedding . i can also focus on you . i 'm a great multitasker . claire : okay . well , if you really want to know ... it 's about ciara . ciara is totally hung up on ben weston . not that she 'll ever admit that . marlena : are you sure about that ? claire : yes . yes . why else would she be pushing tripp away ? i mean , she has got this perfect guy literally throwing himself at her , and she wo n't give him the time of day because she would rather hang out with a serial killer ! how messed up is that ? marlena : so you 're -- so you 're worried for ciara ? claire : yeah , and i 'm worried about tripp ! you know , 'cause ciara treats him like trash , and he still follows her around like a puppy . and he does n't even look at me anymore . marlena : hmm . that must hurt your feelings . claire : i guess i should n't let it hurt my feelings . i -- i know that i should have the self - respect to just back off and start dating again . but ... i do n't know . it does n't work like that , i ca n't just snap my fingers and -- whoosh -- now i 'm over tripp . marlena : and of course it does n't help when you see him so often . claire : yeah , that makes it impossible , actually . you know , maybe i should just be glad that ben keeps showing up at our doorstep . you know , 'cause if he kills us all , then i wo n't have to worry about it . marlena : oh , my gosh . do n't even joke like that . claire : i 'm not joking . i am really scared of this guy . so is everyone ! you know , except for ciara , of course . she is super close with him . she refuses to accept what is obvious to everyone else : that ben set the fire in the cabin that made her almost toast , literally . marlena : honey , i 'm not somebody who believes that . ben : tripp . hey . i 'm sorry . i used the rest of your shampoo . tripp : [ chuckles ] well , why do n't i just run out to the store and grab you some , since clearly you 've made yourself at home . ciara : okay , he 's been staying at a homeless shelter . but they 're overcrowded right now , so they kicked him out this morning . and i thought the least i could do is let him clean up here . tripp : yeah , well , you look pretty clean to me . so why do n't you just get dressed and get the hell out of here ? -i 've seen lots of homes helping new customers abigail : i do n't want to pressure you , but i just want us to keep talking , if that 's not too much to ask . chad : it 's just like i said . abigail : no . never mind . you can just do whatever it is you got ta do and ... check the stock markets or whatever . chad : okay . abigail : and , um ... you know , if you want to see thomas , just -- just let me know . chad : uh , tomorrow ? abigail : yeah . yeah , tomorrow . chad : ari actually just got a new trampoline ; you know , thomas would love it . abigail : yeah , of cour -- you know , i have -- i actually need to check thomas ' pre - school calendar , but -- but maybe . chad : thanks . gabi : chad , ari 's -- oh . abigail , sorry . i did n't realize you were still here . abigail : no , i was just -- i was just leaving . did -- what were you gon na say ? gabi : nothing . it 's okay . i -- nothing . abigail : oh , go ahead . just say it . gabi : uh , well , ari 's done with her last pancake , and she 's requested that chad jump on the trampoline with her . apparently he can do a backflip . abigail : you did not try that on -- on ari 's trampoline . chad : i promised i 'd show her . abigail : oh . okay . well , just be careful . do n't break anything . chad : well , i might break the trampoline . gabi : [ laughs ] chad : or my ego . [ mutters indistinctly ] [ whispers indistinctly ] gabi : abigail , i 'm sorry . i did n't realize the two of you were in here . i -- well , i would have never interrupted . abigail : it 's fine . but i 'm really glad things are going well with you and your daughter . gabi : thank you . you know , what about us ? um , are we okay ? abigail : yeah . yeah , i 'm just -- i 'm hormonal and emotional . but i do know that you 're a good friend . gabi : okay . i 'm really relieved to hear that . i swear , i -- i want you and chad to work things out . and as long as he 's staying here , i 'm gon na do my best to make sure that he moves back home with you . abigail : well , i 'll take all the help i can get . so ... okay , well , you take care . gabi : yeah , you too . buh - bye , abigail . stefan : i 'll tell you what . let 's make this simple . just give me abigail 's complete medical records . kayla : no . no , no , that is -- that is not happening . that -- that is a huge ethical breach . i 'm not doing that . stefan : dr. j , you 've never broken the rules before to protect someone you care about ? kayla : yeah , i 'm trying to protect my niece from you . stefan : look , i already told you . i 'm not trying to hurt abigail . i only want to ensure that my child gets the best possible care . that said , if something were to go wrong with abigail 's health ... kayla : no , i told you that it 's completely normal pregnancy . stefan : her mental health . you and i both know that she 's been under intense psychiatric care . i do n't know what the effects of these medications she 's on -- kayla : category a drugs are completely safe for pregnancy . stefan : yes , i 'm -- i 'm aware of that . but what if they stop working ; if the dose needs to be adjusted or she 's put on an entirely different medication ? a choice will need to be made : keep abigail sane or potentially put my child 's health at risk . i 'm sure that the worst thing for you would be if , uh ... if gabby came back , would n't it ? kayla : gabby 's not coming back . stefan : nah . this is just about my child anyway . i just want to be certain that he or she gets the best medical care available . kayla : here is a duplicate of abigail 's complete file . are you satisfied ? stefan : [ sighs ] for now . i 'll be back . john : maybe kayla 's trying to protect you . i 'm just saying , the last time -- last time i lied to doc , it was all about trying to protect my best friend . and that would be you , if you had n't guessed . you know , in the worst possible way , i did n't want to get her involved . so ... that 's what i did to keep her out of danger . steve : you think kayla might be in some kind of danger ? john : oh . no , no , no , no . sorry , man . you know me . i 'm just , you know , spit balling here . steve : no , no , you 're right , she could be , which is all the more reason i have to find out what the hell is going on . john : [ sighs ] you already tried that before . what are you gon na do now ? steve : try the direct approach again . i 'll ask kayla one more time . if that does n't work , i 'll do whatever i have to to get the truth . marlena : honey , part of being a therapist is really believing that people can change ; that they -- they can be rehabilitated . ben is working so hard to do that . he has acknowledged what he 's done ; he 's making amends . i just think we have to give him credit for that . claire : well , you know , if ben 's such a great guy , then maybe ciara should just be with him . marlena : no , that 's -- that 's not what i was saying . claire : i mean , why not ? that would be perfect . then tripp would be free for me , right ? i mean , if he can stand the sight of me anymore . marlena : claire , honey . claire : look , i -- i really do have to get going . i really do . but it was so good to see you . thank you so much . i love you . i love you . i love you . marlena : i love you , sweet girl . ben : hey , look , man , i 'm sorry . i did n't mean to overstep . i 'm gon na get going . ciara : no , wait . i told him he could grab something to eat before he goes . tripp : [ sighs ] there you go . ben : think i could get some almond milk or -- ciara : we 're not seriously shoving food in his hands as he walks out the door , right ? tripp : oh , i 'm sorry . what should we do ? should we all sit around the counter and talk about our day ? ciara : why are you being so harsh ? tripp : because maybe every time i turn around , there 's a serial killer in my living room ! ciara : would you stop calling him that ? and it 's our living room , tripp . you do n't get the only say . ben : you know what ? i 'm gon na go get dressed . ciara : if i want to have ben over , that 's my choice . tripp : so , what , every time the shelter 's a little crowded , the guy 's gon na show up and stroll around practically naked ? ciara : how else is he supposed to take a shower ? tripp : maybe get a job of his own and find a place of his own -- preferably far away from here ! ciara : right , but it 's not like it 's that easy , tripp ! it 's not like he can just go and fill out an application ! tripp : oh , well , jeez , i wonder why . ciara : [ sighs ] he 's trying to make up for what he 's done ! but he ca n't when people like you and my mom wo n't even give him a second chance ! you know what ? i bet -- i bet she was the one who got him kicked out of the shelter in the first place ! she 's completely crazed trying to drive him out of town . tripp : yeah , well , it sounds like she 's got the right idea . ciara : okay . [ clears throat ] i know what ben 's done , okay ? but that does n't mean he 's not a worthwhile person . and he would never hurt me . i mean , after i crashed my bike , he saved my life . my mom should be thanking him ! and now that we know that the fire was n't actually his fault -- tripp : excuse me . excuse me . since when do we know that ? ciara : ben told us -- remember ? marlena hypnotized him ! and in her professional opinion , he is innocent . meanwhile , everyone in this town is determined to see the worst in him , no matter what the evidence says . tripp : yes , and you 're determined to see the best in him . and why is that ? ben : you guys can quit fighting now . i 'm leaving . ciara : where are you gon na go ? ben : i 'll figure it out . do n't worry about it . ciara : you can stay here ! hope : mm - mm - mm - mm . we should n't be doing this at work . rafe : you 're right . we shouldn't . hope : oh , my gosh , rafe . [ both moaning and laughing ] mm . rafe : hello . abe : i guess this means that the two of you are back together . hope : uh , we are . yes , um ... i think we are , right ? but that -- this -- is the last time we display public affection here at work . abe : mm - hmm . rafe : that 's a promise , so -- hope : is it ? yes , it is a promise . abe : well , i 'm willing to look the other way today . and i 'm very happy for you both . hope : thank you . rafe : so are we . hope : yeah . abe , i 'm so sorry . what can we do for you ? rafe : yeah . abe : yes , well , i heard that you closed the weston case . rafe : mm - hmm . hope : yes . it , uh -- it looked like we were never gon na get enough evidence for indictment . rafe : yeah . abe : still ... the public 's anxiety level 's pretty high . hope : yeah , understandably so . which is why i made it very clear to him yesterday that if he did not leave town for good , i 'd reopen the case . abe : he agreed ? rafe : well , he took the bait . hope : there 's nothing to worry about . abe : i 'm not so sure about that . i 've been keeping tabs on him , informally , of course . rafe : of course . what are you saying ? abe : he was here in town last night , at a homeless shelter . hope : are you kidding me ? abe : well , as far as we know , he could be hitting the road today . stay in touch . rafe : yes , sir . hope : will do . if weston has gone back on our deal , god help him . tripp : you did not just ask him to move in with us . ciara : it 's not forever ; only until he finds another place . ben : ciara , thank you , but -- tripp : shut up . ciara : okay , do n't talk to him like that . tripp : i 'm sorry . how should i talk to him ? ciara : like a person -- not something you just scraped off the bottom of your shoe . tripp : fine . yeah , i 'll talk to him like a person . i 'm not okay with you staying here . and i know claire wo n't be , either . claire : claire wo n't be what ? what 's going on ? tripp : oh , claire . look , just in time . you can tell us yourself . how would you feel if ben weston moved in with us ? gabi : good news ? chad : uh , yeah . the guy that i had watching ben weston just checked in . he left the homeless shelter , so hopefully he 's leaving town for good . gabi : seriously ? chad : yeah , yeah . no one else is gon na take him in . gabi : great , well , one less thing you got ta worry about . chad : well , besides maybe you being mad at me 'cause i may have let ari take a nap , and she might be out for the count for a while . gabi : that 's okay . chad : and also i might be out for the count for a while too , so -- gabi : thank you for spending time with her . chad : yeah , it 's my pleasure . gabi : still , i , like , pulled you away from abigail . chad : it 's okay . she was leaving . gabi : i think we upset her more than she already was . chad : why do you say that ? gabi : well , she told me that she thought that maybe you were were more interested in spending time with ari ... than you were spending time with thomas . chad : she said that ? gabi : yeah . chad : why would she -- that does n't -- gabi : i 'm sorry . chad : no , that 's not fair . she knows how i feel about our son . gabi : i should have never told you anything . chad : it 's not your fault . i 'm glad you did . stefan : [ clears throat ] abigail : what are you looking at ?

cole and langston both try but fail to find starr . she 's with james while bull ( the guy who 's hunting him down for the money ) has starr 's phone . james finally breaks down and tells starr that he has been forced to help his father work in a chop shop to steal cars and has been abused as a child . so he has been on the run . and that 's why he has taken the money from bull . he tells her that he was hoping to finish school and start a legitimate business with his older brother who got a scholarship and has been working as a teaching assistant until he got assaulted . hearing that , she figures out that ford is his brother . she then trusts and wants to help james after hearing his story . ford is awake and seems to know what is going on . jessica wants to find out if one of her alters might have tried to kill him . but he wo n't tell her . john goes to talk to him . hannah indicates to john and to marty that todd manning might be correct in his theory that she pushed marty and framed todd for it when they see irrational behavior in hannah .

[ scene_break ] james : look , i 'm sorry . well , what are you doing ? starr : i told you that i 'd find you someplace safe , and now i 'm calling the cops . james : no , you can not do that . starr : watch me ! james : if you call them , we 're both dead .

[ scene_break ] avery : well , since daisy 's eating pizza on a bus headed to canada , i think we 're done here . michael : until we actually confirm that it was daisy using the credit card , daniel is still a suspect . michael : tell me how your blood got on daisy 's scarf . daniel : punched a table . michael : really ? daniel : 'cause i was pissed . michael : at daisy ? daniel : yes , at daisy , and took it out on the furniture , not on her . michael : what happened between you and daisy that made you so mad that you wanted to hit something ? daniel : nothing . she was n't even there . michael : and if she had been there , would you have hit her instead of the table ? avery : michael ! do n't answer that . do n't answer that . daniel : no , no ! phyllis : what ? why are you still here ? why is he still here ? daniel : hey . phyllis : i 'm -- i 'm -- i 'm sure that heather reached you , right ? michael : yes . phyllis : good so you know daisy 's alive . michael : we know someone 's using her credit card . ( cell phone vibrates ) michael : uh , excuse me . yeah , heather . what did you find out ? [ scene_break ] neil : good job . lily : hey . what 's this one ? cane , what 's this ? cane : i don ' know . i must have missed it . lily : i guess i better open it , yeah ? cane : right . lily : i wonder who it 's from . cane : i do n't know . lily : ohh . i remember these kind of dolls . devon : they have n't made 'em in years . lily : i know . that 's so cute . cane : what kind of sick joke is this ? genevieve : ethan , i swear , i - i had nothing to do with that . cane : well , if is n't you -- genevieve : it had to be colin . [ scene_break ] michael : daniel , i need you to come downtown with me to the police station for questioning . phyllis : why , why ? michael : the charges on daisy 's credit card were made over her phone . phyllis : that has nothing to do with daniel . michael : the purchases were never picked up . both businesses say that the husband made the phone call . daniel : whoa , whoa . hold on . okay , look , i have not used daisy 's phone to make any calls . i do n't even know where daisy 's phone is . avery : and anyone could be pretending to be daniel . michael : both calls pinged off a tower not far from his apartment . phyllis : oh , god , that 's daisy that 's clearly daisy . she 's afraid of being arrested , so she 's making it look like she 's left town . michael : the police have another theory . they think that daniel 's trying to make it look like daisy 's still alive to hide the fact that he killed her . phyllis : that , based on bogus phone calls . michael : and the threats he made to daisy , and his blood on her scarf , and the time he ca n't account for on the night daisy disappeared . avery : okay , this is all circumstantial , and you know that . michael : i strongly urge you to advise your client to come downtown with me for a formal interrogation . avery : he 'll come . phyllis : no . no , avery ! avery : it will be okay . daniel : it 's fine , mom . i 'm innocent . phyllis : i know you are . avery : all right . phyllis : i 'm gon na be right there , daniel . i just need to find someone to watch lucy , okay ? daniel : okay . phyllis : i 'll be right there . [ scene_break ] kevin : so daisy has n't been using her credit card ? heather : the police think it was daniel . kevin : ( sighs ) so daisy 's not alive , and daniel may be responsible . [ scene_break ] paul : hey , ricky , ( sighs ) i owe you an apology . ricky : did n't we just do this earlier ? paul : yeah . a buddy of mine , uh , from g.c.p.d . just called me , and he told me that they are bringing in a suspect in daisy romalotti 's disappearance . ricky : wow , and it was n't me . paul : i am sorry that i thought you had anything to do with it . ricky : well , i 'd ask you to join me , but i 'm waiting on someone . paul : that 's all i had to say . ricky : ( sighs ) [ scene_break ] eden : ( sighs ) oh , my god . it was ricky . [ next_on ] heather : right now , all the evidence points to you . chloe : a weird night just got weirder . ronan : it 's nice to see you , too . phyllis : they think that daniel killed daisy . nick : well , we know he did n't .
ricky uses daisy 's credit card to order a pizza and buy a bus ticket to canada . when he calls to make the purchases , he says he is daisy 's husband daniel romalotti . michael and heather are informed that further tests prove that the blood on daisy 's scarf belongs to daniel . michael questions daniel informally at phyllis 's place . daniel tells michael that he punched a table because he was frustrated about daisy , and he used her scarf to clean the blood from the cut on his hand , but daisy was n't even home at the time . paul and eden both think ricky is responsible for daisy 's disappearance but nobody believes them . avery advises paul to stop thinking like a detective when it comes to ricky and start thinking like a father . ricky tells paul he misses daisy because she was his only friend . paul later apologizes to ricky when he finds out that daniel is being brought to the police station for questioning .
<s>[INST] phyllis : there -- there was blood -- there was blood on daisy 's scarf . so what ? that does n't mean that something happened to her . michael : true , true . nonetheless , we 're still gon na have to look into it . phyllis : wait a second . `` we 're `` ? michael : it is my duty as the district attorney , and our friendship does preclude that . phyllis : what , our friendship ? are you investigating me ? michael : yes , and anyone else who had a contentious relationship with daisy . heather : hey . michael : hey . heather : sorry to interrupt . um , i wanted to let you know that i got a judge to approve a warrant for daisy 's arrest . michael : on the `` duty to rescue `` charge , i thought you said that was dropped . phyllis : i did n't know . i -- heather : well , wait . it 's -- it 's been issued , but we have n't been able to serve it . we 've put an a.p.b . out on daisy . michael : so daisy 's going from a potential victim to a wanted fugitive then ? [ scene_break ] eden : it 's like you said -- all her stuff 's here . kevin : yeah , she leaves behind everything she owns and her daughter . they find her scarf in some sleazy alley with blood on it , but i 'm the only one who thinks something happened to her . daniel : well , i still think it 's impossible for anyone to take advantage of daisy . kevin : well , somebody had to have done something . eden : yeah , ricky . kevin : ricky williams ? look , the guy 's a jerk , but i do n't think he 's a kidnapper , or worse . besides , did he even know daisy ? eden : yeah , well enough to kiss her . remember ? i saw them ? daniel : yeah . kevin : when ? eden : uh , it was a few weeks ago , but the other day , they were together at crimson lights , and i could n't hear exactly what they were saying , but it was something about daniel . daniel : ( scoffs ) she was probably complaining about what a crappy husband i am . eden : i do n't know , call it a gut feeling , but i think he 's involved in this . [ scene_break ] paul : so heather told me about the arrest warrant . congratulations on digging up that old stuff . avery : thank you . i could n't let daisy get away with what she did to phyllis , although if we ca n't find her ... paul : yeah . do you really think that 's the reason that daisy did n't show up to meet michael , that she caught wind that a warrant might be issued ? avery : i think it 's a possibility . paul : so you think that she left home and abandoned her child because of a possibility ? avery : well , you obviously do n't think so . you got a better theory ? paul : ricky . i think he had something to do with daisy 's disappearance . avery : are you serous ? paul : ( sighs ) yeah , he 's been hanging around her a lot lately , and suddenly , she 's gone . avery : okay . okay , paul , this is getting crazy . every time something bad happens , you blame ricky . paul : so you are certain that she left on her own to avoid being arrested ? avery : yes , i am . [ scene_break ] ricky : yeah , i 'd like to order a large sausage pizza with mushrooms . i 'll be putting it on a credit card . it 's my wife 's . she 'll be picking up the food . yeah , sure , uh , her name is daisy romalotti .

( sighs ) you are doing an awesome job , daniel , making your wife look like she 's on the run . [ scene_break ] phyllis : this is good . so you finally believe that daisy skipped out to avoid being arrested . michael : at the moment , i 'm not inclined to believe anything . phyllis : you just -- you just called her a `` fugitive . `` that 's what you just said . you said -- michael : that 's the official designation , now that the warrant has been issued , but i 've got a lot of questions . phyllis : what -- what questions could you possibly have ? michael : i 've got a lot -- heather : that was the lab . they finished running the tests on daisy 's scarf . the blood is daniel 's . phyllis : ( sighs ) michael : and the hard copy ? heather : they 're forwarding us the results now . phyllis : okay , please , michael ? michael . michael : i 'm sorry , phyllis , i 'm gon na have to take daniel down for questioning . phyllis : do n't jump to conclu -- oh , my , are -- are -- daisy and daniel live together . they live together , okay ? come on , give me a break . he could have cut himself shaving . he could have cut his hand and gotten blood on daisy 's scarf . michael : could have , could have , but the scarf was found in alley . phyllis : she dropped it . michael : daisy asked me to meet in that alley because she had something to say to me . phyllis : yeah , she did have something to say to you ! she was afraid of being arrested . she was gon na give you a sob story to try to prove her innocence . heather : okay , but if she wanted to defend herself , why would n't she wait for michael -- phyllis : you know , heather , i do n't know . i do n't know , heather . she panicked . michael : all right , phyllis , phyllis , listen to me . it -- that could have happened , but if i ignore daniel as a suspect , i 'll not be doing my job . the district attorney . heather : look , daniel can come down to the station for questioning , or we can send someone to pick him up . phyllis : do -- michael ... plea -- come on , just come to the house , okay ? just come to the house , talk to him at the house . please -- i do n't want to go to the -- please ? official . michael : all right , alright , all right , listen to me we 'll stay at the apartment , but i have to go where the evidence leads , phyllis . phyllis : it 'll prove his innocence . michael : call avery . daniel 's gon na need a good attorney .

' liberty says her goodbye without brad knowing . parker slips out claiming he is going to play basketball , as carly is busy cooking . dusty thinks about his time he spent with lucy and johnny . craig realizes that johnny 's drawn picture of ‘daddy ' is of dusty . he then realizes that dusty has been visiting when lucy has been watching him , so he sets a trap by asking lucy to baby - sit again that day . lucy calls dusty to invite him to spend time with them . craig shows up as they are all hanging gout and reads them the riot act . lucy tries to get him to understand , but craig assures her that he will never allow her to betray him again ; he also intends on never allowing her or dusty near johnny again ; he tells her that he no longer has a daughter . lucy seems distraught and worries about dusty not being able to see johnny anymore as well , as if he is going to send her to jail because of that . he tells her not to worry about that and as far as johnny is concerned , they have a bond with him that craig ca n't break and they will see him soon no matter what . craig learns of jack and carly 's decision and thinks it is a bad one and she is doing it to appease jack . carly kicks him out , as he jokes that she is afraid that what happened between them the other night might happen again . later , carly swallows down some vodka . katie wants to make love , but brad wants to save himself to make his deposit at the lab ; he also hopes vienna is doing the same , as katie starts to feel left out of this equation , but brad reminds her that this was her decision and he is doing it to make her happy , as katie looks slightly concerned . janet assures jack , who is still having misgivings about his decision , that he is definitely doing the right thing by both their kids . parker and liberty meet , as she wonders again if this is the right choice . parker is sure of it , as they start to leave when johnny sees them . they talk with him a moment before he leaves with his babysitter after he sounds out parker 's car 's license plate – booboo .

chelsea : hi . kevin : hey ! little guy . what 's shakin ' , bacon ? chelsea : do you have time for a coffee break ? kevin : yeah . absolutely . well , minus the coffee . chelsea : oh . no good ? i think they harvest these beans from a dumpster in downtown detroit . it 's eating away at my insides . chelsea : maybe it 's not just the coffee doing that . how 's chloe ? i came to see if she made it to california okay ? kevin : she did . it all went smoothly . the director of the facility called . said she settled in . she already had her first therapy session . chelsea : oh , good . it 's gon na be great for her , kevin , even though i know you did n't want to let her go . kevin : well , she needs the kind of help that i ca n't give her . and if she 's gon na get it in california , then , uh , i feel fantastic about that . chelsea : no , you do n't . victor : hey , stitch . stitch : mr. newman . victor : how are you doing ? had i known you here , i would have asked you to go a couple of rounds with me . stitch : [ sighs ] victor : by the looks of it , you ... already have gone through the ringer . stitch : yeah , it 's been a rough night . victor : tough time at the hospital ? stitch : no . uh , and if you do n't mind , sir , that 's all i 'm gon na say about it . victor : it does n't happen to have anything to do with my daughter , does it ? victoria : you say that my being pregnant is a sign that we should be together . billy : it is . victoria : okay . but what if this baby is ben 's ? will you be okay with that ? billy : yes . no matter whose baby it is , i will be okay with it . abby : you came home after all . tyler : come on . you did n't think that i 'd actually stay in portland with mariah , did you ? abby : why would n't i ? tyler : look , i told you that i would be back , even though i was n't sure what i 'd be coming back to . abby : listen , if you 're hoping that i 'm gon na sit here and tell you that things can go back to the way they used to be between us ... tyler : ca n't they ? abby : my brother does n't think so . tyler : wait , you talked to nick about this ? abby : he wants me to cut you loose . tyler : well , what about you ? what do you want ? nick : you 're gon na go see mariah ? sharon : tonight . nick : you 're going to portland right now ? sharon : if i can make it happen . nick : i do n't get it . where is this coming from ? sharon : i spoke with tyler . he just got back from trying to get mariah out of this mess she 's in . nick : well , if he wants to help her , then let him . he has a connection to her . he should n't be dragging you into this . sharon : nick , she specifically asked for my help . nick : well , then , you can specifically tell her to shove it . sharon : no , i ca n't . i have to do this . nick : look , i know you have a soft spot for mariah , because she looks like cassie , but -- sharon : it 's more than that , nick . nick : what else can there be ? this girl has no redeemable qualities . sharon : maybe she does , and they 're just -- they 're locked away . nick : sharon , come on . sharon : nick , listen to me . tyler told me that mariah had it really rough growing up . she was dirt poor . she had a mother who was barely around . she had a father who was never around . and i think i can relate to that last one . nick : even if you can , this girl is no more you than she is cassie . sharon : okay , it 's true that our lives went in very different directions , but that 's because i had a mother who loved me and i had you . without that , who knows what i would have been like at mariah 's age . nick : i just wish you 'd stop making excuses for this girl . sharon : i told mariah that i would n't judge her and that i would be there for her , to talk to . so i 'm just gon na go to portland and see what she wants . nick : i know what she wants , and you 're making a huge mistake by playing into her hands . chelsea : i thought you of all people would know better than to try to con a con . kevin : who says that 's what i 'm doing . chelsea : your face says and your body language . i can tell you 're hurt that chloe decided to get help away from you . kevin : well , if you knew how i was feeling , why 'd you ask ? chelsea : well , i wanted you to be honest with me . and i want you to know , you can be honest with me . you do n't have to hide your feelings . kevin : apparently not , since suddenly you 've turned into the mentalist . chelsea : oh . okay , fine . i wo n't try to help you . kevin : hold on , hold on , hold on . i 'm sorry . um , you know , it 's hard . it -- it makes me sad that chloe did n't turn to me . in case you have n't noticed , i have this pathological need to help people . chelsea : because no one was there to help you as a kid ? kevin : do n't get me wrong . i 'm glad she 's getting help . i am grateful to you for making that happen -- for seeing the state she was in , when i could n't . chelsea : believe me , i know what it 's like to see only what you want to see in someone . kevin : yeah , love will do that to you , huh ? chelsea : if you ever doubt it , just know chloe does love you , kevin -- so much . kevin : yeah , i know that now . we , uh -- you know , we -- we got close again before she left , so it was nice feeling like we were actually married . chelsea : that 's a real gift . i 'm really glad . i 'm glad you guys got to share that . kevin : thanks . and even though she 's not here now , i have hope for the future . chelsea : i guess that 's all we can ask for , right ? kevin : right . chelsea : [ sighs ] kevin : so , what 's this really all about ? chelsea : what 's what about ? kevin : you could have picked up the phone and asked how i was doing about chloe . but , instead , you came all the way down here at night . it makes me wonder why . stitch : forgive me for being blunt , sir , but i 'd -- i 'd rather not talk about it . victor : i understand . and no need to apologize for your candor . i just wanted to offer you some assistance where my daughter 's concerned , if you need it . stitch : thanks . i appreciate that . but i know you and your daughter are n't in the best place right now . victor : well , stitch , it may surprise you , but ... she and i have a bond that is unbreakable . i love her very much , and that is why i want only the best for her , okay ? stitch : we both want that . uh , but , with all due respect , sir , who 's to say what 's best for her ? uh , i think we need to leave that to victoria . victor : all right . stitch : no matter how difficult that is . victor : you got that right . you 're a good man , stitch . have a nice day . stitch : yes , sir . victoria : seriously , you would have no problem if this baby were ben 's ? billy : seriously ? yes . of course i would have a problem . it 's driving me crazy , thinking of you having sex with the guy . victoria : yeah . i know what it feels like to be cheated on . billy : once . i slept with kelly once . for all i know , every time you see ben , you 're getting it on with him . victoria : oh . look , i told you ... billy : yeah , i 'm surprised that you do n't have a little black book of guys . why stop at stitch when you can have the whole town ? victoria : stop , billy . just stop ! billy : i am trying ! and -- and i ca n't . it just keeps going around and around in my brain , and i keep getting these images of you . and i 'm wondering if i 'll be able to accept this baby if it 's not mine . victoria : i accepted johnny . billy : yeah , but it took you a while . you had just as much trouble with that as i 'm having . victoria : well , okay . how are you gon na deal with the next few weeks before the paternity test ? billy : it 's gon na be hell . victoria : well , then , how can you even consider you and i trying to get back together right now ? how ? billy : i was going to say it 's going to be hell not knowing who the father is . but i will deal with it ... because i love you so much ... and we will get through all of this together . stitch : no one will hear about your pregnancy from me if you 're sure you do n't want anyone to know . victoria : no , i do n't . i just need some time to think . stitch : and you 'll have it . victoria : [ sighs ] stitch : and if you need to talk , i - i can do that -- as a doctor , as a friend . i 'm right here . victoria : you 're not angry that i did n't tell you ? stitch : you sure you 're not angry i dug into your personal life ? victoria : i do n't have the energy to be angry . i am too busy being completely freaked out . stitch : it 's gon na be okay . victoria : what 's gon na be okay ? the pregnancy ? things happen -- i know that firsthand . people finding out -- how they 'll react -- billy -- this is all such a huge mess . it is . stitch : it 's still your miracle . remember that . kelly : well , so , have you been to the victoria and albert museum ?

[ door opens , closes ] tyler : all right , look . it 's your opinion that counts in this , not nick 's , especially since he 's not exactly objective in any of this . abby : he may have admitted that his judgment is a little off because of your relationship with mariah . tyler : okay , well , at least he copped to it . abby : not only did he cop to it , he advised me that i should trust my own gut about you . tyler : so , what 's it saying ? abby : `` oh , abby , you know you 're crazy in love with tyler . you can never let him go . `` but then the other part of me just thinks any guy who would leave to go hold his ex 's hand deserves to be dumped . tyler : look , you know why i went there . abby : because you owed her . tyler : it 's true . i had to try to help mariah -- the same way that she helped me back in the day . abby : and did you -- help her ? tyler : well , i made an effort . so now my debt is paid , all right ? she 's sharon 's project now . abby : what does that mean ? tyler : well , sharon -- she 's on her way to portland now to support her . abby : after what that whack - job - for - hire put her through ? tyler : i know . i could n't believe how agreeable she was when i went over there just now . abby : you went and saw sharon before me ? tyler : yeah . mariah -- she asked me to reach out to her , so -- abby : oh , yeah , yeah , yeah . and you followed her command like a little lap dog ? tyler : look , i was just trying to finish what i started . abby : oh , my god , tyler . things are sketchy enough as it is between us . why would you go blow me off and go help mariah instead ? hmm ? sharon : nick , i know what you 're thinking -- that mariah just wants to get more money out of me . nick : i 'm thinking it because it 's true . sharon : [ sighs ] nicholas ! nick : here 's what 's gon na happen . that money is gon na go towards her bail . then she 's gon na have you hire a dream team of lawyers to defend her . then you 're probably gon na get her a house , then set up a trust fund for her . sharon : you are being ridiculous . nick : am i ? well , it 's not like you 're flying halfway across the country just to give emotional support to her . sharon : we 'll see when i get there . nick : okay , what if i 'm right ? what if i 'm right ? then what are you gon na do ? sharon : i honestly do n't know . i would just like the opportunity to have one more conversation with her . nick : and what is it you 're hoping to gain ? sharon : like i said , closure . nick : she already gave you her sob story about how sorry she is that she impersonated cassie . what else do you need to hear ? sharon : i just need to go , okay ? nick : it 's not okay . mariah preys on people like you . sharon : on people like me ? and what is that ? what am i , insane , weak , or some kind of helpless victim ? nick : sharon , you are a woman who misses her daughter so much that you 'll fly to see a terrible imitation of her halfway across the country , just to get one more look at her . but it 's never gon na be enough . you will give your whole life away to this girl in the hopes that it will bring cassie back , and i can not let that happen . sharon : because you need to control me . nick : no , i need you to see things for what they are , sharon . sharon : who are you ? are you victor ? because you sound just like your father right now . nick : how can you say that about me ? sharon : talk about somebody who needs to see things for how they really are . nick : i just need you to listen to me . sharon : why , so you can keep trying to stop me from seeing mariah ? if that 's all you have to say , you might as well just go . tyler : look , abby , you got this all wrong , all right ? i was n't blowing you off . in fact , it was the exact opposite . abby : oh , i 'm sorry . i did n't realize that being the stop on your homecoming tour was a sign of your love and undying devotion . tyler : look , i 'm devoted to you , all right ? you 're the most important person in the world to me . that 's why i went to go see sharon . abby : exactly how many of those little vodka bottles did you have on the plane ? because you 're making absolutely no sense . tyler : all right , look . delivering that message from mariah -- that closed the book on her for good , all right ? but i had to go get that out of the way first so i could come to you free and clear . abby : you say that -- hey , you might even mean it -- but when it comes right down to it , will you ever be free of mariah ? tyler : i swear to you , the days of mariah causing trouble for us are over -- for good . sharon : nothing tonight ? what about tomorrow ? first flight out ?

this girl has no redeemable qualities . sharon : maybe she does , and they 're just -- they 're locked away . nick : sharon , come on . sharon : nick , listen to me . tyler told me that mariah had it really rough growing up . she was dirt poor . she had a mother who was barely around . she had a father who was never around . and i think i can relate to that last one . nick : even if you can , this girl is no more you than she is cassie . sharon : okay , it 's true that our lives went in very different directions , but that 's because i had a mother who loved me and i had you . without that , who knows what i would have been like at mariah 's age . nick : i just wish you 'd stop making excuses for this girl . sharon : i told mariah that i would n't judge her and that i would be there for her , to talk to . so i 'm just gon na go to portland and see what she wants . nick : i know what she wants , and you 're making a huge mistake by playing into her hands . chelsea : i thought you of all people would know better than to try to con a con . kevin : who says that 's what i 'm doing . chelsea : your face says and your body language . i can tell you 're hurt that chloe decided to get help away from you . kevin : well , if you knew how i was feeling , why 'd you ask ? chelsea : well , i wanted you to be honest with me . and i want you to know , you can be honest with me . you do n't have to hide your feelings . kevin : apparently not , since suddenly you 've turned into the mentalist . chelsea : oh . okay , fine . i wo n't try to help you . kevin : hold on , hold on , hold on . i 'm sorry . um , you know , it 's hard . it -- it makes me sad that chloe did n't turn to me . in case you have n't noticed , i have this pathological need to help people . chelsea : because no one was there to help you as a kid ? kevin : do n't get me wrong . i 'm glad she 's getting help . i am grateful to you for making that happen -- for seeing the state she was in , when i could n't . chelsea : believe me , i know what it 's like to see only what you want to see in someone . kevin : yeah , love will do that to you , huh ? chelsea : if you ever doubt it , just know chloe does love you , kevin -- so much . kevin : yeah , i know that now . we , uh -- you know , we -- we got close again before she left , so it was nice feeling like we were actually married . chelsea : that 's a real gift . i 'm really glad . i 'm glad you guys got to share that . kevin : thanks . and even though she 's not here now , i have hope for the future . chelsea : i guess that 's all we can ask for , right ? kevin : right . chelsea : [ sighs ] kevin : so , what 's this really all about ? chelsea : what 's what about ? kevin : you could have picked up the phone and asked how i was doing about chloe . but , instead , you came all the way down here at night . it makes me wonder why . stitch : forgive me for being blunt , sir , but i 'd -- i 'd rather not talk about it . victor : i understand . and no need to apologize for your candor . i just wanted to offer you some assistance where my daughter 's concerned , if you need it . stitch : thanks . i appreciate that . but i know you and your daughter are n't in the best place right now . victor : well , stitch , it may surprise you , but ... she and i have a bond that is unbreakable . i love her very much , and that is why i want only the best for her , okay ? stitch : we both want that . uh , but , with all due respect , sir , who 's to say what 's best for her ? uh , i think we need to leave that to victoria . victor : all right . stitch : no matter how difficult that is . victor : you got that right . you 're a good man , stitch . have a nice day . stitch : yes , sir . victoria : seriously , you would have no problem if this baby were ben 's ? billy : seriously ? yes . of course i would have a problem . it 's driving me crazy , thinking of you having sex with the guy . victoria : yeah . i know what it feels like to be cheated on . billy : once . i slept with kelly once . for all i know , every time you see ben , you 're getting it on with him . victoria : oh . look , i told you ... billy : yeah , i 'm surprised that you do n't have a little black book of guys . why stop at stitch when you can have the whole town ? victoria : stop , billy . just stop ! billy : i am trying ! and -- and i ca n't . it just keeps going around and around in my brain , and i keep getting these images of you . and i 'm wondering if i 'll be able to accept this baby if it 's not mine . victoria : i accepted johnny . billy : yeah , but it took you a while . you had just as much trouble with that as i 'm having . victoria : well , okay . how are you gon na deal with the next few weeks before the paternity test ? billy : it 's gon na be hell . victoria : well , then , how can you even consider you and i trying to get back together right now ? how ? billy : i was going to say it 's going to be hell not knowing who the father is . but i will deal with it ... because i love you so much ... and we will get through all of this together . stitch : no one will hear about your pregnancy from me if you 're sure you do n't want anyone to know . victoria : no , i do n't . i just need some time to think . stitch : and you 'll have it . victoria : [ sighs ] stitch : and if you need to talk , i - i can do that -- as a doctor , as a friend . i 'm right here . victoria : you 're not angry that i did n't tell you ? stitch : you sure you 're not angry i dug into your personal life ? victoria : i do n't have the energy to be angry . i am too busy being completely freaked out . stitch : it 's gon na be okay . victoria : what 's gon na be okay ? the pregnancy ? things happen -- i know that firsthand . people finding out -- how they 'll react -- billy -- this is all such a huge mess . it is . stitch : it 's still your miracle . remember that . kelly : well , so , have you been to the victoria and albert museum ?

ethan : she 's fine . well , the doctor managed to stop her contractions , but to be on the safe side , he 's keeping her overnight for observation . that 's why i 'm here . i came here to crash , because julian said that we could use the apartment whenever we needed to . fox : well , that would have been great if you 'd let me in on that little tidbit . ethan : wait a minute . what are you all doing here ?

brooke can not believe that ridge broke it off with caroline just because he had a vasectomy . it happened when she was in paris . he was not seeing anyone and he told no one . he did not know if his relationship with caroline would last , and he saw no reason to bring it up . he explains that now she wants children . he told her that he did n't . when she wakes up and knows the truth she will understand . caroline does wake up naked in bed and is astounded when she finds thomas laying beside her . she remembers nothing of how he got there and asks him to explain , but she will not let him touch her . he says he told her how he felt and it was mutual ; they made love . she becomes hysterical and even more so when she says she remembers nothing except that she did take some pills before he came over . he claims he knew nothing about that and while she was a little emotional he thought she was okay . he would never take advantage of her . they talked a long time before anything happened . she says she is not that kind of girl who would date his father and then turn around and make love to his son . she screams when thomas tries to explain how it happened and tells him to get out . he grabs his clothes and leaves . she is crying when ridge calls and wants to talk to her .
<s>[INST] brooke : you had a vasectomy ? ! that 's why you broke it off with caroline ? ridge : not every woman wants to have children , but caroline does , and i ca n't allow her to throw that away because of me , 'cause she would . brooke : she does n't think you want children , not that you ca n't ! ridge : she does n't understand that now , but she will . brooke : [ sighs ] ridge : when she left here , she was hurt . she was upset . she was confused . when she wakes up , it 's all gon na make sense to her .

[ sighs ] do n't look at me like that . yeah , maybe i should have told her about it , but that 's just gon na confuse things even more .

hope : he wanted to change , and someone took that opportunity away from him . maybe that call will help us find whoever did that . will : sorry . i did n't mean to interrupt . rafe : what were you saying about nick 's last words ? marlena : nick left me a voice message last night ... rafe : huh . marlena : just as he was being shot . jordan : i barely knew him , but the way he came walking into the square covered in blood ... i had nightmares last night . ben : well , if you had known him , you 'd probably feel a whole lot better about the whole thing . jordan : ben ! ben : come on . someone shot and killed nick fallon last night , and except for those two aunts or whatever , no one else cared . jordan : including his cousin abigail ? ej : abigail . daniel : why do n't you explain this , nicole ? nicole : uh , i do n't -- i do n't know what you 're talking about . daniel : oh , i think you do . and it 's time for you to come clean . will : nick called you ? what did he say ? marlena : he was reaching out . he was asking about counseling . will : [ chuckles ] what ? rafe : yeah , or pretending to . hope : will , what are you doing here ? will : i needed to talk to you about something . hope : okay . rafe : do you want me to stay ? will : no , i 'll be okay . thanks . rafe : all right . marlena , good to see you . marlena : yes , you too , rafe . are you okay ? will : sure . marlena : call me as soon as you 're done . promise ? okay . hope : so , will ... what did you want to talk to me about ? will : it 's about nick . um ... right before he was shot , i ... threatened to kill him . ej : look , i really wanted to check in , you know , but ... abigail : but you did n't quite know how to explain checking in with me to your fiancée ? ej : well , yeah . and you were with that -- you know , that nice chap . it looked like you were well taken care of . abigail : [ scoffs ] oh , so -- so no worries , then , right ? ej : hey , i think you 're in shock . abigail : no , i - i was in shock . i was in shock ... but i should n't have been . god , i should 've known by now . i should 've wised up and faced the facts . ej : what facts exactly ? abigail : the facts of who you are and the things that you do , the fact that as soon as nick let you know he knew about us , he was as good as dead . [ telephone ringing ] jennifer : oh . hmm . that must be daniel , but he usually calls my cell . hold on . hello ? oh , caroline , hi . yeah . yeah , it is sad about nick . well , thank you very much . that is so kind of you . caroline , that is not true . are you forgetting that nick let you take the fall for a crime that he committed ? come on . listen , and when he got out of prison , you gave him a job . you gave him a place to stay . you were so generous to him . listen , you want to talk to eric ? he 's here with me . yeah , hold on . eric : hey , grandma . yeah , i 'm glad you called . i was gon na call you later , actually . grandma , please . do n't do this to yourself . come on , you did everything you could for nick . yes , everything you could . nicole : i told you , i do n't know what you 're talking about . i do n't -- i do n't know what these are . daniel : you barely looked at them , nicole . look at them . nicole : okay . all right . oh , my god . this proves that chyka gave kristen the drugs to seduce eric . this clears his name . daniel : yeah , that 's right . that 's exactly what it does . nicole : i do n't know where you found these , but thank god you did . daniel : really ? really ? `` thank god `` ? nicole : of course . daniel : so you 're saying -- you 're saying you 've never seen these before ... and you 're glad that we have them now . nicole : yes , of course i am . i mean , if i had seen these , i would have shown them to eric . i would have told him . in fact , you know what ? i 'm gon na do that right now . daniel : nicole , stop . for your own sake , just stop . marlena : rafe ? rafe : yeah . marlena : hi . do you have a minute ? rafe : yeah , sure . marlena : well , um , i wanted to ask , is -- is will in a lot of trouble ? rafe : no , no , no . everything 's gon na be fine . but i will let him fill you in on the details , okay ? marlena : sure . rafe : by the way , have you seen allie ?

will : w - we were fighting . hope : a physical fight ? will : i started it , but we were both throwing punches when rafe broke it up . hope : detective hernandez . will : that 's right . hope : okay , so , again , i 'll ask you ... what were you arguing about ? will : well , it -- it was what sonny and i had told you before . nick had convinced gabi to draw up a custody agreement , and in it , it stated that i would only be able to visit arianna every other weekend . he was trying to take my daughter from me ... again . he said that i was unfit to be a father . so i punched him . but i did n't kill him . hope : i have to ask . where were you last night at 8 : 45 p.m. ? will : is that -- hope : that 's when nick was shot . ej : look , um ... i know you 're upset , obviously , but you really just need to calm down . abigail : `` calm down `` ? you want me to calm down ? ej : i think you 're overreacting . abigail : `` overreacting `` ? you think that i 'm overreacting ? i stood there in my mother 's office when you told me that -- that i had to keep my mouth shut , that i could n't tell her the truth , and -- ej : are n't you glad you did n't say anything now ? abigail : you swore to me that nick could be reasoned with , that you would convince him that he should n't say anything about us . ej : okay , do me a favor . keep your voice down . abigail : you promised me that our secret would stay secret . you really kept your promise , did n't you ? nicole : daniel ? daniel ! why are you talking to me like this ? why are you looking at me like -- i have never seen these papers before in my life . daniel : well , i am looking at you like you 're lying . nicole : why ? what ? no . i 'm confused ... upset , hurt . i have no idea where these papers came from . daniel : well , i went on to smith island to look for jennifer 's necklace . while i was searching in the woods , i found them there . nicole : smith island ? that -- this does n't make any sense . daniel : oh , i think it does . see , at first , i thought you lost them there . but then i started thinking about how weird you were with liam . you said you were investigating him because he drugged me . nicole : he did drug you , and you know it , and he was crazy and obsessed about jennifer . daniel : no , no , no , you were right about him . but in spite of all of your excuses , i never really understood why you did n't tell me that you suspected him , but then i realized he had something on you . yeah , he had these on you . yeah ? he blackmailed you to keep you quiet . nicole : no , no , no . you 've got it all wrong . daniel : do i ? well , what about that paper that i found in your hotel months ago , the one that was taped back together because it had been shredded , kind of like this one right here ? you said you thought it came from stefano to mess with eric 's head , but that was n't true , because all along , you had evidence to prove eric 's innocence , and you did n't say a single word ? will : i 'm not sure exactly where i was at that time . i - i know that i was returning a book at the library . hope : which library ? will : salem u . hope : where 'd you go from there ? will : straight to the town square . hope : any stops along the way ? will : no . hope : were you alone ? will : yes . hope : did anyone see you ? will : not anybody that i know . i was on campus . there 's -- hope : do you own or have access to a gun ? will : no . i mean -- hope : you mean what ? will : i mean , i know people . hope : will , did you have a gun last night in your possession ? will : no . i did n't kill nick , hope . i did n't . hope : okay . that 's it for now . thank you for coming in . you saved me a call . i 'm sure sonny told you that i 'll be questioning everyone in the square last night . will : you talked to sonny ? he was here ? hope : i did . will : i did n't know that . i 'm telling you the truth . you do believe me , do n't you ? hope : will , the reality is , right now ... i ca n't rule out anyone as a suspect . ben : she -- she was in shock , just numb . it looked like she did n't care , but she did . jordan : i 'm not judging . i 'm just making an observation . i like abigail . she 's my friend . looks like you like her too . ben : she 's nice . jordan : so last night at the hospital -- i did n't know you two were so close . ben : we 've talked before . look , i - i walked in on her and nick . he was being a real jerk , like he was out to upset her . jordan : and you stood up for her , did n't you ? tell me , galahad , did you get into a fight with him ? ben : i just stood up for her . jordan : right . ben , do you still have that gun ? ej : abigail ... you know how many enemies nick had . abigail : yes , i do . a lot of people had motive , ej , but you had something different , did n't you ? your daddy 's contact list . god , it is so like you to do this , to handle things so professionally . ej : that 's not how it happened . abigail : no , it 's not . but what happened , i know . what happened is that nick threatened you , and then he ended up eliminated . and the way that he died had dimera written all over it . [ gasps ] ej : abigail ... you know me . i swear to you ... i would never do that to nick . i swear to you . okay ? okay ? okay , good . abigail : i do -- i do know you . i know you very well . and i know ... that you are a world - class liar . ej : yes , i am . nicole : why would i track down chyka ? why would i risk my life to find that proof and then not show eric when i found it ? daniel : okay , as i said before , i think you meant it at the time . but obviously something changed . so what happened when i left with stefano 's thug , when you were alone there with chyka ? did he offer you evidence in exchange for his freedom ? nicole : no . i swear to you , he overpowered me . daniel : well , then you must have gotten the evidence after he left . nicole : daniel , you have to listen to me , okay ? i - i - i do n't know what this is . i do n't know where these papers came from , okay ? i mean , maybe ... wait a minute . stefano , maybe -- maybe he was behind this ... and kristen . they 're trying to frame me . daniel : a conspiracy , huh ? nicole : yes . it 's the only explanation . i would never betray eric . i mean , please , you have to stop with these horrible accusations , daniel , for the sake of our friendship . why ca n't you believe me ? rafe : ah , i would n't say that nick deserved to die . it 's just that the guy ... well , he just went around sticking his thumb in people 's eyes . the way he treated will -- marlena : the way he treated will ? is that why will wanted to see hope ? rafe : like i said , i 'll let him fill you in on the details . marlena : i guess we ca n't ignore the fact that will had a very strong motive . rafe : well , he was n't the only one . i spent half a year in a damn hospital bed because a guy thought i was nick and tried to beat me to death . the day that guy got out of jail , he hated nick so much , he came back to town to exact revenge . i just get the feeling that nick had that effect on a whole hell of a lot of people . marlena : you mean prisoners , or you mean people of salem ? rafe : i do n't know . and i do n't really care . i 'm just glad he 's out of my sister 's life for good . ben : so you really think i shot that guy last night . jordan : no , i do n't think that , and i did n't say that . but i want to know about that gun , because if the police find out about it -- ben : jordan , you know why i have that gun . jordan : yeah , and i also know you do n't have a permit for it . and if anyone finds out , it 's gon na raise a lot of questions that wo n't be good for either one of us . ben : then let 's make sure that no one does find out about it . jordan : just please be careful , okay ? not just for my sake , but for yours . hope : yeah , these photos are pretty revealing . you 've been very helpful . thank you .

[ sighs ] ben : you 're not okay . abigail : [ sighs , chuckles ] [ sighs ] hope : you do n't seem too anxious to turn those over , ej . ej : [ sighs ] [ sighs ] it just looks like nick fallon leaving his office . hope : it was taken by mad world security cameras . nick looks upset , do n't you think ? take a look at the next one . that 's you leaving his office about a half minute later . you also look upset , one might even say angry . ej : mm - hmm . what is your point , detective ? hope : my point ... these photos were taken the day that nick fallon was murdered . now , of course , on one hand , it could be a coincidence . ej : mm - hmm , and on the other hand ? hope : and on the other hand , you may want to rethink having your attorney present after all . daniel : why did n't you tell eric ? nicole : i meant to . i swear it . i meant to . after chyka escaped , i - i found the evidence in his safe . i was so happy . i - i rushed back to salem , and eric came over , and i was gon na give him the documents . daniel : and ? eric : and then he told me ... he told me he left the priesthood to be with me . do you have any idea how long i 've been waiting to hear that ? and i just -- i could n't -- i could n't do it . i mean , it was ... i kept telling myself -- i kept telling myself , `` you have to give him the papers , `` and i could n't . i - i just could n't . i know it was so selfish . but i told myself , `` he 's already made the decision , so what difference does it make ? `` daniel : the difference would be that eric could prove to everyone -- the church , his parishioners , his family -- that kristen raped him . nicole ... it changes everything . nicole : i know . that 's what i was afraid of . me ? dramatic ? no . daniel : how did liam get a hold of these papers ? nicole : you had said that this was eating at me . and it was . it was -- it was driving me crazy , and , you know , one time , i was gon na undo everything . i mean , i got the papers , and i was putting them together , but it was so frustrating . it was awful work , and the whole time i was doing that , i just kept hearing this voice saying , `` you 're never gon na give eric these papers . you could lose him . `` daniel : liam ? nicole : hope told me that chyka 's case was closed ... and i was -- i was still crazy , and so i ... i took the papers that i had shredded that night to this rest stop , and i was going to burn them , and that 's when liam showed up . daniel : he followed you . nicole : i guess so . i did n't even know who he was . he told me he was a fan , and he had seen me on tv . i men , he must have followed me ... because he -- i mean , i was figuring out what he was doing to you and jennifer . daniel : and blackmailed you with these . he blackmailed you -- well , he blackmailed you into not telling me or jennifer the name of the man who was out to ruin our lives . nicole : daniel , if anything happened to either one of you , i would never have forgiven myself . daniel : okay , wait a minute . you shot liam . was that to keep him quiet ? nicole : no . no , daniel , i was trying to save your life . do you have any idea how much you mean to me ? you 're my best friend in the whole world , and now you hate me , and you 're never gon na forgive me , and why should you ? daniel : you 're wrong , nicole . i do forgive you . eric : see , the thing is , is that i have n't told my mom or sami about the engagement yet . jennifer : okay , so are you asking me to help you smooth the waters a little bit ? eric : i was thinking you could tell them . tell them that nicole is changed . she 's not the person she was . jennifer : no , you 're right . i mean , i 'll do what i can . and my words may hold some weight , you know ? nicole and i -- we have a past , but we are great friends now . eric : right , because the only reason nicole was like that was because she was unhappy , but that -- that 's changed . jennifer : i know it 's changed . i have never seen her as happy as she is today . eric : me too . jennifer : right , so why are we sitting here talking about this , because the two of you have so much to celebrate , and we need to get out of here right now . eric : [ laughs ] marlena : and you know that rafe was right . it 's good that you went straight to hope and told her what happened with nick . will : it ended up with me being interviewed on tape . marlena : that 's her job . she will interview everybody involved with the case . well , not everyone involved in the case threatened to kill him . marlena : he was threatening you too . look , the two of you did n't get along , and it only got worse -- will : did n't get along ? i hated him . i 'm glad he 's dead . abigail : i hate that you 're using your break time to keep me from falling apart . ben : even though you had what seemed to be a pretty intense relationship with him , your cousin was murdered last night . i - i just -- i think you could use a friend . abigail : you were ... you were right last night . i do feel guilty . ben : i think it 's just hard because of the way things ended between the two of you . abigail : [ sighs ] oh , god . i wish that -- oh , i should 've ... i should 've tried harder to work things out with him , you know ? maybe if i would 've just kept my cool , then none of this would have ever happened . ben : it 's not your fault , abigail . nick 's murder had nothing to do with you . abigail : no ? because i 'm not so sure . ej : those photographs do n't prove anything . you must really be desperate . hope : just tell me what you and nick were arguing about and stop wasting my time . ej : look , who says nick and i were arguing ? [ laughs ] do you have a source ? okay ... nick and i had a minor disagreement . hope : oh , yeah . i mean , the fact that you went to his office , felt that you had to speak to him face - to - face , makes it seem like something serious . ej : it was business . it had come to my attention that , uh , some of the ideas he was developing for mad world cosmetics were ... uncannily similar to some of the projects i 'd been working on at countess wilhelmina . hope : so nick could have cost you a lot of money ? possibly millions ? some might call that a motive . ej : well , some might also call it rather shoddy police work , detective . i tell you what -- let 's play your game , okay ? let 's just say that 's my motive . the problem you 're going to have is you ca n't prove opportunity . samantha and i were wandering around the horton town square when the poor lad was shot , and there are plenty of upstanding citizens who i 'm sure would be quite happy to attest to that . hope : oh , yeah , i 'm sure there are . but i would not assume for a second that ej dimera would do his own dirty work . so , if it turns out we can prove that this was a professional hit , i think you and i both know there were very few people in that square with those kind of connections . nicole : thank you . daniel , thank you so much . you have no idea how much your forgiveness means to me . daniel : i know how much you struggled with what you 've done . and i know how much you love eric . nicole : i do . i do , and i 'm gon na make him really happy -- really , really happy . so you 're not gon na tell him , are you ? daniel : no . you are . rafe : well , a lot of people hated nick ... so i 'd be hard - pressed to narrow down the suspects . the ironic thing is , if i were still working the case , you know who i 'd put at the top of the list ? jordan : who ? rafe : me . ej : i suppose i should have known it would only be a matter of time before you tried to pin this crime on my family , no matter how far the reach . detective ... [ clears throat ] if you have any legitimate questions you would like to ask me ... you know where to find me . [ door closes ] marlena : you do n't mean that . you are not capable of that kind of hatred . will : are you sure about that ? he said that i was n't fit to be a father ... that he was going to try to take my daughter away from me . if rafe had n't have pulled me off of him right then and there , i might have killed him . instead ... marlena : instead what ? is there something you are trying to tell me ? hope : julie , i know that nick was pointing to someone after he collapsed , but the problem is ... no one can tell me who he was pointing at . of course ... it 's gon na take time to question everyone . ben : [ sighs ] it 's like i keep making things worse . do you want me to just go ? abigail : no . no , please , do n't go . stay with me . it 's not you . it 's just -- i just do n't know how i 'm ever gon na forgive myself for what happened to nick . ben : you 're too hard on yourself . you 're a good person . abigail : no , i 'm not . ben : yes , you are . look , i know we have n't known each other that long , but i already know that you 're an amazing person with a really kind heart . i 've never met anyone like you . nicole : daniel , i ca n't tell eric . we 're gon na be married . daniel : which is even more reason to come clean . do you want your whole marriage to be based on a lie ? nicole : it wo n't be . it 'll be based on love . daniel : no , we 're not negotiating this . either you tell eric what you 've done , or i will . nicole : no , you ca n't do this . i wo n't let you . daniel : no , nicole . nicole !
daniel wanted nicole to come clean . will asked marlena what nick said when he called her . hope wanted to know why will was at the station . he wanted to talk to hope . will told hope that he threatened to kill nick before he died . ej met abby at the park . abby suspected ej of having nick killed . nicole tried to act as if she was happy that daniel had the proof that could clear eric , but he did n't believe her . hope questioned will about why he threatened to kill nick . he told her that nick tried to take his daughter away from him . he denied killing nick . she asked what he did around the time nick was murdered . abby yelled at ej for killing nick . nicole denied seeing the papers , but he did n't believe her . he told her where he found them . daniel realized that liam blackmailed her with the evidence . will told hope his alibi for when nick was killed . he denied killing nick again . ej denied killing nick , but abby did n't believe him . daniel wanted to know what chyka did to keep nicole quiet . nicole tried to say that stefano and kristen framed her .
<s>[INST] hope : he wanted to change , and someone took that opportunity away from him . maybe that call will help us find whoever did that . will : sorry . i did n't mean to interrupt . rafe : what were you saying about nick 's last words ? marlena : nick left me a voice message last night ... rafe : huh . marlena : just as he was being shot . jordan : i barely knew him , but the way he came walking into the square covered in blood ... i had nightmares last night . ben : well , if you had known him , you 'd probably feel a whole lot better about the whole thing . jordan : ben ! ben : come on . someone shot and killed nick fallon last night , and except for those two aunts or whatever , no one else cared . jordan : including his cousin abigail ? ej : abigail . daniel : why do n't you explain this , nicole ? nicole : uh , i do n't -- i do n't know what you 're talking about . daniel : oh , i think you do . and it 's time for you to come clean . will : nick called you ? what did he say ? marlena : he was reaching out . he was asking about counseling . will : [ chuckles ] what ? rafe : yeah , or pretending to . hope : will , what are you doing here ? will : i needed to talk to you about something . hope : okay . rafe : do you want me to stay ? will : no , i 'll be okay . thanks . rafe : all right . marlena , good to see you . marlena : yes , you too , rafe . are you okay ? will : sure . marlena : call me as soon as you 're done . promise ? okay . hope : so , will ... what did you want to talk to me about ? will : it 's about nick . um ... right before he was shot , i ... threatened to kill him . ej : look , i really wanted to check in , you know , but ... abigail : but you did n't quite know how to explain checking in with me to your fiancée ? ej : well , yeah . and you were with that -- you know , that nice chap . it looked like you were well taken care of . abigail : [ scoffs ] oh , so -- so no worries , then , right ? ej : hey , i think you 're in shock . abigail : no , i - i was in shock . i was in shock ... but i should n't have been . god , i should 've known by now . i should 've wised up and faced the facts . ej : what facts exactly ? abigail : the facts of who you are and the things that you do , the fact that as soon as nick let you know he knew about us , he was as good as dead . [ telephone ringing ] jennifer : oh . hmm . that must be daniel , but he usually calls my cell . hold on . hello ? oh , caroline , hi . yeah . yeah , it is sad about nick . well , thank you very much . that is so kind of you . caroline , that is not true . are you forgetting that nick let you take the fall for a crime that he committed ? come on . listen , and when he got out of prison , you gave him a job . you gave him a place to stay . you were so generous to him . listen , you want to talk to eric ? he 's here with me . yeah , hold on . eric : hey , grandma . yeah , i 'm glad you called . i was gon na call you later , actually . grandma , please . do n't do this to yourself . come on , you did everything you could for nick . yes , everything you could . nicole : i told you , i do n't know what you 're talking about . i do n't -- i do n't know what these are . daniel : you barely looked at them , nicole . look at them . nicole : okay . all right . oh , my god . this proves that chyka gave kristen the drugs to seduce eric . this clears his name . daniel : yeah , that 's right . that 's exactly what it does . nicole : i do n't know where you found these , but thank god you did . daniel : really ? really ? `` thank god `` ? nicole : of course . daniel : so you 're saying -- you 're saying you 've never seen these before ... and you 're glad that we have them now . nicole : yes , of course i am . i mean , if i had seen these , i would have shown them to eric . i would have told him . in fact , you know what ? i 'm gon na do that right now . daniel : nicole , stop . for your own sake , just stop . marlena : rafe ? rafe : yeah . marlena : hi . do you have a minute ? rafe : yeah , sure . marlena : well , um , i wanted to ask , is -- is will in a lot of trouble ? rafe : no , no , no . everything 's gon na be fine . but i will let him fill you in on the details , okay ? marlena : sure . rafe : by the way , have you seen allie ? 'cause she was pretty shaken up after last night . marlena : yes , lucas is taking her to see a colleague of mine . rafe : good . glad to hear . i actually think my sister should see someone as well . marlena : well , i 'd be glad to give you a name . rafe : marlena ? marlena : hmm ? rafe : i was hoping that you could check up on her , if it 's not too much to ask . i do n't know if she 'll talk to a stranger . i 'm really worried about her . marlena : it is not too much to ask . rafe : oh , good . marlena : she 's like family to me . i 'm -- i 'm glad to help . rafe : thank you . thanks . it 's just that he , uh ... nick did quite a number on her before he died , and , um ... i 'm just glad that he 's not around to hurt my sister anymore or will or ari or anyone , for that matter . whoever killed him did us all a favor . marlena : it sounds like you think he deserved to die . hope : interviewing william horton , my office . william ... you just stated that you threatened to kill nick fallon . can you tell me why ? will : w - we were fighting . hope : a physical fight ? will : i started it , but we were both throwing punches when rafe broke it up . hope : detective hernandez . will : that 's right . hope : okay , so , again , i 'll ask you ... what were you arguing about ? will : well , it -- it was what sonny and i had told you before . nick had convinced gabi to draw up a custody agreement , and in it , it stated that i would only be able to visit arianna every other weekend . he was trying to take my daughter from me ... again . he said that i was unfit to be a father . so i punched him . but i did n't kill him . hope : i have to ask . where were you last night at 8 : 45 p.m. ? will : is that -- hope : that 's when nick was shot . ej : look , um ... i know you 're upset , obviously , but you really just need to calm down . abigail : `` calm down `` ? you want me to calm down ? ej : i think you 're overreacting . abigail : `` overreacting `` ? you think that i 'm overreacting ? i stood there in my mother 's office when you told me that -- that i had to keep my mouth shut , that i could n't tell her the truth , and -- ej : are n't you glad you did n't say anything now ? abigail : you swore to me that nick could be reasoned with , that you would convince him that he should n't say anything about us . ej : okay , do me a favor . keep your voice down . abigail : you promised me that our secret would stay secret . you really kept your promise , did n't you ? nicole : daniel ? daniel ! why are you talking to me like this ? why are you looking at me like -- i have never seen these papers before in my life . daniel : well , i am looking at you like you 're lying . nicole : why ? what ? no . i 'm confused ... upset , hurt . i have no idea where these papers came from . daniel : well , i went on to smith island to look for jennifer 's necklace . while i was searching in the woods , i found them there . nicole : smith island ? that -- this does n't make any sense . daniel : oh , i think it does . see , at first , i thought you lost them there . but then i started thinking about how weird you were with liam . you said you were investigating him because he drugged me . nicole : he did drug you , and you know it , and he was crazy and obsessed about jennifer . daniel : no , no , no , you were right about him . but in spite of all of your excuses , i never really understood why you did n't tell me that you suspected him , but then i realized he had something on you . yeah , he had these on you . yeah ? he blackmailed you to keep you quiet . nicole : no , no , no . you 've got it all wrong . daniel : do i ? well , what about that paper that i found in your hotel months ago , the one that was taped back together because it had been shredded , kind of like this one right here ? you said you thought it came from stefano to mess with eric 's head , but that was n't true , because all along , you had evidence to prove eric 's innocence , and you did n't say a single word ? will : i 'm not sure exactly where i was at that time . i - i know that i was returning a book at the library . hope : which library ? will : salem u . hope : where 'd you go from there ? will : straight to the town square . hope : any stops along the way ? will : no . hope : were you alone ? will : yes . hope : did anyone see you ? will : not anybody that i know . i was on campus . there 's -- hope : do you own or have access to a gun ? will : no . i mean -- hope : you mean what ? will : i mean , i know people . hope : will , did you have a gun last night in your possession ? will : no . i did n't kill nick , hope . i did n't . hope : okay . that 's it for now . thank you for coming in . you saved me a call . i 'm sure sonny told you that i 'll be questioning everyone in the square last night . will : you talked to sonny ? he was here ? hope : i did . will : i did n't know that . i 'm telling you the truth . you do believe me , do n't you ? hope : will , the reality is , right now ... i ca n't rule out anyone as a suspect . ben : she -- she was in shock , just numb . it looked like she did n't care , but she did . jordan : i 'm not judging . i 'm just making an observation . i like abigail . she 's my friend . looks like you like her too . ben : she 's nice . jordan : so last night at the hospital -- i did n't know you two were so close . ben : we 've talked before . look , i - i walked in on her and nick . he was being a real jerk , like he was out to upset her . jordan : and you stood up for her , did n't you ? tell me , galahad , did you get into a fight with him ? ben : i just stood up for her . jordan : right . ben , do you still have that gun ? ej : abigail ... you know how many enemies nick had . abigail : yes , i do . a lot of people had motive , ej , but you had something different , did n't you ? your daddy 's contact list . god , it is so like you to do this , to handle things so professionally . ej : that 's not how it happened . abigail : no , it 's not . but what happened , i know . what happened is that nick threatened you , and then he ended up eliminated . and the way that he died had dimera written all over it . [ gasps ] ej : abigail ... you know me . i swear to you ... i would never do that to nick . i swear to you . okay ? okay ? okay , good . abigail : i do -- i do know you . i know you very well . and i know ... that you are a world - class liar . ej : yes , i am . nicole : why would i track down chyka ? why would i risk my life to find that proof and then not show eric when i found it ? daniel : okay , as i said before , i think you meant it at the time . but obviously something changed . so what happened when i left with stefano 's thug , when you were alone there with chyka ? did he offer you evidence in exchange for his freedom ? nicole : no . i swear to you , he overpowered me . daniel : well , then you must have gotten the evidence after he left . nicole : daniel , you have to listen to me , okay ? i - i - i do n't know what this is . i do n't know where these papers came from , okay ? i mean , maybe ... wait a minute . stefano , maybe -- maybe he was behind this ... and kristen . they 're trying to frame me . daniel : a conspiracy , huh ? nicole : yes . it 's the only explanation . i would never betray eric . i mean , please , you have to stop with these horrible accusations , daniel , for the sake of our friendship . why ca n't you believe me ? rafe : ah , i would n't say that nick deserved to die . it 's just that the guy ... well , he just went around sticking his thumb in people 's eyes . the way he treated will -- marlena : the way he treated will ? is that why will wanted to see hope ? rafe : like i said , i 'll let him fill you in on the details . marlena : i guess we ca n't ignore the fact that will had a very strong motive . rafe : well , he was n't the only one . i spent half a year in a damn hospital bed because a guy thought i was nick and tried to beat me to death . the day that guy got out of jail , he hated nick so much , he came back to town to exact revenge . i just get the feeling that nick had that effect on a whole hell of a lot of people . marlena : you mean prisoners , or you mean people of salem ? rafe : i do n't know . and i do n't really care . i 'm just glad he 's out of my sister 's life for good . ben : so you really think i shot that guy last night . jordan : no , i do n't think that , and i did n't say that . but i want to know about that gun , because if the police find out about it -- ben : jordan , you know why i have that gun . jordan : yeah , and i also know you do n't have a permit for it . and if anyone finds out , it 's gon na raise a lot of questions that wo n't be good for either one of us . ben : then let 's make sure that no one does find out about it . jordan : just please be careful , okay ? not just for my sake , but for yours . hope : yeah , these photos are pretty revealing . you 've been very helpful . thank you . [ knock at door ] hope : ej . have a seat . thanks for coming in . your attorney meeting you here ? ej : if this is about last night , i do n't really feel i need my attorney here . hope : consider yourself advised . ej : [ laughs ] yes , thank you , detective . i know my rights . hope : this is for the record . interviewing ej dimera , may 15 , 2014 , my office . well , ej , i have recently received some very interesting photos of you and my cousin , and i 'm hoping you can explain them . jennifer : eric , i lost that horton thing -- that thing that is so important to my grandmother ... that no matter what you 're going through , you do n't lose track of your family . and i lost track of nick . eric : did he ever ask something of you , and you turned him down ? i mean , did he ever try reaching out , and you turned your back on him ? jennifer : no , but i 'm the grown - up . i should have reached out to him . eric : and he 's a grown - up too . he made a lot of terrible , terrible choices , and he did n't have any regard for anybody else 's feelings about them . jennifer : that does n't sound very priestlike . eric : god does say forgive . so forgive nick . forgive yourself . you had a lot on your plate . jennifer : yeah , i 'll try . thank you for listening . i mean , as you can imagine , with what nick did to melanie , it 's not easy to have a conversation with daniel about him . daniel : i really do want to believe you , but i ca n't . nicole : why ? i thought you were my friend . daniel : damn it , i am your friend , and as your friend , i know you . i know you want to admit the truth . nicole : i 'm telling you the truth . daniel : you have been lying . nicole : no . daniel : for months , you have been lying . remember when you came back here with that bag of shredded paper , and you would n't even let me touch it . you had just shredded those papers , had n't you ? nicole : if i shredded them , why in the hell would i have saved them ? daniel : because as i 'd said before , you knew what you 'd done wrong . you told me that those papers could save somebody , and you , you were talking about eric . you realized what you had done to him , his future , his soul -- what you had done to the man you loved . nicole : please stop it . daniel : you shredded the papers . you put 'em back together . and a good person ... does that for the person they love . and that 's why you kept having the impulse to tell me . you tried . you 'd do it , then you 'd back off , and you wanted to do it again , because you wanted to tell me , because it is eating away at you , and it still is . so please just tell me the truth . tell me ! nicole : [ whimpers ] [ crying ] okay . okay , it 's true . all of it is true . i could 've cleared eric , and i did n't . that 's -- [ sobbing ] that 's what i did to the best man that i 've ever known . i 'm sorry . unwrap your paradise . jordan : [ gasps ] rafe : hey . jordan : hey . what are you doing here ? what 's with the flowers ? rafe : well , those flowers are about last night . thank you for being so nice to gabi . jordan : oh , i did n't do anything . rafe : you did . jordan : poor gabi . do you have any idea who did it ? rafe : no . no , hope 's questioning everyone who was in the square last night , but , um , no real leads . jordan : well , i know you took yourself off the case , but ... rafe : but what ? jordan : rafe , who do you think killed nick ? abigail : i - i just ... i just wanted to say thank you for last night . you were really sweet . ben : how you doing today ? abigail : a little , um , numb and a little shaky , but ... okay , i 'm -- i 'm lying . i - i 'm in definite caffeine withdrawals . ben : well , you know i can help you with that . there you go . abigail : thank you . [ sighs ] ben : you 're not okay . abigail : [ sighs , chuckles ] [ sighs ] hope : you do n't seem too anxious to turn those over , ej . ej : [ sighs ] [ sighs ] it just looks like nick fallon leaving his office . hope : it was taken by mad world security cameras . nick looks upset , do n't you think ? take a look at the next one . that 's you leaving his office about a half minute later . you also look upset , one might even say angry . ej : mm - hmm . what is your point , detective ? hope : my point ... these photos were taken the day that nick fallon was murdered . now , of course , on one hand , it could be a coincidence . ej : mm - hmm , and on the other hand ? hope : and on the other hand , you may want to rethink having your attorney present after all . daniel : why did n't you tell eric ? nicole : i meant to . i swear it . i meant to . after chyka escaped , i - i found the evidence in his safe . i was so happy . i - i rushed back to salem , and eric came over , and i was gon na give him the documents . daniel : and ? eric : and then he told me ... he told me he left the priesthood to be with me . do you have any idea how long i 've been waiting to hear that ? and i just -- i could n't -- i could n't do it . i mean , it was ... i kept telling myself -- i kept telling myself , `` you have to give him the papers , `` and i could n't . i - i just could n't . i know it was so selfish . but i told myself , `` he 's already made the decision , so what difference does it make ? `` daniel : the difference would be that eric could prove to everyone -- the church , his parishioners , his family -- that kristen raped him . nicole ... it changes everything . nicole : i know . that 's what i was afraid of . me ? dramatic ? no . daniel : how did liam get a hold of these papers ? nicole : you had said that this was eating at me . and it was . it was -- it was driving me crazy , and , you know , one time , i was gon na undo everything . i mean , i got the papers , and i was putting them together , but it was so frustrating . it was awful work , and the whole time i was doing that , i just kept hearing this voice saying , `` you 're never gon na give eric these papers . you could lose him . `` daniel : liam ? nicole : hope told me that chyka 's case was closed ... and i was -- i was still crazy , and so i ... i took the papers that i had shredded that night to this rest stop , and i was going to burn them , and that 's when liam showed up . daniel : he followed you . nicole : i guess so . i did n't even know who he was . he told me he was a fan , and he had seen me on tv . i men , he must have followed me ... because he -- i mean , i was figuring out what he was doing to you and jennifer . daniel : and blackmailed you with these . he blackmailed you -- well , he blackmailed you into not telling me or jennifer the name of the man who was out to ruin our lives . nicole : daniel , if anything happened to either one of you , i would never have forgiven myself . daniel : okay , wait a minute . you shot liam . was that to keep him quiet ? nicole : no . no , daniel , i was trying to save your life . do you have any idea how much you mean to me ? you 're my best friend in the whole world , and now you hate me , and you 're never gon na forgive me , and why should you ? daniel : you 're wrong , nicole . i do forgive you . eric : see , the thing is , is that i have n't told my mom or sami about the engagement yet . jennifer : okay , so are you asking me to help you smooth the waters a little bit ? eric : i was thinking you could tell them . tell them that nicole is changed . she 's not the person she was . jennifer : no , you 're right . i mean , i 'll do what i can . and my words may hold some weight , you know ? nicole and i -- we have a past , but we are great friends now . eric : right , because the only reason nicole was like that was because she was unhappy , but that -- that 's changed . jennifer : i know it 's changed . i have never seen her as happy as she is today . eric : me too . jennifer : right , so why are we sitting here talking about this , because the two of you have so much to celebrate , and we need to get out of here right now . eric : [ laughs ] marlena : and you know that rafe was right . it 's good that you went straight to hope and told her what happened with nick . will : it ended up with me being interviewed on tape . marlena : that 's her job . she will interview everybody involved with the case . well , not everyone involved in the case threatened to kill him . marlena : he was threatening you too . look , the two of you did n't get along , and it only got worse -- will : did n't get along ? i hated him . i 'm glad he 's dead . abigail : i hate that you 're using your break time to keep me from falling apart . ben : even though you had what seemed to be a pretty intense relationship with him , your cousin was murdered last night . i - i just -- i think you could use a friend . abigail : you were ... you were right last night . i do feel guilty . ben : i think it 's just hard because of the way things ended between the two of you . abigail : [ sighs ] oh , god . i wish that -- oh , i should 've ... i should 've tried harder to work things out with him , you know ? maybe if i would 've just kept my cool , then none of this would have ever happened . ben : it 's not your fault , abigail . nick 's murder had nothing to do with you . abigail : no ? because i 'm not so sure . ej : those photographs do n't prove anything . you must really be desperate . hope : just tell me what you and nick were arguing about and stop wasting my time . ej : look , who says nick and i were arguing ?

did you really think that i would just forgive you for what you did to me ? stefano : i was led to believe that you were not my son . ej : spare me . you were so consumed with your own wounded vanity that you sold your son for what , a cheap trinket and some empty words ?

daniel : hey , father eric . hey . sami : oh , well , thanks for coming so quickly . eric : i told sami this was not necessary . daniel : no , it 's okay . i wanted to talk to you anyway . sami : well , you should have seen him earlier . he was shaking . he almost passed out . i mean , do you know what it could be that 's wrong with him ? daniel : okay , i have your test results back . and we are about to find out . kayla : look , theresa , i do n't want us to get off on the wrong foot , all right ? but given the trouble that you 've been in , i just do n't really think that you 're in the position to tell me what you will or will not stand for . theresa : so you 're lining up with mom . because you know what ? i 'm not a teenager anymore , okay ? i do n't need to live in one of those rooms that grandma rents out over the pub so you guys can keep an eye on me . kayla : well , good . then you better hang on to this job , so you can find an apartment and pay rent in a place that you like . theresa : i will . kayla : good . and you can start by correcting this bad impression that you made with jennifer , and making things work here with everybody . 'cause you know what i think ? this is probably your last chance . jennifer : daniel and i are taking a break . it was -- it was my idea . kristen : ugh , i 'm so sorry . jennifer : yeah , thank you . kristen : so you do n't want to talk about it , i can tell . jennifer : no , i do n't , really . do n't take it personally . kristen : okay . you 're such a good person . i 'm so sorry . jennifer : oh , gosh , kristen , i really do n't know about that . kristen : oh , you are , and if you do n't have happiness with daniel , i hope you get it with somebody else , because you deserve it . jennifer : you know what ? i want you to be happy . kristen : [ laughing ] jennifer : and i am sorry about what happened with you and brady because i know that you truly loved him . kristen : do n't worry about me . i 've moved on . jennifer : already ? kristen : well , i had to . i did n't have a choice . daniel : i got the results back from all the blood work that we did . sami : you said that already . eric : just let him talk , sami . sami : sorry . daniel : well , i did what 's called a tox screen . i 'm not exactly sure how to interpret the results , so i called one of the area 's leading toxicologists . sami : a toxicologist ? you think that he was poisoned ? daniel : well , it 's a definite possibility . sami : but my brother needs more than just possibilities . eric : okay , sami . sami : he needs answers . you have to tell me what has happened since he got sick . eric : sami , back off . sami : every single detail . no , i 'm not gon na back off . you wo n't tell me . you have to explain to me . you should have seen him . he was shaking . i could barely hold him up . eric : but it 's over , and i feel fine now . daniel : well , maybe the effects of whatever it is are subsiding . sami : `` whatever it is `` ? daniel : okay , i am gon na hold off on drawing conclusions until i talk to a specialist . i faxed over the results . they 're studying them now , okay ? sami : so , once again , we are just dealing in theories here . eric : whoa , `` once again `` ? daniel : okay , now , yeah , sami is a little angry with me 'cause i asked her to leave rafe 's room because her presence agitates him . sami : [ scoffs ] eric : gee , i wonder why . sami : oh , that is not fair . look , i care about you , and i care about rafe , and i am not gon na apologize for that . eric : you know what ? i 'd like you to leave . sami : what ? eric : yes , i 'm tired of sharing my information about ... sami : eric ! eric : this with you . sami : but i -- eric : listen , that 's it . i mean it , just go . sami : well , you may have kicked me out of your office , but you are still my brother , and i am going to make sure you are okay , whether you like it or not . stefano : [ chuckles ] samantha pushed you into doing this , did n't she , huh ? keep me away from my grandchildren ? ej : samantha has no idea what i 've done . but she 'll be very happy when she finds out , after all the things you 've done to her . stefano : i have done nothing . ej : well , let 's put aside the 20 years of brutality and misery that you have brought upon her and her family . when you found out the woman that you did n't want did n't want you , you sent your little snitch bernardi to the hospital to try and kill rafe . unfortunately , samantha was already in that room , and she killed him before he had a chance to carry out your orders . stefano : and it means nothing at all to you that she 's willing to go through all of this to save hernandez ? ej : if she had been indicted by that grand jury , she would have spent the rest of her life in prison . but that did n't matter to you , did it ? your precious grandchildren would have grown up without their mother ! that did n't matter to you , did it ? you were only interested in saving your hide . and when things got a little bit tough , you crawled out of town , and you did n't dare come back here until myself and others had cleaned up your mess . kayla : i was just telling theresa how kind you were to give her this job , and she 's gon na work really hard so that you do n't regret doing that . she 's really grateful to you , jenn . so am i . jennifer : can i ask you why you were at my house with my son the night before last ? theresa : well , i 'd just gotten back to salem , and , um -- well , i have n't been here for a while -- not since i was a little kid -- and so much has changed , you know ? and i got lost . happens to me a lot . so , i saw your house , and it looked familiar , so i walked up to the door and knocked , and jj answered , and , um -- you know , really , i was just asking for directions . jennifer : hmm . okay . that 's fine . theresa : mm - hmm . jennifer : i guess i should show you around the hospital . theresa : great ! jennifer : let me just tell you something first . the reason i 'm doing this is because your aunt kayla and your uncle bo are very dear to me . the entire brady family is very dear to me . so i 'm happy that you 're here , and i really want this to work out ... theresa : but ? jennifer : but i 'm gon na buy you a map of salem , and i 'm gon na bring it in tomorrow . so if you get lost again , do n't show up at my house uninvited . theresa : well , guess you 're gon na have to buy me a map of the hospital , too , even after the tour . this is a really big place . sami : hey ! hi ! i 'm so glad you 're here . jennifer : hi -- sami : oh , my god , jeannie ! hi ! oh , uh , theresa , right ? theresa : huh , yeah . sami : theresa now ? yeah , hey , it 's so good to see you ! aunt kim told me that you were gon na come to visit . how are you ? ej : what 's the matter ? cat got your tongue ? you 're usually so wonderfully verbal . stefano : what is there to say ? [ door opens ] kristen : well , hello . you 're home . mm . so ... what 's going on ? ej : father was just about to pack a bag ... collect the lovely cecily , and get out of this house . kristen : you 're leaving ? but you just got home . ej : it 's no longer his house . it 's mine . see , in a wonderfully shrewd business move , father made one of his companies the owner of the deed on this house . and since he no longer owns the company , he no longer has a right to be in the house . kristen : is this true ? stefano : i would n't dream of sleeping here . when the time comes , i will get in touch with you . kristen : what have you done ? eric : it came on in a few seconds . it lasted a minute or two , and then it was over . daniel : well , thank , uh ... thank goodness . you 're lucky you were n't at the wheel . eric : true . daniel : i want to admit you for observation ... eric : no , i ca n't go to the hospital . daniel : just to be on the safe side . eric : i ca n't go to the hospital now . daniel : what is it , new school ? eric : no , it 's too important to the parish . i have a million things to do . daniel : okay , you are important to the parish . eric : what if i promise to take cabs ? daniel : oh , okay , okay . all right , well , just to be on the safe side , i want to draw some blood . eric : yeah , sure . daniel : okay ? run those tests again . eric : whatever you say . daniel : all right . i mean , the results from the blood already taken should tell us what we need , but , you know , the toxins in your system should be working their way through it . but based on this episode , they seem to be still in there . eric : do you think the specialist will know what it is when they see it ? daniel : well , my friend , i 'm banking on it . kristen : what have you done to father ? ej : i have taken everything he holds dear , from dimera enterprises down to this humble little house . and that is going to be the first thing to go . kristen : you said you wanted us to be a real family . ej : [ whispers ] i lied . kristen : so me coming back here and working so hard to get you and stefano together was just all for nothing ? really ? kristen : so you never really forgave father ? ej : never . kristen : huh . and everything i thought was real was just a lie ? ej : [ sighs ] i know such mendacity must be awfully troubling for a truth - teller like yourself . kristen : i 'm trying to understand , ej . ej : mm - hmm . that would be wise . kristen : i do know that when you love somebody , or when you 're trying to love somebody , you know , if they hurt you , that it 's next to impossible just to forgive and forget . ej : my sentiments exactly . i knew that you 'd come around to my way of thinking . kristen : uh - huh . so , if they hurt you , you do n't have any choice but to hurt them back . ej : precisely . daniel : yeah , why do n't you just get some rest and take it easy for a while , okay ? eric : why do n't you let me pay back this house call by telling me what 's bothering you ? daniel : [ chuckles ] what , you 'll be my spiritual advisor or something ? eric : you have your specialty and i have mine . daniel : well , not really much to tell . i just thought jennifer and i , we could make it through anything , but turns out i was wrong . sami : i can not believe how grown up you are . of course , all i 've seen of you are christmas pictures since you decided to not be called jeannie anymore . how long are you in town for ? theresa : oh , nobody told you ? sami : uh , i guess i 've just been very busy . theresa : [ laughs ] well , yeah , i just thought it would be really cool to come back , you know , to my roots . sami : good for you . theresa : [ chuckles ] and i 'm working for jennifer now . sami : really ? jennifer : yes . she starts today . sami : huh , well , lucky for you , 'cause she is the best boss over . theresa : she totally is . jj : so her name is theresa donovan , and she used to be called jeannie . do n't need your password , mom . i 've got my own .

[ sighs ] sami : huh . well , well , well . something about her just , i do n't know , kind of reminds me of myself when i was her age . just ca n't quite put my finger on it . ej : so after your experience with marlena , i expect you understand what i 'm going through with father . kristen : he 's not gon na take it lying down . are you ready to go to war ? ej : absolutely . kristen : i 've been on the receiving end of his wrath . it 's not much fun . he tried to destroy me , and he 's gon na want to do the same to you . ej : i 'm ready . see , my question is , whose side are you going to be on ? jj : hi . theresa : i got your facebook message . jj : uh , how did you ditch my mom ? theresa : oh , my cousin sami stopped by the office , so i took a powder . jj : a what ? theresa : i took off , split . jj : oh , okay . theresa : i thought you said you watched a lot of movies . jj : um , yeah , uh ... do you want to come in ? theresa : [ scoffs ] not so much . your mom made it pretty clear that your house is off - limits . afraid she 's gon na dust it for fingerprints when she gets home tonight . jj : [ chuckles ] welcome to my world . theresa : she thinks i 'm at human resources getting my i.d . picture taken , and she 's got a list of things for me to do when i get back . jj : hmm , so you took a big risk coming here . theresa : so did you . i 'm what 's known as a bad influence . jj : what do you want ? theresa : oh , come on . i think you know . jj : [ chuckles ] sami : i ca n't believe how , um , grown up theresa is , right ? i guess i should n't be that surprised . she is a lot older than will . jennifer : um , listen , sami . i know that you came here for a reason . i 'm just -- i 'm so busy right now . sami : oh , yes , i did , actually , yes . i am here 'cause , uh , i 'm in sort of the middle of a gray area , and i really need to talk to you about getting some information about a patient . jennifer : sami , you know i ca n't give you information about a patient ! sami : you did n't give me a chance to finish . this is my brother we 're talking about . it 's eric , and it 's really important to me to find out what 's going on with him . and daniel is treating him , so i though that -- jennifer : sami , wait a minute . there is nothing gray about this area . a patient 's right to confidentiality is written down in the law . daniel would never discuss another patient with me . and even if he did , i could n't pass that information along . i ca n't do that . sami : okay , so you 've had the chance to cover your rear end . this is really important . this is my brother we 're talking about , and there 's something wrong with him and i want to find out what it is . i 'm his immediate family . maybe daniel just happened to casually mention something to you about -- jennifer : no , actually , he did n't . i did n't even know he was treating eric . sami : really ? jennifer : yeah , really . so , i suggest if you want to know something about your brother , you should just ask him . and if you 'll excuse me , i have so much work to do , sami . sami : of course . i 'm sorry , jennifer . kristen : oh , ej . it 's such a difficult question . i love both you and stefano so , so much . ej : which is code for you will support whoever comes out on top . kristen : sorry . ej : it 's okay . i would n't have expected anything else .

[ laughs ] i 've known jennifer all my life , and i think you are what she 's been waiting for , too . ej : look , i may not like jonas either , but he does seem to be a good doctor , so , i 'm sure he wo n't stop until he finds out what 's wrong with eric . sami : i hope so . ej : are you on your way home ? sami : why ? you need me ? ej : always . but do n't worry , everything is under control here . sami : okay , well , then i 'll be home later . love you . ej : i love you , too . kristen : so sami does n't know what you 've done to father . ej : not yet , no . kristen : interesting . well , i 'm gon na leave you two to celebrate your victory . i just hope you have enough peace of mind to enjoy it ... while it lasts . ej : i took a big risk . one that paid off handsomely . kristen : good for you . does n't get any better than that . ciao . dr. chyka , please . i do n't care who he 's with . tell him that kristen dimera is calling . dr. chyka , i need to see you right now . i 'll be in the horton town square in ten minutes . be there ! bacon ? !

'cause you 're an idiot ! are n't you ? eric : in the name of the father and the s - son ... and the holy spirit . amen . heavenly father , thank you . thank you for helping me try to fight this . thank you for helping dr. jonas find the answers to this . daniel : what the hell ? sami : jonas has no idea what he 's talking about . [ sighs ] i did n't upset rafe . i mean , how could i ? maybe ... maybe he just wanted to tell me something , and he could n't because daniel was there . well , he 's not there now , is he ? nobody is . ej : ah ! you 'll let harold know where to send your things . stefano : the day will come when you are on your hands and knees before me , begging me to take back what you have stolen here .

[ giggles ] kayla : get off the desk . jennifer : if you 'll excuse me , i need to have a talk with my son . theresa : oh , yeah , take your time . i 'll handle things here . bye , jj . it 's good seeing you again . jj : yeah , bye . kayla : you wan na tell me what you think you 're doing ? stefano : [ sighs ] dimera enterprises . it is yours . ej : down to the last junk bond . i 've been planning this ever since you came back to salem . stefano : you judas . ej : it sucks to be on the receiving end of this sort of thing , does n't it ? did you really think that i would just forgive you for what you did to me ? stefano : i was led to believe that you were not my son . ej : spare me . you were so consumed with your own wounded vanity that you sold your son for what , a cheap trinket and some empty words ? stefano : i was in torment . ej : you can rewrite your own history , old man . do n't rewrite mine . stefano : look , i admitted my mistake . you said that you forgave me . ej : you always taught me ... keep your enemies close . stefano : hmm . so then ... everything since that time , that moment , has been a lie ?

what , are you okay now ? what hap -- what happened ? the shakes , they 're over ? eric , just tell me what the hell that was . eric : sami , believe me ... if i knew , i 'd tell you . it 's usually when i want to wear my favorite dress eric : i do n't know , whatever was going on before ... it just feels like it 's gone dormant or something . but it 's not gone . i mean , i feel fine for a while , and then it just comes back . sami : so this has happened before ? eric : yeah , it 's the second time . sami : what ? eric : it does n't feel as bad as it did the first time . maybe it 's going away . sami : i asked you yesterday , and you said you were feeling fine . eric : yeah , but that was -- that was yesterday . sami , what are you doing ? sami : i 'm calling mom . eric : no , you 're not . sami : why not ? eric : because i have a school that 's being consecrated tomorrow . i have a million things to do , and i do n't want anybody hovering over me . please . sami : but you can not will this away . you can not pray it away . you need to see a doctor . eric : i - i did . dr. jonas , he 's running a million tests on me right now . sami : well , good . did he tell you what he thinks it is ? eric : no , he 's just trying to tell me what it is n't . he -- he said that i just may never know what it is . sami : what ? what kind of answer is that ? eric : sami , please -- sami : what kind of doctor does daniel jonas think that he is ? stefano : this , from my own son ? ej : i spent my entire life trying to be your son . but in the end ... it did n't really matter . because i did n't have the right dna . stefano : i loved you . ej : you use that word like a bludgeon to hurt the people closest to you . stefano : what people ? ej : your love killed alexandra , killed tony , ruined kate 's life . stefano : uh - huh , so now you 're on her side , is that it ? ej : let us just say that i have a new understanding of her situation after you did exactly the same thing to her that you did to me . stefano : she betrayed me . ej : after you led her to believe that you were chasing marlena . what did you expect her to do ? you dumped her . did you want her to spend the rest of her life grieving over the loss of your love ? stefano : so you understand what she did with hernandez ? ej : let 's not talk about my reaction , father . let 's talk about yours . stefano : i do n't know what the hell you are talking about . ej : when kate inadvertently told you about her little dalliance with rafe , you went mad . the tiny bit of testosterone that you have left started to run your life . you lost sight of things that matter . companies . i owe kate a debt of gratitude . she made life very easy for me . stefano : i will make you pay for what you have done to me . ej : actually , i do n't think that you will . the phoenix is not going to rise again , father . theresa : i do n't know what you 're getting so worked up about . kayla : jennifer horton is one of my best friends . i asked her to do me a favor and give my niece a job as her assistant . she kindly agreed . i walk in here , and you 're treating her like she 's stupid . theresa : i was not doing that . now , i met her and jj a couple nights ago , and she treated me like a stranger . kayla : she has a lot on her mind . you know , kimberly asked roman and me and the rest of the family to keep an eye on you . theresa : my mother should give it a rest . kayla : look , jeannie -- theresa : look , i told you , i use my middle name now . it 's theresa , okay ? like the saint . kayla : okay . fine , theresa . people like jennifer are going out of their way to give you a fresh start . and i walk in here and see you only giving back attitude . theresa : are you going to be just like mom ? kayla : what is that supposed to mean ? theresa : she 's all over everything i do , and you know what ? i 'm not gon na take it anymore . jennifer : you want to tell me about all of that ? jj : all what ? jennifer : why you 're alone in my office with theresa . jj : mom , she did n't tell me anything . mom , i was just as blown away as you were . i did n't know she was kayla 's niece either . jennifer : okay , if you did n't know that she was kayla 's niece , then what was she doing in our house ? you never explained that to me . jj : god , because it does n't matter what i tell you . you 're not gon na believe me anyway . kristen : hi , jenn . jennifer : hey ! uh , oh , this is jj , my son . jj , this is kristen dimera . jj : hi . kristen : wow , you 're all grown up . jj : i 'm glad somebody thinks so . kristen : see , you talk about him like he 's a little boy . jj : [ chuckles ] tell me about it . just so you know , when the school calls to tell you that i 'm missing english class , it 's because i was getting a lecture from you . jennifer : okay , well , then i expect you to go straight home and call someone to get the notes that you 're missing , and do n't think i 'm not gon na check up on you . jj : i 'm used to that . kristen : oh ... jennifer : sorry you had to witness that . kristen : no , do n't apologize . i 'm really sorry that i gave him ammunition to use against you . that was not good . jennifer : oh , do n't worry . he can find it all on his own . kristen : what 's going on ? is he having a hard time adapting to life in salem ? jennifer : i do n't know . i do n't know if it 's life in salem or if it 's life with me . kristen : [ clicks mouth ] well , let 's talk about something happier . how are you and daniel doing ? daniel : hey , father eric . hey . sami : oh , well , thanks for coming so quickly . eric : i told sami this was not necessary . daniel : no , it 's okay . i wanted to talk to you anyway . sami : well , you should have seen him earlier . he was shaking . he almost passed out . i mean , do you know what it could be that 's wrong with him ? daniel : okay , i have your test results back . and we are about to find out . kayla : look , theresa , i do n't want us to get off on the wrong foot , all right ? but given the trouble that you 've been in , i just do n't really think that you 're in the position to tell me what you will or will not stand for . theresa : so you 're lining up with mom . because you know what ? i 'm not a teenager anymore , okay ? i do n't need to live in one of those rooms that grandma rents out over the pub so you guys can keep an eye on me . kayla : well , good . then you better hang on to this job , so you can find an apartment and pay rent in a place that you like . theresa : i will . kayla : good . and you can start by correcting this bad impression that you made with jennifer , and making things work here with everybody . 'cause you know what i think ? this is probably your last chance . jennifer : daniel and i are taking a break . it was -- it was my idea . kristen : ugh , i 'm so sorry . jennifer : yeah , thank you . kristen : so you do n't want to talk about it , i can tell . jennifer : no , i do n't , really . do n't take it personally . kristen : okay . you 're such a good person . i 'm so sorry . jennifer : oh , gosh , kristen , i really do n't know about that . kristen : oh , you are , and if you do n't have happiness with daniel , i hope you get it with somebody else , because you deserve it . jennifer : you know what ? i want you to be happy . kristen : [ laughing ] jennifer : and i am sorry about what happened with you and brady because i know that you truly loved him . kristen : do n't worry about me . i 've moved on . jennifer : already ? kristen : well , i had to . i did n't have a choice . daniel : i got the results back from all the blood work that we did . sami : you said that already . eric : just let him talk , sami . sami : sorry . daniel : well , i did what 's called a tox screen . i 'm not exactly sure how to interpret the results , so i called one of the area 's leading toxicologists . sami : a toxicologist ? you think that he was poisoned ? daniel : well , it 's a definite possibility . sami : but my brother needs more than just possibilities . eric : okay , sami . sami : he needs answers . you have to tell me what has happened since he got sick . eric : sami , back off . sami : every single detail . no , i 'm not gon na back off . you wo n't tell me . you have to explain to me . you should have seen him . he was shaking . i could barely hold him up . eric : but it 's over , and i feel fine now . daniel : well , maybe the effects of whatever it is are subsiding . sami : `` whatever it is `` ? daniel : okay , i am gon na hold off on drawing conclusions until i talk to a specialist . i faxed over the results . they 're studying them now , okay ? sami : so , once again , we are just dealing in theories here . eric : whoa , `` once again `` ? daniel : okay , now , yeah , sami is a little angry with me 'cause i asked her to leave rafe 's room because her presence agitates him . sami : [ scoffs ] eric : gee , i wonder why . sami : oh , that is not fair . look , i care about you , and i care about rafe , and i am not gon na apologize for that . eric : you know what ? i 'd like you to leave . sami : what ? eric : yes , i 'm tired of sharing my information about ... sami : eric ! eric : this with you . sami : but i -- eric : listen , that 's it . i mean it , just go . sami : well , you may have kicked me out of your office , but you are still my brother , and i am going to make sure you are okay , whether you like it or not . stefano : [ chuckles ] samantha pushed you into doing this , did n't she , huh ? keep me away from my grandchildren ? ej : samantha has no idea what i 've done . but she 'll be very happy when she finds out , after all the things you 've done to her . stefano : i have done nothing . ej : well , let 's put aside the 20 years of brutality and misery that you have brought upon her and her family . when you found out the woman that you did n't want did n't want you , you sent your little snitch bernardi to the hospital to try and kill rafe . unfortunately , samantha was already in that room , and she killed him before he had a chance to carry out your orders . stefano : and it means nothing at all to you that she 's willing to go through all of this to save hernandez ? ej : if she had been indicted by that grand jury , she would have spent the rest of her life in prison . but that did n't matter to you , did it ? your precious grandchildren would have grown up without their mother ! that did n't matter to you , did it ? you were only interested in saving your hide . and when things got a little bit tough , you crawled out of town , and you did n't dare come back here until myself and others had cleaned up your mess . kayla : i was just telling theresa how kind you were to give her this job , and she 's gon na work really hard so that you do n't regret doing that . she 's really grateful to you , jenn . so am i . jennifer : can i ask you why you were at my house with my son the night before last ? theresa : well , i 'd just gotten back to salem , and , um -- well , i have n't been here for a while -- not since i was a little kid -- and so much has changed , you know ? and i got lost . happens to me a lot . so , i saw your house , and it looked familiar , so i walked up to the door and knocked , and jj answered , and , um -- you know , really , i was just asking for directions . jennifer : hmm . okay . that 's fine . theresa : mm - hmm . jennifer : i guess i should show you around the hospital . theresa : great ! jennifer : let me just tell you something first . the reason i 'm doing this is because your aunt kayla and your uncle bo are very dear to me . the entire brady family is very dear to me . so i 'm happy that you 're here , and i really want this to work out ... theresa : but ? jennifer : but i 'm gon na buy you a map of salem , and i 'm gon na bring it in tomorrow . so if you get lost again , do n't show up at my house uninvited . theresa : well , guess you 're gon na have to buy me a map of the hospital , too , even after the tour . this is a really big place . sami : hey ! hi ! i 'm so glad you 're here . jennifer : hi -- sami : oh , my god , jeannie ! hi ! oh , uh , theresa , right ? theresa : huh , yeah . sami : theresa now ? yeah , hey , it 's so good to see you ! aunt kim told me that you were gon na come to visit . how are you ? ej : what 's the matter ? cat got your tongue ? you 're usually so wonderfully verbal . stefano : what is there to say ? [ door opens ] kristen : well , hello . you 're home . mm . so ... what 's going on ? ej : father was just about to pack a bag ... collect the lovely cecily , and get out of this house . kristen : you 're leaving ? but you just got home . ej : it 's no longer his house . it 's mine . see , in a wonderfully shrewd business move , father made one of his companies the owner of the deed on this house . and since he no longer owns the company , he no longer has a right to be in the house . kristen : is this true ? stefano : i would n't dream of sleeping here . when the time comes , i will get in touch with you . kristen : what have you done ? eric : it came on in a few seconds . it lasted a minute or two , and then it was over . daniel : well , thank , uh ... thank goodness . you 're lucky you were n't at the wheel . eric : true . daniel : i want to admit you for observation ... eric : no , i ca n't go to the hospital . daniel : just to be on the safe side . eric : i ca n't go to the hospital now . daniel : what is it , new school ? eric : no , it 's too important to the parish . i have a million things to do . daniel : okay , you are important to the parish . eric : what if i promise to take cabs ? daniel : oh , okay , okay . all right , well , just to be on the safe side , i want to draw some blood . eric : yeah , sure . daniel : okay ? run those tests again . eric : whatever you say . daniel : all right . i mean , the results from the blood already taken should tell us what we need , but , you know , the toxins in your system should be working their way through it . but based on this episode , they seem to be still in there . eric : do you think the specialist will know what it is when they see it ? daniel : well , my friend , i 'm banking on it . kristen : what have you done to father ? ej : i have taken everything he holds dear , from dimera enterprises down to this humble little house . and that is going to be the first thing to go . kristen : you said you wanted us to be a real family . ej : [ whispers ] i lied . kristen : so me coming back here and working so hard to get you and stefano together was just all for nothing ? really ? kristen : so you never really forgave father ? ej : never . kristen : huh . and everything i thought was real was just a lie ? ej : [ sighs ] i know such mendacity must be awfully troubling for a truth - teller like yourself . kristen : i 'm trying to understand , ej . ej : mm - hmm . that would be wise . kristen : i do know that when you love somebody , or when you 're trying to love somebody , you know , if they hurt you , that it 's next to impossible just to forgive and forget . ej : my sentiments exactly . i knew that you 'd come around to my way of thinking . kristen : uh - huh . so , if they hurt you , you do n't have any choice but to hurt them back . ej : precisely . daniel : yeah , why do n't you just get some rest and take it easy for a while , okay ? eric : why do n't you let me pay back this house call by telling me what 's bothering you ? daniel : [ chuckles ] what , you 'll be my spiritual advisor or something ? eric : you have your specialty and i have mine . daniel : well , not really much to tell . i just thought jennifer and i , we could make it through anything , but turns out i was wrong . sami : i can not believe how grown up you are . of course , all i 've seen of you are christmas pictures since you decided to not be called jeannie anymore . how long are you in town for ? theresa : oh , nobody told you ? sami : uh , i guess i 've just been very busy . theresa : [ laughs ] well , yeah , i just thought it would be really cool to come back , you know , to my roots . sami : good for you . theresa : [ chuckles ] and i 'm working for jennifer now . sami : really ? jennifer : yes . she starts today . sami : huh , well , lucky for you , 'cause she is the best boss over . theresa : she totally is . jj : so her name is theresa donovan , and she used to be called jeannie . do n't need your password , mom . i 've got my own .

[ laughs ] i 've known jennifer all my life , and i think you are what she 's been waiting for , too . ej : look , i may not like jonas either , but he does seem to be a good doctor , so , i 'm sure he wo n't stop until he finds out what 's wrong with eric . sami : i hope so . ej : are you on your way home ? sami : why ? you need me ? ej : always . but do n't worry , everything is under control here . sami : okay , well , then i 'll be home later . love you . ej : i love you , too . kristen : so sami does n't know what you 've done to father . ej : not yet , no . kristen : interesting . well , i 'm gon na leave you two to celebrate your victory . i just hope you have enough peace of mind to enjoy it ... while it lasts . ej : i took a big risk . one that paid off handsomely . kristen : good for you . does n't get any better than that . ciao . dr. chyka , please . i do n't care who he 's with . tell him that kristen dimera is calling . dr. chyka , i need to see you right now . i 'll be in the horton town square in ten minutes . be there ! bacon ? !

[ scene_break ] patrick : sonny 's safe . we were able to stabilize him , but he went into v - tach , which basically means his heart stopped . morgan : hold on . hold on . why -- why 'd it do that ? patrick : it could happen for a number of reasons , and we 're running additional tests right now . carly : patrick , you just said his heart stopped . you must be able to tell something . patrick : well , there 's a chance that the bullet shifted . michael : i thought it was lodged near his spine . patrick : which is why we 're running tests right now to determine the exact position . and if it did move , then we 're gon na have to take sonny to surgery soon . carly : soon as in ... ? patrick : now . morgan : no , no , no , no , no , no . you said that he was n't strong enough for surgery . patrick : and that 's why we 're doing x - rays right now to be certain . if the bullet shifting caused the arrest , then we all have a decision to make .

[ scene_break ] jason : so , you had a momentary lapse of judgment . elizabeth : is that what you want to call it ? jason : it 's true that you , uh -- you hid the truth for some time , but i mean , clearly , since danny 's back where he belongs , the truth came out . elizabeth : i felt so guilty about what i had done , i could n't live with it . it became too much . so after a few days , i - i told jason the truth . and he and sam were reunited with danny . and i was right . they got back together . jason : so like i said , everything worked out in the end . elizabeth : yeah . jason : what i do n't understand is why you chose to confess this now , and why to me ? [ scene_break ] carly : i know that you 're afraid . i 'm afraid , too . but it does n't do your father any good to let this fear control you . it 's gon na be up to us to make decisions for him , morgan . that means we need to think as clearly as possible . we need to listen to what the doctors say . look at me . not rail on them , because they ca n't magically make your father better . okay ? morgan : i 'm sorry . i ca n't sit here and be detached and analytical . dad -- dad just got shot . okay ? hey . what 's -- what 's going on ? why 'd his -- why 'd his heart stop ? patrick : i was right . the , um , the bullet shifted , and it 's moving near the aorta . morgan : o - okay , so -- so that means he 's not in danger of being paralyzed , right ? patrick : it 's too soon for that , morgan . dante : well , the bullet , i mean , it 's closer to his heart , right ? patrick : and if it moves any more , it could be fatal . carly : i do n't understand . i thought our concern was that the bullet was gon na move close to sonny 's spine . patrick : right now , the proximity to the aorta presents a more immediate danger . the bullet has a jagged edge to it . if it were to even nick the aorta , which is the body 's main blood supply , sonny could bleed out before i even get a chance to get to the damaged area to repair it . so i 'm suggesting that we surgically remove the bullet as soon as possible . morgan : okay , but wait . you -- you said that it would not be good if you operated right now . carly : is he strong enough for the procedure ? patrick : i would prefer to wait , but if the bullet moves any more , like i said , sonny could bleed out . he could die . michael : just -- just to be clear here , you 're saying the trauma of the surgery could kill him , as well . patrick : yes . carly : so he could die either way ? patrick : either option presents a substantial risk . i 'm gon na go check on sonny 's vitals , see if there 's any change . we 're gon na need a decision soon . morgan : oh , no , no , that 's great . we 'll make the decision on whether , you know , we want you to kill him or we want the bullet to kill him . dante : morgan . morgan : no , but those are the options , are they not ? dante : just try to rein it in a little bit , okay ? morgan : sorry . i 'm sorry . patrick : i need an answer . dante : well , someone 's got to say it . how do we , uh , decide which way to risk sonny 's life ? [ scene_break ] sam : you 're right to a point . physically , jake did the same things that jason would have done . he eliminated the threat . but the -- the motives are different . jake saw that sonny and tj were in trouble , and he stepped in . he reacted in -- in the moment . but jason -- jason would have done anything -- gone to any length to protect sonny . ric : mm - hmm . i remember it quite vividly . sam : and that was what was so great about him . he was loyal to anyone . he would have protected anyone who needed help . that 's what he did the night he was shot . ric : yeah , who was he rescuing that night ? sam : bernie . ric : bernie ? his accountant ? sonny 's accountant . i knew he died , but ... sam : it 's crazy . i remember that day like it was yesterday . jason and i ... we had just brought danny home . we were so happy . and then he got this distress call from bernie , and within two seconds , he headed straight down to the docks . and that 's when faison shot him . i was just telling jake tonight how much i hate that pier . [ sighs ] i was standing on the spot where jason disappeared from my life , talking to a man who can do the same things that jason did . [ scene_break ] jason : i think the only thing that matters is that jason and his family wound up together . elizabeth : except they did n't . jason disappeared the night he and sam brought danny home . jason : yeah , i know . sam told me . elizabeth : she did ? jason : yeah . uh , we had to go back to the warehouse tonight to give our statements , and ... we ended up at the pier afterwards . sam told me she hated that place , and then she told me why . elizabeth : sam and danny did n't even get to spend one single night with jason as a family . and that 's because of me . if i had just told the truth , if i had given jason the correct test results , none of this would have happened . everything would have been different . that night might have never happened , and jason would probably still be with sam and danny . jason : no . jason was on that pier because he chose to be on that pier . he knew the risks , so there is no point in you punishing yourself for `` what if . `` that 's on him . elizabeth : i can regret my actions . i can admit if had made other choices , everything would have changed for jason . jason : you think he loved you ? elizabeth : [ voice breaking ] i hope so . jason : good . i think you 're right . and i do n't think that he 'd want you to beat yourself up like this . elizabeth : i just want to be honest . [ sighs ] you and i are supposed to get married . and before -- before we make that lifetime commitment , i want you to know who i really am . someone who is capable of keeping two people who love each other apart ... keeping a father away from his son . jason : [ chuckles ] you know , one momentary lapse in judgment does not make a sinister plot . elizabeth : [ chuckles ] i just wanted you to know what you 're getting into . and see if , once you knew all the facts , you would still wanted to be with someone ... who could do something so terrible . [ scene_break ] ric : sam ? you okay ? sam : yeah , it 's just -- it 's been a long day . ric : yeah , i bet it seems like old times , huh ? sam : excuse me ? ric : no , i 'm -- i 'm not making light of sonny getting shot , believe me . you know how deeply that affects me . i 'm just saying , this is , you know , not the first time that you 've been a witness to violence . you know , after everything that you described with the incident , the random gunshot , the multiple gunmen getting mowed down -- i mean , that was something that you experienced with jason over and over again . i do n't know what would be the stronger feeling , nostalgia or déjà vu , you know ? sam : [ scoffs ] that would be the end of our supposedly civilized conversation . ric : sam , i was n't trying to offend you . sam : well , you did . so before our truce is completely destroyed ... ric : okay , okay , okay . i 'll take that as my cue to leave . sam : thank you . get out . ric : thanks for the updates on sonny . i 'd just like to say good night to tj and molly , okay ? sam : go ahead . [ scene_break ] jason : i appreciate your honesty . but frankly , i am in no position to judge you . i killed three men today . that and the other things i 've done point to the fact that , uh , whatever my life was before ... probably best forgotten . elizabeth : do you really believe that ? jason : since i 've been awake , i 've done far worse things than you . and i 've been forgiven . i kidnapped sam , and now she trusts me . as far as this danny business , well , i guess the important thing is that , uh , in the end , you told the truth . you could n't keep something like that to yourself , not even for a few days . elizabeth : it 's such a bad lie . jason : yeah . but you set everything straight ... because you had to . because that 's who you are . and that is why i love you . [ scene_break ] nathan : in case i have n't mentioned it , you look beautiful . maxie : thank you . i feel like i 've been in this dress for a week . not only did avery drool all over me , but rocco got mac and cheese fingerprints all over my bodice . nathan : mm . i 'm gon na have to take a look at that bodice . maybe open an investigation and lift some of those fingerprints . maxie : nathan , you are the smartest , sexiest , most honorable , super - hot man that ever lived . nathan : and you want that man to stop . maxie : i just ca n't get in the mood when i feel like a human baby bib . nathan : oh , come on , now . we 've done far dirtier things in much fancier clothes . maxie : [ chuckles ] well , i need to shower this day off . nathan : me too . been crawling around a dusty warehouse , examining three dead bodies , trying to figure out who shot sonny corinthos . maxie : excuse me ? three dead bodies ? nathan : yeah . what , i did n't tell you ? maxie : you most certainly did not . um , how did these ... persons wind up dead ? nathan : jake doe . maxie : jake doe , what ? he killed them ? nathan : yeah . according to his statement , he and sam were down by the pier . they heard a gunshot , so jake went to investigate . he gets there , finds three guys about to kill tj and sonny , and he ... maxie : kills them first ? nathan : yeah . he -- he disarmed the first guy , killed him in the process , and shot the other two . maxie : am i the only one that thinks jake is too dangerous to just be walking around ? nathan : he was calm . he was calm and collected . he told us everything that happened , and sam backed his whole story . maxie : that is so weird . nathan : what , that sam backed his story ? maxie : that she even hangs out with him . [ scene_break ] carly : well , as , um , ric so helpfully pointed out , i 'm not sonny 's wife . this decision has to be made by his children , and kristina 's not here and avery is too young . that leaves the three of you . morgan : what -- what is there to decide ? i - i do n't understand . he needs surgery right now . michael : not necessarily . we could take a calculated risk here . morgan : stop ! calculated risk ? this is dad 's life , michael . michael : we can wait until morning , give him a chance to get a little stronger . morgan : and then what ? oh , yeah , and then the bullet moves and dad dies ? no , dad is a man of action , and he would want to take this risk . carly : dante , what do you think ? dante : patrick said he 's lost a lot of blood , and , uh , he 's very weak . as much as we 'd like to think that he 's invincible , he is not . if surgery could kill him , i vote that we wait . carly : michael ? michael : mom , i ca n't make that choice . dad would want you to be the one to decide . i think we can all agree on that . dante : michael 's right . morgan : he 's right . dad would want you to decide . carly : [ sniffles ] all right . i need to go see your father . [ monitor beeping ] carly : can i have a minute ? patrick : yeah . [ ventilator hissing ] carly : [ sighs ] [ sniffles ] your sons are out there , trying to figure out how to save you . i can see so much of you in them . dante , he has your strength and your fairness . you know , he and i have never been close , but he 's willing to defer to me . [ chuckles ] and morgan , my god , he has your fire and your volatility and ... all of that vulnerability underneath . and michael , he -- he 's so scared . but he refuses to show it because he 's too busy taking care of everybody , and he gets that from you , sonny . that absolute loyalty to family . [ sighs ] but michael says this has to be my choice , and he 's right . [ sniffles ] because if the roles were reversed , i would want you to make the choice for me . partly to protect the boys . if this is the wrong decision , i do n't want them to feel any guilt . but also because you and i , we 've been through everything together . we 're life partners , and i 'm the one who has to go on without you if i 'm wrong . [ sighs ] i know what i 'd want if it were me . and i know you 'd want it , too . [ sniffles ] [ sighs ] patrick : i 've got an or on standby . if we 're gon na operate on sonny , it needs to be now . what 's it gon na be ? [ scene_break ] maxie : you did n't know sam 's late husband , jason , but what jake did to those guys at the warehouse is something jason would have done . and how weird is it that sam knows two different guys that would do the same thing ? nathan : well , according to tj , if jake had n't intervened when he had , then tj and sonny would be dead . and while the pcpd typically frowns on one civilian taking shots at other civilian , i think in this case we 're gon na make an exception , especially since the forensic evidence corroborates jake 's story . maxie : well , i guess i 'm happy for him . nathan : you guess ? maxie : he shot you , remember ? and while i understand there were extenuating circumstances , and he did n't shoot to kill ... nathan : no , he did not . maxie : how can you be so sure ? nathan : because i saw what he did to the guys at the warehouse . trust me , if jake had wanted me dead that day , i would be dead . maxie : do n't say that . i do n't even want to think it . nathan : maxie , i am fine . maxie : yeah , this time . how many shootouts has sonny corinthos been in ? i 'm not sure , but i 'm guessing it 's a lot . and most of the time , he walks away without a scratch . but eventually , luck runs out , just like it did for sonny and jason before him . i 'm really scared that one day , luck is gon na run out for you . ca n't you see why i want to disappear ? nathan : yeah , but , max , that 's not the answer . maxie : then what is ? nathan : we cherish every moment . because you never know what the next one will bring . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : i ca n't tell you how much it means , that you 're willing to look past my mistakes and still be with me . [ sighs ] i do n't deserve you . jason : i do n't know about that . how about instead of second - guessing how good we 've got it , we just accept the fact that we are together , and that 's all that matters . hmm ? hmm ? elizabeth : i like the sound of that . and now that i 've made my confession , and you 've done your best to absolve me , why do n't we just put all the doubt in the past and go crawl into bed ? jason : ooh . i like the sound of that . let 's go do that . elizabeth : okay . jason : come on . come on . elizabeth : [ laughs ] [ scene_break ] [ cell phone rings ] sam : hello ? patrick : hey , it 's me . sam : hey . i was hoping you 'd call . how 's sonny ? patrick : he 's alive , but we had a little episode a bit ago . sam : an episode ? patrick : yeah , his heart stopped . sam : oh , my god . do you know what caused it ? patrick : it could be any number of things . but once we got him stabilized , we realized that the bullet shifted . it 's in a very precarious position near his aorta . sam : what are you gon na do ? patrick : we 're gon na take him to surgery and remove the bullet , but because he 's so weak , he might not survive the surgery . [ scene_break ] morgan : we 're all here , dad . dante : i 'm pulling for you . michael : we 'll be right here when you wake up . carly : you come back to us , okay ? nurse : i 'm sorry . we need to get him ready to be transferred to the or . dante : all right , we 'll see you soon , dad . carly : i love you , sonny . i love you . [ scene_break ] patrick : i 'm gon na be in the or the whole night . sam : okay , well , we 're gon na be fine . emma 's at mac and felicia 's , and i 'm just about to leave here with danny . patrick : okay , well , give the little guy a kiss for me . sam : okay . we 'll be sending you our thoughts , okay ? patrick : thank you . i 'm gon na need all the help i can get . sam : you know how i always take the lead on our adventures ? patrick : yes . sam : well , that -- that 's my thing . this is yours . you 're -- you 're the best that there is . if anyone can save sonny , it 's you . patrick : thank you . sam : i love you . patrick : i love you , too . [ scene_break ] carly : [ sighs ] i hope you guys understand i did what i believed your father would want . michael : well , you made the best decision you could have . now we , uh , just have to hope for the best . [ next_on ] dante ( to lulu ) : can i be forgiven for what i did ? valerie : why are you on my case ? nathan : i know . scott ( to ava ) : what do you know about corinthos getting shot ? lucas ( to julian ) : is it also true that you 're the reason sonny 's in the hospital fighting for his life ? carly ( to patrick ) : is he okay ? how 's sonny ?
everybody is still wondering if sonny is going to make it or not . patrick tells sonny 's family that he has the option of doing surgery which may kill his patient but if he waits , the same thing could happen to sonny . they all know that sonny 's kids are next of kin who would make the decision ( next to ric whom nobody wants anywhere near sonny ) . yet michael concludes that he knows his dad would only want his mom to make the decision for him so it 's carly 's call . she concludes that she knows sonny would want them to attempt to save his life and risk the consequences instead of doing nothing . another thing that is very noteworthy to many people is jake . sam knows the only other person she 's met in her life who can kill in an instant in order to save a life or do what is needed in that manner , was jason . maxie is also really in awe when nathan informs her that jake killed 3 gunmen who were going to kill both sonny and tj if he had not shot them first and so the cops have to overlook what happened and exonerate jake .
<s>[INST] elizabeth : how 's jake doing ? jason : oh , he fell asleep before i even got the covers over him . elizabeth : you 're exactly who he needs . jason : you know , i am not going to abandon him or your other boys , no matter what it is you have to tell me . elizabeth : you say that now , but ... jason : hey . we are family now . you 're all i 've got . i 'm not going anywhere . so , let 's hear it , okay ? what do you have to tell me ? elizabeth : i 've done something terrible ... to sam . jason : to sam ? elizabeth : she 's the one i hurt . [ scene_break ] [ cartoon playing on television ] sam : what the hell are you doing here ? [ scene_break ] maxie : [ sighs ] nathan : [ sighs ] maxie : i do n't want to move for a week . nathan : no arguments here . maxie : what if we did that ? nathan : what if we did what ? maxie : what if we just turned off our phones and did n't move for a week ? nathan : [ chuckling ] well , we 'd have to eat at some point . maxie : okay . we could climb out the window and down the fire escape and order anonymous meals from fast - food restaurants . nathan : [ chuckles ] that 'd probably work for me , but you hate fast food . maxie : hey , i would take it if it meant a week with you and no interruptions . although , i would probably have to text my mom and mac , and you would have to text your sister so they would n't worry . nathan : well , see ? it 's getting complicated already . maxie : [ sighs ] i know . it 's a silly dream . i ca n't help wishing that you and i had a week where we could ... turn down the volume . have some time where nothing bad happens , nothing pretty gets ruined , and nobody gets shot . [ scene_break ] carly : what 's going on ? michael said something happened to sonny . dante : i was -- i was in there talking with him , and the m - machines started going off . carly : what 'd the er team say ? are they in there with him ? dante : i do n't know . they kicked me out . they were looking for dr. drake . carly : did they find him ? is patrick in there ? morgan : yeah , he went in a few minutes ago . they 're working on dad now . [ scene_break ] patrick : start cpr . push one milligram epi . [ monitor beeping rapidly ] patrick : he 's going into v - tach . there 's no pulse . he 's crashing . [ scene_break ] jason : look , whatever it is , you can tell me . elizabeth : i know , i know . and i want to . i have to . jason : okay . it ca n't be that bad . elizabeth : it is . what i did ... it 's about jason and their son . [ scene_break ] ric : hang on a second , buddy . um , listen , just a suggestion , but you might want to watch your language around your kid . sam : i will talk in front of my kid however i damn well please . ric : i 'm sure the vocabulary he picks up from you is gon na make him a big hit the first day in reform school . sam : what is he even doing out of bed at this hour ? and more importantly , what the hell are you doing here ? ric : what , would you rather danny roam the halls ? come on , the kid had trouble sleeping , so i figured it 'd be okay for him to keep me company while we watched cartoons together . sam : cartoons . that is just about your speed , is n't it ? ric : hey . a - are you seriously mocking the snappy social commentary and the musical wit of `` phineas and ferb `` ? or are you just -- you 're just mad , because your own adventures are being overshadowed by that of a -- of an animated platypus ? sam : you still have n't answered my question . what are you doing here and how did you get in ? ric : well , sam , um , i have a daughter . her name is molly . perhaps you know her . she lives here . she actually let me in . sam : and where is she now ? ric : she 's upstairs with tj right now . i figured it would n't be such a bad idea for me to relieve her of her babysitting duties so that they can have a little breather . you know , tj had quite an ordeal today . sam : yeah , i know . i was there . ric : oh , that 's right . i heard something about you and jake doe riding to the rescue . sam : even though i might not agree with my sister 's choice of substitute babysitters , i must admit she probably did n't have a better choice , huh ? ric : does that actually mean you think it 's a good idea that i 'm here ? sam : i 'd ask you for the last time . what are you doing here ? ric : my wife threw me out . sam : even if i felt bad for you , which i do n't , there are people dealing with a lot worse things right now . [ scene_break ] patrick : let 's shock him . charge 200 . nurse : charging . patrick : clear ! nurse : still in v - tach . patrick : charge 300 . nurse : charging . patrick : clear ! come on , sonny . nurse : charging . patrick : come on . clear ! [ scene_break ] michael : what 's -- what 's taking so long ? what 's going on ? morgan : it actually has n't been that long . it 's only been a few minutes . yeah , well , it seems like hours . dante : he 's in good hands , okay ? patrick 's just being thorough . morgan : you think that 's it , though ? i mean , like , what if dad 's not doing good , like his heart ... carly : no , come on . it does n't do help to scare ourselves , okay ? w - we 're just gon na have to wait for answers . is sonny okay ? [ scene_break ] maxie : jake just sort of ... materialized in the doorway , with sonny 's blood all over his shirt . next thing we knew , he was telling carly that she could lose the love of her life . not that he was using those words exactly . he just sort of said , `` i 'm sorry . sonny 's been shot . `` i get that when something terrible happens , you need to get the information out as clearly and as quickly as possible , but i think he should have told her to sit down or taken a moment of privacy or something . nathan : well , not everybody has your gift for managing people . maxie : i just want everything to work out okay for sonny and carly ... like it did for us . [ scene_break ] ric : true , sonny and i have a very complicated history . sam : well , complicated seems to be your thing -- ric : damn it , sam ! i 'm really worried about my brother . look , he may be dying . i mean , hell , he may be dead for all i know , but carly has completely shut me out . i mean , i know she hates me . instead of rehashing all the reasons why she feels this way , the fact still remains that my brother is in crisis , and i ca n't get any information about it . sam : okay . m - maybe you can . i think i can fill you in on what 's going on . [ scene_break ] patrick : sonny 's safe . we were able to stabilize him , but he went into v - tach , which basically means his heart stopped . morgan : hold on . hold on . why -- why 'd it do that ? patrick : it could happen for a number of reasons , and we 're running additional tests right now . carly : patrick , you just said his heart stopped . you must be able to tell something . patrick : well , there 's a chance that the bullet shifted . michael : i thought it was lodged near his spine . patrick : which is why we 're running tests right now to determine the exact position . and if it did move , then we 're gon na have to take sonny to surgery soon . carly : soon as in ... ? patrick : now . morgan : no , no , no , no , no , no . you said that he was n't strong enough for surgery . patrick : and that 's why we 're doing x - rays right now to be certain . if the bullet shifting caused the arrest , then we all have a decision to make . [ scene_break ] jason : you hurt sam with something about jason and danny ? look ... i 'm going to need a little bit of help following this . uh , i - i do n't get it . and i know that you and sam are n't exactly friends , but you go out of your way to get along , and you 're great with each other 's kids . elizabeth : it may seem like that . jason : okay , well if things are n't exactly the way they seem , then why do n't you fill me in ? elizabeth : [ sighs ] jason : set me straight . hey , look at me . okay ? look at me . i 'm gon na keep telling you this until it finally sinks in . i love you . nothing you have to tell me is going to change that . i promise you . elizabeth : jason and sam were n't together ... when danny was born . sam was staying at a motel when she went into labor , and a friend helped deliver her baby . and there -- there was a terrible mix - up , and her baby got switched with another who was stillborn . jason : wait . wow . sam thought danny was dead ? elizabeth : yeah . yeah , but jason started to suspect otherwise , and so he found the baby who was really danny , but he could only prove it with a dna test , and he asked me if i would -- if i could run the test , and ... i falsified the results . i knew the baby was danny , and i made jason think he was n't . jason : why ? elizabeth : because jason and sam were n't together anymore . in fact , sam had already moved on . she was with somebody else . and i knew that if the truth about baby danny came out , it would bring them back together , and i did n't want that to happen . i wanted jason for myself . [ scene_break ] michael : i doubled the guards at the house , but i 'd appreciate if the police could add some extra patrols in the area . dante : it 's already done . tj wo n't leave sonny 's house . commissioner 's losing her mind . she 's got patrols set up every half - hour outside of sonny 's and molly 's . michael : well , i doubt julian or whoever will make a move against the house , but it does n't hurt to be cautious . dante : you do n't think julian shot sonny ? michael : i ... certainly think he 's capable . not for a second do i believe that he 's done with the business . look , dad held port charles for 20 years . he controls transport routes to canada . that makes him a target . i just -- i do n't want to solely focus on julian and miss who 's really responsible here . dante : i do n't know what to say . michael : well , you disagree ? dante : not at all , i 'm just surprised you 're thinking so clearly with him in there fighting for his life right now . michael : well , i can not control what the doctors do to save his life . i 'm as helpless as everybody else . but i can focus on protecting the family ... finding whoever 's responsible . dante : when did you , uh , start calling him `` dad `` again ? michael : tonight . ric was here , and he was saying that , uh , my mom and i are n't really family . dante : oh , what a son of a bitch . michael : no , i know , i -- i was furious , but then i was n't . everything just ... got simple and clear . i knew what my father would want , so i did it . i had philly escort ric out , and i told my mom to sit with dad , and she insisted that i go first , so i did . and i just stood there , and looked at him and i realized that ... he 's my father , you know , and he always has been . i ca n't judge him or punish him . i just ... i have to love him like he always loves me . dante : i wish i could do that . get past my anger towards him and just accept him for who he is . i mean , he could be dying in there right now , and i have n't told him half the things i wanted to tell him . how much i respect him and ... i wish i did n't criticize everything he did that i thought was wrong . [ sighs ] can probably count on one hand how many times i told him i love him . michael : that 's the great thing about dad , though . he just knows . sabrina : michael ! michael : hey . sabrina : hey . how you doing ? i , um , brought you a change of clothes . um , so , what 's going on ? how 's sonny ? michael : his heart stopped . sabrina : what ? ! michael : yeah , uh , they 're running tests right now to see exactly how it happened , but patrick thinks that the bullet might have shifted , and if it has , they might have to bring him to surgery tonight . sabrina : oh , michael . morgan : i mean , come on . honestly , how long does it take to find out if dad needs surgery or not ? carly : morgan , patrick is doing the best that he can . morgan : stop ! stop saying that ! that does not mean anything , mom . that 's like saying , like , `` wow , nice weather outside . `` it 's just a nice phrase . dad could be dying inside right now ! [ scene_break ] ric : so sonny 's still in the er ? sam : yeah . no , no , no . please do n't go back there . please . ric : okay , i wo n't . sam : patrick wants sonny 's vitals to improve , and then he 's gon na try and take the bullet out . ric : okay , but he 's stable for the moment ? sam : as far as i know , yes . ric : good . thank you , sam . you did n't have to do that . sam : yes , i did . to keep you out of the er , of course . ric : [ chuckles ] look , allow me one nakedly honest and vulnerable moment , will you ? you do n't owe me anything , and you just did me a favor . i 'm grateful . sam : you 're welcome . ric : good . now we can return to our regularly scheduled animosity . sam : before we do that , even though we have our own complicated history -- ric : it 's ancient history . sam : i - i want you to know two things . patrick is one of the best surgeons in the world , and your brother sonny is a fighter . ric : [ chuckles ] nah , you do n't have to tell me that . i 've been on the receiving end of his wrath on more than one occasion . sam : he 's -- he 's resilient , you know ? he -- he always , always comes out on top . ric : yeah . it 's partly because sonny 's such a brilliant strategist , you know ? he 's always ten steps ahead of his opponent . except for when his emotions get in the way , which has me wondering -- i just -- i do n't know how he was alone in that warehouse . i mean , why would he make himself so vulnerable ? sam : well , i thought you knew . they were using tj as bait . ric : no , no , no . even so . i mean , there had to be a better way than for sonny to go in there alone and unarmed . i mean , you and i both know that , you know , somebody that 's been close to him has been taken hostage before . i mean , why would n't sonny have somebody monitoring the warehouse , you know ? watching it in case the situation went wrong ? why would n't he have chosen an alternate meeting place ? i mean , why would he just follow instructions ? sam : i - i guess he did n't want to risk tj 's life . ric : yeah , that 's part of it . you know , maybe sonny just wanted to get married . maybe he just did n't want the mob business to cast a shadow on his wedding day . he just wanted to take care of it himself and just be done with it . i mean , five years ago , sonny would have never done that . sam : five years ago , jason would have been here to take care of it . ric : well , look , with all due respect to your grief , sam ... jason was n't irreplaceable . sam : is that what you think ? ric : there are a lot of men and women who are expert killers , okay ? look at jake doe , for instance , right ? i mean , you never even told me , how did he even save sonny ? sam : he went into the warehouse unarmed and he killed three people in less than a minute . ric : okay . that proves my point . i mean , that 's exactly what jason would have done . [ scene_break ] jason : so , you had a momentary lapse of judgment . elizabeth : is that what you want to call it ? jason : it 's true that you , uh -- you hid the truth for some time , but i mean , clearly , since danny 's back where he belongs , the truth came out . elizabeth : i felt so guilty about what i had done , i could n't live with it . it became too much . so after a few days , i - i told jason the truth . and he and sam were reunited with danny . and i was right . they got back together . jason : so like i said , everything worked out in the end . elizabeth : yeah . jason : what i do n't understand is why you chose to confess this now , and why to me ? [ scene_break ] carly : i know that you 're afraid . i 'm afraid , too . but it does n't do your father any good to let this fear control you . it 's gon na be up to us to make decisions for him , morgan . that means we need to think as clearly as possible . we need to listen to what the doctors say . look at me . not rail on them , because they ca n't magically make your father better . okay ? morgan : i 'm sorry . i ca n't sit here and be detached and analytical . dad -- dad just got shot . okay ? hey . what 's -- what 's going on ? why 'd his -- why 'd his heart stop ? patrick : i was right . the , um , the bullet shifted , and it 's moving near the aorta . morgan : o - okay , so -- so that means he 's not in danger of being paralyzed , right ? patrick : it 's too soon for that , morgan . dante : well , the bullet , i mean , it 's closer to his heart , right ? patrick : and if it moves any more , it could be fatal . carly : i do n't understand . i thought our concern was that the bullet was gon na move close to sonny 's spine . patrick : right now , the proximity to the aorta presents a more immediate danger . the bullet has a jagged edge to it . if it were to even nick the aorta , which is the body 's main blood supply , sonny could bleed out before i even get a chance to get to the damaged area to repair it . so i 'm suggesting that we surgically remove the bullet as soon as possible . morgan : okay , but wait . you -- you said that it would not be good if you operated right now . carly : is he strong enough for the procedure ? patrick : i would prefer to wait , but if the bullet moves any more , like i said , sonny could bleed out . he could die . michael : just -- just to be clear here , you 're saying the trauma of the surgery could kill him , as well . patrick : yes . carly : so he could die either way ? patrick : either option presents a substantial risk . i 'm gon na go check on sonny 's vitals , see if there 's any change . we 're gon na need a decision soon . morgan : oh , no , no , that 's great . we 'll make the decision on whether , you know , we want you to kill him or we want the bullet to kill him . dante : morgan . morgan : no , but those are the options , are they not ? dante : just try to rein it in a little bit , okay ? morgan : sorry . i 'm sorry . patrick : i need an answer . dante : well , someone 's got to say it . how do we , uh , decide which way to risk sonny 's life ? [ scene_break ] sam : you 're right to a point . physically , jake did the same things that jason would have done . he eliminated the threat . but the -- the motives are different . jake saw that sonny and tj were in trouble , and he stepped in . he reacted in -- in the moment . but jason -- jason would have done anything -- gone to any length to protect sonny . ric : mm - hmm . i remember it quite vividly . sam : and that was what was so great about him . he was loyal to anyone . he would have protected anyone who needed help . that 's what he did the night he was shot . ric : yeah , who was he rescuing that night ? sam : bernie . ric : bernie ? his accountant ? sonny 's accountant . i knew he died , but ... sam : it 's crazy . i remember that day like it was yesterday . jason and i ... we had just brought danny home . we were so happy . and then he got this distress call from bernie , and within two seconds , he headed straight down to the docks . and that 's when faison shot him . i was just telling jake tonight how much i hate that pier . [ sighs ] i was standing on the spot where jason disappeared from my life , talking to a man who can do the same things that jason did . [ scene_break ] jason : i think the only thing that matters is that jason and his family wound up together . elizabeth : except they did n't . jason disappeared the night he and sam brought danny home . jason : yeah , i know . sam told me . elizabeth : she did ? jason : yeah . uh , we had to go back to the warehouse tonight to give our statements , and ... we ended up at the pier afterwards . sam told me she hated that place , and then she told me why . elizabeth : sam and danny did n't even get to spend one single night with jason as a family . and that 's because of me . if i had just told the truth , if i had given jason the correct test results , none of this would have happened . everything would have been different . that night might have never happened , and jason would probably still be with sam and danny . jason : no . jason was on that pier because he chose to be on that pier . he knew the risks , so there is no point in you punishing yourself for `` what if . `` that 's on him . elizabeth : i can regret my actions . i can admit if had made other choices , everything would have changed for jason . jason : you think he loved you ? elizabeth : [ voice breaking ] i hope so . jason : good . i think you 're right . and i do n't think that he 'd want you to beat yourself up like this . elizabeth : i just want to be honest . [ sighs ] you and i are supposed to get married . and before -- before we make that lifetime commitment , i want you to know who i really am . someone who is capable of keeping two people who love each other apart ... keeping a father away from his son . jason : [ chuckles ] you know , one momentary lapse in judgment does not make a sinister plot . elizabeth : [ chuckles ] i just wanted you to know what you 're getting into . and see if , once you knew all the facts , you would still wanted to be with someone ... who could do something so terrible . [ scene_break ] ric : sam ? you okay ? sam : yeah , it 's just -- it 's been a long day . ric : yeah , i bet it seems like old times , huh ? sam : excuse me ? ric : no , i 'm -- i 'm not making light of sonny getting shot , believe me . you know how deeply that affects me . i 'm just saying , this is , you know , not the first time that you 've been a witness to violence . you know , after everything that you described with the incident , the random gunshot , the multiple gunmen getting mowed down -- i mean , that was something that you experienced with jason over and over again . i do n't know what would be the stronger feeling , nostalgia or déjà vu , you know ? sam : [ scoffs ] that would be the end of our supposedly civilized conversation . ric : sam , i was n't trying to offend you . sam : well , you did . so before our truce is completely destroyed ... ric : okay , okay , okay . i 'll take that as my cue to leave . sam : thank you . get out . ric : thanks for the updates on sonny . i 'd just like to say good night to tj and molly , okay ? sam : go ahead . [ scene_break ] jason : i appreciate your honesty . but frankly , i am in no position to judge you . i killed three men today . that and the other things i 've done point to the fact that , uh , whatever my life was before ... probably best forgotten . elizabeth : do you really believe that ? jason : since i 've been awake , i 've done far worse things than you . and i 've been forgiven . i kidnapped sam , and now she trusts me . as far as this danny business , well , i guess the important thing is that , uh , in the end , you told the truth . you could n't keep something like that to yourself , not even for a few days . elizabeth : it 's such a bad lie . jason : yeah . but you set everything straight ... because you had to . because that 's who you are . and that is why i love you . [ scene_break ] nathan : in case i have n't mentioned it , you look beautiful . maxie : thank you . i feel like i 've been in this dress for a week . not only did avery drool all over me , but rocco got mac and cheese fingerprints all over my bodice . nathan : mm . i 'm gon na have to take a look at that bodice . maybe open an investigation and lift some of those fingerprints . maxie : nathan , you are the smartest , sexiest , most honorable , super - hot man that ever lived . nathan : and you want that man to stop . maxie : i just ca n't get in the mood when i feel like a human baby bib . nathan : oh , come on , now . we 've done far dirtier things in much fancier clothes . maxie : [ chuckles ] well , i need to shower this day off . nathan : me too . been crawling around a dusty warehouse , examining three dead bodies , trying to figure out who shot sonny corinthos . maxie : excuse me ? three dead bodies ? nathan : yeah . what , i did n't tell you ? maxie : you most certainly did not . um , how did these ... persons wind up dead ? nathan : jake doe . maxie : jake doe , what ? he killed them ? nathan : yeah . according to his statement , he and sam were down by the pier . they heard a gunshot , so jake went to investigate . he gets there , finds three guys about to kill tj and sonny , and he ... maxie : kills them first ? nathan : yeah . he -- he disarmed the first guy , killed him in the process , and shot the other two . maxie : am i the only one that thinks jake is too dangerous to just be walking around ? nathan : he was calm . he was calm and collected . he told us everything that happened , and sam backed his whole story . maxie : that is so weird . nathan : what , that sam backed his story ? maxie : that she even hangs out with him . [ scene_break ] carly : well , as , um , ric so helpfully pointed out , i 'm not sonny 's wife . this decision has to be made by his children , and kristina 's not here and avery is too young . that leaves the three of you . morgan : what -- what is there to decide ? i - i do n't understand . he needs surgery right now . michael : not necessarily . we could take a calculated risk here . morgan : stop ! calculated risk ? this is dad 's life , michael . michael : we can wait until morning , give him a chance to get a little stronger . morgan : and then what ? oh , yeah , and then the bullet moves and dad dies ? no , dad is a man of action , and he would want to take this risk . carly : dante , what do you think ? dante : patrick said he 's lost a lot of blood , and , uh , he 's very weak . as much as we 'd like to think that he 's invincible , he is not . if surgery could kill him , i vote that we wait . carly : michael ? michael : mom , i ca n't make that choice . dad would want you to be the one to decide . i think we can all agree on that . dante : michael 's right . morgan : he 's right . dad would want you to decide . carly : [ sniffles ] all right . i need to go see your father . [ monitor beeping ] carly : can i have a minute ? patrick : yeah . [ ventilator hissing ] carly : [ sighs ] [ sniffles ] your sons are out there , trying to figure out how to save you . i can see so much of you in them . dante , he has your strength and your fairness . you know , he and i have never been close , but he 's willing to defer to me . [ chuckles ] and morgan , my god , he has your fire and your volatility and ... all of that vulnerability underneath . and michael , he -- he 's so scared . but he refuses to show it because he 's too busy taking care of everybody , and he gets that from you , sonny . that absolute loyalty to family . [ sighs ] but michael says this has to be my choice , and he 's right . [ sniffles ] because if the roles were reversed , i would want you to make the choice for me . partly to protect the boys . if this is the wrong decision , i do n't want them to feel any guilt . but also because you and i , we 've been through everything together . we 're life partners , and i 'm the one who has to go on without you if i 'm wrong . [ sighs ] i know what i 'd want if it were me . and i know you 'd want it , too . [ sniffles ] [ sighs ] patrick : i 've got an or on standby . if we 're gon na operate on sonny , it needs to be now . what 's it gon na be ? [ scene_break ] maxie : you did n't know sam 's late husband , jason , but what jake did to those guys at the warehouse is something jason would have done . and how weird is it that sam knows two different guys that would do the same thing ? nathan : well , according to tj , if jake had n't intervened when he had , then tj and sonny would be dead . and while the pcpd typically frowns on one civilian taking shots at other civilian , i think in this case we 're gon na make an exception , especially since the forensic evidence corroborates jake 's story . maxie : well , i guess i 'm happy for him . nathan : you guess ? maxie : he shot you , remember ? and while i understand there were extenuating circumstances , and he did n't shoot to kill ... nathan : no , he did not . maxie : how can you be so sure ? nathan : because i saw what he did to the guys at the warehouse . trust me , if jake had wanted me dead that day , i would be dead . maxie : do n't say that . i do n't even want to think it . nathan : maxie , i am fine . maxie : yeah , this time . how many shootouts has sonny corinthos been in ? i 'm not sure , but i 'm guessing it 's a lot . and most of the time , he walks away without a scratch . but eventually , luck runs out , just like it did for sonny and jason before him . i 'm really scared that one day , luck is gon na run out for you . ca n't you see why i want to disappear ? nathan : yeah , but , max , that 's not the answer . maxie : then what is ? nathan : we cherish every moment . because you never know what the next one will bring . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : i ca n't tell you how much it means , that you 're willing to look past my mistakes and still be with me . [ sighs ] i do n't deserve you . jason : i do n't know about that . how about instead of second - guessing how good we 've got it , we just accept the fact that we are together , and that 's all that matters . hmm ? hmm ? elizabeth : i like the sound of that . and now that i 've made my confession , and you 've done your best to absolve me , why do n't we just put all the doubt in the past and go crawl into bed ? jason : ooh . i like the sound of that . let 's go do that . elizabeth : okay . jason : come on . come on . elizabeth : [ laughs ] [ scene_break ] [ cell phone rings ] sam : hello ? patrick : hey , it 's me . sam : hey . i was hoping you 'd call . how 's sonny ? patrick : he 's alive , but we had a little episode a bit ago . sam : an episode ? patrick : yeah , his heart stopped . sam : oh , my god . do you know what caused it ? patrick : it could be any number of things . but once we got him stabilized , we realized that the bullet shifted . it 's in a very precarious position near his aorta . sam : what are you gon na do ? patrick : we 're gon na take him to surgery and remove the bullet , but because he 's so weak , he might not survive the surgery . [ scene_break ] morgan : we 're all here , dad . dante : i 'm pulling for you . michael : we 'll be right here when you wake up . carly : you come back to us , okay ? nurse : i 'm sorry . we need to get him ready to be transferred to the or . dante : all right , we 'll see you soon , dad . carly : i love you , sonny . i love you . [ scene_break ] patrick : i 'm gon na be in the or the whole night . sam : okay , well , we 're gon na be fine . emma 's at mac and felicia 's , and i 'm just about to leave here with danny . patrick : okay , well , give the little guy a kiss for me . sam : okay . we 'll be sending you our thoughts , okay ? patrick : thank you . i 'm gon na need all the help i can get . sam : you know how i always take the lead on our adventures ? patrick : yes . sam : well , that -- that 's my thing . this is yours . you 're -- you 're the best that there is . if anyone can save sonny , it 's you . patrick : thank you . sam : i love you . patrick : i love you , too . [ scene_break ] carly : [ sighs ] i hope you guys understand i did what i believed your father would want . michael : well , you made the best decision you could have . now we , uh , just have to hope for the best . [ next_on ] dante ( to lulu ) : can i be forgiven for what i did ? valerie : why are you on my case ? nathan : i know . scott ( to ava ) : what do you know about corinthos getting shot ? lucas ( to julian ) : is it also true that you 're the reason sonny 's in the hospital fighting for his life ? carly ( to patrick ) : is he okay ? how 's sonny ?Summarize.[/INST]everybody is still wondering if sonny is going to make it or not . patrick tells sonny 's family that he has the option of doing surgery which may kill his patient but if he waits , the same thing could happen to sonny . they all know that sonny 's kids are next of kin who would make the decision ( next to ric whom nobody wants anywhere near sonny ) . yet michael concludes that he knows his dad would only want his mom to make the decision for him so it 's carly 's call . she concludes that she knows sonny would want them to attempt to save his life and risk the consequences instead of doing nothing . another thing that is very noteworthy to many people is jake . sam knows the only other person she 's met in her life who can kill in an instant in order to save a life or do what is needed in that manner , was jason . maxie is also really in awe when nathan informs her that jake killed 3 gunmen who were going to kill both sonny and tj if he had not shot them first and so the cops have to overlook what happened and exonerate jake .</s>

while talking to hayden at the floating rib , tracy suddenly collapses and appears to be having a seizure . dr. griffin munro is nearby and tells her she needs to get to a hospital although she does not want to listen to him . both dillon and hayden are worried about her although she wants to remain in control of everything , does not listen to them and assumes griffin is too young , inexperienced , nothing more than a candy - striper . she tells him she needs a `` real doctor `` . he goes and finds dr. mayes whom she can see is older although she knows nothing about him . dillon admits he 's worried his mom may be suffering from dementia . tracy continues to distrust hayden and believe she wants tracy to be sick and helpless . sam takes danny to shriners to visit jason and jake . elizabeth is clearly not ok with that . it 's clear that sam and jason may be getting closer as he expresses how worried he was that she was without him at the chapel when she could have gotten killed by the gunman . she expresses she believed he should have been there because he could have saved the day . nikolas still needs help in finding out secret information about hayden . everyone is encouraged that jake will be ok although everyone is still worried about kiki . ava realizes that paul is in control over whether she goes to prison for murder . she informs franco that she can see he has been a wonderful surrogate father to her daughter so she tells him if something happens to prevent her from having access to her daughter , she wants him to be there in her place .

[ scene_break ] deacon : okay , wait a second . honey , i do n't -- i do n't think we should start something that we 're not going to be able to finish . jackie : oh , what do you mean ? deacon : come on . i 'm talking about the party tonight . you know , we got the big jackie m bash . jackie : oh . deacon : look , if we get distracted , we 're never gon na make it on time , so it 's better just not to even start . jackie : i thought that you 'd taken care of everything and all we had to do was just show up . deacon : well , i did . but , you know , i want to get there before the vips show up , and i want to make sure that all my instructions got carried out to the `` t. `` this is important . i do n't want to leave this to chance . jackie : important ? oh , you mean to the success of the boutique . deacon : honey , i 'm not talking about the boutiques . they 're already a hit . i got the money pouring in . i 'm definitely not doing this to tout our success . i 'm doing this for you , and only you , for everything that you 've brought to my life and everything you mean to me . you might not realize this , but you 've changed me . you have . i 'm a different guy . and god help anyone who ever tries to mess with what we have . [ scene_break ] massimo : heather , i have been apprised of your success in angola . heather : i thought it may be the last job i 'd ever do for you . but i see the rumors of your incapacity were greatly exaggerated . it 's good to have you back . massimo : thank you . heather : so , where am i headed ? massimo : you 're not headed anywhere . you 're gon na stay right here in l.a . heather : oh ? massimo : mm - hmm . i have an assignment that i would n't trust to anyone else . [ scene_break ] brooke : bridget . i did n't know you were there . bridget : oh , i did n't want to interrupt . ridge : you 're not . we were just sort of -- what were we doing , logan ? brooke : enjoying the peace and quiet . ridge : yeah , that , too . brooke : well , i was on my way upstairs , so -- so do n't be long . bridget : so , where is everybody ? ridge : i guess just recuperating from the hustle and bustle of the holidays . bridget : well , okay . i guess i should probably be getting back to -- i was working -- ridge : not so fast here . i want to ask you a very important question . [ scene_break ] heather : are n't all my assignments things you would n't trust to anyone else ? massimo : this is different . it has nothing to do with marone industries . heather : so it 's personal ? massimo : please , sit down . i assume that you know my wife is not living here any longer . heather : where did she go ? massimo : to the home of one deacon sharpe -- alcoholic , gold digger , ladies man . heather : i know the type . how do you want it handled ? [ scene_break ] jackie : oh , deacon , you were right . it 's fabulous . deacon : so i take it you approve . jackie : yeah . and you 're flying in the fashion elite from new york and paris . deacon : where they 've been freezing their butts off . jackie : huh . to enjoy the balmy breezes and the beach ambiance of sunny l.a . darling , they are going to be putty in your hands . deacon : just like i am in yours . jackie : what made you think of it ? deacon : well , actually , there were two reasons . the first was i wanted to recreate what we have down at the beach . the second is i wanted to , you know , create a tribute to you . you know , to your spirit , to your vitality , everything that goes into jackie m. hey , i do n't want all these people thinking that jackie m is run by a bunch of uptight suits . i want them to know that it 's by a beautiful , classy lady , who 's got a little bit of a bawdy streak in her . nah , the secret is safe with me . i promise . however , there is one thing that i 'm not going to be able to keep under wraps , jackie , so i think you better prepare yourself , because , tonight , i plan on making the announcement of a lifetime . [ scene_break ] bridget : okay . i 'll bite . what 's the big question ? ridge : actually , it 's about us . bridget : us ? ridge : something you confided in me before christmas . bridget : oh . you mean -- ridge : you still have n't told your mom you 've canceled your engagement , have you ? bridget : and now i see it 's putting you in an awkward position . ridge : no , not really . not really . it 's -- i realize you probably have n't found the right time with the holidays and all that , but you are going to tell her before you go back to copenhagen , right ? bridget : oh , i see . you 're trying to get rid of me this quickly , huh ? ridge : if it was up to me , i 'd hide your passport so you 'd never leave . but that would be very selfish of me , would n't it ? seeing as how much i know you want to be a doctor . having you around here has been so much fun , who can blame me ? kinda like old times , when you used to live here with us . bridget : it seems like a lifetime ago . ridge : no , not to me . see , all that is etched right here . like when you used to play the board games with the kids in front of the fire . bridget : oh , i 'd look over , and you 'd be so busy designing . ridge : after we 'd put the kids to bed , and then we 'd come down and talk and talk and talk all night . bridget : for hours . i remember how wonderful you were . during that time after taylor died , just your strength . ridge : i do n't think i could have gotten through that without your help . bridget : it 's a shame things got so messed up . i 'm sorry . i should n't have brought all that up . ridge : actually , maybe it 's better you did . [ scene_break ] deacon : okay , do me a favor . make sure that when you 're circulating around , let the guests know we have alcoholic , nonalcoholic . they can choose whatever they want . just make sure that my drink is booze free . here you go . got it . thanks a lot . jackie : susan , these gifts bags are -- they 're to die for . did you put them together yourself ? jeff : she had a little help . jackie : oh , you guys . you must have slaved over the holidays . susan : it 's a very important night . mr. sharpe wants everything to be perfect . jeff : and we are glad to accommodate , right , susan ? especially after that generous christmas bonus . deacon : which i 'd just like to point out , did come out of my share of the profits . now , i hope the boss lady here is not giving you guys a rough time , is she ? susan : not at all . mrs. marone was telling us -- jackie : just thanking jeff and susan for all their hard work . and to remind you , please , it 's jackie , not mrs. marone . jeff : we 'd better get the rest of these bags out . deacon : so it 's jackie , not mrs. marone now . jackie : mm - hmm . deacon : you 're shedding that , huh ? jackie : yeah . you noticed ? deacon : i did . and i could n't be happier . but , i got to tell you , i got a little confession to make . jackie : oh ? about the `` announcement of a lifetime `` ? deacon : yeah , you know , what do they call it ? you know , i kinda had an ulterior motive . jackie : for having a party ? deacon : yeah . see , jackie , a lot of people are gon na be wondering about you and massimo . they 're gon na want to know where you guys stand . and i think tonight would be just a great time to acknowledge that you and i are together , and that we 're happy , and we 've got nothing to be ashamed about . that we 're not living in the past , so why not let everybody know it ? massimo seems okay with it , why should n't everybody else be ? [ scene_break ] massimo : that is the only weapon you 'll need . [ massimo chuckles ] no , it 's not poison . although , in a matter of speaking , i suppose you could say it is . it 's alcohol -- very refined , tasteless and odorless . heather : i see . so i 'll only be planting the seed of his destruction . massimo : mm - hmm . and then deacon will take it from there . he will reveal himself to jacqueline , his true self , much more convincingly than i ever could . heather , i 'll try to explain why i 'm doing all this in the very near future . but , tonight , is the beginning of the end for one deacon sharpe .

[ door opens ] lily : yeah . yeah , that works . um , i got to go . i 'll see you soon . love you . hey . cane : hey . lily : mattie knows that something is wrong . she thinks you 're in trouble at work . i mean , she 's not the kind of girl you can fool and get away with it . cane : so , what 'd you say ? lily : i covered , but we have to tell them what 's going on . mattie wo n't stop until she knows the truth , and i want them to hear it from us . cane : can we just hold off just for a little bit if we can ? lily : why ? nothing 's gon na change . cane : well , that 's going to depend on , um ... juliet agreed to the paternity test , so i took her to get it done , and now we just have to wait to see who the father is . lily : so , you really think that you 're not the father ? cane : i do n't know . well , we 've been here before , have n't we ? lily : chloe . cane : yeah . she lied and let me think that delia was my daughter . i almost lost you . i 'm not gon na go through that again . lily : well , i really hope you 're right , that juliet is lying . it 'd be one less thing for us to deal with . cane : there 's another thing i should tell you . um ... victoria just fired me . billy : hey . victoria : hey . billy : what are you working on ? victoria : west coast profit - loss statement for the men 's line . billy : is n't that cane 's job ? victoria : cane does n't work here anymore . i terminated his employment . billy : you 're kidding , right ? victoria : do you think i would joke about something like that ? what , you did n't think i 'd have the nerve to do it , did you ? kevin : no . no . it 's nothing . chelsea : why does bella think she 's going to see chloe ? kevin : `` seeing mommy `` is what she says when we go to chloe 's grave . she knows her mom 's in heaven . chelsea : oh . kevin : i know a child psychiatrist would say that i 'm messing her up for life , i 'm sure , but i just -- i do n't have the heart to correct her . chelsea : i know , i 've dealt with the same issues . kevin : yeah , i 'm sure . you know , and when esther takes her to see chloe , she likes to talk to mommy . chelsea : yeah . i get it . sometimes late at night , after i 've put connor to bed , i hear him talking to adam .

[ clears throat ] i 'll get through it . chelsea : you know what we should do ? we should have a play date . for connor and bella . it 's been so long since the last one . kevin : yeah , um , well , we 're gon na have to take a rain check , and , unfortunately , it 's gon na be a while before we can cash it in . bella and i are moving to oregon . chelsea : what ? kevin : yeah . portland . we leave today . chelsea : you 're moving and you 're leaving today ? kevin : i ca n't deal with all the memories . i see chloe everywhere i go . it 's -- it 's time for a fresh start . i know that you get that . chelsea : i do , and ... i know that you will find the happiness that you deserve again . kevin : i finally think i will . victor : i think it looks beautiful . nikki : oh , victor ... the gown and the necklace , it 's just ... it 's too much . victor : no , it 's not . nikki : i know you want to go all - out for this charity benefit , but ... nothing has changed between the two of us . victor : i hope your time away did n't prevent you from practicing for the concert . nikki : no . not at all . in fact , it gave me more time to prepare . victor : good . i did n't mean to stress you in any way , you know ?

billy : you gave cane a free pass on all his other lies . i figured it 'd be the same with this one . victoria : well , you were mistaken . i ca n't and i wo n't abide an employee whose reckless behavior on company time put us in the middle of a devastating lawsuit . juliet cost us a small fortune . billy : hey , you do n't have to sell me on this , okay ? if it was me , i would have gotten rid of him a long time ago for a number of reasons . victoria : yeah , i know . well , now i have to make up for time lost due to all the many distractions minus two key employees and basically -- [ sighs ] i 'm screwed . billy : what do you need ? victoria : the willingness to work more hours than you already have , maybe give up your weekends , at least for a while . billy : done and done . lily : well , i ca n't really say i 'm surprised . given all the lies and the lawsuit , victoria did n't really have a choice . cane : i know . i know . but i 'm an asset to the company . i helped make it a success , you know ? i had this one little slip - up in japan , and that was resolved . god , if only victoria had fired billy ... lily : can you stop blaming everyone but yourself ? you 're the one who chose to get drunk and you chose to sleep with juliet and you chose to lie to everyone about it . cane : i did , did n't i ? i 'm sorry . i 'm ashamed of myself for what i 've done . i 'm ashamed for the way i 've hurt you . i 'm ashamed of the damage i 've done to our family . i 'm sorry . chelsea : hey ! nick : hey ! chelsea : um , so , i just bumped into kevin at the park . he and bella are moving . to oregon . like , today . nick : what ? why ? chelsea : he said he needed a fresh start . nick : well , i can understand , that , you know . fresh starts can be great . i got one with you . chelsea : i got one with you , too . nick : i really hope this move works out for kevin . chelsea : yeah . so do i. oh , i passed by chancellor pavilion on my way over . the place is bumpin ' . your father really went all - out for this benefit . i heard you were there . nick : yeah . i was . mom 's back , too , from her mysterious trip . chelsea : where was she ? nick : colorado . chelsea : what was she doing in colorado ? nick : she was getting some holistic therapy at this spa she likes . chelsea : why ? what 's wrong ? nick : well , uh , mom does n't want anyone to know this , but her m.s . flared up . chelsea : no ! oh , i 'm so sorry to hear that . did the therapy help ? nick : she claims it did . chelsea : `` she claims it did . `` so , what , you do n't believe her ? nick : you know , i saw her playing the piano . it seems like she 's in a lot of pain . chelsea : did you tell victor ? nick : no . chelsea : why did n't nikki tell him ? esther : oh , thank you for getting here so quickly . gloria : you were blubbering so much on the phone , i could n't understand a word you were saying . and it 's not like you 're the crying type , so i knew it was serious . so what 's wrong ? esther : it 's kevin and bella . gloria : what about them ? esther : they 're moving to oregon , just , out of nowhere ! gloria : oregon ? as in way out west 1,000 miles away ? that oregon ? esther : you have to talk him out of it . gloria : when did he tell you this ? esther : earlier today when he got back from his trip . which , by the way , he did n't even go to tahiti ! gloria : really ? i ca n't believe he did n't call to tell me he was back . or anything else . i 'm his mother . that 's shameful . esther : so , you can convince him to stay ? gloria : oh , yes , i will talk some sense into him . in fact , i will not leave this sofa until i do . kevin : thank you . okay , go have fun . stay close . paul : hey there . kevin : hi ! paul : what the hell happened to your face ? kevin : oh , uh ... i was hiking . there was a cliff . i do n't want to talk about it . paul : okay . did you get a new phone ? kevin : yeah , i was , uh , eligible for an upgrade . paul : huh . kevin : thanks for coming to meet me . paul : sure . i do n't know whether to shake your hand or , uh , shake some sense into you . kevin : why do you say that ? paul : why do you think ? you were mia . you never stepped foot in tahiti . you did n't answer your phone . i mean , nobody knew where you were . kevin : i 'm sorry about that . go ahead , shake me if you want . i had a last- minute change of plans . i did n't realize it was gon na turn into a game of `` where in the world is kevin fisher . `` paul : well , why not ? i mean , you 've got family and friends that love and care about you . kevin : yeah , i know . that makes what i 'm about to tell you , uh , difficult . cane : i 'm not gon na make excuses for myself anymore . look , i know that this sounds naive , but i truly did think that when victoria settled with juliet , this would just go away . lily : so , what happens now ? cane : well , victoria had juliet sign a non - disclosure agreement which means that she ca n't tell anybody about it , or she forfeits everything . and , uh ... it also means that what i did ca n't become public knowledge . lily : right , unless the baby is yours and becomes a part of our lives , and then your `` drunken mistake `` affects us for years . cane : hopefully , we 'll know the paternity test results soon . are you going to be able to trust me again ? lily : the only reason why i know that she spent the night in your hotel room is because i saw the security footage , and you only admitted to sleeping with her because she was pregnant . so i do n't know , cane . how am i supposed to trust you again ? cane : i see . lily : right , exactly . so when you figure that out , you can let me know . [ door closes ] paul : okay , i mean , you make some valid points as to why you 're leaving , but you 're talking about moving away from michael and lauren and taking bella from the only family that she has left . kevin : i think this is gon na be good for us . you never know till you try , right ? paul : [ sighs ] do you have a job lined up , or a place to live ? kevin , have you really thought about this ? kevin : no , yes , yes . there are plenty of tech jobs in portland . paul : so , this is it . you 're leaving today . not even gon na give me two weeks to find your replacement . kevin : i would , but -- i found this great little place . the landlord 's expecting me to pick up the keys by the 15th . if i do n't , somebody else gets it . how about this ? if you need me to , i 'll come back and train my replacement . paul : you 're sure about this , right ? kevin : as sure as anything . paul : you know , i never thought i 'd hear me say this , but ... i 'm really gon na miss you , kevin . nick : mom did n't know i was watching , but she has too much pride to admit that she 's in pain . nothing i would say could get her to skip the performance . i think she wants to do it just to prove to dad that she can do it , you know ? my dad 's put in a lot of work . she does n't want to feel like she let him down or the m.s . community . chelsea : well , would n't victor cancel the concert if he thought that this was a flare - up , if he thought nikki 's health was at risk ? nick : mom made me swear not to tell him . i mean , she says she 's okay . chelsea : listen , maybe she 's telling the truth . maybe she 's just a little sore because she 's out of practice . nick : yeah , that might be it . i also know my mom wants this concert to go well . [ sighs ] i just wish there was some way for her to avoid doing it without feeling like she was a quitter , you know ? what we need is a rain - out , like a torrential downpour , maybe some hail , a touch of lightning . chelsea : well , i hate to be the bearer of bad news , but i checked the weather , and tomorrow is supposed to be gorgeous , not a cloud in the sky . nick : huh . of course it is . chelsea : listen to me . trust your mom , nick . believe that she can handle this . it 's very sweet that you 're very protective , but nikki 's a strong - willed woman . she 'll make the right decision . nikki : well ? victor : stunning . nikki : it is . but as you can see , the hem -- i 'm worried that i might trip . victor : give me a minute . chelsea ? yes , victor . listen , um , the dress you made for nikki is absolutely beautiful , but it 's a little long , so -- yeah ? could you ? well , that 's very nice of you . thank you . appreciate it . here at the ranch . right . chelsea 's on the way over . nikki : you must be very pleased with yourself . make one phone call , crisis averted . if only the problems between us and our kids could be solved as easily . but they ca n't . the sooner you realize that , the sooner we can get on with our lives . victor : you and i have been married for over 30 years . you know i do n't give up . or do you keep forgetting ? charlie : look , you do know that textbook 's bigger than all your other ones put together ... is that just for show , or what ? charlie : i 'm surprised you even noticed . you still have n't put your eyeballs back in their sockets after staring at all the hot girls in their bikinis . charlie : you 're just jealous because i have a cool summer job . mattie : yeah , because sitting on a hard chair for hours with a whistle around your neck sounds so scintillating and demanding . charlie : yeah , and sitting in a chair with a book is ? cane : hey ! hey , guys . mattie : dad ! charlie : hey .

[ laughs ] kevin : [ laughs ] gloria : did you have fun in the park with daddy ? kevin : you should see her somersault , it 's perfect . gloria : of course it is . kevin : uh , esther , do you mind taking bella for a little bit ? esther : uh , sure . okay . come on , sweet girl . guess what ? i made your favorite cookies . yes ! gloria : what happened to you ? kevin : i was hiking . i do n't want to talk about it . and , mom , i was gon na tell you . gloria : oh , really ? when ? after you and bella were already in potterville ? kevin : portland . gloria : fine , whatever . what are you doing ? you 're a single father with a demanding job , and now you 're taking bella away from everybody she loves , and that includes two doting grandmothers , and yes , i do like to babysit ! kevin : if you care about me , mom , you 'll accept this . gloria : do n't you dare ! i care . i need an explanation i can live with . kevin : [ sighs ] you know , i 'm just tired of all the bad memories , mom . i come in here , and i think about the wedding that did n't happen . i think about chloe at crimson lights , at my apartment , at top of the tower where i proposed . i just want to forget it all and start fresh . gloria : uh - huh . liar . nikki : well , hello ! chelsea : oh , the dress looks perfect on you ! i should know , i designed it . nikki : oh , well , victor is a very good gift buyer , but as you can see by the hem , sometimes everything does n't go right . chelsea : well , that 's okay . i can fix that , no problem . my only concern was since this was a surprise and you did n't have any input in the design it would n't work , but i got to tell you , you look amazing . victor really does know you well . victor : how 's faith ? is she enjoying her camp ? nick : faith is fine . i did n't call you over here so we could talk about her . victor : then why am i here ? nick : we need to talk about this ludicrous concert . victor : this concert is not ludicrous , son . i know you hate my guts , but you show up at the concert on your best behavior . you will not ruin this event for your mother . nick : this concert is not for her , it 's for you . if you were n't so self- absorbed , you would see how miserable she is and cancel it . kevin : i 'm not lying . gloria : and i 'm your mother . esther may fall for that `` i need a change of scenery `` crap , but not me . you 're a creature of habit , kevin . any changes make you nuts . and those memories you say you ca n't dwell on -- you wallow in them ! kevin : that 's just it , mom ! i keep making the same mistake over and over again ! i married chloe two -- almost three times because i could n't move on , i could n't forget . any time i would try , it just would n't happen . and , yes , you 're right , i do like what 's comfortable and familiar , no matter how painful it is . but i do n't want bella to be like that . so i 'm gon na step outside my comfort zone and go someplace that is completely different than what i 'm used to . and maybe there , i 'll find some happiness . i think i 've earned that , do n't you ? victor : let me reiterate . your mother wants to perform . i 'm not twisting her arm , nor do i have ulterior motives . nick : yes , you do , and we both know what they are . victor : do you know that chelsea 's over there right now altering her dress ? if your mother had not wanted to perform tomorrow night , she would have told me so . nick : no . she would n't have . she does n't want to show you any weakness , dad . victor : son , your mother is not weak . she 's a strong woman who speaks her mind , to me and anyone else ! nick : that 's what you want to believe . victor : are you forgetting that your mother suffers from multiple sclerosis ? she wants to give this concert to help people who suffer the same dreadful disease . if i called off that concert now , she would be devastated . nick : well , it 's better emotional pain that physical . chelsea : and you 're done ! nikki : thank you so much . chelsea : my pleasure . nikki : it 's just exquisite . i ca n't wait to show it off tomorrow night . chelsea : well , i 'm so glad you like it . i will have to take it back to the studio with me , though , so i can stitch the new hem . nikki : oh , yeah , sure . let me , um ... let me try to just get this . it 's , um , a little loose . i - i do n't want to break it . chelsea : are you okay ? nikki : yeah . yeah . um ... chelsea : you know what ? let me . let me . i 'll do it . i 'll do it . nikki : okay . thanks . chelsea : it 's always easier when someone else does it , right ? nikki : yeah . neil : so now cane 's out of a job ? lily : yep . afraid so . neil : how could he let it get to this point ? he could have ended it the moment that the lawsuit was filed . lily : tell me about it . and then victoria could have settled for a lot less money and cane would still be employed . unfortunately , the part where he might be a father again would remain the same . neil : whoa . back up . `` might ? `` is there any doubt ? lily : juliet agreed to a paternity test , so we 'll find out soon enough . but if it turns out that cane did get her pregnant ... neil : what are you gon na do then ? lily : i do n't know . [ sighs ] i do n't know . i did n't think i would ever be in this situation . billy : i booked jordan for some new photo shoots with lily . i , uh , sent you the dates . they should be in your inbox . victoria : oh , great . thank you . i 'll take a look in a second . billy : was that conversation awkward earlier with lily ? victoria : well , it was n't exactly a party , but i 'm glad lily does n't hold a grudge against me for firing cane . billy : well , lily 's a smart woman . i think she understands it 's the only decision you could make . it seems like she 's moving past it already . i kind of respect her for that . victoria : yeah . me , too . billy : hey . silver lining -- we do n't have to deal with her obnoxious husband anymore . victoria : well , your dream come true is my nightmare because i had to let go a very valuable colleague who , despite what you say , did a lot of good for this company . the sad part is , the fallout has just started for lily and the kids . by the way , did i tell you that reed has a crush on their daughter ? billy : mattie ashby ? that is the mystery woman ? victoria : mm - hmm . he 's interested in her . although , he 's not sure how she feels about him . he says that he might take her to a movie sometime soon . billy : does reed know about mattie 's dad ? victoria : i had to tell him . i could n't hide that . billy : [ chuckles ] victoria : oh , no . billy : what ? victoria : just when i thought things could n't get any worse ... kevin : well , this is the last of it . it 's time for us to hit the road . can you be strong for me ? esther : i 'll try . i love you . kevin : i love you . esther : [ sniffles ] gloria : we were just getting closer , and you 're moving away . kevin : i will call , text . we can video chat as often as you like . gloria : mm - hmm . i 'm gon na miss you , sweetie . go see your grandma esther . esther : come here , honey . gloria : you remember -- i love you , angel . kevin : i know , mom . i love you , too . okay . all right . shall we ? gloria : mm - hmm . kevin : wave goodbye to your grandmas . esther : [ crying ] bye . love you . kevin : we love you , too . wow , that was harder than i thought it was gon na be , but it 's for the best . because you , mommy , and me -- we finally get to be a family . come here . oh , baby . neil : have you told charlie and mattie about the baby ? lily : no . the twins worship cane , and he 's a good father . if juliet 's wrong about the paternity , i do n't want their relationship to suffer . neil : how much does mattie and charlie know ? lily : they know that cane was accused of sexual harassment and that that victoria settled with the woman involved , but they do n't know any of the details . neil : it 's just as well . lily : i do n't know , i 'm just more worried about how to handle this if cane did get her pregnant . neil : with the kids or with you and cane ? lily : both . it 's obvious that our marriage has suffered . neil : you know , you , my dear , you have some very , very heavy decisions to make , and i sure hope you 're prepared to make them . cane : but i want you to keep your summer lifeguard money , okay ? and i want you to keep your plans to have your internship , all right ? we 're gon na be fine . do n't worry about it . we 're gon na be okay , all right ? charlie : yeah , but ... i still ca n't believe you got the ax ... mattie : me , neither . what was ms . newman thinking ? cane : look , i do n't know . sometimes in business , you have to make tough calls , you know , that are n't fair , but that 's just the way it goes , all right ? mattie : well , when mattie , inc . -- trademark pending -- is up and running , i 'm gon na hire you to run it for me . charlie : no , not even . look , he 's gon na be my manager when i 'm number - one draft pick . cane : actually , i kind of hope i get a job before then . [ laughter ] mattie : well , no matter what , dad , we know you did n't do anything wrong . charlie : yeah . look , she 's right . you got a raw deal , but we got your back . cane : come here . come here . what did i do , huh ? what did i do to get such wonderful kids ? billy : `` sales did not meet expectations for spring quarter . all divisions report losses . `` victoria : yes , that 's because we had to scrap the commercial and we had nothing in place promotion - wise when our competitors did . billy : you were dealing with factors beyond your control . victoria : yes , but these numbers prove the company 's in trouble , and i have to take sole responsibility for this , billy . billy : okay , this is one quarter , all right ? we can bounce back . we 'll do whatever it takes . i already said that i 'll work extra hours . victoria : yes , i know you said that , and i appreciate it , but this is on me . it 's my company and i have to figure out how to keep things afloat . [ door closes ] nikki : [ gasps ] oh ! victor , i did n't know you were back . victor : you still want to perform this concert ? nikki : you ask me this the day before ? victor : i just realize now that i encouraged you to do it without asking if you really wanted to do it , you know ? you went away to deal with the stress this obviously has put on you , so , uh , if you do n't want to perform , then , um , let 's call it off right now . i mean , we 'll just have a party , raise just as much money for m.s . research . nikki : where is this coming from ? victor : i thought you would enjoy giving a performance for a very good cause . for research into the dreadful disease of m.s . but it was too much . if it 's really stressing you out , then i 'll just call the dean , call it off . nikki : no , do n't you dare call . there was a time i would have let you , when i suspected that your motivations for putting on this event were to humiliate me , but now that you 've told me your true intent -- it does n't change anything between us , but i am gon na give this concert . not for you . not for us . for me . nick : how 'd it go with my mom ? chelsea : you were right . nick : about ? chelsea : nikki 's in a lot of pain . she tried to cover it up , but it 's -- it 's obvious . i saw it . nick : i just hate what my mom is going through to prove a point to my dad . and my dad thinks she 's so strong and noble ... chelsea : i think she just wants to prove herself to victor and to everybody else . nick : but at what cost ? i mean , what if performing in this concert triggers another serious flare - up ? chelsea : i know . i was thinking the same thing . nick : i just ca n't let my mom 's willfulness jeopardize her health . we got to stop this concert . i mean , my mom 's gon na be so angry at me , but i do n't care . for her sake , i ca n't let this happen . [ next_on ] hilary : what exactly did you want to talk to me about ? victor : the story that the audience actually would like to see . nikki : i am more than ready for tomorrow 's performance , and you are going to be there to hear it . jill : i do n't know how your family 's ever gon na recover from this . cane : i do n't know if we will .
cane tells lily that he and juliet are waiting on the results of the paternity tests . they agree not to tell mattie and charlie juliet is pregnant until they find out . cane also tells lily that victoria fired him and then asks her to forgive him , but lily does n't know if she can trust him again . victoria tells lily she still has her job if she wants it . lily is happy that she can keep her job . cane tells mattie and charlie that victoria fired him because of the lawsuit . kevin says emotional farewells to paul , gloria , and esther before leaving for his future with chloe , and they will finally be a happy family . nick asks victor to cancel the concert but he keeps his promise to nikki and does n't tell victoria about the flare up of her ms . chelsea notices stiffness in nikki 's hands when she is fixing the hem of her dress and tells nick that he was right , nikki is trying to hide her pain to prove to victor that she can do the concert . victor tells nikki that if the concert is causing her too much stress , they can cancel it . nikki says no that she will do the concert for herself and for charity but makes it clear that this wo n't change their relationship . nick tells chelsea that he will do whatever he has to to stop the concert , because he is worried that it will trigger another flare up of nikki 's illness .
<s>[INST] chelsea : bella ? what did you just say ? you 're going to see mommy ? kevin : she always -- she always says that . hey , you know what ? why do n't you go put this flower in the grass ? but stay where i can see you ! chelsea : kevin ... kevin : yeah ? chelsea : what is bella talking about ? why does she think chloe is still alive ? nick : well , it sounds like you 're having a lot of fun , kiddo . yeah . oh , i 'm way ahead of you . i sent it out a couple days ago . you got some cookies , gum , and comics coming . yep . but you got to promise me you 're gon na share that with your bunkmates , okay ? wait , what ? no -- faith , why would you have to come home ? no , no , no , no . grandma and grandpa understand that you 're at camp and you 're not gon na be able to make it to the concert . yes . it 's okay . uh , no . no , grandpa 's not found a new chess - playing partner , but i will , um ... i will tell him . yes . well , i really , really miss you , and i know you 're having fun , but i wish you were home . yeah . and i 'm for sure gon na give grandma a good- luck kiss from you . okay . i love you , too . bye . nikki : victor , you ... commissioned a chelsea 2.0 original for me to wear to the concert ? victor : i told you i had a surprise for you . nikki : and i told you that i did n't want any grand gestures . victor : since when has that ever stopped me ? nikki : victor , please . [ gasps ] it 's breathtaking . victor : i just thought that you deserve this , you know ? i mean , overcoming your m.s . to give this performance , that -- that is very courageous on your part . want me to put this on for you ? nikki : oh , no , no . i can do it . i can do it . thank you . victor : okay . lily : thanks for checking in , dad . neil : yeah , sure . no problem . how are things going ? lily : not great . victoria decided to settle . neil : you mean because of juliet 's pregnancy ? lily : yeah . i mean , it did n't make things magically go away , though . neil : i 'm so sorry to hear about that . lily : do you have any plans later ? i mean , i understand if you 're busy . neil : baby girl , i always have time for you . why do n't you meet me at the club ? i 'm meeting with the c.e.o . of a company that we just acquired . what do you say , about an hour - and - a - half from now ? [ door opens ] lily : yeah . yeah , that works . um , i got to go . i 'll see you soon . love you . hey . cane : hey . lily : mattie knows that something is wrong . she thinks you 're in trouble at work . i mean , she 's not the kind of girl you can fool and get away with it . cane : so , what 'd you say ? lily : i covered , but we have to tell them what 's going on . mattie wo n't stop until she knows the truth , and i want them to hear it from us . cane : can we just hold off just for a little bit if we can ? lily : why ? nothing 's gon na change . cane : well , that 's going to depend on , um ... juliet agreed to the paternity test , so i took her to get it done , and now we just have to wait to see who the father is . lily : so , you really think that you 're not the father ? cane : i do n't know . well , we 've been here before , have n't we ? lily : chloe . cane : yeah . she lied and let me think that delia was my daughter . i almost lost you . i 'm not gon na go through that again . lily : well , i really hope you 're right , that juliet is lying . it 'd be one less thing for us to deal with . cane : there 's another thing i should tell you . um ... victoria just fired me . billy : hey . victoria : hey . billy : what are you working on ? victoria : west coast profit - loss statement for the men 's line . billy : is n't that cane 's job ? victoria : cane does n't work here anymore . i terminated his employment . billy : you 're kidding , right ? victoria : do you think i would joke about something like that ? what , you did n't think i 'd have the nerve to do it , did you ? kevin : no . no . it 's nothing . chelsea : why does bella think she 's going to see chloe ? kevin : `` seeing mommy `` is what she says when we go to chloe 's grave . she knows her mom 's in heaven . chelsea : oh . kevin : i know a child psychiatrist would say that i 'm messing her up for life , i 'm sure , but i just -- i do n't have the heart to correct her . chelsea : i know , i 've dealt with the same issues . kevin : yeah , i 'm sure . you know , and when esther takes her to see chloe , she likes to talk to mommy . chelsea : yeah . i get it . sometimes late at night , after i 've put connor to bed , i hear him talking to adam . [ sighs ] although it does n't happen as often anymore , and that concerns me . i do n't want him to forget about his dad , you know ? i mean , i leave photos of adam all over his room , but ... kevin : it 's not the same . i know . chelsea : no . kevin : i 'm sorry , chelsea . if it was n't for chloe , we would n't be having this conversation . chelsea : it 's okay . i 'm -- i 'm okay , and i 'm moving forward , and i realized being angry is just not productive . i know you loved her a lot , kevin , and ... i know her death must be so hard on you . kevin : eh , do n't worry about me . [ clears throat ] i 'll get through it . chelsea : you know what we should do ? we should have a play date . for connor and bella . it 's been so long since the last one . kevin : yeah , um , well , we 're gon na have to take a rain check , and , unfortunately , it 's gon na be a while before we can cash it in . bella and i are moving to oregon . chelsea : what ? kevin : yeah . portland . we leave today . chelsea : you 're moving and you 're leaving today ? kevin : i ca n't deal with all the memories . i see chloe everywhere i go . it 's -- it 's time for a fresh start . i know that you get that . chelsea : i do , and ... i know that you will find the happiness that you deserve again . kevin : i finally think i will . victor : i think it looks beautiful . nikki : oh , victor ... the gown and the necklace , it 's just ... it 's too much . victor : no , it 's not . nikki : i know you want to go all - out for this charity benefit , but ... nothing has changed between the two of us . victor : i hope your time away did n't prevent you from practicing for the concert . nikki : no . not at all . in fact , it gave me more time to prepare . victor : good . i did n't mean to stress you in any way , you know ? nikki : what did you mean to do ? victor : i wanted you to have all the support , to make sure that you have a good concert . nikki : i 'm doing this concert to help everybody who has m.s . and to raise money for a cure . victor : all right . will you do one thing for me ? billy : you gave cane a free pass on all his other lies . i figured it 'd be the same with this one . victoria : well , you were mistaken . i ca n't and i wo n't abide an employee whose reckless behavior on company time put us in the middle of a devastating lawsuit . juliet cost us a small fortune . billy : hey , you do n't have to sell me on this , okay ? if it was me , i would have gotten rid of him a long time ago for a number of reasons . victoria : yeah , i know . well , now i have to make up for time lost due to all the many distractions minus two key employees and basically -- [ sighs ] i 'm screwed . billy : what do you need ? victoria : the willingness to work more hours than you already have , maybe give up your weekends , at least for a while . billy : done and done . lily : well , i ca n't really say i 'm surprised . given all the lies and the lawsuit , victoria did n't really have a choice . cane : i know . i know . but i 'm an asset to the company . i helped make it a success , you know ? i had this one little slip - up in japan , and that was resolved . god , if only victoria had fired billy ... lily : can you stop blaming everyone but yourself ? you 're the one who chose to get drunk and you chose to sleep with juliet and you chose to lie to everyone about it . cane : i did , did n't i ? i 'm sorry . i 'm ashamed of myself for what i 've done . i 'm ashamed for the way i 've hurt you . i 'm ashamed of the damage i 've done to our family . i 'm sorry . chelsea : hey ! nick : hey ! chelsea : um , so , i just bumped into kevin at the park . he and bella are moving . to oregon . like , today . nick : what ? why ? chelsea : he said he needed a fresh start . nick : well , i can understand , that , you know . fresh starts can be great . i got one with you . chelsea : i got one with you , too . nick : i really hope this move works out for kevin . chelsea : yeah . so do i. oh , i passed by chancellor pavilion on my way over . the place is bumpin ' . your father really went all - out for this benefit . i heard you were there . nick : yeah . i was . mom 's back , too , from her mysterious trip . chelsea : where was she ? nick : colorado . chelsea : what was she doing in colorado ? nick : she was getting some holistic therapy at this spa she likes . chelsea : why ? what 's wrong ? nick : well , uh , mom does n't want anyone to know this , but her m.s . flared up . chelsea : no ! oh , i 'm so sorry to hear that . did the therapy help ? nick : she claims it did . chelsea : `` she claims it did . `` so , what , you do n't believe her ? nick : you know , i saw her playing the piano . it seems like she 's in a lot of pain . chelsea : did you tell victor ? nick : no . chelsea : why did n't nikki tell him ? esther : oh , thank you for getting here so quickly . gloria : you were blubbering so much on the phone , i could n't understand a word you were saying . and it 's not like you 're the crying type , so i knew it was serious . so what 's wrong ? esther : it 's kevin and bella . gloria : what about them ? esther : they 're moving to oregon , just , out of nowhere ! gloria : oregon ? as in way out west 1,000 miles away ? that oregon ? esther : you have to talk him out of it . gloria : when did he tell you this ? esther : earlier today when he got back from his trip . which , by the way , he did n't even go to tahiti ! gloria : really ? i ca n't believe he did n't call to tell me he was back . or anything else . i 'm his mother . that 's shameful . esther : so , you can convince him to stay ? gloria : oh , yes , i will talk some sense into him . in fact , i will not leave this sofa until i do . kevin : thank you . okay , go have fun . stay close . paul : hey there . kevin : hi ! paul : what the hell happened to your face ? kevin : oh , uh ... i was hiking . there was a cliff . i do n't want to talk about it . paul : okay . did you get a new phone ? kevin : yeah , i was , uh , eligible for an upgrade . paul : huh . kevin : thanks for coming to meet me . paul : sure . i do n't know whether to shake your hand or , uh , shake some sense into you . kevin : why do you say that ? paul : why do you think ? you were mia . you never stepped foot in tahiti . you did n't answer your phone . i mean , nobody knew where you were . kevin : i 'm sorry about that . go ahead , shake me if you want . i had a last- minute change of plans . i did n't realize it was gon na turn into a game of `` where in the world is kevin fisher . `` paul : well , why not ? i mean , you 've got family and friends that love and care about you . kevin : yeah , i know . that makes what i 'm about to tell you , uh , difficult . cane : i 'm not gon na make excuses for myself anymore . look , i know that this sounds naive , but i truly did think that when victoria settled with juliet , this would just go away . lily : so , what happens now ? cane : well , victoria had juliet sign a non - disclosure agreement which means that she ca n't tell anybody about it , or she forfeits everything . and , uh ... it also means that what i did ca n't become public knowledge . lily : right , unless the baby is yours and becomes a part of our lives , and then your `` drunken mistake `` affects us for years . cane : hopefully , we 'll know the paternity test results soon . are you going to be able to trust me again ? lily : the only reason why i know that she spent the night in your hotel room is because i saw the security footage , and you only admitted to sleeping with her because she was pregnant . so i do n't know , cane . how am i supposed to trust you again ? cane : i see . lily : right , exactly . so when you figure that out , you can let me know . [ door closes ] paul : okay , i mean , you make some valid points as to why you 're leaving , but you 're talking about moving away from michael and lauren and taking bella from the only family that she has left . kevin : i think this is gon na be good for us . you never know till you try , right ? paul : [ sighs ] do you have a job lined up , or a place to live ? kevin , have you really thought about this ? kevin : no , yes , yes . there are plenty of tech jobs in portland . paul : so , this is it . you 're leaving today . not even gon na give me two weeks to find your replacement . kevin : i would , but -- i found this great little place . the landlord 's expecting me to pick up the keys by the 15th . if i do n't , somebody else gets it . how about this ? if you need me to , i 'll come back and train my replacement . paul : you 're sure about this , right ? kevin : as sure as anything . paul : you know , i never thought i 'd hear me say this , but ... i 'm really gon na miss you , kevin . nick : mom did n't know i was watching , but she has too much pride to admit that she 's in pain . nothing i would say could get her to skip the performance . i think she wants to do it just to prove to dad that she can do it , you know ? my dad 's put in a lot of work . she does n't want to feel like she let him down or the m.s . community . chelsea : well , would n't victor cancel the concert if he thought that this was a flare - up , if he thought nikki 's health was at risk ? nick : mom made me swear not to tell him . i mean , she says she 's okay . chelsea : listen , maybe she 's telling the truth . maybe she 's just a little sore because she 's out of practice . nick : yeah , that might be it . i also know my mom wants this concert to go well . [ sighs ] i just wish there was some way for her to avoid doing it without feeling like she was a quitter , you know ? what we need is a rain - out , like a torrential downpour , maybe some hail , a touch of lightning . chelsea : well , i hate to be the bearer of bad news , but i checked the weather , and tomorrow is supposed to be gorgeous , not a cloud in the sky . nick : huh . of course it is . chelsea : listen to me . trust your mom , nick . believe that she can handle this . it 's very sweet that you 're very protective , but nikki 's a strong - willed woman . she 'll make the right decision . nikki : well ? victor : stunning . nikki : it is . but as you can see , the hem -- i 'm worried that i might trip . victor : give me a minute . chelsea ? yes , victor . listen , um , the dress you made for nikki is absolutely beautiful , but it 's a little long , so -- yeah ? could you ? well , that 's very nice of you . thank you . appreciate it . here at the ranch . right . chelsea 's on the way over . nikki : you must be very pleased with yourself . make one phone call , crisis averted . if only the problems between us and our kids could be solved as easily . but they ca n't . the sooner you realize that , the sooner we can get on with our lives . victor : you and i have been married for over 30 years . you know i do n't give up . or do you keep forgetting ? charlie : look , you do know that textbook 's bigger than all your other ones put together ... is that just for show , or what ? charlie : i 'm surprised you even noticed . you still have n't put your eyeballs back in their sockets after staring at all the hot girls in their bikinis . charlie : you 're just jealous because i have a cool summer job . mattie : yeah , because sitting on a hard chair for hours with a whistle around your neck sounds so scintillating and demanding . charlie : yeah , and sitting in a chair with a book is ? cane : hey ! hey , guys . mattie : dad ! charlie : hey . ' sup ? cane : hey , stop giving your sister a hard time . charlie : yo , but she 's -- cane : no . charlie : she 's such a nerd ! i found her in the coffeehouse studying , and it 's summer ! mattie : i 'm not a nerd ! charlie : dad , can you explain what a nerd is ? mattie : shut up , charlie ! so , uh , dad , do n't worry about getting me that internship at brash & sassy ! i 'm gon na ask uncle devon and grandpa neil for one , if that 's okay with you . cane : okay , um , sit down for a sec . i need to tell you guys something . billy : what about a college tour to promote dare ? victoria : yeah , that 's not a bad idea . we really have n't focused on that demographic , so maybe we should . billy : that 's true . victoria : lily . hi . lily : hi . billy : have you talked to cane ? lily : yeah , he told me you fired him . victoria : i 'm sorry that it had to go down that way , but cane left me no choice . i hope you understand . lily : i just wanted to say that i 'm really sorry that cane 's mistakes have hurt brash & sassy ! and cost the company a lot of money . victoria : lily , you do n't need to apologize . i mean , you are the one who 's been most deeply affected by cane 's actions . lily : so , where do we go from here ? billy : well , we still want you to be the brand ambassador for the men 's line , if that 's what you 're asking . lily : yeah , it was . victoria : unless you think that would be too difficult to navigate at home . lily : no , no , no , no . no , i -- i love my job , and i 'm really excited to jump back in . victoria : i have a messenger coming to take cane 's personal things home , unless you 'd like to take them . lily : no , um , that 's okay . you can -- you can let the messenger do it . mattie : is this about the lawsuit ? i thought you said it was already settled . cane : yeah , no , it 's -- it 's settled , all right . charlie : so , that 's great news , right ? cane : well , you see , there 's um , some extenuating circumstances , and , uh ... victoria had to let me go . mattie : wait . she fired you ? that 's so not fair . charlie : how could she just dump you like that ? you -- cane : listen , mate , it 's her company , it 's her choice . she does what she wants . charlie : did you try to change her mind ? cane : yeah , i tried . mattie : [ sighs ] i 'm so sorry , dad . charlie : you 'll get a better job . mattie : way better . charlie : till then , we 'll chip in around here . mattie : yeah ! i 'll forget about my internship , get a job at the coffeehouse so that i can help out , too . gloria : oh ! there 's my beautiful granddaughter ! [ giggles ] come say hi to your beautiful grandmother . [ laughs ] kevin : [ laughs ] gloria : did you have fun in the park with daddy ? kevin : you should see her somersault , it 's perfect . gloria : of course it is . kevin : uh , esther , do you mind taking bella for a little bit ? esther : uh , sure . okay . come on , sweet girl . guess what ? i made your favorite cookies . yes ! gloria : what happened to you ? kevin : i was hiking . i do n't want to talk about it . and , mom , i was gon na tell you . gloria : oh , really ? when ? after you and bella were already in potterville ? kevin : portland . gloria : fine , whatever . what are you doing ? you 're a single father with a demanding job , and now you 're taking bella away from everybody she loves , and that includes two doting grandmothers , and yes , i do like to babysit ! kevin : if you care about me , mom , you 'll accept this . gloria : do n't you dare ! i care . i need an explanation i can live with . kevin : [ sighs ] you know , i 'm just tired of all the bad memories , mom . i come in here , and i think about the wedding that did n't happen . i think about chloe at crimson lights , at my apartment , at top of the tower where i proposed . i just want to forget it all and start fresh . gloria : uh - huh . liar . nikki : well , hello ! chelsea : oh , the dress looks perfect on you ! i should know , i designed it . nikki : oh , well , victor is a very good gift buyer , but as you can see by the hem , sometimes everything does n't go right . chelsea : well , that 's okay . i can fix that , no problem . my only concern was since this was a surprise and you did n't have any input in the design it would n't work , but i got to tell you , you look amazing . victor really does know you well . victor : how 's faith ? is she enjoying her camp ? nick : faith is fine . i did n't call you over here so we could talk about her . victor : then why am i here ? nick : we need to talk about this ludicrous concert . victor : this concert is not ludicrous , son . i know you hate my guts , but you show up at the concert on your best behavior . you will not ruin this event for your mother . nick : this concert is not for her , it 's for you . if you were n't so self- absorbed , you would see how miserable she is and cancel it . kevin : i 'm not lying . gloria : and i 'm your mother . esther may fall for that `` i need a change of scenery `` crap , but not me . you 're a creature of habit , kevin . any changes make you nuts . and those memories you say you ca n't dwell on -- you wallow in them ! kevin : that 's just it , mom ! i keep making the same mistake over and over again ! i married chloe two -- almost three times because i could n't move on , i could n't forget . any time i would try , it just would n't happen . and , yes , you 're right , i do like what 's comfortable and familiar , no matter how painful it is . but i do n't want bella to be like that . so i 'm gon na step outside my comfort zone and go someplace that is completely different than what i 'm used to . and maybe there , i 'll find some happiness . i think i 've earned that , do n't you ? victor : let me reiterate . your mother wants to perform . i 'm not twisting her arm , nor do i have ulterior motives . nick : yes , you do , and we both know what they are . victor : do you know that chelsea 's over there right now altering her dress ? if your mother had not wanted to perform tomorrow night , she would have told me so . nick : no . she would n't have . she does n't want to show you any weakness , dad . victor : son , your mother is not weak . she 's a strong woman who speaks her mind , to me and anyone else ! nick : that 's what you want to believe . victor : are you forgetting that your mother suffers from multiple sclerosis ? she wants to give this concert to help people who suffer the same dreadful disease . if i called off that concert now , she would be devastated . nick : well , it 's better emotional pain that physical . chelsea : and you 're done ! nikki : thank you so much . chelsea : my pleasure . nikki : it 's just exquisite . i ca n't wait to show it off tomorrow night . chelsea : well , i 'm so glad you like it . i will have to take it back to the studio with me , though , so i can stitch the new hem . nikki : oh , yeah , sure . let me , um ... let me try to just get this . it 's , um , a little loose . i - i do n't want to break it . chelsea : are you okay ? nikki : yeah . yeah . um ... chelsea : you know what ? let me . let me . i 'll do it . i 'll do it . nikki : okay . thanks . chelsea : it 's always easier when someone else does it , right ? nikki : yeah . neil : so now cane 's out of a job ? lily : yep . afraid so . neil : how could he let it get to this point ? he could have ended it the moment that the lawsuit was filed . lily : tell me about it . and then victoria could have settled for a lot less money and cane would still be employed . unfortunately , the part where he might be a father again would remain the same . neil : whoa . back up . `` might ? `` is there any doubt ? lily : juliet agreed to a paternity test , so we 'll find out soon enough . but if it turns out that cane did get her pregnant ... neil : what are you gon na do then ? lily : i do n't know . [ sighs ] i do n't know . i did n't think i would ever be in this situation . billy : i booked jordan for some new photo shoots with lily . i , uh , sent you the dates . they should be in your inbox . victoria : oh , great . thank you . i 'll take a look in a second . billy : was that conversation awkward earlier with lily ? victoria : well , it was n't exactly a party , but i 'm glad lily does n't hold a grudge against me for firing cane . billy : well , lily 's a smart woman . i think she understands it 's the only decision you could make . it seems like she 's moving past it already . i kind of respect her for that . victoria : yeah . me , too . billy : hey . silver lining -- we do n't have to deal with her obnoxious husband anymore . victoria : well , your dream come true is my nightmare because i had to let go a very valuable colleague who , despite what you say , did a lot of good for this company . the sad part is , the fallout has just started for lily and the kids . by the way , did i tell you that reed has a crush on their daughter ? billy : mattie ashby ? that is the mystery woman ? victoria : mm - hmm . he 's interested in her . although , he 's not sure how she feels about him . he says that he might take her to a movie sometime soon . billy : does reed know about mattie 's dad ? victoria : i had to tell him . i could n't hide that . billy : [ chuckles ] victoria : oh , no . billy : what ? victoria : just when i thought things could n't get any worse ... kevin : well , this is the last of it . it 's time for us to hit the road . can you be strong for me ? esther : i 'll try . i love you . kevin : i love you . esther : [ sniffles ] gloria : we were just getting closer , and you 're moving away . kevin : i will call , text . we can video chat as often as you like . gloria : mm - hmm . i 'm gon na miss you , sweetie . go see your grandma esther . esther : come here , honey . gloria : you remember -- i love you , angel . kevin : i know , mom . i love you , too . okay . all right . shall we ? gloria : mm - hmm . kevin : wave goodbye to your grandmas . esther : [ crying ] bye . love you . kevin : we love you , too . wow , that was harder than i thought it was gon na be , but it 's for the best . because you , mommy , and me -- we finally get to be a family . come here . oh , baby . neil : have you told charlie and mattie about the baby ? lily : no . the twins worship cane , and he 's a good father . if juliet 's wrong about the paternity , i do n't want their relationship to suffer . neil : how much does mattie and charlie know ? lily : they know that cane was accused of sexual harassment and that that victoria settled with the woman involved , but they do n't know any of the details . neil : it 's just as well . lily : i do n't know , i 'm just more worried about how to handle this if cane did get her pregnant . neil : with the kids or with you and cane ? lily : both . it 's obvious that our marriage has suffered . neil : you know , you , my dear , you have some very , very heavy decisions to make , and i sure hope you 're prepared to make them . cane : but i want you to keep your summer lifeguard money , okay ? and i want you to keep your plans to have your internship , all right ? we 're gon na be fine . do n't worry about it . we 're gon na be okay , all right ? charlie : yeah , but ... i still ca n't believe you got the ax ... mattie : me , neither . what was ms . newman thinking ? cane : look , i do n't know . sometimes in business , you have to make tough calls , you know , that are n't fair , but that 's just the way it goes , all right ? mattie : well , when mattie , inc . -- trademark pending -- is up and running , i 'm gon na hire you to run it for me . charlie : no , not even . look , he 's gon na be my manager when i 'm number - one draft pick . cane : actually , i kind of hope i get a job before then . [ laughter ] mattie : well , no matter what , dad , we know you did n't do anything wrong . charlie : yeah . look , she 's right . you got a raw deal , but we got your back . cane : come here . come here . what did i do , huh ? what did i do to get such wonderful kids ? billy : `` sales did not meet expectations for spring quarter . all divisions report losses . `` victoria : yes , that 's because we had to scrap the commercial and we had nothing in place promotion - wise when our competitors did . billy : you were dealing with factors beyond your control . victoria : yes , but these numbers prove the company 's in trouble , and i have to take sole responsibility for this , billy . billy : okay , this is one quarter , all right ? we can bounce back . we 'll do whatever it takes . i already said that i 'll work extra hours . victoria : yes , i know you said that , and i appreciate it , but this is on me . it 's my company and i have to figure out how to keep things afloat . [ door closes ] nikki : [ gasps ] oh ! victor , i did n't know you were back . victor : you still want to perform this concert ? nikki : you ask me this the day before ? victor : i just realize now that i encouraged you to do it without asking if you really wanted to do it , you know ? you went away to deal with the stress this obviously has put on you , so , uh , if you do n't want to perform , then , um , let 's call it off right now . i mean , we 'll just have a party , raise just as much money for m.s . research . nikki : where is this coming from ? victor : i thought you would enjoy giving a performance for a very good cause . for research into the dreadful disease of m.s . but it was too much . if it 's really stressing you out , then i 'll just call the dean , call it off . nikki : no , do n't you dare call . there was a time i would have let you , when i suspected that your motivations for putting on this event were to humiliate me , but now that you 've told me your true intent -- it does n't change anything between us , but i am gon na give this concert . not for you . not for us . for me . nick : how 'd it go with my mom ? chelsea : you were right . nick : about ? chelsea : nikki 's in a lot of pain . she tried to cover it up , but it 's -- it 's obvious . i saw it . nick : i just hate what my mom is going through to prove a point to my dad . and my dad thinks she 's so strong and noble ... chelsea : i think she just wants to prove herself to victor and to everybody else . nick : but at what cost ? i mean , what if performing in this concert triggers another serious flare - up ? chelsea : i know . i was thinking the same thing . nick : i just ca n't let my mom 's willfulness jeopardize her health . we got to stop this concert . i mean , my mom 's gon na be so angry at me , but i do n't care . for her sake , i ca n't let this happen . [ next_on ] hilary : what exactly did you want to talk to me about ? victor : the story that the audience actually would like to see . nikki : i am more than ready for tomorrow 's performance , and you are going to be there to hear it . jill : i do n't know how your family 's ever gon na recover from this . cane : i do n't know if we will .Summarize.[/INST]cane tells lily that he and juliet are waiting on the results of the paternity tests . they agree not to tell mattie and charlie juliet is pregnant until they find out . cane also tells lily that victoria fired him and then asks her to forgive him , but lily does n't know if she can trust him again . victoria tells lily she still has her job if she wants it . lily is happy that she can keep her job . cane tells mattie and charlie that victoria fired him because of the lawsuit . kevin says emotional farewells to paul , gloria , and esther before leaving for his future with chloe , and they will finally be a happy family . nick asks victor to cancel the concert but he keeps his promise to nikki and does n't tell victoria about the flare up of her ms . chelsea notices stiffness in nikki 's hands when she is fixing the hem of her dress and tells nick that he was right , nikki is trying to hide her pain to prove to victor that she can do the concert . victor tells nikki that if the concert is causing her too much stress , they can cancel it . nikki says no that she will do the concert for herself and for charity but makes it clear that this wo n't change their relationship . nick tells chelsea that he will do whatever he has to to stop the concert , because he is worried that it will trigger another flare up of nikki 's illness .</s>

edmund : no , you 're not . because if you were , cassie , you would n't be so hell- bent on avoiding the subject entirely . you 'd express your feelings to me , share them with the man you love . because you love me , right , cassie ? cassie : yes , edmund , i do , and that 's why i do n't need to do this . okay ? edmund : cassie , do n't think this is going to go away , because it 's not . it 's going to crop up again and again until it tears us apart . i mean , is that what you want , cassie ?

under no circumstances -- listen to me -- under no circumstances is our father allowed to hit you in the face . do you understand ? michelle : rick , look , he 's really upset about it , okay ? he is . and we 're over it . the whole thing is behind us . rick : no , we 're not going to do that . michelle : yes , rick . rick : we 're not . michelle : and you have to forget that we even had this discussion . rick : i ca n't do that , michelle . if we make excuses for him now , what is he going to do next ? michelle : rick , you 're not listening to me . there were extenuating circumstances . rick : there 's always extenuating circumstances for alcoholics , always excuses . that 's why they keep on drinking . michelle : he 's not drinking again . rick : something 's going on . so the three of us are going to sit down and we 're going to do deal with this today . michelle : no , rick . no , no . it 's going to only make things worse . please . rick : okay , fine . then what are we going to do , michelle ? michelle : i do n't know . i do n't know , okay ? i just have to think about it , okay ? and while i 'm thinking , you have to promise me something . rick : sorry , i do n't know if i can do that . michelle : rick , you have to promise me that you wo n't say anything to danny about this . danny can not know that dad did this to me . ross : ladies and gentlemen , i have lived and practiced law in springfield for over 20 years and each year , i have done extensive pro bono work for the courts and i currently serve on the board of several local charities . bill : laying it on thick , are n't we , ross ? ross : because of that , i have a greater understanding of the needs and concerns of all of our citizens , and i have the knowledge and the experience to make sure that those concerns will be heard . now , over the years , three times you have elected me to serve as your district attorney and i served each term with great pride . and i 'm honored to say that springfield overwhelmingly voted for me when i ran for the united states senate . ( cheers and applause ) bill : wow . one lousy senate race where you won and you gave up your seat . danny : ( sighs ) ross : it is with a great deal of pride and pleasure that i officially announce my candidacy for mayor of the great city of springfield . ( cheers and applause ) danny : look who 's standing to the left of ross : daggert and hodge . bill : those snakes . they said they were going to endorse you . danny : yeah , they said maybe . obviously they changed their minds . i 've seen enough . you know , daggert and hodge practically control the chamber of commerce . that 's a whole lot of support swinging towards ross . bill : danny , who cares ? that makes our job a little harder . big deal . danny : bill ... thank you . ross has friends on the state level , too . bill : well , you know what ? you 've got friends on the street and that , my friend , is where the voters are . danny : yeah . bill , listen . i really appreciate the loyalty that you 've shown . you 've been great . but if you want to bail out , now 's the time to say so , no hard feelings . bill : now , why would i do that ? danny : ( sighs ) well , for one thing , unlike me , you actually have a reputation to uphold . your last name commands some respect in this town . reva : well , i never . but there 's a first time for everything . come on . come on . ooh . ooh , this is so comfy . well , it 's a start . popcorn ? edmund : i had you under house arrest , you were in your suite . you managed to escape . i sent the guards out after you , but you got off the palace grounds , you made it down to the old beach road . cassie : it 's over , edmund . i do n't want to relive this . edmund : cassie , richard and noah and reva were waiting for you in the car , but they had no idea that my men were chasing you . come on . were you scared ? cassie , you must have been scared . cassie : okay , i was scared , edmund ! i was scared ! are you happy now ? edmund : were you scared of me ? cassie : i was scared of what you were capable of ! edmund : it 's the same thing . it 's the same thing , cassie . you and reva got into the car . you got behind the wheel . what were you thinking ? what were you thinking that exact moment ? cassie : that i have to get away . i had to get away . edmund : cassie ? cassie : i ca n't do this . edmund : you have to do this , cassie . we have to do this . please . cassie : why ? because it 's going to make you feel better ? you 're going to unload some guilt ? because this is about you and what you want , and you did n't give a damn about me back then , and you still do n't now . i was pregnant , for god 's sake . i had a life growing inside of me , and did you care ? no ! because you hunted me through the jungle like i was some kind of animal . edmund : yes , i did . bill : are you calling me a quitter , danny ? danny : no , bill , i 'm not calling you a quitter . bill : do you think i 'm afraid of a fight ? yes , ross marler will be a tough opponent , but all that means is the taste of victory will be that much sweeter when we do . danny : you mean ‘if ' we do . bill : no , i mean ‘when ' we do . now , come on , danny . you know that i have a personal stake in getting you elected . it 's , like , a pride thing for me . i have something to prove to my uncle josh and my dad that i can be a player on my own terms . danny : and eden , too . bill : sure . it never hurts to impress the girlfriend . but mostly , you want to know the real reason why i 've been working my butt off 24/7 for you ? because i think you 're going to make a fine mayor and together we can do a lot of good in this town -- at least that 's what i thought until you started talking like a wimp , like , `` i do n't know if i can win this campaign , because people are n't ... `` unless , of course , this whole thing has been a test . danny : maybe . bill : maybe ? danny : maybe . maybe . bill : yeah , well , if it is a test , did i pass ? can we get back to business ? danny : bill , i just need to make sure that your heart 's really in this , because it 's going to take everything we 've got and then some , if we 're going to beat ross marler . bill : well , whatever it takes , i am there . danny : okay , then . let the games begin . michelle : if danny knew about this , he 'd want to confront dad right away and he 'd just make things worse . rick : all right , i 'm not going to talk to danny , but i am going to talk to dad . not just about slapping you in the face , michelle , which is bad enough as it is . he 's been acting strange since long before the holidays , so we need to take care of this , we need to address it right now . i mean , michelle , we 're doctors . we hold people 's lives in our hands . we ca n't afford for dad to screw up . michelle : i know that , okay ? ( sighs ) i know . rick : what do you know ? what do you know ? michelle : look , the other day , dad almost gave shayne lewis the wrong meds . they were just pain meds , so it would n't have had an adverse effect . rick : that 's it , i 'm talking to him . i have to talk to him right now . michelle : okay , look , rick , just please ... just do n't mention this . just keep it on a professional level , okay ? rick : i 'm going to say what i have to say to get through to him . michelle : rick , do n't be hard on him . i 'm telling you , he 's in a lot of pain right now . rick : michelle , is there something you 're not telling me ? michelle : no ! rick : are you sure ? michelle : he 's just ... he 's just hurting , that 's all . rick : i 'm sorry . i 'm so sorry . you 're upset , you 've been through a lot . i want you to go home . your schedule 's ... michelle : no , i do n't need ... rick : i want you to ... michelle : i 'm fine . rick : i want you to take care of yourself . why do n't you go home and take it easy . i want you to stay away from dad for right now until we figure this thing out . okay ? michelle : okay . rick : all right . michelle : okay , but rick , you 've got to promise me about dad . rick : i love him too , michelle . i just want to help him . michelle : okay . rick : okay ? michelle : okay . rick : all right . nurse : dr. bauer ? sorry . in here , please . the emts brought her in . she fell through the ice on the river . it took 25 minutes to get her out . she lost consciousness on the way here . she 's got shallow , bilateral breath sounds with some wheezing at the bottom . bp is 85 over 50 . pulse is 45 . temperature is 32-point ... dr. bauer , she 's hypothermic . we have to bring up her core temp . i 'm just going to go to external warming -- if that 's okay ? dr. bauer ? dr. bauer ? reva : okay , so what 's the verdict ? something outrageously funny or outrageously scary or outrageously steamy ? ( laughs ) josh : why do n't you choose ? reva : you sure ? josh : yeah . like i said , i 'm very tired right now . i do n't know that i really care . reva : you know , i 'm a little tired , too . now , see ? this is much better than a movie . josh : yes , it is . so , um , are you going to go back to the hospital later and be with shayne ? reva : i do n't think so . he made it pretty clear that he needed some time alone . and i do n't want to push him . i do n't want to give him a whole lot of room , either . josh : it must be difficult for you , seeing him so ... reva : depressed . because that 's what it is , he 's depressed . not that he does n't have reason to be . josh : he 's always been so positive about everything in his life . but he 'll be okay . he 's just a little disheartened . he 'll bounce back . he always does . what is it ? reva : maybe that 's what i saw . josh : you saw when ? reva : the other day at the hospital , i had a vision or a whatever . and i thought i was seeing shayne , but then it turned out to be you , and i 'm thinking maybe i replaced you with him because of the burden that you 've been carrying since shayne 's accident , emotionally . josh : what exactly did you see ? reva : swirling water . someone drowning . edmund : come on , cassie . keep going . cassie : no , edmund . edmund : all right . if you wo n't , i will . i was furious that you 'd gotten out of the palace , i was furious that you escaped , so i went after you with my men . not to harm you , but to bring you back -- to bring you back . edmund : i have a roadblock in place . all right , they 're coming . they 're heading straight for us . be careful , i do n't want any mishaps . edmund : not that my intentions matter at this juncture -- nor should they ; the end result is still the same -- but the important thing , cassie , is that you thought i would do you harm and i had never given you any reason to think otherwise . cassie : you were ... you were waving your arms , edmund . edmund : to get you to stop . cassie : yes . but your men , they had guns in their hands . edmund : yes , they did . cassie : and they were pointed at us . edmund : you had no reason to think anything other than the worst of me , cassie . but still , to me -- to me -- i could n't believe that you would n't stop . i had no idea that you were that scared of me , that you were that desperate , that ... cassie : why ? edmund : why ? why did i do such a selfish , disgusting thing ? because ... cassie : why was i in the car , edmund ? why was i driving the car ? edmund : what ? cassie : you said yourself that you did n't want to hurt me and you were trying to get me to slow down , and then after the crash ... ... you risked your own life to save me . i would have died in that accident if it were n't for you . edmund : cassie , no . cassie : and then you made sure reva and i were rushed to the hospital . edmund : cassie ... cassie : it was n't your fault , edmund . edmund : yes , it was my fault . cassie : all the time , i have been blaming you , but it was n't your fault . edmund : cassie ... cassie , you 're looking at this whole thing all wrong . cassie : no , i 'm not ! edmund , look . i was eight months pregnant and i climbed out of the window in the palace . i was running through the jungle from palace guards . edmund : cassie , i sent them after you . cassie : did you tell me to get behind the wheel , edmund ? did you ? did you make me drive the car ? why did n't i let reva drive the car if i was so concerned about my child ? i was driving 70 miles an hour and i looked up and i saw the roadblock and i saw these guns pointed at me and i just freaked ! edmund : cassie , do n't do this to yourself . please , it 's not ... cassie : no , because if you want to get to the truth , then let 's get to the truth ! i am responsible for my baby boy being dead . i am just as responsible as you are . edmund : cassie , darling , please . please , just listen . cassie : why did n't i stop the car ? why did n't i stop the car , edmund ? i mean , if i would have , my baby would have been alive right now . i loved him so much and it was my job to protect him , and if i would have done what i should have done ... edmund : cassie , please , please , do n't do this to yourself . please ... i beg you , cassie , do n't . just stop . just , please , listen to me . listen to me , listen to me . you did n't do anything . you did n't do anything except react with stress and fear to events that i set in motion . cassie : oh , but edmund ... edmund : cassie , listen to me . listen to me . you did n't do anything . it was my fault . i did it . everything was my fault . you ca n't turn this around and let me off the hook , cassie , you ca n't . because i did it . you have to let me accept the blame . please , cassie , just let me accept the blame . nurse : dr. bauer , her bp is dropping . she 's going to go into arrest . can you get me some help here , please ? rick : i 'll take care of this . nurse : oh , thank god . rick : what have you got ? nurse : near drowning victim . she 's hypotensive and bradycardic . rick : temp ? nurse : 31.2 . rick : tympanic ? nurse : yes . rick : all right . can she breathe by herself ? nurse : yeah . rick : any other visible injuries ? nurse : no . rick : all right , i want you to call respiratory inhalation , rewarming , warming at 150 per hour , do the usual admitting bloods -- abg and serum k. notify the icu right away . nurse : you want to prep for a warm gastric lavage ? rick : no , let 's just keep with the warm blanket , all right ? i want you to monitor her core temperature , okay ? nurse : okay . rick : all right , what just happened there ? are you all right ? ed : uh ... i 'm not feeling very well . maybe you could cover for me . rick : i 'll cover for you right now , but that 's where it ends . i do n't know what 's going on with you and i have n't pried , but when whatever 's going on with you interferes with your judgment and puts people 's lives on the line , that 's where i draw the line . ed : i just told you , i 'm not feeling very well . rick : physically ? what else is going on with you , dad ? ed : i do n't want to talk about it . rick : no , we are going to talk about it . first , you have my compromise my principles by running a fingerprint test for you . and then you almost give somebody the wrong meds , and then you hit michelle in the face . what the hell is wrong with you ? reva : what is it ? what 's wrong ? you look like you just saw a ghost . josh : it just ... it freaks me out , that 's all . you just said you saw a vision of me drowning . reva : well , yeah , but it was n't literal . josh : are you sure about that ? reva : well , i ... the more i think about it , the more i really think it 's just a metaphor . josh : maybe . ( laughs nervously ) maybe i 'll just avoid water for a few days , just in case . reva : joshua , do you feel like you 're drowning because of what 's going on with shayne ? or because of something else that 's going on ? josh : i 'm just a little overwhelmed right now . reva : okay . you want to talk about it ? josh : i thought that 's what we were doing . are n't we talking about it right now ? reva : yeah . okay . just know , joshua , that i 'm here for you , bud . always . i can be your lifeline , if that 's what you want . just grab hold . josh : what if i pull you down with me ? reva : at least we 'll be together . ( danny and bill talking quietly ) michelle : well , you guys are going to have to cancel all my photo shoots next week , unless black and blue is suddenly trendy . danny : what the hell happened to you ? michelle : oh , uh , a freaked - out patient came into the er and i guess i reminded him of somebody . danny : when ? when did this happen ? michelle : last night . danny : why did n't you tell me then ? michelle : well you , you know , you got home so late and you were so exhausted and i really did n't think it was that big of a deal until i woke up this morning and i saw this . danny : do you need some ice for that ? michelle : no , no . i 'll do that when i get home . bill : well , how do you want to spin this ? `` do - gooder wife takes it literally on the chin ? `` michelle : no , no , no , bill . no spin , really . do n't mention it , period . okay ? bill : people are going to notice . what are you going to say to them ? they 're going to ask . michelle : nobody 's going to notice . i 'm going to put makeup on it , cover it up . ( cell phone rings ) bill : uh , excuse me , guys . i 've got to take this , okay ? danny : i do n't believe this . what happened to the guy who hit you ? did hospital security lock him up ? michelle : no , danny . he was a troubled person . he really could n't help himself . danny : man , i was worried about you working at the hot - line . does it hurt ? looks like it hurts . michelle : nothing that a kiss from you wo n't make better . danny : okay . i 'll be gentle . oh , poor baby . i 'll tell you what , once bill gets off the phone , why do n't we just get out of here and go home , okay ? michelle : oh , i like the sound of that . danny : me , too . me , too . you know , i never knew what a real home was until i met you . michelle : you know , i feel the same way , danny . the life we lead together , it just , it means everything to me . ed : all right , look . i mean , i was wrong to hit michelle . i make no excuses for that . but i do n't owe you or anyone else an explanation , rick . rick : stop this . i love you . so , whatever 's bothering you , you need to share it with me so we can deal with it and deal with it right now . ed : what has michelle told you ? rick : nothing . ed : come on , she 's told you something . what ? rick : she told me that you slapped her in the face and that she 's worried about you . ed : so just leave it be . rick : are you drinking ? ed : i am not drinking . rick : would you tell me if you were drinking ? ed : why do n't you believe me ? do you want to take a blood alcohol test right now ? come on . you want to do it ? let 's go . rick : dad , stop this . just stop this . ed : stop what ? you do n't want me to be angry ? to be hurt ? that my own son doubts my word . do n't worry about it , i 'm not . i 'll tell you what i am , though : i am tired and i 'm worn - out and i am sick of being interrogated by my own children . and if some stinking blood test is going to put an end to that , come on , let 's do it . take my blood , rick . rick : do n't do this here . do n't do this . why ca n't you tell me what 's wrong with you ? why ca n't you do that ? i 'm your son . ed : because i do n't want to . and that 's my right . rick : i am your son . what could possibly be so wrong that you ca n't share it with me ? ed : this conversation is over ! reva : i 've waited for this for so long . you 've been pulling away from me and i missed you . josh : we ca n't do this right now . reva : no , it 's fine . josh : no , no , this is not a good time , reva . reva : well , then , let 's just concentrate on us . josh : no . i really think you should go . danny : what 's the matter ? michelle : nothing . nothing . i 've just been thinking about a lot of stuff lately . danny : stuff ? what kind of stuff ? michelle : family and what it means . danny : what brought all this on ? the holidays ? the holidays . michelle : you know , you have this perfect image of what a family 's supposed to look like . but they come in all shapes and sizes now and i guess what really matters is just the love and the respect and the trust . and if you have that , you have everything . and if you do n't ... danny : yeah , if you do n't , you wind up with a mother like mine and spend the rest of your life trying to get past it . michelle : we really have gotten past it , danny . danny : you know why ? because of you and robbie . and you know what i want to do right now ? michelle : what ? danny : go home and be with our son . give him dinner and a bath and read him his favorite bedtime book for the hundredth time , tuck him in and then cuddle up by the fire with my favorite lady in the whole world for the rest of the night . how 's that sound to you ? michelle : it sounds perfect . cassie : well , we emptied the box . i guess that 's a record . edmund : sorry . cassie : no , do n't be . we needed to deal with this and i need to bear some responsibility . edmund : cassie , do n't . cassie : no , edmund , come on . i 'm not perfect , you know ? edmund : close . cassie : no . and you know what ? i have a bit of a confession . edmund : oh , goodie . confessions are good for the soul . cassie : when we all found out who sandy was , i was happy for reva , but i was a little jealous , too . i mean , she got back her son that she had with richard , and it 's never going to happen for me . kind of petty , huh ? edmund : well , about as petty as richard offering me an olive branch and me turning it down right before he died . cassie : you know , i think that 's worse . edmund : thanks . cassie : i guess we 're human , huh ? edmund : yeah . afraid so . god , i just remember at the hospital , when richard found out about the baby . the look on his face . cassie : you were there , huh ? did , um ... edmund : what ? cassie : no , never mind . i do n't want to talk about it anymore . i just want to be here with you . ( sighs ) reva : well ! ( laughs ) i believe that 's the first time you 've ever turned me down . josh : it 's not about ... reva : about me . i know , i know that . you keep saying that , but you wo n't tell me what it is about . josh : reva , i ... i want to be with you . i want to make love to you . and i wish that that would just fix everything that we did that ... reva : fix what ? fix what ? is it something else ? just talk to me . talk to me , joshua . or not . okay , you know , this was wrong . this was a big mistake , i know that , coming here , uninvited . i mean , i pushed myself and this is what i get for it , you know ? hey , you know what ? they say that a little humiliation can be a positive experience . josh : reva . reva ... reva : it 's all right . i 'm fine . i am . but i 'm just a little worried about you . i am . if you want to talk about anything , i 'm a phone call away . josh : okay . what about the ... reva : ( laughs ) we 'll save it . josh : okay . reva : for the next time . josh : next , on guiding light jeffrey : there was nothing wrong with that marah , you know ? there 's nothing wrong with something that 's real , honest , something that comes from the heart . marah : but wait a minute , i thought that what we had had nothing to do with our hearts . eden : here . i have a little parting gift for you .
edmund forces cassie to look backwards in time , to the night of the accident when she lost her baby . at first resistant to the memories flooding upon her , cassie grows more emotional remembering against her will details of the frightening night she drove the car off the road . edmund makes clear to her that he never meant to harm her . cassie , to his growing horror , starts to blame herself , realizing that her own reckless driving and defiant attitude during a high - risk pregnancy were contributing causes . she asks his forgiveness for having been so sanctimonious in scapegoating him and edmund freely gives it . after the talk they are more at peace , but cassie asks edmund if he was at the hospital the night the baby miscarried ? he wonders why she 's asking but she hides the hidden thought with `` no reason . `` reva shows up at josh 's hotel room with a comfort basket of videos and movie snack food . josh is surprised to see her and , out of loyalty to his men friends , resists her company . but she charms her way past his many defenses and is cuddling in his arms when she shares with him the vision she had recently of his drowning . josh now remembers his need to keep her at a distance , and resists her attempted seduction . reva exits with dignity , but it is only when alone in the hall do we see how devastated she is by this turn of events .
<s>[INST] reva : hey . what 's with the `` privacy , please `` sign ? josh : i was sleeping . why are you here ? reva : well , just think of me as your personal room service . ( laughs ) i have a bottle of barola . i have popcorn , and i have three new dvd releases . one comedy , one drama , scary movie and one that tends to be a little steamy . josh : reva ... reva : do n't say ‘no . ' please do n't say to ‘no ' to any of this . to this stuff , to me , because i really do n't think i can handle another disappointment today . rick : hey . michelle : hey . rick : run another serum calcium on mr. goldwin in room 12 . and just check those levels later on for me . michelle : sure , sure . right away . rick : hey . what 's going on with your face ? michelle : hmm ? rick : how 'd you get that bruise on your face ? michelle : what , this ? oh , please , it 's nothing . rick : no , no , i 'll be the judge of that , young lady . michelle : no , rick , it 's really nothing . rick : come here under the lights so i can take a look at this . this looks like somebody punched you in the face about 24 hours ago . michelle : a homeless patient was admitted last night and he was schizophrenic , he was off his meds . i guess he saw me coming towards him in my white coat and i just ... rick : you 're lying . try again . michelle : excuse me ? i 'm not lying . rick : michelle , you 're lying . you 're biting your bottom lip , you 've done it ever since you were seven - years - old . so let 's try again . how did you get the bruise on your face ? the truth this time . michelle : i just told you . i just told you . why would i lie ? rick : that 's what i 'm trying to find -- michelle : who else would possibly hit me ? rick : well , that 's what i 'm trying to find out . did ... did danny hit you in the face ? michelle : no . why would you even think that ? rick : well , if it was n't danny , who the hell hit you in the face ? michelle : okay , it was dad . all right , dad . dad hit me . cassie : if i start talking about what happened ... edmund : about how you lost the baby . cassie : ... i 'm afraid i 'm going to say something that i ca n't take back . losing a baby is n't something you just get over . edmund : that 's my point exactly . cassie : but i do n't blame you , edmund . you know , i 'm like over that , okay ? edmund : no , you 're not . because if you were , cassie , you would n't be so hell- bent on avoiding the subject entirely . you 'd express your feelings to me , share them with the man you love . because you love me , right , cassie ? cassie : yes , edmund , i do , and that 's why i do n't need to do this . okay ? edmund : cassie , do n't think this is going to go away , because it 's not . it 's going to crop up again and again until it tears us apart . i mean , is that what you want , cassie ? cassie : no . i just want some air right now . edmund : no , cassie . is that what you want ? cassie : edmund , please stop ! i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry , i did n't mean to do that . i ... edmund : yes . yes , you did . you did , cassie . because as much as you may love me , you hate me , too . that 's why we have to face this . cassie , we have to confront what happened to you and your baby that night -- we have to -- and the part i played in it . rick : excuse me . excuse me . why would dad hit you ? michelle : look , it was n't his fault , rick , okay ? i provoked him . you know how stressed he 's been and i was questioning him about something that was very personal and painful . rick : did you ask him if he was drinking again ? michelle : that was ... that was part of it , and he denied it . rick : uh - huh . and you did n't believe him , right ? michelle : i just ... i thought that he was hiding something from me so i kept digging at him , just way past where i should have , and he just could n't take it anymore . rick : michelle . michelle , sweetie , listen to me . i do n't care how much you got him upset , okay ? under no circumstances -- listen to me -- under no circumstances is our father allowed to hit you in the face . do you understand ? michelle : rick , look , he 's really upset about it , okay ? he is . and we 're over it . the whole thing is behind us . rick : no , we 're not going to do that . michelle : yes , rick . rick : we 're not . michelle : and you have to forget that we even had this discussion . rick : i ca n't do that , michelle . if we make excuses for him now , what is he going to do next ? michelle : rick , you 're not listening to me . there were extenuating circumstances . rick : there 's always extenuating circumstances for alcoholics , always excuses . that 's why they keep on drinking . michelle : he 's not drinking again . rick : something 's going on . so the three of us are going to sit down and we 're going to do deal with this today . michelle : no , rick . no , no . it 's going to only make things worse . please . rick : okay , fine . then what are we going to do , michelle ? michelle : i do n't know . i do n't know , okay ? i just have to think about it , okay ? and while i 'm thinking , you have to promise me something . rick : sorry , i do n't know if i can do that . michelle : rick , you have to promise me that you wo n't say anything to danny about this . danny can not know that dad did this to me . ross : ladies and gentlemen , i have lived and practiced law in springfield for over 20 years and each year , i have done extensive pro bono work for the courts and i currently serve on the board of several local charities . bill : laying it on thick , are n't we , ross ? ross : because of that , i have a greater understanding of the needs and concerns of all of our citizens , and i have the knowledge and the experience to make sure that those concerns will be heard . now , over the years , three times you have elected me to serve as your district attorney and i served each term with great pride . and i 'm honored to say that springfield overwhelmingly voted for me when i ran for the united states senate . ( cheers and applause ) bill : wow . one lousy senate race where you won and you gave up your seat . danny : ( sighs ) ross : it is with a great deal of pride and pleasure that i officially announce my candidacy for mayor of the great city of springfield . ( cheers and applause ) danny : look who 's standing to the left of ross : daggert and hodge . bill : those snakes . they said they were going to endorse you . danny : yeah , they said maybe . obviously they changed their minds . i 've seen enough . you know , daggert and hodge practically control the chamber of commerce . that 's a whole lot of support swinging towards ross . bill : danny , who cares ? that makes our job a little harder . big deal . danny : bill ... thank you . ross has friends on the state level , too . bill : well , you know what ? you 've got friends on the street and that , my friend , is where the voters are . danny : yeah . bill , listen . i really appreciate the loyalty that you 've shown . you 've been great . but if you want to bail out , now 's the time to say so , no hard feelings . bill : now , why would i do that ? danny : ( sighs ) well , for one thing , unlike me , you actually have a reputation to uphold . your last name commands some respect in this town . reva : well , i never . but there 's a first time for everything . come on . come on . ooh . ooh , this is so comfy . well , it 's a start . popcorn ? edmund : i had you under house arrest , you were in your suite . you managed to escape . i sent the guards out after you , but you got off the palace grounds , you made it down to the old beach road . cassie : it 's over , edmund . i do n't want to relive this . edmund : cassie , richard and noah and reva were waiting for you in the car , but they had no idea that my men were chasing you . come on . were you scared ? cassie , you must have been scared . cassie : okay , i was scared , edmund ! i was scared ! are you happy now ? edmund : were you scared of me ? cassie : i was scared of what you were capable of ! edmund : it 's the same thing . it 's the same thing , cassie . you and reva got into the car . you got behind the wheel . what were you thinking ? what were you thinking that exact moment ? cassie : that i have to get away . i had to get away . edmund : cassie ? cassie : i ca n't do this . edmund : you have to do this , cassie . we have to do this . please . cassie : why ? because it 's going to make you feel better ? you 're going to unload some guilt ? because this is about you and what you want , and you did n't give a damn about me back then , and you still do n't now . i was pregnant , for god 's sake . i had a life growing inside of me , and did you care ? no ! because you hunted me through the jungle like i was some kind of animal . edmund : yes , i did . bill : are you calling me a quitter , danny ? danny : no , bill , i 'm not calling you a quitter . bill : do you think i 'm afraid of a fight ? yes , ross marler will be a tough opponent , but all that means is the taste of victory will be that much sweeter when we do . danny : you mean ‘if ' we do . bill : no , i mean ‘when ' we do . now , come on , danny . you know that i have a personal stake in getting you elected . it 's , like , a pride thing for me . i have something to prove to my uncle josh and my dad that i can be a player on my own terms . danny : and eden , too . bill : sure . it never hurts to impress the girlfriend . but mostly , you want to know the real reason why i 've been working my butt off 24/7 for you ? because i think you 're going to make a fine mayor and together we can do a lot of good in this town -- at least that 's what i thought until you started talking like a wimp , like , `` i do n't know if i can win this campaign , because people are n't ... `` unless , of course , this whole thing has been a test . danny : maybe . bill : maybe ? danny : maybe . maybe . bill : yeah , well , if it is a test , did i pass ? can we get back to business ? danny : bill , i just need to make sure that your heart 's really in this , because it 's going to take everything we 've got and then some , if we 're going to beat ross marler . bill : well , whatever it takes , i am there . danny : okay , then . let the games begin . michelle : if danny knew about this , he 'd want to confront dad right away and he 'd just make things worse . rick : all right , i 'm not going to talk to danny , but i am going to talk to dad . not just about slapping you in the face , michelle , which is bad enough as it is . he 's been acting strange since long before the holidays , so we need to take care of this , we need to address it right now . i mean , michelle , we 're doctors . we hold people 's lives in our hands . we ca n't afford for dad to screw up . michelle : i know that , okay ? ( sighs ) i know . rick : what do you know ? what do you know ? michelle : look , the other day , dad almost gave shayne lewis the wrong meds . they were just pain meds , so it would n't have had an adverse effect . rick : that 's it , i 'm talking to him . i have to talk to him right now . michelle : okay , look , rick , just please ... just do n't mention this . just keep it on a professional level , okay ? rick : i 'm going to say what i have to say to get through to him . michelle : rick , do n't be hard on him . i 'm telling you , he 's in a lot of pain right now . rick : michelle , is there something you 're not telling me ? michelle : no ! rick : are you sure ? michelle : he 's just ... he 's just hurting , that 's all . rick : i 'm sorry . i 'm so sorry . you 're upset , you 've been through a lot . i want you to go home . your schedule 's ... michelle : no , i do n't need ... rick : i want you to ... michelle : i 'm fine . rick : i want you to take care of yourself . why do n't you go home and take it easy . i want you to stay away from dad for right now until we figure this thing out . okay ? michelle : okay . rick : all right . michelle : okay , but rick , you 've got to promise me about dad . rick : i love him too , michelle . i just want to help him . michelle : okay . rick : okay ? michelle : okay . rick : all right . nurse : dr. bauer ? sorry . in here , please . the emts brought her in . she fell through the ice on the river . it took 25 minutes to get her out . she lost consciousness on the way here . she 's got shallow , bilateral breath sounds with some wheezing at the bottom . bp is 85 over 50 . pulse is 45 . temperature is 32-point ... dr. bauer , she 's hypothermic . we have to bring up her core temp . i 'm just going to go to external warming -- if that 's okay ? dr. bauer ? dr. bauer ? reva : okay , so what 's the verdict ? something outrageously funny or outrageously scary or outrageously steamy ? ( laughs ) josh : why do n't you choose ? reva : you sure ? josh : yeah . like i said , i 'm very tired right now . i do n't know that i really care . reva : you know , i 'm a little tired , too . now , see ? this is much better than a movie . josh : yes , it is . so , um , are you going to go back to the hospital later and be with shayne ? reva : i do n't think so . he made it pretty clear that he needed some time alone . and i do n't want to push him . i do n't want to give him a whole lot of room , either . josh : it must be difficult for you , seeing him so ... reva : depressed . because that 's what it is , he 's depressed . not that he does n't have reason to be . josh : he 's always been so positive about everything in his life . but he 'll be okay . he 's just a little disheartened . he 'll bounce back . he always does . what is it ? reva : maybe that 's what i saw . josh : you saw when ? reva : the other day at the hospital , i had a vision or a whatever . and i thought i was seeing shayne , but then it turned out to be you , and i 'm thinking maybe i replaced you with him because of the burden that you 've been carrying since shayne 's accident , emotionally . josh : what exactly did you see ? reva : swirling water . someone drowning . edmund : come on , cassie . keep going . cassie : no , edmund . edmund : all right . if you wo n't , i will . i was furious that you 'd gotten out of the palace , i was furious that you escaped , so i went after you with my men . not to harm you , but to bring you back -- to bring you back . edmund : i have a roadblock in place . all right , they 're coming . they 're heading straight for us . be careful , i do n't want any mishaps . edmund : not that my intentions matter at this juncture -- nor should they ; the end result is still the same -- but the important thing , cassie , is that you thought i would do you harm and i had never given you any reason to think otherwise . cassie : you were ... you were waving your arms , edmund . edmund : to get you to stop . cassie : yes . but your men , they had guns in their hands . edmund : yes , they did . cassie : and they were pointed at us . edmund : you had no reason to think anything other than the worst of me , cassie . but still , to me -- to me -- i could n't believe that you would n't stop . i had no idea that you were that scared of me , that you were that desperate , that ... cassie : why ? edmund : why ? why did i do such a selfish , disgusting thing ? because ... cassie : why was i in the car , edmund ? why was i driving the car ? edmund : what ? cassie : you said yourself that you did n't want to hurt me and you were trying to get me to slow down , and then after the crash ... ... you risked your own life to save me . i would have died in that accident if it were n't for you . edmund : cassie , no . cassie : and then you made sure reva and i were rushed to the hospital . edmund : cassie ... cassie : it was n't your fault , edmund . edmund : yes , it was my fault . cassie : all the time , i have been blaming you , but it was n't your fault . edmund : cassie ... cassie , you 're looking at this whole thing all wrong . cassie : no , i 'm not ! edmund , look . i was eight months pregnant and i climbed out of the window in the palace . i was running through the jungle from palace guards . edmund : cassie , i sent them after you . cassie : did you tell me to get behind the wheel , edmund ? did you ? did you make me drive the car ? why did n't i let reva drive the car if i was so concerned about my child ? i was driving 70 miles an hour and i looked up and i saw the roadblock and i saw these guns pointed at me and i just freaked ! edmund : cassie , do n't do this to yourself . please , it 's not ... cassie : no , because if you want to get to the truth , then let 's get to the truth ! i am responsible for my baby boy being dead . i am just as responsible as you are . edmund : cassie , darling , please . please , just listen . cassie : why did n't i stop the car ? why did n't i stop the car , edmund ? i mean , if i would have , my baby would have been alive right now . i loved him so much and it was my job to protect him , and if i would have done what i should have done ... edmund : cassie , please , please , do n't do this to yourself . please ... i beg you , cassie , do n't . just stop . just , please , listen to me . listen to me , listen to me . you did n't do anything . you did n't do anything except react with stress and fear to events that i set in motion . cassie : oh , but edmund ... edmund : cassie , listen to me . listen to me . you did n't do anything . it was my fault . i did it . everything was my fault . you ca n't turn this around and let me off the hook , cassie , you ca n't . because i did it . you have to let me accept the blame . please , cassie , just let me accept the blame . nurse : dr. bauer , her bp is dropping . she 's going to go into arrest . can you get me some help here , please ? rick : i 'll take care of this . nurse : oh , thank god . rick : what have you got ? nurse : near drowning victim . she 's hypotensive and bradycardic . rick : temp ? nurse : 31.2 . rick : tympanic ? nurse : yes . rick : all right . can she breathe by herself ? nurse : yeah . rick : any other visible injuries ? nurse : no . rick : all right , i want you to call respiratory inhalation , rewarming , warming at 150 per hour , do the usual admitting bloods -- abg and serum k. notify the icu right away . nurse : you want to prep for a warm gastric lavage ? rick : no , let 's just keep with the warm blanket , all right ? i want you to monitor her core temperature , okay ? nurse : okay . rick : all right , what just happened there ? are you all right ? ed : uh ... i 'm not feeling very well . maybe you could cover for me . rick : i 'll cover for you right now , but that 's where it ends . i do n't know what 's going on with you and i have n't pried , but when whatever 's going on with you interferes with your judgment and puts people 's lives on the line , that 's where i draw the line . ed : i just told you , i 'm not feeling very well . rick : physically ? what else is going on with you , dad ? ed : i do n't want to talk about it . rick : no , we are going to talk about it . first , you have my compromise my principles by running a fingerprint test for you . and then you almost give somebody the wrong meds , and then you hit michelle in the face . what the hell is wrong with you ? reva : what is it ? what 's wrong ? you look like you just saw a ghost . josh : it just ... it freaks me out , that 's all . you just said you saw a vision of me drowning . reva : well , yeah , but it was n't literal . josh : are you sure about that ? reva : well , i ... the more i think about it , the more i really think it 's just a metaphor . josh : maybe . ( laughs nervously ) maybe i 'll just avoid water for a few days , just in case . reva : joshua , do you feel like you 're drowning because of what 's going on with shayne ? or because of something else that 's going on ? josh : i 'm just a little overwhelmed right now . reva : okay . you want to talk about it ? josh : i thought that 's what we were doing . are n't we talking about it right now ? reva : yeah . okay . just know , joshua , that i 'm here for you , bud . always . i can be your lifeline , if that 's what you want . just grab hold . josh : what if i pull you down with me ? reva : at least we 'll be together . ( danny and bill talking quietly ) michelle : well , you guys are going to have to cancel all my photo shoots next week , unless black and blue is suddenly trendy . danny : what the hell happened to you ? michelle : oh , uh , a freaked - out patient came into the er and i guess i reminded him of somebody . danny : when ? when did this happen ? michelle : last night . danny : why did n't you tell me then ? michelle : well you , you know , you got home so late and you were so exhausted and i really did n't think it was that big of a deal until i woke up this morning and i saw this . danny : do you need some ice for that ? michelle : no , no . i 'll do that when i get home . bill : well , how do you want to spin this ? `` do - gooder wife takes it literally on the chin ? `` michelle : no , no , no , bill . no spin , really . do n't mention it , period . okay ? bill : people are going to notice . what are you going to say to them ? they 're going to ask . michelle : nobody 's going to notice . i 'm going to put makeup on it , cover it up . ( cell phone rings ) bill : uh , excuse me , guys . i 've got to take this , okay ? danny : i do n't believe this . what happened to the guy who hit you ? did hospital security lock him up ? michelle : no , danny . he was a troubled person . he really could n't help himself . danny : man , i was worried about you working at the hot - line . does it hurt ? looks like it hurts . michelle : nothing that a kiss from you wo n't make better . danny : okay . i 'll be gentle . oh , poor baby . i 'll tell you what , once bill gets off the phone , why do n't we just get out of here and go home , okay ? michelle : oh , i like the sound of that . danny : me , too . me , too . you know , i never knew what a real home was until i met you . michelle : you know , i feel the same way , danny . the life we lead together , it just , it means everything to me . ed : all right , look . i mean , i was wrong to hit michelle . i make no excuses for that . but i do n't owe you or anyone else an explanation , rick . rick : stop this . i love you . so , whatever 's bothering you , you need to share it with me so we can deal with it and deal with it right now . ed : what has michelle told you ? rick : nothing . ed : come on , she 's told you something . what ? rick : she told me that you slapped her in the face and that she 's worried about you . ed : so just leave it be . rick : are you drinking ? ed : i am not drinking . rick : would you tell me if you were drinking ? ed : why do n't you believe me ? do you want to take a blood alcohol test right now ? come on . you want to do it ? let 's go . rick : dad , stop this . just stop this . ed : stop what ? you do n't want me to be angry ? to be hurt ? that my own son doubts my word . do n't worry about it , i 'm not . i 'll tell you what i am , though : i am tired and i 'm worn - out and i am sick of being interrogated by my own children . and if some stinking blood test is going to put an end to that , come on , let 's do it . take my blood , rick . rick : do n't do this here . do n't do this . why ca n't you tell me what 's wrong with you ? why ca n't you do that ? i 'm your son . ed : because i do n't want to . and that 's my right . rick : i am your son . what could possibly be so wrong that you ca n't share it with me ? ed : this conversation is over ! reva : i 've waited for this for so long . you 've been pulling away from me and i missed you . josh : we ca n't do this right now . reva : no , it 's fine . josh : no , no , this is not a good time , reva . reva : well , then , let 's just concentrate on us . josh : no . i really think you should go . danny : what 's the matter ? michelle : nothing . nothing . i 've just been thinking about a lot of stuff lately . danny : stuff ? what kind of stuff ? michelle : family and what it means . danny : what brought all this on ? the holidays ? the holidays . michelle : you know , you have this perfect image of what a family 's supposed to look like . but they come in all shapes and sizes now and i guess what really matters is just the love and the respect and the trust . and if you have that , you have everything . and if you do n't ... danny : yeah , if you do n't , you wind up with a mother like mine and spend the rest of your life trying to get past it . michelle : we really have gotten past it , danny . danny : you know why ? because of you and robbie . and you know what i want to do right now ? michelle : what ? danny : go home and be with our son . give him dinner and a bath and read him his favorite bedtime book for the hundredth time , tuck him in and then cuddle up by the fire with my favorite lady in the whole world for the rest of the night . how 's that sound to you ? michelle : it sounds perfect . cassie : well , we emptied the box . i guess that 's a record . edmund : sorry . cassie : no , do n't be . we needed to deal with this and i need to bear some responsibility . edmund : cassie , do n't . cassie : no , edmund , come on . i 'm not perfect , you know ? edmund : close . cassie : no . and you know what ? i have a bit of a confession . edmund : oh , goodie . confessions are good for the soul . cassie : when we all found out who sandy was , i was happy for reva , but i was a little jealous , too . i mean , she got back her son that she had with richard , and it 's never going to happen for me . kind of petty , huh ? edmund : well , about as petty as richard offering me an olive branch and me turning it down right before he died . cassie : you know , i think that 's worse . edmund : thanks . cassie : i guess we 're human , huh ? edmund : yeah . afraid so . god , i just remember at the hospital , when richard found out about the baby . the look on his face . cassie : you were there , huh ? did , um ... edmund : what ? cassie : no , never mind . i do n't want to talk about it anymore . i just want to be here with you . ( sighs ) reva : well ! ( laughs ) i believe that 's the first time you 've ever turned me down . josh : it 's not about ... reva : about me . i know , i know that . you keep saying that , but you wo n't tell me what it is about . josh : reva , i ... i want to be with you . i want to make love to you . and i wish that that would just fix everything that we did that ... reva : fix what ? fix what ? is it something else ? just talk to me . talk to me , joshua . or not . okay , you know , this was wrong . this was a big mistake , i know that , coming here , uninvited . i mean , i pushed myself and this is what i get for it , you know ? hey , you know what ? they say that a little humiliation can be a positive experience . josh : reva . reva ... reva : it 's all right . i 'm fine . i am . but i 'm just a little worried about you . i am . if you want to talk about anything , i 'm a phone call away . josh : okay . what about the ... reva : ( laughs ) we 'll save it . josh : okay . reva : for the next time . josh : next , on guiding light jeffrey : there was nothing wrong with that marah , you know ? there 's nothing wrong with something that 's real , honest , something that comes from the heart . marah : but wait a minute , i thought that what we had had nothing to do with our hearts . eden : here . i have a little parting gift for you .Summarize.[/INST]edmund forces cassie to look backwards in time , to the night of the accident when she lost her baby . at first resistant to the memories flooding upon her , cassie grows more emotional remembering against her will details of the frightening night she drove the car off the road . edmund makes clear to her that he never meant to harm her . cassie , to his growing horror , starts to blame herself , realizing that her own reckless driving and defiant attitude during a high - risk pregnancy were contributing causes . she asks his forgiveness for having been so sanctimonious in scapegoating him and edmund freely gives it . after the talk they are more at peace , but cassie asks edmund if he was at the hospital the night the baby miscarried ? he wonders why she 's asking but she hides the hidden thought with `` no reason . `` reva shows up at josh 's hotel room with a comfort basket of videos and movie snack food . josh is surprised to see her and , out of loyalty to his men friends , resists her company . but she charms her way past his many defenses and is cuddling in his arms when she shares with him the vision she had recently of his drowning . josh now remembers his need to keep her at a distance , and resists her attempted seduction . reva exits with dignity , but it is only when alone in the hall do we see how devastated she is by this turn of events .</s>

what if he never sees again ? devon : i do n't know . what do you want me to say to you ? then you live a lie for the rest of your life , and we do holidays and family dinners . but , hey , maybe neil wo n't notice that we 're in love 'cause he ca n't see the way i look at you , and he ca n't see how much i want to be with you . hilary : he ca n't see , devon , and that 's what 's important -- not us , not this , whatever this is . listen , if we just ignore it , maybe it 'll go away . devon : for a lot of years , i did n't have anything close to a dad . i did n't know tucker existed . and then neil gave me a life that i could n't imagine i could even have . hilary : he did the same thing to me . devon : everything we said in that bar -- just to be able to say those things to you ... hilary : i know . it felt so good . devon : now it just feels like we 're stabbing neil in the back with a knife , except i can feel it , too . hilary : that 's why we got to let this go . devon : i hear you . you know , part of me just wants to run as far away as i can to make sure you and i do n't do anything , but i ca n't go anywhere . neil needs me . he needs both of us here . hilary : it was a dream , devon . and now we 're awake . devon : god , you 're right here in front of me , and i already miss you . sharon : i thought of her as my daughter , too . i treated mariah like family , like cassie . i so wanted it to be true . i -- letting her live here in our home , letting her get close to faith -- i just wanted my daughter back in my life . nick : she 's not like your daughter , sharon . it 's not wishful thinking . she is your flesh and blood . sharon : okay , nick , you 're not making any sense . nick : i did n't trust mariah so i did some digging because i had to wonder ... sharon : wonder what ? nick : ... why she looked so much like cassie , why she resembled her in so many ways . sharon : nick , it 's just a strange coincidence , that 's all . nick : it 's not a coincidence . cassie and mariah are sisters . sharon , you had twins . sharon : no , nick . no . i do n't even know what you 're talking about . nick : it 's true , sharon . you had twin daughters . sharon : i would know that , nick . no , that 's not true . i would know . nick : listen to me . listen to me . once we found out that mariah 's mother was still alive , i knew in my gut there had to be more to the story . sharon : helen ? her name was helen . nick : yes , helen copeland . and she was an ob nurse . sharon : and what -- what ? she stole a baby from me that i never had ? why ? just so she could neglect it later ? i mean , why would she plan to steal a child she never even wanted ? nick : she never wanted to be a mother . she never wanted kids of her own . sharon : so then why bother to go to the trouble ? nick : because she knew someone who did -- someone who wanted a child that could n't have children of their own . we knew helen was in ian 's cult , and he had her under his thumb . she did this for ian ward . she stole the baby for ian . mariah : poor little sharon and all of her mental anguish . but she sure knows how to dish out the misery . ian : well , if there was some sort of misunderstanding , we can fix it . sharon cares about you . you do n't want to lose that . mariah : you know , they call me a con , but sharon -- sharon is the con -- just lies and blowing smoke just like my mother , like tyler . helen , sharon -- they 're all the same . ian : listen to me . sharon opened up her heart to you . it was real , and it was honest . and there 's a reason why you fit into that home with nick and sharon . mariah : nick ? nick ? sharon does n't deserve him . ian : mariah . you 're more than just a resemblance to sharon 's daughter -- so much more . and it 's time you know . colin : money laundering using fenmore 's . do you have any idea of the people involved here ? you 've got michael baldwin , jill 's brother - in - law , a former d.a . , a close personal friend of the chief of police . why do n't you try picking his pocket , as well ? trust me -- from experience , it 's hard to get money out of someone when they 're behind bars . kurtz : from inside the office , the storefront -- i do n't care how you do it as long as it gets done . colin : instant gratification 's a fools game , kurtz . why do n't we find a less risky , more lucrative endeavor ? kurtz : how about you do n't pay your debt , and i drop you right here , and then i pay jill a visit ? colin : how about i return the favor and drop you , too ? now , i do n't like the way you use my wife 's name . ah , we 're businessmen . let 's not get messy . we 're colleagues . just leave my wife 's name out of this . kurtz : [ clears throat ] cane : so , what was all that about ? and do n't say it was nothing . neil : honestly , i - i 'm trying to be as optimistic as i can . i remember , jack , when you had your spinal injury , how determined you were , and then same thing with devon when he went deaf . and , you know , the doctor -- he said , uh , there 's a slim chance that this is gon na be permanent , but i 'm gon na prove him wrong . it 's gon na be a matter of days , maybe weeks , before i -- jack : and you 're in no discomfort at all ? neil : well , only when a chair jumps out and hits me in the shins , you know ? kelly : i say you kick that chair right back . neil : yeah , i 'll do that . hey , listen , meanwhile , please do me a favor . keep me in the loop , uh , with work . i do n't want anything to fall through the cracks . jack : absolutely not . you have a great team , neil . they can all step up for a few weeks . kelly : how are things here ? neil : things here ? uh , they 're great . i mean , i 'm being spoiled rotten . my family 's wonderful . my kids , my amazing wife . uh , and i 'm sorry she 's not here . she should be here any time . hilary : how about any second ? kelly : oh ! neil : ahh . there you are . i actually heard the door open . lily : devon , i 'm glad you could make it . devon : yeah , hey . neil : hi , baby . devon : how are you ? kelly : nice to see you . devon : you , too . neil : hey , devon . give me some love . devon : how you doing ? neil : good , good . devon : heard there was some free food . i could n't stay away . lily : oh , that 's how billionaires keep their billions , huh ? devon : it smells good in here , too . jack : hey , buddy . devon : how are you , jack ? neil : so , i take it you two came -- came together , right ? hilary : yeah , i was at the club . neil : oh . devon : lily texted and said we were needed , so , uh , i offered to give hilary a ride . neil : thank you . you 're a good son . i appreciate you bringing my wife back home to me . mm . cane : that take - no - prisoners look you gave that guy when he walked off -- i know that look 'cause i 've been on the receiving end of it more than once myself . colin : i 'm a kinder , gentler man these days . besides , i 'm simply here overseeing katherine 's remembrance ceremony . i mean , it 's important to jill , so it 's got to be important to me . cane : who was he ? colin : oh , him ? that 's the -- chester , the park - rec . cane : oh , that 's chester the park - rec ? colin : mm - hmm . cane : and he just decided to come and visit you at night ? colin : well , given everything that katherine did for this city -- cane : cut the crap , all right ? i know the look you have when you put out a hit . i know the look you have when you know your luck has run out . colin : this is n't oz . i do n't do that -- cane : i should be with my family right now and my wife , but i 'm not . i 'm here . i 'm with you . and i 'm not gon na do it again , dad . do you understand that ? i let you back in my life . i let you in my home with my kids . i 'm telling you this -- colin : ethan , enough . this is your father , all right ? look at me . i - i 'm in one piece . you go home . be with neil . be with your wife . i 've got jill . i 've got my freedom . i have n't got a problem in the world . hilary : time to eat . the table is ready . and , neil , you 'll be in your regular seat . neil : the same seat i always sit in , honey , thanks . devon : you need help serving , lily ? lily : no , i got pasta salad since it 's so hot out . devon : everything that we have at the club , and that 's what you picked ? why did n't you get lobster or something ? you manage the place . neil : hey , jack , kelly , why do n't you , uh , join us ? sit down . jack : are you sure ? neil : of course i 'm sure , or i would n't offer . there 's plenty of room at the table . come on . lily : yeah , the twins are with the sitter , so ... kelly : well , that 's a good thing . otherwise , we 'd be sitting in booster seats . jack : you know what ? we accept . lily : i also got , uh , pesto pasta , dad . jack : say that three times real fast . lily : [ chuckles ] neil : hey , i usually have to fight cane for the leftovers . tonight i 'm gon na need some competition . hi , honey . kelly : oh , well , you can ... jack : well , yeah , i mean , i like my pasta . i 'll give you a round or two . neil : oh , yeah ? i bet you will . uh , let me tell you about the renovations that i have for my new house . kelly : ooh , i ca n't wait to hear . i love those home - rehab shows . lily : you 're not keeping the house , are you ? neil : of course i am . i 'm not gon na live in that house in that condition . why would i do that ? lily : well , then sell it 'cause it 's the reason why you 're like this . neil : lily , would you stop it ? i 'm not gon na sell the house because a few sparks flew out of a box . hilary : okay , why do n't we just talk about this later ? neil : that 's a good idea . hilary : when we 're alone . neil : that 's good . hilary : right ? neil : yeah . hilary : um , here . let me get some of this on your plate for you . neil : no . here , just give me the spoon . devon : yeah . hilary : [ sighs ] okay . neil : thank you . so , let me tell you about this house , okay ? with the right contractor , the right vision , this house is gon na be the gem of the north shore . i 'm telling you -- the second that i saw this house , i knew that it was -- [ bowl clatters ] lily : it 's okay . it 's all right , dad . jack : use this . lily : thank you . here . kelly : is everybody okay ? devon : you could n't serve this up in the kitchen , lily ? lily : really ? are you kidding ? maybe you could have helped me instead of sitting here sulking -- hilary : stop ! everybody , stop . ian : you are much more than just a resemblance to sharon 's daughter . you are ... smart , clever , fiery , and you 're loyal . and sharon saw all that in you . mariah : no . no , she pretended like she saw it . nick was the one who actually saw it . and he made it clear that he did n't look at me like a daughter . ian : oh , mariah . what did you do ? mariah : i - i gave nick the opening he -- he clearly wanted . i met him halfway ... in lingerie . ian : oh . and how did he react ? mariah : he did n't . sharon came in before he did and totally flipped out . ian : mariah , i warned you about acting on feelings like this . you put everything at risk . mariah : what everything ? i stalked the woman , then she gave me a job , a bed , and a bowl of ice cream . she is a freak , and , apparently , she has some secret that can destroy nick . ian : all i care about is you , and you deserve love , fulfillment . but you have to be mindful , aware , present . mariah : i was present . i was a damn present wrapped up for nick ... ian : [ sighs ] mariah : ... not sharon . i tried to tell her that the outfit was for somebody else , but she blew up and then threw me out -- not before she said every nasty thing she could think of . ian : then did you lash out at her ? or did you do the things i taught you ? mariah : i was n't gon na take it -- not from her . god , i - i hate her . i just -- i - i just hate that woman . but it 's over . it 's over , and i can leave this place and forget that i knew anyone in this town . ian : oh , mariah , i 've known you from the time you were a little baby to now , a young , beautiful woman , and i believe that our path has led to this very moment . things can still work out the way they 're supposed to . sharon : ian ? nick : yeah . grace helped me piece it all together . sharon : you talked to grace ? nick : she remembered the nurse that day . it was helen , and she remembered how helen would n't let grace or doris back in the room to see you . sharon : another baby -- there 's -- there could n't have been , nick . i would have known . i would have felt it . nick : you were young and terrified , and they had drugged you up . sharon : no , you were n't there . you do n't know . nick : well , i talked to dr. hill , and he is the man who delivered cassie ... and mariah . sharon , he confessed to the whole thing . sharon : i never even knew if it was a boy or a girl . they never let me hold my baby . and then i remember screaming , and the nurse came in and gave me a shot . i just wanted to see her . i just wanted to see my baby . i remember the sedative set in , and after that ... nothing . nick : helen realized that there was -- there was another baby -- one you did n't know about , one you 'd never know about . sharon : it 's true ... is n't it ? mariah -- she has cassie 's face because she 's cassie 's twin . sharon : how could i bring another life , another soul , into this world and not -- not feel it , not know it ? nick : sweetheart , you were a kid yourself . they drugged you . they manipulated you . sharon : no , no , i - i was carrying two babies . i - i should have felt that in my heart , in my mind . my child was out there in the world ... with people who did n't love her . mariah needed me . nick : you did n't know . you could n't have known . this is not your fault . sharon : i abandoned her , and then i did it again today . my daughter , my baby . i told mariah i wished i 'd never met her . i told my daughter that i never wanted to see her again . mariah : i ca n't wait to leave genoa city . ian : yeah , but nick and sharon took you in , gave you a job . mariah : because i have a dead girl 's face . ian : no , no , no . they could have wanted you gone after your little arrangement with victor , but they accepted you . and i 'd say that sharon even loves you ... for you , for who you are -- your spark , your humor , and that cynicism that covers a deep and complex heart . mariah : that 's what you see , not them . ian : maybe . maybe it is . maybe it 's because i 've known you since the day you were born . i watched you flourish , mariah . there are wonders in you -- endless wonders . and i - i believe , and i have faith that the world can and will see you as i see you . mariah : [ sighs ] you say it , and i almost believe it 's true . ian : oh , it is , honey . i know it is . you know , the first time i held you in my arms when you were a little baby , i sensed then the many ways that you would change my life -- i would see the world through your young and bright eyes -- your joy and my wisdom . were n't we always a great team ? mariah : yeah . ian : hmm ? mariah : [ voice breaking ] you have always been the only person i can trust . ian : oh . hilary : lily has been very thoughtful and generous . and we 've all been through a lot already , so let 's just cut each other some slack . jack : all we lost here was some food . i 'm sure there 's more where that came from . kelly : yeah , you know , i can run to the club . lily : no , i 'll do it . i 'm gon na find out what 's keeping cane . kelly : do you want some company ? lily : yeah , thanks . kelly : okay . neil : i think i 'm gon na go check out the kitchen for a minute . i heard a rumor that there 's , uh , some food in the freezer . hilary : yeah , there is , but we 're gon na have dinner up and ready in no time . devon : come on , dad . let 's go , uh , get hit defrost on some . neil : yeah . kelly : i think this family just needs a little time to de - stress . jack : you go with lily . i 'll find you later . hey . lily : ready for me and my fabulous mood ? kelly : come on . you just need a little 10 minutes . take a walk . big breath . you 'll be fine . jack : it gets complicated . i saw you with neil ... and devon . you get dropped into this family dynamic , and then this happens . it 's not easy . i just wish you could have called me ... to tell me about neil . hilary : yeah , it just -- there 's nothing that anybody can do . jack : and i 'm sure neil did n't want to tell the whole world about his blindness . hilary : he could see tomorrow , but until he does , we just ... jack : it will feel like an eternity . i know that . somebody once told me i 'd never walk again . hilary : god , you must have been terrified . jack : i was . so was everybody else around me . i did n't make it easy for them , either . look , what just happened is gon na happen again . neil -- well , what you just saw was his frustration and his fear talking . do n't take it personally . he loves you . and he 's lucky to have you in his life . hilary : i am the lucky one . jack : neil , i 'm gon na get out of your hair here . listen , why do n't you stop inking about business altogether and talk with your wife about your dream home ? neil : i appreciate you coming . i 'm just sorry you had to find out in this way . jack : neil , you 've faced other hills . you 've faced other demons . i 'm not worried about you . you 're gon na find your way through this , too . just know -- anything you need , day or night , you call me . neil : jack , you 're absolutely right . i 've got this . this is short - term , baby , you know ? strange . from every negative comes a positive . i can almost see without looking . jack : well , that 's a pretty clever parlor trick . neil : oh , yeah , man . it 's amazing how my other senses have begun to compensate . you know , i 'm hearing little things in people 's voices that i 've never heard before , that i never noticed before , and between words and the quiet , i can hear what people are thinking . you know ? sharon : i failed her since the moment she was born . mariah was raised by a predator and some woman who did n't love her , and then when i finally had her close , i threw her out . nick : the last thing i remember was you were sitting on the couch eating ice cream together . sharon : she was going to seduce you , nick . i found her here in lingerie waiting for you , only i showed up instead . nick : what are you talking about ? maybe you misunderstood . sharon : no , she admitted it . she thought that the two of you had some kind of chemistry , a connection . nick : with someone who looks like my daughter ? sharon : she hates that she looks so much like cassie , and you always made it clear that you thought the two of them were n't alike at all . nick : yeah , i 've been a lot nicer to her at work . i was trying not to chase her off until i could learn more about her past . sharon : i found her here in my home like that , in lingerie . in my home . i was -- i was so devastated and betrayed . but you know what ? of course she does that . of course she acts out like that and makes those choices . she was abandoned and unloved . and then i - i did it to her again today . i told my daughter to get out and never to come back . nick , we have got to find her . nick : yeah . i know the first place to look . cane : i went to bat for you with victor newman . i could have told him that you were behind the bonaventure deal , and i did n't . instead , i saved your ass . colin : trust me , my ass is very grateful , and i shall take that with me when i , uh , plan katherine 's event . cane : hey . you do remember what you said to me the last time i covered for you , right ? you told me you would n't make me regret it . colin : have you ? come on . i 'm a changed man . mattie and charlie -- when i 'm around both of them , it 's like a blinding flash of sunlight . i got to reach for shades . [ chuckles ] and jill -- woman who you once called mother , that infuriating pain in my neck -- got to be the best thing that ever happened to me . and i 'm gon na jeopardize all of that for a tussle with a bunch of lowlifes ? cane : oh , i know you like your new life . i also like my life , and whether i like it or not , you are now part of my life . you 're part of my kids ' life . so if you have something going down , you need to tell me , and i will help you . but you need to tell me now . jack : hey , i know kelly and i had a pretty big reaction to hearing your news . i know what that feels like , and last thing in the world i want to do is set you back . neil : come on . my old friend jack . i 'm fine . jack : okay . neil : honestly . jack : keep me posted , huh ? neil : yeah . yeah , i sure will . will do . jack : hilary , devon , good night . devon : have a good night , jack . neil : okay , so , what 's cooking with you two , huh ? [ chuckles ] hilary : [ chuckles ] [ cell phone rings ] devon : hey , jill . how you doing ? yeah , i know . it 's just a real tricky time right now . i 'll get back to you as soon as i can . yeah , yeah , yeah . for sure . i 'll let you know . okay . neil : devon . devon : yeah ? neil : is that about katherine 's remembrance ceremony ? devon : yes , it was , but i do n't have to go . we can stay in and catch a game . we can watch one -- or listen to a game . neil : no , no , we 're not gon na do that , son . this should take precedence . you 're gon na go to katherine 's remembrance . so am i . kelly : you know i 'm here for you , okay ? this thing with neil can not be easy . lily : no , i think that you saw firsthand how not easy it is , but i 'm really sorry about that . that was brutal for everyone . kelly : i did n't see a family having a meltdown . what i saw was a family just kind of muddling through . nobody walked out the door or turned their back on the other person . i mean , that 's a big deal . lily : i do n't know . my dad 's already gone off on me . he went off on devon . and then i get snarky with hilary , but yet she sticks up for me . i mean , that should show you how bad things have gotten . kelly : maybe you all just need to give each other a little credit . lily : maybe . but i would n't count on it . um , anyway , i 'm gon na get the food , so you find jack . kelly : you know what ? i can stay if you want . lily : no , no . this was good . thank you . kelly : you sure ? lily : yeah . kelly : you can talk to me anytime . you know that , okay ? right ? all right . lily : yes . kelly : call me . sharon : lily . i 'm so glad we caught you . nick : we need your help . kelly : mrs. martinez stocks a mean fridge . jack : well , it 's not -- not pesto pasta . kelly : mmm ! it 's home , and it 's heaven . jack : did you just call this `` home `` ? kelly : i did , did n't i ? jack : yeah . our first night home together . kelly : it is . jack : not exactly the evening i had planned . kelly : oh , please . i do n't need bells and whistles . i have you ... and mango . [ chuckles ] we 're so very lucky . jack : we are so lucky . kelly : [ sighs ] neil seems like he 's trying to make the best of it . jack : yeah , i guess . i heard him talking . i remembered the things i said in my own hospital bed . `` i want another doctor . i want another opinion . this is temporary . this is n't gon na last . `` and then once the denial comes to an abrupt end , i fell into an emotional sinkhole . kelly : neil does n't know whether or not he 's gon na see again , so is it really denial for him to have hope and carry on ? jack : hope 's essential . life is gon na throw you things you can never prepare for . eventually , you have to accept that you ca n't control everything . and then you just put the pieces back together any way you can . devon : dad , you just got out of the hospital . nobody expects you to be there . neil : okay , listen to me closely . i 'm on my own two feet . i 'm perfectly healthy . even if i were n't , i 'm not gon na miss out on honoring katherine . devon : of course not , but -- neil : but what ? i owe her the respect of showing up with my wife and , hopefully , my son . devon : yes , but , dad -- neil : but what ? what is -- what is the problem ? devon : there 's not a problem . we have just been keeping the news about your accident within the family . i was n't sure how you wanted to go about telling everybody . i mean , if you 're set on going , if you really want to go , i 'll call jill . i 'll let her know what happened . you do n't have to worry about answering a bunch of questions . colin : trust me . do n't worry . everything 's right with my world . cane : i want you to know that it does n't have to be this way . and if it is , it 's because this is the way that you wanted . do n't forget that . kurtz : what -- you do n't want junior to know you 're in deep to me ? colin : maybe i did n't make myself clear when i said my wife and family were not part of this . kurtz : you know , it 's funny . you married the broad for her bank account , and now you want to be mr. chivalry . colin : my wife 's boutique -- that 's her business . now , this -- well , this is our little issue . kurtz : the money is due now , which means things get ugly fast unless you have a big wad of cash in your back pocket . colin : maybe it 's in my other wallet . kurtz : then you might want to reconsider bringing me into the family business before chivalry is really , truly dead . nick : we 're gon na find her . sharon : now . it needs to be now . lily : hi . uh , i 'm sorry , but according to the registry , ian ward checked out . nick : when ? today ? lily : an hour ago , actually . i guess the housekeeper said that he left with some young woman . sharon : ian 's gone , and he took mariah with him . [ next_on ] avery : are we just gon na keep avoiding each other , or are we gon na deal with this ? kevin : who are we tracking ? paul : ian ward and mariah copeland . kevin : mariah ? nick : they 're twins , mom . mariah is sharon 's daughter .

<s>[INST] nick : no , sharon , you can not throw mariah out of your life . sharon : i hate her . i never want to see her again . nick : do n't say that . sharon : give me one good reason why i should ever want to see that girl again . nick : look , there are some things that we did n't know about mariah -- things that mariah does n't even know . sharon : like she 's a liar and an opportunist ? you warned me , but did i listen ? no . i just had to save her . i let her into my home , my family . it was so stupid . i wish that i 'd never met her , and i hope that i never see her again . nick : no . you do not know what you 're saying . ian : mariah ? mariah : finally ! where have you been ? ian : uh , i - i told you -- mariah : it does n't matter . i - i came to say goodbye . i 'm so out of this town . [ voice breaking ] i can not wait to leave this place and never ... ian : oh , honey . honey . sharon : nick , we blamed victor . we blamed ian . but it turns out that mariah was no innocent pawn in all of this . she came into our lives . she made me trust her . she made me love her . nick : listen to me . there 's a reason for that . sharon : yes , to take advantage of me , of us . what she wanted -- what she wanted all along -- nick : you do n't want to say this . sharon : you do n't know who mariah really is ! nick : she 's your daughter . mariah is your daughter , sharon . cane : you know , sitting here and staring at a drink 's becoming a thing for you . devon : well , if you have a problem , you can take it up with the owner . cane : [ chuckles ] devon : are you headed home ? cane : going over to neil 's house . uh , lily got some food from the kitchen . we 're gon na try and have a family dinner under the same roof . devon : 'cause it went great last time . cane : which is why we 're gon na try and do it again . listen , you know , why do n't you come , be there for neil ? i know you want to be there for him . devon : neil and hilary do n't need me crowding him . cane : just do me a favor , okay ? do n't sit here all night . devon : okay . cane : okay . hilary : hi . devon : hello . cane just left to meet lily at dad 's place -- uh , your place . he said something about a late dinner . hilary : yeah , i know . i 'm on my way there now . i just -- i had some work to do . devon : mm . hilary : it 's a lie . i 'm here because ... i needed to see you . neil : i know exactly where it is . i do n't need your help . give me a chance , and i 'll prove to you that i do n't need your help . lily , i 'm sorry . i - i keep saying hurtful things to you , and i - i - i do n't mean to . i 'm overwhelmed right now , as you can tell . lily : it 's fine . it 's fine . neil : i should have better manners . lily : no , you 're always a gentleman . i 'm gon na , um , see if the pasta salad 's ready , uh , before cane and hilary get here . [ knock on door ] lily : do you want me to get that ? neil : no , no , no , no . you -- you stay right where you are . i 'll -- i 'll get it . coming ! who is it ? jack : jack and kelly ! kelly : hi ! neil : ah , jack . jack : there he is -- out of the hospital and back in the bosom of his family . neil : yeah , jack . just come in . kelly : i hope you do n't mind us just dropping by . we wanted to see how you were . jack : if you 're not up to par , the flowers are for you . otherwise , they 're for your wife . neil : no , no , i 'm up to par just fine , thanks . so they 're gon na be for her . jack : well , great . if you are up to par , i can tell you all about the production meeting . chelsea gave me some sketches here i want you to see . neil : yeah , jack , listen , i 've got to talk to you about something , okay ? jack : too soon ? well , wait till tomorrow morning . neil : no , tomorrow -- jack , tomorrow 's not gon na work either . jack : hey , i do n't need a big report . i just need -- neil : jack , i 've been trying to tell you since you blew through my front door . i ca n't see the sketches , man . colin : time to talk terms . kurtz : plan is simple enough . meet your new partner in your wife 's fancy clothing business . move the cash through nice and clean . colin : interesting idea . somehow , it just does n't quite work for me . so we 'll go with mine instead . you will leave my family out of this . neil : so , you know , i - i just bought this big , beautiful house for hilary and me , and it needs a little bit of work , and it 's no big deal . so here 's the thing -- i 'm standing in the house , and -- and all of a sudden , lights go out . and so i make my way over to the electrical box , and stupidly , i - i grab two loose wires and , you know , i put them together , and -- and then it 's really lights out , and i wake up , and i 'm in the hospital . [ chuckles ] you know , i - i ca n't see anything . kelly : that sounds so difficult . i 'm so sorry , neil . jack : i can not believe i did n't know about this . why did n't somebody call me ? lily : well , things just happened really quickly , and we 're just taking every moment as they come . jack : well , business is the last thing you need to worry about . business can wait . anything you need right now , consider it done . neil : okay . thanks , jack . we , uh -- we 'll make do for now until we get back to normal . and i 'm gon na tell you exactly what i told the rest of the family -- that this loss of my sight is absolutely temporary . i 'm gon na get it back soon . kelly : oh , well , that 's great . i mean , that 's wonderful news . you must be relieved . hilary : we did n't get a chance to talk before . you know , when we got neil settled in . devon : there 's not really much to say . you made yourself pretty clear . hilary : neil was in the other room , devon . i - i did n't get to say things that i wanted to say . devon : what things ? `` we 're gon na wait , but one day , you and i will be together `` ? was any of that gon na come out of your mouth ? are you gon na say it now ? so like i said , you made yourself very clear . hilary : i pray every night that neil would get his sight back , and it 's not for me . it 's for him . devon : so do i . hilary : what if prayers are n't enough ? what if he never sees again ? devon : i do n't know . what do you want me to say to you ? then you live a lie for the rest of your life , and we do holidays and family dinners . but , hey , maybe neil wo n't notice that we 're in love 'cause he ca n't see the way i look at you , and he ca n't see how much i want to be with you . hilary : he ca n't see , devon , and that 's what 's important -- not us , not this , whatever this is . listen , if we just ignore it , maybe it 'll go away . devon : for a lot of years , i did n't have anything close to a dad . i did n't know tucker existed . and then neil gave me a life that i could n't imagine i could even have . hilary : he did the same thing to me . devon : everything we said in that bar -- just to be able to say those things to you ... hilary : i know . it felt so good . devon : now it just feels like we 're stabbing neil in the back with a knife , except i can feel it , too . hilary : that 's why we got to let this go . devon : i hear you . you know , part of me just wants to run as far away as i can to make sure you and i do n't do anything , but i ca n't go anywhere . neil needs me . he needs both of us here . hilary : it was a dream , devon . and now we 're awake . devon : god , you 're right here in front of me , and i already miss you . sharon : i thought of her as my daughter , too . i treated mariah like family , like cassie . i so wanted it to be true . i -- letting her live here in our home , letting her get close to faith -- i just wanted my daughter back in my life . nick : she 's not like your daughter , sharon . it 's not wishful thinking . she is your flesh and blood . sharon : okay , nick , you 're not making any sense . nick : i did n't trust mariah so i did some digging because i had to wonder ... sharon : wonder what ? nick : ... why she looked so much like cassie , why she resembled her in so many ways . sharon : nick , it 's just a strange coincidence , that 's all . nick : it 's not a coincidence . cassie and mariah are sisters . sharon , you had twins . sharon : no , nick . no . i do n't even know what you 're talking about . nick : it 's true , sharon . you had twin daughters . sharon : i would know that , nick . no , that 's not true . i would know . nick : listen to me . listen to me . once we found out that mariah 's mother was still alive , i knew in my gut there had to be more to the story . sharon : helen ? her name was helen . nick : yes , helen copeland . and she was an ob nurse . sharon : and what -- what ? she stole a baby from me that i never had ? why ? just so she could neglect it later ? i mean , why would she plan to steal a child she never even wanted ? nick : she never wanted to be a mother . she never wanted kids of her own . sharon : so then why bother to go to the trouble ? nick : because she knew someone who did -- someone who wanted a child that could n't have children of their own . we knew helen was in ian 's cult , and he had her under his thumb . she did this for ian ward . she stole the baby for ian . mariah : poor little sharon and all of her mental anguish . but she sure knows how to dish out the misery . ian : well , if there was some sort of misunderstanding , we can fix it . sharon cares about you . you do n't want to lose that . mariah : you know , they call me a con , but sharon -- sharon is the con -- just lies and blowing smoke just like my mother , like tyler . helen , sharon -- they 're all the same . ian : listen to me . sharon opened up her heart to you . it was real , and it was honest . and there 's a reason why you fit into that home with nick and sharon . mariah : nick ? nick ? sharon does n't deserve him . ian : mariah . you 're more than just a resemblance to sharon 's daughter -- so much more . and it 's time you know . colin : money laundering using fenmore 's . do you have any idea of the people involved here ? you 've got michael baldwin , jill 's brother - in - law , a former d.a . , a close personal friend of the chief of police . why do n't you try picking his pocket , as well ? trust me -- from experience , it 's hard to get money out of someone when they 're behind bars . kurtz : from inside the office , the storefront -- i do n't care how you do it as long as it gets done . colin : instant gratification 's a fools game , kurtz . why do n't we find a less risky , more lucrative endeavor ? kurtz : how about you do n't pay your debt , and i drop you right here , and then i pay jill a visit ? colin : how about i return the favor and drop you , too ? now , i do n't like the way you use my wife 's name . ah , we 're businessmen . let 's not get messy . we 're colleagues . just leave my wife 's name out of this . kurtz : [ clears throat ] cane : so , what was all that about ? and do n't say it was nothing . neil : honestly , i - i 'm trying to be as optimistic as i can . i remember , jack , when you had your spinal injury , how determined you were , and then same thing with devon when he went deaf . and , you know , the doctor -- he said , uh , there 's a slim chance that this is gon na be permanent , but i 'm gon na prove him wrong . it 's gon na be a matter of days , maybe weeks , before i -- jack : and you 're in no discomfort at all ? neil : well , only when a chair jumps out and hits me in the shins , you know ? kelly : i say you kick that chair right back . neil : yeah , i 'll do that . hey , listen , meanwhile , please do me a favor . keep me in the loop , uh , with work . i do n't want anything to fall through the cracks . jack : absolutely not . you have a great team , neil . they can all step up for a few weeks . kelly : how are things here ? neil : things here ? uh , they 're great . i mean , i 'm being spoiled rotten . my family 's wonderful . my kids , my amazing wife . uh , and i 'm sorry she 's not here . she should be here any time . hilary : how about any second ? kelly : oh ! neil : ahh . there you are . i actually heard the door open . lily : devon , i 'm glad you could make it . devon : yeah , hey . neil : hi , baby . devon : how are you ? kelly : nice to see you . devon : you , too . neil : hey , devon . give me some love . devon : how you doing ? neil : good , good . devon : heard there was some free food . i could n't stay away . lily : oh , that 's how billionaires keep their billions , huh ? devon : it smells good in here , too . jack : hey , buddy . devon : how are you , jack ? neil : so , i take it you two came -- came together , right ? hilary : yeah , i was at the club . neil : oh . devon : lily texted and said we were needed , so , uh , i offered to give hilary a ride . neil : thank you . you 're a good son . i appreciate you bringing my wife back home to me . mm . cane : that take - no - prisoners look you gave that guy when he walked off -- i know that look 'cause i 've been on the receiving end of it more than once myself . colin : i 'm a kinder , gentler man these days . besides , i 'm simply here overseeing katherine 's remembrance ceremony . i mean , it 's important to jill , so it 's got to be important to me . cane : who was he ? colin : oh , him ? that 's the -- chester , the park - rec . cane : oh , that 's chester the park - rec ? colin : mm - hmm . cane : and he just decided to come and visit you at night ? colin : well , given everything that katherine did for this city -- cane : cut the crap , all right ? i know the look you have when you put out a hit . i know the look you have when you know your luck has run out . colin : this is n't oz . i do n't do that -- cane : i should be with my family right now and my wife , but i 'm not . i 'm here . i 'm with you . and i 'm not gon na do it again , dad . do you understand that ? i let you back in my life . i let you in my home with my kids . i 'm telling you this -- colin : ethan , enough . this is your father , all right ? look at me . i - i 'm in one piece . you go home . be with neil . be with your wife . i 've got jill . i 've got my freedom . i have n't got a problem in the world . hilary : time to eat . the table is ready . and , neil , you 'll be in your regular seat . neil : the same seat i always sit in , honey , thanks . devon : you need help serving , lily ? lily : no , i got pasta salad since it 's so hot out . devon : everything that we have at the club , and that 's what you picked ? why did n't you get lobster or something ? you manage the place . neil : hey , jack , kelly , why do n't you , uh , join us ? sit down . jack : are you sure ? neil : of course i 'm sure , or i would n't offer . there 's plenty of room at the table . come on . lily : yeah , the twins are with the sitter , so ... kelly : well , that 's a good thing . otherwise , we 'd be sitting in booster seats . jack : you know what ? we accept . lily : i also got , uh , pesto pasta , dad . jack : say that three times real fast . lily : [ chuckles ] neil : hey , i usually have to fight cane for the leftovers . tonight i 'm gon na need some competition . hi , honey . kelly : oh , well , you can ... jack : well , yeah , i mean , i like my pasta . i 'll give you a round or two . neil : oh , yeah ? i bet you will . uh , let me tell you about the renovations that i have for my new house . kelly : ooh , i ca n't wait to hear . i love those home - rehab shows . lily : you 're not keeping the house , are you ? neil : of course i am . i 'm not gon na live in that house in that condition . why would i do that ? lily : well , then sell it 'cause it 's the reason why you 're like this . neil : lily , would you stop it ? i 'm not gon na sell the house because a few sparks flew out of a box . hilary : okay , why do n't we just talk about this later ? neil : that 's a good idea . hilary : when we 're alone . neil : that 's good . hilary : right ? neil : yeah . hilary : um , here . let me get some of this on your plate for you . neil : no . here , just give me the spoon . devon : yeah . hilary : [ sighs ] okay . neil : thank you . so , let me tell you about this house , okay ? with the right contractor , the right vision , this house is gon na be the gem of the north shore . i 'm telling you -- the second that i saw this house , i knew that it was -- [ bowl clatters ] lily : it 's okay . it 's all right , dad . jack : use this . lily : thank you . here . kelly : is everybody okay ? devon : you could n't serve this up in the kitchen , lily ? lily : really ? are you kidding ? maybe you could have helped me instead of sitting here sulking -- hilary : stop ! everybody , stop . ian : you are much more than just a resemblance to sharon 's daughter . you are ... smart , clever , fiery , and you 're loyal . and sharon saw all that in you . mariah : no . no , she pretended like she saw it . nick was the one who actually saw it . and he made it clear that he did n't look at me like a daughter . ian : oh , mariah . what did you do ? mariah : i - i gave nick the opening he -- he clearly wanted . i met him halfway ... in lingerie . ian : oh . and how did he react ? mariah : he did n't . sharon came in before he did and totally flipped out . ian : mariah , i warned you about acting on feelings like this . you put everything at risk . mariah : what everything ? i stalked the woman , then she gave me a job , a bed , and a bowl of ice cream . she is a freak , and , apparently , she has some secret that can destroy nick . ian : all i care about is you , and you deserve love , fulfillment . but you have to be mindful , aware , present . mariah : i was present . i was a damn present wrapped up for nick ... ian : [ sighs ] mariah : ... not sharon . i tried to tell her that the outfit was for somebody else , but she blew up and then threw me out -- not before she said every nasty thing she could think of . ian : then did you lash out at her ? or did you do the things i taught you ? mariah : i was n't gon na take it -- not from her . god , i - i hate her . i just -- i - i just hate that woman . but it 's over . it 's over , and i can leave this place and forget that i knew anyone in this town . ian : oh , mariah , i 've known you from the time you were a little baby to now , a young , beautiful woman , and i believe that our path has led to this very moment . things can still work out the way they 're supposed to . sharon : ian ? nick : yeah . grace helped me piece it all together . sharon : you talked to grace ? nick : she remembered the nurse that day . it was helen , and she remembered how helen would n't let grace or doris back in the room to see you . sharon : another baby -- there 's -- there could n't have been , nick . i would have known . i would have felt it . nick : you were young and terrified , and they had drugged you up . sharon : no , you were n't there . you do n't know . nick : well , i talked to dr. hill , and he is the man who delivered cassie ... and mariah . sharon , he confessed to the whole thing . sharon : i never even knew if it was a boy or a girl . they never let me hold my baby . and then i remember screaming , and the nurse came in and gave me a shot . i just wanted to see her . i just wanted to see my baby . i remember the sedative set in , and after that ... nothing . nick : helen realized that there was -- there was another baby -- one you did n't know about , one you 'd never know about . sharon : it 's true ... is n't it ? mariah -- she has cassie 's face because she 's cassie 's twin . sharon : how could i bring another life , another soul , into this world and not -- not feel it , not know it ? nick : sweetheart , you were a kid yourself . they drugged you . they manipulated you . sharon : no , no , i - i was carrying two babies . i - i should have felt that in my heart , in my mind . my child was out there in the world ... with people who did n't love her . mariah needed me . nick : you did n't know . you could n't have known . this is not your fault . sharon : i abandoned her , and then i did it again today . my daughter , my baby . i told mariah i wished i 'd never met her . i told my daughter that i never wanted to see her again . mariah : i ca n't wait to leave genoa city . ian : yeah , but nick and sharon took you in , gave you a job . mariah : because i have a dead girl 's face . ian : no , no , no . they could have wanted you gone after your little arrangement with victor , but they accepted you . and i 'd say that sharon even loves you ... for you , for who you are -- your spark , your humor , and that cynicism that covers a deep and complex heart . mariah : that 's what you see , not them . ian : maybe . maybe it is . maybe it 's because i 've known you since the day you were born . i watched you flourish , mariah . there are wonders in you -- endless wonders . and i - i believe , and i have faith that the world can and will see you as i see you . mariah : [ sighs ] you say it , and i almost believe it 's true . ian : oh , it is , honey . i know it is . you know , the first time i held you in my arms when you were a little baby , i sensed then the many ways that you would change my life -- i would see the world through your young and bright eyes -- your joy and my wisdom . were n't we always a great team ? mariah : yeah . ian : hmm ? mariah : [ voice breaking ] you have always been the only person i can trust . ian : oh . hilary : lily has been very thoughtful and generous . and we 've all been through a lot already , so let 's just cut each other some slack . jack : all we lost here was some food . i 'm sure there 's more where that came from . kelly : yeah , you know , i can run to the club . lily : no , i 'll do it . i 'm gon na find out what 's keeping cane . kelly : do you want some company ? lily : yeah , thanks . kelly : okay . neil : i think i 'm gon na go check out the kitchen for a minute . i heard a rumor that there 's , uh , some food in the freezer . hilary : yeah , there is , but we 're gon na have dinner up and ready in no time . devon : come on , dad . let 's go , uh , get hit defrost on some . neil : yeah . kelly : i think this family just needs a little time to de - stress . jack : you go with lily . i 'll find you later . hey . lily : ready for me and my fabulous mood ? kelly : come on . you just need a little 10 minutes . take a walk . big breath . you 'll be fine . jack : it gets complicated . i saw you with neil ... and devon . you get dropped into this family dynamic , and then this happens . it 's not easy . i just wish you could have called me ... to tell me about neil . hilary : yeah , it just -- there 's nothing that anybody can do . jack : and i 'm sure neil did n't want to tell the whole world about his blindness . hilary : he could see tomorrow , but until he does , we just ... jack : it will feel like an eternity . i know that . somebody once told me i 'd never walk again . hilary : god , you must have been terrified . jack : i was . so was everybody else around me . i did n't make it easy for them , either . look , what just happened is gon na happen again . neil -- well , what you just saw was his frustration and his fear talking . do n't take it personally . he loves you . and he 's lucky to have you in his life . hilary : i am the lucky one . jack : neil , i 'm gon na get out of your hair here . listen , why do n't you stop inking about business altogether and talk with your wife about your dream home ? neil : i appreciate you coming . i 'm just sorry you had to find out in this way . jack : neil , you 've faced other hills . you 've faced other demons . i 'm not worried about you . you 're gon na find your way through this , too . just know -- anything you need , day or night , you call me . neil : jack , you 're absolutely right . i 've got this . this is short - term , baby , you know ? strange . from every negative comes a positive . i can almost see without looking . jack : well , that 's a pretty clever parlor trick . neil : oh , yeah , man . it 's amazing how my other senses have begun to compensate . you know , i 'm hearing little things in people 's voices that i 've never heard before , that i never noticed before , and between words and the quiet , i can hear what people are thinking . you know ? sharon : i failed her since the moment she was born . mariah was raised by a predator and some woman who did n't love her , and then when i finally had her close , i threw her out . nick : the last thing i remember was you were sitting on the couch eating ice cream together . sharon : she was going to seduce you , nick . i found her here in lingerie waiting for you , only i showed up instead . nick : what are you talking about ? maybe you misunderstood . sharon : no , she admitted it . she thought that the two of you had some kind of chemistry , a connection . nick : with someone who looks like my daughter ? sharon : she hates that she looks so much like cassie , and you always made it clear that you thought the two of them were n't alike at all . nick : yeah , i 've been a lot nicer to her at work . i was trying not to chase her off until i could learn more about her past . sharon : i found her here in my home like that , in lingerie . in my home . i was -- i was so devastated and betrayed . but you know what ? of course she does that . of course she acts out like that and makes those choices . she was abandoned and unloved . and then i - i did it to her again today . i told my daughter to get out and never to come back . nick , we have got to find her . nick : yeah . i know the first place to look . cane : i went to bat for you with victor newman . i could have told him that you were behind the bonaventure deal , and i did n't . instead , i saved your ass . colin : trust me , my ass is very grateful , and i shall take that with me when i , uh , plan katherine 's event . cane : hey . you do remember what you said to me the last time i covered for you , right ?

[ clears throat ] kevin : [ sighing ] ah , yeah .

[ laughter ] rey : all i 'm saying is that everything feels like it 's finally the way it should be . celeste : mm - hmm . well , ' tis a mother 's duty to overstep ... so i 'm gon na take my chance . rey : oh , boy . here we go . lola : ooh ! here comes the lecture . rey : this one 's going straight to you . lola : oh , no , rey . this one is coming straight at you , so duck and cover , because she 's gon na read you like a book . sharon : so , after i turned down adam 's proposal , he saw me with nick , and he misinterpreted what was just an innocent hug . mariah : i hope he thinks you 're having a torrid affair with nick . it serves him right . sharon : i do n't know how i messed things up this much . mariah : mom , this was not you . this was all adam . he had no reason to think that you were into him , much less wanted to marry him . oh , no . sharon : that 's not entirely true . we had this ... interlude ... mariah : [ sighs ] sharon : ... a few weeks ago . i mean , well , he had gotten into a fight with nick , and he was in no shape to drive , so i just took him back to his place . and then one thing led to another . mariah : no . you didn't . you didn't . please tell me that you did not . sharon : well , i -- it was , you know , just a moment of weakness . i completely regretted it afterwards . mariah : thank god . but it 's obvious that you 're still attracted to him . sharon : [ sighs ] what we had between us was ... it was just all about our past , and , you know , but being with him made me realize that the man that i used to love is gone now , so ... i told adam that i do n't want to be with him . mariah : well , it 's just a shame that you did n't boot him out of your life before he drove away the one guy that was actually good for you -- rey . kevin : i ran in to billy . victoria : uh , yeah , i heard . kevin : he seemed a little ... unhappy , maybe . i was just hoping everything was okay . victoria : yeah , everything 's okay . it 's just with adam being back , it stirred up some painful memories for a while . kevin : for a lot of us . victoria : yeah . kevin : seeing him get a second chance after everything he 's done -- adam gets to move on with his life , like nothing has happened , leaving the rest of us to pick up the pieces . it 's ... impossible ... especially after the death of a child . i can imagine what billy is going through . not sleeping , distant . victoria : and the nightmares . kevin : about delia ? i ca n't be easy on you , being worried about him all the time . victoria : i - i am . i - i - i was . i mean , he 's just doing so much better now . kevin : oh . is that so ? victoria : did you hear about the jabot merger ? kevin : no . victoria : ashley left to start her own venture , but now she 's back , and she and jack are joining forces again . kevin : so , billy must have a lot on his plate these days . victoria : yeah , but it 's good , you now , to have something meaningful to focus on , something that he can contribute to , and it could n't have come at a better time . kevin : you think ? i mean , you 're not concerned he 's taking on too much ? victoria : no , not at all . in fact , he just left for a business trip . kevin : oh , good for him . where to ? victoria : california . why do you want to know where he 's going ? kevin : i , uh -- you know what ? actually , i have to run , but i 'm really glad to hear that he 's turned a corner , and it 's great to see you , victoria . victoria : you , too . `` the young and the restless `` will continue . `` the young and the restless `` will continue . celeste : i mean , maybe you 're right , rey , that this was the way things were supposed to be with arturo and mia , because i truly believe that there is something better for you . i do . maybe it just needs time to fall into place . and maybe that 's with sharon . rey : mom , sharon and i are -- lola : no . [ sighs ] i agree . rey , you know , i have been thinking the same thing , and maybe you should give sharon a second chance rey : i do n't know if that 's ever gon na happen . lola : hey , look , we know that things have gotten really messy between the two of you . but she made you happy , rey -- happier than i 've ever seen you . rey : lola , listen -- kyle : i 'd like to propose a toast . rey : a toast . that 's a great idea . what are we -- what are we toasting to , hmm ? kyle : to celeste for creating this terrific family . lola : to family . celeste : to family . rey : to us all . salud . celeste : and even though some of our loved ones are missing from this dinner table tonight , they are always with us in our hearts . so many beautiful memories , so much laughter . [ laughter ] but , i mean , do n't get me wrong . there have been hard times . it has n't always been easy . we 've had obstacles that we 've had to overcome , but ... we have always been there to help and support each other , and we 've been there to celebrate each other 's triumphs and to help through all the rest . and you two -- you 've grown into adults that other people look up to and love . i just -- i wish i did n't have to go . lola : we 're gon na come visit you . celeste : i know you 're gon na come visit , and often , but i was really glad that i got a chance to see you blossom here in your new homes and in your new lives . it fills my heart to see , after all these years , the two of you are still taking care of each other . that -- a mother 's dream come true . [ chuckles , sniffles ] rey : [ smooches ] lola : aww . [ glasses clink ] sharon : rey and i are through . there 's no point dwelling on it . mariah : but the only reason that you guys broke up is because he thought that you had feelings for adam , so maybe if you explain to him that you do n't , it could work out ? sharon : mm , that would be a hard sell . unfortunately , rey knows that i slept with adam . that 's why things were so tense between us at kyle and lola 's party . mariah : i would like to double down on my earlier apology for engineering that awkward scenario . sharon : oh , no . do n't feel bad . rey and i -- we 've just , you know , come to terms . we 're fine . mariah : that 's very zen of you . but be honest . if there was a multiverse in which rey wanted to reconcile with you , would you take him back ? sharon : you 've been hitting the sci - fi too hard . mariah : indulge me . sharon : okay . if i could bend the laws of time and space , i 'd take a mulligan on a lot of things . and my relationship with rey would be right at the top of that list . victoria : jack , hi . it 's victoria . i 'm great . thank you . i just had a question about billy 's business trip . to california . for jabot . oh . um ... well , maybe it was ashley 's idea . no , it 's not a big deal . we probably just got our wires crossed . i 'll track her down . no , no . it 's nothing serious . it 's -- it 's fine . we 'll talk soon . okay . bye . adam : what the hell is going on with billy ? victoria : i have no idea what you mean . billy is just fine . adam : i ran in to him in the park awhile back , and he accused me of planting an old doll of delia 's in your bedroom . victoria : well , who else would do something that twisted ? adam : okay , i would never use her memory that way . despite what everybody seems to think , i would never do something -- victoria : ... that you use your past as an excuse to lash out at innocent people , that you inflict as much damage as possible just for fun ? adam : ouch . victoria : but i know the truth , adam . you love creating chaos so that you can watch the fallout . it is fun for you . adam : actually , all i have done is try to reunite with my sons once i have moved back . victoria : i am so sick and tired of hearing your pathetic explanations for why you 've declared war on the rest of us newmans , but you should just watch out because we 're ready for you . you leave billy out of it , though . you 've hurt him enough . adam : billy came to me . victoria : do you know our lives were so much greater before you came back ? all billy wants is to focus on his family and his job . in fact , that 's what he 's doing right now . he 's out of town , working on the jabot merger . so , that is what 's going on with billy . you leave him and the rest of us the hell alone . do you understand ? rey : i 'll see you down there in a few . watch out for the rosales waterworks . kyle : ohh . lola : what waterworks ? i 'm not going to cry . celeste : me , neither . this is not goodbye . lola : no . it 's a `` see you soon . `` whenever i find some time off , we will come visit you in miami . celeste : kyle has n't met the rest of the rosales clan . kyle : the more , the merrier . celeste : he does n't know what he 's in for , does he ? lola : no . mnh - mnh . celeste : [ chuckles ] i 'm so proud of you , baby . so proud of all that you 've accomplished . you have just grown into such a strong , fearless woman . lola : well , what can i say ? i am a rosales . i got it all from you . lola : i wish you did n't have to go . celeste : i know . so do i . lola : and no more fights , okay ? because it killed me not being able to talk to you . celeste : never again . my daughter ... a married woman . [ chuckles ] lola : and us married ladies -- we share our opinion no matter what . celeste : oh , why am i afraid of what might come out of your mouth ? lola : mom , just promise me that you wo n't fall for dad 's empty promises ever again . celeste : i am a charter member of aa -- adrian 's anonymous -- so , no , i 'm not gon na ever make that mistake again . lola : great , because i will be checking up on you . lola : okay . i 'm gon na hold you to that . [ chuckles ] take care of my girl . she means everything to me . kyle : always . you have my word .

kyle tries to install the new air conditioner at the apartment but he overloads the circuits and the lights go out so lola decides to invite her mother and rey over for a bon voyage dinner for celeste so that all the food in the refrigerator will not spoil . the family shares dinner and they tell stories and kyle is happy to be a part of such a wonderful family . celeste and lola encourage rey to give sharon a second chance but he tells them that relationship ca n't be fixed . lola cries as she says goodbye to her mother and celeste tells kyle and lola to take care of each other . mariah also talks to sharon and encourages her to give rey another chance but sharon tells her that rey caught her after she slept with adam and that is why they ca n't reconcile . adam runs goes all over town asking people if they sent him that mysterious text message and mariah , kevin , and victoria all say they did n't do it . chloe tells kevin about billy 's latest strange behavior and begs him to stop billy before he does something dangerous . billy lies to victoria and tells her that he is going on a business trip to california about the jabot merger and he should only be gone a few days . kevin later talks to victoria and tells her he knows about billy 's nightmares and she tells him billy is doing better . victoria tells kevin that billy has gone to california about the jabot merger and kevin tells her that he is sure about that so that prompts victoria to call jack . jack tells her that there is n't any business trip which worries victoria but when adam talks to her about billy she says he is fine and away on a business trip to california . victoria leaves a message for billy on his phone asking him not to do whatever he has planned because she loves and needs him . billy sends a text to adam with a picture of his mother 's handkerchief and adam heads to the curve on route 7 . adam shouts for the mysterious texter to show themselves and billy starts his car and heads full speed towards a person who he thinks is adam but he hits someone else with his car .

kevin : i do n't know what you want . adam : i want your honesty and your trustworthiness , okay ? you should have left well enough alone , but now you 're here and you 're trying to get your revenge . hmm ?

why not let him handle it ? it 's not as if he has anyone that needs him at home . billy : i do n't think jack would like your saying that . victoria : well , you know what i mean . you were never for this merger in the first place . why did n't you just say no ? billy : you 're right . i could do that . but it 's gon na happen anyway , so i got one or two choices . i can either support the company 100 % , or i can go look for another job . victoria : well , i don't ... billy : it does n't mean that i 'm gon na trust ashley after everything she did -- all the tricks that she pulled . she almost single - handedly ruined our family company twice . i 'll try to forgive her , but i wo n't forget . victoria : well , i 've never been able to give ashley the benefit of the doubt . billy : i have to give her a chance [ sighs ] for the future of the company . victoria : i know , billy , but it 's just the timing . billy : i understand . victoria : with everything that 's going on and adam waging war against the newmans , i want you here . you belong with us . kevin : i 'm here because esther wanted me here to take care of some stuff and help her out . adam : oh , poor thing . i hope she 's okay . kevin : she is now . adam : i 'd love to look in on her , offer my services . i mean , why fly you halfway across the country to lend a hand when she has people here who will gladly do the job ?

adam : you tell me . kevin : look , adam ... do i hate you for what you did to delia ? absolutely . do i hate that you held chloe 's freedom over my head and forced me into indentured servitude ? yeah , i do . but that is not worth the momentary satisfaction of screwing with you , and i sure as hell would n't use my dead stepdaughter 's memory to do it ! adam : give me one reason why i should believe you . kevin : because i have my family back ! that 's all i ever wanted ! i would n't jeopardize that to play some mind games with you ! adam : what about chloe ? kevin : no . there is no way . she knows how close she came to losing everything . she loves bella and our life together , and there is no way she would risk that . we have both done everything you have asked of us , so whoever is playing these games with you , it is n't me , and it 's not chloe . so leave us alone . get out of here . adam : okay , but if you 're lying to me , kevin ... kevin : never . adam : ... i can still make your life very difficult in the blink of an eye . do n't ever cross me . kevin : chloe , please . i need to hear you say it . tell me it was n't you . there 's just no easy answers ... additional sponsorship lola : [ gasps ] [ chuckles ] kyle : all hail the conquering hero . i have given you light . i 've called sharon to let her know what happened , but crisis averted . lola : not quite . kyle : uh , what now ?

lola : because i have got a plan . kyle : oh . you called a legit repairman ? lola : better . i just invited rey and mom over for dinner here . kyle : but the whole idea was that you would n't have to cook tonight . lola : but i love cooking , especially for my family , and it just feels right that we have my mom 's bon voyage party here . kyle : well , as long as you 're up for it . what 's on the menu ? lola : everything that 's in the freezer , 'cause tonight we eat like kings . kyle : mm . lola : let 's go see what 's in there . kyle : [ chuckles ] chloe : no , you have to believe me . i did n't send that text to adam . kevin : i - i hated having to ask , but i needed to know . i - i needed to hear it . chloe : i know , and it is adam and he is dangerous and he keeps his promises , but so do i , and i swore to you that i was never going to hurt adam again . kevin : i 'm sorry . i - i believe you . i - i do . it 's just he -- he swoops in here out of the blue , making all these accusations . he has got that text . i do n't know what to think . chloe : i do . it was billy . billy sent that text . kevin : no . he would never . chloe : yes , he did . think about it . kevin : i - i know he 's been a little out of sorts . you told me about the nightmares he was having . chloe : and what happened with bella . i mean , she was pretty freaked out . kevin : yeah . it freaked us out , too . chloe : and that 's why i took the risk to go see him again . and did he tell you that he 's been waking up in these strange places and not knowing how he got there ? kevin : what else did he say ? chloe : well , he 's having these dreams about delia -- that she 's lost and afraid and she needs him to protect her . i mean , he is in pain . i could hear it in his voice . i could see it in his walk . he 's haunted . kevin : i know he 's been struggling . chloe : no . he is falling apart , and i know what that looks like . i mean , that look in his eyes , the thoughts that you ca n't shake , the feeling there 's ... that you just ca n't make it go away . i hate that i 'm even thinking this , but i am afraid that billy is going to do something to really hurt adam . kevin : well , that would be ... unfortunate , but -- chloe : we have to help billy . we have to stop him before he does something that he ca n't take back , and we need to stop him now , before it 's too late . kevin : look , i - i hate that he 's going through this , but there 's nothing we can do . we have too much to lose . victoria : if you want to get more involved at jabot , i am all - in . i 'm right there with you . billy : thank you . victoria : and i 'm very proud of you for having this positive attitude about the merger , because what 's good for jabot is ultimately good for you . billy : it 's a quick business trip . victoria : no , i know . billy : it 's not forever . victoria : no , i know . i know . billy : and if things go ... like i 'm hoping , it 'll change everything . victoria : yeah . and maybe it would be good for you to get out of town for a while , have a change of scenery and just decompress . billy : ca n't hurt . victoria : no , it can't . i 'm just -- i wish i could go with you , and i feel completely mortified that i 'm making it sound like -- billy : like you need me ? victoria : yeah , that . billy : i need you , too . but i also know how brave you are , and adam knows how brave you are . quick trip to cali and i 'll be back before you miss me . victoria : it 's too late ! i already miss you . billy : do n't worry . i have a feeling adam wo n't be waging war on anyone while i 'm gone . kevin : we barely dodged a bullet with adam . he knew that i was in town . if he finds out you 're here , too , before michael lines everything up to take care of your legal problems , adam will find out what we 're up to and blow it out of the water . then you go to prison and bella loses her mother . i 'm sorry . i 'm not gon na let that happen . chloe : when i went back to portland after i was held hostage by adam , i asked billy to look out for you and to make sure that you were safe , and he did that for us . and it only made things harder for him . he is suffering . kevin : are you willing to sacrifice your freedom for his ? chloe : i think that we can help him without getting ourselves into trouble . we have to . look , i know what he 's going through because i deal with that pain and suffering every day , and it is never - ending , an overwhelming battle of trying to keep it under control . kevin : but you found a way through . chloe : yeah , because of bella and you . but when you are in that dark place ... you do n't even know how to ask for help . it is impossible to see the light . we have to help him . think about -- think about johnny ... and katie and victoria . kevin : well , did billy say something -- anything -- that made you think he was gunning for adam ? chloe : i told him that any amount of energy he spent on adam was a waste . it was n't worth it . kevin : and how did he respond ? chloe : [ sighs ] he said that when i pulled the trigger and shot adam , i should have aimed higher . kevin : [ sighing ] ay . that 's dark , even for billy . chloe : and then he came later , and he told me that i was right , that he had -- he had found a way to deal with his issues with adam . kevin : well , that 's good , right ? maybe he 's gon na go get some counseling or try yoga . maybe he was just venting and he realized he went too far . chloe : no . it scared me ... even more because he was calm and detached . it was like he had made a decision that he was already going to do something that would hurt him or someone else . and if adam retaliates , does more damage , if he ruins more people 's lives , that is a burden that we are going to have to carry . kevin : what about our lives ? chloe : look , i know that i took a risk going to see him , and i know that if i go back out there and if someone sees me , then all of the work that michael has done -- i mean , it is going to be ruined , and our plans are gon na come crashing down , but we have to help him . kevin : how ? wh - wh - what do you want me to do ? chloe : i need you to go out there and prove me wrong . make sure that billy is safe and that adam is n't going to do anything to hurt him . please ? will you please do this for me ? do it for delia . it 's what she would want . celeste : oh . that 's good . rey : so , you decided to fix the air - conditioning all by yourself , huh , big guy ? kyle : not one of my best ideas . rey : next time just call the professionals -- or me . i 'll give you a hand . kyle : thanks , man . rey : no problem . and just so you know , now that you put a ring on it , you do n't have to try so hard to impress her . kyle : i 'm not so sure . lola : hey , kyle has nothing to prove . he has worked very , very hard . celeste : mm . has your father never taught you to build anything or do any household fixes or ... ? kyle : none of the above , actually , which is why i was so determined to try to repair it myself . i could have called sharon , have her pay someone to fix it . that 's how i was raised , how i lived my whole life . but when i look back on the things i 've done , the stupid stuff i pulled ... rey : rich , entitled , privileged pipsqueak ? lola : rey , not fair . kyle : no , no , no . he 's right . he 's right . but ... i used to make fun of people who said they were trying to live their life with intention , but that 's what i 'm trying to do now -- embrace the aspects of life that i used to avoid -- become a well - rounded person . and i know i 've got a long way to go before i 'm as handy as the rosales crew , but -- lola : why do n't you reach a little higher than those two , will you ? rey : excuse me . if it were n't for me , that food truck of yours would have never made it around the block . lola : i fixed it myself . rey : because i taught you . lola : you know what else rey is really good at ? rey : everything ? lola : rewriting history ! mama ? rey : whoa , whoa . there you go running off to mom . you need to fight your own fights . lola : oh , okay . you want to go ? let 's go . rey : did i ever tell you i taught her to box ? kyle : yeah . lola : oh , okay . there he goes again , you know , making up stories . is it the heat ? do n't worry . do n't listen to him , baby . he 's hallucinating . look . oh , look . a glass of water . rey , do you need a glass of water ? rey : mom , can you please -- celeste : no , no , no . you got to leave me out of this , you two . [ laughter ] lola : why are you smiling like that ? what 's wrong ? kyle : nothing ... at all . i 've just never been part of a family that 's so ... celeste : crazy ? rey : loud ? lola : out of control ? kyle : ... full of life and excitement and fun . i 'm glad our kids are gon na grow up in a family as big and happy as this one . celeste : kids ? whoa . wait . wha -- do you have some good news you want to share ? mariah : before you came back to genoa city , my mom was happy . so why did you have to take a wrecking ball to her life ? adam : mariah , i have a -- i have a lot on my mind , so , uh , now 's not a good time to get on my case about sharon . mariah : you know , i wish you would just do her and everybody else a favor and go back to vegas . adam : wait a minute . you are not above using the memory of a dead girl to manipulate people . did you send me that text ? mariah : what text ? i do n't have your number , nor do i want to . adam : never mind . [ clears throat ] kevin : [ sighing ] ah , yeah . [ exhales sharply ] okay . kevin : victoria ? victoria : hey , kevin ! kevin : hey ! victoria : i was wondering when i was gon na run in to you again . kevin : well , i guess tonight is your lucky night . victoria : i guess so ! have a seat . kevin : oh , thanks . victoria : i heard you were back . kevin : yeah . i was , uh , just taking care of things for esther . victoria : oh , well ... it 's good that she has you . kevin : well , there 's nothing i would n't do for my girls . victoria : yeah . how is bella ? kevin : she 's a handful . victoria : yeah ? kevin : she is too smart , too funny , too beautiful for words . makes me wonder who 's really in charge -- me or her . victoria : [ chuckles ] i guess she has you wrapped around her little finger . kevin : mm . she 's the love of my life . you know how it is , with katie and johnny . victoria : oh , yeah . it 's an adventure every day . kevin : uh - huh . victoria : [ chuckles ] kevin : well , at least you have billy to balance things out . victoria : yeah . kevin : how 's he doing ? victoria : well , between work and the kids , he 's very busy . kevin : so , things are going well at jabot ? i mean , he 's happy ? victoria : why do you ask ? i 'm phil mickelson . lola : yeah , no babies . celeste : ever ? lola : not never , just ... not now . celeste : well , kyle said -- kyle : i was only talking about one of our possible futures when we 're ready . lola : we 're just starting out . i want to enjoy this part of our lives together , being a couple , doing couple things , and sleeping in when we want . kyle : going out when we can . lola : and there are still so many things that we want to do . rey : that 's smart . you both are still so young . there 's no need to rush . as long as you know what the other one wants , what you believe in , where you stand , that 's a -- that 's a good foundation . celeste : well , i am just happy that you have so much love for each other and that you are gon na start a family . lola : eventually . celeste : oh , well , alright . until then , i will just have to spoil my other grandbaby . oh . i am sorry . rey : no , please , mom . celeste : i did n't mean to bring that up . rey : no , listen . listen . this kid is going to be my nephew or niece ... the soon - to - be newest member of our loud , crazy , beautiful family . i 'm happy for arturo , and i 'm gon na welcome this kid with open arms and all the love in my heart . celeste : you are a good son . rey : do n't forget handsome . celeste : you are a handsome son . [ laughter ] rey : all i 'm saying is that everything feels like it 's finally the way it should be . celeste : mm - hmm . well , ' tis a mother 's duty to overstep ... so i 'm gon na take my chance . rey : oh , boy . here we go . lola : ooh ! here comes the lecture . rey : this one 's going straight to you . lola : oh , no , rey . this one is coming straight at you , so duck and cover , because she 's gon na read you like a book . sharon : so , after i turned down adam 's proposal , he saw me with nick , and he misinterpreted what was just an innocent hug . mariah : i hope he thinks you 're having a torrid affair with nick . it serves him right . sharon : i do n't know how i messed things up this much . mariah : mom , this was not you . this was all adam . he had no reason to think that you were into him , much less wanted to marry him . oh , no . sharon : that 's not entirely true . we had this ... interlude ... mariah : [ sighs ] sharon : ... a few weeks ago . i mean , well , he had gotten into a fight with nick , and he was in no shape to drive , so i just took him back to his place . and then one thing led to another . mariah : no . you didn't . you didn't . please tell me that you did not . sharon : well , i -- it was , you know , just a moment of weakness . i completely regretted it afterwards . mariah : thank god . but it 's obvious that you 're still attracted to him . sharon : [ sighs ] what we had between us was ... it was just all about our past , and , you know , but being with him made me realize that the man that i used to love is gone now , so ... i told adam that i do n't want to be with him . mariah : well , it 's just a shame that you did n't boot him out of your life before he drove away the one guy that was actually good for you -- rey . kevin : i ran in to billy . victoria : uh , yeah , i heard . kevin : he seemed a little ... unhappy , maybe . i was just hoping everything was okay . victoria : yeah , everything 's okay . it 's just with adam being back , it stirred up some painful memories for a while . kevin : for a lot of us . victoria : yeah . kevin : seeing him get a second chance after everything he 's done -- adam gets to move on with his life , like nothing has happened , leaving the rest of us to pick up the pieces . it 's ... impossible ... especially after the death of a child . i can imagine what billy is going through . not sleeping , distant . victoria : and the nightmares . kevin : about delia ? i ca n't be easy on you , being worried about him all the time . victoria : i - i am . i - i - i was . i mean , he 's just doing so much better now . kevin : oh . is that so ? victoria : did you hear about the jabot merger ? kevin : no . victoria : ashley left to start her own venture , but now she 's back , and she and jack are joining forces again . kevin : so , billy must have a lot on his plate these days . victoria : yeah , but it 's good , you now , to have something meaningful to focus on , something that he can contribute to , and it could n't have come at a better time . kevin : you think ? i mean , you 're not concerned he 's taking on too much ? victoria : no , not at all . in fact , he just left for a business trip . kevin : oh , good for him . where to ? victoria : california . why do you want to know where he 's going ? kevin : i , uh -- you know what ? actually , i have to run , but i 'm really glad to hear that he 's turned a corner , and it 's great to see you , victoria . victoria : you , too . `` the young and the restless `` will continue . `` the young and the restless `` will continue . celeste : i mean , maybe you 're right , rey , that this was the way things were supposed to be with arturo and mia , because i truly believe that there is something better for you . i do . maybe it just needs time to fall into place . and maybe that 's with sharon . rey : mom , sharon and i are -- lola : no . [ sighs ] i agree . rey , you know , i have been thinking the same thing , and maybe you should give sharon a second chance rey : i do n't know if that 's ever gon na happen . lola : hey , look , we know that things have gotten really messy between the two of you . but she made you happy , rey -- happier than i 've ever seen you . rey : lola , listen -- kyle : i 'd like to propose a toast . rey : a toast . that 's a great idea . what are we -- what are we toasting to , hmm ? kyle : to celeste for creating this terrific family . lola : to family . celeste : to family . rey : to us all . salud . celeste : and even though some of our loved ones are missing from this dinner table tonight , they are always with us in our hearts . so many beautiful memories , so much laughter . [ laughter ] but , i mean , do n't get me wrong . there have been hard times . it has n't always been easy . we 've had obstacles that we 've had to overcome , but ... we have always been there to help and support each other , and we 've been there to celebrate each other 's triumphs and to help through all the rest . and you two -- you 've grown into adults that other people look up to and love . i just -- i wish i did n't have to go . lola : we 're gon na come visit you . celeste : i know you 're gon na come visit , and often , but i was really glad that i got a chance to see you blossom here in your new homes and in your new lives . it fills my heart to see , after all these years , the two of you are still taking care of each other . that -- a mother 's dream come true . [ chuckles , sniffles ] rey : [ smooches ] lola : aww . [ glasses clink ] sharon : rey and i are through . there 's no point dwelling on it . mariah : but the only reason that you guys broke up is because he thought that you had feelings for adam , so maybe if you explain to him that you do n't , it could work out ? sharon : mm , that would be a hard sell . unfortunately , rey knows that i slept with adam . that 's why things were so tense between us at kyle and lola 's party . mariah : i would like to double down on my earlier apology for engineering that awkward scenario . sharon : oh , no . do n't feel bad . rey and i -- we 've just , you know , come to terms . we 're fine . mariah : that 's very zen of you . but be honest . if there was a multiverse in which rey wanted to reconcile with you , would you take him back ? sharon : you 've been hitting the sci - fi too hard . mariah : indulge me . sharon : okay . if i could bend the laws of time and space , i 'd take a mulligan on a lot of things . and my relationship with rey would be right at the top of that list . victoria : jack , hi . it 's victoria . i 'm great . thank you . i just had a question about billy 's business trip . to california . for jabot . oh . um ... well , maybe it was ashley 's idea . no , it 's not a big deal . we probably just got our wires crossed . i 'll track her down . no , no . it 's nothing serious . it 's -- it 's fine . we 'll talk soon . okay . bye . adam : what the hell is going on with billy ? victoria : i have no idea what you mean . billy is just fine . adam : i ran in to him in the park awhile back , and he accused me of planting an old doll of delia 's in your bedroom . victoria : well , who else would do something that twisted ? adam : okay , i would never use her memory that way . despite what everybody seems to think , i would never do something -- victoria : ... that you use your past as an excuse to lash out at innocent people , that you inflict as much damage as possible just for fun ? adam : ouch . victoria : but i know the truth , adam . you love creating chaos so that you can watch the fallout . it is fun for you . adam : actually , all i have done is try to reunite with my sons once i have moved back . victoria : i am so sick and tired of hearing your pathetic explanations for why you 've declared war on the rest of us newmans , but you should just watch out because we 're ready for you . you leave billy out of it , though . you 've hurt him enough . adam : billy came to me . victoria : do you know our lives were so much greater before you came back ? all billy wants is to focus on his family and his job . in fact , that 's what he 's doing right now . he 's out of town , working on the jabot merger . so , that is what 's going on with billy . you leave him and the rest of us the hell alone . do you understand ? rey : i 'll see you down there in a few . watch out for the rosales waterworks . kyle : ohh . lola : what waterworks ? i 'm not going to cry . celeste : me , neither . this is not goodbye . lola : no . it 's a `` see you soon . `` whenever i find some time off , we will come visit you in miami . celeste : kyle has n't met the rest of the rosales clan . kyle : the more , the merrier . celeste : he does n't know what he 's in for , does he ? lola : no . mnh - mnh . celeste : [ chuckles ] i 'm so proud of you , baby . so proud of all that you 've accomplished . you have just grown into such a strong , fearless woman . lola : well , what can i say ? i am a rosales . i got it all from you . lola : i wish you did n't have to go . celeste : i know . so do i . lola : and no more fights , okay ? because it killed me not being able to talk to you . celeste : never again . my daughter ... a married woman .

victor : it 's a `` yes `` or `` no `` proposition . you should n't take such a long time to think about it . while i 'm in here , you run newman enterprises . when i get out of here , i resume my rightful place . and you 'll be assured of your freedom . how 's that ? if not , you take your chances in court . adam : so , all this evidence that makes me look guilty -- this -- this evidence is just gon na ... disappear ? victor : the scales of justice can always be tipped ... adam : oh , okay . i see . victor : ... one way or the other , okay ? adam : right , right , right , right . victor : so , yes or no ? it 's up to you . adam : so , all i have to do is swallow my pride , right ? along with every single vow i ever made to my wife , and then just agree to come work with you . victor : well , think about it . one day soon , these restraints will no longer hold me back . i 'll be back running my company . and you will have your freedom . do we have a deal ? kevin : it 's a dead end . chelsea : seriously ? there 's no other footage of this mystery woman ? kevin : i really thought we were on to something , but i have checked every frame from every camera on the route from the prison front door to the visiting room . chelsea : okay , well -- kevin : `` dorothy gale `` never lifts her head once and always turns her back in the visiting room . chelsea : well , there has to be some other way we i.d . her . maybe we should n't be focusing on her face . maybe we should be focusing on her motive . i mean , who would want to help victor take down adam ? kevin : someone who needs a lot of cash . i know victor pays well for this kind of project . chelsea : yeah , or maybe somebody he 's blackmailing . kevin : well , it does n't really narrow things down much . when you add up the list of people that victor has leverage on or could buy off or intimidate ... chelsea : it could be anyone .

[ gasps ] billy , do you have company again ? billy : no . i do n't have company . i 'm by myself . what , did you fly in from chicago just to check up on me ? jill : honey , if you will recall , when i signed this house over to you , it was with the proviso that i could drop in at anytime , that i would always have a suite here . although , with recent events , maybe i should employ that loophole . billy : what loophole ? what are you talking about ? jill : oh , you do n't remember ? the one that says i can take this mansion back at any time , for any reason , and you get the lauren : your mind is on adam 's case . michael : if judge walker does n't declare a mistrial , adam can still be tried for murder . and our star witness , ian ward , has been thoroughly discredited . turns out he was a complete loon . who knew ? lauren : mm , i think we all did , honey . michael : there 's a good chance this case could go to the jury . what am i supposed to do then ? lauren : you , my love , are supposed to be grateful for our lives . when i heard about the shooting at the courthouse , i thought that you could get caught in that crossfire . i - i mean , the thought of losing you -- michael : no , no , no , no , no , no , no . i 'm not going anywhere . lauren : promise ? michael : oh , yeah . billy : you 're joking about that loophole , right ? jill : oh , dear . does this mean that you did n't read the contract we signed ? billy : obviously i should have . jill : you know what ? this is more than a house to me . all right ? this stands for something , and if you 're gon na continue to turn it into a swinging bachelor pad , i 'm gon na have to take it back . billy : come on , mom . you want to go check the master suite , go ahead . be my guest . jill : darling , i do n't have to snoop . billy : why do you say it like that ? jill : because even in chicago , i hear things . billy : oh , you hear things ? jill : yes , for example , that you have been neglecting brash & sassy ! , and i have no doubt it 's because you 're distracted by some ... entanglement . billy : okay , so just because you hear things , i 'm gon na set the truth here . i 'm not entangled in any sort of relationship . do n't worry about that . jill : what would you call it , then ? billy : i would call it a grown man that has kids of his own that does n't need his mother telling him how to live . jill : okay . point taken . point taken . now , would you mind tucking in that shirt and try to look presentable ? 'cause you 're taking mama out to dinner . frankly , i 'm getting just a little bit nauseated looking at this hideous paint color . phyllis : okay . obviously you 're not interested in me getting any work done , so let 's just go home . let 's call it a night , okay ? jack : you 're not in the mood . again . phyllis : jack ... jack : i know why . you feel guilty . phyllis : why would you say something like that ? jack : you 're still blaming yourself for what happened on my birthday when you drank a little too much and fell asleep at the cabin . and you think i 'm holding it against you . phyllis : you were excited to get away . i drank too much . i passed out . jack : no , no , no . if anyone should feel guilty , it 's me for leaving you alone there the next day . if i 'd been there when ian got there -- phyllis : jack , that 's over now . and i told you , i want to forget about the cabin and everything that happened in the cabin , okay ? just everything . jack : helping you forget is my top priority . i want to wipe every bad memory from your brain . i want you to know how much i love you , how grateful i am to have you in my life , in my arms ... [ whispers indistinctly ] phyllis : [ chuckles ] here ? now ? victoria : you want us to take back what we said at the trial ? come on , mom . it was all true . you 'd be asking us to perjure ourselves . nikki : no , no , no . it would n't be like that at all . the way dylan explained it is we would go as a group to a review board , and we would not deny any of the facts . i mean , your father did break the law , and -- and that 's that . we ca n't change that . but we explain that , at the time , we were very , very angry with him . we wanted to see him punished , and , therefore , our testimony was quite emotional and perhaps that swayed the jury more than it should have . victoria : and dylan thinks the review board will go for that ? nikki : we wo n't know if we do n't try . but the thing is this -- it has to be all of us -- me , you , your brother , abby , even adam . honey , do you think that you could join me in this ? please , say yes . victoria : i do n't know , mom . i mean , despite everything , he 's still my father , and 10 years behind bars is -- it 's an eternity . not that our testimony would sway anyone . dad would need somebody that hated him that would be willing to say that he 'd earned his freedom . nikki : okay , well , now we 're talking about phyllis . and he saved her life , too . i would hope that she would be willing to put her hurt and anger aside just to repay him for that . victoria : yeah , well , that 's the best - case scenario , mom . if we approach her with this , there 's an excellent chance she 's gon na laugh in our faces . nikki : well , i 'm really glad that you said `` we , `` because she has n't been answering my phone calls . but i was thinking if you went to her alone and -- and spoke with her as a woman who has also been hurt by victor 's machinations ... victoria : do you really think she 'll listen ? nikki : we give it a shot . adam : you know , i 've shaken hands with the devil before . victor : mm - hmm . adam : and surprise , surprise , son of a bitch always wins . victor : [ chuckles ] adam : what do you think about that ? victor : well , if you agreed to work with me , we 'd both win . adam : how 's that ? victor : you 'd go free , and you and i would both run the company . because you are as ambitious and driven , and you have the intestinal fortitude to keep this company on top . adam : i see . i feel like you 're underestimating victoria . you always have , you know ? which is a shame , because she 's the one who wants everything that you have to offer . you know , she wants to be exactly like you , dad . victor : hold on a minute . do n't tell me about victoria . i adore victoria . i love her with all my heart . and she is certainly capable of running this company . she has only one flaw . adam : enlighten me . victor : she 's emotionally involved and susceptible to that useless billy boy abbott . adam : mm . victor : you , however , are not held back by emotional feelings , are you ? you 're as hard - ass as the man you 're looking at right now . adam : you never understood me , did you ? victor : [ chuckles ] probably not . adam : probably not . you probably never will , either . you see , i have my own life , my own dreams , my own goals . i have my own family , so you went to all this trouble , you know , and you dragged me back here , and you indict me ? and it 's useless . it 's a waste of your time , so you can take your deal , dad , you know , and you can go straight to hell , all right ? nikki : michael , i see that it 's date night , and i 'm sorry . i do n't mean to intrude . michael : oh , it 's no problem . what 's up ? nikki : did you get my message about calling off the divorce ? michael : i did . the papers were already on the judge 's desk , waiting for his signature . nikki : oh , my god . what does that mean ? i - is it too late to call it off ? jill : lauren . lauren : oh , my goodness ! i 'm so happy to see you ! jill : whoa ! you look fabulous . lauren : oh , so do you . hi , honey . billy : hey . how are you ? lauren : i did n't even know you were in town . jill : i just got in . i mean , somebody 's got to keep this one from going completely rogue . lauren : uh , yeah . so , then you know about brash & sassy ! the first quarter was n't great . billy : all right . i 'm gon na go sit over here . lauren : no , no . you 're gon na come sit with your aunt . michael 's doing a little business with nikki . jill : that sounds lovely . let 's do it . lauren : and , you know , honey , it happens . it 's probably just a speed bump , a little dip in sales . billy : you know , that 's how i look at it . lauren : good . jill : i would really like your take on how billy could bump up his market share . and i 'm sure that victoria would have some ideas . i mean , the youth line was her baby . billy : okay , i 'm not going to pester victoria with this . the reason why i bought this division was to keep victor from selling it to somebody outside the family , all right ? it 's victoria that does n't want to work with me on it . jill : tell me something , sis . are all men this thick , or is it just my son ? does he not realize that victoria is crazy about him ? lauren : and i think she has a new man in her life . jill : whoa . that means billy has to fight for her . billy : wow . how did i make it through life without your advice ? jill : well , i do not know , but you have us now . lauren : it 's true . [ lauren and jill chuckle ] [ knock on door ] victoria : oh . phyllis : victoria . victoria : uh ... phyllis : oh , no , no , no . it 's okay . come on in . come on in . it 's fine . victoria : sorry . i -- phyllis : no , it 's okay . victoria : i guess i should have called first . um ... it 's about my father , and so it could n't wait . jack : what has victor done now ? victoria : he 's mounting an appeal , and in light of everything that 's happened , we 're rallying around him to help . phyllis : you want to help victor ? jack : well , the family 's there to support him . yeah , i - i respect that decision . phyllis : you do ? jack : well , it is n't like it 's been easy for the family with him in prison . they 've all suffered in their own way . phyllis : because of victor . victoria : well , he 's suffered as well , and it needs to end . phyllis : we are his victims . have you forgotten that ? if you 've come here for sympathy , i 'm sorry -- victoria : i 've come here to ask you to join my family and to speak up for him at his appeal . phyllis : are you seriously asking me this right now , victoria ? victoria : he just saved your life . jack : and i , for one , am eternally grateful . phyllis : he did what he needed to do for himself . he is no hero , and i do not think that he needs his freedom back . jack : okay . let 's all take a deep breath and calm down . phyllis : my answer 's no . hell no . victoria : i hope you reconsider . phyllis : the woman 's delusional . so much for you showing me how much you love me . you just took victor 's side without skipping a beat . victor : it 's good to see you . meredith : i 've been worried . victor : no more than i 've been worried about you . i hope your helping me to escape did n't get you into trouble . meredith : well ... [ chuckles ] i knew the risks . do n't think i 'd do it again , especially if they 're going to try me as an accessory or fire me . i do n't know . victor : if that happens , i 'll hire the best defense team money can buy . meredith : well , i appreciate that gesture . victor : i mean , who knows what ian ward would have done to nikki had i not been able to interfere . meredith : i saw how much you loved her . victor : i meant it when i said i cared for you . meredith : i know you did . but you risked it all to rescue nikki . that told me everything that i needed to know . i 've made peace with it . i 'm fine . your family means -- gosh , they just mean everything to you , even more than your own life . it 's who you are . victor : you 're a very warm - hearted person . you 're a very kind person . adam : kevin , what -- kevin : uh , we 've just been doing some research . chelsea : how did it go with victor ? do n't worry . kevin 's on our side . we can trust him . adam : well , uh , my father 's the one who framed me , that 's for sure . chelsea : he admitted that ? adam : well , not in so many words , but he did reference the fact that the original pages of sage 's journal are out there somewhere , which means the ones incriminating me are forged . kevin : [ sighs ] okay . i 'm gon na check all the obvious hiding spaces -- safety deposit boxes , storage units . chelsea : that 's a good idea . adam : thank you . kevin : yeah . okay . chelsea : thank you , kevin . okay . so , if victor can get these charges dropped , he 's obviously gon na expect something in return . so , what is it this time ? adam : well , he wants me to chelsea : let me get this straight . your father played god from inside of a prison cell all just to get you back to newman enterprises ? adam : well , it 's more than just a job to him . right ? it 's an act of love . it 's his way of making me his heir apparent . chelsea : while also making you indebted to him for the rest of your life . [ sighs ] adam : if i had n't found you , if we did n't have connor , i might be tempted , you know ? but thank god i had enough common sense to throw his offer back in his face . chelsea : wait . you did what ? adam : what do you mean i did what ? the man framed me , sweetheart . i 'm not gon na reward that kind of viciousness . chelsea : no . adam : right ? chelsea : no , not right at all . adam , come on . better an office at newman than inside of a prison cell . nikki : there has got to be some way of retrieving those papers . we do n't want this divorce . michael : it 's okay . it was n't easy , and i may have to lose a lot of rounds of chess to the judge , but , um ... here they are . nikki : oh , my god . i was gon na kill you . i - i hate you . i love you ! thank you . michael : all right . first , i need to make sure that you 've thought this through . i mean , you 've just survived a traumatic event . i - i want the reassurance that you are thinking with your head and not just acting impulsively . nikki : i hear you loud and clear . yes , my heart has been known to get me into trouble in the past . but this time , i 'm very certain about something , and that is my love for victor . and when he risked his life for me , that just confirmed it . michael : not too long ago , you were done with him . nikki : michael , i know . i 'm not naive . victor is always going to be victor , and he 's no saint . but you know , neither am i . we 've discussed it . we agree that the divorce was a mistake , and more importantly , we have found true forgiveness . michael : all right . in that case , enjoy burning these together . nikki : oh , thank you ! we will . we will . michael : [ chuckles ] nikki : oh . thank you so much . i 'll talk to you later . michael : okay . lauren : so , why do n't we do a brash & sassy ! tie - in with fenmore 's ? jill : i love that idea . lauren : thanks . billy : yes , all fantastic ideas . i really do appreciate them . will you excuse me for a second , please ? jill : oh . he does n't fool me . he just wanted to get away from us . lauren : well , at least he 's with victoria and not some , uh ... jill : some bimbo ? lauren : exactly . the more those two spend time together ... jill : you just gave me a great idea . see , all billy needs is a little nudge in the right direction , and i 'm going to use brash & sassy ! to do that . victoria : you know , i 'm really not in a mood for an argument tonight . billy : that 's wonderful . that makes two of us . so , let me buy you a drink . anything to not go back to the `` fun `` table . victoria : are you telling me that lauren and jill are not fun ? billy : they 're trying to tell me how to run my business -- your business . victoria : oh , what 's the matter , billy ? is the sweet fragrance of success harder to come by than you thought ? billy : you just said you did n't want to argue , so why are you needling me right now ? what 's going on with you ? victoria : i stopped by jabot to talk to phyllis , and i - i walked on her and jack . billy : what do you -- when you say that , what do you mean ? victoria : exactly that . i walked in on them , behind closed doors , acting like newlyweds , and you can imagine how embarrassing it was . billy : i 'd rather not , actually . victoria : well , i asked phyllis to join my family in speaking up for my father at his appeal hearing , and the woman is as vengeful and as irrational as ever . billy : come on , victoria . what do you expect her to do ? victoria : my father saved her life . phyllis does n't have to accept that , i guess , but thankfully , your brother understands the importance of forgiveness . billy : oh , yeah . of course he does . you can always count on jack to be holier- than - thou . victoria : well , at least your brother has a heart , which is a lot more than i can say for phyllis . or you . jill : hi . everything okay over here ? billy : why do n't you ask her ? jack : i was not taking sides . phyllis : well , see , it sounded that way . `` i respected their decision . `` `` let 's discuss this calmly . `` jack : sweetheart , you misunderstood . phyllis : you want me to go to the appeals board , and you want me to tell them that i am okay with what victor did . and i am not okay with it , jack . jack : i am not asking you to do anything blindly . in fact , i asked nick not to cave in to whatever it was victor wanted . at the same time , if the newman family is rallying around the patriarch because of what he did for nikki , is n't that a good thing ? phyllis : no . no . what would be good is if victor stayed in his cell and rotted . if he is looking for some sort of mercy , he needs to look somewhere else and not from the woman he abused by sticking a sick psychopath in her bed . maybe you have forgotten that , but i never will . jack : why are you doing this ? why -- why are you doing this ? we were so close just now , closer than we 've been in a long time . why are you turning this into a phyllis : is this your way of telling me i 'm overreacting or that i am not entitled to my reaction ? jack : now you 're twisting my words again . all i said was i understood where victoria was coming from , and now i 'm accused of not supporting you . phyllis : you just do n't ge -- i mean , maybe , seriously , you 're never gon na get it . jack : wait . where are you going ? phyllis : you know , i 'm going somewhere where i do n't have to explain myself or connect the dots for my husband . adam : babe , if i accept his deal , i 'll be trading one kind of prison cell for another . you understand that ? it was n't too long ago , by the way , that you were willing to move all the way to paris to avoid his trap . have you forgotten that ? chelsea : we do n't have that luxury anymore , adam . and i 've learned to recognize when it 's time to fold . adam : fold ? so , he wins just like that ? chelsea : yeah . for now , he wins . because i 'm not gon na let you spend the rest of your life in a prison cell for a crime you did n't commit . at least this way we can still keep our home and our family and our future . i mean , is n't that what matters ? adam : yeah . you and connor -- that 's all that matters . and i go back there , and i start working for him again , right ? you know what happens ? he takes control of our lives , every waking moment . and then you know what happens ? i become a man i do n't want to be . i become a man that sure as hell does n't deserve you . and worse off , i become a man that you do n't want to be around . that 's why i said no . michael : i hope this is decaf . lauren : it 's espresso . double strength . all part of my evil plan to keep you up all night . michael : [ chuckles ] tell me more of this evil plan . lauren : well , it starts like this ... kevin : whoops . bad timing . lauren : oh . kevin : you got a sec ? michael : no . um ... what do you want ? kevin : well , i have an update for you to pass on to your client . michael : which one ? kevin : adam . i ran a search to see if victor had any safety deposit boxes or security units rented out under his name , and so far i have n't found anything . michael : safety deposit boxes ? lauren : what 's up with that ? kevin : you know , a place where he could be keeping those missing pages . or do you think victor 's bluffing ? michael : wait . back it up . what pages ? what are you talking about ? lauren : and what does this have to do with adam 's case ? kevin : uh ... nothing . [ chuckles ] maybe you should talk to adam . michael : too late . talk . kevin : um , well , he went to the hospital to see victor . michael : i 'm not liking the sound of this already . kevin : who implied that there were missing pages to sage 's journal . lauren : missing pages ? kevin : stolen and replaced , pages that could replace the forgeries and clear adam of murder . so , i offered to find out where victor might be hiding them . lauren : oh , yeah , but with , you know , victor , it could be a bluff . the man does like to play mind games . michael : still , still , if there 's even a chance that these pages exist ... kevin : you want me to keep at it ? michael : absolutely . uh , sweetheart ? lauren : yeah . yeah , i 'll be keeping your espresso hot , waiting for you . kevin : sorry . lauren : it 's all right . michael : you 're the best . lauren : i am . michael : mm . wait ! [ music playing ] billy : whoa , hey , hey . what happened ? [ volume decreases ] phyllis : victor is appealing his sentence , and jack thinks i should consider it . billy : what are you talking about ? phyllis : [ sighs ] victoria thinks i should forgive victor for everything that he has done . she thinks i should rise to his defense and join the chorus of newmans in asking the review board to forgive that monster and give him back his freedom . and , of course , when i said no , she gave me the evil eye . she said , `` how -- how dare you defy me ? `` and jack -- jack thinks i 'm being unreasonable . i do n't know what to do . billy : i think you should open up your eyes and realize that it 's time to make a choice . phyllis : i came here for some advice , not an ultimatum . i told you i need some time . billy : how many times are you gon na be reminded that jack does n't understand you , that he 's never gon na understand you ? phyllis : that is not fair . he loves me . billy : yeah , i know that he loves you ... when you 're being the good wife , when you 're acting exactly how he wants you to act . i would never ask you to forgive your worst enemy . hell , it 's our mutual revenge against victor that brought us to this . phyllis : what is this ? who else is here ? billy : what are you talking about ? phyllis : the luggage . billy : it 's my mom 's . she 's at the club . phyllis : jill 's here ? jill could walk in on us at any minute , and she could tell the whole town about us . were you expecting or hoping for her to walk in so you could take the decision away from me ? billy : are you kidding me ? phyllis : you were . you were . billy : phyllis , wait . phyllis . jill : hi , there . mind if i join you ? victoria : oh , no . by all means . um , unless you 're gon na try to convince me that billy and i belong together , because that ship has sailed , you know ? jill : sweetheart , i 've done a lot of traveling , okay ? and i 've seen a lot of ships . and some of them have a habit of sailing off and circumnavigating the globe and then ending up right back where they started . victoria : not when the ship is the titanic . jill : oh , the titanic . please . victoria : look , can we please talk about something else ? please . jill : okay . victoria : how 's colin ? jill : aww , colin 's awesome . he 's infuriating , as is billy . victoria : there you go again . you 're doing it again . jill : sorry . i 'm sorry . old habits . okay . okay . have you noticed how badly brash & sassy ! is doing ? as are your other former lines . the company is not the same since you let it go . victoria : i did not let it go . my father sold it out from under me . jill : so , are you done with your father the same way you 're done with billy ? victoria : it 's really not that simple , you know , because my father is my father . i ca n't turn my back on him . jill : billy is the father of your children . and he needs you . victoria : oh , nice try . nice try , but i see what you 're doing . my family needs me more , actually , especially my father . jill : darling , you talk about the titanic . if you try to float victor again , he will sink you and your whole family at once . michael : please explain to me why i had to hear the latest news about your defense from my little brother instead of you . adam : okay , calm down . you know , i was gon na tell you about the sage journal pages . it 's just , uh -- michael : just , uh ... ? just because victor dangled a shiny bobble in front of you in exchange for you keeping your mouth shut and playing along ? adam : when the hell did i become so transparent ? chelsea : out of practice , i guess . michael : what she said . chelsea : victor offered adam a job . that 's what this whole thing was about . he wanted to frame adam to the point where he could n't say no . if he goes back to newman enterprises and paves the way for victor 's triumphant return , suddenly the pages of sage 's journal will just ... reappear and the d.a . has to drop the charges . michael : you think ? adam : and you think he 's messing with me . michael : victor newman ? adam : mm - hmm . michael : no , no . he does n't have a track record of that kind of deception , so we can just go -- oh , i 'm sorry ! victor newman . victor newman . oh , my bad . yes , he does have a history of that behavior . in fact , every time he opens his mouth , he 's actually trying to deceive someone . chelsea : okay , i understand why you 're skeptical . i do . but think about the day he was on the stand . he could have thrown adam to the wolves that day , but he did n't . he defended him , which shows me that he 's known he was innocent all along , and now he can prove it . adam : unless we beat him to it . victor : without having met you in that prison , it would have all been grim and gray and depressing . you reminded me that life is worth living . meredith : you gave the same thing to me , too . victor : i 'm glad . meredith : i - i think that you saw that i was hiding behind those same walls . i was holding a grudge against my father and refusing to feel ... victor : mm - hmm . meredith : ... for fear of being hurt . victor : mm - hmm . meredith : but you know what ? i feel good . victor : good . meredith : i feel free . victor : i 'm glad to hear that . meredith : and you know what else ? i think i might resign from that place before i even give them the chance to fire me . victor : i think that 's a hell of an idea . i mean , someone with your abilities , your medical knowledge , and your warmth -- you could find a place of work anywhere . meredith : yeah . i need to find a life far away from walworth . victor : so do i. i 'm working on my appeal . meredith : and , uh , i think you could use my help . victor : yeah , but i have no right to ask you to intercede on my behalf with your father . i have no right to do that . meredith : no , you do n't . but i will . [ door opens ] nikki : oh . am i interrupting ? meredith : oh , no . no . we 're done . i 'm just so glad to see that you 're okay . nikki : well , i have you to thank for that . meredith : no , you do n't . you can thank him . nikki : dr. gates is a very gracious woman . victor : you know , she offered to appeal to her father on my behalf . it 's very nice of her . nikki : no regrets ? victor : no . nikki : well , in that event ... what shall we do with victor : where did you get those divorce papers ? i guess from michael baldwin . nikki : maybe now you 'll be willing to forget about the part he played in sending you to prison . victor : unh - unh . i will never forget that he threw me under the bus during that trial . but obviously this speaks for him . nikki : yeah . victor : so , what do you want to do now ? want to keep these on file for next time or what ? nikki : oh , no , no . not gon na be a next time . i 'm sure we 'll squabble and have our little tiffs , but divorce is not the answer , not for us . victor : well , then , hell , i 'd rip those damn things up if i could , but i ca n't . nikki : my darling , let me do the honors . oops . victor : come here and give me a kiss . nikki : i love you so much . adam : so , yeah , my father thinks he 's painted me into a corner , right ? but if we can buy a little bit of time while kevin tracks down those missing pages -- chelsea : right . once we get these missing pages , we can expose victor , prove that he 's been framing him all along . not only will you be free of the charges , but you 'll be free of your father . i think it 's brilliant . adam : thank you . michael : wow . trying to out - victor victor . you know , this is all predicated on kevin 's success . i have to tell you -- we do n't have time . i received a phone call from judge walker 's clerk . adam : a mistrial . michael : there wo n't be one . court will reconvene next week with you on trial for murder . [ door closes ] [ music playing ] jill : [ sighs ] [ music stops ] jill : you know what , billy ? i can understand you being rude to me and blowing off dinner . 'cause , after all , i 'm only your mother . but why do you keep pushing victoria away when it 's so obvious that she cares for you ? billy : i 'm glad that it 's obvious for you , but it 's not for me or victoria , for that matter . it 's actually quite clear that she wants to move on , just like i do . jill : i 'll tell you what 's clear . that victoria is your last best hope . billy : my last hope for what , mom ? my last hope for what ? jill : for a chance of happiness in your life , honey , and the sooner you can see that , the better off you 'll be . [ music resumes ] phyllis : i 'm sorry . i should n't have stormed out of here without giving you a chance to explain yourself . jack : no , no . i 'm the one who should be apologizing here . when i said i understood the newmans wanting to be there for victor , i did n't mean that you should ignore the pain he caused you . and victoria 's decision to speak up for her father is -- is good for their family . it 's dead wrong for you . i should have said that . [ voice breaking ] and if you felt for one minute that i 'm not 100 % behind you , i really blew it . can you forgive me ?
victor tells adam that his murder charges will go away and the missing pages of sage 's journal will appear if he goes back to work at newman enterprises . victor tells adam that when he gets out of jail , they will work together to restore the company to its former glory . victor 's plan to get dr. gates to talk to her father to get him released from jail works like a charm , because she tells him that she will talk to her father who is a judge on his behalf . adam and chelsea decide to buy kevin some time to find the missing journal pages , because there is no way he is going back to work for the company . victoria asks phyllis to testify on victor 's behalf with the prison review board , which she strongly refuses to do . phyllis picks a fight with jack , because he thinks she should testify at the review board hearing . phyllis goes to billy expecting understanding she did n't get from jack , instead he tells her it 's time for her to choose either him or jack . phyllis does n't like being pressured , so she heads back to jack who asks for her forgiveness and tells her he is always on her side . jill tells billy that he should fight for victoria , because she is his last best hope at happiness . victor and nikki tear up their divorce papers and promise never to be apart again .
<s>[INST] victor : it 's a `` yes `` or `` no `` proposition . you should n't take such a long time to think about it . while i 'm in here , you run newman enterprises . when i get out of here , i resume my rightful place . and you 'll be assured of your freedom . how 's that ? if not , you take your chances in court . adam : so , all this evidence that makes me look guilty -- this -- this evidence is just gon na ... disappear ? victor : the scales of justice can always be tipped ... adam : oh , okay . i see . victor : ... one way or the other , okay ? adam : right , right , right , right . victor : so , yes or no ? it 's up to you . adam : so , all i have to do is swallow my pride , right ? along with every single vow i ever made to my wife , and then just agree to come work with you . victor : well , think about it . one day soon , these restraints will no longer hold me back . i 'll be back running my company . and you will have your freedom . do we have a deal ? kevin : it 's a dead end . chelsea : seriously ? there 's no other footage of this mystery woman ? kevin : i really thought we were on to something , but i have checked every frame from every camera on the route from the prison front door to the visiting room . chelsea : okay , well -- kevin : `` dorothy gale `` never lifts her head once and always turns her back in the visiting room . chelsea : well , there has to be some other way we i.d . her . maybe we should n't be focusing on her face . maybe we should be focusing on her motive . i mean , who would want to help victor take down adam ? kevin : someone who needs a lot of cash . i know victor pays well for this kind of project . chelsea : yeah , or maybe somebody he 's blackmailing . kevin : well , it does n't really narrow things down much . when you add up the list of people that victor has leverage on or could buy off or intimidate ... chelsea : it could be anyone . [ sighs ] nikki : working late again , huh ? victoria : oh . hey , mom . no , i 'm just covering for nick . he 's out of town , inspecting the damaged oil rig . nikki : yeah , i know . i just hung up with him . but i thought i would give you my news in person . victoria : what news ? nikki : well , your father and i have called off the divorce . victoria : are you sure ? i mean , you had a lot of good reasons for wanting to end things . nikki : yes , i did then . but everything has changed . this is definitely the right thing for both of us . victoria : [ sighs ] all right . well , if you and dad are happy , then i 'm happy . i 'm very happy . nikki : honey , that means so much to me . thank you . victoria : i love you . nikki : i just wish he were coming home , you know ? victoria : i know . i 'm so grateful that he saved you and phyllis . who knows -- maybe they 'll -- maybe they 'll shave a few months off of his sentence . nikki : oh . i ca n't believe that you said that , because i firmly believe that his actions are an excellent case for an appeal . victoria : an appeal ? as in getting his conviction overturned ? nikki : well , maybe . or possibly reducing his sentence . at -- at least then there would be some hope . but he ca n't do this on his own . we would have to get together and unite and be willing to stand up for him . jack : we should have ridden that carousel one more time . phyllis : oh , after that banana split , i think it would have been a bad idea . jack : absolutely gorgeous . phyllis : it was beautiful , was n't it ? the stars were out . it was the perfect temperature . jack : actually , i was n't talking about nature . thanks for playing hooky with me . we were running around that park like a couple of teenagers . phyllis : what do you mean `` like `` ? i 'm not a day over 17 . jack : you make me feel like a kid . you really do . phyllis : it was a wonderful night . but now it is time to get some real work done . jack : in case you had n't noticed , it 's late . there 's no one here . we 're all alone . jill : [ clears throat ] billy : geez . mom . jill : would you relax , please ? why are you so jumpy ? [ gasps ] billy , do you have company again ? billy : no . i do n't have company . i 'm by myself . what , did you fly in from chicago just to check up on me ? jill : honey , if you will recall , when i signed this house over to you , it was with the proviso that i could drop in at anytime , that i would always have a suite here . although , with recent events , maybe i should employ that loophole . billy : what loophole ? what are you talking about ? jill : oh , you do n't remember ? the one that says i can take this mansion back at any time , for any reason , and you get the lauren : your mind is on adam 's case . michael : if judge walker does n't declare a mistrial , adam can still be tried for murder . and our star witness , ian ward , has been thoroughly discredited . turns out he was a complete loon . who knew ? lauren : mm , i think we all did , honey . michael : there 's a good chance this case could go to the jury . what am i supposed to do then ? lauren : you , my love , are supposed to be grateful for our lives . when i heard about the shooting at the courthouse , i thought that you could get caught in that crossfire . i - i mean , the thought of losing you -- michael : no , no , no , no , no , no , no . i 'm not going anywhere . lauren : promise ? michael : oh , yeah . billy : you 're joking about that loophole , right ? jill : oh , dear . does this mean that you did n't read the contract we signed ? billy : obviously i should have . jill : you know what ? this is more than a house to me . all right ? this stands for something , and if you 're gon na continue to turn it into a swinging bachelor pad , i 'm gon na have to take it back . billy : come on , mom . you want to go check the master suite , go ahead . be my guest . jill : darling , i do n't have to snoop . billy : why do you say it like that ? jill : because even in chicago , i hear things . billy : oh , you hear things ? jill : yes , for example , that you have been neglecting brash & sassy ! , and i have no doubt it 's because you 're distracted by some ... entanglement . billy : okay , so just because you hear things , i 'm gon na set the truth here . i 'm not entangled in any sort of relationship . do n't worry about that . jill : what would you call it , then ? billy : i would call it a grown man that has kids of his own that does n't need his mother telling him how to live . jill : okay . point taken . point taken . now , would you mind tucking in that shirt and try to look presentable ? 'cause you 're taking mama out to dinner . frankly , i 'm getting just a little bit nauseated looking at this hideous paint color . phyllis : okay . obviously you 're not interested in me getting any work done , so let 's just go home . let 's call it a night , okay ? jack : you 're not in the mood . again . phyllis : jack ... jack : i know why . you feel guilty . phyllis : why would you say something like that ? jack : you 're still blaming yourself for what happened on my birthday when you drank a little too much and fell asleep at the cabin . and you think i 'm holding it against you . phyllis : you were excited to get away . i drank too much . i passed out . jack : no , no , no . if anyone should feel guilty , it 's me for leaving you alone there the next day . if i 'd been there when ian got there -- phyllis : jack , that 's over now . and i told you , i want to forget about the cabin and everything that happened in the cabin , okay ? just everything . jack : helping you forget is my top priority . i want to wipe every bad memory from your brain . i want you to know how much i love you , how grateful i am to have you in my life , in my arms ... [ whispers indistinctly ] phyllis : [ chuckles ] here ? now ? victoria : you want us to take back what we said at the trial ? come on , mom . it was all true . you 'd be asking us to perjure ourselves . nikki : no , no , no . it would n't be like that at all . the way dylan explained it is we would go as a group to a review board , and we would not deny any of the facts . i mean , your father did break the law , and -- and that 's that . we ca n't change that . but we explain that , at the time , we were very , very angry with him . we wanted to see him punished , and , therefore , our testimony was quite emotional and perhaps that swayed the jury more than it should have . victoria : and dylan thinks the review board will go for that ? nikki : we wo n't know if we do n't try . but the thing is this -- it has to be all of us -- me , you , your brother , abby , even adam . honey , do you think that you could join me in this ? please , say yes . victoria : i do n't know , mom . i mean , despite everything , he 's still my father , and 10 years behind bars is -- it 's an eternity . not that our testimony would sway anyone . dad would need somebody that hated him that would be willing to say that he 'd earned his freedom . nikki : okay , well , now we 're talking about phyllis . and he saved her life , too . i would hope that she would be willing to put her hurt and anger aside just to repay him for that . victoria : yeah , well , that 's the best - case scenario , mom . if we approach her with this , there 's an excellent chance she 's gon na laugh in our faces . nikki : well , i 'm really glad that you said `` we , `` because she has n't been answering my phone calls . but i was thinking if you went to her alone and -- and spoke with her as a woman who has also been hurt by victor 's machinations ... victoria : do you really think she 'll listen ? nikki : we give it a shot . adam : you know , i 've shaken hands with the devil before . victor : mm - hmm . adam : and surprise , surprise , son of a bitch always wins . victor : [ chuckles ] adam : what do you think about that ? victor : well , if you agreed to work with me , we 'd both win . adam : how 's that ? victor : you 'd go free , and you and i would both run the company . because you are as ambitious and driven , and you have the intestinal fortitude to keep this company on top . adam : i see . i feel like you 're underestimating victoria . you always have , you know ? which is a shame , because she 's the one who wants everything that you have to offer . you know , she wants to be exactly like you , dad . victor : hold on a minute . do n't tell me about victoria . i adore victoria . i love her with all my heart . and she is certainly capable of running this company . she has only one flaw . adam : enlighten me . victor : she 's emotionally involved and susceptible to that useless billy boy abbott . adam : mm . victor : you , however , are not held back by emotional feelings , are you ? you 're as hard - ass as the man you 're looking at right now . adam : you never understood me , did you ? victor : [ chuckles ] probably not . adam : probably not . you probably never will , either . you see , i have my own life , my own dreams , my own goals . i have my own family , so you went to all this trouble , you know , and you dragged me back here , and you indict me ? and it 's useless . it 's a waste of your time , so you can take your deal , dad , you know , and you can go straight to hell , all right ? nikki : michael , i see that it 's date night , and i 'm sorry . i do n't mean to intrude . michael : oh , it 's no problem . what 's up ? nikki : did you get my message about calling off the divorce ? michael : i did . the papers were already on the judge 's desk , waiting for his signature . nikki : oh , my god . what does that mean ? i - is it too late to call it off ? jill : lauren . lauren : oh , my goodness ! i 'm so happy to see you ! jill : whoa ! you look fabulous . lauren : oh , so do you . hi , honey . billy : hey . how are you ? lauren : i did n't even know you were in town . jill : i just got in . i mean , somebody 's got to keep this one from going completely rogue . lauren : uh , yeah . so , then you know about brash & sassy ! the first quarter was n't great . billy : all right . i 'm gon na go sit over here . lauren : no , no . you 're gon na come sit with your aunt . michael 's doing a little business with nikki . jill : that sounds lovely . let 's do it . lauren : and , you know , honey , it happens . it 's probably just a speed bump , a little dip in sales . billy : you know , that 's how i look at it . lauren : good . jill : i would really like your take on how billy could bump up his market share . and i 'm sure that victoria would have some ideas . i mean , the youth line was her baby . billy : okay , i 'm not going to pester victoria with this . the reason why i bought this division was to keep victor from selling it to somebody outside the family , all right ? it 's victoria that does n't want to work with me on it . jill : tell me something , sis . are all men this thick , or is it just my son ? does he not realize that victoria is crazy about him ? lauren : and i think she has a new man in her life . jill : whoa . that means billy has to fight for her . billy : wow . how did i make it through life without your advice ? jill : well , i do not know , but you have us now . lauren : it 's true . [ lauren and jill chuckle ] [ knock on door ] victoria : oh . phyllis : victoria . victoria : uh ... phyllis : oh , no , no , no . it 's okay . come on in . come on in . it 's fine . victoria : sorry . i -- phyllis : no , it 's okay . victoria : i guess i should have called first . um ... it 's about my father , and so it could n't wait . jack : what has victor done now ? victoria : he 's mounting an appeal , and in light of everything that 's happened , we 're rallying around him to help . phyllis : you want to help victor ? jack : well , the family 's there to support him . yeah , i - i respect that decision . phyllis : you do ? jack : well , it is n't like it 's been easy for the family with him in prison . they 've all suffered in their own way . phyllis : because of victor . victoria : well , he 's suffered as well , and it needs to end . phyllis : we are his victims . have you forgotten that ? if you 've come here for sympathy , i 'm sorry -- victoria : i 've come here to ask you to join my family and to speak up for him at his appeal . phyllis : are you seriously asking me this right now , victoria ? victoria : he just saved your life . jack : and i , for one , am eternally grateful . phyllis : he did what he needed to do for himself . he is no hero , and i do not think that he needs his freedom back . jack : okay . let 's all take a deep breath and calm down . phyllis : my answer 's no . hell no . victoria : i hope you reconsider . phyllis : the woman 's delusional . so much for you showing me how much you love me . you just took victor 's side without skipping a beat . victor : it 's good to see you . meredith : i 've been worried . victor : no more than i 've been worried about you . i hope your helping me to escape did n't get you into trouble . meredith : well ... [ chuckles ] i knew the risks . do n't think i 'd do it again , especially if they 're going to try me as an accessory or fire me . i do n't know . victor : if that happens , i 'll hire the best defense team money can buy . meredith : well , i appreciate that gesture . victor : i mean , who knows what ian ward would have done to nikki had i not been able to interfere . meredith : i saw how much you loved her . victor : i meant it when i said i cared for you . meredith : i know you did . but you risked it all to rescue nikki . that told me everything that i needed to know . i 've made peace with it . i 'm fine . your family means -- gosh , they just mean everything to you , even more than your own life . it 's who you are . victor : you 're a very warm - hearted person . you 're a very kind person . adam : kevin , what -- kevin : uh , we 've just been doing some research . chelsea : how did it go with victor ? do n't worry . kevin 's on our side . we can trust him . adam : well , uh , my father 's the one who framed me , that 's for sure . chelsea : he admitted that ? adam : well , not in so many words , but he did reference the fact that the original pages of sage 's journal are out there somewhere , which means the ones incriminating me are forged . kevin : [ sighs ] okay . i 'm gon na check all the obvious hiding spaces -- safety deposit boxes , storage units . chelsea : that 's a good idea . adam : thank you . kevin : yeah . okay . chelsea : thank you , kevin . okay . so , if victor can get these charges dropped , he 's obviously gon na expect something in return . so , what is it this time ? adam : well , he wants me to chelsea : let me get this straight . your father played god from inside of a prison cell all just to get you back to newman enterprises ? adam : well , it 's more than just a job to him . right ? it 's an act of love . it 's his way of making me his heir apparent . chelsea : while also making you indebted to him for the rest of your life . [ sighs ] adam : if i had n't found you , if we did n't have connor , i might be tempted , you know ? but thank god i had enough common sense to throw his offer back in his face . chelsea : wait . you did what ? adam : what do you mean i did what ? the man framed me , sweetheart . i 'm not gon na reward that kind of viciousness . chelsea : no . adam : right ? chelsea : no , not right at all . adam , come on . better an office at newman than inside of a prison cell . nikki : there has got to be some way of retrieving those papers . we do n't want this divorce . michael : it 's okay . it was n't easy , and i may have to lose a lot of rounds of chess to the judge , but , um ... here they are . nikki : oh , my god . i was gon na kill you . i - i hate you . i love you ! thank you . michael : all right . first , i need to make sure that you 've thought this through . i mean , you 've just survived a traumatic event . i - i want the reassurance that you are thinking with your head and not just acting impulsively . nikki : i hear you loud and clear . yes , my heart has been known to get me into trouble in the past . but this time , i 'm very certain about something , and that is my love for victor . and when he risked his life for me , that just confirmed it . michael : not too long ago , you were done with him . nikki : michael , i know . i 'm not naive . victor is always going to be victor , and he 's no saint . but you know , neither am i . we 've discussed it . we agree that the divorce was a mistake , and more importantly , we have found true forgiveness . michael : all right . in that case , enjoy burning these together . nikki : oh , thank you ! we will . we will . michael : [ chuckles ] nikki : oh . thank you so much . i 'll talk to you later . michael : okay . lauren : so , why do n't we do a brash & sassy ! tie - in with fenmore 's ? jill : i love that idea . lauren : thanks . billy : yes , all fantastic ideas . i really do appreciate them . will you excuse me for a second , please ? jill : oh . he does n't fool me . he just wanted to get away from us . lauren : well , at least he 's with victoria and not some , uh ... jill : some bimbo ? lauren : exactly . the more those two spend time together ... jill : you just gave me a great idea . see , all billy needs is a little nudge in the right direction , and i 'm going to use brash & sassy ! to do that . victoria : you know , i 'm really not in a mood for an argument tonight . billy : that 's wonderful . that makes two of us . so , let me buy you a drink . anything to not go back to the `` fun `` table . victoria : are you telling me that lauren and jill are not fun ? billy : they 're trying to tell me how to run my business -- your business . victoria : oh , what 's the matter , billy ? is the sweet fragrance of success harder to come by than you thought ? billy : you just said you did n't want to argue , so why are you needling me right now ? what 's going on with you ? victoria : i stopped by jabot to talk to phyllis , and i - i walked on her and jack . billy : what do you -- when you say that , what do you mean ? victoria : exactly that . i walked in on them , behind closed doors , acting like newlyweds , and you can imagine how embarrassing it was . billy : i 'd rather not , actually . victoria : well , i asked phyllis to join my family in speaking up for my father at his appeal hearing , and the woman is as vengeful and as irrational as ever . billy : come on , victoria . what do you expect her to do ? victoria : my father saved her life . phyllis does n't have to accept that , i guess , but thankfully , your brother understands the importance of forgiveness . billy : oh , yeah . of course he does . you can always count on jack to be holier- than - thou . victoria : well , at least your brother has a heart , which is a lot more than i can say for phyllis . or you . jill : hi . everything okay over here ? billy : why do n't you ask her ? jack : i was not taking sides . phyllis : well , see , it sounded that way . `` i respected their decision . `` `` let 's discuss this calmly . `` jack : sweetheart , you misunderstood . phyllis : you want me to go to the appeals board , and you want me to tell them that i am okay with what victor did . and i am not okay with it , jack . jack : i am not asking you to do anything blindly . in fact , i asked nick not to cave in to whatever it was victor wanted . at the same time , if the newman family is rallying around the patriarch because of what he did for nikki , is n't that a good thing ? phyllis : no . no . what would be good is if victor stayed in his cell and rotted . if he is looking for some sort of mercy , he needs to look somewhere else and not from the woman he abused by sticking a sick psychopath in her bed . maybe you have forgotten that , but i never will . jack : why are you doing this ? why -- why are you doing this ? we were so close just now , closer than we 've been in a long time . why are you turning this into a phyllis : is this your way of telling me i 'm overreacting or that i am not entitled to my reaction ? jack : now you 're twisting my words again . all i said was i understood where victoria was coming from , and now i 'm accused of not supporting you . phyllis : you just do n't ge -- i mean , maybe , seriously , you 're never gon na get it . jack : wait . where are you going ? phyllis : you know , i 'm going somewhere where i do n't have to explain myself or connect the dots for my husband . adam : babe , if i accept his deal , i 'll be trading one kind of prison cell for another . you understand that ? it was n't too long ago , by the way , that you were willing to move all the way to paris to avoid his trap . have you forgotten that ? chelsea : we do n't have that luxury anymore , adam . and i 've learned to recognize when it 's time to fold . adam : fold ? so , he wins just like that ? chelsea : yeah . for now , he wins . because i 'm not gon na let you spend the rest of your life in a prison cell for a crime you did n't commit . at least this way we can still keep our home and our family and our future . i mean , is n't that what matters ? adam : yeah . you and connor -- that 's all that matters . and i go back there , and i start working for him again , right ? you know what happens ? he takes control of our lives , every waking moment . and then you know what happens ? i become a man i do n't want to be . i become a man that sure as hell does n't deserve you . and worse off , i become a man that you do n't want to be around . that 's why i said no . michael : i hope this is decaf . lauren : it 's espresso . double strength . all part of my evil plan to keep you up all night . michael : [ chuckles ] tell me more of this evil plan . lauren : well , it starts like this ... kevin : whoops . bad timing . lauren : oh . kevin : you got a sec ? michael : no . um ... what do you want ? kevin : well , i have an update for you to pass on to your client . michael : which one ? kevin : adam . i ran a search to see if victor had any safety deposit boxes or security units rented out under his name , and so far i have n't found anything . michael : safety deposit boxes ? lauren : what 's up with that ? kevin : you know , a place where he could be keeping those missing pages . or do you think victor 's bluffing ? michael : wait . back it up . what pages ? what are you talking about ? lauren : and what does this have to do with adam 's case ? kevin : uh ... nothing . [ chuckles ] maybe you should talk to adam . michael : too late . talk . kevin : um , well , he went to the hospital to see victor . michael : i 'm not liking the sound of this already . kevin : who implied that there were missing pages to sage 's journal . lauren : missing pages ? kevin : stolen and replaced , pages that could replace the forgeries and clear adam of murder . so , i offered to find out where victor might be hiding them . lauren : oh , yeah , but with , you know , victor , it could be a bluff . the man does like to play mind games . michael : still , still , if there 's even a chance that these pages exist ... kevin : you want me to keep at it ? michael : absolutely . uh , sweetheart ? lauren : yeah . yeah , i 'll be keeping your espresso hot , waiting for you . kevin : sorry . lauren : it 's all right . michael : you 're the best . lauren : i am . michael : mm . wait ! [ music playing ] billy : whoa , hey , hey . what happened ? [ volume decreases ] phyllis : victor is appealing his sentence , and jack thinks i should consider it . billy : what are you talking about ? phyllis : [ sighs ] victoria thinks i should forgive victor for everything that he has done . she thinks i should rise to his defense and join the chorus of newmans in asking the review board to forgive that monster and give him back his freedom . and , of course , when i said no , she gave me the evil eye . she said , `` how -- how dare you defy me ? `` and jack -- jack thinks i 'm being unreasonable . i do n't know what to do . billy : i think you should open up your eyes and realize that it 's time to make a choice . phyllis : i came here for some advice , not an ultimatum . i told you i need some time . billy : how many times are you gon na be reminded that jack does n't understand you , that he 's never gon na understand you ? phyllis : that is not fair . he loves me . billy : yeah , i know that he loves you ... when you 're being the good wife , when you 're acting exactly how he wants you to act . i would never ask you to forgive your worst enemy . hell , it 's our mutual revenge against victor that brought us to this . phyllis : what is this ? who else is here ? billy : what are you talking about ? phyllis : the luggage . billy : it 's my mom 's . she 's at the club . phyllis : jill 's here ? jill could walk in on us at any minute , and she could tell the whole town about us . were you expecting or hoping for her to walk in so you could take the decision away from me ? billy : are you kidding me ? phyllis : you were . you were . billy : phyllis , wait . phyllis . jill : hi , there . mind if i join you ? victoria : oh , no . by all means . um , unless you 're gon na try to convince me that billy and i belong together , because that ship has sailed , you know ? jill : sweetheart , i 've done a lot of traveling , okay ? and i 've seen a lot of ships . and some of them have a habit of sailing off and circumnavigating the globe and then ending up right back where they started . victoria : not when the ship is the titanic . jill : oh , the titanic . please . victoria : look , can we please talk about something else ? please . jill : okay . victoria : how 's colin ? jill : aww , colin 's awesome . he 's infuriating , as is billy . victoria : there you go again . you 're doing it again . jill : sorry . i 'm sorry . old habits . okay . okay . have you noticed how badly brash & sassy ! is doing ? as are your other former lines . the company is not the same since you let it go . victoria : i did not let it go . my father sold it out from under me . jill : so , are you done with your father the same way you 're done with billy ? victoria : it 's really not that simple , you know , because my father is my father . i ca n't turn my back on him . jill : billy is the father of your children . and he needs you . victoria : oh , nice try . nice try , but i see what you 're doing . my family needs me more , actually , especially my father . jill : darling , you talk about the titanic . if you try to float victor again , he will sink you and your whole family at once . michael : please explain to me why i had to hear the latest news about your defense from my little brother instead of you . adam : okay , calm down . you know , i was gon na tell you about the sage journal pages . it 's just , uh -- michael : just , uh ... ? just because victor dangled a shiny bobble in front of you in exchange for you keeping your mouth shut and playing along ? adam : when the hell did i become so transparent ? chelsea : out of practice , i guess . michael : what she said . chelsea : victor offered adam a job . that 's what this whole thing was about . he wanted to frame adam to the point where he could n't say no . if he goes back to newman enterprises and paves the way for victor 's triumphant return , suddenly the pages of sage 's journal will just ... reappear and the d.a . has to drop the charges . michael : you think ? adam : and you think he 's messing with me . michael : victor newman ? adam : mm - hmm . michael : no , no . he does n't have a track record of that kind of deception , so we can just go -- oh , i 'm sorry ! victor newman . victor newman . oh , my bad . yes , he does have a history of that behavior . in fact , every time he opens his mouth , he 's actually trying to deceive someone . chelsea : okay , i understand why you 're skeptical . i do . but think about the day he was on the stand . he could have thrown adam to the wolves that day , but he did n't . he defended him , which shows me that he 's known he was innocent all along , and now he can prove it . adam : unless we beat him to it . victor : without having met you in that prison , it would have all been grim and gray and depressing . you reminded me that life is worth living . meredith : you gave the same thing to me , too . victor : i 'm glad . meredith : i - i think that you saw that i was hiding behind those same walls . i was holding a grudge against my father and refusing to feel ... victor : mm - hmm . meredith : ... for fear of being hurt . victor : mm - hmm . meredith : but you know what ? i feel good . victor : good . meredith : i feel free . victor : i 'm glad to hear that . meredith : and you know what else ? i think i might resign from that place before i even give them the chance to fire me . victor : i think that 's a hell of an idea . i mean , someone with your abilities , your medical knowledge , and your warmth -- you could find a place of work anywhere . meredith : yeah . i need to find a life far away from walworth . victor : so do i. i 'm working on my appeal . meredith : and , uh , i think you could use my help . victor : yeah , but i have no right to ask you to intercede on my behalf with your father . i have no right to do that . meredith : no , you do n't . but i will . [ door opens ] nikki : oh . am i interrupting ? meredith : oh , no . no . we 're done . i 'm just so glad to see that you 're okay . nikki : well , i have you to thank for that . meredith : no , you do n't . you can thank him . nikki : dr. gates is a very gracious woman . victor : you know , she offered to appeal to her father on my behalf . it 's very nice of her . nikki : no regrets ? victor : no . nikki : well , in that event ... what shall we do with victor : where did you get those divorce papers ? i guess from michael baldwin . nikki : maybe now you 'll be willing to forget about the part he played in sending you to prison . victor : unh - unh . i will never forget that he threw me under the bus during that trial . but obviously this speaks for him . nikki : yeah . victor : so , what do you want to do now ? want to keep these on file for next time or what ? nikki : oh , no , no . not gon na be a next time . i 'm sure we 'll squabble and have our little tiffs , but divorce is not the answer , not for us . victor : well , then , hell , i 'd rip those damn things up if i could , but i ca n't . nikki : my darling , let me do the honors . oops . victor : come here and give me a kiss . nikki : i love you so much . adam : so , yeah , my father thinks he 's painted me into a corner , right ? but if we can buy a little bit of time while kevin tracks down those missing pages -- chelsea : right . once we get these missing pages , we can expose victor , prove that he 's been framing him all along . not only will you be free of the charges , but you 'll be free of your father . i think it 's brilliant . adam : thank you . michael : wow . trying to out - victor victor . you know , this is all predicated on kevin 's success . i have to tell you -- we do n't have time . i received a phone call from judge walker 's clerk . adam : a mistrial . michael : there wo n't be one . court will reconvene next week with you on trial for murder .

britt : gabriel does n't have much time left . a few hours at the most . we 're all out of options . there 's nothing more that we can do . sabrina : [ sobs ] sabrina : there must be something we can do to help save gabriel . britt : what we can do is make your son 's passing easier . sabrina : no . britt : we can make sure that he 's comfortable and that he does n't feel any pain . sabrina : [ sniffles ] i want a second opinion . britt : of course . i will page dr. porter immediately , but you should prepare yourself for the likelihood that she 's going to tell you the same thing i have . patrick : i think we just need to know that we 've done everything we can . britt : i understand . but ... time is running out . and what 's best for gabriel and for you is that you spend these last moments together as a family ... and say goodbye . sabrina : [ exhales shakily ] molly : so , you 're just gon na lie to me ? julian : molly , it 's not a lie . molly : like hell it 's not . alexis : where are you going ? molly : to see my father . julian : well , that could have gone better . alexis : no , it really could n't have . molly : tj , i am so glad you 're here . tj : i heard the news about your dad and came right over . is it true ? molly : well , if you listen to my mother 's boyfriend , yeah . tj : but you do n't believe him ? molly : no , julian cut a deal to stay out of prison . he gave the police my father 's name and a bunch of doctored evidence . tj : is that what you know or just what you think ? molly : well , it 's my hypothesis based on the fact that julian is a liar and a total criminal who 's willing to frame anyone to save himself . i 'm going to the police station to demand to see my father . tj : okay , then i 'm going with you . molly : are you sure ? you might see your mother . tj : she 's not there . shawn just told me the cops screwed up when they arrested her and they had to cut her loose . so now she 's back on the street . looks like all the jerome crew are getting off easy . nathan : so , you 're saying that ava ca n't come to the station right now ? sonny : ava 's booked . she 's got this very important doctor 's appointment she ca n't miss . right , ava ? ava : yes . [ chuckles ] actually , it 's the truth . this appointment is crucial to my ongoing health . and i ca n't imagine that my statement will mean much considering i was hundreds of miles away at the time of the shooting . nathan : well , still , i know the commissioner 's anxious to speak with you . ava : okay , well , just please tell her that i will come down and talk to her as soon as i can . sonny : not until we clear this matter . let 's go . come on . come on . nathan : that was odd . silas : for ava , odd is any day ending in `` y. `` morgan : so you found out about ava 's latest betrayal , huh ? who told you ? dad ? carly : olivia told me . morgan : yeah . well , i know that everyone would find out eventually , and yeah , it 's true . dad and ava cheated on me and olivia . carly : i 'm sorry . i know that you are hurting right now . morgan : yeah , it sucks . not as bad as walking in on them together , but it still sucks . carly : you walked in on them ? morgan : oh , olivia did n't tell you that part ? she did n't tell you how dad and ava decided to celebrate the occasion by hooking up at a.j . 's funeral ? i mean , they could n't even wait to get a hotel . that 's how hot they were for each other , that they had to do it right in the quartermaine crypt . i mean , the body was n't even cold yet , and they were already desecrating it . like , who the hell does that ? you got to screw in the poor man 's final resting place ? [ birds chirping ] franco : that 's perfect . wow . and ... voilà . my best caricature ever . that 's for you . there you go . that 'll be $ 20 . woman : this does n't look anything like me . franco : $ 18 . woman : $ 5 . franco : fine . but -- woman : get a job . franco : you know , you should be thanking me ! i helped you a lot with those ears of yours ! i ... kiki : franco . franco : hi . kiki : [ chuckles ] what -- what is this ? what are you doing ? franco : i 'm trying to make an honest living . kiki : you 're making a living off of this ? franco : well ... kiki : that 's , uh , that 's $ 15 and a box of raisins . [ laughs ] franco : there almost was n't that . some urchin tried to rob me . sam : we 've got to talk about this . rafe : why ? it 's not like i knocked over some girl scouts or robbed a bank . it was $ 5 . sam : $ 5 that were n't yours . rafe : i gave it back ! sam : because you got caught ! look , rafe , i am no saint . i have done far worse than you have done ever in your life , and i made a bad life for myself in the process , a life that took a very long time to make right . and i do n't want to see you do the same thing , and i know your mother would n't want it , either . why did you do it ? rafe : [ sighs ] 'cause i had spent my allowance and i wanted to buy danny boy a gift . all right ? i mean , you and uncle silas have been so good to me , i just ... i wanted to give something back . sam : but ... [ sighs ] okay . rafe , you give danny back so much . you 're like a big brother to him . that 's more than any present . do you hear me ? rafe : yeah . sam : okay . then shake it off and let 's go hit the party . rafe : i 'm not in trouble ? sam : no , i did n't say that . we 'll talk about this more when your uncle gets back . but we have to go pick up the birthday boy before silas beats us there . rafe : i 'm sorry . i ... i ca n't . silas : we 're gon na have to pick this up another time , detective . nathan : dr. clay , it 's important . silas : so you keep saying , but you 've yet to explain why , so spit it out . nathan : it 's about nina . silas : i think i know what you want to say . nathan : you do ? silas : forget about it , okay ? it 's over . i do n't bear you any ill will for investigating me in nina 's murder , all right ? whatever strings madeline was pulling , you thought you were doing what was best for your sister . nathan : turns out she 's not actually my biological sister . she 's my cousin . silas : i heard . how does that feel , trading out reeves for an obrecht ? is that better , worse , or just a sidestep to another kind of hell ? regardless , you have my condolences . nathan : thanks . silas : for what it 's worth , detective , nina would n't have cared . you 're still her little brother , and you got justice for her , and the person who killed nina is behind bars . nathan : look , the thing is , there 's a chance -- silas : detective west , nina is gone . you 're still here . life goes on , all right ? this chapter of your life is over . it 's time to figure out how to fill in the next chapter . it 's taken me a long time , but i have . nathan : with miss morgan . silas : after all we 've been through , you can probably call her sam . nathan : so , you 're filling the next chapter with sam ? silas : i hope to . look , i loved your sister . but she 's at peace now . and i think it 's time for me to move forward with my life , and i can do that without betraying nina . and it would n't be a betrayal for you , either , detective , to think about moving forward , all right ? that 's what nina would have wanted for you . i guess what i 'm trying to say is , you got nothing to be sorry for . nathan : actually , there is , and i am sorry . but there 's something else i need to tell you . rafe : i - i want to be at the party for danny , but molly and tj are gon na be there , too , and i just do not want to be around them right now . sam : ah , things are still tense because you sent my mother to the metro court that night . oh , rafe , i 'm so sorry . i did n't realize you were still struggling with this . i 've been so wrapped up in -- rafe : my problem . i 'll deal with it . sam : but you do n't have to deal with it alone . i just want you to know that silas and i are here for you , okay ? rafe : i know that . sam : are you sure you do n't want to come ? i can talk to molly and tj and i 'll make sure they do n't give you a hard time just for today . rafe : please do n't , okay ? i messed up and made things awkward , okay ? it 's on me .

[ door opens ] alexis : you 're still here . molly : we were just leaving . alexis : honey , anna just called , and she said that they 've moved your dad on site . the feds are talking to him . molly : so the fbi just came and picked dad up ? alexis : basically , yes . and , uh , she said that she would call when he was available and you could meet with him . molly : okay . come on . let 's go . alexis : where you going ? molly : somewhere your boyfriend is n't . alexis : honey , i know this is asking a lot . but until anna calls , would you mind putting aside your differences with julian and coming with me to danny 's birthday party ? for his sake , it 's for sam 's , and -- and mine . molly : [ sighs ] fine . but putting it aside does not mean letting it go . carly : i am so sorry , baby . i wish that i could give you a reason for why something like this happened . morgan : it 's okay . it 's okay . i know there 's only one thing you want to say . `` i told you so . `` it 's fine . carly : that 's not true . morgan : you do n't have to pretend , mom , okay ? you did warn me , and i did n't listen to you , no matter how many times you warned me . you kept saying that ava would never love me -- she would only hurt me . but i bet you did n't think dad would be doing the hurting with her . that was a special surprise , huh ? carly : i really hate that you 're going through this , but i can promise you one thing . ava will never hurt you again . morgan : what makes you so sure of that ? franco : i did sell my kimye caricature , so i 'm pretty sure things will get better . kiki : well , they just did . draw me . franco : i do n't need your charity . kiki : you actually really do . franco : yeah , i probably do . sit . kiki : yeah . good . yay ! franco : [ chuckles ] kiki : make me look good . franco : please . you always look good . kiki : thank you . franco : could take me a little while . this is outside of my realm of expertise . i 'm more of an impressionist . kiki : okay , well , take all the time you need . i want to look good . i do n't have to be anywhere until i go to dinner with my mom tonight . franco : you think you 're having dinner with ava ? kiki : yeah . i talked to her yesterday . she was on her way back from vacation . we 're actually making a go at repairing our relationship , which ca n't obviously happen in one dinner , but it 's worth a shot . franco : yeah , i do n't think you 're gon na have that meal . kiki : why not ? franco : because ava 's a flake , you know . she sees something shiny , get distracted , and ... kiki : actually , she told me that she was turning over a new leaf . i really hope so , 'cause i miss her . never thought i would say that , but it 's true . franco : yeah , ava 's not turning over any leaves , new or otherwise . kiki : why would you say that ? franco : look , i probably should n't say this , but you 've always been so good to me , and i - i just do n't think i can lie to you . kiki : lie to me ? lie to me about what ? franco : i 'm pretty sure your mother 's dead . sonny : [ kicks table ] damn ric . always trying to ruin my life . did you know that , uh , he was working with julian ? ava : this is the first i 've heard of it . sonny : okay . ava : as far as i knew , their relationship started when ric came to town and went no further than lawyer / client . i had no idea that julian was actually answering to ric . sonny , i 'm telling you the truth . just like i was telling you the truth in puerto rico about the baby . sonny : [ sighs ] [ door opens ] sonny : looks like we 're about to find out .

nathan : this is n't something we should put off . silas : okay . ava : detective west . nathan : miss jerome . commissioner would like a word with you . ava : yes , i know . my apologies . i was out of town until today . does this have to do with my brother 's arrest ? nathan : not at all . your brother 's free . ava : well , how did that happen ? nathan : he cut a deal with the d.a . full immunity in exchange for the name of his boss . sonny : who was julian working for ? nathan : mr. jerome named ric lansing . alexis : all right , look , everyone needs to just calm down and take a step back . molly : my father has been wrongfully imprisoned and publicly maligned ! this is as calm as i get . alexis : honey , i know how hard this is for you to accept . but your father has a history of operating outside the law . molly : but he 's changed ! and you are using his past against him ! alexis : molly , they are n't just taking julian 's word for it . there is actual evidence . there are financial transa -- molly : mom , ca n't you see he 's using dad as a scapegoat ? ! how sweet a deal are you getting for giving the police my father 's name and your so - called evidence ? julian : it 's true . i was facing a lengthy prison sentence if i was convicted of the charges against me . molly : so you would throw anyone to the wolves to save yourself , even someone innocent like my dad ! alexis : look , look , look , okay ? you want to make accusations , fine . give him a chance to defend himself . and he 's gon na defend himself any minute now . julian : [ sighs ] molly , i am truly sorry . i wish i could tell you something that you wanted to hear , but it 's true . your father has been in charge from the start . he 's wanted to take sonny down from the beginning . sonny : ric 's really working with jerome ? you sure ? nathan : paper trail a mile long . as well as physical evidence linking him to the shooting at your gallery , miss jerome . ava : yes , i heard about that unfortunate incident . it 's shocking to me that something like that could happen in -- in my own gallery . and i would have come back sooner , but i was delayed . sonny : how 's lucas ? silas : he 's strong . he hung in there . he 's expected to make a full recovery . ava : oh , well , that 's great news . i should check on him myself . you know , he -- he is my nephew , after all . sonny : no , no . i do n't think -- i do n't think that 's a good idea because i really do n't think that you 're -- you 're welcome . carly : there 's no way ava got the drop on sonny . franco : well , we do n't what happened . maybe sonny killed ava and then stuck around to work on his tan . come on . ava 's dead . ding - dong . everybody rejoices . carly : no . not everybody . i got to go . hey , baby . morgan : hey . carly : hi . morgan : how 's , uh , how 's lucas ? carly : he 's resting . i 'm just so ... happy to see you . how are you ? morgan : i 'm , you know , not bad , but i have a feeling that 's about to change . why ? what 's going on ? carly : i know what happened between your father and ava . ava : all right , detective west . u said that you wanted my statement , and i would like to help in any way that i can , so shall we head to the station , then ? nathan : yeah , i guess . sonny : no . no . another time . ava has important business , and it wo n't wait . patrick : what is it ? britt : let 's sit and talk . patrick : why ? britt : let 's sit down and i 'll explain -- sabrina : no , i do n't want to sit down . i want my son . what 's going on ? britt : i 'm afraid i do n't have good news . gabriel is experiencing necrotizing enterocolitis , and as a result , his organs are shutting down . sabrina : [ scoffs ] he was fi -- he was fine . he 's fine . britt : it can develop very quickly in preemies . sabrina : look , he 's been gaining weight slowly , but he 's been gaining . britt : i 'm sorry . things like this happen . the infection that he was fighting spread to his intestines , and he 's no longer absorbing nutrients . sabrina : antibiotics , britt ! come on ! britt : are not enough . sabrina : well , what about , like , an operation ? ca n't they repair the damage ? britt : sabrina , he would n't survive the operation . the infection is causing massive organ failure . i am so , so sorry . sabrina : [ scoffs ] patrick : [ tearfully ] how long ? britt : gabriel does n't have much time left . a few hours at the most . we 're all out of options . there 's nothing more that we can do . sabrina : [ sobs ] sabrina : there must be something we can do to help save gabriel . britt : what we can do is make your son 's passing easier . sabrina : no . britt : we can make sure that he 's comfortable and that he does n't feel any pain . sabrina : [ sniffles ] i want a second opinion . britt : of course . i will page dr. porter immediately , but you should prepare yourself for the likelihood that she 's going to tell you the same thing i have . patrick : i think we just need to know that we 've done everything we can . britt : i understand . but ... time is running out . and what 's best for gabriel and for you is that you spend these last moments together as a family ... and say goodbye . sabrina : [ exhales shakily ] molly : so , you 're just gon na lie to me ? julian : molly , it 's not a lie . molly : like hell it 's not . alexis : where are you going ? molly : to see my father . julian : well , that could have gone better . alexis : no , it really could n't have . molly : tj , i am so glad you 're here . tj : i heard the news about your dad and came right over . is it true ? molly : well , if you listen to my mother 's boyfriend , yeah . tj : but you do n't believe him ? molly : no , julian cut a deal to stay out of prison . he gave the police my father 's name and a bunch of doctored evidence . tj : is that what you know or just what you think ? molly : well , it 's my hypothesis based on the fact that julian is a liar and a total criminal who 's willing to frame anyone to save himself . i 'm going to the police station to demand to see my father . tj : okay , then i 'm going with you . molly : are you sure ? you might see your mother . tj : she 's not there . shawn just told me the cops screwed up when they arrested her and they had to cut her loose . so now she 's back on the street . looks like all the jerome crew are getting off easy . nathan : so , you 're saying that ava ca n't come to the station right now ? sonny : ava 's booked . she 's got this very important doctor 's appointment she ca n't miss . right , ava ? ava : yes . [ chuckles ] actually , it 's the truth . this appointment is crucial to my ongoing health . and i ca n't imagine that my statement will mean much considering i was hundreds of miles away at the time of the shooting . nathan : well , still , i know the commissioner 's anxious to speak with you . ava : okay , well , just please tell her that i will come down and talk to her as soon as i can . sonny : not until we clear this matter . let 's go . come on . come on . nathan : that was odd . silas : for ava , odd is any day ending in `` y. `` morgan : so you found out about ava 's latest betrayal , huh ? who told you ? dad ? carly : olivia told me . morgan : yeah . well , i know that everyone would find out eventually , and yeah , it 's true . dad and ava cheated on me and olivia . carly : i 'm sorry . i know that you are hurting right now . morgan : yeah , it sucks . not as bad as walking in on them together , but it still sucks . carly : you walked in on them ? morgan : oh , olivia did n't tell you that part ? she did n't tell you how dad and ava decided to celebrate the occasion by hooking up at a.j . 's funeral ? i mean , they could n't even wait to get a hotel . that 's how hot they were for each other , that they had to do it right in the quartermaine crypt . i mean , the body was n't even cold yet , and they were already desecrating it . like , who the hell does that ? you got to screw in the poor man 's final resting place ? [ birds chirping ] franco : that 's perfect . wow . and ... voilà . my best caricature ever . that 's for you . there you go . that 'll be $ 20 . woman : this does n't look anything like me . franco : $ 18 . woman : $ 5 . franco : fine . but -- woman : get a job . franco : you know , you should be thanking me ! i helped you a lot with those ears of yours ! i ... kiki : franco . franco : hi . kiki : [ chuckles ] what -- what is this ? what are you doing ? franco : i 'm trying to make an honest living . kiki : you 're making a living off of this ? franco : well ... kiki : that 's , uh , that 's $ 15 and a box of raisins . [ laughs ] franco : there almost was n't that . some urchin tried to rob me . sam : we 've got to talk about this . rafe : why ? it 's not like i knocked over some girl scouts or robbed a bank . it was $ 5 . sam : $ 5 that were n't yours . rafe : i gave it back ! sam : because you got caught ! look , rafe , i am no saint . i have done far worse than you have done ever in your life , and i made a bad life for myself in the process , a life that took a very long time to make right . and i do n't want to see you do the same thing , and i know your mother would n't want it , either . why did you do it ? rafe : [ sighs ] 'cause i had spent my allowance and i wanted to buy danny boy a gift . all right ? i mean , you and uncle silas have been so good to me , i just ... i wanted to give something back . sam : but ... [ sighs ] okay . rafe , you give danny back so much . you 're like a big brother to him . that 's more than any present . do you hear me ? rafe : yeah . sam : okay . then shake it off and let 's go hit the party . rafe : i 'm not in trouble ? sam : no , i did n't say that . we 'll talk about this more when your uncle gets back . but we have to go pick up the birthday boy before silas beats us there . rafe : i 'm sorry . i ... i ca n't . silas : we 're gon na have to pick this up another time , detective . nathan : dr. clay , it 's important . silas : so you keep saying , but you 've yet to explain why , so spit it out . nathan : it 's about nina . silas : i think i know what you want to say . nathan : you do ? silas : forget about it , okay ? it 's over . i do n't bear you any ill will for investigating me in nina 's murder , all right ? whatever strings madeline was pulling , you thought you were doing what was best for your sister . nathan : turns out she 's not actually my biological sister . she 's my cousin . silas : i heard . how does that feel , trading out reeves for an obrecht ? is that better , worse , or just a sidestep to another kind of hell ? regardless , you have my condolences . nathan : thanks . silas : for what it 's worth , detective , nina would n't have cared . you 're still her little brother , and you got justice for her , and the person who killed nina is behind bars . nathan : look , the thing is , there 's a chance -- silas : detective west , nina is gone . you 're still here . life goes on , all right ? this chapter of your life is over . it 's time to figure out how to fill in the next chapter . it 's taken me a long time , but i have . nathan : with miss morgan . silas : after all we 've been through , you can probably call her sam . nathan : so , you 're filling the next chapter with sam ? silas : i hope to . look , i loved your sister . but she 's at peace now . and i think it 's time for me to move forward with my life , and i can do that without betraying nina . and it would n't be a betrayal for you , either , detective , to think about moving forward , all right ? that 's what nina would have wanted for you . i guess what i 'm trying to say is , you got nothing to be sorry for . nathan : actually , there is , and i am sorry . but there 's something else i need to tell you . rafe : i - i want to be at the party for danny , but molly and tj are gon na be there , too , and i just do not want to be around them right now . sam : ah , things are still tense because you sent my mother to the metro court that night . oh , rafe , i 'm so sorry . i did n't realize you were still struggling with this . i 've been so wrapped up in -- rafe : my problem . i 'll deal with it . sam : but you do n't have to deal with it alone . i just want you to know that silas and i are here for you , okay ? rafe : i know that . sam : are you sure you do n't want to come ? i can talk to molly and tj and i 'll make sure they do n't give you a hard time just for today . rafe : please do n't , okay ? i messed up and made things awkward , okay ? it 's on me . [ cell phone rings ] sam : oh . it 's monica . she has danny . i have to take this . hold on . monica ! hi . yeah , i know , i 'm -- i 'm running late . i 'm so sorry . okay . i 'll be there in a little bit . molly : do you know where your mother is now ? tj : no . but i bet shawn could find her . molly : why would you want him to ? i thought you did n't want to have anything to do with her since you found out the truth . tj : right . the truth that she was selling drugs for julian . molly , if you think your dad was framed , maybe my mom knows who julian really works for . i might be able to guilt her into talking . molly : no , tj , i ca n't ask you to do that . tj : i volunteered . i want to help . molly : and i love you for that . but i want to talk to my dad first . [ door opens ] alexis : you 're still here . molly : we were just leaving . alexis : honey , anna just called , and she said that they 've moved your dad on site . the feds are talking to him . molly : so the fbi just came and picked dad up ? alexis : basically , yes . and , uh , she said that she would call when he was available and you could meet with him . molly : okay . come on . let 's go . alexis : where you going ? molly : somewhere your boyfriend is n't . alexis : honey , i know this is asking a lot . but until anna calls , would you mind putting aside your differences with julian and coming with me to danny 's birthday party ? for his sake , it 's for sam 's , and -- and mine . molly : [ sighs ] fine . but putting it aside does not mean letting it go . carly : i am so sorry , baby . i wish that i could give you a reason for why something like this happened . morgan : it 's okay . it 's okay . i know there 's only one thing you want to say . `` i told you so . `` it 's fine . carly : that 's not true . morgan : you do n't have to pretend , mom , okay ? you did warn me , and i did n't listen to you , no matter how many times you warned me . you kept saying that ava would never love me -- she would only hurt me . but i bet you did n't think dad would be doing the hurting with her . that was a special surprise , huh ? carly : i really hate that you 're going through this , but i can promise you one thing . ava will never hurt you again . morgan : what makes you so sure of that ? franco : i did sell my kimye caricature , so i 'm pretty sure things will get better . kiki : well , they just did . draw me . franco : i do n't need your charity . kiki : you actually really do . franco : yeah , i probably do . sit . kiki : yeah . good . yay ! franco : [ chuckles ] kiki : make me look good . franco : please . you always look good . kiki : thank you . franco : could take me a little while . this is outside of my realm of expertise . i 'm more of an impressionist . kiki : okay , well , take all the time you need . i want to look good . i do n't have to be anywhere until i go to dinner with my mom tonight . franco : you think you 're having dinner with ava ? kiki : yeah . i talked to her yesterday . she was on her way back from vacation . we 're actually making a go at repairing our relationship , which ca n't obviously happen in one dinner , but it 's worth a shot . franco : yeah , i do n't think you 're gon na have that meal . kiki : why not ? franco : because ava 's a flake , you know . she sees something shiny , get distracted , and ... kiki : actually , she told me that she was turning over a new leaf . i really hope so , 'cause i miss her . never thought i would say that , but it 's true . franco : yeah , ava 's not turning over any leaves , new or otherwise . kiki : why would you say that ? franco : look , i probably should n't say this , but you 've always been so good to me , and i - i just do n't think i can lie to you . kiki : lie to me ? lie to me about what ? franco : i 'm pretty sure your mother 's dead . sonny : [ kicks table ] damn ric . always trying to ruin my life . did you know that , uh , he was working with julian ? ava : this is the first i 've heard of it . sonny : okay . ava : as far as i knew , their relationship started when ric came to town and went no further than lawyer / client . i had no idea that julian was actually answering to ric . sonny , i 'm telling you the truth . just like i was telling you the truth in puerto rico about the baby . sonny : [ sighs ] [ door opens ] sonny : looks like we 're about to find out . [ monitor beeping , oxygen hissing ] patrick : is there anything else you want to ask dr. porter ? anybody else you want to talk to ? sabrina : they 're just gon na tell me the same thing . they ca n't help my son . i need to give up on him . how am i supposed to do that ? he 's alive . his -- his heart is beating . there 's -- there 's air in his lungs . patrick : he 's struggling , sabrina . the machines are keeping him alive . and soon , that 's not gon na be enough . but we -- i do n't ... i do n't want to lose him , but we have to let him go . we ca n't save him . sabrina : [ exhales sharply ] sabrina : [ voice breaking ] i do n't think i can do it . i 'm not strong enough . [ sniffles ] patrick : neither am i . we 're about to do it together , okay ? it 's the only way we 're gon na get through this is if we do it together . sabrina : [ sighs ] patrick : we were there in the beginning , and we 're gon na be there in the end , letting him know that he is loved and that he is safe and that he 's always gon na be in our hearts . okay ? we 'll do it together . please ? [ monitor beeping , oxygen hissing ] silas : i do n't know what else there is to say about nina , but i 'm listening . nathan : i do n't know what to do . how can i tell silas that his wife is still alive when i have no way of knowing if that 's true ? nathan : look , the thing i need to tell you is , i 'm ... i 'm trying to track down my sister 's remains . you talked about nina being at rest , but as far as i 'm concerned , that 's not gon na be true until i find out exactly what happened to her after madeline moved her out of that facility to where -- wherever she is now . silas : ca n't madeline fill in some of the blanks ? nathan : she 's been less than cooperative . silas : of course she has . listen , that 's important to me , too . if there 's anything i can do to help , you do n't hesitate to ask . nathan : thank you . silas : detective , if you find out where nina is , please let me know . nathan : i will . silas : thanks for taking care of your sister . nathan : have fun at the party . sam : hey , so i have to pick danny up and head to the park for his party . are you absolutely sure you do n't want to come ? there 's gon na be ice - cream cake there . rafe : i 'm sure . sam : are you sure ? i mean , you and molly and tj , you could put your differences aside just for today , just for danny 's party . rafe : i 'm sure . sam : okay , well , if you change your mind and you want to come , just call a cab and put it on my credit card and -- and , uh , i 'll take care of it , okay ? rafe : that wo n't be necessary , but thank you . sam : keep your chin up , kiddo . rafe : tell danny boy i said happy birthday . sam : or you can come to the park and tell him yourself . rafe : go . sam : [ laughs ] okay . [ door closes ] kiki : franco , you think my mom is dead ? franco : yeah , i 'm sorry to have to tell you like this , but it 's better than you sitting at a - a restaurant waiting all night . kiki : i just talked to her yesterday . franco : yeah , so it would seem , but , you know , a lot can change in a night . kiki : is this some sort of weird performance art piece , because my mom 's not dead , franco . franco : i can see why this might be difficult for you , but you 're not alone in this world , kiki . kiki : why would you say something like that to me ? franco : it 's just a hunch . kiki : that 's not good enough . you need to explain yourself right now . why do you think my mom is dead ? what happened to her ? franco : okay . [ clears throat ] i have reason to believe that ava was killed . kiki : killed ? franco : murdered . kiki : murdered ? ! by who ? ! britt : i 'll have this into the lab right away . ava : thank you . sonny : how long before the results come back ? britt : uh , it 's a simple test , so , i mean , there 's no backlog in the lab . you should have your answer rather quickly . ava : we 'll wait . sonny : i just want the tests to be accurate because they -- they can be a little , you know , unreliable when , uh , you 're involved . britt : well , i assure you , mr. corinthos , the results will be accurate . i mean , you can watch me hand this off to the lab tech if you wish . dr. chu can be the one to tell you the results . sonny : that 'll be good . ava : hey , doctor , please tell us , how accurate is the blood test for pregnancy ? britt : oh , there will be no question . you 'll know for sure whether or not you 're having a ...

john : not coming to you , doc , not about ej . eric : mom , she did n't even want to say anything to me . she said she would 've gone to grandma if things would have been better . marlena : why 'd the letter send her to switzerland ? eric : well , apparently , ej , he had ammunition to get even with his father , in a safe deposit box in zurich , so she went there . marlena : why did n't you stop her ? eric : we 're talking about sami . sami , you just do n't stop her when she 's made up her mind . i assume that she 's got evidence that proves that stefano killed her husband , and now she 's just trying to make him pay . john : and you 'd have been right there with her , doc . eric : that 's true . mom , you 've been trying to get revenge on stefano for decades . chad : abby , tell them . you know me , you know i could n't kill anyone , let alone will . abby . daniel : you know what , you should n't be in here . chad : abby , tell them , abby ! justin : do n't put that poor girl in the middle of this . you tried to kill her fiancé ! chad : that 's a load of -- rafe : it 's best if you stop talking now , chad . justin : chad , you 're fooling no one , and now you 're being charged with three counts of murder in the first degree . do you understand that ?

rafe : hard to say . hope : you buy the amnesia story ? rafe : daniel said it could happen . i do n't know , this whole thing , it just does n't smell right . hope : you still do n't think he 's the killer ? rafe : i do n't know , what do you think ? you saw him , you think he 's lying ? hope : honestly , i do n't know . but he 's a dimera . although abigail just pointed out that it 's terribly unfair to assume he 's lying just because of his last name , and you know what ?

chad 's going for the whole amnesia defense . fair warning , it 's not gon na work . nothing is going to save him . aiden : hmm . we 'll see . is arraignment set ? justin : as soon as i get him into court . aiden : excuse me , officer , i need to speak with my client . you can use the interrogation room . aiden : great . justin : do you need to recuse ?

[ sighs ] what you gon na do ? you gon na have your own father thrown out ? christine : mmm . mmm ! [ sighs softly ] paul : aha ! [ chuckles ] christine : i thought you were gon na be gone for a while . paul : yeah . so , that 's why you were sneaking in to my office , huh ? christine : maybe . paul : i thought you were going to limit your intake of chocolate . christine : i would like to have 20 of these , but i am only going to have one , so i am limiting myself . paul : you know , it was my impression that , uh , pregnant women like salty things , like peanuts and chips and pickles . christine : some women may like pickles , but if you would offer me a pickle , i 'd want it dipped in chocolate . paul : [ chuckles ] so , does that mean that our little baby 's gon na come out really sweet ? [ both chuckle ] nikki : hey , pa -- i am so sorry for interrupting . i 'll wait outside . paul : no , no , no . it 's fine . come on in . nikki : okay . paul : [ chuckles ] what 's going on ? nikki : well , i wanted to talk to both of you , actually , about a legal matter . paul : something that concerns the d.a . 's office ? nikki : it 's about the charges that have been filed against phyllis . we all know there 's not a lot of love lost between me and my ex - daughter - in - law . christine : so , you 're here to help us with the prosecution case ? nikki : actually , despite my past issues with her , i have come to believe -- well , no , i 'm certain -- that she 's innocent . christine : the evidence shows something else . paul : no , no , no . wait a minute . we ought to hear nikki out . she could provide us with some insight . noah : any news ? kevin : not yet . abby : news about what ? noah : that bloody towel we found in kyle 's trunk . kevin : i had a friend at the station test the blood . abby : why would you do that ? you do n't trust kyle ? kevin : the guy was driving around with a bloody towel in his trunk . mariah : what did your blood - tester friend find out ? abby : kyle is my cousin . do you really think he could be an accomplice to murder ? noah : i do n't know , abby . it seems like kyle 's hiding something . summer : how did you do it when your mom died ? kyle : i try ... to think about all the good times i had with her . summer : yeah . that 's really hard to do when i just ca n't get past seeing him dead . kyle : yeah , i know . well , what about pictures ? i mean , you need some for the memorial service , right ? summer : yeah , i guess so . kyle : well , you must have some photos of austin on your phone . summer : yeah , a few , but i transferred most of them . they 're actually on austin 's computer . i do n't think i can do this . kyle : hey , no . sure , you can . how tough is it finding good - looking pictures of a guy you once loved ? hmm ? summer : i guess he is pretty cute . here 's his `` summer and me `` file . austin : hey , my beautiful wife . where are you ? our future depends on this . paul : no , i think what nikki was saying -- christine : i think nikki should speak for herself . paul : oh . okay . uh , go ahead . you -- you did n't think phyllis poisoned kelly andrews ? nikki : no . phyllis seems to have changed . christine : nobody changes that much . and why are you and half this town suddenly defending her ? is she blackmailing you ? nikki : no , although i do n't blame you for jumping to that conclusion , given her past behavior . christine : you know , if that 's all you came to talk about , then -- paul : no . you say she changed . changed in what way ? nikki : she was with me during the underground collapse . christine : and she seized the opportunity to proclaim her innocence ? nikki : oh , no . she would n't have dared do that . i 'd had enough of her by that evening . my husband had moved her in to our home , against my wishes , and when i think of the horrible things that she did to my son before , after , and during their marriage -- christine : and yet you 're here . nikki : well , yes . i would hate to see you rush to trial when -- christine : so , do you think you know better than the d.a . and the chief of police ? paul : no . i do n't think that 's what she 's saying at all . nikki : i have seen something that you have n't . we all know how fierce she can get when she 's cornered . christine : yes . i know that . nikki : well , we were facing death . we had concrete and wreckage all around us , just waiting to bury us . i was certain that she would scratch and fight her way over me to get out , but she did n't . i mean , she put her life on the line and insisted that i be rescued first . christine : so she was looking for an angle . she felt she had nothing else to lose . nikki : what angle ? i mean , another minute or two and she could have been caught in the second collapse -- the one that almost killed jack and victor . christine : even if she had a burst of altruism in her self - serving life , what does that have to do with her poisoning kelly ? nikki : you have to believe me . she is a different person . christine : yes . right . she is a different person . when phyllis is jealous , she is more lethal and dangerous than ever . she would stop at nothing , up to and including attempted murder . nikki : no . not anymore . i really believe that you need to drop those charges . lily : look , let 's go to my office , okay ? we can talk . neil : talk ? [ clears throat ] is that another word for `` lecture `` ? 'cause if it is , i 'm not going . no , i 'm cool . i 'm good right here . lily : do n't do this again . you remember what happened last time . neil : come on . i remember exactly what happened last time . lily : okay . then if you know that , why would you want to drink again ? neil : that 's a good question , and i got a good answer for you -- because sobriety has brought me nothing but pain and betrayal , much more than i ever thought it would . no . forget sobriety . lily : dad , think about moses . neil : mnh - mnh . do n't you dare play that card with me . moses is good . his mama is taking good care of him . lily : you are so selfish . he needs more than a good mom . he needs a father who is healthy and sober . do n't do this to him . neil : you listen to me , okay ? because that boy will survive . lily : oh , like i did ? you want to do this to me again ? really ? neil : it 's not about you . i do n't want to hurt you . lily : oh , really ? okay . then you 're trying to hurt devon like this ? neil : how are you and cane doing ? lily : we tried to talk again last night . neil : you tried ? lily : well , it just kept ending in a fight , so he slept in the guest room . neil : well ! and you think that 's good for you or the kids ? lily : i 'm sorry . i 'm not the one who 's self - destructing . you are . neil : [ chuckles ] oh , lily . and now the bargaining begins , does it ? ! what 's it gon na be ? is it gon na be dad who has to give up drinking or for lily to forgive her husband ? that 's what it is . lily : will that work ? neil : no . hell , no , that 's not gon na work , 'cause i do n't care about cane . i love you , but cane -- the hell with him . you can dump that guy . devon : dad . stop taking this out on lily . neil : well ! look what the cat dragged in -- the billionaire , the arbiter of how to treat your family right ... the man i used to call `` my son , `` the man who did everything to drive me to this point except ... pour the bourbon into this glass . summer : i remember the day austin shot this . summer : i thought you had the camera set already . austin : [ chuckles ] the angle was n't right . i want this shot to be all about you . summer : all right , mr. director . what do you want me to say ? austin : nothing . it 's a reaction shot . there 's one look that i want the whole world to see . summer : what look ? austin : it 's the look that my beautiful wife gets when i say , `` i love you , summer , forever . `` summer : is that what your whole film is -- just me sitting here ? austin : [ chuckles ] no . mmm . summer : [ laughs ] [ doorbell rings ] summer : is this gon na be your whole film ? austin : it is . it is . i 'm just tickling you . just tickling you . summer : [ laughing ] stop it ! austin : [ growls playfully ] summer : [ laughs ] you 're bigger than me ! kyle : summer ... look who it is . abby : hey . summer : thanks for coming . noah : thought you needed some moral support . mariah : i thought fen was supposed to be here . summer : yeah . he stopped by earlier . abby : oh . why 'd he leave ? kevin : you know he 's in college , right ? summer : he had to get back to school . kyle : summer found this video of her and austin . mariah : you guys look ... really happy . summer : he 's just ... goofing off with the camera . i mean ... just dreaming of getting a big - time directing job -- that 's all he talked about , was our future together . austin : you 're not even ticklish . summer : it 's not fair ! [ laughs ] austin : hey ... you know , the camera loves you , but i love you more . abby : you know what , summer ? i think that 's enough emotional reflux for one day . summer : no , no , no , please . i - i need to watch this . i want to see my husband again , please . austin : [ sighs ] hi , summer . it 's valentine 's day , 2015 . summer : [ gasps ] kyle : what is it ? summer : i 've never seen this one before . noah : hey , you know , you do n't have to do this right now , okay ? summer : no , i do ! i have to watch this ! my husband made this for me the day that he died ! for this noah : ready ? austin : you are probably expecting roses and candy -- for this to be some kind of love sonnet . and you deserve all that . but , um , i 'm feeling like , summer , what -- what i really need to give you in an apology . summer : an apology for what ? austin : you 've been telling me that i have n't been acting like myself lately , and the truth is ... i really do n't like myself much lately . there 's a reason for that and something you need to know . summer : hey ! okay , okay . now , before you start yelling about how much money i just spent , i got a really good sale on those t - shirts that you like . austin : mm . summer : yeah . um , did you start packing for the cabin yet ? no ? okay . well , it 's gon na be a lot of fun . i 'm really excited . summer : i could tell that something was off that night at the cabin , but seeing this ? i had no idea he was so depressed . noah : he sounded more than depressed . kevin : yeah . what was all that about an apology ? noah : why did he feel like he needed to tape it rather than say he 's sorry face - to - face ? summer : i do n't know . noah : was he scared to tell you something in person ? summer : scared of -- of me ? no . no , no , no . there 's nothing that austin could say or do that would make me that mad or upset . abby : you know what ? i hate to rush off , but there is something that i need to handle . i forgot about it . i 'll see you later . noah : what do you want to do ? summer : i want to watch this again and try to figure it out . kevin : what 's going on ? what was that look between you and abby ? christine : nikki , we appreciate you being so civic - minded , coming to us with this , but since you 're not an officer of the court and you have no idea the evidence that 's stacked against phyllis , you 're hardly qualified to have any say in her fate . paul : you know , maybe we should n't dismiss what nikki says so quickly . christine : she just stated an opinion . paul : yes , but she gave us a glimpse into phyllis ' state of mind , and since she and phyllis are not friends , she has absolutely nothing to gain . christine : unlike me ? that 's what you 're saying , is n't it -- that i ca n't see this objectively ? nikki : okay . thank you both for hearing me out . i 'm gon na let you get back to work . christine : how could you do that to me ? ! devon : do you mind if we take this somewhere private , dad ? neil : oh . you want some privacy ? devon : yes . neil : like you had with my wife ? i do n't even want to share the same air with you . lily : okay , take your anger out on who 's to blame , and that 's hilary . neil : hilary ? what , did she throw some voodoo on him ? did she hypnotize him ? did she throw him into bed and try to seduce him like she tried to do with cane ? ha ha ! mmm . mmm ! let 's talk about that for a minute . lily : no , let 's not . neil : if cane were to have an affair with hilary -- right ? -- would you just blame hilary for that ? no ! you would n't ! you ca n't even forgive your husband , and what he did was nowhere near as contemptible as what you did ! no . lily : i 'm not trying to compare the two . neil : that 's exactly what i 'm saying . there is no comparison to what this ingrate did , to his betrayal . nothing can top what you did . i think it 's time for another drink . lily : you know what ? i 'm not gon na stand here and watch you drink yourself into oblivion . have fun . neil : goodbye . devon : i 'm sure me saying how sorry i am -- neil : `` sorry `` do n't mean jack . devon : then at least let me try . neil : do n't even try , because nothing that you say means anything to me . because you -- you do n't mean anything to me . read my lips . you are not ... my son . devon : i know that that 's the alcohol talking ... because there 's no way , after all the years that you spent dedicating your life to making me feel love that i can mean nothing to you . i know that you 're hurt , and i know what i did to you . but you are my dad . neil : tucker mccall is your dad . devon : there 's a very big difference between `` biological father `` and `` dad . `` neil : you lie like him . you cheat like him . you got no moral fiber , just like him . if you want to call somebody `` dad , `` why do n't you go find tucker ? you two actually deserve each other . devon : i am truly , truly sorry . neil : are you ? devon : yes , i am . neil : did you tell hilary that you love her ? devon : why are you asking me that ? neil : because i need to know . did you ? devon : yes , i did . neil : mm . and were you lying when you said it ? devon : no . neil : mm . were you planning on spending the rest of your life with her ? devon : yes . neil : and were you lying when you proposed to her -- gave her that ring ? devon : no . neil : and when you said all that ... did you know ... that she was married to me ? devon : yes , i did know she was married to you . neil : yeah . damn right , you did . you were my best man , were n't you ? you stood right next to me in that park while i exchanged my vows with hilary . that was you , was n't it ? devon : yes , it was me . and i ca n't tell you how sorry i am . neil : when exactly was it that you started feeling sorry ? was it the first time that you kissed her ? was it the first time that you undressed her , touched her skin , made love to her ? or was it when you were planning to run away with her ? or -- wait ! or when she ... ran away from you ? devon : you know the answer to this question . neil : i sure do . devon : i know you do , because you lived this when you did the same thing to your brother . neil : [ groans ] devon : and just like you , i 'm gon na find a way , somehow , no matter what it takes , to make this right with you over time . neil : your time -- your time is up , man . you can take all your `` sorrys `` and all your regrets and stick 'em where the sun does n't shine . devon : i 'm not gon na give up on you and turn my back on my father . neil : i 'm not your dad . devon : yes , you are my dad . neil : you 're being stupid . how many times do i have to tell you ? devon : why do n't you tell me what i can do to make this right ? neil : [ chortles ] there 's nothing . there is absolutely nothing you can do to make this right . but you -- you can make it a little better . devon : how ? neil : take a drink . devon : no . neil : take a little sip . now do me a favor . go to a liquor store . buy a crazy- expensive bottle of scotch . go to a five - star hotel . get a room there with your billions . crack the bottle and smell it . pour a glass . take a long drink ... and keep drinking until that bottle is all gone . then grab another bottle and become a drunk ... just like your old man . and my gift to you can become your gift ... to me . kyle : i 've got to head off , too , summer . summer : okay . well , you 're gon na be at the memorial , right ? kyle : yeah , i promise . summer : okay . kyle : okay . summer : thank you . kyle : yeah . okay . noah : [ groans softly ] got any coffee , bud ? summer : i 'm just trying to take my mind off of things . noah : that 's the plan . you guys want some coffee ? kevin : no , thanks . we 're good . mariah : would you stop answering for me ? coffee sounds really great right now . kevin : not until you tell me what 's going on with you and abby . or maybe i should ask summer . does she know ? mariah : no . fine . all right . look , i do n't think austin was depressed in that video . i think he was guilty . kevin : about what ? austin : hey . hey . look into the lens . abby : hi ! austin : [ laughs ] abby : coffee ! austin : yeah . what kind of coffee is it ? abby : um , it is black . austin : it 's black ? abby : i 'm hard - core . austin : yeah . you are . abby : [ laughs ] austin : try on the sunglasses . mariah : about that . abby : okay . summer : that 's weird . wh - why would austin 's laptop have a video of my aunt abby ? noah : i know why . [ laughter ] abby : mm . no , this ca n't happen . austin : it should n't . abby : you 're not this kind of guy . austin : i 'm not . look , we should stop before it goes any further . abby : right . yeah . we -- we should n't do this . austin : turns out i am that kind of guy . abby : i ca n't believe we did that . summer is my niece . i love her . austin : i - i know . look , it 's my fault . i 'm the one who 's married . summer has done nothing but love me . abby : this ca n't happen again . austin : it wo n't . it 's just a one - time thing . noah : the reason why , uh , austin had this footage of abby was 'cause he was working on that documentary -- you know , the one about the corporate titans and how they got to the top . you remember , summer ? summer : no . noah : no ? summer : yeah , i do n't -- i do n't remember him actually working on -- [ sighs ] abby 's not some mogul . why would austin want to interview her about this ? noah : i think he probably just wanted to ask her about grandpa and jack . it 's just leftover test footage or something . summer : i 'm such an awful wife , you guys . noah : no . no . hey . austin did not think that . look , most of these videos are all about how much he loved you . summer : yeah , but i did n't even know what he was working on . how could i just forget something like that ? i mean , what kind of wife just -- just does n't even remember her husband 's work and his passion ? noah : shh . it 's okay . it 's okay . kevin : [ clears throat ] austin : i ca n't take it anymore . i 'm so over this marriage . i just want out . abby : no , you do n't . austin : yeah , i do , and i thought you 'd have a more positive response . abby : no . you 're not ending things with summer . i 'm ending things with you . austin : look , summer and me -- that 's not your call , but you and me -- abby : it 's over . what i did was selfish and awful , and this is never happening again . austin : look , i ca n't just go back to summer . she does n't get me the way that you do . maybe it 's 'cause she 's young and inexperienced , but -- abby : or maybe that 's just a lame excuse because you 're scared . austin : scared of what ? abby : because you love her . you 've never felt good enough for her , so you 're gon na smash things up before she finds someone better . austin : she 's beautiful . she 's got money . abby : yeah , and maybe you 're not worthy . maybe you just got lucky and found the greatest wife in the world . whatever it is , go with it , austin . forget about this meaningless fling . be all about summer . make yourself worthy of her . kyle : [ groans ] let me guess . you 're thinking about austin . christine : you 're insinuating that i ca n't remain professional , and you did that in front of nikki ! paul : i am just trying to consider all the different elements of this case . christine : because i have n't ? paul : have you thought that someone else might have poisoned kelly or it was an accident ? christine : phyllis obviously tried to kill the woman . paul : or maybe you had to see it that way because you ca n't let go of the fact that she went unpunished for a crime she committed against us . christine : so , now it 's wrong to work aggressively to put criminals behind bars ? you should tell your police officers that , because their job would be so much easier ! paul : chris , do n't turn this around ! my job as the chief of police and your job as the district attorney is to make sure we charge the right person with the crime . christine : so , you want to waste taxpayers ' money focusing on other suspects when all the evidence points toward phyllis ? paul : all the circumstantial evidence ? christine : oh , god . you know what ? paul : look , i 'm just trying to -- christine : no , just stop it ! you want to know -- you are questioning my integrity ? ! paul : i am doing no such thing . chris , come on , please . we are having a business disagreement . that 's it . do n't blow this out of proportion . christine : this is not about business . this is about us and this is about our marriage and this is about your undying loyalty to nikki ! nikki : i guess everything finally hit the fan , huh ? i can see that you already regret what you just said to devon . neil : it was the truth , nikki . nikki : my issues hit the fan , too . neil : your family ? nikki : they know about my drinking . neil : now what ? nikki : well , they want me to go back to meetings . i said that i would . neil : that 's not what you really want . you want a second opinion , do n't you ? lily : devon , what do you expect ? you slept with his wife -- your stepmother . devon : i understand that , and i expected him to be hurt and angry . lily : and humiliated and betrayed and insulted . devon : everything -- all of that . but the stuff that he just said to me ... lily : i 'm sure the alcohol was partly to blame . devon : does n't make it hurt any less . and i still -- i ca n't for the life of me ... believe that hilary was playing me . lily : are you kidding me ? devon : no , i 'm not . there 's nothing in this world that could have convinced me that woman did n't love me . and now i want to hate her . lily : do n't tell me that you 're holding out hope that vicious bitch who ruined your relationship with your father will come crawling back to you . nikki : i 'm going to a meeting . neil : right this minute ? nikki : yeah . there 's a memorial later for my granddaughter 's husband . neil : ooh , i 'm -- i 'm really sorry about that . my condolences to summer and the rest of the family . nikki : thank you . i know it 's gon na be emotionally taxing . the meeting will help me get through it . i think it would help you , too . you want to come with me ? neil : no . i do n't think so . nikki : well , neil , you ca n't just be constantly drunk . awful things can happen when you 're this out of control . we both know that . neil : we do , but i - i - i do n't have any interest in getting sober today . nikki : at least let me take you home . neil : yeah . yeah . let 's go . nikki : okay . neil : yeah . noah : [ exhales sharply ] okay , kiddo . it 's just you and me now . summer : i do n't know . seeing these videos just hit me all over again , noah . i mean , there 's my husband . that 's my husband , and he 's talking to me and he 's walking , he 's breathing , and we 're -- we 're kissing . i do n't know . just seeing these videos makes me feel like he 's gon na walk through that door any minute . noah : is that what bothers you about watching these videos -- it makes you miss him ? summer ? summer : what he 's saying in these videos , i 've never even heard before , and it 's so embarrassing and sad because i 'm supposed to be the person that knows austin better than anybody else , and now he 's dead and everything is about what i forgot or what i do n't remember , what i do n't know . please , no . i can not go to the memorial . i ca n't . kyle : i know about the affair between you and austin . abby : affair ? that 's -- that 's crazy . kyle : i took a weekend off -- went up to the cabin for a little r & r. now , imagine my surprise when i found evidence that you and austin had been up there together . abby : what kind of evidence ? kyle : enough to make me stay in town for a few more days and follow you two around . abby : you followed us ? kyle , what were you -- kyle : if i had asked , abby , would you have admitted it ? abby : i 'm still not admitting it . kyle : well , i needed confirmation , and i got it . i saw you two . what the hell were you thinking , abby ? abby : just tell me , what are you gon na do with this information ? mariah : what did your friend say ? kevin : everything kyle said made sense . his towel , his trunk -- had to be his blood , right ? mariah : but ... ? kevin : he lied . summer : [ crying ] how can i sit through austin 's memorial knowing i 'm the one that ended his life ? noah : summer , do n't do that . you are strong enough to handle this . summer : no . no , i am not strong . noah : hey , it does n't matter . you 're not alone . we 're all here for you . summer : no . i ca n't do it . i ca n't do it . noah : you need to be there . austin would want you there . summer : he would . noah : you can do this . summer : you 're gon na be there , though , right ? noah : always . summer : and kyle , too ? i 'm just glad that two people will be there that know the truth about what i did . noah : come here . kyle : look , i 'll admit i 've been feeling torn up about this whole thing . abby : so , you have n't told anyone ? thank you so much for keeping my horrible mistake a secret . kyle : i never said that . abby : you told someone ? kyle : i did . abby : who ? who ? who did you tell ? kyle : austin . i confronted him . we had it out . abby : like , an argument ? kyle : i was n't gon na let him get away with treating summer like garbage . abby : kyle , what did you do ? kyle : it got ... physical . abby : oh , my god . you -- you -- you did it ! kyle : shh ! abby : you bashed his head in . you killed austin . lily : just forget about hilary , okay ? focus on helping dad , even if he wo n't accept any help right now . devon : you still care about me , and i appreciate that . lily : of course i still care . devon : i know you 're mad at me , though . lily : i ca n't ever forgive you . i just ca n't see us being as close as we were . neil : i meant exactly what i said . i want to see that boy suffering because he made me suffer . you know what i mean ? nikki : well , he hurt you . it 's reasonable that you would want to hurt him , as well . neil : yep . damn straight , he hurt me . hey . hey , you 're not taking me to my place . i know what you 're doing . y - you 're taking me to an aa meeting . christine : when nikki walked in here , suddenly , once again , her word was gospel . you automatically sided with her over your wife ! paul : that is just not true . christine : you 've always been devoted to her , but ever since you found out about dylan , it 's more than being loyal and it 's more than noble . it is extreme . paul : i hope you 're not asking me to turn my back on dylan and nikki , because i really do n't want to do that , okay ? christine : oh , my god . it 's so much more than that ! paul : it 's not ! christine : you used to trust me . you used to have faith in my instincts . paul : i still do . christine : then why have you been second - guessing me from the minute that case landed on my desk ? and it 's not just about the case . it 's about putting our unborn child first . i am telling you right now -- god -- if you do not have faith in me ... i do n't know what kind of marriage we have . paul : i do n't know what to say here . you 're blowing this completely out of proportion ! neil : oh , hell , no ! i told you that i was n't gon na go to a meeting . nikki : i know . i would have said the same thing in your place . neil : no , no . you let me out of this car . nikki : do you know how often i have wished that somebody would have done this for me months ago ? neil : all right . i 've had it . i 've had it with you . pull -- pull this car over . you know what ? i - i 'm gon na get out of this car . nikki : after the meeting , i will be happy to take you home . neil : i told you i 'm not going to a meeting , okay ? ! nikki : relax . neil : do it now ! nikki : neil , stop ! [ next_on ] noah : austin had this video of abby , and you were in the background . what were you doing here ? nikki : [ gasps ] oh , my god ! oh , my god ! paul : you do n't give a damn about anyone , do you ? victor : what are you talking about ? paul : this is all on you !
summer finds videos on austin 's computer that she 'd never seen before . noah stays to comfort summer , but the others leave . kevin suspects mariah knows more than she 's saying . kyle confronts abby that he knows about the affair . he admits he and austin had an argument that turned physical . summer feels that she should n't go to the memorial . lily tries to stop neil from drinking but only fuels the fire . neil tells devon how he feels . nikki walks in and offers to take neil home . on the way , neil realizes that nikki is taking him to an aa meeting , and he does n't want to go . he pulls the emergency brake . paul and christine argue about paul 's undying loyalty to nikki and how he does n't seem to have any faith in christine . she leaves the station in anger . as she 's getting into her car , nikki 's car barrels toward her .
<s>[INST] neil : hey . [ taps bar ] hey . hey . hey . where the hell you going , man ? i 'm not done ! ah , there she is -- dear , sweet lily . lily : i think you 've had enough to drink , dad . neil : so you say . [ sighs ] what you gon na do ? you gon na have your own father thrown out ? christine : mmm . mmm ! [ sighs softly ] paul : aha ! [ chuckles ] christine : i thought you were gon na be gone for a while . paul : yeah . so , that 's why you were sneaking in to my office , huh ? christine : maybe . paul : i thought you were going to limit your intake of chocolate . christine : i would like to have 20 of these , but i am only going to have one , so i am limiting myself . paul : you know , it was my impression that , uh , pregnant women like salty things , like peanuts and chips and pickles . christine : some women may like pickles , but if you would offer me a pickle , i 'd want it dipped in chocolate . paul : [ chuckles ] so , does that mean that our little baby 's gon na come out really sweet ? [ both chuckle ] nikki : hey , pa -- i am so sorry for interrupting . i 'll wait outside . paul : no , no , no . it 's fine . come on in . nikki : okay . paul : [ chuckles ] what 's going on ? nikki : well , i wanted to talk to both of you , actually , about a legal matter . paul : something that concerns the d.a . 's office ? nikki : it 's about the charges that have been filed against phyllis . we all know there 's not a lot of love lost between me and my ex - daughter - in - law . christine : so , you 're here to help us with the prosecution case ? nikki : actually , despite my past issues with her , i have come to believe -- well , no , i 'm certain -- that she 's innocent . christine : the evidence shows something else . paul : no , no , no . wait a minute . we ought to hear nikki out . she could provide us with some insight . noah : any news ? kevin : not yet . abby : news about what ? noah : that bloody towel we found in kyle 's trunk . kevin : i had a friend at the station test the blood . abby : why would you do that ? you do n't trust kyle ? kevin : the guy was driving around with a bloody towel in his trunk . mariah : what did your blood - tester friend find out ? abby : kyle is my cousin . do you really think he could be an accomplice to murder ? noah : i do n't know , abby . it seems like kyle 's hiding something . summer : how did you do it when your mom died ? kyle : i try ... to think about all the good times i had with her . summer : yeah . that 's really hard to do when i just ca n't get past seeing him dead . kyle : yeah , i know . well , what about pictures ? i mean , you need some for the memorial service , right ? summer : yeah , i guess so . kyle : well , you must have some photos of austin on your phone . summer : yeah , a few , but i transferred most of them . they 're actually on austin 's computer . i do n't think i can do this . kyle : hey , no . sure , you can . how tough is it finding good - looking pictures of a guy you once loved ? hmm ? summer : i guess he is pretty cute . here 's his `` summer and me `` file . austin : hey , my beautiful wife . where are you ? our future depends on this . paul : no , i think what nikki was saying -- christine : i think nikki should speak for herself . paul : oh . okay . uh , go ahead . you -- you did n't think phyllis poisoned kelly andrews ? nikki : no . phyllis seems to have changed . christine : nobody changes that much . and why are you and half this town suddenly defending her ? is she blackmailing you ? nikki : no , although i do n't blame you for jumping to that conclusion , given her past behavior . christine : you know , if that 's all you came to talk about , then -- paul : no . you say she changed . changed in what way ? nikki : she was with me during the underground collapse . christine : and she seized the opportunity to proclaim her innocence ? nikki : oh , no . she would n't have dared do that . i 'd had enough of her by that evening . my husband had moved her in to our home , against my wishes , and when i think of the horrible things that she did to my son before , after , and during their marriage -- christine : and yet you 're here . nikki : well , yes . i would hate to see you rush to trial when -- christine : so , do you think you know better than the d.a . and the chief of police ? paul : no . i do n't think that 's what she 's saying at all . nikki : i have seen something that you have n't . we all know how fierce she can get when she 's cornered . christine : yes . i know that . nikki : well , we were facing death . we had concrete and wreckage all around us , just waiting to bury us . i was certain that she would scratch and fight her way over me to get out , but she did n't . i mean , she put her life on the line and insisted that i be rescued first . christine : so she was looking for an angle . she felt she had nothing else to lose . nikki : what angle ? i mean , another minute or two and she could have been caught in the second collapse -- the one that almost killed jack and victor . christine : even if she had a burst of altruism in her self - serving life , what does that have to do with her poisoning kelly ? nikki : you have to believe me . she is a different person . christine : yes . right . she is a different person . when phyllis is jealous , she is more lethal and dangerous than ever . she would stop at nothing , up to and including attempted murder . nikki : no . not anymore . i really believe that you need to drop those charges . lily : look , let 's go to my office , okay ? we can talk . neil : talk ? [ clears throat ] is that another word for `` lecture `` ? 'cause if it is , i 'm not going . no , i 'm cool . i 'm good right here . lily : do n't do this again . you remember what happened last time . neil : come on . i remember exactly what happened last time . lily : okay . then if you know that , why would you want to drink again ? neil : that 's a good question , and i got a good answer for you -- because sobriety has brought me nothing but pain and betrayal , much more than i ever thought it would . no . forget sobriety . lily : dad , think about moses . neil : mnh - mnh . do n't you dare play that card with me . moses is good . his mama is taking good care of him . lily : you are so selfish . he needs more than a good mom . he needs a father who is healthy and sober . do n't do this to him . neil : you listen to me , okay ? because that boy will survive . lily : oh , like i did ? you want to do this to me again ? really ? neil : it 's not about you . i do n't want to hurt you . lily : oh , really ? okay . then you 're trying to hurt devon like this ? neil : how are you and cane doing ? lily : we tried to talk again last night . neil : you tried ? lily : well , it just kept ending in a fight , so he slept in the guest room . neil : well ! and you think that 's good for you or the kids ? lily : i 'm sorry . i 'm not the one who 's self - destructing . you are . neil : [ chuckles ] oh , lily . and now the bargaining begins , does it ? ! what 's it gon na be ? is it gon na be dad who has to give up drinking or for lily to forgive her husband ? that 's what it is . lily : will that work ? neil : no . hell , no , that 's not gon na work , 'cause i do n't care about cane . i love you , but cane -- the hell with him . you can dump that guy . devon : dad . stop taking this out on lily . neil : well ! look what the cat dragged in -- the billionaire , the arbiter of how to treat your family right ... the man i used to call `` my son , `` the man who did everything to drive me to this point except ... pour the bourbon into this glass . summer : i remember the day austin shot this . summer : i thought you had the camera set already . austin : [ chuckles ] the angle was n't right . i want this shot to be all about you . summer : all right , mr. director . what do you want me to say ? austin : nothing . it 's a reaction shot . there 's one look that i want the whole world to see . summer : what look ? austin : it 's the look that my beautiful wife gets when i say , `` i love you , summer , forever . `` summer : is that what your whole film is -- just me sitting here ? austin : [ chuckles ] no . mmm . summer : [ laughs ] [ doorbell rings ] summer : is this gon na be your whole film ? austin : it is . it is . i 'm just tickling you . just tickling you . summer : [ laughing ] stop it ! austin : [ growls playfully ] summer : [ laughs ] you 're bigger than me ! kyle : summer ... look who it is . abby : hey . summer : thanks for coming . noah : thought you needed some moral support . mariah : i thought fen was supposed to be here . summer : yeah . he stopped by earlier . abby : oh . why 'd he leave ? kevin : you know he 's in college , right ? summer : he had to get back to school . kyle : summer found this video of her and austin . mariah : you guys look ... really happy . summer : he 's just ... goofing off with the camera . i mean ... just dreaming of getting a big - time directing job -- that 's all he talked about , was our future together . austin : you 're not even ticklish . summer : it 's not fair ! [ laughs ] austin : hey ... you know , the camera loves you , but i love you more . abby : you know what , summer ? i think that 's enough emotional reflux for one day . summer : no , no , no , please . i - i need to watch this . i want to see my husband again , please . austin : [ sighs ] hi , summer . it 's valentine 's day , 2015 . summer : [ gasps ] kyle : what is it ? summer : i 've never seen this one before . noah : hey , you know , you do n't have to do this right now , okay ? summer : no , i do ! i have to watch this ! my husband made this for me the day that he died ! for this noah : ready ? austin : you are probably expecting roses and candy -- for this to be some kind of love sonnet . and you deserve all that . but , um , i 'm feeling like , summer , what -- what i really need to give you in an apology . summer : an apology for what ? austin : you 've been telling me that i have n't been acting like myself lately , and the truth is ... i really do n't like myself much lately . there 's a reason for that and something you need to know . summer : hey ! okay , okay . now , before you start yelling about how much money i just spent , i got a really good sale on those t - shirts that you like . austin : mm . summer : yeah . um , did you start packing for the cabin yet ? no ? okay . well , it 's gon na be a lot of fun . i 'm really excited . summer : i could tell that something was off that night at the cabin , but seeing this ? i had no idea he was so depressed . noah : he sounded more than depressed . kevin : yeah . what was all that about an apology ? noah : why did he feel like he needed to tape it rather than say he 's sorry face - to - face ? summer : i do n't know . noah : was he scared to tell you something in person ? summer : scared of -- of me ? no . no , no , no . there 's nothing that austin could say or do that would make me that mad or upset . abby : you know what ? i hate to rush off , but there is something that i need to handle . i forgot about it . i 'll see you later . noah : what do you want to do ? summer : i want to watch this again and try to figure it out . kevin : what 's going on ? what was that look between you and abby ? christine : nikki , we appreciate you being so civic - minded , coming to us with this , but since you 're not an officer of the court and you have no idea the evidence that 's stacked against phyllis , you 're hardly qualified to have any say in her fate . paul : you know , maybe we should n't dismiss what nikki says so quickly . christine : she just stated an opinion . paul : yes , but she gave us a glimpse into phyllis ' state of mind , and since she and phyllis are not friends , she has absolutely nothing to gain . christine : unlike me ? that 's what you 're saying , is n't it -- that i ca n't see this objectively ? nikki : okay . thank you both for hearing me out . i 'm gon na let you get back to work . christine : how could you do that to me ? ! devon : do you mind if we take this somewhere private , dad ? neil : oh . you want some privacy ? devon : yes . neil : like you had with my wife ? i do n't even want to share the same air with you . lily : okay , take your anger out on who 's to blame , and that 's hilary . neil : hilary ? what , did she throw some voodoo on him ? did she hypnotize him ? did she throw him into bed and try to seduce him like she tried to do with cane ? ha ha ! mmm . mmm ! let 's talk about that for a minute . lily : no , let 's not . neil : if cane were to have an affair with hilary -- right ? -- would you just blame hilary for that ? no ! you would n't ! you ca n't even forgive your husband , and what he did was nowhere near as contemptible as what you did ! no . lily : i 'm not trying to compare the two . neil : that 's exactly what i 'm saying . there is no comparison to what this ingrate did , to his betrayal . nothing can top what you did . i think it 's time for another drink . lily : you know what ? i 'm not gon na stand here and watch you drink yourself into oblivion . have fun . neil : goodbye . devon : i 'm sure me saying how sorry i am -- neil : `` sorry `` do n't mean jack . devon : then at least let me try . neil : do n't even try , because nothing that you say means anything to me . because you -- you do n't mean anything to me . read my lips . you are not ... my son . devon : i know that that 's the alcohol talking ... because there 's no way , after all the years that you spent dedicating your life to making me feel love that i can mean nothing to you . i know that you 're hurt , and i know what i did to you . but you are my dad . neil : tucker mccall is your dad . devon : there 's a very big difference between `` biological father `` and `` dad . `` neil : you lie like him . you cheat like him . you got no moral fiber , just like him . if you want to call somebody `` dad , `` why do n't you go find tucker ? you two actually deserve each other . devon : i am truly , truly sorry . neil : are you ? devon : yes , i am . neil : did you tell hilary that you love her ? devon : why are you asking me that ? neil : because i need to know . did you ? devon : yes , i did . neil : mm . and were you lying when you said it ? devon : no . neil : mm . were you planning on spending the rest of your life with her ? devon : yes . neil : and were you lying when you proposed to her -- gave her that ring ? devon : no . neil : and when you said all that ... did you know ... that she was married to me ? devon : yes , i did know she was married to you . neil : yeah . damn right , you did . you were my best man , were n't you ? you stood right next to me in that park while i exchanged my vows with hilary . that was you , was n't it ? devon : yes , it was me . and i ca n't tell you how sorry i am . neil : when exactly was it that you started feeling sorry ? was it the first time that you kissed her ? was it the first time that you undressed her , touched her skin , made love to her ? or was it when you were planning to run away with her ? or -- wait ! or when she ... ran away from you ? devon : you know the answer to this question . neil : i sure do . devon : i know you do , because you lived this when you did the same thing to your brother . neil : [ groans ] devon : and just like you , i 'm gon na find a way , somehow , no matter what it takes , to make this right with you over time . neil : your time -- your time is up , man . you can take all your `` sorrys `` and all your regrets and stick 'em where the sun does n't shine . devon : i 'm not gon na give up on you and turn my back on my father . neil : i 'm not your dad . devon : yes , you are my dad . neil : you 're being stupid . how many times do i have to tell you ? devon : why do n't you tell me what i can do to make this right ? neil : [ chortles ] there 's nothing . there is absolutely nothing you can do to make this right . but you -- you can make it a little better . devon : how ? neil : take a drink . devon : no . neil : take a little sip . now do me a favor . go to a liquor store . buy a crazy- expensive bottle of scotch . go to a five - star hotel . get a room there with your billions . crack the bottle and smell it . pour a glass . take a long drink ... and keep drinking until that bottle is all gone . then grab another bottle and become a drunk ... just like your old man . and my gift to you can become your gift ... to me . kyle : i 've got to head off , too , summer . summer : okay . well , you 're gon na be at the memorial , right ? kyle : yeah , i promise . summer : okay . kyle : okay . summer : thank you . kyle : yeah . okay . noah : [ groans softly ] got any coffee , bud ? summer : i 'm just trying to take my mind off of things . noah : that 's the plan . you guys want some coffee ? kevin : no , thanks . we 're good . mariah : would you stop answering for me ? coffee sounds really great right now . kevin : not until you tell me what 's going on with you and abby . or maybe i should ask summer . does she know ? mariah : no . fine . all right . look , i do n't think austin was depressed in that video . i think he was guilty . kevin : about what ? austin : hey . hey . look into the lens . abby : hi ! austin : [ laughs ] abby : coffee ! austin : yeah . what kind of coffee is it ? abby : um , it is black . austin : it 's black ? abby : i 'm hard - core . austin : yeah . you are . abby : [ laughs ] austin : try on the sunglasses . mariah : about that . abby : okay . summer : that 's weird . wh - why would austin 's laptop have a video of my aunt abby ? noah : i know why . [ laughter ] abby : mm . no , this ca n't happen . austin : it should n't . abby : you 're not this kind of guy . austin : i 'm not . look , we should stop before it goes any further . abby : right . yeah . we -- we should n't do this . austin : turns out i am that kind of guy . abby : i ca n't believe we did that . summer is my niece . i love her . austin : i - i know . look , it 's my fault . i 'm the one who 's married . summer has done nothing but love me . abby : this ca n't happen again . austin : it wo n't . it 's just a one - time thing . noah : the reason why , uh , austin had this footage of abby was 'cause he was working on that documentary -- you know , the one about the corporate titans and how they got to the top . you remember , summer ? summer : no . noah : no ? summer : yeah , i do n't -- i do n't remember him actually working on -- [ sighs ] abby 's not some mogul . why would austin want to interview her about this ? noah : i think he probably just wanted to ask her about grandpa and jack . it 's just leftover test footage or something . summer : i 'm such an awful wife , you guys . noah : no . no . hey . austin did not think that . look , most of these videos are all about how much he loved you . summer : yeah , but i did n't even know what he was working on . how could i just forget something like that ? i mean , what kind of wife just -- just does n't even remember her husband 's work and his passion ? noah : shh . it 's okay . it 's okay . kevin : [ clears throat ] austin : i ca n't take it anymore . i 'm so over this marriage . i just want out . abby : no , you do n't . austin : yeah , i do , and i thought you 'd have a more positive response . abby : no . you 're not ending things with summer . i 'm ending things with you . austin : look , summer and me -- that 's not your call , but you and me -- abby : it 's over . what i did was selfish and awful , and this is never happening again . austin : look , i ca n't just go back to summer . she does n't get me the way that you do . maybe it 's 'cause she 's young and inexperienced , but -- abby : or maybe that 's just a lame excuse because you 're scared . austin : scared of what ? abby : because you love her . you 've never felt good enough for her , so you 're gon na smash things up before she finds someone better . austin : she 's beautiful . she 's got money . abby : yeah , and maybe you 're not worthy . maybe you just got lucky and found the greatest wife in the world . whatever it is , go with it , austin . forget about this meaningless fling . be all about summer . make yourself worthy of her . kyle : [ groans ] let me guess . you 're thinking about austin . christine : you 're insinuating that i ca n't remain professional , and you did that in front of nikki ! paul : i am just trying to consider all the different elements of this case . christine : because i have n't ? paul : have you thought that someone else might have poisoned kelly or it was an accident ? christine : phyllis obviously tried to kill the woman . paul : or maybe you had to see it that way because you ca n't let go of the fact that she went unpunished for a crime she committed against us . christine : so , now it 's wrong to work aggressively to put criminals behind bars ? you should tell your police officers that , because their job would be so much easier ! paul : chris , do n't turn this around ! my job as the chief of police and your job as the district attorney is to make sure we charge the right person with the crime . christine : so , you want to waste taxpayers ' money focusing on other suspects when all the evidence points toward phyllis ? paul : all the circumstantial evidence ? christine : oh , god . you know what ? paul : look , i 'm just trying to -- christine : no , just stop it ! you want to know -- you are questioning my integrity ? ! paul : i am doing no such thing . chris , come on , please . we are having a business disagreement . that 's it . do n't blow this out of proportion . christine : this is not about business . this is about us and this is about our marriage and this is about your undying loyalty to nikki ! nikki : i guess everything finally hit the fan , huh ? i can see that you already regret what you just said to devon . neil : it was the truth , nikki . nikki : my issues hit the fan , too . neil : your family ? nikki : they know about my drinking . neil : now what ? nikki : well , they want me to go back to meetings . i said that i would . neil : that 's not what you really want . you want a second opinion , do n't you ? lily : devon , what do you expect ? you slept with his wife -- your stepmother . devon : i understand that , and i expected him to be hurt and angry . lily : and humiliated and betrayed and insulted . devon : everything -- all of that . but the stuff that he just said to me ... lily : i 'm sure the alcohol was partly to blame . devon : does n't make it hurt any less . and i still -- i ca n't for the life of me ... believe that hilary was playing me . lily : are you kidding me ? devon : no , i 'm not . there 's nothing in this world that could have convinced me that woman did n't love me . and now i want to hate her . lily : do n't tell me that you 're holding out hope that vicious bitch who ruined your relationship with your father will come crawling back to you . nikki : i 'm going to a meeting . neil : right this minute ? nikki : yeah . there 's a memorial later for my granddaughter 's husband . neil : ooh , i 'm -- i 'm really sorry about that . my condolences to summer and the rest of the family . nikki : thank you . i know it 's gon na be emotionally taxing . the meeting will help me get through it . i think it would help you , too . you want to come with me ? neil : no . i do n't think so . nikki : well , neil , you ca n't just be constantly drunk . awful things can happen when you 're this out of control . we both know that . neil : we do , but i - i - i do n't have any interest in getting sober today . nikki : at least let me take you home . neil : yeah . yeah . let 's go . nikki : okay . neil : yeah . noah : [ exhales sharply ] okay , kiddo . it 's just you and me now . summer : i do n't know . seeing these videos just hit me all over again , noah . i mean , there 's my husband . that 's my husband , and he 's talking to me and he 's walking , he 's breathing , and we 're -- we 're kissing . i do n't know . just seeing these videos makes me feel like he 's gon na walk through that door any minute . noah : is that what bothers you about watching these videos -- it makes you miss him ? summer ? summer : what he 's saying in these videos , i 've never even heard before , and it 's so embarrassing and sad because i 'm supposed to be the person that knows austin better than anybody else , and now he 's dead and everything is about what i forgot or what i do n't remember , what i do n't know . please , no . i can not go to the memorial . i ca n't . kyle : i know about the affair between you and austin . abby : affair ? that 's -- that 's crazy . kyle : i took a weekend off -- went up to the cabin for a little r & r. now , imagine my surprise when i found evidence that you and austin had been up there together . abby : what kind of evidence ?
