liam hugs hope and tells her to forget about the video tape , forget steffy and what happened in italy . none of that matters . he loves her and wants to stay married . she replies that she loves him too , and she wishes she could say none of the other stuff mattered , but ...... now she has these papers that must be filed . she knows liam was confused when deacon showed up and left that letter , but that does not make it okay . it ultimately comes down to they are not officially married and she is not sure she wants a lifelong commitment to someone who would jump in bed or kiss another woman on their wedding day . all the reasons and explanations he is giving her does not change anything . yet now he expects her to get over it . steffy explains to her mother that hope offered liam back to her and she told hope that was foolish . yes , she 'd like to have her husband back , but she 's not going to jump in every time they have a mood swing . not so long ago , yes she would have taken that ring and run , but that is just not where she is anymore . justin stops in and tells marcus and dayzee that it 's all set ; the judge will be calling marcus into chambers as soon as he reviews the file . marcus hopes he can be home and all this cleared up before his mother hears about it .

( chuckles ) caroline : ( chuckles ) man : ( clears throat ) i 'll check it out . be right back . thomas : ( sighs ) caroline : strange , huh ? thomas : yeah , it 's strange . i get the same damage hitting a pothole that marcus does hitting a person . [ scene_break ] marcus : well , the best part of getting this over with tonight is i can get home before my mom hears about it . justin : exactly why i have n't told her yet . eric : there 's no reason to tell donna and get her all upset while she 's on this trip with her father . stephanie : what are you talking about ? you 're gon na have to tell her eventually . posting bail just gets you out of here . you 're gon na probably stand trial . justin : yeah , but they can drop it . marcus has a lot of things in his favor . it 's not exactly worth the prosecutor 's time . eric : yeah , but it 's obvious that marcus had no intent to harm anthony . marcus : yeah , but , dad , if they 're trying to make a point , then -- justin : no , not -- not with a case like this . you called the ambulance . you went to the hospital . you accepted responsibility . marcus : well , yeah -- hell , yeah , and i plan on never texting and driving again . justin : i believe you , son . the judge will , too . [ scene_break ] caroline : careful . you 're on camera . security feed . thomas : ( sighs ) yeah . uh , a lot of robberies in this area last year . most of the stores in this area have one now . every dayzee decided to ... caroline : what ? thomas : that pothole we hit was outside the coffee shop , right where marcus hit anthony . maybe dayzee 's camera caught it on tape . [ scene_break ] taylor : well , i 've got ta say i - i 'm very proud of you , knowing how much you love liam . steffy : it was n't that long ago where i would have grabbed that ring and ran . but you know what ? taking advantage and -- and plotting , it 's just not who i am anymore . brooke : i talked to hope . i know she was here , offering to walk away from liam . steffy : so you came to thank me , brooke ? hope had her ring off . she was trying to give it to me . i told her to go home to her husband . [ scene_break ] hope : ( sighs ) liam , i want to believe that what happened does n't matter . i love you . but i 've got this decision now , because we still have to file these papers . i mean , i ... i know that we 've said the words , but that does n't technically make it legal , and -- and now , i 'm just thinking ... do i really want to commit my life to someone who would kiss another woman on our wedding day ? liam : hope , do n't make it sound like i did n't -- hope : no , liam . liam , i realize that things got really confusing for you when deacon showed up and left that letter , but that -- that does not make it okay . all the explanations , all the reasons that you 're giving me does not change how i feel about what you and steffy did on that bed while i was rushing off to pledge my life to you . and you just expect me to get over it ? [ scene_break ] dayzee : hi . ( chuckles ) stephanie : quite a way to begin a married life . dayzee : oh , my gosh . unbelievable , right ? ( sighs ) it could have been worse , though -- much worse . stephanie : that 's true . at least anthony 's gon na be all right dayzee : yeah . reconstructive surgery -- he 'll be better after it 's over . stephanie : i hope so . dayzee : yeah . stephanie : i do n't suppose he wants to hear much of that now , though . dayzee : no . stephanie : no . dayzee : he 's still really bitter , which , i mean , i do n't blame him . stephanie : ( sighs ) dayzee : obviously , he 's upset . but once he understands that marcus never meant to hurt him -- he means what he said about not ever texting and driving again . it was a tough lesson to learn , but ... he 's learned it . stephanie : well , i certainly hope so , but you know what they say -- actions speak louder than words . dayzee : that 's right .

phyllis : and i had to take a hard line with her . you know , she has to learn to live on what she makes . so i refused to give her any handouts . sharon : but she is her daddy 's girl . phyllis : yes , and nick is a soft touch , and he decided to give her some regular spending money . sharon : that 's definitely something nick would do . and i can see how that would annoy you . phyllis : yeah , well , it 's driving me up a wall . just one other thing to come in between me and my daughter . sharon : sounds like you and summer just need to find a way to put your problems aside and reconnect . phyllis : really ? is it that easy ? i should have thought of that myself . sharon : oh , do n't make it sound like it 's the end of the world . it might be as simple as a mother / daughter weekend . that would be a great way to bond again . phyllis : [ laughs ] that 's how much you know . summer and i need distance . plenty of it . summer : okay . explain . kyle : [ chuckles ] you did n't factor in your mom . big mistake . huge . and do n't spend too much time picking out something sexy for you to wear on our night together . because you do n't be wearing it long . summer : okay , no , you think that my mom can stop me from taking this trip . i will find a way to handle her . i always do . kyle : not this time . one , you live with phyllis . so she 'll notice if you try to just sneak off . two , you work with phyllis . and since your request to attend the trade show was rejected , she 'll expect you to be in the office . summer : that 's it ? kyle : throw in the small matter of you threatening to out your mom and dad 's fling to billy , further eroding any inclination phyllis may have to trust her baby girl , and she 'll be tracking every move you make . summer : careful . your desperation to win our little bet is starting to show . kyle : yeah ? summer : mm - hmm . kyle : who 's touching who ? summer : i 'm just giving you a little taste , since you 'll be left wanting . kyle : mm . you sure about that ? summer : you know , you should go out and get your car fully detailed for its new owner . me . because i am getting on that plane , and then i 'm getting into bed with billy . kyle : bets aside , say , just say , this works out just as you planned , and you do the deed with billy . where 's that leave you and your mom ? summer : okay , well , she and i are not in a great place , anyway . and it 's not like she gave much thought to consequences before she jumped between the sheets with my dad . kyle : you 're stealing her guy . summer : i am not `` stealing `` anybody . i am simply conducting an experiment to expose the fact that she and billy are not the happy couple that they claim to be . if anything , they should be thanking me . kyle : i 'm sure they 'll both love you so much for doing this to them . and after what you already pulled with your mom and nick , it 'll blow your relationship apart . are you really willing to risk that over a loser like billy ? summer : first of all , do n't call him that . and , yeah , billy is worth making certain sacrifices for . kyle : why ? summer : is it really out of the realm of possibility to think that billy may have the hots for me , too ? kyle : this is n't about billy . he just happens to be phyllis ' man of the moment . that 's why you picked him . this is about you and your mom . summer : okay , you are so wrong . kyle : then i dare you to test my theory . summer : how ? kyle : take a long , honest look at all that garbage connected to your mom you 've been hauling around for years and talk to her about it . summer : that 's it ? kyle : that 'll take way more guts , and have a more satisfying payoff , than jumping into bed with billy . summer : nice try . but you 're not gon na win our bet . that car is mine . nick : meeting 's over . jack : whoa , whoa . you 're taking this all wrong , nick . nick : then why do n't you clear it up for me ? did you or did you not convince me to buy that leasing company ? jack : i explained to you -- nick : yeah , so you could have some way to control some of billy 's business decisions . but you left out some pretty significant details , did n't you ? like your overriding plan to get me to kill the leases so billy ca n't open his cosmetics stores . jack : okay . the thought occurred to me -- nick : you manipulated me . i brought you on because i need you . i need someone who i can trust , someone who i can rely on , and i really thought you wanted to be a part of this . jack : i do . i am not playing you . i respect you . and helping you with this business , i could n't ask for more rewarding work . nick : but you clearly care more about undermining your brother . jack : yes , you are right that i am trying to stop billy . i am convinced these boutiques are gon na fail . and you and i are gon na get stuck with the leases . now , i want jabot to succeed , but more than that , i want you and dark horse to succeed . i have not lied to you . all the facts i 've brought to you are solid . these are bad deals . here . see for yourself . billy negotiated a deal that was below market value for these locations . this ... is a list of the deals we have with billy . those are our leasing contracts . this is what similar venues are charging . we can find tenants who will pay a lot more than jabot . i am trying to help you , i am trying to help dark horse when i tell you , kill these contracts . you lose nothing . and you gain a hefty profit . that 's the truth . you have a promise from me . lily : [ sighs ] thank you . but you ca n't do this every morning . you know , just lying around , waiting to see if i 'm okay before you go to work . cane : yeah , well , that 's one of the perks of being the boss , huh ? i just wish i could be more help to you . lily : no . you have done so much . i could n't get through this without you . cane : maybe you should talk to someone who could help you in a way that i can't . you know ? maybe you should talk to a therapist . about your lingering feelings about the accident . lily : uh ... i mean , i do n't know . i ... i feel like when we went to go see a marriage counselor , it did n't really go well for me . and what 's the point ? my -- my sentencing is so soon . what good could it really do ? cane : well , it 's got to be better than doing nothing , you know ? i just hate seeing you suffer like this . jack : well ? nick : i wo n't cancel jabot 's leases . jack : can i respectfully ask why ? the numbers speak for themselves . nick : i 'm taking your advice . you assured me this deal would give me leverage over billy , which is what i want . and i want it long - term . are you arguing against that now ? jack : you know what , i stated my case . bottom line is , this is your call . nick : you 're right . it is . jack : i take it we 're done here . nick : we are . and this is the first and last time i 'm gon na say this -- you need to remember who 's company this is , and whose interests you 're here to serve . summer : [ sighs ] mom ? phyllis : hello , honey . summer : um ... i just ... wanted to talk to you about something . phyllis : well , i also wanted to talk to you . i wanted to share something with you . but you were up and out early this morning . summer : what 's wrong with that ? phyllis : nothing . nothing . i just thought maybe we could -- summer : i 'm taking a vacation day tomorrow . phyllis : was that on the schedule ? summer : i have a weekend yoga - workshop thing in madison . phyllis : you . yoga . summer : it 's more of a wellness retreat . something to help me detox after all the unpleasantness around here lately . phyllis : well , i wish you would have said something -- summer : i 'm leaving tonight . phyllis : hold up . okay . you may be my daughter , but you do n't get to bounce in here and just announce your plans , all right ? you have a job , tomorrow 's a workday , and i 'm gon na need your help while lauren is away at the trade show . summer : okay , well , you never said anything like th -- phyllis : well , i should n't have to explain anything like that . your vacation days have to be approved by your supervisor . and i know that you 're jonesing for a detox weekend , but i -- i would like something like that myself right now . so you 're gon na have to cancel . summer : i already paid for it . phyllis : get a refund . summer : i can't . plus , if it was anyone else asking for a day off , you would n't care . so i 'm going . phyllis : what else is happening on this trip ? summer : nothing . phyllis : really ? 'cause i 'm getting the feeling there 's gon na be more than just sun salutations . summer : like what ? phyllis : shopping ? with that bribery money your father gave you . is that burning a hole in your little pocket ? summer : that was merely a generous gift from my loving father . phyllis : a gift due to blackmail . summer : you are complaining why ? you have just as much to lose as dad does if anyone finds out that you two slept together . so it was money well spent , and everyone wins . i just hope that you do n't betray billy again while he 's out of town . phyllis : i am not gon na waste my breath replying to that comment . besides , we are gon na be too busy packing . summer : why ? where are you going ? phyllis : when billy gets back , we are going to be moving out of your apartment . summer : so , when did you and billy decide to move ? phyllis : last night . it was his idea . summer : really ? phyllis : i was surprised . summer : i mean , i just figured that you could n't wait to get away from me because ... everything . phyllis : it 's not like that . i love you . summer : okay . then why ? phyllis : you know , billy just thought that we should have our own place , you know . and i actually agree with him . i thought you 'd be thrilled to have your apartment all to yourself . summer : i mean , you and i could use a break . it is a lot , living together and working together . phyllis : sometimes you have to take a step back to get close again . i hope that 's the case with us . summer : i hope so , too . cane : okay , i 'm not trying to pressure you into going to counseling , all right , i 'm just asking you to think about it , that 's all . lily : i know . i will . cane : okay . sharon : cane . lily . hey . good to see you . cane : hey . sharon : hope you 're holding up all right . cane : uh , we 're doing okay . lily : yeah . taking it day by day . sharon : well , i know what it 's like to have your world turned upside down , and to wonder how it will ever be right again . but you will do it , lily . lily : hmm . you sound so certain . sharon : you 're strong . and you have a lot of people around you who love you . i 'm sorry . i did n't mean to overstep . lily : no , you didn't . cane : no , no . you 've been great to us . we appreciate it . we really do . sharon : i 'm happy to help any way i can . cane : okay . lily : thanks . cane : well , uh ... i have to get to work . you know you can always , uh , call me . or you can text me . lily : i know . cane : or you can e - mail me . lily : i know . it 's okay . you can go . cane : or you can drop by . lily : bye . cane : i love you , okay ? lily : love you . hey . sharon : you want a pastry to go with that ? lily : actually , i was looking for something a little more substantial than breakfast . and , you know , you 've been really nice . sharon : tell me what you need . lily : well , um , cane wants me to see a therapist to talk about everything that 's been going on since the accident , and -- sharon : you 're reluctant . lily : i just do n't know if i 'm ready to open myself up to a stranger like that . sharon : because they might judge you ? lily : well , who would n't ? you know ? i killed ... anyway . i know that you 've been studying psychology . sharon : you -- you want a recommendation ? lily : i do n't want to talk about this , but i know i need to . so , i could really just use a friend right now . [ cellphone rings ] ashley : hey . i 'm sorry i have n't reached out . i 've been meaning to call you . neil : oh , no . that 's to be expected . we 're both busy . listen , i - i was hoping that you might be able to join me for some dinner tonight . ashley : i do n't really know my schedule , and i 'm just about to walk into a meeting , so ... neil : ah , okay . we 'll talk later . ashley : sounds good . bye . jack : hey . ashley : [ clapping ] good news ? jack : i 'm afraid not . my meeting with nick did not go as planned . he refused to cancel jabot 's leases . ashley : i thought you said it was handled , and it was n't an issue . jack : i did n't think it would be an issue . no , i made a very strong case . he thought i was pushing my own agenda , and he did n't appreciate it . ashley : ca n't you change his mind ? jack : no , he 'd only resent that . no , he made it very clear who 's the boss . i 'm telling you , it is so frustrating not to be in a position to make what i need to happen happen . ashley : yeah , tell me about it . jack : oh , ash , after everything i put you through ... i owe you . i 'll help you come up with another plan , okay ? ashley : no . i do n't want to jeopardize your work relationship with nick . so i 'll find another way to hobble billy from within the company . jack : well , i 'm sure you 'll come up with something . if there 's anything i can do , just ask . ashley : i 'll hold you to that . bye . jack : hey , hey . um ... i never thought i 'd say this , but one good thing has come from billy 's reign as ceo -- you and i are finally on the same side again . `` the young and the restless `` will continue . lily : i could get 20 years . and then i think , how do i survive that ? you know ? what is my family gon na go through ? the twins would be in their 30 's by the time i got out . sharon : and the nightmares ? lily : how do you know ? sharon : oh , like i said , i 've been there . lily : when i 'm awake , all i can think about is how things would be different if i had n't run that red light . sharon : and when you 're asleep ? lily : oh , my god . it 's awful . i ca n't tell cane . i do n't want him imagining those things . sharon : i do n't know if it 'll help to tell me , but it might . lily : [ sighs ] there 's just a lot about the accident that i do n't remember . and i 'm wondering if that 's why i 'm imagining these things that did n't happen in my dreams . where it 's not just hilary that 's hurt . sometimes my whole family is there . bleeding and dying . and it 's cane . my kids . my dad . sharon : and devon ? lily : i killed his wife and baby . and he wo n't forgive me . so that 's like i killed him , too . [ inhales , exhales loudly ] i know you said that i 'm strong . sharon : you are . lily : then how do i do this ? how do i go on with my life knowing that i murdered them ? sharon : it was an accident . lily : it does n't make hilary and the baby any less dead . and no amount of penance or good deeds will ever , ever make up for that . sharon : [ sighs ] look . the first thing that you need to do is stop lying to yourself . you are not a murderer . you made a mistake that had tragic consequences . and your penance is that this is something that you will always take with you . lily : what about my brother ? sharon : whether or not devon finds a way to forgive you , you have to forgive yourself . lily : let myself off the hook . sharon : would you prefer to drag your family through this guilt and regret and ... to the point that they do n't have any happiness , any hope , any life ? have your nightmares become a reality ? lily : no . god , no . no . sharon : okay . well , then , the best thing that you can do to give your kids and cane and -- and your dad and devon the best that you have to offer is to forgive yourself . it 's the way to move on , and it 's where you 're gon na find the strength to be there for them . no matter what happens . lily : [ snorts ] the way you talk , you make it sound like it 's possible . sharon : i have to believe that it is . jack : may i join you ? neil : of course , jack . sit down . jack : been thinking about you a lot lately . wondering how things are going with your family . neil : it 's a rough time . you know , devon is still blaming lily for hilary 's death . jack : where do things stand for lily legally right now ? her sentencing hearing is coming up . we are praying for the best . but michael is warning us that we 've got to prepare for the worst . jack : [ sighs ] oh , god . i 'm so sorry . neil : but i am staying positive . i 'm staying strong for the family . and i 'm trying to find a way to heal the rift between devon and lily . jack : look , maybe soon devon will shake off this anger and this pain and slide into something that comes more naturally -- loving his sister . neil : well , here 's to hoping you 're right . jack : and what about yourself ? you taking care of yourself ? you getting out ? escaping from everything that 's weighing on you ? neil : yeah . yeah , i 've managed a little . ashley 's been a good friend to me . we 've been spending some time together . jack : i did n't know that . ashley did n't mention it . but , then , she and i have our own wounds to heal . neil : she seems to have a lot on her plate recently . jack : are you wondering if she 's going to have more time for you in the near future ? neil : just making conversation . jack : from all i know , there 's no other man in her life right now . in case you 're wondering . ashley : i thought it was better for us to meet here , away from the office . kyle : i was curious when i got your text . you seem to have accomplished everything you wanted without any assistance from me . ashley : no . there 's been a hitch . please sit . okay , so , jack was n't able to get the job done . kyle : what , he could n't get nick to terminate the leases ? ashley : no . he led me to believe that it was a simple matter , but apparently it wasn't . so i have no other resort . i have to go to extreme measures to make sure that billy does n't continue to run jabot into the ground . kyle : [ sighs ] ashley : i need your help . and your discretion . kyle : absolutely . i know i can make this happen for us . in fact , i already stumbled on something that might help . ashley : what ? kyle : i picked up on some drama in billy 's personal life . we can use it to our advantage . ashley : i 'm not comfortable with that . kyle : look , if you do n't want my input , then i get -- ashley : it 's not about that , kyle . i 'm interested in anything you have to say . i have an idea , and i think it might work . but if it does n't , we 'll go back to your idea as a last - ditch effort , okay ? kyle : fill me in . ashley : you ca n't tell anybody . kyle : i won't . ashley : you ca n't tell your father . certainly not summer . i 'm taking a very big risk bringing you in on this . kyle : i wo n't betray your trust . ashley : okay . we have learned the hard way that billy ca n't be reigned in . he will not listen to logic . and we do n't have the power to stop him from gambling away jabot 's assets and prestige . i 'm not comfortable with this . but he leave me no other option . lily : thanks for letting me unload . it really made a difference . sharon : for me , too . and we can do this again whenever you want . lily : well , until i 'm locked up . sharon : or not . lily : thank you . bye . sharon : bye . jack : so , if , hypothetically , you were hoping to rekindle a flame with ashley , uh , hypothetically , i would think that was great . neil : mm . i 'm not looking for an endorsement . jack : oh , no , no . we 're just shooting the breeze . hey , look . this is none of my business . but i hope things do work out for the two of you . i think ... i think you could be really good for each other . especially right now . neil : i appreciate the encouragement . i do . and as far as the rest , uh ... we shall see . got to go . jack : take care . neil : yeah . you too . ashley : i think we have to go back to my original plan . which is giving billy enough rope to hang himself while we carefully document every expensive and irresponsible decision that he makes . hopefully we 'll have enough ammunition to take to the board , and then we can seek a non - confidence motion . kyle : how do i fit in ? ashley : well , when the opportunity presents itself -- and i 'm sure it will -- i want you to encourage billy 's reckless behavior . kyle : [ chuckles ] so easy . ashley : yeah , kyle , you know , do n't underestimate him . he knows that we 're gunning for him . he 's gon na have his guard up . kyle : so , how are you thinking of me being rewarded for my loyalty in all this ? ashley : i 've already told you . you 'll be looked after . kyle : what about the board members billy has on his side ? ashley : with the work that i 'll be doing behind the scenes , hopefully , when the time comes , phyllis will be the only one that 's left that 's blindly loyal to billy . what ? kyle : i 'd love to see this play out the way you 've envisioned it , but we have n't dealt with our biggest obstacle yet . what 's the point of a no- confidence vote if the blood - abbott clause means billy will remain ceo no matter what ? you said so yourself -- he 's bulletproof . ashley : yeah . but there 's another blood abbott . kyle : aunt traci . but we agreed she 's a non - starter . she has zero business experience , and wants nothing to do with running jabot . ashley : i think she 's gon na be more open to the suggestion when she finds out the damage that billy 's done to the company . and then we can convince her to take the job on an interim basis . just long enough to go to the board , get rid of the blood - abbott clause , and then she resigns . kyle : then you can take the reins . that 's where you 're going with this . you want to take over . ashley : it 's up to the board to appoint the ceo . i mean , whether it 's me or somebody else . without that clause , at least it gives the board freedom to appoint whoever is the most qualified for the position . kyle : i had no idea you were capable of being so machiavellian . ashley : i 'm protecting jabot . just like i 've always done . it 's interesting , though . when you find yourself fighting for something that you believe is right ... you do things you never imagined you could do . summer : oh ! since i proved you wrong again , drinks are on me . oh , excuse me . two coffees , please . kyle : what was i wrong about ? summer : my mom bought my story about my weekend yoga retreat in madison . kyle : for now . summer : just admit it . i outmaneuvered you . plus , my mom had some interesting news . kyle : about billy ? summer : he wants to move out of my apartment . kyle : then why are you celebrating ? billy clearly wants nothing to do with you . summer : ok , do n't be so dense . he clearly wants me too much , and he ca n't stand being constantly tempted . kyle : i do n't have time to waste on your fantasies . i have important matters to focus on . summer : such as ? kyle : all i can say is , i have big , new plans for the future . summer : oh . kyle : what 's that supposed to mean ? summer : nothing . you just always have `` big plans `` for yourself , they just ... never work out . kyle : excuse me ? summer : [ laughs ] do n't get all sensitive and hurt . it 's not an insult . it 's just ... the truth . kyle : not even close . summer : kyle , here 's the difference between you and me -- i will do whatever it takes to get what i want . to hell with the consequences . you 're willing to break the rules , but only so far . kyle : soon enough , you 'll realize just how far i 'm willing to go . neil : hi . ashley . ashley : oh ! hi . neil : hi . i hope you do n't mind me dropping in . i never heard from you about dinner tonight , so i figured i 'd just come by and see what 's going on . ashley : yeah . i 'm so sorry i did n't get back to you . i 've been crazy busy . i just had meeting after meeting -- neil : oh , come on . do n't apologize . i know how it goes . so , what do you say ? want to join me for some dinner ? come on -- ashley : i can't . neil : no , you ca n't , can you ? or are you just trying to break it gently to me that you 're not interested in picking up where we left off the other night , maybe ? ashley : first of all , i had the best time with you . i really did . neil : i had the best time with you . ashley : i never expected that to happen . neil : it 's crazy . me either . but i 'm -- i 'm glad it did . ashley : yeah . i just have so much happening in my life right now ... neil : i get it . i do , too . i -- i know you have big aspirations here at jabot . and if there 's one thing that i 've learned in life , which i 'm sure you 've learned , too , that if you want something badly enough in life , you make the time for it . so why do n't we clear up the confusion . why do n't you tell me what you want us to be . you want us to be friends or something more or -- [ chuckles ] or what ? ashley : i would n't mind finding out where this could lead . however , i ca n't really commit to anything more than that because there 's so much happening here , and a lot of shifting sand . neil : yeah , no , i get it . it 's -- you 're -- yeah . that 's a coincidence , because i 'm not ready for a commitment either right now . ashley : oh . okay . neil : mm - hmm . ashley : so , just exactly what are your expectations , sir ? neil : i was kind of thinking maybe we could get together again and go from there . you know , have a good time , see where that leads . how does that sound ? ashley : kind of perfect . [ laughs ] neil : [ laughs ] nick : hey . what 's on your mind ? sharon : lily . she 's feeling guilty about the accident . so i tried my best to console and help her . nick : brought up some bad memories for you ? sharon : how 'd you know ? nick : because i know how kind and empathetic you are . sharon : [ sighs ] it just got me thinking about , you know , the terrible things i 've done , and all the people i 've hurt , and just how incredibly hard it is to make amends and move on . nick : yeah , we 've all done things we regret . but when that happens , you know , there 's no going back . you have to move forward and strive to do better . we taught each other that . sharon : sometimes i forget how lucky i am to be marrying you . again . nick : i 'm the lucky one . phyllis : i am in pursuit of peace and fresh air . so if you know what 's good for you , you will leave me alone . kyle : i get that you 're still angry because i told summer about your fling with nick . but i 'm here to make it up to you . phyllis : yeah , well , that 's impossible . kyle : you 'll want to hear this . have you thought about attending the trade show in philadelphia ? phyllis : lauren is representing fenmore 's . billy is representing jabot . why would anyone else need to go ? kyle : excellent question . now , why would summer buy her own ticket to philadelphia after lauren told her to stay home ? phyllis : she wouldn't . kyle : summer did n't mention any ... weekend plans ? phyllis : a yoga retreat . she lied ? why ? kyle : why do you think ? summer plans to show up at billy 's hotel room tonight to ... welcome him to philly .
lily opens up to sharon about her fears of going to jail ad the guilt she feels about the accident and sharon tells her that she wo n't be able to move ahead until she forgives herself . jack tells ashley that nick decided he wo n't cancel the leases for the new jabot storesso ashley must go back to her original plan give billy enough rope to hang himself and then call for a no confidence vote so that traci can be ceo long enough to get rid of the blood abbot clause . neil amd ashley decide to have a fun casual relationship and see where it goes in the future . summe lies to her mother and gets a day off to go on a yoga retreat but later kyle tells phyllis that summer bought a ticket to philedelphia to be there to welcome billy to the trade show .
<s>[INST] [ previously_on ] lily : not for one second did i ever want hilary gone . i will carry the guilt of what i have done for the rest of my life . ashley : bye . nate : so , what 's up with you two ? neil : i 'm not sure . ashley : i 've asked your father for a little bit of discreet help . he 's working on having dark horse acquire the leasing company that billy is using to rent retail space for his boutiques . kyle : so , then , dark horse could cancel the whole deal , shattering billy 's retail dreams . ashley : hey . you waiting for billy ? kyle : he 's not in there . he had a meeting outside the office . and gloria is taking advantage and chatting up that new guy in sales . ashley : you 're very well - informed . kyle : that 's the goal . i was hoping to run into you , since you 've been out of touch . any updates on `` operation stop billy from destroying jabot `` ? ashley : it 's a done deal . dark horse bought the leasing company , and i fully expect those leases to be canceled today by nick newman , with a little friendly persuasion from my brother . kyle : pays to know people in the right places . ashley : mm - hmm . kyle : i 'm glad my dad could help . but i 'm ready and willing to do my part , too . ashley : good to know . i do n't think i need anything from you right now , though . but thanks . nick : what 's next ? jack : well , i 'll talk to you in a minute about our new office space , but first i want to talk about our newly - acquired leasing company . i 've just done a thorough review of all their current contracts . nick : any red flags ? jack : i think dark horse is going to have to cancel some leases . nick : long - term clients ? jack : some of them are more recent . but they 're bad deals . anyway , i had our attorneys draft these letters to inform our impacted businesses that their agreement is null and void . anyway , all you have to do is sign it . i ill see that it gets in the mail today . but since you questioned how forthright i had been with you earlier , i put this one on top . nick : do you expect me to kill the contract for the 30 stores jabot leased ? jack : i carefully reviewed the agreed rates against potential income , and the numbers reinforce what i 've suspected all along . it is in your best interest to cancel the jaboutique arrangement immediately . nick : all right . [ sighs ] do n't talk to me about what is best for me when clearly your priority here is your personal agenda . lily : [ gasps ] [ breathing hard ] cane : what 's wrong ? what 's wrong ? lily : just a , um ... another nightmare about the -- the accident . cane : [ sighs ] do you want to talk about it ? lily : no . cane : come here . come here . come here . lily : [ sniffles ] cane : come on . let 's try and get back to sleep . lily : no , and see that again ? i never want to sleep again . sharon : what are you doing here ? phyllis : i drink coffee . this place sells coffee . so that 's a novel concept , do n't you think ? sharon : no , i 'm just surprised that you would deign to enter my establishment after the venom that you hurled at me last week . what was it you said ? um ... oh , yeah . there 's only so much `` sharon `` you can take . phyllis : okay . i was not in the mood to hear you whine about how hard it is to keep our secret from nick . sharon : and you were n't very happy with summer that night . phyllis : and i 'm still not . can i get my usual , please ? sharon : mm . you 're still upset with her ? what 'd she do ? phyllis : well , my daughter keeps making bad choices . and she wants to take zero responsibility for them . though she is more than happy to judge me for the mistakes i have made . so can you please give me my coffee now ? thank you . sharon : i had no idea . i mean , she 's always so ... sweet with nick . phyllis : because nick is buying her off . summer : hey ! i 'm so happy to see you . kyle : late . i 'm on a coffee run . summer : oh , no , no , no . no , not until you hear this . everything for my trip to philadelphia is set . plane ticket purchased . room in the same hotel as billy booked.-not that i really plan on spending too much time in my room . kyle : hope your reservations are refundable . summer : why would i do that ? wait . no , what do you mean ? kyle : [ sighs ] no way are you going to philadelphia . additional sponsorship sharon : okay . you 're not getting this until you explain what you said about nick . phyllis : you are such a pain in my ... summer has blown through her trust fund . sharon : yes , i know . and ? phyllis : and i had to take a hard line with her . you know , she has to learn to live on what she makes . so i refused to give her any handouts . sharon : but she is her daddy 's girl . phyllis : yes , and nick is a soft touch , and he decided to give her some regular spending money . sharon : that 's definitely something nick would do . and i can see how that would annoy you . phyllis : yeah , well , it 's driving me up a wall . just one other thing to come in between me and my daughter . sharon : sounds like you and summer just need to find a way to put your problems aside and reconnect . phyllis : really ? is it that easy ? i should have thought of that myself . sharon : oh , do n't make it sound like it 's the end of the world . it might be as simple as a mother / daughter weekend . that would be a great way to bond again . phyllis : [ laughs ] that 's how much you know . summer and i need distance . plenty of it . summer : okay . explain . kyle : [ chuckles ] you did n't factor in your mom . big mistake . huge . and do n't spend too much time picking out something sexy for you to wear on our night together . because you do n't be wearing it long . summer : okay , no , you think that my mom can stop me from taking this trip . i will find a way to handle her . i always do . kyle : not this time . one , you live with phyllis . so she 'll notice if you try to just sneak off . two , you work with phyllis . and since your request to attend the trade show was rejected , she 'll expect you to be in the office . summer : that 's it ? kyle : throw in the small matter of you threatening to out your mom and dad 's fling to billy , further eroding any inclination phyllis may have to trust her baby girl , and she 'll be tracking every move you make . summer : careful . your desperation to win our little bet is starting to show . kyle : yeah ? summer : mm - hmm . kyle : who 's touching who ? summer : i 'm just giving you a little taste , since you 'll be left wanting . kyle : mm . you sure about that ? summer : you know , you should go out and get your car fully detailed for its new owner . me . because i am getting on that plane , and then i 'm getting into bed with billy . kyle : bets aside , say , just say , this works out just as you planned , and you do the deed with billy . where 's that leave you and your mom ? summer : okay , well , she and i are not in a great place , anyway . and it 's not like she gave much thought to consequences before she jumped between the sheets with my dad . kyle : you 're stealing her guy . summer : i am not `` stealing `` anybody . i am simply conducting an experiment to expose the fact that she and billy are not the happy couple that they claim to be . if anything , they should be thanking me . kyle : i 'm sure they 'll both love you so much for doing this to them . and after what you already pulled with your mom and nick , it 'll blow your relationship apart . are you really willing to risk that over a loser like billy ? summer : first of all , do n't call him that . and , yeah , billy is worth making certain sacrifices for . kyle : why ? summer : is it really out of the realm of possibility to think that billy may have the hots for me , too ? kyle : this is n't about billy . he just happens to be phyllis ' man of the moment . that 's why you picked him . this is about you and your mom . summer : okay , you are so wrong . kyle : then i dare you to test my theory . summer : how ? kyle : take a long , honest look at all that garbage connected to your mom you 've been hauling around for years and talk to her about it . summer : that 's it ? kyle : that 'll take way more guts , and have a more satisfying payoff , than jumping into bed with billy . summer : nice try . but you 're not gon na win our bet . that car is mine . nick : meeting 's over . jack : whoa , whoa . you 're taking this all wrong , nick . nick : then why do n't you clear it up for me ? did you or did you not convince me to buy that leasing company ? jack : i explained to you -- nick : yeah , so you could have some way to control some of billy 's business decisions . but you left out some pretty significant details , did n't you ? like your overriding plan to get me to kill the leases so billy ca n't open his cosmetics stores . jack : okay . the thought occurred to me -- nick : you manipulated me . i brought you on because i need you . i need someone who i can trust , someone who i can rely on , and i really thought you wanted to be a part of this . jack : i do . i am not playing you . i respect you . and helping you with this business , i could n't ask for more rewarding work . nick : but you clearly care more about undermining your brother . jack : yes , you are right that i am trying to stop billy . i am convinced these boutiques are gon na fail . and you and i are gon na get stuck with the leases . now , i want jabot to succeed , but more than that , i want you and dark horse to succeed . i have not lied to you . all the facts i 've brought to you are solid . these are bad deals . here . see for yourself . billy negotiated a deal that was below market value for these locations . this ... is a list of the deals we have with billy . those are our leasing contracts . this is what similar venues are charging . we can find tenants who will pay a lot more than jabot . i am trying to help you , i am trying to help dark horse when i tell you , kill these contracts . you lose nothing . and you gain a hefty profit . that 's the truth . you have a promise from me . lily : [ sighs ] thank you . but you ca n't do this every morning . you know , just lying around , waiting to see if i 'm okay before you go to work . cane : yeah , well , that 's one of the perks of being the boss , huh ? i just wish i could be more help to you . lily : no . you have done so much . i could n't get through this without you . cane : maybe you should talk to someone who could help you in a way that i can't . you know ? maybe you should talk to a therapist . about your lingering feelings about the accident . lily : uh ... i mean , i do n't know . i ... i feel like when we went to go see a marriage counselor , it did n't really go well for me . and what 's the point ? my -- my sentencing is so soon . what good could it really do ? cane : well , it 's got to be better than doing nothing , you know ? i just hate seeing you suffer like this . jack : well ? nick : i wo n't cancel jabot 's leases . jack : can i respectfully ask why ? the numbers speak for themselves . nick : i 'm taking your advice . you assured me this deal would give me leverage over billy , which is what i want . and i want it long - term . are you arguing against that now ? jack : you know what , i stated my case . bottom line is , this is your call . nick : you 're right . it is . jack : i take it we 're done here . nick : we are . and this is the first and last time i 'm gon na say this -- you need to remember who 's company this is , and whose interests you 're here to serve . summer : [ sighs ] mom ? phyllis : hello , honey . summer : um ... i just ... wanted to talk to you about something . phyllis : well , i also wanted to talk to you . i wanted to share something with you . but you were up and out early this morning . summer : what 's wrong with that ? phyllis : nothing . nothing . i just thought maybe we could -- summer : i 'm taking a vacation day tomorrow . phyllis : was that on the schedule ? summer : i have a weekend yoga - workshop thing in madison . phyllis : you . yoga . summer : it 's more of a wellness retreat . something to help me detox after all the unpleasantness around here lately . phyllis : well , i wish you would have said something -- summer : i 'm leaving tonight . phyllis : hold up . okay . you may be my daughter , but you do n't get to bounce in here and just announce your plans , all right ? you have a job , tomorrow 's a workday , and i 'm gon na need your help while lauren is away at the trade show . summer : okay , well , you never said anything like th -- phyllis : well , i should n't have to explain anything like that . your vacation days have to be approved by your supervisor . and i know that you 're jonesing for a detox weekend , but i -- i would like something like that myself right now . so you 're gon na have to cancel . summer : i already paid for it . phyllis : get a refund . summer : i can't . plus , if it was anyone else asking for a day off , you would n't care . so i 'm going . phyllis : what else is happening on this trip ? summer : nothing . phyllis : really ? 'cause i 'm getting the feeling there 's gon na be more than just sun salutations . summer : like what ? phyllis : shopping ? with that bribery money your father gave you . is that burning a hole in your little pocket ? summer : that was merely a generous gift from my loving father . phyllis : a gift due to blackmail . summer : you are complaining why ? you have just as much to lose as dad does if anyone finds out that you two slept together . so it was money well spent , and everyone wins . i just hope that you do n't betray billy again while he 's out of town . phyllis : i am not gon na waste my breath replying to that comment . besides , we are gon na be too busy packing . summer : why ? where are you going ? phyllis : when billy gets back , we are going to be moving out of your apartment . summer : so , when did you and billy decide to move ? phyllis : last night . it was his idea . summer : really ? phyllis : i was surprised . summer : i mean , i just figured that you could n't wait to get away from me because ... everything . phyllis : it 's not like that . i love you . summer : okay . then why ? phyllis : you know , billy just thought that we should have our own place , you know . and i actually agree with him . i thought you 'd be thrilled to have your apartment all to yourself . summer : i mean , you and i could use a break . it is a lot , living together and working together . phyllis : sometimes you have to take a step back to get close again . i hope that 's the case with us . summer : i hope so , too . cane : okay , i 'm not trying to pressure you into going to counseling , all right , i 'm just asking you to think about it , that 's all . lily : i know . i will . cane : okay . sharon : cane . lily . hey . good to see you . cane : hey . sharon : hope you 're holding up all right . cane : uh , we 're doing okay . lily : yeah . taking it day by day . sharon : well , i know what it 's like to have your world turned upside down , and to wonder how it will ever be right again . but you will do it , lily . lily : hmm . you sound so certain . sharon : you 're strong . and you have a lot of people around you who love you . i 'm sorry . i did n't mean to overstep . lily : no , you didn't . cane : no , no . you 've been great to us . we appreciate it . we really do . sharon : i 'm happy to help any way i can . cane : okay . lily : thanks . cane : well , uh ... i have to get to work . you know you can always , uh , call me . or you can text me . lily : i know . cane : or you can e - mail me . lily : i know . it 's okay . you can go . cane : or you can drop by . lily : bye . cane : i love you , okay ? lily : love you . hey . sharon : you want a pastry to go with that ? lily : actually , i was looking for something a little more substantial than breakfast . and , you know , you 've been really nice . sharon : tell me what you need . lily : well , um , cane wants me to see a therapist to talk about everything that 's been going on since the accident , and -- sharon : you 're reluctant . lily : i just do n't know if i 'm ready to open myself up to a stranger like that . sharon : because they might judge you ? lily : well , who would n't ? you know ? i killed ... anyway . i know that you 've been studying psychology . sharon : you -- you want a recommendation ? lily : i do n't want to talk about this , but i know i need to . so , i could really just use a friend right now . [ cellphone rings ] ashley : hey . i 'm sorry i have n't reached out . i 've been meaning to call you . neil : oh , no . that 's to be expected . we 're both busy . listen , i - i was hoping that you might be able to join me for some dinner tonight . ashley : i do n't really know my schedule , and i 'm just about to walk into a meeting , so ... neil : ah , okay . we 'll talk later . ashley : sounds good . bye . jack : hey . ashley : [ clapping ] good news ? jack : i 'm afraid not . my meeting with nick did not go as planned . he refused to cancel jabot 's leases . ashley : i thought you said it was handled , and it was n't an issue . jack : i did n't think it would be an issue . no , i made a very strong case . he thought i was pushing my own agenda , and he did n't appreciate it . ashley : ca n't you change his mind ? jack : no , he 'd only resent that . no , he made it very clear who 's the boss . i 'm telling you , it is so frustrating not to be in a position to make what i need to happen happen . ashley : yeah , tell me about it . jack : oh , ash , after everything i put you through ... i owe you . i 'll help you come up with another plan , okay ? ashley : no . i do n't want to jeopardize your work relationship with nick . so i 'll find another way to hobble billy from within the company . jack : well , i 'm sure you 'll come up with something . if there 's anything i can do , just ask . ashley : i 'll hold you to that . bye . jack : hey , hey . um ... i never thought i 'd say this , but one good thing has come from billy 's reign as ceo -- you and i are finally on the same side again . `` the young and the restless `` will continue . lily : i could get 20 years . and then i think , how do i survive that ? you know ? what is my family gon na go through ? the twins would be in their 30 's by the time i got out . sharon : and the nightmares ? lily : how do you know ? sharon : oh , like i said , i 've been there . lily : when i 'm awake , all i can think about is how things would be different if i had n't run that red light . sharon : and when you 're asleep ? lily : oh , my god . it 's awful . i ca n't tell cane . i do n't want him imagining those things . sharon : i do n't know if it 'll help to tell me , but it might . lily : [ sighs ] there 's just a lot about the accident that i do n't remember . and i 'm wondering if that 's why i 'm imagining these things that did n't happen in my dreams . where it 's not just hilary that 's hurt . sometimes my whole family is there . bleeding and dying . and it 's cane . my kids . my dad . sharon : and devon ? lily : i killed his wife and baby . and he wo n't forgive me . so that 's like i killed him , too . [ inhales , exhales loudly ] i know you said that i 'm strong . sharon : you are . lily : then how do i do this ? how do i go on with my life knowing that i murdered them ? sharon : it was an accident . lily : it does n't make hilary and the baby any less dead . and no amount of penance or good deeds will ever , ever make up for that . sharon : [ sighs ] look . the first thing that you need to do is stop lying to yourself . you are not a murderer . you made a mistake that had tragic consequences . and your penance is that this is something that you will always take with you . lily : what about my brother ? sharon : whether or not devon finds a way to forgive you , you have to forgive yourself . lily : let myself off the hook . sharon : would you prefer to drag your family through this guilt and regret and ... to the point that they do n't have any happiness , any hope , any life ? have your nightmares become a reality ? lily : no . god , no . no . sharon : okay . well , then , the best thing that you can do to give your kids and cane and -- and your dad and devon the best that you have to offer is to forgive yourself . it 's the way to move on , and it 's where you 're gon na find the strength to be there for them . no matter what happens . lily : [ snorts ] the way you talk , you make it sound like it 's possible . sharon : i have to believe that it is . jack : may i join you ? neil : of course , jack . sit down . jack : been thinking about you a lot lately . wondering how things are going with your family . neil : it 's a rough time . you know , devon is still blaming lily for hilary 's death . jack : where do things stand for lily legally right now ? her sentencing hearing is coming up . we are praying for the best . but michael is warning us that we 've got to prepare for the worst . jack : [ sighs ] oh , god . i 'm so sorry . neil : but i am staying positive . i 'm staying strong for the family . and i 'm trying to find a way to heal the rift between devon and lily . jack : look , maybe soon devon will shake off this anger and this pain and slide into something that comes more naturally -- loving his sister . neil : well , here 's to hoping you 're right . jack : and what about yourself ? you taking care of yourself ? you getting out ? escaping from everything that 's weighing on you ? neil : yeah . yeah , i 've managed a little . ashley 's been a good friend to me . we 've been spending some time together . jack : i did n't know that . ashley did n't mention it . but , then , she and i have our own wounds to heal . neil : she seems to have a lot on her plate recently . jack : are you wondering if she 's going to have more time for you in the near future ? neil : just making conversation . jack : from all i know , there 's no other man in her life right now . in case you 're wondering . ashley : i thought it was better for us to meet here , away from the office . kyle : i was curious when i got your text . you seem to have accomplished everything you wanted without any assistance from me . ashley : no . there 's been a hitch . please sit . okay , so , jack was n't able to get the job done . kyle : what , he could n't get nick to terminate the leases ? ashley : no . he led me to believe that it was a simple matter , but apparently it wasn't . so i have no other resort . i have to go to extreme measures to make sure that billy does n't continue to run jabot into the ground . kyle : [ sighs ] ashley : i need your help . and your discretion . kyle : absolutely . i know i can make this happen for us . in fact , i already stumbled on something that might help . ashley : what ? kyle : i picked up on some drama in billy 's personal life . we can use it to our advantage . ashley : i 'm not comfortable with that . kyle : look , if you do n't want my input , then i get -- ashley : it 's not about that , kyle . i 'm interested in anything you have to say . i have an idea , and i think it might work . but if it does n't , we 'll go back to your idea as a last - ditch effort , okay ? kyle : fill me in . ashley : you ca n't tell anybody . kyle : i won't . ashley : you ca n't tell your father . certainly not summer . i 'm taking a very big risk bringing you in on this . kyle : i wo n't betray your trust . ashley : okay . we have learned the hard way that billy ca n't be reigned in . he will not listen to logic . and we do n't have the power to stop him from gambling away jabot 's assets and prestige . i 'm not comfortable with this . but he leave me no other option . lily : thanks for letting me unload . it really made a difference . sharon : for me , too . and we can do this again whenever you want . lily : well , until i 'm locked up . sharon : or not . lily : thank you . bye . sharon : bye . jack : so , if , hypothetically , you were hoping to rekindle a flame with ashley , uh , hypothetically , i would think that was great . neil : mm . i 'm not looking for an endorsement . jack : oh , no , no . we 're just shooting the breeze . hey , look . this is none of my business . but i hope things do work out for the two of you . i think ... i think you could be really good for each other . especially right now . neil : i appreciate the encouragement . i do . and as far as the rest , uh ... we shall see . got to go . jack : take care . neil : yeah . you too . ashley : i think we have to go back to my original plan . which is giving billy enough rope to hang himself while we carefully document every expensive and irresponsible decision that he makes . hopefully we 'll have enough ammunition to take to the board , and then we can seek a non - confidence motion . kyle : how do i fit in ? ashley : well , when the opportunity presents itself -- and i 'm sure it will -- i want you to encourage billy 's reckless behavior . kyle : [ chuckles ] so easy . ashley : yeah , kyle , you know , do n't underestimate him . he knows that we 're gunning for him . he 's gon na have his guard up . kyle : so , how are you thinking of me being rewarded for my loyalty in all this ? ashley : i 've already told you . you 'll be looked after . kyle : what about the board members billy has on his side ? ashley : with the work that i 'll be doing behind the scenes , hopefully , when the time comes , phyllis will be the only one that 's left that 's blindly loyal to billy . what ? kyle : i 'd love to see this play out the way you 've envisioned it , but we have n't dealt with our biggest obstacle yet . what 's the point of a no- confidence vote if the blood - abbott clause means billy will remain ceo no matter what ? you said so yourself -- he 's bulletproof . ashley : yeah . but there 's another blood abbott . kyle : aunt traci . but we agreed she 's a non - starter . she has zero business experience , and wants nothing to do with running jabot . ashley : i think she 's gon na be more open to the suggestion when she finds out the damage that billy 's done to the company . and then we can convince her to take the job on an interim basis . just long enough to go to the board , get rid of the blood - abbott clause , and then she resigns . kyle : then you can take the reins . that 's where you 're going with this . you want to take over . ashley : it 's up to the board to appoint the ceo . i mean , whether it 's me or somebody else . without that clause , at least it gives the board freedom to appoint whoever is the most qualified for the position . kyle : i had no idea you were capable of being so machiavellian . ashley : i 'm protecting jabot . just like i 've always done . it 's interesting , though . when you find yourself fighting for something that you believe is right ... you do things you never imagined you could do . summer : oh ! since i proved you wrong again , drinks are on me . oh , excuse me . two coffees , please . kyle : what was i wrong about ? summer : my mom bought my story about my weekend yoga retreat in madison . kyle : for now . summer : just admit it . i outmaneuvered you . plus , my mom had some interesting news . kyle : about billy ? summer : he wants to move out of my apartment . kyle : then why are you celebrating ? billy clearly wants nothing to do with you . summer : ok , do n't be so dense . he clearly wants me too much , and he ca n't stand being constantly tempted . kyle : i do n't have time to waste on your fantasies . i have important matters to focus on . summer : such as ? kyle : all i can say is , i have big , new plans for the future . summer : oh . kyle : what 's that supposed to mean ? summer : nothing . you just always have `` big plans `` for yourself , they just ... never work out . kyle : excuse me ? summer : [ laughs ] do n't get all sensitive and hurt . it 's not an insult . it 's just ... the truth . kyle : not even close . summer : kyle , here 's the difference between you and me -- i will do whatever it takes to get what i want . to hell with the consequences . you 're willing to break the rules , but only so far . kyle : soon enough , you 'll realize just how far i 'm willing to go . neil : hi . ashley . ashley : oh ! hi . neil : hi . i hope you do n't mind me dropping in . i never heard from you about dinner tonight , so i figured i 'd just come by and see what 's going on . ashley : yeah . i 'm so sorry i did n't get back to you . i 've been crazy busy . i just had meeting after meeting -- neil : oh , come on . do n't apologize . i know how it goes . so , what do you say ? want to join me for some dinner ? come on -- ashley : i can't . neil : no , you ca n't , can you ? or are you just trying to break it gently to me that you 're not interested in picking up where we left off the other night , maybe ? ashley : first of all , i had the best time with you . i really did . neil : i had the best time with you . ashley : i never expected that to happen . neil : it 's crazy . me either . but i 'm -- i 'm glad it did . ashley : yeah . i just have so much happening in my life right now ... neil : i get it . i do , too . i -- i know you have big aspirations here at jabot . and if there 's one thing that i 've learned in life , which i 'm sure you 've learned , too , that if you want something badly enough in life , you make the time for it . so why do n't we clear up the confusion . why do n't you tell me what you want us to be . you want us to be friends or something more or -- [ chuckles ] or what ? ashley : i would n't mind finding out where this could lead . however , i ca n't really commit to anything more than that because there 's so much happening here , and a lot of shifting sand . neil : yeah , no , i get it . it 's -- you 're -- yeah . that 's a coincidence , because i 'm not ready for a commitment either right now . ashley : oh . okay . neil : mm - hmm . ashley : so , just exactly what are your expectations , sir ? neil : i was kind of thinking maybe we could get together again and go from there . you know , have a good time , see where that leads . how does that sound ? ashley : kind of perfect . [ laughs ] neil : [ laughs ] nick : hey . what 's on your mind ? sharon : lily . she 's feeling guilty about the accident . so i tried my best to console and help her . nick : brought up some bad memories for you ? sharon : how 'd you know ? nick : because i know how kind and empathetic you are . sharon : [ sighs ] it just got me thinking about , you know , the terrible things i 've done , and all the people i 've hurt , and just how incredibly hard it is to make amends and move on . nick : yeah , we 've all done things we regret . but when that happens , you know , there 's no going back . you have to move forward and strive to do better . we taught each other that . sharon : sometimes i forget how lucky i am to be marrying you . again . nick : i 'm the lucky one . phyllis : i am in pursuit of peace and fresh air . so if you know what 's good for you , you will leave me alone . kyle : i get that you 're still angry because i told summer about your fling with nick . but i 'm here to make it up to you . phyllis : yeah , well , that 's impossible . kyle : you 'll want to hear this . have you thought about attending the trade show in philadelphia ? phyllis : lauren is representing fenmore 's . billy is representing jabot . why would anyone else need to go ? kyle : excellent question . now , why would summer buy her own ticket to philadelphia after lauren told her to stay home ? phyllis : she wouldn't . kyle : summer did n't mention any ... weekend plans ? phyllis : a yoga retreat . she lied ? why ? kyle : why do you think ? summer plans to show up at billy 's hotel room tonight to ... welcome him to philly .Summarize.[/INST]lily opens up to sharon about her fears of going to jail ad the guilt she feels about the accident and sharon tells her that she wo n't be able to move ahead until she forgives herself . jack tells ashley that nick decided he wo n't cancel the leases for the new jabot storesso ashley must go back to her original plan give billy enough rope to hang himself and then call for a no confidence vote so that traci can be ceo long enough to get rid of the blood abbot clause . neil amd ashley decide to have a fun casual relationship and see where it goes in the future . summe lies to her mother and gets a day off to go on a yoga retreat but later kyle tells phyllis that summer bought a ticket to philedelphia to be there to welcome billy to the trade show .</s>

[ echoing ] to kill her ... nathan : lomax has been in office for two years . maxie : and now two more , unfortunately . nathan : but that 's my point , though . if she was unsatisfied with anna at any point , she could have fired her . why last night ? maxie : because , unlike their feelings about the mayor , people in this town actually like anna . lomax figured she would n't win if she ousted anna . nathan : it 's like a bad dream . i mean , lomax gets re - elected , and then she fires anna , and replaces her with some hot - shot outsider who -- big surprise -- has a huge grudge on her . i swear , since the day that sloane has got here , he has been gunning for anna . maxie : well , it looks like he hit his mark . anna : what does it look like i 'm doing , huh ? i 'm vacating my office . your office . sloane : then why are you still in it ? anna : good god ! would it be too much to ask for me to just have a little bit of time to put my things together ? of course it would be . what am i saying ? sloane : i just thought you might want to get in to do it a little earlier , but maybe you wanted us to cross paths ... so that you could congratulate me . [ scoffs ] sloane : anna , cut me a break here . i had no idea lomax was gon na fire you , let alone give me your job . anna : oh , do n't give me that load of crap . nikolas : these are private stock certificates . they work the same way as bearer bonds -- whoever holds them owns them . helena : which makes them ours . nikolas : well , tracy and alice turned these over to jerry jacks as ransom for luke spencer . jerry , of course , uh ... in turn , double - crossed them , which is not a surprise . what is surprising is how you came into possession of his ill- gotten stock . helena : jerry jacks is a good friend of mine . nikolas : [ chuckles ] which would explain why he has made himself comfortable on cassadine island from time to time . what do you plan on doing with these ? helena : those shares , my darling , are the first step to taking over elq . carly : so , did you get my text i sent you , wishing you a happy new year ? michael : no , i changed my number . carly : why ? why would you ... ? you did n't want me to be able to reach you . i know you 're upset . i know you 're so hurt , but it 's been a while , and ... just wondering , you know , m - may -- maybe we could talk . michael : no , you misunderstood . i 'm not here to see you . i have a business meeting . my associate chose the location . carly : regardless , it 's really wonderful to see you . rosalie : michael . michael : rosalie , hey . rosalie : hi . is your mom coming back ? i wanted to ask her about the job she posted online . michael : job -- uh ... trust me , you do n't want to work here . rosalie : i take it you 're still upset with her ? michael : `` still `` -- why does everybody keep saying `` still , `` like i 'm gon na get over it somehow ? carly 's out of my life , and she always will be . what ? rosalie : no , nothing . it 's just , if you 're trying to avoid your mother , what are you doing here ? michael : i have a business meeting . rosalie : oh . hence the suit . you look very nice . michael : thank you . so , what 's the position that carly posted about ? rosalie : reservation clerk . yeah , it requires some fancy computer skills , which , shockingly , i actually have . [ chuckles ] and i desperately need the money . michael : so come work for me . [ knock on door ] carly : jake , it 's carly . uh , are you awake ? i - i really need to talk to you . [ keys rattling ] patrick : thank you , angie . and please tell dr. collins that i appreciate him letting me use his computer while mine 's down . angie : he wo n't be in today , so take your time . patrick : okay . thank you . angie : just lock up when you leave ? patrick : i will . thanks . sam : hi . sam : what are you doing here ? patrick : i came to use dr. collins ' computer . what are you doing here ? sam : you know , actually , it 's a pretty funny story . patrick : yeah , i 'm sure it is . sam : you 're not gon na believe it . patrick : no , i wo n't , not unless you tell me that you picked the lock to get in here , and then you hacked into his computer to check his patient files . sam : wow . you 've become a really good pi . patrick : and you used the amsterdam key chain i gave you ? i mean , come on . is this not sacred to you ? sam : are you mad at me ? patrick : no . i 'm not mad , but i am curious . whose file are you so eager to see that you broke i do n't know how many laws to try and do so ? [ knock on door ] carly : jake , are you in there ? jason : yeah . i 'm here . just a minute . okay . i 'll be right there . morning . hi . carly : hi . this is so unfair . i ca n't just barge in here whenever i -- jason : it 's your hotel . carly : no , i 'm taking advantage , and i 'm gon na go . jason : carly , it 's fine . carly , please come in . please come in . what 's wrong ? carly : it 's michael . it 's michael . jason : okay , okay , okay . michael : you need a job ? i 'll give you one , especially if it spares you from working here . rosalie : oh . that 's , uh , really nice of you , michael , but ... thank you . ... i do n't know anything about stocks or corporations or any of that . michael : no , no , no , not -- not at elq . i 'm talking about at my -- the clinic i 'm opening up in my father 's name . i told you about it . rosalie : oh . michael : yeah . i mean , we 're not even close to being up and running . had a few setbacks for the location , but i finally found one . rosalie : michael -- michael : as soon as i close the deal on the property , i 'm gon na fast - track construction . i can put you on retainer until we 're in business . that is , if you want to be a nurse there , of course . so ... what do you think ? rosalie : um ... i -- i think ... no . nikolas : you want to take over elq now , huh ? why ? it 's not as if you need the money . helena : well , i have my reasons , not the least of which is pure satisfaction . [ chuckles ] the faces on that irksome family when their company is pried away ... nikolas : you 're not prying anything with only 15 1/2 % . you do realize that , do n't you ? helena : oh , i am aware that i need a majority , yes . nikolas : well , good luck with that . because the quartermaines hang on to their shares with white knuckles . helena : and it 's up to you to loosen their grip . anna : mayor lomax 's approval ratings were -- they were in the toilet . sloane : well ... anna : and yet somehow , she managed to get re - elected . sloane : maybe she ran a solid campaign . anna : oh , no . i do n't know . maybe you two teamed up to make sure that she would win . sloane : i hardly know the woman . anna : right . so that was all a coincidence , was it ? then you happened to be at the courthouse last night so that she was able to appoint you police commissioner herself ? sloane : well , i did n't just stroll in off the street . i was at the courthouse investigating the mission ballot box in my capacity as a federal agent . anna : well , that 's an excellent point . how does that work , exactly ? sloane : how does what work ? anna : well , the fact that you 're employed by the united states government -- at least , you were until last night . sloane : and ? anna : and that comes with a great deal of responsibility . i mean , i would think that they would need a little advance notice when you 're going to have a career change . i ca n't imagine that they were all that pleased when you suddenly upped and quit . sloane : well , what transpires between me and my employer is none of your concern . anna : oh , just admit it , kyle . you did n't suddenly get my job . you were guaranteed it . you knew this was coming . maxie : what is this guy 's problem , anyway ? nathan : who , sloane ? anna used to be an interagency liaison . for a while , she was with justice . she used to train their agents . she mentored sloane . guy was on a fast track to a promotion until anna called him out on some breach of ethics ... maxie : let me guess -- he did n't get the promotion . nathan : well , anna said the guy was a solid agent but that he had a propensity for cutting corners . i think her hope at the time was that if she held him back , it 'd benefit him in the long run . sloane ... does n't seem to agree . maxie : so this is about revenge . nathan : looks that way . maxie : and somehow lomax is involved ? nathan : it seems random to me that she would just hire some -- some special agent that she just met to be her new police commissioner . maxie : yeah . a federal agent who is also a known rule - breaker and ethics violator . this is outrageous and probably illegal -- nathan : max , that might be a little -- maxie : no , no , i 'm not scared to say it . lomax 's re - election campaign was rigged . michael : you 're turning me down ? rosalie : about the job offer . michael : i thought you needed the money . rosalie : i do , but -- michael : is this because we slept together ? look , rosalie , i care about you . rosalie : you do ? michael : yes , that night was important to me . i was going through a hard time , and you were there , and i ... i 'm -- i 'm very grateful . but it does n't have to mean anything , going forward -- if you -- you know , if you do n't want it to . what i 'm trying to say is , do n't let what happened between us mess with an opportunity here . we can be as little or as much to each other as you want . it 's completely up to you . rosalie : michael ... michael : i just made everything more awkward , did n't i ? rosalie : no . no , not at all . that night was important to me , too . and that 's not the reason that i ca n't join your nursing staff . michael : then what is ? rosalie : i 'm not really a nurse . nikolas : how am i supposed to bleed shares of elq from the quartermaines ? helena : well , you once had a dalliance with ned ashton 's daughter . you know , the brunette with that dreadful name -- brook lynn ? she was undoubtedly disappointed when you broke things off . nikolas : so what ? helena : rekindling that romance should be child 's play . she 'll be begging you to take her shares . another 6 1/2 % . nikolas : which brings you up to only 22 % . helena : us , with minimal effort . oh , nikolas , think of the possibilities ! elq with you at the helm will be the richest , most powerful conglomerate in the world . now , why the hesitation ? well , you did n't seem to mind when you resorted to underhanded methods when you conspired with a federal agent to fix the mayoral election . sloane : well , since i 'm here , put me to work . garbage or shredder ? anna : you made a previous arrangement with lomax , did n't you ? yeah ? that 's right ? sloane : that 's ridiculous . anna : she promised you my job , maybe weeks ago . sloane : see , now you 've gone from irrational to paranoid . this has n't been some master plan , anna . anna : no ? really ? sloane : how could lomax promise me a job ? she did n't know she was gon na be re- elected . anna : unless she did . nathan : we 're both close to him , not to mention your mom . i mean , what if -- what if i 'm just jumping to conclusions 'cause i do n't want to work for sloane ? maxie : and i 'm hoping there 's a conspiracy because i ca n't accept my mom lost fair and square ? no . something does not seem right about this . nathan : and i 'll look into it , all right ? i promise . maxie : okay . nathan : you know what else seems off here ? you and me in bed , talking about politics . maxie : that is wrong , is n't it ? nathan : it is the wrongest . maxie : that 's not a word . nathan : that 's okay . sam : i came in to dr. collins ' office to go through his notes on his session with jake doe . and before you get all judgey on me ... patrick : judgey ? when am i judgey ? sam : ... i ran into jake and carly here yesterday . patrick : in the office ? sam : no , not here in the office . in the hospital . and carly slipped up , and she happened to mention that jake had some sort of a memory about helping faison escape . patrick : an actual memory ? sam : kind of . it was more fragmented . jake was n't sure if it was real or not . patrick : so he booked an appointment with dr. collins . sam : i have a feeling that carly insisted on it . patrick : okay . so how did it go ? 'cause i 'm gon na assume that you were to find out . sam : do not make me sound like a stalker . patrick : do n't act like one . go on . the session ? sam : oh . that . yeah . it went really great . so , apparently , dr. collins told jake that he was never at the police station and ... that the false memory was caused by the power of suggestion . f.y.i . , ' caused by me . patrick : and you do n't believe it . sam : no . patrick : so you came in here , snooping around , to try and find out what really happened ? sam : yes . patrick : okay . sam : what do you think ? patrick : about what ? sam : well , are you gon na help me ? adventure buddy ? come on . carly : sorry about that . jason : it 's okay , it 's okay . is michael all right ? is he hurt ? carly : um , he 's fine . [ chuckles ] he 's fine . he , um ... came by the restaurant this morning , and i thought he was there to see me . jason : he was n't ? carly : no . he was cold and distant , and , um ... he even changed his cell phone number . jason : does n't necessarily mean he did that because of you . carly : he does n't want me to be able to reach him . jason : did he say that ? carly : he did n't deny it . jason : i 'm sorry , carly . i am . i just ... just stay a minute . do n't go anywhere , okay ? let me get ready . carly : of course . i 'm sorry . jason : i 'm sorry . carly : [ breathes deeply ] oh , god . nikolas : you think i had something to do with that election ? helena : well , apparently you thought it would be to your advantage to control both the mayor 's office and the police department . nikolas : do n't tell me you 're disappointed . helena : oh , nikolas , on the contrary . i 've been waiting years for you to exert your authority . but i - i am curious . you were so determined to cling to those dreary morals and ethics . now , what spurred the change of heart ? nikolas : life . love . how those two things will never coexist as long as emily is gone . helena : oh , enough with that insipid quartermaine girl . nikolas : do -- do not speak of her that way . she was everything to me . my one shot at happiness . not that i did n't try to move on . foolishly , as it turns out . helena : well , no woman is worthy of you . nikolas : grandmother , it 's -- it 's not them . it 's me . sloane : i 'd be careful tossing around accusations like that . anna : okay . why ? what are you gon na do ? you gon na fire me ? i believe this election was rigged . and as you so eagerly point out , you were chosen to oversee the missing ballot box investigation . so , is that a coincidence ? i think not . sloane : yeah , and -- and yet it was your detectives that retrieved it from spoon island . i mean , i was nowhere near -- anna : that does n't stop you from fixing it . sloane : after that cassadine kid found the box , detectives west and falconeri went out there . detective west took it to the courthouse and handed it personally to d.a . baldwin in front of both candidates . and yet , you insist that lomax and i somehow tampered with the ballots . but how could we have possibly done that ? helena : you were made for so much more . nikolas : but it does n't work that way , not for me . all of my attempts just absolutely blew up in my face . britt , even elizabeth . i was never gon na find love with them . all i was doing was torturing myself searching for something that simply did not exist , making a fool of myself in the process . but you know what ? i am -- i am sick of trying to be good . suppressing everything that comes natural to me . and i 'm done with it . helena : yes . nikolas : all that belongs to emily now . it 's time to be a cassadine now . helena : nikolas , you chose the perfect moment to embrace your true self . using a child 's innocent mistake to corrupt an election and then turning it to your advantage ? oh , my darling , that is a cassadine move . well done . patrick : want me to give you some advice ? sam : yes , please . patrick : let it go . sam : let it go ? are you kidding me ? this person held me at gunpoint . patrick : you do n't know that for sure . sam : yes , i do . patrick : and even if it is him , then we should let the police handle this . sam : the way they handled everything else , the way they handled the person that ran you off the road ? the cops are useless . patrick : you really believe that ? sam : [ scoffs ] patrick : are do you just want to find faison 's gunman so bad that you 're willing to do anything , including possibly going after the wrong man ? jason : hey ! sorry about that . carly : oh , i 'm sorry . i was just trying to push it -- jason : it 's okay . cleanliness is not one of my virtues . carly : [ chuckles ] we have that in common . jason : so , tell me about michael . carly : i was so happy when i saw him . i was . i was so happy . i thought , `` this is it , `` you know . enough time has passed , and he knows that i 'm not with sonny , and ... maybe he was ready . jason : but he was n't . carly : no , he was just as closed off as he 's ever been . jason : did you get in a fight ? carly : no . he did n't even raise his voice . he treated me like i was nothing . [ sniffles ] i just ca n't believe that he 's -- that he 's acting like this . i mean , i know that he 's extremely hurt . i know that he is . and -- and i know that he shut down before to protect himself . but he 's never done that because of me , you know . [ sighs ] jason : do you have faith in your son ? because michael struck me as a very strong man . and speaking from personal experience , it 's not easy to bounce back from a tbi , but he managed to do it . carly : he 's the strongest person i know . jason : well , then trust that he 's gon na get through this . it 's gon na be messy . it 's gon na take some time . but he 'll do it . carly : i 'll try . i just miss my son . you know , i just really miss my kid . [ sighs , sniffles ] jason : i mean , i do n't know . if you think it 'll help , i can talk to him . michael : you 're not a nurse ? rosalie : no . michael : so , what ? you just played one with nina ? rosalie : [ chuckles ] you do n't think i 'm awful for lying about it ? michael : actually , i 'm kind of embarrassed i did n't see it sooner , considering nina never even needed a wheelchair . rosalie : yep . it was all part of the plan to trick dr. clay . michael : so , why -- why did you agree to it ? rosalie : the money , which was generous , and because nina did n't really give me a choice . michael : right , the , uh , the blackmail . look , i , um , i have a lot of resources . okay , maybe i can make whatever nina 's holding over you go away . you just have to tell me what it is . nathan : i got to go to work . maxie : nope . nathan : i ca n't be late on sloane 's first day . maxie : yeah , that would be a really bad idea . i should probably go check on my mom , see how she 's doing after everything that happened . nathan : give her my best ? maxie : i will . nathan : maybe while you 're there , you could pack up some of your stuff and move it home . maxie : as in ... here ? i , um , had n't really thought about that . nathan : i mean , you 've seen staying with your parents for months now . maxie : yeah . ever since our , uh , crichton - clark adventure . nathan : yeah , and it was great that you let me move back in here , but the apartment 's still yours . and now that we 're together ... maxie : where would i put my things ? nathan : what do you mean ? maxie : well , like , your room or my room ? nathan : well , i was thinking my room . you know , you 'll need a room for when georgie comes to visit . maxie : yeah . i will . nathan : but ? maxie : [ chuckles ] i love the idea . i do . it 's just ... nathan : i mean , we 've been spending every day together since new year 's eve . it 's not like anything would change . maxie : nathan , we would be living together . nathan : the last thing i want to do is pressure you , okay ? so if you 're not ready ... maxie : [ clears throat ] if it were up to my heart , i would want to be handcuffed to you for eternity . but my head is telling me to take things slow , and i want to listen to it . nathan : okay . maxie : i just -- i do n't want to mess up a good thing . have i told you how highly skilled i am at that ? nathan : yes , you have . maxie : i really need this to work , okay ? just , i do n't want anything to happen to us . nathan : neither do i . maxie : so ... [ chuckles ] my answer for you is ... no , i do n't think we should move in together . nathan : okay . so , um , what do we do about our current arrangement ? maxie : you 're gon na have to move out . anna : i do n't know how you did it , but you did . sloane : [ chuckles ] anna : you somehow managed to turn the results in lomax 's favor . sloane : and how did we make lomax win ? magic ? i mean , i 'm powerful , but i 'm not that powerful . anna : you 're a liar , kyle . you 're a liar . and that is not something i taught my protégés . sloane : no , you taught us about honor and ethics and following the letter and the spirit of the law , even if it would be more expedient to ignore it . but in the end , you could n't practice what you preach , and that 's what this is really about . your little stunt with faison came back to bite you , and you lost your job ! and these accusations of election tampering are nothing but sour grapes . you 'll blame anyone as long as it 's not anna devane . anna : who 's got you in their pocket ? hmm ? for whom did you corrupt yourself ? nikolas : agent sloane approached me the other day . he knew that spencer had found the ballot box but was willing to look the other way . helena : for a price ? nikolas : yes , all would be swept under the rug if i was willing to help him with his plan . helena : so you did . well , i see that our chat before christmas had the desired effect . oh , it feels good to take the power back , does n't it ? from trifling women like elizabeth and britt . but , nikolas , why stop there ? what better way to prove your true worth than by seizing control of elq ? michael : tell me what the secret is . i 'll fix it . rosalie : [ sighs ] i 'm tempted , but , uh , i do n't want to drag you into my mess . michael : you sure ? rosalie : yes . thank you , though . um , and thank you for the job offer . [ chuckles ] guess i 'll just keep pounding the pavement . michael : right , um ... look , what i said before about the metro court , if you think this job fits you ... [ cell phone rings ] michael : ... then go for it . rosalie : really ? michael : yeah . finally . it 's my assistant with the information i need for my meeting . just give me one second ? rosalie : of course . michael : hey . carly : you would talk to michael for me ? jason : yeah . i 'm not making any promises , but when i talked to him before , he seemed pretty willing to listen . i could at least see if i can get him to come around . carly : thank you . i mean , really , that is so sweet for you to even think about it , let alone to actually go through with it . but i do n't think that 's a really good idea . jason : you think it would backfire ? carly : that conversation you had with michael , it sounds like it was really good for you both . i do n't want to mess with that . especially when you do n't have a chance in hell of succeeding . jason : [ chuckles ] i see . carly : i do n't want michael to end up hating you the way he hates me . michael : okay . rosalie : what happened ? michael : my assistant just quit . rosalie : why ? michael : she and her boyfriend eloped in vegas last night . they won the jackpot or some crap . i do n't know . she 's not coming back . rosalie : that 's crazy . michael : this could n't have happened at a worse time . we have so much going on right now . rosalie : do n't worry . i 'm sure you 'll find somebody to replace her . michael : how about you ? jason : well , if you can think of anything else i can do for you , i 'd love to . i 'd love to return the favor . carly : which one ? jason : ha ha . touché . carly : [ laughing ] i 'm just kidding . jason : no , no , no . you should n't be . i mean , a room , a job , free food on occasion . you even got sam off my back . thank you . carly : i hope so . i mean , now that you 've met with kevin collins , we know for sure it was n't you who grabbed her . nikolas : know that there are lines i will not cross , including hurting my family , even those you consider not to be true cassadines . sam : i do n't know what i 'm doing anymore . patrick : come on . it 's okay . sam : no , it is not okay . what if it were n't you who found me in here ? patrick : then i would be bailing you out of the police station . sam : i questioned nikolas . i questioned obrecht . i asked you to go against your principles . patrick : yeah , about that . uh , hospital policy says that i am gon na have to turn you in now . sam : are you ? 'cause i 'm really sorry . patrick : do n't be sorry . i just want my sammy back , the one who 's not distracted all the time . sam : [ chuckles ] the one who pays more attention to you ? patrick : is that so wrong ? sam : no . i kind of miss her , too . patrick : hmm . sam : i was hoping that maybe you could coax her out . patrick : oh , i 'm -- i 'm up for any and all suggestions . sam : [ chuckles ] patrick : little bit more than that , i think . sam : little more ? patrick : yeah . okay ? sam : [ sighs ] thank you . patrick : welcome back , sammy . sam : [ chuckles ] helena : do n't worry about sam . i wo n't lay a finger on her . no , i 'd much rather focus on our new alliance , assuming we have one . are you ready to become the man i know you can be ? nikolas : yes , i am . maxie : do n't get me wrong . i still want to be with you all the time . but i also want that anticipation stuff , you know , like you ask me out and i get to say yes and then i go home to get ready and you go home to get ready . the key in this scenario is we do not share a bathroom , so that when i open the door looking fabulous , you think it happened by magic . nathan : it 's okay . i understand . maxie : i just want to take our time with this , like , beginning stage . nathan : maxie , it 's all right . maxie : you 're not disappointed ? nathan : that you want to take your time and do this right ? no . no , i 'm grateful . i am a little surprised , though , i got to say . this is , uh , uncharacteristically level - headed of you . maxie : thanks . nathan : [ chuckles ] maxie : but that 's how important you are to me . nathan : [ speaks french ] maxie : what was that ? nathan : `` back at you . `` all right , well , uh , i 'll pack up my things , and i 'll be out of here before you know it . maxie : i 'll miss you . nathan : i 'll miss you , too . maxie : you have to promise to ask me out a lot , okay ? nathan : and you have to promise to say yes . maxie : yes . sloane : well , this is a nice chair . back support . anna : do n't get too comfortable , 'cause i got all the time in the world to find out how you rigged that election , how you got my job , and who else is in this with you . [ door opens ] [ door closes ] nikolas : i can take care of brook lynn , but her shares wo n't be enough . how do you intend to procure the majority ? helena : i have a secret weapon . rosalie : you want me to be your new assistant ? michael : yeah , why not ? i mean , you said you 're good with computers , right ? and i 'm assuming you can answer a phone . rosalie : yeah , but ... michael : what ? rosalie : how can you hire me knowing what you know ? nikolas : be more specific . what kind of secret weapon ? helena : i have arranged for an ally to be on the inside at elq . michael : you have your secrets . everybody does . playing nurse to a fake invalid is hardly the worst i 've heard . rosalie : and what about the thing hanging over my head ? that does n't bother you ? helena : michael is hiring a new assistant as we speak . but she 'll really be working for us . michael : if it was brought to light , could it cause trouble for elq ? rosalie : no , no , nothing i 've done would be an issue for you or your company . michael : okay , then i have only one thing to say . welcome aboard , rosalie . carly : so , sam has n't bothered you since your session with dr. collins ? jason : thanks for pushing me to go , by the way . i really did n't like the idea of getting help from a shrink , but , uh , talking to him really took a load off of my mind . carly : well , i 'm glad . jason : and if you change yours about the michael thing , i 'm -- carly : i know who to call . jason : [ chuckles ] you okay ? carly : i 'm better . i 'll see you soon ? jason : yeah , count on it . carly : thank you . jason : yeah , of course . carly : thank you . okay . jason : [ clears throat ] see you later . carly : bye . jason : bye . helena : so we 're clear on what you 're going to say to samantha ? jason : yes . helena : still , i ca n't be sure that she wo n't drop her accusations , which is why i need you [ echoing ] to kill her ... sam : so , why do n't we pick up from where we left off on new year 's eve ? patrick : new year 's eve ? i do n't remember new year 's eve . i 'm a little -- little cloudy . tell me again what happened ? sam : i do n't think you 're a little cloudy . and yes , i am still sure . patrick : well , in that case , are you free tonight ? sam : hmm . yes . and guess what ? patrick : hmm ? sam : so is my place . patrick : no molly , no alexis , no danny ? sam : no , molly 's in manhattan with her father , my mom 's working on a case , and danny 's at a sleepover with monica . patrick : [ whistles ] sam : mm - hmm . patrick : does n't sound like luck . that sounds like fate . and the timing is perfect . sam : and tonight will be , too . jason : i 'll get her out of the way tonight . [ next_on ] jordan : ( to anna ) with you out , where does that leave me ? sloane : ( to nathan and dante ) are you going to have a problem reporting to me ? rosalie : ( to michael ) thank you for taking a chance on me . helena : ( on phone , with nikolas near by ) get michael out of there . now . fluke : ( yelling at johnny ) how the hell did that happen ? sonny : ( to shawn ) gather the troops . we 're going to war .

<s>[INST] maxie : i still can not believe this . my mom had to wait all that time just to find out that she lost . i thought mac and my mom would , for sure , be living in the mayor 's mansion , and now ... nathan : i know . felicia deserved to win . maxie : thank you for saying that . nathan : i believe it . this lomax is an idiot , obviously , since the first thing she does after getting re - elected is fire my boss . sloane : what are you doing in my office ? helena : good morning , my darling ! nikolas : is it ? helena : ooh . you do n't agree . nikolas : depends . we need to talk about elq . michael : bryanne , where are you ? i need an assistant who 's on time . just e - mail me the spreadsheets when you get in . carly : michael ? are you here to see me ? sam : ha ! thank you , spinelli . okay . jake ... doe . see what you were really doing in here yesterday . helena : so we 're clear on what you 're going to say to samantha . jason : yes . helena : still , i ca n't be sure that she will drop her accusations , which is why i need you to kill her . [ echoing ] to kill her ... nathan : lomax has been in office for two years . maxie : and now two more , unfortunately . nathan : but that 's my point , though . if she was unsatisfied with anna at any point , she could have fired her . why last night ? maxie : because , unlike their feelings about the mayor , people in this town actually like anna . lomax figured she would n't win if she ousted anna . nathan : it 's like a bad dream . i mean , lomax gets re - elected , and then she fires anna , and replaces her with some hot - shot outsider who -- big surprise -- has a huge grudge on her . i swear , since the day that sloane has got here , he has been gunning for anna . maxie : well , it looks like he hit his mark . anna : what does it look like i 'm doing , huh ? i 'm vacating my office . your office . sloane : then why are you still in it ? anna : good god ! would it be too much to ask for me to just have a little bit of time to put my things together ? of course it would be . what am i saying ? sloane : i just thought you might want to get in to do it a little earlier , but maybe you wanted us to cross paths ... so that you could congratulate me . [ scoffs ] sloane : anna , cut me a break here . i had no idea lomax was gon na fire you , let alone give me your job . anna : oh , do n't give me that load of crap . nikolas : these are private stock certificates . they work the same way as bearer bonds -- whoever holds them owns them . helena : which makes them ours . nikolas : well , tracy and alice turned these over to jerry jacks as ransom for luke spencer . jerry , of course , uh ... in turn , double - crossed them , which is not a surprise . what is surprising is how you came into possession of his ill- gotten stock . helena : jerry jacks is a good friend of mine . nikolas : [ chuckles ] which would explain why he has made himself comfortable on cassadine island from time to time . what do you plan on doing with these ? helena : those shares , my darling , are the first step to taking over elq . carly : so , did you get my text i sent you , wishing you a happy new year ? michael : no , i changed my number . carly : why ? why would you ... ? you did n't want me to be able to reach you . i know you 're upset . i know you 're so hurt , but it 's been a while , and ... just wondering , you know , m - may -- maybe we could talk . michael : no , you misunderstood . i 'm not here to see you . i have a business meeting . my associate chose the location . carly : regardless , it 's really wonderful to see you . rosalie : michael . michael : rosalie , hey . rosalie : hi . is your mom coming back ? i wanted to ask her about the job she posted online . michael : job -- uh ... trust me , you do n't want to work here . rosalie : i take it you 're still upset with her ? michael : `` still `` -- why does everybody keep saying `` still , `` like i 'm gon na get over it somehow ? carly 's out of my life , and she always will be . what ? rosalie : no , nothing . it 's just , if you 're trying to avoid your mother , what are you doing here ? michael : i have a business meeting . rosalie : oh . hence the suit . you look very nice . michael : thank you . so , what 's the position that carly posted about ? rosalie : reservation clerk . yeah , it requires some fancy computer skills , which , shockingly , i actually have . [ chuckles ] and i desperately need the money . michael : so come work for me . [ knock on door ] carly : jake , it 's carly . uh , are you awake ? i - i really need to talk to you . [ keys rattling ] patrick : thank you , angie . and please tell dr. collins that i appreciate him letting me use his computer while mine 's down . angie : he wo n't be in today , so take your time . patrick : okay . thank you . angie : just lock up when you leave ? patrick : i will . thanks . sam : hi . sam : what are you doing here ? patrick : i came to use dr. collins ' computer . what are you doing here ? sam : you know , actually , it 's a pretty funny story . patrick : yeah , i 'm sure it is . sam : you 're not gon na believe it . patrick : no , i wo n't , not unless you tell me that you picked the lock to get in here , and then you hacked into his computer to check his patient files . sam : wow . you 've become a really good pi . patrick : and you used the amsterdam key chain i gave you ? i mean , come on . is this not sacred to you ? sam : are you mad at me ? patrick : no . i 'm not mad , but i am curious . whose file are you so eager to see that you broke i do n't know how many laws to try and do so ? [ knock on door ] carly : jake , are you in there ? jason : yeah . i 'm here . just a minute . okay . i 'll be right there . morning . hi . carly : hi . this is so unfair . i ca n't just barge in here whenever i -- jason : it 's your hotel . carly : no , i 'm taking advantage , and i 'm gon na go . jason : carly , it 's fine . carly , please come in . please come in . what 's wrong ? carly : it 's michael . it 's michael . jason : okay , okay , okay . michael : you need a job ? i 'll give you one , especially if it spares you from working here . rosalie : oh . that 's , uh , really nice of you , michael , but ... thank you . ... i do n't know anything about stocks or corporations or any of that . michael : no , no , no , not -- not at elq . i 'm talking about at my -- the clinic i 'm opening up in my father 's name . i told you about it . rosalie : oh . michael : yeah . i mean , we 're not even close to being up and running . had a few setbacks for the location , but i finally found one . rosalie : michael -- michael : as soon as i close the deal on the property , i 'm gon na fast - track construction . i can put you on retainer until we 're in business . that is , if you want to be a nurse there , of course . so ... what do you think ? rosalie : um ... i -- i think ... no . nikolas : you want to take over elq now , huh ? why ? it 's not as if you need the money . helena : well , i have my reasons , not the least of which is pure satisfaction . [ chuckles ] the faces on that irksome family when their company is pried away ... nikolas : you 're not prying anything with only 15 1/2 % . you do realize that , do n't you ? helena : oh , i am aware that i need a majority , yes . nikolas : well , good luck with that . because the quartermaines hang on to their shares with white knuckles . helena : and it 's up to you to loosen their grip . anna : mayor lomax 's approval ratings were -- they were in the toilet . sloane : well ... anna : and yet somehow , she managed to get re - elected . sloane : maybe she ran a solid campaign . anna : oh , no . i do n't know . maybe you two teamed up to make sure that she would win . sloane : i hardly know the woman . anna : right . so that was all a coincidence , was it ? then you happened to be at the courthouse last night so that she was able to appoint you police commissioner herself ? sloane : well , i did n't just stroll in off the street . i was at the courthouse investigating the mission ballot box in my capacity as a federal agent . anna : well , that 's an excellent point . how does that work , exactly ? sloane : how does what work ? anna : well , the fact that you 're employed by the united states government -- at least , you were until last night . sloane : and ? anna : and that comes with a great deal of responsibility . i mean , i would think that they would need a little advance notice when you 're going to have a career change . i ca n't imagine that they were all that pleased when you suddenly upped and quit . sloane : well , what transpires between me and my employer is none of your concern . anna : oh , just admit it , kyle . you did n't suddenly get my job . you were guaranteed it . you knew this was coming . maxie : what is this guy 's problem , anyway ? nathan : who , sloane ? anna used to be an interagency liaison . for a while , she was with justice . she used to train their agents . she mentored sloane . guy was on a fast track to a promotion until anna called him out on some breach of ethics ... maxie : let me guess -- he did n't get the promotion . nathan : well , anna said the guy was a solid agent but that he had a propensity for cutting corners . i think her hope at the time was that if she held him back , it 'd benefit him in the long run . sloane ... does n't seem to agree . maxie : so this is about revenge . nathan : looks that way . maxie : and somehow lomax is involved ? nathan : it seems random to me that she would just hire some -- some special agent that she just met to be her new police commissioner . maxie : yeah . a federal agent who is also a known rule - breaker and ethics violator . this is outrageous and probably illegal -- nathan : max , that might be a little -- maxie : no , no , i 'm not scared to say it . lomax 's re - election campaign was rigged . michael : you 're turning me down ? rosalie : about the job offer . michael : i thought you needed the money . rosalie : i do , but -- michael : is this because we slept together ? look , rosalie , i care about you . rosalie : you do ? michael : yes , that night was important to me . i was going through a hard time , and you were there , and i ... i 'm -- i 'm very grateful . but it does n't have to mean anything , going forward -- if you -- you know , if you do n't want it to . what i 'm trying to say is , do n't let what happened between us mess with an opportunity here . we can be as little or as much to each other as you want . it 's completely up to you . rosalie : michael ... michael : i just made everything more awkward , did n't i ? rosalie : no . no , not at all . that night was important to me , too . and that 's not the reason that i ca n't join your nursing staff . michael : then what is ? rosalie : i 'm not really a nurse . nikolas : how am i supposed to bleed shares of elq from the quartermaines ? helena : well , you once had a dalliance with ned ashton 's daughter . you know , the brunette with that dreadful name -- brook lynn ? she was undoubtedly disappointed when you broke things off . nikolas : so what ? helena : rekindling that romance should be child 's play . she 'll be begging you to take her shares . another 6 1/2 % . nikolas : which brings you up to only 22 % . helena : us , with minimal effort . oh , nikolas , think of the possibilities ! elq with you at the helm will be the richest , most powerful conglomerate in the world . now , why the hesitation ? well , you did n't seem to mind when you resorted to underhanded methods when you conspired with a federal agent to fix the mayoral election . sloane : well , since i 'm here , put me to work . garbage or shredder ? anna : you made a previous arrangement with lomax , did n't you ? yeah ? that 's right ? sloane : that 's ridiculous . anna : she promised you my job , maybe weeks ago . sloane : see , now you 've gone from irrational to paranoid . this has n't been some master plan , anna . anna : no ? really ? sloane : how could lomax promise me a job ? she did n't know she was gon na be re- elected . anna : unless she did . nathan : we 're both close to him , not to mention your mom . i mean , what if -- what if i 'm just jumping to conclusions 'cause i do n't want to work for sloane ? maxie : and i 'm hoping there 's a conspiracy because i ca n't accept my mom lost fair and square ? no . something does not seem right about this . nathan : and i 'll look into it , all right ? i promise . maxie : okay . nathan : you know what else seems off here ? you and me in bed , talking about politics . maxie : that is wrong , is n't it ? nathan : it is the wrongest . maxie : that 's not a word . nathan : that 's okay . sam : i came in to dr. collins ' office to go through his notes on his session with jake doe . and before you get all judgey on me ... patrick : judgey ? when am i judgey ? sam : ... i ran into jake and carly here yesterday . patrick : in the office ? sam : no , not here in the office . in the hospital . and carly slipped up , and she happened to mention that jake had some sort of a memory about helping faison escape . patrick : an actual memory ? sam : kind of . it was more fragmented . jake was n't sure if it was real or not . patrick : so he booked an appointment with dr. collins . sam : i have a feeling that carly insisted on it . patrick : okay . so how did it go ? 'cause i 'm gon na assume that you were to find out . sam : do not make me sound like a stalker . patrick : do n't act like one . go on . the session ? sam : oh . that . yeah . it went really great . so , apparently , dr. collins told jake that he was never at the police station and ... that the false memory was caused by the power of suggestion . f.y.i . , ' caused by me . patrick : and you do n't believe it . sam : no . patrick : so you came in here , snooping around , to try and find out what really happened ? sam : yes . patrick : okay . sam : what do you think ? patrick : about what ? sam : well , are you gon na help me ? adventure buddy ? come on . carly : sorry about that . jason : it 's okay , it 's okay . is michael all right ? is he hurt ? carly : um , he 's fine . [ chuckles ] he 's fine . he , um ... came by the restaurant this morning , and i thought he was there to see me . jason : he was n't ? carly : no . he was cold and distant , and , um ... he even changed his cell phone number . jason : does n't necessarily mean he did that because of you . carly : he does n't want me to be able to reach him . jason : did he say that ? carly : he did n't deny it . jason : i 'm sorry , carly . i am . i just ... just stay a minute . do n't go anywhere , okay ? let me get ready . carly : of course . i 'm sorry . jason : i 'm sorry . carly : [ breathes deeply ] oh , god . nikolas : you think i had something to do with that election ? helena : well , apparently you thought it would be to your advantage to control both the mayor 's office and the police department . nikolas : do n't tell me you 're disappointed . helena : oh , nikolas , on the contrary . i 've been waiting years for you to exert your authority . but i - i am curious . you were so determined to cling to those dreary morals and ethics . now , what spurred the change of heart ? nikolas : life . love . how those two things will never coexist as long as emily is gone . helena : oh , enough with that insipid quartermaine girl . nikolas : do -- do not speak of her that way . she was everything to me . my one shot at happiness . not that i did n't try to move on . foolishly , as it turns out . helena : well , no woman is worthy of you . nikolas : grandmother , it 's -- it 's not them . it 's me . sloane : i 'd be careful tossing around accusations like that . anna : okay . why ? what are you gon na do ? you gon na fire me ? i believe this election was rigged . and as you so eagerly point out , you were chosen to oversee the missing ballot box investigation . so , is that a coincidence ? i think not . sloane : yeah , and -- and yet it was your detectives that retrieved it from spoon island . i mean , i was nowhere near -- anna : that does n't stop you from fixing it . sloane : after that cassadine kid found the box , detectives west and falconeri went out there . detective west took it to the courthouse and handed it personally to d.a . baldwin in front of both candidates . and yet , you insist that lomax and i somehow tampered with the ballots . but how could we have possibly done that ? helena : you were made for so much more . nikolas : but it does n't work that way , not for me . all of my attempts just absolutely blew up in my face . britt , even elizabeth . i was never gon na find love with them . all i was doing was torturing myself searching for something that simply did not exist , making a fool of myself in the process . but you know what ? i am -- i am sick of trying to be good . suppressing everything that comes natural to me . and i 'm done with it . helena : yes . nikolas : all that belongs to emily now . it 's time to be a cassadine now . helena : nikolas , you chose the perfect moment to embrace your true self . using a child 's innocent mistake to corrupt an election and then turning it to your advantage ? oh , my darling , that is a cassadine move . well done . patrick : want me to give you some advice ? sam : yes , please . patrick : let it go . sam : let it go ? are you kidding me ? this person held me at gunpoint . patrick : you do n't know that for sure . sam : yes , i do . patrick : and even if it is him , then we should let the police handle this . sam : the way they handled everything else , the way they handled the person that ran you off the road ? the cops are useless . patrick : you really believe that ? sam : [ scoffs ] patrick : are do you just want to find faison 's gunman so bad that you 're willing to do anything , including possibly going after the wrong man ? jason : hey ! sorry about that . carly : oh , i 'm sorry . i was just trying to push it -- jason : it 's okay . cleanliness is not one of my virtues . carly : [ chuckles ] we have that in common . jason : so , tell me about michael . carly : i was so happy when i saw him . i was . i was so happy . i thought , `` this is it , `` you know . enough time has passed , and he knows that i 'm not with sonny , and ... maybe he was ready . jason : but he was n't . carly : no , he was just as closed off as he 's ever been . jason : did you get in a fight ? carly : no . he did n't even raise his voice . he treated me like i was nothing . [ sniffles ] i just ca n't believe that he 's -- that he 's acting like this . i mean , i know that he 's extremely hurt . i know that he is . and -- and i know that he shut down before to protect himself . but he 's never done that because of me , you know . [ sighs ] jason : do you have faith in your son ? because michael struck me as a very strong man . and speaking from personal experience , it 's not easy to bounce back from a tbi , but he managed to do it . carly : he 's the strongest person i know . jason : well , then trust that he 's gon na get through this . it 's gon na be messy . it 's gon na take some time . but he 'll do it . carly : i 'll try . i just miss my son . you know , i just really miss my kid . [ sighs , sniffles ] jason : i mean , i do n't know . if you think it 'll help , i can talk to him . michael : you 're not a nurse ? rosalie : no . michael : so , what ? you just played one with nina ? rosalie : [ chuckles ] you do n't think i 'm awful for lying about it ? michael : actually , i 'm kind of embarrassed i did n't see it sooner , considering nina never even needed a wheelchair . rosalie : yep . it was all part of the plan to trick dr. clay . michael : so , why -- why did you agree to it ? rosalie : the money , which was generous , and because nina did n't really give me a choice . michael : right , the , uh , the blackmail . look , i , um , i have a lot of resources . okay , maybe i can make whatever nina 's holding over you go away . you just have to tell me what it is . nathan : i got to go to work . maxie : nope . nathan : i ca n't be late on sloane 's first day . maxie : yeah , that would be a really bad idea . i should probably go check on my mom , see how she 's doing after everything that happened . nathan : give her my best ? maxie : i will . nathan : maybe while you 're there , you could pack up some of your stuff and move it home . maxie : as in ... here ? i , um , had n't really thought about that . nathan : i mean , you 've seen staying with your parents for months now . maxie : yeah . ever since our , uh , crichton - clark adventure . nathan : yeah , and it was great that you let me move back in here , but the apartment 's still yours . and now that we 're together ... maxie : where would i put my things ? nathan : what do you mean ? maxie : well , like , your room or my room ? nathan : well , i was thinking my room . you know , you 'll need a room for when georgie comes to visit . maxie : yeah . i will . nathan : but ? maxie : [ chuckles ] i love the idea . i do . it 's just ... nathan : i mean , we 've been spending every day together since new year 's eve . it 's not like anything would change . maxie : nathan , we would be living together . nathan : the last thing i want to do is pressure you , okay ? so if you 're not ready ... maxie : [ clears throat ] if it were up to my heart , i would want to be handcuffed to you for eternity . but my head is telling me to take things slow , and i want to listen to it . nathan : okay . maxie : i just -- i do n't want to mess up a good thing . have i told you how highly skilled i am at that ? nathan : yes , you have . maxie : i really need this to work , okay ? just , i do n't want anything to happen to us . nathan : neither do i . maxie : so ... [ chuckles ] my answer for you is ... no , i do n't think we should move in together . nathan : okay . so , um , what do we do about our current arrangement ? maxie : you 're gon na have to move out . anna : i do n't know how you did it , but you did . sloane : [ chuckles ] anna : you somehow managed to turn the results in lomax 's favor . sloane : and how did we make lomax win ? magic ? i mean , i 'm powerful , but i 'm not that powerful . anna : you 're a liar , kyle . you 're a liar . and that is not something i taught my protégés . sloane : no , you taught us about honor and ethics and following the letter and the spirit of the law , even if it would be more expedient to ignore it . but in the end , you could n't practice what you preach , and that 's what this is really about . your little stunt with faison came back to bite you , and you lost your job ! and these accusations of election tampering are nothing but sour grapes . you 'll blame anyone as long as it 's not anna devane . anna : who 's got you in their pocket ? hmm ? for whom did you corrupt yourself ? nikolas : agent sloane approached me the other day . he knew that spencer had found the ballot box but was willing to look the other way . helena : for a price ? nikolas : yes , all would be swept under the rug if i was willing to help him with his plan . helena : so you did . well , i see that our chat before christmas had the desired effect . oh , it feels good to take the power back , does n't it ? from trifling women like elizabeth and britt . but , nikolas , why stop there ? what better way to prove your true worth than by seizing control of elq ? michael : tell me what the secret is . i 'll fix it . rosalie : [ sighs ] i 'm tempted , but , uh , i do n't want to drag you into my mess . michael : you sure ? rosalie : yes . thank you , though . um , and thank you for the job offer . [ chuckles ] guess i 'll just keep pounding the pavement . michael : right , um ... look , what i said before about the metro court , if you think this job fits you ...

[ scene_break ] rosalie : yeah , it 's true . um , i was nina 's only ... i would n't say friend so much as trusted employee for a long time . but that all changed the night you and i , uh , had drinks at the floating rib . michael : yeah , we were ... quite a pair that night . rosalie : [ chuckles ] you were upset over what was going on with your family , and nina was gon na expose something about me . the only reason she did n't was because she was too busy kidnapping your newborn baby sister . michael : i never pushed you about that secret , but if you ever want to talk to me -- rosalie : no , no , no . it 's -- it 's handled . do n't worry about it . my point was that i 'm not in any position to ask any favors of nina . i 'm basically dead to her . michael : yes , but you know how her mind works . rosalie : yeah . [ clears throat ] do n't remind me . michael : look , if you ca n't make her listen to reason , then maybe you can help her see the bottom line . rosalie : what is that ? michael : money -- and a lot of it . from what i understand , nina needs it . [ scene_break ] nina : me ... cover that ridiculous bill for franco ? seriously ? you 're a funny husband . ric : well , you know , i try to be . i mean , but seriously , i 'm sure you would have been fine . nina : uh , no . that 's kind of why we were blackmailing olivia . i 'm strapped for cash . ric : come on , nina . we may not have known each other all that long , but your family name does proceed you . i mean , you spoke about your mother several times . nina : okay , my mother . what about my mother ? ric : well , your mother 's madeline reeves . and you 're a member of the reeves real - estate dynasty . i mean , your family owns half of manhattan . nina : yeah , i - i did have money . i had money . but everything was given to the state -- all of my inheritance -- when i was deemed mentally unfit . i have no access to it . ric : maybe i can help you with that . [ scene_break ] maxie : it is time for you to go . franco : i feel like you have not been listening to anything that i 've been saying . maxie : i have heard everything you 've said , because you wo n't shut up . but , franco , what you 're saying does not track . franco : wait , so now you 're defending ric 's motives ? maxie : no , it 's not like ric does n't have a dark and evil side . he just does n't need the money . he was a successful lawyer when he lived here before . he defended some of the town 's most notable businessmen . franco : mobsters . they 're called mobsters . maxie : and in los angeles , he -- he ran a very successful law firm . franco : okay , i have never ever heard anybody complain about having too much money , and i 'm sure that he 's racked up a whole load of expenses with this whole fake - wife plan of his . [ stammers ] and i can tell that he 's practically panting to get his hands on nina 's inheritance . nathan : yeah , but nina does n't control the money . franco : well , i know that , and i can guarantee you that ric knows that . do you really feel like mental competency is gon na be a major roadblock for a shark lawyer like ric ? he wants to be custodian of nina 's finances now that they 're husband and wife . maxie : well , shoot . nathan : what ? maxie : he 's making a really good point . i mean , now that nina 's married , ric is her next of kin , and ... why would the state manage her funds when she has a husband who 's a lawyer that can handle all of it ? franco : yeah , look at you . really quick on the uptake . nina -- not so much . she 's not listening to any of my warnings . nathan , she has to listen to yours before it 's too late . [ scene_break ] sloane : your friend felicia scorpio was rightfully elected mayor of port charles . anna : [ chuckles ] oh . yeah . well , i - i wondered how it was possible that my replacement so conveniently was there when i was fired . sloane : you want to slap me across the face right now , right ? anna : maybe a couple of days ago , yeah , i would have , but ... uh ... i 've crossed a line . i 'm really not in any position to judge anyone for anything they do . you had my back , and i did n't deserve it , so i guess i should give you the benefit of the doubt , do n't you think ? sloane : i appreciate that . anna : all right , so tell me , then -- how did my friend felicia get robbed of her rightfully elected office ? sloane : i was about to be fired from the agency . anna : yeah . sloane : so , i thought i 'd kill two birds with one stone . i 'd make you pay for what you did to faison , and i 'd take your job from you . i rigged the election in lomax 's favor in exchange for her dethroning you . anna : okay . but , kyle , i have to tell you -- you 're not gon na be able to bring down lomax without bringing down yourself . you realize that ? sloane : [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] lucas : all three tests came back with the same results . even on the off chance one was compromised , the results are the same and indisputable . but -- sonny : but what ? lucas : there are definitely matches on many of the markers . kiki : so , that 's it , then ? she 's my mom ? lucas : no . according to this ... she 's not . sonny : what are you talking about ? lucas : according to this test , this woman is not ava jerome . denise : told ya ! kiki : so my mom really is dead . denise : oh , i 'm so sorry , sweetheart . i 'm sorry that you had to go through the pain of thinking that your mother had come back to you . now , i never wanted to add to that grief . i made it very clear who i am , right from the get - go . it 's unfortunate that someone wanted to get your hopes up . sonny : you said the dna was a match , though . lucas : i said there were matches , which surprised me , but not all the markers are a perfect match . dante : wait , what does that mean ? lucas : means that she 's a close member of ava 's family . julian : how close are we talking here ? lucas : within ava 's immediate family . [ scene_break ] singer : we keep pushing away nina : help me how ? ric : well , not only did you marry an attorney , you married a brilliant one . you get to utilize the benefit of my expertise , free of charge . nina : of course . ric : look , there 's no reason for you to be having a conservator manage your affairs . i think it 's gon na be very easy for us to be able to get your inheritance released from the state . nina : okay , so you are interested in my money . ric : yeah , for you . i mean , it 's your money , right ? you deserve it . i just want to see you get everything that you deserve , nina . nina : that 's very nice of you , but i do n't want you going to any trouble . ric : [ scoffs ] it 's no trouble at all . nina , it 's ridiculous for you to be blackmailing hotel owners just to have a place to live . nina : and you as my husband are entitled to part of my money , right ? ric : well , yes a - a - and no . i mean , look , inherited property is exempt from community property , e - except in the case of where there 's interest or investments from said property . then you -- look [ chuckles ] the bottom line is this -- what 's yours is mine , and what 's mine is yours . nina : all right , just ... [ chuckles lightly ] uh , when i was married before , i - i married somebody who was n't blessed with the same financial means as i was . that -- that sounds really horrible . ric : no , no , no , no . it does n't sound horrible . you know what it sounds -- it sounds ... sounds honest , okay ? but you 're not gon na have to worry about that this time . you married very well , [ laughing ] okay ? trust me . uh ... oh , boy . i 'm afraid that -- i 'm afraid that , uh , olivia 's interruption cut into our lunch . nina : mm , that 's too bad . i was looking forward to spending some time with you . ric : yeah , me , too . me , too . but , you know , unfortunately , duty calls . i got to go to a client , okay ? oh . yeah . okay . so , i - i -- let 's talk about this when i get home later . nina : mm - hmm . ric : okay . [ scene_break ] franco : you are just exceptionally brawny , but i know that you 've got a great set of brains in there , too , and this makes perfect sense , right ? and someone 's got to get through to nina . someone 's got to -- got to make her see that ric is just trying to take advantage of her . nathan : okay , and my sister wo n't listen to you why ? franco : because i - i made a mistake . maxie : [ laughs sarcastically ] oh , shocker . franco : i ... [ sighs deeply ] well , okay , so i accused her of taking ava 's baby -- kidnapping her -- and that really hurt her feelings and so now she 's lashing out and she 's making really bad , irrational decisions . maxie : oh . as opposed to the prime example of sanity she made by shacking up with you . franco : okay , that 's it . that 's the one . that 's the last potshot that you take . maxie : okay , you know what , baby - napping , wedding - ambushing , explosive- strapping freak ? you broke into a cop 's residence , and now you 're -- what ? -- whining because your victims are n't being nice ? franco : you know what ? surprisingly , this is not about me . this is about nina . she 's a total whack job . but i ... she 's a really -- she 's a great person . she -- she -- she trusts you , nathan . you 've got to help her . you 've got to -- you and i , we 're -- we 're gon na do this . we 're gon na -- we 're gon na -- we 're gon na get her through this whole ric nonsense . nathan : we -- we are not gon na do anything , all right ? i will handle this . franco : but i get to help , right ? nathan : no , but nothing . but nothing . the best thing that you can do is stay out of this . franco : okay , but i 'm rescuing nina , just to be clear . i mean , you play a -- a very strong supporting , tertiary role , but ultimately , this is my show , right ? maxie : oh , i - it 's time now , right ? nathan : yeah , it 's past time . out . go . franco : out ? nathan : go . out . you 've overstayed your welcome . go . franco : maybe i could get , like , a little glass of water . nathan : nope . franco : just -- before i -- [ nathan slams the door shut ] maxie : [ laughs ] nathan : [ sighs ] maxie : was he using my nail file ? that 's gross . [ scene_break ] sloane : no way will lomax get away with this . i can shut her down and still protect myself . anna : well , how are you gon na do that ? you just told me that you 're the one that brought the idea of rigging the election to her . so if you out her now , she will not only name you as coconspirator , she will name you as the mastermind behind the whole c -- o - or she will just deny it . she 'll deny everything . she will shun your accusations as the rantings of a disgruntled former employee , especially since you 're the only two that know what happened . i mean , there is n't anyone else that can back up your story . sloane : that 's not necessarily true . [ scene_break ] nikolas : mayor lomax informed me personally that the commissioner was fired . lulu : what was the mayor doing all the way out here ? nikolas : looking for a donation to her war chest . she 's making a run for governor , and a move like that is n't cheap . i told her i was a felicia supporter and that i did n't appreciate the way she treated anna . lulu : what happened to anna was so unfair . nikolas : lomax gave me the hard sell by telling me that sloane was fired . i did n't budge . lulu : good for you . nikolas : i 'm sorry , but there 's nothing i can do for you until a replacement is found . lulu : i should take this as a sign and drop the whole thing . [ sighing ] i really do n't like this jealous person i 've become . nikolas : hey , do n't talk about my sister that way . [ chuckles ] she has a good heart . lulu : [ sighs ] i would feel terrible if i cost someone a job that they really needed , especially my cousin . ugh ! i hate this new version of myself . nikolas : lulu , would you please stop beating yourself up ? you had one bad impulse . nothing came of it . no harm , no foul . lulu : you 're a really nice guy . nikolas : do n't tell anyone .

[ scene_break ] anna : was someone else involved ? sloane : i approached lomax with the idea of fixing the election , but only because an opportunity presented itself . anna : what opportunity ? sloane : someone contacted me about the missing ballot box . that someone was more than willing to go along with my plan once i explained how they could benefit . anna : who helped you and lomax fix the election ? sloane : nikolas cassadine .

[ scene_break ] anna : lomax fired you ? sloane : yeah , well , um , at least she tracked me down to do it in person . anna : oh , what was her reason ? sloane : the lavery investigation . according to lomax , i was overly focused on jake doe and let the real killer , carlos rivera , slip away . naturally , we ca n't have my negative poll numbers affect her run for governor . anna : oh , poll numbers . typical . sloane : i could n't defend myself without revealing that jake doe is my ci -- anna : or that carlos rivera was detained ... and ... i shot and killed him . sloane : [ sighs ] that , too . anna : basically , what you 're saying is that you got fired because of me .

[ back to present ] rosalie : wow , michael , that 's terrible . michael : with 1/3 already missing , we ca n't risk ned 's shares falling into enemy hands . i have to somehow ... somehow convince franco to sell the shares back to the company . rosalie : is it -- excuse me for saying this , but why does all of this fall on you ? i mean , ned got himself blackmailed , right ? should n't it be on ned to get his shares back ? michael : ned had to leave town unexpectedly , but , um , even if he were here , i 'm the ceo . it 's on me to make sure this family does n't lose what my great- grandfather worked so hard to build . rosalie : yeah . franco . that 's gon na be a tough conversation . michael : yeah , he wo n't listen to a word i have to say . rosalie : yeah , probably not . i mean , anytime he looks at you , he 's got to remember that he dropped an atom bomb on your family -- several times over . michael : yeah , pretty much , but there is one person he will listen to , and that 's nina . and that 's where you come in .

[ scene_break ] olivia : did you just say that you are her husband ? ric : yes , that 's right . nina and i are married . olivia : so , then this deep and abiding love that you feel for elizabeth , it 's just -- it disappeared just like that . ric : look , it was a difficult realization , but once i was able to accept the fact that elizabeth and my relationship was over , and my eyes and my heart were able to be open to other possibilities . olivia : i think i 'm gon na throw up . ric : and that 's when fate led me to nina . well , i just realized that she was the one for me . olivia : i get it . mazel tov . nina : thank you . ric : excuse me . olivia : that does not , however , excuse the fact that your new little wifey here has racked up quite a bill on my dime in my hotel . ric : oh , well , that should n't be any problem . i - i 'm living in the room with nina now . is n't that right , dear ? nina : that is right . ric : so , just transfer the room to my name . olivia : you 're not welcome here , either , ric . carly evicted you on the night of the nurses ' ball , and i wholeheartedly accept her decision . ric : yeah , you 're gon na probably want to reconsider that . olivia : no , we reserve the right to refuse service to anyone . just -- just consider yourselves refused . ric : no , you ca n't discriminate against people because you do n't like them olivia , okay ? this is n't indiana , right ?

[ scene_break ] anna : murdering carlos -- it 's just the gift that keeps on giving , is n't it ? and julian 's never gon na be charged with ordering duke 's death , and now you 've lost your job . sloane : come on , stop it . stop it . you 're not to blame for any of this . anna : you do n't think so ? sloane : no , lomax -- lomax is a power - hungry politician who cares more about her numbers than the real issues facing this town . anna : well , that 's no different to any other suit that we work for in washington , is it ? sloane : something like that , right . anna : i mean , i really think that you would have been able to outlast lomax , if -- if i had n't decided to take the law into my own hands . sloane : maybe what happened with carlos caused a chain reaction in getting me fired , but i do n't have to let lomax get away with it . anna : what do you mean ? sloane : i know exactly how to bring our mayor down . [ scene_break ] nathan : i can not believe that nina got married . maxie : yeah , and to ric lansing . i mean , he was just serenading elizabeth with some super - corny starbucks cover song at -- at the nurses ' ball . he proposed to her in front of the entire town . franco : well , we all know how that turned out . maxie : yeah , because ric neglected to mention a few minor details , like he was decoying elizabeth 's other boyfriend with a fake wife . franco : right , and good for nurse webber for saying no , but her gain is nina 's loss , because now ric is targeting nina . maxie : target ? what are you talking about ? nathan : ric and nina were in the same courthouse corridor on the same day , but as far as i know , that 's as close as they 've ever actually come to meeting , so why would ric target her ? franco : i think that would be obvious , mr. `` i 'm finally wearing some pants . `` he 's got his eyes on your family fortune . [ scene_break ] olivia : i 'm gon na have nina 's entire bill transferred over to your room . i got to tell you , what with the restaurant bills and the suite and the spa treatments and the room service , man , your new wife and her ex - boyfriend -- they racked up quite a tab . so enjoy that . ric : well , she can be rather unpleasant , ca n't she ? nina : [ laughs ] i 'm sorry that i pulled you into my situation with olivia . ric : oh , no . do n't -- no problem at all . i guess we can count ourselves fortunate that it was n't carly , right ? nina : yeah ! um , but she is right . our bill 's a doozy . but you have money , right ? you 're a high - powered attorney , right ? it 's no problem , right ? ric : it 's no problem at all . no , i can cover the bill , nina . i 'm sure . but , uh , you know , from what i understand , so could you . [ scene_break ] sonny : julian , i was gon na give you a call -- okay ? -- 'cause it appears you were mistaken when you told me which one of your men killed duke lavery . alexis : why do n't we stay focused on the matter at hand ? sonny : well , here 's the thing , alexis , your boyfriend here , he says he had nothing to do with it , right ? that one of his men was acting alone . alexis : do you really think the police station is the appropriate place to have this discussion ? sonny : well , i do n't hear him denying it . you -- you accused jake doe . julian : it 's what i believed at the time . sonny : you 're lying again 'cause you did it so carlos could run away . where is he ? [ scene_break ] anna : you know , you do n't want to do anything foolish , because lomax is not worth it . you understand that ? sloane : nothing foolish . just something i should have done a long time ago . anna : what ? sloane : use what i have against her to my advantage . do n't worry . mayor lomax is gon na see that she messed with the wrong person . anna : no , but you 've got to think about the potential consequences if you 're wrong . sloane : do n't worry . by the end of the day , i 'm gon na have my job back , or lomax is stepping down , as well -- if she 's not already behind bars . anna : wait , wait , wait . what do you have on her ? huh ? sloane : i know for a fact that the mayoral election was rigged . [ scene_break ] nikolas : lulu , i 'm not sure why you think i have any influence over sloane . he 's an appointed official . lulu : and you 're the richest man in town . ca n't you just make a donation or something ? please , like , buy a couple of tables at the policemen 's ball in exchange for not hiring valerie . nikolas : is that what you really want ? lulu : do i want my rich brother to exert questionable influence on a public official in order to keep my cousin from getting a job for which she is well- qualified ? wow , that sounds even worse when i say the whole thing out loud . what the hell is wrong with me ? nikolas : it appears that you 're somewhat conflicted over your newfound cousin . lulu : to a degree , yes , but this , what i 'm doing right now , this is n't me . you must think that i am a horrible person . nikolas : horrible ? no . in fact , i 'll say this because you 're my sister . lately i 've learned you do n't get very far by playing nice , so i get where you 're coming from . but sloane wo n't be able to help you . lulu : how do you know that ? nikolas : he 's been fired . lulu : wait , what ? i just came from the station . his assistant did n't say anything about that . nikolas : because it just happened . lulu : well , then how do you know about it ? [ scene_break ] julian : i have no knowledge of carlos ' whereabouts . sonny : i would n't expect a truthful answer from you anyways . julian : yeah , well , you do n't have to worry about me anymore , corinthos . i 'm done . sonny : yeah , you will be soon . julian : out of the business , actually . sonny : what business is that ? art ? media ? julian : derek wells media will be my sole focus . sonny : ahhhh . julian : so i 'm not gon na be involved in any other ventures . sonny : uh - huh . julian : so , looks like port charles is yours . well , for as long as you can hold it . so you should enjoy it , sonny . sonny : yeah . okay . denise : what kind of idiot gives away all that power ? you just gon na gift - wrap your territory and give it over to your arch nemesis ? kiki : can we just open the results please ? dante : yes , lucas . do the honors .

[ scene_break ] rosalie : yeah , it 's true . um , i was nina 's only ... i would n't say friend so much as trusted employee for a long time . but that all changed the night you and i , uh , had drinks at the floating rib . michael : yeah , we were ... quite a pair that night . rosalie : [ chuckles ] you were upset over what was going on with your family , and nina was gon na expose something about me . the only reason she did n't was because she was too busy kidnapping your newborn baby sister . michael : i never pushed you about that secret , but if you ever want to talk to me -- rosalie : no , no , no . it 's -- it 's handled . do n't worry about it . my point was that i 'm not in any position to ask any favors of nina . i 'm basically dead to her . michael : yes , but you know how her mind works . rosalie : yeah . [ clears throat ] do n't remind me . michael : look , if you ca n't make her listen to reason , then maybe you can help her see the bottom line . rosalie : what is that ? michael : money -- and a lot of it . from what i understand , nina needs it . [ scene_break ] nina : me ... cover that ridiculous bill for franco ? seriously ? you 're a funny husband . ric : well , you know , i try to be . i mean , but seriously , i 'm sure you would have been fine . nina : uh , no . that 's kind of why we were blackmailing olivia . i 'm strapped for cash . ric : come on , nina . we may not have known each other all that long , but your family name does proceed you . i mean , you spoke about your mother several times . nina : okay , my mother . what about my mother ? ric : well , your mother 's madeline reeves . and you 're a member of the reeves real - estate dynasty . i mean , your family owns half of manhattan . nina : yeah , i - i did have money . i had money . but everything was given to the state -- all of my inheritance -- when i was deemed mentally unfit . i have no access to it . ric : maybe i can help you with that . [ scene_break ] maxie : it is time for you to go . franco : i feel like you have not been listening to anything that i 've been saying . maxie : i have heard everything you 've said , because you wo n't shut up . but , franco , what you 're saying does not track . franco : wait , so now you 're defending ric 's motives ? maxie : no , it 's not like ric does n't have a dark and evil side . he just does n't need the money . he was a successful lawyer when he lived here before . he defended some of the town 's most notable businessmen . franco : mobsters . they 're called mobsters . maxie : and in los angeles , he -- he ran a very successful law firm . franco : okay , i have never ever heard anybody complain about having too much money , and i 'm sure that he 's racked up a whole load of expenses with this whole fake - wife plan of his . [ stammers ] and i can tell that he 's practically panting to get his hands on nina 's inheritance . nathan : yeah , but nina does n't control the money . franco : well , i know that , and i can guarantee you that ric knows that . do you really feel like mental competency is gon na be a major roadblock for a shark lawyer like ric ? he wants to be custodian of nina 's finances now that they 're husband and wife . maxie : well , shoot . nathan : what ? maxie : he 's making a really good point . i mean , now that nina 's married , ric is her next of kin , and ... why would the state manage her funds when she has a husband who 's a lawyer that can handle all of it ? franco : yeah , look at you . really quick on the uptake . nina -- not so much . she 's not listening to any of my warnings . nathan , she has to listen to yours before it 's too late . [ scene_break ] sloane : your friend felicia scorpio was rightfully elected mayor of port charles . anna : [ chuckles ] oh . yeah . well , i - i wondered how it was possible that my replacement so conveniently was there when i was fired . sloane : you want to slap me across the face right now , right ? anna : maybe a couple of days ago , yeah , i would have , but ... uh ... i 've crossed a line . i 'm really not in any position to judge anyone for anything they do . you had my back , and i did n't deserve it , so i guess i should give you the benefit of the doubt , do n't you think ? sloane : i appreciate that . anna : all right , so tell me , then -- how did my friend felicia get robbed of her rightfully elected office ? sloane : i was about to be fired from the agency . anna : yeah . sloane : so , i thought i 'd kill two birds with one stone . i 'd make you pay for what you did to faison , and i 'd take your job from you . i rigged the election in lomax 's favor in exchange for her dethroning you . anna : okay . but , kyle , i have to tell you -- you 're not gon na be able to bring down lomax without bringing down yourself . you realize that ? sloane : [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] lucas : all three tests came back with the same results . even on the off chance one was compromised , the results are the same and indisputable . but -- sonny : but what ? lucas : there are definitely matches on many of the markers . kiki : so , that 's it , then ? she 's my mom ? lucas : no . according to this ... she 's not . sonny : what are you talking about ? lucas : according to this test , this woman is not ava jerome . denise : told ya ! kiki : so my mom really is dead . denise : oh , i 'm so sorry , sweetheart . i 'm sorry that you had to go through the pain of thinking that your mother had come back to you . now , i never wanted to add to that grief . i made it very clear who i am , right from the get - go . it 's unfortunate that someone wanted to get your hopes up . sonny : you said the dna was a match , though . lucas : i said there were matches , which surprised me , but not all the markers are a perfect match . dante : wait , what does that mean ? lucas : means that she 's a close member of ava 's family . julian : how close are we talking here ? lucas : within ava 's immediate family . [ scene_break ] singer : we keep pushing away nina : help me how ? ric : well , not only did you marry an attorney , you married a brilliant one . you get to utilize the benefit of my expertise , free of charge . nina : of course . ric : look , there 's no reason for you to be having a conservator manage your affairs . i think it 's gon na be very easy for us to be able to get your inheritance released from the state . nina : okay , so you are interested in my money . ric : yeah , for you . i mean , it 's your money , right ? you deserve it . i just want to see you get everything that you deserve , nina . nina : that 's very nice of you , but i do n't want you going to any trouble . ric : [ scoffs ] it 's no trouble at all . nina , it 's ridiculous for you to be blackmailing hotel owners just to have a place to live . nina : and you as my husband are entitled to part of my money , right ? ric : well , yes a - a - and no . i mean , look , inherited property is exempt from community property , e - except in the case of where there 's interest or investments from said property . then you -- look [ chuckles ] the bottom line is this -- what 's yours is mine , and what 's mine is yours . nina : all right , just ... [ chuckles lightly ] uh , when i was married before , i - i married somebody who was n't blessed with the same financial means as i was . that -- that sounds really horrible . ric : no , no , no , no . it does n't sound horrible . you know what it sounds -- it sounds ... sounds honest , okay ? but you 're not gon na have to worry about that this time . you married very well , [ laughing ] okay ? trust me . uh ... oh , boy . i 'm afraid that -- i 'm afraid that , uh , olivia 's interruption cut into our lunch . nina : mm , that 's too bad . i was looking forward to spending some time with you . ric : yeah , me , too . me , too . but , you know , unfortunately , duty calls . i got to go to a client , okay ? oh . yeah . okay . so , i - i -- let 's talk about this when i get home later . nina : mm - hmm . ric : okay . [ scene_break ] franco : you are just exceptionally brawny , but i know that you 've got a great set of brains in there , too , and this makes perfect sense , right ? and someone 's got to get through to nina . someone 's got to -- got to make her see that ric is just trying to take advantage of her . nathan : okay , and my sister wo n't listen to you why ? franco : because i - i made a mistake . maxie : [ laughs sarcastically ] oh , shocker . franco : i ... [ sighs deeply ] well , okay , so i accused her of taking ava 's baby -- kidnapping her -- and that really hurt her feelings and so now she 's lashing out and she 's making really bad , irrational decisions . maxie : oh . as opposed to the prime example of sanity she made by shacking up with you . franco : okay , that 's it . that 's the one . that 's the last potshot that you take . maxie : okay , you know what , baby - napping , wedding - ambushing , explosive- strapping freak ? you broke into a cop 's residence , and now you 're -- what ? -- whining because your victims are n't being nice ? franco : you know what ? surprisingly , this is not about me . this is about nina . she 's a total whack job . but i ... she 's a really -- she 's a great person . she -- she -- she trusts you , nathan . you 've got to help her . you 've got to -- you and i , we 're -- we 're gon na do this . we 're gon na -- we 're gon na -- we 're gon na get her through this whole ric nonsense . nathan : we -- we are not gon na do anything , all right ? i will handle this . franco : but i get to help , right ? nathan : no , but nothing . but nothing . the best thing that you can do is stay out of this . franco : okay , but i 'm rescuing nina , just to be clear . i mean , you play a -- a very strong supporting , tertiary role , but ultimately , this is my show , right ? maxie : oh , i - it 's time now , right ? nathan : yeah , it 's past time . out . go . franco : out ? nathan : go . out . you 've overstayed your welcome . go . franco : maybe i could get , like , a little glass of water . nathan : nope . franco : just -- before i -- [ nathan slams the door shut ] maxie : [ laughs ] nathan : [ sighs ] maxie : was he using my nail file ? that 's gross . [ scene_break ] sloane : no way will lomax get away with this . i can shut her down and still protect myself . anna : well , how are you gon na do that ? you just told me that you 're the one that brought the idea of rigging the election to her . so if you out her now , she will not only name you as coconspirator , she will name you as the mastermind behind the whole c -- o - or she will just deny it . she 'll deny everything . she will shun your accusations as the rantings of a disgruntled former employee , especially since you 're the only two that know what happened . i mean , there is n't anyone else that can back up your story . sloane : that 's not necessarily true . [ scene_break ] nikolas : mayor lomax informed me personally that the commissioner was fired . lulu : what was the mayor doing all the way out here ? nikolas : looking for a donation to her war chest . she 's making a run for governor , and a move like that is n't cheap . i told her i was a felicia supporter and that i did n't appreciate the way she treated anna . lulu : what happened to anna was so unfair . nikolas : lomax gave me the hard sell by telling me that sloane was fired . i did n't budge . lulu : good for you . nikolas : i 'm sorry , but there 's nothing i can do for you until a replacement is found . lulu : i should take this as a sign and drop the whole thing .

[ scene_break ] phyllis : if your theory is right and adam is only seeking approval from victor , then what better way to get that than betray you ? jack : not gon na happen . phyllis : how can you be so sure ? jack : because adam will never admit that he needs his father 's approval . it 's a vicious cycle , one i know all too well . phyllis : so you 're transferring your daddy issues to adam ? jack : every son wants to make his father proud whether he 's 4 or 40 , but eventually , you realize you ca n't live your life for someone else . phyllis : and he did that by selling you the newman stock . jack : exactly . phyllis : oh . jack : if he wanted to make brownie points with daddy dearest , all he had to do was give him his newman stock , and this takeover never would have happened . phyllis : okay . i get what you 're saying . i still do n't trust him . jack : then trust me . adam is desperate to prove to victor that he 's a real player in the business world . that alone is going to keep him honest .

michael tells victor that since there was another fire set at a warehouse with the same modus operandi as the fire at his house , it is unlikely that sharon could have set the fire at his house . victor advises michael not to discard sharon as the suspect of his house fire . kevin pleads with michael to let him borrow or help him raise the five million dollars needed to buy adam 's share of tagngrab , but michael says he ca n't raise that kind of money . kevin thinks that michael never wanted him to be successful and they argue about it at the coffee house . michael gets word that gloworm has burned to the ground and is puzzled when kevin says that jeffrey and gloria have a huge insurance policy , and they will be fine .

john : here you go , honey . so tell me , why exactly was chad here ? marlena : he was having a session . i ca n't tell you about it . john : all right . probably used the session as a diversion , had someone come in from behind , knock you out . you know , by the way , we got to get you moved to a better place , more secure -- this is the second time you 've been attacked here . marlena : sami . sami , i 'm -- i bet they were trying to find out where sami is . try to get a location . you -- you think somebody else was helping him ? john : andre . yes , stefano , his money , sami . leave it to that damn family to stick together in a time of crisis . andre : father , we 've discussed this at length . the only way we 're gon na be able to track sami and get our money back is through belle . now , i regret having to put chad in a compromising position . stefano : `` compromising position `` ? you 're brainwashing him , you fool ! brady : oh , theresa . theresa : hello . hi . hi . brady : theresa , this is my little sister belle . theresa : oh , yeah , belle . of course , brady 's told me so much about you . welcome back to salem . belle : yeah , thanks . theresa : so i - i understand that you 're starting a new career . belle : yeah , law practice . theresa : oh . belle : yeah -- well , before i get that started , i have some other business to take care of . theresa : oh , busy , busy . belle : mm - hmm , so , uh , yeah . i 'm gon na get going , theresa . so nice to meet you . brady : hey . i know you have this under control . do n't worry about it , all right ? you 're gon na make the right choice . belle : thanks . thanks for listening . brady : i always do . belle : okay . brady : be good . theresa : ah . brady : ah . theresa : i have a - a little confession to make . i hope it does n't make you mad . brady : [ fake laugh ] depends on what it is . theresa : okay , i heard a little bit about what you were talking about before , with belle . brady : you mean about the ... theresa : the money from sami . brady : the money , yeah . theresa : uh , sami , and , um -- you know , i - i just understand that she wants to give it to charity , and she does n't really know what to do with it , and , um -- well , look , i know it was a private conversation and that 's fine . it 's probably none of my business , but i was just thinking , you know , if she has a large amount of money and she has n't really decided what to do with it yet , i might have the perfect solution for her . brady : i know that look . i know it and it worries me . i do n't like it . theresa : no , hey , come on . do not assume the worst , okay ? just listen , it 's a really good idea . okay ? brady : mm - hmm . theresa : i mean , yes , it benefits me , but it also benefits belle . it 's a win- win - win situation . brady : win - win - win situation . that 's three wins . three wins . theresa : well , kate wins too . brady : why do you care about kate winning ? theresa : just -- okay , hear me out . what if belle uses the money to buy kate out ? brady : from basic black ? theresa : exactly , it 's a `` hello , new silent partner , `` and `` good - bye , mistress of darkness and misery . `` kate : so how many more exes are going to come slithering out from under the woodwork ? please tell me you do n't have children with that one . eduardo : was n't that kind of relationship . miriam . she 's completely in my past now . kate : you 're gon na have to give me a lot more than that if you want me to be reassured . eduardo : well , maybe you should n't be . brady : see , i thought that you three partners were all getting along , that everything was fine . theresa : yeah , it was , uh , fleeting , as it turns out . brady : oh . that explains your mood when you first came in . did you and kate have it out earlier or something ? theresa : seriously , brady , i think -- you know what ? if that bitch thought she could get away with it , she would kick me out on my butt the first chance she got . brady : oh , you think ? theresa : yeah , i know . i mean , if belle were to do this , right , if she were to buy kate out , she would have a place to park her money and then just get on with her career . and hey , maybe you could be partners with her . it 'd be a great way for you to reconnect with your sister . brady : there could be some benefits to me upping my investment , but ... i ca n't tell my sister what to do with her money , theresa . theresa : right . yeah , okay . i just figured maybe you could suggest it to her . brady : mm - hmm . i 'll think about it , okay ? theresa : okay . brady : all right . [ knock at door ] theresa : i 'll get it . nicole : hi . theresa : hi . nicole : am i interrupting something ? theresa : yeah , actually -- brady : actually , no . not at all . kayla : ooh , so excited . joey : hey , what about this one ? too big ? steve : well , it 'd be fine for the white house maybe . kayla : okay , well , maybe something a little smaller . steve : he 's like a little kid again . is n't he ? kayla : yeah . he 's sweet . steve : listen , listen . i 'll tell you what . let 's not make a quick decision about this , okay ? this is our first christmas tree together in a long time . it 's got to be perfect . right ? kayla : okay . steve : come on , keep looking . kayla : ooh , so cold out here ! come on , let 's pick one ! steve : now , remember , no bare spots , no sideways tilt . kayla : well , this one does n't have any bare spots . steve : oh . joey : mom , that tree 's totally tilting , are you kidding ? kayla : well , we could probably wedge it up or something . steve : no , no , no , no , no . listen , listen , i 'll tell you what i 'm gon na do . if we ca n't find our tree here , i 'm going to the woods , and i 'm gon na cut us one down . kayla : oh , great , and then you get arrested in the process . steve : i 'll wear a beaver suit . kayla : oh , nice solution . steve : you like that ? joey : hey , check that one out . 10 : 00 . steve : wow . kayla : he is so happy . steve : yeah . kayla : do you really think that somebody was working with him to get his mom and dad back together ? steve : well , maybe , but i do n't who would be crazy enough to sign off on a stunt like that .

miriam : from eduardo , of course . he 's told me all about you . well , i do n't want to overstay my welcome . it was nice to meet you , kate . and i do hope you two are happy together and that nothing gets in the way . kate : so ... who is that really ? john : here you go , honey . so tell me , why exactly was chad here ? marlena : he was having a session . i ca n't tell you about it . john : all right . probably used the session as a diversion , had someone come in from behind , knock you out . you know , by the way , we got to get you moved to a better place , more secure -- this is the second time you 've been attacked here . marlena : sami . sami , i 'm -- i bet they were trying to find out where sami is . try to get a location . you -- you think somebody else was helping him ? john : andre . yes , stefano , his money , sami . leave it to that damn family to stick together in a time of crisis . andre : father , we 've discussed this at length . the only way we 're gon na be able to track sami and get our money back is through belle . now , i regret having to put chad in a compromising position . stefano : `` compromising position `` ? you 're brainwashing him , you fool ! brady : oh , theresa . theresa : hello . hi . hi . brady : theresa , this is my little sister belle . theresa : oh , yeah , belle . of course , brady 's told me so much about you . welcome back to salem . belle : yeah , thanks . theresa : so i - i understand that you 're starting a new career . belle : yeah , law practice . theresa : oh . belle : yeah -- well , before i get that started , i have some other business to take care of . theresa : oh , busy , busy . belle : mm - hmm , so , uh , yeah . i 'm gon na get going , theresa . so nice to meet you . brady : hey . i know you have this under control . do n't worry about it , all right ? you 're gon na make the right choice . belle : thanks . thanks for listening . brady : i always do . belle : okay . brady : be good . theresa : ah . brady : ah . theresa : i have a - a little confession to make . i hope it does n't make you mad . brady : [ fake laugh ] depends on what it is . theresa : okay , i heard a little bit about what you were talking about before , with belle . brady : you mean about the ... theresa : the money from sami . brady : the money , yeah . theresa : uh , sami , and , um -- you know , i - i just understand that she wants to give it to charity , and she does n't really know what to do with it , and , um -- well , look , i know it was a private conversation and that 's fine . it 's probably none of my business , but i was just thinking , you know , if she has a large amount of money and she has n't really decided what to do with it yet , i might have the perfect solution for her . brady : i know that look . i know it and it worries me . i do n't like it . theresa : no , hey , come on . do not assume the worst , okay ? just listen , it 's a really good idea . okay ? brady : mm - hmm . theresa : i mean , yes , it benefits me , but it also benefits belle . it 's a win- win - win situation . brady : win - win - win situation . that 's three wins . three wins . theresa : well , kate wins too . brady : why do you care about kate winning ? theresa : just -- okay , hear me out . what if belle uses the money to buy kate out ? brady : from basic black ? theresa : exactly , it 's a `` hello , new silent partner , `` and `` good - bye , mistress of darkness and misery . `` kate : so how many more exes are going to come slithering out from under the woodwork ? please tell me you do n't have children with that one . eduardo : was n't that kind of relationship . miriam . she 's completely in my past now . kate : you 're gon na have to give me a lot more than that if you want me to be reassured . eduardo : well , maybe you should n't be . brady : see , i thought that you three partners were all getting along , that everything was fine . theresa : yeah , it was , uh , fleeting , as it turns out . brady : oh . that explains your mood when you first came in . did you and kate have it out earlier or something ? theresa : seriously , brady , i think -- you know what ? if that bitch thought she could get away with it , she would kick me out on my butt the first chance she got . brady : oh , you think ? theresa : yeah , i know . i mean , if belle were to do this , right , if she were to buy kate out , she would have a place to park her money and then just get on with her career . and hey , maybe you could be partners with her . it 'd be a great way for you to reconnect with your sister . brady : there could be some benefits to me upping my investment , but ... i ca n't tell my sister what to do with her money , theresa . theresa : right . yeah , okay . i just figured maybe you could suggest it to her . brady : mm - hmm . i 'll think about it , okay ? theresa : okay . brady : all right .

[ scene_break ] belle : i do n't even know what love is anymore . i mean , here i was in love with shawn for as long as i can remember , and then he abandoned me . so i realized my love for philip practically overnight . and now i 'm back in love with shawn . i hate love . hope : bo and i have been going through ... a rather tough time right now because of billie . but , belle , i 'm telling you , i know in the deepest part of me that our love -- bo 's and mine -- is forever . nothing billie does could ever truly come between us , because bo and i have that special love that lasts forever . the same once - in - a - lifetime love that you share with shawn . belle ... i 'm telling you straight out . honey , if you give up that love , you will regret it for the rest of your life . ask yourself this , okay ? do you really think that philip wants to be married to someone who 's not in love with him ?

[ scene_break ] bart : so i 'm guessing you did n't pull this plan out of thin air . i mean , you had it all worked out way back when jack first cut and ran , did n't you , boss ? tony : of course . bart : you 're the man . tony : thank you . bart : but , boss , how ? i mean , how did you know way back when what jack would do and when he would do it ? i mean , you 're like -- you 're like the great chess masters -- always one move ahead . tony : no . 20 moves ahead , bart . let 's face it . i knew jack would come back to salem to reunite with his loving wife . so i decided to recruit the best . i knew when jack would come to his front door to meet his loving wife , i would have madison masquerade as jennifer . bart : lucky duck . madison 's hot . tony : not my type . i like my women authentic . bart : yeah , but , boss , your plan would n't have worked out so good if the real jennifer had showed up , so i guess you got lucky there . tony : luck had nothing to do with it . i had an informer tell me that jennifer was going to spend the evening with alice horton 's anniversary party , along with patrick lockhart . ghoulish , do n't you think ? i mean , tom 's been dead for years . jack : i could n't help but overhear that , uh , lockhart was with jennifer . are you saying that he 's still working for you ? tony : all you need to know , jack , is this -- that i will not allow anyone to interfere with my well thought out plans . bart : that 's right , boss . you tell him . hey , you would n't believe the things the boss has got in the hopper for the good town of salem , especially the lollapalooza . jack : lollapalooza . bart : oh , it 's a ring - a - ding - dinger . listen to this . tony : oh , would you shut up , bart ? bart : i 'm hip . lips zipped .

[ scene_break ] billie : what 's he saying ? bo : he will only talk to you . billie : okay , it 's me . what do you want ? sami : you caused georgia 's suffering . all you cared about was latching onto bo , keeping him in your bed . you did n't even think about your newborn daughter . billie : that 's not true . why are you torturing me ? tony is dead ! the torture is supposed to stop ! who are you ? why are you doing this to me ? sami : how could you do it , uncle bo ? how could you kill my mother ? bo : sami , listen to me -- sami : i saw it on the news . you gave the order to have your men hunt my mother down like an animal ! and then shoot her on sight ? oh , god . that is cold- blooded murder , uncle bo , and i swear to god , i will make sure that you pay for it . billie : damn it . where are you keeping my daughter ? sami : ha ha ha ha ! it wo n't do you any good . you 'll never find her . she 's gon na go on missing you and needing you until the day she dies . ha ha ha .

[ scene_break ] emily : we 'll be landing soon and i 'll go to the hospital , and you 'll -- you 'll go home and , and we 'll start pretending to live separate lives . almost like spain was a dream . sonny : hey , hey . i 'm glad it was n't . right ? emily : me , too . [ emily sighs ] sonny : what are you thinking about ? emily : oh -- sonny : the trip ? emily : yeah . sonny : huh ? emily : i 'm wondering when we can -- can be alone again .

[ scene_break ] sam : i 'm not in the mood , ric . ric : well , jason did n't want to hear it , either , sam . but kristina 's in danger . and you saved her once before . you can do it again . sam : where is this coming from ? ric : manny was talking to kristina outside of kelly 's this afternoon . now , i told this to jason , but he seems to be more concerned with being angry at alexis and myself than he is in keeping kristina safe , so i thought that -- sam : now , why the hell should i clean up alexis ' mess , after everything she 's done to destroy my life ? [ scene_break ] diego : get out of here , georgie ! georgie : get off of him ! diego : no , no , no , no ! get away ! georgie : leave him alone ! leave him alone ! diego : georgie , get out ! agh ! get off ! georgie : oh . diego : oh ! georgie : ah ! diego : let her go ! man : this is n't your fight . oh ! diego : you ok ? georgie : yeah , i 'm fine , are you ? diego : you sure ? you sure ? georgie : yeah . yes . diego : you want to tell me what the hell that was about ? [ scene_break ] nikolas : i 'm hoping that we can discuss how i can visit john . jax : no , there 's no discussion , ok ? you 're not allowed to see john . if you do n't mind , i have work to do . nikolas : listen -- listen , i know that i have been antagonistic towards you . but i can assure you -- jax : i made my position clear . nikolas : john is the child that -- that courtney always wanted ; the one she gave her life up for . and i 'm just trying -- i 'm just trying to stay connected to the woman i loved . jax : that 's not going to happen , so you can forget it . nikolas : jax , you said so yourself the night that courtney died . she would want her son to know the man that she was going to marry . jax : i wo n't take chances with my son . you 're not allowed to see him . nikolas : just like that , huh ? jax : i have my own grieving to do . nikolas : this -- grieving ? this is n't about grieving . this is about jealousy . you ca n't stand that courtney divorced you and was going to marry me . jax , courtney wanted me to be a part of john 's life . you know that as well as i do . but you do n't care , do you ? you do n't care because i took courtney away from you . and you wo n't be happy till you take something away from me . courtney 's baby . [ scene_break ] emily : you know , things were so easy in spain . we were free . sonny : yeah , well , we 'll plan another trip soon , all right ? emily : where shall we go ? sonny : let 's see . anyplace but my island . emily : that 's funny . that was just the place that i was thinking that i wanted to go . sonny : i told you i want everything to be different with you . emily : what 's different is us . it 's not our surroundings . sonny , i do n't want us to hide from your past . sonny : i 'll think about it . emily : ok . well , that 's a start . sonny : all right . emily : and in the meantime , we 're going to have to find reasons to be together . sonny : right . but this is temporary . once things settle down , we 'll be able to be honest about how we feel . [ scene_break ] carly : i think i 'm the reason that sonny 's not calling . jason : why , what happened ? carly : no -- nothing . i just wanted sonny to cancel his trip so he could take the boys , but he left sooner than i thought he was going to leave , so i called down there . i left tons of messages . must have sounded pretty ticked off , and he probably just deleted them all , along with yours . so can i -- you do n't need to get in the middle of me and manny fighting . i 'll just talk to you later . jason : ok , hold on . carly : what ? jason : you said that we 'd both been lied to . what did you mean ? carly : nothing , i was just being carly and mouthing off . jason : carly , what are you -- what are you not trying to tell me ? [ scene_break ] sam : you tried to kill manny yourself . he survived and caused a train wreck , which almost killed your wife and your unborn child . and then you and alexis went to court and got him set free . now that he 's back on the streets again , you 're back to wanting him dead . ric : the irony has n't escaped me , believe me . the point is , what do we do now ? sam : what exactly has manny done ? ric : i told you before , he was talking to kristina . sam : talking ? threatening her ? hurting her ? what ? ric : no , it 's just a feeling i got , sam . sam : oh , really ? like the feeling i had in the holding room when manny ripped my blouse off and threatened to rape me ? ric : i can not change the verdict , all right ? i just do n't want the man around my children . sam : i never wanted him around , period . but you and alexis twisted what i did in court and got it turned against me and got manny set free with a slap on the wrist . ric : you still want him gone . jason can make that happen . sam : no , jason will do what he wants , when he wants . ric : sam , kristina is sonny 's daughter . if jason can grasp the fact that she is in danger , then maybe -- sam : if you are so worried , why do n't you finish the job you started and kill manny yourself ? i am sure that your wife will get you acquitted . and if you want to protect your children , pack them up with your hypocritical wife and get out of town . i would be happy to help you with that . alexis : oh . are you working for a travel agent now ? -can i talk to you for a second ? [ scene_break ] manny : no , mira , hermano . i was passing by and i heard a fight . i wanted to help you . diego : yeah , sure you did . manny : listen , you 've been away . i 'm a different man now . georgie : he had an operation and it changed him manny : everyone deserves a second change , right ? i 'm no one 's enemy now . just ask your father . ask your father . diego : you buy that ? georgie : oh , no , i still think he 's creepy , but ever since he 's had the operation , he 's been acting all repentant and sorry for what he did , so i guess i just have to go with it . ah , diego , you 're bleeding . diego : georgie , what are you doing here alone ? georgie : dillon and i were headed to the movies when he got a call from a couple of people in film class , and their lighting guy quit ; they begged him to fill in . now i 'm really glad that it happened . we need to call the police . diego : no , no , no , no , no . no , we do n't . [ scene_break ] carly : look , i was mad at you because you sent max to spy on me and jax , and i assume that order came from sonny . but obviously you have n't spoken to sonny and you 're in a really bad mood , so i 'm out of here . jason : that 's pretty far - fetched even for you , carly . carly : wow . thanks for the vote of confidence . it happens to be the truth . and you know what ? speaking of the truth , you and sonny are completely wrong about jax . he happens to be a very nice guy . jason : ok , time to go . carly : look , i know that you hate him -- jason : no , i do n't care about jax one way or the other . carly : well , he is little john 's father and i have to care about him , so i am trying to get to know this man , keep an open mind , and i suggest you and sonny do the same thing . jason : ok , that is the end of discussion . carly : he can be a great guy . jason : ok , let 's go . let 's go . carly : you know what ? jax has a hundred reasons not to trust me , but he 's giving me the chance , he listens to me , he listens to my opinion , and he respects me , and that makes me feel really good . jason : ok , send me a wedding invitation , ok ? carly : you know what ? he asks me questions about little john . he listens to all of my stuff . jason : ok , thank you , carly . goodbye . carly : bye . [ scene_break ] sam : good timing . we have a legal problem and we need a professional opinion . alexis : `` we `` ? sam : yes . manny has been sniffing around kristina . alexis : what happened ? ric : he was outside of kelly 's this afternoon . kristina dropped her doll , he picked it up , and he was talking to her . alexis : all right , well , we ca n't allow that to happen . sam : allow what , exactly ? let 's look at the facts here . you like facts , do n't you ? i mean , from a legal standpoint anyway . has manny broken any laws ? alexis : i do n't know , sam . what did he do ? what happened ? ric : he was chatting . he was being friendly . alexis : was she scared ? ric : well , understandably so , alexis . she was wary . i mean , he 's a complete stranger . sam : why do n't you just answer the question -- has manny broken any laws ? alexis : what is your point ? sam : the rule of law is the only point . is n't that what you believe ? what has manny done ? he has n't threatened , assaulted anyone . he was just there , and as a good mother -- and we all know what a great mother you are -- alexis : oh -- ric : do n't , do n't . sam : of course you would n't want your child around a murdering freak . but since you put the law above everything else -- even the safety of your own children -- you will not presume guilt without proof . after all , you did successfully defend manny in court , correct ? alexis : why do n't you just tell me how this all started ? sam : when your husband asked me to ask jason to kill manny . alexis : huh ? sam : `` huh ? `` yes . there are all kinds of justice , alexis . i sure hope -- thank you -- you get what you deserve , both of you . ric : it was my first instinct to go to jason . alexis : a , do we have to worry about manny hurting the children ? b , how do we stop him ? ric : we do n't . [ scene_break ] georgie : you could 've been killed , diego . why do n't you want to report that ? diego : look , this happened because of what i did in prison , ok ? i stopped a murder , now the guys -- apparently they 're coming after me . georgie : exactly , diego . they 're going to try again . diego : georgie , i 'll handle it , it 's fine . georgie : but wait , we could talk to my dad . he could get some kind of -- diego : georgie -- georgie , listen to me . it 's my problem , ok ? i 'll figure it out . lorenzo : hey . i got a call after the fact . what happened to you ? georgie : diego was attacked by -- diego : i was mugged , dad . it 's fine . georgie tried to help . georgie : manny ruiz helped , too . he helped diego run the guys off . lorenzo : you need to be protected . there is security at my house -- diego : dad -- dad , dad , dad ! we talked about this , ok ? lorenzo : yeah , i know we talked about it . diego : i said no before . nothing 's changed . lorenzo : would you leave me alone with my son , please ? please . diego : it 's ok . it 's ok . it 's ok . georgie : all right , ok , i 'll see you later . diego : ok . lorenzo : this was no mugging and you know it .

[ scene_break ] elizabeth : i understand you 're worried , and i 'm sure it wo n't be a problem . all right , i 'll let you know . nikolas : hello , elizabeth . i 'm here to see john . elizabeth : you ca n't . i just hung up with jax , and he left specific orders not to let you see his son . and if you ignore it , i 'm supposed to call security . nikolas : but you wo n't . jax is at home . i 'm here . just tell him you never saw me come in . elizabeth : oh , nikolas , i 'm not defending jax , i 'm not saying i agree with him , but he has the right to do this . nikolas : jax is a vindictive ass . all i want is to stay connected to courtney 's child . he 's all i have left of her . elizabeth : courtney would n't want her baby subjected to the stress of you and jax fighting . emily : hey . what 's going on ? elizabeth : oh , good . maybe you can get through to him , and maybe you 'll be smart enough to let her . [ scene_break ] sam : hey . so , ric came to see me . he said he asked you to kill manny , but you were reluctant . and then he wanted me to talk you into it . jason : and what did you say ? sam : i said , clean up your own mess . and then alexis -- excuse me , my mother -- came in and she was all in a twist because evil manny is after kristina and i wanted to scream at the hypocrisy . but i did n't because we both agreed that it 's best that i do not tell her that i am the child she gave up . but every time i look at that woman , i get a knot in my stomach . [ phone rings ] jason : hello ? sonny : it 's me . jason : where are you ? i 've been trying to reach you . sonny : i 'm -- i 'm back in town . sorry . you know , i 've been out of touch . jason : all right , i 'll be over there in half an hour -- maybe a little more , but we have a lot to discuss . i understand , i do , that this -- this whole thing has been hard for you , but you know that you 're going to run into alexis whether you like it or not . sam : i have to find a way to deal with this . jason : and i think there 's one other person who we should tell that alexis is your mother . he has a history with both of you . [ scene_break ] sonny : i bought the kids presents . they 're in the car . can you -- max : i ca n't do this . sonny : what 's that ? max : jason 's been leaning all over me trying to find out where you were . and then carly -- i do n't even know where to begin , so i 'm not going to start . look , you know i 'm loyal to you , boss . i follow your orders , i watch your back , i 'll even take a bullet for you . but you got to figure out your personal life on your own or i quit . [ scene_break ] [ knock on door ] carly : ok , time 's up . jax : hi . carly : you have got to buy the house next door before somebody else snatches it up . jax : carly , i told you i 'm not in a rush . carly : wow . there is not a whole lot we can salvage here -- this reeks of single adult male -- but lucky for you , i 'm a decorator and i can have the new house fixed up as soon as possible . jax : hold on just one -- i love this furniture , ok ? it 's been with me for a really long time . carly : look , the bedroom in the front is bigger , but the one in the back has a beautiful view of the garden , and little john 's room can be right next door as a nursery . jax : why does it have to be today ? carly : well , little john is n't going to be in the hospital forever , and he has to have a house to come home to . i know a perfect place to buy baby furniture , and michael can help me pick things out so he wo n't feel left out . god knows he 's been feeling enough of that lately with his father , so -- jax : you know what ? this is n't about the house . this is not about john . so why do n't you just take a deep breath and -- and tell me what 's really going on ? carly : do you remember when i said that -- um -- the next time i kissed you -- if i kissed you -- it would be because i wanted to ? jax : yes . oh , you know what ? carly , we ca n't do this . carly : i know . i 'm sorry -- i do n't know what i was thinking . you 're not over courtney and you do n't want to be here , starting something with me . jax : oh , do n't -- hold on a second . do n't put words in my mouth . yes , i loved courtney . but , you know , i do n't know how much longer i can be a gentleman if you keep this up . [ jax sighs ] carly : not to put words in your mouth , but you probably think that i 'm on the rebound from sonny . jax : well , that 's a given . carly : no . see , the question is , would i be sitting here right now with you if there were no sonny , and the answer is yes , amazingly enough . and i kind of realized that earlier and i 've been thinking about it the whole way over here and i just have n't really quite made sense of it yet because i used to think that you were totally contemptible . jax : oh . right back at you . carly : cute , but contemptible . and then with , you know , loving courtney and wanting to be a part of her son 's life and doing all that with you and then trying to take over with little john and you not telling me to get lost -- and then watching you want to be such a great father and wanting me to help , i just kind of started to see why courtney was attracted to you and then i kind of found myself liking you and , god help me , wanting you , and i ca n't believe i 'm sitting here telling you all this . jax : carly ? you 're an amazing woman . you really are . but , you know , we 've both been so busy with little john . i mean , i 've barely had time to come up for air and -- carly : yeah , i -- it 's just , it 's too much too soon and it 's kind of -- jax : right . carly : crazy and you probably feel like you are betraying courtney 's memory , so you know what ? i 'm just going to back off , i am . i 'm going to back off . i 'm going to go and we 're just going to keep everything about little john and i 'm just going to back off , ok ? jax : carly , wait . come here . i do n't know what this is . it certainly took me by surprise but , you know , maybe it 's -- maybe it 's loneliness or , i do n't know , maybe this is about courtney and her loss , but i do n't know . let 's just -- let 's just see where this takes us . ok ? as long as it 's not to spite sonny . [ scene_break ] emily : this should give us some privacy , huh ? nikolas : yeah . i know i 've said this a thousand times before , but you 're the last person i should be unloading on . emily : or maybe the best . nikolas . we 've seen each other through so much over the years . nikolas : yeah . emily : i know that this has been a really terrible time for you . nikolas : feel like i 'm in a free - fall . started -- started even before courtney died . started when our marriage fell apart . i -- i used to be in control , emily . i used to know who i was and what i was doing . i did n't -- i did n't slam into churches and make a public spectacle of myself . emily : things are going to get better , nikolas . nikolas : you know , i look at you now and you have a calm and a happiness about you that has n't been there in a really long time . you 've obviously found a way to get your life back in order . emily : i have , and you will , too . nikolas , of course you lost it for a while -- i mean , anybody would . but you 're a survivor . you 've overcome terrible things in your life and you 're going to get through this , too . nikolas : i wish i had your faith . emily : i believe in you , nikolas . i always have . i 'm always here if you need to talk to me .

[ scene_break ] ric : manny needs to be watched . alexis : is that all ? listen , you ca n't make a move on him right now , because if it involves sonny and you put kristina right in the middle . ric : well , she 's already there , alexis . otherwise , manny would n't have taken the time to notice her . alexis : what was he talking to her about ? ric : you . alexis : me ? ric : yeah . he said to kristina how he owed his life to you and how the next time she sees you that she should say hi to you for him . i got a really bad feeling about it and i think he knew it . alexis : well , if jason tries something and he fails , the next time that he approaches kristina , we 're really going to have something to worry about . manny : miss davis . hey , it 's good to see you . alexis : hi , manny . ric : hi , manny . alexis : how are you ? ric : just talking about you , about how friendly you were to kristina . manny : oh , yeah . she 's a lovely girl . you must be really proud . see you . alexis : bye . just ignore him . ric : huh . alexis : just ignore him and let 's hope that jason does the same thing , because the last thing we need to do right now is provoke manny .

[ scene_break ] jason : this guy took almost everyone that i care about and he held them hostage and nearly killed them . he did kill alan -- you know that . sonny : and you want revenge , i get that . jason : yeah , i want revenge . i want him dead ! that 's what i want . sonny : you 're not thinking clearly . jason : what 's there to think about , sonny ? this guy is dangerous . he was at carly 's house . who knows what he would 've done if i had n't shown up . sonny : craig is jax 's brother . i do n't think he would 've hurt carly . jason : ah , you do n't -- you do n't even know that . sonny : he 's less of a threat than alcazar -- that 's what i want you to focus on . jason : screw alcazar at this point . sonny : think about it . alcazar 's the one who tried to poison me . he arranged the ambush at the cellar . he 's the active threat ! the one that needs to be taken down right now . craig can wait . jason : what if you 're wrong ? what if you 're wrong ? what if craig takes another hostage ? what if -- what if he takes carly ? he did pay a lot of attention to her at the metro court , did n't he ? sonny : carly was engaged to jax 's brother , we just did n't know it . now jerry , mr. craig -- whatever the hell he wants to call himself -- is a psychopath . he needs to die eventually . but right now , alcazar needs to die as soon as we can set it up . can you handle it ? can you do the job ?

[ knock on door ] carly : oh . you need to go away . alexis : well , you wo n't have to deal with it because i 'm here to see jax . i want to talk to you about what we talked about before . i want to reinforce something -- that if jerry gets caught , you may very well get charged as his accomplice . sonny : the truth is i do n't believe jax can guarantee his brother 's good behavior any more than i can buy mr. craig reforming himself and playing nice with others . but the thing is , jax believes that he 's going to pull out all the stops to defend his brother . and while he does , mr. craig is going to cooperate . i do n't think he 's going to blow up any buildings , i do n't think he 's going to take anybody hostage , at least for a couple of months , so that buys us time to eliminate alcazar and figure out a way for jax 's brother to die that wo n't come back to bite us . [ scene_break ] jason : what if you 're wrong ? sonny : you know what ; i trust my judgment more than yours on this one . i did n't see my father stumble outside of the lobby doors and have another heart attack . if i had , i probably would n't be thinking clearly myself . alcazar has to die first . jason : but i thought i was supposed to wait for skye to get her daughter back . sonny : i just want you to be ready . i want to help skye . i mean , why would n't i ? but it 's important that alcazar dies clean , quiet , and quick . can you handle it ? jason : yeah , i 'll do my job . i 'm going to do it the way you want . but i want craig dead . sonny : you should want him dead . but you got to be smart . one thing that was true that jax said is , you know , like it or not , we 're all connected . [ scene_break ] emily : hey . is craig around ? nikolas : i have n't seen him . emily : yeah ? hey , well , maybe he 's decided that staying in port charles is n't worth the risk , huh ? nikolas : no . then he would n't have gone to the trouble of framing you for espionage . emily : maybe he needs a little backup insurance . nikolas : just -- i hate this . it 's driving me nuts . emily : nikolas , it 's not as bad as when you were being poisoned . your life is n't on the line every 24 hours , and my fear is manageable . nikolas : yeah . emily : i can push the entire situation to the back of my mind . nikolas : well , that 's until he decides to use his leverage against you . emily : look , craig 's cruel , but he always has a purpose . and if i no longer serve that purpose , then maybe he 's really gone away . [ scene_break ] jerry : you know , i 'd prefer not to return to the life of a permanent fugitive . it gets wearing after a while , and it 's unfair to my brother , you know , for putting his life on hold to bail me out of trouble -- no . amelia : jax did mention something about siberia . jerry : oh . then you know jax . i 'm not surprised . i mean , he has a way to connect with the most beautiful woman amelia : thank you . jerry : yes , you see , james craig was becoming a liability , so -- and i certainly do n't want to waste a perfectly good alibi that could last me a lifetime . excuse me , dear . amelia : you held 15 people hostage for 12 hours in the metro court . they 're going to remember what you look like no matter what your name is . jerry : oh , i do n't know . i mean , whoever -- whoever took these people hostages could easily have been my double , or a sinister master criminal with the same plastic surgeon . i mean , no , i 'm not having the same hairdresser , understand . you know , one size fits all . i mean , there are no prints on file , or no d.n.a . the briefcase blew up . any form of evidence was nicely cleared away and -- and built over . what -- amelia : no ! sam : what are you doing ? jerry : ladies , ladies . the gun . sam : why did you save him ? amelia : i ca n't let you kill another man . [ scene_break ] robin : look , all i want is for you to be honest . patrick : i 've honestly been asking you to move in for months , since before the metro court disaster . robin : because you feel guilty . patrick : why would i feel guilty -- because of a stupid trip to vegas with a buddy of mine ? i 'm over it and you should be , too . robin : i lived here barely 24 hours before you took the next plane to vegas , and then suddenly i 'm shot at the metro court , so obviously you feel like you have to make it up to me by asking me to move in with you . patrick : there 's no connection there , and why are we talking about vegas again ? that was a long time ago . robin : not in noncrisis time , it 's not . patrick : what is that , like daylight savings time ? ro -- we 're great in a crisis . i 'm bleeding on the floor of the metro court lobby , you 're exposed to h.i.v . crisis time , we 're golden . noncrisis time , takeout , great sex , do n't have to be anywhere until 10 : 00 the next morning ? we 're awful at it -- we fight constantly . patrick : you know this is just an excuse for you to walk out . robin : no , it 's reality . we 've survived some very , very tough experiences . i mean , i -- i almost died . but for some reason , you feel obligated to ask me to move in , which is a very big step that you are not ready to take . patrick : okay , you know what ? stop right there . that -- that drives me crazy . you 're not refusing to move in with me because you do n't want to . you 're refusing to move in with me because you think you know what i want better than i do . it 's conniving and contradictory , and obviously you do want to live with me or it would n't be such a big deal . robin : oh . just stop analyzing me for , like , one second . patrick : okay , robin , we are making this way more complicated than it needs to be . we love each other , so we should be together .

[ door opens and closes ] jax : what the hell was that about ? carly : i am so sick of her holier - than - thou interference in my life , and it 's getting worse . she talks me down every time she walks out of a room . i 'm sick of it , jax ! jax : she 's a very good lawyer , and i might need her help . carly : fine . hire her . go ahead . but know it has nothing to do with jerry . it is about undermining our marriage that happens to be under a little stress right now . jax : oh , yeah . poor carly . you just -- you married into this -- you know , this horrible situation with my -- with my ex - wife from hell . god knows you did n't bring any troubles to this marriage at all , did you ? carly : so you think i 'm being unfair ? jax : do n't misunderstand . i appreciate that you saved jerry 's life , okay ? but jason -- he shows up here whenever he wants to , as well . he does and he 's very condescending to me . carly : i would n't sleep with jason . that was a long time ago . jax : well , alexis and i have never actually slept together . she 's just a good friend of mine . look -- okay , she can be a little patronizing , and sometimes very rude to you , as well , and i understand . carly : thank you . jax : but she 's not a threat to our marriage , and she never will be . because i love you , and i 'm committed to you . and i will never let anyone -- not -- not jerry , not alexis -- not anyone come between us . [ scene_break ] amelia : well , it 's just as well we never shot that `` at home with a hero `` piece i wanted to do . this whole `` being held at gunpoint `` thing really would n't have n't helped our numbers . sam : i am really sorry . amelia : oh , please do n't apologize . you 're not responsible for what happens at jason 's penthouse . but we do need to discuss your personal situation soon about this . spinelli : well , the driven one no doubt wishes she had produced a show about remodeling kitchens . sam : hmm . jason : are you okay ? sam : i do n't know , jason . i do n't know how mr. craig -- jerry -- whatever he -- i do n't know how he got in here . spinelli : dude , i tried to get a jump on him , but i -- jason : if he shows up again , you just get out and call for help , all right ? spinelli : okay , i 'm sorry -- i 'm sorry i let you down . i -- i -- i let him storm the gates . i let the evil - doer storm the gates . i 'm sorry , i 'm not worthy . i -- jason : look , i already lost alan to that guy . i 'm not going to lose anybody else . spinelli : but what if craig is jerry ? i mean , what -- what if he actually is ? then , i mean , he 's the brother of the valkyrie 's white knight , right ? and if he does hold damning evidence against noble emily -- i mean , what -- what can you do ? [ scene_break ] robin : i forgot to tell you something . patrick : if it involves the words `` boundaries `` or `` relationship , `` please reconsider . robin : no , i wanted to tell you that -- [ robin sighs ] robin : you make me really happy . truly , deeply happy . happier than i 've been in a really long time . and for that , i thank you . patrick : you know that happiness thing -- it goes both ways . do you think maybe we could go to my bed ? or do we have to stay on the couch so you can pretend you do n't live here ? robin : no , the bed sounds good . but i might have to leave in the morning . [ scene_break ] lorenzo : asegurate que este listo para viajar . inmediatamente . skye : ooh . lorenzo : hey . skye : that sounds promising . lorenzo : you 've been in the bath all this time ? skye : yeah . after that meeting with that covert ops agent , i needed to relax . i will miss that bathtub , let me tell you . that marble floor . the view outside that bathroom . you can see the lights of the city and the harbor . lorenzo : so you were n't always miserable here ? skye : i was hoping to live in this house for a long time . believe it or not , i was very happy . lorenzo : thank you . i 'm glad to hear that . skye : when i think about how different my life was when i first came to port charles -- i was angry , bitter , looking for revenge . always coming in second with family and lovers -- husbands . but i 'm leaving port charles with so much more than i ever could have imagined . and i 'm in love . lorenzo : how can you after all that 's happened ? skye : i never expected perfection . and it 's been tough at times , but look at how much you 've given me . a child that i never thought i could have . and a chance at a fresh start . lorenzo : it 'll be that for both of us . skye : everything that we 've been through just puts everything in perspective . i finally know that i would give up my life to protect lila . now i know that you would , too . [ scene_break ] sonny : skye 's going to call as soon as the kid 's in the house . just be ready , jason . then we 'll discuss what to do about jerry tomorrow . bye . i -- i understand you met with jerry jacks -- james craig -- i do n't know what he calls himself – amelia : until i moved to port charles , i lived and died by ratings . my real life was never actually at risk , unless you count a couple of cab rides in manhattan . but since choosing sam as my new star , i 've been held at gunpoint three times . sonny : maybe you need a new -- new star . amelia : i think that 's a remarkable thing -- believing that you 're going to die . all of your senses are heightened . everything comes into complete focus . when it 's over , when you realize you 're going to live -- [ amelia sighs ] sonny : you only want one thing ? [ scene_break ] carly : guess we had our first big fight . jax : well , it was going to happen eventually . i was just hoping it would be about something a little more mundane . whether or not to move to a bigger house , or if one of us was going to miss a soccer game to go to a business meeting . that kind of thing , you know ? carly : nobody walked out . jax : well , you threatened to . carly : no way was i going to leave my husband . the man i love . the only man who 's perfect for me alone , with his obnoxious ex - wife , who 's putting the moves on him . jax : yeah . i was banking on that . carly : then why did n't you call my bluff ? jax : well , because i would never deliberately embarrass you in front of alexis . especially in front of alexis . and i would never take her side , or anyone else 's , against you . carly : i love you . right or wrong , i 'm always on your side , too . [ scene_break ] jerry : oh , hello . emily : alfred said jerry jacks was waiting . jerry : and he 's standing right in front of you . the plastic surgeon was truly gifted , but i must admit , i prefer this face , do n't you ? nikolas : so that 's who was on the phone . your mother , perhaps ? jane jacks ? i thought the voice sounded familiar . does your brother know ? jerry : yes , but more importantly , jason knows that i 'm jerry , and that emily 's up to her pretty neck in espionage . you see , it 's all about risk assessment , as i told you before . jason presents the most serious risk to my health and well - being . he understands that if i die , emily gets arrested and held as an enemy of the state . i mean , whether she gets a trial or is given a chance to exonerate herself is debatable . in any case , it will be an unpleasant and life - altering experience . so you see , jason will have to work overtime to keep me alive . [ scene_break ] jason : what happened ? sam : oh -- well , i 'll start from the beginning , i suppose . i walked in the door , and mr. craig was standing in here . and he made me get some wine , and i found your gun in the wine cabinet . i went to pull it on him , and amelia -- she stopped me . she said that she could n't stand to see me shoot another man . jason : does n't she understand that craig is dangerous ? sam : yeah -- no -- i do n't know . i do n't know . jason , we live completely different lives than everyone else . i got to tell you , this has been a really long , weird day for me . jason : was there a problem at the studio ? sam : yeah , there was a problem at the studio . we were shooting this piece on domestic abuse and i suppose i lost it a little bit and -- and i kind of flipped out . and i pulled a prop gun on the actor , and then i pointed it at amelia , and she had to sort of snap me out of it , and then she did n't think i was okay to walk home by myself , so she walked me home . and here was mr. craig -- or mr. jacks , or whatever -- do you think he is jax 's brother ? jason : yeah . sam : great . that 's great . so what are you going to do ? jason : whew . i 'm going to check out his story . i 'm going to see if he really has set emily up for espionage . and if he has , i do n't know . i 'll just take it from there . [ next_on ] girl : are you patrick ? patrick : patrick drake . very nice to meet you . sam : you 're quitting ? amelia : your boyfriend is dangerous . you may be all right with that , but i 'm not . sonny : i want alcazar gone without a trace . lorenzo : this really is best for our family . skye 's voice : i am ready to have it over and done with .
robin does not believe she and patrick are any good together when they are not in the middle of a crisis . craig 's mere presence terrifies amelia and sam as they `` chat , `` but when sam goes for a gun , amelia blurts that she does not want to see sam `` kill another man . `` the explanation is that she was referring to when the thugs attacked sam and jason at the studio . spinelli tries to come to the rescue , but craig sees him and promises to shoot if he follows through with swinging the pool cue . sonny tells jason that lorenzo should be the first to die , not craig , and furthermore , he is not sure jason can be neutral enough to keep his cool while killing craig . alexis advises jax that if jerry is busted , jax could be charged as an accomplice and gets him to hire her . carly distrusts her motives , suspecting she wants the same intimacy with jax that she shared with sonny and might also neglect luke 's case with laura in favor of helping jax , or vice versa . skye is able to sneak out , so she runs to sonny to tell him that she should be getting lila back the next day and to go on and kill alcazar after that happens . after alexis leaves , jax and carly argue , but he swears she is the most important person in his life . when jason comes home , craig takes delight in telling him that emily will be destroyed if he is harmed or fails to have a good life . then , he goes home and introduces himself by his proper name to nikolas and emily , ruining their blissful time alone .
<s>[INST] skye : what do you mean , i ca n't leave the house ? lorenzo : we 're leaving for south america tomorrow , where you 're going to be reunited with lila rae . is n't that what really matters ? skye : yes . but you 're asking me to walk out of my life forever in port charles here . i need to make arrangements . lorenzo : skye , if you leave the house now , lila and i will be gone when you get back . [ scene_break ] jax : what kind of insurance could jerry have against jason ? i mean , he 's bluffing . carly : i know that you want there to be some good in jerry , but jason believes that he has to be stopped . jax : well , jason wants revenge for obvious reasons . carly : this is beyond revenge , okay ? jason is going to go after jerry again , and if jason is the one that gets hurt , jax -- jax : you saved jerry 's life tonight . thank you . i really do n't think that jerry 's going to go anywhere near jason . jason : so you want to let craig live ? sonny : what i said was i do n't want you to kill him now . we have other priorities . jason : i do n't . [ scene_break ] jerry : sweet sam . so lovely to see you again . are n't you going to say hello ? i mean , you should thank me . after all , i made you a star . amelia : you must be james craig . the ringleader . you held all those people hostage at the metro court . jerry : ah , the ringleader , really . and you are ? amelia : amelia joffe . i produce `` everyday heroes . `` jerry : oh , then , i 've been a boon to your career , as well , have n't i ? but in the interest of full disclosure , my real name is jerry jacks . [ scene_break ] patrick : so this is how it 's going to be ? you come over , get some good takeout , better sex , we have a disagreement -- correction , a civil discussion that does n't go your way and then you walk out . i ca n't help but feel used . robin : this is n't funny . patrick : who 's laughing ? you say you love me , but -- robin : i do love you . patrick : but you have no faith in me . you refuse to believe that i know what i want or that i can learn from my mistakes . robin : oh . right . fine -- put it all on me . you are just this open , honest , uncomplicated guy who 's just ready for me to move in . patrick : yeah , pretty much . robin : right -- never mind the fact that we work together all day long . you want us to spend all of our time together . you want us to share the same apartment , the same bed , the same kitchen -- i really do n't understand why . is it because i 'm so chipper and sunshiny that you just want to spend all your time with me ? i do n't think so . patrick : i 'm trying to move on . i 'm trying to evolve this . why does that scare you so much ? robin : look me in the eye and tell me that i do n't drive you crazy . patrick : of course you drive me crazy . [ scene_break ] skye : what else do i have to do to prove myself to you ? you 've separated me from my daughter , no retaliation , no attempt to find her on my part . i 've explained myself to you , i 've justified every single move that i 've made . i just ran interference for you with that covert ops agent and probably saved your life . does n't that prove my loyalty to you ? lorenzo : yes , it does . skye : then let me say goodbye to port charles . lorenzo : it 's too dangerous . skye : there are some people in this town who still care about me , you know , despite all the things that i 've done to help you . i have an ex - husband , i have a few good friends -- just -- just let me see them one last time . lorenzo : if people realize that we 're leaving , we could all be killed . i 'm not going to take that risk . skye : i have covered for you for months . no one will suspect anything , okay ? i know what i 'm doing . lorenzo : all right . oh , i do n't want you to feel like a prisoner , skye . skye : then do n't treat me like one . lorenzo : if you agree to stay in the house , i 'll bring lila rae to you . skye : when ? lorenzo : soon . then we can all leave for south america together , okay ? [ scene_break ] jax : i told sonny everything -- that jerry 's craig , that he 's been in town for a while , and i want sonny to leave him alone . carly : ca n't imagine how that went over . jax : well , he did n't -- he did n't like it too much . he was more concerned about you . carly : can you blame him ? sonny was there when jerry shot robin for no reason . and he was there and watched alan forced to walk out of our hotel having a massive heart attack . jax : i know what jerry did was wrong , and if i could change any part of that night , i would , but i ca n't . carly : did sonny tell you how jerry 's men beat him ? jax : no . carly : yeah , they took him to a small room and tied him to a chair . and jerry shot max -- max who works for us at the hotel , who drives our boys around wherever they want to go , and who would truly die for me . jax : yeah , i know that -- look , i know that my brother did a terrible thing , but i really believe that whatever trouble jerry was in , it blew up that night with the briefcase . carly : you are rationalizing . jax : yeah , maybe i am . but whatever jerry 's done , he 's still my brother , and i ca n't just turn my back on him . [ scene_break ] jason : this guy took almost everyone that i care about and he held them hostage and nearly killed them . he did kill alan -- you know that . sonny : and you want revenge , i get that . jason : yeah , i want revenge . i want him dead ! that 's what i want . sonny : you 're not thinking clearly . jason : what 's there to think about , sonny ? this guy is dangerous . he was at carly 's house . who knows what he would 've done if i had n't shown up . sonny : craig is jax 's brother . i do n't think he would 've hurt carly . jason : ah , you do n't -- you do n't even know that . sonny : he 's less of a threat than alcazar -- that 's what i want you to focus on . jason : screw alcazar at this point . sonny : think about it . alcazar 's the one who tried to poison me . he arranged the ambush at the cellar . he 's the active threat ! the one that needs to be taken down right now . craig can wait . jason : what if you 're wrong ? what if you 're wrong ? what if craig takes another hostage ? what if -- what if he takes carly ? he did pay a lot of attention to her at the metro court , did n't he ? sonny : carly was engaged to jax 's brother , we just did n't know it . now jerry , mr. craig -- whatever the hell he wants to call himself -- is a psychopath . he needs to die eventually . but right now , alcazar needs to die as soon as we can set it up . can you handle it ? can you do the job ? [ scene_break ] jerry : take a seat , both of you . make yourselves comfortable . we 're going to be here a while . amelia : so you 're -- you 're jerry jacks -- as in jasper jacks ? jerry : bingo . he 's my kid brother . amelia : well , then , why did you hold 15 people hostage in his hotel and then blow it up ? jerry : oh , nosy , nosy . well , the metro court certainly was n't my first choice . i mean , i 'm more of a five - star kind of man , you know . but what could i do ? the briefcase was there . sam : what do you want ? jerry : she 's awfully volatile and naughty , that one , do n't you think ? i need to have a little chat with your brooding boyfriend about all the reasons why he is n't going to kill me . and if you 're not going to sit down , why do n't you fetch that wine you were going to serve your boss . i think we 'd all enjoy a glass . do n't you think ? go . [ scene_break ] jax : jerry , it 's jax . we need to talk , figure out who knows what . so call me as soon as you get this and come back by carly 's house , okay ? carly : i 'm so glad my boys are at sonny 's . jax : do you want us to meet someplace else ? carly : where ? no place is safe with jerry . i know you refuse to believe that , but it 's the truth . jax : can we stop fighting about this ? [ knock on door ] carly : oh . you need to go away . alexis : well , you wo n't have to deal with it because i 'm here to see jax . i want to talk to you about what we talked about before . i want to reinforce something -- that if jerry gets caught , you may very well get charged as his accomplice . sonny : the truth is i do n't believe jax can guarantee his brother 's good behavior any more than i can buy mr. craig reforming himself and playing nice with others . but the thing is , jax believes that he 's going to pull out all the stops to defend his brother . and while he does , mr. craig is going to cooperate . i do n't think he 's going to blow up any buildings , i do n't think he 's going to take anybody hostage , at least for a couple of months , so that buys us time to eliminate alcazar and figure out a way for jax 's brother to die that wo n't come back to bite us . [ scene_break ] jason : what if you 're wrong ? sonny : you know what ; i trust my judgment more than yours on this one . i did n't see my father stumble outside of the lobby doors and have another heart attack . if i had , i probably would n't be thinking clearly myself . alcazar has to die first . jason : but i thought i was supposed to wait for skye to get her daughter back . sonny : i just want you to be ready . i want to help skye . i mean , why would n't i ? but it 's important that alcazar dies clean , quiet , and quick . can you handle it ? jason : yeah , i 'll do my job . i 'm going to do it the way you want . but i want craig dead . sonny : you should want him dead . but you got to be smart . one thing that was true that jax said is , you know , like it or not , we 're all connected . [ scene_break ] emily : hey . is craig around ? nikolas : i have n't seen him . emily : yeah ? hey , well , maybe he 's decided that staying in port charles is n't worth the risk , huh ? nikolas : no . then he would n't have gone to the trouble of framing you for espionage . emily : maybe he needs a little backup insurance . nikolas : just -- i hate this . it 's driving me nuts . emily : nikolas , it 's not as bad as when you were being poisoned . your life is n't on the line every 24 hours , and my fear is manageable . nikolas : yeah . emily : i can push the entire situation to the back of my mind . nikolas : well , that 's until he decides to use his leverage against you . emily : look , craig 's cruel , but he always has a purpose . and if i no longer serve that purpose , then maybe he 's really gone away . [ scene_break ] jerry : you know , i 'd prefer not to return to the life of a permanent fugitive . it gets wearing after a while , and it 's unfair to my brother , you know , for putting his life on hold to bail me out of trouble -- no . amelia : jax did mention something about siberia . jerry : oh . then you know jax . i 'm not surprised . i mean , he has a way to connect with the most beautiful woman amelia : thank you . jerry : yes , you see , james craig was becoming a liability , so -- and i certainly do n't want to waste a perfectly good alibi that could last me a lifetime . excuse me , dear . amelia : you held 15 people hostage for 12 hours in the metro court . they 're going to remember what you look like no matter what your name is . jerry : oh , i do n't know . i mean , whoever -- whoever took these people hostages could easily have been my double , or a sinister master criminal with the same plastic surgeon . i mean , no , i 'm not having the same hairdresser , understand . you know , one size fits all . i mean , there are no prints on file , or no d.n.a . the briefcase blew up . any form of evidence was nicely cleared away and -- and built over . what -- amelia : no ! sam : what are you doing ? jerry : ladies , ladies . the gun . sam : why did you save him ? amelia : i ca n't let you kill another man . [ scene_break ] robin : look , all i want is for you to be honest . patrick : i 've honestly been asking you to move in for months , since before the metro court disaster . robin : because you feel guilty . patrick : why would i feel guilty -- because of a stupid trip to vegas with a buddy of mine ? i 'm over it and you should be , too . robin : i lived here barely 24 hours before you took the next plane to vegas , and then suddenly i 'm shot at the metro court , so obviously you feel like you have to make it up to me by asking me to move in with you . patrick : there 's no connection there , and why are we talking about vegas again ? that was a long time ago . robin : not in noncrisis time , it 's not . patrick : what is that , like daylight savings time ? ro -- we 're great in a crisis . i 'm bleeding on the floor of the metro court lobby , you 're exposed to h.i.v . crisis time , we 're golden . noncrisis time , takeout , great sex , do n't have to be anywhere until 10 : 00 the next morning ? we 're awful at it -- we fight constantly . patrick : you know this is just an excuse for you to walk out . robin : no , it 's reality . we 've survived some very , very tough experiences . i mean , i -- i almost died . but for some reason , you feel obligated to ask me to move in , which is a very big step that you are not ready to take . patrick : okay , you know what ? stop right there . that -- that drives me crazy . you 're not refusing to move in with me because you do n't want to . you 're refusing to move in with me because you think you know what i want better than i do . it 's conniving and contradictory , and obviously you do want to live with me or it would n't be such a big deal . robin : oh . just stop analyzing me for , like , one second . patrick : okay , robin , we are making this way more complicated than it needs to be . we love each other , so we should be together . [ scene_break ] nikolas : it -- it would be so much simpler for him to implicate me for espionage instead of you . i mean , i 'm -- i 'm the one who set up his paperwork . no , he seemed -- he seemed to imply that you would be useful to him outside of the money transfer . emily : right , as leverage against jason . he does n't want my brother hunting him down . nikolas : and that 's okay with you ? emily : nikolas , i refuse to give craig any more power in my life . hey , i want to savor every moment with you . we 're together , we survived . i want to be happy now today instead of worrying about what might go wrong in the future . nikolas : i ca n't pretend that you 're not in danger here . i have to find a way to get rid of craig once and for all . emily : how are you going to do that ? nikolas : i do n't -- i do n't know . but the key is , is to these people who call him sometimes . i -- i do n't know who they are , but he cares about them . [ scene_break ] jax : i am not helping jerry with anything that 's illegal . alexis : he 's a fugitive , jax . you had contact with him already and you did n't alert the authorities . that 's aiding and abetting . jax : what do you expect me to do , alexis ? alexis : i want you to hire me , because at least that way , i can protect you in case he gets apprehended . carly : wow , so what are you going to do , alexis ? do you have a plan ? alexis : that would be confidential if this is official . carly : how did you find out that jerry was mr. craig ? alexis : sonny told me . jax : are you sure you 're strong enough to take this on ? alexis : i am feeling better every day . carly : okay , what about laura ? alexis : what about her ? carly : well , i heard that you were fighting scott baldwin so nikolas could remain laura 's legal guardian . that 's a very important case to my family , so i 'm just wondering which case is going to take priority -- laura or jax ? alexis : i love it when you 're a spencer whenever it suits you . carly : i know what you 're doing , okay ? you are deliberately trying to take on too much , too soon so you can play this whole long - suffering - attorney thing so you can call jax over to your house in the middle of the night for one crisis or another . [ missing ] to jax than i am . alexis : i do n't even know where to start with that . carly : sure you do , because we 've been through this before -- when you were sonny 's attorney ? when you were sonny 's good friend , but what you really wanted was to fall into bed with him ?

[ scene_break ] robin : well , if you have honestly found love again , then i could n't be happier for you . sonny : well , there 's no ifs . kate is the woman i want to spend the rest of my life with . robin : i 'm sorry if that sounded condescending . sonny : no . robin : i did n't mean it that way . i do n't know kate . i just do n't want you to get hurt . sonny : kate 's not like carly . i mean , we support each other . we do n't tear each other down to prove our love because it is already there , without the pain and the anger . robin : but love can be confusing even at the best of times . sonny : i 'm not mixed up here . it is not like a manic thing . but you seem to think that i do n't know how i really feel about the woman i 'm marrying . robin : no , i just know how you are when you lose someone that you love . sonny : yeah . robin : i saw you go though it with stone . and michael was your son , adopted or not . so , your feelings for kate aside , is it possible that you 're drawn to a life with her because it has nothing to do with your painful history with carly ? [ scene_break ] carly : kate already got jax to invest in her magazine . she has him dropping everything and running off for one so - called business event after another . she 's probably trashing me right now on the way to manhattan . jason : carly , you 're so paranoid ? carly : with good reason . kate kissed jax . next she 's going to try and get him into bed , jason . jason : kate is engaged to sonny . carly : oh , whatever . that marriage is a train wreck waiting to happen , and you know it as well as i do . jason : who sonny marries does n't concern you anymore . you moved on , remember ? carly : it 's not about that , jason . kate is trying to get to me , and she 's using my husband to do it , and i 'm going to beat her to the punch . jason : okay , you keep this up , you 're going to make sonny mad enough that he 's going to tell jax about what happened in the back of that limo . is that what you 're hoping for ? i mean , do you want jax to know that you slept with sonny ?

[ scene_break ] lulu : what makes you think we could ever get back what we had ? logan : lulu , you were the one that made me believe in second chances . i came back from iraq hating myself for what i did over there . no one understood what it was like for me to leave home one person , and come back a completely different person , all right ? i was angry and on edge all the time . but you saw past that . you saw the real me buried beneath all the attitude . i can still remember that night , the surprise in your voice when you called me nice . lulu , i know i can be a better person if i 'm with you . okay , i just need one last chance to make things right . please . all right , just say -- just say that you 'll try again , okay ? [ scene_break ] kate : so , we should just focus on `` crimson `` tonight . if anybody asks to confirm rumors of my engagement , just say , `` no comment , `` and leave it at that . jax : when did marrying sonny become a secret ? kate : no , it 's not a secret . it 's just that in this business , one should keep a mystique about these things . jax : oh . kate : showing up at a splashy party with a ring on my finger , refusing to confirm or deny rumors of an engagement will only generate a buzz . my upcoming nuptials , by extension of the magazine , will be all that anyone is talking about , until the official announcement is made , which should coincide with the premiere issue of `` crimson . `` jax : now , i 'm getting a little confused . are you marrying sonny out of love or because it would generate publicity ? kate : you did not just ask me that . jax : okay , obviously it 's the latter . kate : look , jax , for both of us , fortunately , one is a by - product of the other , right ? you get a sizable return on your investment . i get to have a successful career and a very , very satisfying personal life . jax : well , i have to tell people that i 'm already happily married to be taken off the potential husband list , you know . i do n't want my wife reading about my supposed engagement to another woman . that just would n't be right , so i ca n't really go along with that . kate : okay , do n't move . jax : what ? kate : stop it . i lost my ring , and if it falls between the cracks , we 're going to have to pull the whole car apart , and i do n't want to do that . so , i think -- jax , just sit -- stay still . jax : okay . [ scene_break ] robin : i felt so , um , empty when stone died . it did n't seem fair that i had to go on living , when all i really wanted to do was just lay down and cry . sonny : who would have blamed you ? robin : stone deserved better than that . sonny : yeah . robin : he wanted me to go on . he wanted me to live out my dreams and our dams . but , you know , everywhere i went , it was a reminder of him . some smell or something -- it just became too much . i felt really alone when all i had around me was love and support -- you and brenda . sonny : we tried . robin : which i 'm sure is what a lot of people who love michael are trying to do with you . but it does n't really help , does it ? sonny : no . robin : it did n't help either . nothing really helped me until i met jason . and that was because he was completely unconnected to stone 's life . there were no good intentions or sad looks . i could just relax and be with him . i mean , do n't get me wrong . the pain did not go away , but it gave me something else to focus on . someone new to get to know and to spend time with . sonny : it 's not really the same because kate was there when michael got shot . she felt his loss , too . robin : yeah , but he was not the center of her world , like he is with you and carly . you do n't have to take care of her feelings . she 's free to take care of yours , to distract you and love you . marrying kate represents a whole new direction in your life , which is something you need right now . sonny : kate and i are connected in a way that i ca n't explain . familiar , comfortable . robin : you think you knew her in a past life or something ? sonny : yeah , something like that . i just want her with me in this one . robin : well , then , i guess congratulations are in order . all right , well , i got to get back to the hospital . and you have a wedding to plan . sonny : i do , you know , i do n't -- i just do n't know where to start . you know , it 's like -- robin : okay , well , what do you think ? what kind of food would you and kate have enjoyed in your past life ? sonny : italian . robin : there you go . that 's a good start . mmm . you know , i really hope this works out for you . you deserve to be happy . sonny : bye .

[ scene_break ] johnny : we should get you to a hospital , get you checked out . maxie : no , i will be fine once the room stops spinning . johnny : what do you remember ? maxie : kate was getting ready for the benefit at the museum , and logan showed up . he started professing his undying love for lulu , going on and on like a crazy stalker , saying how they should be together . and lulu blew him off , and then logan got pissed . he came back here when he knew everyone was gone -- started railing on me for ruining his life . i tried to call security . that 's when he grabbed me . i tried to fight back , but he was really strong . johnny : what 's the last thing you remember ? maxie : um , logan standing over me . i was n't sure if he was going to rape me or kill me , probably both . i think someone was watching . johnny : how do you know ? maxie : well , he could n't stop staring out the window . [ scene_break ] logan : you 're the best thing that 's ever happened to me , i can not lose you , not like this , okay ? all i need is just one last chance to just make things right . lulu : and i want to believe that -- i 've missed you . logan : good . what 's wrong ? lulu : nothing . logan : do n't lie to me . lulu : i 'm not . logan : you 're holding back . lulu : no , no , no , i just -- i just want to take things slowly at this -- logan : all you care about is johnny . you never gave a damn about me . lulu : no !

[ scene_break ] carly : it is past time i knock kate howard off her pedestal . i want the worst kind of dirt you can dig up . the more scandalous the better . spinelli : with all due respect to the vengeful valkyrie , the jackal is not sure that he should be assisting in this particular act of cyber subterfuge mr. sir will no doubt seek retribution when he learns that the fashionista 's most private secrets have been unearthed , and given that the jackal 's head has already been slammed into the wall rather forcefully , he is understandably reticent to invoke mr. sir 's wrath , yet again . carly : i do n't give a damn about sonny . kate howard put her lips on my husband , and i am going to make her pay .

[ scene_break ] claudia : would it have killed you to take my side , to actually hear me out , instead of dismissing me ? i mean , i 'm your blood . i 'm your daughter . anthony : you 're a disgrace . what decent , respectable girl seduces a grown man ? claudia : what grown man takes a little girl up on an offer like that ? mommy was trying to warn you about him for years , and you would not listen to her . anthony : domenica was an ambitious woman . she started getting ideas , wanting to do things her own way . claudia : mommy could see that trevor was a threat , and she was trying to protect us . and what did you do ? you sent her away . you threw her away . got rid of her . and then you held on to me just to spite her . it was never about love . you never gave a damn about me . never . and then i was just the girl that reminded you of somebody that you used to love , who dared to speak up , who dared to voice her opinions loud enough to be heard over trevor 's lies . anthony : domenica forgot her place . she overstepped , just like you did with john . it was unhealthy the way you latched on to him the minute he was born . claudia : unhealthy ? daddy , you are the one who was so jealous of your own son that you tried to shoot him . you tried to kill him . and you killed his mother instead . and for all i know -- all i know , trevor 's the one who set that up , too . so that he could get control . i just knew that if i did n't do something , johnny was going to end up with nothing . there would be nothing left for him . anthony : oh , please . spare me your sisterly devotion . you 're as power hungry as your mother . you saw trevor as a way in and you threw yourself at him , like the slut you are . claudia : i did n't offer anything to trevor that he was n't already trying to get on his own . i saw the way that he looked at me . and i figured -- i thought -- i was naive enough to believe that if i got him in bed , and you walked in at just the right time , that you would see him for the scum that he was , and you would get rid of him , but you got rid of me instead . [ scene_break ] kate : you know i consider you more than just a business partner , right ? you 're my friend . i mean , you know my secrets . you 've never once tried to use them against me , nor would you ever . which is not who you are . and that brings me to my question . how did a man like you end up married to a woman like carly ? jax : why would n't i be with her ? kate : uh , ahem , well , let 's see . you 're sophisticated . you 're well - traveled . you 're well - read . and above all a gentleman . on the other hand , carly is difficult on a good day . jax : well , she has n't had many opportunities to have good days . you know , with the miscarriage , and now michael being in a coma , she 's overwhelmed , kate . kate : yes , i know , jax . but are you telling me that she never threw a tantrum or had a fit before ? jax : oh , kate . it 's no secret there 's no love lost between the two of you , so -- kate : oh , really ? jax : yeah . kate : whatever gave you that impression ? jax : well , i just -- i see a different side of her , okay ? kate : okay . jax : okay . kate : i 'm just going to say that she is very , very fortunate to have such a patient and tolerant husband . not to mention , supportive and forgiving . jax : before you put me up for sainthood , i have to remind you that carly 's jealousy is n't entirely unfounded . we did share that one kiss . kate : no , you 're right . you 're right . it 's true . but that is all in the past , right ? jax : right . kate : i am committed to spending my life with sonny , and let 's just hope , for everyone 's sake , that carly calms down and just lets everyone be happy . [ scene_break ] jason : how is digging up kate 's past going to help anything ? carly : because when i find out what she 's been hiding , i 'm going to use it to run her out of town . my only decision now , do i do it quiet and nice or do i publicly humiliate her in the press ? jason : you know that trashing kate is only going to provoke sonny . carly : i do n't care . let sonny be as mad as he wants . jason : carly . carly : kate is a shameless , social climber and she does n't give a damn about sonny . if she did , she would n't be trying to work my husband . jason : all i 'm saying is if you attack kate , you know sonny , and jax probably , is going to step up to defend her . carly : well , you know what ? they 're going to have to do it long distance . jax and sonny will be better off with kate out of town .

'cause i 'll back him off . robin : no , no . sonny : all you got to do is -- robin : it 's fine . that 's very sweet , but not necessary . believe me , i have my uncle mac and my mom interfering so much that i 'm practically tripping over them . sonny : well , if you change your mind , you know where to come , yeah ? right here . robin : thank you . sonny : all right . robin : that 's not why i came , not to ask you for help with patrick . sonny : why ? robin : maxie mentioned that you are getting married to kate howard . sonny : yes . the ceremony is in the fall . robin : that soon ? sonny : yeah . robin : well , that 's great . i hope that the two of you will be very happy . sonny : why do you sound like you do n't mean it ?

[ banging ] [ scene_break ] claudia : trevor was an opportunist . i was just a kid . anthony : you were old enough to know better . but i should n't have been surprised . you take after your mother . not just in the way you look , but how your mind works . scheming every minute . you 're always up to something . i could see it even back then . claudia : oh , i do n't how that 's possible since you never even noticed me . anthony : i saw enough to know you could n't be trusted . like that whole painfully shy thing you were going through . that was just an excuse to stay close to john . you had this unnatural attachment to him ever since he was a baby . maria , god bless her soul , thought it was sweet . she told me to lay off . and to my everlasting regret , i did . i let john become dependent on you . claudia : i was protecting him because i knew johnny would feel just as lost and out of control in that house as i did . anthony : you got your control , though , did n't you ? as soon as you hit puberty , you started working trevor every chance you got . claudia : you need to understand this . he was the one who came after me . always finding ways to touch me and tell me how beautiful i was becoming and how quickly i was growing up . anthony : claudia , if you put your stuff on display in front of a man long enough , he 's going to want a taste . trevor walked right into your trap . the second i saw you together , i knew that my attorney was a sucker and my daughter was a tramp . and you stayed one . and if you got any doubts about that , look in the mirror . you came back to this town nothing more than a promise fulfilled . [ scene_break ] sonny : the reason i ask is , you know , is because getting married to kate is n't necessarily getting a round of applause . robin : i take it carly 's not too thrilled about it . sonny : carly . and jason . and that hurts . because they think that i 'm hiding from what happened to michael , which is totally ridiculous because my son ' lying in a coma . he 's on my mind from the minute i wake up in the morning to the minute i go to sleep at night . robin : you do not have to sell me on how much you love michael or how your heart is breaking over what happened . that 's the reason you retired from the mob , right ? sonny : oh , i guess the word 's out . [ robin laughs ] robin : well , here 's the thing . my uncle mac , he makes me come over to his house every sunday for dinner . sometimes maxie is there . and , you know , to keep him from interrogating us about our love lives , i.e . , my constant drama with patrick , we get him to talk about work . sonny : right . robin : and when he mentioned that you had apparently retired , and jason was taking over things and that you were going legitimate , i have to say i was so happy for you . i actually came over here to say congratulations , but then i thought maybe that 's not the right thing to say . i do n't know how the mob works . i really do n't want to know , but anyway , i 'm happy that you 're free of it . sonny : you , kate , mike , and ric , of all people , are supportive . everybody else thinks i 'm making a mistake and it 's not going to last long . robin : well , sonny , i hope that they 're wrong . sonny : well -- robin : because , you , i mean , after all this time , you finally have a chance at a real future . and i know that somewhere , stone is cheering you on . sonny : you think so ? well , i 'd like to think so . robin : i know it 's not going to be easy . i know that you still have enemies . sonny : jason 's dealing with that right now . robin : and hopefully someday he will make the same decision that you did . sonny : i do n't know if i 'd count on that , 'cause he 's settling in pretty comfortable in his new job . robin : well , maybe getting deeper into the mob is his way of dealing with what happened to michael . and maybe marrying kate is yours . sonny : one does n't have anything to do with the other . robin : listen , i know you , okay ? and i know that you will carry the guilt of what happened to michael with you until the day that you die . but in the meantime , you have to find a way to just , you know , live with it . and maybe right now , kate is the answer . sonny : robin , that is not why i 'm marrying kate . robin : are you sure ? [ scene_break ] carly : why are n't you typing ? let 's start with her bank accounts . let 's see how many other deserving jerks , like trevor , gave kate a leg up . i mean , when sonny finds out that kate bought her career on her back , he 's going to toss her out like garbage . spinelli : the jackal is more than happy to do a pass on the fashionista 's accounts . carly : forget a pass ; i want you to go as far back as kindergarten . i want to find out what she 's hiding . jason : okay , you know , spinelli , why do n't you take off , okay ? because i really need to talk to carly . spinelli : the master 's wish is my command . jason : mm - hmm . carly : you 're not going to talk me out of this . jason : hey , if you want to go after kate , go after kate . do n't use spinelli to do it . carly : fine , i 'll find another p.i . jason : carly , why is this so important to you ? carly : because kate kissed jax . jason : you had sex with sonny . which is worse ? carly : no one regrets what happened in that limo more than i do . i should have never had sex with sonny . jason : but you did . carly : it was n't something i planned , jason . no matter what sonny thinks , i did n't seduce him any more than i was trying to punish him . come on . sonny and i were devastated after leaving michael in that institute . and , you know , we turned to each other , and it was something that happened , and it was wrong . and if i could take it back , i would . but i ca n't . i only pray that jax does n't find out about it . jason : well , then maybe you should focus on keeping your own secrets , instead of digging up somebody else 's . carly : kate howard kissed jax to spite me . she is trying to ruin my life and ruin my marriage . i am going to ruin hers first . you are my best friend . you 're supposed to be on my side . [ scene_break ] robin : you 're still in mourning . you know , being tied up in that kind of emotional knot does n't allow for the best decision - making . sonny : you 're not telling me that you agree with carly and jason , that it would be an insult to michael to get married ? [ telephone rings ] sonny : hello . kate : did you get my package ? sonny : yeah , i got it . it 's right in front of me . are you still at the benefit ? kate : no , not yet . we 're just about to land . jax is in with the pilot . so i thought i 'd check in and see what the menu has been narrowed down to . sonny : well , i have n't had time to , you know , check it out . kate : oh , well in case you have plans of boring yourself to sleep with the endless possibilities , you should know that when the benefit is finished , jax and i are heading right back . so should i go home , or slip in quietly next to you ? sonny : well , what do you think ? kate : well , never hurts to ask . sonny : i 'll be waiting . robin : kate ? sonny : you know how i know it 's love ? when i hear her voice , it makes me happy . [ scene_break ] anthony : i knew the minute i walked in , it was a setup . that you were the one who came on to trevor , hoping i would fly off the handle and kill him . claudia : why did i ever think that you would protect me ? it 's crazy -- i know you being my father and all . anthony : if i ever thought that trevor had forced himself on you in any way , i would have choked the bastard with my bare hands . but i knew it was no coincidence that i found you in the study at the same time maria was out in the garden . you knew i liked to watch her from the window in there . you put on that whole big show with trevor just for my benefit . claudia : no one ever said i was stupid , daddy , just too sentimental for own good . i was counting on the fact that i 'm your child . i know it 's crazy . i thought that you might actually be concerned for me , somewhere . anthony : you know why i sent you away ? johnny was impressionable . i was concerned that you 'd start manipulating him like you tried to do with me . so i got you out of the house before you could turn on me and your brother . claudia : i would never hurt johnny . [ anthony laughs ] anthony : you got him implicated in the whole corinthos kid 's shooting . claudia , did you ever once stop to think that it could get your brother killed ? claudia : did you ever once stop to think it 's not just john ? it 's me , too , daddy . if jason morgan finds out that i hired ian , there 's going to be a great big target painted on my back . not that you care . why would you care ? you 're the one who sent that hit man to get me . are n't you ? what 's the matter , daddy ? ca n't do it yourself ? you want me out of johnny 's life ? is that what you want ? here , go ahead , do it . what are you waiting for ? johnny : what the hell 's going on ?

[ scene_break ] lulu : what makes you think we could ever get back what we had ? logan : lulu , you were the one that made me believe in second chances . i came back from iraq hating myself for what i did over there . no one understood what it was like for me to leave home one person , and come back a completely different person , all right ? i was angry and on edge all the time . but you saw past that . you saw the real me buried beneath all the attitude . i can still remember that night , the surprise in your voice when you called me nice . lulu , i know i can be a better person if i 'm with you . okay , i just need one last chance to make things right . please . all right , just say -- just say that you 'll try again , okay ? [ scene_break ] kate : so , we should just focus on `` crimson `` tonight . if anybody asks to confirm rumors of my engagement , just say , `` no comment , `` and leave it at that . jax : when did marrying sonny become a secret ? kate : no , it 's not a secret . it 's just that in this business , one should keep a mystique about these things . jax : oh . kate : showing up at a splashy party with a ring on my finger , refusing to confirm or deny rumors of an engagement will only generate a buzz . my upcoming nuptials , by extension of the magazine , will be all that anyone is talking about , until the official announcement is made , which should coincide with the premiere issue of `` crimson . `` jax : now , i 'm getting a little confused . are you marrying sonny out of love or because it would generate publicity ? kate : you did not just ask me that . jax : okay , obviously it 's the latter . kate : look , jax , for both of us , fortunately , one is a by - product of the other , right ? you get a sizable return on your investment . i get to have a successful career and a very , very satisfying personal life . jax : well , i have to tell people that i 'm already happily married to be taken off the potential husband list , you know . i do n't want my wife reading about my supposed engagement to another woman . that just would n't be right , so i ca n't really go along with that . kate : okay , do n't move . jax : what ? kate : stop it . i lost my ring , and if it falls between the cracks , we 're going to have to pull the whole car apart , and i do n't want to do that . so , i think -- jax , just sit -- stay still . jax : okay . [ scene_break ] robin : i felt so , um , empty when stone died . it did n't seem fair that i had to go on living , when all i really wanted to do was just lay down and cry . sonny : who would have blamed you ? robin : stone deserved better than that . sonny : yeah . robin : he wanted me to go on . he wanted me to live out my dreams and our dams . but , you know , everywhere i went , it was a reminder of him . some smell or something -- it just became too much . i felt really alone when all i had around me was love and support -- you and brenda . sonny : we tried . robin : which i 'm sure is what a lot of people who love michael are trying to do with you . but it does n't really help , does it ? sonny : no . robin : it did n't help either . nothing really helped me until i met jason . and that was because he was completely unconnected to stone 's life . there were no good intentions or sad looks . i could just relax and be with him . i mean , do n't get me wrong . the pain did not go away , but it gave me something else to focus on . someone new to get to know and to spend time with . sonny : it 's not really the same because kate was there when michael got shot . she felt his loss , too . robin : yeah , but he was not the center of her world , like he is with you and carly . you do n't have to take care of her feelings . she 's free to take care of yours , to distract you and love you . marrying kate represents a whole new direction in your life , which is something you need right now . sonny : kate and i are connected in a way that i ca n't explain . familiar , comfortable . robin : you think you knew her in a past life or something ? sonny : yeah , something like that . i just want her with me in this one . robin : well , then , i guess congratulations are in order . all right , well , i got to get back to the hospital . and you have a wedding to plan . sonny : i do , you know , i do n't -- i just do n't know where to start . you know , it 's like -- robin : okay , well , what do you think ? what kind of food would you and kate have enjoyed in your past life ? sonny : italian . robin : there you go . that 's a good start . mmm . you know , i really hope this works out for you . you deserve to be happy . sonny : bye .

[ scene_break ] elizabeth : maybe nikolas ' feelings for me did push lucky over the edge , but we did not put that drink in his hand . lulu : which lets you both totally off the hook ? elizabeth : no . no , that is not what i 'm saying . when lucky was taking pills , i turned my life upside down to keep him clean and sober . i moved cameron out of my apartment . i devoted myself to lucky 24/7 , and you know what , he got sicker . every time i tried to protect him , i got in the way of his recovery . i 've learned my lesson . lulu : okay . well , we need a plan . and i tried talking to him , and i got nowhere . elizabeth : okay , maybe -- maybe you and i should just go to the haunted star and tell him how much we love him . nikolas : i 'll tell him that if he wants me to leave after all , then that 's what i 'll do . elizabeth : maybe we just need to remind him how much he has to lose . how much we will all lose if he does n't get into recovery . 'cause you need your big brother , you need your brother who also happens to be your best friend and the kids and i need lucky . we 're family . he needs to know that we 're gon na support him every step of the way . lulu : i hope that 's enough . [ scene_break ] luke : i know it 's not easy to wrap your head around this kind of betrayal . lucky . it 's weird . it 's weird how denial works .

[ sighs ] yeah . i just turned around and left . they did n't even know i was n't there . luke : at are you gon na do now ? lucky : i think i 'll just sit here and drink . is n't that a song ? luke : [ chuckles ] it is . merle haggard . yeah . lucky : yeah ? luke : i used to love that song . i played it a lot when we were in texas . how do you remember that ? you were just a baby . lucky : i do n't know . listen , dad , i 'm sorry for shutting you out , for throwing your concern for me right back in your face . for treating you like the enemy when ... the enemies were right beside me all along .

[ scene_break ] jason : sonny and i , we both appreciate that you 've kept quiet for this long . maxie : you 're welcome . but as long as we 're talking about it , are you gon na tell me why michael was with sonny that night ? jason : michael was n't in the car . you did n't see him . remember ? maxie : okay , why was sonny driving michael 's car ? what do if they ask me that question ? jason : you say that you do n't know . but you do n't even hint that you saw michael . maxie : all right , fine . i do n't want to make michael 's life any more difficult than it already is . jason : i appreciate that . maxie : are we done here ? because kate 's already called me twice , and i need to get back to the office and make sure that overnight package went out . jason : yeah . can you just remember what we said ? maxie : yes . sonny was in the car alone and there was a bloody hand print on his shirt . sam : yeah , you might want to practice answering a few questions just so you have it down . maxie : i can come back later and you can test me if you want to . but i 'm a pretty good liar . i mean , i was until i met spinelli . but i heard it 's like riding a bike or using a curling iron or whatever . i 'll talk to you guys later .

[ lulu sighs ] lulu : nikolas is in love with it elizabeth . and she 's not in love with him . and lucky found out . and nikolas was gon na do the noble thing and leave town , and i convinced lucky to say good - bye , which was really selfish of me . dominic : you wanted your family to get along . that 's not selfish . lulu : well , lucky ended up convincing him to stay , which i thought was great until i realized what it would cost lucky . dominic : blaming yourself ... your father was an alcoholic , right ? lulu : when he was around , which was seldom . dominic : it was n't your fault . neither is lucky picking up a drink . lulu : yeah , well , it feels like my fault . because i love lucky and i want the best for him and he deserves the best , and he 's on the verge of having everything he 's ever wanted . and i do n't know why he 's gon na throw that away .

[ sniffles ] and my parents ' great love crashed and burned , and now lucky 's has , too . and i just do n't want him to use it as an excuse to be a drunk the rest of his life . dominic : you are way too cynical . lulu : no , i think that this is a reality check that i needed . i was starting to get sentimental about us , but i think you 're right about us getting too close . you came to port charles to bust sonny at any cost , and i think you need to finish the job and move on . [ sniffles ] [ scene_break ] lucky : a safe haven . that 's what that house was for me . one place where i did n't have to be on the defensive or look over my shoulder , scout out the nearest exit , but that is exactly what i should have been doing all along . luke : you put your heart and your soul on the line for your love with elizabeth . i admire that . i admire that commitment . i admire the chances that you took . you 're fearless . lucky : well , i guess we 're about to find out . luke : hey . i thought you were gon na stay here and drink . lucky : i 've got someplace i need to be .

'cause you need your big brother , you need your brother who also happens to be your best friend and the kids and i need lucky . we 're family . he needs to know that we 're gon na support him every step of the way . lulu : i hope that 's enough . [ scene_break ] luke : i know it 's not easy to wrap your head around this kind of betrayal . lucky . it 's weird . it 's weird how denial works .

[ lulu sighs ] lulu : nikolas is in love with it elizabeth . and she 's not in love with him . and lucky found out . and nikolas was gon na do the noble thing and leave town , and i convinced lucky to say good - bye , which was really selfish of me . dominic : you wanted your family to get along . that 's not selfish . lulu : well , lucky ended up convincing him to stay , which i thought was great until i realized what it would cost lucky . dominic : blaming yourself ... your father was an alcoholic , right ? lulu : when he was around , which was seldom . dominic : it was n't your fault . neither is lucky picking up a drink . lulu : yeah , well , it feels like my fault . because i love lucky and i want the best for him and he deserves the best , and he 's on the verge of having everything he 's ever wanted . and i do n't know why he 's gon na throw that away .

[ scene_break ] molly : [ laughs ] again , please . holden : did n't i do it right the first time ? molly : i 'm just trying to make sure you are who i think you are . holden : marry me . molly : yeah . you 're my guy , all right . mm . holden : how 'd the , uh , dress hunt go ? you buy anything ? molly : i have a couple things i want you to look at and see what you think . the problem is , i 'm trying to decide whether to go bridal or sexy . i think i know what you would say . hey . where 'd you go ? am i boring you to death , or is there something wrong ? holden : no . everything 's perfect . so is my bride to be . [ scene_break ] carly : some things have to be said in person . [ scene_break ] iris : well , i -- i guess it 's time for me to leave . but i have something that i want to give to you both -- something -- something that i 've been holding on to for a long time . this book -- it 's basically saved my life . will : how nice . gwen : what 's that ? iris : it 's the down payment for barbara . will : that was for real ? you 're really paying her back ? iris : i was divinely guided . i am gon na continue to pray for barbara for her to come home soon , safe and sound . and would you please do me a favor and please give that to her for me ? gwen : okay . iris : is that it ? that 's all you got to say ? will : do you want a ride to the bus ? iris : no , thank you . well , goodbye . oh , my sweetheart . you are so sweet and beautiful , inside and out , just like your mama was . god bless . [ smooches ] gwen : i know she 's a liar . i know i ca n't believe anything she says , but -- will : you want to believe her ? gwen : she 's my mom , and that means something to me . i just wish it meant something to her . come on , hallie . come on . let 's go upstairs , okay ? will : want me to give hallie her bath ? gwen : no . i think we should pack . will : what are you talking about ? gwen : we need to get out of here . will : why ? what 's wrong ? gwen : my mom -- she left too fast . i think she 'll come back . will : even after we threatened to call the cops ? gwen : that wo n't scare her for long , will . she came back to oakdale because she wants something . and whatever it is -- she does n't have it yet . will : okay , but i do n't know where we 're gon na go . there 's no other hotel around , and i 'm not taking the two of you to the wagon wheel . gwen : maybe we could find someplace in chicago . will : i want to stay closer than that in case there 's any word on mom . gwen : but someplace close that 's safer . i think we should stay with your brother . will : you want to stay with paul and emily ? gwen : i do n't want to , but i think we should take them up on their offer and stay at fairwinds until we find your mom . will : okay . i 'll call them right now . but try not to worry . i really think we 've seen the last of iris . [ scene_break ] iris : is this the wagon wheel motel ? yeah , i need a room . [ scene_break ] lucinda : uh , no , françoise . what ? ! no , i ca n't speak any louder . look , i want to pick up the pace of the plan , all right ? uh , if -- if my daughter is going to be hurt , you were right about that . uh -- i do n't want the agony to be prolonged . the sooner it 's over , the sooner she 'll have -- she 'll have a chance to heal and move on . uh -- oh . craig montgomery ? the sooner he 's ruined , the sooner the better . is n't that the point of all of this ? [ scene_break ] molly : what do you think ? holden : you look like a million bucks . molly : [ laughs ] i was hoping you 'd say that . help me with my zipper ? holden : you and carly both have excellent tastes . molly : oh , we had a really good time together . we talked a lot . holden : about the wedding ? molly : yeah , and about lily . holden : what about her ? molly : just that , you know , it 's good that she 's working with carly and just got this new friendship going with craig . she 's really carving out a new life for herself . and that can only be good for everybody , right ? holden : right . i just want her to be happy . you 're so beautiful . molly : so are you . hey . are you still with me ? holden : forever .

iris claims to have changed her ways and tells gwen and will that she is clean and sober because she has found god . gwen does n't believe iris but wishes that what she told her was true . when gwen tries to call the police to tell them iris is in town , iris threatens to take barbara to jail with her , because barbara was also involved in the adoption scam that gave them hallie . iris and gwen agree that if she leaves town now , gwen wo n't call the police . iris gives will the first installment to pay barbara back for the money barbara gave to her . gwen knows iris is n't going to leave town until she gets whatever it is she wants , so she asks will to call paul and see if they can move into fairwinds until they find barbara . gwen is right about iris who calls the wagon wheel motel to make a reservation .
<s>[INST] iris : look , i know what you 're thinking , gwennie . gwen : the only reason i 'm not saying it is because we do n't use that kind of language in front of hallie . iris : oh , you are such a good mommy . and you 're right . i apologize . i should not have been helping myself to barbie 's perfume . but , you know , what did it matter ? she was n't here ? gwen : how did you know barbara was n't here ? will : how did you get in ? iris : well , the cleaning crew here is so nice . they were in here , and they were cleaning up . and they would n't let me in , so i started showing pictures of gwen and me . gwen : it must have been a really old photo . iris : and when they realized that i was gwennie 's mama -- will : why did you come back here , iris ? iris : well , for one reason , i wanted to see my beautiful granddaughter . come to grandma , beauty ! gwen : you do n't know this lady , baby . stay right here . [ scene_break ] carly : i ca n't believe this is all ours . [ laughs ] lily : signed , sealed , and paid for . we own a perfume factory . carly : we do , in france . [ lily laughs ] carly : and you got every single concession we wanted from françoise . how did you do that ? lily : it was n't easy . carly : i wish that i 'd been in new york with you . lily : oh , then it would have been two of us stuck in a yucky motel with no a.c. or no lights . carly : and besides , it does n't seem like you needed me at all . you did a great job all on your own . [ scene_break ] lucinda : yes , yes . i got the photos of the property . i got them , and , uh , i 've looked at them . i approved them . i want you to , uh , e - mail me the confirmation on the changes , and we 'll -- then we 'll talk . okay . thank you . [ lucinda sighs ] oh , god . holden ! holden , we need to talk . um -- are you living here now ? gabriel : no , i 'm just working here . lucinda : what were you doing upstairs ? gabriel : washing up . i 'm on a break while the paint dries . is that okay with you ? oh , and holden 's not here , by the way . lucinda : my granddaughter tells me that jack has given you a job fixing up a cabin . gabriel : yeah , so ? lucinda : well , that does give me pause . gabriel : why 's that ? lucinda : you took a sizable chunk of my money -- gabriel : no , you gave that to me . lucinda : -- to go away . gabriel : oh , uh , whoops . lucinda : now you subject yourself to manual labor , rather than living a life of leisure and style ? gabriel : yeah , well , actually , about that money , i lost that in a poker game . lucinda : you are more like your father every day . [ scene_break ] holden : you ordered the food ? molly : would i let you starve at your own wedding ? holden : music ? molly : got to have a first dance , yeah . holden : flowers ? molly : [ laughs ] how much do i love you ? what groom remembers flowers ? and yes , before you ask , carly 's been working on the dress since the minute i said the word `` wedding `` to her . holden : i was hoping you 'd just wear flowers and nothing else . molly : well , i 'm saving that for the honeymoon , baby . holden : [ chuckles ] so all i have to do is just show up . molly : yep . that 's it . holden : i wo n't be late . molly : i got to go . holden : already ? molly : yes . i asked carly to help me find a cocktail dress for the rehearsal dinner , so i 'm meeting her at fashions . do you want to come ? holden : no , no . you go ahead and get started . i 'll catch up in a while . molly : okay . love you . [ holden sighs ] craig : you wanted to see me ? holden : i thought you were going to call me , set up a time . craig : i 'm here . you 're here . what do you want ? holden : i want to know what you were really doing with lily in new york . [ scene_break ] carly : tell me all the details . i want to hear the entire horror story . lily : horror story ? carly : yeah -- new york in the middle of a blackout with an airport strike . it must have been a nightmare . how did you manage ? [ lily remembering ] craig : do you have to be so mesmerizing ? you have a beautiful back , by the way . lily : i just asked myself `` what would carly do ? `` craig : we 've already had this conversation , holden , when you called lily 's room looking for her . holden : right . and i spoke to lily about it when he got home . craig : then why are we here ? holden : well , you see , the things is , what you said and what she said -- two different stories . craig : so lily and i did n't use exactly precisely the same language when describing our trip . how maddeningly autonomous of us . holden : do n't mess with me , craig . craig : oh . you really expect me to take this seriously ? i 'm sorry . holden : you told me that you and lily bumped into each other at the airport and that you ended up staying at the same airport hotel . is n't that what you said ? craig : what did lily tell you ? holden : that you ran into each other in midtown . [ craig chuckles ] craig : this is what you have questions about ? this is the mystery keeping you up at night ? holden : why wo n't you just tell me what 's really going on ? craig : no . holden : no ? craig : i do n't owe you any explanations , holden , and neither does lily , for that matter . if you did n't get the memo , you 're not married to her anymore . holden : she 's still the mother of my children . craig : it does n't make her an indentured servant . oh , you did n't forget that you 're marrying someone else pretty soon , did you ? holden : why ca n't you just give me a straight answer ? craig : all right , i 'll answer your question , if you answer mine . holden : which is ? craig : if you 're no longer in love with your ex - wife , why would the details of any time i spend with lily be so important to you ? [ scene_break ] carly : lily -- lily ! lily : what ? what 's the matter ? carly : there 's -- there 's a charge here for 500,000 euros . lily : oh , that . carly : oh -- we did n't discuss this ! francoise never mentioned 500,000 euros . lily : it 's just the price of doing business overseas . it -- it does n't matter . carly : now that we have to come up with this kind of money , where are we gon na get it ? lily : i covered it . carly : you took care of this ? lily : yeah . it was -- it was a negotiating point . i -- i was forced to make a decision on the fly , so i did . carly : yowsa . that 's a lot of money . lily : i know . and i 'm sorry that i did n't mention it earlier . it was just , um , you know , it was something i had to do . there was no way around it , not if we wanted the factory , so i just made an executive decision . carly : ah . well , now i know you were lying before . lily : what ? ! carly : when you said that you handled things the way i would have . 'cause if françoise had tacked on half a million euros with me there , i would have torn the hinges off the door getting out of there . [ both laugh ] lily : it really was n't that bad . carly : i know i 've been talking a lot about a lot of money , but sheesh . lily : its okay , i promise you . carly : okay . all right . well , you 're the money . i 'm the fragrance . so no arguments from me . wow . thank you . lily : for doing my job ? carly : yeah , and being up front with me about the finances . when i was in business with craig , i did n't really know what was going on , obviously . lily : we 're in this together , carly . carly : oh , well , i hate to cut this short , but i -- i have to go . there 's something i need to do . lily : okay . no problem . carly : oh , hey , um -- you 're being honest with me , so i , uh -- i ought to be honest with you . lily : what about ? carly : this thing that i have to do . um , i have to go meet molly . lily : oh . carly : i 'm making a wedding dress , and she wants me to help pick something out for the rehearsal dinner . lily : oh . carly : do you feel weird about that or uncomfortable at all ? lily : carly , she 's your cousin . it would be weird if you were n't involved in this . carly : so you 're okay with it ? lily : yeah . why would n't i be ? carly : well , i have been in your position once or twice . i was nowhere near as graceful . [ laughs ] lily : nothing 's gon na change it . i mean , i have to face it . holden 's not my husband anymore . he 's never coming back to me . so i just have to point myself forward and never , ever look back . carly : does that work ? lily : i do n't know . it does for my mother . [ scene_break ] gabriel : holden has a phone , you know . lucinda : am i making you uncomfortable ? gabriel : no . no , but you sure are trying hard . lucinda : i 'm just -- i 'm just trying to put the pieces together . that 's all . and your conniving father managed to engineer somehow a huge payoff from the insurance company after the fire . gabriel : so ? lucinda : and you certainly managed to get a sizable chunk of that from him . and yet here you are , toiling under the summer sun for minimum wage . gabriel : craig offered me money . lucinda : as expected . gabriel : yeah . i turned him down . lucinda : why ? gabriel : because i 'm not for sale . lucinda : [ chuckles ] since when ? although i -- i really am surprised that you take so little interest in your father 's business dealings now , when you think there was a time when there was nothing that interested you more . and yet now that he 's thriving , you do n't seem -- gabriel : okay , what is it you want to hear from me ? lucinda : what is craig up to ? gabriel : how the hell should i know , okay ? i do n't work for craig . i did n't take his money , and i do n't care about his job , okay ? ! lucinda : okay . gabriel : no , no , no . wait a minute . what is it with you ? lucinda : uh , me ? clarify . gabriel : yeah . why do you get such a kick out of hurting people ? just because you can ? lucinda : i never hurt anyone who does n't deserve it . gabriel : what about , uh -- what about lily ? lucinda : now , what is that supposed to mean ? gabriel : nothing . i just see you guys fighting a lot . i 'm just wondering , did you ever do anything to hurt her ? lucinda : why are you asking ? gabriel : well , you 're always coming down hard on craig for being such a lousy father , such a lousy person . i 'm just trying to figure out who you are . lucinda : would you just be kind enough to tell holden that i stopped by and i need to talk to him ? [ scene_break ] will : are you like one of those people that reads the obituaries and then heads to the dead person 's address to see if she can buy up their real estate ? iris : oh , dear heavens . is barbara passed on ? gwen : come on , mom . save the act for somebody who has n't seen it 2,000 times . iris : you think i 'm acting here ? gwen : i know you would n't be here if you did n't know barbara was missing . you heard that , and you jumped on the fastest thing smoking . you talked your way into this room , and if we had n't come back , you would have moved on from barbara 's perfume to her jewelry . iris : [ scoffs ] i am so misunderstood . gwen : you are so full of it . you have five seconds to tell us what you want . okay . will , call security . iris : all right , all right , all right . maybe i did see something posted on your wall , gwennie , about barbara getting in touch with you . will : i knew it . iris : look , i did not come back to oakdale to take advantage of the situation . gwen : [ scoffs ] yeah , right . iris : i came back to offer my assistance . gwen : you want to assist us ? you can walk out of here and never come back again . iris : look , i made a lot of mistakes , i know , but god knows i paid the price for all of them . gwen : what price ? did you end up in prison ? because that 's where you belonged . iris : not prison , but i -- i did end up in jail . gwen : oh , good . what 'd you do ? iris : well , after i left here , i -- i lost all of barbara 's money . gwen : that 's not surprising . iris : yeah . i thought i was set for life . and instead , i ended up in some drunk tank in indianapolis . do you want to know something , gwennie ? gwen : hmm ? iris : sometimes it 's at the bottom of a barrel where a light above shines brightest . amen . you know me , gwennie . you know that when i make mistakes , i run , and i keep on running . well , why would i come back ? gwen : 'cause you thought you 'd hit the lottery again ? iris : no , because i 've changed . gwen : again ? iris : yes . i -- i 've turned myself over to a higher power , and i 've been clean and sober ever since . gwen : you do know i 've heard this before , right ? iris : please believe me this time , okay ? and one of the reasons why , um , it 's very important for me to help you find barbara is that i have a down payment on all the money that she gave to me , and i want to give it to her in person , and i want to make amends . but now that i heard that she 's disappeared , just my luck , huh ? gwen : because everything is about you . iris : why ca n't you give me any credit ? look , i 'm trying to do a good deed here . i mean -- [ voice breaking ] first , barbara 's gone , and now my kids -- they do n't even forgive me . will : is that my mother 's handkerchief , too ? iris : i do n't understand why you 're treating me like this ! gwen : mom , this is n't about you , okay ? we are in the middle of a crisis , and the last thing that we need right now is you coming in here and try to run some stupid scam . iris : no , i swear , i was trying to pay barbara back ! will : well , that 's fine . you want to leave the money with me ? i 'll make sure she gets it . iris : ca n't i even hold my grandbaby for just one minute ? i mean , she 's -- she 's all i have left of cole since he 's been locked up . will : cole has nothing to do with her life . she is ours , and i do n't want you anywhere near her . goodbye .

'cause shortly after that , carly introduced me to ... to rebecca . victor : and when you found out carly was pregnant ? daniel : i did n't . i did n't . i heard the whole story for the first time just a few days ago . victor : and what are you doing now , passing out cigars ? daniel : i do n't know . i 'm just so frustrated with carly , i do n't know what to do . i do n't know what to do next . victor : well , my boy , you 've come to the right place . [ scene_break ] carly : i did n't hear you sneak up on me . why did n't you just shove me in the river ? vivian : oh , drowning is so quick and relatively painless . carly : so was suffocating someone with a pillow . did n't stop you from trying . vivian : i much prefer the future you arranged for yourself -- prison for shooting your own daughter . [ scene_break ] nicole : while she 's still freaking out , and she will because she 'll realize that she 's in prison with the mother of the baby she stole . and then i will grab her by her hair , and i will hack it off , and i will pull off her scalp -- chloe : nicole , keep your voice down . nicole : sorry . just got a little carried away . chloe : yeah , a little . nicole : it 's just that fantasy , chloe , that fantasy helps me pass the time in here . chloe : yeah , well , if she hears you talking like that , you may be stuck in here a lot longer . nicole : i know , i know , i know . i just hate this place chloe : it 's prison . what do you think , people are sitting around , trying to think of ways to make it more fun ? nicole : but you have no idea what it 's like when that cell door slams shut , and i know i have no way out . sometimes , i just ... i do multiplication tables just to keep me from going insane . chloe , and -- and there 's this matron who 's all over me , and i ca n't take it anymore . chloe : you know what ? you have to calm down and figure out a way to accept it , 'cause you 're stuck in here . you do n't have a choice . nicole : like hell i do n't .

luke : is this like a compulsive nervous habit of yours -- every time things get a little tense here , you go into restock the bar mode ? ethan : it 's just something to do while i wait for holly sutton to return with the latest version of my family tree . that is , assuming that she has n't decided this whole thing was a bad bet and skipped town . luke : well , i do n't think so , dodge . ethan : look , holly either had your kid , gave it away and never told you about it , or there was no kid and she lied to you . she lied to me . either way , we 've been had . [ scene_break ] robin : i 've already told ethan the truth . that there 's no way he could be my half - brother . i doubt my father would appreciate you lying about him . holly : i 've certainly made a mess of things , have n't i ? robin : well , what were you hoping to accomplish ? holly : well , to start with , a reunion of sorts . robin : okay , so you told ethan that luke was his father , which i 'm sure luke 's kids were not happy about , and then you told him that my father was his father which is an obvious lie . now he does n't know what to believe . maybe you 're not even his mother . [ scene_break ] patrick : i went over this with carly , and i wanted to touch base with you about it . michael has had a few emotional outbursts which are a sign of poor impulse control . sonny : kid 's got a lot to be angry about . patrick : i understand that , but it 's not provoked . it 's not rational , which means it 's a sign of the brain trauma . sonny : okay , let me ask you this . how long is this anger going to last ? patrick : it 's hard to tell , sonny . sonny : i mean , you know , he 's going off on his mother . she 's got this condition . she has dizzy spells . she 's almost fainted , what , a couple of times ? if she has a blood clot and dies or if she loses the baby because of something michael did when he was angry , it 's going to destroy the kid . patrick : it 's very important that michael is around people that he 's comfortable with . [ scene_break ] michael : wait , wait , wait , wait . you like `` killer zombies from beyond the beach `` ? claudia : are you kidding ? come on . i ca n't even believe that you 've heard of that movie . michael : heard of it ? are you kidding ? it 's like one of the best movies , especially when it 's three o'clock in the morning and there 's nothing on cable , and i 'm trying to get back to sleep . claudia : have you seen the sequel though ? the sequel is -- oh . michael : `` killer zombies , lost in the sahara `` ? claudia : yes , yes , yes , yes . michael : the one where the scientist saves them from being eaten from the big , bad lizard ? claudia : yeah , there 's a lizard that annihilates that scientist 's face . it 's so gross . michael : i always covered morgan 's eyes at that part . sometimes he used to sneak in and watch horror movies with me . do n't tell dad . claudia : are you kidding ? i think that we need to have like a killer zombie film festival as soon as possible . michael : do you think you could find downloads ? claudia : i could try . michael : i mean , there 's got to be some extra copies , some dvd 's lying around somewhere , right ? claudia : yeah . michael : there 's got -- i mean , there 's got to be -- jason , why did n't you tell me about claudia ?

[ scene_break ] ethan : so would you have done it ? would you have walked out on tracy to go adventure with holly ? luke : there was a time in my life when i would have done it in a heartbeat . but hell , who am i kidding ? i still might if she walks out here and makes the offer . ethan : well , tracy paid her off , so i 'm sure she 's long gone by now . luke : maybe . maybe not . you know , english has played this too cute from the beginning . she could have just told us one way or another . she did n't have to drag it out , and it 's kind of my fault because i got caught up in the game . ethan : what about tracy ? do you think she 'll give you the boot ? luke : who knows ? ethan : she 's certainly got spirit . luke : yeah , i just wish she kept her dirty mitts off that dna test that caused us , especially you , a lot of trouble . ethan : well , that 's life , mate . luke : you know , we could do another one by mail . one of those mail - in deals where we would n't have to trust anybody . you know ? it 's the only way to know absolutely . [ scene_break ] robin : so what made you choose ethan ? and do n't tell me that you looked at him and just magically knew he was your son . holly : well , do n't you think a mother knows ? robin : after twenty years of giving up your infant son , no , i do n't think so . holly : when ethan was born , i was overwhelmed . my life was a mess . there was no way i could have taken care of a baby . giving him up was the only responsible option . robin : so why not just leave him alone ? holly : he was grown . i did some digging and found out his adoptive parents had died . i wanted to know if he was okay , see how he turned out . robin : okay , listen . the first time that i met ethan , it was at the haunted star . it was the middle of a bad day . he was funny , charming , and confident . he mixed me my own personal drink , which was wonderful . nothing like the guy that walked through my door today . that guy was upset and worried . all of his confidence is gone . and i do n't blame him . he 's been lied to for weeks , because you still wo n't give him a straight answer . do you even realize how many people will be hurt by all of this ? holly : that was never my intention . robin : it does n't matter what your intentions were . i do n't think ethan cares about that either . holly : well , do n't worry . i 'm leaving . i just have one more stop to make . [ scene_break ] ethan : i mean what difference would it make in the long run anyway if i 'm your son or not ? we get on just fine . let 's leave it at that . luke : we could . yeah , we could do that . just kind of hang in the moment , see where it goes . reconcile ourselves to one day soon drifting out of each other 's lives . we could do that . this obviously means something different to me than it does to you . because see , i do n't have another decade to squander . hell , i probably only got one or two decades left . so if i am your father , i 'd like to know it . i 'd like to enjoy it . lucky : you are still here . ethan : i know , it 's so annoying , is n't it ? lucky : so what 's the word with holly ? did you get the answer you were looking for ? luke : you know , cowboy , if you check with your colleagues at the pcpd , they could probably tell you the last time i saw her she seemed to be headed for the slammer because my lovely wife accused her of lifting some sparklers . ethan : you know , my best guess is that she and holly worked out some sort of deal , and now holly skipped town . lucky : so i guess holly was playing me , too . luke : when ? lucky : i went to see her yesterday . i thought maybe she 'd actually tell me what 's going on .

[ scene_break ] luke : when did you visit holly ? lucky : yesterday . i asked if ethan was your kid . luke : well , she told us that robert is his father . lucky : robert scorpio ? luke : yeah , but it could 've just been damage control . ethan : yeah , i went to go see robin , and she made a pretty convincing argument how robert and holly were on opposite sides of the planet at the time . lucky : well , cheer up , daddy . ethan may be actually your kid after all . luke : you know , cowboy , i 'm going to have to say this one more time . what happened between me and holly was a long time ago . lucky : yeah . luke : and it 's a done deal , pal . it had nothing to do with you or your mother . lucky : so in other words , all those good years we had as a family meant nothing at all .

belle : no ! no , it was n't straight out like that . shawn - d : no ? belle : shawn , i talk to my parents . what 's wrong with that ? shawn - d : nothing . i would just think that at some point in your life , you 'd switch over to being a little more private about -- belle : you mean sharing things instead of with them . shawn - d : i guess , yeah . belle : shawn , they still think of me as their little girl . that 's changing , but ... okay , you know how long it took the glaciers to melt ?

john : no , i 'm not embarrassed . it 's just none of his damn business . i mean , roman loves it when you and i are fighting . marlena : that 's not true . john : oh , come on , doc , any chance he gets to make me look bad in your eyes , he jumps on it . marlena : no , it 's not so . he was very understanding about this . john : i 'm sure he was so sorry that your husband put a tracking device on you that he just filled up with sympathy , so you decided to get back at me by running to your ex for that sympathy . marlena : it was n't about sympathy . john : come on , you ran to the guy because he 's ilill in love with you . marlena : why are you being so impossible about this ? roman is not in love with me . you 've seen him with kate . they 're crazy about each other . john : yeah , yeah , he and kate were hot and heavy at one time , but she 's miserable now because roman ca n't commit . three guesses why not ... marlena : it 's not because of me . john : it 's totally you . you basically ruined the guy for any other woman . kate : i thought you were so hot to talk , to get some answers . why do n't you give me one ? just exactly what is it you think i was trying to get you back for , huh ? roman : look , can we just pretend this never happened , all right ? it 's not like you meant it . kate : what ? roman : kate , come on , you thought i was in danger . it 's the only reason you said you loved me . just in case something happened , then those would be the last words i heard on earth . kate : oh , my god . well , that is a very poetic thought , but it 's absolute crap , okay ? when i tell a man i love him , it 's because it 's the truth , and i do n't know why you would think anything else . roman : because you 're kate roberts . you 're a worldly , sophisticated woman . you 're not some damn teenybopper with a crush ! all right ? so blurting out `` i love you `` on a police radio is n't exactly what you would do . it 's not a kate thing to do . kate : oh . i see . it was , um , impulsive , so you could n't trust it , is that it ? roman : there you go . you got it -- right there . so now can we forget about it ? kate : sure . roman : good . great . so , would you like to sit down now , maybe have a cocktail ? kate : but i 'm not talking on the police radio right now , am i ?

sometimes , he is . like when you choose to hate him , not because of what he 's done to you or done to us , but because he 's a dimera . john : that 's right , doc . give the guy a pass . he 's just an innocent man , trying to live a quiet , respectable life in the fine city of salem , right ?

rolf : that 's complicated . rex : you know , people use that expression when they 're trying to hide the truth . rolf : it 's very astute of you . rex : so you are hiding something . what is it ? does it have to do with my father ? you 're not really a professor at salem university , are you ? there 's some other connection . rolf : connection ? rex : yeah , with me , with my sister . i 've felt it for a long time . who are you , really ?

i never knew i could be that jealous . look , i want to be the only man who touches you like that , and i want to be the only man who kisses you like this . kate : if you want me so badly , why ca n't you say the words that i want to hear ? roman : 'cause i got my own way of saying things . rex : wait a minute . what did i miss here , professor ? how could you be the doctor that delivered me and cassie ? rolf : i performed ma t tasks for stefano dimera over the years , rex , but none that 's as dear to my heart as bringing you and your sister into being . rex : into being ? is n't that a little over the top , even for a doctor ? rolf : well , it , uh , it applies in this case . you know , rex , everyone hates me for what i did . but i look at you , at how brilliant you are , and i say , how could it have been wrong ? rex : how could what have been wrong ? what are you talking about , professor ? it sounds to me like you were a lot more involved than an ordinary obstetrician . rolf : i think i 've said too much . rex : i think you better finish what you started , or you 'll have to answer to my father . rolf : i merely did what your grandfather wanted me to do . sperm was collected , eggs were fertilized , and voil ! perfect twins . a boy and a girl such as the world had never known before . rex : so we were an experiment ? rolf : well , only technically speaking . stefano dreamed of human perfection . i made that dream come true . r : : by playing god ? rolf : no , no , no , not me , rex . that was stefano 's role . i was merely the facilitator . and along the way , i came to care for those two remarkable babies . makes me very happy to see how beautiful you 've turned out . rex : so the experiment was a success ? rolf : oh , my , yes , by anyone 's measure . i , uh , i only hope you do n't feel exploited , rex . i had your best interests at heart . kate : i 'm not -- i 'm not sure about this . roman : i am . kate : i do n't know , it 's just i do n't feel that things are right between us . roman : everything is right about us , kate . kate : we need to talk . roman : not now . kate : then when ? roman : not now . belle : i want it to stay like this forever . shawn - d : okay . belle : no , shawn , i 'm serious . hodo we make sure that we stay happy , and that we do n't fall into a pattern of fighting about the same things over and over again ? > hahawn - d ; : i do n't know . belle : well , i 'm pretty sure it 's me more than you , so i 'm gon na make sure that i stay a little more relaxed about everything . shawn - d : i 'm not so sure about that . rolf : rex , i ca n't take credit for conceiving the idea to create you and cassie . the glory goes to stefano for that . i just did as he asked . and that was always the way with us . i was the servant , he was the master . rex : yeah , the word `` servant `` does n't really apply to you , professor . after all , you creeded human life . i do n't think eliana 's done that lately . rolf : no , no , probably not . so , uh , you 're not angry with me , you 're not sentful ? rex : no . you were just carrying out my grandfather 's wishes . i mean , after everything i 've read or heard about him , stefano dimera was n't the kind of man people said no to . rolf : that 's very true , rex . look , i 'm just relieved that you understand . rex : oh , i do . i completely understand . but what i do n't get is why grandfather wanted you to . why was it so important to bring cassie and me into being ? rolf : oh . believe me , rex , trying to understand the workings of stefano 's mind was an exercise in futility . but look , let 's talk about you , about that extraordinary superior intelligence . have you made any progress yet ? have you come up wi a anything groundbreaking ? do you need my help ? i would be honored to work with you , rex . rex : well , i do n't need any help right now , but i will remember your offer . rolf : ca n't you even share with me what your project is ? rex : later . when i 've had my first success , i 'll let you know . rolf : well , i 'll look forward to it . rex : uh , professor ... rolf : hmm ? rex : there 's something i 've been looking forward to for a while now . rolf : oh , really ? what 's that , rex ? rex : i 'm dying to see what your real hair looks like . rolf : my -- my real hair ? rex : come on , take off the wig , professor . rolf : i - i do n't know what you 're talking about . rex -- rex : bald . that 's what i figured . you know , you look a lot better without the rug . now , if you 'd just drop the accent ... it 's really cheesy , professor . what do you really sound like ? rolf : [ regular voice ] well , well , well . you are certainly one smart cookie . rex : german . of course . it 's nice to finally meet the real professor putnam . rolf : i can see there is no fooling you , rex . rex : that 's right . rolf : huh . before i go , let me give you the number of the motel where i am staying just outside town . 's 's the roadside motel . i 'm listed under my mother 's maiden name -- blitz . rex : got it . rolf : well , i will be in contact soon . rex : okay . rolf : ah , rex . rex , i am so proud of you . i am as proud as if i were your own father . rex : weird . rex : you think you 're proud of me now , just wait until my project is completed . then i 'll be the one making history . kate : [ laughs ] roman : oh , god . [ both moaning ] roman : come on ... kate : [ giggles ] roman : ah ... kate ... kate , i do n't want to hurt you . kate : oh ... the only way you can hurt me is if you stop . kate : [ chuckles ] mmm ... i never knew the shoulder could be such an erogenous zone . roman : uh - huh . kate : well , there 's no problems in the bedroom , that 's for sure . that 's rare , you know . i mean , for me . i do n't think i have ever been so deeply , utterly satisfied . i think i make you happy , too . roman : [ kisses shoulder ] kate : that 's what worries me a little bit . i mean , i know i 'm good with my body , but ... you do n't know the reason why , do you ? do n't -- do n't say anything , okay ? i just want to -- i want to talk while i have the courage . it 's about -- it 's about my secret past that you 're always so curious -- curious about . roman ... i guess i 've been ashamed to say anything . and i do n't know why i 'm going to say anything now , but i ... i just want you to ... to really know me , because if you 're going to ... if you 're going to love me , then you need to know all of who i really am . kate : when i was , um ... much younger , and , um , very desperate to survive ... i took -- i took money in exchange for sex . i sold my services to men . and that 's what , um , worries me now . because when you were first in pursuit of me i was so afraid that you just wanted me -- wanted me to go to bed with you . i mean , not that i do n't mind jumping into bed with you . it 's great , but ... i wanted you to want me for me . kate : and now who knows ? after hearing all this , you might not want me at all , right ? roman ... do you still -- do you still feel -- roman ? roman ? belle : wow . you think i ca n't change . shawn - d : i do n't mean that in a bad way . i just know that you 're the type of person who worries ... a lot . belle : so ? i can go crazy sometimes , too . shawn - d : oh , you ? cra -- oh , yeah . crazy ? belle : yeah , you know , me and meems , girls ' night out . you know how it is . oh , whatever , shawn . i am not sensible all the time . i can go wild . fine , i 'll show you . shawn - d : no -- belle : oh , my god ! oh , my god ! i am -- i 'm so sorry . seriously , i 'm sorry . wait . wait ! guys ! shawn , is this wild enough for you ? shawn - d : yeah . yeah , bring it on . saddam struck fear into their hearts . yet it was coalition troops that took their loved ones away . the thousands of iraqis still awaiting freedom . on tonight 's `` global national `` with kevin newman . shawn - d : hey ! oh , my god ! belle : that 's gross ! shawn - d : you started it . belle : it was an accident ! i did n't mean to . shawn , this is a new dress . what if i get a stain on it ? or -- it 's okay . it 's just a dress . i 'll just change my style and start wearing jeans with holes in them . shawn - d : you know what ? i do n't want you to change a thing . belle : oh , shawn , but you deserve a girl who can go crazy every -- whoa ! shawn - d : whoa ! there goes the dress ! belle : that 's okay . i 'll just take it off . shawn - d : oh , no , no . no , you don't . belle : gotcha . shawn - d : yeah , you did . belle : come on , shawn , i never go that crazy . oh , let 's get them ! shawn - d : what ? no , come here . come here . john : i ca n't believe tony 's doing this to us . marlena : he 's not . you are . john : no , he 's doing something , all right . you 're being manipulated . you 've got a soft spot in your heart for those kids -- marlena : gosh golly , i do . john : of course you do . you 're a wonderful mother . and i 'm not saying that you should n't go out of your way for them . i 'm just saying that tony 's playing you , damn it . there 's no doubt in my mind about that . marlena : you do n't have any proof of that . john : well , i know of divorced couples who have raised their children without so much as even speaking to one another . that 's why i do n't understand why you and tony have to be so all - fired close . marlena : we are not so close . john : i saw the way you were looking at him tonight . marlena : what ? john : at tuscan when he was dancing with kate , you could n't keep your eyes off him . marlena : do you think that i 'm jealous ? john : were you ? marlena : uh ... i have no interest in dancing with tony . [ soft music playing ] marlena : you 're my partner . in all things . dance with me . come on , force yourself . marlena : come on . john : [ sighs ] kate : goodbye . rex : get ready , salem . my presence is about to be felt in a big way . lexie : it only happened once . hope : lex -- lexie : i can not let brandon threaten my marriage . abe : vin ramsell 's out on bail . bo : i 'll take the bastard down myself . jennifer : so we 're gon na strip you down . yeah , to the basics , and we 're gon na start all over with you , jack deveraux . jack : before i 'm through , i 'm gon na make that hunk you 're dating look like quasimodo . who is it ?
belle and shawn continue to forgive each other . later , they start a food fight and others join in . john and marlena argue about the bug sweeping device . john accuses marlena of ruining roman for any other woman . finally , they make up . roman and kate go to his place , where they argue about tuscany and her announcing her love for him over the police radio . later , after they make love , kate tells him about her days as a hooker . when she looks over , roman is asleep . upset , she leaves . rex is working on his project , until rolf calls and asks to meet him at the mansion . when rolf arrives , he begins questioning rex about his and his sister 's interests and projects . rex figures out that rolf is not professor putnam , but somebody else , so he asks rolf why he is so interested in him and cassie , rolf reveals himself and takes off the wig and says that he delivered them at birth . rolf leaves . later , rex talks about how his new invention will rock salem
<s>[INST] marlena : you know exactly what it is . let 's not play this game . john : gimd , will you ? i 'm having a hard time processing the fact that my wife is carrying a bug - sweeping device in her purse . marlena : do n't make a big deal out of this . john : who gave it to you ? marlena : roman . oman . [ cellular phone rings ] rex : hello . rolf : rex , it 's professor putnam . how have you been ? rex : good , good . i 'm doing good . rolf : excellent . , i 'm , uh , i 'm back from my sabbatical now . rex : oh , yeah ? rolf : how 's my star student doing wi rex : uh , i 'm doing some independent study work , and that 's going well . rolf : i 'd like to meet with you , rex , but , uh , i probably should n't come to the mansion . i do n't want to bother count dimera . rex : well , my father 's not home . come over now . rolf : all right . i 'll be there soon . rex : looking good . shawn - d : what do you want to do ? belle : oh ... hold your hand . shawn - d : well , that 's easy . want some pizza ? belle : nope . shawn - d : soda ? belle : unh - unh . ha ha ha ha ! i kinda like this . shawn - d : you know what ? me too . belle : let 's never fight again , okay ? shawn - d : it 's a deal . belle : have you noticed ? shawn - d : what ? belle : i 'm not acting all depressed . shawn - d : oh ... yeah . right . because i 'm so sorry that i have been negative lately . belle : you have n't been . shawn - d : hey , do n't argue withe . e . belle : okay . shawn - d : but this is good , 'cause i am so lucky to have you . belle : yeah , you are . shawn - d : i do n't know what it is that makes two people go together so well , but whatever it is , you and i have got that . belle : i am definitely not arguing with you . shawn - d : okay . kate : god , i ca n't believe i let you drag me over here like this . roman : oh , kate , i did n't exactly drag you over here . kate : oh , really ? well , i was having a wonderful evening at tuscany , one of my favorite restaurants , even though they do n't serve bean dip and chili . roman : what , is that supposed to be some kind of insult ? kate : no . what it is , is a comment . it 's a comment , saying that a gentleman invited me out for an elegant dinner . roman : oh , you know , you do n't have to flip your hair like a damn diva . tony dimera is no gentleman ! he 's a criminal . so what the hell were you doing out with him tonight ? like sands through the hourglass , so are the days of our lives . we are off tomorrow for good friday .. ical peel , kate : you are jealous of tony dimera . roman : oh , the hell i am ! no , i am worried about you hanging out with that dangerous lowlife . kate : i was tangoing with another man , and you ca n't stand it . roman : there was a whole lot more than tango dancing going on out there . kate : what the hell is that supposed to mean ? roman : well , let me put it this way -- i have heard that in some states you could be arrested for dancing that way . kate : are you calling me cheap , roman ? roman : do n't go putting words in my mouth . kate : oh , god ! you know something ? you are more right than you think you are , because i was having a great time with tony . he is a very attractive man . roman : yeah , if you 're turned on by snakes . nah , you 're just using tony to get back at me , that 's all . kate : get back at you ... for what ? belle : you want to play connect four ? shawn - d : do you ? belle : well , i do if you do . shawn - d : well , i do if you do . belle : hey , how about you just kiss me ? shawn - d : okay . woman : are you playing with the game ? shawn - d : mnh - mnh . no , no , it 's all yours . man : thanks . shawn - d : yeah . woman : so i guess y g guys are back together . belle : yeah . woman : i told rick you would n't stay mad at each other . rick : sandy 's always right about things like that . belle : oh , my god , your ring is gorgeous . wait , are you guys engaged ? rick : not yet . it 's a purity ring . belle : purity ring . sandy : it means i decided not to have sex until i get married . belle : really . and , um , you 're okay with that ? rick : yeah , i think it 's cool . like , when we do get married , we 'll be each other 's one and only . belle : and what are you thinking right now ? shawn - d : hmm ? just , uh ... well , i 'm sick of everyone bringing that subject up around me . belle : it 's interesting -- abstinence . i mean , not having sex until you 're married . it almost does n't even seem like an option anymore . shawn - d : even if it is the 21st century . belle : what ? shawn - d : oh , no , it 's just something your dad brought up . belle : you were talking to my dad about sex ? john : of course ... roman . had to run to your ex . marlena : sad that i had to go to anybody else -- john : did n't have to . we 've been through this . i said i was sorry that i planted the bug on you , did n't i ? marlena : yes . you apologized . but i 'm not sure when it 's going to happen again . and i 'm not coorortable being married to a man who tracks my moves with an electronic device . john : i did it to protect you . marlena : you did it to control me . john : is that how you really feel ? marlena : you put a bugging device in my bag without my knowing it ? that says to me you do n't trust me . john : it 's not you , it 's tony ! marlena : oh , stop with tony ! it is n't about tony . it isn't . it 's about you and me and our vows to each other . john : our marriage -- come on , come on , our marriage is rock - solid . and those vows i took mean ever more to me today than they did on the day we were married . marnana : you 're saying all the right things . i do n't think you 're convinced . because of the fact that now you know tony and i are rex and cassie 's parents . john : you know , doc , you just kind of throw that out therlilike it 's no big deal . marlena : you know , we did n't want it . we did n't ask for it . it 's what happened . we 're making the best of it . john : yeah , but it sure as hell is changing our lives , is n't it ? marlena : yes . it has changed our lives . but no relationship worth its salt has no movement . good marriages change and adjust because of challenges , sometimes in spite of challenges . john : are you saying that we do n't have a good marriage ? marlena : i want you to stop being insecure . john : oh , so now i 'm insecure ? marlena : yes . you are . john : you 're not making any sense . marlena : it 's not your fault , but you are afraid that i will do to you what i did to roman . you 're afraid that i 'll cheat on you . would bring such a suspenseful the green jacket is going north of the border . the perfect size . dg shawn - d : it 's not like your dad and i sat around talking about sex . belle : please . god . shawn - d : i just went to the pub to have some breakfast , and your dad was there . belle : did he interrogate you ? shawn - d : no . not really . he just wanted to know how things were between you and me , but he had the wrong idea because of something you told him over the phone . belle : something i told him ? oh ... yeah , i remember that . shawn - d : oh , do you remember talking to him , telling him how we were thinking about ... having sex ? belle : no ! no , it was n't straight out like that . shawn - d : no ? belle : shawn , i talk to my parents . what 's wrong with that ? shawn - d : nothing . i would just think that at some point in your life , you 'd switch over to being a little more private about -- belle : you mean sharing things instead of with them . shawn - d : i guess , yeah . belle : shawn , they still think of me as their little girl . that 's changing , but ... okay , you know how long it took the glaciers to melt ? it 's kind of like that -- slow . what about your parents ? shawn - d : what about them ? belle : well , i mean , do they ever ask you if we 're having sex ? shawn - d : my dad and i have talked about it , but he 's more concerned with us just being safe . i mean , i think he assumes we 're having sex . belle : because you 're a guy . shawn - d : maybe . i do n't know . my mom freaked out about it a long time ago , but she never actually asked . belle : see , why is it such a big deal for girls , but when it comes to guys , they 're like , `` hey , way to go , man . `` shawn - d : i do n't think that . belle : you do n't ? not at all , not even a little bit ? shawn - d : no , but i love you . so that makes things a little different for me . belle : different , how ? shawn - d : well , before we were going out , when i was a sophomore in high school , i did n't exactly make all the right judgment calls . belle : okay ... shawn - d : but , you see , when i went on the road with the baseball team a couple weeks ago and the guys were partying and the girls were in there running around ... in their underwear , i did n't want to have anything to do with them . i stayed away . belle : really ? in their underarar . did they happen to have days of the week on them ? shawn - d : oh , you mean , like ... no . belle : so you were looking . shawn - d : well -- i was -- yes . i 'm alive . hello ? belle : were they pretty ? shawn - d : sure . okay ? but that does n't matter . you want to know why ? because you are the only girl i want to be with . [ knock on door ] rex : come in , professor . rolf : thank you , rex . rex : sure . sit down . would you like some tea or coffee ? i can call down to the kitchen . rolf : uh ... no , no , i - i really ca n't stay . i just wanted to see how you 're getting on with your studies . rex : you mean college ? i 'm almost through . rolf : through ? i do n't understand . rex : well , the department heads had a meeting and decided there 's not much they can teach me . i 'm too advanced . rolf : well , i could 've told them that . you have an extraordinary intelligence , rex . well , so does your sister , but , uh , it manifests itself differently . your talents are intellectual , and cassie 's are interpersonal . rex : maybe that 's why she 's been getting into so much trouble . she 's too interpersonal . rolf : oh , dear . what happened ? rex : uh , she got kicked out of the dorm for drinking . that 's why i moved back here , to keep an eye on her . rolf : so , you 're , uh , you 're a good brother , as well as a genius . i had no idea your i.q . was this high . although , i should n't be surprised . you and your sister are n't like most people . rex : cassie wants to be . she likes to fit in , you know ? she wants to be popular and famous -- things i do n't care about at all . rolf : well , you 're destined for a different kind of greatness , rex . your intellect , your , uh , your gift for science will lead you to do important things . you , uh , you working on a project now ? could i se marlena : i ... i still feel guilty about that . i will always feel guilty about that . so much time has passed , and that has n't changed what happened , and you are intimately aware that i ... betrayed my husband with another man . and that 's bound to make you insecure . john : well , i am sorry , dr . evans , but i do n't feel insecure . besides , i was n't just ... any other ma w was i ? john : of course you did . you 're an honorable woman , but you 're also human . marlena : is n't that what every cheating spouse says -- `` i was human `` ? it does n't excuse the betrayal , does it ? john : doc , i - i ca n't stop you from blaming yourself , but i wish you wouldn't . look , our ... our situation was different . it was ... it was different . marlena : all right . john : the thing is , i 'm just -- i 'm justotot happy that you brought roman into our thing with tony . marlena : are you embarrassed because knows what you did ? john : no , i 'm not embarrassed . it 's just none of his damn business . i mean , roman loves it when you and i are fighting . marlena : that 's not true . john : oh , come on , doc , any chance he gets to make me look bad in your eyes , he jumps on it . marlena : no , it 's not so . he was very understanding about this . john : i 'm sure he was so sorry that your husband put a tracking device on you that he just filled up with sympathy , so you decided to get back at me by running to your ex for that sympathy . marlena : it was n't about sympathy . john : come on , you ran to the guy because he 's ilill in love with you . marlena : why are you being so impossible about this ? roman is not in love with me . you 've seen him with kate . they 're crazy about each other . john : yeah , yeah , he and kate were hot and heavy at one time , but she 's miserable now because roman ca n't commit . three guesses why not ... marlena : it 's not because of me . john : it 's totally you . you basically ruined the guy for any other woman . kate : i thought you were so hot to talk , to get some answers . why do n't you give me one ? just exactly what is it you think i was trying to get you back for , huh ? roman : look , can we just pretend this never happened , all right ? it 's not like you meant it . kate : what ? roman : kate , come on , you thought i was in danger . it 's the only reason you said you loved me . just in case something happened , then those would be the last words i heard on earth . kate : oh , my god . well , that is a very poetic thought , but it 's absolute crap , okay ? when i tell a man i love him , it 's because it 's the truth , and i do n't know why you would think anything else . roman : because you 're kate roberts . you 're a worldly , sophisticated woman . you 're not some damn teenybopper with a crush ! all right ? so blurting out `` i love you `` on a police radio is n't exactly what you would do . it 's not a kate thing to do . kate : oh . i see . it was , um , impulsive , so you could n't trust it , is that it ? roman : there you go . you got it -- right there . so now can we forget about it ? kate : sure . roman : good . great . so , would you like to sit down now , maybe have a cocktail ? kate : but i 'm not talking on the police radio right now , am i ? roman : no , you 're not . kate : we 're in your home , the privacy of your home , so anything i say here you would have to take in good faith , right ? roman brady , i love you . what do you y y to that ? ean another chilly weather day . are you right ñ ñ q ñ w q q t x i q marlena : i 've ruined roman ? john : um ... marlena : you believe that ? john : i did n't mean it the way it sound -- doc , come on , you 've got to admit , it has taken roman years to get over you , and i 'm not convinced that he has even yet . marlena : you 're implying that i want to have some control over roman 's heart . we stay close because of the children -- of sami and eric . john : right . because you share children . marlena : yes , that 's right . john : just like you do with tony . marlena : no . no , no , tony and i have n't raised the twins together . john : yeah , but you 're making up for lost time now , are n't you ? marlena : we 're trying to do the right thing . john : a dimera trying to do the right thing ... stefano dimera is responsible for all the hell you and roman and i lived through , remember ? marlena : tony is n't stefano . john : that 's right . stefano 's dead , but tony 's not . he 's alive a w well , living in salem , free to ruin the rest of our lives . marlena : you ca n't paint them with the same brush . that 's not fair . tony never chose to be a dimera . john : boy , he is good . he 's actually got you believing he 's a victim . marlena : you know what ? sometimes , he is . like when you choose to hate him , not because of what he 's done to you or done to us , but because he 's a dimera . john : that 's right , doc . give the guy a pass . he 's just an innocent man , trying to live a quiet , respectable life in the fine city of salem , right ? marlena : is that so hard to believe ? john : yes , damn it , it is ! marlena : your anger is unjustified , and you know what ? in my opinion , tony 's got far more reason to hate you . rex : why are you so curious about my work ? r rolf : well , i 'm , uh , i 'm a scientist , as well as a professor , rex . my curiosity 's only natural . after all , you 're one of the finest -- well , if not the finest -- students i 've ever had . rex : so that 's it ? you 're interested because i 'm your student . rolf : look , uh , rex , i know that you 've moved far beyond me in your capacity for learning . i 'm just curious about your development . i believe you 're going to do great things in the field of science . rex : and what about your other gifted students ? do you visit them at home and ask to see their projects ? rolf : well , i - i have , on occasion . i mean , not as often as i should , but , uh , then i 've taken a special interest in you . rex : why ? rolf : that 's complicated . rex : you know , people use that expression when they 're trying to hide the truth . rolf : it 's very astute of you . rex : so you are hiding something . what is it ? does it have to do with my father ? you 're not really a professor at salem university , are you ? there 's some other connection . rolf : connection ? rex : yeah , with me , with my sister . i 've felt it for a long time . who are you , really ? rolf : i 'm the doctor who delivered you and cassie . shawn - d : so you 're not upset anymore ? belle : about the girls ? no . not thrilled ... shawn - d : i - i was n't , either . belle : so how many ? shawn - d : how many what ? belle : girls . shawn - d : well , i lost count after the first 10 ... i do n't know . i just wanted to go to sleep . belle : i like this whole not being jealous thing . it feels good . shawn - d : there 's nothing to be jealous of . belle : that 's why i like it . i feel comfortable and calm . is that how you feel right now ? shawn - d : calm ? no , no , not really . not when you 're doing this . kate : nothing ? [ sighs ] a declaration of love , and the man has nothing to say ? roman : kate , i have very , very strong feelings for you . i 'm just not real good at the talking thing . but if you come over here , i will show you exactly how i feel . kate : no . roman : do you know how hard that was tonight , seeing you with tony like that , watching him dance with you like that ? i never knew i could be that jealous . look , i want to be the only man who touches you like that , and i want to be the only man who kisses you like this . kate : if you want me so badly , why ca n't you say the words that i want to hear ? roman : 'cause i got my own way of saying things . rex : wait a minute . what did i miss here , professor ? how could you be the doctor that delivered me and cassie ? rolf : i performed ma t tasks for stefano dimera over the years , rex , but none that 's as dear to my heart as bringing you and your sister into being . rex : into being ? is n't that a little over the top , even for a doctor ? rolf : well , it , uh , it applies in this case . you know , rex , everyone hates me for what i did . but i look at you , at how brilliant you are , and i say , how could it have been wrong ? rex : how could what have been wrong ? what are you talking about , professor ? it sounds to me like you were a lot more involved than an ordinary obstetrician . rolf : i think i 've said too much . rex : i think you better finish what you started , or you 'll have to answer to my father . rolf : i merely did what your grandfather wanted me to do . sperm was collected , eggs were fertilized , and voil ! perfect twins . a boy and a girl such as the world had never known before . rex : so we were an experiment ? rolf : well , only technically speaking . stefano dreamed of human perfection . i made that dream come true . r : : by playing god ? rolf : no , no , no , not me , rex . that was stefano 's role . i was merely the facilitator . and along the way , i came to care for those two remarkable babies . makes me very happy to see how beautiful you 've turned out . rex : so the experiment was a success ? rolf : oh , my , yes , by anyone 's measure . i , uh , i only hope you do n't feel exploited , rex . i had your best interests at heart . kate : i 'm not -- i 'm not sure about this . roman : i am . kate : i do n't know , it 's just i do n't feel that things are right between us . roman : everything is right about us , kate . kate : we need to talk . roman : not now . kate : then when ? roman : not now . belle : i want it to stay like this forever . shawn - d : okay . belle : no , shawn , i 'm serious . hodo we make sure that we stay happy , and that we do n't fall into a pattern of fighting about the same things over and over again ? > hahawn - d ; : i do n't know . belle : well , i 'm pretty sure it 's me more than you , so i 'm gon na make sure that i stay a little more relaxed about everything . shawn - d : i 'm not so sure about that . rolf : rex , i ca n't take credit for conceiving the idea to create you and cassie . the glory goes to stefano for that . i just did as he asked . and that was always the way with us . i was the servant , he was the master . rex : yeah , the word `` servant `` does n't really apply to you , professor . after all , you creeded human life . i do n't think eliana 's done that lately . rolf : no , no , probably not . so , uh , you 're not angry with me , you 're not sentful ? rex : no . you were just carrying out my grandfather 's wishes . i mean , after everything i 've read or heard about him , stefano dimera was n't the kind of man people said no to . rolf : that 's very true , rex . look , i 'm just relieved that you understand . rex : oh , i do . i completely understand . but what i do n't get is why grandfather wanted you to . why was it so important to bring cassie and me into being ? rolf : oh . believe me , rex , trying to understand the workings of stefano 's mind was an exercise in futility . but look , let 's talk about you , about that extraordinary superior intelligence . have you made any progress yet ? have you come up wi a anything groundbreaking ? do you need my help ? i would be honored to work with you , rex . rex : well , i do n't need any help right now , but i will remember your offer . rolf : ca n't you even share with me what your project is ? rex : later . when i 've had my first success , i 'll let you know . rolf : well , i 'll look forward to it . rex : uh , professor ... rolf : hmm ? rex : there 's something i 've been looking forward to for a while now . rolf : oh , really ? what 's that , rex ? rex : i 'm dying to see what your real hair looks like . rolf : my -- my real hair ? rex : come on , take off the wig , professor . rolf : i - i do n't know what you 're talking about . rex -- rex : bald . that 's what i figured . you know , you look a lot better without the rug . now , if you 'd just drop the accent ... it 's really cheesy , professor . what do you really sound like ? rolf : [ regular voice ] well , well , well . you are certainly one smart cookie . rex : german . of course . it 's nice to finally meet the real professor putnam . rolf : i can see there is no fooling you , rex . rex : that 's right . rolf : huh . before i go , let me give you the number of the motel where i am staying just outside town . 's 's the roadside motel . i 'm listed under my mother 's maiden name -- blitz . rex : got it . rolf : well , i will be in contact soon . rex : okay . rolf : ah , rex . rex , i am so proud of you . i am as proud as if i were your own father . rex : weird . rex : you think you 're proud of me now , just wait until my project is completed . then i 'll be the one making history . kate : [ laughs ] roman : oh , god .

brook lynn : you got me the loft ? carly : mm - hmm . sometimes you get lucky . or it 's karma working with me against dante and lulu , whatever . this puts you in striking distance . brook lynn : yeah , but how am i going to explain this , carly ? remember , i 'm a singer , i 'm broke , i have no cash . how could i possibly afford this place ? [ scene_break ] lulu : [ giggling ] we reek of garlic . dante : oh , i just was n't going to say anything . i figured we 're both in the same condition , so we just cancel each other out . lulu : oh . seriously , i think that you 're worse than me . dante : what ? lulu : did you brush your teeth ? dante : of course i brushed my teeth before we did something like this . you 're in the company of a gentleman . lulu : really ? woman : then you came around , and everything was clear , you came around , and all i need is here , you came around , you took me by surprise , you came around carly : tonight , when you 're getting horizontal with your heroic dante , make sure you look him in the eye and you see my son sitting in a cell . lulu : [ sighs ] dante : what 's wrong ? lulu : nothing . [ scene_break ] jason : the night i got here , was that the first time carter came after you ? michael : twice that day , actually . he came by my cell earlier to talk , and then ... then he came back again later . [ scene_break ] sonny : i kinda expected you to understand the situation a little better , but ... olivia : i do understand , sonny . and i 'm telling you right now , as someone who 's known you for a very long time , you need to change the way that you deal with women , okay ? and there 's no shame in that . talk to somebody . that 's what therapy 's for ! sonny : but you 're acting like i 'm some kind of animal like kiefer . yeah , i got a lot of rage inside of me . but i have n't been that way with all the women i 've been with . just the ones that push me and push me . but i 've never crossed the line . i love my daughter . i love her with everything i got . and i want to help her through this , but there 's no way that i 'm going to say i 'm an abuser when i 'm not . [ scene_break ] johnny : sorry , i should have thought before i put my arm around you . i meant nothing by it , by the way . i was just up there and saw the girls giving you a hard time and thought i could help out . kristina : well , it 's not your fault . it was n't you , it was me . you were great , actually . thanks for helping me out . johnny : sure . so what , they were busting your chops about kiefer ? kristina : basically . willow and ashton were friends of his . typical country club girls . and they were trying to convince me that no guy is ever going to look at me again . whatever . it 's not like i care . johnny : hey , do n't listen to 'em . okay , those girls , you got way more smarts and maturity than the two of them could ever have . kristina : thanks . now that they think i have this hot older boyfriend , who knows , maybe they might want to be my new best friend . johnny : [ chuckles ] are you sure you 're okay ? nothing else bothering you ? kristina : it 's just , when you put your arm around me , you 're tall like kiefer was . and i guess i just , for a second , it felt like you were him . [ scene_break ] olivia : i 'm not saying you 're like kiefer , sonny . i know that you would never hit a woman . but there 's a lot of other ways to be abusive . right ? sonny : okay . olivia : okay . see , i know what you want through . i know what deke did to you and your ma , and i can only imagine the things that you suffered through . and you were a little kid . i get that . but you survived , right ? sonny : mm - hmm . olivia : and you turned yourself into the kind of man that you wanted to be . you 're powerful , you 're successful , you got kids that mean the world to you . i mean , no one else would look at you and know what 's going on right under the surface . sonny : what 's the point ? olivia : my point is , my point is , do n't believe your own hype . sonny , okay , you can put one over on the whole rest of the world , but do n't put one over on yourself . okay , do n't get caught up in believing that , because you made something out of your life , that that abuse did n't have an effect on every part of you , okay ? it directly affects everything , especially the way that you treat other people . sonny : you 're talking like i think i 'm perfect , and i 'm nowhere near perfect . olivia : look , okay , you got carly claiming that you abused her . sonny : right . olivia : okay , maybe not physically , but in other ways . you 're gon na sit here and you 're gon na tell me that she 's lying , or she 's wrong , or what ? what that bastard deke did to you and your ma had a direct effect on your relationships with women . okay ? you need to admit that , and you need to get help . sonny : what kiefer did to kristina , i have not done to any woman . it 's not a fair comparison . olivia : i agree . i agree . and i know how much it must hurt you to know that your daughter thinks she saw the real you that night that you went off on claudia . okay . or that she would ever compare you to anybody like kiefer . but , sonny , kristina is confused right now . and that 's why you got ta get in there with her right now . you got ta show her that you 're willing to change , and that you can change . you got ta find a way to separate who you really are from all those ugly patterns that you grew up with . [ scene_break ] carly : relax , i already have a cover story in place . brook lynn : you do ? carly : mm - hmm . brook lynn : can i hear it , please ? carly : your dad decided to put you up . and if anyone asks , ned 's name is all over all the paperwork . brook lynn : and how did you do that ? carly : i have my ways . brook lynn : i 'm sure you do . but do you know my dad is in hong kong ? carly : mm - hmm , producing an album of cover music . yeah , i know . brook lynn : wow , somebody 's done her homework . carly : if anyone asks , your father was thrilled that you were back in town , he got you a place of your own so you do n't have to deal with his crazy family and live at the mansion . brook lynn : and the fact that it 's right across the hallway from dante , that 's just coincidence ? carly : not at all . when ned found out that there was an old family friend living in the building who happened to be a cop , well , he knew it was the place for his daughter . so now ned can sleep at night knowing that his daughter is going to be safe . brook lynn : wow . you are good . carly : yes , i am . now you need to get out of here and go check out your new bachelorette pad . i need a picture or video of dante cheating on lulu with you . and the second i get that , you get a check for $ 50,000 . i do n't know , you can use it to decorate . [ scene_break ] dante : are you okay ? lulu : it 's nothing , it 's nothing . dante : mmm . it 's just you almost chipped my tooth . lulu : i 'm sorry , i 'm sorry . i just , i do n't want to talk about it . dante : talk about what ? lulu : it 's no big deal , it 's just something i 'm going to have to get over . dante : okay . well , i mean , if you want to say it , maybe it 'll help . lulu : [ sighs ] it 's just something that carly said to me before , when she was upset about michael . she said ... when i 'm getting horizontal with you , she hopes that i think about her son in a prison cell . dante : wow . that 's , uh , that 's pretty harsh . it 's like a time - release mood killer . lulu : yeah , carly knows how to push people 's buttons . she 's a pro . dante : it was probably all those years she spent arguing with sonny , sharpening her skills . lulu : i mean , i think that carly would regret saying something like that now . i understand why she would say something like that in the heat of the moment . i mean , i was pretty defensive myself . but , you know , she 's been great to me after getting over the shock and anger phase . and she 's forgiven me . and she 's accepted her mistakes and how they 've impacted michael ... dante : but ? lulu : but i just , i end up feeling on some level that our happiness is at michael 's expense . dante : ah , yeah , there 's been a couple times where i 'm holding you and i 'm happy , feeling blessed and lucky , and then all of a sudden , i think about that kid in a prison cell , and i helped put him there . i feel like i 've , uh , let my little brother down completely . [ scene_break ] michael : there 's this big guard , frank . he 's been hassling me since the day i got here . he was talking smack about dad , threatening to kick my ass . this whole intimidation thing . and he was actually really going to hit me one day , with his club . and carter came in and he sent him off with a diversion . and carter said he was looking out for me . jason : what happened next ? michael : carter started saying weird things like how i owed him for saving me . and i tried to ignore it at first , but the day that you got transferred here , he came to my cell . and he was basically coming on to me . and he got close to me and he tried touching my hair . and so i waited for my chance , and i hit him as hard as i could and i ran out the cell and i went to the yard . and i waited just before lock - up . and i came back , and he was gone . then there was lock- down for the night and i thought i was safe . and then carter came back . and he somehow got to open up my cell door . [ scene_break ] robin : hi . patrick : hey . here , let me grab that from you . robin : thank you . patrick : the day you leave is always the craziest . robin : yeah , tell me about it . but i have good news . patrick : yeah ? robin : my dad is going to meet me in london on my layover , right before my last flight to africa . patrick : that 's great . robin : yeah . oh ! i smell chinese . patrick : [ chuckles ] robin : take - out from mulan ? patrick : yes . robin : the first place where we had dinner together . patrick : yeah , i figured emma and i would give you a proper send out before you take off . robin : did you get the kung - pao ? patrick : of course i got kung - pao . and there 's shrimp and broccoli , some pan- fried noodles , all your favorites . now i want you to sit back , relax . i 'm going to go get emma . robin : hey , babe ? patrick : yeah ? robin : thank you so much . this is perfect . this is exactly what i needed . patrick : well , you 're welcome . you know , we both love you and we 're going to miss you . [ scene_break ] kristina : i did n't mean to compare you to kiefer . you 're nothing like him . sorry . i 'm being ridiculous . johnny : no , look , you 've been through a lot . my old man used to hit me . but not as bad as what kiefer gave you , but still , it was pretty bad . kristina : your dad hit you ? johnny : yeah . he was a violent , mean old codger , that man . he still is . so i definitely , yes , i know what it feels like to take a good beating . you , uh , you get jumpy , right . and you 're always looking over your shoulder , waiting for that next hit to land . kristina : exactly . it almost feels like i never want to be touched by anyone . i told my mom i never want to be in a relationship again . but now i 'm starting to think that sounds really lonely . but how am i supposed to love someone again if i do n't even want to be touched ? johnny : well , you got ta give yourself time to heal . i 'm not just talking about from the cuts and the bruises . i 'm talking about up in here and here . good news is , you got plenty of time . you 're young , and seemingly resilient . so you got all the time in the world to find plenty of other guys who are much , much nicer . trust me . kristina : thanks . it really helps to talk to someone who 's been through the same thing . johnny : yeah . i used to talk to my sister about stuff like this . believe it or not , she was my go - to person in these situations . [ chuckles ] claudia was shockingly sane at times . and gave really great advice . i mean , between plotting to kill people and take over the world , of course . [ kristina laughs ] johnny : it 's good to hear you laugh . so ... you good ? you okay getting home ? i can give you a lift if you want . [ scene_break ] lulu : i 'm sorry i killed the mood . dante : no , do n't worry about it . it was n't your fault . it was carly , remember ? and do n't worry ; i think i 'll just get you to pay me back later . lulu : oh , i will . [ chuckles ] dante : look , you know , uh ... ah . lulu : thank you . dante : what you and i have together ... it 's not something either one of us needs to apologize for , feel guilty about . lulu : i know , i know , it 's just hard when i think about michael . this whole thing is so unfair . dante : yeah , i know . you 're right , and that 's why i 'm not giving up until i get him free . and it 's time i did something about that . [ scene_break ] sonny : i 'm nothing like deke . what he did was sick . but you 're right . it kills me that my daughter compares me to him . olivia : okay , then do something about it , sonny . make a change , and all those comparisons are going to disappear ! sonny : okay , okay . what do you want ? maybe i did some things , said some things that were n't politically correct , but that 's as far as it goes . and maybe i did , you know , i do n't know , cross the line a bit when i was married to carly , because we used to fight like cats and dogs . but underneath all that , there was love . but claudia was different . that was a business transaction that i thought would work out . for the sake of business . but it was impossible . she was a lying bitch . what do you want from me ? she got my son shot , put into a coma . so she deserved what she got ! olivia : no , you 're wrong . sonny : why am i wrong ? olivia : this is where you shoot yourself in the foot ! okay , instead of defending yourself in the way that you were with claudia , you should be looking at that time with her as a learning experience ; trying to see how you could have handled it different . you know i 'm not going to say anything , but claudia was awful . she was awful . but do n't defend what you said and what you did to her . to justify this , it just brings you down to her level . i 'm not a therapist , all right , but i do know this -- if you can change this one thing about yourself , i mean , think of what that would do for kristina . and for your boys . okay . and maybe ... who knows , maybe you can find a little bit of peace for yourself . [ scene_break ] michael : and carter was pissed and he came right at me . jason : and you fought him ? michael : i did . i did as hard as i could . but then he grabbed me . and i did everything i could to break free . but he put his arm around my neck and i , uh , i could n't breathe . jason : hey , it 's okay . you 're doing fine . you can tell me . you can tell me anything . michael : i was about to black out . then we heard people coming and carter ran off . that 's why i was so out of it when you saw me . i guess i was still in shock . [ scene_break ] carly : yes , brook just left and i gave her the keys to the loft directly across from dante 's . okay . now you make sure none of this paperwork traces back to me , right ? i need you to focus on this , spinelli . you need to lay off the video games , okay ? [ door opens ] carly : all right , well , i need to call you back . bye . jax : hey . carly : hey . jax : i just went to see michael . carly : how is he ? jax : he 's doing okay . he said not to worry about him . carly : like that 's going to happen . jax : yeah . he also asked me to do something for him , and i 'm not sure i can . carly : what ? jax : he asked me to stop trying to put sonny in prison . if there 's one thing i 've learned from all of this , it 's i do n't want to lie to any of you again . but the fact is , michael 's chances greatly increase of getting released if sonny 's put behind bars . carly : then you should do everything you can to put him there . [ scene_break ] kristina : thanks for the ride , and for helping me out with those girls . for once i 'm actually excited to go to school , now that everyone will think you 're my new boyfriend . i 'm sure ashton and willow have posted it all over the internet by now . johnny : heh . well , i guess it 's a good thing olivia 's not plugged into all that stuff . sam : what are you doing with my sister ? kristina : it 's okay , sam . he was just giving me a ride home after he helped me out with some stupid girls from school that were giving me a hard time about kiefer . thanks again . johnny : hmm . kristina : i 'll see you around , okay ? johnny : sure . sam : you stay inside for a second . hey , excuse me . if you were really trying to help my sister out , then thank you . but i know what 's going on between you and sonny . and if you think you 're going to use my sister in any way to get back at her father , that is not going to happen . [ scene_break ] sonny : i always believed ... therapy was for other people , weak people . 'cause , you know , i was taught to always hold everything in , carry it . so it was a big deal when i got help for this bi - polar thing , because i felt like it was a sign of weakness . olivia : yeah , but just the opposite was true , right ? you know that now . sonny : what i know is that i ca n't shut everything down . you know , i got ta face this stuff with deke .

[ scene_break ] olivia : dante , i know that you 're angry , okay . i 'm offering sonny some advice and some support . under the circumstances , i think it 's appropriate . dante : oh , i can not believe you are letting him play the victim again ! sonny : your mother and i were just talking , dante . like i said , your sister thinks that i 'm this abusive monster . your mother was just trying to help me out ! dante : you want help , sonny ? fine , here it is , real clear for you -- you are abusive . it might be a great idea for you to leave kristina alone , stay out of her life for a while . sonny : and michael 's in prison , thanks to you ! okay , so you hate me , we 're going to go down that road again ? i 've done plenty of things that justify it , but i do n't hit women ! dante : there are plenty of other types of abuse ! you yell at women , you intimidate them , you humiliate them in public . you want everybody to be afraid of you . okay ? on top of it all , you kill people and you justify it that it 's part of your business . you shot me point blank in the chest . are you really that surprised that kristina does n't want anything to do with you ? i wish to god carly had the guts that you had and kept michael away from you . you just do n't forget why you did that , okay ? you did that for me . you look at michael and kristina right now , 'cause that could have been me .

[ scene_break ] johnny : sorry , i should have thought before i put my arm around you . i meant nothing by it , by the way . i was just up there and saw the girls giving you a hard time and thought i could help out . kristina : well , it 's not your fault . it was n't you , it was me . you were great , actually . thanks for helping me out . johnny : sure . so what , they were busting your chops about kiefer ? kristina : basically . willow and ashton were friends of his . typical country club girls . and they were trying to convince me that no guy is ever going to look at me again . whatever . it 's not like i care . johnny : hey , do n't listen to 'em . okay , those girls , you got way more smarts and maturity than the two of them could ever have . kristina : thanks . now that they think i have this hot older boyfriend , who knows , maybe they might want to be my new best friend . johnny : [ chuckles ] are you sure you 're okay ? nothing else bothering you ? kristina : it 's just , when you put your arm around me , you 're tall like kiefer was . and i guess i just , for a second , it felt like you were him . [ scene_break ] olivia : i 'm not saying you 're like kiefer , sonny . i know that you would never hit a woman . but there 's a lot of other ways to be abusive . right ? sonny : okay . olivia : okay . see , i know what you want through . i know what deke did to you and your ma , and i can only imagine the things that you suffered through . and you were a little kid . i get that . but you survived , right ? sonny : mm - hmm . olivia : and you turned yourself into the kind of man that you wanted to be . you 're powerful , you 're successful , you got kids that mean the world to you . i mean , no one else would look at you and know what 's going on right under the surface . sonny : what 's the point ? olivia : my point is , my point is , do n't believe your own hype . sonny , okay , you can put one over on the whole rest of the world , but do n't put one over on yourself . okay , do n't get caught up in believing that , because you made something out of your life , that that abuse did n't have an effect on every part of you , okay ? it directly affects everything , especially the way that you treat other people . sonny : you 're talking like i think i 'm perfect , and i 'm nowhere near perfect . olivia : look , okay , you got carly claiming that you abused her . sonny : right . olivia : okay , maybe not physically , but in other ways . you 're gon na sit here and you 're gon na tell me that she 's lying , or she 's wrong , or what ? what that bastard deke did to you and your ma had a direct effect on your relationships with women . okay ? you need to admit that , and you need to get help . sonny : what kiefer did to kristina , i have not done to any woman . it 's not a fair comparison . olivia : i agree . i agree . and i know how much it must hurt you to know that your daughter thinks she saw the real you that night that you went off on claudia . okay . or that she would ever compare you to anybody like kiefer . but , sonny , kristina is confused right now . and that 's why you got ta get in there with her right now . you got ta show her that you 're willing to change , and that you can change . you got ta find a way to separate who you really are from all those ugly patterns that you grew up with .

[ scene_break ] michael : there 's this big guard , frank . he 's been hassling me since the day i got here . he was talking smack about dad , threatening to kick my ass . this whole intimidation thing . and he was actually really going to hit me one day , with his club . and carter came in and he sent him off with a diversion . and carter said he was looking out for me . jason : what happened next ? michael : carter started saying weird things like how i owed him for saving me . and i tried to ignore it at first , but the day that you got transferred here , he came to my cell . and he was basically coming on to me . and he got close to me and he tried touching my hair . and so i waited for my chance , and i hit him as hard as i could and i ran out the cell and i went to the yard . and i waited just before lock - up . and i came back , and he was gone . then there was lock- down for the night and i thought i was safe . and then carter came back . and he somehow got to open up my cell door .

[ chuckles ] dante : look , you know , uh ... ah . lulu : thank you . dante : what you and i have together ... it 's not something either one of us needs to apologize for , feel guilty about . lulu : i know , i know , it 's just hard when i think about michael . this whole thing is so unfair . dante : yeah , i know . you 're right , and that 's why i 'm not giving up until i get him free . and it 's time i did something about that . [ scene_break ] sonny : i 'm nothing like deke . what he did was sick . but you 're right . it kills me that my daughter compares me to him . olivia : okay , then do something about it , sonny . make a change , and all those comparisons are going to disappear ! sonny : okay , okay . what do you want ? maybe i did some things , said some things that were n't politically correct , but that 's as far as it goes . and maybe i did , you know , i do n't know , cross the line a bit when i was married to carly , because we used to fight like cats and dogs . but underneath all that , there was love . but claudia was different . that was a business transaction that i thought would work out . for the sake of business . but it was impossible . she was a lying bitch . what do you want from me ? she got my son shot , put into a coma . so she deserved what she got ! olivia : no , you 're wrong . sonny : why am i wrong ? olivia : this is where you shoot yourself in the foot ! okay , instead of defending yourself in the way that you were with claudia , you should be looking at that time with her as a learning experience ; trying to see how you could have handled it different . you know i 'm not going to say anything , but claudia was awful . she was awful . but do n't defend what you said and what you did to her . to justify this , it just brings you down to her level . i 'm not a therapist , all right , but i do know this -- if you can change this one thing about yourself , i mean , think of what that would do for kristina . and for your boys . okay . and maybe ... who knows , maybe you can find a little bit of peace for yourself . [ scene_break ] michael : and carter was pissed and he came right at me . jason : and you fought him ? michael : i did . i did as hard as i could . but then he grabbed me . and i did everything i could to break free . but he put his arm around my neck and i , uh , i could n't breathe . jason : hey , it 's okay . you 're doing fine . you can tell me . you can tell me anything . michael : i was about to black out . then we heard people coming and carter ran off . that 's why i was so out of it when you saw me . i guess i was still in shock .

what are you saying ? sabrina : she 's faking . there are women who sacrifice so much . sabrina : elizabeth never actually saw her get sick . she was already on the floor . patrick : well , maybe she passed out when she was alone . sabrina : yeah , well , it 's not that hard to fake morning sickness . in fact , it 's almost as easy as pretending that you 're gon na have an abortion when you have no intention of doing so . patrick : what ? sabrina : felix and i both think that britt told you she was gon na terminate the pregnancy in order to manipulate you into stopping her . britt : that is reprehensible . sabrina : oh , my point exactly . reprehensible is dr. westbourne 's m.o . patrick : sabrina , please ... sabrina : patrick , she was manipulating you , okay ? and it worked . and now you 've promised to take care of britt and the baby , but you know what ? that 's not enough for her . so she 's gon na fake this morning sickness in order to reel you in even more and ... that 's working , too . patrick : i would say that 's pretty elaborate . britt : yeah . sabrina : look , for anybody else ? yeah , maybe . but consider everything she 's done to you , to us , to emma . do you really think it 's that farfetched ? elizabeth : oh . it 's done . aj : yes ! okay , great ! okay , listen -- go back to your place , go get packed , and i 'll pick you up there in half an hour . elizabeth : okay . looking forward to it . aj : all right . uh -- oh ! spinelli . yeah , tell me -- what 's your good news . spinelli : well , i 'm happy to report that after much evasion on betsy frank 's part , i was able to extract information about your long - lost niece . aj : yes ! ha ha ! score one for the good guys . all right , we 're hot on lauren frank 's trail , and tracy is still in the dark . nice work . tracy : luke , you know where lauren frank is ? luke : once i was sure that lulu was okay , i put my attention where it was welcome . and i did come up with some information regarding the missing heiress . tracy : what did you find ? luke : her grandmother . all you need to know about that woman is that she considers heather webber one of her closest , dearest friends . tracy : ay . well , was the obviously disturbed woman any help at all ? luke : somewhat . i was able to wrangle out of her lauren frank 's latest address . she 's in new york city . aj : so , ms . frank corroborated what heather reported , that franco 's former wife , lauren 's mother , not only barred him from seeing his daughter but -- aj : who could blame her ? spinelli : right . but also barred the grandmother from contact , as well , and , as such , ms . frank is quite bitter , and so she graced me with a lead about lauren 's whereabouts . spinelli : where exactly are these leads leading us ? new york city . aj : great . good . get going before tracy figures out we know something she does n't . tracy : oh , you great big beautiful bounder ! luke : mmm ! tracy : oh . i knew that ... i would be better off with you than with that bumbling sock puppet that aj hired . luke : well , that bumbling sock puppet also found betsy . maxie : what 's up ? how 's lulu ? dante : pretty much the same . i think i made a little bit of progress yesterday , though . maxie : is she starting to remember ? dante : sort of . we were at the floating rib . i was telling her how we met there , and it seemed like something was coming back to her , and then milo walks in , and then whatever memory that was was gone . maxie : well , that sounds like progress . dante : right , right . so i want to take advantage of that . i think if she sees you now , it 'll help nudge her in the right direction , especially when she sees how pregnant you are with our kid . nikolas : lulu , you just finished my sentence . lulu : i did . nikolas : i said that to you many years ago . do you remember ? love comes and goes when it wants . what we 're left with is what we 're meant to carry , i suppose . i mean , if it were easy ... would n't mean much to have ... or lose . lulu : [ scoffs ] no , it ... it 's gone . it 's gone . nikolas : that 's all right . milo : hey , nikolas . nikolas : milo . milo : i heard you were up and around after taking that bullet . nikolas : yeah , and i heard that you were harboring my traumatized sister against dante 's wishes . lulu : no , please do n't be mad at milo , okay ?

people who love you ... they wo n't abandon you , no matter how tough it gets for them . you 're worth too much to everyone . milo : you okay ? lulu : oh , god , milo . i 'm hurting so many people . dante : so , you come with me , come see her ? maxie : well , connie gave me the morning off so i could go to my checkup , but if we hurry , we could see lulu before my appointment . come on . ellie : detective falconeri , wait ! this day calls you . [ doorbell rings ] elizabeth : aj 's here . tracy : spinelli found lauren frank 's grandmother , too ? luke : that 's what i just said . tracy : well , why are you still standing here saying it ? could you please head frodo off at the pass ? luke : relax , spanky . spinelli is not gon na be a problem . tracy : why am i not reassured ? oh , i know . because every time you say something 's not gon na be a problem , it always ends up being a problem . [ door closes ] tracy : if aj beats me to the punch ... aj : did i hear somebody say something about a punch ? tracy : yes . want one ? aj : mm . you know , tracy , maybe you ought to really consider getting out of the relish game . i do n't know . maybe consider , uh ... non - carbonated soft drinks . i mean , anything 's better than that poor excuse for a condiment that you 're calling pickle - tracy . tracy : if you are referring to the relish formerly known as pickle - lila , i have complete confidence in the quality of my product . aj : yeah , i do n't know . i just think that maybe the branding is off , you know ? maybe you ought to change the name to , um ... sour - tracy . and that way , the name will match the face on the outside . luke . luke : aj . tracy : what my nephew does n't know is that my relish is no longer called pickle - tracy . i give you ... pickle - eddie . luke : you put edward 's face on the jar ? tracy : pickle - eddie and i are going to ambush aj on `` the chew `` tomorrow . luke : oh , daytime tv . how industrious of you . tracy : well , actually , it 's my new business partner -- nikolas cassadine . he used his princely influence to get us booked . my father would be so proud to know that his face and i are gon na be on national television . luke : well , personally , i would never eat anything with this crusty old curmudgeon 's grumpy face on it . and adding nikolas cassadine to the mix does n't exactly make it more appetizing . tracy : i 'm gon na assume that your sudden mood swing has something to do with your concern over lulu 's well - being . or maybe it 's ... laura . scott : what if -- and this is a big `` what if `` -- what if she does n't get her memory back ? laura : i need my daughter to be at our wedding . until she gets her memory back , there is n't gon na be a wedding . sorry . non - negotiable . scott : i know , but you got to be realistic . i mean ... this could go on for a very long time . laura : yeah . it could . scott : so , you 're okay with the wait . are you sure that this is about lulu , or are you delaying our wedding because of luke ? milo : can you tell me what happened with nikolas ? lulu : well , he said he 's my brother -- my half brother . and obviously , he cares about me , and he seemed really , really nice . and i just wish that i had any idea who he was at all . and dante ? dante tried so hard last night to help me remember the first time we met , and i ... milo : did it work ? lulu : a little . i ... i think it did . there was , like , this tiny flash of something , and , uh ... and then you walked into the bar , and ... it was just gone . milo : i 'm sorry . lulu : no . do n't be if anyone should be sorry ... it should be me . milo : why ? what did you do ? lulu : that 's the point . i have n't done anything . poor dante is ... he 's trying too hard . and i 'm not trying at all -- not really . i ... he 's full of so much hope , milo , and i ... i let him down . i just keep letting him down . i 'm letting everyone down . dante : ellie , is it important ? ellie : i ... i just wanted to say i hope lulu recovers . maxie : oh , great . come on . come on , dante , let 's go . dante : yeah . spinelli : oh . dante , maxie -- maxie : sorry , spinelli , we do n't have time ! spinelli : okay . hey . uh ... were they rushing out because something 's wrong with the baby ? ellie : um , no . they just wanted to see lulu to try to jog her memory . spinelli : well , i hope it works . ellie : yeah , as do i . spinelli : ellie , i know that face . that 's your crisis face . so that begs the question ... what crisis is brewing now ? ellie : [ sighs ] you have no idea . spinelli : you know , i think i do . you lied to me about maxie 's baby . britt : it 's okay , patrick . i have n't really given sabrina any other reason to think -- oh . oh , i am -- i 'm so sorry . i just -- i need to close my eyes for just a minute . patrick : relax . britt : oh . patrick : once we get the blood work back , we 'll put an i.v . in and combat the dehydration . in the meantime ... here . drink this . britt : thank you . [ door opens ] patrick : excuse me for a second . sabrina . hey . sabrina : patrick , how can you give her the benefit of the doubt ? patrick : i 'm sorry , okay ? look , i 'm sorry for going off on you . i was just surprised to walk in and see you yelling at her like that . sabrina : i was only yelling at her because she 's lying . patrick : probably . yeah , she 's probably lying . sabrina : okay . so you do n't believe her . patrick : frankly , she 's probably lying about everything . look , i know that she did terrible things to you and emma , and i do n't trust her . sabrina : but what ? patrick : but , frankly , i ... i ca n't jump to the same conclusions that everyone else is jumping to . sabrina : i did n't jump to any conclusions . i just took a few small steps , and there the conclusions were . patrick : listen to me -- as a doctor , but , more importantly , as a father to that child , i have to take her health at face value , all right ? as far as her manipulating me with the abortion -- sabrina : she did . she was , just like she 's manipulating you with the pregnancy . patrick : it does n't matter anymore . sabrina : patrick , i really think felix is right about this . and britt is not gon na stop . patrick : sabrina ... sabrina : okay . look , did you get a chance to talk to britt 's ob ? i mean , is this terrible morning sickness new , or has she had it all along , and if so , how come she did n't say anything about it ? patrick : her ob was on her way to delivery . they took blood work yesterday . i 'm waiting for the results . excuse me , dr. drake , i have dr. westbourne 's blood work from yesterday and today . dr. v left instructions to give this directly to you . patrick : thank you . thanks . sabrina : i 'm willing to bet that those results prove that she 's lying her heart out in there . patrick : we 'll find out if you 're right . septic system breakdowns affect over 1 million homes a year ... elizabeth : what are you doing here ? nikolas : obviously , i came to see you . and it looks like i got a bonus ! is that aiden ? huh ? come here ! elizabeth : aiden , this is your daddy 's brother . it 's uncle nikolas . nikolas : come here . give me a hug . give me a big hug . look at you . here . here you go . oh , gosh , the last time i saw you , you were ... like a little peanut . so big . i 'm sorry . i hope you do n't mind me surprising you like this . elizabeth : no , it 's -- it 's fine , always . nikolas : i mean , i did -- i did warn you that i was n't gon na give up on you , did n't i ? elizabeth : nikolas ... aj and i worked things out . nikolas : you did . elizabeth : in fact , he 's on his way over here right now . he 's taking me to new york for the night . nikolas : oh . scott : you were gone with luke for a very long time . laura : yes , searching for our daughter . scott : okay , but look at it from my perspective . night after night , laura , i did n't know whether you were dead or alive . laura : scotty , there was no way to reach you . if i could have called , i would have . scott : you asked me to look after nikolas , and i did . i got very little sleep waiting for him to recover while you were off on some adventure with luke looking for your daughter . luke : laura and i were n't exactly on a pleasure cruise , spanky . tracy : exactly my point . it was more of an adventure . luke : it was a rescue mission to save our daughter from a madman . tracy : yeah . there is nothing romantic about that . luke : will you get off this sentiment ? ! it does n't wear well on you . stick to the facts . tracy : such as ? luke : such as she 's planning to marry that reptilian shyster baldwin . tracy : [ laughing ] oh ! there 's the dark mood . luke : no , the dark mood has to do with you heckling me about a subject that is , has been , and forever will be closed ! tracy : really ? and what exactly were you doing right before you found out that stavros had nabbed lulu ? you donned your superhero cape and swooped into the courtroom and prevented laura from marrying the wrong groom . luke : your point ? tracy : why do n't you stage a repeat performance ? laura : we were so worried about our daughter , we did n't have time to reminisce . scott : yes , but before lulu disappeared , he interrupted our wedding . laura : i recall . scott : okay . so what are you gon na do the next time we go to get married and he interrupts ? [ knock on door ] milo : i should get that . dante : what the hell is this ? maxie : hi , milo . nice abs . what you working on there , an eight - pack ? milo : just doing a little -- dante : dude , go put some freaking clothes on ! you 're in here with my wife , for crying out loud . maxie : huh . lulu : dante ... dante : lulu , this is maxie . maxie : hi , lulu . i 'm maxie , your best friend , although you do get mad at me sometimes . lulu : maxie . right . of course . dante : you remember her ? lulu : um , no . just what you told me ... that , um ... you 're carrying the child that dante says we want . maxie : yeah . see ? it 's your baby in there , rolling around like it 's running laps . dante : if -- if i may ? spinelli : you promised me that you would refrain from delving into this alleged mystery of maxie 's , and then you turn around and , in one phone call , you took advantage of my trust and of my technical prowess . ellie , you tricked me into helping you hack into maxie 's personal medical records , which is not only unethical but it 's illegal . ellie : i was convinced that maxie and dr. westbourne were hiding something . i thought there could be a serious problem with the baby . you knew how concerned i was . spinelli : and you knew how loathe i was for us to get involved in maxie 's personal affairs . and , ultimately , this breach of trust and breaking the law was for nothing , right ? the only positive outcome of this relentless pursuit is that your suspicion has been disproved . dr. westbourne and maxie are n't hiding anything . ellie : yes , they are . patrick : your ob , dr. v , gave me permission to go over your blood work , and i 'm ... i 'm afraid there 's an issue . britt : what is it ? there 's not anything wrong with our baby , is there ? patrick : your blood work shows that your suffering from hyperemesis gravidarum . britt : oh , my god . patrick : it happens . you know , it 's the same illness that put kate middleton in the hospital in her early pregnancy . because of your low potassium levels , there 's concern for cardiac arrhythmias in both you and the baby , and i do n't have to tell you that that ... could be fatal . britt : well , sabrina ... i really wish i was faking . if you 're looking for help relieving heartburn , laura : i do n't want to talk about luke . i just want to see my daughter . scott : i 'm sorry . i do n't mean to badger you . it 's just an occupational hazard . laura : [ laughs ] scott : you know , i just -- i just missed you , and i want us to get married before anything else happens . laura : nothing 's going to happen . in fact , i will take you out to dinner tonight to prove it to you . scott : you 're taking me to dinner tonight ? laura : if you 're accepting . scott : i 'm accepting . laura : okay , great . i 'll meet you here in the lobby at 7 : 30 . scott : okay . well , i 've wasted enough of your time . let 's get these pictures over to lulu and hope she gets her memory back . laura : thank you . scott : so there 's no reason for you not to marry me . luke : what you 're saying is , instead of sniffing out lauren frank , i should be snuffing out laura and baldwin 's wedding . tracy : oh , luke . that is exactly what i 'm not saying . you have plenty of time to thwart your rival 's next attempt to marry your stupid soul mate . what you should be doing is looking for the errant heir with the elq shares . luke : i 'll get right on it . tracy : thank you . luke : soon . tracy : no . the nature of getting `` right on it `` is now , not soon . luke : first i have to make sure my daughter is okay . tracy : well , i agree . you have to make sure lulu is okay , and once you are sure she is safe , bring me my niece before spinelli finds her for aj . luke : thank you for your compassion . tracy : [ sighs ] aj : [ laughs ] wait a second . hold on . do n't tell me . do n't tell me . you just tried to bribe luke to coming back to you , but even he 's not that desperate for cash , right ? tracy : nice luggage . you finally going to rehab , or are you getting extradited ? i know you 're not leaving mommy 's home to make it in the big world as an adult . aj : you 'll find out soon enough . bye . tracy : yep . nikolas and i will be there to see you . nikolas : so , uh , you and aj going to new york for fun or ... ? elizabeth : for me , yes , but aj 's gon na be on the tv show `` the chew . `` he 's showcasing his grandmother 's relish . nikolas : really ? a little soon for overnights . elizabeth : we 're in separate rooms . nikolas : well , i 'm sure , if aj stays true to form , there will be a mix - up with the reservation , and the only room available will be the honeymoon suite -- elizabeth : that 'll be perfect . and then he can sleep in the heart - shaped jacuzzi . nikolas : so , where you staying ? elizabeth : hotel central . nikolas : oh , nice . elizabeth : i 'm sorry if i 'm hurting you . i just feel like i at least need to see where things go with aj nikolas : it 's all right . i 'm not hurt . i 'm jealous . but , you know , i get it , just as long as you get that it does n't change anything . i want you . elizabeth : i need to go back . nikolas : okay . you have fun in new york . and , uh , i 'll see you around , okay ? elizabeth : okay . sabrina : you two probably need to talk . excuse me .

[ laughs ] wow . wow . dante : that 's our baby , lulu . we saw the baby 's sonogram picture . i mean , it was -- it was really something else . dante : that 's a strong heartbeat . i mean , that is a strong heartbeat , right ? britt : everything looks perfect . lulu : i ca n't believe this . that 's our baby . you still think it looks like an alien ? dante : are you kidding me ? that is the most beautiful thing i have ever seen . it 's a little part of you and me . we heard the baby 's heartbeat that day . it was the most amazing sound we 'd ever heard . it was one of the greatest moments of our life together . what is it ? what is it ? something 's coming back , right ? lulu : yeah . milo : i am dressed now , so it is all good . dante : milo , did anyone ever tell you you have the worst timing ever ? lulu : you know , i do n't -- i do n't know if i 'm remembering it , or maybe i 'm just imagining what you 're describing . i 'm not sure . maxie : i have an idea . why do n't you come with me to my doctor 's appointment ? lulu : is that okay ? maxie : yeah . you guys were doing it all the time , and maybe if you 're at the place where you saw the sonogram for the first time , you 'll remember something . spinelli : is there something wrong with the baby ? ellie : the baby 's healthy , but maxie and dr. westbourne are definitely keeping a secret . spinelli : but you already told me that you searched maxie 's medical records and found nothing amiss . ellie : not true . i most definitely found something amiss . patrick : are you okay ? sabrina : yeah , i 'm fine . look , i do regret going off on her the way i did before . it was unprofessional , and i did n't have any evidence . patrick : it 's understandable . after everything britt pulled on you , it 's no wonder you think she 's faking . believe me , i 've thought the same thing . sabrina : and then we got the test results . patrick : and it 's conclusive . look , like it or not , britt is pregnant with my child , and i am her sole source of support , okay ? sabrina , i have to make sure that this baby 's healthy . sabrina : of course . i understand . britt : thanks again for helping me out . i really appreciate it . brad : yeah , no problem , as long as you remember to keep up your end of the deal . britt : yeah , yeah , do n't worry . i 'll make sure you get that promotion . quid pro quo .

nikolas visits lulu at milo 's apartment . he tells her that laura is his mother and stavros cassadine is his father . he apologizes for failing to save her from his father . he wonders why she is at milo 's place . she says dante loves her to much to be around him . he says , `` if love were easy , then it would n't mean much to have it . `` she finishes his sentence , but says she does n't remember how she knew it . lulu observes to milo that she is hurting a lot of people . she says dante is trying too hard , but she is n't trying at all . milo puts his arms around her . dante and maxie knock on the door . milo answers it wearing only underwear and an open robe . maxie likes the view , but dante orders milo to out on some clothes . lulu does n't remember maxie . dante puts lulu 's hand on maxie 's belly . the baby moves . maxie invites lulu to go with her to her check - up . at the hospital , patrick hears sabrina calling britt out on faking morning sickness to get patrick 's attention . she says it is no more difficult to fake morning sickness than it is to pretend to want an abortion that you have no intention of having . patrick follows sabrina outside and tells her that he knows that britt is probably lying about everything , but that as a doctor and potential father , he has to take medical issues at face value . a technician brings britt 's lab results to patrick . patrick relays to that there is a serious problem with her pregnancy . later , britt thanks the lab technician for faking the report and promises him a promotion in return . spinelli confronts ellie about lying to him to get him to help her break the law and hack into maxie 's medical records . she tells him that she found out that maxie had a miscarriage .

nikolas : nikolas . laura : so , i 'm on my way to lulu 's . i want to show her this photo album , hoping some of these old pictures will jog her memory . you know what i mean ? i will call , okay ? scott : hold on a second . before you go , uh ... something i want to talk to you about . it 's -- it 's been on my mind . laura : what is it ? scott : it 's us . spinelli : ellie , it is i , damian . i 'm pleased to report that i have returned triumphant to port charles , and once i deliver my findings to my client , aj quartermaine , i will head over to your abode . we have much to discuss . maxie : so , when spinelli gets here , are you gon na keep your mouth shut , or are you going to tell him this baby i 'm carrying is his and not dante and lulu 's ?

luke : yeah , drake , for about five minutes . her memory is gone , but her personality is intact . she refused to sit still for five minutes so that he could do some tests . she just ran off , and now she 's shacked up , i understand , with one of sonny 's buffy boys . tracy : wow . certainly hope it 's max because if she does n't remember dante and she shacks up with magic milo -- ooh - ooh ! luke : i do n't know , tracy . i do n't know how to get to her . every time i try to make a move , she just ... well , she gets spooked , and i just had to back off . tracy : luke , i 'm sorry this has happened . i know how much you care for lulu , and i love her , too . luke : i know . thanks . tracy : there . well ... my concern for lulu aside , i entrusted you with a very important task , and if you could n't complete it , you should 've told me . luke : what makes you think i did n't complete the task ? tracy : i am assuming that procuring lauren frank 's elq shares has fallen way off your radar , and i 'm gon na have to hire someone else to do your job . luke : oh , tracy , what have i done to deserve this ... lack of confidence ? in fact , i do have information regarding the missing heiress . aj : come on . you got to give me a shot at making up for the way i behaved with nikolas . elizabeth : yeah , well , that you do need to do . aj : i do . and you know , it 'll also give me a chance to show you how much i -- i appreciate your patience and your grace , your beauty , with a little quality time , alone -- no kids , no hospital . come on . elizabeth : no ! aj : come on . elizabeth : okay , listen -- if my grandmother can do it ... then i 'm in . aj : yes ! all right . i did n't think this day could get any better . spinelli : i think it can . in fact , i 'm certain it will . ellie : as the child 's biological father , he has the right to know . maxie : have you thought about how badly this could misfire for you ? babies bring people together . do you really want this child bringing me closer to spinelli ? and have you thought about what it would do to dante and lulu ? lulu : are you sure that we 're related ? because i see less than no resemblance . nikolas : i know . that 's because i 'm your half brother . laura is our mother . my father is stavros cassad -- lulu : stavros ? that 's the psycho who did this to me . nikolas : yes , i know , lulu , and -- and i 'm sorry . you have to know that i did everything i could to stop him . and i 'm sorry , but i failed . i -- i even took a bullet in the process . lulu : you took a bullet for me ? nikolas : yes . not on purpose , but yes . lulu : wait . so you 're saying that your father and my mother -- nikolas : our mother . they were -- they were married once . it was a long time ago . it 's a long story . lulu : so that would make you nikolas cassadine . nikolas : correct . but in the interest of full disclosure , my name is prince nikolas mikhail stavrosovich cassadine . lulu : that 's a mouthful . nikolas : i know . may i ? lulu : uh , yeah . i 'm sorry . yeah , come in . nikolas : you usually call me nikolas , but ... actually , that 's not entirely true . when you were a little girl , you -- you called me nikki . lulu : oh . how can you be related to him ? nikolas : my family has hurt yours in a countless number of ways . maybe you do n't want to remember who i am because i 'm a cassadine , and that 's okay . lulu : no , it 's not true . i want to remember everyone and everything , good , bad , and otherwise . i do . nikolas : all right , that 's great to hear . but if it 's true , i ... i have to ask you , lulu -- what are you doing here ? lulu : dante wants me to remember everything right now , and it 's too much pressure . i mean , do n't get me wrong . i want to remember my husband , but when i look at him , he just loves me so much , you know ? nikolas : yes , i do . lulu : he keeps swearing that he 's never gon na give up on me , but i ... i mean , i can see what all this is doing to him . nikolas : well , if love were easy ... would n't mean much to have it . lulu : or to lose it . nikolas : i said those words to you once . you remember that ? maxie : dante and lulu are in the middle of a crisis . dante 's wife does n't even recognize him . are you going to make him feel even worse by telling him he 's not gon na be a father ? [ knock on door ] dante : maxie , it 's dante . maxie : not one word . dante : you in there ? it 's important . maxie : hey , come on in . dante : hey . ellie : [ sighs ] patrick : what are you doing ? why are you yelling at britt like that ? britt : yeah , i 'd like to know the same thing . here i am , minding my own business , trying to think of anything else besides morning sickness , and out of nowhere , sabrina starts screaming at me . patrick : sabrina , i 'm pretty sure that you can see that she 's not feeling well . sabrina : i can see that she wants you to think she 's not feeling well . patrick : what does that mean ? what are you saying ? sabrina : she 's faking . there are women who sacrifice so much . sabrina : elizabeth never actually saw her get sick . she was already on the floor . patrick : well , maybe she passed out when she was alone . sabrina : yeah , well , it 's not that hard to fake morning sickness . in fact , it 's almost as easy as pretending that you 're gon na have an abortion when you have no intention of doing so . patrick : what ? sabrina : felix and i both think that britt told you she was gon na terminate the pregnancy in order to manipulate you into stopping her . britt : that is reprehensible . sabrina : oh , my point exactly . reprehensible is dr. westbourne 's m.o . patrick : sabrina , please ... sabrina : patrick , she was manipulating you , okay ? and it worked . and now you 've promised to take care of britt and the baby , but you know what ? that 's not enough for her . so she 's gon na fake this morning sickness in order to reel you in even more and ... that 's working , too . patrick : i would say that 's pretty elaborate . britt : yeah . sabrina : look , for anybody else ? yeah , maybe . but consider everything she 's done to you , to us , to emma . do you really think it 's that farfetched ? elizabeth : oh . it 's done . aj : yes ! okay , great ! okay , listen -- go back to your place , go get packed , and i 'll pick you up there in half an hour . elizabeth : okay . looking forward to it . aj : all right . uh -- oh ! spinelli . yeah , tell me -- what 's your good news . spinelli : well , i 'm happy to report that after much evasion on betsy frank 's part , i was able to extract information about your long - lost niece . aj : yes ! ha ha ! score one for the good guys . all right , we 're hot on lauren frank 's trail , and tracy is still in the dark . nice work . tracy : luke , you know where lauren frank is ? luke : once i was sure that lulu was okay , i put my attention where it was welcome . and i did come up with some information regarding the missing heiress . tracy : what did you find ? luke : her grandmother . all you need to know about that woman is that she considers heather webber one of her closest , dearest friends . tracy : ay . well , was the obviously disturbed woman any help at all ? luke : somewhat . i was able to wrangle out of her lauren frank 's latest address . she 's in new york city . aj : so , ms . frank corroborated what heather reported , that franco 's former wife , lauren 's mother , not only barred him from seeing his daughter but -- aj : who could blame her ? spinelli : right . but also barred the grandmother from contact , as well , and , as such , ms . frank is quite bitter , and so she graced me with a lead about lauren 's whereabouts . spinelli : where exactly are these leads leading us ? new york city . aj : great . good . get going before tracy figures out we know something she does n't . tracy : oh , you great big beautiful bounder ! luke : mmm ! tracy : oh . i knew that ... i would be better off with you than with that bumbling sock puppet that aj hired . luke : well , that bumbling sock puppet also found betsy . maxie : what 's up ? how 's lulu ? dante : pretty much the same . i think i made a little bit of progress yesterday , though . maxie : is she starting to remember ? dante : sort of . we were at the floating rib . i was telling her how we met there , and it seemed like something was coming back to her , and then milo walks in , and then whatever memory that was was gone . maxie : well , that sounds like progress . dante : right , right . so i want to take advantage of that . i think if she sees you now , it 'll help nudge her in the right direction , especially when she sees how pregnant you are with our kid . nikolas : lulu , you just finished my sentence . lulu : i did . nikolas : i said that to you many years ago . do you remember ? love comes and goes when it wants . what we 're left with is what we 're meant to carry , i suppose . i mean , if it were easy ... would n't mean much to have ... or lose . lulu : [ scoffs ] no , it ... it 's gone . it 's gone . nikolas : that 's all right . milo : hey , nikolas . nikolas : milo . milo : i heard you were up and around after taking that bullet . nikolas : yeah , and i heard that you were harboring my traumatized sister against dante 's wishes . lulu : no , please do n't be mad at milo , okay ? i want to be here . i -- i feel really safe here . milo : yeah . you got to know that i would never , ever do anything to hurt lulu . nikolas : you better not , or you 'll answer to me . not good . milo : get in line . nikolas : listen , lulu , i 'm sorry , but i have to run . i have a business trip , okay ? lulu : oh , um , well , how long will you be gone ? nikolas : just a couple of days , and i promise i 'll come back and see you as soon as i return . lulu : i would really like that . nikolas : listen ... if you remember nothing else , just remember this one thing , okay ? people who love you ... they wo n't abandon you , no matter how tough it gets for them . you 're worth too much to everyone . milo : you okay ? lulu : oh , god , milo . i 'm hurting so many people . dante : so , you come with me , come see her ? maxie : well , connie gave me the morning off so i could go to my checkup , but if we hurry , we could see lulu before my appointment . come on . ellie : detective falconeri , wait ! this day calls you . [ doorbell rings ] elizabeth : aj 's here . tracy : spinelli found lauren frank 's grandmother , too ? luke : that 's what i just said . tracy : well , why are you still standing here saying it ? could you please head frodo off at the pass ? luke : relax , spanky . spinelli is not gon na be a problem . tracy : why am i not reassured ? oh , i know . because every time you say something 's not gon na be a problem , it always ends up being a problem . [ door closes ] tracy : if aj beats me to the punch ... aj : did i hear somebody say something about a punch ? tracy : yes . want one ? aj : mm . you know , tracy , maybe you ought to really consider getting out of the relish game . i do n't know . maybe consider , uh ... non - carbonated soft drinks . i mean , anything 's better than that poor excuse for a condiment that you 're calling pickle - tracy . tracy : if you are referring to the relish formerly known as pickle - lila , i have complete confidence in the quality of my product . aj : yeah , i do n't know . i just think that maybe the branding is off , you know ? maybe you ought to change the name to , um ... sour - tracy . and that way , the name will match the face on the outside . luke . luke : aj . tracy : what my nephew does n't know is that my relish is no longer called pickle - tracy . i give you ... pickle - eddie . luke : you put edward 's face on the jar ? tracy : pickle - eddie and i are going to ambush aj on `` the chew `` tomorrow . luke : oh , daytime tv . how industrious of you . tracy : well , actually , it 's my new business partner -- nikolas cassadine . he used his princely influence to get us booked . my father would be so proud to know that his face and i are gon na be on national television . luke : well , personally , i would never eat anything with this crusty old curmudgeon 's grumpy face on it . and adding nikolas cassadine to the mix does n't exactly make it more appetizing . tracy : i 'm gon na assume that your sudden mood swing has something to do with your concern over lulu 's well - being . or maybe it 's ... laura . scott : what if -- and this is a big `` what if `` -- what if she does n't get her memory back ? laura : i need my daughter to be at our wedding . until she gets her memory back , there is n't gon na be a wedding . sorry . non - negotiable . scott : i know , but you got to be realistic . i mean ... this could go on for a very long time . laura : yeah . it could . scott : so , you 're okay with the wait . are you sure that this is about lulu , or are you delaying our wedding because of luke ? milo : can you tell me what happened with nikolas ? lulu : well , he said he 's my brother -- my half brother . and obviously , he cares about me , and he seemed really , really nice . and i just wish that i had any idea who he was at all . and dante ? dante tried so hard last night to help me remember the first time we met , and i ... milo : did it work ? lulu : a little . i ... i think it did . there was , like , this tiny flash of something , and , uh ... and then you walked into the bar , and ... it was just gone . milo : i 'm sorry . lulu : no . do n't be if anyone should be sorry ... it should be me . milo : why ? what did you do ? lulu : that 's the point . i have n't done anything . poor dante is ... he 's trying too hard . and i 'm not trying at all -- not really . i ... he 's full of so much hope , milo , and i ... i let him down . i just keep letting him down . i 'm letting everyone down . dante : ellie , is it important ? ellie : i ... i just wanted to say i hope lulu recovers . maxie : oh , great . come on . come on , dante , let 's go . dante : yeah . spinelli : oh . dante , maxie -- maxie : sorry , spinelli , we do n't have time ! spinelli : okay . hey . uh ... were they rushing out because something 's wrong with the baby ? ellie : um , no . they just wanted to see lulu to try to jog her memory . spinelli : well , i hope it works . ellie : yeah , as do i . spinelli : ellie , i know that face . that 's your crisis face . so that begs the question ... what crisis is brewing now ? ellie : [ sighs ] you have no idea . spinelli : you know , i think i do . you lied to me about maxie 's baby . britt : it 's okay , patrick . i have n't really given sabrina any other reason to think -- oh . oh , i am -- i 'm so sorry . i just -- i need to close my eyes for just a minute . patrick : relax . britt : oh . patrick : once we get the blood work back , we 'll put an i.v . in and combat the dehydration . in the meantime ... here . drink this . britt : thank you . [ door opens ] patrick : excuse me for a second . sabrina . hey . sabrina : patrick , how can you give her the benefit of the doubt ? patrick : i 'm sorry , okay ? look , i 'm sorry for going off on you . i was just surprised to walk in and see you yelling at her like that . sabrina : i was only yelling at her because she 's lying . patrick : probably . yeah , she 's probably lying . sabrina : okay . so you do n't believe her . patrick : frankly , she 's probably lying about everything . look , i know that she did terrible things to you and emma , and i do n't trust her . sabrina : but what ? patrick : but , frankly , i ... i ca n't jump to the same conclusions that everyone else is jumping to . sabrina : i did n't jump to any conclusions . i just took a few small steps , and there the conclusions were . patrick : listen to me -- as a doctor , but , more importantly , as a father to that child , i have to take her health at face value , all right ? as far as her manipulating me with the abortion -- sabrina : she did . she was , just like she 's manipulating you with the pregnancy . patrick : it does n't matter anymore . sabrina : patrick , i really think felix is right about this . and britt is not gon na stop . patrick : sabrina ... sabrina : okay . look , did you get a chance to talk to britt 's ob ? i mean , is this terrible morning sickness new , or has she had it all along , and if so , how come she did n't say anything about it ? patrick : her ob was on her way to delivery . they took blood work yesterday . i 'm waiting for the results . excuse me , dr. drake , i have dr. westbourne 's blood work from yesterday and today . dr. v left instructions to give this directly to you . patrick : thank you . thanks . sabrina : i 'm willing to bet that those results prove that she 's lying her heart out in there . patrick : we 'll find out if you 're right . septic system breakdowns affect over 1 million homes a year ... elizabeth : what are you doing here ? nikolas : obviously , i came to see you . and it looks like i got a bonus ! is that aiden ? huh ? come here ! elizabeth : aiden , this is your daddy 's brother . it 's uncle nikolas . nikolas : come here . give me a hug . give me a big hug . look at you . here . here you go . oh , gosh , the last time i saw you , you were ... like a little peanut . so big . i 'm sorry . i hope you do n't mind me surprising you like this . elizabeth : no , it 's -- it 's fine , always . nikolas : i mean , i did -- i did warn you that i was n't gon na give up on you , did n't i ? elizabeth : nikolas ... aj and i worked things out . nikolas : you did . elizabeth : in fact , he 's on his way over here right now . he 's taking me to new york for the night . nikolas : oh . scott : you were gone with luke for a very long time . laura : yes , searching for our daughter . scott : okay , but look at it from my perspective . night after night , laura , i did n't know whether you were dead or alive . laura : scotty , there was no way to reach you . if i could have called , i would have . scott : you asked me to look after nikolas , and i did . i got very little sleep waiting for him to recover while you were off on some adventure with luke looking for your daughter . luke : laura and i were n't exactly on a pleasure cruise , spanky . tracy : exactly my point . it was more of an adventure . luke : it was a rescue mission to save our daughter from a madman . tracy : yeah . there is nothing romantic about that . luke : will you get off this sentiment ? ! it does n't wear well on you . stick to the facts . tracy : such as ? luke : such as she 's planning to marry that reptilian shyster baldwin . tracy : [ laughing ] oh ! there 's the dark mood . luke : no , the dark mood has to do with you heckling me about a subject that is , has been , and forever will be closed ! tracy : really ? and what exactly were you doing right before you found out that stavros had nabbed lulu ? you donned your superhero cape and swooped into the courtroom and prevented laura from marrying the wrong groom . luke : your point ? tracy : why do n't you stage a repeat performance ? laura : we were so worried about our daughter , we did n't have time to reminisce . scott : yes , but before lulu disappeared , he interrupted our wedding . laura : i recall . scott : okay . so what are you gon na do the next time we go to get married and he interrupts ? [ knock on door ] milo : i should get that . dante : what the hell is this ? maxie : hi , milo . nice abs . what you working on there , an eight - pack ? milo : just doing a little -- dante : dude , go put some freaking clothes on ! you 're in here with my wife , for crying out loud . maxie : huh . lulu : dante ... dante : lulu , this is maxie . maxie : hi , lulu . i 'm maxie , your best friend , although you do get mad at me sometimes . lulu : maxie . right . of course . dante : you remember her ? lulu : um , no . just what you told me ... that , um ... you 're carrying the child that dante says we want . maxie : yeah . see ? it 's your baby in there , rolling around like it 's running laps . dante : if -- if i may ? spinelli : you promised me that you would refrain from delving into this alleged mystery of maxie 's , and then you turn around and , in one phone call , you took advantage of my trust and of my technical prowess . ellie , you tricked me into helping you hack into maxie 's personal medical records , which is not only unethical but it 's illegal . ellie : i was convinced that maxie and dr. westbourne were hiding something . i thought there could be a serious problem with the baby . you knew how concerned i was . spinelli : and you knew how loathe i was for us to get involved in maxie 's personal affairs . and , ultimately , this breach of trust and breaking the law was for nothing , right ? the only positive outcome of this relentless pursuit is that your suspicion has been disproved . dr. westbourne and maxie are n't hiding anything . ellie : yes , they are . patrick : your ob , dr. v , gave me permission to go over your blood work , and i 'm ... i 'm afraid there 's an issue . britt : what is it ? there 's not anything wrong with our baby , is there ? patrick : your blood work shows that your suffering from hyperemesis gravidarum . britt : oh , my god . patrick : it happens . you know , it 's the same illness that put kate middleton in the hospital in her early pregnancy . because of your low potassium levels , there 's concern for cardiac arrhythmias in both you and the baby , and i do n't have to tell you that that ... could be fatal . britt : well , sabrina ... i really wish i was faking . if you 're looking for help relieving heartburn , laura : i do n't want to talk about luke . i just want to see my daughter . scott : i 'm sorry . i do n't mean to badger you . it 's just an occupational hazard . laura : [ laughs ] scott : you know , i just -- i just missed you , and i want us to get married before anything else happens . laura : nothing 's going to happen . in fact , i will take you out to dinner tonight to prove it to you . scott : you 're taking me to dinner tonight ?

elizabeth : for me , yes , but aj 's gon na be on the tv show `` the chew . `` he 's showcasing his grandmother 's relish . nikolas : really ? a little soon for overnights . elizabeth : we 're in separate rooms . nikolas : well , i 'm sure , if aj stays true to form , there will be a mix - up with the reservation , and the only room available will be the honeymoon suite -- elizabeth : that 'll be perfect . and then he can sleep in the heart - shaped jacuzzi . nikolas : so , where you staying ?

[ tense music ] ben : jordan ? ciara : ben ? what is it ? did you think of someone ? hope : ben seeming shocked , surprised , whatever he was when you found that evidence , it does n't mean he 's not guilty . eli , he admitted to being off his meds . you heard him say it . so it is entirely possible he is delusional . eli : so you think when he left those voice mails , he was genuinely worried ? hope : yes . yes , i do . because he genuinely did n't know what he had done . look at him , eli . look at him . he 's talking to himself right now . ben : it just does n't make any sense . she would n't do that to me . ciara : who ? ben , please . you have to tell me . if you want to help charlotte and me , you have to tell me . ben : my sister came to see me , and i found her in my room . jordan would n't do that to me . she -- she cares about me . jordan has taken care of me my entire life . ciara : and i know you believe she wants to protect you , but did n't eli say that she was the one who told abigail ... that maybe you were the one who kidnapped charlotte ? ben : she did . i was nowhere near that baby . she was . she went to go see abigail . she could have easily have taken that little girl . [ charlotte crying ] jordan : shh . that 's it . go back to sleep . shh . oh , so sweet . look , i hate what i had to do to my brother . but it was the only way to get him not to go after you and the baby . it was the only way to make sure that you 're both safe . ciara : so ben 's in jail ? jordan : where he belongs . and i mean , i was so afraid for so long , until i finally faced the awful truth . my -- my brother grew into a very dangerous man , just like clyde . and now , thankfully , they are both behind bars where both belong and they ca n't hurt anyone ever again . ciara : so now that we 're all safe from ben ... you can let us go , right ? jordan : no , i 'm sorry . i can't . ciara : why not ? jordan : [ sighs ] because i may be able to trust this little baby not to say anything , but i ca n't trust you . john : how could you keep this from me ? why did n't you tell me that we had a child together ? diana : if you recall , we did n't part on the best terms . i felt so guilty for accidentally shooting you , i left town . and by the time i found out i was pregnant , i had met somebody else . richard cooper . and he agreed to raise my son as his own . john : what , and after all these years , it never occurred to you to contact me ? diana : what for ? i never thought i 'd see you again . we were so young when we were together , john . i just assumed that , like me , you moved on . turns out , you did . will : i , um -- i want to say thank you . i - i really appreciate everything that you have done , you and -- you and john . you 've gone -- you 've -- you 've gone above and beyond .

[ soft music ] marlena : you must know that john and i have had our share of challenges . will : mm - hmm . i actually talked to him a little bit about that . marlena : mm . then maybe he told you how we survived . partly because we did not allow ourselves the thought of being defeated . partly because we -- we faced every challenge together . because we knew , we understood how special , how magical our relationship was and that it was worth fighting for . honey , the love that you and sonny share ... leo ca n't do anything about that . it 's already yours . so own it . keep fighting for it . it 's worth it . and i know , one day , you and sonny will be together again . sonny : are you planning on physically restraining me from leaving ? gabi : look , i 'm gon na do whatever i need to do . i 'm not gon na let that sleazebag come between my daughter 's fathers . sonny : i appreciate the sentiment . i know you 're tough , but , like , there 's nothing you can do . gabi : no , i do n't accept that . i have spent a long time wanting what you and will have , wanting to feel loved . so if you two are -- are lucky enough to love each other the way that you do , i will be damned if you ca n't spend valentine 's day together . and i 'm gon na make that happen . leo : hubby dearest ! oh , have you , uh , made up your mind about what we discussed ? sonny : [ sighs ] i 'll be right there .

[ tense music ] you 've tried moisturizer after moisturizer ... kate : what are you -- what are you doing to me ? jordan : shh . it 's all right , okay ? i know it 's not your nature , but do n't fight it , all right ? just , shh , go to sleep . go to sleep . [ shushing ] [ tense music ] rafe : kate and jordan are not friends . why would they be together ? gabi : yeah , i thought it was really weird too . but listen , i know you 're anxious to get to the station . i got ta pick up ari from sonny , so ... rafe : okay . hey , give her a kiss for me . gabi : i sure will .

'cause that is exactly what you will be doing if you do n't consummate this marriage right now . sonny : it 's not gon na happen . it 's never gon na happen . leo : oh , come on , sonny . it 's valentine 's day . if you ask me , you 're getting off easy . i 'm not asking for hearts or flowers . i just want one thing ... and you know what it is . so either you give it to me , dear husband , or i will have no choice but to send you and will to prison . sonny : [ sighs ] marlena : i know this is taking longer than you would have liked . but that does n't mean that diana wo n't reveal something . is n't that why you wanted john to track her down ? will : yes , it is . and believe me , i - i was -- i was optimistic at first . um ... but the more i think about it , i - i do n't know how john 's gon na be able to get through to her . why would she sell out her own son to someone she just met ? marlena : oh . well , they -- they did n't just meet . i mean , a long time ago , she and john were involved . diana : you want to talk about leo 's father ? leo : he was scum ! i did you and the world a favor by getting rid of him . diana : oh ! you still think you did the right thing ? leo : yes , definitely . even if that means that i have to live with the fact that i killed my father . diana : i 'm not sure what you think you know about him , but i assure you , it 's a dead end . john : then you wo n't mind if i ask a few questions . diana : what for ? oh , yes , of course . so you can use whatever information i give you as leverage to get sonny out of his marriage with my son . if that is why you have invited me here , you are going to be very disappointed , john . matthew -- leo -- has not always been the perfect son . in fact , he 's done many things that ... have shamed me . but i love him . i will not betray him . i am the only family he 's got . john : well , i 'm not so sure about that . diana : my husband , he died years ago . john : yeah , richard cooper did . i read an article about his death when i was tracking you down . but what i want to know is ... was he actually leo 's biological father ? diana : what a very strange question . who else could have gotten me pregnant if not my own husband ? john : oh , come on , diana . you know damn well it could 've been me . marlena : you see , when john began researching leo 's mother , he had no idea that diana cooper was actually diana colville -- i mean , at least not until they met face - to - face . will : wow . and , um , he does n't mind pressing her for more information ? marlena : no , not at all . their relationship ended over 30 years ago . and you know john . he 's so fond of you . i 'm sure he will get to the bottom of whatever 's going on with diana . diana : what would make you think you 're leo 's father ? john : i checked the date on leo 's birth certificate and did the math . diana : mm . i suppose i could deny it , tell you you 're absolutely wrong . but i know you , john . this is n't something you 'll let go of . all you need is a sample of my son 's dna and you 'll have your answer . i 'll save you the trouble . the answer is yes ... leo is your son . [ tense music ] leo : it would break my heart to see them take you away . and we both know it would break yours to see them lock up will . so do n't make me do it . [ dramatic music ] sonny : [ sighs ] gabi : hey , sonny . sonny : hey . gabi : okay , you look like a man who 's being led to the gallows . what 's going on ? [ charlotte crying ] jordan : hello , little sweetheart . hi ! have you been a good girl while auntie jordan was away ? how was she ? ciara : she was crying for a little while . i managed to calm her down . jordan : oh , good . that means she 's adjusting . and do you want to hear some good news , little cutie ? my brother , ben ... he was arrested for kidnapping both you and ciara . ciara : what ? how could that happen ? jordan : simple . i planted your phone and baby charlotte 's blanket in his motel room , and then i led the police right to it . hope : we found evidence that directly links ben to both kidnappings . eli : look , i know the guy 's got a history of pretending he 's fine when he 's not , but when we found that blanket in his room , he seemed genuinely shocked . ben : could 've been tripp . ciara : you think tripp framed you ? ben : the guy hates me , ciara . you broke up with him and you ended up with me . ciara : look , i 'm not saying he was n't jealous . but do n't you think that 's a little extreme ? that he 'd want to get back at you so badly that he would actually kidnap abigail 's baby ? that 's his cousin , ben . i 'm sorry , but i just do n't see him doing this . ben : there had to have been someone who planted this evidence . ciara : was anyone else in your room when you were n't there ? [ tense music ] ben : jordan ? ciara : ben ? what is it ? did you think of someone ? hope : ben seeming shocked , surprised , whatever he was when you found that evidence , it does n't mean he 's not guilty . eli , he admitted to being off his meds . you heard him say it . so it is entirely possible he is delusional . eli : so you think when he left those voice mails , he was genuinely worried ? hope : yes . yes , i do . because he genuinely did n't know what he had done . look at him , eli . look at him . he 's talking to himself right now . ben : it just does n't make any sense . she would n't do that to me . ciara : who ? ben , please . you have to tell me . if you want to help charlotte and me , you have to tell me . ben : my sister came to see me , and i found her in my room . jordan would n't do that to me . she -- she cares about me . jordan has taken care of me my entire life . ciara : and i know you believe she wants to protect you , but did n't eli say that she was the one who told abigail ... that maybe you were the one who kidnapped charlotte ? ben : she did . i was nowhere near that baby . she was . she went to go see abigail . she could have easily have taken that little girl . [ charlotte crying ] jordan : shh . that 's it . go back to sleep . shh . oh , so sweet . look , i hate what i had to do to my brother . but it was the only way to get him not to go after you and the baby . it was the only way to make sure that you 're both safe . ciara : so ben 's in jail ? jordan : where he belongs . and i mean , i was so afraid for so long , until i finally faced the awful truth . my -- my brother grew into a very dangerous man , just like clyde . and now , thankfully , they are both behind bars where both belong and they ca n't hurt anyone ever again . ciara : so now that we 're all safe from ben ... you can let us go , right ? jordan : no , i 'm sorry . i can't . ciara : why not ? jordan : [ sighs ] because i may be able to trust this little baby not to say anything , but i ca n't trust you . john : how could you keep this from me ? why did n't you tell me that we had a child together ? diana : if you recall , we did n't part on the best terms . i felt so guilty for accidentally shooting you , i left town . and by the time i found out i was pregnant , i had met somebody else . richard cooper . and he agreed to raise my son as his own . john : what , and after all these years , it never occurred to you to contact me ? diana : what for ? i never thought i 'd see you again . we were so young when we were together , john . i just assumed that , like me , you moved on . turns out , you did . will : i , um -- i want to say thank you . i - i really appreciate everything that you have done , you and -- you and john . you 've gone -- you 've -- you 've gone above and beyond . [ sighs ] marlena : but ? will : well , but as much as i would -- i would -- i would love to believe that sonny and i are -- are gon na be together , i 'm starting to lose hope . you know , i ... i - i -- i have -- i 've been carrying around this valentine 's day card all day , and i ca n't -- i have n't -- i have n't put a -- i have n't written a thing on it because i ... marlena : oh . will : and i - i - i think i figured out that it 's because if ... what 's the point of writing something special to someone you love if you 're -- if you 're never gon na be able to be with them ? i 'm sorry . you know , i 'm -- i 'm the -- i 'm not good company right now . marlena : no , no , no , you 're not going anywhere . and i am not going to let you give up on being with sonny . gabi : wow , i have missed a lot . sonny : just my whirlwind marriage to the man who sued me for sexual harassment . gabi : wow . and since i 'm assuming that you did n't marry leo willingly , he was blackmailing you ? do n't worry , i 'm not gon na ask what he has on you . sonny : thanks for that . gabi : after everything that i 've done , i hardly have room to judge . but there has to be something that you could do to get the upper hand . sonny : well , john is trying to squeeze leo 's mother for something that we can use to negate the leverage . but the longer it takes , i just feel like it 's a lost cause . gabi : but you ca n't give up , sonny , okay ? sonny : i do n't have a choice . he has made it very clear that he wants me to fulfill my husbandly duties . gabi : there 's a euphemism . sonny : and if i do n't , he 's gon na make good on his threats . and i 'm not letting that bastard send will to prison . [ sighs ] so i 'm just -- i 'm just gon na -- i 'm gon na go upstairs and get this over with . gabi : no , no , no , there is no way in hell that i 'm gon na let that happen . [ dramatic music ] so there you are with your depression diana : when i realized it was you who was tracking me down , i assumed that you finally figured out that you were my son 's father . imagine my surprise ... when it was n't paternity you were claiming . you were just searching for dirt . john : on my own son . diana : maybe now you realize why i was so reluctant to help you . john : when i showed up at your door the other day and we were finally face - to- face after all these years , why did n't you tell me then ? diana : because ... knowing that leo was making life very difficult for marlena 's grandson ... how could i tell you that your own son was doing that ? john : so leo ... does he know ? diana : he has no idea . he 's always believed that richard cooper was his father . and i want it to stay that way . please . i know this is a lot to take in , john . let 's have a drink . we 'll talk about it some more . john : i need to think about this ... alone . [ soft music ] marlena : you must know that john and i have had our share of challenges . will : mm - hmm . i actually talked to him a little bit about that . marlena : mm . then maybe he told you how we survived . partly because we did not allow ourselves the thought of being defeated . partly because we -- we faced every challenge together . because we knew , we understood how special , how magical our relationship was and that it was worth fighting for . honey , the love that you and sonny share ... leo ca n't do anything about that . it 's already yours . so own it . keep fighting for it . it 's worth it . and i know , one day , you and sonny will be together again . sonny : are you planning on physically restraining me from leaving ? gabi : look , i 'm gon na do whatever i need to do . i 'm not gon na let that sleazebag come between my daughter 's fathers . sonny : i appreciate the sentiment . i know you 're tough , but , like , there 's nothing you can do . gabi : no , i do n't accept that . i have spent a long time wanting what you and will have , wanting to feel loved . so if you two are -- are lucky enough to love each other the way that you do , i will be damned if you ca n't spend valentine 's day together . and i 'm gon na make that happen . leo : hubby dearest ! oh , have you , uh , made up your mind about what we discussed ? sonny : [ sighs ] i 'll be right there . [ tense music ] rafe : middle of the afternoon . huh , must be nice . kate ! hey , kate , it 's rafe . listen , gabi said she saw you with jordan ridgeway . i just want to ask you a couple questions . kate . hey , open up . it 's important . hope : all the evidence we have points to ben 's guilt . how do i get him to tell me what he 's done to ciara ? ben : jordan was at abigail 's house when charlotte was taken , not me . and she was the one who told the cops that i saw you , when i made it crystal clear to her that i was just imagining you , just like i am right now . ciara : it 's almost as if jordan twisted everything around just to make it seem like you were guilty . ben : and she convinced hope and eli to go to my room to find that evidence . ciara : you see ? ben : why would she do this ? why would she do this to me ? ciara : i think you know why . ben : because she has charlotte ... and you . ciara : jordan , you do n't have to worry about me , okay ? i wo n't say anything to anyone , i swear . jordan : no , i 'm sorry , okay ? i - i gave you every chance to believe that ben was dangerous , but you would never believe me . ciara : you got ben locked up , right ? that 's what matters , is n't it ? jordan : no . you will go running back to salem . ben will be released . everybody 's lives will be put back in danger because of your stupid crush , okay ? no . it may be too late to save you , all right , but ... at least it 's not too late to help other people . ciara : i - i do n't know how i can do that . jordan : well , that 's simple . you need to die . ben : how could jordan do this ? how could she kidnap you and charlotte ... and then set me up to take the fall ? ciara : ben , i 'm so sorry . ben : i ca n't believe this . eli : ca n't believe what ? ben : nothing . eli : time to go . ben : go where ? eli : booking you on two counts of first - degree kidnapping . ciara : jordan , no . no , you ca n't do this , please . jordan : i wish i did n't have to , okay ? what other choice do i have ? you go back to salem , you tell the police what i did , they 're gon na have to release ben , and then everyone is in danger of being hurt all over again . ciara : no , i told you , i wo n't say anything to anyone , i swear . what 's that ? jordan : [ chuckles ] it 's almost sweet , is n't it ? let me guess . this is what he got you for valentine 's day ? yeah , which shows his obsession with you , which shows that he will never be able to stay away from you . ciara : no , yes , he will , okay ? i will call my mom and -- and i will ask her to file a restraining order -- jordan : we both know you 're never gon na do that , okay ? if i let you go , you 're gon na go and undo all the work that i 've worked so hard for . and then you 're gon na end up putting yourself in danger all over again by running back to ben . ciara : no , i won't . jordan : listen to me . you 've consigned yourself to die by the hands of my brother either way . but at least this way , your death is gon na mean something , because i 'm gon na use it to make sure that ben says locked up for the rest of his life . rafe : hey , kate , it 's rafe . i 'm outside your door , but you 're not answering . listen , call me as soon as you get this . i need to ask you a couple questions about jordan ridgeway . okay , thanks .

[ scene_break ] claudia : do n't you dare tell me that you 've given up . johnny : i 'm just saying , claudia , if i 'm convicted , you know damn well dad 's going to flip out . he 's going to go after lulu because he blames her . he 's going to go after you because he flat out hates you . so i 'm saying , law of the jungle -- protect yourself . if i 'm convicted , you need to find a way to take him out first . anthony : look at you two . my precious children , blood of my blood . you know that daddy - waddy always knows when the kiddie - biddies are upset . so tell popsy - wopsy what 's got you so worried ? [ scene_break ] spinelli : the jackal is gratified that maximista cared enough about his person to contact stone cold , and arrange for his master 's return . though , it is clear from your attire that you were pulled from a priority engagement . a date ? jason : just tell me how you were hit . spinelli : maximista and i were , um -- took up that very familiar position behind the russian rogue 's warehouse . jason : why ? spinelli : it was a stakeout . jason : okay , why were you staking out the warehouse ? spinelli : to expose the motives of your paramour . jason : she 's not -- okay , you 're on a stakeout . tell me what happened . spinelli : well , a shipment arrived at the warehouse as we observed , and the jackal , you know , exited the vehicle to obtain a better perspective . brave maximista followed , and suddenly a threatening car bore down upon us . maximista was able to dodge -- though , interestingly she claims that the jackal pushed her clear of danger . though , truth be told , i have no recollection of such a heroic gesture . all that is verifiable is that my wounded person lay on the street . jason : did you see who was driving ? spinelli : no , i did not . but under the circumstance , i fear that your new love sasha could be involved . [ scene_break ] laura : please , i want to help you . tell me what happened . lulu : i was at work . i have a -- i had a job with a fashion magazine called `` crimson . `` we work at the metro court hotel . you can see johnny 's penthouse from our office . anyway , logan showed up and made this big pitch about how he wanted to get back together with me . and i was mad . and i was embarrassed . i just wanted him to go away , so i said i was glad that he cheated on me , otherwise i would have never met johnny . i think that 's what made him snap . he could n't handle that one of the most painful times for him was actually one of the best things that could have happened to me . laura : i still do n't hear anything that makes it your fault . [ scene_break ] robin : maxie . hey , i need a reality check . maxie : if you want a reality check from me , you must really be desperate . robin : it 's about patrick 's marriage proposal . maxie : oh . say yes . robin : hey , i 'm serious . maxie : robin , look . okay , you do n't want my opinion on anything important . i 'm stressed . i 'm unfocused . i 'm totally self - involved . you would really regret it . robin : really ? then why are you here ? maxie : to see spinelli . jason said he would come back from whatever illegal thing he was doing so i did n't have to worry about spinelli recovering all by myself . robin : oh . [ scene_break ] matt : i guarantee you spinelli 's reaction was because of bad meds . patrick : are you mad that you botched a surgery , and i had to fix it ? matt : no , i 'm not mad . it was sugar pills . patrick : okay , we 're not done here . matt : oh , i am . i 'm off - duty . [ scene_break ] robin : wait , were you going ? maxie : i got something to take care of . [ scene_break ] jason : what makes you think karpov 's attorney is involved in this ? spinelli : the slavic seductress was here , right were stone cold stands . at least , to all appearances . the jackal was somewhat feverish at the time , but he is quite certain that fair leyla saved his life . jason : is that true ? leyla : i 'm just here to update spinelli 's chart . that 's all . jason : is he going to be okay ? leyla : spinelli is going to be amazing . he 's going to have a remarkable recovery . he 's very healthy . spinelli : lovely leyla is too kind . jason : did he have a visitor ? a woman , about this tall , blonde ? leyla : yes , i asked her to leave . he 's not up to visitors . she came back a second time , but spinelli got agitated . jason : did she say why she was visiting ? leyla : no , that 's why i asked her to leave . jason : okay , thanks . i 'll make sure she does n't come back . leyla : okay . jason : hang in there , okay ? spinelli : just as i feared . now stone cold will confront the slavic seductress , and she will use her wiles to further ensnare him . [ scene_break ] claudia : i 'm worried because my brother is on trial for murder . anthony : do n't let your sister make you negative . we can not let ourselves consider the possibility of a conviction because the fallout would be unthinkable . johnny : anything is possible . anthony : john , if you let yourself imagine a guilty verdict , a life in prison , you 'll start thinking about how devastated i will be , and who i will blame . the logical progression from there is how do you stop me from going to that very dark and vengeful place ? and you know that there is only one way i can be stopped , and that way , of course , is unthinkable . do you know that shakespeare wrote entire plays about patricide ? and it never has a happy ending . so the way to deal with it , do n't let yourself imagine a guilty verdict . johnny : i would not turn on my own father , any more than i will handle threats against claudia and lulu . anthony : so we agree . you 'll sit there and shut up , and let me get you out of this mess by whatever means necessary . ric : anthony , you can leave now . [ scene_break ] lulu : i went over to johnny 's penthouse . he was n't home . so while i was waiting , i walked out onto the terrace because i like the view , and i needed some air . and i looked into our office window to see if i could see maxie , and i did . and it was weird because i saw logan , too . i mean , i did n't really know what was going on at first . it seemed like they were fighting , but it seemed ridiculous , right ? you know . laura : fighting physically ? lulu : yeah . so i froze . i do n't even know how long i was standing there for . it seemed like forever . and that 's so stupid , right ? i mean , i should have called for help that second . i mean , maybe they would have been able to stop logan before he did any more damage . laura : it 's not stupid . come . sit with me please . listen , when you were just a little baby , i was up in your room , and i was rocking you in the rocking chair and singing you a lullaby . and you were just falling asleep and foster , remember ? he was curled up at my feet . it was a perfect moment . and then i heard gunfire . inside the house . yeah , the house was being attacked . and your father was downstairs with lucky , i do n't know , somewhere . and i was upstairs with you alone and i froze . i mean , when things like this happen , something else inside us just kicks in and takes over . lulu : that 's exactly what happened . i mean , i knew that i should have gotten help , but my heart was racing so fast , and my knees , they were like jelly . and then , logan looked up at me , and i think that shocked me back into reality . so i ran in to call for help , but my phone started ringing . it was logan calling me . i did n't know what to do . i answered it . and he said he was coming over to explain everything . [ scene_break ] kate : so where are you going to take me ? sonny : well , i thought i would show you around the compound , right ? do a little gambling , and by the time we got back , they 're going to have dinner set up for us there , and we would do whatever we wanted to do after that . kate : this is kind of like being on a fabulous cruise . sonny : mm - hmm . kate : is n't it , right ? except that the island is the ship , and there 's probably a seafood buffet , and a gorgeous ice sculpture . and a stage show , where the singer toured with `` the lion king . `` sonny : oh , so are you saying that my paradise island is cheesy ? kate : no , i 'm not saying it 's cheesy . i 'm just saying that i have actually gambled all over the world . i was wondering what our other options might be . sonny : i have to pry you away from the haunted star at the roulette table , so you do n't want to go gambling now ? kate : yeah , where they do n't rig the tables at the haunted star . sonny : it 's luke spencer . of course they do . he wants to make an extra buck for the house . kate : okay , i think that i am pretty easygoing . i do . sonny : yeah . kate : but my idea of fun is not -- whoopee , magically winning some jackpot . sonny : well , you do n't have to worry about that . i 'm going to be bankrolling you . kate : hi . i 'm not sure we 've met . i am kate howard . nobody 's bimbo . sonny : okay , so you wo nt allow your fiancé to give you a couple of hundred bucks so you can gamble without stress , without guilt ? kate : all right , okay . i 'm going to make a confession to you . i actually used to be a little jealous of the models . they 'd come into monte carlo . they 'd be on some billionaire 's arm . he would put the chips down . she 'd blow on them for good luck . and when they won , she 'd put the winnings into her bag , jewel- encrusted clutch , she probably saw in my magazine . sonny : and that 's bad because ? kate : it 's bad because , say what you will about me , but i have worked my entire life . i 've had mentors , yes . but i 'm a self - made woman , mr. corinthos . and i think you , of all people , should appreciate that . sonny : okay , kate howard . so you 'd rather see a cheesy lounge singer than gamble with my money ? kate : the only way i will gamble is if it is with my money , and you absolutely , positively , solemnly swear to not rig it . sonny : you know , i forget sometimes how stubborn you can be . kate : well , it 's my only flaw . sonny : let 's go . kate : all right . [ scene_break ] jax : hey . you okay ? carly : i seriously thought about not telling you , but since we 're telling each other everything , and there are no secrets . jax : i 'm not going like this -- carly : no . jax : okay . carly : karpov hit on me again , and i told him that i 'm in love with my husband and to back off , but i do n't know if he 's going to listen . jax : do n't worry . i 'm handling karpov . [ scene_break ] [ knock on door ] spinelli : oh . elizabeth : hi . spinelli : hi . you bring a gift ? elizabeth : well , truth be told , one of my patients was sent home , and asked me to give it to someone special . spinelli : the jackal came to mind because he makes everyone prickly , like a cactus . elizabeth : no , because it 's interesting and unique . just like you . spinelli : well , the jackal is honored . actually , he has something to tell you that must be treated with the utmost discretion , so if the maternal one would n't mind closing the door . spinelli : would it be presumptuous to acknowledge that you still hold tender feelings for the father of your progeny ? elizabeth : spinelli , you know i do n't like discussing my feelings for jason . spinelli : yes , and the jackal would n't ask if it was n't dire . look , he believes that stone cold is in great peril , and only you can save him . [ scene_break ] lulu : i could n't think straight . nothing made sense . laura : no , of course not . because someone you knew became a total stranger . a man that you were involved with turned violent . lulu : logan -- he was knocking on the door , and he sounded calm and reasonable . so i grabbed this heavy vase object , and i had it to defend myself so that i could get by him , and i could get out . laura : so you what ? you opened the door ? lulu : logan got frustrated , i guess . because before i could even open the door , he started breaking in with an axe . laura : oh , my god . lulu : so i ran into the kitchen . i do n't even know what i was trying to get . i saw the knife and i grabbed it . i just -- i wanted to get out . i did n't mean to kill him . laura : no , of course you did n't . lulu : i hid behind the couch . i thought he was going to go into one of the other rooms to find me , but he did n't . and he saw me , and he grabbed me , and i was trapped .

[ scene_break ] patrick : great news , spinelli . your fever broke . how are you feeling ? spinelli : very grateful for the wise doctor 's prognosis , but deeply worried about a -- well , uh , a personal issue that i 'm unable to discuss . patrick : well , if it has to do with your health , you can tell me . spinelli : well , my health is very obviously in competent hands . it 's just the fear for my dearest friend and mentor , but -- no , i 'm unable to say anything further without violating confidence . patrick : okay , then . well , do you feel well enough to , um , use a computer ? spinelli : the -- yeah , the ace 's cyber - powers remain undiminished . patrick : great . well , i have a project for you , jackal , to get your mind off whatever 's stressing you out , and if that 's not incentive enough , you 'll be helping me out at the same time .

[ scene_break ] spinelli : the jackal is gratified that maximista cared enough about his person to contact stone cold , and arrange for his master 's return . though , it is clear from your attire that you were pulled from a priority engagement . a date ? jason : just tell me how you were hit . spinelli : maximista and i were , um -- took up that very familiar position behind the russian rogue 's warehouse . jason : why ? spinelli : it was a stakeout . jason : okay , why were you staking out the warehouse ? spinelli : to expose the motives of your paramour . jason : she 's not -- okay , you 're on a stakeout . tell me what happened . spinelli : well , a shipment arrived at the warehouse as we observed , and the jackal , you know , exited the vehicle to obtain a better perspective . brave maximista followed , and suddenly a threatening car bore down upon us . maximista was able to dodge -- though , interestingly she claims that the jackal pushed her clear of danger . though , truth be told , i have no recollection of such a heroic gesture . all that is verifiable is that my wounded person lay on the street . jason : did you see who was driving ? spinelli : no , i did not . but under the circumstance , i fear that your new love sasha could be involved . [ scene_break ] laura : please , i want to help you . tell me what happened . lulu : i was at work . i have a -- i had a job with a fashion magazine called `` crimson . `` we work at the metro court hotel . you can see johnny 's penthouse from our office . anyway , logan showed up and made this big pitch about how he wanted to get back together with me . and i was mad . and i was embarrassed . i just wanted him to go away , so i said i was glad that he cheated on me , otherwise i would have never met johnny . i think that 's what made him snap . he could n't handle that one of the most painful times for him was actually one of the best things that could have happened to me . laura : i still do n't hear anything that makes it your fault .

[ scene_break ] matt : i guarantee you spinelli 's reaction was because of bad meds . patrick : are you mad that you botched a surgery , and i had to fix it ? matt : no , i 'm not mad . it was sugar pills . patrick : okay , we 're not done here . matt : oh , i am . i 'm off - duty .

[ scene_break ] claudia : i 'm worried because my brother is on trial for murder . anthony : do n't let your sister make you negative . we can not let ourselves consider the possibility of a conviction because the fallout would be unthinkable . johnny : anything is possible . anthony : john , if you let yourself imagine a guilty verdict , a life in prison , you 'll start thinking about how devastated i will be , and who i will blame . the logical progression from there is how do you stop me from going to that very dark and vengeful place ? and you know that there is only one way i can be stopped , and that way , of course , is unthinkable . do you know that shakespeare wrote entire plays about patricide ? and it never has a happy ending . so the way to deal with it , do n't let yourself imagine a guilty verdict . johnny : i would not turn on my own father , any more than i will handle threats against claudia and lulu . anthony : so we agree . you 'll sit there and shut up , and let me get you out of this mess by whatever means necessary . ric : anthony , you can leave now . [ scene_break ] lulu : i went over to johnny 's penthouse . he was n't home . so while i was waiting , i walked out onto the terrace because i like the view , and i needed some air . and i looked into our office window to see if i could see maxie , and i did . and it was weird because i saw logan , too . i mean , i did n't really know what was going on at first . it seemed like they were fighting , but it seemed ridiculous , right ? you know . laura : fighting physically ? lulu : yeah . so i froze . i do n't even know how long i was standing there for . it seemed like forever . and that 's so stupid , right ? i mean , i should have called for help that second . i mean , maybe they would have been able to stop logan before he did any more damage . laura : it 's not stupid . come . sit with me please . listen , when you were just a little baby , i was up in your room , and i was rocking you in the rocking chair and singing you a lullaby . and you were just falling asleep and foster , remember ? he was curled up at my feet . it was a perfect moment . and then i heard gunfire . inside the house . yeah , the house was being attacked . and your father was downstairs with lucky , i do n't know , somewhere . and i was upstairs with you alone and i froze . i mean , when things like this happen , something else inside us just kicks in and takes over . lulu : that 's exactly what happened . i mean , i knew that i should have gotten help , but my heart was racing so fast , and my knees , they were like jelly . and then , logan looked up at me , and i think that shocked me back into reality . so i ran in to call for help , but my phone started ringing . it was logan calling me . i did n't know what to do . i answered it . and he said he was coming over to explain everything . [ scene_break ] kate : so where are you going to take me ? sonny : well , i thought i would show you around the compound , right ? do a little gambling , and by the time we got back , they 're going to have dinner set up for us there , and we would do whatever we wanted to do after that . kate : this is kind of like being on a fabulous cruise . sonny : mm - hmm . kate : is n't it , right ? except that the island is the ship , and there 's probably a seafood buffet , and a gorgeous ice sculpture . and a stage show , where the singer toured with `` the lion king . `` sonny : oh , so are you saying that my paradise island is cheesy ? kate : no , i 'm not saying it 's cheesy . i 'm just saying that i have actually gambled all over the world . i was wondering what our other options might be . sonny : i have to pry you away from the haunted star at the roulette table , so you do n't want to go gambling now ? kate : yeah , where they do n't rig the tables at the haunted star . sonny : it 's luke spencer . of course they do . he wants to make an extra buck for the house . kate : okay , i think that i am pretty easygoing . i do . sonny : yeah . kate : but my idea of fun is not -- whoopee , magically winning some jackpot . sonny : well , you do n't have to worry about that . i 'm going to be bankrolling you . kate : hi . i 'm not sure we 've met . i am kate howard . nobody 's bimbo . sonny : okay , so you wo nt allow your fiancé to give you a couple of hundred bucks so you can gamble without stress , without guilt ? kate : all right , okay . i 'm going to make a confession to you . i actually used to be a little jealous of the models . they 'd come into monte carlo . they 'd be on some billionaire 's arm . he would put the chips down . she 'd blow on them for good luck . and when they won , she 'd put the winnings into her bag , jewel- encrusted clutch , she probably saw in my magazine . sonny : and that 's bad because ? kate : it 's bad because , say what you will about me , but i have worked my entire life . i 've had mentors , yes . but i 'm a self - made woman , mr. corinthos . and i think you , of all people , should appreciate that . sonny : okay , kate howard . so you 'd rather see a cheesy lounge singer than gamble with my money ? kate : the only way i will gamble is if it is with my money , and you absolutely , positively , solemnly swear to not rig it . sonny : you know , i forget sometimes how stubborn you can be . kate : well , it 's my only flaw . sonny : let 's go . kate : all right . [ scene_break ] jax : hey . you okay ? carly : i seriously thought about not telling you , but since we 're telling each other everything , and there are no secrets . jax : i 'm not going like this -- carly : no . jax : okay . carly : karpov hit on me again , and i told him that i 'm in love with my husband and to back off , but i do n't know if he 's going to listen . jax : do n't worry . i 'm handling karpov . [ scene_break ] [ knock on door ] spinelli : oh . elizabeth : hi . spinelli : hi . you bring a gift ? elizabeth : well , truth be told , one of my patients was sent home , and asked me to give it to someone special . spinelli : the jackal came to mind because he makes everyone prickly , like a cactus . elizabeth : no , because it 's interesting and unique . just like you . spinelli : well , the jackal is honored . actually , he has something to tell you that must be treated with the utmost discretion , so if the maternal one would n't mind closing the door . spinelli : would it be presumptuous to acknowledge that you still hold tender feelings for the father of your progeny ? elizabeth : spinelli , you know i do n't like discussing my feelings for jason . spinelli : yes , and the jackal would n't ask if it was n't dire . look , he believes that stone cold is in great peril , and only you can save him . [ scene_break ] lulu : i could n't think straight . nothing made sense . laura : no , of course not . because someone you knew became a total stranger . a man that you were involved with turned violent . lulu : logan -- he was knocking on the door , and he sounded calm and reasonable . so i grabbed this heavy vase object , and i had it to defend myself so that i could get by him , and i could get out . laura : so you what ? you opened the door ? lulu : logan got frustrated , i guess . because before i could even open the door , he started breaking in with an axe . laura : oh , my god . lulu : so i ran into the kitchen . i do n't even know what i was trying to get . i saw the knife and i grabbed it . i just -- i wanted to get out . i did n't mean to kill him . laura : no , of course you did n't . lulu : i hid behind the couch . i thought he was going to go into one of the other rooms to find me , but he did n't . and he saw me , and he grabbed me , and i was trapped . [ scene_break ] anna : hi , dr. scorpio . robin : mom ? anna : hi . robin : hi . are you sick ? anna : no , i 'm never sick . patrick asked me to come . i thought maybe you 'd changed your mind about everything . robin : what ? no . patrick : hey , how are you ? robin : you asked my mother to come . obviously , you did n't hear anything that i said . patrick : well , how could i miss it ? you announced it over the p.a . system . anna : can i have a quick word with robin ? patrick : of course . robin : just , please , no lectures about marrying patrick . anna : i 'm not going to give you a lecture , and i would n't dream of telling you what to do about this proposal . but i do want to remind you that that lovely babe magnet back there has thankfully changed his wicked ways for you . and , underneath all his bravado , he 's really laid his heart on the line quite publicly . and every time you shut him down , that is such a blow to his ego and his pride . and i know we do n't care about that because we 're evolved women , but that 's hard to bounce back from , you know ? robin : i do n't think you mean it this way , but it sounds like you 're siding with him . anna : no , i 'm not . just maybe you could remember that he 's acting out of love , and just go a little easier on him if you could . [ scene_break ] patrick : great news , spinelli . your fever broke . how are you feeling ? spinelli : very grateful for the wise doctor 's prognosis , but deeply worried about a -- well , uh , a personal issue that i 'm unable to discuss . patrick : well , if it has to do with your health , you can tell me . spinelli : well , my health is very obviously in competent hands . it 's just the fear for my dearest friend and mentor , but -- no , i 'm unable to say anything further without violating confidence . patrick : okay , then . well , do you feel well enough to , um , use a computer ? spinelli : the -- yeah , the ace 's cyber - powers remain undiminished . patrick : great . well , i have a project for you , jackal , to get your mind off whatever 's stressing you out , and if that 's not incentive enough , you 'll be helping me out at the same time . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : hi . thank you for coming . jason : you said it was an emergency . is it jake ? hey , is jake okay ? elizabeth : yeah , he 's fine . the person you should be worried about is spinelli . he 's frantic that you 're under the spell of someone he 's calling the `` slavic seductress . `` anyway , he told me that you 're having this torrid , self- destructive affair to -- to numb the pain of losing me and jake . jason : okay , spinelli does n't know what he 's talking about it . he makes this stuff up like it 's some kind of video game . elizabeth : good . jason : sasha is karpov 's attorney . i 'm not involved with her or anyone . elizabeth : the rational part of me knew that -- the irrational part , the part that wo n't stop me from wanting to be with you , was insanely jealous . [ scene_break ] ric : no more death threats , no more tampering with evidence and no more threatening the d.a . and her family . anthony : you ca n't stop me from helping my son . ric : your help is going to land your son johnny in prison for life . it 's about time that you accept that you are powerless in this situation . your greatest contribution would be to shut up and stay out of this . and , for the record , if any harm should come to your daughter claudia or to lulu spencer , i will personally see to it that you are thrown back in prison where you will rot for the rest of your life . anthony : no one speaks to me this way . ric : yes , i know . at least i did n't threaten to push you in front of a bus , right ? or down a flight of stairs , did i ? claudia : no , i did n't hear any threats . johnny : i did n't hear anything . anthony : all right , i 'll tolerate you just as long as you get my son cleared of the charges . ric : understand this , anthony -- this is way bigger than your ego . now , get out . anthony : you run a good bluff , ricky . you better pray i do n't call it . get me the hell away from here before i do something i regret .

after a promo for tonight 's biggest loser finale , thanks to tabitha and endora , tabby got to thinking about why evil is n't in trouble since charity and miguel did the deed . with endora 's help , tabby looked at the water bowl scenes more closely and realized they were fakes , not the real things . she got so excited she wanted to tell kay the truth right away , but when she tried , endora took her voice away , and made her writing so much nonsense . endora wants kay to marry fox , not miguel , no matter what mummy dearest wants . miguel and noah talked it out while being fitted for their tuxedos , and miguel decided to find charity and have her tell kay she does n't want him any more than he wants her . fox overheard and determined to stop him in any way he has to . kay finally decided to get into the spirit and be happy about her upcoming wedding .
<s>[INST] tabitha : oh , tonight 's the night , endora , on nbc 's the biggest loser . tonight caroline rhea will announce who 's lost the most weight and won $ 250,000 . they 've all done so well , but only one will win . will it be kai , or eric , or heather , or wylie . oh , i ca n't wait to see the outcome . i think you 're rather missing the point , darling . i know , it 's all so worrisome . have you found out anything ? no . i do n't understand it . every single spell book we have confirms that if charity and miguel make whoopee the dark side will come to an end ! and i 've rerun what kay saw in the bowl over and over . she 's right ! miguel and charity did the deed . repeatedly . oh . so why has n't goodness taken over ? you are right ! it makes no sense ! lovely evil should have been blasted to smithereens by now ! but it has n't . something is very wrong . but what ? [ scene_break ] fox : father , it is working out perfectly ! kay still thinks she saw charity and miguel making love and she has absolutely no idea that they are actors i hired to impersonate them . kay will marry me and we will live happily ever after . which why i am buying a new tuxedo right now . and get this , noah and miguel are on their way right now to rent some tuxedos to match . oh , yes , and miguel is still my best man . is n't that ridiculous ? well it is like grandfather used to say , keep your friends close , and your enemies closer ! [ scene_break ] noah : miguel , why are we even here ? why was n't this wedding cancelled ? i thought you and kay were going to make up ? miguel : no . i still do n't know what we have to make up about . okay . i think she went bonkers because one moment she says she is calling off the wedding and now she wo n't even talk to me . noah : something happened . miguel : i know something happened , noah , but what ? okay i ca n't figure it out . the only thing i know is that i have lost kay . [ scene_break ] kay : well the bridesmaids dresses and your maid of honor dress were delivered . simone : you wan na take a look at them ? kay : no . i ca n't bring myself to do it . simone : kay , honey -- . kay : i know ! i know ! brides are supposed to be happy . i 'm doing my best to try and get excited about marrying fox , but i ca n't . i am in so much pain about what miguel did ! simone : please . cheating bastard . get over him , kay ! he cheated on you with charity and what 's worse , the jerk is act like it never happened . he does not deserve you ! kay : i know . and it 's not like i do n't love fox , i do . i mean is the best . simone : and he is dying . i know . i know . and i just want to make sure that his last few months are perfect . but , miguel is the man i who 's in my heart . he is who i want to marry . [ scene_break ] fancy : graduation . oh i ca n't wait to be real police officer . the best christmas present that i ever have had . i earned it myself . luis : i am so proud of you . and you know once you graduate there is no rules standing in our way of being together . fancy : yes . i ca n't wait , sir . luis : i am counting the days . fancy : i am counting the minutes . luis : seconds .

[ scene_break ] ethan : look , j.t . , i have made some calls and i am sure i can work out some kind of deal between you and the irs but you need to get cracking . i am holding up my end of bargain so now it is your turn . i want to know everything there is to know about jared casey , ok ? starting with the information as to what his weight was when he was born , do you understand ? i do n't care about that . i want it fast and discrete . i do n't want anybody to know i am investigating jared . do you understand ? yes i want every single detail . i think the guy is hiding something and i know there 's something wrong with jared casey . chad : do n't you ever stop ? jared 's already proved he 's on the up and up . what are you doing ? who are you talking to about jared ? [ scene_break ] fancy : we ca n't do this . luis : i know . fancy : especially not here . luis : i know that they 've seen us . fancy : sorry it is my fault . luis : no , it is mine . fancy : it is mine . i ca n't keep my hands off of you . luis : are you kidding me ? these hands have a mind of their own . fancy : i am glad we wo n't have to wait much longer . i ca n't wait to make love to you . luis : oh me , either . guess what ? i got a surprise for you because the minute you graduate i am whisking you away . i already took time off for both us . fancy : oh you are a genius ! luis : i know . long walks on the beach . dinner by candle light . making love fire side all night long . fancy : i ca n't wait ! it sounds like heaven . i wish we could do something about it now . luis : yes . yes . look where you are standing ? fancy : what ? it 's mistletoe ! no it is not ! it is plastic . luis : use your imagination for just one second here . fancy : well , it -- it would a good experiment to see if kisses under plastic tasted like plastic . luis : yes . we could send the finding to analogy to national geographic . fancy : what do we do about that silly rule that says we ca n't fraternize ? luis : oh i think a christmas tradition overrides the harmony police rulebook . [ scene_break ] whitney : oh i am sorry i did n't mean to interrupt . theresa : that 's fine . come on in , please . we just back from the ice skating pond . whitney : oh wow . you guys were there pretty late ? theresa : yes . are you okay ? whitney : um , yes , yes , sure . jared : hey , little ethan , i am getting kind of hungry what do you say we head over to the cafe and get some hot chocolate and scones . theresa : thank you . jared : no problem . jared : come on , little man . whitney : man how sweet are they ? jared and little ethan have been getting along pretty well , huh ? theresa : yes . jared is really good with him . and little ethan , he really likes him , whitney . i mean , i ca n't get over how well this is working out . i do n't see how anything could wrong for us now . [ scene_break ] chad : ethan , who are you talking to about jared ? ethan : gwen , hi . yes . listen i will see you at home . right , and remember what i told you about tax man , okay ? all right . love you , too . bye . chad : what was that about ? ethan : i was talking to gwen . she was telling me how she saw jared and theresa ice skating . chad : ethan give it up . okay jared is a nice guy . i know you hate seeing theresa with another man but he cares for her and theresa cares for him . ethan : i know . i know . more power to them . chad : you know for a high powered lawyer you are a lousy liar . you know i know it is killing you but it is too bad . you ca n't expect theresa to go on living like a nun . she 's a young , beautiful woman and she deserves to find love . you told her that yourself . ethan : i know . i know . chad : you got gwen . okay . if theresa ca n't have love with you . by god let her have love with someone else . ethan : chad , i do want her to be happy . chad : i hope you mean that . you want anything ? ethan : no , thanks i am just finishing this . chad : i will be back in a second . ethan : i do want her to be happy , chad . just not with jared . he is not the mr. nice guy that everybody thinks he is . and i am going to prove it . [ scene_break ] kay : i still love miguel . i mean after what he has done , how stupid is that ? if i had any brains at all i would never want to see that man again . simone : damn straight . listen , kay do n't let miguel ruin what you found with fox . i mean , marry fox and have most beautiful wedding this town has ever seen . kay : miguel is the best man ! simone : well , good . because when you are walking up that aisle with the ring on your finger he will have a close up view of what he missed out on ! listen to me . marry fox . and do n't let miguel hurt you ever again . [ scene_break ] fox : i 'll go tell the owner that the tuxedos are great . noah : that guy has got an amazing attitude for someone who is about to die . he is so happy . miguel : because he knows that a month with kay is better ten years with any other girl . noah : just try living with her . miguel : i have . noah this is insane . i am about to be best man to a guy who is fiancée of the woman i want to marry . and i am racking my brain thinking of different ways to put a stop this wedding . and he is slapping me on the back thanking me for being part of it . i feel horrible . and i want to come clean and tell him that kay and i want to be with each other . you know , maybe i should . as a matter of fact i think i should right here right now . [ scene_break ] tabitha : the prophecy clearly states that once the champion of good , the chosen one , i.e . charity , loses her virginity to the man she loves , which is miguel . the war between good and evil is over ! goodness will destroy us and the dark side will vanish ! but we 're still here ? what ? was n't charity in the shed ? of course it was . i saw her with my very own eyes and kay saw her . simone saw her . miguel did more than see her ! oh ! that 's not possible ! or is it ? all right . i will rerun the footage in the bowl . one more time ! just to make you happy . there , you see ! there 's charity . i would know her anywhere . that vacant expression on her face . x ray vision ? alright . x ray vision . no . roll it back again , roll it back again . endora , endora , will you give me some more juice , please ? more juice , please ? thank you . there they are . taking off their clothes again ! i must say , that miguel is a very athletic type . hey . hey . wait a minute . roll it back again . and zoom in . and give me some more light , please . endora , you are the einstein of the dark side ! you were absolutely right ! we do n't need all of this anymore . you were right , endora ! it was not charity and miguel making love ! they were two imposters wearing latex masks to look like charity and miguel . that 's why they are still here ! latex masks . an old crane family trick . your half - brother fox must have come up with that . do you know what this means , endora ? miguel did n't betray kay . oh i ca n't wait to tell her . we have to tell her immediately ! [ scene_break ] jared : you skunked me again . this is the second time you 've destroyed me . i do n't think i can do this anymore . little ethan : let 's do it again ! jared : no can do . here comes your nanny . little ethan : you 're fun . jared : i think you are fun , too . little ethan : do you really like my mom ? jared : i 'll let you in on a little secret . i love your mommy . little ethan : does at that mean you will be my dad ? jared : um , would you like me to be your dad ? little ethan : yes . jared : well , then i hope so . i really hope so . whitney : well , i guess the fortune teller was right . things are going really well for you and jared and now you are happy . i am happy for you , you know . theresa : i want you to be happy . did you see chad ? whitney : no . theresa : whitney . whitney : what am i supposed to do ? this is not easy for me . theresa : i know it is not . i know that . but why have -- you love and chad and chad you and you need to stop these suspicions so you guys can move on together . whitney : i know . i know . theresa : and you did just say marry him by christmas or break it off . people do n't give ultimatums unless they 're very serious . whitney : that 's all i keep thinking about . theresa : think about taking action . that way you wo n't loss chad . whitney : what about fact that i do n't trust him ? hmm ? yes , maybe this whole ultimatum thing is just good , you know ? because i certainly ca n't going on living this way . theresa : so , you 're going to break off your engagement to chad ? [ scene_break ] ethan : so , what is up with you ? how is whitney ? chad : do n't ask . not good ? ethan : really . how so ? chad : well she says she needs some time to think . and um , it is killing me . you know i ca n't go on like this so i gave her an ultimatum , either we get married by christmas or we are through . ethan : chad -- chad : i know it is harsh but it is the right thing to do . i ca n't take this . ethan : well , you know i seem to remember you saying something to me in my office awhile back about you knowing a lot about adultery . does whitney have reason to be suspicious here ? this is your whole life we are talking about here . i mean is whitney right ? are you having an affair with another woman ? [ scene_break ] sam : luis , i got another call about a peeping tom down on 31st street . i want to set up a trap to catch this guy . one of the residents down there was nice enough to let us use his house . i have burt as back up and i need a female officer to be inside of the house acting as if she is living there . you know , the usual stuff , dress in skimpy clothes with the curtains open . let this guy get a good look at her so we can lure him in . fancy : i can do it . i 'd be perfect . luis : no , you are not doing it and that 's final . fancy : i am almost a full - fledged officer . graduation is right around the corner . i can do this , sam ! luis : forget it . fancy : please ! luis : forget it . sam : luis is in charge of cadets so if he says , no -- luis : and i do . sam : you heard him . but , we need female officer in there so -- kelly , unfortunately , you are not going to have the night off . you are going have that peeping tom assignment . what i need you to do is go change and get back to the assignment , ok ? kelly : if you say so , chief . [ scene_break ] noah : hey ! whoa , whoa ! do n't go off half cocked . this is not checkers , it is chess you got to think ahead . now kay told you not to mention any of this to fox . if you go in there and tell her fiancee that you 're in love with her , kay will be even more upset than she was to begin with . miguel : look , i hate this . fox is n't my favorite person in the world , but i hate lying to him . i just wish i understood your sister . noah : i 've heard that before . miguel : look , i do n't even know what i did to upset her . everything was going so well . we understood each other about everything . and then all of sudden she 's furious with me . noah : are you sure you did n't say something or do something ? miguel : no . nothing . the only thing that she was worried about was whether my feelings for charity would ever come back . i swore over and over , no . charity is my past and kay is the only woman in my heart now . maybe that 's it . maybe i need to find a way absolutely to prove to kay that charity means nothing to me . noah : ok , how are you going to that ? if only kay could hear you tell charity that kay 's the one you love . miguel : that 's it . that 's exactly what i have to do . noah , you are a genius . i have to find charity and have her call kay . she can tell kay that she over me as i am over her ! how am i going to find charity ? fox : you ca n't . that 's the last thing that i can let miguel do . [ scene_break ] tabitha : as soon as i tell kay that the charity and miguel she saw making love were really imposters she will forgive miguel ! what ! endora , this door was not locked ! you locked it . unlock this door immediately . but , sweet pea , we have to tell kay that miguel did n't betray her . fox must have set up those two imposters because he knew that kay was going to break things off with him . miguel , is the one that that kay wants to marry . you know that ! you want her to be happy do n't you ? you are the one who likes to spread sweetness and light wherever you go ! but that does not make sense , endora ! you know we are both very fond of kay are n't we ? she deserves to marry the man she loves the most . and does n't poor misguided fox deserve to have a woman who loves him and only him ? oh ! you really are a stubborn little devil are n't you ! but mummy is going to win this time whether you like it or not ! i am going to tell kay the truth . kay : tell me what ? [ scene_break ] ethan : is whitney right ? is there another woman ? chad : no . no way , man i would never do that to whitney . she is the only woman for me . ethan : all right . then what are you going to do ? i mean what if she it does n't want marry you by christmas ? you are n't dumb enough to lose her over something like that are you ? chad : i do n't want that , but it has gone on too long . i do n't know how to convince her she 's wrong . ethan : chad , if you 're going to listen to anyone , you need to listen to me . it is hell losing the woman that you love . chad : well it is not up to me now . ethan : man you got to get over yourself . can you imagine your life without whitney ? can you imagine her with another man , dating another man ? how about married to another man . let me tell you something it is miserable . chad : who are we talking about here ? chad harris . now ? ah , okay . okay . i will be there . see you soon . i got to go . i will talk to you later . ethan : who was that ? chad : just a friend . see you . ethan : see you . i hope whitney 's wrong , chad . for both of your sakes . [ scene_break ] theresa : can you really give up the love of your life because of suspicion ? can you really give up that dream of having a happy marriage and a family ? would n't it just be better if you told chad that you want to get married ? i can clear the deck and we can plan a wedding that would knock the socks off of fox and kay 's ! would n't that be fun ? whitney : yes . theresa : can we do it ? whitney : i do n't want to do just because it sounds fun . it is still not right ! theresa : do you remember when i confessed to you that i hired the private investigator and you told me to have him stop . i did . we did n't see the reports because , per my instructions , he burned it . whitney : right . right , and that must have been expensive . theresa : it does n't matter . i want to know if you want me to rehire him . he can follow chad and we can find out once and for all if he is really cheating on you or not . whitney : you know , it just seems so underhanded to me . i do n't know . theresa : we will make this one phone call and i can call the private investigator and tell him to follow chad , and we will know for sure if what you are feeling is real or totally wrong . [ scene_break ] luis : look , i am sorry if you are disappointed that i am not letting you out on the peeping tom case . sex crimes are nasty , ok , and they turn dangerous in a second . sam : fancy , could you excuse , us please ? fancy : yes , sure . kelly : button me up , would you ? fancy : yeah , sure . so , burt , how does this set up work exactly ? burt : piece of cake . i wait outside in a good hiding spot somewhere where the peeping tom ca n't see me . but , i can still watch what 's going on . and then , we just wait for someone to start peeking in the window . kelly : i am the bait . i flounce around in the living room like betty boop with the curtains wide open . why tonight of all nights ? fancy : you had big plans ? kelly : the best ! it was supposed to be my night off . my new boyfriend was taking me to an amazing christmas party . i even bought a new dress . he was not very happy when i called him to cancel . fancy : well then go ! kelly : huh ? fancy : yes . i will take assignment for you . i will go on the case . kelly : you ca n't do that . fancy : why not ? i will take your place on the peeping tom case and you can go to your party . kelly : are you sure ? fancy : yes . absolutely . i would love to do it and i have no plans . kelly : i do n't know . fancy : well , trust me . it will be fine . kelly : okay . okay . i 'm gon na go call my boyfriend right now ! fancy : i knew this would work out . burt : hey , you sure you will be okay on this ? i heard luis , he does not want you on this case . fancy : oh , come on . luis is just a nervous nelly . i can handle this , and besides it is not like i am on my own . i have a big strong man to look out for me . you ! burt : do n't blame me if you get in trouble . fancy : trouble ? this will be a walk in the park .

[ scene_break ] irina : no , the guard 's outside working around the clock . jax : hold -- hold on a second . is this how you treat every man you plan to kill ? irina : you 're jerry 's little brother . this is special just for you . jax : well , you know what ? i 'm intrigued , but i 'm also married . irina : you 're still a man . jax : yeah . let me rephrase that -- i 'm a happily married man who does n't cheat on his wife , okay ? ah ! irina : does infidelity count if you 're going to die ?

[ judge pounds gavel ] diane : shut up . judge : sit down , mr. morgan , or face the consequences . jason : tell lansing to back off ! ric : your honor can see that mr. morgan is volatile and dangerous , and i think for everyone 's safety , the state suggests that the prisoner be shackled for the remainder of the trial . [ scene_break ] spinelli : did you know that billiards started out as a way to play croquet indoors ? logan : croquet ? spinelli : yes , croquet . it 's a lawn game for the privileged ones -- probably not too big where you come from . logan : what do you want ? spinelli : are you also aware that if thrown accurately -- accurately and with the right amount of force , a billiard ball can cause severe brain damage regardless of how small or smarmy or unworthy that brain may be ? logan : let me guess -- your hard drive has crashed and you fear you 're going to die of loneliness . spinelli : for clarity 's sake -- logan : mm - hmm . spinelli : let me put this into the language of your people -- small - brained people . logan : right , yeah . spinelli : leave lulu alone . logan : ahem . spinelli : if she shows up here , be gone with you . logan : so what you 're saying is you do n't respect or trust lulu to make her own decisions , do you ? spinelli : the blond one has been recently through some pretty difficult times , most of which i ca n't mention to you because , see , the blond one confides her deepest wishes and fears in i , the jackal , so -- logan : you know what ? i have actually had some really , just , well , horrible stuff happen to me , and if you would like to hear about it -- spinelli : look , do n't confuse the blond one 's empathy for your plight with your own wishful thinking , okay ? fair lulu will not be drawn into the james dean - ishness of your social rebellion . logan : what are you talking about ? spinelli : i will not stand by and watch you hurt my friend . logan : oh . i got it . you 're her friend , and i 'm about to be a hell of a lot more . [ scene_break ] lulu : yeah , logan has moments where he can be a great guy , but they 're just moments . the rest of the time , he 's -- georgie : arrogant , pushy , hostile , and really obnoxious the way he talks about working for sonny as if it makes him special ? lulu : well , he has risked his life for sonny more than once . georgie : so now you 're defending him ? lulu : i 'm just trying not to judge him . look , coop told me to stay away from him and coop 's his best friend . georgie : do you trust coop ? lulu : he has no reason to lie to me -- i mean , unless maxie put him up to it . georgie : uh -- no , i think coop 's too honorable to let my sister use him like that . lulu : i just -- i know that logan has a good side to him , i 've seen it . i 'm just -- i 'm not sure that it outweighs the bad . georgie : let 's be honest -- you like logan 's bad side . no , no , no , really , because if you did n't , you 'd realize that it 's spinelli who 's been amazing to you . lulu : spinelli is my friend . georgie : yeah -- yeah , and he 's also , you know , funny and smart and the kind of guy who stays with a girl for the long run , but , you know , why would you go for that when you can have a completely unpredictable guy who is guaranteed to stomp on your heart ? lulu : are you saying you could go for spinelli ? georgie : hmm -- not on a bet . he 's totally into you and i wo n't put my heart through that again . [ scene_break ] sonny : it 's just pizza . why is it so hard for you to accept anything from me ? kate : oh , sonny . not everything is about you . sonny : well -- kate : look , i have a museum party in -- sonny : oh . kate : the next month and i 'm wearing a neil laurent original and it 's not going to drape right if i 'm packed in it like a sausage . sonny : speaking of sausage -- this used to be your favorite . come on -- you know that you like that . take it , take it . kate : no , it was your favorite . mine was pepperoni and extra cheese . sonny : and hotdogs at coney island , fire hydrants to cool off fully dressed -- now , you wo n't even risk getting wet in the shower . kate : oh -- i am someone who lives a very different life . do n't look at me like that . what , you still boost cars ? sonny : whatever . kate : there was a time when i could n't say no to you . sonny : well , i wish i had known then so i 'd have tried -- sonny : you know , for that extra . kate : yeah , well , it 's your loss , because now i 'm a woman who can say no to anything . mm - hmm -- it 's all about self - control . it 's crucial and i wo n't let go of it . sonny : well , you wo n't let go of anything -- that 's the problem . like , you know , unless we 're talking about those pills you accidentally took from your boss -- those enhancing drugs -- kate : yeah , see , and a gentleman would n't feel the need to remind me of that . sonny : well , i 'm not trying to be disrespectful , connie . i 'm just saying you -- it just seems like you ca n't have fun anymore . kate : oh ! you mean -- excuse me -- your idea of fun . see , what you do n't get -- this works for me . i 'm comfortable with who i am , and i 'm not going to change it for anyone . it 's my idea of fun and i 'm sorry if it does n't meet your standards . [ scene_break ] [ knock on door ] sam : oh , no -- not interested . amelia : i have news about jason 's trial . elizabeth is on the stand . ric wants to know if she ever slept with jason . [ scene_break ] [ judge pounds gavel ] diane : your honor , my client does not need to be restrained . he did n't attack anyone , he poses no threat . he simply had a justifiably adverse reaction to the district attorney 's persistent badgering of this witness , but i can assure this court it will not happen again . the d.a . 's line of questioning is both invasive and irrelevant . as was already stipulated , mr. lansing was once married to this witness and is now using this trial as an opportunity to punish her for the divorce . the district attorney has railroaded my client before , your honor , but this may be the most egregious violation because he has brought murder charges against my client for a man who may not even be dead ! ric : your honor , defense is making closing argument . diane : oh . judge : mr. lansing , do you intend to call any witnesses you have n't slept with ? diane : oh ! ric : your honor , i hold no more malice towards mrs. spencer than i did to samantha mccall . diane : then you should be finished questioning her , because she told you everything she knows about the afternoon in question . my client received a phone call about coffee . ric : i am establishing that mrs. spencer 's testimony might be biased towards mr. morgan . and in light of that fact , the prosecution would like to continue this line of questioning . [ scene_break ] kate : everything else aside , it was nice of you to bring this to me . sonny : yeah ? well , it was great the way you handled ric 's questions , and i was kind of surprised since he accused me of using you as an alibi . kate : oh , i was just being honest . i found the d.a . 's whole line of questioning absurd . so , what , you get one phone call in front of me and supposedly it 's to order this alcazar person 's murder ? sonny : mm - hmm . kate : it 's melodramatic and silly . i mean , business people get lots of phone calls , at least 50 a day . sonny : it was a setup . ric got you on the stand to establish that i made that call . that way , he can get elizabeth on the stand to testify she saw jason get the call . then , he can harass elizabeth , make jason blow up , and prove jason is dangerous . kate : well , if i were still connie falconeri from bensonhurst , i 'd tell your brother , ric , to get a life . sonny : hmm . michael : hey , dad . so uh -- michael : hi , miss howard . um -- can we get our ball out of your pond ? kate : koi , lily , or meditation ? sonny : okay , hold on one second here . first of all , love you guys . what are you doing here , and where is your mother ? [ scene_break ] carly : you know , spinelli may be strange , but he managed to come up with a lot of information on lorenzo . i mean , if this does n't prove that he 's still alive , nothing will – man : got her . [ irina whimpers ] irina : why am i here ? jerry : no . [ man cocks gun ] jerry : do n't do it . man : she no longer matters . jerry : no . no ! no ! no ! [ gunshot ] jerry : oh . hmm . hmm . carly : what is wrong with you ? [ jerry sighs ] jerry : ahem . [ scene_break ] jax : you know , i 'd be interested to hear your version of what happened with my brother . irina : why ? jax : because jerry -- jerry thinks you 're dead . and , actually , he 's been living with a lot of guilt . irina : one must have conscience to feel guilt , which means jerry has neither . jax : my brother 's always been a rogue , but he 's also always had a conscience . and then he met you . next time he showed up , you were supposedly dead and he took more than a dozen people hostage , which begs the question -- are you the reason my brother lost his soul ? irina : torture changes you . it makes you realize exactly how far you 'll go to stay alive . for me , that meant cooperating . jax : you were tortured , too ? irina : you reach a point where all you can think is , `` how do i make them stop ? `` i finally agreed to let them use me against jerry . jax : oh , so you 're angry at jerry for betraying you when you really betrayed him , too ? how does that give you the moral high ground ? ah ! [ scene_break ] amelia : i was called to testify by the prosecution . while i waited , i watched on closed - circuit television in the witness room . became clear they were n't going to get to me today , but before i left , i saw ric grilling elizabeth on the stand , asking if she 'd ever slept with jason . sam : what did she say ? amelia : well , the defense objected and they were all arguing when i left , but i can only assume that elizabeth -- the paragon of virtue that she is -- will admit the truth . and if the d.a . 's line of questioning leads right to `` who 's jake 's daddy , `` you 'll get everything you wanted . elizabeth and jason will both be exposed as liars . sam : no , if you had listened to anything that i had ever said , you would know that that 's not what i want . amelia : right , right -- it 's all about the baby you ca n't have . well , at least little jake comes out of this once the truth comes out , there 's nothing to stop jason and elizabeth from being together and raising their own child . [ knock on door ] sam : oh , excuse me . nikolas : hi . sam : hi , come in . nikolas : well , why -- why 'd you want to see me ? sam : get ready to prop up your brother because it 's about to hit the fan . nikolas : what ? what 's wrong with lucky ? sam : well , lucky is about to find out what kind of a liar he married . [ scene_break ] judge : the court sees no reason to restrain the defendant at this time , but be warned , mr. morgan -- one more outburst like the one we just witnessed and i 'll reverse my decision . diane : my client fully understands , your honor . it will not happen again . judge : additionally , i believe the prosecution 's line of questioning regarding the nature of the witness ' relationship to mr. morgan is relevant . the d.a . may continue . ric : thank you , your honor . mrs. spencer , we 've already established a friendship with mr. morgan . did it ever progress to a romantic level ? elizabeth : yes , we dated a long time ago . ric : was it serious ? elizabeth : not really . when we broke up , we were able to remain friends . ric : careful , mrs. spencer . you are under oath to tell the truth . elizabeth : that is the truth . ric : did you have sex with the defendant when the two of you were dating ? elizabeth : no . ric : did you ever have sex with jason morgan ? mrs. spencer , you 're under oath . have you and the accused , jason morgan , ever had a sexual relationship ? elizabeth : yes . [ scene_break ] amelia : d.a . lansing has introduced elizabeth and jason 's personal relationship into her testimony . sam : look , amelia , there 's no reason to sugarcoat it . nikolas knows all about what they did last summer . amelia was at the courthouse , and she could n't wait to run over with all the gory details . she 's good that way . nikolas : i 'm -- i 'm sorry , this is n't something i care to discuss with a stranger , so if you could -- amelia : oh , privacy is n't an option at this point . elizabeth is about to admit under oath that she 's intimately involved with jason . by the end of the day , the whole town will be dishing about it . enjoy it while you can . oh , no doubt you 'll want to comfort poor lucky . sam : oh -- amelia : someone needs to . sam : please go . [ door closes ] nikolas : well -- [ sam sighs ] nikolas : how much does she know about my brother ? sam : okay , i -- i made the mistake of confiding in amelia . i wanted the truth to come out a long time ago , but i did n't want to mess with lucky 's sobriety . but it 's time . the truth needs to come out . [ scene_break ] ric : mrs. spencer , how long have you and jason morgan been lovers ? elizabeth : we 're not lovers . it was one night . ric : hmm . and when did that one night occur ? was it within the last year ? winter ? spring ? when ? elizabeth : just after you had sex with your stepdaughter . judge : the witness will answer . elizabeth : last august . ric : hmm . and you 've remained close with the defendant since then , correct ? elizabeth : yes , we 've stayed friends . ric : well , with benefits . diane : objection . ric : sorry , your honor , i apologize . how many times would you say you have seen your friend mr. morgan since that night last august ? diane : oh -- your honor , we have already established that the witness had sex with my client on one occasion . the d.a . 's continuing this line of questioning is both pointless and prurient . judge : i 'll see you both in chambers . [ judge pounds gavel ] judge : court is in recess for 10 minutes . [ scene_break ] sonny : did your mom mention where she was going when she dropped you off without letting me know ? michael : she said that she could help jason . it 's -- sonny : can you , for a couple of minutes , just watch them while i figure this out ? kate : of course . how hard can it be ? michael : yeah , right . so , can we please get our ball from the pond ? kate : oh -- michael , honestly , what do you have against my koi ? michael : not the fish . the one with the big flowers floating in it . kate : my water lily pond ? you -- the one i had designed to look like a monet painting ? michael : i guess . kate : no , honey , no . no . i ca n't have you flailing about my pink carpensis . they 're too delicate . morgan , i -- i 'll buy you another ball . michael : but he likes that ball . it 's the last thing that jax gave him before he left . kate : okay . well , you know what ? we 're just going to wait for your father to get back and he 'll figure it out . in the meantime , there 's pizza . morgan -- no , morgan !

[ jerry chuckles ] jerry : oh , do -- do you reserve the hatred for the ex - husbands or just the dead ones ? carly : lorenzo was the biggest mistake i ever made . jerry : well , you see , your being alcazar 's ex - wife is going to come in our favor , although i 'm surprised that you followed me all the way to caracas , or anywhere else for that matter . carly : i would do anything to save jason -- jerry : oh . carly : even put up with you . jerry : so i gather . but would you go half as far for my brother ? [ scene_break ] irina : no , the guard 's outside working around the clock . jax : hold -- hold on a second . is this how you treat every man you plan to kill ? irina : you 're jerry 's little brother . this is special just for you . jax : well , you know what ? i 'm intrigued , but i 'm also married . irina : you 're still a man . jax : yeah . let me rephrase that -- i 'm a happily married man who does n't cheat on his wife , okay ? ah ! irina : does infidelity count if you 're going to die ? [ scene_break ] ric : it 's a simple question , mrs. spencer . over the years of your meaningful friendship with the defendant , have you and jason morgan ever had sex ? jason : leave her alone , ric ! diane : objection .

[ lulu sighs ] lulu : logan asked me out on a date . georgie : did you say yes ? lulu : not exactly . georgie : so you 're procrastinating ? [ lulu sighs ] lulu : he 's waiting for me at jake 's . logan said all i had to do was play a game of pool , and if i win , he 'll leave me alone . georgie : do you want him to ? [ scene_break ] sonny : it 's the closest thing we have to tony 's pizza from the old neighborhood . as you can see , um , thin crust , spicy sauce . we got the beer that was on ice , so it 's real cold , so when you , you know , open it -- kate : what are you doing ? sonny : i am thanking you because of what you did on the stand -- making ric look like a fool and i am making you an offer that you can not refuse . kate : i can under no circumstances eat pizza . sonny : we 're just going to keep this , like , our little secret -- you know , like everything else about us .

[ scene_break ] spinelli : did you know that billiards started out as a way to play croquet indoors ? logan : croquet ? spinelli : yes , croquet . it 's a lawn game for the privileged ones -- probably not too big where you come from . logan : what do you want ? spinelli : are you also aware that if thrown accurately -- accurately and with the right amount of force , a billiard ball can cause severe brain damage regardless of how small or smarmy or unworthy that brain may be ? logan : let me guess -- your hard drive has crashed and you fear you 're going to die of loneliness . spinelli : for clarity 's sake -- logan : mm - hmm . spinelli : let me put this into the language of your people -- small - brained people . logan : right , yeah . spinelli : leave lulu alone . logan : ahem . spinelli : if she shows up here , be gone with you . logan : so what you 're saying is you do n't respect or trust lulu to make her own decisions , do you ? spinelli : the blond one has been recently through some pretty difficult times , most of which i ca n't mention to you because , see , the blond one confides her deepest wishes and fears in i , the jackal , so -- logan : you know what ? i have actually had some really , just , well , horrible stuff happen to me , and if you would like to hear about it -- spinelli : look , do n't confuse the blond one 's empathy for your plight with your own wishful thinking , okay ? fair lulu will not be drawn into the james dean - ishness of your social rebellion . logan : what are you talking about ? spinelli : i will not stand by and watch you hurt my friend . logan : oh . i got it . you 're her friend , and i 'm about to be a hell of a lot more . [ scene_break ] lulu : yeah , logan has moments where he can be a great guy , but they 're just moments . the rest of the time , he 's -- georgie : arrogant , pushy , hostile , and really obnoxious the way he talks about working for sonny as if it makes him special ? lulu : well , he has risked his life for sonny more than once . georgie : so now you 're defending him ? lulu : i 'm just trying not to judge him . look , coop told me to stay away from him and coop 's his best friend . georgie : do you trust coop ? lulu : he has no reason to lie to me -- i mean , unless maxie put him up to it . georgie : uh -- no , i think coop 's too honorable to let my sister use him like that . lulu : i just -- i know that logan has a good side to him , i 've seen it . i 'm just -- i 'm not sure that it outweighs the bad . georgie : let 's be honest -- you like logan 's bad side . no , no , no , really , because if you did n't , you 'd realize that it 's spinelli who 's been amazing to you . lulu : spinelli is my friend . georgie : yeah -- yeah , and he 's also , you know , funny and smart and the kind of guy who stays with a girl for the long run , but , you know , why would you go for that when you can have a completely unpredictable guy who is guaranteed to stomp on your heart ? lulu : are you saying you could go for spinelli ? georgie : hmm -- not on a bet . he 's totally into you and i wo n't put my heart through that again . [ scene_break ] sonny : it 's just pizza . why is it so hard for you to accept anything from me ? kate : oh , sonny . not everything is about you . sonny : well -- kate : look , i have a museum party in -- sonny : oh . kate : the next month and i 'm wearing a neil laurent original and it 's not going to drape right if i 'm packed in it like a sausage . sonny : speaking of sausage -- this used to be your favorite . come on -- you know that you like that . take it , take it . kate : no , it was your favorite . mine was pepperoni and extra cheese . sonny : and hotdogs at coney island , fire hydrants to cool off fully dressed -- now , you wo n't even risk getting wet in the shower . kate : oh -- i am someone who lives a very different life . do n't look at me like that . what , you still boost cars ? sonny : whatever . kate : there was a time when i could n't say no to you . sonny : well , i wish i had known then so i 'd have tried -- sonny : you know , for that extra . kate : yeah , well , it 's your loss , because now i 'm a woman who can say no to anything . mm - hmm -- it 's all about self - control . it 's crucial and i wo n't let go of it . sonny : well , you wo n't let go of anything -- that 's the problem . like , you know , unless we 're talking about those pills you accidentally took from your boss -- those enhancing drugs -- kate : yeah , see , and a gentleman would n't feel the need to remind me of that . sonny : well , i 'm not trying to be disrespectful , connie . i 'm just saying you -- it just seems like you ca n't have fun anymore . kate : oh ! you mean -- excuse me -- your idea of fun . see , what you do n't get -- this works for me . i 'm comfortable with who i am , and i 'm not going to change it for anyone . it 's my idea of fun and i 'm sorry if it does n't meet your standards . [ scene_break ] [ knock on door ] sam : oh , no -- not interested . amelia : i have news about jason 's trial . elizabeth is on the stand . ric wants to know if she ever slept with jason . [ scene_break ] [ judge pounds gavel ] diane : your honor , my client does not need to be restrained . he did n't attack anyone , he poses no threat . he simply had a justifiably adverse reaction to the district attorney 's persistent badgering of this witness , but i can assure this court it will not happen again . the d.a . 's line of questioning is both invasive and irrelevant . as was already stipulated , mr. lansing was once married to this witness and is now using this trial as an opportunity to punish her for the divorce . the district attorney has railroaded my client before , your honor , but this may be the most egregious violation because he has brought murder charges against my client for a man who may not even be dead ! ric : your honor , defense is making closing argument . diane : oh . judge : mr. lansing , do you intend to call any witnesses you have n't slept with ? diane : oh ! ric : your honor , i hold no more malice towards mrs. spencer than i did to samantha mccall . diane : then you should be finished questioning her , because she told you everything she knows about the afternoon in question . my client received a phone call about coffee . ric : i am establishing that mrs. spencer 's testimony might be biased towards mr. morgan . and in light of that fact , the prosecution would like to continue this line of questioning . [ scene_break ] kate : everything else aside , it was nice of you to bring this to me . sonny : yeah ? well , it was great the way you handled ric 's questions , and i was kind of surprised since he accused me of using you as an alibi . kate : oh , i was just being honest . i found the d.a . 's whole line of questioning absurd . so , what , you get one phone call in front of me and supposedly it 's to order this alcazar person 's murder ? sonny : mm - hmm . kate : it 's melodramatic and silly . i mean , business people get lots of phone calls , at least 50 a day . sonny : it was a setup . ric got you on the stand to establish that i made that call . that way , he can get elizabeth on the stand to testify she saw jason get the call . then , he can harass elizabeth , make jason blow up , and prove jason is dangerous . kate : well , if i were still connie falconeri from bensonhurst , i 'd tell your brother , ric , to get a life . sonny : hmm . michael : hey , dad . so uh -- michael : hi , miss howard . um -- can we get our ball out of your pond ? kate : koi , lily , or meditation ? sonny : okay , hold on one second here . first of all , love you guys . what are you doing here , and where is your mother ? [ scene_break ] carly : you know , spinelli may be strange , but he managed to come up with a lot of information on lorenzo . i mean , if this does n't prove that he 's still alive , nothing will – man : got her . [ irina whimpers ] irina : why am i here ? jerry : no . [ man cocks gun ] jerry : do n't do it . man : she no longer matters . jerry : no . no ! no ! no ! [ gunshot ] jerry : oh . hmm . hmm . carly : what is wrong with you ? [ jerry sighs ] jerry : ahem . [ scene_break ] jax : you know , i 'd be interested to hear your version of what happened with my brother . irina : why ? jax : because jerry -- jerry thinks you 're dead . and , actually , he 's been living with a lot of guilt . irina : one must have conscience to feel guilt , which means jerry has neither . jax : my brother 's always been a rogue , but he 's also always had a conscience . and then he met you . next time he showed up , you were supposedly dead and he took more than a dozen people hostage , which begs the question -- are you the reason my brother lost his soul ? irina : torture changes you . it makes you realize exactly how far you 'll go to stay alive . for me , that meant cooperating . jax : you were tortured , too ? irina : you reach a point where all you can think is , `` how do i make them stop ? `` i finally agreed to let them use me against jerry . jax : oh , so you 're angry at jerry for betraying you when you really betrayed him , too ? how does that give you the moral high ground ? ah ! [ scene_break ] amelia : i was called to testify by the prosecution . while i waited , i watched on closed - circuit television in the witness room . became clear they were n't going to get to me today , but before i left , i saw ric grilling elizabeth on the stand , asking if she 'd ever slept with jason . sam : what did she say ? amelia : well , the defense objected and they were all arguing when i left , but i can only assume that elizabeth -- the paragon of virtue that she is -- will admit the truth . and if the d.a . 's line of questioning leads right to `` who 's jake 's daddy , `` you 'll get everything you wanted . elizabeth and jason will both be exposed as liars . sam : no , if you had listened to anything that i had ever said , you would know that that 's not what i want . amelia : right , right -- it 's all about the baby you ca n't have . well , at least little jake comes out of this once the truth comes out , there 's nothing to stop jason and elizabeth from being together and raising their own child . [ knock on door ] sam : oh , excuse me . nikolas : hi . sam : hi , come in . nikolas : well , why -- why 'd you want to see me ? sam : get ready to prop up your brother because it 's about to hit the fan . nikolas : what ? what 's wrong with lucky ? sam : well , lucky is about to find out what kind of a liar he married . [ scene_break ] judge : the court sees no reason to restrain the defendant at this time , but be warned , mr. morgan -- one more outburst like the one we just witnessed and i 'll reverse my decision . diane : my client fully understands , your honor . it will not happen again . judge : additionally , i believe the prosecution 's line of questioning regarding the nature of the witness ' relationship to mr. morgan is relevant . the d.a . may continue . ric : thank you , your honor . mrs. spencer , we 've already established a friendship with mr. morgan . did it ever progress to a romantic level ? elizabeth : yes , we dated a long time ago . ric : was it serious ? elizabeth : not really . when we broke up , we were able to remain friends . ric : careful , mrs. spencer . you are under oath to tell the truth . elizabeth : that is the truth . ric : did you have sex with the defendant when the two of you were dating ? elizabeth : no . ric : did you ever have sex with jason morgan ? mrs. spencer , you 're under oath . have you and the accused , jason morgan , ever had a sexual relationship ? elizabeth : yes . [ scene_break ] amelia : d.a . lansing has introduced elizabeth and jason 's personal relationship into her testimony . sam : look , amelia , there 's no reason to sugarcoat it . nikolas knows all about what they did last summer . amelia was at the courthouse , and she could n't wait to run over with all the gory details . she 's good that way . nikolas : i 'm -- i 'm sorry , this is n't something i care to discuss with a stranger , so if you could -- amelia : oh , privacy is n't an option at this point . elizabeth is about to admit under oath that she 's intimately involved with jason . by the end of the day , the whole town will be dishing about it . enjoy it while you can . oh , no doubt you 'll want to comfort poor lucky . sam : oh -- amelia : someone needs to . sam : please go . [ door closes ] nikolas : well -- [ sam sighs ] nikolas : how much does she know about my brother ? sam : okay , i -- i made the mistake of confiding in amelia . i wanted the truth to come out a long time ago , but i did n't want to mess with lucky 's sobriety . but it 's time . the truth needs to come out . [ scene_break ] ric : mrs. spencer , how long have you and jason morgan been lovers ? elizabeth : we 're not lovers . it was one night . ric : hmm . and when did that one night occur ? was it within the last year ? winter ? spring ? when ? elizabeth : just after you had sex with your stepdaughter . judge : the witness will answer . elizabeth : last august . ric : hmm . and you 've remained close with the defendant since then , correct ? elizabeth : yes , we 've stayed friends . ric : well , with benefits . diane : objection . ric : sorry , your honor , i apologize . how many times would you say you have seen your friend mr. morgan since that night last august ? diane : oh -- your honor , we have already established that the witness had sex with my client on one occasion . the d.a . 's continuing this line of questioning is both pointless and prurient . judge : i 'll see you both in chambers . [ judge pounds gavel ] judge : court is in recess for 10 minutes . [ scene_break ] sonny : did your mom mention where she was going when she dropped you off without letting me know ? michael : she said that she could help jason . it 's -- sonny : can you , for a couple of minutes , just watch them while i figure this out ? kate : of course . how hard can it be ? michael : yeah , right . so , can we please get our ball from the pond ? kate : oh -- michael , honestly , what do you have against my koi ? michael : not the fish . the one with the big flowers floating in it . kate : my water lily pond ? you -- the one i had designed to look like a monet painting ? michael : i guess . kate : no , honey , no . no . i ca n't have you flailing about my pink carpensis . they 're too delicate . morgan , i -- i 'll buy you another ball . michael : but he likes that ball . it 's the last thing that jax gave him before he left . kate : okay . well , you know what ? we 're just going to wait for your father to get back and he 'll figure it out . in the meantime , there 's pizza . morgan -- no , morgan !

[ sighs ] although i 'll never understand why she wanted to die in brooke 's arms . although , you know , it does make sense . i ca n't even tell you how many times ... brooke has interfered in a special moment of mine . do you know that she showed up on a horse in the middle of my living room when ridge and i were getting remarried ? and where 's ridge now ? he 's as far away as he can possibly get because he is so tired of her dishonesty and her games . steffy and thomas feel the exact same way . that 's why they want to flee the country . i 'm so sick of brooke doing whatever she wants and taking whatever she wants . i try to see the best in people . i never ever would have believed things would end like this . eric : who says this is the end ?
with steffy pushed to the floor , hope tells her do not talk about her mother that way . she is proud of her mother and glad to be a logan . she gloats that she and liam belong together . steffy had her chance while she and liam never had theirs . steffy said but oh but she did . and even with the wedding in italy , liam came back to her . brooke interferes and tells steffy that she can not speak to her daughter that way . liam is making up his mind as they speak and steffy is now the one who needs to back off . hope says she is sure liam is going to pick her . they will marry and they will have children . steffy states she does n't think that is the way it will turn out . she can give liam something that hope ca n't right now . meanwhile taylor is still bemoaning to eric that while she was not born a forrester , neither was brooke . yet she walks around forrester as if she is entitled . taylor says she raised her children to be grateful . it seems brooke raised her to be takers . it is n't fair to steffy and the baby for hope to take advantage of this situation .

[ scoffs ] ... behaving as if she is . it 's like she 's engrained this ... this mind - set into her children , like they have this preeminence to take whatever it is they want ... whether it 's ... the father of steffy 's baby or thomas ' position in the company . it 's like it 's just -- it 's all fair . and i 've tried to raise my children to be respectful . and it 's like brooke has raised her children to be takers .

today is why we can not keep on pretending that things have n't been said and done ! whoever killed austin killed courtney , too , probably because she found the truth . sharon : she was the woman you loved . do you honestly believe -- noah : i have been defending you , mom ! i have been telling everybody that you are innocent , that you could never do anything like that . sharon : and that is right . you are absolutely right . noah : well , you burned down the ranch house . i did n't think you could do that . and you lied about summer 's real father . sharon : well , you know why i did those things . noah : do n't go there . sharon : noah ?

i mean , you 're just as bad as she is . nick : look , i do n't know where that came from , but i do n't want to fight with you . you need us , and we need to be pulling together as a family . noah : right , because that is the newman family policy , is n't it ? commit a crime , shut up , and cover it up . nick : what are you talking about ? sharon : noah , please do n't . noah : come on , mom . dad 's gon na find out soon enough anyways . too many people know . they 've all seen the interview . nick : what interview ? noah : mom spilled her guts out to austin . nick : i - i - i do n't understand . noah : well , she told all about how you wrecked that girl 's life back in high school . dylan : there 's just a lot of evidence pointing to sharon . avery : for austin 's murder ? dylan : and maybe courtney 's . avery : okay , this does n't make any sense . what would sharon 's motive be ? dylan : i do n't even want to get into that unless we have to . avery : we have to if she 's charged . dylan : yeah , but before that happens , maybe we can just prove that sharon 's being framed . avery : and is that the case ? dylan : okay . she saw someone throw an object from the car down the road from the cabin the night austin was murdered . i mean , that -- that tire iron could be the real murder weapon thrown by the killer . avery : or it could be a story sharon made up because she has no alibi for either murder . dylan : no , the tire iron backs up her story . avery : it backs up nothing . someone could 've left that on the side of the road that had an actual flat tire , or sharon could 've tossed it herself . dylan : there 's only one way to find out . get it tested for blood and fingerprints . avery : you want me to do that ? avery : come on , avery . you 're -- you have the connections . avery : dylan , that 's crossing a line . dylan : avery , somebody 's got to be able to do that without contacting the authorities . avery : okay , the authorities involve your father . what if paul finds out ? dylan : i understand what 's at stake . and it does n't change what i 'm asking . will you please help me ? avery : dylan , this is too important . i ca n't make this decision without having all the facts . dylan : okay , okay . what else do you need to know ? avery : i need to know why anyone would think sharon could commit cold - blooded murder twice . ashley : why are you bringing up my paternity ? jack : i -- it was the last thing on my mind until you said that thing about all abbott family secrets being public . ashley : look , i am an abbott . jack : i know that . ashley : and what happened between our mother , that affair she had -- nobody even knew about it for years , jack . jack : no one cares . you are my sister . you are an abbott in almost every way . ashley : in almost every way ? jack : except the one way victor can exploit . ashley : how do you think he could use this to come after our company ? jack : stir up some kind of salacious scandal about our mother , say that we 're all phonies , that we 've been lying to our consumers all this time . it 's a public relations nightmare . ashley : or ... ? jack : or ... [ sighs ] who knows how the man 's mind works . ashley : you know . you know . how could he come after us ? jack : by trying to cause infighting . ashley : abby . jack : abby is a perfect example . look . [ sighs ] she would be rocked by this . she would be so shaken , she -- she might even change sides feeling that she 'd been lied to her whole life . ashley : shh ! just be quiet . victor has known about my paternity for years . he 's been nothing but supportive , jack . jack : he had nothing to gain before . ashley : he has too much respect for me ! he has too much respect for my daughter . it would crush her to find out that dad was n't her biological grandfather . jack : and he would be all too happy to offer her solace . ashley : oh , my god . jack : he has nothing to lose here . ashley : oh , my god . [ voice breaking ] but do you think he would actually hurt me like that just to get our company ? jack : i did . look , all i 'm saying is do n't put victor past this . he 's taking this to a whole new level . all bets are off . ashley : [ crying ] victor : did it work out with the fingerprints , as we discussed ? good . [ sighs ] billy : hey , kev , i need your help . kevin : kind of busy here , billy . this whole system is fried . billy : i will pay you top dollar for technical services provided . kevin : well , as much as i would like to take a large chunk of your money , every move i make is being monitored . billy : question -- does paranoia automatically come with the `` hacker `` title ? kevin : i 'm not being paranoid . paul is keeping close tabs . i already got suspended once this week . billy : great ! you can do it on your downtime . kevin : billy , i do n't have any of that . billy : come on , kevin . this is important . kevin : look , i am trying to recover files for an organization whose primary focus is public safety . everyone in here keeps everyone in town safe . without these files , we 're talking about a breakdown of social order , complete chaos . we do n't want that . so what could be more important ? billy : taking down victor newman ? victoria : [ sighs ] stitch : how you doing , vick ? victoria : i 'm good . i 'm good . it 's just ... you know , it 's a little strange being so out of touch with you . stitch : it 's not by choice . victoria : no ! no , i understand . i know with work and looking out for abby 24/7 , it 's like ... i know . [ sighs ] stitch : well , hey , keep that understanding handy , because ... i may have to stay with abby longer than we originally planned . victoria : of course , yeah . i mean , you 're really not gon na get any arguments from me . her security is top priority . of course . stitch : i 'm sorry . victoria : no ! do n't be sorry . you and i -- we 're gon na find time for each other whenever we can , right ? stitch : whenever we can . nick : you did an interview ? sharon : i can explain . nick : no , i 'm gon na focus on my son right now ... and then we can talk about that later . noah : does n't matter . nick : no , it does matter , because you need to know , i deeply regret what happened when i was in high school . noah : okay . let 's just drop it . nick : and at the time , son , i had no idea anything was being covered up . noah : i do n't have the patience or the energy to deal with your past mistakes right now , dad . the woman i was supposed to marry today is dead ! and if the past is any lesson , her killer 's just gon na get away with it . nick : so is that what i walked in on ? you think your mother had something to do with courtney 's death ? noah : no , mom . no , i - i do n't think that . i do n't . sharon : i know . it 's okay . you 're just upset right now . noah : i should n't be asking you that , right ? i mean , it 's just , people keep on bringing these questions to me , and they 're just , like ... sharon : [ crying ] believe me , i did not do that . i would never hurt courtney or austin . nick : why would you ever think that , that your mother could ever hurt courtney ? sharon : people are just jumping to these ludicrous conclusions right now ! noah : austin was murdered , too . nick : i thought that was an accident . noah : no . courtney found out the truth . and somebody killed her before she could tell anyone . nick : what does that have to do with your mother ? noah : well , mom told austin your secret about the high - school pool party , and so now they 're saying that could 've given mom motive . dylan : in the interview she gave austin , sharon revealed a secret from nick 's past . avery : what secret ? dylan : that -- that does n't even matter at this point , but she used it to get more visitation with faith . avery : she 's blackmailing nick ? ! dylan : i know , i know . it 's not right . avery : it 's abhorrent , dylan . dylan : but that 's not a reason for an innocent woman to be charged with murder , is it ? avery : [ sighs ] dylan : avery , i do n't think sharon did this . just help me , and get that -- get that tire iron tested . [ knock on door ] dylan : it 's paul . hey , paul . i did n't expect you here . i was gon na meet you at the station . paul : well , you have n't left , and i 'm here . can i come in ? ashley : [ voice breaking the father who i do n't know , except that he was some golden boy at the country club , probably making it with half of the rich women there . and that is my natural father . and those are the people that i 'm a part of . i mean , is it any wonder why i 'm is it any wonder that i - i do n't know who i am or what i 'm going to become ? tell me . do n't i deserve to be terrified ? jack : hey . talk to me . what are you thinking ? ashley : still trying to recover from that comment you made about me being an abbott in almost every way . jack : can i make it up to you ? ashley : go ahead and try . jack : how about i make you a promise ? i will not allow your life to be blown up in public . i protect my family . [ voice breaking ] you are my family in every way that matters to me . no `` almost `` about it . ashley : [ sniffles ] jack : hey . summer all right ? phyllis : nope . that 's why i was on the phone so long -- trying to calm her down . jack : what do you mean ? what happened ? phyllis : she got some real bad news today . one of her friends , courtney , is dead . jack : dead ? ashley : courtney ? you mean noah 's fiancée ? jack : what happened ? phyllis : i do n't know . i do n't have the whole story . ashley : oh , my god . i got to go see abby . jack : yeah , yeah . oh , my goodness . summer must be inconsolable . she 's lost her husband now , and her best friend ? phyllis : i 'm gon na go over there . i will probably spend the night . jack : okay , yeah . i got it . i got it . phyllis : okay ? jack ... [ sighs ] jack : hey , i know . i know . it is a rough time . we will get summer through it , and then we will get back to our wedding . phyllis : honey , we have to call it off . paul : can i come in ? dylan : sure . come on in . avery : can i get you something to drink , paul ? paul : uh , no , thanks . i just need to spend some time alone with dylan . avery : i do n't think that 's such a good idea . paul : oh , geez . you 're already lawyered up ? dylan : i did n't want to keep anything from avery . i filled her in on what happened to austin . paul : you know , dylan ... [ scoffs ] ... i really hate where this is going . dylan : i - i 'm sorry . it just , it ca n't -- it ca n't be helped . paul : well , i thought we made some -- some great strides as father and son . and yet , here we are again -- another interrogation . dylan : paul , i - i hate it as much as you do . paul : well , then , why did n't you come to me with the truth , dylan ? i mean , i - i kind of understand why the kids lied to me . they were scared . and even stitch . he has his own reasons for being worried about the law . but you and i are family . i mean , admittedly , new family , but we 're still flesh and blood . so , why ? what -- y - you did n't feel as though you could trust me ? dylan : no , i just -- i heard about all the threats . i just -- i heard that abby was hospitalized with the threat not to go to the cops . the killer could 've done much worse to her . paul : right , so you thought you 'd look into it yourself . dylan : yes , and i noticed that you have n't enlisted the entire department to work these two murders . paul : no , i did n't . but i 'm the chief of police . that 's my prerogative . dylan : right , and we both want to keep summer and noah and the rest of those kids alive . you 're gon na follow up with your investigation , and i 'm gon na just -- avery : not do anything illegal . that was not an admission of guilt by my client . paul : thanks for that , avery . well , dylan , let me give you a piece of free advice . back off . dylan : i ca n't do that . paul : i can keep this investigation under the radar . i have resources at my disposal that you do n't . and you working this case all alone like some vigilante just could get someone else killed ! dylan : yeah , i want to get this guy just as much as you do . paul : so you 've already determined that it 's a guy ? you 've eliminated `` she `` ? dylan : what -- s - somebody like sharon ? i know summer accused sharon . that 's for personal reasons . sharon is innocent . paul : and how can you be sure ? dylan : because she has an alibi for both murders . me . sharon : noah ... you have to believe me . i did n't kill austin or courtney . [ crying ] you know i was all for the wedding . you heard me . i gave my blessing to courtney . noah : i know . i - i know . nick : noah , look inside your heart . you ca n't possibly believe your mother would ever hurt the woman you were planning to marry . noah : i know . i 'm just -- i 'm just so frustrated and wrecked and ... and angry . i 'm so ... so angry .

[ sobbing ] [ knock on door ] abby : who 's there ? ashley : it 's your mom . abby : hi . ashley : oh , my god . honey , i heard about courtney . are you okay ? abby : it 's okay , it 's okay . i have you and the abbott family to count on , and -- and stitch has been great , too , with the police and everything . ashley : what do you mean , with the police ? why were you talking to the police ? is this connected to the mugging somehow , what happened to courtney ? abby : no . no . um ... ashley : honey , what are n't you telling me ? why were you talking to the police ? please , tell me why were you talking to the police . stitch : they wanted to talk to abby because she 's the one who found the body . dylan : i was -- i was with sharon the night austin was killed , at her place with faith . paul : and when courtney was killed ? dylan : yes . paul : you know , dylan , as your father , i would like to take you at your word . but as chief of police , i 'm going to have to look into this alibi a little further . dylan : that 's , uh -- that 's okay . i 'm not happy about it , but i do understand that . paul : well , i 'm not happy about any of this , dylan . i 've got to go . i have to give a very difficult press conference . dylan : yeah , paul , look . i 'm -- i 'm sorry for your loss . thank you . avery : why did you lie about being with sharon ? dylan : well , to buy some time . avery : paul 's right . what you 're trying to do -- it 's reckless and dangerous . you do n't owe sharon anything , certainly not your life . dylan : it 's not gon na come to that , but i ca n't abandon sharon right now . avery : but you 're committing crimes , dylan ! you 're lying to the police , obstructing justice . is sharon really worth all this ? dylan : you know , that 's a strange question coming from an attorney who 's dedicated to the innocence foundation . avery : oh , that 's not fair . dylan : why am i the only one in town presuming sharon 's innocent ? is n't that how it 's supposed to work ? avery : yes , presumed innocent until proven guilty . [ sighs ] i 'll get this tested . sharon : did he say anything else ? nick : just that paul told him not to talk about this to anyone else . he 's trying to keep the kids safe . sharon : thank you , nick . nick : do n't thank me . sharon : [ sighs ] [ voice breaking ] look , i know you 're really upset right now , it means a lot to me that you believe in me . nick : i 'm gon na make this very clear for what i said in front of him was for his sake . to find out you are blackmailing me is probably the last thing he needs right sharon : you were trying to take my daughter away from me . nick : you told me what happened years ago would stay between you , me , and my father . you never said anything about an interview . sharon : i tried to take the interview back . i tried to get austin to delete it , but he would n't . and then he died , and i figured w would -- i figured the video would die along with him , and no one would ever see it ! nick : well , it was seen . and now my son thinks the worst of me . sharon : no , he does n't . he would never . he 's just -- he right now over courtney . nick : i 'm tired of this . if you 're gon na push your kids right out of your life , sharon . and i 'm not gon na help you get them back . [ door shuts ] ashley : oh , my god . you found courtney 's body ? why did n't you call me ? did you try to help her ? were you protecting abby : yes , yes , he did ! stitch has been my rock through this whole thing . stitch : abby , it 's all right . abby : no , it 's not all right , and i am done answering these questions ! ashley : abby , abby , you have n't answered my questions !

stitch : i do n't want anything to happen to abby . ashley : i 'm talking about the rest of it . i 'm talking about all the looks between you and abby . you really care about her , do n't you ? stitch : yeah , i do . kevin : i 'm intrigued by the challenge and possibility of taking down victor newman . billy : great , so you 'll do it ? kevin : uh ... this department , um , it 's personal . it needs to be my priority right billy : what -- what exactly happened here ? kevin : the system was hacked , sabotaged by a terminal virus . billy : seems to be going around genoa city . jabot was just hacked , and victor 's claiming t was , too . kevin : you do n't believe him ? billy : no . kevin : all roads always lead to victor . victor : oh , what is being done to bring noah 's fiancée 's killer to justice ? paul : well , victor , you really do n't have to worry about that . it 's -- it 's being handled . victor : well , do that . hope the investigation is conducted quietly and efficiently . paul : that 's my intention . victor : all right . i hope the investigation does n't become a circus ... with the newman family at the center of it . paul : [ sighs ] victor : and i also hope that you wo n't turn this against the newmans to get back at us for what happened to christine . victoria : okay . well , abby 's sorry she got so emotional . she wants to see you . she ' .. ashley : thank you . victoria : sure . ashley : excuse me . victoria : she 'll be safe with ashley for a little while . stitch : yeah . victoria : i could stay and keep you company . stitch : oh , i - i know you have things to do . victoria : yeah , but this i should be here with you . stitch : you do n't have to do that . victoria : i want to . finding time for each other , right ? stitch : right . billy : so , the gcpd and jabot are both dealing with hackers . and maybe the attacks are connected , but i ca n't think of any reason why victor would want h hack the police computers . kevin : i might know one . billy : yeah ? like what ? kevin : you know , i will look into that jabot hack for you . awesome , kevin . look , um , i 'll -- i 'll be in touch . kevin : whoa , whoa . hold up . where are you -- where you headed ? billy : uh , to follow up on my own . kevin : just be careful . this is turning into a dangerous game . jack : you want to call off the wedding ? phyllis : look , i do n't want to cancel our wedding plans altogether . now is not the time . jack : because of what is happening with summer . phyllis : yes . honey , she needs me . and now we 've got this stupid victor ? jack : whoa , whoa , whoa . i 'll stop you there . i will postpone things f summer 's sake . but victor is not deciding ourtete . no , we will help summer find will whisk you off to the wedding that we plan phyllis : okay , i do n't want my fiancé to be distracted with thoughts of this plotting . jack : i will be thinking only of my bride ; besides , billy and ashley are perfectly capable of holding down the fort . besides , if i take off , it might sabotage victor 's plan . phyllis : how do y that ? jack : he wo n't want to fire the first volley without his favorite target in sight . paul : you know , i resent the implication that you think this case is being mishandled . courtney is one of my own . and i will do everything in my power to see to it that her ays . victor : good . paul : i 'm on my way to give a presaw the killer in . so i do n't need threats or demands from anybody , including those who might be possible suspects . victor : what the hell does that mean ? paul : justice will be served , no matter who 's responsible . victor : i certainly hope so . nick : hey , dad . victor : hi , son . um , how 's noah ? nick : not very good . victor : that poor boy . i just had the strangest conversation with paul williams . saying something as if he was implicating me in -- in -- in this whole thing , as if i had a motive . sharon : i really ca n't deal with anyone right now . dylan : i found the object you saw thrown out of the car the night austin was murdered . sharon : you did ? dylan : yes . it was a tire iron . sharon : [ gasps ] oh , my god . that 's the murder weapon . that 's evidence , dylan . that could clear me . that -- oh , my gosh . thank you . dylan : all right . all right . sharon : thank you for believing in me enough to search the side of the road . dylan : let 's not get your hopes up yet . avery 's gon na have the tire iron tested . sharon : you told avery about this ? dylan : yeah , she 's bound by attorney / client privilege . and she can secretly have it tested for dna , blood , and fingerprints . sharon : she 's gon na find what i need to clear my name . i know it . dylan : there 's something else to be concerned about . you remember the killer 's headlights in your eyes . sharon : that 's right . dylan : well , that means the killer may have seen you . you 're the only witness to him disposing of the weapon , and that puts you in a lot of danger . [ next_on ] kyle : it 's my life , my decisions . and what 's the big rush ? jack : our company is being threatened . sage : i ended this farce of a marriage . nick : what made you finally go for it ? sage : you . chelsea : you told me everything i need to know . adam : i did n't tell you everything .
paul wants dylan to back off the murder case but dylan thinks he can help . jack , ashley , and phyllis wonder what victor has up his sleeve and if it 's personal . jack brings up ashley 's paternity . noah asks sharon if she had anything to do with courtney 's death . nick hears this and , for noah 's sake , sticks up for sharon . stitch and abby grow closer as they become more involved in the murder cases . ashley realizes that stitch cares about abby .

who ? summer ? she has an ax to grind . and who else ? kyle ? he has a crush on her , so whatever she thinks , he goes along with it . and who else ? dylan ? yeah , he has his doubts , but he says he 's trying to help me , so that proves -- noah : how about the chief of police ? sharon : paul thinks i did this ? noah : kevin was able to decrypt your interview video . sharon : i know . dylan told me . noah : and we heard everything that you accused dad of doing . and now chief williams knows it , too . sharon : [ sighs ] i was really hoping that we could just forget about that , put it behind us , especially today . noah : forget about that ? today is why we can not keep on pretending that things have n't been said and done ! whoever killed austin killed courtney , too , probably because she found the truth . sharon : she was the woman you loved . do you honestly believe -- noah : i have been defending you , mom ! i have been telling everybody that you are innocent , that you could never do anything like that . sharon : and that is right . you are absolutely right . noah : well , you burned down the ranch house . i did n't think you could do that . and you lied about summer 's real father . sharon : well , you know why i did those things . noah : do n't go there . sharon : noah ? ! noah : do n't ! do not say it 's because you were sick ! being sick could never be an excuse for this . i mean , are you really that messed up that you ca n't see that ? ! nick : noah ! that 's enough . nick : noah , i know you 're in a lot of pain right now , but you ca n't take it out on your mom . noah : oh . well , of course you 're defending her . i really should n't be surprised , should i ? i mean , you 're just as bad as she is . nick : look , i do n't know where that came from , but i do n't want to fight with you . you need us , and we need to be pulling together as a family . noah : right , because that is the newman family policy , is n't it ? commit a crime , shut up , and cover it up . nick : what are you talking about ? sharon : noah , please do n't . noah : come on , mom . dad 's gon na find out soon enough anyways . too many people know . they 've all seen the interview . nick : what interview ? noah : mom spilled her guts out to austin . nick : i - i - i do n't understand . noah : well , she told all about how you wrecked that girl 's life back in high school . dylan : there 's just a lot of evidence pointing to sharon . avery : for austin 's murder ? dylan : and maybe courtney 's . avery : okay , this does n't make any sense . what would sharon 's motive be ? dylan : i do n't even want to get into that unless we have to . avery : we have to if she 's charged . dylan : yeah , but before that happens , maybe we can just prove that sharon 's being framed . avery : and is that the case ? dylan : okay . she saw someone throw an object from the car down the road from the cabin the night austin was murdered . i mean , that -- that tire iron could be the real murder weapon thrown by the killer . avery : or it could be a story sharon made up because she has no alibi for either murder . dylan : no , the tire iron backs up her story . avery : it backs up nothing . someone could 've left that on the side of the road that had an actual flat tire , or sharon could 've tossed it herself . dylan : there 's only one way to find out . get it tested for blood and fingerprints . avery : you want me to do that ? avery : come on , avery . you 're -- you have the connections . avery : dylan , that 's crossing a line . dylan : avery , somebody 's got to be able to do that without contacting the authorities . avery : okay , the authorities involve your father . what if paul finds out ? dylan : i understand what 's at stake . and it does n't change what i 'm asking . will you please help me ? avery : dylan , this is too important . i ca n't make this decision without having all the facts . dylan : okay , okay . what else do you need to know ? avery : i need to know why anyone would think sharon could commit cold - blooded murder twice . ashley : why are you bringing up my paternity ? jack : i -- it was the last thing on my mind until you said that thing about all abbott family secrets being public . ashley : look , i am an abbott . jack : i know that . ashley : and what happened between our mother , that affair she had -- nobody even knew about it for years , jack . jack : no one cares . you are my sister . you are an abbott in almost every way . ashley : in almost every way ? jack : except the one way victor can exploit . ashley : how do you think he could use this to come after our company ? jack : stir up some kind of salacious scandal about our mother , say that we 're all phonies , that we 've been lying to our consumers all this time . it 's a public relations nightmare . ashley : or ... ? jack : or ... [ sighs ] who knows how the man 's mind works . ashley : you know . you know . how could he come after us ? jack : by trying to cause infighting . ashley : abby . jack : abby is a perfect example . look . [ sighs ] she would be rocked by this . she would be so shaken , she -- she might even change sides feeling that she 'd been lied to her whole life . ashley : shh ! just be quiet . victor has known about my paternity for years . he 's been nothing but supportive , jack . jack : he had nothing to gain before . ashley : he has too much respect for me ! he has too much respect for my daughter . it would crush her to find out that dad was n't her biological grandfather . jack : and he would be all too happy to offer her solace . ashley : oh , my god . jack : he has nothing to lose here . ashley : oh , my god . [ voice breaking ] but do you think he would actually hurt me like that just to get our company ? jack : i did . look , all i 'm saying is do n't put victor past this . he 's taking this to a whole new level . all bets are off . ashley : [ crying ] victor : did it work out with the fingerprints , as we discussed ? good . [ sighs ] billy : hey , kev , i need your help . kevin : kind of busy here , billy . this whole system is fried . billy : i will pay you top dollar for technical services provided . kevin : well , as much as i would like to take a large chunk of your money , every move i make is being monitored . billy : question -- does paranoia automatically come with the `` hacker `` title ? kevin : i 'm not being paranoid . paul is keeping close tabs . i already got suspended once this week . billy : great ! you can do it on your downtime . kevin : billy , i do n't have any of that . billy : come on , kevin . this is important . kevin : look , i am trying to recover files for an organization whose primary focus is public safety . everyone in here keeps everyone in town safe . without these files , we 're talking about a breakdown of social order , complete chaos . we do n't want that . so what could be more important ? billy : taking down victor newman ? victoria : [ sighs ] stitch : how you doing , vick ? victoria : i 'm good . i 'm good . it 's just ... you know , it 's a little strange being so out of touch with you . stitch : it 's not by choice . victoria : no ! no , i understand . i know with work and looking out for abby 24/7 , it 's like ... i know . [ sighs ] stitch : well , hey , keep that understanding handy , because ... i may have to stay with abby longer than we originally planned . victoria : of course , yeah . i mean , you 're really not gon na get any arguments from me . her security is top priority . of course . stitch : i 'm sorry . victoria : no ! do n't be sorry . you and i -- we 're gon na find time for each other whenever we can , right ? stitch : whenever we can . nick : you did an interview ? sharon : i can explain . nick : no , i 'm gon na focus on my son right now ... and then we can talk about that later . noah : does n't matter . nick : no , it does matter , because you need to know , i deeply regret what happened when i was in high school . noah : okay . let 's just drop it . nick : and at the time , son , i had no idea anything was being covered up . noah : i do n't have the patience or the energy to deal with your past mistakes right now , dad . the woman i was supposed to marry today is dead ! and if the past is any lesson , her killer 's just gon na get away with it . nick : so is that what i walked in on ? you think your mother had something to do with courtney 's death ? noah : no , mom . no , i - i do n't think that . i do n't . sharon : i know . it 's okay . you 're just upset right now . noah : i should n't be asking you that , right ? i mean , it 's just , people keep on bringing these questions to me , and they 're just , like ... sharon : [ crying ] believe me , i did not do that . i would never hurt courtney or austin . nick : why would you ever think that , that your mother could ever hurt courtney ? sharon : people are just jumping to these ludicrous conclusions right now ! noah : austin was murdered , too . nick : i thought that was an accident . noah : no . courtney found out the truth . and somebody killed her before she could tell anyone . nick : what does that have to do with your mother ? noah : well , mom told austin your secret about the high - school pool party , and so now they 're saying that could 've given mom motive . dylan : in the interview she gave austin , sharon revealed a secret from nick 's past . avery : what secret ? dylan : that -- that does n't even matter at this point , but she used it to get more visitation with faith . avery : she 's blackmailing nick ? ! dylan : i know , i know . it 's not right . avery : it 's abhorrent , dylan . dylan : but that 's not a reason for an innocent woman to be charged with murder , is it ? avery : [ sighs ] dylan : avery , i do n't think sharon did this . just help me , and get that -- get that tire iron tested . [ knock on door ] dylan : it 's paul . hey , paul . i did n't expect you here . i was gon na meet you at the station . paul : well , you have n't left , and i 'm here . can i come in ? ashley : [ voice breaking the father who i do n't know , except that he was some golden boy at the country club , probably making it with half of the rich women there . and that is my natural father . and those are the people that i 'm a part of . i mean , is it any wonder why i 'm is it any wonder that i - i do n't know who i am or what i 'm going to become ? tell me . do n't i deserve to be terrified ? jack : hey . talk to me . what are you thinking ? ashley : still trying to recover from that comment you made about me being an abbott in almost every way . jack : can i make it up to you ? ashley : go ahead and try . jack : how about i make you a promise ? i will not allow your life to be blown up in public . i protect my family . [ voice breaking ] you are my family in every way that matters to me . no `` almost `` about it . ashley : [ sniffles ] jack : hey . summer all right ? phyllis : nope . that 's why i was on the phone so long -- trying to calm her down . jack : what do you mean ? what happened ? phyllis : she got some real bad news today . one of her friends , courtney , is dead . jack : dead ? ashley : courtney ? you mean noah 's fiancée ? jack : what happened ? phyllis : i do n't know . i do n't have the whole story . ashley : oh , my god . i got to go see abby . jack : yeah , yeah . oh , my goodness . summer must be inconsolable . she 's lost her husband now , and her best friend ? phyllis : i 'm gon na go over there . i will probably spend the night . jack : okay , yeah . i got it . i got it . phyllis : okay ? jack ... [ sighs ] jack : hey , i know . i know . it is a rough time . we will get summer through it , and then we will get back to our wedding . phyllis : honey , we have to call it off . paul : can i come in ? dylan : sure . come on in . avery : can i get you something to drink , paul ? paul : uh , no , thanks . i just need to spend some time alone with dylan . avery : i do n't think that 's such a good idea . paul : oh , geez . you 're already lawyered up ? dylan : i did n't want to keep anything from avery . i filled her in on what happened to austin . paul : you know , dylan ... [ scoffs ] ... i really hate where this is going . dylan : i - i 'm sorry . it just , it ca n't -- it ca n't be helped . paul : well , i thought we made some -- some great strides as father and son . and yet , here we are again -- another interrogation . dylan : paul , i - i hate it as much as you do . paul : well , then , why did n't you come to me with the truth , dylan ? i mean , i - i kind of understand why the kids lied to me . they were scared . and even stitch . he has his own reasons for being worried about the law . but you and i are family . i mean , admittedly , new family , but we 're still flesh and blood . so , why ? what -- y - you did n't feel as though you could trust me ? dylan : no , i just -- i heard about all the threats . i just -- i heard that abby was hospitalized with the threat not to go to the cops . the killer could 've done much worse to her . paul : right , so you thought you 'd look into it yourself . dylan : yes , and i noticed that you have n't enlisted the entire department to work these two murders . paul : no , i did n't . but i 'm the chief of police . that 's my prerogative . dylan : right , and we both want to keep summer and noah and the rest of those kids alive . you 're gon na follow up with your investigation , and i 'm gon na just -- avery : not do anything illegal . that was not an admission of guilt by my client . paul : thanks for that , avery . well , dylan , let me give you a piece of free advice . back off . dylan : i ca n't do that . paul : i can keep this investigation under the radar . i have resources at my disposal that you do n't . and you working this case all alone like some vigilante just could get someone else killed ! dylan : yeah , i want to get this guy just as much as you do . paul : so you 've already determined that it 's a guy ? you 've eliminated `` she `` ? dylan : what -- s - somebody like sharon ? i know summer accused sharon . that 's for personal reasons . sharon is innocent . paul : and how can you be sure ? dylan : because she has an alibi for both murders . me . sharon : noah ... you have to believe me . i did n't kill austin or courtney . [ crying ] you know i was all for the wedding . you heard me . i gave my blessing to courtney . noah : i know . i - i know . nick : noah , look inside your heart . you ca n't possibly believe your mother would ever hurt the woman you were planning to marry . noah : i know . i 'm just -- i 'm just so frustrated and wrecked and ... and angry . i 'm so ... so angry . [ crying ] who could do this to courtney , you know ? i mean , it 's ... who could do this to her ?

[ sighs ] i 'll get this tested . sharon : did he say anything else ? nick : just that paul told him not to talk about this to anyone else . he 's trying to keep the kids safe . sharon : thank you , nick . nick : do n't thank me . sharon : [ sighs ] [ voice breaking ] look , i know you 're really upset right now , it means a lot to me that you believe in me . nick : i 'm gon na make this very clear for what i said in front of him was for his sake . to find out you are blackmailing me is probably the last thing he needs right sharon : you were trying to take my daughter away from me . nick : you told me what happened years ago would stay between you , me , and my father . you never said anything about an interview . sharon : i tried to take the interview back . i tried to get austin to delete it , but he would n't . and then he died , and i figured w would -- i figured the video would die along with him , and no one would ever see it ! nick : well , it was seen . and now my son thinks the worst of me . sharon : no , he does n't . he would never . he 's just -- he right now over courtney . nick : i 'm tired of this . if you 're gon na push your kids right out of your life , sharon . and i 'm not gon na help you get them back .

[ chuckles ] sabrina : robin ... look , i hope that you do n't think that i was trying to take your place . i know that nobody could have ever replaced my mother . so i know that i could n't take your place with emma . robin : thank you for saying that . sabrina : not any more than i could with patrick . epiphany : someone looks like they could use a hug . heather : [ breathing heavily ] franco : so ... the last time you visited me ... heather : uh - huh . franco : ... your pals from miscavige -- they promised me that they would lock you up and that you would stay locked up and that they would plug up all of the holes in their security . heather : well , there 's one little thing they forgot to mention . you see , they are the holes in the security . franco : i do n't know what that means . heather : it means that they 're my friends , and they help me come and see you when i want . franco : well , then , they 're fired . heather : oh , do n't be so headstrong . i guess it 's just your artistic temperament , but you need me . franco : i do ? heather : yeah . franco : what do i need you for ? heather : because i 'm watching over you . i 'm keeping you safe , like -- like , for example -- see , this is what i 've been doing . when you dropped off your résumé at pcu ... franco : mm - hmm . heather : ... i was watching . and when carly came over here this morning ... franco : you were watching . heather : and waiting while you two did some unspeakable things . and , yes , you 're right , son . i did make that call . but , you see , i had to get you out of here . and i have to put an end to the threat that is carly jacks . franco : i told you that if you ever went near carly again that i would end you . heather : oh , please . you would never do that . i mean , not to your own moth -- heather : [ groans ] franco : shh . spinelli : ellie 's new job is in -- is in portland , and we have been , uh , discussing the possibility of -- of me accompanying her . maxie : portland ? spinelli : yeah . maxie : like , you would go live there ? what about the baby ? spinelli : as -- as i was telling ellie , since i have full custody , i 'd be taking her with us . maxie : so , when you were saying , `` we ca n't do this to maxie , `` that 's what you were talking about . ellie : maxie , please realize we would never do that to you . i mean , it would not be fair . spinelli : ye - yeah . uh , you know , as much as i - i hate asking ellie to postpone her dream , i - i think the decision is quite clear . ellie : yeah . no , it definitely is . spinelli : yeah , yeah . we could -- we could never do that to you . and -- and you 're right . ellie and i ca n't be far apart from each other . maxie : ellie , you should -- you should take the job . ellie : no , but , maxie , we just explained why it would just not be a good -- spinelli : yeah . you yourself explained it . i mean , ellie -- we really should n't be far away from each other , and -- maxie : well , you should go with her . spinelli : what about the baby ? maxie : and you should take the baby . aj : the first thing that you need to know about me is that , um ... i 've been a failure my whole life . i 've always run away from my responsibilities . the last time i escaped , i was away for a long time . it took my brother 's death for me to come back . but , see , this time , i was determined . i was gon na be a better man . i was gon na be a better son . i was gon na be a better father . little by little , i - i rebuilt my life . i finally took control of my family 's company . judge chua : for the record , that company is elq , correct ? aj : yes , your honor . and , um , the best part was that i - i fixed my relationship with my son , michael . i was finally a father to my son until connie falconeri wrote that article in the newspaper . scott : your honor , the defendant is referring to people 's exhibit `` b , `` the port charles newspaper article that said , `` kiki not a ' q . ' `` judge chua : mr. quartermaine ? aj : you see , your honor , when that article came out , i lost control of elq . and that 's -- that 's when everything started to spiral out of control . and suddenly , i was this huge loser again . and i blamed connie for it . i - i went to a bar , and i drank a lot . i just -- i tried to make the pain go away . and the pain , it turned into rage at connie . and i - i just kept -- i kept drinking until i could n't feel anything anymore , and i blacked out , and that was that . judge chua : so , you remember nothing about the murder itself ? aj : i 'm sorry , your honor . i -- [ sighs ] all i remember is how much i hated connie and thinking that if i could get rid of her , i could make the pain go away . i do vaguely recall taking my aunt 's gun from our safe . i have no recollection of going to the metro court . and i - i can -- i can vaguely remember entering connie 's office . but i swear i do n't remember pulling the trigger . i do n't remember killing her . i know that my fingerprints are on the murder weapon , but -- but all that means is that i held the gun at some point , which i 've already admitted . it does n't mean that i pulled the trigger . could n't somebody else have done it ? i mean , is n't that possible ? i - i think so . i hope so . michael : so do it . aj : look , i may never know the answer . all i can do is pray . i mean , i pray that i 'm not the kind of man that could murder a defenseless woman . here 's the god 's honest truth . i - i do n't know . i just do n't know . your honor , that 's all i 've got . judge chua : mr. baldwin , do you want to cross - examine ? scott : oh , your honor , indeed i do . heather : my son . my son ! my son . [ crying ] look what you did to your own -- own mother . but it 's okay . [ sniffles ] i forgive you . i will always love you . [ groans ] [ sighs ] sonny : is this a bad time ? carlos : what do you guys want ? shawn : you 're coming with us . sonny : you 're gon na go for a little ride . patrick : thank you , but i 'm fine . epiphany : drake jr. , who do you think you 're talking to ? i was there at that church yesterday . you could have knocked me over with a feather when dr. scorpio - drake showed up . patrick : pretty unbelievable , right ? epiphany : right . and i also saw when you planted that kiss on her in front of god and everybody . it 's obvious that you two love each other . patrick : yeah . it is . epiphany : too bad for , uh , nurse santiago , though . patrick : epiphany , i do n't want to talk about this . epiphany : i saw her when she ran out of that church like she was on fire . and i also saw you do the right thing when you went after her . and i also saw when you came back . but what i did n't see was who you went home with . was it robin or sabrina ? patrick : neither . i did n't go home with either one of them . i spent the night alone . robin : from what emma told me , you did everything you could to keep my memory alive for her . sabrina : yeah , of course . of course , i did . robin : and you brought back the nurses ' ball . [ chuckles ] i - i have that to thank you for , as well . sabrina : oh , i was -- i was so happy to do that . robin : okay , i do n't know how to say this , so i 'm just gon na say it . sabrina : please . robin : i do n't think that you tried to replace me in patrick 's life . i - i think that you found your own place in his heart , and ... he fell in love with you , obviously . he was ready to spend the rest of his life with you . sabrina : yeah , well , that was before you came back . i mean , everything 's different now . robin : i 'm not so sure about that . i do n't know if patrick told you , but yesterday at the church , uh , i told him to go after you . sabrina : you did ? [ chuckles ] why ? robin : i watched the wedding . i watched , um , a good deal of it , and it was obvious to me -- it kept hitting me over and over again how much he loves you and how much you love him . and i thought that you deserved an explanation right away , and patrick was so shocked by seeing me , he was just -- you know , he could n't move . sabrina : well , i 'm sure he thought that you would [ chuckles ] disappear again if he -- if he blinked . robin : something like that . that 's why i told him to go talk to you . sabrina : well , thank you for doing that . robin : of course . i know that he had to talk to you . it was the right thing to do , but what i did n't expect was what happened when he came back after he talked to you . sabrina : what did you expect ? robin : well , i expected to go home with him . [ chuckling ] i mean -- but that 's not what happened . sabrina : wait , so , you did n't go home with patrick and emma ? robin : no . patrick asked me to , but i said `` no `` because he told me that he did not break things off with you . sabrina , i know that i have no right to ask you this , but ... sabrina : what ? robin : i need you to help me get my husband back . scott : let me get this straight . you admit that you had hatred for the victim ? michael : just say `` yes , `` `` no , `` or `` i do n't know . `` scott : mr. quartermaine , do you admit that you had hatred for the victim ? aj : yes , i do . scott : and do you admit that , likewise , you thought that by getting rid of her , the pain would go away ? aj : yes . scott : and you admit that you deliberately retrieved the murder weapon from the safe in your house with the express intent of killing the victim ? aj : yes . scott : but you do n't remember killing the victim ? aj : no . not at all . scott : how convenient . no further questions . judge chua : mr. quartermaine , since you 're representing yourself , will you be calling any other witnesses in your own defense ? aj : no , your honor . judge chua : so , the defense rests ? aj : yes , your honor . the defense rests . judge chua : you may step down . we 're ready to hear closing arguments . mr. quartermaine , the defense goes first . aj : uh , your honor , would it be possible just to skip it ? i just -- i believe i 've said everything that i need to say . judge chua : you may . aj : thank you . judge chua : mr. baldwin , proceed . franco : mother ? mother ? can you hear me ? [ sighs ] i told you . i told you to stay away from carly . [ sighs ] oh . what have i done ? what have i done ? [ water stops ] franco : carly ca n't know . carly can never find out . she 'll think i 'm still a psycho . [ grunts ] [ grunts ] [ sighs ] spinelli : why would you want me to take the baby to portland ? how could -- how could you bear her being so far away ? maxie : what i ca n't bear is her being so close . she 's across town , and i ca n't see her . it -- it 's killing me . i ca n't keep myself away from her . i ca n't . spinelli : you can , and you will . maxie : no , spinelli . it 's -- it 's too hard . and eventually , you 're gon na let me see her . you 'll let me hold her for a minute or two , which will turn into five minutes . and then the next time , maybe 10 minutes until , what , we get caught ? and then i go to jail ? spinelli : maxie , you 're not gon na go to jail . i 'll do everything in my power to keep you from her , no matter how heartless i have to be . maxie : i think that we all know heartless is not in your playbook . and once i go to jail , they 'll take the baby away from you . and then she 'll wind up without either one of us . spinelli : no . that 's not gon na happen . maxie : you 're right . it 's not . because you and ellie are gon na go to portland . and you 're gon na take the baby with you . and i do n't have to deal with the constant temptation , the constant ache that is pulling my heart towards hers . spinelli : you 're asking me to separate you from your daughter by thousands of miles . maxie : you would be doing me a favor . we 'll all be better off , spinelli , especially our daughter . epiphany : i 'm sorry to say that , uh , i did n't think this was gon na be an easy decision for you . patrick : [ chuckles ] epiphany , if somebody would have told me that i would n't wrap my arms around robin and take her home with me and never let her go if i ever saw her again , i would say that they 're absolutely crazy . epiphany : [ chuckles ] patrick : i love robin . but sabrina and i -- we -- we built something , something special . epiphany : you have . patrick : and i love sabrina . and it does n't just go away . but i love robin , too . sabrina : what , exactly , are you asking me to do ? robin : patrick is confused . i mean , who can blame him ? he thought i was dead for the last two years . and i had also left him a dvd telling him that i wanted him to move on if anything were to happen to me . and -- and i am so glad that he found you . i really am . i - i appreciate that he had that time with you . but i 'm back now . i 'm his wife . he is my husband , and emma is my daughter . and i want them back . so , i 'm asking you to make that decision for patrick and , please , just -- just let him go . spinelli : you know , we appreciate that you 're willing to do this for us . ellie : yeah , it really is beyond generous . spinelli : but , you know , the court is revisiting the custody issue in six months . perhaps they 'll rule in your favor . maxie : there is no guarantee that the judge is gon na find me fit . and i know if the baby stays in port charles , i will screw up between now and then and completely blow it . spinelli : no . you wo n't . you 'll walk the straight and narrow because your status as a mother depends on it . maxie : spinelli , that is just like you to have too much faith in me . and it used to be that when i screwed up , only you and i got hurt . now we have our daughter to think about . she has to come first . spinelli : i mean , that 's proof , in and of itself , that you 're a good mother , maxie . maxie : that 's very sweet of you to say ... but i kind of -- i deserve this . i was supposed to be a surrogate for dante and lulu , not give myself a baby . i do n't deserve one . spinelli : so , you 're saying the judge is right ? maxie : i 'm saying that i lied to you about our child . ellie : hey , i lied , too . maxie : only because i manipulated you . ellie : no . maxie , i made the decision to keep your secret . maxie : ellie , i played on your insecurities about spinelli . i mean , you two almost lost each other because of me . and i 'm not gon na let that happen again . i will not be the reason that you turn down your dream job . and i wo n't be the reason that spinelli does n't go with you , where he belongs . spinelli : but what about our daughter ? could you really let her go ? maxie : i love her so much it hurts . i love her so much that i ca n't stand to be the reason she stays here and risks losing both of us . so please promise me that you will go . epiphany : i wish i knew what to tell you , drake jr . patrick : i finally found a place where i could tuck away my love for robin -- like , a safe place where i could still feel it , but i also accepted the fact that i was never gon na share that love with her again , and when i did that , there was , like , this new pure wave of love that came flooding in for sabrina , and , i mean , we 're standing at the altar . we 're exchanging rings , and then ... epiphany : your wife comes home . patrick : i do n't know what to do . and i know that 's wrong and it 's selfish and i 'm letting them both hang there , and so , i mean , what does that say ? epiphany : it says you 're human . sabrina : you 're asking me to let patrick go ? robin : i know it 's not fair . sabrina : well , that 's not -- that 's not the point . i mean , this -- this is n't my decision to make . it 's patrick 's . he said that he needed time . robin : oh , come on . we 're talking about patrick here . patrick does n't want to hurt anyone . he especially does n't want to hurt you . you helped him through his grief . you helped emma with everything . you respected him until he was , you know , ready to move on . just make it easy for him . you can help him . sabrina : how am i supposed to help him ? robin : by making the decision for him . tell him . tell him that he 's my husband and that he belongs with me and now that i 'm back , you wo n't come between him and his family . he needs to know that you 're okay with that . sabrina : this is just -- it 's a lot . it 's a lot to process , robin . [ sighs ] robin : i 'm his wife , sabrina . i gave him that push to go to you yesterday . i 'm asking for you to do the same . you say that you love patrick . sabrina : i do love him . robin : then do this for him . be the strong one and make things right for all of us . carlos : oh , seriously , guys ? a cemetery ? you could n't think of something more subtle , like a horse 's head in my bed ? shawn : shut up . carlos : seriously , what are we doing here ? sonny : what are we doing here ? julian jerome have a stunod working for him ? shawn : it looks like . sonny : you know exactly what we 're doing here . julian needs to know that he ca n't mess with me and get away with it . shawn : you see , we need to , you know , send a message . looks like you drew the short straw . sonny : we ca n't go after julian because danny morgan might need his bone marrow . shawn : no . we got to put the baby first , right ? sonny : and i promised kiki that i would n't hurt her mother . so that leaves you , rivera . carlos : do it . do it . shoot me . get it over with . shoot me . scott : excellent closing argument , aj . aj : you know what ? you go to hell , baldwin . scott : no , i mean it . you made my job a lot easier , as well as the jury 's . kiki : do n't listen to that jerk . aj : it does n't matter whether i listen to him or not . baldwin 's right , and so is diane . i - i torpedoed my case . kiki : no , you do n't know that . aj : yeah , i - i do . but , i mean , you know , i had to tell the jury in my own words . i 'm sorry , michael . michael : you have nothing to apologize for . i mean , you getting up there , saying what you did -- that took a lot of guts . i do n't care what scott or anyone else has to say . look , that was amazing . aj : i could n't have done it without -- without you and kiki being here . and , you know , it does n't matter if the jury finds me guilty , because i 'll be okay because i 've got you on my side . franco : what have you done , mother ? hmm ? i told you not to go after carly . i told you , mother or not , i 'd kill you . you would n't listen . why ? you made me do this . was it part of a bigger plan , huh ? you get me to kill you and then carly figures out that i 'm the same psycho that i 've always been ? is that it ? night , mother . [ cell phone ringing ] [ ringing stops ] diane : franco ? what are you doing ? spinelli : i have -- i have to go . mercedes said she could only watch the baby for a couple of hours . um , ellie , perhaps you could come with me so we can discuss this further ? ellie : yeah . that 's a good idea . you 've given us a lot to think about . spinelli : and , maxie , though we appreciate the magnanimity of your offer , i - i urge you to think through this . maxie : i 'm not gon na change my mind . spinelli : look , you say that now , but -- maxie : no . i - i can tell that this is the right decision . for the first time in a long time , i - i feel better , like i 'm actually not gon na screw things up for our baby .

[ chuckles ] this is a beautiful dress . sabrina : oh , thanks . it was my mother 's . um , she -- she died when i was little . robin : oh , i 'm so sorry . well , i guess you and emma had that in common . sabrina : yeah , i thought we did . but , of course , you 're not , you know , dead . which is great . it 's great for emma . robin : [ sighs ] sabrina -- sabrina : yes ? robin : the reason that i 'm here is i - i wanted to say thank you . sabrina : for what ? robin : for taking such good care of my daughter and , uh ... for being there for her when i could n't . you make her really happy . sabrina : well , she -- it was my pleasure . robin : i was finally alone with emma last night , and she was telling me all of the things that you two do together , and ... she just adores you . [ chuckles ] sabrina : robin ... look , i hope that you do n't think that i was trying to take your place . i know that nobody could have ever replaced my mother . so i know that i could n't take your place with emma . robin : thank you for saying that . sabrina : not any more than i could with patrick . epiphany : someone looks like they could use a hug . heather : [ breathing heavily ] franco : so ... the last time you visited me ... heather : uh - huh . franco : ... your pals from miscavige -- they promised me that they would lock you up and that you would stay locked up and that they would plug up all of the holes in their security . heather : well , there 's one little thing they forgot to mention . you see , they are the holes in the security . franco : i do n't know what that means . heather : it means that they 're my friends , and they help me come and see you when i want . franco : well , then , they 're fired . heather : oh , do n't be so headstrong . i guess it 's just your artistic temperament , but you need me . franco : i do ? heather : yeah . franco : what do i need you for ? heather : because i 'm watching over you . i 'm keeping you safe , like -- like , for example -- see , this is what i 've been doing . when you dropped off your résumé at pcu ... franco : mm - hmm . heather : ... i was watching . and when carly came over here this morning ... franco : you were watching . heather : and waiting while you two did some unspeakable things . and , yes , you 're right , son . i did make that call . but , you see , i had to get you out of here . and i have to put an end to the threat that is carly jacks . franco : i told you that if you ever went near carly again that i would end you . heather : oh , please . you would never do that . i mean , not to your own moth -- heather : [ groans ] franco : shh . spinelli : ellie 's new job is in -- is in portland , and we have been , uh , discussing the possibility of -- of me accompanying her . maxie : portland ? spinelli : yeah . maxie : like , you would go live there ? what about the baby ? spinelli : as -- as i was telling ellie , since i have full custody , i 'd be taking her with us . maxie : so , when you were saying , `` we ca n't do this to maxie , `` that 's what you were talking about . ellie : maxie , please realize we would never do that to you . i mean , it would not be fair . spinelli : ye - yeah . uh , you know , as much as i - i hate asking ellie to postpone her dream , i - i think the decision is quite clear . ellie : yeah . no , it definitely is . spinelli : yeah , yeah . we could -- we could never do that to you . and -- and you 're right . ellie and i ca n't be far apart from each other . maxie : ellie , you should -- you should take the job . ellie : no , but , maxie , we just explained why it would just not be a good -- spinelli : yeah . you yourself explained it . i mean , ellie -- we really should n't be far away from each other , and -- maxie : well , you should go with her . spinelli : what about the baby ? maxie : and you should take the baby . aj : the first thing that you need to know about me is that , um ... i 've been a failure my whole life . i 've always run away from my responsibilities . the last time i escaped , i was away for a long time . it took my brother 's death for me to come back . but , see , this time , i was determined . i was gon na be a better man . i was gon na be a better son . i was gon na be a better father . little by little , i - i rebuilt my life . i finally took control of my family 's company . judge chua : for the record , that company is elq , correct ? aj : yes , your honor . and , um , the best part was that i - i fixed my relationship with my son , michael . i was finally a father to my son until connie falconeri wrote that article in the newspaper . scott : your honor , the defendant is referring to people 's exhibit `` b , `` the port charles newspaper article that said , `` kiki not a ' q . ' `` judge chua : mr. quartermaine ? aj : you see , your honor , when that article came out , i lost control of elq . and that 's -- that 's when everything started to spiral out of control . and suddenly , i was this huge loser again . and i blamed connie for it . i - i went to a bar , and i drank a lot . i just -- i tried to make the pain go away . and the pain , it turned into rage at connie . and i - i just kept -- i kept drinking until i could n't feel anything anymore , and i blacked out , and that was that . judge chua : so , you remember nothing about the murder itself ? aj : i 'm sorry , your honor . i -- [ sighs ] all i remember is how much i hated connie and thinking that if i could get rid of her , i could make the pain go away . i do vaguely recall taking my aunt 's gun from our safe . i have no recollection of going to the metro court . and i - i can -- i can vaguely remember entering connie 's office . but i swear i do n't remember pulling the trigger . i do n't remember killing her . i know that my fingerprints are on the murder weapon , but -- but all that means is that i held the gun at some point , which i 've already admitted . it does n't mean that i pulled the trigger . could n't somebody else have done it ? i mean , is n't that possible ? i - i think so . i hope so . michael : so do it . aj : look , i may never know the answer . all i can do is pray . i mean , i pray that i 'm not the kind of man that could murder a defenseless woman . here 's the god 's honest truth . i - i do n't know . i just do n't know . your honor , that 's all i 've got . judge chua : mr. baldwin , do you want to cross - examine ? scott : oh , your honor , indeed i do . heather : my son . my son ! my son . [ crying ] look what you did to your own -- own mother . but it 's okay . [ sniffles ] i forgive you . i will always love you . [ groans ] [ sighs ] sonny : is this a bad time ? carlos : what do you guys want ? shawn : you 're coming with us . sonny : you 're gon na go for a little ride . patrick : thank you , but i 'm fine . epiphany : drake jr. , who do you think you 're talking to ? i was there at that church yesterday . you could have knocked me over with a feather when dr. scorpio - drake showed up . patrick : pretty unbelievable , right ? epiphany : right . and i also saw when you planted that kiss on her in front of god and everybody . it 's obvious that you two love each other . patrick : yeah . it is . epiphany : too bad for , uh , nurse santiago , though . patrick : epiphany , i do n't want to talk about this . epiphany : i saw her when she ran out of that church like she was on fire . and i also saw you do the right thing when you went after her . and i also saw when you came back . but what i did n't see was who you went home with . was it robin or sabrina ? patrick : neither . i did n't go home with either one of them . i spent the night alone . robin : from what emma told me , you did everything you could to keep my memory alive for her . sabrina : yeah , of course . of course , i did . robin : and you brought back the nurses ' ball . [ chuckles ] i - i have that to thank you for , as well . sabrina : oh , i was -- i was so happy to do that . robin : okay , i do n't know how to say this , so i 'm just gon na say it . sabrina : please . robin : i do n't think that you tried to replace me in patrick 's life . i - i think that you found your own place in his heart , and ... he fell in love with you , obviously . he was ready to spend the rest of his life with you . sabrina : yeah , well , that was before you came back . i mean , everything 's different now . robin : i 'm not so sure about that . i do n't know if patrick told you , but yesterday at the church , uh , i told him to go after you . sabrina : you did ? [ chuckles ] why ? robin : i watched the wedding . i watched , um , a good deal of it , and it was obvious to me -- it kept hitting me over and over again how much he loves you and how much you love him . and i thought that you deserved an explanation right away , and patrick was so shocked by seeing me , he was just -- you know , he could n't move . sabrina : well , i 'm sure he thought that you would [ chuckles ] disappear again if he -- if he blinked . robin : something like that . that 's why i told him to go talk to you . sabrina : well , thank you for doing that . robin : of course . i know that he had to talk to you . it was the right thing to do , but what i did n't expect was what happened when he came back after he talked to you . sabrina : what did you expect ? robin : well , i expected to go home with him . [ chuckling ] i mean -- but that 's not what happened . sabrina : wait , so , you did n't go home with patrick and emma ? robin : no . patrick asked me to , but i said `` no `` because he told me that he did not break things off with you . sabrina , i know that i have no right to ask you this , but ... sabrina : what ? robin : i need you to help me get my husband back . scott : let me get this straight . you admit that you had hatred for the victim ? michael : just say `` yes , `` `` no , `` or `` i do n't know . `` scott : mr. quartermaine , do you admit that you had hatred for the victim ? aj : yes , i do . scott : and do you admit that , likewise , you thought that by getting rid of her , the pain would go away ? aj : yes . scott : and you admit that you deliberately retrieved the murder weapon from the safe in your house with the express intent of killing the victim ? aj : yes . scott : but you do n't remember killing the victim ? aj : no . not at all . scott : how convenient . no further questions . judge chua : mr. quartermaine , since you 're representing yourself , will you be calling any other witnesses in your own defense ? aj : no , your honor . judge chua : so , the defense rests ? aj : yes , your honor . the defense rests . judge chua : you may step down . we 're ready to hear closing arguments . mr. quartermaine , the defense goes first . aj : uh , your honor , would it be possible just to skip it ? i just -- i believe i 've said everything that i need to say . judge chua : you may . aj : thank you . judge chua : mr. baldwin , proceed . franco : mother ? mother ? can you hear me ? [ sighs ] i told you . i told you to stay away from carly . [ sighs ] oh . what have i done ? what have i done ? [ water stops ] franco : carly ca n't know . carly can never find out . she 'll think i 'm still a psycho . [ grunts ] [ grunts ] [ sighs ] spinelli : why would you want me to take the baby to portland ? how could -- how could you bear her being so far away ? maxie : what i ca n't bear is her being so close . she 's across town , and i ca n't see her . it -- it 's killing me . i ca n't keep myself away from her . i ca n't . spinelli : you can , and you will . maxie : no , spinelli . it 's -- it 's too hard . and eventually , you 're gon na let me see her . you 'll let me hold her for a minute or two , which will turn into five minutes . and then the next time , maybe 10 minutes until , what , we get caught ? and then i go to jail ? spinelli : maxie , you 're not gon na go to jail . i 'll do everything in my power to keep you from her , no matter how heartless i have to be . maxie : i think that we all know heartless is not in your playbook . and once i go to jail , they 'll take the baby away from you . and then she 'll wind up without either one of us . spinelli : no . that 's not gon na happen . maxie : you 're right . it 's not . because you and ellie are gon na go to portland . and you 're gon na take the baby with you . and i do n't have to deal with the constant temptation , the constant ache that is pulling my heart towards hers . spinelli : you 're asking me to separate you from your daughter by thousands of miles . maxie : you would be doing me a favor . we 'll all be better off , spinelli , especially our daughter . epiphany : i 'm sorry to say that , uh , i did n't think this was gon na be an easy decision for you . patrick : [ chuckles ] epiphany , if somebody would have told me that i would n't wrap my arms around robin and take her home with me and never let her go if i ever saw her again , i would say that they 're absolutely crazy . epiphany : [ chuckles ] patrick : i love robin . but sabrina and i -- we -- we built something , something special . epiphany : you have . patrick : and i love sabrina . and it does n't just go away . but i love robin , too . sabrina : what , exactly , are you asking me to do ? robin : patrick is confused . i mean , who can blame him ? he thought i was dead for the last two years . and i had also left him a dvd telling him that i wanted him to move on if anything were to happen to me . and -- and i am so glad that he found you . i really am . i - i appreciate that he had that time with you . but i 'm back now . i 'm his wife . he is my husband , and emma is my daughter . and i want them back . so , i 'm asking you to make that decision for patrick and , please , just -- just let him go . spinelli : you know , we appreciate that you 're willing to do this for us . ellie : yeah , it really is beyond generous . spinelli : but , you know , the court is revisiting the custody issue in six months . perhaps they 'll rule in your favor . maxie : there is no guarantee that the judge is gon na find me fit . and i know if the baby stays in port charles , i will screw up between now and then and completely blow it . spinelli : no . you wo n't . you 'll walk the straight and narrow because your status as a mother depends on it . maxie : spinelli , that is just like you to have too much faith in me . and it used to be that when i screwed up , only you and i got hurt . now we have our daughter to think about . she has to come first . spinelli : i mean , that 's proof , in and of itself , that you 're a good mother , maxie . maxie : that 's very sweet of you to say ... but i kind of -- i deserve this . i was supposed to be a surrogate for dante and lulu , not give myself a baby . i do n't deserve one . spinelli : so , you 're saying the judge is right ? maxie : i 'm saying that i lied to you about our child . ellie : hey , i lied , too . maxie : only because i manipulated you . ellie : no . maxie , i made the decision to keep your secret . maxie : ellie , i played on your insecurities about spinelli . i mean , you two almost lost each other because of me . and i 'm not gon na let that happen again . i will not be the reason that you turn down your dream job . and i wo n't be the reason that spinelli does n't go with you , where he belongs . spinelli : but what about our daughter ? could you really let her go ? maxie : i love her so much it hurts . i love her so much that i ca n't stand to be the reason she stays here and risks losing both of us . so please promise me that you will go . epiphany : i wish i knew what to tell you , drake jr . patrick : i finally found a place where i could tuck away my love for robin -- like , a safe place where i could still feel it , but i also accepted the fact that i was never gon na share that love with her again , and when i did that , there was , like , this new pure wave of love that came flooding in for sabrina , and , i mean , we 're standing at the altar . we 're exchanging rings , and then ... epiphany : your wife comes home . patrick : i do n't know what to do . and i know that 's wrong and it 's selfish and i 'm letting them both hang there , and so , i mean , what does that say ? epiphany : it says you 're human . sabrina : you 're asking me to let patrick go ? robin : i know it 's not fair . sabrina : well , that 's not -- that 's not the point . i mean , this -- this is n't my decision to make . it 's patrick 's . he said that he needed time . robin : oh , come on . we 're talking about patrick here . patrick does n't want to hurt anyone . he especially does n't want to hurt you . you helped him through his grief . you helped emma with everything . you respected him until he was , you know , ready to move on . just make it easy for him . you can help him . sabrina : how am i supposed to help him ? robin : by making the decision for him . tell him . tell him that he 's my husband and that he belongs with me and now that i 'm back , you wo n't come between him and his family . he needs to know that you 're okay with that . sabrina : this is just -- it 's a lot . it 's a lot to process , robin . [ sighs ] robin : i 'm his wife , sabrina . i gave him that push to go to you yesterday . i 'm asking for you to do the same . you say that you love patrick . sabrina : i do love him . robin : then do this for him . be the strong one and make things right for all of us . carlos : oh , seriously , guys ? a cemetery ? you could n't think of something more subtle , like a horse 's head in my bed ? shawn : shut up . carlos : seriously , what are we doing here ? sonny : what are we doing here ? julian jerome have a stunod working for him ? shawn : it looks like . sonny : you know exactly what we 're doing here . julian needs to know that he ca n't mess with me and get away with it . shawn : you see , we need to , you know , send a message . looks like you drew the short straw . sonny : we ca n't go after julian because danny morgan might need his bone marrow . shawn : no . we got to put the baby first , right ? sonny : and i promised kiki that i would n't hurt her mother . so that leaves you , rivera . carlos : do it . do it . shoot me . get it over with . shoot me . scott : excellent closing argument , aj . aj : you know what ? you go to hell , baldwin . scott : no , i mean it . you made my job a lot easier , as well as the jury 's . kiki : do n't listen to that jerk . aj : it does n't matter whether i listen to him or not . baldwin 's right , and so is diane . i - i torpedoed my case . kiki : no , you do n't know that . aj : yeah , i - i do . but , i mean , you know , i had to tell the jury in my own words . i 'm sorry , michael . michael : you have nothing to apologize for . i mean , you getting up there , saying what you did -- that took a lot of guts . i do n't care what scott or anyone else has to say . look , that was amazing . aj : i could n't have done it without -- without you and kiki being here . and , you know , it does n't matter if the jury finds me guilty , because i 'll be okay because i 've got you on my side . franco : what have you done , mother ? hmm ? i told you not to go after carly . i told you , mother or not , i 'd kill you . you would n't listen . why ? you made me do this . was it part of a bigger plan , huh ? you get me to kill you and then carly figures out that i 'm the same psycho that i 've always been ? is that it ? night , mother . [ cell phone ringing ] [ ringing stops ] diane : franco ? what are you doing ? spinelli : i have -- i have to go . mercedes said she could only watch the baby for a couple of hours . um , ellie , perhaps you could come with me so we can discuss this further ? ellie : yeah . that 's a good idea . you 've given us a lot to think about . spinelli : and , maxie , though we appreciate the magnanimity of your offer , i - i urge you to think through this . maxie : i 'm not gon na change my mind . spinelli : look , you say that now , but -- maxie : no . i - i can tell that this is the right decision . for the first time in a long time , i - i feel better , like i 'm actually not gon na screw things up for our baby .

nicole : it 's brady . eric : what about brady ? i hate to be the bearer of bad news , but he and your cousin theresa are back together , and they were celebrating with a few mimosas for breakfast . eric : yeah , that is bad news , but it 's not totally unexpected . is that really what 's got you upset ? nicole : yeah , of course . daniel and i are worried about brady , are n't you ? eric : of course i am . he 's my brother . but , daniel , you 're not saying anything , which leads me to believe that it is n't just about brady and theresa . so what 's going on ? why are you both so upset ? maggie : the nick that i wan na memorialize ... is someone that , i do n't know , most people never met . you know what i keep thinking ? i keep -- keep thinking about that sweet , shy little boy who used to visit us and spend summers together . he 'd rewire mickey 's ham radio , and he 'd -- he 'd help me finish the sunday crossword puzzle . i told him he was gon na have a brilliant future , and he should have too . jennifer : i know , aunt maggie , i know . i 'm gon na get you some more water , okay ? you stay right here , okay ? maggie : oh , my . oh . [ laughs ] sonny : gabi , i 'm sorry . i did n't mean to upset you . gabi : do n't apologize . look , ever since nick died , everyone 's been tiptoeing around and acting like they have to be sensitive with everything that they say . and everyone 's acting like i 'm going crazy , and that 's making me crazy ! [ sighs ] sonny : okay , i hear you . gabi : will 's grandmother -- she was here , checking up on me . but at least she was direct about it , you know ? sonny : well , did that help ? [ knocking on door ] gabi : yeah , actually , it did . i thought it was gon na be really hard to talk about nick , but what i ca n't handle is people being so sensitive with me . kate : gabi , it 's time we get some things straight . sonny : well , looks like your wish came true . ej : look , if you 're talking about william , you ca n't really think that he would be capable of ... sami : shooting someone ? i ca n't forget what he did to you . ej : [ grunts ] listen to me . he 's a different person now . he 's an adult . he 's a father . sami : he 's desperate . he was desperate then , and he 's desperate now . ej : i think you need to have a little more confidence in your son , samantha . sami : do n't misunderstand me . i do have confidence in my son . i have confidence that he would do anything for his daughter . anything . and nick gave him every reason in the world to want him dead . will : i 'm not gon na lie to you , dad . it 's been a huge relief having nick out of our lives . but ... lucas : but what ? will : when i was shot ... lucas : which was nick 's fault . let 's not forget that , okay ? will : they put me on those painkillers , and it really messed with my head . they sent me home from the hospital with , like , a jar full of them , and it would have been so easy to just keep taking them . lucas : right , but you did n't . will : well , i remember what happened to nick when he got hooked . and then him having to detox in prison . and that guy jensen -- and everything that happened , i mean ... it must have sent him over the edge , and i 'm surprised it did n't happen sooner . [ sighs ] you saved me , dad . lucas : i did ? what do you mean ? will : if i had done my time , like nick , if i had gone to prison for shooting ej , i mean , who knows what kind of hell that would have been for me , what kind of life i would have ? i owe you . so , so much . daniel : i am very concerned for brady . but when you came in , nicole and i were discussing something else . nicole : the shooting on the island . and , daniel , you know i never would have forgiven myself if you were badly hurt . eric : listen , i thought you all worked through that . nicole : i know , i know . it 's just -- i still feel terribly guilty . eric : okay , that 's got to stop , and i 'm sure that daniel would agree . i mean , he 's okay , he 's fine , and it was an accident . nicole : i know . i know , but if daniel -- if i was somehow responsible for really hurting him ... daniel : okay , i really do n't want to keep going over the past , nicole . it 's the present that i 'm concerned with . eric : and i am also concerned with the present . so in the interest of staying in the present -- actually , i should have spoken to nicole first about this , but i 'm sure she 'll approve . nicole : approve of what ? eric : daniel , will you do me the honor of being my best man ? daniel : i - i do n't know what to say . nicole : actually , i do n't approve because , um , i was gon na ask daniel to be my best man . eric : you -- you were ? nicole : yes . it would be wonderful to have a maid of honor , but the best friend i 've ever had is daniel . and the person i want standing beside me is someone who 's always wanted what 's best for me and would do absolutely anything to support me . eric : i - i guess i can take jennifer as my best person . nicole : [ laughs ] eric : or -- or best couple . how about that ? what do you think ? nicole : yeah , yes . i mean , as long as we 're married , that 's all that matters to me . eric : i 'm glad we can both agree that we want daniel on our big day . i mean , if it was n't for the two of you , we would n't even be here right now . daniel : yeah , i - i need a refill . excuse me . eric : what 's wrong with daniel ? i mean , he seems so distant , tense . you have any idea what 's wrong ? ej : samantha , you saw william after the shooting . now , if he 'd pulled the trigger , do you really think that he could hide that from you ? of course not . he 'd be in shock . sami : well , i thought he was in shock . of course , i also thought that your man had done the job . sorry . the point is , the police are gon na start investigating . when they find out everything that nick was up to , they 're gon na be all over will . [ whispering ] what if they find out that he did shoot you ? ej : how can they ? that secret went to the grave with fallon . sami : okay , then who else ? who else wanted nick dead ? ej : i do n't know , besides the countless enemies that nick had in salem ? think of all the enemies he had in prison . men who have a lot less compunction when it comes to committing murder , as jensen taught us . sami : okay . ej : okay ? sami : you 're -- you 're right . ej : okay , listen . i will keep tabs on the investigation , okay ? you just keep out of it . do you understand what i mean ? i mean stay out of trouble , trouble . okay , i have a meeting to get to . i will be back as quickly as i possibly can . sami : mm . [ chuckles ] [ sighs ] kate : you know , the police are going to want to talk to you . have you given any thought to what you 're going to say ? gabi : i do n't have anything to hide . kate : no , no , no . 'cause now that nick is actually dead , we need to get things straight about the last time he died . lucas : sometimes it seems like nick was dealt a lousy hand , but it does n't justify what he did . will : i know , i know . lucas : do n't ever forget that . do n't ever let yourself forget that , all right ? he was evil . and he was a nasty s.o.b . will : d - dad , are you suggesting that nick got what he deserved ? [ cell phone rings ] nicole : i think daniel 's fine . eric : okay . daniel 's just acting downright morose . he 's not acting like himself at all . nicole : well , you know daniel does n't like to be the center of attention , and he said he did n't wan na talk about the shooting . so i wan na respect that . let 's just consider this subject closed , okay ? eric : [ sighs ] nicole : so ... eric : yeah . nicole : dare i ask how things went with your mother ? eric : well , it went well . nicole : yeah , right . eric : [ laughs ] no , honestly . she did n't say anything negative about you , about us . nicole : mm - hmm . but i bet she did n't congratulate us either . eric : yeah , we 'll get there . nicole : i 'm glad you talked to her . eric : now wish me luck telling sami . nicole : oh , dear god , sami . [ chuckles ] you know , if you 're gon na tell sami now , i could go with you . daniel : well , you know , i got a text from work , so i need to go in a little while . nicole : oh , that 's too bad . daniel : yeah , but i really want to finish our conversation , nicole . do you mind giving me a ride back to my apartment ? nicole : well , eric and i were gon na go over to -- eric : oh , you know what ? that 's fine . you know what ? i think it 's better if i talk to sami alone . nicole : oh . daniel : well , no , i mean , if that 's a problem , we could actually have the conversation right here . yeah , in front of eric . i think that would probably be -- nicole : no . no , eric 's -- eric 's right . good luck . i love you . i 'll see you later . eric : okay . nicole : okay ? all right , let 's go . daniel : all right , bye . eric : bye . lucas : i 'm not saying that anyone deserves to be murdered . i 'm just saying , you know , i 'm not surprised by it . will : no ? lucas : no . no , i 'm not . you know how nick was . he had a talent for pushing people to their limits and beyond -- even people he cared about -- so i guess somebody just got sick of it . will : i 'm sorry i ca n't stay longer . ej 's coming over . we 're gon na finish up this custody agreement . lucas : okay , i really hope everything goes well today . will : i think it will . lucas : and , hey , if you need anything ... you know , you want to talk about anything , anything at all , you know i 'm here for you , right ? will : i know . same goes for you , dad . lucas : all right . well , i am real proud of you . you hear me ? will : i hear you . lucas : bye . sonny : kate , why are you bringing that up now ? kate : because gabi has a history of unfortunate blurts . and when the police are questioning her , we do n't want the next words out of her mouth to be `` kate and sami and i murdered nick . and then we threw him in the river , but then he came back . and he blackmailed us , thus giving us a perfect murder motive . `` gabi : why would i bring up any of that ? kate : because -- because when you 're under pressure , those are the kinds of things that you do ! gabi : you know , i think i 've handled pressure pretty well . kate : yes , sweetie , you have . you definitely have . i just wan na make sure . gabi : that i do n't ruin things for you and sami ? well , guess what . now that nick is out of my life , no one is gon na push me around . not you , not sami , not anyone else . arianna : [ cries ] gabi : excuse me . kate : what did i say ? sonny : [ sighs ] i mean , you know how she was talking about handling pressure . kate : yeah -- not . i 'm just gon na apologize to her about ... sonny : no . kate : stating the obvious . sonny : no , no , no , no , no . do n't try to fix things when she 's in this kind of mood . usually has the opposite effect . let 's wait till she calms down , and i will talk to her later , okay ? kate : thank you . sonny : mm - hmm . kate : but you know i 'm right . she needs to keep her mouth shut . [ door closes ] sonny : just when i thought nick was out of the picture things would get easier . sami : it 's so good to see you . eric : i 've been worried about you . sami : oh , do n't be . [ chuckles ] eric : well , and allie ? i mean , mom says she 's doing better . sami : she is . well , you know , she 's seeing a therapist that mom recommended . eric : right . sami : and she 's having nightmares , but the therapist said that 's to be expected . eric : i guess it 's just a matter of time . sami : yeah , i hope so . eric : sami , you know if there 's anything that i can do for you ... sami : that you 'll be there for me ? yes , i know that . you did n't come all the way down here to tell me that , though . eric : there is actually something i wanted to tell you . sami : please , please just break it to me gently , okay ? i ca n't take any more bad news . eric : no , no , no . actually , it 's good news , and i hope you 'll be happy for me . sami : why ? eric : nicole and i are getting married as soon as we possibly can . sami : have you completely lost your mind ? jennifer : victor , hi . victor : oh , jennifer . jennifer : i did n't mean to interrupt . victor : oh , not at all . it 's good to see you . and thank you for taking such good care of maggie . jennifer : are you kidding me ? aunt maggie is usually the one taking care of all of us . victor : [ chuckles ] that 's very true . maggie : thank you . jennifer : listen , since you 're home , i should really get going . victor : but before you go , i just wan na say how glad i am that you and daniel have worked things out and that everyone 's all right after that terrible incident at smith island . jennifer : oh , i am just so grateful that daniel is okay . victor : leave it to nicole to shoot the one true friend she 's ever had . and my godson is going to have to learn the hard way : no good deed ever goes unpunished . jennifer : daniel sees the good in nicole . victor : there 's none to see . maggie : victor . jennifer : i used to feel the same way . i trust daniel 's judgment . maggie : you know i 'm not exactly nicole 's biggest fan , but what does it matter ? the important thing is that daniel and jennifer are together now , and they 're gon na be blissfully happy . jennifer : yes , that is right . maggie : [ laughs ] jennifer : thank you , aunt maggie . maggie : oh , i love you . jennifer : i love you so much . and please call me if you need anything at all . maggie : i will . and thank you for coming . come on . jennifer : please . bye , victor . victor : bye - bye . maggie : okay , see you later . jennifer : okay . [ door closes ] victor : is there anything i can do to help track down the guy that did this to nick ? maggie : i appreciate that . victor : the police have any leads ? maggie : no . not that i know of . victor : well , i 'm sure that hope will be quick to check this time whether or not any of nick 's compatriots from statesville have been released recently . maggie : well , i 'm sure she has . but i ... victor : what ? maggie : i hate to even say this , but i would n't be surprised if whoever killed nick was someone he knew . someone that we all know . ej : oh , hello , william . i was just on my way to your apartment . i have the custody papers to go over with you all unless -- unless you want to look at them here first . will : [ sighs ] no . gabi and i are finally on the same page , and i do n't want her to think that i 'm going behind her back . i 'm sure that you came up with a very fair agreement . ej : as fair as one can be , i think , yeah . will : terrific . ej : okay , well , shall we ? gabi : kate 's gone ? sonny : yeah . gabi , you know she 's just trying to help , right ? gabi : wait , you 're talking about kate ? help herself , maybe . sonny : maybe . but she cares about you . she really does . she just sort of ... gabi : has a unique way of showing it , is that it ? sonny : yeah . gabi : [ chuckles ] will : hey . gabi : hi . ej : gabi , did you get my message ? gabi : i did . ej : i bumped into william in the town square , and i offered to go through the contract with him first , but he was very keen that we all share it together . gabi : oh , i agree . from now on , we should do everything together when it comes to our daughter . kate : ah . finally you deign to grace me with your presence . lucas : why are you so worried about the fall line ? i told you it was all good ... kate : believe me , right now , i could give a damn about the fall line . lucas : you just told me you were worried about it . kate : because i was afraid that your phone or my phone might be bugged . lucas : why would my phone be bugged ? kate : oh . because it 's most likely the police think you killed nick . lucas : that 's crazy . kate : is it ? because i think it too . eric : sami , if you can not be happy for nicole -- sami : happy ? happy ? you want me to be happy ? i just stood there and begged you not to give me bad news because i really can not take it today , and you tell me that you are marrying a woman who has done nothing but cause me misery ! eric : and i 'm -- sami : i mean , she 's tortured me ! how could you do this to me ? eric : sami , i 'm not doing anything to you . sami : what happened to loyalty to your twin ? eric : and how about loyalty to nicole ? she was willing to give up everything for me ... sami : [ laughs ] eric : even her life . sami : well , too bad that did n't work out . eric : sami . sami : do n't even start with me , okay ? nicole is nothing but a narcissistic , selfish , greedy bitch . i ca n't believe you 're thinking about marrying her ! i mean , she is ... she is a terrible human being , and she only does things that she wants to help herself , and that 's why she did it for you . she helped you because it helps her ! eric : sami , stop . stop it . sami : do n't even -- i 'm not done yet ! she 's lying and manipulative ! she 's a horrible human being ! eric : has that ever been said about you , sami ? you do n't see me standing here tearing into ej , even after what he did . sami : well , ej has changed . nicole has n't , and she never will . eric : she has . and i love her . sami : well , i 'm sorry to hear that . i 'm more sorry that i do n't have the time or the energy to rescue you right now ! i ca n't save you from destroying your life ! eric : that 's good . because there 's nothing that you could do that would ever come between us . daniel : why , why , why are you doing this ? nicole : you know why . daniel : why are you compounding these lies when you know you 're just making it harder ? if you had just taken eric somewhere and told him the truth , and then maybe he would start thinking you 're honest , and he would give you ... nicole : i wanted to , i really did , but you see how happy eric is . do you really wan na be the one who destroys his life ? daniel : uh , nicole , no . the only one destroying anything is you . the longer you wait to tell him the truth , it 's gon na get worse . have you not learned that yet ? nicole : but , daniel -- daniel : no , no , no . i know you think you can change my mind if you plead and you beg long enough . but you ca n't , 'cause what you 're doing is wrong ! it 's wrong , and it has to stop right now . you did it ! nicole : i hate lying to eric . and i hate that you 're involved , daniel , but i do n't know what else to do . daniel : there is only one thing you can do . nicole : eric and i are happy . and you can see that . and after everything we 've been through ? all right , fine . maybe i do n't deserve it , but he sure as hell does . he loves me . he chose me . daniel : because he does n't think he has another choice . he 's convinced he could never be a priest again . okay , look , i have no doubt that he loves you , nicole . but his calling , his vocation , it is his life . i ca n't know what he would have done if he had seen chyka 's evidence to clear his name . but keeping it from him ? you robbed him of that chance . this whole relationship is based on a lie . and it has to be made right , and i want so much for you to make it right . but i 'll tell you what . if you ca n't -- nicole : you will , i get it . daniel : you 're damn right i will ! nicole : stop threatening me with that ! this is my life too . this is about my dreams coming true , so could you please just leave it alone ? ca n't you just -- just this once , just turn your head ? victor : why would you think we 'd know the person who murdered nick ? maggie : i do n't have enough fingers to count the number of people who despised nick . before nick died , he tried to reinsinuate himself in gabi 's life . victor : well , he certainly was tenacious . maggie : when will suggested that he and gabi get a written custody agreement , nick encouraged gabi or her lawyer to ask for the moon . victor : [ chuckles ] oh , i can imagine how kate responded to that . maggie : and will and sonny and sami . [ cell phone rings ] maggie : oh . it 's julie . she 's making the funeral arrangements . excuse me . hi , julie . victor : may we rest in peace , knowing that he 's rotting in hell . lucas : what 's the matter with you ? how could you accuse me of that ? kate : all right , all right . a simple yes or no will do . lucas : well , it 's good to know that the police have a higher opinion of me than my own mother does . kate : [ laughs ] well , actually , i think you did the world a tremendous favor , so ... lucas : all right , why do you think it was me ? i mean , do you have any idea how many people in this town wanted nick fallon wiped off the face of the earth ? kate : yes , i do , and you were at the top of the list . ej : so as you can see , it really is all perfectly straightforward . will : right . gabi : okay , but i do wan na make sure that if anything happened to one of us , god forbid -- ej : oh , right , absolutely . that 's covered , um -- here we go . so if you were to predecease william , then the custody would revert to him , and if the reverse were to happen , then the custody would revert to you . gabi : wait a minute . sonny : what ? gabi : i 'm sorry , i have a problem with that . eric : i do n't even want to hear this , sami . nicole saved jennifer from being killed by that lunatic liam frazer ! sami : wait , did n't she almost get daniel killed in the process ? eric : both she and daniel could have been killed when they went after chyka . meanwhile , your fiancé , he did n't even raise his finger to try and find his own sister ! he could have given me my life back , but he did n't even try ! sami : you want your life back , you stay away from nicole walker , okay ? just stay away from her ! do i have to remind you of everything that she has done to me ? eric : do i have to remind you of everything you 've done to her ? i guess it was just too much to expect a little smile on your face for my sake . sami : wait a second . everything i am saying is for your sake . eric : yeah , right . you know what ? i do n't need my family 's support . thank god i actually have friends who want me to be happy . sami : you know who you sound like ? brady , and we all know how that turned out . eric : yeah , well , i 'll tell you what . you worry about your own wedding , sami , and i 'll worry about mine . daniel : so you expect me to just turn my head and look the other way , like it 's just some minor glitch ? like it 's no big deal ? nicole : is n't eric 's happiness a big deal and mine ? daniel , i have been waiting my whole life for a man like eric . daniel : and do you think that he 's been waiting his whole life to be lied to by the woman he loves ? you were so determined to help him . you were willing to put your own self - interest away because it 's what you wanted for eric . you wanted it to be eric 's choice . and then what ? i mean , what happened ? eric is n't the only one you hurt . jennifer nearly died . she was almost killed on smith island because you did n't come forward with what you knew . you were so desperate to hide the truth that you tried to kill liam . you almost killed me instead . nicole : i knew you really did n't forgive me for that . daniel : okay , nicole , i mean what i say . but i am so sick of you changing the subject ... [ groans ] look , you need to do what is right . i am your friend , nicole , but i 'm also eric 's . and he has a right to know what you 've done . and he still may see his options . but i guarantee you , one way or another , he will know . nicole : fine . i will find eric , and i will tell him the truth . daniel : for real this time ? eric , yeah , it 's daniel . can you call me after you 've spoken with nicole ? nicole : you bastard . now you 're just hurting me . daniel : no . you 're hurting yourself . nicole : you 're right . i need to do this , and i will . just give me some time to pull myself together . [ sobs ] sami : [ sighs ] god , i just ca n't believe my brother is gon na marry that ... [ cell phone rings ] sami : samantha brady . oh , yes . i 'll be by to pick that up myself . thanks . will : what 's wrong ? gabi : well , if something happened to me , of course i want will to have custody , but i 'd also like for my brother to get to see his niece . and i want that in writing . will : not a problem . ej : okay , i can take care of that . is there anything else ? gabi : uh , yeah . i do n't see anything in there about sonny 's rights . ej : that 's because sonny does n't have any legal rights . gabi : well , what if something were to happen to me and will ? i wan na make it clear that arianna grace should continue living with sonny if -- if that 's what he wants . sonny : of course that 's -- that 's what i would want . i just hope that that would never happen , where you -- gabi : it 's just in case . i wan na make it clear that you 're her other daddy . look , you 've been a part of our daughter 's life from her very first breath , and i just wan na protect your rights . ej : you know , i really do n't think this agreement is the right place for a stipulation like that , but how about you leave it with me ? i 'll find a way to get it in there somehow . sonny : thank you . will : yes . thank you . lucas : i 'm at the top of the list -- me ? how do you figure that ? kate : because i know that you were upset when i told you about the custody hearing , that nick was planning on getting gabi to shut will and the rest of us out of ari 's life . lucas : i would never do that , mom . kate : you just need to drop the act , okay ? my gun is missing . you 're the only one who could 've taken it , and there 's only one reason that you would do that . daniel : [ groans ] jennifer : hey . daniel : hey . i ... jennifer : you wan na tell me what 's going on ? daniel : i just spilled my coffee . jennifer : no , that 's not what i 'm talking about . i just saw nicole speed away about a minute ago , and you are upset again . so whatever is going on between the two of you , it has got you completely on edge . i wan na know what it is . tell me . please . nicole : hey . eric : hi . nicole : things did n't go well with sami ? eric : no , they did n't . you do n't look so happy yourself . nicole : it 's just -- i 've been giving something a lot of thought , and there 's only one way to do this , and it 's just to say it out loud . eric : okay , say what ? nicole : we need to elope .
sami told ej that they had to figure out who killed nick since the hit man did n't do it . lucas met with will to talk about nick being dead . daniel warned nicole to tell eric the truth or he would . eric came over and wanted to know what was going on between them . sami was afraid someone they loved was going to go to prison . lucas asked will how he felt about nick 's death . nicole lied to eric and told him that brady and theresa were back together . eric was suspicious that daniel did n't say anything and wanted to know what was going on . kate wanted to talk to gabi about nick . ej thought sami suspected will of killing nick . sami did think will shot nick . daniel tried to tell eric the truth , but nicole kept changing the subject . eric asked daniel to be his best man . nicole said she wanted daniel to be her best man . when daniel walked off , eric wanted to know what was going on . kate wanted to get things straight with gabi about the night nick died . lucas and will continued to talk about nick being dead .
<s>[INST] maggie : julie is accompanying nick 's body back east . she offered to stay with jessica and marie for a little while . jennifer : oh , that 's good . i 'm sure they 'll appreciate that . i was really hoping we could have some sort of memorial for nick here in salem . i mean , just something small . you know , we could do it at gram 's . maggie : yeah . yeah , i suppose we could . after everything that nick has done , though , i 'm not sure that anyone would come . kate : no , we can not postpone the meeting again . i need to know that we 're on target with the new fall line . lucas : i got it all covered . do n't worry about it . kate : [ sighs ] where do you wan na meet ? lucas : i do n't know . i 'll text you when i 'm free , all right ? kate : it 's not locked . i know you took that gun , lucas , and i 'm gon na deal with you . but first things first . ej : hey . is allie all right ? sami : oh , yeah . actually , she wanted to tell me that she wants to go back to school tomorrow . ej : mm , well , i think it would probably be a good thing for her to get back into her normal routine . sami : ej ... none of this is normal . you know that , right ? we have to talk about this . it was n't our guy who ... got to nick . we have to figure out who did . lucas : thanks for coming . will : sure . what 's up ? lucas : well , we really have n't really talked since , you know , nick was ... will : murdered . it 's okay , dad . you can say it . wait . is this what you wanted to talk about ? lucas : yeah . will : why ? i mean , what is there to say ? lucas : you tell me . sonny : ari 's sleeping already ? gabi : yeah , she was exhausted . sonny : oh , well , i 'm sure you are as well . and starving . you did n't have any breakfast . here . gabi : oh , you do n't have to do that . sonny : no , really . you have to eat something . you have to eat something . by the way , ej called , left a message . he 's gon na come over with that new joint custody agreement so that you and will can look over it . i hope that 's okay . i said he can come . gabi : would you just stop ? daniel : nicole , you know i care about you very much . and that 's why i think it is so important for you to tell eric the truth . nicole : and if i wo n't ? daniel : you know the answer to that . if you wo n't do it , i will . nicole : eric . eric : hey . well , here we are again , you two looking like you just lost your best friend . what 's going on ? why do you both look so upset ? ej : please . why should we care who killed nick ? the only thing that matters is he 's gone . sami : [ whispering ] ej . ej : now that we know that we do n't have blood on our hands , we do n't have to beat ourselves up over allie 's trauma . sami : ej , you paid that guy . you gave him money . we were gon na have him -- ej : what exactly would you want me to do , hmm ? nick brought that upon himself . would you rather that he was running around , making threats every other day against you and gabi and kate ... sami : no , of course not . ej : and everybody else ? would you rather that he was preparing his court case ? you have to sit there with your mouth shut , in front of the judge while he orders william 's visitation down to every other weekend ? sami : no . ej : no . sami : of course not . ej : exactly . sami : but i thought that that was the worst thing that could happen . and now , i 'm afraid that -- ej : what are you afraid of , hmm ? sami : i 'm afraid that someone we love is gon na spend the rest of their life in prison for killing nick . will : dad , i do n't know what you want me to say . lucas : should n't you be getting ready for your custody hearing ? will : gabi cancelled it . she 's letting ej draw up the agreement . lucas : i thought ej was representing you . will : he is . gabi just wanted the whole thing over with . something simple and fair , which is what i wanted all along . lucas : well , good . then i 'm happy . how 's gabi doing ? will : i think she 's still in shock over nick being dead . i mean , they had such a complicated relationship . lucas : yeah . yeah , a lot of people could say the same thing . how do you feel about nick 's death ? nicole : it 's brady . eric : what about brady ? i hate to be the bearer of bad news , but he and your cousin theresa are back together , and they were celebrating with a few mimosas for breakfast . eric : yeah , that is bad news , but it 's not totally unexpected . is that really what 's got you upset ? nicole : yeah , of course . daniel and i are worried about brady , are n't you ? eric : of course i am . he 's my brother . but , daniel , you 're not saying anything , which leads me to believe that it is n't just about brady and theresa . so what 's going on ? why are you both so upset ? maggie : the nick that i wan na memorialize ... is someone that , i do n't know , most people never met . you know what i keep thinking ? i keep -- keep thinking about that sweet , shy little boy who used to visit us and spend summers together . he 'd rewire mickey 's ham radio , and he 'd -- he 'd help me finish the sunday crossword puzzle . i told him he was gon na have a brilliant future , and he should have too . jennifer : i know , aunt maggie , i know . i 'm gon na get you some more water , okay ? you stay right here , okay ? maggie : oh , my . oh . [ laughs ] sonny : gabi , i 'm sorry . i did n't mean to upset you . gabi : do n't apologize . look , ever since nick died , everyone 's been tiptoeing around and acting like they have to be sensitive with everything that they say . and everyone 's acting like i 'm going crazy , and that 's making me crazy ! [ sighs ] sonny : okay , i hear you . gabi : will 's grandmother -- she was here , checking up on me . but at least she was direct about it , you know ? sonny : well , did that help ? [ knocking on door ] gabi : yeah , actually , it did . i thought it was gon na be really hard to talk about nick , but what i ca n't handle is people being so sensitive with me . kate : gabi , it 's time we get some things straight . sonny : well , looks like your wish came true . ej : look , if you 're talking about william , you ca n't really think that he would be capable of ... sami : shooting someone ? i ca n't forget what he did to you . ej : [ grunts ] listen to me . he 's a different person now . he 's an adult . he 's a father . sami : he 's desperate . he was desperate then , and he 's desperate now . ej : i think you need to have a little more confidence in your son , samantha . sami : do n't misunderstand me . i do have confidence in my son . i have confidence that he would do anything for his daughter . anything . and nick gave him every reason in the world to want him dead . will : i 'm not gon na lie to you , dad . it 's been a huge relief having nick out of our lives . but ... lucas : but what ? will : when i was shot ... lucas : which was nick 's fault . let 's not forget that , okay ? will : they put me on those painkillers , and it really messed with my head . they sent me home from the hospital with , like , a jar full of them , and it would have been so easy to just keep taking them . lucas : right , but you did n't . will : well , i remember what happened to nick when he got hooked . and then him having to detox in prison . and that guy jensen -- and everything that happened , i mean ... it must have sent him over the edge , and i 'm surprised it did n't happen sooner . [ sighs ] you saved me , dad . lucas : i did ? what do you mean ? will : if i had done my time , like nick , if i had gone to prison for shooting ej , i mean , who knows what kind of hell that would have been for me , what kind of life i would have ? i owe you . so , so much . daniel : i am very concerned for brady . but when you came in , nicole and i were discussing something else . nicole : the shooting on the island . and , daniel , you know i never would have forgiven myself if you were badly hurt . eric : listen , i thought you all worked through that . nicole : i know , i know . it 's just -- i still feel terribly guilty . eric : okay , that 's got to stop , and i 'm sure that daniel would agree . i mean , he 's okay , he 's fine , and it was an accident . nicole : i know . i know , but if daniel -- if i was somehow responsible for really hurting him ... daniel : okay , i really do n't want to keep going over the past , nicole . it 's the present that i 'm concerned with . eric : and i am also concerned with the present . so in the interest of staying in the present -- actually , i should have spoken to nicole first about this , but i 'm sure she 'll approve . nicole : approve of what ? eric : daniel , will you do me the honor of being my best man ? daniel : i - i do n't know what to say . nicole : actually , i do n't approve because , um , i was gon na ask daniel to be my best man . eric : you -- you were ? nicole : yes . it would be wonderful to have a maid of honor , but the best friend i 've ever had is daniel . and the person i want standing beside me is someone who 's always wanted what 's best for me and would do absolutely anything to support me . eric : i - i guess i can take jennifer as my best person . nicole : [ laughs ] eric : or -- or best couple . how about that ? what do you think ? nicole : yeah , yes . i mean , as long as we 're married , that 's all that matters to me . eric : i 'm glad we can both agree that we want daniel on our big day . i mean , if it was n't for the two of you , we would n't even be here right now . daniel : yeah , i - i need a refill . excuse me . eric : what 's wrong with daniel ? i mean , he seems so distant , tense . you have any idea what 's wrong ? ej : samantha , you saw william after the shooting . now , if he 'd pulled the trigger , do you really think that he could hide that from you ? of course not . he 'd be in shock . sami : well , i thought he was in shock . of course , i also thought that your man had done the job . sorry . the point is , the police are gon na start investigating . when they find out everything that nick was up to , they 're gon na be all over will . [ whispering ] what if they find out that he did shoot you ? ej : how can they ? that secret went to the grave with fallon . sami : okay , then who else ? who else wanted nick dead ? ej : i do n't know , besides the countless enemies that nick had in salem ? think of all the enemies he had in prison . men who have a lot less compunction when it comes to committing murder , as jensen taught us . sami : okay . ej : okay ? sami : you 're -- you 're right . ej : okay , listen . i will keep tabs on the investigation , okay ? you just keep out of it . do you understand what i mean ? i mean stay out of trouble , trouble . okay , i have a meeting to get to . i will be back as quickly as i possibly can . sami : mm . [ chuckles ] [ sighs ] kate : you know , the police are going to want to talk to you . have you given any thought to what you 're going to say ? gabi : i do n't have anything to hide . kate : no , no , no . 'cause now that nick is actually dead , we need to get things straight about the last time he died . lucas : sometimes it seems like nick was dealt a lousy hand , but it does n't justify what he did . will : i know , i know . lucas : do n't ever forget that . do n't ever let yourself forget that , all right ? he was evil . and he was a nasty s.o.b . will : d - dad , are you suggesting that nick got what he deserved ? [ cell phone rings ] nicole : i think daniel 's fine . eric : okay . daniel 's just acting downright morose . he 's not acting like himself at all . nicole : well , you know daniel does n't like to be the center of attention , and he said he did n't wan na talk about the shooting . so i wan na respect that . let 's just consider this subject closed , okay ? eric : [ sighs ] nicole : so ... eric : yeah . nicole : dare i ask how things went with your mother ? eric : well , it went well . nicole : yeah , right . eric : [ laughs ] no , honestly . she did n't say anything negative about you , about us . nicole : mm - hmm . but i bet she did n't congratulate us either . eric : yeah , we 'll get there . nicole : i 'm glad you talked to her . eric : now wish me luck telling sami . nicole : oh , dear god , sami . [ chuckles ] you know , if you 're gon na tell sami now , i could go with you . daniel : well , you know , i got a text from work , so i need to go in a little while . nicole : oh , that 's too bad . daniel : yeah , but i really want to finish our conversation , nicole . do you mind giving me a ride back to my apartment ? nicole : well , eric and i were gon na go over to -- eric : oh , you know what ? that 's fine . you know what ? i think it 's better if i talk to sami alone . nicole : oh . daniel : well , no , i mean , if that 's a problem , we could actually have the conversation right here . yeah , in front of eric . i think that would probably be -- nicole : no . no , eric 's -- eric 's right . good luck . i love you . i 'll see you later . eric : okay . nicole : okay ? all right , let 's go . daniel : all right , bye . eric : bye . lucas : i 'm not saying that anyone deserves to be murdered . i 'm just saying , you know , i 'm not surprised by it . will : no ? lucas : no . no , i 'm not . you know how nick was . he had a talent for pushing people to their limits and beyond -- even people he cared about -- so i guess somebody just got sick of it . will : i 'm sorry i ca n't stay longer . ej 's coming over . we 're gon na finish up this custody agreement . lucas : okay , i really hope everything goes well today . will : i think it will . lucas : and , hey , if you need anything ... you know , you want to talk about anything , anything at all , you know i 'm here for you , right ? will : i know . same goes for you , dad . lucas : all right . well , i am real proud of you . you hear me ? will : i hear you . lucas : bye . sonny : kate , why are you bringing that up now ? kate : because gabi has a history of unfortunate blurts . and when the police are questioning her , we do n't want the next words out of her mouth to be `` kate and sami and i murdered nick . and then we threw him in the river , but then he came back . and he blackmailed us , thus giving us a perfect murder motive . `` gabi : why would i bring up any of that ? kate : because -- because when you 're under pressure , those are the kinds of things that you do ! gabi : you know , i think i 've handled pressure pretty well . kate : yes , sweetie , you have . you definitely have . i just wan na make sure . gabi : that i do n't ruin things for you and sami ? well , guess what . now that nick is out of my life , no one is gon na push me around . not you , not sami , not anyone else . arianna : [ cries ] gabi : excuse me . kate : what did i say ? sonny : [ sighs ] i mean , you know how she was talking about handling pressure . kate : yeah -- not . i 'm just gon na apologize to her about ... sonny : no . kate : stating the obvious . sonny : no , no , no , no , no . do n't try to fix things when she 's in this kind of mood . usually has the opposite effect . let 's wait till she calms down , and i will talk to her later , okay ? kate : thank you . sonny : mm - hmm . kate : but you know i 'm right . she needs to keep her mouth shut . [ door closes ] sonny : just when i thought nick was out of the picture things would get easier . sami : it 's so good to see you . eric : i 've been worried about you . sami : oh , do n't be . [ chuckles ] eric : well , and allie ? i mean , mom says she 's doing better . sami : she is . well , you know , she 's seeing a therapist that mom recommended . eric : right . sami : and she 's having nightmares , but the therapist said that 's to be expected . eric : i guess it 's just a matter of time . sami : yeah , i hope so . eric : sami , you know if there 's anything that i can do for you ... sami : that you 'll be there for me ? yes , i know that . you did n't come all the way down here to tell me that , though . eric : there is actually something i wanted to tell you . sami : please , please just break it to me gently , okay ? i ca n't take any more bad news . eric : no , no , no . actually , it 's good news , and i hope you 'll be happy for me . sami : why ? eric : nicole and i are getting married as soon as we possibly can . sami : have you completely lost your mind ? jennifer : victor , hi . victor : oh , jennifer . jennifer : i did n't mean to interrupt . victor : oh , not at all . it 's good to see you . and thank you for taking such good care of maggie . jennifer : are you kidding me ? aunt maggie is usually the one taking care of all of us . victor : [ chuckles ] that 's very true . maggie : thank you . jennifer : listen , since you 're home , i should really get going . victor : but before you go , i just wan na say how glad i am that you and daniel have worked things out and that everyone 's all right after that terrible incident at smith island . jennifer : oh , i am just so grateful that daniel is okay . victor : leave it to nicole to shoot the one true friend she 's ever had . and my godson is going to have to learn the hard way : no good deed ever goes unpunished . jennifer : daniel sees the good in nicole . victor : there 's none to see . maggie : victor . jennifer : i used to feel the same way . i trust daniel 's judgment . maggie : you know i 'm not exactly nicole 's biggest fan , but what does it matter ? the important thing is that daniel and jennifer are together now , and they 're gon na be blissfully happy . jennifer : yes , that is right . maggie : [ laughs ] jennifer : thank you , aunt maggie . maggie : oh , i love you . jennifer : i love you so much . and please call me if you need anything at all . maggie : i will . and thank you for coming . come on . jennifer : please . bye , victor . victor : bye - bye . maggie : okay , see you later . jennifer : okay . [ door closes ] victor : is there anything i can do to help track down the guy that did this to nick ? maggie : i appreciate that . victor : the police have any leads ? maggie : no . not that i know of . victor : well , i 'm sure that hope will be quick to check this time whether or not any of nick 's compatriots from statesville have been released recently . maggie : well , i 'm sure she has . but i ... victor : what ? maggie : i hate to even say this , but i would n't be surprised if whoever killed nick was someone he knew . someone that we all know . ej : oh , hello , william . i was just on my way to your apartment . i have the custody papers to go over with you all unless -- unless you want to look at them here first . will : [ sighs ] no . gabi and i are finally on the same page , and i do n't want her to think that i 'm going behind her back . i 'm sure that you came up with a very fair agreement . ej : as fair as one can be , i think , yeah . will : terrific . ej : okay , well , shall we ? gabi : kate 's gone ? sonny : yeah . gabi , you know she 's just trying to help , right ? gabi : wait , you 're talking about kate ? help herself , maybe . sonny : maybe . but she cares about you . she really does . she just sort of ... gabi : has a unique way of showing it , is that it ? sonny : yeah . gabi : [ chuckles ] will : hey . gabi : hi . ej : gabi , did you get my message ? gabi : i did . ej : i bumped into william in the town square , and i offered to go through the contract with him first , but he was very keen that we all share it together . gabi : oh , i agree . from now on , we should do everything together when it comes to our daughter . kate : ah . finally you deign to grace me with your presence . lucas : why are you so worried about the fall line ? i told you it was all good ... kate : believe me , right now , i could give a damn about the fall line . lucas : you just told me you were worried about it . kate : because i was afraid that your phone or my phone might be bugged . lucas : why would my phone be bugged ? kate : oh . because it 's most likely the police think you killed nick . lucas : that 's crazy . kate : is it ? because i think it too . eric : sami , if you can not be happy for nicole -- sami : happy ? happy ? you want me to be happy ? i just stood there and begged you not to give me bad news because i really can not take it today , and you tell me that you are marrying a woman who has done nothing but cause me misery ! eric : and i 'm -- sami : i mean , she 's tortured me ! how could you do this to me ? eric : sami , i 'm not doing anything to you . sami : what happened to loyalty to your twin ? eric : and how about loyalty to nicole ? she was willing to give up everything for me ... sami : [ laughs ] eric : even her life . sami : well , too bad that did n't work out . eric : sami . sami : do n't even start with me , okay ? nicole is nothing but a narcissistic , selfish , greedy bitch . i ca n't believe you 're thinking about marrying her ! i mean , she is ... she is a terrible human being , and she only does things that she wants to help herself , and that 's why she did it for you . she helped you because it helps her ! eric : sami , stop . stop it . sami : do n't even -- i 'm not done yet ! she 's lying and manipulative ! she 's a horrible human being ! eric : has that ever been said about you , sami ? you do n't see me standing here tearing into ej , even after what he did . sami : well , ej has changed . nicole has n't , and she never will . eric : she has . and i love her . sami : well , i 'm sorry to hear that . i 'm more sorry that i do n't have the time or the energy to rescue you right now ! i ca n't save you from destroying your life ! eric : that 's good . because there 's nothing that you could do that would ever come between us . daniel : why , why , why are you doing this ? nicole : you know why . daniel : why are you compounding these lies when you know you 're just making it harder ? if you had just taken eric somewhere and told him the truth , and then maybe he would start thinking you 're honest , and he would give you ... nicole : i wanted to , i really did , but you see how happy eric is . do you really wan na be the one who destroys his life ? daniel : uh , nicole , no . the only one destroying anything is you . the longer you wait to tell him the truth , it 's gon na get worse . have you not learned that yet ? nicole : but , daniel -- daniel : no , no , no . i know you think you can change my mind if you plead and you beg long enough . but you ca n't , 'cause what you 're doing is wrong ! it 's wrong , and it has to stop right now . you did it ! nicole : i hate lying to eric . and i hate that you 're involved , daniel , but i do n't know what else to do . daniel : there is only one thing you can do . nicole : eric and i are happy . and you can see that . and after everything we 've been through ? all right , fine . maybe i do n't deserve it , but he sure as hell does . he loves me . he chose me . daniel : because he does n't think he has another choice . he 's convinced he could never be a priest again . okay , look , i have no doubt that he loves you , nicole . but his calling , his vocation , it is his life . i ca n't know what he would have done if he had seen chyka 's evidence to clear his name . but keeping it from him ? you robbed him of that chance . this whole relationship is based on a lie . and it has to be made right , and i want so much for you to make it right . but i 'll tell you what . if you ca n't -- nicole : you will , i get it . daniel : you 're damn right i will ! nicole : stop threatening me with that ! this is my life too . this is about my dreams coming true , so could you please just leave it alone ? ca n't you just -- just this once , just turn your head ? victor : why would you think we 'd know the person who murdered nick ? maggie : i do n't have enough fingers to count the number of people who despised nick . before nick died , he tried to reinsinuate himself in gabi 's life . victor : well , he certainly was tenacious . maggie : when will suggested that he and gabi get a written custody agreement , nick encouraged gabi or her lawyer to ask for the moon . victor : [ chuckles ] oh , i can imagine how kate responded to that . maggie : and will and sonny and sami . [ cell phone rings ] maggie : oh . it 's julie . she 's making the funeral arrangements . excuse me . hi , julie . victor : may we rest in peace , knowing that he 's rotting in hell . lucas : what 's the matter with you ? how could you accuse me of that ? kate : all right , all right . a simple yes or no will do . lucas : well , it 's good to know that the police have a higher opinion of me than my own mother does . kate : [ laughs ] well , actually , i think you did the world a tremendous favor , so ... lucas : all right , why do you think it was me ? i mean , do you have any idea how many people in this town wanted nick fallon wiped off the face of the earth ? kate : yes , i do , and you were at the top of the list . ej : so as you can see , it really is all perfectly straightforward . will : right . gabi : okay , but i do wan na make sure that if anything happened to one of us , god forbid -- ej : oh , right , absolutely . that 's covered , um -- here we go . so if you were to predecease william , then the custody would revert to him , and if the reverse were to happen , then the custody would revert to you . gabi : wait a minute . sonny : what ? gabi : i 'm sorry , i have a problem with that . eric : i do n't even want to hear this , sami . nicole saved jennifer from being killed by that lunatic liam frazer ! sami : wait , did n't she almost get daniel killed in the process ? eric : both she and daniel could have been killed when they went after chyka . meanwhile , your fiancé , he did n't even raise his finger to try and find his own sister ! he could have given me my life back , but he did n't even try ! sami : you want your life back , you stay away from nicole walker , okay ? just stay away from her ! do i have to remind you of everything that she has done to me ? eric : do i have to remind you of everything you 've done to her ? i guess it was just too much to expect a little smile on your face for my sake . sami : wait a second . everything i am saying is for your sake . eric : yeah , right . you know what ? i do n't need my family 's support . thank god i actually have friends who want me to be happy . sami : you know who you sound like ? brady , and we all know how that turned out . eric : yeah , well , i 'll tell you what . you worry about your own wedding , sami , and i 'll worry about mine . daniel : so you expect me to just turn my head and look the other way , like it 's just some minor glitch ? like it 's no big deal ? nicole : is n't eric 's happiness a big deal and mine ? daniel , i have been waiting my whole life for a man like eric . daniel : and do you think that he 's been waiting his whole life to be lied to by the woman he loves ? you were so determined to help him . you were willing to put your own self - interest away because it 's what you wanted for eric . you wanted it to be eric 's choice . and then what ? i mean , what happened ? eric is n't the only one you hurt . jennifer nearly died . she was almost killed on smith island because you did n't come forward with what you knew . you were so desperate to hide the truth that you tried to kill liam . you almost killed me instead . nicole : i knew you really did n't forgive me for that . daniel : okay , nicole , i mean what i say . but i am so sick of you changing the subject ... [ groans ] look , you need to do what is right . i am your friend , nicole , but i 'm also eric 's . and he has a right to know what you 've done . and he still may see his options . but i guarantee you , one way or another , he will know . nicole : fine . i will find eric , and i will tell him the truth . daniel : for real this time ? eric , yeah , it 's daniel . can you call me after you 've spoken with nicole ? nicole : you bastard . now you 're just hurting me . daniel : no . you 're hurting yourself . nicole : you 're right . i need to do this , and i will . just give me some time to pull myself together .

[ cell phone rings ] sami : samantha brady . oh , yes . i 'll be by to pick that up myself . thanks . will : what 's wrong ? gabi : well , if something happened to me , of course i want will to have custody , but i 'd also like for my brother to get to see his niece . and i want that in writing . will : not a problem . ej : okay , i can take care of that . is there anything else ? gabi : uh , yeah . i do n't see anything in there about sonny 's rights . ej : that 's because sonny does n't have any legal rights . gabi : well , what if something were to happen to me and will ? i wan na make it clear that arianna grace should continue living with sonny if -- if that 's what he wants . sonny : of course that 's -- that 's what i would want . i just hope that that would never happen , where you -- gabi : it 's just in case . i wan na make it clear that you 're her other daddy . look , you 've been a part of our daughter 's life from her very first breath , and i just wan na protect your rights . ej : you know , i really do n't think this agreement is the right place for a stipulation like that , but how about you leave it with me ? i 'll find a way to get it in there somehow . sonny : thank you . will : yes . thank you . lucas : i 'm at the top of the list -- me ? how do you figure that ? kate : because i know that you were upset when i told you about the custody hearing , that nick was planning on getting gabi to shut will and the rest of us out of ari 's life . lucas : i would never do that , mom . kate : you just need to drop the act , okay ? my gun is missing . you 're the only one who could 've taken it , and there 's only one reason that you would do that . daniel : [ groans ] jennifer : hey . daniel : hey . i ... jennifer : you wan na tell me what 's going on ? daniel : i just spilled my coffee . jennifer : no , that 's not what i 'm talking about . i just saw nicole speed away about a minute ago , and you are upset again . so whatever is going on between the two of you , it has got you completely on edge . i wan na know what it is . tell me . please . nicole : hey . eric : hi . nicole : things did n't go well with sami ? eric : no , they did n't . you do n't look so happy yourself . nicole : it 's just -- i 've been giving something a lot of thought , and there 's only one way to do this , and it 's just to say it out loud . eric : okay , say what ? nicole : we need to elope .Summarize.[/INST]sami told ej that they had to figure out who killed nick since the hit man did n't do it . lucas met with will to talk about nick being dead . daniel warned nicole to tell eric the truth or he would . eric came over and wanted to know what was going on between them . sami was afraid someone they loved was going to go to prison . lucas asked will how he felt about nick 's death . nicole lied to eric and told him that brady and theresa were back together . eric was suspicious that daniel did n't say anything and wanted to know what was going on . kate wanted to talk to gabi about nick . ej thought sami suspected will of killing nick . sami did think will shot nick . daniel tried to tell eric the truth , but nicole kept changing the subject . eric asked daniel to be his best man . nicole said she wanted daniel to be her best man . when daniel walked off , eric wanted to know what was going on . kate wanted to get things straight with gabi about the night nick died . lucas and will continued to talk about nick being dead .</s>

[ scene_break ] steve : then the plane 's radio went dead . then the computer , the instruments , all the controls went out . someone sabotaged the electronics , man . roman : so , you do n't think it could have been a glitch ? steve : no . when i opened up that control panel , all the wires were fried . looked like somebody had attached some kind of small explosive to it . and the pilots were drugged , and they died . marlena found some kind of powder residue in their water bottles . roman : yeah . yeah , shawn told us about that . you know , normally when something like this happens , stefano is our number - one suspect . steve : yeah , but he 's still comatose , is n't he ? roman : yes , he is , which makes it highly unlikely that he was behind this . but somebody sure as hell sabotaged that plane . you know , i wonder if whoever did this wanted to kill everybody on board . maybe there was just a single target . and if that 's the case , that person would have to be crazy enough to kill all those other people . steve : well , besides stefano , i mean , who would be crazy enough , vicious enough to do a thing like that ? roman : steve . steve : that person would have to be pretty damn crazy . [ scene_break ] lexie : i 'm so sorry about shawn . kayla : thank you . listen , i know that your relationship with your father is complicated , but it ca n't be easy for you knowing that stefano is n't really there . lexie : thank you for understanding , especially after all the things he did to you and your family . kayla : well , i may not care for your father , but i really care for you . lexie : i love you . oh , and speaking of my father , i 've got to get going . i 'm already late . kayla : well , get going then , boss . lexie : oh , you heard about the promotion , huh ? kayla : yeah , i did . i 'm sorry i have n't had a chance to congratulate you . you are gon na make an excellent chief of staff . lexie : why , thank you . and as your boss , i am ordering you to relax . kayla : yes , ma'am .

[ scene_break ] e.j . : so , i mean , did my father or my grandfather know anything about this ? marlena : apparently not . stefano discovered recently that colleen was alive . he would never had sent john to kill her if he had known he would be reuniting mother and child . sami : i just -- i ca n't believe ... that you 're stefano 's half brother . lexie : what did you just say ? anna : lexie , you missed the big announcement . john is the son of colleen brady and santo dimera . lexie : they had a child ? marlena : i know that 's hard to believe , but it 's true . i wish we had more details , but colleen 's passed away . lexie : so , all these years that we 've been friends , you were actually my uncle ? john : let 's reconstruct the family tree another time . i want to call stefano 's lawyers and look into his estate . do you have a number ? e.j . : what exactly do you want with my father 's estate ? john : as santo 's other son , i 'm entitled to my share of the dimera estate . and with my big brother out of commission , i figure i get control of just about everything . e.j . : oh , really ? is that what you guess ? sami : okay . okay . john , why would you want anything to do with the dimeras ? john : let 's just say i 'm curious to look into my roots . anna : [ chuckles ] talk about the roots of all evil . john : i just want to see what rightfully belongs to me . after everything stefano 's done to destroy my life , do n't you think i deserve a little compensation ? i do . so , come on . let 's celebrate . the three of us . have a drink with your uncle .

[ scene_break ] viki : your feelings for me are what 's stopping you ? should n't it be the opposite ? david : when you said charlie was succumbing to dorian 's charms , i thought , `` finally . viki and i can act out the fantasy she has about me . `` viki : and now we can . david : and we would in a heartbeat ... if only charlie was really falling for dorian , and who would blame him . that woman 's a sexual firecracker . viki : uh , what do you mean by that ? david : viki , i know you would n't think that dorian would n't be the kind of woman who knew her way around a kitchen , but give her a spatula and a 6-burner stove , and she -- wait a second . i see what you 're doing . viki : you do ? david : oh , yeah . you 're using dorian to seduce me , and i like it . viki : so that means that your feelings for dorian ... david : are n't nothing compared to your feelings for charlie , and i 'm telling you something , he 's coming back . and as nice as a roll in the hay with me would be for you , i 'm thinking about your marriage , and what kind of friend would i be if i let you destroy that ? viki : but , david -- david : i know , you 're disappointed . viki : yes . yes , i am . david : of course you are . you 're only human . i got to tell you , i 'm thinking about myself , too , and our friendship . i do n't want to lose you as a friend just to take you on as one of my many lovers . viki : david . you ca n't fool me . why do n't you just admit who this is really about ?

and do n't give me a bunch of bull . leo : it 's my new business endeavor , placing children in need in good homes with loving parents for a reasonable fee . sonny : that does n't sound like a legal way to adopt a child . leo : i assure you it is all on the up and up . this little girl was taken from a negligent mother . and i knew the two of you would make perfect parents . so what do you think of her ? daniel : thank you so much for coming , abe . thank you . abe : well , i see you , but i still do n't believe it . you 're alive . daniel : and ready to resume the life that got taken away from me . so you will help us out ?

eric : i did a search on where you 've been the last few years . and lo and behold , i found some wedding photos . nicole : you married her ? abe : who ? daniel : she means nothing to me . nicole : okay , now , now wait a minute . if you were free to marry her , then you were never held by rolf or kristen . so ... so what took you so long to come back home ?

will : hello . come on . look at her . is she adorable ? sonny : i - i can see that , okay , but i think we need some time . will : time to what ? you 're the one who said you wanted another baby . sheila : give her to me . will : huh ? what ? sheila : give her to me . will : oh . eli : this is our baby ? sheila : yes . eli : you sure ? sheila : yes , this is her . will : what 's going on ? is this for real ? eli : i just found out that sheila had our baby , this baby . she was kidnapped from her apartment a week ago . sonny : i knew you were up to no good . sheila : leo , i ca n't believe your bitch ass is behind this . leo : i did n't know that was your baby . sheila : the hell you didn't . and i thought the two of us were tight . but the only reason you invited me to drag queen bingo is so your partner can kidnap my baby ? and i lost 40 bucks at bingo too . do n't ever come near either of us again . come on , eli , let 's go . ben : you killed my dad . ciara : i was defending myself , ben . he was trying to strangle me . and i saw that bottle of wine , and i just -- i hit him . i hit him in the head as hard as i could . ben : why was he doing that ? ciara : because i was calling the police . i was gon na turn him in , because i knew that that business of his was illegitimate , and i did n't want him to drag you -- i did n't want him to drag you down with him . and i -- i did n't want to kill him . but i did it . i did n't mean it . i 'm so sorry . i did n't mean it . ben : it 's okay . i 'm the one who 's sorry . i was so stupid . i was so stupid that i was crazy enough to let him stay here alone with you . are you sure you 're okay ? ciara : yeah . ben : do you want me to take you to the emergency room ? ciara : no , i 'm fine . i 'm fine . i 'm fine . ben , what are we gon na do ? ben : we 're gon na call the police , and we 're gon na tell them the truth , that he attacked you , and you were defending yourself . ciara : no , no , no . ben : ciara , it 's not gon na be a hard sell . ciara : no , ben , because if we do that , then they 're gon na know that you said he could stay here , no . ben : then we say that he showed up when i was gone . no , we ca n't do that either . ciara : why ? why , why , why not ? ben : people know that errand i ran for him . ciara : oh , god . okay . okay , okay , okay , so , uh , okay , okay , so we just -- we 've got to get rid of the body then . we have to get rid of his body . ben : it 's not gon na -- ciara : and we 've got to clean -- ben : ciara , it 's not gon na be that easy . ciara : we have to . and we do n't have a choice , okay ?

lani : yeah . sheila : you gon na be okay with this ? lani : why would n't i ? sheila : i mean , because babies have a way of bringing people together . lani : yeah , but you and eli were never together . and he 's with me now . sheila : hm , and he was with gabi last year , so goes to show you never can tell . leo : let me cut to the chase . i understand that before will got sent to the slammer , the two of you were thinking about having another kid . thanks to my new line of work , i can make those dreams -- baby bliss -- come true . sonny : [ scoffs ] yeah , you want to be our surrogate ?

eli : head of the organization is clyde weston . lani : he 's in statesville . eli : not anymore . he broke out . sheila : well , let 's go find that hillbilly bastard and get our baby back . eli : actually , my friend thinks that the baby may be with an associate of clyde weston . will : what the hell is going on here ?

and do n't give me a bunch of bull . leo : it 's my new business endeavor , placing children in need in good homes with loving parents for a reasonable fee . sonny : that does n't sound like a legal way to adopt a child . leo : i assure you it is all on the up and up . this little girl was taken from a negligent mother . and i knew the two of you would make perfect parents . so what do you think of her ? daniel : thank you so much for coming , abe . thank you . abe : well , i see you , but i still do n't believe it . you 're alive . daniel : and ready to resume the life that got taken away from me . so you will help us out ?

eric : you ca n't marry him . nicole : eric , please do n't make this any harder than it already is . daniel : okay , excuse me . eric : you do n't understand . you ca n't marry daniel , because he 's already married . ben : ciara ? dad ? hey . you okay ? you do n't look so good . ciara : i have something that i need to tell you . ben : hey , i know you do n't want me to get mixed up with my father , but he really did ; he helped me more than once in prison . i ca n't turn my back on him now . where is he ? ciara : i ... i do n't really know how to say this . ben : say what ? what ? oh , my god . what happened ? ciara : i killed him . nicole : is he right ? are you married ? daniel : come on . dude , how -- how did you find out ? eric : i did a search on where you 've been the last few years . and lo and behold , i found some wedding photos . nicole : you married her ? abe : who ? daniel : she means nothing to me . nicole : okay , now , now wait a minute . if you were free to marry her , then you were never held by rolf or kristen . so ... so what took you so long to come back home ? daniel : i -- i just -- i needed to just clear my head . you know , so i went to australia to catch some tasty waves , and -- nicole : you went surfing ? daniel : i just needed some inner peace . nicole : oh , inner peace , huh ? i 'll show you inner peace , you son of a bitch . eric : whoa ! hey ! whoa ! abe : whoa ! whoa ! nicole : oh ! sonny : you ca n't just barge in here with a baby and expect to sell her to us . first of all , it 's disgusting . second of all , will and i , we need to figure out if we still want to adopt . will : i want her . sonny : what ? will : hello . come on . look at her . is she adorable ? sonny : i - i can see that , okay , but i think we need some time . will : time to what ? you 're the one who said you wanted another baby . sheila : give her to me . will : huh ? what ? sheila : give her to me . will : oh . eli : this is our baby ? sheila : yes . eli : you sure ? sheila : yes , this is her . will : what 's going on ? is this for real ? eli : i just found out that sheila had our baby , this baby . she was kidnapped from her apartment a week ago . sonny : i knew you were up to no good . sheila : leo , i ca n't believe your bitch ass is behind this . leo : i did n't know that was your baby . sheila : the hell you didn't . and i thought the two of us were tight . but the only reason you invited me to drag queen bingo is so your partner can kidnap my baby ? and i lost 40 bucks at bingo too . do n't ever come near either of us again . come on , eli , let 's go . ben : you killed my dad . ciara : i was defending myself , ben . he was trying to strangle me . and i saw that bottle of wine , and i just -- i hit him . i hit him in the head as hard as i could . ben : why was he doing that ? ciara : because i was calling the police . i was gon na turn him in , because i knew that that business of his was illegitimate , and i did n't want him to drag you -- i did n't want him to drag you down with him . and i -- i did n't want to kill him . but i did it . i did n't mean it . i 'm so sorry . i did n't mean it . ben : it 's okay . i 'm the one who 's sorry . i was so stupid . i was so stupid that i was crazy enough to let him stay here alone with you . are you sure you 're okay ?

why , why , why not ? ben : people know that errand i ran for him . ciara : oh , god . okay . okay , okay , okay , so , uh , okay , okay , so we just -- we 've got to get rid of the body then . we have to get rid of his body . ben : it 's not gon na -- ciara : and we 've got to clean -- ben : ciara , it 's not gon na be that easy . ciara : we have to . and we do n't have a choice , okay ?

[ scene_break ] bob : asking doc reese if he 's sleeping with your wife wo n't accomplish anything . tom : well , it might give me a chance to punch him in the mouth . bob : that 's exactly what i mean . do n't do anything that you 're going to regret . tom : you know , when i think about all the problems that margo and i have gotten through -- this is the time of our life , our marriage , when we should be just relaxing and enjoying each other . now the good times have finally here , and what does she do ? bob : one more time . you do n't know if she 's done anything . tom : i do know , dad . because i know margo . what i do n't know is how i 'm going to get through this party pretending like nothing has happened . bob : all right . look , why do n't i take kim and grandmother to the party and you and margo stay here and talk . kim : okay , you guys , let 's get in the car . the party 's gon na be over before we get there . tom : all right . see you there . kim : okay , honey . margo : tom ?

[ scene_break ] jordan : i 'm getting a little tired of you laying down the law to me , rosanna . all jen said is that -- rosanna : is that she wants cabot to feel at home someplace else . jordan : it 's only fair that cabot spend some of his time with you , and some of his time with me . you know , i want him to be as comfortable at my place as he is here . rosanna : cabot has been moved around enough . i want him to feel settled . i do n't want to confuse him . jordan : all right . well , that i can understand . we both want what 's best for him , so , for now , we will keep the status quo . paul : for now ? jordan : but if you expect me to just stand in the shadows , waiting for permission to be his father , then you are in for a fight that will never end . rosanna : i 'd like to propose a deal . paul : rosanna -- do n't do this . jordan will twist everything around . rosanna : actually , paul , it was your idea . jordan , how would you feel about moving in with me ? paul : that was just a joke . i did n't think anybody would take me seriously . rosanna : well , why not ? jordan wants to have more time with cabot . i could certainly use the help . it might work out for everybody . jordan : but , for how long ? jennifer : good question . rosanna : well , i 'd rather not set a time limit . let 's just say until cabot feels comfortable , and you feel that you 've bonded with him . jordan : okay . and then what ? rosanna : well , we could have our marriage annulled , certainly . and perhaps set up joint custody ? we 'll see . we 'll move on . paul : rosanna , excuse me . you were willing to get on a plane and leave everything you knew behind to get away from stenbeck . now you 're going to invite this -- this into your home ? james controls jordan . rosanna , please do n't do this . jennifer : jordan , i know you care about cabot , but you do n't have go by her rules . rosanna : look , if the two of you do n't mind , this is between jordan and me . jordan , what do you say ? shall i set up a room for you ? jordan : okay . i 'll move in .

[ scene_break ] paul : it 's not too late , you know . you can still change your mind . jordan comes back , you tell him he ca n't move in . rosanna : i 'm not going to do that . paul : you 've already let stenbeck get closer to cabot than he should ever be . putting jordan here is like asking james to baby - sit . rosanna : i 'll increase security at the gates . paul : you do n't honestly think that that 's going to stop my father ? rosanna : i 'll put guards on the roof . i 'll put dogs in the yard . i 'll do whatever it takes . paul : why are you being so stubborn about this ? rosanna : do you think i want jordan here , living with me ? of course i do n't . i do n't want him under my feet all the time . but i think it might be what 's best for cabot . carly has been at me constantly , saying how a child needs two loving parents . and if jordan wants to be a loving parent to cabot , then i think it quite possibly could be cruel to deny cabot that . paul : you want to know about cruel ? let me explain to you how cruel my father can be . rosanna : i understand , okay ? but did n't you also tell me that i should compromise with jordan so james would n't get mad ? paul : compromise is one thing . exposing yourself to danger -- that 's another thing . rosanna : i 've made my decision , okay ? paul : i 'm sorry . i wo n't say anything else . but if james is going to be so close , you 're going to need protection .

pilar is thwarted in her murder attempt by simon , but as the goodbye party progresses , she threatens snickers when katie comes up to feed him for the last time . henry overhears simon talking with nancy and realizes that simon has been in cahoots with pilar the whole time . tom makes an embarrassing accusation to margo at the party . ben catches doc being a jerk to jessica and they explain it away as a lawyer / client dispute , ben telling jessica she needs to dump him as a client . roseanna invites jordan to move in , much to paul and jennifer 's chagrin .
<s>[INST] jessica : sorry . i 'm not interested in negotiating some mutual strategy . having sex with you was one of the worst mistakes of my life . and what i want to do about it is pretend it never happened . doc : you 're sure ? jessica : yes , i 'm sure , doc . why ? do you want it to be the lead story in your next broadcast ? doc : why do n't you just relax ? i mean , remember , you and i are both on the same side . jessica : oh , how could that possibly be true ? doc : you think i want people to know about this ? trust me , i do n't . jessica : by people , you mean margo . doc : yeah , that 's right . she 's one of them . because i know you two are close . jessica : not close enough to admit that i was hiding in the bathroom when she showed up . it 's so degrading . doc : well , good . you know , the less she knows , the better . jessica : you are amazing . you could care less how this is impacting my life . all you care about -- is it gon na mess up your chances with margo . doc : wrong . wrong . wrong . i just want to know that you meant what you said last night about not going public with this . jessica : doc , i 'm not some football groupie who 's going to brag to the world about how i got you into bed . i 'm a mature , intelligent woman who lost her mind last night , and the only thing i want to do is never mention it again . doc : that 's fine with me . all right ? i just want to make sure you and margo do n't get hurt .

'cause everybody knows you 're a player , you 're a womanizer -- doc : you know , what does that make you ? huh ?

[ scene_break ] jordan : i 'm getting a little tired of you laying down the law to me , rosanna . all jen said is that -- rosanna : is that she wants cabot to feel at home someplace else . jordan : it 's only fair that cabot spend some of his time with you , and some of his time with me . you know , i want him to be as comfortable at my place as he is here . rosanna : cabot has been moved around enough . i want him to feel settled . i do n't want to confuse him . jordan : all right . well , that i can understand . we both want what 's best for him , so , for now , we will keep the status quo . paul : for now ? jordan : but if you expect me to just stand in the shadows , waiting for permission to be his father , then you are in for a fight that will never end . rosanna : i 'd like to propose a deal . paul : rosanna -- do n't do this . jordan will twist everything around . rosanna : actually , paul , it was your idea . jordan , how would you feel about moving in with me ? paul : that was just a joke . i did n't think anybody would take me seriously . rosanna : well , why not ? jordan wants to have more time with cabot . i could certainly use the help . it might work out for everybody . jordan : but , for how long ? jennifer : good question . rosanna : well , i 'd rather not set a time limit . let 's just say until cabot feels comfortable , and you feel that you 've bonded with him . jordan : okay . and then what ? rosanna : well , we could have our marriage annulled , certainly . and perhaps set up joint custody ? we 'll see . we 'll move on . paul : rosanna , excuse me . you were willing to get on a plane and leave everything you knew behind to get away from stenbeck . now you 're going to invite this -- this into your home ? james controls jordan . rosanna , please do n't do this . jennifer : jordan , i know you care about cabot , but you do n't have go by her rules . rosanna : look , if the two of you do n't mind , this is between jordan and me . jordan , what do you say ? shall i set up a room for you ? jordan : okay . i 'll move in .

mariah : no , and i did n't expect him to . actually , i 'm glad that he didn't . i did n't want him to say it just because he felt obligated to . and even though we 're in different places in the relationship , i do n't regret saying it . tessa : he feels the same about you , i can see it . mariah : yeah ?

benjamin : i 'm taking a look at your competition downstairs . jack : brash & sassy ! ? benjamin : well , based on trade reports and a reliable source that i 've talked to , it seems that they 're not doing as well as jabot . jack : well , numbers do n't lie . flagging sales , management in disarray ... benjamin : interesting . victoria newman does n't come off as a c.e.o . of a company that 's in distress . jack : then you 've spoken . benjamin : yeah , we had dinner last night . jack : well , i 'm sure she was able to spin things to make it look like , uh , management was on top of things , but i guess the c.e.o . of nationwide department stores did the same thing last year . benjamin : [ chuckles ] yeah , as i , uh , took his company and sold it off piece by piece . jack : it was a thing of beauty . benjamin : you 're pushing for a repeat performance . jack : no , no , no , no . no . merely pointing out the obvious . low - hanging fruit , crying to be picked . benjamin : and if i dismantle brash & sassy ! as i 've done so many others , it 'd eliminate a key competitor of yours . jack : a side benefit , yeah . benjamin : mm , it seems to be a popular theme -- their demise at jabot . jack : oh ? benjamin : i spoke briefly with phyllis . jack : her motives differ from mine . benjamin : but your end goal is the same . jack : seems to me the only end goal that matters is yours , ben . victoria can talk a great game , but that should n't keep you from your instincts . benjamin : actually , there was n't much shoptalk last night . jack : is that so ... benjamin : you know , actually , i need to return some calls . nice talking with you , jack . billy : hey . victoria : oh ! there you are . let 's get cracking . we got to get a jumpstart on this new ad campaign . billy : one step ahead of you . i requested some mock - ups that i have here for you . so , how 'd it go with benjamin hochman last night ? victoria : fine . billy : fine ? it 's no secret why he asked you to dinner or what he 's after . victoria : yeah , that 's why i called him on it . i assured mr . hochman that brash & sassy ! 's not in play -- in any way -- and that i had made the company leaner and meaner , and we are well on our way to our best quarter yet . billy : well , maybe you should n't have raised the bar so high . victoria : well , i believe in our products and our strategy . best quarter yet -- you just wait and see . billy : there 's no way that he took that at face value , vick . victoria : no , of course he didn't . billy : okay , then how 'd you shut him down ? come on . we both know hochman 's rep precedes him -- before , during , and after his divorce . victoria : all right , well , benjamin did try to get me to let my guard down . he said he wanted to get to know the real me . billy : and did he ? `` the young and the restless `` will continue . hilary : my phone has been going nuts because i landed that national commercial . jack : wow ! congratulations . a national commercial ? what 's the product ? hilary : well , all i 'm allowed to say is that it is a `` sinfully rich , calorie- friendly dessert . `` [ laughs ] jack : you 're going to be brilliant . hilary : thank you . > ary : you 're the first immediately -- i just appreciate how steadfast and supportive you always are with me , even when i manage to piss off some of your close friends . jack : oh , who did you cross swords with this time ? hilary : well , i imagine that i 'm not nikki 's favorite person . jack : because you aired footage of her husband punching her son ? you 'd be upset , too . hilary : it is not my fault that i have a nose for what 's juicy ! in fact , i actually stumbled upon some juice earlier . jack : do tell . hilary : well , victoria newman did a walk of shame right here , this morning . jack : or maybe she just dropped by for some coffee . hilary : oh , please , jack . it was so obvious , it could have been written on her forehead . she spent the night with benjamin hochman . phyllis : morning , benjamin . benjamin : phyllis . breakfast meeting ? phyllis : something like that . may i ? benjamin : yeah , by all means . phyllis : you look like a man for whom business is going quite well . benjamin : ca n't complain . phyllis : oh , then you must be ready to seize upon brash & sassy ! [ laughs ] benjamin : i do enjoy how up front you are . no artifice . phyllis : life is short . benjamin : indeed . well , i expected victoria newman to be your exact opposite -- remote , unapproachable . phyllis : she is n't ? benjamin : she was n't last night . phyllis : so your dinner with her was ... beneficial ? benjamin : not quite . i left feeling that , uh , my procurement of that company would , well , not be as straightforward as i was led to believe . phyllis : i told you about the lousy sales numbers ... benjamin : i do n't think that the numbers tell the whole story . phyllis : are you planning on meeting victoria again and pursuing this ? benjamin : well , it 's not that i 'm not interested . the company 's very attractive . phyllis : as is the c.e.o . benjamin : true . but i 've learned to listen to my instincts , not to waste effort pursuing something that has very little chance of paying off . jordan : have n't talked in a couple days . how 's it going ? lily : uh , not great , but it 's good to see you . jordan : maybe not after you hear the latest . lily : oh , god . now what ? jordan : that dessert commercial that you auditioned for ... lily : oh , no , i already know i did n't get it . jordan : what you do n't know is who did . lily : no ... jordan : afraid so . lily : how ? jordan : she saw the copy you left behind ... lily : and you put her on tape . jordan : i would n't do that to you . hilary taped herself , lily , submitted her audition , and got the part . [ sighs ] i hate to dump this on you . lily : look , i ca n't even get worked up about hilary and her latest jab at me , not after everything that 's happened ... cane : unlike my departure from brash & sassy ! , yours came with a generous severance package and a hefty settlement , so i 'm sorry if i do n't seem to have much sympathy for you losing your job . juliet : but so many people were affected by what you did . cane : yeah . innocent people . i know . juliet : it was the reason the league made us yank the commercial . the one your wife starred in . it was lily 's big break . cane : look , i never meant to hurt lily . 'cause i never meant for this to air on television 'cause if you had come and told me that victoria wanted you to run this on hilary 's show , i would have told you stop it and none of this would have happened . juliet : is this why you invited me to sit down ? so you can vent your frustration , relieve you of some guilt ? cane : no , this is all on me now . i own that . but you know what i ca n't wrap my head around ? is everything that has happened after . 'cause i ca n't get a job , my kids ca n't stand me , and now lily 's told me to move out . hilary : mariah , i am so glad that i ran into you . mariah : oh , hey , yeah , we just got back from the music festival . it was out of this -- hilary : okay , yeah , i do n't care about any of that . i 'm going to new york tomorrow to shoot my tv commercial . national spot , my acting debut . tessa : oh , let me guess ! brooms -- they want you to fly on one . mariah : congratulations , hilary . do n't worry about a thing . i will cover the show duties while you 're gone . hilary : okay , i will get you all of the script material . just try and remember whose show it is . mariah : how could i forget ? hilary : this is n't `` all about eve `` when the understudy gets to go on for the superstar and makes the role hers . you work for me , okay ? tessa : i have a sudden , uncontrollable urge to push a certain tv host into the deep end . mariah : oh , no , no , no ! do n't you dare ! do n't you dare . [ laughs ] billy : sounds more like a date than a meeting to me . victoria : how could you even say that to me ? billy : because i know men , i know the way they think , and i know the way that benjamin hochman rolled in here , what he was angling for when he came to `` pick you up . `` victoria : okay , listen , the whole point of having dinner with the esteemed mr . hochman was to dispel any rumors that brash & sassy ! is in trouble and to send him back to chicago convinced that we 're on solid financial footing . billy : did you do that ? victoria : yeah , for now . maybe we should focus on backing that up with solid sales figures instead of pondering the intentions of some random investor . billy : yes , ma'am . did you get a look at the new copy we have and the images for the winter campaign ? victoria : yes , it 's right on message . billy : good . and i like this one here -- lily 's so seduced by the hockey player wearing dare body spray that she dares to take the initiative with him . vick ? victoria : what ? billy : the shot -- did you see ? victoria : ah . show me . yeah , it 's good . billy : yeah . you know , i got to say , i 'm impressed with lily -- the way that she 's handling herself with everything going on personally . she 's doing such great work . victoria . victoria : i 'm sorry . i was just -- i just remembered something that i needed to discuss with hannah about the kids . billy : well , speaking of hannah , she was there early this morning , was n't she ? you really did want to get a jumpstart on the day , did n't you ? phyllis : wait until you hear what i just found out from benjamin hochman . jack : he mentioned that you talked to him about going after brash & sassy ! phyllis : that man has a very big mouth . jack : well , lucky for you , i approve , even though we do n't share the same motives for wanting to see brash & sassy ! go under . phyllis : i never said i wanted brash & sassy ! to go under ... jack : you need n't re - attest to your undying love for my brother . let 's take that as a given . and if that love is what is driving you to cast our closest competitor into oblivion and we get the lab back -- you know , i can live with that . phyllis : do you want to hear what hochman told me or not ? jack : you know what ? let me share first . i have it on very good authority that victoria spent the night in ben hochman 's suite . phyllis : do n't you play with me , jack abbott . what ? i never imagined it would go that far , or that well when i encouraged ben to ask her out . i -- i just spoke with him . he did n't say a peep ! jack : ditto with me . phyllis : so how do you for certain ? jack : hilary saw the two of them together at the club earlier . she also saw victoria leave in a , uh , disheveled state this morning . phyllis : well , hilary does n't miss a beat , that 's for sure . jack : well , not when it falls in her lap . phyllis : hochman has his eyes on brash & sassy ! and victoria . he just needs to be more certain that he can close the deal . there 's got to be a way . jack ... i know that smile . what have you done ? noah : hey , mom ! sharon : [ gasps ] hi , noah ! you know , your sister just stopped by and told me all about the festival . sounds lush . noah : it was . sharon : and romantic ... noah : mom . sharon : i 'm just quoting your sister , who has apparently fallen head over heels for devon . noah : mm - hmm . sharon : and says that you and tessa are getting closer , too . noah : we are , which i want you to be okay with . sharon : well , look , i ca n't help but worry -- i 'm your mom . noah : okay , mom , i 'm old enough to manage my own relationships ... sharon : look , you 've been through a lot . but if tessa treats you right and she makes you happy , then why should i have a problem with it ? noah : good ! 'cause i need a favor . sharon : what kind of favor ? noah : well , now that grandma has moved out of the ranch , uh , it 's a little weird for tessa being in that house . sharon : since nikki 's the one who invited her to live there in the first place ... noah : yeah , and now she 's just stuck there with grandpa . sharon : oh , alone in the house with victor , who really was n't all that welcoming in the first place . that ca n't be fun . why does n't she just move out ? noah : well , she 's still saving money , so i was wondering if maybe it 's cool if tessa stays in your house until she can get her own place ? sharon : as long as it 's okay with mariah . mariah : you can not push hilary into a swimming pool . ever ! tessa : if you 're not around ... mariah : tessa ! i still have to work with the woman ! tessa : mm . ah ! thank you . mariah : thank you so much . tessa : oh , did , uh , noah newman mention ... that i should place this on the newman account ? yes , on his way out . tessa : okay , great . unfortunately , my manager just informed me -- there have been some issues . tessa : issues ? what kind of issues ? issues with the account ? oh , uh , okay . uh , i do n't have much cash on me . mariah : yeah . me , neither . tessa : uh ... [ chuckles ] mariah : hold on . one second . tessa : yeah . here . mariah : um ... tessa : [ giggles ] mariah : what 's so funny ? tessa : that we might end up washing dishes after our weekend of living large . mariah : [ laughing ] oh , god . uh ... uh ... tessa : that should cover it . mariah : thank you . tessa : thanks . mariah : sorry ! tessa : oh , my god ! mariah : [ laughs ] tessa : thank you . that -- that really could have been embarrassing . jordan : i can tell you 're not taking this as well as you 're pretending to be . lily : no , i 'm not upset about hilary . jordan : if you 're worried about money , they love you at brash & sassy ! you 'll never have a problem with getting work . you have family , friends , me ... lily : no , it 's not about the work . jordan : then what is it about ? lily : i just thought i could forgive cane and move past everything , but there were just more lies . and more people were hurt . and that 's why i told cane that he has to move out . juliet : you have made mistakes . we all have . but you 've done your fair share of good , too , cane . i believe that you are a decent man . cane : i 've tried to be . juliet : despite how we got here ... this child is lucky to have you as a father . i 'm sorry your family is treating you so harshly , after everything you 've done for them . phyllis : okay , you have to tell me . jack : would n't you rather be surprised ? phyllis : jack . jack : okay . victoria 's is no pushover in business . phyllis : why is why it 's random she would sleep with hochman , knowing a shark like that is circling her company ... jack : whatever her reasoning , her actions provided an opportunity . i merely hastened the process , you know , moved things along . phyllis : and how did you manage to do that ? jack : it should have arrived by now . billy : you got a delivery . victoria : oh , yeah ? the new packaging design ? billy : uh , no . just a dinner , huh ? vick . you want to tell me what really happened ? [ next_on ] neil : now we get to the mysterious reason why ashley is here . victoria : you do n't see me grilling you about phyllis , do you ? when 's the last time you two `` plundered `` each other ? jack : we 're agreed ? no reason to share our little joint venture with anyone .
victoria is shocked when she wakes up in bed next to a snoring ben hochman . when he awakens , he promises her that he wo n't tell anyone about their night together . mariah has a hard time forgetting the kiss that she shared with devon in san francisco . mariah tells sharon that she told devon she loves him , and they had a wonderful weekend together . noah asks sharon if tessa could live with her until she gets her own place . sharon says its okay if mariah also approves of tessa living with them . tessa is nervous about her first recording session . hilary tells jack that victoria slept with ben hochman . jack later tells phyllis and he also tells her of his plan to make sure that ben buys brash and sassy to dismantle it and get rid of their competition . lily tells jordan that she kicked cane out of the house , because he used the kids ' tuition to pay a blackmailer . when cane tells juliet everything he did to mess up the hockey deal , she sees her chance to have him for herself . jack sends victoria flowers and signs ben hochman 's name to the card . billy wants to know what happened between ben and victoria last night . neil tells devon about cane 's latest lie and that he is worried about lily 's financial situation .

'cause i doubt you did n't hire due to my lack of qualifications . jack : hardly . cane : and since i worked at brash & sassy ! , it could n't have escaped you that i have expertise in their business plans , which would only benefit you and jabot . jack : there are a lot of factors that go into staffing decisions like this . cane : but , you see , i 'm not looking backward , jack . i 'm only looking at what could happen next , and , uh , how that could serve us both . billy : hannah . hey . you 're there early . can you do me a favor and put victoria on , please ? oh , really ? she 's not ? okay . well , i 'll try her on her cell . she must be , uh , getting to work early . can you tell the kids i say hello for me , please ? okay . bye . phyllis : what 's up ? billy : hey . i 'm just trying to get ahold of victoria about a meeting we have scheduled . guess she 's getting a jumpstart on the day . benjamin : hey . where you going ? victoria : oh ! i have to get to work . benjamin : i was hoping i could , uh , maybe buy you some breakfast ? victoria : oh , well , maybe some other time . benjamin : [ sighs ] last night , uh , was unexpected . [ chuckles ] that took me by surprise when you said you wanted to come back here . victoria : and we , um ... benjamin : well , you drank a considerable amount of wine , but , uh , i 'm glad you have n't forgotten . victoria : no . no , no , no . no chance of that . benjamin : listen , victoria , i know that you , uh , have kids and a certain image . listen , what happened last night stays between us . it goes no further . victoria : thanks . thanks a lot .

[ laughing ] hi ! how was the festival ? mariah : first of all , these are for you . sharon : oh ! thank you . hmm ! [ chuckles ] mariah : looks great ! sharon : wow . so , you had a good time ? mariah : yeah . backstage passes , private jets , limos , vip passes ... how can you beat the best ? because that 's exactly what this trip was . sharon : sounds like you had fun . mariah : unh ! sharon . fun is foofy little umbrella drinks and cheesy pizza . this was ... you know , i always wondered about those people behind the tinted windshields , and now i 'm one of them because of this fantastic guy that i 'm dating . sharon : so things are going well with devon ? mariah : it kind of makes you dizzy , being with somebody who can just snap their fingers and golden doors open . me and devon hamilton . sometimes it does n't feel real . sharon : enjoy dating him and being pampered . mariah : i told devon i love him . additional sponsorship victoria : so everything is good ? hannah : johnny and katie are fine . i fed them and dropped them off at day camp . victoria : [ sighs ] okay . well , thank you for staying over again , hannah . hannah : i meant what i said when i texted you back . it was no trouble . i hope you had a nice time . victoria : uh , yeah , sure did . i 'll see you soon . [ cellphone rings ] victoria : hi , billy . billy : hey . you at the office already ? victoria : uh , no . not yet . i 'm on my way in . billy : okay , um , i e - mailed you some talking points before our meeting with the east coast distributors if you want to go over them . victoria : yeah , we can deal with that before the meeting . billy : yeah , sure . that 'll work . so , tell me , how did it go with benjamin hochman last night ? anything i should know about ? victoria : i 'll be in shortly . billy : uh -- okay . phyllis : everything all right ? billy : yeah . victoria 's in her , you know , newman headspace . no time to tell me about the wrecking ball benjamin hochman or what that snake has up his sleeve . phyllis : are you afraid she 's gon na fall prey to that kind of guy ? billy : uh , no , i 'm sure she had her speech prepared already . brash & sassy ! has never been healthier , we 're in a great position , everything 's going forward , you know ... phyllis : i figured she had a plan in mind . i 'm sure she had fun doing it . billy : yeah , well , she loves the business head games , does n't she ? phyllis : no , i just meant , you know , the guy 's a handsome dude . billy : yeah , if you 're into that sort of thing . he 's not really victoria 's type . phyllis : here . let me help you with that . billy : thank you . phyllis : yeah . billy : ooh . oh , wow . sharon : saying the `` l `` word . big step . mariah : well , it was n't anything premeditated . it just sort of happened in the moment . sharon : i 'm happy for you . i 'm happy for noah , too . you know , just as a mom , i ca n't help being curious ... mariah : you are dying to ask about tessa and noah . sharon : are those two getting serious ? mariah : you know , they 're both a little gun - shy . i think they got a lot closer on this trip , and it 's obvious that noah 's really into her . sharon : does she feel the same way about him ? mariah : tessa does n't do fake . she does n't say things just to say them . she only does what feels right . tessa : traveling first class with devon all weekend -- must be what it feels like to be a headliner . noah : well , as soon as things start to take off for you , you will be rolling like that all the time . you 'll have the resources to go anywhere you want . tessa : that 's so much bigger than i saw my career ever going . i mean , all i really wanted to do was take care of myself and the people i love . noah : your sister ? tessa : yeah . noah : mm - hmm . well , that all starts tonight -- your first recording session . tessa : you think my songs are gon na take off ? noah : yes ! of course i do . i do . believe it . tessa : well , when you say it , i can . noah , um , wherever this goes , i hope you 'll take the ride with me . noah : i like the sound of that . tessa : i realize i was kind of distant when you first started showing interest ... noah : it was like , you know , mars or jupiter distance , but ... tessa : it 's , uh -- it 's not that i was n't attracted . i just did n't think it could go both ways . and you wanted to put on the brakes , so ... noah : look , when i said that i wanted to take things slow , that was n't like a code for something else , all right ? i just wanted to be completely honest with you . tessa : and i 've never been with someone like that , who 's authentic . it 's hot . hilary : well , you just signed tessa . of course you 'd want to promote her on your trip . i 'm sure that mariah understood , turning your romantic getaway into a business junket . devon : oh , well , it was n't all business . [ cellphone chimes ] hilary : oh . it 's just , um , the ad agency finalizing some details for my commercial in new york . devon : is mariah involved or anything , or ... ? hilary : no , this does n't have anything to do with my show . i thought that maybe your sister had mentioned something . devon : lily mentioned going on an audition recently . was this for the same thing that you got ? hilary : okay , do n't get all `` it was lily 's commercial `` on me , okay ? dozens of women auditioned . i got it . devon : [ chuckles ] hilary : so , what ? no congratulations ? devon : no , i 'm -- i 'm sorry . i 'm too busy being stunned . congratulations . really . hilary : thank you . devon : i 'm constantly impressed by your ability to make things happen . hilary : thank you . that means a lot coming from you . devon : well , good luck with everything . hilary : hello , victoria . victoria : hilary . what 's up ? hilary : you know that camera guy , jesse , from l.a. ? victoria : yeah . what about him ? hilary : he came to me looking for a job , but as soon as i realized who he was , i told him that i was not gon na hire him . ever . were you aware that he was in town ? victoria : i 'd rather not talk about it . hilary : okay , i was just trying to give you a friendly heads up . benjamin : ah ! victoria , you 're still here . i guess we can have that breakfast after all . victoria : oh , actually , this coffee is all i have time for , benjamin . benjamin : [ sighs ] victoria : i 'm due at the office . benjamin : i 'll call you later , then ? victoria : yeah . benjamin : coffee , please . charge it to room 637 . hochman . i 'll , uh ... i 'll be sitting over there . hilary : excuse me . are you benjamin hochman ? cane : and with technology like laser lights and skin products embedded with gold and , uh , diamonds , the product margins are about to explode . jack : dramatic changes ahead . cane : yeah , i understand these dynamics , jack . you add that to the fact i have intimate knowledge of brash & sassy ! 's inner workings ... jack : cane , i acknowledged all this in your interview . cane : yes , you did , but you did n't hire me , and i accept that . however , there is a reason i sought you out today . jack : why 's that ? cane : you were enthusiastic when you interviewed me at jabot . you were almost relishing in the prospect that you would have me come on board . jack : until i had a chance to give it some real thought . cane , i got to run . cane : what if i work for you directly ? under the radar , jack . jack : doing what , precisely ? cane : depends . i could be a consultant or a liaison . it 's whatever you want to call it . i work from outside the office . i report directly to you . this is our deal . it is strictly between us , and no one will know about it , and i give you my word . jack : there 's nothing for you at jabot , cane . cane : why ? you tell me . what is the possible downside in what i just proposed to you ? jack : because it 's too close to home . hilary : i am familiar with your work . you have an intimidating reputation for acquisitions . benjamin : a well - earned reputation . as is yours . i recognize you from your show , hilary . hilary : well , it is nice to meet you , officially . benjamin : they claim that i 'm ruthless . you do n't spare anyone , do you ? hilary : well , i do have my exceptions . come to think of it , our vocations are not very dissimilar . benjamin : how so ? hilary : well , we both look above and around and below what 's presented to the outside world . your business is in revealing the value of a company , and my business is in revealing the truth . benjamin : i like that comparison . there 's too many phonies out there . hilary : in genoa city ? benjamin : intriguing place . packed with talent . i 'm taking a few meetings . hilary : with whom ? benjamin : management in fenmore 's division of jabot , victoria newman at brash & sassy ! ... hilary : oh , i ran into her earlier this morning . jack : hilary ! always good to see you . hilary : oh ! mwah . likewise . jack : ben ! what are you up to ? benjamin : hilary and i were just having a fascinating chat about a common interest . hilary : the truth . in all its unpleasant glory . lily : if billy and victoria had n't come here and told me that cane paid off that cameraman , i never would have known . he 's lied to me about everything , and it 's -- it 's too much . neil : yeah , i know . i know . you did the right thing by asking him to move out . lily : it killed me to do that . and knowing cane , i know he 's going through hell right now . neil : he should never have used that tuition money to cover up his lies . lily : that 's what did it for me . i have to protect mattie and charlie . neil : listen , let me give you some money to cover walnut grove , okay ? lily : no , dad , that 's not why i 'm telling you about this . it 's not . cane and i are supposed to be a team , you know ? we 're supposed to trust each other . and we did . until he lied about using the kids ' tuition money as an `` investment . `` neil : lily . you can confide in me . you know you can . does n't matter -- any issue , any concern , any reason at all . lily : dad , i 'm not asking for money , but thank you . neil : okay , look . we need to be realistic here . cane is out of a job . lily : dad , i 'm not . neil : are they paying you enough , you know , to cover your bills , all that kind of stuff ? i mean , please , be honest with me . lily : i 'm being honest ! we 're good right now . we are . i 'm actually going out for other projects . i had an audition for a national commercial . neil : get out of here , huh ? how 'd you do ? lily : i did n't book it , but there will be other projects . neil : yeah . i 'm sorry . lily , you are such a beautiful girl . you always have such a positive attitude . lily : the kids need to know it 'll be okay . neil : they will know . they have you . come here . juliet : i did n't mean to ... i had no clue that you 'd be here . cane : it 's a , uh , public place , so i ca n't imagine you 're stalking me . you know , it 's inevitable that we run into each other around here , so , uh , you might as well hear this from me . have a seat . tessa : oh ! hi . come here ! mariah : hi . tessa : [ sighs ] i keep trying to mentally prep for this recording session tonight , but all i can think about is -- how many famous people did we meet this weekend ? mariah : oh , enough to make my brain implode . tessa : and then we flew on a private jet this morning ... mariah : i know . i keep thinking , like , did that all seriously just happen ? tessa : it was special , mariah . all of it . and that time alone with noah just changed everything . things have gone to a whole new level . mariah : yeah . yeah , same with , uh , devon and me . i told him i love him . tessa : did he say it back ? mariah : no , and i did n't expect him to . actually , i 'm glad that he didn't . i did n't want him to say it just because he felt obligated to . and even though we 're in different places in the relationship , i do n't regret saying it . tessa : he feels the same about you , i can see it . mariah : yeah ? tessa : yeah ! mariah : with your x - ray vision ? tessa : no , no , i mean , he planned this whole trip for you . you invited me to tag along . and i 'm glad you did . it was an amazing experience , and you 're an amazing friend , mariah . devon : it was actually pretty genius for mariah to invite tessa to come along 'cause not only was i able to sample new artists and styles at the festival , but i was able to put tessa 's name and face out there just as we 're getting prepared to go into the studio and record , you know ? neil : mm - hmm . mm . sounds like our music division is gon na have a real successful launch , man . i 'm -- i 'm excited . devon : tell that to your face . is something going on with you ? you all right ? neil : i did n't want to dump this on you before you had unpacked your bags , man , but i just came from seeing lily . devon : some more trouble with cane ? neil : you would not believe what that man has pulled now . cane : and that is why i temporarily took the money from my kids ' tuition fund -- to pay off jesse . juliet : you told jesse to remove that footage , where billy and the players said they were joking about gambling . all to make him look bad . cane : yes . juliet : i was the one who got blamed for that tape going on the air . i was the one who got fired because of you . cane : that 's right . hilary : please excuse me , gentlemen , i have a call to take . jack : sure . benjamin , i , uh , am not gon na change my mind and accept your offer . benjamin : you made that clear . jack : okay , so what are you still doing in town ? benjamin : i 'm taking a look at your competition downstairs . jack : brash & sassy ! ? benjamin : well , based on trade reports and a reliable source that i 've talked to , it seems that they 're not doing as well as jabot . jack : well , numbers do n't lie . flagging sales , management in disarray ... benjamin : interesting . victoria newman does n't come off as a c.e.o . of a company that 's in distress . jack : then you 've spoken . benjamin : yeah , we had dinner last night . jack : well , i 'm sure she was able to spin things to make it look like , uh , management was on top of things , but i guess the c.e.o . of nationwide department stores did the same thing last year . benjamin : [ chuckles ] yeah , as i , uh , took his company and sold it off piece by piece . jack : it was a thing of beauty . benjamin : you 're pushing for a repeat performance . jack : no , no , no , no . no . merely pointing out the obvious . low - hanging fruit , crying to be picked . benjamin : and if i dismantle brash & sassy ! as i 've done so many others , it 'd eliminate a key competitor of yours . jack : a side benefit , yeah . benjamin : mm , it seems to be a popular theme -- their demise at jabot . jack : oh ? benjamin : i spoke briefly with phyllis . jack : her motives differ from mine . benjamin : but your end goal is the same . jack : seems to me the only end goal that matters is yours , ben . victoria can talk a great game , but that should n't keep you from your instincts . benjamin : actually , there was n't much shoptalk last night . jack : is that so ... benjamin : you know , actually , i need to return some calls . nice talking with you , jack . billy : hey . victoria : oh ! there you are . let 's get cracking . we got to get a jumpstart on this new ad campaign . billy : one step ahead of you . i requested some mock - ups that i have here for you . so , how 'd it go with benjamin hochman last night ? victoria : fine . billy : fine ? it 's no secret why he asked you to dinner or what he 's after . victoria : yeah , that 's why i called him on it . i assured mr . hochman that brash & sassy ! 's not in play -- in any way -- and that i had made the company leaner and meaner , and we are well on our way to our best quarter yet . billy : well , maybe you should n't have raised the bar so high . victoria : well , i believe in our products and our strategy . best quarter yet -- you just wait and see . billy : there 's no way that he took that at face value , vick . victoria : no , of course he didn't . billy : okay , then how 'd you shut him down ? come on . we both know hochman 's rep precedes him -- before , during , and after his divorce . victoria : all right , well , benjamin did try to get me to let my guard down . he said he wanted to get to know the real me . billy : and did he ? `` the young and the restless `` will continue . hilary : my phone has been going nuts because i landed that national commercial . jack : wow ! congratulations . a national commercial ? what 's the product ? hilary : well , all i 'm allowed to say is that it is a `` sinfully rich , calorie- friendly dessert . `` [ laughs ] jack : you 're going to be brilliant . hilary : thank you . > ary : you 're the first immediately -- i just appreciate how steadfast and supportive you always are with me , even when i manage to piss off some of your close friends . jack : oh , who did you cross swords with this time ? hilary : well , i imagine that i 'm not nikki 's favorite person . jack : because you aired footage of her husband punching her son ? you 'd be upset , too . hilary : it is not my fault that i have a nose for what 's juicy ! in fact , i actually stumbled upon some juice earlier . jack : do tell . hilary : well , victoria newman did a walk of shame right here , this morning . jack : or maybe she just dropped by for some coffee . hilary : oh , please , jack . it was so obvious , it could have been written on her forehead . she spent the night with benjamin hochman . phyllis : morning , benjamin . benjamin : phyllis . breakfast meeting ? phyllis : something like that . may i ? benjamin : yeah , by all means . phyllis : you look like a man for whom business is going quite well . benjamin : ca n't complain . phyllis : oh , then you must be ready to seize upon brash & sassy ! [ laughs ] benjamin : i do enjoy how up front you are . no artifice . phyllis : life is short . benjamin : indeed . well , i expected victoria newman to be your exact opposite -- remote , unapproachable . phyllis : she is n't ? benjamin : she was n't last night . phyllis : so your dinner with her was ... beneficial ? benjamin : not quite . i left feeling that , uh , my procurement of that company would , well , not be as straightforward as i was led to believe . phyllis : i told you about the lousy sales numbers ... benjamin : i do n't think that the numbers tell the whole story . phyllis : are you planning on meeting victoria again and pursuing this ? benjamin : well , it 's not that i 'm not interested . the company 's very attractive . phyllis : as is the c.e.o . benjamin : true . but i 've learned to listen to my instincts , not to waste effort pursuing something that has very little chance of paying off . jordan : have n't talked in a couple days . how 's it going ? lily : uh , not great , but it 's good to see you . jordan : maybe not after you hear the latest . lily : oh , god . now what ? jordan : that dessert commercial that you auditioned for ... lily : oh , no , i already know i did n't get it . jordan : what you do n't know is who did . lily : no ... jordan : afraid so . lily : how ? jordan : she saw the copy you left behind ... lily : and you put her on tape . jordan : i would n't do that to you . hilary taped herself , lily , submitted her audition , and got the part . [ sighs ] i hate to dump this on you . lily : look , i ca n't even get worked up about hilary and her latest jab at me , not after everything that 's happened ... cane : unlike my departure from brash & sassy ! , yours came with a generous severance package and a hefty settlement , so i 'm sorry if i do n't seem to have much sympathy for you losing your job . juliet : but so many people were affected by what you did . cane : yeah . innocent people . i know . juliet : it was the reason the league made us yank the commercial . the one your wife starred in . it was lily 's big break . cane : look , i never meant to hurt lily . 'cause i never meant for this to air on television 'cause if you had come and told me that victoria wanted you to run this on hilary 's show , i would have told you stop it and none of this would have happened . juliet : is this why you invited me to sit down ? so you can vent your frustration , relieve you of some guilt ? cane : no , this is all on me now . i own that . but you know what i ca n't wrap my head around ? is everything that has happened after . 'cause i ca n't get a job , my kids ca n't stand me , and now lily 's told me to move out . hilary : mariah , i am so glad that i ran into you . mariah : oh , hey , yeah , we just got back from the music festival . it was out of this -- hilary : okay , yeah , i do n't care about any of that . i 'm going to new york tomorrow to shoot my tv commercial . national spot , my acting debut . tessa : oh , let me guess ! brooms -- they want you to fly on one . mariah : congratulations , hilary . do n't worry about a thing . i will cover the show duties while you 're gone . hilary : okay , i will get you all of the script material . just try and remember whose show it is . mariah : how could i forget ? hilary : this is n't `` all about eve `` when the understudy gets to go on for the superstar and makes the role hers . you work for me , okay ? tessa : i have a sudden , uncontrollable urge to push a certain tv host into the deep end . mariah : oh , no , no , no ! do n't you dare ! do n't you dare . [ laughs ] billy : sounds more like a date than a meeting to me . victoria : how could you even say that to me ? billy : because i know men , i know the way they think , and i know the way that benjamin hochman rolled in here , what he was angling for when he came to `` pick you up . `` victoria : okay , listen , the whole point of having dinner with the esteemed mr . hochman was to dispel any rumors that brash & sassy ! is in trouble and to send him back to chicago convinced that we 're on solid financial footing . billy : did you do that ? victoria : yeah , for now . maybe we should focus on backing that up with solid sales figures instead of pondering the intentions of some random investor . billy : yes , ma'am . did you get a look at the new copy we have and the images for the winter campaign ? victoria : yes , it 's right on message . billy : good . and i like this one here -- lily 's so seduced by the hockey player wearing dare body spray that she dares to take the initiative with him . vick ? victoria : what ? billy : the shot -- did you see ? victoria : ah . show me . yeah , it 's good . billy : yeah . you know , i got to say , i 'm impressed with lily -- the way that she 's handling herself with everything going on personally . she 's doing such great work . victoria . victoria : i 'm sorry . i was just -- i just remembered something that i needed to discuss with hannah about the kids . billy : well , speaking of hannah , she was there early this morning , was n't she ? you really did want to get a jumpstart on the day , did n't you ? phyllis : wait until you hear what i just found out from benjamin hochman . jack : he mentioned that you talked to him about going after brash & sassy ! phyllis : that man has a very big mouth . jack : well , lucky for you , i approve , even though we do n't share the same motives for wanting to see brash & sassy ! go under . phyllis : i never said i wanted brash & sassy ! to go under ... jack : you need n't re - attest to your undying love for my brother . let 's take that as a given . and if that love is what is driving you to cast our closest competitor into oblivion and we get the lab back -- you know , i can live with that . phyllis : do you want to hear what hochman told me or not ? jack : you know what ? let me share first . i have it on very good authority that victoria spent the night in ben hochman 's suite . phyllis : do n't you play with me , jack abbott . what ? i never imagined it would go that far , or that well when i encouraged ben to ask her out . i -- i just spoke with him . he did n't say a peep ! jack : ditto with me . phyllis : so how do you for certain ? jack : hilary saw the two of them together at the club earlier . she also saw victoria leave in a , uh , disheveled state this morning . phyllis : well , hilary does n't miss a beat , that 's for sure . jack : well , not when it falls in her lap . phyllis : hochman has his eyes on brash & sassy ! and victoria . he just needs to be more certain that he can close the deal . there 's got to be a way . jack ... i know that smile . what have you done ? noah : hey , mom ! sharon : [ gasps ] hi , noah ! you know , your sister just stopped by and told me all about the festival . sounds lush . noah : it was . sharon : and romantic ... noah : mom . sharon : i 'm just quoting your sister , who has apparently fallen head over heels for devon . noah : mm - hmm . sharon : and says that you and tessa are getting closer , too . noah : we are , which i want you to be okay with . sharon : well , look , i ca n't help but worry -- i 'm your mom . noah : okay , mom , i 'm old enough to manage my own relationships ... sharon : look , you 've been through a lot . but if tessa treats you right and she makes you happy , then why should i have a problem with it ? noah : good !

[ scene_break ] angie : do me a favor . the next time someone asks me to cover their graveyard shift , remind me about last night . jesse : hey . did you get those bagels that i like ? angie : it was crazy . you know , and if that test proves that richie novak really did steal bone marrow from j.r. chandler -- is that the craziest thing you ever heard of ? jesse : and you got my favorite coffee in there ? angie : yeah , sure . and those rookies just hanging on to your every word . jesse : tell you what . this looks like a good place to eat . let 's eat , huh ? angie : and you , jesse hubbard , all taking charge , giving orders . jesse : what ? did you bring me out here to beat me up about last night , or have breakfast ? angie : no , i 'm not -- jesse : angela , if you want me to say i did n't enjoy being back in the action , that 's not going to happen .

[ erica chuckles ] jack : i 'll tell you something , sister , when you decide to do something , you do it proud . erica : and was n't it wonderful of the governor to pull strings , so i could tape my show here ? jack : yeah , i 'm a little confused about that . this is a federal prison , not a state prison . i 'm surprised that the governor had any pull here at all . erica : well , then whatever someone said to the federal board of prisons , that really worked . jack : you do n't suppose it 's that fact you 're a one - woman publicity dynamo , and would be the worst headache in this governor 's term ? [ jack chuckles ] erica : great thing about re - elections , is n't it ? jack : yeah . erica : although , i really do n't think that 's the only thing that really made this happen . huh . jack : so , how do you think your entire television crew got behind bars ? erica : i think that i do n't always know exactly how many true fans i have .

[ scene_break ] angie : you know , i do n't expect you to be thrilled to turn down the police chief job . jesse : there . we agree on that . angie : is -- is it wrong of me to want you around ? jesse : baby , you know what ? at some point , we really have to move past the lost 20 years and on to the hard stuff . the real stuff . come on . angie : wait a minute . are you saying that my broken heart was n't real ? jesse : i 'm just saying that maybe us coasting back into happy times was a little too easy . real life , baby , real marriages -- people get angry . people -- people get hurt sometimes . angie : i know that . jesse : well , then you should know that grown - up life can be messy , complicated . and we got a lot of messy , complicated stuff to hash out . angie : yeah . maybe . jesse : all right , so , you know what ? let 's do this , right here , right now . you and me , let 's have it out . [ scene_break ] frankie : this is about the patient . not about me hooking up . jake : hmm . and what did she forget ? your phone number ? [ jake chuckles ] frankie : well , she forgot how she got a couple of broken bones , bruises , on more than one occasion . multiple fractures . some that did n't heal correctly , because she did n't receive the proper medical care . jake : so you got domestic abuse . frankie : and she 's not admitting anything . jake : because she does n't want a fresh beating . frankie : that , or she may get more than a broken wrist next time . jake : why do men feel that they can just -- frankie : because they do . [ jake sighs ] jake : you know , there 's this , uh , little village in africa where this young mom was severely beaten , because she had two daughters instead of a son . there are these communities where women get raped , then blamed , then ostracized , then sometimes even killed . frankie : the world is a messed - up place . jake : hmm . that is why we try to take care of our little corner of it . frankie : i know , i know . do something good . make a difference . jake : it 's very difficult when there 's so many people to be saved . frankie : how do you handle it ? jake : me ? sometimes , uh -- well , there 's just days that are better than others . frankie : so , uh , beating the hell out of this guy is out of the question ? jake : listen , you would save every single one of them if you could . that 's why you became a doctor in the first place .

[ jack laughs ] jack : good . samuel : so , you going to go change clothes ? erica : uh , no . actually , the warden offered , but i refused . i thought that wearing a designer gown today , for this particular show , would defeat the purpose . i mean , it 's not just about me , it 's about carmen , and all these other men whose lives are going to be permanently changed by this place . jack : and , as carmen 's attorney , may i tell you how happy i am that you could get this going on here ? erica : well , hopefully , my show is going to tell her story forcefully enough that we can get that case reopened . samuel : erica , you understand that getting a case reopened is not that simple . erica : was that a challenge ? jack : sam , sam , sam , you really must learn that you ca n't say things like that around erica . erica : because i do love a challenge . erica : bob ? bob , we need a camera down -- down there , ok ? and , sean , can we have some more lights on the chairs ? they look a little dark to me . we want the uniforms to really pop , ok ? we almost ready ? stage manager : all prepped . erica : ok , good . carmen ? hi , how you doing ? carmen : i 'm ready for my close - up . erica : oh , good . and do you remember what we talked about ? carmen : sure , no sweat . i tell my story to the whole world . my background . daddy left , grew up with nada , met a guy who used me , yada - yada . erica : and then ? carmen : i was wrongly accused . the plight of the disenfranchised . good word , i know . prison library . erica : listen , we do n't need good words , we just need your words . you just tell your story . carmen : you bet i will . and , when i 'm done , everybody , all over , they 're going to be moved , inspired , fired up -- just like you do , erica . erica : carmen , you just be you . stage manager : we 're almost ready . erica : ok . so , you just -- just look at me , you just talk to me . just tell your story to me , ok ? and do n't even worry about the cameras , because you 're going to be fabulous . ok . stage manager : all right , everybody . ok ?

[ cheers ] samuel : now , you see there , i thought i 'd kept that under wraps . apparently not . [ audience laughs ] erica : oh , mr. woods , you 're not the only one who can dig for dirt . inmates : whoo !

[ scene_break ] greenlee : do n't distract me . i 'm furious here . zach : distracting you distracts me from killing somebody . greenlee : right , because you ca n't have your perfect life in prison . zach : i do n't want to spend time away from my family . i 'm sure you understand that . greenlee : you need to talk ? zach : what ? you have enough talking for both of us . i do n't need to talk , no . greenlee : ha . very funny . come on . that 's why you came here , is n't it ? zach : i looked into that guy 's eyes -- the person that changed our lives forever -- changed our families forever . i just wanted to see something . i wanted to see guilt or remorse or anything , but there was nothing . greenlee : he 's a psycho . zach : yeah . and he locked us in that shelter , because he thought it was going to be our tomb . he wanted us dead . and i had him by the neck . greenlee : yeah , but you did n't kill him . zach : no , well , who knows . maybe being in a shelter with you for a month -- maybe that made me a more moral , better person . greenlee : hmm . i wish i could say it made me a better person . zach : i think it did . greenlee : hmm . i 'm still afraid of death . i 'm still afraid of screwing up my life . i 'm still afraid of being ditched . and i still wonder why everyone seems so happy -- why their lives seem so much easier . zach : we both came out of that hole different people . greenlee : yeah . yeah , we did . here you are , a person who 's able to forgive his wife , and here i am unable to forgive aidan .

[ scene_break ] samuel : so , do i -- do i finally have your vote ? erica : well , uh , to begin with , i was undecided and then i was decidedly `` no . `` [ audience laughs ] erica : but now after this , i may have changed my mind . samuel : well , you see ? that 's progress , right ? [ audience laughs ] samuel : huh ? erica : well , i like a politician i can trust . samuel : that 's important , a politician you can trust . i think it 's so important that people have faith in the judicial system , but conversely , it is of utmost importance that the judicial system is worthy of that faith . erica : i would actually like to take a moment to thank you , my audience , for having so much faith in me . all your letters and your calls , your e - mails -- they mean so much to me . and actually , you are all so inquisitive . and so , i 'd like to answer a few of the questions you ask most often . bev and wally of keansburg , new jersey . you ask one i 've received many times . `` dear erica , how does a glamorous star like you survive in prison ? `` [ audience laughs ] erica : well , bev and walley , i certainly miss my facials and my red carpet events and my designer clothes . [ audience laughs ] erica : oh , i miss my designer clothes . [ audience laughs ] erica : especially anything that is n't orange . [ audience laughs ] erica : but the truth is , it -- it 's actually kind of amazing what you can learn to live without when you must and also , i feel now that i 'm actually even stronger for it ok , a number of you have heard of the rally that was held outside the prison to -- it was really for my release -- and you 're wondering if there 's going to be another one . well , i thoroughly enjoyed the show of support , and i thoroughly enjoyed the performance by b5 . they were unbelievable . [ audience chuckles ] erica : but the truth is , i -- i do think that there are far more worthy causes in this country today that deserve some rallies of their own . do n't you agree , samuel ? samuel : i think it is such an interesting time for -- for democrats and republicans alike and i really , really hope that all americans get out there and exercise their constitutional right to vote . do n't complain later . vote . [ erica sighs ] erica : here 's a question that i have received far too often . `` erica , how can you stand being locked up with all those kind of people ? `` [ audience reacts ] erica : yeah . my thoughts exactly . first of all , the very fact that i am locked up in prison means that i am one of `` those kinds of people . `` [ cheers ] erica : most of us who are here are here , because we 've made a mistake and most of us are trying to learn from those mistakes and become more productive citizens . and so , right now , i really would like to introduce you to another one of `` those kinds of people . `` actually , she 's my kind of people . i 'm sure that most of you out there think that you know the story . you 've read about it , how she and i were on the run . most of you read about how this woman held me hostage , and you think you know the whole story . but you do n't , because the real story is that now this woman -- this woman is exactly the kind of woman who i adore , who i would like standing right by my side , who i would trust my life with . she is smart , she is brave , she is courageous , and she has a story that you really need to hear . carmen , will you please come up here and join me ? [ cheers ] inmate : whoo ! inmate : whoo - whoo ! erica : carmen , please tell us your story . i know you 're dying to share it . before our incarceration here , carmen , you -- you delivered two criminals into the hands of the authorities , did n't you ? and for that , they tacked on extra time , did n't they ? [ audience reacts ] carmen : yeah , extra time . erica : and did you do anything wrong ? did you commit a crime ? did you do anything wrong , carmen ? loving -- loving the wrong person . that is the only thing that carmen did wrong , and who of us has n't done that ?

[ erica chuckles ] jack : i 'll tell you something , sister , when you decide to do something , you do it proud . erica : and was n't it wonderful of the governor to pull strings , so i could tape my show here ? jack : yeah , i 'm a little confused about that . this is a federal prison , not a state prison . i 'm surprised that the governor had any pull here at all . erica : well , then whatever someone said to the federal board of prisons , that really worked . jack : you do n't suppose it 's that fact you 're a one - woman publicity dynamo , and would be the worst headache in this governor 's term ? [ jack chuckles ] erica : great thing about re - elections , is n't it ? jack : yeah . erica : although , i really do n't think that 's the only thing that really made this happen . huh . jack : so , how do you think your entire television crew got behind bars ? erica : i think that i do n't always know exactly how many true fans i have .

[ scene_break ] frankie : this is about the patient . not about me hooking up . jake : hmm . and what did she forget ? your phone number ? [ jake chuckles ] frankie : well , she forgot how she got a couple of broken bones , bruises , on more than one occasion . multiple fractures . some that did n't heal correctly , because she did n't receive the proper medical care . jake : so you got domestic abuse . frankie : and she 's not admitting anything . jake : because she does n't want a fresh beating . frankie : that , or she may get more than a broken wrist next time . jake : why do men feel that they can just -- frankie : because they do . [ jake sighs ] jake : you know , there 's this , uh , little village in africa where this young mom was severely beaten , because she had two daughters instead of a son . there are these communities where women get raped , then blamed , then ostracized , then sometimes even killed . frankie : the world is a messed - up place . jake : hmm . that is why we try to take care of our little corner of it . frankie : i know , i know . do something good . make a difference . jake : it 's very difficult when there 's so many people to be saved . frankie : how do you handle it ? jake : me ? sometimes , uh -- well , there 's just days that are better than others . frankie : so , uh , beating the hell out of this guy is out of the question ? jake : listen , you would save every single one of them if you could . that 's why you became a doctor in the first place . [ scene_break ] erica : samuel ? to what do i owe this honor ? samuel : i was in the area . erica : oh , so you just decided to drop in on your favorite convict ? samuel : i did n't think i 'd ever hear you say that . erica : what ? `` convict `` ? well , i 'm certainly not proud of what i did , but i 'm also not ashamed to include myself with these other women . samuel : a lot of people in your position would n't be so generous . erica : will you look at this place ? samuel : yeah . it 's -- it 's , uh , it 's a trip . it almost -- you ca n't believe you 're in a prison . erica : oh , gee , i hope that 's not really the case , because that 's the whole point of this show . that 's what 's going to make it really special . samuel : so , can i stick around and check it out ? erica : of course . i would expect nothing less . oh , and when you speak to governor brooks , would you please thank him for me ? i was very pleasantly surprised when he signed on for this . samuel : sure . jack : morning , sam . she got you working a camera or running a broom yet ? samuel : hey . erica : no , no , no . everything is all taken care of . jack : tell me , can we expect some of those trademark , eric kane surprises during the course of this show ? erica : well , of course .

[ cheers ] samuel : now , you see there , i thought i 'd kept that under wraps . apparently not . [ audience laughs ] erica : oh , mr. woods , you 're not the only one who can dig for dirt . inmates : whoo ! [ scene_break ] jesse : i ca n't believe you just said that . baby , being on the force is nothing like cheating on you . angie : ok . that was too far . i -- i should n't have brought up yvonne . jesse : they want me to be their chief of police . me , jesse hubbard from broke- down center city . angie : jesse , i 'm not saying you do n't deserve it . jesse : but i ca n't have it ? angie : not if you want to be safe . jesse : angie , i 've never been safe . we got married and kept our marriage a secret . that was n't safe . angie : that was different . jesse : i -- ok . the last 20 years of my life , also not safe , but here , now -- angie : all right , jesse , look , you -- you do n't have to tell me why you want it . i get that . jesse : i do n't think you do . i mean , at the hospital , they listen to you . they -- they -- they take your advice . they respect you . now , here 's my chance for that . angie : jesse , you know , the police force changed our lives . it changed our son 's life . jesse : our son is a grown man . angie : no , inside , he is still that same little boy who lost his father . look , why am i the villain here for keeping our family safe ? jesse : what are you -- i -- i kept you all safe by staying away for 20 years . and it was painful . baby , it was humiliating , and it was shameful as hell . but i did it for you . i do n't want to run anymore . angie : is that what you thing i 'm doing ? that i 'm shaming you ? [ scene_break ] greenlee : do n't distract me . i 'm furious here . zach : distracting you distracts me from killing somebody . greenlee : right , because you ca n't have your perfect life in prison . zach : i do n't want to spend time away from my family . i 'm sure you understand that . greenlee : you need to talk ? zach : what ? you have enough talking for both of us . i do n't need to talk , no . greenlee : ha . very funny . come on . that 's why you came here , is n't it ? zach : i looked into that guy 's eyes -- the person that changed our lives forever -- changed our families forever . i just wanted to see something . i wanted to see guilt or remorse or anything , but there was nothing . greenlee : he 's a psycho . zach : yeah . and he locked us in that shelter , because he thought it was going to be our tomb . he wanted us dead . and i had him by the neck . greenlee : yeah , but you did n't kill him . zach : no , well , who knows . maybe being in a shelter with you for a month -- maybe that made me a more moral , better person . greenlee : hmm . i wish i could say it made me a better person . zach : i think it did . greenlee : hmm . i 'm still afraid of death . i 'm still afraid of screwing up my life . i 'm still afraid of being ditched . and i still wonder why everyone seems so happy -- why their lives seem so much easier . zach : we both came out of that hole different people . greenlee : yeah . yeah , we did . here you are , a person who 's able to forgive his wife , and here i am unable to forgive aidan .

[ scene_break ] samuel : so , do i -- do i finally have your vote ? erica : well , uh , to begin with , i was undecided and then i was decidedly `` no . `` [ audience laughs ] erica : but now after this , i may have changed my mind . samuel : well , you see ? that 's progress , right ? [ audience laughs ] samuel : huh ? erica : well , i like a politician i can trust . samuel : that 's important , a politician you can trust . i think it 's so important that people have faith in the judicial system , but conversely , it is of utmost importance that the judicial system is worthy of that faith . erica : i would actually like to take a moment to thank you , my audience , for having so much faith in me . all your letters and your calls , your e - mails -- they mean so much to me . and actually , you are all so inquisitive . and so , i 'd like to answer a few of the questions you ask most often . bev and wally of keansburg , new jersey . you ask one i 've received many times . `` dear erica , how does a glamorous star like you survive in prison ? `` [ audience laughs ] erica : well , bev and walley , i certainly miss my facials and my red carpet events and my designer clothes . [ audience laughs ] erica : oh , i miss my designer clothes . [ audience laughs ] erica : especially anything that is n't orange . [ audience laughs ] erica : but the truth is , it -- it 's actually kind of amazing what you can learn to live without when you must and also , i feel now that i 'm actually even stronger for it ok , a number of you have heard of the rally that was held outside the prison to -- it was really for my release -- and you 're wondering if there 's going to be another one . well , i thoroughly enjoyed the show of support , and i thoroughly enjoyed the performance by b5 . they were unbelievable . [ audience chuckles ] erica : but the truth is , i -- i do think that there are far more worthy causes in this country today that deserve some rallies of their own . do n't you agree , samuel ? samuel : i think it is such an interesting time for -- for democrats and republicans alike and i really , really hope that all americans get out there and exercise their constitutional right to vote . do n't complain later . vote . [ erica sighs ] erica : here 's a question that i have received far too often . `` erica , how can you stand being locked up with all those kind of people ? `` [ audience reacts ] erica : yeah . my thoughts exactly . first of all , the very fact that i am locked up in prison means that i am one of `` those kinds of people . `` [ cheers ] erica : most of us who are here are here , because we 've made a mistake and most of us are trying to learn from those mistakes and become more productive citizens . and so , right now , i really would like to introduce you to another one of `` those kinds of people . `` actually , she 's my kind of people . i 'm sure that most of you out there think that you know the story . you 've read about it , how she and i were on the run . most of you read about how this woman held me hostage , and you think you know the whole story . but you do n't , because the real story is that now this woman -- this woman is exactly the kind of woman who i adore , who i would like standing right by my side , who i would trust my life with . she is smart , she is brave , she is courageous , and she has a story that you really need to hear . carmen , will you please come up here and join me ?

[ audience reacts ] carmen : yeah , extra time . erica : and did you do anything wrong ? did you commit a crime ? did you do anything wrong , carmen ? loving -- loving the wrong person . that is the only thing that carmen did wrong , and who of us has n't done that ?

[ scene_break ] lauren : kevin , do n't you think that a valentine 's date is moving a little fast ? kevin : maybe , but its how i feel . you make me want to do something crazy and just throw caution to the wind . lauren : you could get hurt that way . kevin : so what ? i ca n't keep doing what i 've been doing , lauren . it does n't cut it . i want more . lauren : meaning what ? kevin : um , okay , from the minute we met , i knew that you were this incredible woman . lauren : because i was nice to you at the boutique ? i mean , why ? kevin : well , i mean , that was part of it , but we connected , and i think you felt it , too . look , i 've seen you talking to other guys , like that guy that works here . lauren : cody ? kevin : um , yeah , and it 's not the same . i mean , you 're nice , and you smile , and you flirt a little , but it 's nothing more than that . lauren : because we 're friends . you know , he knows that we 're never going to be anything more than that . kevin : exactly , 'cause you do n't have that connection with him . but with us ... i 'm telling you , lauren , i feel it . i feel it right now . lauren : but how do you know that that 's real ? kevin : what , are you saying that it is n't ? lauren : no , um , i 'm just saying that sometimes it 's easy to believe that you 're falling in love with somebody that you barely know . kevin : so you have to start somewhere , right ? lauren : i suppose . kevin : okay , believe me , lauren , i can totally understand you feeling a little bit strange . i mean , if i were saying these things to me , i would totally think it was crazy . lauren : well , or maybe you 're just a hopeless romantic . kevin : well , what can i say ? you know , there 's a lot of things about me that you do n't know . you know , a lot of things that i want to share with you . lauren : and i would really like that , but , you know , valentine 's day . i mean , what if i already have plans ? kevin : well , you could change them , could n't you ? it 's your prerogative . and i do n't think paul williams would mind all that much . lauren : how do you know about paul ? kevin : you do n't realize how well i have you figured out . lauren : and what does that mean ? kevin : it 's like i said . we have this connection . so now you have to ask yourself -- do you really want to go to the valentine 's dance with paul williams ?

'cause i 'd certainly like to know . paul : really , you do n't ? bobby : if i did , his head would be in a jar on my desk . paul : his head ? does that mean it 's not a jealous girl ? bobby : look , enough with the detective stuff . i told you , i do n't know who did it . what else did your cop friends tell you ? paul : they seem to think you are , uh , connected with the wrong kind of people . bobby : everybody 's a judge . paul : are you ? bobby : i know some people . most of them i 'm friends with . sure you 'd like 'em , too . wendy : bobby , you promised i could have the 9 : 00 slot . bobby : all right , i did , and you can . wendy , say hello to my friend paul . wendy : oh , hi , i did n't see you . bobby : you know what ; i just realized that i promised the same thing to marcy . i had a lot on my mind . i 'm sorry . wendy : because of marilyn ? bobby : yeah , will you forgive me ? bobby : sure , bobby , but do n't let it happen again . bobby : oh , i wo n't . wendy : come see the show . i 'll do a little something special . bobby : wendy , do n't be selling in my office , hmm ? bobby : ( chuckles ) oh , man , where were we ? paul : i have no idea .

[ scene_break ] lauren : you know , just hang on a minute . i think you 're being unfair . paul : oh , you think i 'm being unfair ? lauren : yes , i am doing this for you , for your investigation . paul : lauren , i do n't want you to help me with my investigation . you know , the last thing i remember is that we agreed to disagree . lauren : yes , we did . and then i did n't realize i was gon na run into kevin . paul : well , that still does n't explain why you said yes . you could have told him you had other plans . why does this seem so difficult ? lauren : because i wanted to play it smart and not antagonize him . paul : oh , and you think this is smart , by accepting a date when you had other plans ? what if he finds out that you were going out with me ? i mean , he 's going to know that you were just using him . lauren : that 's not gon na happen . paul : it 's not ? lauren : kevin sees what he wants to see . paul : what if he sees you with somebody else ? what if he sees you with me ? lauren : you know what ? he knew that i was going with you to the valentine 's day dance , and that did n't deter him from asking me . he is so sure that i want to be with him that i do n't think he 'll give it a second thought . paul : oh . so that 's why you said yes ? that 's why you think nothing will go wrong ? lauren : paul , i can do this . paul : lauren , you do n't think like him . you do n't get it . he has a sick mind . you do n't go around locking people into restaurants and trying to roast them . this is not a game . lauren : i understand that . but you should hear the way he speaks to me . he said he wants to be with me , he wants to share things with me . if it were you , you would have thought it was a risk worth taking . paul : every inch you give him is a chance you 're gon na press the wrong buttons . he could flip out . he is a dangerous man . look , maybe you should talk to lily and colleen . lauren : please stop comparing me to lily and colleen . i am a grown woman . i can handle a little nerd like kevin fisher . paul : well , i hope so , because i 'd hate to see anything ... wait a minute . did he tell you that i was taking you out to the valentine 's day dance ? how would he know that ? did you tell him ? lauren : no , he brought it up . paul : that 's not possible . lauren : well , yes , because i did n't tell him . paul : are you positive ? lauren : yes . i mean , i may be tired , and it could be late , but i know what i said and what i heard . paul : his does n't make any sense at all . ( sighs ) lauren : you know what ? i 'm really tired . i have a lot of work at home , and i need some rest , so let 's just talk tomorrow , okay ? lauren : do n't be too mad at me .

[ scene_break ] paul : oh , i ca n't believe all this . lauren 's going on a date with that creep on valentine 's day ? how the hell did she get involved in all this ? i swear , she 's out of her mind . what about fisher ? is he psychic ? i mean , there 's no way he could have known that i was going to take lauren to the valentine 's day dance . i did n't know myself until earlier this evening . and i certainly did n't tell anyone . paul : except baldwin . paul : baldwin ? [ scene_break ] sharon : well , i do n't feel the need to explain myself , nikki , not to you , anyway . nikki : oh , you do n't ? you leave your children to fend for themselves and leave me to reassure them that their mother has n't abandoned them all over again -- which i had no idea if that was true or not -- and then you have the nerve to waltz in here and tell me that you do n't owe me an explanation ? let me tell you something , miss high - and - mighty , when nicholas comes home , he 's gon na get quite an earful . i promise you that . sharon : oh , yeah ? an earful of what ? i talked to nick . he got a hold of me on his cell phone right before he left chicago . nikki : really ? well , if that 's true , that was hours ago , sharon . sharon : what do you mean ? nikki : because i spoke with him shortly before you traipsed in here . his plane has n't even left yet . they have mechanical problems . sharon : what ? nikki : he just assumed that you were here , talking on the phone , letting the incoming calls go to voice mail , and i did n't correct him . i covered for you , god knows why . i stupidly thought that you would agree that you owed me an explanation . but i see that you 're just gon na stonewall me . i will just have to chalk that up as another example of your bizarre behavior . sharon : and you are just itching to go straight to him and make me look bad , are n't you ? nikki : sharon , all i have to do is give nicholas the facts . you manage the rest all on your own . sharon : well , let me remind you of something , nikki . nikki : oh , hold on a second . i sense that you are about to bring up the truth about abby . that little ax that you 've been holding over my head , threatening to go to victor if i do n't play your way . sharon : you keep your mouth shut , and i will return the favor . nikki : there 's only one problem with that . victor is about to find out . ashley 's gon na tell him herself . so i guess your little insurance policy is about to expire . you 're not gon na be able to blackmail me into silence or anything else . the only silver lining for me is to have the extreme pleasure of blowing you and your feeble excuses to kingdom come . now do n't you worry at all . i 'll make sure that the kids get to school in the morning . you have sweet dreams , dear heart . enjoy them while they last . sharon : ( sobbing ) no . oh , no . no ! no !

[ knock on door ] quinn : eric . what are you doing here ? rick : you guys knew about this ? ! thomas : steffy called me from monte carlo . ridge : she saw quinn and dad together . rick : but what if she had n't ? is that the reason ? is that -- because dad got caught -- is that why he broke it off ? how long was this gon na be a secret , guys ? ! thomas : it 's out ! quinn 's out of the picture . that 's it . rick : but do n't you think dad 's being a little bit naive ? ridge : he 's always been naive about women . rick : well , have n't we all ? he 's had time to outgrow that , ridge . ridge : well , maybe he has n't . rick : well , he listened to us . he was n't happy about it . but i think we got through to him . ridge : it 's quinn fuller . anything is possible . thomas : i completely agree . rick : we ca n't let her get anywhere near dad or the company . he 's a compassionate guy . he gives people second chances . i mean , look how many chances he 's given you , ridge . ridge : and you , rick . rick : quinn is a manipulator . she 's looking for a weak spot in his armor . we ca n't ever let her get that close to dad ever again . eric : may i come in ? quinn : yes , of course . eric : quinn , i did n't mean for my coming over here to upset you . quinn : seeing you does n't upset me , eric . eric : what is it , then ? quinn : oh , my son was over here -- scolded me like i was a child . eric : i had a bit of that myself -- ridge , rick , my grandkids . even pam chimed in . quinn : i 'm sorry . eric : as if i could n't take care of myself , live my own life , make my own decisions . i took charge over there . i 'm in -- i 'm in charge of my company again , and that 's because of you . i told them that . quinn : it 's good to see you , eric . i 've missed you .

[ sighs ] i will have the pills by the end of the evening . ava : yeah ? scott : yeah . ava : we have n't even discussed the terms . scott : no , we have n't . ava : [ laughs ] well , are you gon na tell me what you want ? or is a little mattress tag with lucy reward enough ? scott : i enjoy my time with lucy . i really do . but i feel somewhat bad taking advantage of her to do your dirty work . but i do like the fact that you owe me a favor . see ya , ava . [ scene_break ] lulu : i hope i did n't chase kevin off . laura : oh , no . do n't worry about that . i will be seeing plenty more of kevin . lulu : really ? laura : [ chuckles ] yeah . well , especially now that i wo n't have to take the launch to the mainland anymore . lulu : oh , no . please do not tell me that -- laura : i wish i did n't have to tell you , but yes , valentin does have a claim to this property . lulu : how ? ! wait . because nikolas signed it over ? that was clearly coercion . laura : as it turns out , nikolas never really had this estate . lulu : of course , he did . he was the cassadine prince . laura : he had the title , but he did not have the estate . it was -- nikolas ' grandfather mikkos , he left everything in his will to his eldest living son . stavros is gone , stefan is gone , so that leaves only ... lulu : valentin . laura : right . yeah . yeah , it does n't matter now . it does n't . helena is dead , the will resurfaced , spencer lost his entire inheritance , and valentin gets everything , including this house . i , uh -- i 'm afraid i do have to take you up on your offer to let me move in with you and dante , just for -- lulu : no . we want you to stay with us . having you under our roof is going to make dante and me almost as happy as it 's gon na make rocco . [ laughs ] laura : well , i aim to please . lulu : it 'll be good for us to be around family , especially after today . laura : morgan was such a sweet boy . and dante , to lose his brother like that , he must be devastated . lulu : it got worse . at the end of the funeral , sonny confessed that morgan 's death was his fault . dante had to take him into custody . [ scene_break ] dante : you 're the commissioner , so i guess it 's your call to make . that man in there is my father . that is a conflict of interest . jordan : your integrity and impartiality are not in question , dante , but that man , your father , he 's about to give us chapter and verse of how his actions directly led to your brother 's death . are you sure you 're ready to hear that ? [ scene_break ] sonny : why ca n't i plead guilty ? jason : you do n't have all the facts . sonny : well , enlighten me . just say it . jason : i 'm still working on confirming something . sonny : you either know or you do n't . jason : i found the guy who brokered the hit on julian . sonny : yeah , yeah . jason : i found mezzo . i also found out exactly what happened the night morgan died . [ scene_break ] lulu : mom , is this everything ? laura : uh , i 'm gon na take kevin 's advice and send for the rest of it . [ sighs ] if i need something before then , i 'll just buy a new one . i do n't think i want to come back here again . let valentin have the place . his castle . [ chuckles ] his island . let him rot . lulu : hey , hey . you okay ? laura : no . i keep thinking about this thing that valentin said to me . he looked at me and he said , `` we 're always gon na be connected by family . `` lulu : mom , you 'll always be nikolas ' mother . you 're spencer 's grandmother . like it or not , valentin is their relative . laura : i - i guess that 's probably what he meant . [ scene_break ] nina : okay . so , uh , what 's going on here ? valentin : do n't keep us in suspense , doc . what do they say ? griffin : valentin is charlotte 's father . valentin : if all of you lovely people who are not related to charlotte do n't mind , i 'd like to take my daughter home now . anna : actually , i do mind . [ scene_break ] carly : i found some new information about morgan . there was something going on with him before he died , and i 'd like to talk to you about that . andré : of course . anytime . carly : thank you . ava : morgan . [ scene_break ] kiki : hey . dillon : hey . kiki : i was n't expecting to see you here . dillon : you 're welcome to join me . you do n't have to . kiki : you know what i keep thinking ? how did things get so bad so fast ? morgan 's gone . now sonny 's going to jail . i mean , carly lost a husband and a son , and kristina and michael and my baby sister , avery , now are losing their father . if sonny confessing his crime was the right thing for him to do , then why is n't anything good coming of it ? dillon : i do n't know . hopefully , in time , we will be able to move on . kiki : do you really believe that ? dillon : i want to . kiki : thank you , dillon . dillon : for what ? kiki : for this . for what you did at the funeral earlier . just letting us be friends . for sitting next to me . [ scene_break ] michael : hey . nelle : hey . michael : do you need a ride or anything ? nelle : you know , actually , i was thinking about going to the metro court . michael : you canceled the reception . nelle : i did , but we still have all of those flowers , and i was thinking maybe we could bring them to your mom 's house . unless that 's embezzling , in which case ... michael : i think it 's fine . and i think it 's very nice . i really -- i ca n't thank you enough for everything you 've done for my mom . [ scene_break ] jax : you ready to go ? carly : i do n't want to go . because when i leave , it 's the beginning of my life without morgan . jax : then do n't go home for yourself . go home for josslyn . show her how you live with grief . i know you can do that . you can do anything for your kids . [ scene_break ] dante : what do you want me to say ? am i looking forward to my father going over every detail ? of course , i 'm not . jordan : then , why are you gon na put yourself through that ? dante : because i owe it to my brother . to bear witness to the truth of why he died . [ scene_break ] sonny : i already know what happened . i called off the hit . it was too late to save my son . jason : you know what ? you need to wise up and start listening to me . because that 's not what happened . that 's not what happened at all . [ next_on ] elizabeth ( to franco ) : clearly something is wrong . what is it ? nina ( to valentin ) : you do n't need to feel sorry for griffin munro . anna ( to griffin ) : being a parent is a forever job . are you up to it ? nelle ( to carly ) : i have something for you . it 's from sonny . dante : sorry , diane , but it 's already too late . sonny ( to jason ) : i 'm not responsible for my son 's death ?
once morgan 's funeral is over , sonny confesses that he 's responsible for morgan 's death . carly sobs when sonny apologizes for not listening to her pleas to stop the cycle of violence . he begs michael not to blame himself and now wants to atone by going to jail . sonny asks dante to take him in , but jordan steps up and refuses to arrest him . she just wants to take him to the police station for questioning . jason objects but sonny wo n't listen to him . although sonny refuses to call his lawyer , jason contacts diane . jordan advises dante to spare himself and not to be present during sonny 's interview , but he wants to know the truth . jason bribes himself into the interrogation room and urges sonny to listen to him , because his hit on julian did not cause morgan 's death . andré approaches carly with words of comfort and agrees to talk to her about what was going on with morgan before he died . carly finds it hard to leave the church , but jax encourages her to go home for josslyn 's sake . before giving sonny 's letter to carly , nelle opens the envelope , reads it , then reseals it .
<s>[INST] sonny : before anybody else leaves , i 'd like to say something . my son is gone . i ca n't believe he 's gone . he 's not coming back and i know half of you , or maybe even most of you , blame me . [ voice breaking ] but you ca n't blame me any more than i blame myself . morgan 's life was not easy . [ sobs ] he deserves to be at peace , but that ca n't happen because of me . because of what i did . there 's only one way he can be at peace , and i know how to make it happen . it 's the only way i know how . jason : whoa , whoa , whoa . [ scene_break ] nina : come on , j. i promise , i have everything under control . just stay at the restaurant and make wedding plans and just smile and nod and do everything the bride and her mom say .

[ scene_break ] laura : so , hayden is stable now ? oh , thank you so much , dr. finn . yes , yes . well , please keep me posted , and if there is anything at all that i can do , please let me know . valentin : hold on a moment . i do n't have keys yet . i was waiting for your caretaker . he does n't seem to be showing up , so lucky for me you came along when you did . may i ? laura : it 's your house now . valentin : so it is . please , after you . [ scene_break ] scott : okay . i 'm here for our secret meeting . i do n't know why you would pick a place that does n't serve alcohol . ava : oh . well , i assumed you carry your own flask -- some bottom - shelf bourbon aged for a few months in a fine , plastic jug . scott : well , i do like the finer things in life . that 's why i 'm hanging out with you . ava : eh . scott : not to mention the fact that you 're rich and you 're always in trouble . why are you wearing black ? ava : well , i 'm -- i 'm actually thinking about attending morgan 's funeral . scott : well , you know , sometimes grief can make people more forgiving . i mean , i know that you switched out morgan 's medication for those dum - dum drops . but carly and sonny , they do n't . ava : i think it 's only a matter of time , though , before they find out . [ scene_break ] jason : sonny , what are you doing ? dante : sonny , come on . sonny : my life has been smothered by so much violence , and that violence smothered my son 's life . morgan ... [ sobs ] morgan had his future in front of him . h - h - he had so much that he wanted to do , but that 's -- he 's not gon na have that chance because of me . and i want to make it clear ... ... that i 'm responsible for morgan 's death . me , no one else . [ sighs ] jordan : mr. corinthos ... are you confessing to causing of the death of your son morgan ? sonny : i 'll tell you everything . i just need to get this out . jason : hey , sonny . do n't do this . do n't do it . sonny : i can do it . i can do it . i just want to be able to tell -- i want to talk to the people who loved morgan . jason : do you know what you 're doing ? sonny : yes . i got it . i got it . carly ... you came to me months ago , and you asked me to change after our son almost got shot and kiki got shot saving him . you said to me that -- you asked me to stop the cycle of the violence , and i promised you that i would try . i 'm sorry , sweetheart . [ voice breaking ] i broke that promise . carly : [ sobbing ] sonny : and now , our beautiful boy has lost his life . michael ... what you said was right . morgan always forgave , just like you . do n't beat yourself up because you did n't -- were n't there to protect him . that was my job . i was supposed to protect your brother . you know when parents -- you know when parents always say that when they lose a child , they wish that they could trade places ? i would give ... [ sobbing ] [ sniffles ] to trade places with him ... [ sniffles ] ... so he could be sitting right here with us in church , sitting right next to his mama . that ca n't happen . that ai n't gon na happen . nothing can change that . the only thing that i can change is to take responsibility for my action . and i will be sorry the rest of my life , and i will do everything i can to atone for this . jason : hey , hey , hey . sonny : no , it 's okay . it 's okay . 'cause i 'm not gon na need this where i 'm going . [ sniffles ] [ voice breaking ] dante , my beautiful son ... go ahead . do what needs to be done . [ sniffles ] [ scene_break ] laura : alexis explained the legal situation to me . i 'll be gone before the day 's out . valentin : well , if that 's your decision , i wo n't try to dissuade you . i was just trying to extend an olive branch . laura : i think you know what you can do with that olive branch . valentin : fair enough . but if you should change your mind about wanting to stay here , i think i should be able to accommodate you . after all , we are family . in the meantime , i think this place will be more than adequate for me ... and my daughter . [ scene_break ] nina : i got it . i 'm hanging up , okay ? bye . [ sighs ] i love my brother . i love him . he 's a worrier , huge worrier , so while he 's up there at the restaurant making wedding plans , you and i are going to play . what do you want to play first ? charlotte : paper dolls . nina : paper dolls ? really ? do you even know where you are ? i can definitely make that happen . charlotte : oh . [ scene_break ] scott : so , lucy saw you getting rid of morgan 's pill bottle . ava : and she confronted me . and then , fortunately , she jumped to the wrong conclusion that the reason i had the meds in the first place was that morgan and i had drifted into another illicit affair . scott : well , that could be reason enough for morgan to take a mood stabilizer . ava : lucy , she promised to keep her mouth shut for now , but i 'm concerned that if i make one wrong move , you know , she 'll run straight to sonny and carly . scott : right . so , if lucy did n't have the lithium bottle of pills , you 'd have nothing to worry about . ava : shh ! but , scotty , she does have the bot -- she has the bottle , with the pills still in it . and if she brings those pills to sonny and carly , and if they find out that those are placebos in that bottle , and lucy tells them that she saw me throwing that bottle away ... scott : right . they would know that you had switched the pills . ava : exactly . and i 'll be dead . scott : yeah . well , if i was you , i 'd lay low . ava : no , no , no . no , there 's no statute of limitations with sonny . whether it 's now or a month from now or a year from now or a decade from now , if he finds out what i did ... scott : yeah . vengeance is his . ava : yes ! right ! so , scotty ... you know what needs to be done . scott : i do . you need to get a new dye job and jump the first freighter to cuba . ava : scotty , i need to get those pills from lucy . and by `` i , `` i mean you .

[ scene_break ] sonny : where do you want to do this ? dante : you got to call diane . you have to have your attorney in there with you when you 're being questioned . sonny : no . i do n't need my attorney . as soon as we get this out in the open , the better . jordan : all right . then you can wait in there . hey , dante , i need a word with you . dante : we 'll be right back . what 's the problem ? jordan : i just want to -- just talk with you about sonny before he takes his statement . hey , can you make sure that you watch the door ? officer : sure . jordan : thank you . jason : hey . take a break . officer : you got it . [ door opens ] jason : sonny . sonny : what are you doing here ? jason : you 're making a mistake . [ scene_break ] kevin : how does he make a claim to any of this ? laura : [ sighs ] it 's a very long , sad , chauvinistic story that ends with valentin taking possession of this house and everything else . so , i have to move out now . want to help me pack ? kevin : well , as fun as that sounds , i would wager that valentin would n't mind if you just sent for your things . so , what do you say we get out of here ? laura : [ chuckles ] yeah . where do i go ? kevin : to the mainland so we can brainstorm and figure out what for you to do next . laura : hmm . that does sound like a good idea . kevin : great . let 's go . laura : uh , except that i do know what i 'm gon na do . i 'm gon na move in with dante and lulu . kevin : yeah . yeah . you mentioned that . laura : what ? kevin : well , i was just thinking , you know , i have all this extra room . well , you 're welcome to stay with me .

[ scene_break ] jordan : i can take it from here . dante : what are you saying ? i ca n't be in the room ? jordan : i 'm saying i 'm giving you the option to sit this one out . jason : okay , listen up now . we do n't have a lot of time . do n't worry about what you said in the church , okay ? i called diane . she 's on her way . she 's gon na get you out of this . sonny : i do n't want to get out of it . i 'm gon na make a full confession , i 'm gon na plead guilty , then i 'm gon na go to prison for the rest of my life , and that does n't seem like enough . jax : sonny , please , under no circumstances should you plead guilty to any crime .

[ scene_break ] kevin : i really like to spend time with you . i mean , like , a lot . and i happen to have an extra room . laura : that 's a really sweet offer . i , uh ... i 've already made these arrangements . i 'm gon na stick with that . kevin : well , yeah . you told me . laura : you know , we just restarted our relationship , and i do n't think that sharing the same space would necessarily be a great idea right now . it 's just that the last thing i need in my life right now is for you to start resenting all my idiosyncrasies . kevin : well , idiosyncrasies make us who we are . laura : really ? kevin : really . laura : what if i snore ? kevin : you do . hey , hey , i 'm just happy to be able to hear it at all , if you know what i mean . and time spent with you made it worth taking a bullet .

[ scene_break ] steffy : things could have been so different . liam : yeah . it did n't really turn out the way we planned , did it ? but it does n't do either of us any good to live with regret , either . steffy : yeah , agreed . but , liam , i will always ... my feelings for you will never change . ivy : uh [ chuckles ] am i interrupting something ? steffy . what 's going on ? [ scene_break ] brooke : i do n't want you to get hurt . caroline : you have n't been here , brooke . i have been hurt , terribly , by your son . brooke : by your own actions . you betrayed rick . caroline : i kissed another man , and that was not the best choice , but rick is the one who did the betraying . brooke : look , i did n't mean to touch a nerve . but rick does hold you accountable for your actions , and i get it . a lot has happened . you both hurt each other . caroline : i 'll give you that . brooke : i can see how you 'd get swept up in the idea of ridge . but you 're not the first woman , and you 're not gon na be the last . caroline : and , again , brooke , you have n't been here , so you have n't seen what ridge and i have been through together . brooke : i do n't need to see that . i 've seen it countless times -- how women think they have this cosmic connection with ridge , and then they think they can just ... caroline : that they can just what ? brooke : they can replace me . caroline : oh , my god . are -- are you serious ? brooke : if you think you have a future with ridge ... caroline : who says i do n't ? brooke : oh , boy . caroline : what ? brooke : caroline , if i wanted to have ridge back , i could have him ... just ... like ... that . [ scene_break ] bill : tell me you want this as much as i do . katie : i miss our life together . i do . i miss our marriage . i miss who we were together . but i do n't know how to go back to that . bill : we do n't . we move forward , smarter , more prepared . listen , i think we needed that time apart , so we could fully appreciate and understand each other . katie : maybe you 're right . i - i have new perspective on how unique we were and how we understood each other and how we encouraged the best parts of each other . bill : and leaned on each other and pushed when necessary . you were my perfect partner . you encouraged me when i needed it . you got on me when i needed that . you challenged me . that 's always who you 've been , katie . you 've given me so much -- first and foremost , a son . katie : [ chuckles ] bill : yes , i have liam and wyatt , but i was n't there to raise them . you gave me the gift of will . and we 've been -- you know , we 've been doing okay splitting time . but i do n't want that anymore . i do n't want to be a part - time parent . katie : i do n't want that , either . i hate it , but if you just want me because i 'm the mother of your -- bill : i want you ... because you 're will 's mother . yes , that 's true . but that 's just a small part of a much bigger picture . i want you ... because you 're always the smartest woman in the room , because you 're sexy as hell . i want you because i 've never met anybody more stubborn than i am . and i want you because you excite me . and , most importantly , i want you because when you look at me that certain way you do , you inspire me to be the man that you believe i am . so , let 's not lose another moment . let 's put our family back together . you know , will is young enough that he wo n't even remember a time when we were apart . katie : [ chuckles ] bill : i love you , my katie . say you 'll marry me .Summarize.[/INST]liam tells steffy that she wo n't even recognize fc anymore . he wants to take it back to it 's roots , to a place she can be proud of . liam says they can wait the year but there will be no company to come back to . they can pool their resources now and erase what rick has done and get it back to its original place with her family . brooke asks rick to tell caroline that he wants her back . maya speaks out and tells her that eric tried this and it did not work with him and it will not work with her either . rick tells his mother that he appreciates her concern but he has moved on . it is not with caroline . bill walks in on katie and will and says he is home .maybe if he says that enough it will come true . he tells her brooke is home so she should go see her like he did . she asks how that went . he says good , they said what needed to be said . he told her there was only one woman he wanted to spend his life with and he hopes that she does too . he says moving forward could make their bond even stronger . he needed time away from brooke and now he knows what he wants – katie and his family . ivy helps aly with some of her details for her shoe line but warns her that the way rick feels about her now that might not be a good thing . she might want to stay away from ivy . maya says she is only a model and not a spencer or from a family of privilege but there is nothing wrong with her . brooke says no , nothing wrong but rick moved on way too soon and now is brandishing guns . rick says that caroline is just another liar like amber . he says the divorce papers have been signed and he has moved on and caroline is with ridge so she has moved on too . as sickening as it is , perhaps it is for the best . steffy does n't like the idea with spencer . liam tells her she can keep her job at international or come back and help him run the company . he needs her to make this work . she needs to join forces with him . she says she will never sell her shares , neither will thomas but she will try to figure something out . liam tells her to go talk to her dad , because if they work together there is nothing they ca n't do . katie tells bill that she believes he means it , today and this moment . he says always and he hopes she wants it too . steffy looks at pix of liam at his place and jokes that he gets around with the brunette forrester 's .amsterdam and paris . she just hopes it wo n't be aspen too as that was their place . he says so many places reminds him of her . things did not turn out for them as planned . she says her feelings for him will never change . they hug as ivy walks through the door . she asks if she is interrupting anything . maya thanks rick for what he said and says it reaffirms that he really wants her in his life . he assures her that is so .</s>

[ scene_break ] sami : what are you laughing at ? e.j . : i 'm just glad you have n't gone completely mother theresa on me . i 'd hate to think you were no longer the passionate woman who made love to me that night . sami : made love ? are you insane ? you raped me . e.j . : no . you see , that would imply some kind of resistance on your part . you can think whatever you want to , samantha , but we both know the reason that you did n't put up a fight is because you wanted it just as much as i did . [ scene_break ] victor : if belle and shawn refuse to come back , it 's your job to convince them . lucas : look , i 'm a persuasive guy , but this is their child we 're talking about . so i 'll ask you again -- what if they say no ? victor : then you do whatever you have to , to bring the baby back . lucas : oh , i get it . so one good kidnaping deserves another ? is that what you 're telling me ? victor : they 're the kidnappers . claire is legally mine . and philip 's , of course . lucas : i should have known . i should have known this was your angle . the answer is no . i 'm not gon na do it . victor : you owe me . lucas : i do owe you . i owe you a lot . and i tried to repay your generosity by being loyal and hardworking , but i ca n't do this . this is not a part of my job description . victor : not the way i see it . you want to talk about loyalty , son ? this is what it means to me -- you 're either with us or against us . so it seems like it 's time for you to make a decision , lucas . whose side are you on ? [ scene_break ] sami : i hated every second of your pawing -- every slimy , disgusting second . e.j . : me thinks the lady doth protest too much . sami : look , i did n't come here to argue with you ... or revisit that awful night . e.j . : then why did you come ? sami : because i know you . and i know what kind of despicable things you 're capable of , especially if you think that you 've been betrayed . so i just want to make sure you know that i did not -- i did n't tell anyone what happened that night . you have no reason to target me or my family . e.j . : samantha , my darling , why do you ever think that i would target you ? sami : because i am the last person who can make sure you go to prison . e.j . : that 's debatable . i mean , you did n't really see me do anything , did you ? and as much as the idea of putting you on the witness stand is appealing -- you know , your little legs crossed demurely , your skirt riding up your thigh , maybe just so i get to see a little bit of your leg -- darling , i would n't put you through it . i love you too much . i would not touch a hair on your head . sami : so , you 're sure . you 're sure i 'm not on your hit list ? e.j . : hit list ? my darling , i 'm sure i do n't have a hit list . i think you 've been watching too many old movies . sami : just promise me . all i want is for you to be out of my life . e.j . : hmm . you see , my love , i think that 's the last thing that you want .

[ scene_break ] lucas : so , that 's my choice ? that 's it ? it 's us versus them ? victor : precisely . lucas : you are unbelievable . you are truly one in a million . you pull every dirty trick in the book to snatch their baby away from them , and then when shawn and belle do n't roll over and play dead , you have the nerve to act surprised ? they 're only doing the same thing you 'd do , except you 'd probably pay somebody to do it . victor : well , i see you 've made your decision . lucas : look , i do n't want to be your enemy . but i do n't agree with what you and philip are doing , and i do n't want any part of it . victor : well , i imagine you 'll be taking your opinion and your strong moral code along with you to your next position . lucas : you ca n't be serious . victor : here is my decision , lucas . you will get on the next flight to toronto and bring claire home or you can start searching the want ads .

[ sighs ] come on , boys . why do n't we get out of here and go get us some ice cream , huh ? just one big happy family . what do you say ? ciao . derek : ms. falconeri . olivia : what do you want ? derek : i just came from seeing your cousin . sonny : who 's this ? olivia : derek wells . connie 's boss . derek : oh , you must be sonny . i 've seen your picture around the office and in the newspaper . in any case , it 's , uh -- it 's good luck i ran into you . i understand the elq piece caused some , um , tension at home . i would just like you to know that it was my call to publish the story . connie asked me not to do it . she , uh , practically got down on her knees and begged . i would n't budge . you know , if i were you , uh , i 'd hold on to that one . never let go of a woman who would do anything for you . sam : ellie . ellie . do you have any word on the last run of dna testing ? ellie : i should really let the doctor deliver that news . alexis : ellie , please . we really need an answer . ellie : yes . sam : yes ? ellie : there 's match . sam : oh ! alexis : oh , thank god ! yes ! sam : can you believe it ? mom . alexis : i think i can . sam : i think so . derek : oh , good news , i hope . alexis : uh , we 've found a donor match . derek : what ? you 're kidding me . that 's amazing ! well , how soon can they -- can they schedule the transplant ? alexis : that depends on you . sam : you , yeah . derek : uh , i do n't follow . how does scheduling a surgery depend on me ? alexis : because you 're the match . connie : why is derek so interested in sonny 's business ? michael : aj , you here ? derek : ava , it 's julian . call me . we need to talk . sonny : there was a mob family in the ' 80s who pretty much ran port charles , and they were called the jeromes . connie : what ? i - i -- why have n't i heard of them ? sonny : the father was named victor jerome . he 's dead . so are two of his kids -- olivia and julian . connie : julian . there was a son named julian . and he 's calling ava . i know what i heard , julian . sonny needs to hear it , too . [ gasps ] luke : i 'm not sure how much longer i can stick around . i 've got to get back on the trail of that cure , so if i disappear without any goodbyes ... laura : yeah . i will try to run some interference for you with lulu , but you know how she is . luke : she 's like her mother . laura : oh , i think she 's a bit like her dad , too . luke : [ chuckles ] laura : [ chuckles ] listen , luke , please -- please travel safely , and if you need anything at all , do n't hesitate to call me . luke : and do n't you be jumping out of any airplanes on my behalf . [ smooches ] laura : i wo n't . luke : take care of yourself . laura : you , too . spinelli : i - i am at a loss for words . dante : well , there 's a first for everything , right ? spinelli : she is so beautiful . and i - i - i know it 's not genetically possible , but if i might be so bold , she bears a slight resemblance to maxie . lulu : well , she 's got plenty of maxie in her . georgie : and spinelli , too . spinelli : you know , speaking of maxie , i should -- i should really go find her , so ... lulu : okay . can you let her know that we will come see her soon , okay ? spinelli : yeah .

mac quips about the irony of sonny corinthos being a grandfather . sonny , olivia , luke , and laura go to look at their new granddaughter through the nicu window . olivia says it is wonderful to see that her granddaughter is not a dog . she retells her vision to a confused laura . luke tells laura that he is leaving to resume his quest for a cure and asks her to run interference with lulu while he is gone . maxie sees herself on the table from outside of her body and realizes that she must be dying . she sees her sister , georgie , wearing scrubs . georgie tells maxie that she has to fight . maxie says that if she dies , no one will ever have to know that dante and lulu 's baby is n't really theirs . georgie reminds her that other people , specifically ellie , know the truth . she asks what she thinks her death would do to her newlywed parents as felicia and mac wonder why maxie is n't in recovery yet . georgie takes maxie to the nicu where dante and lulu are letting spinelli hold the baby . georgie tells maxie not to leave all the people who love her . she kisses mac and felicia before disappearing .

[ scoffs ] rude much ? um , not to be demanding , but could n't i at least get a wheelchair ? i did just have my uterus cut open . or am i supposed to cartwheel to recovery ? i guess this girl needs more attention than me . wait a minute . she looks kind of familiar . was she in the last issue of crimson ? oh , my god . that 's me . [ footsteps approaching ] elizabeth : hey , buddy . what are you doing awake ? cameron : i ca n't sleep . elizabeth : come here . mm . me neither .

michael : that you 'd let me down . that you 'd disappoint me . that you should have never come back . aj : michael , please , i -- michael : they said that i would be better off with you dead and gone . and you know what ? they 're right . so , uh , why do n't you do me a favor , okay , and put us both out of our misery and just -- just kill yourself and be done with it . with the paper ? sam : he owns it . alexis : along with a host of other enterprises . he had originally agreed to put danny 's story on the front page , but -- sam : yeah , he did , but a more important story took precedence . alexis : obviously , he 's not her favorite person . mac : yeah , but he agreed to be tested as a potential match . alexis : yeah . it was his idea . i may have guilted him into it , slightly . felicia : well , guilted or not , it sounds like there 's a heart in there somewhere . mac : and maybe some useful bone marrow , too . sam : well , that would be amazing . but he 's a long shot , just like everyone else . alexis : anyone who is n't a relative . derek : you want my help with sonny ?

connie : coffee importer . derek : let me guess . sonny 's business came between you two . connie : no , yours did when you ran that elq story over my loud objections . derek : oh . so , it was sonny 's confidence you broke when you wrote the piece . connie : yes , that 's right . derek : huh . well , you know , i am surprised he does n't understand . sonny is an entrepreneur , is he not ? i mean , you were just trying to save a failing business . connie : by going back on a promise i made to him . he trusted me . i broke his trust . derek : maybe you 're better off . connie : excuse me ? ! derek : a woman like you is , um , wasted on someone as un - evolved as sonny . connie : he 's not a caveman . derek : close enough . sonny should find someone more his speed ... and spend his time with her . olivia : i can not believe that my little baby who was afraid of slugs and centipedes -- dante : whoa , whoa , whoa ... lulu : wait , he was ? ! dante : i was n't afraid of them . i was n't afraid of them . i was a little bit cautious . it was a long time ago . luke : little bit cautious with centipedes . olivia : well , no , no . i 'm serious . i ca n't imagine having to watch my friend get cut open and not only be praying for the safety of the baby but the safety of my friend . dante : well , it was , uh -- it was nerve - wracking , but , honestly , like lulu said , we did n't see much of it . and spinelli was in the viewing room with me . sonny : spinelli ? what was he doing in the o.r . ? dante : he was worried about maxie . and , to be honest , i was grateful . when you -- when you 're looking at your baby that you love and her life is at stake , you take support wherever you can get it . maxie : the baby 's okay , is n't she ? did you see -- i got to cut the cord ? georgie : i saw . maxie : so surreal . after all these months , i was letting her go . literally . maybe it 's time to just let me go , too . georgie : you ca n't believe that . maxie : why not ? my daughter 's taken care of . she 's safe with two parents who will absolutely adore her , and if i die , my secret will just go with me . georgie : it wo n't . maxie : what do you mean ? georgie : come with me . i 'll show you . felicia : i wish we 'd hear something about maxie . mac : hey , i 'm sure stitching her up takes time . felicia : i know , but so much time ? i think we need to talk to somebody . mac : okay . let 's go get some answers . uh , listen , keep us posted about the donor drive . alexis : absolutely . mac : okay . felicia : all right . we 'll be thinking about you . we wish you luck with the donor . sam : thank you . alexis : thank you . sam : mac and felicia ... can you give maxie a big hug for me , please ? mac : you got it . sam : thank you . spinelli : ellie , i have the utmost faith in you , but how could you possibly know what maxie was gon na tell me ? you were n't there . ellie : no . no , i know i was n't there . but ... damian , i know something . it 's something big , and it has to do with maxie . georgie : you see ? you 're not the only one keeping this secret . if you died , the truth can still come out . spinelli : you care to elaborate ? maxie : no ! she does n't . georgie : maxie , you ca n't stop her . she 's about to have the courage to do something you have n't . spinelli : ellie ? maxie : damn it , ellie ! you stay out of this , if not for me , than for you ! you will lose him . georgie : maybe she 's willing to take that risk . maxie : make her stop . georgie : i ca n't stop her , and neither can you . but maybe , if you were n't in that o.r . room giving up ... spinelli : ellie , you 're scaring me . what 's going on ? ellie : maxie 's been lying to you ... about the baby . michael : wait , aj was drinking ? elizabeth : at the floating rib . michael : how much ? how much did he have ? elizabeth : a lot . i tried to stop him , but i could n't . michael : what you just -- you just left him there ?

[ sighs ] i 'm sorry . i just was n't thinking clearly . things got really heated between the two of us . your dad said some things he should n't have . michael : like what ? elizabeth : things about jake . bottom line -- aj went too far , and so i left . michael : elizabeth , i 'm sorry . elizabeth : it 's not your fault . michael : look , whatever aj said , i 'm sure he did n't mean it . elizabeth : i hope to god that 's true . aj : michael , why are you saying that ? michael : well , because you need to hear it . aj : huh ? michael : you need to know you had your chance , and you blew it . aj : what chance ? michael : with me . i mean , you promised me everything i never had , you know ? a relationship with my real father , a - a place in the family where i came from . aj : you -- you have that . michael : yeah , right , i do . like i want any part of this . look , just face it , aj all your dreams went to hell , okay ? just like everything else you touch . aj : no . michael : i - i - i do n't want anything to do with you . aj : wait , you do n't mean that . michael , whatever happened , we can get past it . you 're my son . sonny : actually , he 's my son . michael : see , yeah , that 's -- that 's my father , okay ? not you . you 'll never be anything to me . michael : uh , hi . i 'm , uh -- i 'm calling about a customer tonight . he might -- he might still be there . his name 's aj quartermaine . he got a cab ? when ? okay , do you have any idea where it took him ? aj : you get out of here . you 're not welcome here . sonny : no , i think i 'm gon na just stick around . aj : michael , michael , get away from him ! michael : what ? you mean my real father ? sonny : [ chuckles ] michael : the one raise me , the one who took care of me while you were off hiding like some coward ? aj : you 're not his son . sonny : i could have sworn that you signed over your parental rights . aj : you hung on a meat hook ! sonny : yeah , yeah ... aj : yeah . he threatened to kill me , michael . do you know what he said to me ? you know what he -- he said he 'd make it look like i died in a car crash . sonny : like the drunk you are . aj : and what are you , huh ? a scum - of - the - earth mobster , makes your money off guns and whores ?

[ scene_break ] david : all right , greenlee , what 's going on ? you 've been begging me to get you out of here as soon as possible , away from ryan , erica , everyone here . so what 's changed ? greenlee : me . i thought i could just move on , except that the dream i 'd held on to since i woke up had turned into just that -- a dream . bringing fusion to its knees was supposed to take something from erica , but she did n't lose anything . she just turned what i did into another one of her p.r . stunts . she was on tv tonight holding a press conference , preening , assuring the world that erica kane will not be brought to her knees . she 's gon na use this to put her mark on fusion for good , make it all hers . that 's when i realized my mistake . i was wrong to hit fusion , and i was wrong to do it in secret . david : whatever fighting face erica is putting on for the press , fusion is a mess . hubbard made that very clear to me tonight when he was questioning me . greenlee : yeah , but it 's not enough . the year i was out of it cost me more than all that time . i lost my edge , too . but thanks to you , i 'm awake . and thanks to erica , i realize what i need to do . she called her cyber attacker a coward . as much as i hate to agree with erica on anything , she was right . it was a coward 's way out . erica dropped the gauntlet tonight . she dared whoever did this to go one - on - one with her . so that 's exactly what i intend to do . [ scene_break ] colby : there mu -- there must be a mistake . we have to see another doctor . j.r. : colby , there 's no mistake . it 's lymphoma . colby : why did n't you tell me ? j.r. : because i did n't want to upset everyone . that 's why i tried to keep it from all of you . look , there 's enough turbulence in our family right now . i do n't need people standing around me , waiting to see if i 'm gon na die or not . colby : but what about dad ? does he know ? j.r. : but he thinks that i 'm in remission , ok ? colby : so you told dad before you told me . j.r. : hey . yeah . but i 'm telling you right now , ok ? and i 'm asking you not to tell anybody else , because i am fighting this as hard as i can right now . i can get into remission , all right ? i 've already been there . colby : you were in remission , and it came back ? j.r. : i did n't want to worry you . colby : my god ! not worry , j.r. ? no , no , no , no . you ca n't be sick , ok ? i -- i need you ! marissa : colby , i know that you 're upset and angry , but you just need to calm down , ok ?

[ scene_break ] brot : so , liza kick you out of there ? natalia : you called her , did n't you ? brot : heh . the boy has his rights . i just hope you learned your lesson . natalia : the only lesson i learned is that you can be a real jerk , brot . [ scene_break ] colby : thanks for calling me . liza : ok , get in here . is it true ? you invited damon to stay the night with you at the mansion ? colby : yes , i did . he stayed the night with me in my room . damon : bailey , wait . bailey : no , damon . leave me alone . i never want to see you again . [ scene_break ] jesse : and you had no idea that some lethal flash drive was hidden in your apartment ? ryan : nope . but i got a theory on that . jesse : oh , good . i love theories . ryan : greenlee was very possessive of fusion , right ? i mean , she loved that company . and i think this drive was her nuclear option in case something happened to the company , in case she got pushed out of this company that she loved so much . jesse : so greenlee wrote the worm ? ryan : no , not herself , but it would have been just like her to commission something like that and then keep it very well hidden . jesse : ok , well , i can buy most of that . but then you sort of slam into a big brick wall . how did david know where it was ? greenlee has been gone for a year now ? [ scene_break ] david : you 're being impulsive . erica is goading the guilty party to come clean so she can nail them . if you do this now , then you 're playing right into her hands . we need to stick to our original plan and get the hell out of here . you stay around and fight , and you 're going to get nothing but trouble . greenlee : you 're wrong . i 'll get my dignity back . erica has always hated me , always tried to bring me to my knees , but she never could , not until i was dead . now she thinks she 's succeeded . she took my company , and she took ryan . she 's getting deep personal satisfaction in humiliating a dead woman . david : all right . what is this really about ? is it about fusion , erica , ryan ? greenlee : i told you . i do n't give a damn about ryan . he could come crawling to me on his hands and knees right now , and i would n't look at him sideways . erica can have him . i just want her claws out of my company . david : so you have no feelings for him whatsoever ? greenlee : i feel betrayed , yes . i mean , his undying love for me died pretty quickly . first , he slipped into kendall 's bed and then into her mother 's . i will make ryan regret what he did , just like i 'll bring down erica , but i 'm not going to do that by running away . i have to stay and fight . so am i going to be doing that on my own , david , or are you going to stay and fight with me ? [ scene_break ] damon : you have to believe me . nothing happened between me and colby . i went to her because i needed some money to get out of town , that 's all . she actually convinced me to stay and fight for you . but how can i do that ? how can i fight for you if you wo n't believe me ? bailey : this is what , the third time we 've been in a police station , damon ? and now your alibi is being in another girl 's bedroom . damon : i love you , bailey . i love our son . bailey : i love our son , too . that 's why i ca n't do this anymore . good - bye , damon . liza : whoa . whoa . where are you going ? damon : look , my lawyer says you can either arrest me or let me go . which is it ? [ natalia sighs ] natalia : get out of here . liza : listen to me . the police called damon in to start asking him questions . bailey called me . i had no idea how deep you were into this . colby : i know what you 're up to . you want damon to go to jail , break up with bailey , and you can work on getting stuart back . maybe even bailey , too . a new daughter . maybe get this one right . liza : seriously , do you know how ridiculous you sound ? besides , fighting for stuart ? that was your idea . colby : mom , putting damon in jail is not gon na get stuart back -- liza : that is not what i am doing here . and besides , i do n't care about anyone else here but you . colby : but , mom , you and dad and everybody just want me to behave , not rock the boat . nobody can be bothered with colby right now . all this stuff is going down , and i am stuck in the middle of it like an avalanche , and i ca n't breathe , and i need help ! liza : honey , wait a second . what is going on ? what is it ? colby : it 's j.r . liza : j -- j.r. what is it ? what with j.r. ? colby : no , no . i need to get out of here . liza : honey , talk to me . please let me help you . colby : no . liza : just stay away from damon , ok ? colby : you know , mom , i 'll sleep with whoever i want .

kyle : she 'll be okay , but can you take care of her ? phyllis : oh , yeah . yeah . of course . can you stand ? summer : mm - hmm . chelsea : oh , uh , sorry , we 're all out of sangria . um ... how about a water ? abby : uh , nothing to see here , everyone . just keep moving , um ... you know , i heard that indio took her top off on the dance floor ! nate : what 's his pulse ? elena : about 150 . nate : oh , boy . devon : am i gon na die ? elena : breathe with me . no , you 're gon na be fine . you 're gon na be fine . breathe with me . in ... hold ... sharon : you 're such a good man . you did n't deserve this . rey : no , no , no . it was n't -- it was n't your fault . sharon : yes . yes , it was . rey : no ... sharon : see , i ca n't be happy without ruining it . rey : [ sighs ] things -- things just -- they just did n't work out . sharon : no , it was never adam . it was always you . sharon . sharon ?

kyle : someone spiked the drinks with mdma . rey : no , no , no . sharon takes medication . we do n't know how it 'll interact with illegal drugs . i got to call the precinct . theo : uh , hey , you know , we do n't have to get the cops involved , eh ? rey : they 're already involved . hello , yeah , this is , uh , detective rey rosales . i need to report a medical emergency , possible mass drugging . theo : oh , this is gon na be bad for all of us . rey : sharon ... kyle : this is not happening again . lola : nate , we need your help . nate : uh , i ca n't right now . but i can get my bag . elena : he ca n't , he 's had the sangria . just bring sharon over here . i already called 911 . the paramedics are on their way . i can take care of sharon and devon until they get here . lola : okay , thank you . phyllis : summer , honey , you 're gon na be all right . you 'll be okay . um ... hey , tessa . tessa : yeah . phyllis : can you -- can you just stay with summer for one sec , please ? tessa : uh , yeah . okay , yeah . summer : oh ! tessa : your outfit is so pretty . summer : will you sing to me ? tessa : summer is so pretty [ laughter ] and so accomplished and she looks really good in pink chelsea : we stopped serving the sangria . the paramedics are on their way . i spoke to the parking valet . nobody under the influence is getting their keys . & abby : is it possible that we have this situation handled ? chelsea : i -- i think so , yeah . as best we can . abby : who are we kidding ? this is a nightmare . i knew about the tremors . rey : excuse me . i want to fill paul in on what 's happening . paul : this is a real mess . rey : you got that right . so far , everyone that 's effected drank the sangria , including myself . paul : are you all right ? rey : no , i 'm furious . whoever spiked the drinks could have killed someone , and the mdma mixed with sharon and devon 's other medications , they 've had more serious reactions . paul : was the sangria made - to - order , or was -- rey : no , no , no . the pitchers were on the bar . paul : right out in the open , right here on the bar . okay , well , hopefully the security cameras caught the culprit in action . kyle : [ sighs ] about what you saw between me and summer ... lola : it was a shock . but it 's okay . i know that it was all on summer 's end , and she was n't in her right mind . kyle : she had no idea what she was doing . i could have been anyone . lola : i do n't know about that , kyle . i do n't think summer is completely over you . kyle : that 's a huge leap . it was a weird moment . it 's over . hopefully we can all act like it never happened . lola : believe me , i would really want nothing more , but ... that seems unlikely . paul : so , how 's everything over here ? elena : well , the paramedics said devon and sharon should fully recover , but i do n't think they 're up to talking to you tonight . paul : that 's all right . that can wait until tomorrow . but they 're both going to have to have their blood drawn tonight for the tox screen , right ? elena : and they will . i 'm taking nate and devon to the hospital right now . nate : i can , uh , take my own blood . elena : no , you can't . and lola 's taking sharon and rey . paul : all right . oh . i 'm really glad you were n't affected by all this , considering everything that you 've been through . and i understand you were the one that told rey about the mdma . how did you know ? kyle : summer told me . she heard it from theo . paul : ah . got it . then i 'd like to talk to theo next . kyle : he 's right over there . phyllis : well , this is one hell of an evening , girls . abby : wow , yeah , it turns out that , uh , shirley temple was a good decision , huh ? chelsea : and a curious one . phyllis : [ scoffs ] no , i did n't have the sangria , but , you know , my daughter did , and i 'm sure you guys would n't be implying that i would knowingly put my own daughter in danger , right ? abby : no , no . of course you wouldn't . we know that , um ... how is summer doing ? phyllis : she 's not well . i 'm taking her to the hospital . find another scapegoat . paul : hey , theo . i do n't think we 've met . i 'm chief williams . theo : sir . paul : i understand you were one of the first people to realize that the drinks were laced with mdma . where did that idea come from ? theo : uh ... i mean , the way those two were dancing was a pretty big clue . mariah : that was 100 % not for your benefit , and i 'm sorry that you enjoyed it in any way . tessa : yeah , i second that . paul : okay , moving on . mariah : look , tessa and i only had one sangria each , so we probably were n't as affected as other people . summer : she 's talking about me . paul : okay , so how many sangrias did you and theo have ? two ... three ... four ? i do n't know , zoe gave me the last one . paul : i 'm sorry , zoe ? theo : zoe was a guest of theo 's . theo : no , she 's just a kid who helps me out at event sometimes . paul : a kid ? was she drinking the sangria , too ? theo : no . no . absolutely not . she was working . paul : is she still here ? theo : uh , i do n't know . tessa : i mean , she was definitely here when it all went down . i mean , all the photos are on her blog . paul : well , i 'm just guessing this is not the kind of pr that jabot would want . summer : oh , no ... kyle : i 'm gon na have a ful - blown crisis on my hands in the morning . paul : okay , you all have to get to the er to have your blood drawn . and if i have any more questions , i 'll be in touch with you tomorrow . after you 've all sobered up . any luck with the security footage ?

the grand phoenix opening is going well until zoe spikes the grand sangria signature cocktail with mdma the same drug that caused her to almost die in new york everyone at the party starts to act strangely and the drug causes summer to kiss kyle . theo figures out the sangrias were spiked with this drug and tells kyle . lola sees summer kiss kyle but he explains to her the sangrias were drugged and summer had no idea what she was doing . lola understands but she worries that summer still has feelings for kyle and that could be a problem . devon and sharon have a bad reaction since the mdma interferes with devon 's medication for panic attacks and it also interferes with sharon 's bipolar medication . devon and sharon are rushed to the hospital for a stomach pump while paul and rey question everyone . abby and chelsea suspect that phyllis drugged the cocktails to sabotage the opening of the hotel but she denies she had anything to do with it . paul tells everyone that he will continue to question everyone tomorrow when everyone is sober . kyle , abby , and chelsea worry about the bad publicity and how they will handle things . paul orders abby and chelsea to close the hotel until he has finished his investigation something that worries the ladies . phyllis stand s in a corner and smiles leaving the audience to wonder if she changed her mind and partnered with zoey to cause trouble for the opening of the hotel . .

kyle : she 'll be okay , but can you take care of her ? phyllis : oh , yeah . yeah . of course . can you stand ? summer : mm - hmm . chelsea : oh , uh , sorry , we 're all out of sangria . um ... how about a water ? abby : uh , nothing to see here , everyone . just keep moving , um ... you know , i heard that indio took her top off on the dance floor ! nate : what 's his pulse ? elena : about 150 . nate : oh , boy . devon : am i gon na die ?

sharon ? sharon ! sharon , look at me ! sharon ! lola : i found him . kyle : what the hell did you do ? theo : hey , it was n't me ! rey : sharon . sharon , it 's okay . it 's okay , sharon . it 's all right . lola : um , uh , i 'll go get nate ! theo : hey , uh , she should be coming down soon . rey : what the hell is he talking about ? kyle : someone spiked the drinks with mdma . rey : no , no , no . sharon takes medication . we do n't know how it 'll interact with illegal drugs . i got to call the precinct . theo : uh , hey , you know , we do n't have to get the cops involved , eh ? rey : they 're already involved . hello , yeah , this is , uh , detective rey rosales . i need to report a medical emergency , possible mass drugging . theo : oh , this is gon na be bad for all of us . rey : sharon ... kyle : this is not happening again . lola : nate , we need your help . nate : uh , i ca n't right now . but i can get my bag . elena : he ca n't , he 's had the sangria . just bring sharon over here . i already called 911 . the paramedics are on their way . i can take care of sharon and devon until they get here . lola : okay , thank you . phyllis : summer , honey , you 're gon na be all right . you 'll be okay . um ... hey , tessa . tessa : yeah . phyllis : can you -- can you just stay with summer for one sec , please ? tessa : uh , yeah . okay , yeah . summer : oh ! tessa : your outfit is so pretty . summer : will you sing to me ? tessa : summer is so pretty [ laughter ] and so accomplished and she looks really good in pink chelsea : we stopped serving the sangria . the paramedics are on their way . i spoke to the parking valet . nobody under the influence is getting their keys . & abby : is it possible that we have this situation handled ? chelsea : i -- i think so , yeah . as best we can . abby : who are we kidding ? this is a nightmare . i knew about the tremors . rey : excuse me . i want to fill paul in on what 's happening . paul : this is a real mess . rey : you got that right . so far , everyone that 's effected drank the sangria , including myself . paul : are you all right ? rey : no , i 'm furious . whoever spiked the drinks could have killed someone , and the mdma mixed with sharon and devon 's other medications , they 've had more serious reactions . paul : was the sangria made - to - order , or was -- rey : no , no , no . the pitchers were on the bar . paul : right out in the open , right here on the bar . okay , well , hopefully the security cameras caught the culprit in action . kyle : [ sighs ] about what you saw between me and summer ... lola : it was a shock . but it 's okay . i know that it was all on summer 's end , and she was n't in her right mind . kyle : she had no idea what she was doing . i could have been anyone . lola : i do n't know about that , kyle . i do n't think summer is completely over you . kyle : that 's a huge leap . it was a weird moment . it 's over . hopefully we can all act like it never happened . lola : believe me , i would really want nothing more , but ... that seems unlikely . paul : so , how 's everything over here ? elena : well , the paramedics said devon and sharon should fully recover , but i do n't think they 're up to talking to you tonight . paul : that 's all right . that can wait until tomorrow . but they 're both going to have to have their blood drawn tonight for the tox screen , right ? elena : and they will . i 'm taking nate and devon to the hospital right now . nate : i can , uh , take my own blood . elena : no , you can't . and lola 's taking sharon and rey . paul : all right . oh . i 'm really glad you were n't affected by all this , considering everything that you 've been through . and i understand you were the one that told rey about the mdma . how did you know ? kyle : summer told me . she heard it from theo . paul : ah . got it . then i 'd like to talk to theo next . kyle : he 's right over there . phyllis : well , this is one hell of an evening , girls . abby : wow , yeah , it turns out that , uh , shirley temple was a good decision , huh ? chelsea : and a curious one . phyllis : [ scoffs ] no , i did n't have the sangria , but , you know , my daughter did , and i 'm sure you guys would n't be implying that i would knowingly put my own daughter in danger , right ? abby : no , no . of course you wouldn't . we know that , um ... how is summer doing ? phyllis : she 's not well . i 'm taking her to the hospital . find another scapegoat . paul : hey , theo . i do n't think we 've met . i 'm chief williams . theo : sir . paul : i understand you were one of the first people to realize that the drinks were laced with mdma . where did that idea come from ?

[ scene_break ] spinelli : the jackal and his client were discussing a private matter . ethan : oh , you 're working for tracy ? spinelli : yes -- no . no , i believe that falls between client - p.i . privilege . tracy : in other words , it 's none of your business . ethan : even though it 's about me . it is about me . spinelli : it is of no such thing . the jackal was hired by the abrasive one on a tax matter . a tax matter related to the haunted star . it 's tedious work really , but i find such challenges invigorating . tracy : you do n't owe him an explanation . ethan : well , i want to help . the first thing is you should work on your tells . they 're a dead giveaway . spinelli : the jackal tells nothing . my lips are sealed . ethan : no , your tells . the way i know you 're lying . spinelli : sir , you dishonor me with such accusations . ethan : your voice goes up about three octaves when you lie . spinelli : it does no such thing . ethan : the way you play with your fingers there -- it 's a dead giveaway . if we were playing poker , i 'd clean your clock . spinelli : the jackal does n't play with his -- i am a man of honor . tracy : he is yanking your chain . ethan : no , i 'm just trying to help . all right , if you must lie , the best way is to stick as close to the truth as possible . you 'd be amazed at the trouble you can avoid . you do n't have to lie to me . i have nothing to hide . spinelli : that 's what i was trying to explain to the abrasive one . why do n't you just ask him what his -- tracy : jackass , why are you still standing here ? you have work to do . get back to me with any information you find . spinelli : it is a great honor to prove my p.i . prowess to a quartermaine . ethan : you break my heart , mrs. spencer . tracy : do n't give me the puppy dog eyes . i 'm immune . ethan : i thought you liked me . tracy : i subscribe to the belief that if it seems too good to be true , it probably is . you have an agenda . i 'm going to find out what it is .

fox : hey . listen , we 're making our final approach for l.a. , so we should really wake her up so that she ca see the city from the air . chad : no , give her a minute . you know , that nightmare she had about leaving me for another man really upset her . fox : hmm . sounds to me like she must have been freaked out by what simone said earlier , huh ? that she 's going to dump you whenomomeone better comes along . chad : you know , i told her that our relationship is too strong for anything to come between us . i never even look at other women . and whitney just does n't have it in her to step out on me . so neither of us have anything to worry about . chad : whitney , wake up . wake up . fox 's voice : wrong again , pal . you got plenty to worry about . i am going to make sure whitney 's dreams come true and that she leaves you for another man -- me . whitney : mmm . chad ? chad : yeah . whitney : what is it , honey ? chad : we 're getting ready to land . whitney : really ? oh , my god . chad : look out here . that 's where we 're going to start our new life . los angeles , california . john : charity ? charity : hi . john : i thought you could use this . charity : oh . thank you . john : i know this ca n't be easy for you , watching kay about to give birth to miguel 's baby . charity : i just love miguel so much . and it 's hard for me to accept that he and kay made love . not that i blame him . i know that evil made him think that kay was me , but -- oh , just it still hurts . john : i think it 's awesome how you 've supported miguel being with kay just before they become parents together . charity : well , they 're going to have a son or a daughter . miguel needs to be with kay right now . i just hope it 's not a sign of things to come . [ kay groans ] miguel : you 're doing fine , kay . just fine . eve : if only that were true , miguel . kay , honey , your contractions are getting closer together , and they 're more intense . the baby should be born anytime now . [ kay groans ] miguel : just try to do it like they taught us in lamaze class , all right , kay ? kay : we did n't get that far . the baby decided to come a little too soon . eve : we 're going to have to monitor kay very closely , ok ? because her blood pressure is already too high . and a long and protracted labor would just make it worse . kay : oh ! god , it hurts ! i ca n't do this anymore . miguel : yes , you can , kay . all right ? just take deep breat .. come on , keep breathing . pilar : please , god , please let kay and miguel 's baby be all right . grace : sam , i 'm so worried about kay and the baby . sam : eve is with her , ok ? she 'll do everything she can to keep the baby safe . ivy : damn it . sam and grace 's fear for kay is drawing them close again , making them reconnect . david : kay is their daughter , ivy . it 's only natural they 'd be worried about her . ivy : well , they can worry separately . i mean , sam could be comforting me . i am just as worried about gwen and ethan 's baby , our grandchild . david : it 's all about you , is n't it , ivy ? ivy : the point is you and i have worked far too hard to drive a wedge between sam and grace to have some little emergency with kay bring them back together now . this has got to be nipped in the bud , and soon . but how ? hank : luis . i thought i was getting an early start . what time did you get here ? luis : i never left . i was here all night plotting out the search for sheridan . i showered and changed here . hank : you can not keep going on like this . i mean , you got to get some shutey luis : look , i 'll sleep later , all right ? all i care about right now is finding sheridan . all right , it 's still too early to send out the search teams . you know , i want to give precious time to get mrs . wallace up and dressed . all right ? then we 're going to head over there . we 're going to search beth 's basement . we 're going to prove to this kidnapper there 's no place in harmony to hide sheridan . charlie : luis is going to be here soon to search the basement . and when he does , he 'll find sheridan , and we 'll be facing prison time . beth : charlie , you have to relax . i am sure sheridan will record the d.v.d . for us to send to luis . and then once he sees and hears that she 's fine in france and that she wants to be alone , he 'll have to accept she was n't kidnapped and he 'll stop searching for her . and then wllll be safe , ok ? charlie : ok . how did you get sheridan to agree to record the message ? beth : well , she did n't actually agree yet . charlie : what ? mrs. wallace : i knew it . beth : all of you just relax , ok ? sheridan will agree to it , trust me . i came up with a proposition that no soon - to - be mother could refuse . beth : [ distorted voice ] that 's right . if you do n't cooperate , you and your baby are both going to die . sheridan : oh , god , what am i going to do ? singer : i would hold the hand of the one who could lead me places and kiss the lips of the one who could sing so sweet and i would fly on the wings of the bird i knew could take me highest breathe in , breathe out you keep me alive you are the fire burning inside of me you are my passion for life miguel : you ok ? kay : i 'm better , now that the contraction has passed . miguel : um -- i 'm going to step out for a second , ok ? but i promise , i 'll be back before your next contraction . kay : miguel , no . please do n't leave . do n't leave me and our baby . john : you know , i wonder where tabitha went . charity : she probably went home to get some rest . it must be exhausting being pregnant at her age . john : yeah . about tabitha being pregnant -- i ca n't believe i 'm going to tell anyone this , but i saw the strangest thing last night . tabitha was talking to mr . crane , and this thing came out of her stomach and started choking him . charity : oh . well , i did have a really strange feeling about tabitha 's baby . john : i mean , you do n't think what i saw was real , do you ? charity : no . no . you know what ? it 's probably like when you thought you saw tabitha on fire . not that strange things do n't happen in harmony , but between kay 's pregnancy and your mom being torn between your father and my uncle , i think that we 're all just really on edge . john : yeah . that 's probably it . charity : i know i 'm going to feel better when kay has this baby and we know everything 's all right . miguel : ok , kay , calm down , all right ? i 'll stay for now . kay : thank you . miguel , you do n't know how glad i am that you 're here . and i know -- i know our baby is , too . we could n't get through this without you . nurse : it 's not good , is it , doctor ? eve : no . it 's exactly what i was afraid of . luis : look , it 's not that i think that beth is a suspect , but whoever kidnapped sheridan could be hiding her in her basement and beth does n't even know it . hank : thinking it 's the last place that the police would look . luis : exactly . hank : even so , you know you 're going to catch some flack about resuming the search for sheridan when there 's no proof that she was kidnapped . if anything , there 's proof she wasn't . her luggage and her passport are gone , and there was that email that she sent from paris . luis : look , antonio thinks that she went off to get some peace and quiet . hank , i 'm telling you , i know sheridan better than anybody , and she would n't leave without leaving a note or telling us where she was going . now , this whole business about her sending an email -- it does n't cut it . now , i 'm telling you , i know in my gut that something happened to sheridan . now , unless i see and hear her telling me that she left town on her own , i 'm not buying that she 's in france . hank : well , you were right when you did n't believe that she died in that boat explosion , so i ca n't dismiss what you 're feeling now . luis : well , thanks . i appreciate it . now , look , it 's still too early to go over to beth 's . i 'm going to get some fresh air , all right ? now , as soon as i get back , i 'm going over to beth 's to search her basement , all right ? sheridan : oh , my baby . i ca n't let anything happen to my baby . oh , luis , please find me . please , save me and my baby . beth : i told sheridan that if she does n't record the message , i 'll cut off her food and water . sheridan will starve to death , and so will her baby . charlie : beth , you are a genius . blondie will never risk her baby 's life by refusing to make a d.v.d . beth : i know , i know . sheridan will do anything to protect her unborn child . mrs. wallace : just when i thought you could n't get any more sick or twisted , you come up with this . this is the worst plan i have ever heard . charlie : shut your pie hole , old woman -- [ precious blows raspberry ] charlie : or i may just rip out your tongue and gag you with it . you , too , ape . so when is goldilocks going to give us her answer ? because , you know , any minute now , luis is going to be here to search the basement . beth : i know , ok ? she just needs to stew a little while longer . really let it sink in how much she and her baby will suffer before they die if she does n't cooperate . [ music plays ] chad : hey , i 'll go get us a cab . fox : what ? no , do n't do that . i 've taken care of it . i figure -- i figure since it 's our first time in l.a. , right ? whitney : uh - huh . fox : we 're going to take a little tour . we 're going to see the sights the only way you should . check this out . in a convertible . whitney : oh ! wait , wait -- that car is for us , really ?

charity : i 'm ok . hey , it 's you , kay , and the baby i 'm worried about . grace : eve , how -- how are kay and the baby ? eve : well , kay -- kay is better . i 'm still worried about her because her blood pressure is much higher than it should be . pilar : and the baby ? eve : well , you know , i 'm not going to lie to you . it does n't -- it does n't look good . sam : why ? what 's wrong ? eve : sam , you know that premature babies have any number of complications , and some of them can be very serious . kay 's baby is no exception . pilar : oh , god . eve : the ultrasound indicates that the baby 's lungs are n't fully developed yet , so when it is born , it 's not going to be able to breathe on its own . grace : oh , my god . sam : what does that mean ? eve : it means that we 're going to do everything that we possibly can . but i think that you 're going to have to prepare yourself . there is a chance that the baby wo n't make it . singer : everybody comes to hollywood want to make it in the neighborhood they like the smell of it in hollywood how could it hurt you when it looks so good ? whitney : i ca n't get over how beautiful everything is here . chad : yeah , this is the opposite of the l.a . i grew up in . you know , it 's a wlele different world once you 're out of the hood . and when i think back on how it was -- whitney : chad , don't . i mean , just do n't even go there . you do n't have to think about the past . chad : whitney , i need to remember . i mean , to appreciate how far i 've come . this is the start of a whole new life , with the woman i love by my side . i 'm going to be somebody , make a name for myself so you 'll be proud of me . whitney : chad , i 'm already proud of you . i love you so much . chad : and i love you , too . and one of these days , i 'm going to prove to your father that i 'm worthy of your love . whitney : i just wish my family would understand , that they 'd be supportive of us , what we 're trying to do here . chad : just give them time , ok ? they 'll come around . whitney : i hope so . chad : you know , just try not to worry about this , ok ? just enjoy the moment . we 're in california , getting ready to start a new life together . whitney : i do feel like i 'm -- i 'm starting over , that anything is possible . fox : hey , now . how we doing ? listen , i do n't know about you two , but i am bushed . i could go for a latte . what do you think ? whitney : mmm . coffee does sound pretty good right now . fox : yeah , it does . whitney : well , where are we going to go for coffee around here ? fox : it does n't matter where we go . i mean , there ' a a coffee shop on every corner , so let 's go get caffeinated . whitney : ok . chad : all right . fox : all right . oh , whitney , chad 's right . he is . he 's right . you 're going to start a whole new life . but it 's going to be with me . grace : eve , what made this happen ? i mean , why is the baby coming now ? eve : any number of things could have caused premature labor . kay 's level of stress was already very high , so any upset on top of that could cause her water to break . kay : miguel , how can you say we do n't have a relationship ? we are having a child together . miguel : yeah , kay , and that 's the only bond that we have between us , all right ? you do know that charity and i are eventually going to get married , right ? you know that she 's going to be just as involved in our baby 's life as you and i are ? oh , my god . this is all my fault for the way that i treated kay . if anything happens to our baby , it 's because of me . luis : sheridan . sheridan : i love you so much . i just want to be with you forever . luis : you just hang on , sheridan . i 'm going to find you . i swear i will . beth : just a few minutes more imagining her unborn baby starving to death , and i 'm sure sheridan will agree to record that d.v.d . mrs. wallace : well , i do n't know about that , bethie . she sounded dead set against it before . she knows luis is looking for her . she knows that there 's a certain clown , you know , that 's desperate to throw him off the scent . what if sheridan decides to take her chances , and refuses to do that d.v.d . ? beth : i have not come this far to be brought down by a stubborn socialite . and as much as i want sheridan 's baby to pass off as my own -- charlie : so we can start our family . beth : yeah , right . as much as i want sheridan 's baby , we can not let luis come over here and find her . mrs. wallace : well , duh . beth : so , if sriridan does n't agree to make that d.v.d . right away , we 've got no choice but to kill her . twice it was destroyed by fire . twice it was rebuilt . this , it ca n't survive . too few monks to maintain it , so those in oka , quebec want it back . will the monks go silently ?

chad : you 're right . it 's him . fox : yeah . well , i tell you what , though -- you guys better get used to that now that you 're living in la - la land . you 're going to see that kind of stuff all the time . whitney : this just keeps getting better and better . oh , i got to call theresa and let her know i just saw my first oscar - winning actor -- denzel . chad : i think we 'd better find a hotel first -- whitney : oh . chad : you know , get settled in . whitney : ok . you 're right , you 're right . we need to find a place to stay , and then we can find an apartment for our own , right , baby ? chad : i -- i ca n't believe how expensive these hotels are out here . i mean , at these prices , i 'm going to go through the advance kenisha gave me in just a few nights . fox : well , yeah , this is ridiculous , every one of these . you know what ? i got an idea . chad , why do n't you save your money , ok ? my family owns an apartment out here . why do n't you guys just come stay in it with me ? chad : look , man , you 've done so much for us alrdydy . we ca n't crash at your crib , too . fox : crash at my crib ? who 's talking about crashing ? i 'm inviting you guys to come stay with me . come on . what do you say ? whitney : well , you know , hotels are expensive -- fox : yes . whitney : right ? fox : right . whitney : so maybe we could stay with fox until we find our own place . chad : i know , but -- fox : no , but , look , just come check it out , ok ? tell me what you think . chad : all right . fox : all right ? chad : i guess there 's no harm in looking , right ? fox : no , of course not . what have you got to lose ? whitney : cheers . chad : thanks . fox : you bet . miguel : if the baby does n't make it , it 'll be my fault . charity : do n't say that , miguel . pilar : she 's right . you are not to blame for any of this . miguel : yes , i am . i mean , kay and i were fighting when her water broke . pilar : she was already upset before she joined you in tabitha 's kitchen . having words with you did not send her into labor . miguel : yeah , but our fight could have pushed her over the edge . i mean , if anything happens to kay or our baby -- pilar : mijo , please . you just have to pray that everything will be all right . just pray . miguel : i need to be with kay right now . pilar : i 'm going to go to the chapel . charity : god help us all . ivy : pilar does n't know it , but she may have just given me what i need to drive that wedge between sam and grace again . david : you 're on your own this time , ivy . i wo n't help you . sam : eve , can i see her ? eve : yes , sam , but do n't mention my concerns about the baby . i do n't want her any more upset than she already is . sam : ok . grace : ivy , whatever you got to say to me , i 'm in no mood to hear it . ivy : no , i do n't suppose you would be . grace : and what does that mean ? ivy : your daughter is in that cubicle fighting for herself and the life of her child . and on some level , you know you 're to blame for it . grace : excuse me ? ivy : you failed your daughter , grace . you have been a terrible mother , and the consequences of that are hitting you head - on . grace : i can not believe what you are saying . ivy : well , believe it , grace , because no one 's to blame for what 's happening to kay but you -- you and you alone . luis : i 'm coming to find you , sheridan . you just hang on a little while longer . hank : luis . luis : hey . hank : i thought i might find you here . luis : thanks . look , hank , i was just thinking about sheridan . there 's no way that she would have left without leaving me a note . i 'm telling you , i got to find her . hank : i hear you , buddy . luis : i ca n't believe this is happening again . i just got her back . hank : it 's weird how you two keep getting separated . it 's like there 's some sort of outside for k keeping you apart . luis : well , it 's not the first time this has happened , either . it 's happened over and over again down through the ages . hank : this again ? buddy , i should have brought you decaf . luis : hank , i 'm serious . all right ? you know that i never used to believe in past lives , but then i saw proof on the internet . sheridan and i were on the titanic together . hank : i know , buddy -- luis : hank , i 'm telling you , my name was liam and sheridan 's was susan . [ music plays ] liam : i knew i loved you from the moment i laid eyes on you . somehow i know i always will . susan : and i will always love you , no matter what . liam : forever ? susan : forever . hank : it 's incredible that you two have been brought together again in this life . it 's like you 're each other 's destiny . luis : we 're soul mates , hank . and that 's why i ca n't give up on her . that 's why i 've got to find her . beth : ok . i know sheridan is going to cooperate because she does n't want to die and shsusure is n't going to let her baby die . charlie : no , you 're right . blondie will do anything to protect her baby . sheridan : i have to do what 's right . [ footsteps ] sheridan : who 's there ? beth : [ distorted voice ] the prize patrol from publishers clearinghouse . who in the hell else would it be but me , stupid blonde ? sheridan : i 've made up my mind about making the d.v.d . beth : yeah ? well , what 's it going to be ? are you going to record the message saying that you 're safe and sound in paris ? or are you going to refuse , knowing that you and your baby are going to starve to death ? kay : the baby is coming so early . i hope everything 's going to be ok . sam : yeah , i hope so , too . listen , i just want to tell you i love you , kay , and i 'll be here for you no matter what . kay : i know that . i love you , too , dad . grace : i 'm to blame for what 's happening to kay ? how dare you say such a thing . ivy : i dare because it 's the truth . you turned your back on kay when she needed you the very most . grace : that 's a lie . ivy : no , it is not a lie . your pregnant daughter felt she codnd n't live in her own home because of you , grace . she moved out with wacky old tabitha . kay is not living with her own family because you are a lousy mother and a lousy wife . sam : what 's going on here ? beth : [ distorted voice ] so , cherie , what 's it going to be ? will you or wo n't you record the message ? it wo n't take long -- just a few quick words telling anyone who cares not to worry , that you 're in france for a little r and r . sheridan : i know people who love me are looking for me . that 's why you want me to make the movie . beth : look , i do n't have all day . what 's it going to be ? sheridan : like i said before , you 're worried that luis will find me , and you 're hoping that this movie will make him stop looking for me . beth : one more time -- are you going to record the message or not ? just remember that refusing to make this video , i will have to stop giving you food and water . and if you starve , that means your baby starves , too . is that what you want , sheridan -- to die knowing that you murdered your own child ? mrs. wallace : i ca n't hear a thing . can you ? oh , yeah , right -- like you could tell me what 's going on . boy , i hope that sheridan makes that video so that my wicked daughter and her froot loop friend do n't kill her . of course , if she does make that video , then luis is going to stop searching for her , and he is her only hope of being saved . oh . but then again , if luis finds her , we are all going to prison . and i do n't think either one of us want to end b being lathered up by a bunch of lonely women in a communal shower . uh - uh . i 'm with you , precious . no matter which way this thing goes , somebody loses , and they lose big . want to build weak hair stronger in just 10 days ? fox : well , here we go . this is the l.a . version of home , sweet home . whitney : wow . i mean , it 's so beautiful . chad : yeah , man , this place is great . it 's amazing . fox : mm - hmm . whitney : i 'm feeling kind of out of place here . all the women are so beautiful and sophisticated looking . fox : whitney , you 're joking , right ? are you serious ? i mean , come on -- you 're the prettiest girl here . in fact , tell you what -- i 'm surprised that every single one of these women have n't run into their apartments to hide in shame now that you 've arrived . whitney : you know , you 're definitely a charmer . it 's no wonder all the girls fall in love with you . fox : well , i will tell you what -- the only woman that i care about falling in love with me is you , whitney . and i 'm going to make sure that happens . sam : well , i 'm waiting for an answer . what 's going on ? grace : this bitch is at it again . ivy : well , i am sorry if the truth hurts , grace . sam : what did ivy mean by that ? grace : she had the gall to tell me that what 's going on with kay is my fault because i let kay down as a mother . can you believe she is blaming me for this ? sam : grace , look , we need to concentrate on kay and the baby , not worry about who 's to blame for what happened . grace : oh , my god . you agree with ivy , do n't you ? you think this is my fault . sam : now is not the time to get into this . grace : no , we do n't have to get into it , sam , i can see it in your eyes . you think i 'm to blame for what 's going on with kay and her baby . ivy : mission accomplished . eve : i want to keep kay here as long as possible because if we take her to o.r . , it 's just going to upset her , and that 's the last thing that she or the baby needs . nurse : i 've contacted neonatal i.c.u . , and they 're on standby for when kay delivers . eve : good . we 'll take the baby there as soon as it 's born . kay : did you say you were going to take my baby ? miguel : no , kay . you just misunderstood . kay : what 's going on ? i need to know what 's going on . eve : kay , your baby is going to be born prematurely . kay : well , i know that . i me , , the labor pains are kind of a clue . eve : well , yes , but the point is that the ultrasound i took showed that your baby 's lungs have n't had time to fully develop , so it 's going to need to be on a respirator . and there could be other complications , as well . kay : complications ? eve : i just do n't want to take any chances . i want the baby placed in nicu , where it can get emergency care right away . kay : no . no , you can not take my baby ! miguel : kay -- kay ? it 's all right . dr. russell just wants to do what 's besfofor our child . kay : miguel , our baby . no , our poor baby . oh , god . hank : no wonder i lost sheridan to you . i never stood a chance if you two are soul mates . luis : we are , hank . i 'm sure of it . and not only were sheridan and i on the titanic together , tabitha read my tea leaves and she said that she saw us go as far back as ancient egypt . hank : bizarre . luis : in each of our lives , something pulled us apart . i refuse to believe that being apart is part of our destiny . i 'm not going to let history repeat itself . i 'm going to find sheridan , and i 'm going to bring her back . and once i do , i 'm not goi to let anyone or anything separate us ever again . beth : [ distorted voice ] ok . i 'm through wasting time with you , sheridan . are you going to record the message to luis or not ?

<s>[INST] fox : hey . listen , we 're making our final approach for l.a. , so we should really wake her up so that she ca see the city from the air . chad : no , give her a minute . you know , that nightmare she had about leaving me for another man really upset her . fox : hmm . sounds to me like she must have been freaked out by what simone said earlier , huh ? that she 's going to dump you whenomomeone better comes along . chad : you know , i told her that our relationship is too strong for anything to come between us . i never even look at other women . and whitney just does n't have it in her to step out on me . so neither of us have anything to worry about . chad : whitney , wake up . wake up . fox 's voice : wrong again , pal . you got plenty to worry about . i am going to make sure whitney 's dreams come true and that she leaves you for another man -- me . whitney : mmm . chad ? chad : yeah . whitney : what is it , honey ? chad : we 're getting ready to land . whitney : really ? oh , my god . chad : look out here . that 's where we 're going to start our new life . los angeles , california . john : charity ? charity : hi . john : i thought you could use this . charity : oh . thank you . john : i know this ca n't be easy for you , watching kay about to give birth to miguel 's baby . charity : i just love miguel so much . and it 's hard for me to accept that he and kay made love . not that i blame him . i know that evil made him think that kay was me , but -- oh , just it still hurts . john : i think it 's awesome how you 've supported miguel being with kay just before they become parents together . charity : well , they 're going to have a son or a daughter . miguel needs to be with kay right now . i just hope it 's not a sign of things to come . [ kay groans ] miguel : you 're doing fine , kay . just fine . eve : if only that were true , miguel . kay , honey , your contractions are getting closer together , and they 're more intense . the baby should be born anytime now . [ kay groans ] miguel : just try to do it like they taught us in lamaze class , all right , kay ? kay : we did n't get that far . the baby decided to come a little too soon . eve : we 're going to have to monitor kay very closely , ok ? because her blood pressure is already too high . and a long and protracted labor would just make it worse . kay : oh ! god , it hurts ! i ca n't do this anymore . miguel : yes , you can , kay . all right ? just take deep breat .. come on , keep breathing . pilar : please , god , please let kay and miguel 's baby be all right . grace : sam , i 'm so worried about kay and the baby . sam : eve is with her , ok ? she 'll do everything she can to keep the baby safe . ivy : damn it . sam and grace 's fear for kay is drawing them close again , making them reconnect . david : kay is their daughter , ivy . it 's only natural they 'd be worried about her . ivy : well , they can worry separately . i mean , sam could be comforting me . i am just as worried about gwen and ethan 's baby , our grandchild . david : it 's all about you , is n't it , ivy ? ivy : the point is you and i have worked far too hard to drive a wedge between sam and grace to have some little emergency with kay bring them back together now . this has got to be nipped in the bud , and soon . but how ? hank : luis . i thought i was getting an early start . what time did you get here ? luis : i never left . i was here all night plotting out the search for sheridan . i showered and changed here . hank : you can not keep going on like this . i mean , you got to get some shutey luis : look , i 'll sleep later , all right ? all i care about right now is finding sheridan . all right , it 's still too early to send out the search teams . you know , i want to give precious time to get mrs . wallace up and dressed . all right ? then we 're going to head over there . we 're going to search beth 's basement . we 're going to prove to this kidnapper there 's no place in harmony to hide sheridan . charlie : luis is going to be here soon to search the basement . and when he does , he 'll find sheridan , and we 'll be facing prison time . beth : charlie , you have to relax . i am sure sheridan will record the d.v.d . for us to send to luis . and then once he sees and hears that she 's fine in france and that she wants to be alone , he 'll have to accept she was n't kidnapped and he 'll stop searching for her . and then wllll be safe , ok ? charlie : ok . how did you get sheridan to agree to record the message ? beth : well , she did n't actually agree yet . charlie : what ? mrs. wallace : i knew it . beth : all of you just relax , ok ? sheridan will agree to it , trust me . i came up with a proposition that no soon - to - be mother could refuse . beth : [ distorted voice ] that 's right . if you do n't cooperate , you and your baby are both going to die . sheridan : oh , god , what am i going to do ? singer : i would hold the hand of the one who could lead me places and kiss the lips of the one who could sing so sweet and i would fly on the wings of the bird i knew could take me highest breathe in , breathe out you keep me alive you are the fire burning inside of me you are my passion for life miguel : you ok ? kay : i 'm better , now that the contraction has passed . miguel : um -- i 'm going to step out for a second , ok ? but i promise , i 'll be back before your next contraction . kay : miguel , no . please do n't leave . do n't leave me and our baby . john : you know , i wonder where tabitha went . charity : she probably went home to get some rest . it must be exhausting being pregnant at her age . john : yeah . about tabitha being pregnant -- i ca n't believe i 'm going to tell anyone this , but i saw the strangest thing last night . tabitha was talking to mr . crane , and this thing came out of her stomach and started choking him . charity : oh . well , i did have a really strange feeling about tabitha 's baby . john : i mean , you do n't think what i saw was real , do you ? charity : no . no . you know what ? it 's probably like when you thought you saw tabitha on fire . not that strange things do n't happen in harmony , but between kay 's pregnancy and your mom being torn between your father and my uncle , i think that we 're all just really on edge . john : yeah . that 's probably it . charity : i know i 'm going to feel better when kay has this baby and we know everything 's all right . miguel : ok , kay , calm down , all right ? i 'll stay for now . kay : thank you . miguel , you do n't know how glad i am that you 're here . and i know -- i know our baby is , too . we could n't get through this without you . nurse : it 's not good , is it , doctor ? eve : no . it 's exactly what i was afraid of . luis : look , it 's not that i think that beth is a suspect , but whoever kidnapped sheridan could be hiding her in her basement and beth does n't even know it . hank : thinking it 's the last place that the police would look . luis : exactly . hank : even so , you know you 're going to catch some flack about resuming the search for sheridan when there 's no proof that she was kidnapped . if anything , there 's proof she wasn't . her luggage and her passport are gone , and there was that email that she sent from paris . luis : look , antonio thinks that she went off to get some peace and quiet . hank , i 'm telling you , i know sheridan better than anybody , and she would n't leave without leaving a note or telling us where she was going . now , this whole business about her sending an email -- it does n't cut it . now , i 'm telling you , i know in my gut that something happened to sheridan . now , unless i see and hear her telling me that she left town on her own , i 'm not buying that she 's in france . hank : well , you were right when you did n't believe that she died in that boat explosion , so i ca n't dismiss what you 're feeling now . luis : well , thanks . i appreciate it . now , look , it 's still too early to go over to beth 's . i 'm going to get some fresh air , all right ? now , as soon as i get back , i 'm going over to beth 's to search her basement , all right ? sheridan : oh , my baby . i ca n't let anything happen to my baby . oh , luis , please find me . please , save me and my baby . beth : i told sheridan that if she does n't record the message , i 'll cut off her food and water . sheridan will starve to death , and so will her baby . charlie : beth , you are a genius . blondie will never risk her baby 's life by refusing to make a d.v.d . beth : i know , i know . sheridan will do anything to protect her unborn child . mrs. wallace : just when i thought you could n't get any more sick or twisted , you come up with this . this is the worst plan i have ever heard . charlie : shut your pie hole , old woman -- [ precious blows raspberry ] charlie : or i may just rip out your tongue and gag you with it . you , too , ape . so when is goldilocks going to give us her answer ? because , you know , any minute now , luis is going to be here to search the basement . beth : i know , ok ? she just needs to stew a little while longer . really let it sink in how much she and her baby will suffer before they die if she does n't cooperate . [ music plays ] chad : hey , i 'll go get us a cab . fox : what ? no , do n't do that . i 've taken care of it . i figure -- i figure since it 's our first time in l.a. , right ? whitney : uh - huh . fox : we 're going to take a little tour . we 're going to see the sights the only way you should . check this out . in a convertible . whitney : oh ! wait , wait -- that car is for us , really ? fox : yeah , really . it 's amazing what the crane name and a phone call can get you . chad : nice , man . whitney : thank you so much , fox . this is so nice of you . i ca n't believe it . fox : you bet . listen , you have n't seen anything yet . come on , let me show you the city of angels . whitney : ok , let 's go . singer : everybody comes to hollywood they want to make it in the neighborhood they like the smell of it in hollywood how could it hurt you when it looks so good ?

charity : i 'm ok . hey , it 's you , kay , and the baby i 'm worried about . grace : eve , how -- how are kay and the baby ? eve : well , kay -- kay is better . i 'm still worried about her because her blood pressure is much higher than it should be . pilar : and the baby ? eve : well , you know , i 'm not going to lie to you . it does n't -- it does n't look good . sam : why ? what 's wrong ? eve : sam , you know that premature babies have any number of complications , and some of them can be very serious . kay 's baby is no exception . pilar : oh , god . eve : the ultrasound indicates that the baby 's lungs are n't fully developed yet , so when it is born , it 's not going to be able to breathe on its own . grace : oh , my god . sam : what does that mean ? eve : it means that we 're going to do everything that we possibly can . but i think that you 're going to have to prepare yourself . there is a chance that the baby wo n't make it . singer : everybody comes to hollywood want to make it in the neighborhood they like the smell of it in hollywood how could it hurt you when it looks so good ? whitney : i ca n't get over how beautiful everything is here . chad : yeah , this is the opposite of the l.a . i grew up in . you know , it 's a wlele different world once you 're out of the hood . and when i think back on how it was -- whitney : chad , don't . i mean , just do n't even go there . you do n't have to think about the past . chad : whitney , i need to remember . i mean , to appreciate how far i 've come . this is the start of a whole new life , with the woman i love by my side . i 'm going to be somebody , make a name for myself so you 'll be proud of me . whitney : chad , i 'm already proud of you . i love you so much . chad : and i love you , too . and one of these days , i 'm going to prove to your father that i 'm worthy of your love . whitney : i just wish my family would understand , that they 'd be supportive of us , what we 're trying to do here . chad : just give them time , ok ? they 'll come around . whitney : i hope so . chad : you know , just try not to worry about this , ok ? just enjoy the moment . we 're in california , getting ready to start a new life together . whitney : i do feel like i 'm -- i 'm starting over , that anything is possible . fox : hey , now . how we doing ? listen , i do n't know about you two , but i am bushed . i could go for a latte . what do you think ? whitney : mmm . coffee does sound pretty good right now . fox : yeah , it does . whitney : well , where are we going to go for coffee around here ? fox : it does n't matter where we go . i mean , there ' a a coffee shop on every corner , so let 's go get caffeinated . whitney : ok . chad : all right . fox : all right . oh , whitney , chad 's right . he is . he 's right . you 're going to start a whole new life . but it 's going to be with me . grace : eve , what made this happen ? i mean , why is the baby coming now ? eve : any number of things could have caused premature labor . kay 's level of stress was already very high , so any upset on top of that could cause her water to break . kay : miguel , how can you say we do n't have a relationship ? we are having a child together . miguel : yeah , kay , and that 's the only bond that we have between us , all right ? you do know that charity and i are eventually going to get married , right ? you know that she 's going to be just as involved in our baby 's life as you and i are ? oh , my god . this is all my fault for the way that i treated kay . if anything happens to our baby , it 's because of me . luis : sheridan . sheridan : i love you so much . i just want to be with you forever . luis : you just hang on , sheridan . i 'm going to find you . i swear i will . beth : just a few minutes more imagining her unborn baby starving to death , and i 'm sure sheridan will agree to record that d.v.d . mrs. wallace : well , i do n't know about that , bethie . she sounded dead set against it before . she knows luis is looking for her . she knows that there 's a certain clown , you know , that 's desperate to throw him off the scent . what if sheridan decides to take her chances , and refuses to do that d.v.d . ? beth : i have not come this far to be brought down by a stubborn socialite . and as much as i want sheridan 's baby to pass off as my own -- charlie : so we can start our family . beth : yeah , right . as much as i want sheridan 's baby , we can not let luis come over here and find her . mrs. wallace : well , duh . beth : so , if sriridan does n't agree to make that d.v.d . right away , we 've got no choice but to kill her . twice it was destroyed by fire . twice it was rebuilt . this , it ca n't survive . too few monks to maintain it , so those in oka , quebec want it back . will the monks go silently ? tonight 's global national with kevin newman . singer : you are my passion for life chad : this coffeehouse is a far cry from the book cafe . whitney : oh , i know . oh , my gosh . oh , my gosh . right over there getting coffee -- that is denzel washington . right ? chad : you 're right . it 's him . fox : yeah . well , i tell you what , though -- you guys better get used to that now that you 're living in la - la land . you 're going to see that kind of stuff all the time . whitney : this just keeps getting better and better . oh , i got to call theresa and let her know i just saw my first oscar - winning actor -- denzel . chad : i think we 'd better find a hotel first -- whitney : oh . chad : you know , get settled in . whitney : ok . you 're right , you 're right . we need to find a place to stay , and then we can find an apartment for our own , right , baby ? chad : i -- i ca n't believe how expensive these hotels are out here . i mean , at these prices , i 'm going to go through the advance kenisha gave me in just a few nights . fox : well , yeah , this is ridiculous , every one of these . you know what ? i got an idea . chad , why do n't you save your money , ok ? my family owns an apartment out here . why do n't you guys just come stay in it with me ? chad : look , man , you 've done so much for us alrdydy . we ca n't crash at your crib , too . fox : crash at my crib ? who 's talking about crashing ? i 'm inviting you guys to come stay with me . come on . what do you say ? whitney : well , you know , hotels are expensive -- fox : yes . whitney : right ? fox : right . whitney : so maybe we could stay with fox until we find our own place . chad : i know , but -- fox : no , but , look , just come check it out , ok ? tell me what you think . chad : all right . fox : all right ? chad : i guess there 's no harm in looking , right ? fox : no , of course not . what have you got to lose ? whitney : cheers . chad : thanks . fox : you bet . miguel : if the baby does n't make it , it 'll be my fault . charity : do n't say that , miguel . pilar : she 's right . you are not to blame for any of this . miguel : yes , i am . i mean , kay and i were fighting when her water broke . pilar : she was already upset before she joined you in tabitha 's kitchen . having words with you did not send her into labor . miguel : yeah , but our fight could have pushed her over the edge . i mean , if anything happens to kay or our baby -- pilar : mijo , please . you just have to pray that everything will be all right . just pray . miguel : i need to be with kay right now . pilar : i 'm going to go to the chapel . charity : god help us all . ivy : pilar does n't know it , but she may have just given me what i need to drive that wedge between sam and grace again . david : you 're on your own this time , ivy . i wo n't help you . sam : eve , can i see her ? eve : yes , sam , but do n't mention my concerns about the baby . i do n't want her any more upset than she already is . sam : ok . grace : ivy , whatever you got to say to me , i 'm in no mood to hear it . ivy : no , i do n't suppose you would be . grace : and what does that mean ? ivy : your daughter is in that cubicle fighting for herself and the life of her child . and on some level , you know you 're to blame for it . grace : excuse me ? ivy : you failed your daughter , grace . you have been a terrible mother , and the consequences of that are hitting you head - on . grace : i can not believe what you are saying . ivy : well , believe it , grace , because no one 's to blame for what 's happening to kay but you -- you and you alone . luis : i 'm coming to find you , sheridan . you just hang on a little while longer . hank : luis . luis : hey . hank : i thought i might find you here . luis : thanks . look , hank , i was just thinking about sheridan . there 's no way that she would have left without leaving me a note . i 'm telling you , i got to find her . hank : i hear you , buddy . luis : i ca n't believe this is happening again . i just got her back . hank : it 's weird how you two keep getting separated . it 's like there 's some sort of outside for k keeping you apart . luis : well , it 's not the first time this has happened , either . it 's happened over and over again down through the ages . hank : this again ? buddy , i should have brought you decaf . luis : hank , i 'm serious . all right ? you know that i never used to believe in past lives , but then i saw proof on the internet . sheridan and i were on the titanic together . hank : i know , buddy -- luis : hank , i 'm telling you , my name was liam and sheridan 's was susan . [ music plays ] liam : i knew i loved you from the moment i laid eyes on you . somehow i know i always will . susan : and i will always love you , no matter what . liam : forever ? susan : forever . hank : it 's incredible that you two have been brought together again in this life . it 's like you 're each other 's destiny . luis : we 're soul mates , hank . and that 's why i ca n't give up on her . that 's why i 've got to find her . beth : ok . i know sheridan is going to cooperate because she does n't want to die and shsusure is n't going to let her baby die . charlie : no , you 're right . blondie will do anything to protect her baby . sheridan : i have to do what 's right . [ footsteps ] sheridan : who 's there ? beth : [ distorted voice ] the prize patrol from publishers clearinghouse . who in the hell else would it be but me , stupid blonde ? sheridan : i 've made up my mind about making the d.v.d . beth : yeah ? well , what 's it going to be ? are you going to record the message saying that you 're safe and sound in paris ? or are you going to refuse , knowing that you and your baby are going to starve to death ? kay : the baby is coming so early . i hope everything 's going to be ok . sam : yeah , i hope so , too . listen , i just want to tell you i love you , kay , and i 'll be here for you no matter what . kay : i know that . i love you , too , dad . grace : i 'm to blame for what 's happening to kay ? how dare you say such a thing . ivy : i dare because it 's the truth . you turned your back on kay when she needed you the very most . grace : that 's a lie . ivy : no , it is not a lie . your pregnant daughter felt she codnd n't live in her own home because of you , grace . she moved out with wacky old tabitha . kay is not living with her own family because you are a lousy mother and a lousy wife . sam : what 's going on here ? beth : [ distorted voice ] so , cherie , what 's it going to be ? will you or wo n't you record the message ? it wo n't take long -- just a few quick words telling anyone who cares not to worry , that you 're in france for a little r and r . sheridan : i know people who love me are looking for me . that 's why you want me to make the movie . beth : look , i do n't have all day . what 's it going to be ? sheridan : like i said before , you 're worried that luis will find me , and you 're hoping that this movie will make him stop looking for me . beth : one more time -- are you going to record the message or not ? just remember that refusing to make this video , i will have to stop giving you food and water . and if you starve , that means your baby starves , too . is that what you want , sheridan -- to die knowing that you murdered your own child ? mrs. wallace : i ca n't hear a thing . can you ? oh , yeah , right -- like you could tell me what 's going on . boy , i hope that sheridan makes that video so that my wicked daughter and her froot loop friend do n't kill her . of course , if she does make that video , then luis is going to stop searching for her , and he is her only hope of being saved . oh . but then again , if luis finds her , we are all going to prison . and i do n't think either one of us want to end b being lathered up by a bunch of lonely women in a communal shower . uh - uh . i 'm with you , precious . no matter which way this thing goes , somebody loses , and they lose big . want to build weak hair stronger in just 10 days ? fox : well , here we go . this is the l.a . version of home , sweet home . whitney : wow . i mean , it 's so beautiful . chad : yeah , man , this place is great . it 's amazing . fox : mm - hmm . whitney : i 'm feeling kind of out of place here . all the women are so beautiful and sophisticated looking . fox : whitney , you 're joking , right ? are you serious ? i mean , come on -- you 're the prettiest girl here . in fact , tell you what -- i 'm surprised that every single one of these women have n't run into their apartments to hide in shame now that you 've arrived . whitney : you know , you 're definitely a charmer . it 's no wonder all the girls fall in love with you . fox : well , i will tell you what -- the only woman that i care about falling in love with me is you , whitney . and i 'm going to make sure that happens . sam : well , i 'm waiting for an answer . what 's going on ? grace : this bitch is at it again . ivy : well , i am sorry if the truth hurts , grace . sam : what did ivy mean by that ? grace : she had the gall to tell me that what 's going on with kay is my fault because i let kay down as a mother . can you believe she is blaming me for this ? sam : grace , look , we need to concentrate on kay and the baby , not worry about who 's to blame for what happened . grace : oh , my god . you agree with ivy , do n't you ? you think this is my fault . sam : now is not the time to get into this . grace : no , we do n't have to get into it , sam , i can see it in your eyes . you think i 'm to blame for what 's going on with kay and her baby . ivy : mission accomplished . eve : i want to keep kay here as long as possible because if we take her to o.r . , it 's just going to upset her , and that 's the last thing that she or the baby needs . nurse : i 've contacted neonatal i.c.u . , and they 're on standby for when kay delivers . eve : good . we 'll take the baby there as soon as it 's born . kay : did you say you were going to take my baby ? miguel : no , kay . you just misunderstood . kay : what 's going on ? i need to know what 's going on . eve : kay , your baby is going to be born prematurely . kay : well , i know that . i me , , the labor pains are kind of a clue . eve : well , yes , but the point is that the ultrasound i took showed that your baby 's lungs have n't had time to fully develop , so it 's going to need to be on a respirator . and there could be other complications , as well . kay : complications ? eve : i just do n't want to take any chances . i want the baby placed in nicu , where it can get emergency care right away . kay : no . no , you can not take my baby ! miguel : kay -- kay ? it 's all right . dr. russell just wants to do what 's besfofor our child . kay : miguel , our baby . no , our poor baby . oh , god . hank : no wonder i lost sheridan to you . i never stood a chance if you two are soul mates . luis : we are , hank . i 'm sure of it . and not only were sheridan and i on the titanic together , tabitha read my tea leaves and she said that she saw us go as far back as ancient egypt . hank : bizarre . luis : in each of our lives , something pulled us apart . i refuse to believe that being apart is part of our destiny . i 'm not going to let history repeat itself . i 'm going to find sheridan , and i 'm going to bring her back . and once i do , i 'm not goi to let anyone or anything separate us ever again . beth : [ distorted voice ] ok . i 'm through wasting time with you , sheridan . are you going to record the message to luis or not ?

[ scoffs ] [ breathes deeply ] [ cell phone vibrating ] morgan : oh , lucas . lucas : hey , man . morgan : how 's it going ? lucas : good , good . you here to check on your mom ? morgan : yeah , she was n't in her room , so -- lucas : she 's in there with franco . oh , no , whoa , whoa . they 're sleeping . morgan : oh . wow . lucas : yeah . yeah . i know . it 's a lot for me to process , too . my sister 's involved with a serial killer . morgan : ah . well , `` reformed `` serial killer . do n't forget the `` reformed `` part . i 'm sure she wo n't let you , but , yeah , franco 's mom 's hero now , and everything he did before , i guess , is just ... lucas : oh , yeah . the tumor made him do it . morgan : yeah . exactly . lucas : well , it must have been pretty weird for you to find out . morgan : uh , i guess no weirder than my mom finding out i was with ava . julian : where you been ? ava : out . julian : with whom ? ava : i 'm sorry . did i miss curfew ? julian : what ? i 'm just taking an interest in your life . ava : since when ? julian : mm . ava : i was with kiki . julian : huh . ava : and what does that mean , `` huh `` ? julian : oh . [ clears throat ] i , uh ... just happened to see my niece earlier . she made it sound like you two were still on the outs . ava : well , we 're working on our relationship . julian : i see . ahh . you have fun ? ava : yes . julian : where 'd you go ? ava : if you have something to say , julian , why do n't you just say it ? julian : [ chuckles ] all right . what the hell were you doing with my laptop ? shawn : the addresses ava gave us are legit . we 've got a complete listing of the jerome safe houses in town . sonny : that 's gon na come in handy . shawn : you think that bodes well for the rest of the intel ? sonny : so far so good . come check out what else ava brought us . patrick : you 're just giving me excuses , and when one does n't work , you just add on another one . first , it 's medical work , then it 's obrecht . and then i tell you that emma and i will go with you so we can all be safe , and then you blame it on sabrina 's baby , robin . robin : your baby with sabrina . patrick : and then you tell me that you do n't want to be a family ? what is that ? this does n't make sense , so just tell me what is going on . it 's got to be something , robin . i really think that you might have post - traumatic stress because -- robin : what ? no . i do n't have ptsd , okay ? patrick : well , this does n't make sense , okay ? because the last time you went to africa , your medication was n't working . your protocol was n't working . so is that what 's going on ? robin : no , i 'm fine . i 'm healthy . it 's not that . patrick : what is it ? please , just tell me , because ... robin , i 'm your husband . will you look at me , please ? i love you . you have to tell me what is going on , because i can deal with it . what i ca n't -- robin : it 's jason . patrick : what ? i 'm doing this because of jason . elizabeth : well , are you gon na say something ? nikolas : liz ... dante : well , someone better start talking . britt : it 's true , dante . ben is your son . dante : i do n't -- i do n't -- i do n't understand . how is that even possible ? lulu : am i supposed to believe that dante slept with her ? dante : no , of course we did n't sleep together . look , i do n't know what the hell is happening right now . britt : i can explain . dante : well , i hope so . elizabeth : are you thinking up a cover story ? nikolas : liz , could you possibly summon a bit of tact here , please ? elizabeth : i 'm sorry . they 're never gon na get a straight answer out of her . the truth is , britt stole your sperm sample from the lab and used it to father her child . brad : here 's the deal . felix : who 's lucas ? ava : i did n't touch your computer . why would i touch your computer ? julian : you tell me . ava : i do n't even know your password . julian : not what alexis said . ava : davis ? julian : do you know any other ? oh , yeah , yeah . she said she was here . you claimed she could n't use my computer because i was downloading files , which is interesting , because i was n't . so the only person who could 've been downloading files ... was you . sonny : ava was n't lying . julian has been tracking corinthos coffee finances for months . shawn : it makes sense now why he was attacking the imports and the warehouse . sonny : crippling our legitimate business , which makes impossible to funnel through our other non - legitimate finances . shawn : he keeps this up , the money the team brings in wo n't be worth the paper it 's printed on . let 's see what else he 's got going here . what the hell is this ? patrick : what does jason have to do with you going to africa ? robin : i ca n't tell you . patrick : you 're damn right you 're gon na tell me , robin . you 're considering leaving your entire family , you 're gon na tell me what 's going on . robin : it 's so complicated -- patrick : then explain it to me , okay ? explain it to me . is it hard being back in port charles ... knowing that jason 's not here ? if that 's it , i can understand that . robin : ugh ! you 're not going to understand why i have to do this . patrick : please do not tell me what i am not gon na understand what it 's like to lose somebody , all right ? i -- i get that . it 's difficult , and i know it 's hard , but -- but jason is dead , robin . we can get over that . robin : he 's not dead . jason is alive . sonny : what 's this bastard doing with a file on jason ? shawn : well , jason was his grandson 's father . not surprising he 'd take an interest in him . sonny : no , no , this was way before danny . look . shawn : what do you think it means ? sonny : apparently ... julian 's been keeping tabs on my people ... for a very long time . ava : this is absurd . julian : is it ? ava : i do n't even know what you 're accusing me of . based solely on the word of alexis . julian : i trust her . ava : oh , please , julian . have you forgotten she 's sonny 's attorney ? julian : so ? ava : [ scoffs ] so , on the night of the art show , when the truth of your identity came to light , alexis was squarely on sonny 's side . and why should n't she be ? she shares a kid with him , too , not to mention years of history and the fact that he 's got her on retainer . julian : mm . ava : you add all of that up and it 's clear that alexis is trying to sow seeds of discontent between us . julian : possibly . or maybe you double - crossed me . felix : `` hope you 're having a great v - day . call me . let 's hang out again sometime . `` brad : oh , right ! lucas . sorry . it was just so out of context . yeah , he 's a -- he 's a friend of mine . no big deal . felix : a friend . brad : yeah , he 's -- he 's not even gay . felix : really ? uh , if he 's not even gay and he 's your friend ... how come he 's naked in your bed ? lucas : i 'm just curious about my newfound ... `` father . `` i do n't know julian , but it seems like you 've spent a good amount of time with him . i 'm just asking because ... well , i mean , you said that ava is n't as bad as everybody else says she is , and ... is it the same with julian ? morgan : well , you 've , uh -- you 've read about him , right ? lucas : yeah . and i 've run into him a few times . morgan : what ? what happened ? lucas : did n't go that great . when i told him i was gay , well , let 's just say he did n't take it too well . morgan : yeah , well , does n't surprise me . guy 's a real ass . lucas : yeah . i mean , he was up until he came and apologized to me . he told me he wanted to try to make it work , to try to have a relationship , and i 'm ... i mean , i 'm considering giving him a chance . ava : you 've completely lost your mind . julian : mm . have i ? ava : i would never do a thing like that . julian : oh , i do n't know , ava . you did n't have a problem with pointing a gun at me when you discovered that i 'd threatened morgan 's family . ava : i was upset . that 's a far cry from out - and - out betrayal . julian : well , i hope so . because , sister or no sister ... if y push me against the wall , i will take you out , ava . dante : is that true ? you used my sample to get pregnant with ben ? nikolas : yes , but she did n't know that it was yours . britt : nikolas , i appreciate you having my back , but it 's on me to explain . elizabeth : oh , please . we 're all ears . britt : [ clears throat ] yes . dante : yes , what ? britt : i used your sperm to father my child . lulu : why ? britt : i was in a really bad place last year . elizabeth : ugh ! do n't tell me you 're making excuses . britt : it 's not an excuse . it 's a fact . okay ? i mean , you all were there . you remember how patrick kicked me to the curb , and i was so hurt and so desperate to hold on to him that ... enter my mother . i -- dante : your mother ? what does your mother have to do with any of this ? britt : well , she was the one who came up with the brilliant plan for me to get pregnant in order to hold on to patrick . i still ca n't believe i let her talk me into it , but i did . elizabeth : so this is all dr. obrecht 's fault . britt : she 's right . i was the one who decided to go along with the crazy plan . dante : i 'm sorry . i do n't get this . i still do n't understand . i just -- i just -- i do -- i do n't understand ! britt : by the time that we decided to go through with it , we had to act quickly . lulu : otherwise , patrick would n't believe that the baby was his . britt : exactly . and there could n't be a paper trail , obviously . so we decided the fastest and easiest way to go about it was to use an existing sample from the lab . and we used yours . dante : so this is actually happening . your son , ben ... he 's mine . lulu : dante ... you 're a father . robin : jason is n't dead . i 've seen proof . patrick : you 're not going to africa . robin : no . i 'm not . patrick , i 'm so sorry ... that i lied to you . he said that i could n't tell you . patrick : who ? robin : victor cassadine . apparently , he 's nikolas ' uncle and the new head of the wsb , which nobody knows about , not even my parents . patrick : what does victor have to do with anything ? robin : because he showed up here ... to this house the other day ... and he told me that jason 's body was pulled from the water before he could die . and he offered me the chance to save him . patrick : `` offered you . `` robin : yeah , it 's supposed to be some incentive for me to help him with his family , but bottom line is that i have the chance to bring jason back to his wife and to his son . but that means that i have to leave port charles and it means that ... i have to leave you . patrick : he 's blackmailing you , okay ? this -- how do you know you can trust him ? this could be an old picture . jason could very well be dead . robin : because he showed me evidence that jason is still alive . but you 're right . you 're right . i do n't know if i can trust him . but what else -- i mean , what other choice do i have ? patrick : what ? you have a choice to stay here , where you belong , with us , not run off on some ... adventure five minutes after you got home . robin : an adventure ? patrick : well ... robin : that 's what you 're gon na call this ? my friend , his life is hanging in the balance . i ca n't just ignore that . patrick : did you already tell victor that you would do this ? robin : i did n't at first . patrick : but eventually you -- you said you would ? robin : yes . patrick : right . so you were just gon na leave , right ? you were gon na leave without saying sorry or come up with some fake excuse ? you were just gon na abandon emma ? robin : do n't say that . patrick : that 's exactly what is happening , robin ? can you not understand that ? i can not believe that you 're doing this to us again ! felix : that 's the same guy that was in the exam room with you . you said he was a patient . brad : okay , technically , you assumed that . felix : fine . but you had no problem letting me believe it . brad : [ sighs ] felix : look , i 'm not mad , okay ? we never made any promises to each other . but i think you owe it to yourself to be up front . are you and lucas sleeping together ? brad : we did . felix : you slept with him . brad : it was weeks ago . you and i had that big fight at work , and for a couple days afterward , we were n't even speaking . i went down to the floating rib one night to drown my sorrows , and -- felix : and there he was . brad : we got to talking . weirdly ... it turns out we have a lot in common . before i knew it , one thing led to another , and ... but then the next day , you and i made up . felix : and you did n't say anything because ... ? brad : i thought i 'd never see him again . felix : it was just that one time , when we were on the outs ? brad , it was just one night , right ? brad : not exactly . morgan : this is kind of awkward . lucas : oh , look . i 'm sorry . i do n't mean to put you on the spot . morgan : oh , no , no , no . look , i know julian 's your dad . i just do n't want to lie to you . lucas : no . please , truth . i can handle it . morgan : okay . he 's really bad news , man . he 's , like , really , really bad news . lucas : okay . but ... i mean , people say the same thing about your father . morgan : yeah , yeah , i -- that 's true , but -- but ... julian did something that my dad never would 've done . lucas : what did he do ? morgan : when i wanted to quit julian 's organization ... he threatened to hurt people i care about -- michael , my mom ... lucas : what kind of threat ? lucas : he said that i 'd walk around the rest of my life knowing that someone innocent died because of me . lucas : all because you did n't want to work for him anymore . morgan : yeah . and he was n't just threatening my family . he was threatening yours , too . okay , look , look , i -- i 'm not telling you what to do , 'cause , trust me , i know how annoying that is ... lucas : no , no , i -- i totally get it . i 'm -- i 'm grateful . morgan : it 's completely your decision if you want to let julian into your life . i 'm just letting you know who you 'll dealing with . ava : you would n't kill your own sister . julian : really ? well , we both know i 've done it before . olivia , my dear sister , may she rest in peace , pushed me too far . i advise you to avoid making the same mistake . ava : maybe you 're the one who does n't know who he 's dealing with , huh ? do n't underestimate my willingness to end you , either . julian : oh , feisty tonight , are n't we ? ava : i will do whatever i have to do to survive . sonny may not be able to take you out because of danny , but trust me -- that little brat you call a grandson means nothing to me . sonny : he 's even got danny 's medical records here . shawn : amazing , is n't it ? that kid 's the only thing keeping jerome breathing . sonny : i 'm more interested in finding out what 's keeping him in business . is that what i think it is ? shawn : damn . is ... is that for real ? sonny : get ava over here now . ava : do n't smirk at me like that . i will kill you ... even if little danny is the one who pays the price . [ ringtone sounds ] ava : now , if you 'll excuse me , i have to go before i say ... or do something i 'll regret . julian : let me guess -- kiki again ? ava : good night . sleep tight . dante : why should i believe you ? elizabeth : because it 's true . i ran a dna test . britt : behind everyone 's backs . elizabeth : [ sighs ] britt : but it 's okay because you 're `` saint `` elizabeth . elizabeth : do n't even go there . dante : you ran a dna test ? how ? w - why ? i noticed that you and ben had the exact same allergy , and it set off alarm bells . lulu : why did n't you tell us ? elizabeth : because i know how much you guys have gone through trying to conceive , and what if i was wrong ? dante : so -- so you got suspicious . and then what ? elizabeth : i took some hair from ben 's brush and compared it to a water bottle you 'd been drinking from . they were a match . dante : you 've been keeping this a secret the entire time ? britt : no , i -- i swear . i did n't know . i just found out you were the father today . elizabeth : oh , my god . britt : i had no clue until elizabeth confronted me with the test . dante : and your mother ? what about her ? britt : i do n't know . if i had to guess , i 'm sure she knew the truth . but as far as i was concerned , we used an anonymous sperm donor . elizabeth : you are n't really buying this , are you ? britt : it never crossed my mind that ben could be yours . if it -- if it had ... dante , i knew how badly you wanted to be a father . i could 've never kept something like that from you . nikolas : listen , man ... i know this is all a shock to you , but ... can you say something ? anything ? dante : i , uh ... i want to see my son . patrick : your child has been without you for two years . i -- i do n't even know how you -- how you consider leaving . robin : what about jason 's child ? what about the child that he does n't even know he has ? do you really think that it 's the right thing to do to let danny grow up never knowing his own father ? patrick : i do n't care . robin : what ? patrick : i do n't care . robin : you do n't care ? about a defenseless little baby ? patrick : i care about our baby ... the one that slept with a picture beside her bed every single night because she thought you were watching over her . what were you gon na do ? just ... say you 're sorry ? `` jason 's son is more important than you `` ? robin : that is not fair . patrick : no , robin , you 're right . this -- this is not fair . robin : can you please , just this once , try to understand about jason ? patrick : i think i got it . yeah . i think i have it . jason is untouchable . i 'm -- i 'm never gon na get to -- to jason 's level . robin : just stop it ! patrick : no . i get it . he 's the most important thing in the world to you . i understand that . but you do n't understand jason was a gangster . robin : he was n't to me , okay ? and you 've never understood what jason meant to me . patrick : come on ! robin : do n't -- do n't say `` come on . `` do n't say `` come on . `` if it was n't for him , i would n't even be here , okay ? we would 've never met , never gotten married , we never would have had a little girl . he literally saved my life . patrick : yeah , i thought the meds did that . robin : right . who do you think got me to take them , okay ? when i had 40 pills a day to take with no guarantee of them ever working , ever , who do you think convinced me that my life was even worth living ? ca n't you understand that if i have a chance to save his life -- even a small chance -- i have to take it . patrick : you do n't . look , i 'm grateful for jason . i 'm glad that he was that person for you , but there are limits to what you can do ... to try and pay him back . robin : he needs me right now . patrick : god , i ... robin , we need you . robin : patrick , he 's going to die if i do n't save him , okay ? sabrina needs you here . i mean -- patrick : why would you even bring that up ? robin : why ? because i had to give you weeks -- weeks -- to make your choice . okay ? and ... because this just fell into my lap , and it -- and it 's jason . patrick : and it 's jason , right . 'cause he 's more important than our family . right ? patrick : oh , come on . robin : doing something that is right , even when it is so difficult -- patrick : robin , do n't do that . do n't -- do n't turn it around like that . robin : that is what i 'm doing . patrick : no , you 're not doing this for emma . that 's a cop out . you 're putting jason before our family . but you know what ? i should n't be surprised because it 's not the first time that you 've done that . morgan : what are you gon na do ? lucas : i do n't know . i guess i have a lot to think about . lucas : uh , anyway , for what it 's worth , man , i 'm really sorry about you and ava . morgan : oh . lucas : i guess you 're probably having a pretty crappy valentine 's day . morgan : yeah . uh ... so -- so w - what about you ? are you seeing anyone right now ? lucas : uh ... morgan : oh , come on . get out of here . mom was saying that you 're , like , some kind of don juan or something like that ? lucas : what ? no ! morgan : yeah . lucas : well , okay . i guess there is this one dude . morgan : see ? there it is . lucas : well , there 's this one guy ... [ both laugh ] lucas : yeah , but he 's -- he 's made it pretty clear he 's into someone else . felix : so are you still seeing this guy ? brad : no . i mean ... he came out to his biological father . it did n't go well . he needed someone to talk to . felix : does he always take off all his clothes when he needs to talk ? brad : there was n't supposed to be a second time . in fact , i told him we could n't anymore because i wanted to make it work with you . felix : that 's what i wanted . that 's why i said we should take it slow , and you agreed . guess now i know why . brad : felix ... i - i 'm sorry . felix : for what ? i 'm -- i 'm the one who made assumptions , not you . i guess i thought since we were exchanging gifts and spending valentine 's day together that there was no one else in the picture . [ chuckles ] i even had a romantic notion about you staying the night . brad : and now ? felix : now i think you should just go . dante : where 's ben ? is he at wyndemere ? is he at lesley 's ? nikolas : it 's late , dante . maybe now 's not the best time . dante : you 're not gon na stop me from seeing my son . nikolas : no one 's trying to stop you . just if you -- if you wake him up now , trust me -- you 'll regret it . it 's probably best to wait till tomorrow . britt : nikolas is right . i 'll be in touch with you in the morning , okay ? dante : all right . i 'll , uh ... i 'll await your call . nikolas : we should go . britt : i 'm really sorry . i never meant for you to get hurt , either of you . [ door closes ] elizabeth : are you guys okay ? dante : [ scoffs ] lulu : why ? something just happen ? elizabeth : lulu ... lulu : so this is what you came here to tell us , right ? elizabeth : yes . dante : but you were gon na leave without saying anything . elizabeth : i wanted to protect lulu . she just finished telling me how you guys opted out of having an egg donor because you really wanted to have a child together . i thought that there might be a better time for you to find out ... that you have a child with someone else . britt : nikolas , i am so sorry . you had this amazing , beautiful valentine surprise planned , and -- and , per usual , i found a way to ruin it . nikolas : no , it 's ... britt : how relieved are you that we did n't get engaged ? nikolas : why would you say that ? britt : is that an actual question ? nikolas : britt , you told me you did n't know who ben 's father was , and i believe you . but more than that ... i love you . i love you , and ... i still want to marry you ... if you want to marry me . so what do you say ? robin : i 've never chosen jason over our family . patrick : two years ago ... today . can you still hear the alarms ? because i can . robin : what ? patrick -- patrick : lab was about to explode , jason needed his protocol . i asked you -- i begged you not go in there , but you went anyways . robin : to -- to save my friend . patrick : you were willing to -- to die for him . you were willing to -- to lose me and emma forever to save jason . robin : then jason would be dead . patrick : exactly my point , robin . he 's more important . robin : no . patrick : the last time that you did this , you were gone ... for two years . so what is it this time ? is it a week , is it a month , a year , 10 years ? robin : all i know is that i -- i spent two years as a prisoner ... hoping and praying that someone would come to find me , knowing that nobody would . patrick : do you ... we could n't come and search for you because we thought you were gone . i mean , we thought you were dead . robin : and so everyone thinks jason is dead . he 's in the same place that i was , except it 's worse . he 's -- he 's immobilized . he 's not living . he 's not dead . i mean , i ca n't just leave him like that . patrick : yes , you can . robin : even if i did and i stayed here , i could n't have a life . i would just be going through the motions . patrick : no , you would n't . you 'd be here with ... you 'd be sleeping in our bed . you 'd be sitting on the couch . you 'd be loving me and emma . robin : but i do love you and i love emma more than anything in the world ! this would n't change that . patrick : yes , it would , robin . it would change everything because you would be gone . robin : i need to save jason , okay ? for sam , for his son ... and , yes , even for me . jason has just as much of a right to his life as you do yours . patrick : no . no , see -- see , i do n't see it that way because jason risked his life every single day . if it was n't the tumor , it would 've been a bullet . it was a bullet . robin : but he survived . patrick : yeah . what about the next time ? how many times do you leave to go save jason ? robin : i do n't know . i do n't know . i just know that he would do it for me . patrick : really ? you think so ? you think he 'd leave his wife and his son ? robin : if it meant saving my life , yes . patrick , listen to me -- this is -- this is not about abandoning you . patrick : oh , come on . i do n't know how you even say that . robin : because this is about -- this is about saving someone that i truly care about ... someone that has never , ever let me down . patrick : and i have . is that what this is about ? is this payback ? robin : god , no . i love you . i love our daughter . you have to believe that . patrick : then stay . say no to victor cassadine . say no to jason . and stay . robin : wait . patrick , do n't ! elizabeth : i 'm gon na leave you guys alone . i know you have a lot to talk about . dante : is elizabeth right ? are you ... are you upset about this ? britt : nikolas , you ca n't be serious . i mean , you just found out that i have a kid with your brother - in - law . and you want to propose ? tonight ? nikolas : it kind of looks that way . so , what i hope is for the last time ... [ laughs ] ... will you marry me ? britt : [ sighs ] yes . yes , i 'll marry you . [ chuckles , sniffs ] nikolas : okay . just for now , i 'm gon na put it on your right hand , till your wrist heals , okay ? britt : okay . nikolas : okay . i really love you . britt : i love you more . lulu : how could i be upset ? dante , this is what you 've always wanted . dante : yeah , but it 's what ... it 's also what we 've always wanted . lulu : yeah , and your son ... he 's gon na be a part of both of our lives . dante : [ breathes deeply ] lulu : are you okay ? dante : yeah . it 's just ... hearing you say that -- hearing you say that , `` my son `` ... [ both laugh ] dante : i got a son . lulu : yeah . brad : i 'm really sorry . felix : no , no , enough with the sorrys . i do n't blame you for being with someone else . we 're both adults , right ? i just -- it 's just not the way i envisioned the night going at all . brad : this is not how i envisioned it , either . felix : hey , better we know now , right ? you know , that we 're looking for different things . maybe you and lucas are more on the same page . brad : felix , come on . felix : i 'll see you at the hospital . ava : i assume this summons is about the information i gave you . i told you it 's authentic . sonny : so far . i got a question , though , about the jump drive . ava : ask away . sonny : who do you answer to ? ava : no one . despite what julian thinks , he and i are -- were equal partners . sonny : that 's not what i meant . 'cause according to your records , your brother 's media company ... has a money man . ava : no . julian -- he built that company himself . the only help he got was my art gallery , to launder funds . sonny : take a look yourself . ava : i ... i did n't know anything about that . sonny : looks like your brother 's been keeping secrets from you . you two did n't rebuild the jerome empire by yourselves . somebody else has been bankrolling your organization for years . [ beeps ] julian : well , well , well ... speak of the devil . [ next_on ] sonny : britt 's little boy ? dante : he 's my son . lulu : ( to tracy ) dante found out that he has a son ... with another woman . elizabeth : ( to robin ) i want nikolas . i 'm still in love with him . patrick : ( to lucy ) she 's not going to be here for the nurse 's ball . franco : ( to kevin ) last time i saw my father , he was on his way to miscavige . anna : ( to heather ) tell me what you 've done with luke .
nikolas and britt go to dante and lulu 's loft . elizabeth tries to stop nikolas from talking , but he spills that dante is ben 's father . elizabeth ca n't wait to fill in the detail that britt stole dante 's sperm sample from the lab . britt reveals that saint elizabeth ran an illegal dna test . lulu ca n't believe elizabeth did that without telling them . elizabeth claims that she did n't want to get their hopes up and be wrong . britt says her mother obtained the sample and swears that she did n't know who the father was until today when elizabeth confronted her . lulu wonders why elizabeth did n't tell them the minute she found out . elizabeth says it was when lulu told her that she did n't want to use an egg donor , because she thought she would regard the child as dante 's child with another woman , so she did n't think it was the right time to mention it . dante asks lulu how she feels knowing that he does have a child with another woman . she says she is not upset that he has a son and that he will be a part of both of their lives . she asks him how he is taking it . he is overwhelmed to know that he has a son . britt tells nikolas that she ruined his valentine 's day plans and that he must be relieved that they did n't get engaged . he says he has n't changed his mind and offers her the ring again . elizabeth watches unseen as nikolas goes down on one knee to ask britt to marry him , and britt accepting his proposal .

[ scoffs ] [ breathes deeply ] [ cell phone vibrating ] morgan : oh , lucas . lucas : hey , man . morgan : how 's it going ? lucas : good , good . you here to check on your mom ? morgan : yeah , she was n't in her room , so -- lucas : she 's in there with franco . oh , no , whoa , whoa . they 're sleeping . morgan : oh . wow . lucas : yeah . yeah . i know . it 's a lot for me to process , too . my sister 's involved with a serial killer . morgan : ah . well , `` reformed `` serial killer . do n't forget the `` reformed `` part . i 'm sure she wo n't let you , but , yeah , franco 's mom 's hero now , and everything he did before , i guess , is just ... lucas : oh , yeah . the tumor made him do it . morgan : yeah . exactly . lucas : well , it must have been pretty weird for you to find out . morgan : uh , i guess no weirder than my mom finding out i was with ava . julian : where you been ? ava : out . julian : with whom ? ava : i 'm sorry . did i miss curfew ? julian : what ? i 'm just taking an interest in your life . ava : since when ? julian : mm . ava : i was with kiki . julian : huh . ava : and what does that mean , `` huh `` ? julian : oh . [ clears throat ] i , uh ... just happened to see my niece earlier . she made it sound like you two were still on the outs . ava : well , we 're working on our relationship . julian : i see . ahh . you have fun ? ava : yes . julian : where 'd you go ? ava : if you have something to say , julian , why do n't you just say it ? julian : [ chuckles ] all right . what the hell were you doing with my laptop ? shawn : the addresses ava gave us are legit . we 've got a complete listing of the jerome safe houses in town . sonny : that 's gon na come in handy . shawn : you think that bodes well for the rest of the intel ? sonny : so far so good . come check out what else ava brought us . patrick : you 're just giving me excuses , and when one does n't work , you just add on another one . first , it 's medical work , then it 's obrecht . and then i tell you that emma and i will go with you so we can all be safe , and then you blame it on sabrina 's baby , robin . robin : your baby with sabrina . patrick : and then you tell me that you do n't want to be a family ? what is that ? this does n't make sense , so just tell me what is going on . it 's got to be something , robin . i really think that you might have post - traumatic stress because -- robin : what ? no . i do n't have ptsd , okay ? patrick : well , this does n't make sense , okay ? because the last time you went to africa , your medication was n't working . your protocol was n't working . so is that what 's going on ? robin : no , i 'm fine . i 'm healthy . it 's not that . patrick : what is it ? please , just tell me , because ... robin , i 'm your husband . will you look at me , please ? i love you . you have to tell me what is going on , because i can deal with it . what i ca n't -- robin : it 's jason . patrick : what ? i 'm doing this because of jason . elizabeth : well , are you gon na say something ? nikolas : liz ... dante : well , someone better start talking . britt : it 's true , dante . ben is your son . dante : i do n't -- i do n't -- i do n't understand . how is that even possible ? lulu : am i supposed to believe that dante slept with her ? dante : no , of course we did n't sleep together . look , i do n't know what the hell is happening right now . britt : i can explain . dante : well , i hope so . elizabeth : are you thinking up a cover story ? nikolas : liz , could you possibly summon a bit of tact here , please ? elizabeth : i 'm sorry . they 're never gon na get a straight answer out of her . the truth is , britt stole your sperm sample from the lab and used it to father her child . brad : here 's the deal . felix : who 's lucas ? ava : i did n't touch your computer . why would i touch your computer ? julian : you tell me . ava : i do n't even know your password . julian : not what alexis said . ava : davis ? julian : do you know any other ? oh , yeah , yeah . she said she was here . you claimed she could n't use my computer because i was downloading files , which is interesting , because i was n't . so the only person who could 've been downloading files ... was you . sonny : ava was n't lying . julian has been tracking corinthos coffee finances for months . shawn : it makes sense now why he was attacking the imports and the warehouse . sonny : crippling our legitimate business , which makes impossible to funnel through our other non - legitimate finances . shawn : he keeps this up , the money the team brings in wo n't be worth the paper it 's printed on . let 's see what else he 's got going here . what the hell is this ? patrick : what does jason have to do with you going to africa ? robin : i ca n't tell you . patrick : you 're damn right you 're gon na tell me , robin . you 're considering leaving your entire family , you 're gon na tell me what 's going on . robin : it 's so complicated -- patrick : then explain it to me , okay ? explain it to me . is it hard being back in port charles ... knowing that jason 's not here ? if that 's it , i can understand that . robin : ugh ! you 're not going to understand why i have to do this . patrick : please do not tell me what i am not gon na understand what it 's like to lose somebody , all right ? i -- i get that . it 's difficult , and i know it 's hard , but -- but jason is dead , robin . we can get over that . robin : he 's not dead . jason is alive . sonny : what 's this bastard doing with a file on jason ? shawn : well , jason was his grandson 's father . not surprising he 'd take an interest in him . sonny : no , no , this was way before danny . look . shawn : what do you think it means ? sonny : apparently ... julian 's been keeping tabs on my people ... for a very long time . ava : this is absurd . julian : is it ? ava : i do n't even know what you 're accusing me of . based solely on the word of alexis . julian : i trust her . ava : oh , please , julian . have you forgotten she 's sonny 's attorney ? julian : so ? ava : [ scoffs ] so , on the night of the art show , when the truth of your identity came to light , alexis was squarely on sonny 's side . and why should n't she be ? she shares a kid with him , too , not to mention years of history and the fact that he 's got her on retainer . julian : mm . ava : you add all of that up and it 's clear that alexis is trying to sow seeds of discontent between us . julian : possibly . or maybe you double - crossed me . felix : `` hope you 're having a great v - day . call me . let 's hang out again sometime . `` brad : oh , right ! lucas . sorry . it was just so out of context . yeah , he 's a -- he 's a friend of mine . no big deal . felix : a friend . brad : yeah , he 's -- he 's not even gay . felix : really ? uh , if he 's not even gay and he 's your friend ... how come he 's naked in your bed ? lucas : i 'm just curious about my newfound ... `` father . `` i do n't know julian , but it seems like you 've spent a good amount of time with him . i 'm just asking because ... well , i mean , you said that ava is n't as bad as everybody else says she is , and ... is it the same with julian ? morgan : well , you 've , uh -- you 've read about him , right ? lucas : yeah . and i 've run into him a few times . morgan : what ? what happened ? lucas : did n't go that great . when i told him i was gay , well , let 's just say he did n't take it too well . morgan : yeah , well , does n't surprise me . guy 's a real ass . lucas : yeah . i mean , he was up until he came and apologized to me . he told me he wanted to try to make it work , to try to have a relationship , and i 'm ... i mean , i 'm considering giving him a chance . ava : you 've completely lost your mind . julian : mm . have i ? ava : i would never do a thing like that . julian : oh , i do n't know , ava . you did n't have a problem with pointing a gun at me when you discovered that i 'd threatened morgan 's family . ava : i was upset . that 's a far cry from out - and - out betrayal . julian : well , i hope so . because , sister or no sister ... if y push me against the wall , i will take you out , ava . dante : is that true ? you used my sample to get pregnant with ben ? nikolas : yes , but she did n't know that it was yours . britt : nikolas , i appreciate you having my back , but it 's on me to explain . elizabeth : oh , please . we 're all ears . britt : [ clears throat ] yes . dante : yes , what ? britt : i used your sperm to father my child . lulu : why ? britt : i was in a really bad place last year . elizabeth : ugh ! do n't tell me you 're making excuses . britt : it 's not an excuse . it 's a fact . okay ? i mean , you all were there . you remember how patrick kicked me to the curb , and i was so hurt and so desperate to hold on to him that ... enter my mother . i -- dante : your mother ? what does your mother have to do with any of this ? britt : well , she was the one who came up with the brilliant plan for me to get pregnant in order to hold on to patrick . i still ca n't believe i let her talk me into it , but i did . elizabeth : so this is all dr. obrecht 's fault . britt : she 's right . i was the one who decided to go along with the crazy plan . dante : i 'm sorry . i do n't get this . i still do n't understand . i just -- i just -- i do -- i do n't understand ! britt : by the time that we decided to go through with it , we had to act quickly . lulu : otherwise , patrick would n't believe that the baby was his . britt : exactly . and there could n't be a paper trail , obviously . so we decided the fastest and easiest way to go about it was to use an existing sample from the lab . and we used yours . dante : so this is actually happening . your son , ben ... he 's mine . lulu : dante ... you 're a father . robin : jason is n't dead . i 've seen proof . patrick : you 're not going to africa . robin : no . i 'm not . patrick , i 'm so sorry ... that i lied to you . he said that i could n't tell you . patrick : who ? robin : victor cassadine . apparently , he 's nikolas ' uncle and the new head of the wsb , which nobody knows about , not even my parents . patrick : what does victor have to do with anything ? robin : because he showed up here ... to this house the other day ... and he told me that jason 's body was pulled from the water before he could die . and he offered me the chance to save him . patrick : `` offered you . `` robin : yeah , it 's supposed to be some incentive for me to help him with his family , but bottom line is that i have the chance to bring jason back to his wife and to his son . but that means that i have to leave port charles and it means that ... i have to leave you . patrick : he 's blackmailing you , okay ? this -- how do you know you can trust him ? this could be an old picture . jason could very well be dead . robin : because he showed me evidence that jason is still alive . but you 're right . you 're right . i do n't know if i can trust him . but what else -- i mean , what other choice do i have ? patrick : what ? you have a choice to stay here , where you belong , with us , not run off on some ... adventure five minutes after you got home . robin : an adventure ? patrick : well ... robin : that 's what you 're gon na call this ? my friend , his life is hanging in the balance . i ca n't just ignore that . patrick : did you already tell victor that you would do this ? robin : i did n't at first . patrick : but eventually you -- you said you would ? robin : yes . patrick : right . so you were just gon na leave , right ? you were gon na leave without saying sorry or come up with some fake excuse ? you were just gon na abandon emma ? robin : do n't say that . patrick : that 's exactly what is happening , robin ? can you not understand that ? i can not believe that you 're doing this to us again ! felix : that 's the same guy that was in the exam room with you . you said he was a patient . brad : okay , technically , you assumed that . felix : fine . but you had no problem letting me believe it . brad : [ sighs ] felix : look , i 'm not mad , okay ? we never made any promises to each other . but i think you owe it to yourself to be up front . are you and lucas sleeping together ? brad : we did . felix : you slept with him . brad : it was weeks ago . you and i had that big fight at work , and for a couple days afterward , we were n't even speaking . i went down to the floating rib one night to drown my sorrows , and -- felix : and there he was . brad : we got to talking . weirdly ... it turns out we have a lot in common . before i knew it , one thing led to another , and ... but then the next day , you and i made up . felix : and you did n't say anything because ... ? brad : i thought i 'd never see him again . felix : it was just that one time , when we were on the outs ? brad , it was just one night , right ? brad : not exactly . morgan : this is kind of awkward . lucas : oh , look . i 'm sorry . i do n't mean to put you on the spot . morgan : oh , no , no , no . look , i know julian 's your dad . i just do n't want to lie to you . lucas : no . please , truth . i can handle it . morgan : okay . he 's really bad news , man . he 's , like , really , really bad news . lucas : okay . but ... i mean , people say the same thing about your father . morgan : yeah , yeah , i -- that 's true , but -- but ... julian did something that my dad never would 've done . lucas : what did he do ? morgan : when i wanted to quit julian 's organization ... he threatened to hurt people i care about -- michael , my mom ... lucas : what kind of threat ? lucas : he said that i 'd walk around the rest of my life knowing that someone innocent died because of me . lucas : all because you did n't want to work for him anymore . morgan : yeah . and he was n't just threatening my family . he was threatening yours , too . okay , look , look , i -- i 'm not telling you what to do , 'cause , trust me , i know how annoying that is ... lucas : no , no , i -- i totally get it . i 'm -- i 'm grateful . morgan : it 's completely your decision if you want to let julian into your life . i 'm just letting you know who you 'll dealing with . ava : you would n't kill your own sister . julian : really ? well , we both know i 've done it before . olivia , my dear sister , may she rest in peace , pushed me too far . i advise you to avoid making the same mistake . ava : maybe you 're the one who does n't know who he 's dealing with , huh ? do n't underestimate my willingness to end you , either . julian : oh , feisty tonight , are n't we ? ava : i will do whatever i have to do to survive . sonny may not be able to take you out because of danny , but trust me -- that little brat you call a grandson means nothing to me . sonny : he 's even got danny 's medical records here . shawn : amazing , is n't it ? that kid 's the only thing keeping jerome breathing . sonny : i 'm more interested in finding out what 's keeping him in business . is that what i think it is ? shawn : damn . is ... is that for real ? sonny : get ava over here now . ava : do n't smirk at me like that . i will kill you ... even if little danny is the one who pays the price . [ ringtone sounds ] ava : now , if you 'll excuse me , i have to go before i say ... or do something i 'll regret . julian : let me guess -- kiki again ? ava : good night . sleep tight . dante : why should i believe you ? elizabeth : because it 's true . i ran a dna test . britt : behind everyone 's backs . elizabeth : [ sighs ] britt : but it 's okay because you 're `` saint `` elizabeth . elizabeth : do n't even go there . dante : you ran a dna test ? how ? w - why ? i noticed that you and ben had the exact same allergy , and it set off alarm bells . lulu : why did n't you tell us ? elizabeth : because i know how much you guys have gone through trying to conceive , and what if i was wrong ? dante : so -- so you got suspicious . and then what ? elizabeth : i took some hair from ben 's brush and compared it to a water bottle you 'd been drinking from . they were a match . dante : you 've been keeping this a secret the entire time ? britt : no , i -- i swear . i did n't know . i just found out you were the father today . elizabeth : oh , my god . britt : i had no clue until elizabeth confronted me with the test . dante : and your mother ? what about her ? britt : i do n't know . if i had to guess , i 'm sure she knew the truth . but as far as i was concerned , we used an anonymous sperm donor . elizabeth : you are n't really buying this , are you ? britt : it never crossed my mind that ben could be yours . if it -- if it had ... dante , i knew how badly you wanted to be a father . i could 've never kept something like that from you . nikolas : listen , man ... i know this is all a shock to you , but ... can you say something ? anything ? dante : i , uh ... i want to see my son . patrick : your child has been without you for two years . i -- i do n't even know how you -- how you consider leaving . robin : what about jason 's child ? what about the child that he does n't even know he has ? do you really think that it 's the right thing to do to let danny grow up never knowing his own father ? patrick : i do n't care . robin : what ? patrick : i do n't care . robin : you do n't care ? about a defenseless little baby ? patrick : i care about our baby ... the one that slept with a picture beside her bed every single night because she thought you were watching over her . what were you gon na do ? just ... say you 're sorry ? `` jason 's son is more important than you `` ? robin : that is not fair . patrick : no , robin , you 're right . this -- this is not fair . robin : can you please , just this once , try to understand about jason ? patrick : i think i got it . yeah . i think i have it . jason is untouchable . i 'm -- i 'm never gon na get to -- to jason 's level . robin : just stop it ! patrick : no . i get it . he 's the most important thing in the world to you . i understand that . but you do n't understand jason was a gangster . robin : he was n't to me , okay ? and you 've never understood what jason meant to me . patrick : come on ! robin : do n't -- do n't say `` come on . `` do n't say `` come on . `` if it was n't for him , i would n't even be here , okay ? we would 've never met , never gotten married , we never would have had a little girl . he literally saved my life . patrick : yeah , i thought the meds did that . robin : right . who do you think got me to take them , okay ? when i had 40 pills a day to take with no guarantee of them ever working , ever , who do you think convinced me that my life was even worth living ? ca n't you understand that if i have a chance to save his life -- even a small chance -- i have to take it . patrick : you do n't . look , i 'm grateful for jason . i 'm glad that he was that person for you , but there are limits to what you can do ... to try and pay him back . robin : he needs me right now . patrick : god , i ... robin , we need you . robin : patrick , he 's going to die if i do n't save him , okay ? sabrina needs you here . i mean -- patrick : why would you even bring that up ? robin : why ? because i had to give you weeks -- weeks -- to make your choice . okay ? and ... because this just fell into my lap , and it -- and it 's jason . patrick : and it 's jason , right . 'cause he 's more important than our family . right ? patrick : oh , come on . robin : doing something that is right , even when it is so difficult -- patrick : robin , do n't do that . do n't -- do n't turn it around like that . robin : that is what i 'm doing . patrick : no , you 're not doing this for emma . that 's a cop out . you 're putting jason before our family . but you know what ? i should n't be surprised because it 's not the first time that you 've done that . morgan : what are you gon na do ? lucas : i do n't know . i guess i have a lot to think about . lucas : uh , anyway , for what it 's worth , man , i 'm really sorry about you and ava . morgan : oh . lucas : i guess you 're probably having a pretty crappy valentine 's day . morgan : yeah . uh ... so -- so w - what about you ? are you seeing anyone right now ? lucas : uh ... morgan : oh , come on . get out of here . mom was saying that you 're , like , some kind of don juan or something like that ? lucas : what ? no ! morgan : yeah . lucas : well , okay . i guess there is this one dude . morgan : see ? there it is . lucas : well , there 's this one guy ...

[ scene_break ] alexis : yesterday he wanted all of her , today he only wants half . god only knows what tomorrow will bring . congratulations , lady justice . he 's manipulated the system yet again . ric : ok , you 're right , yes , i do think that the judge is sympathetic to sonny . i also think that she may find in favor of him , so i want you to be honest with yourself -- is shared custody better than the judge making kristina go live with sonny full - time ? alexis : i told you this would happen . so what do you think ? i should agree with him ? ric : that 's up to you . [ scene_break ] emily : you want to go to prison in nikolas ' place ? connor : that 's right . emily : do you understand that he got life without the possibility of parole ? connor : i do , i do . emily : and you expect me to believe that you 're going to spend the rest of your life in prison ? connor : listen , i 'll go to prison for two years , all right ? that 'll give you and nikolas time to set up somewhere where no one will ever find you , all right ? then i 'll come forward with the truth and the d.n.a . will back me up . emily : and you think they 're just going to let you out after you helped a killer go free ? connor : i might get a few more years , but i wo n't get life . emily : ok , you 're crazy , and you must think i am , too , if you 're asking me to go along with this . connor : look , you do n't have to decide right now , you know ? just take your time . emily : why ca n't you just leave us alone ? connor : because . because you warned me that revenge would n't solve nothing , and you were right . you know , i had no right to try and punish nikolas for what he did , to try and blackmail him , to push him into confessing . i was just trying to blame him for something i did , you know ? mary 's death is on my hands , not his . and all i can do now is make amends by giving nikolas his life back , all right ? that 's what i 'm doing here . ok ? i owe it to the both of you .

[ scene_break ] lorenzo : when did you realize i survived the ambush ? maria : right after diego was born , my mother died during the delivery . there were complications , and i was left with a baby brother to take care of . i was sure that you blamed me for the shooting , so i convinced myself that if you or your brother found me you would kill me . lorenzo : i 'm sorry . maria : it 's not your fault . i was an idiot . lorenzo : no , no , no , i never gave you a reason to expect me to listen or to understand . maria : thanks to the money i took , i was able to give diego a comfortable life . i went to school , but i never legalized my immigration . so when he was 10 , i was deported and he was sent to foster care . lorenzo : so you 're who diego went to see in mexico ? one of the girls he took with him is the daughter of a friend of mine . maria : i was so happy to see him . but i 'm getting married , and my fiancé knows nothing about my family or my past . lorenzo : so you sent diego back to port charles . maria : i did n't want to . i knew you were here , and i thought that if you found out who he was that you would use him for revenge . lorenzo : did i treat you so badly that you thought i was that kind of monster ? maria : i felt guilty about the shooting , but i see that i completely misjudged you . but i was trying to protect diego , and i told him to stay away from you , that you were dangerous , and now he 's completely convinced himself that you -- that you killed our father . lorenzo : convinced himself ? maria : i never said it . i would never accuse you of a murder you did not commit . but i do n't like thinking about our time together . i 'm ashamed of who i was and how i acted . lorenzo : so you 're afraid of me ? diego heard that in your voice and assumed the worst . maria : diego 's young and impulsive and he will try to attack you , and , obviously , you have to defend yourself , but please , do n't hurt him ? please ? lorenzo : i wo n't , i promise . maria : thank you . lorenzo : i used to wonder what happened to you . i 'm glad you 're all right . maria : you know , watching you get shot changed my life . i stopped the drugs , became responsible . as awful as it was , it saved me . lorenzo : well , if there 's anything i can do for you , anything you need ? maria : as long as i know diego 's safe , i 'll be fine . lorenzo : i 'm glad you came to me . maria : me , too . thank you .

jill : well , of course . you had to pursue it then , and , knowing what we know now , it 's really good that you confronted him . billy : i 'm not gon na apologize for protecting my wife and son from a guy who could kill his own father . jill : darling , the way you 're saying your wife and your son , it sounds like someday you think victoria is gon na be grateful to you for discovering this . billy : so , what 's wrong with that ? jill : so , you do n't think the marriage is beyond repair ? billy : okay , do n't take this the wrong way , but i do n't care what you or nick or anyone else thinks . i know what we share . as hurt and as angry as she is , the love is still there . jill : so , now that she knows the truth about this other man , you really believe that he is no longer an issue ? stitch : after jenna divorced me and moved to australia , i could n't imagine starting over . i figured that part of my life was done . then suddenly , there was victoria . i let myself believe that we could be happy together , that we could have this amazing future . you know , that 's how i lost my wife and son ... when the truth came out . kelly : ben , victoria just found out about all of this . she is still reeling . you 're still the man that she fell in love with . it 's possible , in time , that she could get past this , right ? it does n't have to be over . jack : hi , sweetheart . kelly : oh , hi . jack : i 'm not sure what to call you . stitch : my name is ben . my friends call me `` stitch . `` but you can call me whatever you want . victoria : hey . you know , i 'm really glad you 're here . i wanted to talk to you about ben . you 've known him since the war , right ? dylan : yeah . yeah . we clicked right away . victoria : did you know anything about his background ? dylan : well , stitch was the type of guy who did n't really talk much . victoria : yeah . i think i remember you telling me that . dylan : did n't matter , though . everybody liked him ... which might sound kind of strange . victoria : no . i get it . dylan : you know , when you 're in a combat zone , you do n't -- u do n't really learn about a guy by how much they say , you know ? it 's what they do , how they respond to the pressure . and when i found out that he 'd killed his old man , i was completely blindsided . i could n't -- i could n't reconcile a crime like that with a guy i spent all that time with overseas . but stitch is not a cold- blooded killer . and i got to believe that he 's still a good guy . victoria : no . he 's a good liar . dylan : i got to get to work . avery : listen , you and victoria are entitled to your opinions , but i still think there 's more to this . dylan : [ sighs ] avery : so , you said that you wanted some legal advice . victoria : i 'm here to ask about my legal rights -- or should i say ben and billy 's rights ? avery : i take it this is about the baby ? victoria : neither one of them is trustworthy , and they 've proven that , and i do n't want them anywhere near this child . so , i decided to not take the dna test to determine the paternity . and i want to know if they can compel me to do it . avery : in a word ... yes . victoria : [ sighs ] billy : i 'm pretty sure that vicki 's through with dr. deception , at least for now . jill : so , what makes you think that ? billy : i overheard her telling her obstetrician that she does n't want to have the paternity test . jill : at all ? ! billy : she said she does n't care who the father is , that this is her child . jill : well , the woman 's hormones are all over the place . i mean , that 's no solution . obviously , she 's not thinking clearly . billy : well , it tells me a hell of a lot . jill : what ? billy : she -- she went after stitch when she was in pain . she made up her mind that he was this perfect guy before she ever looked at him too closely . jill : so , once she gets over the shock of what he 's done , you think that she 'll turn back to you ? sweetheart , just be prepared , okay ? sometimes love is n't always enough . billy : believe me , mom -- i know how badly i screwed up . and i know that there is a very good chance that victoria is never gon na take me back . but if this baby is mine , i 've still got a shot . victoria : after seeing what my mom 's gone through with ian , i know that eventually i 'm gon na have to identify the father . but do i have to take the test now ? i mean , the way that billy and ben have acted , what gives them the right to force me to do anything ? avery : okay , victoria . you 're not gon na like this , but ... you chose to be sexually involved with two men . that usually leads to complications . victoria : i guess my mom was right when she said i rushed in to things with ben to try to break things off with billy . it 's just that he hurt me so badly . when i asked ben if he was hiding anything , like billy said he was , he lied to my face , avery . i ca n't trust him around this child . avery : well , i think it 's more you ca n't trust him around your heart . victoria : what are you doing ? are you defending him ? avery : ben did his time . he turned his entire life around . that 's how the justice system is supposed to work . now , too often , it does n't . victoria : i left billy because he betrayed me , and billy betrayed me , and so , yes , i am looking out for my heart . but you know there 's more to it than that . you know my history . avery : i understand . victoria : i have to protect this baby . and i ca n't be under this kind of stress . it 's just not good for me . it 's the main reason that i do n't want to take his paternity test now . i want to have as much control over this situation as i possibly can , and if you ca n't help me with this , avery , then i will find a lawyer who can . avery : i can help you . speaking from my own experience , i know how dangerous stress can be to a pregnancy . i 'll help you . i 'll represent you . i will advocate for you and your child . victoria : thank you . avery : now , to answer your question , you are n't required to take a paternity test until the baby is born , and i will make damn sure that no one intimidates you to do it sooner . stitch : hey . you got a minute ? obviously , victoria is n't speaking to me . dylan : yeah , victoria 's a wreck . she came to see avery as i was heading out . stitch : i did n't realize they were friends . i 'm hoping we still are . dylan : help me understand . stitch : look , i hated lying to you , mac , and everyone else . what happened with my father -- it 's a part of who i am , but it 's not the only part . it does n't define me as a person . dylan : you know , uh , i grew up believing that the people who raised me were my biological parents . but my mother lied to me and everybody else except for my aunt until the day she lied . and then chelsea lied to me about connor , and then ian lied to me about being my father . it was lies on top of lies , and now you unload this lie , not because you wanted to but because you had to . you were my best friend . why did n't you ever tell me the truth ? i mean , you ask if we 're still friends . i do n't even know your real name . clearly , i 'm no judge of character . stitch : yes . actually , you are . [ doorbell rings ] chelsea : oh . kevin : yeah , it 's me . try not to look so crushed . chelsea : no , i 'm not . it 's just -- kevin : you were just hoping i was some hunky stranger ready to whisk you away to some exotic location where we 'd spend our days basking in the sun , spend our nights making sweet , sweet love . chelsea : kevin -- kevin : or maybe you were just hoping i was billy . chelsea : i -- what ? what is it that you want me to say , kevin ? kevin : uh , how 'bout `` thanks , `` for starters , considering i committed multiple felonies to get into ben rayburn 's personnel file ? chelsea : you hacked into memorial 's computer ? kevin : well , i like to reserve the term `` hacked `` for something that is n't child 's play . are n't you at all curious what i found out ? chelsea : billy 's not speaking to me . i have no use for it . so , i 'm sorry you went to all that trouble , although i know you get such a rush when you pull it off . kevin : [ chuckles ] stitch murdered his dad , stole some dead kid 's identity , and that 's the least of his troubles . too bad you 're not interested in finding out what 's in here , because if any of this came out , the guy 's whole future would be toast -- toast . [ sighs ] wyatt : there 's no way you got released that soon . quinn : released ? i checked in voluntarily . wyatt : mom , it has n't even been that long . if you 're trying to tell me that everything is fine -- quinn : relax . i 'm still in treatment . wyatt : huh . quinn : hey , are n't you glad to see me ? wyatt : of course i am . quinn : i missed you . wyatt : you know , it 's been n dylan : so , i was right . there is more to the story . what is it ? what are n't you telling me ? stitch : just ... trust your instincts , mac . we -- we saved a lot of lives , did a lot of good . dylan : that 's it ? th - that 's it ? that 's all you 're gon na give me ? stitch : i had just put my past to rest . i was rebuilding my life after jenna left . i am sick about the fact that it all came out again , sick about what it cost me , what it 's going to cost me . right now all i want to do is forget this ever happened . dylan : [ sighs ] avery : sorry to interrupt . dylan : it 's fine . stitch : dylan said you saw victoria . how is she ? avery : how do you think she is ? avery : how are you ? dylan : [ sighs ] i know there 's more to this than what he 's saying . i just do n't understand why he ca n't trust me enough to tell me . kelly : ben alluded to this not being over . jack : you mean victoria ? kelly : no , i do n't think that 's what he was referring to . but since we 're on the subject , um , i 'm really hoping victoria has it in her to give my brother another chance . jack : forgive me if i do n't share your sentiments . we are talking about my brother 's wife . kelly : right . um ... you know what ? maybe we should change the subject . jack : good . let 's do . i 've been wanting to talk about yesterday , when i told you i love you and you said you feel the same way . kelly : as long as you realize , jack , i come with a lot of baggage . jack : well , sugar , i own a whole line of luggage stores . baggage is not gon na scare me . kelly : you need to understand , though , that loving me means inheriting all of my problems -- my past , my tragedies . jack : sounds like you 're giving me an out . i do n't want one . kelly : jack -- jack : relationships are easy at the beginning . when there 's conflict , how two people handle it -- that 's the real test . i love you . that means your problems are my problems now . that means i wo n't go running at the first sign of trouble . that 's what i mean when i say , `` i love you . `` kelly : take me home ? kevin : when rayburn applied for his medical license , as well as his job at memorial , there was a question on the form -- `` have you ever committed a felony ? `` i 'll give you three guesses how he answered . chelsea : he lied . he said no . kevin : bam ! and i bet he lied to get into med school and the army . chelsea : stitch 's career -- his entire life -- kevin : never mind the good doctor losing his license . he committed fraud multiple times , on top of the original identity theft . last time i checked , that sent you to prison -- not that i 'm gon na say anything . this is a gift from me to you . knowledge is power , grasshopper . [ doorbell rings ] victoria : i 'm coming ! ohh . [ sighs ] what do you want ? billy : just came by to see johnny . victoria : come in . so , i assume that you 'll take this opportunity to gloat about ben . billy : i 'm not sorry that the truth came out , but i did n't come over with any agenda . i just want to play blocks with my kid . no matter what happens between us , i 'm always gon na be there for our son . victoria : i really wish you would have let me know you were coming by . ohh . billy : vic , you okay ? victoria : huh ? yeah . i 'm fine . i 'm fine . it 's perfectly normal . [ chuckles softly ] billy : the baby 's moving ? may i ? victoria : look , johnny is your son , so you can check on him anytime you like , but he 's napping now , so next time when you 're planning to stop by , would you call first so i can let you know the best time to visit ? billy : look , whatever else happens between us , i know that we 're always gon na work together as parents , but this baby that you 're carrying is going to need a father , too , even if you do n't intend on finding out who it is . victoria : wait a second . how could you -- billy : i was at the hospital . victoria : [ chuckles ] are you stalking me now ? billy : no . i happened to be there , and i overheard what you told the doctor . victoria : oh , see ? well , how convenient . billy : i know that you 're going through a lot right now . so am i . but there is one thing that i am clear on , and that is that i do n't want rayburn anywhere near our little boy . i 'm sure that that is something we can both agree on . victoria : look , billy , you got what you wanted . the information that you found out on ben has me completely terrified . so , i hope you 're happy . billy : you 're beautiful , victoria . you 're a beautiful mother . jill : all right , listen -- if we 're opening this third boutique , we 're really gon na need foot traffic -- either that or a captive audience the way we have here or the way we have at the jabot building with our original one . lauren : no , that 's a good point . jill : so , every time we open a new satellite , we are eroding the status of our flagship , and that 's what 's carried us for years with our main boutique . so , expanding this quickly is just gon na make our original boutique less and less of a destination . lauren : yeah . okay . jill : yeah . well , uh , colin gave me some really interesting information on this subject . also , he told me how to manage our finances completely . but since it 's colin , you know , i thought that i should n't just run with it . lauren : whatever you want to do is fine by me . jill : okay . i knew you were n't paying attention . lauren : yes , i am . jill : you just gave colin carte blanche to run our finances , little sis . lauren : what ? ! jill : [ laughing ] yes , you did . lauren : oh , my god . jill : okay . so , here . you have my attention . what has you so distracted ? lauren : fen has announced this morning that he 's going to college at arizona state and arts in the fall . jill : but that 's terrific ! is n't that terrific ? lauren : it 's so far away . jill : you got to cut the apron strings sometime . lauren : look , i know it 's important for him to be independent . you know , all i can think about is everything that he has struggled with . jill : so , you 're worried if he gets homesick or overwhelmed , he 's gon na turn back to the drugs ? lauren : god , i hope not . you know , it 's a big step . i just want him to be ready . and scotty was always self - sufficient , even when he was a little boy . fen -- jill : fen , not so much . lauren : no . i know he 's not a kid anymore , and this is an important part of growing up . jill : mm - hmm . but he 's still your baby . lauren : yeah . jill : he 'll always be your baby , the way my billy 's my baby . lauren : yeah . how are billy and victoria ? jill : not good . victoria is determined to go through with the divorce , and i can tell that billy is still hopeful about getting her back . it 's breaking my heart . lauren : oh , that just sets him up for more heartbreak . jill : but you know what ? lauren : hmm ? jill : billy is a grown man , right ? and he 's capable of making his own choices . lauren : you 're right . they 're still our babies . and we will always , always worry about them . jill : yeah . harding : good of you to drop by . kevin : i was here . harding : yeah , and then you left . where 'd you go ? kevin : what , i 'm not allowed to take a break ? harding : you know , lately , you 've been 90 % breaks , 10 % work . that does n't fly around here , fish , especially not with the boss taking a lighter schedule so he can recover . we all have to put in the hours so he does n't have to . you get what i 'm saying ? kevin : who died and appointed you my keeper ? harding : you know , there is an unwritten code around here that you do n't seem to be able to read , but , then again , you 're not a cop , are you ? you 're a criminal who just works here so he can stay out of prison . kevin : is there a point to all this , or can i get back to work ? harding : you know , if it were up to me , you would n't be here . but since it 's not , the chief of surgery from memorial came in earlier today with a case that 's right up your alley . kevin : oh , yeah -- the computer thing . i heard . harding : yeah . so , figure out who did the deed . kevin : it would be a waste of time . harding : really ? why is that ? kevin : because the firewall at memorial is superweak . anybody could get into it . the list of suspects would be enormous . harding : well , if it 's so simple , then why would someone go through the trouble of stealing dr. shelby 's i.d . badge ? kevin : must have been some dope looking for a shortcut . but you know what ? if it 'll get you out of my face , i 'll look into it . michael : hey . harding : hi . michael : hey . um , kevin , i 'd like to speak to you for a minute . i got something to discuss with you . got a second ? kevin : sorry . detective smiley here says i ca n't take any more breaks . harding : [ chuckles ] no , it 's no problem , counselor . i 'm just messing with him . take all the time you need . michael : come outside , please . harding : `` dr. barton shelby . `` surprise , surprise . kelly : you know ... when you said those words to me ... yesterday ... it scared me . jack : why ? kelly : i do n't know . i guess i was n't sure that i would ever hear them again . i 've been standing on my own for so long , jack ... without anybody to count on . jack : you have me now . jack : so , you talked about ... how difficult it all was for your brother . what about you ? you did n't just lose your father -- your brother killed him . i do n't think i can begin to understand what that must feel like ... or how you ever begin to put your life back together after that . kelly : well , um , i was in school when it happened , and it was a complete nightmare . [ chuckles ] you know , when i got the call , i mean , i could n't comprehend . i did n't understand how something like that could happen . i still do n't . and i could n't face ben , so i just shut him out of my life ... for years . i mean , it 's only recently that i 've been able to open the door a little and let him back in , even if i do n't ever forgive him . jack : what about your mom ? kelly : mom ? ahh . yeah . i do n't think i 've forgiven her , either . jack : for what ? kelly : well , she was on ben 's side right after it happened . i mean ... my father was barely in the ground , and she was all , `` let 's save ben ! we 've got to save ben ! `` [ laughs ] wow . i sound terrible , do n't i , like i 've been walking around consumed by these grudges for all these years ? jack : these are giant , all - consuming grudges . kelly : but it 's not like that , jack , i swear . i mean , i ... i moved on , okay ? i mean , i barely even thought about this for years . it was n't until i saw ben at crimson lights that ... you know , i just -- i had to move on . [ cell phone chimes ] kelly : oh , boy . [ chuckles ] somebody has lousy timing , huh ? [ sighs ] sorry . jack : is it work ? kelly : yeah . i think i forgot to tell somebody that i was taking off . jack : you know what ? you go ahead and get that . i 'll get us something to drink . kelly : thank you . avery : if stitch is still hiding something , there has to be a reason . dylan : yeah , that 's what they all say . avery : [ sighs ] okay , listen to me -- i know that there are a lot of people in your life that have hurt you with these secrets , people you 've loved unconditionally , and you must feel right now like they 've all put something over on you somehow . dylan : you know , actually , it 's humiliating , and it makes me question my own judgment . avery : i understand why you feel that way , but you can look at this from another angle . dylan : [ sighs ] what do you mean ? avery : your adopted mother , penny -- she acted out of love . all she wanted was for you and your father to have a loving family , and that 's what you had . you had a wonderful upbringing . i know . i was there . and nikki has always had your best interests at heart , even when ian ward did n't . and i think we can both forgive her for not realizing that paul was your real father . now , stitch -- whatever he 's hiding , i do n't know , but i would guess that it has nothing to do with you and your friendship . he concealed a crime and he paid for that crime and he came out of that terrible experience and he rebuilt his life , right ? he became a soldier . he became a doctor . he became a man worthy of being your friend -- your best friend . so , ca n't you understand that maybe he wants to put this behind him and have a little peace ? stitch : i had to see you . victoria : ben ... stitch : look , there are a lot of people looking at me like they do n't know who i am . and i can handle that . i do n't care what anyone else thinks about me . only you . chelsea : i see you got my messages . billy : you asked how i used the information you gave me on stitch . well , i confronted him , exposed him as the lying murderer that he is , not that it did a lot of good for my marriage . i 'm sure you can figure out why . chelsea : i understand you 're still upset . but there 's something else i need to tell you . billy : [ sighs ] kevin : arizona state ? that 's amazing ! michael : it 's about a million miles away . kevin : what -- what are you worried about ? fen is gon na -- harding : fisher . kevin : harding , what ? what is it now ? have you completely run out of people to harass ? why me ? harding : this is why . michael : what is that ? kevin : dr. barton shelby 's i.d . what does that have to do with me ? harding : well , would n't you know i found it in your desk ? you 're under arrest . jack : i love you . that means your problems are my problems now . that means i wo n't go running at the first sign of trouble . that 's what i mean when i say , `` i love you . `` kelly : jack , where 'd you go ? ! hey ! you were gone so long , i was starting to wonder if you fell in . phyllis ' perfume ? jack : i brought a bottle home when she went off to the clinic -- little reminders of her here and there . kelly : are you thinking of her ? jack : it 's complicated . kelly : no , it 's not , jack . you 're feeling guilty , are n't you ? jack : yeah . to be honest , i am . billy : like what -- more dirt on rayburn ? i mean , has n't there been enough damage done already ? chelsea : well , i guess that would have to be your call . billy : what has come out so far has only made things worse for me and vicki . chelsea : that 's why i did n't come to you as soon as i knew . i mean , you said that you were gon na drop the search , and -- billy : and ? chelsea : and i 'm lying . that 's not why i withheld the information . i did n't tell you about stitch because i did n't want you getting back together with victoria . i did n't want to lose you . victoria : you stood on the other side of that door and you told me that you did n't lie to me and that you did n't do anything wrong . and you know what ? i believe that you would say that right now to my face if you thought it would fix things . how am i supposed to believe one word that comes out of your mouth ? how do i believe one word that you say ? am i missing something ? stitch : yes . [ next_on ] kurtz : it 's a fake . kevin : you can not lock me up . harding : look , you can bark all you want . the judge wo n't be able to hear you from your holding cell . jack : i do n't think i have a choice . i think i have to leave you .

<s>[INST] billy : i 'm an ass . jack : you have your moments . billy : you kept me in the dark about stitch 's past because kelly asked you to . jack : it 's not that i chose her over you . billy : and then you defended yourself by claiming that you were in an impossible situation , and i came down on you pretty hard . but after thinking about it ... jack : not necessarily a specialty of yours . billy : right . i can see your side of it , jack . you made a promise to kelly that you did n't want to break because ... you 're getting serious about her . and i should n't have been so hard on you . that kind of trust is what it 's gon na take if you guys are gon na make it . it 's the real reason that my marriage is broken . victoria does n't think she can trust me anymore . jack : apology accepted . [ cell phone rings ] billy : hey . it 's me . you know the drill . leave a message . chelsea : okay , i get it . you do n't want to talk to me . kevin and i kept digging after you told us not to , and now everything 's blown up . i guess this is my punishment . fine . [ sighs ] i just want to make sure you 're okay . and i need to know what you did with that information i gave you on stitch . kelly : ben . hey . um ... listen , about what happened -- the way it all came out -- um , i 'm ... stitch : sorry ? dylan : i 'm just having a hard time wrapping my mind around this . avery : that 's not surprising . dylan : to think that i 've known that guy for years and had no clue that he did time for killing his old man -- how is that -- how is that even possible ? avery : okay . as unsettling as this is , i understand why stitch did n't say anything . dylan : seriously ? avery : yes . i have had clients that wanted to keep the past behind them . they did n't want to be identified for a mistake they made and paid for years ago . dylan : this is n't about lawyers and clients . this is about stitch , and he was my friend . avery : he is still your friend . dylan : what kind of friend deceives you like that for years ? i confided in him , and he was n't honest with me in return . [ doorbell rings ] victoria : oh , hi , avery . i 'm sorry to drop by so early , but i could use some legal advice . dylan : what are you planning to do ? lauren : ahh . oh , thank you . with what fen just dropped on us , i may just have to watch you eat . michael : are you still in shock ? lauren : i ca n't believe our baby is going to college in the fall -- in arizona ! michael : what 's more difficult to believe -- that the baby 's old enough to be in college or that the baby 's headed so far west ? lauren : you 're not surprised by this at all ? michael : i knew fenmore was applying to a couple of out - of - state schools , and i knew that he had gotten on to a couple of waiting lists . [ sighs ] i know what you mean . it 's just starting to hit me . fenmore 's gon na be gone , just like that . you know , i 'm delighted for him . on the other hand , change is good , and fenmore leaving the nest could open up some very interesting possibilities for us . kelly : i 've been thinking a lot about you , ben , hoping that you 're okay . stitch : hell , no , i 'm not okay . not -- not that it 's your fault . billy was determined to find something to use against me . the guy must feel like he hit the mother lode . kelly : listen , i do n't think anyone involved is happy about any of this . stitch : you told me the truth would come out . you were right . kelly : and i 'm so sorry that you 're having to go through this again . i truly did not want it to be this way . but , listen , the good news is it is all out now , right ? the worst is over . stitch : i would n't count on that . harding : could you have misplaced it ? barton : look , i most certainly did n't misplace my badge . harding : okay . you know that for a fact , right ? barton : yes , i do , because whoever stole my i.d . used it to hack in to the hospital 's computer . michael : abandoned by fenmore ? lauren : i know . it sounds crazy . michael : yeah , maybe a little , unless you have kids that are about to move 1,000 miles away . lauren : well , there is one thing that i 'm really happy about -- that our son gets to make a clean , fresh start . michael : hell , i 'm damn proud of fenmore . no one would have blamed him for wanting to just kick back and reassess , but he took the initiative and started applying to schools . this is a huge opportunity for him . lauren : and for us . you know , we 've been working so hard lately . michael : yeah . we really have n't had a lot of time to spend with each other , have we ? lauren : no , we have not . but with our nest emptying , i have a feeling that 's about to change . michael : we will miss fenmore . lauren : oh , yes . we will miss him with all our heart . michael : but i have a feeling you 're right . harding : walk me through the timeline , doctor . when did you first notice your i.d . missing ? barton : at crimson lights , two days ago . at first i thought it was a simple theft or that i had left my i.d . in my desk drawer . it was n't there or anywhere else i looked , so i asked i.t . to generate a new one , and , apparently , by then , the damage had already been done . harding : the hacking you mentioned ? barton : yeah . they informed me this morning that my old badge was used to access hospital personnel records . harding : any employee in particular ? barton : look , the technicians are still investigating . i 'm here because i want to make sure that whoever breached our system does n't get away with it . billy : let me guess -- jack called , you came running . jill : well , he 's worried about you . come on . and why would n't he be ? i thought you 'd given up trying to discredit dr. rayburn . billy : i told chelsea to let it go . it was n't getting me anywhere with vicki . but she and kevin are the ones who kept on digging . i just stumbled onto it by accident . but once i found out what he was capable of , what was i supposed to do ? jill : well , of course . you had to pursue it then , and , knowing what we know now , it 's really good that you confronted him . billy : i 'm not gon na apologize for protecting my wife and son from a guy who could kill his own father . jill : darling , the way you 're saying your wife and your son , it sounds like someday you think victoria is gon na be grateful to you for discovering this . billy : so , what 's wrong with that ? jill : so , you do n't think the marriage is beyond repair ? billy : okay , do n't take this the wrong way , but i do n't care what you or nick or anyone else thinks . i know what we share . as hurt and as angry as she is , the love is still there . jill : so , now that she knows the truth about this other man , you really believe that he is no longer an issue ? stitch : after jenna divorced me and moved to australia , i could n't imagine starting over . i figured that part of my life was done . then suddenly , there was victoria . i let myself believe that we could be happy together , that we could have this amazing future . you know , that 's how i lost my wife and son ... when the truth came out . kelly : ben , victoria just found out about all of this . she is still reeling . you 're still the man that she fell in love with . it 's possible , in time , that she could get past this , right ? it does n't have to be over . jack : hi , sweetheart . kelly : oh , hi . jack : i 'm not sure what to call you . stitch : my name is ben . my friends call me `` stitch . `` but you can call me whatever you want . victoria : hey . you know , i 'm really glad you 're here . i wanted to talk to you about ben . you 've known him since the war , right ? dylan : yeah . yeah . we clicked right away . victoria : did you know anything about his background ? dylan : well , stitch was the type of guy who did n't really talk much . victoria : yeah . i think i remember you telling me that . dylan : did n't matter , though . everybody liked him ... which might sound kind of strange . victoria : no . i get it . dylan : you know , when you 're in a combat zone , you do n't -- u do n't really learn about a guy by how much they say , you know ? it 's what they do , how they respond to the pressure . and when i found out that he 'd killed his old man , i was completely blindsided . i could n't -- i could n't reconcile a crime like that with a guy i spent all that time with overseas . but stitch is not a cold- blooded killer . and i got to believe that he 's still a good guy . victoria : no . he 's a good liar . dylan : i got to get to work . avery : listen , you and victoria are entitled to your opinions , but i still think there 's more to this . dylan : [ sighs ] avery : so , you said that you wanted some legal advice . victoria : i 'm here to ask about my legal rights -- or should i say ben and billy 's rights ? avery : i take it this is about the baby ? victoria : neither one of them is trustworthy , and they 've proven that , and i do n't want them anywhere near this child . so , i decided to not take the dna test to determine the paternity . and i want to know if they can compel me to do it . avery : in a word ... yes . victoria : [ sighs ] billy : i 'm pretty sure that vicki 's through with dr. deception , at least for now . jill : so , what makes you think that ? billy : i overheard her telling her obstetrician that she does n't want to have the paternity test . jill : at all ? ! billy : she said she does n't care who the father is , that this is her child . jill : well , the woman 's hormones are all over the place . i mean , that 's no solution . obviously , she 's not thinking clearly . billy : well , it tells me a hell of a lot . jill : what ? billy : she -- she went after stitch when she was in pain . she made up her mind that he was this perfect guy before she ever looked at him too closely . jill : so , once she gets over the shock of what he 's done , you think that she 'll turn back to you ? sweetheart , just be prepared , okay ? sometimes love is n't always enough . billy : believe me , mom -- i know how badly i screwed up . and i know that there is a very good chance that victoria is never gon na take me back . but if this baby is mine , i 've still got a shot . victoria : after seeing what my mom 's gone through with ian , i know that eventually i 'm gon na have to identify the father . but do i have to take the test now ? i mean , the way that billy and ben have acted , what gives them the right to force me to do anything ? avery : okay , victoria . you 're not gon na like this , but ... you chose to be sexually involved with two men . that usually leads to complications . victoria : i guess my mom was right when she said i rushed in to things with ben to try to break things off with billy . it 's just that he hurt me so badly . when i asked ben if he was hiding anything , like billy said he was , he lied to my face , avery . i ca n't trust him around this child . avery : well , i think it 's more you ca n't trust him around your heart . victoria : what are you doing ? are you defending him ? avery : ben did his time . he turned his entire life around . that 's how the justice system is supposed to work . now , too often , it does n't . victoria : i left billy because he betrayed me , and billy betrayed me , and so , yes , i am looking out for my heart . but you know there 's more to it than that . you know my history . avery : i understand . victoria : i have to protect this baby . and i ca n't be under this kind of stress . it 's just not good for me . it 's the main reason that i do n't want to take his paternity test now . i want to have as much control over this situation as i possibly can , and if you ca n't help me with this , avery , then i will find a lawyer who can . avery : i can help you . speaking from my own experience , i know how dangerous stress can be to a pregnancy . i 'll help you . i 'll represent you . i will advocate for you and your child . victoria : thank you . avery : now , to answer your question , you are n't required to take a paternity test until the baby is born , and i will make damn sure that no one intimidates you to do it sooner . stitch : hey . you got a minute ? obviously , victoria is n't speaking to me . dylan : yeah , victoria 's a wreck . she came to see avery as i was heading out . stitch : i did n't realize they were friends . i 'm hoping we still are . dylan : help me understand . stitch : look , i hated lying to you , mac , and everyone else . what happened with my father -- it 's a part of who i am , but it 's not the only part . it does n't define me as a person . dylan : you know , uh , i grew up believing that the people who raised me were my biological parents . but my mother lied to me and everybody else except for my aunt until the day she lied . and then chelsea lied to me about connor , and then ian lied to me about being my father . it was lies on top of lies , and now you unload this lie , not because you wanted to but because you had to . you were my best friend . why did n't you ever tell me the truth ? i mean , you ask if we 're still friends . i do n't even know your real name . clearly , i 'm no judge of character . stitch : yes . actually , you are . [ doorbell rings ] chelsea : oh . kevin : yeah , it 's me . try not to look so crushed . chelsea : no , i 'm not . it 's just -- kevin : you were just hoping i was some hunky stranger ready to whisk you away to some exotic location where we 'd spend our days basking in the sun , spend our nights making sweet , sweet love . chelsea : kevin -- kevin : or maybe you were just hoping i was billy . chelsea : i -- what ? what is it that you want me to say , kevin ? kevin : uh , how 'bout `` thanks , `` for starters , considering i committed multiple felonies to get into ben rayburn 's personnel file ? chelsea : you hacked into memorial 's computer ? kevin : well , i like to reserve the term `` hacked `` for something that is n't child 's play . are n't you at all curious what i found out ? chelsea : billy 's not speaking to me . i have no use for it . so , i 'm sorry you went to all that trouble , although i know you get such a rush when you pull it off . kevin : [ chuckles ] stitch murdered his dad , stole some dead kid 's identity , and that 's the least of his troubles . too bad you 're not interested in finding out what 's in here , because if any of this came out , the guy 's whole future would be toast -- toast . [ sighs ] wyatt : there 's no way you got released that soon . quinn : released ? i checked in voluntarily . wyatt : mom , it has n't even been that long . if you 're trying to tell me that everything is fine -- quinn : relax . i 'm still in treatment . wyatt : huh . quinn : hey , are n't you glad to see me ? wyatt : of course i am . quinn : i missed you . wyatt : you know , it 's been n dylan : so , i was right . there is more to the story . what is it ? what are n't you telling me ? stitch : just ... trust your instincts , mac . we -- we saved a lot of lives , did a lot of good . dylan : that 's it ? th - that 's it ? that 's all you 're gon na give me ? stitch : i had just put my past to rest . i was rebuilding my life after jenna left . i am sick about the fact that it all came out again , sick about what it cost me , what it 's going to cost me . right now all i want to do is forget this ever happened . dylan : [ sighs ] avery : sorry to interrupt . dylan : it 's fine . stitch : dylan said you saw victoria . how is she ? avery : how do you think she is ? avery : how are you ? dylan : [ sighs ] i know there 's more to this than what he 's saying . i just do n't understand why he ca n't trust me enough to tell me . kelly : ben alluded to this not being over . jack : you mean victoria ? kelly : no , i do n't think that 's what he was referring to . but since we 're on the subject , um , i 'm really hoping victoria has it in her to give my brother another chance . jack : forgive me if i do n't share your sentiments . we are talking about my brother 's wife . kelly : right . um ... you know what ? maybe we should change the subject . jack : good . let 's do . i 've been wanting to talk about yesterday , when i told you i love you and you said you feel the same way . kelly : as long as you realize , jack , i come with a lot of baggage . jack : well , sugar , i own a whole line of luggage stores . baggage is not gon na scare me . kelly : you need to understand , though , that loving me means inheriting all of my problems -- my past , my tragedies . jack : sounds like you 're giving me an out . i do n't want one . kelly : jack -- jack : relationships are easy at the beginning . when there 's conflict , how two people handle it -- that 's the real test . i love you . that means your problems are my problems now . that means i wo n't go running at the first sign of trouble . that 's what i mean when i say , `` i love you . `` kelly : take me home ? kevin : when rayburn applied for his medical license , as well as his job at memorial , there was a question on the form -- `` have you ever committed a felony ? `` i 'll give you three guesses how he answered . chelsea : he lied . he said no . kevin : bam ! and i bet he lied to get into med school and the army . chelsea : stitch 's career -- his entire life -- kevin : never mind the good doctor losing his license . he committed fraud multiple times , on top of the original identity theft . last time i checked , that sent you to prison -- not that i 'm gon na say anything . this is a gift from me to you . knowledge is power , grasshopper . [ doorbell rings ] victoria : i 'm coming ! ohh . [ sighs ] what do you want ? billy : just came by to see johnny . victoria : come in . so , i assume that you 'll take this opportunity to gloat about ben . billy : i 'm not sorry that the truth came out , but i did n't come over with any agenda . i just want to play blocks with my kid . no matter what happens between us , i 'm always gon na be there for our son . victoria : i really wish you would have let me know you were coming by . ohh . billy : vic , you okay ? victoria : huh ? yeah . i 'm fine . i 'm fine . it 's perfectly normal . [ chuckles softly ] billy : the baby 's moving ? may i ? victoria : look , johnny is your son , so you can check on him anytime you like , but he 's napping now , so next time when you 're planning to stop by , would you call first so i can let you know the best time to visit ? billy : look , whatever else happens between us , i know that we 're always gon na work together as parents , but this baby that you 're carrying is going to need a father , too , even if you do n't intend on finding out who it is . victoria : wait a second . how could you -- billy : i was at the hospital . victoria : [ chuckles ] are you stalking me now ? billy : no . i happened to be there , and i overheard what you told the doctor . victoria : oh , see ? well , how convenient . billy : i know that you 're going through a lot right now . so am i . but there is one thing that i am clear on , and that is that i do n't want rayburn anywhere near our little boy . i 'm sure that that is something we can both agree on . victoria : look , billy , you got what you wanted . the information that you found out on ben has me completely terrified . so , i hope you 're happy . billy : you 're beautiful , victoria . you 're a beautiful mother . jill : all right , listen -- if we 're opening this third boutique , we 're really gon na need foot traffic -- either that or a captive audience the way we have here or the way we have at the jabot building with our original one . lauren : no , that 's a good point . jill : so , every time we open a new satellite , we are eroding the status of our flagship , and that 's what 's carried us for years with our main boutique . so , expanding this quickly is just gon na make our original boutique less and less of a destination . lauren : yeah . okay . jill : yeah . well , uh , colin gave me some really interesting information on this subject . also , he told me how to manage our finances completely . but since it 's colin , you know , i thought that i should n't just run with it . lauren : whatever you want to do is fine by me . jill : okay . i knew you were n't paying attention . lauren : yes , i am . jill : you just gave colin carte blanche to run our finances , little sis . lauren : what ? ! jill : [ laughing ] yes , you did . lauren : oh , my god . jill : okay . so , here . you have my attention . what has you so distracted ? lauren : fen has announced this morning that he 's going to college at arizona state and arts in the fall . jill : but that 's terrific ! is n't that terrific ? lauren : it 's so far away . jill : you got to cut the apron strings sometime . lauren : look , i know it 's important for him to be independent . you know , all i can think about is everything that he has struggled with . jill : so , you 're worried if he gets homesick or overwhelmed , he 's gon na turn back to the drugs ? lauren : god , i hope not . you know , it 's a big step . i just want him to be ready . and scotty was always self - sufficient , even when he was a little boy . fen -- jill : fen , not so much . lauren : no . i know he 's not a kid anymore , and this is an important part of growing up . jill : mm - hmm . but he 's still your baby . lauren : yeah . jill : he 'll always be your baby , the way my billy 's my baby . lauren : yeah . how are billy and victoria ? jill : not good . victoria is determined to go through with the divorce , and i can tell that billy is still hopeful about getting her back . it 's breaking my heart . lauren : oh , that just sets him up for more heartbreak . jill : but you know what ? lauren : hmm ? jill : billy is a grown man , right ? and he 's capable of making his own choices . lauren : you 're right . they 're still our babies . and we will always , always worry about them . jill : yeah . harding : good of you to drop by . kevin : i was here . harding : yeah , and then you left . where 'd you go ? kevin : what , i 'm not allowed to take a break ? harding : you know , lately , you 've been 90 % breaks , 10 % work . that does n't fly around here , fish , especially not with the boss taking a lighter schedule so he can recover . we all have to put in the hours so he does n't have to . you get what i 'm saying ? kevin : who died and appointed you my keeper ? harding : you know , there is an unwritten code around here that you do n't seem to be able to read , but , then again , you 're not a cop , are you ? you 're a criminal who just works here so he can stay out of prison . kevin : is there a point to all this , or can i get back to work ? harding : you know , if it were up to me , you would n't be here . but since it 's not , the chief of surgery from memorial came in earlier today with a case that 's right up your alley . kevin : oh , yeah -- the computer thing . i heard . harding : yeah . so , figure out who did the deed . kevin : it would be a waste of time . harding : really ? why is that ? kevin : because the firewall at memorial is superweak . anybody could get into it . the list of suspects would be enormous . harding : well , if it 's so simple , then why would someone go through the trouble of stealing dr. shelby 's i.d . badge ? kevin : must have been some dope looking for a shortcut . but you know what ? if it 'll get you out of my face , i 'll look into it . michael : hey . harding : hi . michael : hey . um , kevin , i 'd like to speak to you for a minute . i got something to discuss with you . got a second ? kevin : sorry . detective smiley here says i ca n't take any more breaks . harding : [ chuckles ] no , it 's no problem , counselor . i 'm just messing with him . take all the time you need . michael : come outside , please . harding : `` dr. barton shelby . `` surprise , surprise . kelly : you know ... when you said those words to me ... yesterday ... it scared me . jack : why ? kelly : i do n't know . i guess i was n't sure that i would ever hear them again . i 've been standing on my own for so long , jack ... without anybody to count on . jack : you have me now . jack : so , you talked about ... how difficult it all was for your brother . what about you ? you did n't just lose your father -- your brother killed him . i do n't think i can begin to understand what that must feel like ... or how you ever begin to put your life back together after that . kelly : well , um , i was in school when it happened , and it was a complete nightmare . [ chuckles ] you know , when i got the call , i mean , i could n't comprehend . i did n't understand how something like that could happen . i still do n't . and i could n't face ben , so i just shut him out of my life ... for years . i mean , it 's only recently that i 've been able to open the door a little and let him back in , even if i do n't ever forgive him . jack : what about your mom ? kelly : mom ? ahh . yeah . i do n't think i 've forgiven her , either . jack : for what ? kelly : well , she was on ben 's side right after it happened . i mean ... my father was barely in the ground , and she was all , `` let 's save ben ! we 've got to save ben ! `` [ laughs ] wow . i sound terrible , do n't i , like i 've been walking around consumed by these grudges for all these years ? jack : these are giant , all - consuming grudges . kelly : but it 's not like that , jack , i swear . i mean , i ... i moved on , okay ? i mean , i barely even thought about this for years . it was n't until i saw ben at crimson lights that ... you know , i just -- i had to move on . [ cell phone chimes ] kelly : oh , boy . [ chuckles ] somebody has lousy timing , huh ?

[ scene_break ] valentin : how is she ? how 's charlotte ? lulu : she 's at school . she asked about you this morning . we said that you were still away on business . valentin : is she upset ? dante : well , she wanted to call you . lulu : i said that there might be a problem with the time difference . we 'd try later . that seemed to satisfy her . valentin : thank you for helping her out with that . lulu : i 'm her mother . i want what 's best for her . that 's why we 're here . dante : you 're heading to prison . we got to figure out what happens to charlotte . [ scene_break ] [ anna remembers ] valentin : you have a past , anna . you have transgressions of your own . i hope they are buried well enough . i hope they 're as good as gone . because if they ever see the light of day , maybe somebody will come for you with handcuffs . anna : would that make you happy ? valentin : no , not at all . see , you did what you did . you had your reasons . but you changed , and you made a good life , a new life . i hope you get to keep it . one of us should be able to .

[ chuckles ] [ scene_break ] anna : i 'm not saying that valentin 's innocent . far from it . but he 's not as guilty as the bureau maintains . my sister , on the other hand ... mac : stop . you blame alex . anna : well , i 'm not the only one . you know the bureau has her in custody , right ? i thought for sure that -- that she was gon na cut a deal , you know , give up her superiors , but she has n't . i mean , so far , she 's refusing to cooperate . from what i understand , she has n't said one word during the interrogation . i mean , that 's all gon na change obviously now , because valentin 's been apprehended . i just ... i wonder if she 's gon na pin it all on him . [ scene_break ] nina : okay , well , this is a new experience for me -- sending the man i love to prison . nathan : that 's not what 's happening , and you know it . nina : i told the police where to find valentin . nathan : yeah , because there was a warrant out for his arrest . nina , valentin 's committed so many crimes we ca n't even charge him in the u.s . he 's got to go to the icc in europe . and if you 'd helped cover for him , they would have charged you as an accomplice . nina : well , no chance of that . yay for me ! yay ! coffee for everyone . nathan : stop acting like he 's so innocent . nina : stop acting like this is so black and white for me . it 's not . he had a weapon . years ago , he had a weapon . he sold it to helena cassadine . i know . i know . it was terrible . it was horrible . you know what else he did ? he saved my life , and he got shot because of it . and you know what else he did ? months before that , he fell in love with me [ voice breaking ] and he made me the happiest person on the planet -- happier than i 've ever been in my life , j . you know why ? 'cause he made me part of a family . he gave me a family . that was real . i did n't imagine that . that was the truth . you want me to turn my back on him , do n't you ? i do n't know if i can . [ scene_break ] dante : nina said you promised to take her to niagara falls . that 's where we found you . valentin : nina was acting in charlotte 's best interest , which she 'll continue to do as her stepmother . lulu : if nina had any intention of fighting for charlotte , she would have been at court this morning . valentin : court ? wow . that was fast . dante : and as per the court , charlotte 's gon na be living with us . i assume you think that 's better for her than being placed into foster care . lulu : that 's why we 're here . okay , we are asking you to help us help charlotte through this transition . if we all work together , we might be able to minimize her pain and -- and confusion and fear . like it or not , we all have to be her parents right now . [ scene_break ] griffin : uh -- i 'm on the team treating ava jerome . uh , her burns are second- and third - degree in the acute stage . we 're managing her pain and -- and tending to her wounds , but my real concern is infection . finn : is that where i come in ? griffin : yeah , we could really use your expertise on this . dr. obrecht : alas , dr. finn can not provide it . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : hey , it 's me . i 'm just checking in . hayden : oh , my god . the blood . it 's everywhere . elizabeth : that 's not funny . hayden : it 's kind of funny . everything 's fine . we 're at the coffee kiosk getting treats , okay ? go back to work . i got this . okay , boys , what will you have ? come on . cameron : i 'd like a mocha frappucino with whipped cream and extra chocolate syrup . barista : sure . spencer : how cloyingly american . ugh . i 'll have a cortado . iced , please . hayden : you drink cortados ? spencer : well , when the mood strikes me . barista : uh , do you want whipped cream on that ? spencer : uh , of course . hayden : i kind of figured that you 'd get chocolate milk . are you allowed to have all that caffeine and sugar ? cameron : well ... spencer : i am . cameron : yeah , me too . this is nothing . hayden : okay . [ scene_break ] valentin : what do you want me to do ? lulu : charlotte needs continuity . valentin : difficult under the current circumstances . dante : then the next best thing is making sure she understands she 's gon na be okay , given all the changes that are happening -- that even though you 're going away , she wo n't be abandoned . lulu : charlotte will believe whatever you tell her . so we need you to tell charlotte that you want her to stay with us . valentin : for now . dante : you could even say it 's your idea . lulu : you just need to make her understand that the situation has your blessing . losing you is going to be hard , but it will be downright traumatizing if you go out kicking and screaming or are n't in our corner . valentin : okay , i 'll do it . with one condition . dante : what ? valentin : nobody tells charlotte why i 'm leaving . i will choose the reason , and i will tell her myself . and you back me up . lulu : yeah , we can live with that . valentin : then we have an agreement . lulu : thank you so much for cooperating . this really is what 's best for charlotte . dante : we 'll be in touch to , uh , go over the logistics .

[ scene_break ] nina : how 's the bullet wound ? valentin : oh . healing . nina : i think you know that i 'm the one who told the police where to find you and charlotte . valentin : you told them where they could look for me , but there 's no way you could have known we were in niagara falls . nina : but i told them . they would n't have found you if it was n't for me . valentin : are you apologizing ? nina : um , i just ... i do n't ... [ voice breaking ] i do n't -- i do n't think it would have been good for charlotte to be a fugitive and on the run . and i think you know that . and i think you panicked , which is n't your style . valentin : yeah , i guess it was n't the best plan i 've ever made . if it 's any consolation , i was gon na send for you , as soon as charlotte and i were settled in . nina : so i could be a fugitive , too ? valentin : so we could continue our life as a family . i 'm very resourceful . i could have provided for us . we would have been happy . nina : now we 'll never know . [ scene_break ] anna : i hope i do n't have to testify against valentin . i mean , i do n't have anything to offer in the way of evidence , really , you know ? [ whispering ] he told me everything . he told me all of it . but i - i did n't record it . so if he decides that he 's gon na deny the whole thing , then it 's just my word against his . i do n't have any tangible proof . i mean , the only thing that i could swear to you is -- is the fact that he -- he took the chimera from the ballroom at the metro court , and he said it was with the intention to destroy it . that 's what he said . and so , when i asked him to surrender it to me , he did . so that 's all i have . mac : you 're going to stonewall . anna : i 'm not , mac . no , i - i 'm gon na be 100 % honest . but any case the wsb has against valentin , it rests with alex , not me . [ scene_break ] dr. obrecht : dr. finn 's medical privileges are suspended . he can not consult on ms. jerome 's case or any other . griffin : i disagree . dr. finn 's specialty is fighting infectious agents . dr. obrecht : he is not the only doctor on staff with that knowledge . griffin : no one as well - versed or experienced on the subject . dr. obrecht : dr. finn is also the only physician on staff , that we know of , whose judgment is clouded by addiction . griffin : finn , are you under the influence of controlled substances ? finn : no . griffin : well , would any member of your rehab team describe you as in withdrawal or experiencing drug - related issues ? finn : no , but you 're free to ask them yourself . griffin : oh , well , that 's good enough for me . dr. obrecht : will it be good enough for ava jerome if she develops an infection which dr. finn is unable to address , because his faculties are impaired ? griffin : it 's just a consult , doctor . finn is n't cleared to treat patients . finn : [ scoffs ] dr. obrecht : nor will he be .

[ scene_break ] hayden : i mean , how am i supposed to take care of a baby if i ca n't handle two boys in middle school ? laura : hayden , they do n't pop out like this . by the time they reach this age , you 've had all those years to learn how to wrangle them . hayden : [ groans ] laura : and , by the way , congratulations . [ both chuckle ] laura : you can do this , hayden . it will be all right . hayden : do me a favor and do n't tell elizabeth . laura : yeah , i think we can keep this just between us . [ scene_break ] griffin : finn . finn : huh ? griffin : a word ? finn : yeah . [ whispering ] think about it . [ normal voice ] i take it it 's not about ava jerome , or you would have included obrecht . griffin : correct . finn : so , my drug screens are back . how soon can i start seeing patients ? griffin : you ca n't . you tested positive for opioids . and since brad was n't anywhere near the test , there 's no reason to question the results . finn : [ scoffs ] so i 'm suspended . [ scene_break ] nina : i ca n't be married to a man in prison . i ca n't be a stepmother to a little girl that i love so much , and she lives with another family . whatever we had , it was ... gorgeous and beautiful . but it 's over . valentin : please do n't do this . please do n't do this . nina : this is just a standard , uh , divorce petition . it -- it 's just very easy . it 's one less thing for you to have to worry about . [ door closes ] [ siren wailing in distance ] [ scene_break ] mac : so , i 'm guessing that was n't good news . anna : depends on your point of view . alex has managed to escape . wsb does n't know where she is . [ scene_break ] [ door opens ] officer : you have a visitor . valentin : of course , it 's you . [ next_on ] curtis : jordan would never do that . stella : what makes you so sure ? jordan ( to tj ) : curtis and i are a couple . valentin ( to alex ) : you must be pleased with yourself . dillon ( to kiki ) : i 'm not letting go . not when you need me . michael ( to nelle ) : i do n't want ava to suffer . i want her to pay . carly ( to sonny ) : why would nelle do anything to help us ?
curtis opens his front door to find jordan standing there with a cupcake . she wishes him a happy birthday . they ended up having sex . curtis wants her to stay longer and she ends up doing so . when she leaves someone else shows up . it is revealed to be curtis 's aunt stella . stella wants to stay with him and celebrate his birthday . she can not wait to see tj . she just hopes she does n't run into jordan who she despises . meanwhile in the park , mac finds anna and they discuss what she will do next with the case . anna does n't know . she knows that valentin is guilty but he is n't that involved either in her opinion . this is alex 's fault . anna gets a call from robert . alex has escaped the wsb . at the pcpd , lulu and dante show up to visit valentin . they get custody of charlotte , but valentin wants to be the one to tell charlotte where he is going and they ca n't tell her the truth . lulu agrees . later , nina shows up and demands a divorce . she knows he is n't going to get off this time . she leaves and then someone else shows up . valentin knew they would come .
<s>[INST] curtis : well , now , this is a welcome surprise . jordan : see , you did n't think that i remembered that today 's your birthday and your favorite flavor is red velvet . make a wish . curtis : why ? it already came true . jordan : [ chuckles ] taste good ? curtis : you tell me . [ jordan chuckles ] [ scene_break ] finn : is it just me , or is dr. lee being a tad bit territorial ? hayden : well , maybe if you had n't second - guessed everything she said . finn : what ? [ chuckles ] well , just 'cause i 'm there as a father does n't mean i 'm just gon na stop being a doctor . hayden : when your drug screen comes back today and you start practicing full time , maybe you can give dr. lee some space . [ scene_break ] [ elevator bell dings ] elizabeth : i 'm sorry , soccer was canceled , but they did say there would be a makeup . cameron : just because i 'm not playing soccer anymore does n't mean i have to come to work with you . i 'm old enough to stay home by myself . elizabeth : [ scoffs ] the house , cameron , is being fumigated for fleas , because of your class guinea pig . cameron : other kids in my class get to stay home alone . [ scene_break ] spencer : i 've made it all the way back from france by myself . do you really think i ca n't handle staying home alone ? laura : i have vivid memories of what happens when you 're left to your own devices . i do n't want to live through that one again . spencer : but i 'm asleep on my feet . [ sighs ] i must still be on french time . laura : and you 'll be out of time if you do n't get your intercontinental butt in gear . spencer : admit it . you 're happy i 'm back . laura : i wo n't deny that i 've missed you . spencer : but you do n't have to miss me anymore . i was forced into exile because you feared my sinister uncle would do me harm . now that valentin 's in police custody , i can safely return back to port charles permanently . [ scene_break ] valentin : how is she ? how 's charlotte ? lulu : she 's at school . she asked about you this morning . we said that you were still away on business . valentin : is she upset ? dante : well , she wanted to call you . lulu : i said that there might be a problem with the time difference . we 'd try later . that seemed to satisfy her . valentin : thank you for helping her out with that . lulu : i 'm her mother . i want what 's best for her . that 's why we 're here . dante : you 're heading to prison . we got to figure out what happens to charlotte . [ scene_break ] [ anna remembers ] valentin : you have a past , anna . you have transgressions of your own . i hope they are buried well enough . i hope they 're as good as gone . because if they ever see the light of day , maybe somebody will come for you with handcuffs . anna : would that make you happy ? valentin : no , not at all . see , you did what you did . you had your reasons . but you changed , and you made a good life , a new life . i hope you get to keep it . one of us should be able to . [ scene_break ] finn : if you think i 'm gon na take a back seat to prenatal visits just because i may soon be reinstated , you 'd be wrong . hayden : `` may `` ? why are you questioning it ? finn : it 's just -- you know , it 's not a done deal . it 's not a done deal until my -- my drug screens come back clean . hayden : yeah , i realize we both tend to lean towards the cynical , but ... finn : mm - hmm . hayden : ... maybe we can be a little more optimistic . finn : no , no , it 's just ... i 'm stating the facts here , you know ? there 's somebody out there who 's -- who 's tampering with my drug screens . hayden : which is why we made sure brad is nowhere near this latest test . finn : right . right . what if we 're wrong ? what if brad 's not the one framing me ? hayden : and what if we 're right , and this is almost over ? come on . say it with me . good things are coming . finn : no . no . hayden : come on . come on . for the baby . good things are coming . finn : good things are coming . hayden : [ chuckles ] it 's a start . finn : yeah . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : oh , unh - unh . screen time after you start your summer reading . cameron : [ sighs ] elizabeth : i can not believe you 're making me say this . i meant a book from your summer reading list . hayden : hey , kiddo . i did n't know it was take your angel to work day . elizabeth : well , you 're un - typically cheerful . hayden : it 's a new thing i 'm trying out -- optimism . cameron : my mom would n't know anything about that . she 's in a bad mood . elizabeth : i am not in a bad mood . aiden 's at camp , jake is with dr. maddox , and his soccer just got canceled . that 's all . hayden : oh , well , i took the day off . maybe cameron should hang out with me . elizabeth : [ chuckles ] i - i would n't want to put you out . hayden : it 's no trouble . i am his aunt , after all . elizabeth : yeah , well , but you really have n't , you know , hung out with ... kids . hayden : not true . i spent all those months being spencer 's stepmother . besides , it -- it would be good practice for me . come on . elizabeth : for what ? hayden : whenever , you know , some potential future timeline . i 'm not an old maid in all of them . cameron : please , mom . anything 's better than being stuck here . elizabeth : yeah , i do n't know about this . hayden : i babysit finn 's lizard , roxy , all the time . how different can watching a boy be ? you eat flies , right ? [ chuckles ] what ? oh , my god , elizabeth . relax . cameron will be fine . i 'm not a complete idiot . [ scene_break ] laura : spencer . spencer : port charles is my home , and i know that father is n't ever coming back , but you 're here , aunt lulu , aunt alexis . laura : oh , honey , i know how much you 've missed your family . and i hope you know how much we have all missed you . spencer , the only reason i put you in that boarding school was for your safety . spencer : i know , but is n't it different now that valentin 's in jail ? laura : it 's a good start , but i - i ca n't take a risk . i need to know that the charges against him are going to stick . this guy has wriggled out of all kinds of stuff before . spencer : i believe that this time it 'll be different . after all , it was emma 's grandmother that brought valentin down . she is as fearless and resourceful as emma , herself . [ scene_break ] mac : anna , i am glad i caught you . anna : oh . oh , my gosh . [ chuckles ] mac : robert 's been trying to reach you . you have n't been picking up . anna : yeah . well , i 'm gon na call him when i 'm good and ready . mac : he , uh , thinks that valentin cassadine 's extradition might be hard on you . anna : he does , does he ? you know what ? you can tell him to mind his own business . mac : come on . do n't worry . anything you tell me stays between us . anna : oh , there 's nothing to tell , really . valentin did what he did , and now he 's gon na pay for it . i 've arrested him , and i 'm gon na hand him over to the bureau , because that 's my job . but honestly , i - i think it has precious little to do with justice , frankly . [ scene_break ] nathan : how are you ? nina : how do you think i am ? nathan : well , you already know how i feel about the valentin situation . nina : yeah , that i did the right thing by turning him and charlotte in , right . nathan : mm - hmm . 100 % . nina : because to you , he 's a fugitive , and ... to me , he 's my husband . and i know one thing about him . he loves charlotte . and ... they could be anywhere right now . they could have . they could have been halfway across canada or walking the streets of paris . they could have gotten away if it was n't for me . [ scene_break ] valentin : you just could n't wait , could you ? your first opportunity you try to get charlotte . dante : look , you 're being extradited to the icc in the hague . trial could take months . what do you think 's gon na happen to charlotte in the meantime ? lulu : she needs to be with her mother . valentin : she 'll be fine with nina . lulu : you really do n't know . valentin : you gon na tell me ? lulu : nina 's the one who turned you in . [ scene_break ] jordan : i really wish i could sit here and do this all day , but i ... curtis : oh , no , no , no . do n't tell me you 're going to work . jordan : i have to . curtis : now ? jordan : there 's -- there 's so much going on , babe . curtis : baby , there 's always gon na be something going on . but i only get one birthday . jordan : and it will still be your birthday when i get off of work tonight and pick you up . curtis : ooh , it sounds like you got something planned . jordan : a little something . a couple things . curtis : a couple ? give me a hint . jordan : i think you just had your first taste earlier . curtis : okay . [ both laugh ] curtis : look , i , um -- i do n't mean to be greedy or nothing . um , i could sit right here with you for the rest of the night . i 'll be a happy man . jordan : wow . you know , you really do n't have to lay it on that thick . you do n't have to -- you do n't have to game me , okay ? curtis : [ laughs ] jordan : you already got me . curtis : i already got you ? jordan : mm - hmm . curtis : well , i was n't gaming you . um ... it 's how i feel . see , normally , you know , i would insert some corny joke right here and try to keep my emotional walls in place . but truth be told , when i 'm with you , i do n't want any walls . the way i see it , every day i 'm with you is a gift . jordan : wow . i 'm impressed . and i think maybe i could push back a few things for , you know , to the afternoon . curtis : oh , yeah ? jordan : yeah . curtis : [ grunts ] jordan : [ chuckles ] mm ! curtis : mm ! jordan : i mean , it 's your birthday . curtis : it is my birthday . jordan : mm - hmm . curtis : happy birthday to me .

[ chuckles ] [ scene_break ] anna : i 'm not saying that valentin 's innocent . far from it . but he 's not as guilty as the bureau maintains . my sister , on the other hand ... mac : stop . you blame alex . anna : well , i 'm not the only one . you know the bureau has her in custody , right ? i thought for sure that -- that she was gon na cut a deal , you know , give up her superiors , but she has n't . i mean , so far , she 's refusing to cooperate . from what i understand , she has n't said one word during the interrogation . i mean , that 's all gon na change obviously now , because valentin 's been apprehended . i just ... i wonder if she 's gon na pin it all on him . [ scene_break ] nina : okay , well , this is a new experience for me -- sending the man i love to prison . nathan : that 's not what 's happening , and you know it . nina : i told the police where to find valentin . nathan : yeah , because there was a warrant out for his arrest . nina , valentin 's committed so many crimes we ca n't even charge him in the u.s . he 's got to go to the icc in europe . and if you 'd helped cover for him , they would have charged you as an accomplice . nina : well , no chance of that . yay for me ! yay ! coffee for everyone . nathan : stop acting like he 's so innocent . nina : stop acting like this is so black and white for me . it 's not . he had a weapon . years ago , he had a weapon . he sold it to helena cassadine . i know . i know . it was terrible . it was horrible . you know what else he did ? he saved my life , and he got shot because of it . and you know what else he did ? months before that , he fell in love with me [ voice breaking ] and he made me the happiest person on the planet -- happier than i 've ever been in my life , j . you know why ? 'cause he made me part of a family . he gave me a family . that was real . i did n't imagine that . that was the truth . you want me to turn my back on him , do n't you ? i do n't know if i can . [ scene_break ] dante : nina said you promised to take her to niagara falls . that 's where we found you . valentin : nina was acting in charlotte 's best interest , which she 'll continue to do as her stepmother . lulu : if nina had any intention of fighting for charlotte , she would have been at court this morning . valentin : court ? wow . that was fast . dante : and as per the court , charlotte 's gon na be living with us . i assume you think that 's better for her than being placed into foster care . lulu : that 's why we 're here . okay , we are asking you to help us help charlotte through this transition . if we all work together , we might be able to minimize her pain and -- and confusion and fear . like it or not , we all have to be her parents right now . [ scene_break ] griffin : uh -- i 'm on the team treating ava jerome . uh , her burns are second- and third - degree in the acute stage . we 're managing her pain and -- and tending to her wounds , but my real concern is infection . finn : is that where i come in ? griffin : yeah , we could really use your expertise on this . dr. obrecht : alas , dr. finn can not provide it . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : hey , it 's me . i 'm just checking in . hayden : oh , my god . the blood . it 's everywhere . elizabeth : that 's not funny . hayden : it 's kind of funny . everything 's fine . we 're at the coffee kiosk getting treats , okay ? go back to work . i got this . okay , boys , what will you have ? come on . cameron : i 'd like a mocha frappucino with whipped cream and extra chocolate syrup . barista : sure . spencer : how cloyingly american . ugh . i 'll have a cortado . iced , please . hayden : you drink cortados ? spencer : well , when the mood strikes me . barista : uh , do you want whipped cream on that ? spencer : uh , of course . hayden : i kind of figured that you 'd get chocolate milk . are you allowed to have all that caffeine and sugar ? cameron : well ... spencer : i am . cameron : yeah , me too . this is nothing . hayden : okay . [ scene_break ] valentin : what do you want me to do ? lulu : charlotte needs continuity . valentin : difficult under the current circumstances . dante : then the next best thing is making sure she understands she 's gon na be okay , given all the changes that are happening -- that even though you 're going away , she wo n't be abandoned . lulu : charlotte will believe whatever you tell her . so we need you to tell charlotte that you want her to stay with us . valentin : for now . dante : you could even say it 's your idea . lulu : you just need to make her understand that the situation has your blessing . losing you is going to be hard , but it will be downright traumatizing if you go out kicking and screaming or are n't in our corner . valentin : okay , i 'll do it . with one condition . dante : what ? valentin : nobody tells charlotte why i 'm leaving . i will choose the reason , and i will tell her myself . and you back me up . lulu : yeah , we can live with that . valentin : then we have an agreement . lulu : thank you so much for cooperating . this really is what 's best for charlotte . dante : we 'll be in touch to , uh , go over the logistics . [ door closes ] [ scene_break ] mac : robert seems to think you 're gon na be called to testify when this goes to trial . are you okay with that ? anna : well , i - i do n't know . [ chuckles ] alex did n't seem to have a problem keeping me in a drug - induced coma while she assumed my identity . so i should n't have a problem telling the icc about it , right ? mac : what about valentin ? look , however bad you feel for the guy , you know he committed some serious crimes . are you gon na be able to take the stand against him ? [ scene_break ] nathan : you got a visitor .

[ chuckles ] i 'm so happy to see you . stella : and i 'm so happy to see you . you 're looking well . curtis : thank you . thank you . stella : how long have you had that gray ? curtis : what ? brother just trying to grow up a little bit . [ chuckles ] no , uh , you like it ? stella : it 's different . you dye it like that ? i 've heard some young people put gray in their hair on purpose . yeah . it 's bizarre , if you ask me . curtis : yeah , that is bizarre . no , this is all me . it 's natural . oh , where are my manners ? have a seat . have a seat . uh , you hungry ? you thirsty ? i got -- i do n't got much in the cabinets , but , um , i can get you cold water , anything . stella : all i want is to hear what 's been going on in your life . [ scene_break ] jordan : nathan , can you , uh , bring me up to speed ? nathan : yeah . well , pretty quiet , all things considered . jordan : and what about our guest ? the guy we 're holding for the wsb ? nathan : behaving himself for the time being . had a couple visitors . my sister 's in with him right now . [ scene_break ] nina : how 's the bullet wound ? valentin : oh . healing . nina : i think you know that i 'm the one who told the police where to find you and charlotte . valentin : you told them where they could look for me , but there 's no way you could have known we were in niagara falls . nina : but i told them . they would n't have found you if it was n't for me . valentin : are you apologizing ? nina : um , i just ... i do n't ... [ voice breaking ] i do n't -- i do n't think it would have been good for charlotte to be a fugitive and on the run . and i think you know that . and i think you panicked , which is n't your style . valentin : yeah , i guess it was n't the best plan i 've ever made . if it 's any consolation , i was gon na send for you , as soon as charlotte and i were settled in . nina : so i could be a fugitive , too ? valentin : so we could continue our life as a family . i 'm very resourceful . i could have provided for us . we would have been happy . nina : now we 'll never know . [ scene_break ] anna : i hope i do n't have to testify against valentin . i mean , i do n't have anything to offer in the way of evidence , really , you know ? [ whispering ] he told me everything . he told me all of it . but i - i did n't record it . so if he decides that he 's gon na deny the whole thing , then it 's just my word against his . i do n't have any tangible proof . i mean , the only thing that i could swear to you is -- is the fact that he -- he took the chimera from the ballroom at the metro court , and he said it was with the intention to destroy it . that 's what he said . and so , when i asked him to surrender it to me , he did . so that 's all i have . mac : you 're going to stonewall . anna : i 'm not , mac . no , i - i 'm gon na be 100 % honest . but any case the wsb has against valentin , it rests with alex , not me .

[ scene_break ] jax : hey , i did n't hear you . carly : i thought you might be here . and i 'm pretty sure i know why . you 're eating yourself up with guilt .

[ claudia sighs ] sonny : what the hell is going on in there ? [ scene_break ] nikolas : i know it 's terrifying to hear the word `` biopsy , `` but do n't jump to conclusions . a needle biopsy is a fairly noninvasive procedure . rebecca : except a simple needle aspiration is n't enough . they want to do a core biopsy , which means that they 're going to have to take a piece of my breast . nikolas : when are they going to do that ? rebecca : two weeks . nikolas : two weeks ? did the doctors say why you had to wait so long ?

[ scene_break ] maxie : spinelli , i ca n't believe you would trust me so little that you would fake being sick to keep me from going on a date with johnny . spinelli : it was maximista herself who confessed to carnal temptations with the mob prince . maxie : yeah , but that 's only when you said you were going to go into permanent hiding in sri lanka or wherever , and you did n't do that . spinelli : are you implying that you no longer harbor affections for the overrated charms of john zacchara ? maxie : this is all your fault . jason : i do n't even know what you 're talking about . maxie : you should be ashamed of yourself . spinelli : wait a minute ; stone cold had no idea of my plans -- maxie : you are spinelli 's hero . he wants to be just like you , even though you ca n't stay in a relationship because you push away every woman who cares about you -- but you 're not going to do that to us . do n't let jason do that to us . nowhere does it say that we fall within his extremely dysfunctional relationship parameters . spinelli : i 'm not sure i follow . what 's going on here ? maxie : we 're better than that , me and you , right , spinelli ? i mean , we trust each other . spinelli : there 's no one that the jackal trusts more . maxie : well , good , because i think you 're perfect just the way you are , and you do n't need to turn into an unemotional block of concrete like him . spinelli : okay , perhaps that 's a bit harsh . maxie : oh , see , i knew you would see it my way . thank you . okay , i will call you as soon as i 'm done with my date with johnny , okay ? bye . bye , jason . spinelli : i 'm not entirely certain what just happened . jason : she just played you , spinelli .

[ sonny pours a drink ] sonny : that 's a good one . he was with me that night . nothing can change that . i 'm going to carry that with me the rest of my life . i 'm trying very hard to come to terms with that . how long has it been since michael was shot ? a year now ? and i felt like i slept through that whole period , the anger -- sonny : you know what ? i 'm seeing clearly now , and i 'm going to do things differently , like i did n't do before . jason : i mean , is this because of the new procedure ? sonny : no , no , no , no . i 'm going to work real hard at finding out who shot my son . sonny : i want you to get whatever you can about the night he was shot , any piece of information you have on that son of a bitch ian devlin before you blew him away . prove to me that he acted alone and that there 's nobody else responsible . [ scene_break ] carly : i can tell there 's still something on your mind . jax : no . carly : did you not hear a word i said ? i just had the revelation of my life . i thought you were hanging on to every word . jax : no , no , of course , i heard every word . that 's -- you 're absolutely right . the best way to honor michael is to live life to the fullest . come on . carly : hey . goodbye , sweetheart . i love you . mommy will be back soon . carly : oh , my god .
nikolas continued to be supportive of rebecca , even offering to take her home to wyndemere . sonny came knocking on claudia 's bedroom door . ric was still passed out in her bed so claudia dumped ric onto the floor and answered the door . she then put sonny off temporarily and called on johnny for help . johnny and maxie ( on their way to a club opening ) came to the corinthos house and snuck ric ( still unconscious ) out . claudia tried to keep sonny busy with the promise of sex but jason interrupted . maxie and johnny managed to drop ric at the hospital without being seen . lulu and spinelli got word that maxie and johnny never got to the club opening . lulu called maxie out on lying about going to the club opening . when carly arrived at the hospital to see michael , jax was there . on her way out , carly saw michael 's hand move . when he regained consciousness , ric assumed it was claudia who drugged him and told her she would live to regret it .

victor : for what ? nikki : joe clark 's cocktail party . why on earth would you accept an invitation from a group that supports the demolition of the warehouse district ? do you know the stakes for dylan here ?

[ scene_break ] steffy : ( sighs ) oh , bill . knowing liam is over there with hope every night . the two of them in bed together , sitting by the fireplace , taking walks on the beach -- i mean , these are the things liam and i used to do , and hope 's taken that . she 's taken my home . she 's taken my man . she 's taken my life , and you just want me to stand by , watch , and wait ? bill : if you love my son like you say you do , then do n't give up . one day , he will come back to you , because hope is not the woman for my son . you are , steffy .
slowly the facts of hope 's first intimate night with liam is revealed . brooke , who is sitting in on the sessions , wants to answer more questions than hope does . dr. barton has to remind her she needs to hear this from hope . hope explains that her mother was a sex symbol and hope chose to not ever be that . it may be coming back to haunt her now and liam deserves better than this . she does n't want another night like last night and needs to fix it . she explains there is an ex or almost ex - wife and she is still controlling things . bill grills liam more on what was supposed to be his night of bliss . steffy learns that liam is at work but hope is n't . she finds liam alone and asks him about last night . she is disappointed to find that he and hope are truly now a couple , so she will sign the annulment papers now . alone she starts to sign when bill comes back in and advises her not to . he wants her to stick to the original plan and wait the six months to give liam time to realize what he is doing and will come back to steffy . despite that she does n't ask for them and is not sure she wants to take them , dr. barton gives hope a bottle of anti- anxiety pills to take when she tenses up .

( sighs ) [ scene_break ] liam : ( sighs ) steffy : you still have n't answered me . liam : steffy . steffy : liam , did you and hope -- liam : why are you doing this to yourself ? steffy : did it happen ? liam : yes . steffy : okay , then . liam : you know , the last thing i ever wanted to do is hurt you . steffy : i guess i was just ... wishing she 'd change her mind . liam : ( sighs ) i just -- i do n't ... steffy : should i move on now ? liam : i do n't want you holding out for something that 's not gon na happen . steffy : it means a lot that you care . liam : i 'm always gon na care about you . i ... steffy : no . i know you still love me a little bit . liam : ( chuckles ) steffy : mm - hmm . liam : ( claps one time ) yeah , that , too . steffy : yeah . but i 'll never forget our time together -- the weeks , the months in that house , waking up in your arms and ... the sound of the ocean and the sunrises and the sunsets ...

( exhales deeply ) mm ... my mom was raped at one point . ( sniffles ) and i almost was , too . dr. barton : well , that in itself would explain a lot . hope : okay , so how do i fix it ? ( sighs shakily ) ( exhales quickly ) because i ca n't have another night like last night . i love liam too much . i want to be able to give myself to him fully , completely . oh ... ( exhales slowly ) but he 's married . and i - i realize that there is a divorce in progress right now . i know that , but it 's -- it 's not -- i - i mean , he 's still married . and , mom , i ca n't look at it the way you do . i ca n't say , `` well , it 's fine . you know , it 'll be okay , because he 's almost not married . `` you either are or you are n't . and right now , being with him , it does n't feel right , and i ca n't get past that , because i am committing adultery . brooke : honey , that is what steffy said . hope : yeah , because that 's what it is ! how am i supposed to feel beautiful and wonderful about something like that ? dr. barton : well , i said before , you were conflicted . hope : yeah .

( pills rattling ) dr. barton : well , when your mother called earlier and explained your situation , i ordered these just in case . it 's an anxiety medication . hope : um , you know what ? i - i do n't -- i do n't know if pills are gon na solve anything . you know , thanks , though . dr. barton : no , but they can certainly ease the tension . brooke : is that really necessary , stacy ? hope : i just ... i do n't know how comfortable i feel about taking pills . dr. barton : oh , wait , i 'm not suggesting that . i 'm not . i -- th - there are just a couple of pills in there , okay ? and this medication 's not gon na knock you out . it 's not gon na make you feel out of control , but it will help ease this pressure that you 're putting on yourself , okay ? so just -- just take them with you . and when you 're with liam , if you feel yourself tensing up , you know ? hope : yeah . i really love him , dr. barton . i ca n't lose him to steffy again . [ scene_break ] steffy : ( sighs ) bill : i would n't do that . steffy : i lost him , bill . why torment the two of them ? liam wants to be with hope . bill : he has n't gotten over you , steffy . steffy : ( sighs ) bill : i doubt he ever will . did you ask him about the big night ? steffy : i could n't help myself . bill : and what did he say ? steffy : not much . bill : did he have that magical glow about him ? i did n't see it . he looked pretty pasty to me . steffy : ( sniffles ) bill : and i know for a fact it was n't the greatest night of his life . steffy : well , he loves her , bill , and i 'm sure they 'll work things out . bill : i 'm not . he loves you , too . do n't give up . do not give him the annulment . stick to the 6-month plan . stick to the divorce . give yourself that time . you could have him again , steffy . [ scene_break ] brooke : honey , you will get through this . it 's just all so new . hope : ( sighs ) brooke : you and liam are so special together . hope : ( sighs ) yeah , but , mom , what am i doing ? it still seems so wrong , and i know that you do n't see it that way . brooke : it is not wrong . you and liam deserve to be together . you have every right to be . steffy stole him from you , and now you have him back . so go home and spend a wonderful night with the man that you love . and do n't let steffy get into your head , okay ? hope : uh - huh . brooke : 'cause that 's exactly what 's happening . hope : yeah . brooke : the only person who can take this away from you is you . do n't let steffy get the best of you . [ scene_break ] steffy : ( sighs ) oh , bill . knowing liam is over there with hope every night . the two of them in bed together , sitting by the fireplace , taking walks on the beach -- i mean , these are the things liam and i used to do , and hope 's taken that . she 's taken my home . she 's taken my man . she 's taken my life , and you just want me to stand by , watch , and wait ? bill : if you love my son like you say you do , then do n't give up . one day , he will come back to you , because hope is not the woman for my son . you are , steffy .Summarize.[/INST]slowly the facts of hope 's first intimate night with liam is revealed . brooke , who is sitting in on the sessions , wants to answer more questions than hope does . dr. barton has to remind her she needs to hear this from hope . hope explains that her mother was a sex symbol and hope chose to not ever be that . it may be coming back to haunt her now and liam deserves better than this . she does n't want another night like last night and needs to fix it . she explains there is an ex or almost ex - wife and she is still controlling things . bill grills liam more on what was supposed to be his night of bliss . steffy learns that liam is at work but hope is n't . she finds liam alone and asks him about last night . she is disappointed to find that he and hope are truly now a couple , so she will sign the annulment papers now . alone she starts to sign when bill comes back in and advises her not to . he wants her to stick to the original plan and wait the six months to give liam time to realize what he is doing and will come back to steffy . despite that she does n't ask for them and is not sure she wants to take them , dr. barton gives hope a bottle of anti- anxiety pills to take when she tenses up .</s>
