[ door closes ] adam : sage 's bequest . what if it 's about christian ? victoria : dad thinks that it 's our fault that he 's in prison . in his mind , it 's not because of the terrible crimes that he 's committed but it 's because he thinks that we betrayed him . you knew that his thinking was twisted like this , and yet you helped to humiliated me . he sold newman cosmetics out from underneath me , a division that has been mine all along , to billy of all people . you pretend like you do n't know what 's going on , but you know what 's going on ! why did you give up that vote ? nikki : i was desperate , victoria ! your father was refusing to see me , and i felt like my whole life was falling apart . i was losing him . i was losing myself ! and then nicholas got him to agree to see me , and i was so ecstatic until i saw him , face to face . he was so cold . he was so distant . i was practically begging him to forgive me . i - i said -- i said , `` i 'll do anything . just -- just tell me what you want . `` victoria : and what he wanted was the power to screw me over , which you conveniently handed him . nikki : oh , my god . i can not believe he would be so spiteful that he would deliberately hurt you . victoria : well , he did . nikki : my darling , i am so sorry . i - i did n't think it through . victoria : no , you did n't . he used you , mom . nikki : i know the damage is done . the one thing i 've learned through this whole horrific experience is that victor is never , ever going to forgive me . meredith : forgiveness . that 's a pretty tall order . victor , you are hurting people that your family cares about . and now you 're just going out of your way to antagonize them . victor : i 'm not going out of the way to antagonize them . i mean , you and i are talking pretty honestly . what you may not know is that my family testified against me , their own father . i think they come to visit me because they realize that , you know , they did something egregiously wrong . when they come to see me , i can see that they are regretful . i think they 're asking for my love and forgiveness . meredith : how can there be any hope of healing and redemption if you ca n't admit that you 've done anything wrong ? adam : why else would sage have left me that message ? why -- why would she be so intent on talking to me about christian ? i 'm telling you , my father lied to me . he told her that i switched the results of the paternity test . that 's what happened . chelsea : adam , adam , stop . you are letting your guilt get the best of you . adam : no , no , no . no , i do n't think so . chelsea : let 's just think about this logically for one second , okay ? let 's just say that victor outed you . why would he lie about it now ? think about it . what good would that do him ? adam : honey , i do n't know . i never know what 's going on inside that guy 's head . i do n't know . chelsea : why would he even tell sage ? because what would sage do with that information ? hmm ? she would go straight to nick . babe , that would destroy nick . that would absolutely devastate him . adam : yeah , you 're probably right . and my father cares nothing about collateral damage . you know that . chelsea : okay . you are overreacting because you 're upset . just because sage left you something does n't mean that she knows that you were christian 's father . for all we know -- who knows ? you spent all of that time in constance 's home with sage . maybe she wanted , you know , you to have some keepsake . that 's possible , is n't it ? adam : a keepsake ? sweetheart , really ? come on . we both know the truth has a way of coming out . chelsea : but putting it in her will ? that would just be mean . that would just be cruel . and , sage -- she did n't have a vindictive bone in her body , babe . i mean , she would never have wanted the truth to come out like this . adam : well , maybe not , but you know what ? her whole world got turned upside down the day that gabriel bingham died rescuing me . and then she got caught up in my life and all of my problems and the damn newmans . chelsea : what are you talking about ? she met the love of her life through you -- nick . adam : yeah , but that does n't take away from the fact that she feels betrayed and lied to and taken advantage of by me . maybe -- maybe this is her way of settling the score . chelsea : so , what do we do now ? adam : well , the only thing we can do . we -- we go to the memorial , we honor her , and then we go to the reading ... together and we -- we see what she has in store for us . victor : i miss my family a lot today . especially today . my son is burying his wife . meredith : oh . i 'm so sorry . i - i - i had no idea . how did it happen ? victor : she died in a car accident . meredith : wow . that 's a terrible shock . victor : well .

nick : you got it . why do n't you go upstairs and put your shoes on so we can go ? faith : okay . nick : it 's nice to have the little ray of sunshine around , huh ? she always keeps that optimism . summer : she definitely got that from you , dad . noah : yeah , it sounds like you explained what today 's about in just the right way . nick : what was i supposed to say ? that we 're cursed ? sharon : cursed ? nick : sometimes i feel like that . i try not to think about our family in that way . i know how it sounds , but there must be times when you guys feel like that . noah : yeah . only on a regular basis . and i can see how you would get there . first losing cassie , then christian , now sage . grandpa 's in jail . grandma 's drinking again . this family 's in turmoil . summer : okay , noah , every family has its problems , but you have to remember that our family is lucky in a way that other families are n't because of how close we are and -- and because of how loyal we are . look , i mean , after everything , we still love each other . and when there 's a crisis , we band together . and , yes , grandpa might not think so at the moment , but it 's true . it 's what we do , because we are newmans . and i am proud to be a newman . look , i 'm sorry , dad . i really am . but please , just do n't -- do n't talk about there being a family curse , because there 's -- there 's not . nick : [ chuckles ] well , when you 're right , you 're right . will you forgive me ?

lily : he wants to check the security tapes from the day abby fell . devon : why ? was n't it -- lily : an accident . i know . but abby does n't believe it . she wants the police to investigate . lily : depending on what the police find on those tapes , we could be looking at a major lawsuit . devon : i thought you and cane already checked those tapes after abby fell . lily : we did . it looked like she just tripped . but abby 's having a hard time letting it go . devon : that 's understandable , i guess . i mean ... lily : i mean , if you want , if you agree to it , i 'll turn over everything we have . otherwise -- unless you want to call our lawyer first . devon : no , lily . no need to do that . we need to get to the bottom of this , so just give dylan whatever he needs . lily : okay . you got it . charlie : hey , where 'd you go ? i 've been looking for you . it 's your move . max : checkers is lame . i have an idea for a new game . it 's called robot spies . charlie : how do you play ? max : we have to sneak into the lobby , and you have to swipe the master key card without being caught . it 's to save the world . but if you 're too chicken ... charlie : i am not . luca : i understand your concern , which is why i 'm sharing this information . since victoria took over , newman 's been in free fall . she neglected to shore up the board and lost a major consumer division . it was a careless mistake , but she 's paying the price now , the whole company is . i speak for victor as well as myself when i say your loyalty wo n't be forgotten . victor : you know , i remember the day of the memorial for my grandson christian and how that affected my boy nicholas . he leaned on me as he almost never had before . it broke my heart to see him like that . and now i ca n't be there for him . but you know , you could be . meredith : me ? victor : yeah . you could go to the memorial service . it 's at chancellor park . meredith : victor , that 's -- no . that 's just completely inappropriate . victor : but i 'm not asking you as a , you know , prison employee or as a prison doctor . i just have a feeling that you 're a very compassionate woman . and i 'd just like you to go there and tell my boy that i care about him ... very much , okay ? go there and ... let him know that . i mean , i know that you have not repaired your strained relations with your own father . perhaps you can help me do that with my family . meredith : i am so sorry for your loss , but i - i ca n't get involved in your personal life . [ sighs ] i 'm gon na call a guard and have him escort you back to your cell . victor : okay . meredith : okay . adam : hey . nick : hi . adam : i 'm sorry . nick : yeah . thanks . chelsea : i 'm so sorry . she was an amazing person . she will be missed . nick : hey , uh , i - i know about the phone call . and i do n't want you to blame yourself , you know ? it 's not your fault . adam : well , i really appreciate you saying that to me . thank you . nikki : hi , son . sharon . sharon : nikki . nikki : i was hoping you would have brought sully . dylan : well , he 's still pretty young . nikki : he meant so much to sage . nick : sharon . i just want to thank you for coming , both of you . i know , uh , sage is looking down and she 's smiling right now . if you 'd all like to gather around , we can begin . heavenly father , we ask you for your comfort in this time of loss as we commemorate the life of sage newman . amen . all : amen . anyone who would like to say a few words is welcome to do so . faith , honey , should we start with you ? faith : daddy said it 's okay to be sad . but i do n't think sage would want that . she 'd want us all to think about the good times , like when we were finger painting and we started painting each other 's faces . then we spilled all the paint on the rug . i was so scared i was gon na get in trouble . but then sage said it was a happy mess . [ voice breaking ] that 's what she called our family -- a happy mess . i 'll miss sage a lot . but i know she 's with christian now . he must be so happy to be with his mommy . that 's what we all have to think about -- the two of them together in heaven . mommy , your turn . sharon : oh , sweetie . i could n't have said it any better myself . faith : that 's okay . it does n't have to be perfect . sharon : you know who i 'd like to hear from ? adam . he knew sage better than any of us . nick : yeah , adam . i think you should , uh , say something . adam : yeah . excuse me . sage and i had a , um ... interesting relationship . um ... but it was a friendship , and , um , i very quickly grew to love her as a person . um , it was easy to see her strength . she had a kindness about her , a warmth . nick ... that woman loved you , man . and i hope you never forget that . nick : [ sighs ] uh ... i guess i want to talk about the future . you know , sage is gone . life goes on . and -- and we need to , uh , live life to its fullest . and we need to embrace it . [ voice breaking ] though i do n't have any idea how i 'm supposed to do that . lily : abby 's in a lot of pain . i think she 's just looking for someone other than herself to blame for what happened . and unfortunately , max is it . devon : yeah , i do n't know , though , lily , 'cause abby 's a friend , and she might seem flighty and self - involved sometimes , but i think her instincts on people are -- [ alarm blaring ] lily : oh , my god . devon : i 'll go check it out . lily : where have you been ? were you playing with the fire alarm again ? did either of you have anything to do with this ? do n't look at him , charlie . look at me . i want the truth . luca : i thought you might want an update since our last talk . victor : well , you thought wrong . but let me hear what you have to say . sit down . luca : look , victor , things are bad . and they 're only getting worse . i 've been working hard behind the scenes to reassure the division heads . there 's an ever - growing concern amongst all of them about victoria 's ability to lead the company in your absence . i do n't think she can do it . victor : hmm . luca : now , if you were expecting adam to step in and save the day , it 's clear that wo n't happen . and now that nicholas is out of commission ... meanwhile , you 're in here stirring up trouble , taking shots at victoria , and for what ? games . it 's fruitless . look , if you really want to do a bit of damage to those who 've wronged you , you 're gon na need someone on your side on the inside at newman . victor : you think you 're the one , right ? since you now have a relationship with my granddaughter that i disapprove of strongly . you think you should be the one to take over . i got news for you . and listen carefully . i may be inside these damn prison walls , but i can still pull a lot of strings and make people 's lives miserable . get my drift ? luca : i took a calculated risk coming here . victor : you bet you did . luca : look , somehow , i assumed that your desire to keep your company from crumbling outweighed your contempt for me . no ? victor : that 's the third time you 've been wrong . now , you get out of my face . guard ! nick : you know , everyone keeps coming up to me and telling me how sorry they are for my loss . and your words -- they 're just so polite . what do any of you know about my loss ? you do n't know anything . victoria : faith does n't need to hear any of this . nikki : no , i was thinking the same thing . nick : your so - called kindness -- it 's empty . it does n't mean anything . it 's the way i felt ever since this happened . victoria : nick . come on . come sit down next to me . it 's gon na be okay . nick : no , it 's not gon na be okay . it 's never gon na be okay , because my son is gone ! and i never even got a chance to hold him ! and he 's gone forever ! and it 's all sage wanted was a child of her own , and now she 's gone , too ! and i do n't know how to move on ! sharon : nick . you 're wrong . you 're not alone . [ next_on ] abby : you 're not gon na like hearing this . i think max set that fire . marisa : luca 's only using summer to get his hooks into the newman family . i think you underestimate his ambition . luca : good news or bad ? i do n't think you 're gon na like what i found out .
max overhears lily and devon saying that abby asked dylan to investigate the accident that caused her to lose her baby . max persuades charlie to steal the athletic club 's master key card . max goes into the surveillance camera room and starts a fire . victor asks dr. gates to go to sage 's memorial service and tell nick that he cares about him very much , but the doctor refuses to get involved in victor 's personal life . michael informs adam that he is named in sage 's will , so he must be present at the will reading after the memorial service . victoria confronts nikki about giving her voting proxy to the only board member that is on victor 's side . nikki apologizes to victoria , because she thought that victor might forgive her if she gave him her voting proxy , but she realizes that victor will never forgiver her . dr gates tries to persuade victor to forgive his family , but he insists that they are the reason he is in jail , so they should be asking for his forgiveness . nick has a breakdown at the memorial service and tells everyone he feels alone since he has lost sage and christian . sharon assures him he is n't alone . victor makes it clear to luca that he will never run newman enterprises , because he disapproves of his using summer to get into the newman family .
<s>[INST] nick : you know , today 's ceremony is a chance for everybody who loved sage to say goodbye . faith : it 'll be sad . nick : yeah . it 's gon na be really sad . we 're all gon na miss her . but at least we 're gon na have all those good memories that we can hang on to , right ? faith : like when sage used to read to us . nick : yeah . exactly . you know , a big part of today is gon na be sharing those memories and celebrating the fact that sage was in our lives and we 're very grateful for that . faith : and 'cause we know she 's wish the angels now with christian . dylan : i 'm gon na stop by the club after the service , and , uh , i want to take a look at the surveillance footage from the day abby fell . lily : why are the police investigating ? it was an accident . dylan : abby asked me to look into it . lily : well , is there something that we should know ? is there a reason to be suspicious ? dylan : no . just , uh , dotting the `` i 's , `` crossing the `` t 's `` on this one . lily : okay . well , i 'll be expecting you , then . dylan : thanks , lily . lily : thanks . dylan : wha - what 's this ? sharon : what 's what ? dylan : well , you 're supposed to be dressed . we got to go . sharon : um ... i 'm not gon na do , dylan . i ca n't . [ knock on door ] victoria : come in . nikki : hi , sweetheart . victoria : hey , mom . nikki : i thought we could go to the service together . victoria : yeah , sure . just give me a few minutes to finish up . nikki : oh , take your time . it 's fine . [ sighs ] it 's still hard to believe that we 're burying sage today . we have to be very strong for your brother , really come together as a family . victoria : yeah . i agree . today should be all about nicholas , which is why i want to get this off my chest right now . nikki : it has something to do with your father ? victoria : we all know that curtis fielding is the only board member on dad 's side . so giving him your proxy to vote would be lethal . it would be like handing dad a weapon that he 'd turn around and use against me . so , my question is , why did you do it , mom ? meredith : okay . good . 122/76 . victor : that 's good . meredith : yeah . victor : i 'll live . meredith : you will . now as long as nobody punches you , your injury should heal quite nicely . victor : uh , nobody punched me , okay ? meredith : oh , that 's right . i forgot . so , um , i 'm curious . when i wrote you up for using my phone , were you disciplined in any way ? victor : yeah . they cut down my exercise time . meredith : well , i hope you understand why i had to report it . victor : of course i do . i broke the rules , so you did nothing wrong . there are consequences . meredith : well , your pragmatism is quite refreshing . you 're free to go . victor : all right . let me ask you . have -- have you thought about the discussion we had yesterday about your dad ? i mean , how he and i had similar views about things and how i might help you to understand how he relates to his children ? meredith : all families are different . victor : yeah , but you know , if you heard what i have to say about all this , since he and i are somewhat similar , maybe you would find him more sympathetic . meredith : can i be honest with you , victor ? victor : sure . meredith : you are locked in here , spending all day , every day , looking for new and improved ways to torture your own wife and kids . victor : what ? meredith : hold on . hear me out , please . and yet , at the same time , you 're also looking for them to sympathize with you . so , do n't you see the disconnect ? victor : but i 'm not looking for anyone 's sympathy . what are you talking about ? meredith : well , what are -- victor : i did n't ask my children to come here . they are the ones who are looking for forgiveness . chelsea : are you okay ? are you ready for today ? adam : yeah . no . i 'm not . i just ... what if i 'm not ? what if -- what if i just want to go back upstairs and want to pull the sheets over my head and just pretend like this whole damn thing is n't happening ? chelsea : i know this is awful for you . just -- just know that i 'm -- i 'm with you every step of the way . adam : i know that . i know that you are . thank you . i just get a little nervous about showing my face at memorials , you know ? chelsea : why ? you and sage were friends . everyone will be expecting to see you there . adam : it 's not that . chelsea : well , then what is it ? adam : i just have a hard time at these things , you know ? it 's like , that 's , uh -- at christian 's memorial , that 's how victor found out that i was the father . i ca n't -- ca n't keep everything in , you know ? chelsea : you and sage were close . listen to me . no one is going to be questioning your grief . [ doorbell rings ] adam : expecting someone ? chelsea : no . adam : all right . hold on . hey . michael . michael : may i come in ? adam : please . come on in . yeah . michael : thanks . hey . chelsea : hey . michael : i was on my way to the memorial service . uh , i thought i might deliver my news in person . adam : what news would that be ? michael : well , as it turns out , i am sage 's executor . [ sighs ] she named you in the will . i 'd like you to be present when it 's read . summer : i wish we could just stay here forever . but since we ca n't ... luca : who says we ca n't ? summer : no . it 's -- yeah , it 's getting late . i should probably go get in the shower and get ready for sage 's memorial service . luca : you know , if you 'd like , i can rearrange my day , come with you for moral support . summer : that 's really sweet of you . um , but as much as i would love to have you there to lean on , just given the way my family feels ... i do n't know . luca : say no more . i 'll be here afterward , waiting for you . summer : okay . thank you for understanding . my dad just -- you know , he has enough to deal with today . max : what are you doing here ? abby : i 'm looking for your father . we need to talk . max : you 're wasting your time . he 's never gon na forgive you about what you said to me . abby : we 'll see . lily : hi . so , charlie set up the game . he 's waiting for you . abby : wow . i ca n't believe you agreed to another playdate . lily : um , stitch got paged into work , so i offered to watch max . abby : lily , he goaded your son into pulling a fire alarm in a public place . he 's not a good influence . lily : well , charlie decided to give him another chance , so i said okay . i mean , they 're just playing checkers . i 'll keep a close eye on them . abby : smart idea . lily : abby , what is going on with you ? why are stitch and max staying here ? abby : max is still upset with me , but , lily , i know i 'm right . lily : abby , you 're grieving . your emotions are all over the place . abby : it 's not hormones . the kid has hated me since the day we met . he 's hated the idea of being a family . if he sees me as a threat , i can only imagine how he sees this -- this child , this child that would tie me to his father forever . lily : max is a kid . what you 're accusing him of -- lily : is horrible . yes . i know . but my baby is dead , and every instinct in me is telling me that max is responsible . lily : have you really thought this through ? getting the police involved ? i mean , having them investigate your husband 's eight - year - old son ? that 's the kind of thing that can wreck a marriage . are you willing to risk that ? dylan : sleep tight , little man . you know ... sage was more than just somebody you worked with . you know , she was a friend , someone who turned to you when she lost her child and was drowning with grief , and -- and you let her take comfort in our son when nothing came close to doing that . it 's one of the kindest things i 've ever seen you do . i know that , um -- that you 're having a hard time accepting that she 's gone . you know , we all are . but today , this is about honoring sage 's life and the people that she left behind , doing what 's right for them . and faith -- you know , faith 's never been to a service like this . it 'd be great if her mom was there , showing her by example that this is just -- you know , it 's a part of life , something caring that people do , that when tough situations like this happen , you know , we all stick together . it 's gon na be a tough day for nick . and i 'm sure he 'd appreciate it if you were there . sharon : okay . you 're right . i 've been very caught up in everything that i 've been going through , but this does affect a lot of other people . adam : sage left me something ? michael : yep . adam : huh . chelsea : well , what is it ? michael : um ... well , i ca n't tell you that now . the reading 's going to be at newman tower following the , uh , memorial service . adam : well , who 's gon na be there ? michael : various newman family members . look , i 've got to head out . i 'll see you at the memorial . chelsea : we 'll be there . [ door closes ] adam : sage 's bequest . what if it 's about christian ? victoria : dad thinks that it 's our fault that he 's in prison . in his mind , it 's not because of the terrible crimes that he 's committed but it 's because he thinks that we betrayed him . you knew that his thinking was twisted like this , and yet you helped to humiliated me . he sold newman cosmetics out from underneath me , a division that has been mine all along , to billy of all people . you pretend like you do n't know what 's going on , but you know what 's going on ! why did you give up that vote ? nikki : i was desperate , victoria ! your father was refusing to see me , and i felt like my whole life was falling apart . i was losing him . i was losing myself ! and then nicholas got him to agree to see me , and i was so ecstatic until i saw him , face to face . he was so cold . he was so distant . i was practically begging him to forgive me . i - i said -- i said , `` i 'll do anything . just -- just tell me what you want . `` victoria : and what he wanted was the power to screw me over , which you conveniently handed him . nikki : oh , my god . i can not believe he would be so spiteful that he would deliberately hurt you . victoria : well , he did . nikki : my darling , i am so sorry . i - i did n't think it through . victoria : no , you did n't . he used you , mom . nikki : i know the damage is done . the one thing i 've learned through this whole horrific experience is that victor is never , ever going to forgive me . meredith : forgiveness . that 's a pretty tall order . victor , you are hurting people that your family cares about . and now you 're just going out of your way to antagonize them . victor : i 'm not going out of the way to antagonize them . i mean , you and i are talking pretty honestly . what you may not know is that my family testified against me , their own father . i think they come to visit me because they realize that , you know , they did something egregiously wrong . when they come to see me , i can see that they are regretful . i think they 're asking for my love and forgiveness . meredith : how can there be any hope of healing and redemption if you ca n't admit that you 've done anything wrong ? adam : why else would sage have left me that message ? why -- why would she be so intent on talking to me about christian ? i 'm telling you , my father lied to me . he told her that i switched the results of the paternity test . that 's what happened . chelsea : adam , adam , stop . you are letting your guilt get the best of you . adam : no , no , no . no , i do n't think so . chelsea : let 's just think about this logically for one second , okay ? let 's just say that victor outed you . why would he lie about it now ? think about it . what good would that do him ? adam : honey , i do n't know . i never know what 's going on inside that guy 's head . i do n't know . chelsea : why would he even tell sage ? because what would sage do with that information ? hmm ? she would go straight to nick . babe , that would destroy nick . that would absolutely devastate him . adam : yeah , you 're probably right . and my father cares nothing about collateral damage . you know that . chelsea : okay . you are overreacting because you 're upset . just because sage left you something does n't mean that she knows that you were christian 's father . for all we know -- who knows ? you spent all of that time in constance 's home with sage . maybe she wanted , you know , you to have some keepsake . that 's possible , is n't it ? adam : a keepsake ? sweetheart , really ? come on . we both know the truth has a way of coming out . chelsea : but putting it in her will ? that would just be mean . that would just be cruel . and , sage -- she did n't have a vindictive bone in her body , babe . i mean , she would never have wanted the truth to come out like this . adam : well , maybe not , but you know what ? her whole world got turned upside down the day that gabriel bingham died rescuing me . and then she got caught up in my life and all of my problems and the damn newmans . chelsea : what are you talking about ? she met the love of her life through you -- nick . adam : yeah , but that does n't take away from the fact that she feels betrayed and lied to and taken advantage of by me . maybe -- maybe this is her way of settling the score . chelsea : so , what do we do now ? adam : well , the only thing we can do . we -- we go to the memorial , we honor her , and then we go to the reading ... together and we -- we see what she has in store for us . victor : i miss my family a lot today . especially today . my son is burying his wife . meredith : oh . i 'm so sorry . i - i - i had no idea . how did it happen ? victor : she died in a car accident . meredith : wow . that 's a terrible shock . victor : well . [ sighs ] he and his wife had a little baby boy called christian , named after me . but he was born prematurely , did n't survive it . so , within a year 's time , my son has to deal with the loss of two -- two people . and i ca n't be there . it breaks my heart . anyway , it puts things in perspective , you know ? meredith : wow . why are you telling me all this ? victor : [ sighs ] nick : thanks for coming by and offering to give us a ride . noah : anything i can do to help . faith : today 's about remembering the good times you had with sage . right , daddy ? nick : you got it . why do n't you go upstairs and put your shoes on so we can go ? faith : okay . nick : it 's nice to have the little ray of sunshine around , huh ? she always keeps that optimism . summer : she definitely got that from you , dad . noah : yeah , it sounds like you explained what today 's about in just the right way . nick : what was i supposed to say ? that we 're cursed ? sharon : cursed ? nick : sometimes i feel like that . i try not to think about our family in that way . i know how it sounds , but there must be times when you guys feel like that . noah : yeah . only on a regular basis . and i can see how you would get there . first losing cassie , then christian , now sage . grandpa 's in jail . grandma 's drinking again . this family 's in turmoil . summer : okay , noah , every family has its problems , but you have to remember that our family is lucky in a way that other families are n't because of how close we are and -- and because of how loyal we are . look , i mean , after everything , we still love each other . and when there 's a crisis , we band together . and , yes , grandpa might not think so at the moment , but it 's true . it 's what we do , because we are newmans . and i am proud to be a newman . look , i 'm sorry , dad . i really am . but please , just do n't -- do n't talk about there being a family curse , because there 's -- there 's not . nick : [ chuckles ] well , when you 're right , you 're right . will you forgive me ? summer : for -- for what ? nick : i forgot about my original ray of sunshine . luca : mr. hamilton . luca santori . devon : how you doing ? have we met before ? luca : oh , indeed , we have . you remember ? devon : i ... you were at abby and stitch 's wedding with , um ... luca : marisa , uh , my wife at the time . devon : that 's right . um , noah has spoken about you . luca : noah . yeah , um , he and i are old pals . i like him . he 's got a good head on his shoulders . devon : he does n't really care much for you . luca : yeah , no . he does n't . yeah . he 's made that ear on several occasions . look , i ju -- i just wanted to properly introduce myself . i 've been following the medical research you 're funding -- some very promising work . devon : yeah , it is . it is . we , um -- we 've hit a few snags lately , but , uh , it 's set us back a little bit . luca : with such a cutting - edge project , that 's to be expected . i saw the press announcement . i thought your wife handled it beautifully . devon : well , i appreciate that . luca : yeah . devon : um , what is it exactly that you do ? luca : well , i , um -- i came here to head up a joint venture between newman enterprises and my father 's company in europe . that project has concluded , but i found myself quite taken with genoa city . so , i 'm looking for new opportunities here . devon : well , that 's fantastic . well , good luck with that . luca : thank you . i 'm sure we 'll be seeing a lot of each other . lily : please think long and hard about this before you take it any further . abby : i trust my instincts , lily , and if i 'm right , we need to get max some help . lily : and if you 're wrong ? abby : if i 'm wrong , then i accept the consequences , whatever they are . hi . devon : hey . what was that about ? lily : we have a problem . dylan called in his official capacity . devon : what for ? lily : he wants to check the security tapes from the day abby fell . devon : why ? was n't it -- lily : an accident . i know . but abby does n't believe it . she wants the police to investigate . lily : depending on what the police find on those tapes , we could be looking at a major lawsuit . devon : i thought you and cane already checked those tapes after abby fell . lily : we did . it looked like she just tripped . but abby 's having a hard time letting it go . devon : that 's understandable , i guess . i mean ... lily : i mean , if you want , if you agree to it , i 'll turn over everything we have . otherwise -- unless you want to call our lawyer first . devon : no , lily . no need to do that . we need to get to the bottom of this , so just give dylan whatever he needs . lily : okay . you got it . charlie : hey , where 'd you go ? i 've been looking for you . it 's your move . max : checkers is lame . i have an idea for a new game . it 's called robot spies . charlie : how do you play ? max : we have to sneak into the lobby , and you have to swipe the master key card without being caught . it 's to save the world . but if you 're too chicken ... charlie : i am not . luca : i understand your concern , which is why i 'm sharing this information . since victoria took over , newman 's been in free fall . she neglected to shore up the board and lost a major consumer division . it was a careless mistake , but she 's paying the price now , the whole company is . i speak for victor as well as myself when i say your loyalty wo n't be forgotten . victor : you know , i remember the day of the memorial for my grandson christian and how that affected my boy nicholas . he leaned on me as he almost never had before . it broke my heart to see him like that . and now i ca n't be there for him . but you know , you could be . meredith : me ? victor : yeah . you could go to the memorial service . it 's at chancellor park . meredith : victor , that 's -- no . that 's just completely inappropriate . victor : but i 'm not asking you as a , you know , prison employee or as a prison doctor . i just have a feeling that you 're a very compassionate woman . and i 'd just like you to go there and tell my boy that i care about him ... very much , okay ?

will : you read it ? paul : whew , it was awesome . that 's why i asked for you to write this one . will : you requested me specifically ? paul : they did n't tell you ? will : um , i 'm a little jetlagged , i 'm sure they did , and it just did n't register . paul : okay , full disclosure . i was surprised when i answered the door , but not because i was expecting room service , it was ... because i was n't expecting you to be so young . will : [ laughs ] well , there 's not much i can do about that . paul : no , i mean -- no , that article was awesome , it 's just -- you surprised me , that 's all . it 's -- it 's fine . will : well , i just -- i hope that you do n't come to regret asking for me . paul : i 'm sure i wo n't . adrienne : thanks . sonny : mm - hmm . lucas : hey . sonny : hey , lucas . adrienne : hi . sonny : your usual ? lucas : no , no , i 'm actually -- i 'm actually good right now . um , you do n't know will 's schedule by any chance , do you ? sonny : not really . but he 'll be calling you soon . lucas : well , do n't rush him , he probably needs a little time for that . it 's just his mom is a little worried , that 's all . sonny : sami ? lucas : yeah . sonny : why ? lucas : well , you know , he 's not returning her calls , and she knows how upset he is , so -- sonny : upset ? lucas : yeah , because he got replaced . i guess that 's how it works in hollywood , they do n't like the way you 're writing , and boom , they replace you with another writer . sonny : yeah . yeah , he said it was awful . it 's like high school with money . lucas : right . sonny : mm - hmm . lucas : yeah , i 'll bet it is . still , i think it 's for the best . that way , he can come home where he belongs , right ? he 'll work for sonix where they love him , and you know , if those producers had signed off on that draft , who knows how long he and ari would have been out there ? sonny : yeah , who knows ? paul : are you sure you do n't want anything ? will : oh , i 'm all right . is this gon na be okay ? paul : as long as it 's for your personal reference for the article . will : it is . so mr. narita -- paul : please , `` paul . `` will : okay , then , paul . my editor briefed me about the importance for confidentiality , discretion . paul : and did that register ? will : it did . paul : then we 're good . will : is now not a good time ? paul : no , it 's -- i was just thinking . i only made the deal with your editor last night . so i figured you 'd being doing a little bit more research for a while . will : [ laughs ] i will be , but i wanted to get to know you a bit myself before i read what other writers had to say . paul : that 's great . see , i been doing this for a while , and it seems like most writers , they already have a general idea of what they 're gon na write even before they ask me a single question . i do n't know , maybe that 's okay . maybe they know me more than i know myself . will : i doubt that . paul : you never know . will : ready ? paul : hello , i 'm paul narita , and i play baseball . will : [ laughs ] marlena : okay . nicole : all right , you win . you got me away from eric and whoever that was he was talking to . marlena : ask yourself this : why is it so important for you to know who eric was with ? serena : eric , why do n't you just tell me what it is you 're thinking ? or at least why you had that reaction when i said nicole 's name . eric : i wish i did n't have any kind of reaction to her -- her name , to what she did . i just wish she meant nothing . serena : we ca n't make ourselves not feel . we can bury the feelings , deny the feelings , but they 're always there . eric : i know , i 'm finding that out too , but you do n't know how much i wish i could put it all this behind me . it 's just that this anger , sometimes , i actually feel like it 's getting stronger . serena : because every day , you have to face what she took from you . i have to say -- and i sure as hell do n't claim to be perfect -- but i just do n't understand how she could have done what she did to you . how could she claim to love you and then keep you from being a priest ? eric : you do n't understand because that 's not something that you would do . serena , in a way , this mirrors what happened to us . when i realized what i needed to do ... you gave me up , but you gave me up willingly , because you understood . serena : `` willingly `` is a nice way of saying i did n't have a choice in the matter . eric : i broke your heart , and i know that . serena : i could n't have changed your mind . but somehow , this conversation has gotten to be about me . you were going to tell me , what does nicole have to do with us ? melanie : no , i 'm not sitting . brady : no , you 're going to sit down . melanie : no , i 'm not gon na sit -- listen , she attacked me . brady : we 're gon na talk , you 're gon na listen . melanie : she went off . i 'm gon na call the police . brady : you 're gon na sit down , i 'm gon na talk . i got you your job . melanie : what ? brady : you heard me . melanie : [ laughs ] thank you so much ! brady : you 're welcome . melanie : thank you ! brady : you 're welcome . you 're welcome . now , will you sit down and listen for a second , please ? have a seat . i did what i did to get you your job , but you have to make sure that you keep it , okay ? melanie : that 'll be easy . i 'm an awesome nurse . brady : yeah , that 's not the issue , melanie . the issue is , you ca n't go all american ninja warrior on people in that hospital when you get angry . melanie : she came at me . brady : totally unprovoked ? yeah , yeah , when walked by and i heard both of you screaming at each other , it really seemed like you were trying to smooth things over , melanie . what if it was somebody else that walked by and heard you screaming , huh ? a head nurse ? an administrator , maybe your dad ? melanie : okay . you 're right . you really think she 's not gon na blab about this ? brady : mm , i had a little talk with her . i think she got the message . melanie : yeah ? all right , well , i hope so . but you 're right , i do n't want my dad finding out about this , so ... i 'm not gon na -- i 'm not gon na lie to him , i just -- i think it would be better if -- if -- if it was n't brought up . brady : mm - hmm . you want me to keep my mouth shut , right ? melanie : uh , i - i just feel like he 's been through a lot of stress with the casino people -- and obviously , you have too , which is -- brady : mmm . all right , let -- i 'll make you a deal . i will not say anything about what happened today , never mention it again , but i have a condition . melanie : uh - ohh . brady : it 's not funny . i 'm serious about this . it 's about theresa . theresa : okay . yeah , okay . anne : [ sighs ] theresa : look , you are worthless . anne : [ sighs ] paul : so i was born in japan and i was raised in the bay area . will : you 're a giants fan . me too . paul : well , i had to be . my grandfather was their biggest fan ever . i mean , he was the one who got me hooked . he taught me his curve ball . [ chuckles ] he 'd spend hours coaching me . i - i think about him every time i step on the mound . will : well , so your love for the game started at a very early age . do you still love it ? paul : well , it 's done great things for my life ... mostly . will : right . i know the lengths you went to keep this surgery quiet . who have you spoken to about it ? paul : no one but my agent , my mother , and my grandfather . will : you did n't speak to any of your teammates ? was n't there another pitcher on your team ? um , dolan . dolan had the surgery back in 2011 . i would have thought it 'd be natural to talk to him about it . paul : i did n't want anyone to know . see , pitchers , we 're different . we tend to be loners . i mean , if you watch a game , you 're gon na see pitchers always sitting in the dugout alone . [ phone ringing ] paul : it 's my agent , i have to get back to him . will : absolutely , no problem . i have more than enough . i 'll get going on that research now . paul : so you think you have enough information on me to kind of know what kind of guy i am ? will : yeah , well , i 'll say this , you really seem to be truly comfortable with who you are . paul : well , it 's all an act . [ both laughing ] paul : it was nice meeting you . i look forward to working with you . will : you as well . sonny : sorry i was a little abrupt just now . lucas : no , that 's all right . you 've got a lot to deal with , a lot on your plate . sonny : mm - hmm . [ phone ringing ] sonny : here -- i got to take this . hello ? will : hey , good news , i wo n't be working late after all . are you still at the club ? i 'll be right there . sonny : no , no . where are you ? i 'll come to you . will : why ? i 'm just cutting through the park . sonny : stay right there . hey , something just came up . i got to go . it was good seeing you , lucas . lucas : all right , take care . you want to tell me what 's going on ? nicole : well , i have a question for you . do you always talk to people like you 're in one of your sessions ? i mean , in a few minutes , are you gon na tell me my time is up ? marlena : [ laughing ] no . no . but think about this ... why do you care who eric is with ? whether it 's a friend or somebody who 's more than a friend -- because the two of you are done . nicole : well , thank you for the reminder . only next time , can you try to keep the glee out of your voice ? marlena : no , please do n't misunderstand , i 'm -- look , i 'm not trying to gloat . the reason i invited you here was to help you . eric : it 's this vicious circle . i ca n't get over the anger i have towards nicole until i forgive her , and i just -- i just ca n't forgive her . and then i get angry at the person that i 've become . serena : you 're the same man , eric . eric : no , i 'm not . i used to be a forgiving person , but now , i just -- i feel stuck . i pray , but -- serena : so you 're saying you want to be a priest again , but you have to sort out your feelings for nicole first ? eric : serena , i ca n't deal with the fact that i ca n't be a priest again , because i have this core anger inside of me . serena : of course you do . after what they did to you ? and it was n't just nicole . kristen dimera set this whole nightmare in motion . you would n't be human if you were n't angry , eric . eric : no , it 's more than that . i ca n't make the world understand that it 's changed me . now , i see the world and the people in that world with -- serena : with what , eric ? eric : with hate . you ca n't be a priest when you hate . serena : you 've been screwed to the wall twice by some world - class bitches , and you think you 're just supposed to forgive and forget like francis of assisi , or something . eric : oh , my god , you 've always had a unique perspective . serena : do n't tell me i have a unique perspective . tell me i 'm right . eric : it 's -- serena : you 've got to ease up on yourself , eric . go to the gym , beat up on a heavy bag , but not yourself . eric : serena , i 'm not asking you to take me on as a cause . serena : well , i can if i want to . eric : no , you ca n't . i 'm all -- i 'm not telling you this to get your sympathy . i 'm trying to tell you that i 've lost all ability to love and trust anyone . it 's not fair to you . i mean , it is incredible to see you again . but this is my problem . i already hurt you once , and i ca n't bear the thought of doing that again . especially to you , you 're someone i -- you 're someone i really care about . theresa : do you have any idea the amount of pure , unadulterated grief that 's gone on in this room in the last hour ? first brady , and then that little munchkin , and then brady again , all because you said you could keep that bitch from working here . and you know what , it was n't even my idea , anne , and i 'm getting blamed for it ! anne : and you think this is a fine idea , turning on me , the only friend you have left in the world , theresa ? theresa : and now , not only do i have to work with that little nurse thing on a daily basis , but brady 's anointed himself her protector . yeah , she gets to play the damsel in distress , and i 'm the villain in this story . i mean -- and brady looked at me like he hated me . anne : he does hate you , but not because you were mean to the new nurse , but because you bashed his father 's head in with a fireplace poker and let brady think he did it . theresa : look , oh , my god , are we ever gon na move on from that ? look , the past is the past , anne . anne : you can not be surprised that melanie has issues with you ! my god , do you even remember what you put her father through ? theresa : whose side are you on ? anne : come on . theresa : obviously , not mine . no one is . no one is ever on my side . god . why do all these horrible things keep happening to me ? brady : theresa is , at best , complicated . melanie : yeah . a few other words come to mind , especially after abigail told me what she did to my dad , which was social work compared to what she did to you . brady : [ sighs ] you 're right , she has a long , long , bad history , but more importantly , this is what i want you to remember about her , she is a -- what 's the technical term ? whack job , melanie . listen , listen , she hates your father and jennifer for no reason . she literally made their lives hell , and they did n't do anything to her . now , you 're in her face right now . she does n't deal well with that . she does n't brood , she just takes action , aggressively . you 're on her radar , and it 's a bad , dangerous place to be . melanie : yeah , well , i can handle myself . but you 're right , i 'll be careful . but i 'm not gon na forget about what she did to my dad , and i am definitely not gon na forget about what she did to you . derrick : is everything okay ? paul : everything 's great , derrick . derrick : is there anything else i can do for you ? paul : no , i 'm -- i 'm good . derrick : okay . just call if you need anything . paul : grandfather ? [ speaking japanese ] will : hey , there you are . did something happen ? what 's wrong ? sonny : what 's wrong is you lied to me . you did n't come back 'cause you missed me . you came back 'cause you were fired . my name is daniel . i have diabetic nerve pain . theresa : it 's just -- it 's awful . it 's unbearable , anne . anne : [ sighs ] no , it is n't . come on , theresa , you do n't give a damn what these people think of you . you get a kick out of ticking people off . theresa : not everyone . it would n't be so bad if things were different with -- anne : with brady ? melanie : she lied to you about being pregnant , and that alone makes me want to strangle her . brady : i 'm not sure it was a lie . melanie : really ? she 's not pregnant , is she ? did she have a miscarriage maybe ? or was she trying to trap you into marrying her , at least getting some kind of payoff , which makes that a lie with a follow - up punch of extortion . brady : it could have been just a mistake . i think that she thought she was pregnant . melanie : no , man , no , i know that girl . i was that girl . just be glad she 's out of your life . adrienne : so sonny 's been totally under the gun with this new club and everything , and it 's just eating him up . lucas : how much cash did dimera put in ? adrienne : [ sighs ] i do n't know , but i saw chad , and he seems very confident that sonny can make it all work out , but -- mm . lucas : yeah , `` but . `` adrienne : mm , i should worry , right ? lucas : i like chad , i do , but lately , i 've heard some stories about him . adrienne : your mom 's his partner now , right ? lucas : yeah . yeah , and she 's not happy about it either . i mean , how long was chad gone ? and how long was he joined with stefano at the hip ? adrienne : so i should worry that he 's taking advantage of sonny . lucas : well , i would n't put it past anybody named dimera . adrienne : [ chuckles ] [ phone ringing ] lucas : oh , no . adrienne : not a fun text , i take it . lucas : no , no , not a fun text at all . it 's sami , and it 's all capitals , and multiple exclamation points , and it says , `` do not tell sonny that will was fired . `` only problem is , i already told him . adrienne : he acted like he knew . lucas : he must have been covering or something . i 'm dead . i 'm gon na catch hell for this . sonny : your dad talked to your mom . she told him everything that happened out there , so do n't even try and deny it . will : i 'm not denying anything . but sonny , it was humiliating . i 'm not exactly going around just telling everyone about it . sonny : i 'm not `` everyone . `` will : i know , i know . sonny , i wanted to wait until we actually had some -- some time to really sit down and talk about it . it was kind of awful . you know , i turned in three drafts , and with each draft , they 'd give me notes on what to change , and sometimes , these notes , they 'd contradict what they had already said . one thing they made clear is that it was never good enough . and then i find out they brought in this whole other writer as soon as i turned in my first draft , but they did n't tell me , they just kept stringing me along , 'cause of my mom . sonny : i 'm sorry . i really am . but i should have known what was going on out there , and i should have known why you came back . like i said , i 'm not everyone . i 'm your husband . will : you do n't have to remind me of that . sonny , i missed you like crazy . you know that . sonny : no , i do n't . marlena : i want you to know that it 's over between you and eric . and -- and if you try to bring it up again , yes , you 'll hurt eric , but you 'll hurt yourself even more , because dwelling on it , obsessing over it will keep you from moving on with your own life , and that 's unhealthy , that -- that 's -- it 's toxic . nicole : i am not obsessing , okay ? marlena : you need to stop doing it . nicole : i simply asked for a person 's name and i got 20 minutes of dr. phil . i want to live my life . i want eric to be happy , and he did n't look happy talking to that woman , so i 'm sorry . i will not ask you a question about eric again ever , okay ? marlena : okay . we have an understanding . nicole : thank you . know - it - all bitch . i do n't care about eric . i am not rebounding . and there is only one person who needs to know that . serena : you know , you were kind of a bad boy back in africa . eric : [ chuckles ] serena : but this person sitting in front of me , this good , decent person , that was in you then . and it 's who you are now . it 's who i fell in love with . except ... maybe -- and this is kind of hard to take -- you 're better looking now . how that 's even possible . eric : [ laughs ] serena : no need to say the same about me . eric : there 's no need to , because you already know that . serena : yeah , it 's true . [ both laughing ] serena : so my point here is , why shut the door on a possibility ? a possibility , eric . i did n't come here to get you back , i do n't even know if i want you , but i think it 's arrogant to say that we 're stuck where we were when you left . we could be friends . see what happens . i think we should go slowly . but go . if , that is , you 're open to at least trying . eric : you know how much i loved you . serena : and i - i get the whole trust thing . i understand that you ca n't trust anymore , and i think -- hope that can change . and that maybe one day , you can feel strongly again . eric : maybe i can . serena : i hope so . 'cause , eric , you 're worth the fight . brady : stop comparing yourself to theresa , okay ? melanie : yeah , well , it takes one to know one , so -- brady : let 's cut to the chase here , okay ? look , melanie , i need you to make me a promise . melanie : i already know what you 're gon na say , my dad made me promise him the same thing . theresa : were you even listening ? anne : oh . theresa : i was n't talking about brady . besides , i 've moved on . anne : with the baseball player ? huh ? the guy who checked out of here and did n't leave a forwarding address ? theresa : i 'll find him , anne , okay , things were going really well for us . listen , he is my ticket out of here , okay , out of this miserable life and this miserable job . anne : somehow , you maintain your sunny disposition . theresa : now -- and just to make matters worse , i have to deal with danny boy 's daughter each and every day . look , i 'll tell you this , anne , i am not looking for trouble . i 'll be happy to pretend that she does n't exist . melanie : i 'll steer clear of her . theresa : i promise . but if she starts something ... melanie : if she thinks she can get a piece of me -- theresa : she is going to be sorry ... both : really freaking sorry . paul : [ speaking japanese ] hi , mom . yeah , grandfather sounds great . is he good enough to travel ? it 'd be great if you both could make it out , you know , sometime around christmas . i 'll still be in town doing physical therapy . yeah , 'cause then it would n't be as lonely . sonny : how long were you gone , will ? and while you were gone , how many times did we talk on the phone ? three ? will : it 's not because i did n't miss you . i was busy . sonny : do n't i know it ? those three calls , that 's all you talked about , how busy you were , how amazing it was , the people you met and where you met them . you loved it , that was crystal clear . you loved it so much , i started thinking you were never gon na come back . will : that 's not fair . you know the only way that i could have stayed there is if you had come there to be with me . sonny : i told you that was n't happening . will : right , because of the club . i 'm sorry , `` clubs , `` plural . 'cause of your career . sonny : [ sighs ] so this is my fault ? i 'm not saying that . sonny , i just do n't know where this is coming from . and i know that if i had to make a choice -- sonny : but you did n't have to make a choice . that 's the thing , someone made it for you . that 's why you 're back . will : sonny . sonny : i have to get back to work . will : sonny ! nicole : hi , i 'd like to talk to dr. jonas . sorry , he went over to st. mary 's for a consult . nicole : oh . okay , thanks . both : oh ! nicole : oh , my gosh . serena : sorry . nicole : [ clears throat ]
melanie and theresa ended up fighting when melanie thought theresa was lying about being pregnant with brady 's baby . brady had to break them up . paul requested will to write the article about him . paul did n't expect will to be so young . paul continued to stare at will as he sat in the room with him . nicole saw eric with serena and was n't happy about it . marlena saw nicole and wanted to take her somewhere so they could talk about what nicole saw . eric told serena about what happened with nicole . serena wanted to know where that left them .
<s>[INST] adrienne : hey , gramps , you must be in a good mood . lucas : excuse me ? adrienne : i 'm sorry , did i say something wrong ? lucas : no , no , i just did n't know what you meant , that 's all . adrienne : with will and ari back , you must be thrilled . lucas : what are you talking about , they 're back ? adrienne : you did n't know ? lucas : no , i did n't know ! sonny : actually , everything 's a mess . paul : we can talk about it . [ knocking at the door ] paul : oh , that was fast . you -- you are n't room service , are you ? will : no , i 'm will horton ... the writer . eric : i need to be honest about whatever our feelings are for each other . what you can actually expect from me . nicole : who is that woman ? well , whoever you are , this seems to be your favorite place in town . marlena : oh , nicole ! wait . eric : i know this probably sounds -- serena : awkward ? it 's okay , eric , you do n't owe me anything . eric : i think i do . it 's just ... well , it 's complicated . see , i do n't want you to think that i 'm not happy to see you . i am , i really am . serena : but ? eric : but ... in terms of the two of us , it -- well , if it seems that i 'm a bit hesitant , there 's a reason . serena : and the reason 's name is `` nicole . `` marlena : i just -- i thought i would join you . nicole : why ? i mean , that would be a really bad idea . i think i 've had enough caffeine for the day . hmm . that woman in there , do you know who she is ? marlena : i do . nicole : ah . so if you know her , the she must be a friend of the family , something like that ? marlena : something like that , yes . brady : ms. milbauer , hold up . anne : i -- you know , mr. black , i just realized i left my notes back in -- brady : no , no , no , hold on . hold on , this 'll only take a second , do n't worry about it . i want you to know , i spoke to theresa . anne : oh , that 's good . brady : and now she understands , as i 'm hoping you will clearly understand , that i will not tolerate anyone messing with melanie jonas anymore . from now on , this lovely place is going to be a drama - free zone . [ slams door ] melanie : you faked getting pregnant by brady ? theresa : you know what , i have had just about as much grief as i can handle for today , so excuse me . melanie : how -- how about all the grief that you have been dishing out to people ? you stole from the hospital , you did drugs with a teenager , you od 'd , you lied about it to my dad , to everybody else , you almost destroyed brady 's life with drugs and alcohol , but this one , this right here , oh , my gosh , this one takes the cake , so at least now i know how low you are actually willing to go ! serena : i 'm sorry . that was out of line . eric : no . serena : i do n't know her . i 've never even seen a picture of her , and this is all so not any of my business . eric : actually , it is . nicole : what is it ? she 's either a family friend or she is n't . marlena : why do n't we go someplace where we can talk about it ? okay . melanie : okay , so obviously , you 're not just a horrible person , but you 're stupid too . did you actually think that you could pull off faking an entire pregnancy ? theresa : it was a mistake , okay , i was n't trying to fool anyone . melanie : as if anybody with half a brain would believe that ! theresa : i do n't care what you think ! just shut the hell up ! melanie : and that 's even stupider than you thinking -- theresa : i said shut up ! melanie : get off me ! get off me ! melanie : you conniving little bitch ! theresa : you selfish , entitled , spoiled brat ! brady : okay , again ! again , this is happening ? i can hear you down the hall ! what did i just say to you , huh ? theresa : well , she -- she attacked me and i 'm supposed to just stand here and take it ? melanie : every word out of your mouth is a lie ! brady : get out of here now . get out , come on ! melanie : no , she 's the one that attacked -- no ! brady : no , go , go , go . just wait -- wait for me . melanie : brady ! brady : wait for me . thank you for taking our little talk to heart . theresa : how do you stand her ? she is a smug , judgmental little bitch ! brady : theresa , shut up ! listen to me , not one word of what i 'm gon na say to you gets said outside this room . melanie is set to come back to work here . i do n't need this whole damn hospital knowing about this crap that 's going on . theresa : yeah , well , i do n't need the whole world thinking that i thought i was pregnant when i was n't , and i especially do n't need that little smart - ass flinging it in my face ! brady : if you do n't want people knowing about things like that , then stop yelling about 'em ! theresa : you do n't care what really just happened here , do you ? brady : theresa , if you 're upset , i do n't give a damn about it right now , okay ? i do n't want this stuff coming back around to hurt melanie or daniel . theresa : i love how you always stick up for me , brady . brady : well , maybe if you ever gave me a reason -- theresa : no , hey , just stop . there 's the door . she 's waiting . melanie : no , i do n't care . i 'm not apologizing . she is a horrible person . brady : stop , not -- not here . come on , come with me . melanie : my -- let me -- brady : get your stuff . lucas : man , i have n't talked to him since the day before yesterday . great , no missed calls . nice . adrienne : which means he wanted to surprise you , and i just ruined it . lucas : he 's full of surprises lately , do n't worry about it . i 'll call his mom and i 'll see what 's going on . adrienne : say hi for me . lucas : yeah , i 'll do that . adrienne : [ sighs ] could you please help me get my foot out of my mouth ? sonny : what now ? adrienne : i just told lucas that will and ari are back in town , and he did n't know . was will gon na surprise lucas ? he just forgot . sonny : i do n't know , will 's just been really busy since he 's been back . adrienne : well , obviously . did you get a chance to tell him about the new club ? i know you wanted to talk to him . sonny : not yet . like i said , he 's been very busy , and ari 's still on california time , so i was up with her half the night , and i was fast asleep when will left this morning . adrienne : you were up with her half the night . sonny : mom -- adrienne : okay , i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry . i 'm sure things will settle down soon . sonny : i 'm sure they will . now , if you 'll excuse me , i have some work to do . adrienne : wait , sonny , i -- [ clears throat ] i want to tell you something . i finally tracked your father down , and we both agreed , if you need help , we 'd like to write you a check . just let us know how much . sonny : mom , that is really , really nice of you , but i 'm gon na handle it . adrienne : [ sighs ] so -- sonny , you are gon na tell will what 's going on , are n't you ? sonny : yeah . if i ever see him again . paul : come in , yeah . so you 're the writer from sonix ? the one who wrote about the dimeras ? will : one and the same . am i too early ? paul : no , no , not a problem , no , it 's just -- i was expecting room service . will : [ laughs ] paul : you just surprised me , that 's all . will : if you want , i can come back after you 've had some coffee . paul : no , it 's fine , have a seat . so that last piece that you wrote , the article that you wrote in sonix ? will : you read it ? paul : whew , it was awesome . that 's why i asked for you to write this one . will : you requested me specifically ? paul : they did n't tell you ? will : um , i 'm a little jetlagged , i 'm sure they did , and it just did n't register . paul : okay , full disclosure . i was surprised when i answered the door , but not because i was expecting room service , it was ... because i was n't expecting you to be so young . will : [ laughs ] well , there 's not much i can do about that . paul : no , i mean -- no , that article was awesome , it 's just -- you surprised me , that 's all . it 's -- it 's fine . will : well , i just -- i hope that you do n't come to regret asking for me . paul : i 'm sure i wo n't . adrienne : thanks . sonny : mm - hmm . lucas : hey . sonny : hey , lucas . adrienne : hi . sonny : your usual ? lucas : no , no , i 'm actually -- i 'm actually good right now . um , you do n't know will 's schedule by any chance , do you ? sonny : not really . but he 'll be calling you soon . lucas : well , do n't rush him , he probably needs a little time for that . it 's just his mom is a little worried , that 's all . sonny : sami ? lucas : yeah . sonny : why ? lucas : well , you know , he 's not returning her calls , and she knows how upset he is , so -- sonny : upset ? lucas : yeah , because he got replaced . i guess that 's how it works in hollywood , they do n't like the way you 're writing , and boom , they replace you with another writer . sonny : yeah . yeah , he said it was awful . it 's like high school with money . lucas : right . sonny : mm - hmm . lucas : yeah , i 'll bet it is . still , i think it 's for the best . that way , he can come home where he belongs , right ? he 'll work for sonix where they love him , and you know , if those producers had signed off on that draft , who knows how long he and ari would have been out there ? sonny : yeah , who knows ? paul : are you sure you do n't want anything ? will : oh , i 'm all right . is this gon na be okay ? paul : as long as it 's for your personal reference for the article . will : it is . so mr. narita -- paul : please , `` paul . `` will : okay , then , paul . my editor briefed me about the importance for confidentiality , discretion . paul : and did that register ? will : it did . paul : then we 're good . will : is now not a good time ? paul : no , it 's -- i was just thinking . i only made the deal with your editor last night . so i figured you 'd being doing a little bit more research for a while . will : [ laughs ] i will be , but i wanted to get to know you a bit myself before i read what other writers had to say . paul : that 's great . see , i been doing this for a while , and it seems like most writers , they already have a general idea of what they 're gon na write even before they ask me a single question . i do n't know , maybe that 's okay . maybe they know me more than i know myself . will : i doubt that . paul : you never know . will : ready ? paul : hello , i 'm paul narita , and i play baseball . will : [ laughs ] marlena : okay . nicole : all right , you win . you got me away from eric and whoever that was he was talking to . marlena : ask yourself this : why is it so important for you to know who eric was with ? serena : eric , why do n't you just tell me what it is you 're thinking ? or at least why you had that reaction when i said nicole 's name . eric : i wish i did n't have any kind of reaction to her -- her name , to what she did . i just wish she meant nothing . serena : we ca n't make ourselves not feel . we can bury the feelings , deny the feelings , but they 're always there . eric : i know , i 'm finding that out too , but you do n't know how much i wish i could put it all this behind me . it 's just that this anger , sometimes , i actually feel like it 's getting stronger . serena : because every day , you have to face what she took from you . i have to say -- and i sure as hell do n't claim to be perfect -- but i just do n't understand how she could have done what she did to you . how could she claim to love you and then keep you from being a priest ? eric : you do n't understand because that 's not something that you would do . serena , in a way , this mirrors what happened to us . when i realized what i needed to do ... you gave me up , but you gave me up willingly , because you understood . serena : `` willingly `` is a nice way of saying i did n't have a choice in the matter . eric : i broke your heart , and i know that . serena : i could n't have changed your mind . but somehow , this conversation has gotten to be about me . you were going to tell me , what does nicole have to do with us ? melanie : no , i 'm not sitting . brady : no , you 're going to sit down . melanie : no , i 'm not gon na sit -- listen , she attacked me . brady : we 're gon na talk , you 're gon na listen . melanie : she went off . i 'm gon na call the police . brady : you 're gon na sit down , i 'm gon na talk . i got you your job . melanie : what ? brady : you heard me . melanie : [ laughs ] thank you so much ! brady : you 're welcome . melanie : thank you ! brady : you 're welcome . you 're welcome . now , will you sit down and listen for a second , please ? have a seat . i did what i did to get you your job , but you have to make sure that you keep it , okay ? melanie : that 'll be easy . i 'm an awesome nurse . brady : yeah , that 's not the issue , melanie . the issue is , you ca n't go all american ninja warrior on people in that hospital when you get angry . melanie : she came at me . brady : totally unprovoked ? yeah , yeah , when walked by and i heard both of you screaming at each other , it really seemed like you were trying to smooth things over , melanie . what if it was somebody else that walked by and heard you screaming , huh ? a head nurse ? an administrator , maybe your dad ? melanie : okay . you 're right . you really think she 's not gon na blab about this ? brady : mm , i had a little talk with her . i think she got the message . melanie : yeah ? all right , well , i hope so . but you 're right , i do n't want my dad finding out about this , so ... i 'm not gon na -- i 'm not gon na lie to him , i just -- i think it would be better if -- if -- if it was n't brought up . brady : mm - hmm . you want me to keep my mouth shut , right ? melanie : uh , i - i just feel like he 's been through a lot of stress with the casino people -- and obviously , you have too , which is -- brady : mmm . all right , let -- i 'll make you a deal . i will not say anything about what happened today , never mention it again , but i have a condition . melanie : uh - ohh . brady : it 's not funny . i 'm serious about this . it 's about theresa . theresa : okay . yeah , okay . anne : [ sighs ] theresa : look , you are worthless . anne : [ sighs ] paul : so i was born in japan and i was raised in the bay area . will : you 're a giants fan . me too . paul : well , i had to be . my grandfather was their biggest fan ever . i mean , he was the one who got me hooked . he taught me his curve ball . [ chuckles ] he 'd spend hours coaching me . i - i think about him every time i step on the mound . will : well , so your love for the game started at a very early age . do you still love it ? paul : well , it 's done great things for my life ... mostly . will : right . i know the lengths you went to keep this surgery quiet . who have you spoken to about it ? paul : no one but my agent , my mother , and my grandfather . will : you did n't speak to any of your teammates ? was n't there another pitcher on your team ? um , dolan . dolan had the surgery back in 2011 . i would have thought it 'd be natural to talk to him about it . paul : i did n't want anyone to know . see , pitchers , we 're different . we tend to be loners . i mean , if you watch a game , you 're gon na see pitchers always sitting in the dugout alone . [ phone ringing ] paul : it 's my agent , i have to get back to him . will : absolutely , no problem . i have more than enough . i 'll get going on that research now . paul : so you think you have enough information on me to kind of know what kind of guy i am ? will : yeah , well , i 'll say this , you really seem to be truly comfortable with who you are . paul : well , it 's all an act . [ both laughing ] paul : it was nice meeting you . i look forward to working with you . will : you as well . sonny : sorry i was a little abrupt just now . lucas : no , that 's all right . you 've got a lot to deal with , a lot on your plate . sonny : mm - hmm . [ phone ringing ] sonny : here -- i got to take this . hello ? will : hey , good news , i wo n't be working late after all . are you still at the club ? i 'll be right there . sonny : no , no . where are you ? i 'll come to you . will : why ? i 'm just cutting through the park . sonny : stay right there . hey , something just came up . i got to go . it was good seeing you , lucas . lucas : all right , take care . you want to tell me what 's going on ? nicole : well , i have a question for you . do you always talk to people like you 're in one of your sessions ? i mean , in a few minutes , are you gon na tell me my time is up ? marlena : [ laughing ] no . no . but think about this ... why do you care who eric is with ? whether it 's a friend or somebody who 's more than a friend -- because the two of you are done . nicole : well , thank you for the reminder . only next time , can you try to keep the glee out of your voice ? marlena : no , please do n't misunderstand , i 'm -- look , i 'm not trying to gloat . the reason i invited you here was to help you . eric : it 's this vicious circle . i ca n't get over the anger i have towards nicole until i forgive her , and i just -- i just ca n't forgive her . and then i get angry at the person that i 've become . serena : you 're the same man , eric . eric : no , i 'm not . i used to be a forgiving person , but now , i just -- i feel stuck . i pray , but -- serena : so you 're saying you want to be a priest again , but you have to sort out your feelings for nicole first ? eric : serena , i ca n't deal with the fact that i ca n't be a priest again , because i have this core anger inside of me . serena : of course you do . after what they did to you ? and it was n't just nicole . kristen dimera set this whole nightmare in motion . you would n't be human if you were n't angry , eric . eric : no , it 's more than that . i ca n't make the world understand that it 's changed me . now , i see the world and the people in that world with -- serena : with what , eric ? eric : with hate . you ca n't be a priest when you hate . serena : you 've been screwed to the wall twice by some world - class bitches , and you think you 're just supposed to forgive and forget like francis of assisi , or something . eric : oh , my god , you 've always had a unique perspective . serena : do n't tell me i have a unique perspective . tell me i 'm right . eric : it 's -- serena : you 've got to ease up on yourself , eric . go to the gym , beat up on a heavy bag , but not yourself . eric : serena , i 'm not asking you to take me on as a cause . serena : well , i can if i want to . eric : no , you ca n't . i 'm all -- i 'm not telling you this to get your sympathy . i 'm trying to tell you that i 've lost all ability to love and trust anyone . it 's not fair to you . i mean , it is incredible to see you again . but this is my problem . i already hurt you once , and i ca n't bear the thought of doing that again . especially to you , you 're someone i -- you 're someone i really care about . theresa : do you have any idea the amount of pure , unadulterated grief that 's gone on in this room in the last hour ? first brady , and then that little munchkin , and then brady again , all because you said you could keep that bitch from working here . and you know what , it was n't even my idea , anne , and i 'm getting blamed for it ! anne : and you think this is a fine idea , turning on me , the only friend you have left in the world , theresa ? theresa : and now , not only do i have to work with that little nurse thing on a daily basis , but brady 's anointed himself her protector . yeah , she gets to play the damsel in distress , and i 'm the villain in this story . i mean -- and brady looked at me like he hated me . anne : he does hate you , but not because you were mean to the new nurse , but because you bashed his father 's head in with a fireplace poker and let brady think he did it . theresa : look , oh , my god , are we ever gon na move on from that ? look , the past is the past , anne . anne : you can not be surprised that melanie has issues with you ! my god , do you even remember what you put her father through ? theresa : whose side are you on ? anne : come on . theresa : obviously , not mine . no one is . no one is ever on my side . god . why do all these horrible things keep happening to me ? brady : theresa is , at best , complicated . melanie : yeah . a few other words come to mind , especially after abigail told me what she did to my dad , which was social work compared to what she did to you . brady : [ sighs ] you 're right , she has a long , long , bad history , but more importantly , this is what i want you to remember about her , she is a -- what 's the technical term ? whack job , melanie . listen , listen , she hates your father and jennifer for no reason . she literally made their lives hell , and they did n't do anything to her . now , you 're in her face right now . she does n't deal well with that . she does n't brood , she just takes action , aggressively . you 're on her radar , and it 's a bad , dangerous place to be . melanie : yeah , well , i can handle myself . but you 're right , i 'll be careful . but i 'm not gon na forget about what she did to my dad , and i am definitely not gon na forget about what she did to you . derrick : is everything okay ? paul : everything 's great , derrick . derrick : is there anything else i can do for you ? paul : no , i 'm -- i 'm good . derrick : okay . just call if you need anything . paul : grandfather ? [ speaking japanese ] will : hey , there you are . did something happen ? what 's wrong ? sonny : what 's wrong is you lied to me . you did n't come back 'cause you missed me . you came back 'cause you were fired . my name is daniel . i have diabetic nerve pain . theresa : it 's just -- it 's awful . it 's unbearable , anne . anne : [ sighs ] no , it is n't . come on , theresa , you do n't give a damn what these people think of you . you get a kick out of ticking people off . theresa : not everyone . it would n't be so bad if things were different with -- anne : with brady ? melanie : she lied to you about being pregnant , and that alone makes me want to strangle her . brady : i 'm not sure it was a lie . melanie : really ? she 's not pregnant , is she ? did she have a miscarriage maybe ? or was she trying to trap you into marrying her , at least getting some kind of payoff , which makes that a lie with a follow - up punch of extortion . brady : it could have been just a mistake . i think that she thought she was pregnant . melanie : no , man , no , i know that girl . i was that girl . just be glad she 's out of your life . adrienne : so sonny 's been totally under the gun with this new club and everything , and it 's just eating him up . lucas : how much cash did dimera put in ? adrienne : [ sighs ] i do n't know , but i saw chad , and he seems very confident that sonny can make it all work out , but -- mm . lucas : yeah , `` but . `` adrienne : mm , i should worry , right ? lucas : i like chad , i do , but lately , i 've heard some stories about him . adrienne : your mom 's his partner now , right ? lucas : yeah . yeah , and she 's not happy about it either . i mean , how long was chad gone ? and how long was he joined with stefano at the hip ? adrienne : so i should worry that he 's taking advantage of sonny . lucas : well , i would n't put it past anybody named dimera . adrienne : [ chuckles ] [ phone ringing ] lucas : oh , no . adrienne : not a fun text , i take it . lucas : no , no , not a fun text at all . it 's sami , and it 's all capitals , and multiple exclamation points , and it says , `` do not tell sonny that will was fired . `` only problem is , i already told him . adrienne : he acted like he knew . lucas : he must have been covering or something . i 'm dead . i 'm gon na catch hell for this . sonny : your dad talked to your mom . she told him everything that happened out there , so do n't even try and deny it . will : i 'm not denying anything . but sonny , it was humiliating . i 'm not exactly going around just telling everyone about it . sonny : i 'm not `` everyone . `` will : i know , i know . sonny , i wanted to wait until we actually had some -- some time to really sit down and talk about it . it was kind of awful . you know , i turned in three drafts , and with each draft , they 'd give me notes on what to change , and sometimes , these notes , they 'd contradict what they had already said . one thing they made clear is that it was never good enough . and then i find out they brought in this whole other writer as soon as i turned in my first draft , but they did n't tell me , they just kept stringing me along , 'cause of my mom . sonny : i 'm sorry . i really am . but i should have known what was going on out there , and i should have known why you came back . like i said , i 'm not everyone . i 'm your husband . will : you do n't have to remind me of that . sonny , i missed you like crazy . you know that . sonny : no , i do n't . marlena : i want you to know that it 's over between you and eric . and -- and if you try to bring it up again , yes , you 'll hurt eric , but you 'll hurt yourself even more , because dwelling on it , obsessing over it will keep you from moving on with your own life , and that 's unhealthy , that -- that 's -- it 's toxic . nicole : i am not obsessing , okay ? marlena : you need to stop doing it . nicole : i simply asked for a person 's name and i got 20 minutes of dr. phil . i want to live my life . i want eric to be happy , and he did n't look happy talking to that woman , so i 'm sorry . i will not ask you a question about eric again ever , okay ? marlena : okay . we have an understanding . nicole : thank you . know - it - all bitch . i do n't care about eric . i am not rebounding . and there is only one person who needs to know that . serena : you know , you were kind of a bad boy back in africa . eric : [ chuckles ] serena : but this person sitting in front of me , this good , decent person , that was in you then . and it 's who you are now . it 's who i fell in love with . except ... maybe -- and this is kind of hard to take -- you 're better looking now . how that 's even possible . eric : [ laughs ] serena : no need to say the same about me . eric : there 's no need to , because you already know that . serena : yeah , it 's true . [ both laughing ] serena : so my point here is , why shut the door on a possibility ? a possibility , eric . i did n't come here to get you back , i do n't even know if i want you , but i think it 's arrogant to say that we 're stuck where we were when you left . we could be friends . see what happens . i think we should go slowly . but go . if , that is , you 're open to at least trying . eric : you know how much i loved you . serena : and i - i get the whole trust thing . i understand that you ca n't trust anymore , and i think -- hope that can change . and that maybe one day , you can feel strongly again . eric : maybe i can . serena : i hope so . 'cause , eric , you 're worth the fight . brady : stop comparing yourself to theresa , okay ? melanie : yeah , well , it takes one to know one , so -- brady : let 's cut to the chase here , okay ? look , melanie , i need you to make me a promise . melanie : i already know what you 're gon na say , my dad made me promise him the same thing . theresa : were you even listening ? anne : oh . theresa : i was n't talking about brady . besides , i 've moved on . anne : with the baseball player ? huh ? the guy who checked out of here and did n't leave a forwarding address ? theresa : i 'll find him , anne , okay , things were going really well for us . listen , he is my ticket out of here , okay , out of this miserable life and this miserable job . anne : somehow , you maintain your sunny disposition . theresa : now -- and just to make matters worse , i have to deal with danny boy 's daughter each and every day . look , i 'll tell you this , anne , i am not looking for trouble . i 'll be happy to pretend that she does n't exist . melanie : i 'll steer clear of her . theresa : i promise . but if she starts something ... melanie : if she thinks she can get a piece of me -- theresa : she is going to be sorry ... both : really freaking sorry . paul : [ speaking japanese ] hi , mom . yeah , grandfather sounds great . is he good enough to travel ? it 'd be great if you both could make it out , you know , sometime around christmas . i 'll still be in town doing physical therapy . yeah , 'cause then it would n't be as lonely . sonny : how long were you gone , will ? and while you were gone , how many times did we talk on the phone ? three ? will : it 's not because i did n't miss you . i was busy . sonny : do n't i know it ? those three calls , that 's all you talked about , how busy you were , how amazing it was , the people you met and where you met them . you loved it , that was crystal clear . you loved it so much , i started thinking you were never gon na come back . will : that 's not fair . you know the only way that i could have stayed there is if you had come there to be with me . sonny : i told you that was n't happening . will : right , because of the club . i 'm sorry , `` clubs , `` plural . 'cause of your career . sonny : [ sighs ] so this is my fault ? i 'm not saying that . sonny , i just do n't know where this is coming from . and i know that if i had to make a choice -- sonny : but you did n't have to make a choice . that 's the thing , someone made it for you . that 's why you 're back . will : sonny . sonny : i have to get back to work . will : sonny ! nicole : hi , i 'd like to talk to dr. jonas . sorry , he went over to st. mary 's for a consult . nicole : oh . okay , thanks . both : oh ! nicole : oh , my gosh . serena : sorry . nicole : [ clears throat ]Summarize.[/INST]melanie and theresa ended up fighting when melanie thought theresa was lying about being pregnant with brady 's baby . brady had to break them up . paul requested will to write the article about him . paul did n't expect will to be so young . paul continued to stare at will as he sat in the room with him . nicole saw eric with serena and was n't happy about it . marlena saw nicole and wanted to take her somewhere so they could talk about what nicole saw . eric told serena about what happened with nicole . serena wanted to know where that left them .</s>

ian : with you as my muse , my story ca n't help but have a happy ending . phyllis : well , you know , there is a sky full of stars tonight , so i am gon na wish on one just to guarantee it . ian : you 're a dear person , phyllis . phyllis : well , i know a few people would disagree with you . ian : well , they 're wrong . i 'm blessed that you came into my life when you did . it 's perfect timing . phyllis : must have been in the stars . victor : send him in . hello , jack . what do you want ? jack : oh , i wondered if you had any news for me , say , about our old friend marco annicelli . victor : old friend marco annicelli . as far as i know , he 's still in prison . jack : he is . evidently , though , he has not been cut off from the rest of the world as you promised he would be . victor : what 's your point ? jack : we just got a message from marco delivered by marisa 's husband . victor : marisa 's husband ? jack : luca santori ? victor : he 's here in genoa city ? jack : he heard from marco where his long - lost wife was , which is kind of curious . but since he was supposed to be kept away from phones and computers , makes me think that maybe marco 's got somebody helping him work from inside the prison . victor : and you 're suggesting that is me ? jack : you denying it ? you know what ? never mind . why would you be honest with me about this when you 've been lying regarding what you know about paragon ? victor : jack , you 're not making sense anymore . jack : the other day , i asked you if you have any information regarding the paragon project . you looked me in the eye and you said you knew nothing , knowing full well that there had been an attempt to hack newman 's computer system . so what is the truth ? are you working with marco behind my back ? noah : wow , luca . your wife must be somebody very special if after all these years , you still have n't given up on her . luca : you would n't , either . but it 's not gon na be easy to win her back . something you 'll learn one day , noah -- women can be stubborn . noah : oh , yeah . luca : [ chuckles ] noah : but they can so be won over . you know , a little wine , candles , flowers . tends to put them in a more receptive mood . luca : noah , you 're a romantic . noah : look who 's back marisa : [ clears throat ] i , uh , i did n't expect to see you tonight . luca : i wanted to thank you for putting me in touch with my wife , although i was just telling noah things did n't turn out the way i 'd hoped . marisa : hmm . she , uh , she did n't tell you what you wanted to hear . luca : she could n't explain why she left me so abruptly . noah : sounds like she might be having second thoughts . luca : i agree , noah . in fact , i 'm certain deep down she wants me back . victoria : hey , ben . hey . do you have a minute ? stitch : yeah , what 's going on ? victoria : uh , you know , i 've just been thinking about you and just wondering if you 're okay . stitch : why would n't i be ? victoria : i mean , things ca n't really be easy at home with abby . stitch : is there something going on i should know about ? victoria : [ sighs ] have n't you noticed how completely consumed by work she is ? stitch : yeah , she 's putting a lot of hours in , but seems to be paying off . victoria : the success has completely gone to her head . she 's changed , ben . she 's ... i do n't know . she 's different . she used to be so happy and fun- loving , and now all she thinks about is her job and her career . and i 'm afraid if things keep going like this , that ... i 'm just afraid you 're gon na get your heart broken . abby : if i heard one more negative comment from victoria about chelsea 2.0 , my head was gon na explode . nick : is that why we 're meeting here ? abby : she sucks the life out of every room she enters . i ca n't be around her . nick : abby , i really hate it that you two are fighting . abby : i 'm not fighting . i 'm crushing it as coo and victoria 's just jealous . [ cell phone rings ] abby : [ sighs ] hmm . marketing . again . at least they 're excited about how well chelsea 's line 's doing . abby newman . sharon : nick . hey . you 're back already . i was gon na call you . nick : did you make a decision about treatment ? sharon : i did . i 've decided to take your advice and check myself into a facility tonight . nick : tonight ? dylan : sooner , the better , i guess . sharon : just time alone to regroup and get stronger is all i need nick : you sure ? you seem a little hesitant . sharon : am a little . nick : why ? what 's the problem ? dylan : well , there are a few facilities in the area , but there 's only one that can take her right away . sharon : fairview . stitch : i appreciate your concern , but abby and i are doing just fine . when we manage to have time , that is . victoria : which is n't too often since she got her promotion . stitch : this new project of hers , chelsea 2.0 , it 's taking up a lot of her time . victoria : too much of her time . and you might be the only one that can do something about that . stitch : now , why do i get the feeling there 's more to your visit than concern for me ? victoria : what do you mean ? stitch : abby told me how competitive things have gotten with you . maybe you 're hoping i distract her , make the competition a little less intense . victoria : i am not trying to sabotage my sister . i care about her . but she and newman enterprises are both gon na suffer if she does n't slow down . stitch : what do you want me to do about it ? victoria : i do n't know . take her on a vacation or something . look , i do n't know . i know you think that i 'm jealous of my sister , but i 'm not . i 'm very worried about her . sharon : i know what you 're gon na say about fairview . nick : it 's where faith was taken from you . sharon : faith was stolen from me , from us . nick : more disgusting things adam ever did . are you sure about going back there ? sharon : if i felt like i could wait for an opening at another hospital , i would . but i really feel like i need immediate in - patient care . nick : okay . if you 're sure about fairview , then okay . sharon : but i was thinking that maybe we do n't have to tell the kids about it because i do n't want them to worry . maybe you tell them i went away to a spa or something . nick : [ sighs ] look , i get it that you want to protect the kids , but i really think we should tell them the truth . dylan : yeah , nick 's right . lying 's never a good idea . there 's nothing worse than being lied to . noah : you know , luca , maybe you should speak to your wife in person . marisa : that 's a very good idea . noah : yeah . where is she ? marisa : new york . noah : new york . that 's -- that 's not too far . marisa : yeah , you , uh , could catch a flight out tonight . luca : this is a delicate matter . handling it correctly is important . noah : hey , look , what do i know ? but you know what ? showing up at her doorstep with some champagne , flowers , seems like the right move to me . luca : if my wife and i are gon na work things out , i want it to be her decision . that 's the only way i 'll know for sure if she wants to be with me . [ cell phone rings ] noah : sorry . it 's my dad . uh , i better take this . hey , dad , what 's up ? nick : hey , bud . uh , your mom and i are at crimson lights . could you come over here ? there 's something we need to talk to you about . noah : yeah , yeah , sure . everything okay ?

marisa : [ sighs ] luca : i mean , he seems like a nice guy , but he 's a boy . he 's got no charm , no style , obviously no bins . he serves drinks for a living . marisa : [ chuckles ] shows how much you know . noah actually comes from a very powerful family , and he 's a good n. smart , strong . and he 's honorable . luca : then what 's he doing with a low - rent piece of trash like you ? victor : since when have you become so paranoid ? jack : oh , i do n't know . maybe since you had me kidnapped and replaced by a murderous drug lord . victor : well , for your information , i 'm not in contact with annicelli . for all i know , he 's rotting in some prison . jack : call me a skeptic . i wish i had more than your word . victor : well , you do n't . jack : okay , let 's say for argument 's sake you 're telling me the truth . someone is helping marco . victor : i 'll look into it . jack : gee , i feel so much better knowing that . victor : i 'm much more concerned about marisa 's husband . luca what ? jack : santori . victor : luca santori . you mean from the santori family in spain ? jack : i did n't check out his family tree . victor : if annicelli sent him , that means trouble . jack : oh , you mean if he mentions to anne that you bribed an official in peru to get marco out of jail to bring him here to replace me ? victor : or if he mentions that you 're responsible for the death of 12 sailors and kelly andrews . jack : things i had to do to survive . victor : jack , let 's stop the b.s . you and i both committed crimes . jack : okay , if this luca knows anything about our connection with marco , he 's a threat to both of us . victor : that 's right . and he needs to be contained . phyllis : [ laughs ] [ sighs ] [ chuckles ] ian : uh , well , if i 'm gon na finish my book , i - i better get back to work . phyllis : oh , i 'm sorry . i have interrupted your creative process . ian : no , it was a great break . i enjoy spending time with you . phyllis : oh , me , too . and good luck with the rest of your book . ian : yeah , well , i 'm anxious to see how it turns out myself . phyllis : so am i . ian : [ chuckles ] phyllis : okay , see you soon . ian : yes , mon chéri . i look forward to it . phyllis : okay . bye - bye . ian : bye - bye . adam : what the hell was jack 's wife doing here ? noah : fairview ? mom , are you sure you want to go there ? nick : i hope you do n't think i was butting in by encouraging sharon to take this step . dylan : no , we all want what 's best for her . nick : then we 're on the same page ? dylan : yeah , makes me wonder why sharon would ask if i was okay with her going to fairview . nick : she 's scared . dylan : scared of what ? nick : that her bipolar disorder could be too much for you , that she could end up losing you . dylan : i told her that would never happen . sharon : do you understand now why i need to do this ? noah : you 're being proactive . sharon : yeah . you know , i have been under a lot of stress lately , and dylan has been great , but i really feel like i need professional help on this level . noah : does mariah know ? sharon : i tried calling her , but i got her voicemail . noah : i 'll explain everything to her . sharon : okay . dylan : it 's , uh , it 's time . they 're expecting us . noah : [ sighs ] take care , mom . sharon : i 'll be back before you know it , stronger and better than ever . noah : listen to me . hey . i 'm proud of you for facing your problems head - on , okay ? sharon : okay . marisa : you goaded me intentionally . luca : [ chuckles ] i wanted to see if i could still get to you . now i know . nothing 's changed . marisa : you 're wrong . i 've changed . i 've moved on , luca . from you and your family . luca : i was n't happy with the way they treated you . marisa : [ scoffs ] you could have stood up to them . have you ever stood up to them , luca ? did you ever tell your parents off the way you said you would ? luca : so much has happened since we last saw each other . but i do n't want to discuss it here . come back to my suite . we can talk over champagne and caviar . you did n't like my mother and father , but you loved the things the santori name could buy . if you want to know everything that has happened , if you want answers , i 'll give them to you . victor : i told you it was a mistake to let that girl stay in genoa city . jack : you ca n't blame marisa for this luca showing up in town . victor : she is nothing but trouble , jack . jack : she saved my life , and i owe her -- frankly , you owe her . victor : i owe her for what ? jack : if she had n't gotten me off that ship , you would be blamed for my death today . victor : that 's pure conjecture on your part . jack : okay , you ca n't deny that marco would still be a threat to both our families if it had n't been for marisa . victor : oh , my goodness . you make her sound like florence nightingale . jack : single - handedly she got him up to the cabin and held him there for us . victor : you know how she got him to the cabin ? with sex . she lured him into a trap . jack : and you have a problem with that be -- oh , that 's right . because she 's now dating your grandson . that 's what 's really bothering you here . she 's now sleeping with noah . victor : let me ask you a question . how would you feel if your son kyle was seduced by her ? that 's what i thought . jack : lay off marisa . let 's focus on getting her husband out of town . victor : you leave that to me . adam : have you lost your damn mind ? no one 's supposed to know you 're out of prison . ian : well , no one 's supposed to know you 're adam newman , but by my count , there 's three or four or a dozen -- adam : i have my situation under control , thank you very much . ian : so do i. phyllis has no idea who i am . she thinks i 'm a kindly widower who 's writing a book about his dear , departed wife . adam : really ? ian : yeah . adam : that 's sweet . that 's sweet . of course , that could all change with a click of a mouse . ian : all she knows is my name is fred . what kind of an internet search can she do with that ? adam : you do n't know phyllis . ian : oh , but i 'm getting to . and it 's refreshing , actually , to meet somebody who does n't know anything about my past . adam : here 's the thing . i 'm gon na talk slowly for you . uh , phyllis is n't just someone , okay ? ian : hmm . adam : phyllis is jack 's wife . that 's the last person you should be sitting around here having coffee with . ian : hey , you 're getting upset here now , adam . just breathe , all right ? follow the path of peace and tranquility . adam : just stop , okay , with the whole enlightenment thing . save that for your weak - minded followers . that 's not for me . ian : why are you here ? adam : i 'm here to finish our conversation about chelsea 's line at newman . ian : oh , yeah . sales are through the roof . she ought to be thrilled . adam : yeah . yeah , she 's thrilled because she has no idea that it 's not real . ian : sad , but true . and all thanks to the paragon project . adam : yeah . there 's gon na be a change of plans , okay ? i 'm not gon na let chelsea 's hopes and dreams just disappear like that , so i 'm taking her out of the equation . newman enterprises goes up in flames minus chelsea 's line . that 's the way it 's gon na be . ian : hmm . is that an order or a request ? adam : do it . ian : all right . i 'll spare your beloved 's business . i 'll work my magic ... since you asked me so nicely . adam : i appreciate that . ian : yeah . adam : thank you . and you can end this silly , little friendship you have with phyllis , too . ian : now you 're pushing it too far . adam : what if she finds out the truth ? what are you gon na do then ? ian : make her disappear . phyllis : after you gave me this and said all those sweet things about how much you love me , i could n't stop thinking about fred 's situation , how he lost his wife . he 's out there all alone in the woods grieving for her . so i went back to see him . jack : that 's nice . phyllis : you will never believe what he is doing . jack : hmm ? phyllis : he is writing a book , a love story about he and his wife . how romantic is that ? jack : yeah . phyllis : i just -- i do n't know . i think it is so good to work through his loss that way , you know , at the same time he 's recording the memories he shared with his wife . he 's getting it down on paper before they slip away from him . jack : uh - huh . phyllis : he also said that he wanted me to act out the steamier passages . he thought it 'd be real cathartic for him . jack : yeah , that would be good . uh -- wait , what -- what did you just say ? phyllis : [ gasps ] he does listen . jack : yeah , of course i 'm listening to you . you 're talking about your friend , fred . just strange i have n't met him . phyllis : i think you 'd like him . jack : why do n't we have him to dinner ? phyllis : i think that 's an excellent idea . adam : let 's just pump the brakes here for a second , all right ? you ca n't just make phyllis disappear if she becomes a problem . unfortunately , people will actually miss her . ian : it 's a joke , adam . you know what that is , do n't you ? adam : it 's murder you 're talking about , and it 's not exactly on my short list of party jokes . ian : no , no , i know . i mean , look what happened to that little girl you hit with your car . that was tragic . adam : you bring that up again and you 're gon na be the one that disappears . you understand me ? ian : will you relax ? nothing 's gon na happen to phyllis . adam : it better not . ian : it wo n't . she 's not gon na become a problem . adam : listen to me , you charlatan . whatever you do affects me . this is not a one - man show . ian : and vice versa . we 're in this together , you and me . all the way . abby : hi . stitch : hey . abby : hey . stitch : i ordered drinks , got you a mojito , extra mint . abby : oh . thank you . stitch : i am really looking forward to tonight . abby : [ chuckles ] actually , um , i have some bad news . it 's actually great news but bad news for our dinner plans . stitch : you 're ditching me . abby : i just found out the head of the biggest fashion house in europe is in town , and he wants to meet with me . stitch : well , that 's exciting . abby : yeah , yeah , he found out about my marketing plan for chelsea 2.0 , and , um , i do n't know , i guess i 'm kind of a rock star in the fashion world right now . monsieur le bec , he wants to talk about moving my business model into the european market . [ chuckles ] stitch : well , where 's the meeting ? abby : here in an hour , but i need time to prep . stitch : gotcha . abby : ben , no , i am so sorry . stitch : look , we can do dinner again sometime . abby : right . i 'll try not to be too late ? stitch : yeah , i 'll see you when you get home . miss newman ? abby : yes ? got a message for you at the front desk . your meeting 's been moved to suite 338 . abby : okay . thank you . mm - hmm . dr. anderson : i know this is n't your first day here at fairview , but if there 's anything you 'd like to ask ... sharon : no , i think i 'm good , dr . anderson . it does n't look like much has changed since i was last here . dr. anderson : you and i will have our first session in the morning . sharon : okay , i 'm anxious to get started . dr. anderson : we 'll work out a schedule that will include group therapy and relaxation classes . we can also discuss medication and anything else that 's on your mind . sharon : all right , sounds good . dr. anderson : kathy will help you get settled in , then you can come back and say goodbye . sharon : okay . i 'll be back . dylan : okay . sharon : okay . dylan : [ sighs ] dr. anderson : it was nice meeting you , dylan . if you have any questions or concerns ... dylan : actually , i do . nick : your mom 's doing the right thing going back to fairview . noah : okay . so why ca n't i stop worrying ? nick : because you care . and like me , you will never stop worrying about her . other than that , everything else is cool ? noah : things have been , um , okay with me . nick : hmm . how much of that is because of marisa ? noah : [ chuckles ] she might have something to do with it . nick : well , where is she ? i thought she was working tonight . noah : yeah , she was here when i left . uh ... it 's from marisa . e said she had to leave . luca : what should we drink to ? marisa : how about the truth ? luca : [ chuckles ] now you want honesty ? marisa : i 've never been dishonest with y . luca : you said you loved me . was that the truth ? marisa : and you said you would stand up to your father , give up your share of his fortune . did you ever do it ? luca : you 're the one to talk . marco annicelli made millions dealing drugs . marisa : but that 's not why i chose to be with him . luca : that 's something i never understood . how you could trade the comfortable life i gave you for one filled with lowlife thugs and crime . marisa : well , there 's so much you did n't understand . luca : you continue puzzle me . why would you choose to be with that naive bartender ? is the sex really that good ?

come away with me ? victoria : you do not seriously think that i 'm interested in getting back together with ben ? he 's with abby , and i 'm ... nick : do n't say billy . victoria : why not ? nick : because billy 's billy . victoria : look , i know he 's not perfect , but i love him . nick : yeah , it 's always like that in the beginning , and the he does something stupid or dangerous or both , and then he breaks your heart and i 'm gon na break his face . victoria : billy 's changed . nick : billy 's never gon na change . he 's irresponsible and unreliable and an abbott . victoria : why do you always have to be so negative ? why ca n't you just be happy for me , huh ? nick : you 're right . i 'm so happy for you . victoria : thank you . now , let 's get back to abby . nick : are we still doing that ? victoria : nick , she 's completely o of control . the other day she tried pitching some ideas to me about brash & sassy . now , it 's one thing for her to tank chelsea 's division with her unreasonable marketing strategies , but brash & sassy 's my baby , and she needs to stay away from it . nick : okay . victoria : okay ? she could tank one division after the other with this ego- driven concept of hers . nic you 're right . she could , unless somebody stops her . victoria : which is exactly what i 'm trying to do . nick : i 'm doing the same thing . i 'm just playing it a whole lot smarter than you are . dylan : i support sharon 's decision to check in here , and i just -- i want to make sure she 's getting the right treatment for her and the baby . dr. anderson : i understand your concerns , mr. mcavoy . i assure you sharon and your child are in good hands . dylan : i 'm probably being a little overprotective . a lot overprotective . but , you know , i 've waited a long time for this -- a family . and if anything happened to sharon or the baby ... i just need them to be okay . dr. anderson : i understand . they mean a lot to you . dylan : they mean everything . sharon : okay , i 'm all checked in . dylan : okay . dr. anderson : i 'll see you in the morning . sharon : thank you , dr . anderson . dylan : [ sighs ] you know , i could stay . i mean , they could put a cot in your room or i could actually sleep on the floor . sharon : dylan . dylan : i know , i know . i 'm just -- i 'm overprotective . you got pregnant , kicked it into high gear . can you imagine what i 'm gon na be like when the baby actually gets here ? sharon : amazing . dylan : [ sighs ] well , i should , uh , let you and the baby get some rest . sleep well , okay ? you , too . abby : europe ? that is very tempting . stitch : so let 's do it . abby : it 's so sudden . i need time . stitch : for what ? abby : to wrap my head around the idea . stitch : yeah ? well , maybe i can help with that . abby : how ? stitch : by giving you a preview of how we 'll spend all those nights in all those romantic cities . nick : you tell abby something and she does the exact opposite . you need to make her feel like you 're on her side so she listens to you . victoria : you 're manipulating her . nick : mnh . i like to think of it as more guiding her towards making a sound business decision . victoria : i never thought i would see the day . nick : what ? victoria : you 're taking a move out of dad 's playbook . marisa : i 'm meeting noah . victor : you think that 's wise ? marisa : i know you think it 's my fault that luca is in genoa city . victor : mm - hmm . now it 's your responsibility to make sure that he leaves town . the sooner , the better . marisa : i ca n't make him go . victor : you make him go the way you made marco go , all right ? i think you have motivation enough . you do n't want noah to find out about your secret life , now do you ? marisa : i want luca gone just as much as you do . victor : then do it . marisa : how ? victor : when we needed to get rid of marco , you came up with a way . marisa : are you suggesting that i ... victor : i 'm suggesting you use your assets . all of them . noah : hey , there you are . thought we were meeting on the deck . marisa ? you okay ? marisa : i 'm fine . phyllis : please say yes . ian : well , that 's a lovely offer . but i - i do n't think i can accept . you know , i have a deadline . phyllis : it 's one night , and jack would love to meet you . i 've told him so much about you . we both would be so disappointed if you say no . ian : well , how can i refuse such an offer ? phyllis : then you 'll come ? ian : i 'll be there . phyllis : i 'll see you then . it 's all set . he 's coming to the house tomorrow night for dinner . [ hums ] [ next_on ] phyllis : gabe 's got you freaking out ! jack : if i am freaking out , it 's for very good reason . phyllis : prove it . ian : revenge is like making love to a beautiful woman . if you 're simply trying to get it over with , why bother ? patty : hi ! sharon : patty ? patty : yeah .

<s>[INST] ian : with you as my muse , my story ca n't help but have a happy ending . phyllis : well , you know , there is a sky full of stars tonight , so i am gon na wish on one just to guarantee it . ian : you 're a dear person , phyllis . phyllis : well , i know a few people would disagree with you . ian : well , they 're wrong . i 'm blessed that you came into my life when you did . it 's perfect timing . phyllis : must have been in the stars . victor : send him in . hello , jack . what do you want ? jack : oh , i wondered if you had any news for me , say , about our old friend marco annicelli . victor : old friend marco annicelli . as far as i know , he 's still in prison . jack : he is . evidently , though , he has not been cut off from the rest of the world as you promised he would be . victor : what 's your point ? jack : we just got a message from marco delivered by marisa 's husband . victor : marisa 's husband ? jack : luca santori ? victor : he 's here in genoa city ? jack : he heard from marco where his long - lost wife was , which is kind of curious . but since he was supposed to be kept away from phones and computers , makes me think that maybe marco 's got somebody helping him work from inside the prison . victor : and you 're suggesting that is me ? jack : you denying it ? you know what ? never mind . why would you be honest with me about this when you 've been lying regarding what you know about paragon ? victor : jack , you 're not making sense anymore . jack : the other day , i asked you if you have any information regarding the paragon project . you looked me in the eye and you said you knew nothing , knowing full well that there had been an attempt to hack newman 's computer system . so what is the truth ? are you working with marco behind my back ? noah : wow , luca . your wife must be somebody very special if after all these years , you still have n't given up on her . luca : you would n't , either . but it 's not gon na be easy to win her back . something you 'll learn one day , noah -- women can be stubborn . noah : oh , yeah . luca : [ chuckles ] noah : but they can so be won over . you know , a little wine , candles , flowers . tends to put them in a more receptive mood . luca : noah , you 're a romantic . noah : look who 's back marisa : [ clears throat ] i , uh , i did n't expect to see you tonight . luca : i wanted to thank you for putting me in touch with my wife , although i was just telling noah things did n't turn out the way i 'd hoped . marisa : hmm . she , uh , she did n't tell you what you wanted to hear . luca : she could n't explain why she left me so abruptly . noah : sounds like she might be having second thoughts . luca : i agree , noah . in fact , i 'm certain deep down she wants me back . victoria : hey , ben . hey . do you have a minute ? stitch : yeah , what 's going on ? victoria : uh , you know , i 've just been thinking about you and just wondering if you 're okay . stitch : why would n't i be ? victoria : i mean , things ca n't really be easy at home with abby . stitch : is there something going on i should know about ? victoria : [ sighs ] have n't you noticed how completely consumed by work she is ? stitch : yeah , she 's putting a lot of hours in , but seems to be paying off . victoria : the success has completely gone to her head . she 's changed , ben . she 's ... i do n't know . she 's different . she used to be so happy and fun- loving , and now all she thinks about is her job and her career . and i 'm afraid if things keep going like this , that ... i 'm just afraid you 're gon na get your heart broken . abby : if i heard one more negative comment from victoria about chelsea 2.0 , my head was gon na explode . nick : is that why we 're meeting here ? abby : she sucks the life out of every room she enters . i ca n't be around her . nick : abby , i really hate it that you two are fighting . abby : i 'm not fighting . i 'm crushing it as coo and victoria 's just jealous . [ cell phone rings ] abby : [ sighs ] hmm . marketing . again . at least they 're excited about how well chelsea 's line 's doing . abby newman . sharon : nick . hey . you 're back already . i was gon na call you . nick : did you make a decision about treatment ? sharon : i did . i 've decided to take your advice and check myself into a facility tonight . nick : tonight ? dylan : sooner , the better , i guess . sharon : just time alone to regroup and get stronger is all i need nick : you sure ? you seem a little hesitant . sharon : am a little . nick : why ? what 's the problem ? dylan : well , there are a few facilities in the area , but there 's only one that can take her right away . sharon : fairview . stitch : i appreciate your concern , but abby and i are doing just fine . when we manage to have time , that is . victoria : which is n't too often since she got her promotion . stitch : this new project of hers , chelsea 2.0 , it 's taking up a lot of her time . victoria : too much of her time . and you might be the only one that can do something about that . stitch : now , why do i get the feeling there 's more to your visit than concern for me ? victoria : what do you mean ? stitch : abby told me how competitive things have gotten with you . maybe you 're hoping i distract her , make the competition a little less intense . victoria : i am not trying to sabotage my sister . i care about her . but she and newman enterprises are both gon na suffer if she does n't slow down . stitch : what do you want me to do about it ? victoria : i do n't know . take her on a vacation or something . look , i do n't know . i know you think that i 'm jealous of my sister , but i 'm not . i 'm very worried about her . sharon : i know what you 're gon na say about fairview . nick : it 's where faith was taken from you . sharon : faith was stolen from me , from us . nick : more disgusting things adam ever did . are you sure about going back there ? sharon : if i felt like i could wait for an opening at another hospital , i would . but i really feel like i need immediate in - patient care . nick : okay . if you 're sure about fairview , then okay . sharon : but i was thinking that maybe we do n't have to tell the kids about it because i do n't want them to worry . maybe you tell them i went away to a spa or something . nick : [ sighs ] look , i get it that you want to protect the kids , but i really think we should tell them the truth . dylan : yeah , nick 's right . lying 's never a good idea . there 's nothing worse than being lied to . noah : you know , luca , maybe you should speak to your wife in person . marisa : that 's a very good idea . noah : yeah . where is she ? marisa : new york . noah : new york . that 's -- that 's not too far . marisa : yeah , you , uh , could catch a flight out tonight . luca : this is a delicate matter . handling it correctly is important . noah : hey , look , what do i know ? but you know what ? showing up at her doorstep with some champagne , flowers , seems like the right move to me . luca : if my wife and i are gon na work things out , i want it to be her decision . that 's the only way i 'll know for sure if she wants to be with me . [ cell phone rings ] noah : sorry . it 's my dad . uh , i better take this . hey , dad , what 's up ? nick : hey , bud . uh , your mom and i are at crimson lights . could you come over here ? there 's something we need to talk to you about . noah : yeah , yeah , sure . everything okay ? nick : yeah , everything 's fine . there 's just something we need to tell you . noah : okay , i 'll be right there . uh , sorry . family meeting . can you hold the place down ? marisa : of course . noah : okay . luca , best of luck . marisa : you have to go . luca : i have n't finished my drink . marisa : i meant you have to leave genoa city . now . luca : i like it here . marisa : if you do n't go , people are gon na get hurt , and i do n't want it to be noah . luca : that 's sweet . marisa : i mean it ! i do n't want him involved in any of this . luca : you do n't honestly have feelings for him , do you ? marisa : [ sighs ] luca : i mean , he seems like a nice guy , but he 's a boy . he 's got no charm , no style , obviously no bins . he serves drinks for a living . marisa : [ chuckles ] shows how much you know . noah actually comes from a very powerful family , and he 's a good n. smart , strong . and he 's honorable . luca : then what 's he doing with a low - rent piece of trash like you ? victor : since when have you become so paranoid ? jack : oh , i do n't know . maybe since you had me kidnapped and replaced by a murderous drug lord . victor : well , for your information , i 'm not in contact with annicelli . for all i know , he 's rotting in some prison . jack : call me a skeptic . i wish i had more than your word . victor : well , you do n't . jack : okay , let 's say for argument 's sake you 're telling me the truth . someone is helping marco . victor : i 'll look into it . jack : gee , i feel so much better knowing that . victor : i 'm much more concerned about marisa 's husband . luca what ? jack : santori . victor : luca santori . you mean from the santori family in spain ? jack : i did n't check out his family tree . victor : if annicelli sent him , that means trouble . jack : oh , you mean if he mentions to anne that you bribed an official in peru to get marco out of jail to bring him here to replace me ? victor : or if he mentions that you 're responsible for the death of 12 sailors and kelly andrews . jack : things i had to do to survive . victor : jack , let 's stop the b.s . you and i both committed crimes . jack : okay , if this luca knows anything about our connection with marco , he 's a threat to both of us . victor : that 's right . and he needs to be contained . phyllis : [ laughs ] [ sighs ] [ chuckles ] ian : uh , well , if i 'm gon na finish my book , i - i better get back to work . phyllis : oh , i 'm sorry . i have interrupted your creative process . ian : no , it was a great break . i enjoy spending time with you . phyllis : oh , me , too . and good luck with the rest of your book . ian : yeah , well , i 'm anxious to see how it turns out myself . phyllis : so am i . ian : [ chuckles ] phyllis : okay , see you soon . ian : yes , mon chéri . i look forward to it . phyllis : okay . bye - bye . ian : bye - bye . adam : what the hell was jack 's wife doing here ? noah : fairview ? mom , are you sure you want to go there ? nick : i hope you do n't think i was butting in by encouraging sharon to take this step . dylan : no , we all want what 's best for her . nick : then we 're on the same page ? dylan : yeah , makes me wonder why sharon would ask if i was okay with her going to fairview . nick : she 's scared . dylan : scared of what ? nick : that her bipolar disorder could be too much for you , that she could end up losing you . dylan : i told her that would never happen . sharon : do you understand now why i need to do this ? noah : you 're being proactive . sharon : yeah . you know , i have been under a lot of stress lately , and dylan has been great , but i really feel like i need professional help on this level . noah : does mariah know ? sharon : i tried calling her , but i got her voicemail . noah : i 'll explain everything to her . sharon : okay . dylan : it 's , uh , it 's time . they 're expecting us . noah : [ sighs ] take care , mom . sharon : i 'll be back before you know it , stronger and better than ever . noah : listen to me . hey . i 'm proud of you for facing your problems head - on , okay ? sharon : okay . marisa : you goaded me intentionally . luca : [ chuckles ] i wanted to see if i could still get to you . now i know . nothing 's changed . marisa : you 're wrong . i 've changed . i 've moved on , luca . from you and your family . luca : i was n't happy with the way they treated you . marisa : [ scoffs ] you could have stood up to them . have you ever stood up to them , luca ? did you ever tell your parents off the way you said you would ? luca : so much has happened since we last saw each other . but i do n't want to discuss it here . come back to my suite . we can talk over champagne and caviar . you did n't like my mother and father , but you loved the things the santori name could buy . if you want to know everything that has happened , if you want answers , i 'll give them to you . victor : i told you it was a mistake to let that girl stay in genoa city . jack : you ca n't blame marisa for this luca showing up in town . victor : she is nothing but trouble , jack . jack : she saved my life , and i owe her -- frankly , you owe her . victor : i owe her for what ? jack : if she had n't gotten me off that ship , you would be blamed for my death today . victor : that 's pure conjecture on your part . jack : okay , you ca n't deny that marco would still be a threat to both our families if it had n't been for marisa . victor : oh , my goodness . you make her sound like florence nightingale . jack : single - handedly she got him up to the cabin and held him there for us . victor : you know how she got him to the cabin ? with sex . she lured him into a trap . jack : and you have a problem with that be -- oh , that 's right . because she 's now dating your grandson . that 's what 's really bothering you here . she 's now sleeping with noah . victor : let me ask you a question . how would you feel if your son kyle was seduced by her ? that 's what i thought . jack : lay off marisa . let 's focus on getting her husband out of town . victor : you leave that to me . adam : have you lost your damn mind ? no one 's supposed to know you 're out of prison . ian : well , no one 's supposed to know you 're adam newman , but by my count , there 's three or four or a dozen -- adam : i have my situation under control , thank you very much . ian : so do i. phyllis has no idea who i am . she thinks i 'm a kindly widower who 's writing a book about his dear , departed wife . adam : really ? ian : yeah . adam : that 's sweet . that 's sweet . of course , that could all change with a click of a mouse . ian : all she knows is my name is fred . what kind of an internet search can she do with that ? adam : you do n't know phyllis . ian : oh , but i 'm getting to . and it 's refreshing , actually , to meet somebody who does n't know anything about my past . adam : here 's the thing . i 'm gon na talk slowly for you . uh , phyllis is n't just someone , okay ? ian : hmm . adam : phyllis is jack 's wife . that 's the last person you should be sitting around here having coffee with . ian : hey , you 're getting upset here now , adam . just breathe , all right ? follow the path of peace and tranquility . adam : just stop , okay , with the whole enlightenment thing . save that for your weak - minded followers . that 's not for me . ian : why are you here ? adam : i 'm here to finish our conversation about chelsea 's line at newman . ian : oh , yeah . sales are through the roof . she ought to be thrilled . adam : yeah . yeah , she 's thrilled because she has no idea that it 's not real . ian : sad , but true . and all thanks to the paragon project . adam : yeah . there 's gon na be a change of plans , okay ? i 'm not gon na let chelsea 's hopes and dreams just disappear like that , so i 'm taking her out of the equation . newman enterprises goes up in flames minus chelsea 's line . that 's the way it 's gon na be . ian : hmm . is that an order or a request ? adam : do it . ian : all right . i 'll spare your beloved 's business . i 'll work my magic ... since you asked me so nicely . adam : i appreciate that . ian : yeah . adam : thank you . and you can end this silly , little friendship you have with phyllis , too . ian : now you 're pushing it too far . adam : what if she finds out the truth ? what are you gon na do then ? ian : make her disappear . phyllis : after you gave me this and said all those sweet things about how much you love me , i could n't stop thinking about fred 's situation , how he lost his wife . he 's out there all alone in the woods grieving for her . so i went back to see him . jack : that 's nice . phyllis : you will never believe what he is doing . jack : hmm ? phyllis : he is writing a book , a love story about he and his wife . how romantic is that ? jack : yeah . phyllis : i just -- i do n't know . i think it is so good to work through his loss that way , you know , at the same time he 's recording the memories he shared with his wife . he 's getting it down on paper before they slip away from him . jack : uh - huh . phyllis : he also said that he wanted me to act out the steamier passages . he thought it 'd be real cathartic for him . jack : yeah , that would be good . uh -- wait , what -- what did you just say ? phyllis : [ gasps ] he does listen . jack : yeah , of course i 'm listening to you . you 're talking about your friend , fred . just strange i have n't met him . phyllis : i think you 'd like him . jack : why do n't we have him to dinner ? phyllis : i think that 's an excellent idea . adam : let 's just pump the brakes here for a second , all right ? you ca n't just make phyllis disappear if she becomes a problem . unfortunately , people will actually miss her . ian : it 's a joke , adam . you know what that is , do n't you ? adam : it 's murder you 're talking about , and it 's not exactly on my short list of party jokes . ian : no , no , i know . i mean , look what happened to that little girl you hit with your car . that was tragic . adam : you bring that up again and you 're gon na be the one that disappears . you understand me ? ian : will you relax ? nothing 's gon na happen to phyllis . adam : it better not . ian : it wo n't . she 's not gon na become a problem . adam : listen to me , you charlatan . whatever you do affects me . this is not a one - man show . ian : and vice versa . we 're in this together , you and me . all the way . abby : hi . stitch : hey . abby : hey . stitch : i ordered drinks , got you a mojito , extra mint . abby : oh . thank you . stitch : i am really looking forward to tonight . abby : [ chuckles ] actually , um , i have some bad news . it 's actually great news but bad news for our dinner plans . stitch : you 're ditching me . abby : i just found out the head of the biggest fashion house in europe is in town , and he wants to meet with me . stitch : well , that 's exciting . abby : yeah , yeah , he found out about my marketing plan for chelsea 2.0 , and , um , i do n't know , i guess i 'm kind of a rock star in the fashion world right now . monsieur le bec , he wants to talk about moving my business model into the european market .

caroline tells rick that the ring is unique and beautiful . he says just like the woman who is wearing it . he ca n't begin to tell her how happy he is . and he vows that they wo n't drive each other crazy . he says he forgives her for all the schemes she pulled in the past to get them to this place . maya senses fc boutique is closing and says she wo n't stay any longer . wyatt does n't want to hurt her , but explains that they were commissioned for a piece and he thinks it is an engagement ring . hope can not tell her if rick went to his place or not . maya leaves and does go to rick 's . when he does n't answer , she finds a hidden key and lets herself in . liam shows up at the boutique and hope gives charlie permission to let him in . he 's not there to see the diamond . he wants to talk to hope . he says they have had so many chances . she says yes ; she has lost count . he says surely they have at least one more . he wants her to ditch wyatt . hope asks wyatt if she and liam might have a moment alone . wyatt tells charlie to watch liam like a goat . as they drink champagne in the back seat of the limo , rick asks caroline if she 's ever been up to big sur . he has a friend who has a ranch up there . caroline frowns that champagne and ranches do n't mix and she does n't exactly excel in roughing it . he assures her it not really a ranch . it has a lodge overlooking the ocean . in the end , she manages to convince him that she 'd like to start their life by just going home . rick carries caroline to his front door and wants to take her across the threshold to start their new life . both are giggling when they go inside and there stands a very somber maya . she says everything is all right but she needs to talk to rick . just about the time that she spots caroline 's ring , rick asks if this can wait until tomorrow .

[ both laugh ] rick : you know , i 've -- i 've forgiven you for that . it 's , um ... your sidekick , rafael ... uh , i do n't know about . i have n't decided . caroline : do n't blame raffi . he never could say no to me . and i 've never been that desperate before . it 's a terrible thing . the whole world is filled with people who want things that they 'll never have , but they ca n't stop wanting them . it just twists them all out of shape . and somehow i never understood that until i lost you . and as hard as it was , i think ... it actually did make me less selfish . rick : i believe that it did . caroline : you 'll remind me ... when i need it . i do n't want to forget ... now that i know i never have to be desperate again . maya : rick ? [ sighs ] hope : [ sighs ] sorry . they left me to close up . actually , i told them to . liam : so , what happens to this ? hope : it goes into the safe . we have ' round - the - clock security on it . it 's pretty overpowering , huh ? liam : yeah . i was glad to hear that the event went well . hope : i 've heard you be more sincere . liam : was n't easy for me , coming here . hope : i can appreciate that . liam : so , um , do you think -- do you think we could do this without -- hope : wyatt ? do you th - think you could give me and liam a minute ? wyatt : [ sighs ] charlie ? [ clears throat ] watch him like a goat . good . liam : so ... we 've let it all slip through our fingers how many times now ? [ chuckles dryly ] hope : i do n't know . i 've lost count . liam : and how many more chances you suppose we have ? got to be one . [ glasses clink ] rick : do you want to drive up the coast to big sur ? my friend , he -- he 's got this ranch up there . he 'll put us up . caroline : mnh . ranches and champagne do n't really mix . rick : [ chuckles ] it 's a beautiful lodge ! it overlooks the ocean . caroline : what is this `` sur , `` and why is it so big ? rick : what ? do you -- do you not want to go ? caroline : well , i just -- [ chuckles ] i do n't exactly excel at roughing it . rick : okay , it -- it 's called a ranch . it 's -- it 's not really a ranch . it just -- the sheep that are there are -- they 're just for decoration . caroline : okay , i -- i did n't pack any clothes . rick : mm . caroline : okay . i guess that 's not exactly a deterrent . [ chuckles ] rick : but something is . what is it ? caroline : it 's just that ... things have been so up and down and all over the place for us . you know , it 's either been a crisis or some big special occasion . it 's be really nice ... to just start a normal life together . it would be ... really nice ... to just go home . rick : [ sighs quietly ] derek ? we 'll be heading back to my place . maya : [ sighs shakily ] a ring could mean anything . he has to know . liam : i 've been , uh -- i 've been thinking a lot about us . i - i know you have , too . i think when you really love someone ... everything that they do becomes a sign for you to read . like , i know so much just from how you look at me or walk across the room or answer the phone -- at least , i think i do . [ chuckling ] it 's like -- it 's like when you 're a kid , and you start to realize that the same word can have two different meanings . hope : [ chuckles ] liam : it is possible for us to read each other wrong . god knows we 've done it before , and it 's been disastrous . hope : yes , it has . liam : i think that 's what 's happening now . i think we 're doing it again . and i wonder if we 're not so ... tired ... and defeated that we are willing to close the door on everything we 've ever been through together . hope : it 's true i am tired . and i do feel defeated , and ... i 'm hurt . liam : but , hope , when ... [ both sigh ] liam : [ chuckles ] when a man buys his fiancée or his wife flowers or something , it -- t - that 's a - a sign of love . it 's a sign of commitment . but when he does something for his ex - wife who lives an ocean away , whose world is so different that she 's going to bed when he 's waking up -- all that means is `` i honor what we had , and i wish you well . `` and that 's it . and , so , do you -- do you think that you kissing wyatt -- that there 's a message for me in there ? hope : i think that some of it was real feeling . liam : [ sighs heavily ] hope : and i think that wyatt was doing ... what men think that they 're expected to do to be taken seriously . liam : is that what you think i 'm doing ? hope : i think you 're -- you 're trying to fix what 's broken , and i - i get that . the problem is , is ... you are not the most reliable authority on what you 're going to be doing tomorrow or next week . you made this beautiful ... tribute video for steffy , and you told me that it 's because she asked for it , and it was ... a farewell . but the only thing that 's unambiguously obvious here ... is that steffy has a power over you that i will never have . liam : that is not true . hope : and she can access it whenever she wants to . liam : no . hope : we 've both seen it . liam : [ sighs ] hope : and , god help me ... i love you , liam . i love you so much . but it 's like you 're asking me to lay down on railroad tracks , promising me i 'll be fine . but i see the train coming , and you do n't . caroline : please , will you put me down ? you are gon na throw your back out . rick : throw my back out ? are you trying to hurt my ego ? [ both laugh ] caroline : fine . you can carry me over the threshold after we are married and after i redecorate . rick : all right . deal . [ both gasp ] caroline : [ laughs ] rick : will you get my keys for me ? caroline : yes , i 'll get your keys for you . rick : little to the right . oh , there they are ! you 've done this before , apparently ! caroline : [ laughing ] stop ! rick : [ sighs ] caroline : i did it ! [ laughs ] rick : maya ! maya : i - i did n't mean to startle you . rick : is everything okay ? maya : i need to talk to you . rick : uh , can this wait till tomorrow ? liam : so , is this you ... giving up ? hope : maybe . giving up on something . liam : that 's unlike you . hope : no , what 's -- what 's like me is to ... lose myself in wondering what you 're thinking , what you 're feeling . are you going to leave me tomorrow or not ? but , truthfully , the only person that i really know and can trust is myself . i need to give up thinking that this relationship ... is a disaster that needs to be averted . liam : [ chuckles ] well , yeah , i agree . except i do n't think there is any disaster except for the one that you 're creating . hope : is that what you think i 'm doing ? liam : i think you 're scared . and i understand that . but i also think that you 're letting the past hold us hostage , 'cause this is not then . this is a day that we 've never lived before . and while it 's true that steffy may always be something to me ... she 'll never be my wife again . hope : [ chuckles dryly ] it 's funny -- that 's what she said to me the day that she gifted you to me . liam : that 's what i 'm saying now . hope : the problem is the past is n't the past if it keeps repeating itself . liam : hope , if the past is repeating itself ... why am i here ? hope : i do n't know ! liam : yeah , you do . they lied to us , you know . hope : mm - hmm . liam : they misled us . they forced us to walk through this ... minefield of sadness and misunderstanding . they made up futures for us that we did n't choose for ourselves , and they tried to tear us apart and into lives that were more suited for them . but we always got through it . we were always stronger than that . and now the only thing standing in our way is our own -- our own lack of faith . i think this road has been so long and so hard that you are terrified that it 's never gon na end , and you 're wrong . everything that we 've ever wanted -- it 's here . it 's here now . we just have to choose it . we have to take it . this is yours . this ... is yours . you only have to claim it .Summarize.[/INST]caroline tells rick that the ring is unique and beautiful . he says just like the woman who is wearing it . he ca n't begin to tell her how happy he is . and he vows that they wo n't drive each other crazy . he says he forgives her for all the schemes she pulled in the past to get them to this place . maya senses fc boutique is closing and says she wo n't stay any longer . wyatt does n't want to hurt her , but explains that they were commissioned for a piece and he thinks it is an engagement ring . hope can not tell her if rick went to his place or not . maya leaves and does go to rick 's . when he does n't answer , she finds a hidden key and lets herself in . liam shows up at the boutique and hope gives charlie permission to let him in . he 's not there to see the diamond . he wants to talk to hope . he says they have had so many chances . she says yes ; she has lost count . he says surely they have at least one more . he wants her to ditch wyatt . hope asks wyatt if she and liam might have a moment alone . wyatt tells charlie to watch liam like a goat . as they drink champagne in the back seat of the limo , rick asks caroline if she 's ever been up to big sur . he has a friend who has a ranch up there . caroline frowns that champagne and ranches do n't mix and she does n't exactly excel in roughing it . he assures her it not really a ranch . it has a lodge overlooking the ocean . in the end , she manages to convince him that she 'd like to start their life by just going home . rick carries caroline to his front door and wants to take her across the threshold to start their new life . both are giggling when they go inside and there stands a very somber maya . she says everything is all right but she needs to talk to rick . just about the time that she spots caroline 's ring , rick asks if this can wait until tomorrow .</s>

sam : you know , sometimes when i look at abby 's situation , it kind of reminds me of the person i was before i met you . just how i had to do whatever i had to do to survive , and that 's what she 's going through and i totally understand that . and then this amazing guy comes along . and you were the last thing i ever expected . i 'm serious . i know how important it is to have somebody who 's patient and kind to lean on when you think your whole world 's falling apart . [ scene_break ] lulu : being a cop is who you are . you 're not going to resign . dante : i made my own brother confess to killing claudia because it was the right thing to do . if that 's so right , why did n't i come forward after brenda killed aleksander ? lulu : because you were protecting her . dante : well then maybe i need to protect my brother instead . it makes me sick to think about what he 's had to go through . he lost his innocence and his freedom because of a choice that i made . i do n't deserve to have that badge or anything else i care about , including you . [ scene_break ] [ door closes ] sonny : brenda ? carly : i 'm sorry to disappoint you . i 'm kinda glad she 's not here , because i need to talk to you . sonny : okay , i 'm not jason . i 'm not going to let you just walk in here whenever you feel like it . carly : this ca n't wait , sonny . sonny : okay , i 'm not interested in what you have to say , because , look , brenda already told me you 're threatening to ruin the wedding . and i do n't know how many times i got ta tell you -- carly : okay , look , this has nothing to do with brenda . this is about our son . michael was raped in prison . [ scene_break ] nikolas : so it 's not too late to change your mind . a real date was never part of the agreement . brook lynn : well , i am having second thoughts . but only about my shoes . because apparently they were not made for walking . so i apologize in advance if i seem distracted . i 'm just trying not to fall on my face . nikolas : well , fortunately gambling requires very little walking . brook lynn : yeah . nikolas : so you 're okay . brook lynn : oh , especially in an abandoned casino . nikolas : yeah , right . hey , closed for a private party , or what ? maya : closed indefinitely . ethan : no , just until luke gets back . maya : like i said . ethan : then we 'll be having a grand reopening with all the booze and blackjack you can handle . nikolas : if you 're not out of business before then . brook lynn : yeah , he 's right . i mean , luke is not going to be in a hurry to come home and face tracy 's wrath . maya : i tried telling him that . brook lynn : you should listen , because it could be months . ethan : i happen to have faith . i 'm quite confident luke will return very shortly . maya : god , not that ethan has any way of knowing . his hope is solely based on the fact that these arrived today . brook lynn : what , wine ? ethan : oh , no , no , no . a very , very expensive case of wine shipped from france addressed to a `` spanky buns spencer `` . now i doubt luke is going to want to leave prime booze laying around . he 'll want to imbibe . brook lynn : hi . luke sent you a gift . tracy : if it 's anything other than a box of tissues and a bag of cough drops , i do n't want it . ethan : tracy , it 's a peace offering . luke 's trying to make things right . tracy : luke never does anything from the goodness of his heart . there has to be a catch . [ scene_break ] lucky : do n't make this harder than it has to be . siobhan : if you really were concerned with my well - being , i would n't be wearing handcuffs , now would i ? lucky : you broke the law , siobhan . siobhan : this is about payback , is n't it ? lucky : no . siobhan : we got close and i got scared . you said you understood , but clearly that was a lie . lucky : passing information onto his people . siobhan : you do n't know that ! lucky : that makes you a party to kidnapping and god knows what else . siobhan : you got no proof . lucky : yeah , well , i have 48 hours to come up with some . until then , you 're going to be sitting in lock - up . now let 's go . [ scene_break ] shawn : lucky spencer just arrested siobhan mckenna . theo : on what charges ? shawn : conspiracy to commit kidnapping . theo : that 's not entirely unexpected . at least now i know siobhan did n't double cross me . she may be of use after all . [ scene_break ] dante : you know , i like to think of myself as a really good guy who would jump in front of a bus if it meant saving his family , when all i ever really do is hurt them . lulu : you were helping michael . you were protecting him from sonny and the family business just like your mom did with you . dante : no , actually i was trying to make sonny accountable ; make him pay for all the awful things he 's done , and i completely lost sight of what that would mean for michael . lulu : okay , that 's not how it happened . you were acting out of love and concern , which is why i stood by you . you had michael 's best interests at heart and you made a difficult decision so that he would grow up to be a better man than his father . dante : well , sonny admitted to a crime that he did n't commit so his son would n't see the inside of a cell . and i got him sentenced to 5 years . who 's the better man ? [ scene_break ] sam : wait a minute . i do n't want to make a beautiful moment awkward , but has spinelli been acting ... strange ? jason : you 'd have to define strange , because we are talking about spinelli . sam : okay , you 're right . we are talking about strange spinelli . remember that pamphlet that i got from dr. lee about fertility reconstruction ? well , i actually left it on the desk underneath a couple of the case files that we have and spinelli found it and he automatically assumed that we were trying . and i tried to tell him that we were n't trying to have a baby , but he would n't really listen to me . he got really excited about it and he even offered up his room as a nursery . and ... well , if he happens to mention it , i am sorry . jason : no , i know how spinelli gets . sam : yeah . me , too . i think maybe this thing that he 's doing with diane , the book , it 's good . it 's going to distract his overactive mind . or maybe not . maybe he just needs a hobby or something . jason : you know , if you 're thinking about having this procedure ... sam : i 'm not . [ knock on door ] jason : okay , i 'm just saying ... michael : hey , do you have a minute ? i need to talk to you about something . hey . look , i 'd come back later but it 's really important . [ scene_break ] carly : he did n't want to admit it . he thought it would be easier on us if we did n't know . it 's michael , you know . he 'd rather carry the pain around himself than admit to us he was attacked . sonny : who was it ? carly : that does n't matter . sonny : it matters to me . because i 'm going to put a bullet in the son of a bitch 's head . carly : jason already killed him . in prison . sonny : carter ? how long has jason known ? carly : michael did n't admit this to anybody until last night . i do n't know if he ever would if abby had n't been attacked . michael found abby last night in an alley , and her ex - boyfriend had beaten her up and he was trying to rape her . and i guess the whole situation just ... i do n't know . michael went straight to jason and he told him everything . sonny : i just , you know , everything that my son has been through because of me is just not right . carly : because of you ? if you want to blame anyone , then you point the finger at your first born . because if it were n't for dante , michael would n't be in prison to begin with . [ scene_break ] tracy : even on our honeymoon , luke had an agenda . instead of walking hand in hand down the charles bridge , luke dragged me all over prague for a jewel heist . ethan : some would call that multitasking . tracy : someone would call this a bribe . and if luke thinks wine is going to get me to have a change of heart , he 's sorely mistaken . ethan : okay , let 's not be hasty . there are $ 2,000 bottles of wine . nikolas : it 's actually three . 3,000 . ethan : regardless of the price , this is not a bribe . tracy : that 's easy for you to say . it 's not your money . ethan : luke has no need to bribe you , okay ? he 's already made other arrangements to move the jewels . tracy : how would you know that ? ethan : luke contacted maxie about signing for a high - end shipment of costume jewelry , okay . he said it was some big business venture , so i convinced her to go along with the plan . nikolas : sounds like luke . brook lynn : well , wait a minute . if something goes wrong , then maxie is responsible for the smuggling . ethan : no , see , that 's the beauty of the plan . all maxie has to do is sign for a shipment , which is something she does countless times a day . so if customs closes in , there is no way to prove that she had prior knowledge of what the shipment actually contained . maya : okay , how long have you had prior knowledge ? i 'm saying a heads up would have been nice . ethan : there are certain unspoken rules when a con is in progress . one of which i just broke to pave the way for a reconciliation . so i do hope you 're not too hard on luke when he gets back . tracy : i know my husband all too well , and he can smuggle . just as long as he does n't use me as his mule . pardon me . brook lynn : ooh . she took that well . ethan : yeah , too well . [ scene_break ] siobhan : i was a fool to think that i could trust you . i thought you actually wanted to help ! lucky : calm down . siobhan : do n't tell me to calm down ! i risked my sister 's life , not to mention my -- lucky : siobhan . you can calm down now . siobhan : yeah ? lucky : yeah , come here . that was perfect . siobhan : good . lucky : here are the keys . you were spot on . siobhan : well , it 's not that hard to pretend that i 'm angry with you . lucky : i thought you were going to deck me for a second , there . siobhan : well , the thought crossed my mind . lucky : did it ? siobhan : yeah . it was fun . lucky : yeah , well , it buys us a little bit of time . you know , the balkan has eyes and ears everywhere so it should n't take him too long to figure out that we 're not working together . i 'd say this gives us roughly 48 hours to find your sister . siobhan : find her how ? the balkan could be holding megan anywhere . lucky : think back to the phone calls , okay ? every time they let you speak to her , did she say anything ? give you any clues to where she might be ? siobhan : no . lucky : no ? did you hear anything in the background ? did it sound like she was near water or a train station ? siobhan : mostly megan was just begging for help . she sounded so scared . what if we find her and it 's already too late ? lucky : yeah . mr. hoffman . i 'm interrogating a suspect here . theo : who happens to be my client . lucky : siobhan did n't request an attorney . theo : i was here on another matter but that will have to wait . miss mckenna clearly needs my help . [ scene_break ] sam : is abby all right ? michael : yeah , yeah , abby 's fine . i got her a room at the metro court so she can recover and not worry about cooking of anything like that . sam : well , that was very thoughtful of you . michael : thanks . i did n't like the idea of her staying in her apartment by herself . i know brandon 's in jail , but i got a feeling she 'd be safer , or she 'll feel safer if people were around her . sam : yeah , i 'm sure . i 'm sure she definitely appreciates that . that 's nice . well , i have to go to work . 'cause that 's what i do best . i will see you later . see you later , michael . michael : i 'll see you . [ door closes ] michael : did you tell sam ? about what happened ? jason : no , if you want to tell sam what happened , that 's up to you . i 'm not going to say anything . michael : thank you . i just do n't want people to start acting weird or feeling sorry for me . it 's over . jason : what about counseling ? are you going to go through with it ? michael : yeah , i 'm going to make an appointment . jason : okay , that 's good . michael : i do n't like the idea of this therapy thing , but i promised you and mom , so i 'm going to go . jason : okay , do n't do it for me or your mother . you got ta do it for yourself or it 's not going to help . michael : i 'll do the work . [ sighs ] i need you to promise me something , though . no matter what happens , you ca n't tell my dad what happened to me . [ scene_break ] carly : michael has suffered unspeakable pain all because dante had to take the moral high ground . meanwhile he had no problem burying a body for brenda . sonny : dante did n't know that michael was going to be sent to prison . carly : that does n't change what happened to michael or the fact he 's going to be carrying this around for the rest of his life . sonny : all right , you 're angry , i 'm angry , too . but taking it out on dante is not going to help michael through this . carly : he 's agreed to go to counseling . that 's why i 'm here . he needs your support . sonny : you know i 'll be there for whatever he needs . i 'm there . carly : then please do n't marry brenda right now . sonny : i do n't want to talk about this right now . look , i love brenda , i 'm going to marry her , that 's that . carly : all the love in the world is n't going to stop her from hurting you . sonny : okay , i 'm not listening to you right now . carly : you 're not listening , okay . sonny : 'cause i just ca n't . carly : okay , well , you know what , you need to listen to this , though . because every time you get hurt , you go to that dark , ugly place and it takes everything jason and i have to pull you out . only this time , we wo n't be able to . see , all of our energy is going to be focused on michael and getting him out of the hell he 's been living . and michael does n't just need jason and me , he needs his father . so , you know , right now would be a really bad time for brenda to push you into a breakdown . [ scene_break ] brenda : oh . hey . you 're awake . sonny : hey . where 'd you go ? brenda : uh ... i just went to the bakery with max . 'cause i guess he and his people test wedding cakes . so we 're supposed to make a decision about our wedding cake tonight . are you okay ? sonny : carly was here . brenda : of course she was . sonny : [ sighs ] she wanted to talk to me about michael . he 's going through a rough time right now . brenda : is there something i can do ? sonny : show me the option of cakes . [ exhales ] brenda : there 's chocolate and double chocolate . sonny : mmm . brenda : and dark chocolate . chocolate mint chip . sonny : yeah . [ scene_break ] michael : look , dad is a powerful man who got where he is by not showing his weakness . if he were to find out that i was n't strong enough to fight off carter ... i 'll never get his respect . jason : you got nothing to be ashamed of . michael : i do n't want dad to know . jason : i mean , you got ta do what feels right to you , but sonny , i 'm going to tell you , nobody thinks that you 're weak . look what you did for your mom when josslyn was born . and morgan and kristina after the bus crash . it does n't get much braver than that . [ pounding on door ] jason : hi . carol : yeah . jason : brenda 's not here . carol : yeah , well , her wedding dress is , which is no small feat considering the absurd amount of time i was given to pull this wedding together . and the fact that brenda has a dress , let alone a custom made one , is a miracle in and of itself . jason : all right , i 'll let her know . carol : oh , no , no . i had to call in several favors to make this dress happen . i 'm not just going to hand it to you . jason : i do n't know when brenda 's going to be back . carol : then i 'll leave it in her room . [ door closes ] jason : sorry . brenda drives me crazy when she 's not here . michael : well , she makes dad happy . that 's what matters , right ? michael : this wedding 's a big deal for kristina and molly . so putting up with this whole thing is like a present to them . carol : okay , so tell brenda that she needs to make a decision about the cake by tonight . if we wait until tomorrow morning to place -- jason : brenda has a phone . you can call and tell her yourself . carol : yeah , i 've tried , einstein . she 's not answering . jason : i know . try leaving a message . [ carol muttering ] [ door closes ] michael : thanks for hearing me out . jason : whoa , you know what , i just think your dad will want to know . maybe help you out . michael : you said this was my decision . jason : it is your decision . michael : i do n't want to tell him , let 's leave it at that . jason : i ca n't . [ scene_break ] lulu : okay , things are always easier when they 're black and white . but life has a lot of gray . this balkan situation is one of them . right now you 're on the same side as jason but it does n't mean that you support his business or that you 're a bad cop . dante : that 's exactly what it means . lulu : you know , i would be more worried if you were n't second guessing your decisions , because people who think that they 're right all the time are usually making the wrong decisions . dante : it 's my decisions that are the problem . lulu : i do n't know , dante , you 're getting upset about things that are out of your control . the judge should have never sent michael to prison . it 's not fair . i know that you 're pissed about it , but giving up is not the right answer . dante : well , sometimes it is . i mean , that 's what 's happening with us , right ?

[ chuckles ] good to see you , baby . ethan : you know , marriage is all about trust and understanding . you should take notes . luke : this calls for a celebration . where 's the wine ? ethan : it 's safe in the back . luke : good . i 'll take this and store it with the others , then we 'll crack open a few bottles and have a toast . tracy : do n't bother looking for the jewels . i already found them . looking for these ? brook lynn : what happened to the other deal where maxie was going to sign for the costume jewelry ? ethan : that was our decoy . luke : that was really nicely done , spank . i love it when you hold my jewels . now hand then over . tracy : not a chance . i 'm going to consider them a down payment on the $ 10 million you still owe me . luke : hey , they are worth a hell of a lot more than 10 million . tracy : good to know . because i 'm going to add to it all the money you 've pilfered over the years , the pain and suffering , and i think we 'll call it even . which means that you and i get to start our marriage off on equal footing . ooh , that must be so liberating for you . luke : i went to a hell of a lot of trouble to get my hands on those . and i 've had my eye on them for months . tracy : i 'm thrilled , because they 're mine ! all mine ! mac : tracy quartermaine , you 're under arrest . for jewel smuggling .

[ scene_break ] thomas : so dad wanted some private time with his new bride , huh ? brooke : yes . thomas : well , we both know why . another one of his famous romantic evenings . champagne , candlelight , soft music . with any luck , nine months from now , hello , baby forrester . [ scene_break ] caroline : everything okay ? you seem very serious . ridge : uh , i want to talk to you ... about paris . caroline : paris ? ridge : yeah . when i was living abroad , i was at a crossroads in my life , and i had to make a decision about my future . i already had a family . steffy and thomas were doing great , and rj was growing up to be a fine young man , so i , um ... the idea of having another family just never really entered my mind , and -- and when it did , it just seemed like a lot of work . and -- and then you showed up in my life , all perfect and beautiful and loving and giving . and -- and if i had known that you were coming , i ... but i did n't -- i did n't know . so i took the steps to make sure i would never have children again . caroline : uh , what -- steps ? wait . what steps did you ... ridge : i had a vasectomy . caroline : what ? ridge : so when i said i could n't give you kids , i meant that i - i - i could n't . and i let you go , because i - i did n't want you to be deprived of the joy of motherhood . but then i talked to you on the phone , and you were sad and crying out there on your own with no one to lean on , and -- and ... i realized that if i lost you , i would be lost , too . so i decided that day that i would go and just have the vasectomy reversed . and if you want to have a kid , we 'll have a kid . you want 10 kids , we 'll have 10 kids . i went to the doctor 's office , and he ran tests , and -- and ... and i have this ... condition ... where ... where nothing is viable . and what i 'm ... i 'm saying is , i 'm sorry , caroline , but i ... i ca n't be the father to your kid .
caroline tells her doctor that she can not leave here today until she knows who the father is . there must be some test . ridge also tells brooke that he 's had tests and he could have a thousand more and it will not change things . brooke again advises him to tell caroline . he says caroline has wanted this for so long and now he finds out he is sterile and it is not possible so he can not tell her now . thomas asks steffy if she had had second thoughts in letting ivy go if she is not that pleased with quinn 's designs . wyatt kisses ivy and tells her he is going to work from home today as he can not go in and see that smug face of liam . and now his dad has shot down his own fashion house . ivy tells wyatt that she has as much right to be at fc as steffy so she will not stand for this . quinn walks in and wonders if they are plotting a way to get her back into fc . ivy says they are not plotting but she is going to see steffy and talk to her again . wyatt has done all he can and quinn thinks they are being awfully cryptic . the doctor tells caroline there is no test immediately to give her the answer but she 'd like to find out more about this period that caroline had around the time she had sex with the other guy and is wondering if he could be the father . the doctor says based on everything she has said she has no doubts this is her husband 's child and she sees no problems . they will get her started on vitamins right away . caroline is optimistically happy and ca n't wait to tell ridge .
<s>[INST] caroline : is it possible ? please tell me . doctor : that you 're carrying another man 's child ? caroline : it was just -- it was one night , and it was a mistake . please , is there , like , a test ? is there any way to know , anything ? i ca n't leave here without knowing who the father is . [ scene_break ] brooke : maybe you should see a fertility expert . i know you have complete faith in your urologist , but still ... ridge : he ran the tests numerous times . he can run it a thousand times . it makes no difference . the result 's the same . i 'm ... sterile . i married caroline 'cause i want to give her a baby , and now ... brooke : caroline loves you no matter what . okay , yes , maybe she 'll be a little disappointed , but she 'll come around in the end . but first you have to tell her about the vasectomy and why you kept it from her . you ca n't hold anything back . [ scene_break ] steffy : have you seen quinn ? her designs -- they 're all wrong . thomas : what 's wrong with them ? steffy : well , for starters , they 're nothing like she pitched . thomas : you mean like ivy and she pitched . steff , are you having second thoughts about letting ivy go ? [ scene_break ] ivy : [ chuckles ] [ groans ] okay , i should probably get going . wyatt : no , are you out of your mind , woman ? no , you just got here . ivy : oh , okay . wyatt : no . mnh - mnh . ivy : it 's just ... wyatt : mnh - mnh . ivy : i do n't want to interrupt your work . wyatt : no . what work ? i have been staring at a computer screen for the better part of today . ivy : why ? you ca n't concentrate ? wyatt : i mean , i figured it 'd be easier working from home and not have to go in the office and see liam 's smug face , but ... i just wish dad had n't shot down my fashion - house idea . ivy : hey , he did n't want to pit brother against brother . look , i understand that , and i do n't like saying it , but i respect your dad for it . and i love you for trying , so thanks . wyatt : you know what ? so what if -- if you 're not at forrester ? another fashion house is gon na snap you up like that . ivy : wyatt , it 's just -- it 's frustrating . it 's frustrating ! if steffy just had n't have fired me -- which , by the way , i do n't really understand . i mean , no , i should n't have used that video , but i deleted it ! wyatt : i know . ivy : i deleted it . and then she has me escorted out of the building . that was humiliating . it was so wrong . wyatt : so wrong . ivy : forrester creations is my family business , too . i wo n't be kept away . steffy ca n't get away with this . wyatt : [ chuckling ] whoa , whoa , slugger , okay ? you may want to think about this for a second . ivy : why ? i have just as much right being at forrester as steffy does . wyatt : i agree ! but there 's a little matter of the video , remember ? steffy has n't told anyone why she fired you . and if you push her -- quinn : push who ? what 's going on ? [ door closes ] wyatt : uh , nothing . nothing . ivy and i were just talking about stuff and things . quinn : ah , you plotting a way to get your job back at forrester ? ivy : what ? quinn : oh , i 'm right , are n't i ? ivy : no , we 're -- we 're not -- we 're not plotting . i mean , i 'm just -- i 'm gon na go back down to forrester , and i 'm gon na try speaking to steffy again , and hopefully this time i 'll get through to her . [ scene_break ] steffy : why would i have second thoughts ? ivy blackmailed me . i ca n't trust her . thomas : steff , she should be thanking you that you only fired her . steffy : oh . glad you 're on my side . thomas : of course , i 'm on your side . you 're my sister . except for when i 'm not . steffy : okay . thomas : mm - hmm . steffy : careful . you do n't want to get on the boss 's bad side . thomas : not a chance . besides , dad and i started off a little rocky , but now that i 'm on the design team , he seems to be responding really well to everything that i have to offer . steffy : yeah , how 's that going ? thomas : great . great , yeah . dad 's loving everything that i have to give him right now . steffy : no , i mean how 's it really going , working so closely with dad and his new wife , given your history with caroline ? [ scene_break ] brooke : i know you do n't want to disappoint caroline . but this changes everything . ridge : oh , really ? you do n't think i realize that ? she 's wanted a baby for so long , and now i 'm gon na take that away from her . brooke : no , you 're not . you 've done everything you possibly can to make it happen , only it 's not possible . the longer you keep this from caroline , the harder it 's gon na be for both of you . and you know i 'm right . [ scene_break ] doctor : if you 're asking about a paternity test -- caroline : please do n't tell me that it 's too early . doctor : i 'm afraid so . though you said something earlier about your period . uh , you indicated it was lighter than normal ? caroline : yes . doctor : but you said you had it , correct ? caroline : yes . please , just please tell me that this is my husband 's baby . please . [ scene_break ] quinn : steffy does n't back down on pretty much anything . what makes you think you 're gon na get her to on this ? ivy : well , i at least have to try . quinn : why ? because you miss working with me so much ? ivy : i miss everything at forrester , actually , even pam and her lemon bars . quinn : ew ! ah ! ivy : and having my defender right down the hall . that was an added bonus , as well . quinn : well , if this guy is in your corner , he 's there for life , unlike liam . wyatt : okay , let 's not go there , please . quinn : i 'm just saying , she can count on you in ways she never could with liam . ivy : look , i know that . your son has proven that to me in a way that i 'll never forget . quinn : proven it in what way ? wyatt : must you know everything , mom ? quinn : must you be so infuriatingly cryptic all the time ? wyatt : you 're infuriating . ivy : can we speak about steffy again , please ? look , some time has passed , and i think that i can talk to her and -- and get through to her this time . quinn : and if you ca n't , what are you gon na do then ? [ scene_break ] thomas : what is it with everyone ? all right , first brooke , then nicole , now you ? there 's no problem , okay ? steffy : i did n't say there was . i 'm just saying when you first found out about dad and caroline -- thomas : whoa , whoa , whoa . no , no , no . you had problems with their relationship , too . steffy : yeah , for different reasons than you did . thomas : i was concerned for caroline , all right ? i thought dad was gon na let her down just like he did with brooke and mom . i was wrong , okay ? he totally stepped up . steffy : agreeing to be a father again , you mean ? thomas : having a child is everything to caroline . granted , dad was n't initially gung - ho about the whole thing , but now nothing is gon na stop him from giving his wife the child of her dreams . [ scene_break ] brooke : so , how much longer do you think caroline will be ? ridge : i do n't know . i know you mean well , and you want to -- want to help , but ... brooke : you do n't want me around when she returns . ridge : i just want to be alone with my wife . brooke : i 'll say it again . there are other ways that you can have a child together . ridge : i 'll say it again . caroline wants to have a child with me . that 's why she went to the doctor 's office . she wants to make sure that everything is in place so it can happen . but it ca n't happen . as long as caroline 's with me , she 's never gon na be pregnant . [ scene_break ] caroline : please just tell me that i 'm carrying my husband 's child . doctor : you really had no idea you might be pregnant ? caroline : i was on the pill ! doctor : it 's a very effective form of birth control , but none are 100 % , especially if you miss a day or two . caroline : [ sighs ] i was just so , so stressed out back then , and ... oh , my god . i could be carrying ... doctor : caroline , listen to me . i understand why you might be upset . it sounds as if you had your period . this pregnancy would have come after . in my opinion , for now there 's no reason to believe this is n't your husband 's child . caroline : [ sighs ] doctor : we can do some more tests to be certain when you 're a little further along , but given everything you 've told me , i have a really good feeling . stay positive . it ca n't be stressing the two of you . caroline : okay . okay , um ... is there anything that i should be doing ? doctor : we 'll get you started on prenatal vitamins . beyond that , you 're a very healthy young woman . i do n't foresee any problems . caroline : [ sighs ] it 's our first baby . oh , i ca n't wait to tell my husband .

i do n't think that 's the way it works . and if this is your version of pretending to care , you can skip that too . kate : she was always a means to an end . lucas : yeah , for you , maybe . i hope it was worth it . kate : actually , it was . jordan 's leaving salem . rafe : so were you even gon na tell me that you were leaving ? jordan : is this from gabi ? because she misunderstood -- rafe : gabi did n't say a word . it was ben . he 's the one who told me you were leaving town . ben : can i ask you something ? abigail : yeah , sure . ben : this terrible thing you did before , was that about nick ? because i would n't feel bad about anything you supposedly did to that guy . abigail : you do n't know my cousin either , do you ? ben : i do n't have to . i watch . i pay attention . it 's not just me -- no one likes that guy . will : you were going to shoot nick , were n't you ?

you think he 's gon na come crawling back to you ? mom , if you think that , you 're pathetic , and you 're deluded . jordan : why would my brother tell you i was leaving ? rafe : exactly . because as you know , ben and i are n't the best of friends , so why is he the one being honest with me and not you ?

ben : friends . sonny : nick said he would put gabi in prison if she does n't do what he wants . exactly . things have escalated , will . it 's one thing when gabi wanted to be with nick and she was with nick . we thought that was creepy . but she 's a grown woman , and she makes her own choices . but she does n't want to be with him now . she 's afraid , and she should be from what he said . nick has come off the rails . and that 's the guy who 's gon na raise ari ?

liam : yeah ? wyatt : yeah , of course . i 've got a good feeling about this , though , you know ? a few months from now , i 'm gon na be uncle wyatt , and dad 's gon na have his first grandchild . it 's gon na be crazy . when are you gon na tell him , by the way ? katie : do n't look at me like that . brooke : i still ca n't believe it . you and wyatt ? katie : did n't think i had it in me , did you ? brooke : well , i am shocked . but in a good way . besides , who am i to judge ? it must be kind of exciting , this sneaking around ... katie : yeah , i admit that there 's an element of that , but it 's more than just that . i mean , wyatt and i are in sync , and i do n't know where this is going , and i do n't care because we 're just having fun . but please -- please , you have to promise me not to say anything to anyone about this . i mean , too many people know already . brooke : no , i know , and you do n't want bill to find out . so of course , no problem . katie : okay . thank you . and you have enough going on in your own life , anyway . have you told r.j. that you 're marrying ridge again ? brooke : [ sighs ] not yet . katie : he 's gon na be thrilled . i ca n't say the same for bill , though . brooke : i do n't think he cares . katie : oh , come on . i do n't believe that . brooke : no , seriously . i have n't heard from bill . not one word . katie : okay , so you 're ending your marriage to bill , you 're remarrying ridge , and you have thorne living with you . i guess it 's just another day at the office for brooke logan . brooke : [ chuckles ] katie : how are things going with thorne ? brooke : good . i thought it 'd be nice to have him there at the house , and we could catch up and , you know ... we 've always been good friends . katie : mm - hmm . yeah . good friends who ... he just happens to be your ex- husband . i mean , how does ridge feel about all this ? brooke : mm ... katie : ah , they 're not getting along -- shocking . brooke : yeah , well , it is that competition thing . plus , thorne found out about ridge and quinn , and he 's worried about me and thinks that i might be setting myself up to get hurt again . so he made his feelings known . he wants us to get back together . steffy : i love this child , and i 'm excited to be a mother . what you just said , i ca n't even go there . bill : i understand that , but the possibility exists that it 's mine . steffy : it is n't ! it 's liam 's . you and i were together once . nothing could have happened that night ! bill : it only takes once . you know that . steffy : bill , do n't even say that . bill : you have to consider it . steffy : i do n't have to consider anything ! liam and i , we 've been trying to have a child for years ! it ca n't just -- it ca n't just happen once . it 's not fair , bill . it 's not fair ! bill : fair 's got nothing to do with it . steffy : oh , my god , bill ! this secret is killing me ! and now this ? i should have told liam about us from the beginning . i should have . bill : you would have lost him . steffy : well , you know what , bill , if this child is n't liam 's , i 'll lose him anyway . katie : so , when thorne said that he wanted you back , it was n't just a casual `` for old time 's sake `` fling . brooke : thorne 's not the fling type . katie : this is unbelievable ! brooke : thorne and i were very close for a long time . katie : that was 10,000 years ago ! i mean , how many times have you gone back to ridge since then ? brooke : well , that 's exactly the point . he does n't want me to do that again . katie : right , he 's even going as far as asking you to marry him . brooke : rather than ridge . besides , i do n't think he was serious about that . katie : and yet , he 's still living in your house . i mean , ridge must love that . brooke : well , ridge does n't know all the specifics . i want those two to get along . regardless , he does n't like anything his brother 's doing these days . katie : right , but wanting to design and wanting you back are two very different things . i mean , have you been absolutely clear with him that you are committed to ridge ? brooke : yes . i told him , in no uncertain terms , the marriage is happening . katie : and yet he still wants you . brooke , do n't put yourself in between those brothers . you have got to be crystal - clear with thorne that there 's no chance that you 're going to rekindle anything with him . brooke : i know . you 're right , okay ? i will just tell him as many times as i need to . katie : i 'm just watching out for you . brooke : thanks . me , too . i 'm happy that you 're happy with wyatt . katie : thank you . i knew you would n't judge me . brooke : oh , of course not . i 'll never judge you . i want you to enjoy yourself , enjoy your life ! enjoy wyatt . but just be careful because i know bill is not gon na like this . and he always finds out about these things . always . wyatt : finally starting your long - awaited , well - deserved family . i 'm seriously proud of you . liam : thanks , bro . wyatt : yeah . liam : this does n't even seem real . well , especially the way that it happened because , you know , steffy did n't go to the doctor thinking she was pregnant . it was just a routine check - up , and then -- boop ! -- baby on board . wyatt : yeah . i 'm all for it . you know , this family could use a little joy after all we 've been through lately . that war between you and dad , i just ... i did n't think it was gon na end well . liam : but steffy did . that 's what 's funny . i mean , she -- she basically gave me my own father back . and now she 's giving me a little son or daughter . dude , we 're having a baby ! like ... wyatt : [ laughs ] steffy : you do n't know what this is doing to me . the weight of all these secrets , i ca n't -- i ca n't eat , i can't ... i ca n't sleep . i ca n't even form a coherent thought . bill : i 'm sorry . i know you 've been under a lot of pressure . but things have changed . this is n't just about you anymore , steffy . the well - being of the baby has to come first . steffy : you think i do n't know that ? i 'm trying , bill . i 'm really trying . look , if i could go back and erase everything , maybe it would all make sense . bill : you need to know . we both do . steffy : i do . this baby is liam 's . bill : and if it is n't ? steffy : it is ! his father ? liam would never forgive me . this can not be your child ! bill : we need to find out one way or another . so we can start making plans . whatever the outcome , you should raise the baby with the biological father . steffy : what ? bill ! bill ! do n't even say that ! you ca n't -- do not think that ! this has to be liam 's ! it 's liam ! this is the family that we 've always wanted , okay ? this is his ! it has to be ! oh , god ... you 're right .

[ sighs ] [ cellphone rings ] dr. campbell . steffy : dr. campbell , it 's steffy spencer . steffy . everything okay ? steffy : i 'm not sure . what 's going on ? steffy : dr. campbell , this has to be in strictest confidence . of course . steffy : i need to schedule a paternity test . okay . due to the timing , we 're gon na have to set something up for after the holidays . steffy : no , no , no , no . that 's too long . the stress is already eating me up inside , and this is not healthy for the baby . if we could just please -- steffy , if you can come in today , then i 'll squeeze you in between appointments . steffy : yes . yes . i 'll be there . i can hear that you 're upset , so let 's get you the answers that you need . then you can focus on carrying this baby to term . steffy : i want that , too . thank you . i ca n't tell you how much i appreciate it . bill : you 're doing the right thing . we both need to know . steffy : i already know . i already know it 's liam 's baby . and once the test confirms it , we 'll get on with our lives . thorne : do n't worry . i 've accepted that you 've accepted ridge 's proposal . brooke : good . because i have n't forgotten what you said . thorne : what did i say ? brooke : are you really gon na tell me you forgot ? thorne : i do n't know . i say a lot of things . brooke : okay , well , maybe this will refresh your memory . during the next few months while i 'm getting my divorce to bill , you are gon na try to win me back . thorne : i said that ? brooke : mm - hmm . thorne : good for me . brooke : [ laughs ] seriously , thorne . look , i know you 're concerned about me , and i know you do n't want to see me go through another heartbreak or disappointment , but i know what i 'm doing . and if you 're gon na live here in this house , you need to respect my decision . thorne : brooke , first and foremost , i 'm your friend , someone you can trust , confide in . this friendship is very important to me . brooke : you 're very sweet , thorne . thorne : do n't tell ridge . he 'll start calling me `` sweet little brother . `` brooke : [ laughs ] he would . wyatt : okay , let 's just take a minute here to reflect on this child that you and steffy are bringing into the world . it could be a devoted environmentalist , it could be a super savvy businesswoman . liam : mr. or madame president . wyatt : mm . liam : or just a dirty tree - hugging hippy who lives off the land and listens to grateful dead the whole day . wyatt : that 's probably what it 's gon na be . liam : oh , my god , could you imagine the sheer disappointment and scorn from dad ? wyatt : oh ! look , he 's gon na be proud of you , dude , no matter what . you 're giving him his first grandchild . liam : yeah . does that bother you at all ? wyatt : hell -- dude , no . liam : no ? wyatt : better you than me . i 'll just take notes . you be the guinea pig . liam : [ laughs ] i mean , that is true . this is the most exciting but most terrifying thing that 's ever happened to me . just the responsibility is off the charts , with -- with rewards i 'm sure i ca n't even fathom yet . wyatt : exactly , yeah , like sleep deprivation , no social life . liam : hey . what ? wait . whoa . wyatt : tons of dirty diapers , i mean , more than you can count . liam : dude , i -- agh ! wyatt : [ laughs ] liam : hey , at least it 's steffy i get to take the journey with , you know ? wyatt : that 's true . you 're a lucky man . liam : this is crazy . can you imagine ? like , right now -- right now , inside of steffy , there is already a little baby growing , that is half steffy , half me . bill : it 's great that dr . campbell can squeeze you in . steffy : yeah . yeah . i ca n't wait till after the holidays . bill : all right , well , let 's go . steffy : you ca n't come with me . bill : i have a stake in this , too , steffy . steffy : yeah , a stake that no one can know about . bill : yeah . yeah , you 're right . i just want to be there for you . steffy : like you were for me that night ? what 's wrong with us ? how could we do that ? bill : no , no , no , no , no . you 're forgetting the circumstances . we made love that night because of what we share , because of the connection and the attraction we 've always had . steffy : no , no , no . bill . no ! no ! no ! you were hurting , and you turned to me because it felt right . steffy : well , you know what , i must have been out of my mind . that is the only explanation because i would never betray liam in such an unforgivable way ! i keep lying to him , and i ca n't take it anymore . i ca n't take it ! bill : you 're not thinking of telling him , are you ? steffy : [ sighs ] i want to , bill , i really do . but i can't . i can't . maybe that makes me an even worse person . bill : no , steffy , stop beating yourself up . there 's no reason for us to hurt him . especially if it turns out ... that the kid is his . steffy : it is . and once this sweet , innocent child is proven to be liam 's , i 'm just gon na thank god every day for the privilege of a future and a family with the man i love . bill : sounds like a plan . steffy : well , first thing is the paternity test . now , only you , me , and the doctor know , and no one needs to know because the baby is liam 's , and once we confirm it , we can put it all behind us . bill : you really think you can do that ? steffy : once i know for a fact that this child is liam 's , i will never think about that night with you ever again .
bill is stunned – steffy pregnant , he wants her to be sure . she says yes , she and liam have been wanting a baby for a long time . he says great but there is a possibility that child is his . steffy nixes that . she says she and liam having been wanting a child for years and she and bill were only together one time so it just ca n't be his . bill says she is hiding her head in the sand as it can happen . steffy panics and says even if it is she will lose liam anyway . liam reinforces to wyatt why they want to just stay quiet for a while until the pregnancy is further along . losing his first baby was devastating . they almost did not make it as a family and now they have waited so long . wyatt says they will have a healthy baby and he will be a great father so no negativity . brooke still can not believe it – katie and wyatt as a couple , but she bets it is sort of exciting sneaking around . katie admits it is but they are not ready to tell anyone just yet especially not bill . she scoffs when brooke tells her about thorne 's proposal . brooke says they have always been close but she did not take this seriously , only that he did not want her to marry ridge . she will make it crystal clear to him she will not rekindle their romance and she intends to marry ridge .
<s>[INST] bill : you 're pregnant . steffy : yes . bill : you 're sure . steffy : my doctor confirmed it . it 's happy news , bill . liam and i have wanted this for so long . bill : steffy ... steffy : we 've been trying . we 've been hoping and praying , and now it 's finally happening . liam and i are having a baby . bill : steffy . look at me . there 's a possibility that child is mine . liam : i mean , it 's still super early in the pregnancy . most people do n't tell anyone until at least after the first trimester . wyatt : right . liam : but , honestly , i mean , steffy and i were n't even sure this was possible , especially given , you know , her fertility issues after losing our first . but that 's why we want to keep it quiet . just -- i just want to make sure it sticks . wyatt : yeah . dude , i totally understand , all right ? liam : yeah ? wyatt : yeah , of course . i 've got a good feeling about this , though , you know ? a few months from now , i 'm gon na be uncle wyatt , and dad 's gon na have his first grandchild . it 's gon na be crazy . when are you gon na tell him , by the way ? katie : do n't look at me like that . brooke : i still ca n't believe it . you and wyatt ? katie : did n't think i had it in me , did you ? brooke : well , i am shocked . but in a good way . besides , who am i to judge ? it must be kind of exciting , this sneaking around ... katie : yeah , i admit that there 's an element of that , but it 's more than just that . i mean , wyatt and i are in sync , and i do n't know where this is going , and i do n't care because we 're just having fun . but please -- please , you have to promise me not to say anything to anyone about this . i mean , too many people know already . brooke : no , i know , and you do n't want bill to find out . so of course , no problem . katie : okay . thank you . and you have enough going on in your own life , anyway . have you told r.j. that you 're marrying ridge again ? brooke : [ sighs ] not yet . katie : he 's gon na be thrilled . i ca n't say the same for bill , though . brooke : i do n't think he cares . katie : oh , come on . i do n't believe that . brooke : no , seriously . i have n't heard from bill . not one word . katie : okay , so you 're ending your marriage to bill , you 're remarrying ridge , and you have thorne living with you . i guess it 's just another day at the office for brooke logan . brooke : [ chuckles ] katie : how are things going with thorne ? brooke : good . i thought it 'd be nice to have him there at the house , and we could catch up and , you know ... we 've always been good friends . katie : mm - hmm . yeah . good friends who ... he just happens to be your ex- husband . i mean , how does ridge feel about all this ? brooke : mm ... katie : ah , they 're not getting along -- shocking . brooke : yeah , well , it is that competition thing . plus , thorne found out about ridge and quinn , and he 's worried about me and thinks that i might be setting myself up to get hurt again . so he made his feelings known . he wants us to get back together . steffy : i love this child , and i 'm excited to be a mother . what you just said , i ca n't even go there . bill : i understand that , but the possibility exists that it 's mine . steffy : it is n't ! it 's liam 's . you and i were together once . nothing could have happened that night ! bill : it only takes once . you know that . steffy : bill , do n't even say that . bill : you have to consider it . steffy : i do n't have to consider anything ! liam and i , we 've been trying to have a child for years ! it ca n't just -- it ca n't just happen once . it 's not fair , bill . it 's not fair ! bill : fair 's got nothing to do with it . steffy : oh , my god , bill ! this secret is killing me ! and now this ? i should have told liam about us from the beginning . i should have . bill : you would have lost him . steffy : well , you know what , bill , if this child is n't liam 's , i 'll lose him anyway . katie : so , when thorne said that he wanted you back , it was n't just a casual `` for old time 's sake `` fling . brooke : thorne 's not the fling type . katie : this is unbelievable ! brooke : thorne and i were very close for a long time . katie : that was 10,000 years ago ! i mean , how many times have you gone back to ridge since then ? brooke : well , that 's exactly the point . he does n't want me to do that again . katie : right , he 's even going as far as asking you to marry him . brooke : rather than ridge . besides , i do n't think he was serious about that . katie : and yet , he 's still living in your house . i mean , ridge must love that . brooke : well , ridge does n't know all the specifics . i want those two to get along . regardless , he does n't like anything his brother 's doing these days . katie : right , but wanting to design and wanting you back are two very different things . i mean , have you been absolutely clear with him that you are committed to ridge ? brooke : yes . i told him , in no uncertain terms , the marriage is happening . katie : and yet he still wants you . brooke , do n't put yourself in between those brothers . you have got to be crystal - clear with thorne that there 's no chance that you 're going to rekindle anything with him . brooke : i know . you 're right , okay ? i will just tell him as many times as i need to . katie : i 'm just watching out for you . brooke : thanks . me , too . i 'm happy that you 're happy with wyatt . katie : thank you . i knew you would n't judge me . brooke : oh , of course not . i 'll never judge you . i want you to enjoy yourself , enjoy your life ! enjoy wyatt . but just be careful because i know bill is not gon na like this . and he always finds out about these things . always . wyatt : finally starting your long - awaited , well - deserved family . i 'm seriously proud of you . liam : thanks , bro . wyatt : yeah . liam : this does n't even seem real . well , especially the way that it happened because , you know , steffy did n't go to the doctor thinking she was pregnant . it was just a routine check - up , and then -- boop ! -- baby on board . wyatt : yeah . i 'm all for it . you know , this family could use a little joy after all we 've been through lately . that war between you and dad , i just ... i did n't think it was gon na end well . liam : but steffy did . that 's what 's funny . i mean , she -- she basically gave me my own father back . and now she 's giving me a little son or daughter . dude , we 're having a baby ! like ... wyatt : [ laughs ] steffy : you do n't know what this is doing to me . the weight of all these secrets , i ca n't -- i ca n't eat , i can't ... i ca n't sleep . i ca n't even form a coherent thought . bill : i 'm sorry . i know you 've been under a lot of pressure . but things have changed . this is n't just about you anymore , steffy . the well - being of the baby has to come first . steffy : you think i do n't know that ? i 'm trying , bill . i 'm really trying . look , if i could go back and erase everything , maybe it would all make sense . bill : you need to know . we both do . steffy : i do . this baby is liam 's . bill : and if it is n't ? steffy : it is ! his father ? liam would never forgive me . this can not be your child ! bill : we need to find out one way or another . so we can start making plans . whatever the outcome , you should raise the baby with the biological father . steffy : what ? bill ! bill ! do n't even say that ! you ca n't -- do not think that ! this has to be liam 's ! it 's liam ! this is the family that we 've always wanted , okay ? this is his ! it has to be ! oh , god ... you 're right . [ sighs ] you 're right . you 're right . this is n't -- this is n't good for me . it 's not healthy for me or the baby . i need to know . i need to be certain liam is the father . thorne : hey ! i did n't think you were home . brooke : oh ! thorne : pool 's back up and running . brooke : well , yeah . i see that . uh , i was over at katie 's . thorne : okay . everything good with her ? brooke : yeah . yeah . she 's happy and i 'm glad about that . so close to the holidays . thorne : yeah , i ca n't believe it 's almost christmas . brooke : uh - huh . thorne : looking forward to spending it with the family . brooke : yeah . me , too . thorne : [ chuckles ] okay . something is bothering you . did you violate the house guest code ? am i dripping ? brooke : no . no . you 're a perfect houseguest . and i 'm happy that you 're here . thorne : but ... ? brooke : i just need to know that you understand something . even thought i 'm not wearing ridge 's ring , i intend to marry him . and i 'm going to bring our family back together . now , i know you do n't approve , but i need to hear that you accept that . wyatt : i ca n't believe you 're actually gon na be someone 's father . liam : it 's frightening , right ? wyatt : super frightening . liam : you know , it 's actually , like , literally frightening . i mean , imagine me , like , me , in charge of this tiny little helpless person . i mean , what if i blow it ? what if i get it all wrong ? what if i -- dude , what if i make all the same mistakes i accused dad of making ? that could happen . wyatt : okay , first off , that is a completely different situation . you are gon na be there for your child , and you 'll be able to , you know , make adjustments from there . and , second , like , you 're not like dad . you 're not gon na repeat his mistakes . you are gon na be a fantastic , present dad and produce a phenomenal new addition to the human race . liam : yeah . the other thing that scares me ... wyatt : hmm ? liam : ... is the possibility that it happens again , you know . i mean , losing our baby , that was -- that was devastating for steffy and me . wyatt : i know . liam : we almost did n't make it as a couple . wyatt : i know , but , dude , you got to get that thought out of your head . like , do n't invite that kind of negativity . it 's not gon na happen . liam : yeah , no . you 're right . this is something that we have waited for for so long , and it 's finally happening , so ... wyatt : exactly . that 's what i 'm talking about . liam : [ sighs ] steffy and liam -- parents ! wyatt : [ laughing ] yeah . bill : the holidays are coming up . steffy : i do n't know if i can handle that now . bill : if you get the reassurance you need , that it 's liam 's baby ... it 'll be a very happy holiday for you . steffy : i do n't even know anything about a paternity test , like , what you do or how long it takes to get the results . bill : only one way to find out . steffy : okay .

[ scene_break ] david : i 'm sure dorian has informed you that she offered paul the diamond necklace that was made from what was left of the `` bad - rah `` diamond . dorian : darling , `` ba - drah . `` david : that 's what i said . paul said that he was going to leave town . but as soon as he got his hands on the badhra necklace , i was sure that he was n't going to live up to his commitment . bo : and what happened then ? david : she and paul got into a fight . that 's probably what -- what your witness saw . but he was alive when she left him . nora : and when did you get there ? david : not -- not long after , i followed dorian to the graveyard . i wanted to make sure that paul was n't trying to pull anything . and i asked him , `` why have n't you left llanview ? `` do you know what he gave me ? he gave me the wrong answer . so i killed the little slimeball and i dumped him in the judge 's grave . unfortunately , my -- my brilliant -- my beautiful fiancée , she was on to me . so i moved paul 's body to the quarry . you know , incidentally , as a side note , it was just pure dumb luck that that quarry froze over . bo : what 'd you do with the gun ? david : oh , the gun ? i -- i dismantled that thing . i threw it into -- dorian : david , you do n't have to say any more . so now you have his statement . bo : that 's very interesting , though -- because we found the gun in dorian 's office . now , there 's a lot of people who might wonder -- since you love your fiancée so much -- why you would murder cramer and then turn around and try to frame her . dorian : that 's right , darling . a lot of people are wondering . [ scene_break ] john : what are you saying ? natalie : i do n't know . we just have this connection . john : been through a lot together . natalie : when i told you everything that happened with paul , i felt so close . john : yeah . seemed like the walls came down for a little while . natalie : john , i have always wanted you in my life . even when i 've made your life miserable . john : well , i think you sort of owed me one . natalie : please , you know what i 'm trying to say . john : yeah , i know what you 're trying to say . look , we can -- we can still do this , ca n't we ? we can just sit , right ? are you saying that 's got to change ? natalie : it has to . my husband 's back . you have to promise me , ok , cristian ca n't ever find out what happened with us . [ scene_break ] rex : ok , i 'm listening . what 's the subject ? shannon : the truth . rex : uh , no . you promised me you 'd keep quiet about that . do i need to get it in writing ? shannon : one , i never promised anything , and two , i mean the truth about paul cramer . i mean , i know you hid the gun to protect natalie , but the actual murder weapon was found in dorian lord 's office . rex : so ? shannon : so where did you get the gun that you buried in the cement ? rex : found it in the yard at your house . shannon : the love house ? rex : yeah . my mom said natalie had been by . i thought it was hers . why do you care ? shannon : because i thought you were putting yourself on the line for jen . i mean , until dorian got arrested , i just -- i thought jen killed paul and you were covering for her and i hated that . she does n't even give a damn about you . but i do . i know you do n't believe me because i went to john , but i was just scared . i was scared you 'd go to prison and i 'd lose you . [ scene_break ] daniel : i really think you 're misunderstanding me here . lindsay : i 'm not misunderstanding anything . and to tell you the truth , it 's downright insulting because i know exactly what 's going on here . dorian told you that i went to see her after she was arrested , and that 's when she tried to pin paul 's murder on me . daniel : that 's not -- lindsay : stop talking . i am done being probed by you , so why do n't you go ask nora some questions , or did she blow you off so she could go spend some time with bo ? daniel : why -- why do you always have to bring them into this , huh ? bo and nora have a relationship because of their son , the same way we have a relationship because of our kids . lindsay : no . because to me , having a relationship implies that there 's a certain amount of trust between two people , which you and i definitely do n't have . daniel : then we 'd better work on it , because if jen and riley are as close as they seem to be getting , you and i will be spending a lot of holidays together . [ scene_break ] riley : sure you 're ok ? jen : when we were passing the playground , i was thinking about when i was little . my dad would get home from work and i 'd be in the backyard on the swings . he 'd push me so high , but i always felt safe . i 'd give anything to feel like that again , even for five minutes . riley : i -- i 'm up for the swings . let 's go . jen : thanks . can i take a rain check ? riley : of course . anytime . but since we have the time , you want to go take a look at an apartment ? jen : now ? riley : yeah , i could call the super . it 's just a studio , but when i saw it , i could just see us living there . jen : i -- i could do that , yeah . riley : look , even with our roommates out of town in philly , until we have our own place , we 'd have a little privacy for ourselves . what 's wrong ? jen : i ca n't . riley : you ca n't what ? i thought we decided we were ready . jen : i 'm sorry , i just ca n't . i 'm really sorry .

[ scene_break ] david : i 'm sure dorian has informed you that she offered paul the diamond necklace that was made from what was left of the `` bad - rah `` diamond . dorian : darling , `` ba - drah . `` david : that 's what i said . paul said that he was going to leave town . but as soon as he got his hands on the badhra necklace , i was sure that he was n't going to live up to his commitment . bo : and what happened then ? david : she and paul got into a fight . that 's probably what -- what your witness saw . but he was alive when she left him . nora : and when did you get there ? david : not -- not long after , i followed dorian to the graveyard . i wanted to make sure that paul was n't trying to pull anything . and i asked him , `` why have n't you left llanview ? `` do you know what he gave me ? he gave me the wrong answer . so i killed the little slimeball and i dumped him in the judge 's grave . unfortunately , my -- my brilliant -- my beautiful fiancée , she was on to me . so i moved paul 's body to the quarry . you know , incidentally , as a side note , it was just pure dumb luck that that quarry froze over . bo : what 'd you do with the gun ? david : oh , the gun ? i -- i dismantled that thing . i threw it into -- dorian : david , you do n't have to say any more . so now you have his statement . bo : that 's very interesting , though -- because we found the gun in dorian 's office . now , there 's a lot of people who might wonder -- since you love your fiancée so much -- why you would murder cramer and then turn around and try to frame her . dorian : that 's right , darling . a lot of people are wondering . [ scene_break ] john : what are you saying ? natalie : i do n't know . we just have this connection . john : been through a lot together . natalie : when i told you everything that happened with paul , i felt so close . john : yeah . seemed like the walls came down for a little while . natalie : john , i have always wanted you in my life . even when i 've made your life miserable . john : well , i think you sort of owed me one . natalie : please , you know what i 'm trying to say . john : yeah , i know what you 're trying to say . look , we can -- we can still do this , ca n't we ? we can just sit , right ? are you saying that 's got to change ? natalie : it has to . my husband 's back . you have to promise me , ok , cristian ca n't ever find out what happened with us . [ scene_break ] rex : ok , i 'm listening . what 's the subject ? shannon : the truth . rex : uh , no . you promised me you 'd keep quiet about that . do i need to get it in writing ? shannon : one , i never promised anything , and two , i mean the truth about paul cramer . i mean , i know you hid the gun to protect natalie , but the actual murder weapon was found in dorian lord 's office . rex : so ? shannon : so where did you get the gun that you buried in the cement ? rex : found it in the yard at your house . shannon : the love house ? rex : yeah . my mom said natalie had been by . i thought it was hers . why do you care ? shannon : because i thought you were putting yourself on the line for jen . i mean , until dorian got arrested , i just -- i thought jen killed paul and you were covering for her and i hated that . she does n't even give a damn about you . but i do . i know you do n't believe me because i went to john , but i was just scared . i was scared you 'd go to prison and i 'd lose you . [ scene_break ] daniel : i really think you 're misunderstanding me here . lindsay : i 'm not misunderstanding anything . and to tell you the truth , it 's downright insulting because i know exactly what 's going on here . dorian told you that i went to see her after she was arrested , and that 's when she tried to pin paul 's murder on me . daniel : that 's not -- lindsay : stop talking . i am done being probed by you , so why do n't you go ask nora some questions , or did she blow you off so she could go spend some time with bo ? daniel : why -- why do you always have to bring them into this , huh ? bo and nora have a relationship because of their son , the same way we have a relationship because of our kids . lindsay : no . because to me , having a relationship implies that there 's a certain amount of trust between two people , which you and i definitely do n't have . daniel : then we 'd better work on it , because if jen and riley are as close as they seem to be getting , you and i will be spending a lot of holidays together . [ scene_break ] riley : sure you 're ok ? jen : when we were passing the playground , i was thinking about when i was little . my dad would get home from work and i 'd be in the backyard on the swings . he 'd push me so high , but i always felt safe . i 'd give anything to feel like that again , even for five minutes . riley : i -- i 'm up for the swings . let 's go . jen : thanks . can i take a rain check ? riley : of course . anytime . but since we have the time , you want to go take a look at an apartment ? jen : now ? riley : yeah , i could call the super . it 's just a studio , but when i saw it , i could just see us living there . jen : i -- i could do that , yeah . riley : look , even with our roommates out of town in philly , until we have our own place , we 'd have a little privacy for ourselves . what 's wrong ? jen : i ca n't . riley : you ca n't what ? i thought we decided we were ready . jen : i 'm sorry , i just ca n't . i 'm really sorry .

brooke : i can understand your concern . darla : god , it just drives me crazy . i mean , the way people dismiss thorne and his ideas . after he 's been working so hard , it just -- brooke : eric did make him president . darla : and he earned that . brooke : absolutely . thorne is an asset to forrester . i know i could n't have run the company without him . and every business needs a nuts - and - bolts man to execute the vision -- darla : thorne has his own vision . brooke : well , of course he does . but , forrester , after all , is a fashion house , and without designers like eric and ridge -- darla : the company was without ridge for over a year , and it did n't exactly fall apart . brooke : thorne is a smart enough businessman to know that he should work with ridge 's creativity , and not fight it . look , they both have something special to bring to the table . something essential . they need each other . now , if you 're telling thorne something different , then maybe you need a little attitude adjustment . ridge : have a seat . you know everyone ? caitlin : um , yes , i do . it 's so good to see you . eric : thank you for being here . caitlin : you know , i 'm not really sure why i am . rick : we 've been looking at your designs . caitlin : oh . eric : we see a lot of promise . caitlin : thank you . ridge : rick told me you not only designed them , but you handmade these gowns yourself . caitlin : yes . yes i did . thorne : where did you learn how to do that ? caitlin : my nana taught me . thorne : nana . so you have n't had any formal training ? caitlin : no , sir . not yet . that 's why i was so excited to get the internship . stephanie : you did a fine job while you were here . ridge : and i think we can expect to see great things from you in the future . thank you , caitlin . caitlin : thank you so much , mr. forrester . rick : here -- let me show you out . ridge : tell me you do n't see what i see . thorne : what i see , ridge , is a kid . ridge : i 'm talking about the sparkle , thorne . the way she lights up a room . she 's got it . she 's got that star quality . i think we need to cultivate that and capitalize on it . thorne : like it 's that simple . ridge : well , most great ideas are that simple . thorne : you know what , ridge ? maybe in a few years , with some training , and -- ridge : what , she 's gon na be just like everyone else ? no , i think we 've got to move on this now , while she 's still young , fresh , coming - of - age . you know , that is the story we 're trying telling here . thorne : she 's got zero experience ! ridge : so we 'll bring brooke in to give her some pointers . stephanie : brooke ? eric : stephanie , do n't . stephanie : oh , i should 've known . i can see her fingerprints all over this . ridge : can we not get personal , here ? stephanie : i 'll take it personally , if you do n't mind . because it was our name and our company that was dragged into the gutter by brooke 's bedroom line . now , we do n't sell sex anymore . and we certainly do n't sell sex to teenagers . let 's just move on . caitlin : there it is . i was so nervous i almost forgot it . rick : you did great in there . caitlin : great ? i hardly said anything . rick : your designs spoke for themselves . caitlin : they really liked them ? rick : a lot . caitlin : i do n't know . you know , thorne seemed a little bit -- rick : that had nothing to do with you . believe me . caitlin : `` my nana taught me . `` what was i thinking ? rick : it was an honest answer . caitlin : well , it does n't sound very professional . rick : listen , just do n't worry about that . caitlin : i really want to work here , rick . i 'd do anything . i 'd answer phones , make coffee -- rick : i think ridge is gon na find you something more exciting than that . caitlin : because you told him about my designs . what did you say , exactly ? rick : the truth . that we would be crazy to let you slip through our fingers . caitlin : thank you . darla : you think i 'm butting in , too . brooke : i know you love your husband . and you want everybody to see him the way you do . and ridge does appreciate thorne . darla : as long as he stays in his place . brooke : look , darla , they 're going to have to work this out on their own . darla : well , that 'd be great . really . but i just do n't see that happening . all i see here is ridge trying to take over . brooke : well , it may look that way . ridge is a very dynamic person , he 's a born leader . darla : well , so is thorne . he 's just never given the opportunity to show it . he 's been in ridge 's shadow his entire life . and if ridge thinks he 's going to go back to that without a fight , he is wrong . god , brooke , he is dead wrong . ridge : mother , if you 're trying to make this a referendum on brooke -- stephanie : no . we did that last year when we threw her out of the company . since then , eric and thorne have been working night and day to rebuild the brand , have n't they ? we 've laid the groundwork , but we still have a long way to go . and now is not the time to become distracted with some new , untested and untried venture . thorne : which is my point exactly . however creative and inspiring the ideas , the timing 's all wrong . we have this whole campaign mapped out to revamp our image . to restore forrester back to its former glory . now , we 're just getting started . i need your help , ridge . i ca n't afford to have half my design team focused on stretch denim miniskirts . it 's a waste of your time and talent . ridge : and when exactly did i become part of your design team ? thorne : put your ego aside , ridge . and think about what 's best for the company . you 're talking about taking on enormous risk , committing a huge percentage of our resources to a line that 's only going to alienate our customer base . now , we 've all seen the studies , you can only stretch a brand so far before you get hit with a backlash . ridge : studies , huh ? focus groups . statistics . is that the glory of forrester , huh ? fortune follows the bold , you know that , dad . stephanie : that 's true , ridge . but there are some things that are more important . ridge : what , like getting back at brooke and me ? thorne : all right , that 's enough . now you 're making this personal , and it does n't have to be . the fact is , dad and i set our course months ago , and we 're going to stick with it . right , dad ? dad ?

[ caitlin sighs ] thomas : caitlin , he would n't haul you in front of the family just to humiliate you . caitlin : i just wish i 'd had a chance to talk to him . thomas : well , sorry he missed your meeting . caitlin : oh , it 's okay . i understood that . he was bringing his new little baby home for the first time . thomas : a baby he did n't even know was his until the night before . thank god they ran that paternity test again . can you imagine ? caitlin : yeah , your little brother would 've gone his whole life without knowing who he really was . makes me sick , the way jackie lied about it . thomas : at least she came clean in the end . caitlin : yeah , but your dad and brooke , they lost so much time together . thomas : they 're making up for it now . caitlin : really ? he 's not holding any of it against her ? thomas : no . not at all . he 's so happy , it 's ridiculous . he 's like a little kid . caitlin : well , i just know how worried you were about him . thomas : not anymore . everything 's the way it should 've been all along . and not just brooke and the baby . dad 's designing again , back at forrester . he 's working with my grandpa . he says he 's home . caitlin : that 's got to feel so good . thomas : it does . the whole family is finally coming together . darla : brooke , he is so beautiful . brooke : thank you . darla : alexandria 's growing up so fast , too . i ca n't believe she was actually this tiny . brooke : i know . i feel the same way about hope . darla : and they 're all going to get to grow up together . brooke : the next generation of forresters . darla : yeah . brooke : i want it to be different for them . darla : different ? different how ? brooke : well , i 'm sure you 've heard by now how it was for our husbands growing up . all the competition , the rivalry . how she played one against the other . darla : she ? brooke : stephanie . darla : hmm . i guess i never really looked at it that way . brooke : well , if you have n't seen it yet , i 'm sure you will . sugar ? darla : yes , please . well , there 's just been a little bit of tension between ridge and thorne at work . brooke : really ? darla : ridge has n't mentioned anything to you ? brooke : no . when he comes home , we just spend most of our time staring at the baby in wonder . or i 'm asleep , right ? darla : exactly . it was like that for us , too . i know . brooke : so , what 's going on at forrester ? darla : i do n't even know if i should 've brought this up , but -- brooke : brothers are going to disagree sometimes . darla : i know . but this is more like what you were talking about , the rivalry . you know , touching on old wounds . brooke : you were right to come to me . darla : you think so ? brooke : definitely . because i meant what i said . i want it to be different for this next generation . and we are the future of this family . we are the ones who are going to decide whether everybody falls back into the same old traps , or we do things differently . darla : exactly . brooke : it 's going to be harder for ridge and thorne , though , because they do n't see the patterns . they grew up in it . it 's very familiar to them . so you and i have to help them . keep them on the right track , set a good example . darla : well , i 'm really happy to hear you say that . 'cause i honestly think that you 're the only one that can help . brooke : so , you want me to talk to ridge about these problems he 's having with thorne at work ? darla : well , i think somebody has to . i tried . brooke : what happened ? darla : ridge made fun of me . brooke : really ? darla : mm - hmm . he thought i was butting in where i did n't belong . brooke : so , how does thorne feel ? darla : thorne feels that he can handle the situation on his own . brooke : i 'm sure neither one would like it if they knew you were coming to me about this . darla : yeah . but , you know , it 's like what you said , that it 's hard to see patterns repeating themselves , you know ? and i know how excited ridge is to be coming back to work at forrester , working with eric again . brooke : yeah , he is . darla : but does he know how much it means to thorne to have this new position ? i mean , to be president of the company their father created . brooke : he 's very happy for thorne . darla : he was , yeah . until thorne got in his way . brooke : got in his way ? darla : the whole time that ridge was gone , eric and thorne -- it 's not like they sat around on their butts . i mean , they worked so hard . brooke : i 'm sure they have . darla : and thorne came up with the strategy that they were putting into action . they were going to make forrester the premiere fashion house that it once was , and give it that prestige that it had before -- brooke : before me . darla : no , brooke . no . this is n't about you . no , this is about thorne 's vision for the company . brooke : stephanie 's vision too , no doubt . darla : well , everyone 's vision . until ridge came back with these ideas -- brooke : ideas that were n't right ? darla : no . no , not right at all . nothing against ridge and his ability as a designer . we all know how talented he is . but this line , um -- it 's just not forrester . brooke : according to whom ? darla : according to the president of the company . brooke : so you want me to explain all of this to ridge . darla : will you ? thomas : you 're nervous . caitlin : i ca n't help it . thomas : it 's not a big deal . caitlin : thomas , it 's a forrester board meeting . thomas : pretty soon , you 'll be like , `` oh , man , not another board meeting . `` caitlin : no , i do n't want to get my hopes up . thomas : too late . caitlin : you know , i 'd be happy just to get my internship back . thomas : okay , generally speaking , they do n't invite interns to board meetings . i mean , i 've never been to one . caitlin : oh , so you think they could actually have a job for me ? thomas : could be . caitlin : oh , my gosh , thomas . just to be here when they 're launching a new line , to see it all happen . i mean , as a dresser , an assistant -- anything . thomas : how 'd you know about the new line ? caitlin : oh , rick told me . thomas : during your meeting ? caitlin : after , when we went to lunch . thomas : oh , he took you to lunch ? caitlin : yeah . well , we were n't finished talking and he was hungry . he told me all about the new line -- and said i was in the right place at the right time . and he also said he 'd talk to your dad for me , and here i am . thomas : oh , because you know that that line 's not a definite go . caitlin : well , rick says what ridge wants , ridge gets . thomas : what else did rick say ? megan : caitlin ? caitlin : are they ready for me ? megan : yeah , they should be soon . so we should go . caitlin : okay . thomas : oh wait -- for luck . stephanie : you ca n't be serious . ridge : oh , i 'm very serious . thorne : you want to take this inexperienced , untested teenager -- ridge : oh , come on , thorne . thorne : -- and let her design her own line ? ridge : we 'd bill her as designer , i 'd be doing most of the work myself . thorne : then why get her involved at all ? ridge : thorne , in publicity alone , she 's worth her weight in gold . we 're reinventing here , and not just forrester , but cinderella . listen , is the modern - day heroine out there kissing frogs and chasing after a prince ? no . she 's making her own destiny ! stephanie : oh ! destiny . thorne : oh , now she 's a model ? ridge : more than a model , thorne . a role model . and even more than that , an inspiration . the embodiment of success . is n't that what we 're all after ? is n't that what we 'd all buy if we could ? especially in that , that age group , huh ? so who better to fill that role than a young , sexy , brilliantly talented -- stephanie : just a moment . i know this young lady . and she 's very pretty , but i would hardly call her sexy . ridge : not yet . that 's all part of the dream . the transformation -- from sweet , fresh - faced girl next door -- thorne : to what , ridge ? tramp ? ridge : to the girl who has the world on a string . taking charge , in control , making her own fantasies come true , thorne . no fairy godmother required . [ knocking on the door ] megan : she 's ready , whenever you are . eric : well , it does sound interesting . thorne : dad , it 's completely contrary to -- eric : thorne , i have n't signed off on anything . i just , uh , i 'd like to hear more . ridge : ah , you 've heard enough . now it 's time to see for yourself . the future of forrester creations . come on in . i think you all know caitlin ramirez , right ? caitlin : hi . darla : brooke ? brooke : i think thorne is right . darla : you do ? brooke : you should let he and ridge handle this on their own . darla : oh , you 're saying you do n't want to get involved , right ? brooke : i can understand your concern . darla : god , it just drives me crazy . i mean , the way people dismiss thorne and his ideas . after he 's been working so hard , it just -- brooke : eric did make him president . darla : and he earned that . brooke : absolutely . thorne is an asset to forrester . i know i could n't have run the company without him . and every business needs a nuts - and - bolts man to execute the vision -- darla : thorne has his own vision . brooke : well , of course he does . but , forrester , after all , is a fashion house , and without designers like eric and ridge -- darla : the company was without ridge for over a year , and it did n't exactly fall apart . brooke : thorne is a smart enough businessman to know that he should work with ridge 's creativity , and not fight it . look , they both have something special to bring to the table . something essential . they need each other . now , if you 're telling thorne something different , then maybe you need a little attitude adjustment . ridge : have a seat . you know everyone ? caitlin : um , yes , i do . it 's so good to see you . eric : thank you for being here . caitlin : you know , i 'm not really sure why i am . rick : we 've been looking at your designs . caitlin : oh . eric : we see a lot of promise . caitlin : thank you . ridge : rick told me you not only designed them , but you handmade these gowns yourself . caitlin : yes . yes i did . thorne : where did you learn how to do that ? caitlin : my nana taught me . thorne : nana . so you have n't had any formal training ? caitlin : no , sir . not yet . that 's why i was so excited to get the internship . stephanie : you did a fine job while you were here . ridge : and i think we can expect to see great things from you in the future . thank you , caitlin . caitlin : thank you so much , mr. forrester . rick : here -- let me show you out . ridge : tell me you do n't see what i see . thorne : what i see , ridge , is a kid . ridge : i 'm talking about the sparkle , thorne . the way she lights up a room . she 's got it . she 's got that star quality . i think we need to cultivate that and capitalize on it . thorne : like it 's that simple . ridge : well , most great ideas are that simple . thorne : you know what , ridge ? maybe in a few years , with some training , and -- ridge : what , she 's gon na be just like everyone else ? no , i think we 've got to move on this now , while she 's still young , fresh , coming - of - age . you know , that is the story we 're trying telling here . thorne : she 's got zero experience ! ridge : so we 'll bring brooke in to give her some pointers . stephanie : brooke ? eric : stephanie , do n't . stephanie : oh , i should 've known . i can see her fingerprints all over this . ridge : can we not get personal , here ? stephanie : i 'll take it personally , if you do n't mind . because it was our name and our company that was dragged into the gutter by brooke 's bedroom line . now , we do n't sell sex anymore . and we certainly do n't sell sex to teenagers . let 's just move on . caitlin : there it is . i was so nervous i almost forgot it . rick : you did great in there . caitlin : great ? i hardly said anything . rick : your designs spoke for themselves . caitlin : they really liked them ? rick : a lot . caitlin : i do n't know . you know , thorne seemed a little bit -- rick : that had nothing to do with you . believe me . caitlin : `` my nana taught me . `` what was i thinking ? rick : it was an honest answer . caitlin : well , it does n't sound very professional . rick : listen , just do n't worry about that . caitlin : i really want to work here , rick . i 'd do anything . i 'd answer phones , make coffee -- rick : i think ridge is gon na find you something more exciting than that . caitlin : because you told him about my designs . what did you say , exactly ? rick : the truth . that we would be crazy to let you slip through our fingers . caitlin : thank you . darla : you think i 'm butting in , too . brooke : i know you love your husband . and you want everybody to see him the way you do . and ridge does appreciate thorne . darla : as long as he stays in his place . brooke : look , darla , they 're going to have to work this out on their own . darla : well , that 'd be great . really . but i just do n't see that happening . all i see here is ridge trying to take over . brooke : well , it may look that way . ridge is a very dynamic person , he 's a born leader . darla : well , so is thorne . he 's just never given the opportunity to show it . he 's been in ridge 's shadow his entire life . and if ridge thinks he 's going to go back to that without a fight , he is wrong . god , brooke , he is dead wrong . ridge : mother , if you 're trying to make this a referendum on brooke -- stephanie : no . we did that last year when we threw her out of the company . since then , eric and thorne have been working night and day to rebuild the brand , have n't they ? we 've laid the groundwork , but we still have a long way to go . and now is not the time to become distracted with some new , untested and untried venture . thorne : which is my point exactly . however creative and inspiring the ideas , the timing 's all wrong . we have this whole campaign mapped out to revamp our image . to restore forrester back to its former glory . now , we 're just getting started . i need your help , ridge . i ca n't afford to have half my design team focused on stretch denim miniskirts . it 's a waste of your time and talent . ridge : and when exactly did i become part of your design team ? thorne : put your ego aside , ridge . and think about what 's best for the company . you 're talking about taking on enormous risk , committing a huge percentage of our resources to a line that 's only going to alienate our customer base . now , we 've all seen the studies , you can only stretch a brand so far before you get hit with a backlash . ridge : studies , huh ? focus groups . statistics . is that the glory of forrester , huh ? fortune follows the bold , you know that , dad . stephanie : that 's true , ridge . but there are some things that are more important . ridge : what , like getting back at brooke and me ?

chelsea has a dream that she has a baby girl in her arms and adam brings them both balloons . adam tells chelsea that he distanced himself from her when they lost their first baby , because he could n't deal with the sadness of the loss . the dream quickly turns into a nightmare when adam tells her that he is going to take the baby from her , and she will never see her daughter again . chelsea awakens from the dream frightened and asks her doctor if she lost her baby . the doctor tells chelsea that the baby is fine , but she has to be more careful to avoid stress and not do any strenuous activity . jack goes to visit adam and tells him that he and victor helped the police set a trap for congressman wheeler . if everything works out , the congressman will soon be in jail . jack also tells adam that victor has been at the hospital before and after his surgery and has been very worried about him . jack advises adam to recover slowly , be careful with his pain medication , and not waste the second chance that he has in life .

[ scene_break ] madison : and greenlee might want to wear a bulletproof vest . ryan : ha ha ha . madison : and some garlic and a stake , just to be safe . ryan : really ? because i think you are all the backup that i 'm gon na need . madison : me ? ryan : yes . madison : i do n't know if that 's a good idea . greenlee did fire me . ryan : yes , but you did have erica 's back . maybe she needs you . and potentially that stake . madison : i did have garlic powder on my pizza today . ryan : yes . madison : why not ? [ scene_break ] jack : bianca . any chance you could help me talk your mother into going back to the hospital ? bianca : i know better than to get in her way when she 's like this . but you have to promise me you 'll take it easy . erica : i will . i will . jack : and that you 'll go right back to the hospital when this is over . erica : ok . fine . but jack , right now i need your help . jack : sure . name it . erica : i want you to get me everything you can on david and greenlee . you told me that the police questioned them about my so - called embezzlement and about my disappearance . jack : yes , yes . so you want to send me on a mission and leave you all alone ? bianca : she 's got me . and i 'm pretty fired up . erica : there , you see ? and jack , you ca n't protect me forever . you ca n't stand guard over me . i 'll be fine . jack : you see what she does . you see , i was so worried i would never see these beautiful eyes again . how could i possibly say no to them ? see how she -- yes , i will go to the police station . i will get a copy of the transcript and whatever else they have . erica : oh , thank you , thank you . [ scene_break ] david : this is a disaster waiting to happen . erica 's gon na throw you under the bus the first chance she gets . greenlee : because that 's what we would do ? david : erica 's gon na use you to save fusion , and then she 's gon na destroy you in the process . i wo n't let that happen . greenlee : i know exactly what erica 's capable of . but if she 's willing to help me after what we -- david : ok , you see ? when you start talking like that , i 'm even more convinced it 's a mistake to trust her . greenlee : until we get the s.e.c . to back off , i do n't have a choice . david : i 'll go talk to them -- greenlee : no ! no . you 're going . david : i 'm not leaving you alone with erica and bianca . greenlee : you will only make this harder , because you 're not on board . david : and for good reason . greenlee : i need to do it alone , david . full attention on fusion , erica , the s.e.c . , fixing this . you 'll only be in the way . i 'll call you later . so let 's do this . i 'm in . well , since you 've taken it upon yourself to shut down my company -- our company , we have every right to see every single paper used in this investigation . agent bennett : there 's a clear trail showing money designated for the miranda center was diverted to another account . erica : that 's impossible . greenlee : i 'm sure there was an accounting error . agent bennett : unless that 's proven , fusion will remain closed for business . greenlee : well , if you 'll just give me the exact figure , i 'll just write a check to the miranda center . error corrected . fusion open for business . agent bennett : [ scoffs ] writing a check does n't change the fact that a crime has been committed . erica : well , you 're looking straight at me . i guess you 've decided already that i 'm guilty . but i would never take money from the miranda center . bianca : the charity is named after my daughter . my mother 's made huge donations . agent bennett : not so long ago , ms. kane was convicted of insider trading . erica : and i pled guilty to those charges , and i fired my advisors who got me into that mess . i mean , this seems like a witch hunt . well , i 'm certainly not gon na let you victimize me or -- or our company . greenlee : my partner is right . to take an accounting error and blow it out of proportion and turn it into a crime when no crime has been committed , it 's just wrong . agent bennett : so you 're telling me on the record that you believe erica kane is innocent . greenlee : yes . i am . [ scene_break ] liza : oh . colby , honey , i -- i just think that he might be in a different place than you are . i think that he 's got a lot on his plate right now and -- well , i mean , as much as a guy might like you , they 're still a guy . and they might get a little nervous when you talk about commitment , especially at this age . colby : so what are you saying ? are you saying damon wants to see other girls ? liza : no , what i 'm saying is that -- honey , love is an amazing thing and so is commitment . but you see , it only works if two people are committed . colby : so you 're saying damon 's playing me . liza : i 'm -- i -- i 'm just afraid that your heart will get broken . colby : thanks , mom . i am so glad we had this talk . liza : colby , honey , i just -- i want to make sure that , you know -- that you 're really happy . colby : telling me that damon 's gon na shred my heart open -- that 's supposed to make me feel happy ? liza : no . that 's not what i meant . i -- colby : can you drive me to tad 's now , because i have a date with the `` heart shredder . `` [ scene_break ] damon : i have lied to your face . you 've seen me blacked out drunk . you 've seen me banged up at the hospital . you saved my ass from going to jail . tad : more than once . damon : more than once , so just explain to me why the hell you want to take on something you could just -- easily walk away from . tad : you 're not a screw - up . you 're simply trying to find your way . there 's nothing wrong with that . and if i can help you get there somehow , it means i 've done my job as a father . i do n't expect it to be easy . you know what i did to thank my parents after they adopted me ? i stole their car . so if you think you 've got the market cornered on being a screw - up , think again . check it out -- i turned out pretty good . not half the jackass i used to be . no matter what jake says . you 're my son . i 'm proud of you . nothing 's gon na change that . i do n't care what mistakes you 've made in the past , and i do n't care what mistakes you 're gon na make in the future . i 'll always be proud of you . damon : so there is nothing that i could do that would make you walk away ? tad : not a thing . [ doorbell rings ] tad : excuse me . hey , girls . right on time . [ scene_break ] bob : the rangers said the woman that crashed into your house was some kind of big - deal celebrity . caleb : not a fan of the rags , bob . bob : what was she like ? caleb : stubborn , demanding , and asked way too many questions . bob : oh , trouble , huh ? caleb : from the moment she fell out of the sky . [ scene_break ] bianca : you definitely need to look somewhere else , because my mother is innocent . agent bennett : well , the answer is here . all we have to do is find it . bianca : that went well . erica : because of your short - sighted scheme , you have put this company in jeopardy . bianca : hey , hey , what happened to working together ? ryan : working together ? you two are working together now ? bianca : they 're trying . greenlee : what are you doing here ? i fired you . erica : could we please stick to the subject at hand ? greenlee : i am . fusion is out of business until agent bennett arrests somebody . erica : well , that stupid check move that you made . surely he saw that as a cover - up . you should 've let me handle it . greenlee : he wants to arrest you . erica : is n't that what you want ? greenlee : i just want you gone . ryan : ok , ok , everybody . this is n't gon na solve any problem , all right ? madison : you just need someone to blame , right ? what about me ? i could take the fall . [ scene_break ] colby : wait a second . so the three of you sat around here and watched a movie together . damon : we did n't even break anything . tad : classic family bonding . i say we make it a weekly occurrence , you know ? just another perk of being a martin . damon : ha ha . tad : i told damon that i wanted to adopt him , make it official . colby : that 's great . liza : yeah , that 's great . tad : we still got some hurdles to overcome , you know , a little paperwork , and then there 's hillary . the one i really care about is damon , and i 'm still kind of waiting for a go - ahead . damon : hey , if my mom agrees -- i 'm a martin . [ tad chuckles as he hugs damon ] [ scene_break ] madison : i mean , erica has done so much for me at the miranda center and giving me a job when i had zero qualifications -- ryan : well , that does n't mean that you take the heat for something that you did n't do . madison : yeah , but like greenlee said , i 've already been fired . all you have to do is tell the s.e.c . that i was in charge of the books , i made a clerical error , and you fired me . greenlee : this is great . it 's perfect . it 's so good , i might even rehire you . ryan : oh , ok ! everybody -- there 's no way in hell that this is gon na happen , ok ? greenlee : if she offered -- ryan : you could go to prison . you realize that , right ? you know that ? madison : well , i 'd get a lawyer . bianca : it 's a very serious crime , madison . madison : yeah , but if it was a mistake , and there 's an explanation and everybody vouched for me -- ryan : ok , well , you could still go to jail , `` a `` ; `` b , `` think about the consequences even if you do n't . you would be on record for causing an accounting screw - up that opened an s.e.c . investigation . with that kind of tag , you would probably never get a job . madison : there 's got ta be some kind of way to make it work . erica : madison , thank you . it means a lot , the lengths you would go to help . thank you very , very much , but i wo n't let you take the blame for this . listen , why do n't -- why do n't you two go and let us deal with this ? ryan : that sounds good to me . come on . let 's go . greenlee : ha . you just got rid of our best hope of getting out of this mess . erica : greenlee , i think enough damage has been done . we do n't need to hurt any more innocent people . greenlee : but you 're not gon na get anything better than madison taking the fall . erica : you must 've noticed how protective ryan is of her . that 's why you 're so anxious to throw that poor girl to the wolves . you will do anything to keep her away from him . greenlee : i 'm only thinking about what 's best for fusion . bianca : so that means we have to find something else -- quick . erica : well , madison was right about one thing . we do certainly need someone to blame , and i know exactly who the creep is . you 're married to him . [ scene_break ] tad : so now that paul 's agreed to the adoption , i figure i 'll talk to hillary tomorrow morning , if she calls me back . colby : that is amazing . what do you say we go celebrate with some -- both : chili cheese fries ? liza : uh , excuse me . do n't you have an interview to prep for tomorrow ? colby : yes , but like you said , all i have to do is know what i want and go for it . you ready ? tad : not yet . one more . damon : ohh . tad : see you later . damon : ok . tad : good . liza : wow . adoption ? tad : yeah . adoption . why not ? i think this will make all the difference in the world . once he finds out i 'm behind him 100 % , then he 'll start to trust me . liza : oh , tad , i hope he knows how lucky he is to have you on his side . tad : whoa . well , you 're obviously enthusiastic about the idea . liza : so i ran into paul miller at the casino . tad : i can only imagine what he had to say . liza : well , he said that damon has done some pretty destructive things -- tad : ok , fine . i know he 's not a choir boy . he 's working on it . liza : i 'm just saying -- i think you better look into this a little further before you go ahead with this adoption . tad : and what ? you think if i find out he 's damaged goods , i 'm gon na return him ? cut him loose ? no . no matter what happens , i 'm in this for the long haul . [ scene_break ] jack : the stones on you showing up here . of course , i guess it makes it easier for me to have you arrested for drugging bianca , since you 're already in a police station . david : i do n't know what you 're talking about . jack : of course not . the day will come . david : until it does , how about a truce ? jack : how about you kiss -- david : all right , look , i know you do n't like me . i accept that . but greenlee loves you . i love her . i want her to be happy . which means having you in her life . having your love , your approval . jack : my approval ? on what , david ? on marrying you ? on framing erica for embezzlement , on having something to do with her plane crash ? on which of those would you like my approval ? david : father 's day was very difficult for greenlee this year . jack : yeah , it was a little tough for me , too . wondering if my daughter was complicit in the attempted murder of my fiancée . david : there was no attempted murder , jack . jack : why am i even talking to you ? get the hell away from me . david : you missed years of your daughter 's life . you lost her once . she 's back . how can you treat her like this ? jack : i 'd love to be a part of my daughter 's life , but as long as she 's with you , under your influence , drifting further and further away from me every day , i do n't see how that 's possible . david : greenlee will never truly be happy as long as she 's at odds with you . jack : let me try to make this perfectly clear for you . i do n't see my daughter and i having any kind of relationship until you 're in prison . or dead . [ scene_break ] greenlee : you 've just been waiting for this , have n't you ? bianca : you 've got to admit , it 's a really good idea . greenlee : serve up david to take the heat ? forget it . erica : he 's responsible . he 's the one who did it . he 's responsible . he 's the logical choice . greenlee : you would do anything to split us up . erica : i do n't give a damn if you 're together with david or not . in truth , i think you deserve each other . i am merely proposing the best and legitimate way to solve this problem . greenlee : throw my husband in prison ? erica : he 's guilty . he did set me up , and he sabotaged my plane . greenlee : those are vicious rumors and nothing more , so we need to come up with a better solution . bianca : you know she 's right , greenlee . you just do n't want to see it . greenlee : you 're not even a part of this company . bianca : the miranda center has my daughter 's name on it . erica : stop being so stubborn , greenlee . he does n't have a reputation to uphold . he 's been stripped of his medical license . he 's been involved in countless crimes . a few s.e.c . violations is nothing to a man like david . bianca : everyone would believe he 's guilty of manipulating the miranda line accounts . the case would be closed . fusion would be back on track . greenlee : well , for you , maybe . but what about david ? there 's no proof that he 's done anything wrong . bianca : i 'm proof . he drugged me . erica : what ? greenlee : what are you talking about ? bianca : i threatened to make a big scene at greenlee 's victory announcement , ruin her big party . he slipped something into my drink . i woke up in a room in the yacht club . erica : oh , my god . are you all right ? bianca : yes , i 'm fine . erica : well , that 's it . i am having him arrested . bianca : there 's no proof . the drugs are all out of my system . greenlee : he really did that to you ? bianca : are you surprised ? erica : look , it 's a very simple choice here . do you continue to blindly protect a man who would drug innocent people or worse , or do you save this company ? [ scene_break ] jack : thank you . you know , when you and greenlee first got married , i was pretty angry , pretty upset . but then i thought , `` hey , wait a minute , jack . who knows , you know ? maybe she 'll be a good influence on him . maybe she 'll change him , make him better somehow . `` but as it turns out , i hardly know who my daughter is anymore . david : greenlee is the same amazing woman she 's always been . jack : erica almost died because of greenlee or you or the both of you . david : she looks very much alive to me , jack . jack : oh , i see . so i 'm just supposed to let it go ? just forgive and forget because erica managed to somehow miraculously survive all that ? it 's not gon na happen . david : i 'm sorry to hear that -- for greenlee 's sake . jack : you know , you seem to be laboring under the misconception that because i 'm not mopping the floor with you right now that somehow i 'm not dangerous , but you see , you 're wrong about that . i 'm just waiting , just biding my time , waiting for you to let down your guard . and then you 'll see how dangerous i really am . [ scene_break ] madison : how bad can prison be ? martha stewart survived , right ? ryan : i would n't test it . madison : i 'm pretty tough now . i could be leader of a gang on the inside . ryan : ok , maybe you need to watch a little less late night cable . madison : i can take the heat at fusion . i 'm willing to do it . ryan : you 're either nuts or you 're very , very brave . madison : this is the second time you 've called me brave . if you say it again , i might actually start to believe you . ryan : you are brave . ok , and a little nuts , but i like it . [ scene_break ] david : you could n't stop them ? greenlee : we 'll figure something out . agent bennett : we 'll be in touch . bianca : what now ? greenlee : i need to get out of here . erica : ok , fine . and while you 're off enjoying your free time , please think very carefully about your priorities . [ sighs ] have i told you how happy i am to have you here ? even if it 's for just a short time . bianca : there 's no place i 'd rather be . erica : i am sorry , however , that you had to leave your -- your wife and your kids to come back to such a mess . bianca : oh . it 's never neat and tidy around here . erica : true . bianca : would you please sit down before you pass out ? erica : ok . bianca : only you would almost die on some mountain and then -- ahh , come back immediately into battle . erica : well , now , what was i supposed to do ? was i supposed to just lie down in my hospital bed ? bianca : um , yes . you still have n't told me about all that . you must 've been really scared . erica : well , i was afraid that sometimes i was n't coming back . but actually , i was lucky . i was lucky because i was n't alone . bianca : krystal said that caleb guy was a little scary . erica : yeah , he was . drove me crazy sometimes , too . sometimes i wanted to wring his neck , but -- he saved my life . more than once . erica 's voice : you were running from something . life . love . all the things that real living entails . you could have that all again , you know . caleb : have what ? erica : the things i 've been talking about . joy . love . hope . [ scene_break ] bob : well , if you 're sure you do n't want to rebuild -- caleb : i 'm sure . bob : yeah ? what was that woman 's name , anyway ? caleb : dorothy . bob : dorothy . [ scene_break ] liza : well , i mean , paul did n't go into any details about it , but what he was saying was pretty clear , that what damon has done is a little bit more serious than just teenage hijinks . tad : liza , who cares what paul miller says ? he 's a complete failure as a father . now he 's just piling on the poor kid to -- to make himself feel better . liza : tad , honey , i just do n't want you to get hurt . tad : you better understand something . it would mean a lot to me if you were on board with this adoption . liza : i am . i am . [ scene_break ] colby : it 's gon na be weird , you know that ? damon : what 's gon na be weird ? colby : your -- well , tad adopting you . and your dad dating my mom . it 's weird . i mean , not that it 's not already weird . it 's weird . it 's confusing . i do n't know -- it 's like one minute , i think i have it all figured out , and then the next , i do n't know . it 's like maybe i 'm the one all over the place -- damon : what are you talking about right now ? colby : at the hospital -- i told you i loved you , and you did n't say it back . oh -- damon : i knew this was coming . you 're freaked . colby : no , i 'm not freaked . i 'm -- ok , maybe i am a little bit . love is a big word , and -- [ damon sighs ] colby : whatever . it 's really not a big deal . damon : no , it is a big deal . i did n't say it back . i could n't say it back to you because -- everything that went down with bailey . i said that to her , and it really wrecked me . i 'm just trying not to mess up anymore , you know ? so i 'm probably a little -- gun - shy . but -- i really do think that we have something . colby : i think we have something , too . and i know guys are different . i know girls are all about the words and guys are n't , but that does n't change how we feel about one another . damon : yeah . colby : you know what the crazy thing is , is my mother helped me figure that out . [ laughs ] what are you doing ? you got a phone call coming in ? damon : no . no , no . i 'm all yours . [ scene_break ] liza : ok , so if you have all of these , you got ta have that one where that guy says , `` i lurve you `` instead of `` i love you . `` tad : of course . why are you so outside your genre ? why do you talk about all these movies with the `` l `` word in it ? liza : well , because colby and i had a little talk today about the male species and commitment . tad : ooh . i 'd love to hear about that . liza : yeah , well , she wanted to know about my past relationships , you know , and like , who said what first . tad : ah . you mean like the `` l `` word . liza : yeah . exactly . tad : yeah , well -- come on . it was so long ago . who remembers who said what first ? liza : i do . it was you . tad : it was not . liza : it was you . tad : it was not . liza : it was you . you said , `` i lurf you . `` tad : i said `` lurf . `` liza : you said `` lurf . `` tad : i 've never said `` lurf `` in my entire life . liza : i distinctly remember you saying , `` i lurf you . `` tad : did not . liza : ok , you have to shut up because you said it , and i lurf you , too . and i want to kiss you . tad : really ? liza : yeah , really . tad : cool . because i lurf that , too . [ scene_break ] ryan : you are just full of surprises . madison : yeah . yeah , i helped a plane crash survivor sneak out of the hospital . i almost volunteered myself to go to prison for the rest of my life for stealing money from a charity that i did n't steal any money from . not quite sure how i 'm gon na top those surprises . ryan : maybe i need to be the one doing a little surprising .

[ scene_break ] david : this is a disaster waiting to happen . erica 's gon na throw you under the bus the first chance she gets . greenlee : because that 's what we would do ? david : erica 's gon na use you to save fusion , and then she 's gon na destroy you in the process . i wo n't let that happen . greenlee : i know exactly what erica 's capable of . but if she 's willing to help me after what we -- david : ok , you see ? when you start talking like that , i 'm even more convinced it 's a mistake to trust her . greenlee : until we get the s.e.c . to back off , i do n't have a choice . david : i 'll go talk to them -- greenlee : no ! no . you 're going . david : i 'm not leaving you alone with erica and bianca . greenlee : you will only make this harder , because you 're not on board . david : and for good reason . greenlee : i need to do it alone , david . full attention on fusion , erica , the s.e.c . , fixing this . you 'll only be in the way . i 'll call you later . so let 's do this . i 'm in . well , since you 've taken it upon yourself to shut down my company -- our company , we have every right to see every single paper used in this investigation . agent bennett : there 's a clear trail showing money designated for the miranda center was diverted to another account . erica : that 's impossible . greenlee : i 'm sure there was an accounting error . agent bennett : unless that 's proven , fusion will remain closed for business . greenlee : well , if you 'll just give me the exact figure , i 'll just write a check to the miranda center . error corrected . fusion open for business . agent bennett : [ scoffs ] writing a check does n't change the fact that a crime has been committed . erica : well , you 're looking straight at me . i guess you 've decided already that i 'm guilty . but i would never take money from the miranda center . bianca : the charity is named after my daughter . my mother 's made huge donations . agent bennett : not so long ago , ms. kane was convicted of insider trading . erica : and i pled guilty to those charges , and i fired my advisors who got me into that mess . i mean , this seems like a witch hunt . well , i 'm certainly not gon na let you victimize me or -- or our company . greenlee : my partner is right . to take an accounting error and blow it out of proportion and turn it into a crime when no crime has been committed , it 's just wrong . agent bennett : so you 're telling me on the record that you believe erica kane is innocent . greenlee : yes . i am . [ scene_break ] liza : oh . colby , honey , i -- i just think that he might be in a different place than you are . i think that he 's got a lot on his plate right now and -- well , i mean , as much as a guy might like you , they 're still a guy . and they might get a little nervous when you talk about commitment , especially at this age . colby : so what are you saying ? are you saying damon wants to see other girls ? liza : no , what i 'm saying is that -- honey , love is an amazing thing and so is commitment . but you see , it only works if two people are committed . colby : so you 're saying damon 's playing me . liza : i 'm -- i -- i 'm just afraid that your heart will get broken . colby : thanks , mom . i am so glad we had this talk . liza : colby , honey , i just -- i want to make sure that , you know -- that you 're really happy . colby : telling me that damon 's gon na shred my heart open -- that 's supposed to make me feel happy ? liza : no . that 's not what i meant . i -- colby : can you drive me to tad 's now , because i have a date with the `` heart shredder . `` [ scene_break ] damon : i have lied to your face . you 've seen me blacked out drunk . you 've seen me banged up at the hospital . you saved my ass from going to jail . tad : more than once . damon : more than once , so just explain to me why the hell you want to take on something you could just -- easily walk away from . tad : you 're not a screw - up . you 're simply trying to find your way . there 's nothing wrong with that . and if i can help you get there somehow , it means i 've done my job as a father . i do n't expect it to be easy . you know what i did to thank my parents after they adopted me ? i stole their car . so if you think you 've got the market cornered on being a screw - up , think again . check it out -- i turned out pretty good . not half the jackass i used to be . no matter what jake says . you 're my son . i 'm proud of you . nothing 's gon na change that . i do n't care what mistakes you 've made in the past , and i do n't care what mistakes you 're gon na make in the future . i 'll always be proud of you . damon : so there is nothing that i could do that would make you walk away ? tad : not a thing .

[ scene_break ] bob : the rangers said the woman that crashed into your house was some kind of big - deal celebrity . caleb : not a fan of the rags , bob . bob : what was she like ? caleb : stubborn , demanding , and asked way too many questions . bob : oh , trouble , huh ? caleb : from the moment she fell out of the sky . [ scene_break ] bianca : you definitely need to look somewhere else , because my mother is innocent . agent bennett : well , the answer is here . all we have to do is find it . bianca : that went well . erica : because of your short - sighted scheme , you have put this company in jeopardy . bianca : hey , hey , what happened to working together ? ryan : working together ? you two are working together now ? bianca : they 're trying . greenlee : what are you doing here ? i fired you . erica : could we please stick to the subject at hand ? greenlee : i am . fusion is out of business until agent bennett arrests somebody . erica : well , that stupid check move that you made . surely he saw that as a cover - up . you should 've let me handle it . greenlee : he wants to arrest you . erica : is n't that what you want ? greenlee : i just want you gone . ryan : ok , ok , everybody . this is n't gon na solve any problem , all right ? madison : you just need someone to blame , right ? what about me ? i could take the fall . [ scene_break ] colby : wait a second . so the three of you sat around here and watched a movie together . damon : we did n't even break anything . tad : classic family bonding . i say we make it a weekly occurrence , you know ? just another perk of being a martin . damon : ha ha . tad : i told damon that i wanted to adopt him , make it official . colby : that 's great . liza : yeah , that 's great . tad : we still got some hurdles to overcome , you know , a little paperwork , and then there 's hillary . the one i really care about is damon , and i 'm still kind of waiting for a go - ahead . damon : hey , if my mom agrees -- i 'm a martin . [ tad chuckles as he hugs damon ] [ scene_break ] madison : i mean , erica has done so much for me at the miranda center and giving me a job when i had zero qualifications -- ryan : well , that does n't mean that you take the heat for something that you did n't do . madison : yeah , but like greenlee said , i 've already been fired . all you have to do is tell the s.e.c . that i was in charge of the books , i made a clerical error , and you fired me . greenlee : this is great . it 's perfect . it 's so good , i might even rehire you . ryan : oh , ok ! everybody -- there 's no way in hell that this is gon na happen , ok ? greenlee : if she offered -- ryan : you could go to prison . you realize that , right ? you know that ? madison : well , i 'd get a lawyer . bianca : it 's a very serious crime , madison . madison : yeah , but if it was a mistake , and there 's an explanation and everybody vouched for me -- ryan : ok , well , you could still go to jail , `` a `` ; `` b , `` think about the consequences even if you do n't . you would be on record for causing an accounting screw - up that opened an s.e.c . investigation . with that kind of tag , you would probably never get a job . madison : there 's got ta be some kind of way to make it work . erica : madison , thank you . it means a lot , the lengths you would go to help . thank you very , very much , but i wo n't let you take the blame for this . listen , why do n't -- why do n't you two go and let us deal with this ? ryan : that sounds good to me . come on . let 's go . greenlee : ha . you just got rid of our best hope of getting out of this mess . erica : greenlee , i think enough damage has been done . we do n't need to hurt any more innocent people . greenlee : but you 're not gon na get anything better than madison taking the fall . erica : you must 've noticed how protective ryan is of her . that 's why you 're so anxious to throw that poor girl to the wolves . you will do anything to keep her away from him . greenlee : i 'm only thinking about what 's best for fusion . bianca : so that means we have to find something else -- quick . erica : well , madison was right about one thing . we do certainly need someone to blame , and i know exactly who the creep is . you 're married to him . [ scene_break ] tad : so now that paul 's agreed to the adoption , i figure i 'll talk to hillary tomorrow morning , if she calls me back . colby : that is amazing . what do you say we go celebrate with some -- both : chili cheese fries ? liza : uh , excuse me . do n't you have an interview to prep for tomorrow ? colby : yes , but like you said , all i have to do is know what i want and go for it . you ready ? tad : not yet . one more . damon : ohh . tad : see you later . damon : ok . tad : good . liza : wow . adoption ? tad : yeah . adoption . why not ? i think this will make all the difference in the world . once he finds out i 'm behind him 100 % , then he 'll start to trust me . liza : oh , tad , i hope he knows how lucky he is to have you on his side . tad : whoa . well , you 're obviously enthusiastic about the idea . liza : so i ran into paul miller at the casino . tad : i can only imagine what he had to say . liza : well , he said that damon has done some pretty destructive things -- tad : ok , fine . i know he 's not a choir boy . he 's working on it . liza : i 'm just saying -- i think you better look into this a little further before you go ahead with this adoption . tad : and what ? you think if i find out he 's damaged goods , i 'm gon na return him ? cut him loose ? no . no matter what happens , i 'm in this for the long haul . [ scene_break ] jack : the stones on you showing up here . of course , i guess it makes it easier for me to have you arrested for drugging bianca , since you 're already in a police station . david : i do n't know what you 're talking about . jack : of course not . the day will come . david : until it does , how about a truce ? jack : how about you kiss -- david : all right , look , i know you do n't like me . i accept that . but greenlee loves you . i love her . i want her to be happy . which means having you in her life . having your love , your approval . jack : my approval ? on what , david ? on marrying you ? on framing erica for embezzlement , on having something to do with her plane crash ? on which of those would you like my approval ? david : father 's day was very difficult for greenlee this year . jack : yeah , it was a little tough for me , too . wondering if my daughter was complicit in the attempted murder of my fiancée . david : there was no attempted murder , jack . jack : why am i even talking to you ? get the hell away from me . david : you missed years of your daughter 's life . you lost her once . she 's back . how can you treat her like this ? jack : i 'd love to be a part of my daughter 's life , but as long as she 's with you , under your influence , drifting further and further away from me every day , i do n't see how that 's possible . david : greenlee will never truly be happy as long as she 's at odds with you . jack : let me try to make this perfectly clear for you . i do n't see my daughter and i having any kind of relationship until you 're in prison . or dead . [ scene_break ] greenlee : you 've just been waiting for this , have n't you ? bianca : you 've got to admit , it 's a really good idea . greenlee : serve up david to take the heat ? forget it . erica : he 's responsible . he 's the one who did it . he 's responsible . he 's the logical choice . greenlee : you would do anything to split us up . erica : i do n't give a damn if you 're together with david or not . in truth , i think you deserve each other . i am merely proposing the best and legitimate way to solve this problem . greenlee : throw my husband in prison ? erica : he 's guilty . he did set me up , and he sabotaged my plane . greenlee : those are vicious rumors and nothing more , so we need to come up with a better solution . bianca : you know she 's right , greenlee . you just do n't want to see it . greenlee : you 're not even a part of this company . bianca : the miranda center has my daughter 's name on it . erica : stop being so stubborn , greenlee . he does n't have a reputation to uphold . he 's been stripped of his medical license . he 's been involved in countless crimes . a few s.e.c . violations is nothing to a man like david . bianca : everyone would believe he 's guilty of manipulating the miranda line accounts . the case would be closed . fusion would be back on track . greenlee : well , for you , maybe . but what about david ? there 's no proof that he 's done anything wrong . bianca : i 'm proof . he drugged me . erica : what ? greenlee : what are you talking about ? bianca : i threatened to make a big scene at greenlee 's victory announcement , ruin her big party . he slipped something into my drink . i woke up in a room in the yacht club . erica : oh , my god . are you all right ? bianca : yes , i 'm fine . erica : well , that 's it . i am having him arrested . bianca : there 's no proof . the drugs are all out of my system . greenlee : he really did that to you ? bianca : are you surprised ? erica : look , it 's a very simple choice here . do you continue to blindly protect a man who would drug innocent people or worse , or do you save this company ? [ scene_break ] jack : thank you . you know , when you and greenlee first got married , i was pretty angry , pretty upset . but then i thought , `` hey , wait a minute , jack . who knows , you know ? maybe she 'll be a good influence on him . maybe she 'll change him , make him better somehow . `` but as it turns out , i hardly know who my daughter is anymore . david : greenlee is the same amazing woman she 's always been . jack : erica almost died because of greenlee or you or the both of you . david : she looks very much alive to me , jack . jack : oh , i see . so i 'm just supposed to let it go ? just forgive and forget because erica managed to somehow miraculously survive all that ? it 's not gon na happen . david : i 'm sorry to hear that -- for greenlee 's sake . jack : you know , you seem to be laboring under the misconception that because i 'm not mopping the floor with you right now that somehow i 'm not dangerous , but you see , you 're wrong about that . i 'm just waiting , just biding my time , waiting for you to let down your guard . and then you 'll see how dangerous i really am . [ scene_break ] madison : how bad can prison be ? martha stewart survived , right ? ryan : i would n't test it . madison : i 'm pretty tough now . i could be leader of a gang on the inside . ryan : ok , maybe you need to watch a little less late night cable . madison : i can take the heat at fusion . i 'm willing to do it . ryan : you 're either nuts or you 're very , very brave . madison : this is the second time you 've called me brave . if you say it again , i might actually start to believe you . ryan : you are brave . ok , and a little nuts , but i like it .

( laughs ) ashley : ( sighs ) i can hope . jack : well , you do know how to make an entrance . tucker : i knew you 'd roll with it , jack . you 're a master at handling whatever 's thrown your way . jack : well , when you 've been in this business as long as i have ... well , that 's how i know you could roll out this new line really quickly . tucker : you did a good job of getting ashley 's line out while she could n't be at jabot . jack : ashley and i have always stepped up for each other . always will . tucker : you 're a good brother . excuse me . kay : ahh , good . victor : there you are . kay : i 'm so happy you could make it . victor : i think someone wants to take a picture . kay : mm - hmm . victor : there we go . ( camera shutter clicks ) victor : so ... kay : ( sighs ) victor : i 'm surprised to see tucker here . kay : yeah , all of us are surprised to see tucker here . victor : mm - hmm . he certainly looks different than he did last time i saw him in the hospital . kay : well , he had a few bad moments , but , uh ... victor : ( sighs ) kay : he 's here . he 's healthy , and i am ... i 'm grateful . victor : well ... i just hope that he returned that gratitude . all the things you have done for him during his absence ... tucker : victor . victor : tucker . tucker : how you doing ? victor : how the hell are you ? tucker : good to see you here . victor : nice to see you . tucker : it 's big night for mccall and jabot , huh ? victor : you bet . you bet . i wonder what the numbers will say . tucker : i think you 'll be surprised . victor : mm - hmm . tucker : would you excuse us ? i would like to have a word with my mother . victor : of course you would . jill : this is the concealer . now this is two products in one . it is genius . once you use it , you wo n't want anything else . ( chuckles ) okay . lauren : what a night ! the buzz is unbelievable . jill : ( sighs ) lauren : you still thinking about billy ? has he called ? ( sighs ) you know , jill , maybe he just needs to deal with this on his own . jill : you have more faith in him than i do . lauren : do you want me to stay and close up so you can go and try and find him ? jill : i would n't know where to start . lauren : well , if you change your mind , the offer stands . jill : thanks . jill : ( sighs ) uh , yeah . hi , billy , um , look , i know that you 're really upset with me , okay ? but i want to talk to you . i hate the way we left things . victoria : hi . ( sighs ) victor : there you are . i did n't think you were gon na show up . i was gon na bring you a gift bag . victoria : dad , i 'm sorry , but i needed -- i need to talk to jack for just a minute , okay ? jack , i - i need to talk to you and ashley , and -- and jill , if she 's around . jack : yeah . what 's wrong ? jill : what 's going on ? victoria : ( sighs ) its billy . i need your help . [ scene_break ] ( cell phone rings ) abby : ( clears throat ) first mom , and now you . ( cell phone clatters ) abby : not in the mood . [ scene_break ] victor : abby , your mother told me what happened tonight , so kindly let 's talk about it , okay ? give me a call . ( camera shutter clicks ) kay : ( sighs ) well , you , uh , see ? it 's a smashing success . tucker : yeah . i 'm glad i could be here . kay : well , it 's very good to see you out of that horrible hospital room . uh , are you sure that you 're well enough to be here ? i mean , you should be home resting . i -- that i know . tucker : yeah . i bet you 'd like that . kay : tucker , i am only looking after your welfare . tucker : if that were true , you would have run mccall the way i wanted .
tucker arrives at the jabot launch party and makes a speech about how happy he is to be out of the hospital . when he goes blank about the sales demographics of the new product line , ashley takes over and answers questions from reporters . since a reporter asks tucker and ashley about their wedding , they admit that they got married while tucker was in the hospital . abby is shocked but pretends like she knew about the wedding and wishes her mom happiness . later she goes home and refuses to take phone calls from ashley or victor . tucker finds out from sofia that katherine put her on a paid leave of absence because she did n't like being questioned about her decisions . tucker reinstates sofia and tells katherine that he is ready to go back to work , because she went against the things he wanted to do with the company . tucker makes it clear to katherine that if she does n't step down , he will go to court to regain control of his company .
<s>[INST] jack : if you 'll indulge me just a few minutes more , there is someone here tonight that should be allowed to say a few words , someone who 's with us . jill : ( chuckles ) tucker : thank you , jack . i ca n't tell you how happy i am to share this moment with all of you . jill : did you know he was getting out of the hospital ? kay : the mother is the last to know . jack : ladies and gentlemen , tucker mccall , direct from his hospital to be with us tonight . sofia : tucker . tucker : hey , sof . sofia : welcome back . tucker : aw . it 's good to be here . sofia : mm . jack : how fortuitous for us to have the c.e.o . of the parent company to be part of the celebration this evening . tucker , how you doing ? tucker : i 'm doing great , jack . thankful to be alive . jack : well , we at jabot are very grateful for the confidence you have shown in all of us since we have been under the mccall , unlimited umbrella . as you know , jabot is not just another acquisition . it is a family company , rich with history with products that have stood the test of time , and i know this latest and greatest endeavor on our part is every bit as important to you as it is to us . i , for one , would like to thank you for your unwavering support .

( sighs ) do you think you feel worse because you sense a growing distance between the two of you , or because you regret not having asked him to stay ? [ scene_break ] christina : uh , mr. mccall , how do you plan to create a brand awareness on a personal level , and how will you integrate cohesiveness with social media ? ( camera shutters clicking ) tucker : you know what ? i think i 'll defer to the expert for that . ashley : jabot has a comprehensive marketing strategy in place that spans multi - platforms . the details can be found in your press kits , but suffice it to say that we believe our web site at www.shopjabot . com will be a huge factor in the success of our products . in short , they work . now ... ( applause ) ashley : our overnight sensation collection with our exclusive miracules complex is a blend of three anti - agers that are targeted specifically for antiaging . now it does contain cactus pectin . i believe we 're changing the face of cosmetics -- pun intended . audience : ( laughs ) ashley : one last thing -- our five star wrinkle serum was formulated without adding water . now no dilution means that we 're able to supercharge the potency of our ingredients , and all of our products have been clinically proven to provide super hydration for the skin . now this means we are targeting skin damage . we are erasing and repairing the appearance of stubborn lines and wrinkles . now i could go on and on , and apparently , i am . so i will just let the products speak for themselves . audience : ( chuckles ) ( applause ) abby : ( cheering ) jack : be sure to pick up a sample package on your way out . lauren : and wait till you try the dramatic defense night cream . it 's fantastic . ashley : on a personal note , i am so happy to be here tonight with two of my favorite men in the world -- tucker mccall and my brother jack abbott . jack : ( chuckles ) ashley : congratulations . tucker : thank you . jack : enjoy the rest of your evening . christina : uh , one more question , ms. abbott . ashley : last one , christina . christina : while i was doing some research , i came across a signed marriage license on file for an ashley abbott and tucker mccall .

( chuckles ) anyway , um , one of their major talking points was accountability -- you know , being real about the way you see things and the way you see people . and after i took a real long look , i realized that maybe i had been too harsh . my mom has been through so much , and she has sacrificed so much . she deserves to be happy . ( applause ) lauren : it 's nice to see abby pulling it together . abby : he 's the one who puts a smile on her face . ashley : ( laughs ) that 's true . tucker : and i plan to do that for the rest of our lives . ashley : ( laughs ) abby : how -- how can i object to that ? jack : are you buyin ' this ? woman : can i get a picture of the new family ? abby : oh , of course . up close , on , or off ? ashley : abby ! abby : i 'm joking . i 'm joking . tucker : ( laughs ) abby : ( laughs ) [ scene_break ] victoria : you know , i really thought that billy and i were forever . i thought we would always live in this house , and that we 'd have children and we 'd have grandchildren . victor : it 's very hard to let go of that dream , is n't it ? victoria : but he 's not the man that i married , and i just -- i ca n't watch him self - destruct . it 's just too painful . victor : yeah . i wish there was something that i could do to help . victoria : you are . you 're helping . i just feel bad for the kids , you know ? victor : ( sighs ) their lives have been turned upside down . you know , my baby , billy is struggling with his demons . victoria : should i help him ? victor : ( exhales deeply ) what i 'm about to say has nothing to do with my feelings about billy . but let me warn you -- you can not solve his problems for him . you ca n't do that . he has to do that himself . if you take that upon yourself , and if you decide to fix his problems , it 'll come back to haunt you and him , just like the drinking did your mother . victoria : yeah , you 're right . ( sniffles ) victor : i do n't want you to ... i want you to be very careful . i want you to protect yourself . i do n't want him to drag you down with him . victoria : okay . victor : please be careful ? victoria : yes .

whitney : hey . merry christmas . chad : you , too . thanks . but i 'm -- i 'm guessing it does n't feel much like christmas what with your parents going to finalize their divorce at court today . whitney : in spite of everything my mother -- our mother has done -- chad : yeah , it still sounds weird for me to say that , too . whitney : yeah . in spite of how angry i was with her , i still did n't think they would really go through with the divorce . i thought somehow , someway , some miracle was going to happen and things were going to go back to the way they were . chad : yeah , well , sometimes miracles happen and sometimes they 're just not meant to . whitney : well , i -- i definitely do n't want to be there to see it today , but i do n't have a choice , you know ? i have to be there for my father , so i will . chad : well , at least you 'll have fox there to support you . whitney : no . he was planning on coming , but he just got put in charge of this big , new project , so he wo n't be able to . he 's too busy . chad : yeah , i know , but you should n't go alone . whitney : well , i do n't have a choice . chad : yes , you do . let me come with you . ethan : hey , you know that -- that is probably the most beautiful christmas tree i 've ever seen . little ethan : mommy and i made the decorations all by ourselves . gwen : yes . ethan : no , you did n't . little ethan : yes , we did . gwen : and this little guy has been so good , i think we should take him to see santa before mass . ethan : santa ? i agree . little ethan : santa ? i have to go get my list ! ethan : so you seem like you 're in a better mood . gwen : look , i 'm just trying to put all this -- this stuff theresa 's done to us aside for little ethan 's sake . i want him to have the best christmas ever . ethan : good . i agree . and what do you want for christmas , little girl ? gwen : i want those d.n.a . test results , i want proof that that baby is mine , and i want theresa out of our lives for good . theresa : it 's christmas and little ethan is with ethan and gwen instead of his mother . christmas is all about a mother and son and i 'm not with mine . pilar : bueno , theresa , cuantas veces te lo dije ? i warned you that if you followed through with this plan of yours to keep the baby from ethan and gwen , this would happen . theresa : she is my baby , mama . she 's not gwen 's and that d.n.a . test is going to prove it . pilar : ay , theresa , you do n't know that for sure . theresa : no , i do know , mama . i know it in my heart . gwen has already taken one of my children from me . she is not going to take my little girl . i 'm going to keep her . i 'm going to get little ethan back no matter what . tabitha : ooh ! ooh , my devil this is heavy . ooh ! oh . that beth wallace is the dumbest mortal in harmony , and that 's saying something . even precious figured out alistair 's clue , `` mother , `` meant that mrs .. wheeler was sheridan 's mother , katherine crane . huh . i practically had to spell it out syllable by syllable for beth . i think she 's finally grasped the obvious and worked it out on her own . and when she spills the beans , you know , luis is still going to hate katherine for running off with his father , ruining the family . but sheridan -- she wo n't be able to turn her back on her mother , so a big , old wedge is going to be put between harmony 's favorite lovers . mm - hmm . and it will only get wider and wider and wider . mm - hmm . mark my words , my little witchling , not only will there not be a wedding , but when the truth comes out , sheridan and luis wo n't even be speaking to one another . how 's that ? how 's that ? sheridan : you know , this is going to be the best christmas ever . luis : well , i think the day after is going to be even better . sheridan : hmm . luis : we 're finally going to be legally married . sheridan : it 's going to be the best christmas present ever . luis : well , julian getting me my job back with a promotion to detective and back pay -- well , that was n't too shabby , either . sheridan : yeah , i told you he 's changed . luis : yeah . i 'm finally going to be able to buy my family a place to live . sheridan : you 're so close to your family , so protective . i just wish i had that growing up . luis : you do now . i 'm telling you , sheridan , family 's the most important thing to me . that 's why i could never forgive my father for abandoning us and taking off with mrs .. wheeler , and you know , i think that she 's just as much to blame as he is . what kind of a woman takes off with a man who 's left his wife and kids ? sheridan : i do n't know . luis : well , i want nothing to do with her . and i 'm glad you finally feel the same way despite whatever connection you had with her . sheridan : luis , she means nothing to me . all right ? you mean everything to me . you 're my husband - to - be , you 're my family . i love you . luis : i love you . beth : luis and sheridan are not going to get married . they 're not even going to be talking . mrs. wallace : why is that , bethie , huh ? because you have the magic word that alistair gave you , huh ? `` mother `` ? beth : yes , that 's right . mrs. wallace : you do n't even know -- you do n't even know what alistair meant . beth : i do now , after what tabitha told me last night . mrs. wallace : what ? what , that nonsense about katherine crane showing up at sheridan 's wedding ? not ! she 's in spirit , not in the flesh . beth : well , i got the impression tabitha thinks she is alive , and if she is , sheridan and luis will never get married . they 're going to be finished forever . 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 gwen : honey , i mean it . i want theresa out of our lives once and for all . i want this horrible nightmare with her to finally be over . i mean , this is theresa 's fault . all of this is her fault , starting with her knocking out our surrogate and tricking the doctors into implanting her with our embryo and then tricking you into sleeping with her by pretending she 's me ! it 's crazy ! ethan : hey , you know what ? i -- i should n't have gotten drunk , first of all . gwen : this is n't your fault . look , you thought your drinks had been drugged and i bet you 're right and i would guarantee that theresa was the one who did it . how else could she fool you into sleeping with her with a wig and perfume ? look , but at least one good thing has come out of this -- i do not at all have to worry about you having some lingering feelings for her . there 's no way you could after this . i am sure that you finally see her for the monster that she really is . pilar : theresa , you should at least consider the possibility the baby is gwen 's . theresa : no , i do n't , mama . she is mine and the d.n.a . test is going to prove it . pilar : maybe , maybe not . and if it does , theresa , i 'm afraid that the whole reason you did this is going to backfire . if you do n't give gwen this baby , you 're never going to get your son back . theresa : mama , i was n't the one that started all of this mess . ethan was going to marry me . he was going to spend his life with me until gwen got herself pregnant . plus , gwen and rebecca threw us out of our home . they got us fired from our jobs , they made it so we could n't find work anywhere in harmony , and worst of all , mama , they stole my child from me . pilar : there were other choices . theresa : i know there were other choices and i tried them , mama . i tried reasoning with gwen and rebecca , you know that . i begged them to give me my son back , but what did they do , mama ? they laughed at me . i tried to fight them in court , but they owned the judge . i did what any mother would do . pilar : right . and now there 's another baby to fight over . theresa : yes , there is , and she is mine , mama , and i will be damned if i let gwen take her , too . i 'm sorry , mama , but i have had enough . i do n't care how much power and money gwen or rebecca have . i 'm not backing down , ever again . i want little ethan back , i want ethan back , i want the baby that i made with ethan . i want every single thing that gwen has taken from me , and as god is my witness , i will get it . tabitha : endora , i ca n't wait to see what 's in this box . you know , there 's no card anywhere , but i think you 're right . i think this is from your daddy . [ endora babbles ] tabitha : yeah , i think it is ! you know , julian has plenty of cash , quite enough to splurge on something really fabulous . oh , hades , look at the damn time . kay 's going to be coming by any minute to take you on that christmas jaunt . [ tabitha laughs ] tabitha : i know , i know , but if she takes you to see santa claus , you remember what to do , right ? good girl , good girl ! none of that `` ho , ho , ho `` rubbish for you . but listen , you must remember that you have to be very discreet because we do n't want to arouse suspicion , all right ? ok . come on . let 's get you into something festive -- yeah . you know , i have never been so excited for christmas , but now i ca n't wait for christmas because i ca n't wait to see what 's in that box ! come on , my baby . mrs. wallace : hey ! hey , marty , look who 's here -- your daddy and your real step mommy . luis : whoa . hey , big guy ! mrs. wallace : boy . he could n't wait to get here to see you two . sheridan : oh . well , we 're so happy to see him . mrs. wallace : how are the wedding plans coming along ? luis : fine , fine . but you two are still coming , are n't you ? mrs. wallace : oh ! are you kidding ? we would n't miss that for the world , now , would we , bethie ? beth : uh - uh . mrs. wallace : i think it 's going to be the most beautiful wedding that harmony has ever seen . do n't you agree , bethie ? yeah , i knew she would . you two -- you two have been through so much . but , you know , it 's just like the fairy tale -- true love conquers all . you two are going to live happily ever after . i mean , you 're still planning to get married right after christmas , are n't you ? luis : set in stone . sheridan : yeah . mrs. wallace : hear that , bethie ? it 's set in stone ! beth : mm - hmm . i heard . mrs. wallace : well -- well , look , go on , go on -- take your son . beth : ok , ok . now you be good and have fun with your daddy and sheridan , ok ? mommy will see you later , ok ? luis : all right , all right , so -- beth : bye . luis : we 'll see you two in a couple of hours , all right ? mrs. wallace : yep . luis : marty . come on , son . mrs. wallace : bye - bye . oh . oh , bethie . did you ever see a more loving or a happy family ? beth : would you drop it , mother ? mrs. wallace : just like a storybook . beth : listen , make yourself helpful and tell me everything that you know about katherine crane . mrs. wallace : oh , no . are you still chasing that wild goose ? katherine crane is dead , d - e - a - d , dead and buried . beth : well , after tabitha 's speech at sheridan 's bridal shower , she alluded that katherine was still alive . mrs. wallace : tabitha is loony and she does n't know what she 's talking about . beth : i think she does . mrs. wallace : oh ! beth : and you do n't . i 'm going to go see her , and before she even realizes it , she 's going to be telling me everything she knows about katherine crane and mrs .. wheeler . mrs. wallace : bethie , honey , you 're wasting your time . you are -- come on , come on . why do n't you come with precious and me , huh , huh ? you know , after we have our hot chocolate , we 're going to go see santa claus because precious has been on the computer all morning long coming up with her list . hey , bethie ? beth : hmm ? mrs. wallace : maybe santa can tell you what alistair 's word means , huh ? beth : santa ca n't help me , but tabitha can . i know that she has the information that 's the key to breaking up luis and sheridan . mrs. wallace : oh -- huh ? oh . chill out . do n't get any ideas , huh ? what ? oh , yeah . i wish i could find luis under my tree , too , at christmas . but i 'm afraid that 's one item we 're going to have to cross off our christmas list . chad : let me come to the divorce hearing with you . let me be there for you . valerie : i 'm going to take these files to the conference room before i leave . have a merry christmas . chad : oh , you , too . come in . whitney : ok . chad : i thought we agreed to be friends . whitney : well , we did . chad : well , then let me be there for you as a friend , as a brother . come on , do n't shut me out . all right , let me be part of your life in the one way that i can be . whitney , i know how hard your parents ' separation has been on you . i know it 's made you question everything you believe about love . well , you should n't be alone at the divorce hearing . you should have somebody there when this all becomes final . and if fox is unavailable , let it be me . whitney : ok . yeah , i mean , i -- i definitely do n't want to be there alone . thank you . chad : good . whitney : it 's really happening , is n't it ? my parents ' marriage is over and it 's happening on christmas eve . chad : the court set the date , not them . whitney : i know . it 's just that christmas was always such a happy time for me and my family , but now this is going to be my christmas memory . chad : it 'll be all right . you 'll see . whitney : yeah . chad : come on . eve : so this is how it all ends . years of marriage , two children , a warm , loving home . and it was a warm , loving home , julian . julian : i know . i saw . eve : `` till death do us part . `` that 's the vow that t.c . and i made to each other and to god . oh , i know i made so many mistakes . i should 've told t.c . about my past , our past , and about the baby that we had together . but it was -- it was over long before i met him and i thought the baby had died and i -- i knew how much it would hurt him . julian : you kept quiet because of your love for t.c . eve : misplaced though it was . and you know , through it all , through the -- the separation and the divorce papers , i still thought that somehow we would get through this , that our family and our life was -- was so precious to us even though we were going down the -- down the rapids , we would n't go over the falls . but we have , thanks to liz . if she had n't kept poisoning t.c . 's mind against me , he might have found a way to forgive me . he might have listened to father lonigan . julian : well , he might have , but i believe he 's made his choice . eve : so , now we just stand here waiting for some judge to sign a decree that ends my marriage forever . merry christmas . eve : simone . honey , i did n't realize that you would be here . simone : i 'm not here for you , mother . i came to support daddy . this has been really hard on him . eve : it 's been really hard on me , too , simone . simone : yeah , right . eve : oh , god . i really have lost everything . santa : you be sure you put out some cookies and milk for santa tonight . ho , ho , ho ! i get so hungry flying around the world delivering presents . luis : all right , marty . you all set there , bud ? santa : hold it . the elf has to take our picture . elf : smile . [ shutter clicks ] luis : all right . come on . there we go . [ santa chuckles ] luis : oh , thank you . man : here 's santa claus . elf : well , you sure have your mommy 's eyes . sheridan : oh -- actually , i 'm not his mother . elf : oh , you could 've fooled me , and i see a lot of mothers and children . sheridan : hmm . elf : anyway , the picture will be ready in a minute . i 'll be right back . luis : great . marty , what do you say , huh ? go get some cocoa ? sheridan : you know what ? i will wait for santa 's helper to get that picture ready and i will meet you . luis : great . come on , bud . let 's go get some hot cocoa . come on . come on . elf : here you go . sheridan : great . thank you . elf : great photo . are you sure you 're not his mom ? sheridan : yeah , i 'm sure . hmm . hey , that elf is right . i never noticed it before , but marty and i do have the same eyes . tabitha : oh , beth , dear . what a surprise -- i do n't think . beth : i hope i 'm not disturbing you . tabitha : no , not at all . kay took endora and maria to see santa claus , so it 's just me and the christmas presents . beth : oh . tabitha : did you see that ? beth : hmm ? see what ? tabitha : that box just moved . beth : it did ? tabitha : yeah , well , and -- and i could 've sworn that a few minutes ago , it was over there . beth : oh . maybe you just had a little too much christmas cheer . tabitha : oh , well . maybe . so , what brings you by , dear ? beth : well , i 'm trying to find the perfect wedding gift for luis and sheridan . tabitha 's voice : i 'll bet you are . beth : and then , i thought maybe i could bring a bit of her mother into their lives , except i know next to nothing about her and then i remembered what you said at the bridal shower about being friends with katherine crane . tabitha : oh , yes . katherine and i used to hang out from time to time , share girl talk . beth : well , what was she like ? tabitha : oh , she was quite beautiful , really . i remember her face very clearly . i would recognize her in a minute if i saw her now . beth : oh , you mean , even after all these years ? tabitha : oh , in a heartbeat -- unless , of course , she 'd had as much plastic surgery as martin fitzgerald -- huh . oh , then i would n't -- beth : oh . tabitha : but then no one would , of course . beth : yeah . pilar : theresa ? theresa : yeah ? pilar : what are you doing ? this is crazy , mija . you ca n't sneak into the crane mansion in broad daylight . if someone catches you , mija , they will throw you in jail , and gwen and rebecca will make sure they throw away the key . theresa : mama , they 're not going to see me , ok , and it 's worth the risk . i have got to see my son . it is christmas and i do n't want him to think that his mother does n't care enough to visit him on christmas eve ! pilar : oh , theresa -- theresa : i got to go . pilar : theresa , van aca ! theresa : mama , relax . pilar : if someone sees you -- oh , my god -- they will throw you in jail and then you will never see your son until he 's all grown up . theresa : mama , this is my son . it is christmas . what would you do ? pilar : i would do whatever i had to do , theresa , but this is -- theresa : that 's exactly what i 'm doing , mama . please , just keep an eye out for security , ok ? i love you . pilar : theresa ? oh , my god . ay . dios mio , por favor , protégé mi hijack . do n't let anything worse happen to her . gwen : who this is quite a list . ethan : yeah . little ethan : nanny helped me . gwen : i do n't see how santa is going to be able to resist bringing you everything you want . little ethan : really ? gwen : mm - hmm . ethan : yeah , i would n't be surprised . but you know what ? right now , you need to take a little nap because it 's going to be a late night , and when you wake up , we 're going to go right down to the park and make sure that santa gets this list personally . what do you think ? little ethan : oh , boy ! ethan : yeah , yeah , oh , boy . all right . gwen : there you go . ethan : you 'll go to sleep , right ? gwen : sweet dreams , sweetheart . we 'll see you in a bit . gwen : will you do me a favor ? ethan : yeah . gwen : just look in on him every now and then . i really do n't trust theresa . ethan : honey , what could she possibly do here at the mansion ? gwen : she has snuck in here before and i would not put it past her to try to do it again . ethan : it 's christmas eve . maybe we should let her see him . gwen : no . he is our son . legally , honey , he 's our son . i do n't want her anywhere near him . ethan : ok , ok , ok . i will check on him . gwen : thank you . ethan : you 're welcome . pilar : oh , my god . why did she stop ? oh , dear lord , please . please do n't let her get caught . do n't let the situation get any worse . gwen : ethan , are you coming ? ethan : yeah , just a sec . gwen : is -- is something wrong ? ethan : no . no , i just wanted to give little ethan a kiss good night , that 's all . gwen : ok . [ inaudible ] luis : what 's up ? sheridan : luis , i 'm sorry , but i -- i feel something . i mean , every time i see him , i try to deny it , but i -- i ca n't . there 's -- there 's a bond , there 's a connection . luis : i know . and when he was born , beth was n't able to nurse him and you did , so you developed something special with him . oh , marty -- no , do n't put the candy cane in your hair . sheridan : look , i know the nursing created a bond . this is more than that . this is so much more . beth : of course ! if someone had plastic surgery to change their face , no one would recognize them , like no one recognized martin . tabitha : precisely . but you can catch by type . it 's another matter . be you ca n't well , what katherine crane body li p 's tabia : , . no be e yo bia : oh ! not ll be - wel ? tabi , 's you ouldtiont . a mr oft , s. w 's odis vmulihe 's . : h . tabitha : well , of course , she 's been dead for years , since sheridan was a little girl . beth : well , i feel like somebody told me once that she had n't really died , that she ran off with someone ? tabitha : oh , that was just rumors and gossip , dear , but i suppose it 's possible . beth : but if someone had plastic surgery , how would anyone know ? tabitha : hmm . well , actually , there is a way to recognize katherine . she had a very distinguishable birth mark on the back of her neck . i think it was sort of heart - shaped . so , if you find the birth mark , you 've found katherine . that 's if she 's still alive , of course . tabitha : are you sure you have to go so soon , dear ? you only just got here and we have n't had a chance to talk about what sort of wedding gift you want to get for sheridan and luis . beth : oh , well , do n't worry . i know exactly what i 'm going to get them . tabitha : i 'm counting on that , bethie dear . your little heart - shaped gift is going to rock luis and sheridan 's world like mount st . helens . speaking of gifts , it must almost be christmas somewhere , so i do n't think it would hurt if i just took the teensiest little peek inside here . judge : well , are you both still certain you want to dissolve this marriage ? t.c . : yes , your honor . i am . judge : dr. russell ? eve : i 'm in complete agreement , your honor . judge : then according to the laws of this state and the power vested in me as an officer of the court , i decree that the marriage of thorton chandler russell and eve russell is now and forever legally dissolved .

i agree . little ethan : santa ? i have to go get my list ! ethan : so you seem like you 're in a better mood . gwen : look , i 'm just trying to put all this -- this stuff theresa 's done to us aside for little ethan 's sake . i want him to have the best christmas ever . ethan : good . i agree . and what do you want for christmas , little girl ? gwen : i want those d.n.a . test results , i want proof that that baby is mine , and i want theresa out of our lives for good . theresa : it 's christmas and little ethan is with ethan and gwen instead of his mother . christmas is all about a mother and son and i 'm not with mine . pilar : bueno , theresa , cuantas veces te lo dije ? i warned you that if you followed through with this plan of yours to keep the baby from ethan and gwen , this would happen . theresa : she is my baby , mama . she 's not gwen 's and that d.n.a . test is going to prove it . pilar : ay , theresa , you do n't know that for sure . theresa : no , i do know , mama . i know it in my heart . gwen has already taken one of my children from me . she is not going to take my little girl . i 'm going to keep her . i 'm going to get little ethan back no matter what . tabitha : ooh ! ooh , my devil this is heavy . ooh ! oh . that beth wallace is the dumbest mortal in harmony , and that 's saying something . even precious figured out alistair 's clue , `` mother , `` meant that mrs .. wheeler was sheridan 's mother , katherine crane . huh . i practically had to spell it out syllable by syllable for beth . i think she 's finally grasped the obvious and worked it out on her own . and when she spills the beans , you know , luis is still going to hate katherine for running off with his father , ruining the family . but sheridan -- she wo n't be able to turn her back on her mother , so a big , old wedge is going to be put between harmony 's favorite lovers . mm - hmm . and it will only get wider and wider and wider . mm - hmm . mark my words , my little witchling , not only will there not be a wedding , but when the truth comes out , sheridan and luis wo n't even be speaking to one another . how 's that ? how 's that ? sheridan : you know , this is going to be the best christmas ever . luis : well , i think the day after is going to be even better . sheridan : hmm . luis : we 're finally going to be legally married . sheridan : it 's going to be the best christmas present ever . luis : well , julian getting me my job back with a promotion to detective and back pay -- well , that was n't too shabby , either . sheridan : yeah , i told you he 's changed . luis : yeah . i 'm finally going to be able to buy my family a place to live . sheridan : you 're so close to your family , so protective . i just wish i had that growing up . luis : you do now . i 'm telling you , sheridan , family 's the most important thing to me . that 's why i could never forgive my father for abandoning us and taking off with mrs .. wheeler , and you know , i think that she 's just as much to blame as he is . what kind of a woman takes off with a man who 's left his wife and kids ? sheridan : i do n't know . luis : well , i want nothing to do with her . and i 'm glad you finally feel the same way despite whatever connection you had with her . sheridan : luis , she means nothing to me . all right ? you mean everything to me . you 're my husband - to - be , you 're my family . i love you . luis : i love you . beth : luis and sheridan are not going to get married . they 're not even going to be talking . mrs. wallace : why is that , bethie , huh ? because you have the magic word that alistair gave you , huh ? `` mother `` ? beth : yes , that 's right . mrs. wallace : you do n't even know -- you do n't even know what alistair meant . beth : i do now , after what tabitha told me last night . mrs. wallace : what ? what , that nonsense about katherine crane showing up at sheridan 's wedding ? not ! she 's in spirit , not in the flesh . beth : well , i got the impression tabitha thinks she is alive , and if she is , sheridan and luis will never get married . they 're going to be finished forever . 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 gwen : honey , i mean it . i want theresa out of our lives once and for all . i want this horrible nightmare with her to finally be over . i mean , this is theresa 's fault . all of this is her fault , starting with her knocking out our surrogate and tricking the doctors into implanting her with our embryo and then tricking you into sleeping with her by pretending she 's me ! it 's crazy ! ethan : hey , you know what ? i -- i should n't have gotten drunk , first of all . gwen : this is n't your fault . look , you thought your drinks had been drugged and i bet you 're right and i would guarantee that theresa was the one who did it . how else could she fool you into sleeping with her with a wig and perfume ? look , but at least one good thing has come out of this -- i do not at all have to worry about you having some lingering feelings for her . there 's no way you could after this . i am sure that you finally see her for the monster that she really is . pilar : theresa , you should at least consider the possibility the baby is gwen 's . theresa : no , i do n't , mama . she is mine and the d.n.a . test is going to prove it . pilar : maybe , maybe not . and if it does , theresa , i 'm afraid that the whole reason you did this is going to backfire . if you do n't give gwen this baby , you 're never going to get your son back . theresa : mama , i was n't the one that started all of this mess . ethan was going to marry me . he was going to spend his life with me until gwen got herself pregnant . plus , gwen and rebecca threw us out of our home . they got us fired from our jobs , they made it so we could n't find work anywhere in harmony , and worst of all , mama , they stole my child from me . pilar : there were other choices . theresa : i know there were other choices and i tried them , mama . i tried reasoning with gwen and rebecca , you know that . i begged them to give me my son back , but what did they do , mama ? they laughed at me . i tried to fight them in court , but they owned the judge . i did what any mother would do . pilar : right . and now there 's another baby to fight over . theresa : yes , there is , and she is mine , mama , and i will be damned if i let gwen take her , too . i 'm sorry , mama , but i have had enough . i do n't care how much power and money gwen or rebecca have . i 'm not backing down , ever again . i want little ethan back , i want ethan back , i want the baby that i made with ethan . i want every single thing that gwen has taken from me , and as god is my witness , i will get it . tabitha : endora , i ca n't wait to see what 's in this box . you know , there 's no card anywhere , but i think you 're right . i think this is from your daddy . [ endora babbles ] tabitha : yeah , i think it is ! you know , julian has plenty of cash , quite enough to splurge on something really fabulous . oh , hades , look at the damn time . kay 's going to be coming by any minute to take you on that christmas jaunt . [ tabitha laughs ] tabitha : i know , i know , but if she takes you to see santa claus , you remember what to do , right ? good girl , good girl ! none of that `` ho , ho , ho `` rubbish for you . but listen , you must remember that you have to be very discreet because we do n't want to arouse suspicion , all right ? ok . come on . let 's get you into something festive -- yeah . you know , i have never been so excited for christmas , but now i ca n't wait for christmas because i ca n't wait to see what 's in that box ! come on , my baby . mrs. wallace : hey ! hey , marty , look who 's here -- your daddy and your real step mommy . luis : whoa . hey , big guy ! mrs. wallace : boy . he could n't wait to get here to see you two . sheridan : oh . well , we 're so happy to see him . mrs. wallace : how are the wedding plans coming along ? luis : fine , fine . but you two are still coming , are n't you ? mrs. wallace : oh ! are you kidding ? we would n't miss that for the world , now , would we , bethie ? beth : uh - uh . mrs. wallace : i think it 's going to be the most beautiful wedding that harmony has ever seen . do n't you agree , bethie ? yeah , i knew she would . you two -- you two have been through so much . but , you know , it 's just like the fairy tale -- true love conquers all . you two are going to live happily ever after . i mean , you 're still planning to get married right after christmas , are n't you ? luis : set in stone . sheridan : yeah . mrs. wallace : hear that , bethie ? it 's set in stone ! beth : mm - hmm . i heard . mrs. wallace : well -- well , look , go on , go on -- take your son . beth : ok , ok . now you be good and have fun with your daddy and sheridan , ok ? mommy will see you later , ok ? luis : all right , all right , so -- beth : bye . luis : we 'll see you two in a couple of hours , all right ? mrs. wallace : yep . luis : marty . come on , son . mrs. wallace : bye - bye . oh . oh , bethie . did you ever see a more loving or a happy family ? beth : would you drop it , mother ? mrs. wallace : just like a storybook . beth : listen , make yourself helpful and tell me everything that you know about katherine crane . mrs. wallace : oh , no . are you still chasing that wild goose ? katherine crane is dead , d - e - a - d , dead and buried . beth : well , after tabitha 's speech at sheridan 's bridal shower , she alluded that katherine was still alive . mrs. wallace : tabitha is loony and she does n't know what she 's talking about . beth : i think she does . mrs. wallace : oh ! beth : and you do n't . i 'm going to go see her , and before she even realizes it , she 's going to be telling me everything she knows about katherine crane and mrs .. wheeler . mrs. wallace : bethie , honey , you 're wasting your time . you are -- come on , come on . why do n't you come with precious and me , huh , huh ? you know , after we have our hot chocolate , we 're going to go see santa claus because precious has been on the computer all morning long coming up with her list . hey , bethie ? beth : hmm ? mrs. wallace : maybe santa can tell you what alistair 's word means , huh ? beth : santa ca n't help me , but tabitha can . i know that she has the information that 's the key to breaking up luis and sheridan . mrs. wallace : oh -- huh ? oh . chill out . do n't get any ideas , huh ? what ? oh , yeah . i wish i could find luis under my tree , too , at christmas . but i 'm afraid that 's one item we 're going to have to cross off our christmas list . chad : let me come to the divorce hearing with you . let me be there for you . valerie : i 'm going to take these files to the conference room before i leave . have a merry christmas . chad : oh , you , too . come in . whitney : ok . chad : i thought we agreed to be friends . whitney : well , we did . chad : well , then let me be there for you as a friend , as a brother . come on , do n't shut me out . all right , let me be part of your life in the one way that i can be . whitney , i know how hard your parents ' separation has been on you . i know it 's made you question everything you believe about love . well , you should n't be alone at the divorce hearing . you should have somebody there when this all becomes final . and if fox is unavailable , let it be me . whitney : ok . yeah , i mean , i -- i definitely do n't want to be there alone . thank you . chad : good . whitney : it 's really happening , is n't it ? my parents ' marriage is over and it 's happening on christmas eve . chad : the court set the date , not them . whitney : i know . it 's just that christmas was always such a happy time for me and my family , but now this is going to be my christmas memory . chad : it 'll be all right . you 'll see . whitney : yeah . chad : come on . eve : so this is how it all ends . years of marriage , two children , a warm , loving home . and it was a warm , loving home , julian . julian : i know . i saw . eve : `` till death do us part . `` that 's the vow that t.c . and i made to each other and to god . oh , i know i made so many mistakes . i should 've told t.c . about my past , our past , and about the baby that we had together . but it was -- it was over long before i met him and i thought the baby had died and i -- i knew how much it would hurt him . julian : you kept quiet because of your love for t.c . eve : misplaced though it was . and you know , through it all , through the -- the separation and the divorce papers , i still thought that somehow we would get through this , that our family and our life was -- was so precious to us even though we were going down the -- down the rapids , we would n't go over the falls . but we have , thanks to liz . if she had n't kept poisoning t.c . 's mind against me , he might have found a way to forgive me . he might have listened to father lonigan . julian : well , he might have , but i believe he 's made his choice . eve : so , now we just stand here waiting for some judge to sign a decree that ends my marriage forever . merry christmas . eve : simone . honey , i did n't realize that you would be here . simone : i 'm not here for you , mother . i came to support daddy . this has been really hard on him . eve : it 's been really hard on me , too , simone . simone : yeah , right . eve : oh , god . i really have lost everything . santa : you be sure you put out some cookies and milk for santa tonight . ho , ho , ho ! i get so hungry flying around the world delivering presents . luis : all right , marty . you all set there , bud ? santa : hold it . the elf has to take our picture . elf : smile . [ shutter clicks ] luis : all right . come on . there we go . [ santa chuckles ] luis : oh , thank you . man : here 's santa claus . elf : well , you sure have your mommy 's eyes . sheridan : oh -- actually , i 'm not his mother . elf : oh , you could 've fooled me , and i see a lot of mothers and children . sheridan : hmm . elf : anyway , the picture will be ready in a minute . i 'll be right back . luis : great . marty , what do you say , huh ? go get some cocoa ? sheridan : you know what ? i will wait for santa 's helper to get that picture ready and i will meet you . luis : great . come on , bud . let 's go get some hot cocoa . come on . come on . elf : here you go . sheridan : great . thank you . elf : great photo . are you sure you 're not his mom ? sheridan : yeah , i 'm sure . hmm . hey , that elf is right . i never noticed it before , but marty and i do have the same eyes . tabitha : oh , beth , dear . what a surprise -- i do n't think . beth : i hope i 'm not disturbing you . tabitha : no , not at all . kay took endora and maria to see santa claus , so it 's just me and the christmas presents . beth : oh . tabitha : did you see that ? beth : hmm ? see what ? tabitha : that box just moved . beth : it did ? tabitha : yeah , well , and -- and i could 've sworn that a few minutes ago , it was over there . beth : oh . maybe you just had a little too much christmas cheer . tabitha : oh , well . maybe . so , what brings you by , dear ? beth : well , i 'm trying to find the perfect wedding gift for luis and sheridan . tabitha 's voice : i 'll bet you are . beth : and then , i thought maybe i could bring a bit of her mother into their lives , except i know next to nothing about her and then i remembered what you said at the bridal shower about being friends with katherine crane . tabitha : oh , yes . katherine and i used to hang out from time to time , share girl talk . beth : well , what was she like ? tabitha : oh , she was quite beautiful , really . i remember her face very clearly . i would recognize her in a minute if i saw her now . beth : oh , you mean , even after all these years ? tabitha : oh , in a heartbeat -- unless , of course , she 'd had as much plastic surgery as martin fitzgerald -- huh . oh , then i would n't -- beth : oh . tabitha : but then no one would , of course . beth : yeah . pilar : theresa ? theresa : yeah ? pilar : what are you doing ? this is crazy , mija . you ca n't sneak into the crane mansion in broad daylight . if someone catches you , mija , they will throw you in jail , and gwen and rebecca will make sure they throw away the key . theresa : mama , they 're not going to see me , ok , and it 's worth the risk . i have got to see my son . it is christmas and i do n't want him to think that his mother does n't care enough to visit him on christmas eve ! pilar : oh , theresa -- theresa : i got to go . pilar : theresa , van aca ! theresa : mama , relax . pilar : if someone sees you -- oh , my god -- they will throw you in jail and then you will never see your son until he 's all grown up . theresa : mama , this is my son . it is christmas . what would you do ? pilar : i would do whatever i had to do , theresa , but this is -- theresa : that 's exactly what i 'm doing , mama . please , just keep an eye out for security , ok ? i love you . pilar : theresa ? oh , my god . ay . dios mio , por favor , protégé mi hijack . do n't let anything worse happen to her . gwen : who this is quite a list . ethan : yeah . little ethan : nanny helped me . gwen : i do n't see how santa is going to be able to resist bringing you everything you want . little ethan : really ? gwen : mm - hmm . ethan : yeah , i would n't be surprised . but you know what ? right now , you need to take a little nap because it 's going to be a late night , and when you wake up , we 're going to go right down to the park and make sure that santa gets this list personally . what do you think ? little ethan : oh , boy ! ethan : yeah , yeah , oh , boy . all right . gwen : there you go . ethan : you 'll go to sleep , right ? gwen : sweet dreams , sweetheart . we 'll see you in a bit . gwen : will you do me a favor ? ethan : yeah . gwen : just look in on him every now and then . i really do n't trust theresa . ethan : honey , what could she possibly do here at the mansion ? gwen : she has snuck in here before and i would not put it past her to try to do it again . ethan : it 's christmas eve . maybe we should let her see him . gwen : no . he is our son . legally , honey , he 's our son . i do n't want her anywhere near him . ethan : ok , ok , ok . i will check on him . gwen : thank you . ethan : you 're welcome . pilar : oh , my god . why did she stop ? oh , dear lord , please . please do n't let her get caught . do n't let the situation get any worse . gwen : ethan , are you coming ? ethan : yeah , just a sec . gwen : is -- is something wrong ? ethan : no . no , i just wanted to give little ethan a kiss good night , that 's all . gwen : ok . [ inaudible ] luis : what 's up ? sheridan : luis , i 'm sorry , but i -- i feel something . i mean , every time i see him , i try to deny it , but i -- i ca n't . there 's -- there 's a bond , there 's a connection . luis : i know . and when he was born , beth was n't able to nurse him and you did , so you developed something special with him . oh , marty -- no , do n't put the candy cane in your hair . sheridan : look , i know the nursing created a bond . this is more than that . this is so much more . beth : of course ! if someone had plastic surgery to change their face , no one would recognize them , like no one recognized martin . tabitha : precisely . but you can catch by type . it 's another matter . be you ca n't well , what katherine crane body li p 's tabia : , . no be e yo bia : oh ! not ll be - wel ? tabi , 's you ouldtiont . a mr oft , s. w 's odis vmulihe 's . : h . tabitha : well , of course , she 's been dead for years , since sheridan was a little girl . beth : well , i feel like somebody told me once that she had n't really died , that she ran off with someone ? tabitha : oh , that was just rumors and gossip , dear , but i suppose it 's possible . beth : but if someone had plastic surgery , how would anyone know ? tabitha : hmm . well , actually , there is a way to recognize katherine . she had a very distinguishable birth mark on the back of her neck . i think it was sort of heart - shaped . so , if you find the birth mark , you 've found katherine . that 's if she 's still alive , of course . tabitha : are you sure you have to go so soon , dear ? you only just got here and we have n't had a chance to talk about what sort of wedding gift you want to get for sheridan and luis . beth : oh , well , do n't worry . i know exactly what i 'm going to get them . tabitha : i 'm counting on that , bethie dear . your little heart - shaped gift is going to rock luis and sheridan 's world like mount st . helens . speaking of gifts , it must almost be christmas somewhere , so i do n't think it would hurt if i just took the teensiest little peek inside here . judge : well , are you both still certain you want to dissolve this marriage ? t.c . : yes , your honor . i am . judge : dr. russell ? eve : i 'm in complete agreement , your honor . judge : then according to the laws of this state and the power vested in me as an officer of the court , i decree that the marriage of thorton chandler russell and eve russell is now and forever legally dissolved .

[ sighs ] nick : you know , you were a real champ -- calm , supportive , coffee duty . avery : ahh . anything i can do to help . nick : really ? avery : yeah . what do you need ? nick : can you swing by the club -- check on the `` electrical issues `` ? avery : mm - hmm . nick : what do you want -- money ? avery : i want your keys . nick : oh . that i can do . avery : [ chuckles ] [ scene_break ] victoria : you know , nick 's happy , dad . i have n't seen him smile this much in years . and we should be ready to smile a lot more , too , because we are getting newman back . victor : you seem very confident . victoria : well , i just think that we should let nick enjoy his life . i want newman back enough for both of us , and i want it back for abby , as well . victor : and you do n't think you need some assistance ? victoria : well , that 's why i have billy by my side . and with adam gone and jack out of commission , it 's not gon na be very long . victor : billy 's not an asset . and as far as adam is concerned -- victoria : we do n't have to worry about adam all the way from paris , do we ? victor : he 's not gon na slink away that easily . are you kidding ? as a matter of fact , i 'm convinced he is n't . as long as his wife is in town , so will adam be . victoria : [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] billy : so , france did n't want you , either , huh ? adam : chelsea and i have had to delay our plans for the sake of newman enterprises and the current power transfer . billy : oh . mason : mr. abbott , i 'm sorry i did n't update you on the situation sooner . billy : oh , he 's not a situation . this man is a menace . thanks , mason . [ paper bag rustling ] billy : would you like a croissant ? they 're good . i 'm telling you , they 're good . go to france and get 'em there . they 're better there . now , look , i told you -- your services are no longer needed here . so , fly away , little birdie . go on . fly away . go to france . unless you plan on keeping your talons in newman and genoa city for good . [ scene_break ] kevin : hi . hi . yes . um , i need to speak with someone regarding a short - term business loan . my wife and i are gon na put our coffeehouse up as collateral . i 'm gon na have to call you back . thanks . hey , buddy . fen : oh , was that my dad ? kevin : what ? fen : well , you just got off the phone so fast . was my dad calling to check up on me ? kevin : he would be doing that because ... fen : [ scoffs ] well , jamie -- he 's been in town for like five minutes , and suddenly the entire freaking world revolves around him . kevin : [ sighs ] hey , do you really want to get into a crappy - parent contest with me ? fen : yeah . i know you 're the wrong guy to complain to . kevin : right -- not just because of terrible tom but because michael and lauren can look out for jamie and still love you more than anything in the world -- anything . you 're too smart to not know that . [ scene_break ] lauren : well , we need to find out what this issue between fen and jamie is . um , michael said that you talked to fenmore at the coffeehouse . paul : yeah . he was angry and jealous of jamie . he said maybe we should talk to brittni about jamie 's whereabouts , and he looked right at summer when he said it . lauren : i do n't know what that means . did you try with her ? michael : no , i did . i got nowhere . i asked her if she knew any of the places jamie might go . [ knock on door ] michael : sorry . [ sighs ] lauren : [ sighs ] michael : [ chuckling ] oh . jamie ? lauren : what ? michael : jamie ! jamie -- jamie is here ! lauren : ohh ! michael : yes . paul : oh , man . lauren : oh , my god . oh , my god . michael : are we glad to see you ! lauren : yeah , really . you okay ? are you hurt ? michael : where did you go ? jamie : i just -- i - i had to take off . but then i did n't know where to go . lauren : [ sighs ] michael : you need to be here , all right ? lauren : yeah . it 's gon na be okay . [ scene_break ] john : withdrawal pills working , jack ? jack : better than not having them . john : well , they wo n't ease all of the pain . waking up , seeing stephanie on the floor , knowing that you did nothing to help her ? jack : i did n't put the pills in her hand ! i did n't put the drinks in her hand ! i did n't kill her ! john : but you did n't save her , either , jack . and now you 've got adam involved in this mess ? and you made sure he was an accessory , and you made sure that you 'd owe him forever . and why , son ? [ sighs ] newman ? oh , jackie , jackie . you know the answer , and you know how to fix this . jack : stop , dad ! just stop ! please , stop . oh , god . [ breathing heavily ] [ twig snaps ] jack : who 's out there ? [ scene_break ] phyllis : avery left ? nick : yeah . summer sleeping okay ? phyllis : [ sighs ] she 's so beautiful when she sleeps . i just remember when she was a little baby . it just brings me back to that time . i mean , when you called me and said she was sick , you know ... nick : yeah . the coma , switzerland . you made her healthy and whole again . that was all you . phyllis : you know , when we were waiting for her to wake up while she was in a coma ... i - i think that was a really good time for us . not her being sick , but -- but it made us ... whole again . i think that we just -- we remembered what mattered . nick : yeah . phyllis : that 's not ... us anymore . nick : i got word that ... our divorce is final . phyllis : [ exhales sharply ] its official . we 're over . [ scene_break ] victoria : so , did you and adam change your plans ? what happened to paris ? chelsea : it 's still in france , waiting for us . adam just had to take care of a few things at newman before we left . victor : things that are more important than your stay overseas ? chelsea : well , whatever it is , i 'm sure it will be dealt with quickly . victor : or is adam finding another reason to stay indefinitely ? [ scene_break ] adam : i have no intention of staying in genoa city a day longer than is necessary . billy : fantastic . mason , you can go back to your desk . i 'll let you know if we need to call the fumigators , okay ? what are you looking at , mason ? [ clears throat ] adam : this resistance to my offer of help during the time of transition -- it smacks of insecurity , jealousy , and a hint of ... paranoia . billy : [ chuckles ] and your resistance to backing off hints of jackassery . your ego told you that newman could n't survive without you . it turns out your ego -- big fat liar . adam : your older brother -- your older , wiser brother , jack -- he asked that we work together , and i promised him i would support him and the company , and i 'm doing that now . [ scene_break ] chelsea : it 's fascinating to me how much time you spend thinking about adam without actually liking him . my husband and i are about to start a great new life together , and it does n't include you or your family or your company , so feel free to pop the champagne and throw the confetti as soon as possible . victoria : if adam wanted to be on that plane , he would have been on it last night . chelsea : you still do n't know him at all , do you ? adam made a promise that he would n't leave jack or newman hanging . so he wo n't . he just needs to make sure that the right people are put in the right positions , and then we can start our new life together and then you can continue to badger the leadership the way that you badgered him . you can go after billy or sharon -- whoever you like . victor : billy and sharon ? [ scene_break ] billy : you know , my older , wiser brother -- he put me in charge because you no longer bring anything to the table . adam : you see , the thing is , billy ... i determine when my job here is done . billy : oh , you do n't get it , do you ? okay , let me help you out . you no longer make decisions here . i do . i decide which direction this company is going to move . i decide who 's hired . i decide who 's fired . sharon : adam . [ scene_break ] kevin : you know , this whole `` angry young man `` pose , treating your parents as the enemy -- it 's not doing you any good . fen : well , if i walk away , they say i 'm shutting them out , yet if i actually tell them how i feel , they 're offended . meanwhile , they 're in the corner , boohooing over jamie . kevin : i know . it sucks . that 's the thing about being 16 . it sucks . fen : [ scoffs ] great . kevin : you just got to get through it . you got to be smart , fen . stay calm . fen : you mean ... make nice ? kevin : michael and lauren are your parents . that 's never gon na change , okay ? fen : you 're right . at the end of the day . [ scene_break ] michael : yes . thank you . lauren : so , what did they say ? michael : [ sighs ] the new judge agrees that jamie can stay here until his father 's released from jail , which probably wo n't happen anytime soon . lauren : okay . so , no more group home , thank god . paul : nice job , michael . michael : thank you very much . now , does that meet with your approval , young man ? will you stay put , please ? jamie : yeah . michael : yes ! lauren : [ laughs ] you must be hungry . have you been eating ? where were you ? jamie : i - i - i 'm fine . this helps , though . wait . is there cinnamon in this ? lauren : you must be exhausted . you know , your room is still made up from the last time , so if you want to clean up , take a nap , anything , just go for it . jamie : oh , i got to go grab my stuff first . paul : oh , i can give you a lift . jamie : no , thanks . it 's close enough . lauren : okay . here . let me -- let me give you a key . michael : jamie , someone should really go with you . we worry . jamie : i 'll be back , mr. baldwin . look , if this is gon na work , you have to trust me . oh , and thanks ... again . [ scene_break ] nick : we had some ... amazing times together . phyllis : yeah . nick : and we got a great kid . but now ... phyllis : avery makes you happy . nick : i really want that for you . phyllis : [ sighs ] i - i - i 'm not ready to think in those terms yet . it 'll just magically fall into place , i think . nick : does n't have to be magic . and it does n't have to be hard , either . avery and i talked a lot before we ever got together , and we said there were gon na be no games . phyllis : okay , okay . good . good . good . good . [ sighs ] as opposed to what ? nick : i did n't mean it like that . phyllis : i 'm sorry i hurt you . nick : phyllis , we both hurt each other so many times over the years . phyllis : i just think that this last time -- i think we really had a shot . but then the trial , the accusations and cover - ups -- and you were so incredible . you really stood by me . you did n't deserve what i did to you . you deserve better . [ scene_break ] avery : please work . please . there . great . tyler ! thanks for coming . tyler : what , no candles or flashlights ? avery : aha ! that 's funny . well , the place looks good when you can see it , right ? tyler : right . avery : i was wondering if your offer still stands about creating a marketing plan for the underground . tyler : it seemed like nick kind of passed on that offer last night . avery : no , no . he did n't pass . he was just in no mood to make a business decision . does the offer still stand ? tyler : well ... you got bodies in the door . avery : mm - hmm . tyler : but we 'll need more bodies . we 're gon na have to tweak what works , toss what does n't -- and keep the lights on . avery : all right . well , i like what you 're saying so far . tell me more .

[ scene_break ] chelsea : sharon turned newman into an international punch line . victoria : and adam hired her back ? victor : perhaps he wants her to continue her destructive path . chelsea : [ sighs ] because everything is always about newman . this is why i ca n't wait to get out of here . adam just wanted to make sure sharon was employed , just so she could have a sliver of normal life . that 's all -- nothing to do with you , nothing to do with destroying your precious newman . victoria : well , i 'm sorry . i 'm really not seeing his big heart in all of this . chelsea : okay . you know what ? i 'm going to the gym . have fun dwelling on things that i could n't care less about . victor : billy did n't say anything to you about sharon ? victoria : dad , obviously , he did n't know -- obviously -- or he would be as furious as we are right now . victor : you think so ? victoria : yeah , i do . i know he 's not keeping secrets , so please stop , dad .

[ scene_break ] lauren : well , we need to find out what this issue between fen and jamie is . um , michael said that you talked to fenmore at the coffeehouse . paul : yeah . he was angry and jealous of jamie . he said maybe we should talk to brittni about jamie 's whereabouts , and he looked right at summer when he said it . lauren : i do n't know what that means . did you try with her ? michael : no , i did . i got nowhere . i asked her if she knew any of the places jamie might go . [ knock on door ] michael : sorry . [ sighs ] lauren : [ sighs ] michael : [ chuckling ] oh . jamie ? lauren : what ? michael : jamie ! jamie -- jamie is here ! lauren : ohh ! michael : yes . paul : oh , man . lauren : oh , my god . oh , my god . michael : are we glad to see you ! lauren : yeah , really . you okay ? are you hurt ? michael : where did you go ? jamie : i just -- i - i had to take off . but then i did n't know where to go . lauren : [ sighs ] michael : you need to be here , all right ? lauren : yeah . it 's gon na be okay . [ scene_break ] john : withdrawal pills working , jack ? jack : better than not having them . john : well , they wo n't ease all of the pain . waking up , seeing stephanie on the floor , knowing that you did nothing to help her ? jack : i did n't put the pills in her hand ! i did n't put the drinks in her hand ! i did n't kill her ! john : but you did n't save her , either , jack . and now you 've got adam involved in this mess ? and you made sure he was an accessory , and you made sure that you 'd owe him forever . and why , son ?

[ breathing heavily ] [ twig snaps ] jack : who 's out there ? [ scene_break ] phyllis : avery left ? nick : yeah . summer sleeping okay ? phyllis : [ sighs ] she 's so beautiful when she sleeps . i just remember when she was a little baby . it just brings me back to that time . i mean , when you called me and said she was sick , you know ... nick : yeah . the coma , switzerland . you made her healthy and whole again . that was all you . phyllis : you know , when we were waiting for her to wake up while she was in a coma ... i - i think that was a really good time for us . not her being sick , but -- but it made us ... whole again . i think that we just -- we remembered what mattered . nick : yeah . phyllis : that 's not ... us anymore . nick : i got word that ... our divorce is final . phyllis : [ exhales sharply ] its official . we 're over . [ scene_break ] victoria : so , did you and adam change your plans ? what happened to paris ? chelsea : it 's still in france , waiting for us . adam just had to take care of a few things at newman before we left . victor : things that are more important than your stay overseas ? chelsea : well , whatever it is , i 'm sure it will be dealt with quickly . victor : or is adam finding another reason to stay indefinitely ? [ scene_break ] adam : i have no intention of staying in genoa city a day longer than is necessary . billy : fantastic . mason , you can go back to your desk . i 'll let you know if we need to call the fumigators , okay ? what are you looking at , mason ? [ clears throat ] adam : this resistance to my offer of help during the time of transition -- it smacks of insecurity , jealousy , and a hint of ... paranoia . billy : [ chuckles ] and your resistance to backing off hints of jackassery . your ego told you that newman could n't survive without you . it turns out your ego -- big fat liar . adam : your older brother -- your older , wiser brother , jack -- he asked that we work together , and i promised him i would support him and the company , and i 'm doing that now . [ scene_break ] chelsea : it 's fascinating to me how much time you spend thinking about adam without actually liking him . my husband and i are about to start a great new life together , and it does n't include you or your family or your company , so feel free to pop the champagne and throw the confetti as soon as possible . victoria : if adam wanted to be on that plane , he would have been on it last night . chelsea : you still do n't know him at all , do you ? adam made a promise that he would n't leave jack or newman hanging . so he wo n't . he just needs to make sure that the right people are put in the right positions , and then we can start our new life together and then you can continue to badger the leadership the way that you badgered him . you can go after billy or sharon -- whoever you like . victor : billy and sharon ? [ scene_break ] billy : you know , my older , wiser brother -- he put me in charge because you no longer bring anything to the table . adam : you see , the thing is , billy ... i determine when my job here is done . billy : oh , you do n't get it , do you ? okay , let me help you out . you no longer make decisions here . i do . i decide which direction this company is going to move . i decide who 's hired . i decide who 's fired . sharon : adam . [ scene_break ] kevin : you know , this whole `` angry young man `` pose , treating your parents as the enemy -- it 's not doing you any good . fen : well , if i walk away , they say i 'm shutting them out , yet if i actually tell them how i feel , they 're offended . meanwhile , they 're in the corner , boohooing over jamie . kevin : i know . it sucks . that 's the thing about being 16 . it sucks . fen : [ scoffs ] great . kevin : you just got to get through it . you got to be smart , fen . stay calm . fen : you mean ... make nice ? kevin : michael and lauren are your parents . that 's never gon na change , okay ? fen : you 're right . at the end of the day . [ scene_break ] michael : yes . thank you . lauren : so , what did they say ? michael : [ sighs ] the new judge agrees that jamie can stay here until his father 's released from jail , which probably wo n't happen anytime soon . lauren : okay . so , no more group home , thank god . paul : nice job , michael . michael : thank you very much . now , does that meet with your approval , young man ? will you stay put , please ? jamie : yeah . michael : yes ! lauren : [ laughs ] you must be hungry . have you been eating ? where were you ? jamie : i - i - i 'm fine . this helps , though . wait . is there cinnamon in this ? lauren : you must be exhausted . you know , your room is still made up from the last time , so if you want to clean up , take a nap , anything , just go for it . jamie : oh , i got to go grab my stuff first . paul : oh , i can give you a lift . jamie : no , thanks . it 's close enough . lauren : okay . here . let me -- let me give you a key . michael : jamie , someone should really go with you . we worry . jamie : i 'll be back , mr. baldwin . look , if this is gon na work , you have to trust me . oh , and thanks ... again .

[ sighs ] as opposed to what ? nick : i did n't mean it like that . phyllis : i 'm sorry i hurt you . nick : phyllis , we both hurt each other so many times over the years . phyllis : i just think that this last time -- i think we really had a shot . but then the trial , the accusations and cover - ups -- and you were so incredible . you really stood by me . you did n't deserve what i did to you . you deserve better .

[ scene_break ] chelsea : sharon turned newman into an international punch line . victoria : and adam hired her back ? victor : perhaps he wants her to continue her destructive path . chelsea : [ sighs ] because everything is always about newman . this is why i ca n't wait to get out of here . adam just wanted to make sure sharon was employed , just so she could have a sliver of normal life . that 's all -- nothing to do with you , nothing to do with destroying your precious newman . victoria : well , i 'm sorry . i 'm really not seeing his big heart in all of this . chelsea : okay . you know what ? i 'm going to the gym . have fun dwelling on things that i could n't care less about . victor : billy did n't say anything to you about sharon ? victoria : dad , obviously , he did n't know -- obviously -- or he would be as furious as we are right now . victor : you think so ? victoria : yeah , i do . i know he 's not keeping secrets , so please stop , dad .

[ scene_break ] spinelli : my former bridesmaid in distress . you are a vision , and hopefully , a healing one . leyla : do n't worry , spinelli . we 're going to get you well . spinelli : such a declaration from one so fair and medically talented is indeed most comforting . maxie : spinelli . you have to get better . you have no idea how much i need you .

[ scene_break ] kate : sonny , you ca n't live your life doing penance for your mistakes . sonny : it 's hard , kate , to move on . to not look back , and you know , act like hey , i 'm not to blame for anything . kate : you changed your entire life because of michael . you gave up your sons , you walked away from your business , all for the effort to keep your family safe . sonny : it 's too late for michael . kate : well , it is not too late for you . you can choose to live your life to the fullest , sonny . god is not going to strike you down and punish you because you 're happy . sonny : i know that in my head , kate . but it does n't , you know , it 's hard for me . kate : michael would want you to be happy , right ? sonny : yeah , he would . kate : okay , so we 're going to get married , sonny . we 're going to support each other ; we are going to have a wonderful life . sonny : i hope i can give you that , is all i 'm saying . kate : i waited my whole life to be with you , sonny corinthos . i lost you once and i 'm not going to lose you again . sonny : i just wish that , uh -- kate : what ? sonny : i just wish that my children could be part of our joy . kate : i know , i wish that , too . sonny : yeah ? kate : mm - hmm . [ scene_break ] jax : how can a pregnancy ruin anything ? carly : i 'm just afraid , jax , i am -- jax : of what ? losing another baby ? what ? carly : you know , it hurts so much that michael is n't here anymore . but i know that i have to function and i have to put one foot in front of the other . so you know what i do ? i detach , and i feel like that i 'm standing outside my life looking in . while the real me goes through the motions where i get up , i get dressed , i get morgan to school , i go to work . and through it all , the whole time , there 's this agonizing pain . jax : carly , you 'll always have me and morgan . carly : but i do n't understand . because i love you both so much . and it 's so crazy that i could be here , standing in my own home , surrounded by my family and i feel completely and utterly alone . jax : look , you 're grieving , okay ? you just have to try to get through it ; you take each moment at a time . that 's all we can do , we can just try our best . carly : yeah , but you 're always giving and i 'm always taking . jax : no . carly : yeah . jax : no , come on , you 're doing great , really . you 're doing much better than you give yourself credit for . carly : i just feel very much alone . jax : whenever you feel like that you call me , okay , you find me . and i 'll remind you of all the good things in our lives , everything we have to be thankful for .

[ scene_break ] robin : okay . how did you feel when your family fell apart ? patrick : my family does n't have anything to do with this . robin : just answer the question . patrick : okay , my family did n't fall apart . my mother died on the operating table and my father became an alcoholic . robin : when you were in college , right ? patrick : and ? robin : and you still felt like the bottom just dropped out of your world . patrick : robin , what is your point ? robin : the point is that i felt like that , too . i thought that my parents were dead , and there 's no way i am going to do that to my child . patrick : okay , first of all , it is our child . second of all , we 're not going to go fake our own deaths , and i do n't have a bottle of booze in my hand . robin : right , but the loss of a parent is devastating to any child , it doest matter how it happens , if it 's addiction or death or just abandonment . but you ca n't miss what you never had . patrick : so now you 're saying it 's better that my child does n't know me at all ? robin : we 're talking in circles . patrick : because you keep insisting i do n't want to be a father . robin : because you have said that , over and over again . patrick : well , i 'm not saying it anymore . this baby has you feeling out of control and you 're overcompensating by pushing me away . robin : patrick , i do n't want to invest in a future that 's not going to happen . that would be devastating to me and my child . patrick : robin , not to beat a dead horse , but it 's our child . robin : whatever , you know what i mean . patrick : look , i do n't know what else to say , but i 'm trying change . i 've gone from being baby - phobic to wanting us all to live together . robin : well , you 'll have to excuse me for questioning your sincerity . patrick : you think i would lie about something like this ? robin : i just think that you are having a reaction because you feel guilty . and i wish you would just get over it , so we could back to the way things were . patrick : robin , and what way is that -- your way ? [ scene_break ] spinelli : the dreaded devery was more insidious than mere pizza . master stone cold 's immune system was sufficiently strong to fight off the fever , but alas , the grasshopper has fallen prey to its crippling effects . that perhaps it was the consumption of many contaminated pizza slices in an effort to absorb the alcohol -- maxie : wait , back up , you still have n't explained to me why you were drinking and talking in that pretty good australian accent ? spinelli : it was an attempt to attain charm and suavity that i might impress a certain someone . maxie : why , spinelli ? you 're perfect the way you are . spinelli : really ? maxie : yeah , and if you were trying to impress giselle , she 's a snob and not worth your time . spinelli : it was not the rival fashionista whom i was trying -- jason : hey , how are you feeling ? spinelli : uh , ever so slightly improved thanks to the ministrations of nurse mir and maximista . leyla : spinelli 's fever is down but he still needs to rest . you 've been here quite a while , so maybe you should -- maxie : yeah , you 're right , i should let you rest . he 's not contagious , right ? leyla : right . maxie : get better , that 's an order . spinelli : is she not heaven 's gift to mortal men ? [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] anthony : so ? claudia : i could n't do it . anthony : morgan was sick and you were alone with him , how tough would it have been ? claudia : first of all , his computer guy was there the entire time . it would have been a little suspicious with the cops , dad , do n't you think , if they both ended up dead ? anthony : we all have to make sacrifices .

patrick accuses robin 's control freak nature for why she wo n't let him be part of the baby 's life . kate begins planning an elaborate wedding , despite sonny 's worries . spinelli is taken to the hospital where claudia and maxie both fuss over him . jax realizes carly is afraid to be pregnant , but not why . he thinks it is because of michael ; in truth , it 's because the baby could be sonny 's as easily as his . because johnny hit logan , scott wants him jailed , but alexis is not cooperative . spinelli begins to recover .

[ scene_break ] carly : and the children laughed , and laughed ... and laughed . carly : i 'm sorry i 've been so distracted , baby . see , there 's a pretty good chance i could be pregnant again . that would be wonderful news , except for one thing . the baby could be sonny 's as easily as jax 's . [ knock on door ] carly : i was -- i did n't hear you come in . i was just -- jax : confessing to morgan . i imagine that you were telling him that you 're scared to be pregnant again . i understand that because part of me feels the same way .

[ scene_break ] robin : elizabeth does have a choice about being a single mother . patrick : lucky and elizabeth are divorced . lucky is with sam . robin : right , but if elizabeth wanted lucky back , she could get him back in a heartbeat . but she 's content with being an independent mother . i mean , the kids are happy -- patrick : well , we are not lucky and elizabeth . what might work for them might not work for our family . robin : i disagree . patrick : well , you do n't get to make arbitrary decisions about our child . i am the father . i get to decide how involved i am . robin : you already did .

[ scene_break ] maxie : we would just hate for you to have your heart broken . kate : well , that 's sweet , maxie , but your concerns are misplaced . sonny and carly are history . he 's going to be my husband . in fact , we are going to have the biggest , splashiest wedding that port charles has ever seen . we 're inviting everyone in this book . lulu : everyone ? kate : was i not clear ? lulu : sorry . kate : in fact , i think that we 're going to do a piece in `` crimson . `` yes , i 'm thinking ten , twelve pages . i want a top photographer . maxie : this could be an amazing promo opportunity for the magazine . kate : absolutely , maxie . maxie : what about the dresses ? kate : well , maha chang for the wedding gown . maxie : and federico for the reception ? kate : yes . that 's perfect . okay . we need to talk color scheme , floral arrangements . lulu : that would depend on the venue , right ? kate : well , there 's hope for you yet , lulu . hang on . do n't you go anywhere . you 're too late . sonny : i 've got to make -- i 've got to make some calls . i just remembered . kate : no . i want your help , sonny . it 's your wedding , too . sonny : you -- you 're the expert . you just go ahead . do whatever you want . kate : oh , really ? wow . this is certainly a new sonny . a man with an opinion on everything suddenly has nothing to offer ? sonny : listen . i 'm just going to show up and say my vows . kate : okay . where do you want to get married ? you 've been divorced , so i 'm assuming we ca n't have a catholic wedding . sonny : you 're right , but i 'd just be happy -- you know , with a justice of the peace . kate : okay . well , that will certainly widen our choice of venues . sonny : how wide ? kate : depends on whether we get married in port charles or manhattan . lulu : what time of year are you guys planning on getting married ? sonny : well , i 'm just thinking this is going to happen as soon as possible . is that all right ? kate : yes , exactly . you see ? we 're on the same page . sonny : yeah , yeah . so -- a couple weeks , right ? [ kate chuckles ] sonny : did i say something funny ? kate : well , sonny , we need to be a little realistic . i mean , maha and federico need to design my dresses . i ca n't see us getting married before november . [ scene_break ] carly : you already have your hopes up . one dizzy spell and you think a baby is on the way . jax : no , i 'm just saying that it 's a possibility . so why not take a pregnancy test ? carly : because you 're not listening to me . i know i 'm not pregnant . i 'm not . jax : okay , okay . you know , i 'll stop pushing it . i 'll stop pushing and we 'll see how you feel in a couple of days . how 's that ? carly : thank you . jax : okay . carly : i need to take morgan up to bed . jax : no , i 'll take him . come on . you probably should n't be lifting anything . carly : jax . jax : just in case . [ scene_break ] harper : no one in the lobby saw the fight start . when they finally broke it up , zacchara was slamming mr. hayes headfirst into a table . scott : hey , i saw the whole thing , all right ? johnny went after my son like a rabid dog . alexis : did zacchara attack you first ? trevor : hold on , miss davis . there seems to be a big misunderstanding here . scott : there is no misunderstanding . the kid 's crazy , just like his father . trevor : excuse me , mr. baldwin . if john wanted to attack his father 's bodyguard , he would have done it from the privacy of his own home , certainly not in public . anthony : i agree . i 'm sure this is all a big mistake . [ scene_break ] maxie : yeah , we ca n't have an outdoor wedding in november . lulu : roland is in milan between thanksgiving and new year 's . sonny : who 's roland ? kate : oh , he 's fantastic at wedding shoots . but you know , we have the holidays to consider . sonny : no , no , no . we just keep it simple . okay ? all your friends are in manhattan . we 'll have it there . i 'm okay with that . maxie : or we could do it in paris . destination weddings are really in . kate : no , no , no , maxie . we 're not going to paris or milan . lulu : why do n't you just have it here in port charles , at your house ? keep it simple . kate : well , that 's true . with all the renovations , my house is definitely a destination . i could fit at least 200 people . [ phone rings ] maxie : hello ? jason : hey . it 's jason . i just wanted to tell you that spinelli 's pretty sick . he 's in the er . i just thought you 'd like to know that . maxie : yeah , thank you . i 'll be right there . i have an emergency . can i go ? kate : sure , maxie . we 'll resume in the morning . maxie : thanks . sonny : why does n't lulu go , too , because we 've got things to discuss . [ scene_break ] spinelli : [ crying out ] no , the jackal 's cyber strength is being sucked from his corporeal form . all his wisdom will be kept in tiny vessels and sold to the highest bidder . elizabeth : spinelli , shh . calm down . you 're in general hospital . you have a fever . spinelli : but that -- that 's not right . it was -- it was -- it was stone cold who contracted the deadly ague . claudia : he 's going to be okay . jason : you do n't know that . claudia : look , it 's harder to watch someone that you love suffer than to suffer yourself . i know that . jason : why do you give a damn about spinelli ? claudia : i do n't know . maybe because he 's the only guy i 've met that 's not trying to sleep with me or kill me . which one are you , again ? [ scene_break ] robin : there is a big difference between being involved and being a live - in parent . patrick : this is -- this is -- this is perfect . so we 're right back where we started . you 're determined to be a single mother and i 'm nothing but a sperm donor . robin : okay , can we review here ? which one of us was the one that wanted to have a child ? oh , right that was me . and i believe you were the person that said that fatherhood was a fate worse than death . patrick : yeah , well , we both became parents by accident . so that makes us equal . robin : it does not make us equal because i 'm the one that 's carrying this child . i 'm the one that 's changed my life to have this child . patrick : robin , i am trying to change my life , but you will not let me . robin : because you 've admitted over and over again that you 're not father material , never have been , never will be . patrick : okay , fine . but things change . i 've been going through this pregnancy with you , and being a father does n't seem so bad . robin : `` so bad `` ? patrick : robin , look . i am ready to acknowledge that i am going to be a dad . now , i want to try and be a family with you . you , me , and now our baby . robin : you do n't try to be a family . you either are one , or you 're not . and we are not .

[ cell phone rings ] claudia : hey . johnny : i 'm in the pcpd . i got one phone call . you 're it . claudia : hold on , john . i 've got to go . tell spinelli that i 'm going to be saying a prayer for him , okay ? i get to be human , too . what happened ? [ scene_break ] spinelli : my former bridesmaid in distress . you are a vision , and hopefully , a healing one . leyla : do n't worry , spinelli . we 're going to get you well . spinelli : such a declaration from one so fair and medically talented is indeed most comforting . maxie : spinelli . you have to get better . you have no idea how much i need you . [ scene_break ] lulu : i went back to the hotel when i heard about johnny . lucky : then you know he 's in a lot of trouble . [ scene_break ] logan : you did n't really see the start of the fight , did you ? scott : if you 're going to tell me that you took the first swing , i do n't want to hear that . logan : so you 're just going to lie ? scott : it 's not going to get you any favors with lulu . lulu : i want to see johnny . lucky : i 'll make a deal with you . i wo n't go through all the reasons why he 's bad for you . i 'm just going to let you watch it and see it in action . his disrespect for authority , his power - playing family -- lulu : i know all this , lucky . lucky : fine . if you want to watch it and you still want to see johnny , i 'll make it happen . lulu : yeah . [ scene_break ] trevor : gentlemen , i am sure that we can work something out . scott : work this out , mouthpiece . that punk is going to jail where he belongs . trevor : oh , mr. baldwin , maybe it is time to let logan speak for himself . scott : listen , if you think you can try to intimidate my son , you can just forget about that . anthony : there 's no intimidation . logan 's bright enough to know people make mistakes . logan : you 're damn right i am . and johnny made a big mistake when he hit me . [ scene_break ] kate : okay . i know how you feel about the wedding plans . your alternating looks of confusion and dread say it all . sonny : i was just -- i was taken off guard . there was so much going on -- kate : well , sonny , you proposed . i accepted . sonny : right . kate : does n't wedding planning come next ? sonny : yes , yes . and i 've already had five . i mean , my first -- you know , marriage to lily was just in the church . it was small , simple . kate : right , and your ones to carly ? sonny : yeah . well , you know -- yeah , right . that 's the same thing in -- all four times . kate : well , i want your last wedding to be special , a declaration of our love and commitment . i want it as dramatic as we are . sonny : you know , this is your first wedding . you should have everything you want , right ? kate : okay . well , i want you to enjoy it , too . sonny : when i married brenda -- oh , i did n't even marry her . i was supposed to marry her , right ? and it was supposed to be big and splashy , and it never came on . kate : okay , so -- sonny : what ? kate : so you think there 's a jinx ? you think that if it 's big and splashy that something will go wrong ? sonny : maybe . kate : well , maybe you can think of it as lucky number seven . sonny : i want to , but you know what it feels like ? like i 'm asking too much -- having you , a big wedding , happily ever after , it 's just kind of -- kate : more than you deserve ?

[ scene_break ] kate : sonny , you ca n't live your life doing penance for your mistakes . sonny : it 's hard , kate , to move on . to not look back , and you know , act like hey , i 'm not to blame for anything . kate : you changed your entire life because of michael . you gave up your sons , you walked away from your business , all for the effort to keep your family safe . sonny : it 's too late for michael . kate : well , it is not too late for you . you can choose to live your life to the fullest , sonny . god is not going to strike you down and punish you because you 're happy . sonny : i know that in my head , kate . but it does n't , you know , it 's hard for me . kate : michael would want you to be happy , right ? sonny : yeah , he would . kate : okay , so we 're going to get married , sonny . we 're going to support each other ; we are going to have a wonderful life . sonny : i hope i can give you that , is all i 'm saying . kate : i waited my whole life to be with you , sonny corinthos . i lost you once and i 'm not going to lose you again . sonny : i just wish that , uh -- kate : what ? sonny : i just wish that my children could be part of our joy . kate : i know , i wish that , too . sonny : yeah ? kate : mm - hmm . [ scene_break ] jax : how can a pregnancy ruin anything ? carly : i 'm just afraid , jax , i am -- jax : of what ? losing another baby ? what ? carly : you know , it hurts so much that michael is n't here anymore . but i know that i have to function and i have to put one foot in front of the other . so you know what i do ? i detach , and i feel like that i 'm standing outside my life looking in . while the real me goes through the motions where i get up , i get dressed , i get morgan to school , i go to work . and through it all , the whole time , there 's this agonizing pain . jax : carly , you 'll always have me and morgan . carly : but i do n't understand . because i love you both so much . and it 's so crazy that i could be here , standing in my own home , surrounded by my family and i feel completely and utterly alone . jax : look , you 're grieving , okay ? you just have to try to get through it ; you take each moment at a time . that 's all we can do , we can just try our best . carly : yeah , but you 're always giving and i 'm always taking . jax : no . carly : yeah . jax : no , come on , you 're doing great , really . you 're doing much better than you give yourself credit for . carly : i just feel very much alone . jax : whenever you feel like that you call me , okay , you find me . and i 'll remind you of all the good things in our lives , everything we have to be thankful for . [ scene_break ] johnny : how long can they keep me here ? trevor : did you hit logan first ? johnny : no , he hit me . trevor : any witnesses ? johnny : yeah , there were people in the lobby . i do n't know how much they saw . trevor : well , it looks like it 's going to be special prosecutor baldwin 's word against yours , until i can call in a couple of favors . so you 're probably going to have to spend the night in here . do n't lose your cool .

[ scene_break ] logan : sorry , mr. zacchara , but i did n't sign on to be johnny 's punching bag . anthony : of course you did n't . like i said , we all make mistakes . ric made a mistake when he hired you to be my attendant . so , now you 're fired . claudia : where is johnny zacchara ? anthony : your brother can wait . anthony : did you do what i asked ? did jason morgan die in quarantine ? [ scene_break ] elizabeth : hey , spinelli said you were sick , too . jason : my fever broke , i 'm fine . elizabeth : you always say that , like nothing can ever hurt you . but we both know that 's not true . i know there are times when you get hurt , you are lonely and you have no one to help you . jason : the only person i want ca n't be near me . i 'd rather be alone . [ scene_break ] spinelli : it is most kind of maximista to interrupt her burgeoning career in haute couture to visit the jackal . maxie : well , i was worried about you . spinelli : well , your concern warms my unfortunately fevered heart . maxie : well , it wo n't be fevered for long , because i am sticking around and willing you to get better . spinelli : maximista is staying ? maxie : of course . remember when sonny rammed your head into the wall and i took care of you to make sure you did n't have a concussion ? i was a pretty good nurse , right ? spinelli : you were superlative in every way . maxie : okay , well , consider me your nurse again . spinelli : the jackal expresses his deepest gratitude . but if your priorities are with the fashionista -- maxie : spinelli , you have to get better . i honestly do n't know what i would do without you . spinelli : the jackal reciprocates maximista 's sentiments . [ scene_break ] robin : okay . how did you feel when your family fell apart ? patrick : my family does n't have anything to do with this . robin : just answer the question . patrick : okay , my family did n't fall apart . my mother died on the operating table and my father became an alcoholic . robin : when you were in college , right ? patrick : and ? robin : and you still felt like the bottom just dropped out of your world . patrick : robin , what is your point ? robin : the point is that i felt like that , too . i thought that my parents were dead , and there 's no way i am going to do that to my child . patrick : okay , first of all , it is our child . second of all , we 're not going to go fake our own deaths , and i do n't have a bottle of booze in my hand . robin : right , but the loss of a parent is devastating to any child , it doest matter how it happens , if it 's addiction or death or just abandonment . but you ca n't miss what you never had . patrick : so now you 're saying it 's better that my child does n't know me at all ? robin : we 're talking in circles . patrick : because you keep insisting i do n't want to be a father . robin : because you have said that , over and over again . patrick : well , i 'm not saying it anymore . this baby has you feeling out of control and you 're overcompensating by pushing me away . robin : patrick , i do n't want to invest in a future that 's not going to happen . that would be devastating to me and my child . patrick : robin , not to beat a dead horse , but it 's our child . robin : whatever , you know what i mean . patrick : look , i do n't know what else to say , but i 'm trying change . i 've gone from being baby - phobic to wanting us all to live together . robin : well , you 'll have to excuse me for questioning your sincerity . patrick : you think i would lie about something like this ? robin : i just think that you are having a reaction because you feel guilty . and i wish you would just get over it , so we could back to the way things were . patrick : robin , and what way is that -- your way ? [ scene_break ] spinelli : the dreaded devery was more insidious than mere pizza . master stone cold 's immune system was sufficiently strong to fight off the fever , but alas , the grasshopper has fallen prey to its crippling effects . that perhaps it was the consumption of many contaminated pizza slices in an effort to absorb the alcohol -- maxie : wait , back up , you still have n't explained to me why you were drinking and talking in that pretty good australian accent ? spinelli : it was an attempt to attain charm and suavity that i might impress a certain someone . maxie : why , spinelli ? you 're perfect the way you are . spinelli : really ? maxie : yeah , and if you were trying to impress giselle , she 's a snob and not worth your time . spinelli : it was not the rival fashionista whom i was trying -- jason : hey , how are you feeling ? spinelli : uh , ever so slightly improved thanks to the ministrations of nurse mir and maximista . leyla : spinelli 's fever is down but he still needs to rest . you 've been here quite a while , so maybe you should -- maxie : yeah , you 're right , i should let you rest . he 's not contagious , right ? leyla : right . maxie : get better , that 's an order . spinelli : is she not heaven 's gift to mortal men ? [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] anthony : so ? claudia : i could n't do it . anthony : morgan was sick and you were alone with him , how tough would it have been ? claudia : first of all , his computer guy was there the entire time . it would have been a little suspicious with the cops , dad , do n't you think , if they both ended up dead ? anthony : we all have to make sacrifices . [ scene_break ] alexis : you know it 's interesting ; you two have virtually the same story , kind of like you rehearsed it . scott : you know , you 're supposed to prosecute the guilty , okay , not the -- not the victim . logan : you should go tell your sister what johnny really did , before he fills her head with lies . he 's dangerous , she should n't be around him .

[ scene_break ] sonny : hey , i thought we could celebrate . kate : perfect timing , i just heard some wonderful news . [ scene_break ] carly : what the hell is wrong with you ? why would you tell kate that i 'm pregnant when i 'm probably not ? jax : i 'm sorry , i just got carried away , that 's all . carly : we were having a perfectly fine evening , and then you tell my business , my personal business , to that woman ? jax : kate called with good news and i wanted to share the possibility of our good news . carly : i do n't want to share anything with kate , especially anything that has to do with you . jax : you do n't have to be jealous of my relationship with kate . i 've told you this before , she 's not interested in me . carly : really , and you know this because ? jax : well , for starters she 's getting married to sonny .

dante : look , i laid the corinthos case at your feet . you had more than enough evidence to convict . claire : i 'm not gon na let sonny slither out of this the way he always manages to do . michael 's testimony makes it a lock . dante : oh , come on , that is vindictive crap . you want to drag michael into this ? why ? the kid is already damaged enough by having the dubious honor of having sonny as a father . claire : oh , so here 's the firstborn drowning in divided loyalties . you know , you have no idea which side you 're on from one minute to the next , detective , do you ? you put this case together not knowing that sonny 's your father , but he is , and that fact changes everything . dante : no , that changes nothing . okay ? this case still is as strong as the one i built , and it has nothing to do with michael being a witness . claire : just admit you 're having second thoughts about seeing this through . dante : all right , you know what ? i 'm having second thoughts about you . i think what you 're doing here , this whole case , you 're going about it all wrong . claire : it may not be pretty , but in the end , i 'll do what i was brought in for -- to send your daddy to prison .

[ scene_break ] jason : why do you think kristina lied about who attacked her ? carly : she 's traumatized . people do strange things when they 've been abused . i think she 's lying to protect the person who really did this to her . jason : okay , who do you think that person is ? carly : who would a girl kristina 's age want to protect ? who would she be so afraid of losing , she 'd lie for ? her boyfriend , kiefer .

[ scene_break ] jason : okay , carly , let 's not jump to any conclusions . carly : why not ? you 're the one who realized kristina was lying . jason : well , i said that there 's a discrepancy in her story . she could be confused . carly : okay . as kristina tells it , sam took her home . they talked for a little while . as soon as sam left , ethan showed up at her door . which we know is impossible , because sam left the lake house and went directly to the haunted star where ethan works . a casino full of people saw sam and ethan talking . he could n't have been beating up kristina at the same time . jason : okay , i 'm gon na play the other side . kristina could be mixed up . carly : or she could be covering for kiefer , who i know to be a mean , angry , self - centered jerk . jason : just because you do n't like him does n't mean he did it . carly : i saw kiefer and kristina at kelly 's one night . i did n't like the way kiefer was treating her . when kiefer left , i talked to kristina for a while and i told her that she did n't have to put up with that from any guy . she immediately started making excuses for kiefer . i remember what it 's like to be that age , how your priorities are completely screwed up , jason . jason : and that convinced you that kiefer is capable of attacking her ? carly : kiefer 's a bully . he went after michael at the country club . he roughed up little morgan on the pier . kiefer 's possessive , he has an angry temper , and he 's not a nice kid . i bet you a million bucks he 's the one who beat up kristina . [ scene_break ] lucky : i want to help you , kristina . kristina : you saw me at the hospital . it was pretty bad ? lucky : yeah , it was . but you 're already looking better . you 're healing really well . kristina : sam helped me cover the bruises with makeup . lucky : that 's good . but , you know , you can cover the bruises until they fade , but how you feel inside does n't always heal so easily . kristina : it would help if the police were n't involved . lucky : but the police are involved , kristina . a crime was committed , a very violent crime , and we ca n't just look the other way . kristina : i do n't want ethan arrested . i do n't want to have to go through a trial . i ca n't . lucky : what do you want ? kristina : i want it to go away . lucky : kristina , listen , i 'll do everything i can to help you , okay ? kristina : i never should have said it was ethan . lucky : why not ? kristina : because ... now everyone will know . i pursued ethan even though he told me he was n't interested . i bugged him at work . i hacked into his email . no wonder he got so angry . lucky : no one has the right to hit you , ever . kristina : i do n't want to think about it anymore . i just want this to be over . you can make that happen , lucky , ca n't you ? you can help me ? lucky : look ... i know this is , uh , this is really hard for you , and , uh , we do n't have to discuss it anymore right now . kristina : but you can talk to my parents , right ? you can tell them i do n't want to go on trial . i want everyone to leave him alone . lucky : i know that feels like the right thing right now , but you just need more time , okay ? but , listen , i will do everything in my power to help you . okay ? we 'll talk soon . everything 's gon na be okay , kristina . [ scene_break ] ethan : oh , it 's nice to see a friendly face . lulu : have you completely lost it ? what were you thinking going to alexis ' house to confront kristina ? there 's a restraining order . ethan : there 's a queue outside for insults . you can wait your turn . lulu : you violated a court order . ethan : look , i thought you believed me when i told you i did n't hurt kristina . lulu : i do n't know what to believe . everything that you 're doing right now is screaming guilty . ethan : so i 'm screwed , then . the biggest mob boss is gunning for me and nobody believes me but luke . lulu : dad 's back ? ethan : yeah , this morning . he 's the only one who 's willing to take me at my word . lulu : dad does n't want to believe that you 're capable of doing something so awful because that would mean that you 're too much like him . ethan : like him how ? okay , what is this big secret that no one 's telling me ? what did luke do that was so awful ? [ scene_break ] luke : kristina came into the haunted star the night she was assaulted . she and ethan argued . i did n't like the way it went down . sonny : so you admit ethan 's capable of beating up my daughter ? luke : no , that 's not what i said . look , ethan knows that i would stand with him whether he did it or not , so he has no reason to lie to me . when he tells me he 's innocent , i believe him . sonny : kristina has even less reason to lie . luke : i 'm not saying she 's lying . of course not . but she 's traumatized . maybe she 's confused . maybe she 's afraid . sonny : kristina said it was ethan . no hesitations . luke : well , she 's wrong , sonny . it 's somebody else . you need to sic the dogs on somebody else and not scapegoat my son . sonny : you have to believe your son , protect him . i get that . but when i see my little girl , who looks like she was beat up with a baseball bat ... and she tells me it was ethan , i trust that what she 's saying is the truth . [ scene_break ] claire : when you were testifying , it sounded like you were pulling punches . your heart 's not in this , detective . dante : come on , you do n't know anything about me . i know sonny 's a killer . i 've seen what he can do close up . claire : like when he shot you in the chest ? dante : no . like when he ordered the murder of one of the best cops i 've ever known , lieutenant vince poletti . i was just a kid , but he was a guy i looked up to and sonny had him executed . and everything in my life from that day has led to this one -- taking down sonny corinthos . and the fact that he is now my father has not changed my mind . claire : look , detective , i 've read all about you . i asked around . i know the kind of work you do , the kind of man you are . dante : then why do you treat me like the enemy ? claire : 'cause i ca n't shake this feeling that you 're trying to protect sonny by keeping michael off the witness stand . dante : it 's not sonny that i 'm trying to protect . michael 's just a victim of sonny as poletti was . claire : yeah , well , michael 's also your brother , which clouds your thinking . that 's not a criticism , it 's a fact . dante : i 've been working on this case for months . okay ? brick by brick before i knew i had any kind of genetic connection to sonny . the day i got shot , i took a warrant to sonny 's house to arrest him . i thought we had a pretty solid case . i still do think we have a pretty solid case . but if you ca n't make it stick , maybe you 're not the right prosecutor for the job . i do n't know , maybe we should bring someone else in here that thinks michael deserves some compassion . claire : maybe your reluctance to keep michael from the witness stand has nothing to do with compassion . maybe you do n't want michael to reveal what he knows . or maybe you ca n't handle the fact that your father , with intent and malice aforethought , bludgeoned a woman to death . dante : my first day on the job we dragged a body from the river . it was a girl . she was 15 , she lived down the street , she worked as a prostitute . no one much cared . i 've seen this ugliness before . it does n't shock me to see what a witness might say or what a suspect might do . claire : even when the suspect is your own father ? dante : that does n't really mean anything to me . it does n't . he does n't . claire : your friend detective domestico tells me that you were all hung up about giving sonny one last full day . that you decided it was okay that he goes to this christening before serving a warrant and taking him into custody . now , seriously , compassion is all well and good , but you 're a cop , not a priest . dante : yeah , well , that was a mistake i made and i 've owned that , okay ? claire : do you actually buy that your father accidentally killed claudia ? that he did n't mean to whack her hard enough to crack her skull and kill her ? dante : sonny 's crazy . the guy has a temper . if he does n't get his way , he 's capable of doing pretty brutal things . and in my opinion , claudia 's the one who got michael shot , and on top of that , she hurt his pride . sonny does n't like to be made wrong . when he married claudia , he realized he made a big mistake . she deceived him for almost a year . he wanted to stop her from breathing . you 're damn right sonny meant to kill her . so that 's why you 're charging him for murder . so why do n't you just put the guy away and use all the evidence that i 've provided to you ? claire : because it will be a lot easier with michael on the stand . dante : no , this is n't supposed to be easy . that 's why you get all the glory . okay ? so put the bastard away and stop dragging the kid into this . claire : you lied about how you got shot . that 's very hard for me to overlook . now , i know you have integrity , dante . i suggest you find it , or you might as well turn in your badge .

[ scene_break ] [ telephone rings ] jason : not liking kiefer does n't make him guilty , carly . she accused ethan . carly : he did n't do it . jason : you know what ? i told lucky of the discrepancy in kristina 's story . he 's looking into it . now , i trust him that he 's going to be fair . carly : if she sends an innocent man to jail , or worse , gets him killed , she 'll have to live with that for the rest of her life , jason . jason : okay , if sonny thinks that you 're accusing kristina of lying , he is gon na go crazy . that is a distraction that we can not afford . the sooner sonny gets acquitted , the sooner michael comes home . now , if there was nobody else looking into the kristina thing , it would be different , but lucky 's taking care of it right now . carly : i should call lucky and i should tell him my suspicions about kiefer . jason : no , you should n't do anything . leave this thing with kristina for lucky to handle . carly : okay , fine .

[ scene_break ] luke : kristina came into the haunted star the night she was assaulted . she and ethan argued . i did n't like the way it went down . sonny : so you admit ethan 's capable of beating up my daughter ? luke : no , that 's not what i said . look , ethan knows that i would stand with him whether he did it or not , so he has no reason to lie to me . when he tells me he 's innocent , i believe him . sonny : kristina has even less reason to lie . luke : i 'm not saying she 's lying . of course not . but she 's traumatized . maybe she 's confused . maybe she 's afraid . sonny : kristina said it was ethan . no hesitations . luke : well , she 's wrong , sonny . it 's somebody else . you need to sic the dogs on somebody else and not scapegoat my son . sonny : you have to believe your son , protect him . i get that . but when i see my little girl , who looks like she was beat up with a baseball bat ... and she tells me it was ethan , i trust that what she 's saying is the truth . [ scene_break ] claire : when you were testifying , it sounded like you were pulling punches . your heart 's not in this , detective . dante : come on , you do n't know anything about me . i know sonny 's a killer . i 've seen what he can do close up . claire : like when he shot you in the chest ? dante : no . like when he ordered the murder of one of the best cops i 've ever known , lieutenant vince poletti . i was just a kid , but he was a guy i looked up to and sonny had him executed . and everything in my life from that day has led to this one -- taking down sonny corinthos . and the fact that he is now my father has not changed my mind . claire : look , detective , i 've read all about you . i asked around . i know the kind of work you do , the kind of man you are . dante : then why do you treat me like the enemy ? claire : 'cause i ca n't shake this feeling that you 're trying to protect sonny by keeping michael off the witness stand . dante : it 's not sonny that i 'm trying to protect . michael 's just a victim of sonny as poletti was . claire : yeah , well , michael 's also your brother , which clouds your thinking . that 's not a criticism , it 's a fact . dante : i 've been working on this case for months . okay ? brick by brick before i knew i had any kind of genetic connection to sonny . the day i got shot , i took a warrant to sonny 's house to arrest him . i thought we had a pretty solid case . i still do think we have a pretty solid case . but if you ca n't make it stick , maybe you 're not the right prosecutor for the job . i do n't know , maybe we should bring someone else in here that thinks michael deserves some compassion . claire : maybe your reluctance to keep michael from the witness stand has nothing to do with compassion . maybe you do n't want michael to reveal what he knows . or maybe you ca n't handle the fact that your father , with intent and malice aforethought , bludgeoned a woman to death . dante : my first day on the job we dragged a body from the river . it was a girl . she was 15 , she lived down the street , she worked as a prostitute . no one much cared . i 've seen this ugliness before . it does n't shock me to see what a witness might say or what a suspect might do . claire : even when the suspect is your own father ? dante : that does n't really mean anything to me . it does n't . he does n't . claire : your friend detective domestico tells me that you were all hung up about giving sonny one last full day . that you decided it was okay that he goes to this christening before serving a warrant and taking him into custody . now , seriously , compassion is all well and good , but you 're a cop , not a priest . dante : yeah , well , that was a mistake i made and i 've owned that , okay ? claire : do you actually buy that your father accidentally killed claudia ? that he did n't mean to whack her hard enough to crack her skull and kill her ? dante : sonny 's crazy . the guy has a temper . if he does n't get his way , he 's capable of doing pretty brutal things . and in my opinion , claudia 's the one who got michael shot , and on top of that , she hurt his pride . sonny does n't like to be made wrong . when he married claudia , he realized he made a big mistake . she deceived him for almost a year . he wanted to stop her from breathing . you 're damn right sonny meant to kill her . so that 's why you 're charging him for murder . so why do n't you just put the guy away and use all the evidence that i 've provided to you ? claire : because it will be a lot easier with michael on the stand . dante : no , this is n't supposed to be easy . that 's why you get all the glory . okay ? so put the bastard away and stop dragging the kid into this . claire : you lied about how you got shot . that 's very hard for me to overlook . now , i know you have integrity , dante . i suggest you find it , or you might as well turn in your badge .

[ scene_break ] [ telephone rings ] jason : not liking kiefer does n't make him guilty , carly . she accused ethan . carly : he did n't do it . jason : you know what ? i told lucky of the discrepancy in kristina 's story . he 's looking into it . now , i trust him that he 's going to be fair . carly : if she sends an innocent man to jail , or worse , gets him killed , she 'll have to live with that for the rest of her life , jason . jason : okay , if sonny thinks that you 're accusing kristina of lying , he is gon na go crazy . that is a distraction that we can not afford . the sooner sonny gets acquitted , the sooner michael comes home . now , if there was nobody else looking into the kristina thing , it would be different , but lucky 's taking care of it right now . carly : i should call lucky and i should tell him my suspicions about kiefer . jason : no , you should n't do anything . leave this thing with kristina for lucky to handle . carly : okay , fine .

[ scene_break ] jason : how did it go in court ? sonny : oh , diane seems to think that we came out ahead with dante 's testimony . jason : yeah ? how 's that ? sonny : well , he 's very careful . it seems like he was , you know , being a little bit protective , and with a cop like dante , you know , it shows that i 'm worth protecting . you do n't think he 's generous ? jason : sonny , to me dante 's a traitor . to you , he 's your flesh and blood . there 's not much middle ground . sonny : that 's the way it is with me and luke . i mean , he 's defending his son , but to me , ethan will always be the bastard who beat down my daughter . ca n't tolerate that , even if it costs me a lifelong friendship .

[ tray clatters ] kate ? ! linder : one in particular that comes to mind ... esther : you forgot the milk and lemon . rex : oh . i 'm terribly sorry . kay : uh , i will get it , ms. valentine . linder : mrs. chancellor and mr. sterling dressed up as the maid and the butler , and i was able to dress up as the lady of the house . i loved every minute of that . jason thompson ( billy ) my favorite moment was my first day , meeting everybody for the first time . the people that i was working with make daytime go around . billy : victoria , so what 's going on here ? is this some sort of hell ? am i supposed to just watch you guys grieve for me ? victor : if it helps you , we will use some of the profits and give it to a charity in billy 's name . billy : that 's my deal . thompson : billy has no boundaries on him . i feel like i can do anything with him and go from one scene to another scene with a different arc every single time , and i feel like i 've been through a lot of ups and downs with this guy already . jill : mwah . you do know that i love you , do n't you ? billy : in your frustrating , crazy kind of way , yes , i do . jill : [ chuckles ] well , i keep things interesting , though . billy : that you do . walton : for 30 years now , i 've been thanking god that i get to do this . linder : 11,000 episodes . how amazing . thompson : to the fans of `` young & the restless , `` we would not be doing what we do if it was n't for you . linder : keep tuning in . thompson : thank you for watching . walton : and thank you for celebrating 11,000 episodes with us . linder : now join us for this episode ... thompson : ... of `` the young & the restless . `` walton : enjoy the show . hilary : prepare to be amazed . jack : in a good way , right ? hilary : in a great way . it 's for the foundation . now , i have been cultivating a potential donor with very deep pockets , and my cultivation has paid off . jack : hilary , i hope -- hilary : before you ask , i played it straight out of the not - for - profit playbook . but here is the result . jack : a million dollars ? hilary : yeah , are n't you glad you kept me around ? jack : it 's starting to look like the smartest move neil and i ever made . this is fantastic ! hilary : [ chuckles ] neil : why do you think those two are so happy ? devon : well , 'cause a million dollars buys a lot of joy . hilary found a new major donor who , uh ... hey ! neil : hey ! devon : guys , how you doing ? i forgot that , uh , this is family tree day at school . how 'd the presentation go ? charlie : we won two gold stars . devon : you did ? neil : what ? ! devon : high five . congratulations . [ chuckles ] mattie : mommy promised us ice cream . lily : i did , but first , something you want to tell grandpa ? both : thank you , grandpa . neil : oh , i love you two . you 're very welcome , but i really did n't do anything . lily : yes , you did . you helped fill in the blanks on our family history . devon : especially the details about your parents . you get a gold star , too , man . lily : and do n't forget the ice cream . devon : [ chuckles ] neil : the ice cream ! that 's right ! let me hear it one more time ! whoo ! lily : and i figured since we were talking about them so much lately , maybe it 's time for you to reach out to them . neil : uh , lily , what have i told you ? i 'm good , you know ? i 'm -- i 've made peace with not having my parents in my ... life . hilary : is that what you told them ? victoria : god , my phone is blowing up . phyllis : alerts about adam ? victoria : i landed , i checked in with my kids , i headed straight here , and now this ? adam pled guilty to some other crime ? what the hell 's going on ? phyllis : well , when you hear what 's been going on around here , you will wish you stayed in mexico . billy : the good thing is , we wo n't be shelling out a bunch of money for a film diva . cane : uh - huh . so we go with an internet celebrity . billy : or a few of them realistically with large followings . cane : it 's still gon na be a lot cheaper . billy : but we hit the demographic on the head . cane : you know , it 's kind of crazy how we turned a perfume promotion into a whole new product line . billy : we just got to get mom to sign off on those . cane : she 'll sign off on it . just have to get victoria to sign off , if i knew where she was . billy : she 's in mexico . cane : what 's she doing in mexico ? billy : she 's there for business . i 'm not sure when she 's gon na be back . jill : [ laughs ] mmm . [ kissing ] billy : what the hell ? cane : dad , what are you doing ? colin : kid , good to see you . [ both laugh ] jill : look at them ! the look on their faces ! devon : is there a reason that you should n't have told the twins about your parents ? hilary : no , not at all . i 'm just surprised that neil was so open about his feelings , because i thought it was complicated . neil : which is what i tried to convey to these kids . lily : and they heard you . pretty much quoted you verbatim . tell your grandpa . mattie : `` not everyone stays close to their parents . `` charlie : `` when they become grown - ups . `` mattie : we 'll always stay close to you , mommy . lily : awww . we 'll always stay close to each other . devon : hey , how about i take the twins upstairs to the pool and get some ice cream before it gets too late ? lily : that 's a good idea . and actually , i 'll just follow you guys up there . devon : okay . neil : it 's about time . devon : thank you . jack : so , does everyone know the good news ? hilary : i have n't had the chance to tell them yet . neil : well , that 's 'cause , uh , devon actually beat you to it and ... congratulations . um , this one right here , she secured a major donation for our foundation . lily : well , you were always good at getting money from people . jack : well , this is for a very good cause . as a matter of fact , you and i should sit down and talk about how we 're gon na allocate these very generous funds . neil : yeah . generous . hilary : well , i will let you get upstairs to your children . what ? lily : i saw the look between you and my dad when you mentioned his parents . you know something . hilary : i know everything that you know . lily : you know , after all the tricks that you pulled on my family , the least you owe me is some honesty . hilary : and after all of the drinks that you poured on me and the times that you pushed into the pool , i owe you ? lily : fine , then do it for my dad and devon , then . hilary : why ca n't you just drop this ? okay , fine . neil -- his parents did n't just drift away . he pushed them out of his life . lily : are you calling my father a liar ? hilary : [ sighs ] well , do you want proof , or do n't you ? jack : i know you had your doubts about keeping hilary on the board , but i see this , i 'm very grateful that you voted in her favor . neil : thanks . yeah . uh , lily 's accusing me of casting my vote out of guilt . jack : is she right ? neil : maybe . i just hope that for devon 's sake hilary 's learned from her mistakes , man . i also hope that your vote did n't come at too great a personal cost . jack : you mean phyllis ? neil : we know that she does n't care for hilary much . jack : and that 's putting it tactfully . neil : uh - huh . jack ... a million - dollar donation . that 's hell of a lot of money . but let 's face it . a good marriage -- priceless . victoria : this does n't make any sense . the guard must have said something or done something . phyllis : adam thought the guard was victor . victoria : he thought he was attacking our father ? i can only imagine how that must have made my dad feel . how 's the guard ? phyllis : in a coma . victoria : [ sighs ] well , there must be something that we can say to make the judge understand . phyllis : michael -- i - i - i do n't know . i spoke to him , and he tried everything he could to get adam out of that prison , but he 's insisting on pleading guilty . victoria : that does n't sound like my brother . he 's usually all about self- preservation no matter who it hurts . phyllis : not anymore . he fired michael . victoria : what ? phyllis : yeah . and the way it 's looking for your brother , it does not seem like he 's gon na want any representation for tomorrow 's sentencing . victoria : oh , man . poor chelsea . just when she had reason to hope . phyllis : well , welcome home ! hope 's in short supply these days . victoria : i 'm sorry i do n't have better news for you , phyllis . phyllis : well , it is not your fault . when you called me and told me that travis would not help us bring luca down , you know , i ... i had to resign myself to the unpleasant reality that my daughter is going to marry a rat . i did not totally resign myself , but , i mean , for summer 's sake , i 'm not gon na fight it . unless you think there is a chance . victoria : uh , no . travis is perfectly happy on his boat . he wants nothing to do with that cutthroat world that he left behind . phyllis : even if it means leaving you behind , too ? victoria : there was a moment when i thought that ... [ chuckles ] you know what ? travis ' life is out there somewhere , and mine is here with my children and my work and my family . i do n't need anything else . billy : really wish i could unsee that . cane : all right , dad , listen , we 're gon na go . and please do n't do it on the conference table 'cause we have to work on there . jill : oh , my god . who did you two get to be such ridiculous prudes ? cane : oh , please . jill : i am merely showing my husband that i 'm very glad he 's back in town . colin : listen to me . even in the dog days of summer , chicago 's a pretty cold place without cookie here . jill : mm - hmm . billy : oh , my ... colin : look , i 'm just trying to show my wife that i missed her . is that a crime ? billy : uh , well , you should know . have you committed any felonies lately , stepdad ? jill : do n't you dare judge him ! this is a committed family man . this is a quality you should aspire to . billy : oh , no , no , no . do n't even try and go there . i love my children . i have spent as much time as possible with them with victoria being away ! jill : she would n't be away if you gave her a reason to stick around ! colin : is -- is this what it 's been like since you started work here ? cane : pretty much . jill : can i help it if i know better than our sons what is good for them ? billy : that 's right . right , mother ? you know best . you do n't need me , just like i do n't need you . so i quit . cane : you know what ? i wanted to win this by actually putting in the hard work , but if you want to quit , go . go . forfeit . 'cause you know what ? people are just gon na say , `` billy abbott 's the loser that quits when everything gets too hard . `` so i 'll see you later . bye . billy : it 's a good speech . cane : that was a good speech , was n't it ? billy : okay , fine . i 'll stay . under one condition . colin , you can help with this . tell your wife to stop micromanaging my love life . colin : the micromanagement has really worked . i mean , it shows that you and cane and victoria can really be a team and work well together . and on that transformation , i 'm now ready to look at the house room by room , detail by detail . jill : oh , and just to check out the code , we need to poke and prod every nook and cranny . billy : you know what that means ? cane : yeah , and i 'm getting sick just thinking about it . okay , please do n't do it . billy : stop . enough . you can have the house tonight . you can poke and prod anywhere you want . just stay out of my bedroom , all right ? jill : where you gon na be ? billy : i do n't care . it does n't matter . anywhere but there . i 'll see you tomorrow . colin : [ sighs ] well ... cane : really ? colin : you seemed to have lit a fire under him . anyway , you also seemed to have convinced my son to follow his true path and partner in this exciting adventure . cane : uh , there 's no partner in this exciting adventure . you know why ? because all she 's done is made vicki , billy , and i compete . jill : oh , please ! did n't you just say that that competition inspired you ? cane : right , 'cause i 've invested all my time into making sure that this is one of the best cosmetic companies in the world , and all you 've done is made sure that we fight with each other and compete . jill : not true , not true at all ! cane : really ? jill : you know what i am dedicating myself to ? three things -- your success , all of us making a lot of money , and yes , billy 's happiness by any means necessary . phyllis : go home to your kids . believe me -- they grow up way too fast . victoria : you know , i really do hope things work out for summer . i remember when , uh , i was a blushing bride , and i thought till death do us part meant it was gon na last forever . i 'll see you later . phyllis : okay . take care . billy : ready for our first dance ? so , how does it feel , mrs. billy abbott ? phyllis : like i 'm floating . no more pretending , no more hiding . there was confusion and heartbreak for jack and summer and victoria . and some people like jill will never understand , but here we are . we 're happy . we 're married . our real life can begin . jack : may i cut in ? yeah , my marriage has seen some tough times . neil : yeah , phyllis is back home now . i 'm assuming that everything is moving forward , jack ? jack : let 's just say i 'm determined to be hopeful . neil : yeah ? what about phyllis ? jack : phyllis has made a real effort . not only has she let go of her need for revenge against victor . she 's actually come to accept summer 's upcoming marriage to luca . neil : whoa , whoa . now , hold on . that 's a giant step . maybe there is hope for hilary after all . jack : she will come to see hilary as an asset rather than a threat eventually . neil : [ laughs ] you 're just hoping for hope , right ? man , look , i 'm just glad that you and phyllis are back together again , especially after today 's news . jack : oh , adam , you mean . boy , that hit me hard . after all these years of trying to build a life worth living and through no fault of his own , god , it breaks my heart . neil : just remember , jack , you 've got someone you love by your side . it 's worth living your life for , man . jack : you know what ? you could have the same thing if you stopped being such a loner . neil : well , i 'm not -- i 'm not -- i 'm not alone . jack : oh ? is there a new woman in your life ? neil : [ sighs ] i 'm talking about my family , jack . they 're beautiful people , and i - i almost lost them . jack : but they forgave you . neil : thankfully . and the best part is that we actually trust each other again . trust -- it 's the glue that binds us together , jack . lily : you stole my father 's mail ? hilary : i did n't steal it , okay ? it came shortly after our wedding . lily : well , why do you still have it ? you 're not married anymore . hilary : just read it . do you want to know the truth about your grandparents or not ? lily : `` dearest neil , i keep hoping you 'll answer my letters . just a word would mean so much , one word to say you forgive me . until that day , you 're in my prayers . your loving mother . `` hilary : neil tossed it and he never mentioned it . he also got ... these , as well . lily : some of these are addressed to me . hilary : and devon and moses and the twins . somehow your grandmother , she 's keeping tabs on all of you . but neil , he threw everything out unread . lily : why did you keep these ? hilary : because i thought that maybe neil might have a change of heart one day . lily : or because you wanted to use them to your advantage . hilary : [ sighs ] yes , of course you would come to that conclusion . you know , lily , you always seem to overlook the fact that there was a time where i truly did deeply care for your father . those letters -- [ sighs ] they belong to your family , so keep them . okay ? you can do whatever you want with them . you can throw them back in the trash for all i care . but if you want to know how neil truly feels about his mother and his father , you 're more likely to find it in those letters than on that perfect family tree . victoria : hey . what are you doing here ? billy : just put the kids down . victoria : and ? billy : and what ? victoria : uh , well , johnny usually wants a bedtime story , but he does n't usually need a shaving lesson . what 's going on , billy ? billy : my mother and colin took over chateau billy , so i thought i 'd stay here tonight . victoria : hannah did n't tell you i was gon na be back ? billy : she probably assumed that i knew . it 's all good . i can get a place at the club . no problem . victoria : billy . stay . neil : so why did your highness want to see me ? oh , wait . let me guess . there 's a problem with the million - dollar donation . yeah , yeah , yeah , yeah . i should have seen this coming from a mile away . hilary : no , the donation is on the level . even if you 're not . neil : what are you talking about ? hilary : i gave lily the letter . neil : what letter ? hilary : the one that you tossed in the trash when we were married , the one from your mother . you remember your mother , do n't you ? she was the woman that went her way while you went yours . even the twins -- they know the story . well , it is too bad that grandpa is a big , fat liar . neil : you had no right ! -- none -- to give her that letter . hilary : no right ? in your daughter 's eyes , i am a lying , two - faced bitch . and your son , as much as he loves me , he questions my motives . but you -- you are the one that is keeping secrets and telling lies ! so why , neil ? why , after all of this time , after everyone has forgiven you for the things that you 've done to me and the things that you 've done to devon ? tell me ! why ca n't you forgive your own mother ? cane : hey ! charlie : daddy , come swim with us ! mattie : we can teach you the game uncle devon taught us . cane : i will next time , on one condition , all right ? you let daddy win . devon : hey , about we go and get some ice cream now ? cane : you want some ice cream ? devon : yeah ? mattie : yeah . devon : let 's go , let 's go . cane : come on . devon : let 's do it . twins : hi , mom ! cane : hey . hey . what 's the matter ? lily : well , i thought i could trust my dad again . but he 's been lying to me . he 's been lying to all of us . jill : you have n't said one word about the renovations ! colin : the renovations . um ... well , the renovation seems like , uh , same ol ' , same ol ' . jill : this was hard work putting this all back together ! colin : huh ? jill : but i think katherine would be pleased , do n't you ? colin : i think , um , i think kattykins would probably give you the thumbs up . [ both laugh ] colin : however ... jill : hmm ? colin : she might be less approving of your scheming . jill : ohhh . that 's why you 're in this mood . i will have you know that all i am trying to do is encourage your son ... colin : mm - hmm . jill : ... and find happiness for mine . colin : ah . [ chuckles ] sweetheart , that malarkey might work with the boys . ai n't gon na cut it with me . there 's more to this story . much more . billy : get the kids back down ? victoria : yeah . after about 20 questions from johnny about my trip . billy : he 's a smart boy . he takes after his mother . here . assume you could use it . victoria : why ? billy : mexico . sailboat . travis . victoria : [ sighs ] how did you know ? billy : phyllis told me . victoria : hmm . okay , so then i guess you know that my trip was a big , fat bust . billy : you tried . victoria : gee , thanks . billy : when i heard you were going south of the border , it occurred to me that you might sail away with this guy and never come back . victoria : yeah , well , he wanted me to . billy : what stopped you ? victoria : [ sighs ] victoria : i am not gon na lie to you . i was tempted to stay on that boat with travis and sail off into parts unknown . but , um ... i mean , come on . that 's just a romantic daydream , right ? billy : well , did n't have to be . i would have watched the kids until you sailed back home . victoria : hmm . mm - hmm . sure , well , i mean , there 's work , right ? billy : no , see , that 's not gon na fly , either , 'cause cane and i both could have kept brash & sassy humming until you did make your way back home . so what 's the real reason why you did n't stay with him ? victoria : wow . you are so smart . why do n't you tell me ? billy : okay . it 's not the thought of what you were leaving behind . it 's the fear of the new horizon . a new relationship , new feelings , new dangers . victoria : dangers ? wow . billy : falling in love is the most dangerous thing you could ever do . victoria : you sound like someone who knows . billy : look at that . i broke the rules , did n't i ? we promised not to meddle in each other 's personal lives . victoria : ah ! look ! that 's it . that 's it , is n't it ? you have someone , not just someone who fits into your `` hit 'em and quit 'em `` routine , right ? you found someone special . like travis is to me . i 'm right , are n't i ? billy : what does it matter ? nothing lasts forever . look at us . victoria : yeah , you 're right . you know , i was thinking that on the plane ride back home , but ... billy , you ca n't check your feelings like you check your bags . jack : hey , what a nice surprise . i thought you had to work late tonight . phyllis : changed my mind . jack : okay . obviously you 're upset about something . what is it ? did you tell victor you 're not gon na fight summer 's wedding anymore ? phyllis : oh , no . victor has other things to worry about . jack : adam 's new situation . phyllis : besides , victoria came back without travis . jack : at least you were forewarned . phyllis : yeah , and that sealed the deal . and since this wedding train is taking off , i 'm gon na jump aboard , you know . i am going to keep my word and support my daughter even if i dread the moment when they say , `` who gives this woman in marriage ? `` and nick has to say , `` her mother and i do . `` so ... jack : i 'm sorry . phyllis : [ sighs deeply ] jack : hey , i got something that might cheer you up a little . phyllis : yes . please . jack : check it out . phyllis : wow . cool million . jack : thanks to hilary . phyllis : she brought this in ? jack : without an assist from me or neil . phyllis : well ... play it safe . deposit it before it bounces . cane : i do n't understand . hey . devon : i think i made a bad call with the , uh , the post - pool ice cream . cane : all right , all right . all right , i 'm gon na get you guys dressed and warm , all right ? we 'll talk about this later , okay ? come on . let 's go . devon : hey . i thought the kids ' handiwork made you happy . what 's wrong ? something they put in the family tree ? lily : something that was left out -- on purpose . neil : you have no right to question me or my motives . you lost that privilege a long time ago , the minute that we got divorced . i 'm leaving . hilary : okay , you do n't owe me an explanation , but you need to talk to someone , neil . neil : i do n't need to do anything . get out of my -- hilary : the truth about your mother , it is eating you up ! i can tell ! i 've been there ! or have you forgot that i have many mommy issues of my own ? neil : [ sighs ] it 's not that simple . hilary : well , try me . neil , you have to talk to someone . better me than devon or lily , because you hate me . you do n't care what i think about you . so what do you have to lose ? and no , i am not recording this to use for blackmail , if that 's what you 're thinking , okay ? neil : i really do n't care what you do . [ sighs ] the truth is , all i know is what my father told me , you know . my -- my mother was -- i mean , what 's a nice way of saying -- unhappy . unfaithful . she was there in the house , and then she was gone . i did n't know if she walked out or my father threw her out . all i remember is the silence that filled that house . it was deafening . broke my father 's heart . hilary : and yours . neil : she used to send me letters every year . and i - i did n't read any of them . hilary : you were n't even curious ? neil : no , i 'm -- i was n't then and i 'm not now . and then after my dad pulled himself together , he fell in love . beautiful woman .

[ sighs ] well , it 's getting late . i 'm gon na go upstairs . and i 'm gon na get your pillow and blanket so you can sleep on the couch . billy : right . jack : i do n't want to talk about the foundation or summer 's wedding or adam 's sentencing . phyllis : well , that pretty much takes all and every conversation that we have on the table , so let 's go home . jack : actually , i was hoping that i could show you , not tell you , how much you mean to me , how much i adore that smile . phyllis : well , i adore yours , too . jack : you know , we have the space practically to ourselves . phyllis : are -- i ca n't even believe what you 're suggesting . jack : well , nothing that scandalous , but i like the way you think . phyllis : [ chuckles ] what are you suggesting ? jack : i 'm just talking about a little dance . come on . phyllis : well , jack , there 's no music that i can hear . jack : you know what they say . we can make our own music . phyllis : but there are customers and waiters watching us . jack : ohh , let them watch . let 's pretend this is our first dance , mrs. abbott . hey . what is it ? what 's wrong ? cane : hey . the kids are playing with some kids from school . so , what 's up with the letters ? lily : they 're from my dad 's mom . he threw them away . cane : where 'd you find them ? lily : hilary had them . if she had n't saved these letters , we never would have known there was more to the story . cane : which is ? lily : i do n't know . she 's asking to be forgiven in them , but i do n't know why . i mean , what could she have done that was so horrible ? why would my dad have the need to lie about it ? cane : well , there 's a return address , so maybe it 's time you got in touch with your grandmother and you found out the whole story . neil : you know what ? from now on , why do n't you stick to foundation business and worrying about your own life ? focus on making my son happy and stop digging in the past . hilary : you will never be free from the past until you can forgive me , okay ? forgive me , neil , for cheating on you the way that your mother cheated on your father . neil : would you just stop ? just drop this . devon : hey . she 's just trying to help the family . neil : yeah , okay . devon , i -- you -- you do n't know what 's going on here . devon : well , lily showed me all the cards and the letters , so you want to tell me what they mean ? neil : they mean despite what your wife says , some things are better left in the past .

[ laughs ] phyllis : no , no , no , no . nothing 's wrong . i just -- i 'm -- i 'm self - conscious with the waiters and the customers watching . that 's all . jack : come here . come here . it 's not like you to be embarrassed . besides , as far as the onlookers go , they 're just looking at me , seeing a lucky guy who 's got a beautiful woman in his arms . phyllis : i 'm the lucky one . you know , despite my worries for summer , you know , i do wish i could be a bride again . jack : do you really ? phyllis : yeah . so we could start over and undo all the wrong turns and missteps and missed opportunities . jack : hey , hey , hey . you are still my bride . victoria : okay ! i hope you wo n't be too uncomfortable . but then again , it 's not the first time you slept on the couch .

<s>[INST] jess walton ( jill ) : i started the show in 1987 , so i have a lot of memories to share . and most of them , the really funny ones , are with jeanne cooper . kay : facts are facts , jill , as much as you would like to rewrite history . jill : oh , this is ludicrous . [ glass shatters ] jill : not now ! kay : aah ! give me chloe ! jill : ah ! walton : she and i had the most wonderful relationship . the one that i particularly remember that i loved was when it was discovered that phillip had left the house to jill . esther : that toast is for mrs. chancellor . jill : do you want it back ? kay : choke on it , jill . walton : and i , of course , resented her little chihuahua of a maid , esther , so jill rented this very large doberman . kay : what is that ? jill : his name is ralph . kay : um , esther , have robert bring the car around to , uh , the back entrance , please . kate linder ( esther ) : after 34 years , i have a lot of favorite moments , of course . esther : could i give you a hug ? champagne for the groom and sparkling cider for the ...

[ chuckles ] mattie : mommy promised us ice cream . lily : i did , but first , something you want to tell grandpa ? both : thank you , grandpa . neil : oh , i love you two . you 're very welcome , but i really did n't do anything . lily : yes , you did . you helped fill in the blanks on our family history . devon : especially the details about your parents . you get a gold star , too , man . lily : and do n't forget the ice cream . devon : [ chuckles ] neil : the ice cream ! that 's right ! let me hear it one more time ! whoo ! lily : and i figured since we were talking about them so much lately , maybe it 's time for you to reach out to them . neil : uh , lily , what have i told you ? i 'm good , you know ? i 'm -- i 've made peace with not having my parents in my ... life . hilary : is that what you told them ? victoria : god , my phone is blowing up . phyllis : alerts about adam ? victoria : i landed , i checked in with my kids , i headed straight here , and now this ? adam pled guilty to some other crime ? what the hell 's going on ? phyllis : well , when you hear what 's been going on around here , you will wish you stayed in mexico . billy : the good thing is , we wo n't be shelling out a bunch of money for a film diva . cane : uh - huh . so we go with an internet celebrity . billy : or a few of them realistically with large followings . cane : it 's still gon na be a lot cheaper . billy : but we hit the demographic on the head . cane : you know , it 's kind of crazy how we turned a perfume promotion into a whole new product line . billy : we just got to get mom to sign off on those . cane : she 'll sign off on it . just have to get victoria to sign off , if i knew where she was . billy : she 's in mexico . cane : what 's she doing in mexico ? billy : she 's there for business . i 'm not sure when she 's gon na be back . jill : [ laughs ] mmm . [ kissing ] billy : what the hell ? cane : dad , what are you doing ? colin : kid , good to see you . [ both laugh ] jill : look at them ! the look on their faces ! devon : is there a reason that you should n't have told the twins about your parents ? hilary : no , not at all . i 'm just surprised that neil was so open about his feelings , because i thought it was complicated . neil : which is what i tried to convey to these kids . lily : and they heard you . pretty much quoted you verbatim . tell your grandpa . mattie : `` not everyone stays close to their parents . `` charlie : `` when they become grown - ups . `` mattie : we 'll always stay close to you , mommy . lily : awww . we 'll always stay close to each other . devon : hey , how about i take the twins upstairs to the pool and get some ice cream before it gets too late ? lily : that 's a good idea . and actually , i 'll just follow you guys up there . devon : okay . neil : it 's about time . devon : thank you . jack : so , does everyone know the good news ? hilary : i have n't had the chance to tell them yet . neil : well , that 's 'cause , uh , devon actually beat you to it and ... congratulations . um , this one right here , she secured a major donation for our foundation . lily : well , you were always good at getting money from people . jack : well , this is for a very good cause . as a matter of fact , you and i should sit down and talk about how we 're gon na allocate these very generous funds . neil : yeah . generous . hilary : well , i will let you get upstairs to your children . what ? lily : i saw the look between you and my dad when you mentioned his parents . you know something . hilary : i know everything that you know . lily : you know , after all the tricks that you pulled on my family , the least you owe me is some honesty . hilary : and after all of the drinks that you poured on me and the times that you pushed into the pool , i owe you ? lily : fine , then do it for my dad and devon , then . hilary : why ca n't you just drop this ? okay , fine . neil -- his parents did n't just drift away . he pushed them out of his life . lily : are you calling my father a liar ? hilary : [ sighs ] well , do you want proof , or do n't you ? jack : i know you had your doubts about keeping hilary on the board , but i see this , i 'm very grateful that you voted in her favor . neil : thanks . yeah . uh , lily 's accusing me of casting my vote out of guilt . jack : is she right ? neil : maybe . i just hope that for devon 's sake hilary 's learned from her mistakes , man . i also hope that your vote did n't come at too great a personal cost . jack : you mean phyllis ? neil : we know that she does n't care for hilary much . jack : and that 's putting it tactfully . neil : uh - huh . jack ... a million - dollar donation . that 's hell of a lot of money . but let 's face it . a good marriage -- priceless . victoria : this does n't make any sense . the guard must have said something or done something . phyllis : adam thought the guard was victor . victoria : he thought he was attacking our father ? i can only imagine how that must have made my dad feel . how 's the guard ? phyllis : in a coma . victoria : [ sighs ] well , there must be something that we can say to make the judge understand . phyllis : michael -- i - i - i do n't know . i spoke to him , and he tried everything he could to get adam out of that prison , but he 's insisting on pleading guilty . victoria : that does n't sound like my brother . he 's usually all about self- preservation no matter who it hurts . phyllis : not anymore . he fired michael . victoria : what ? phyllis : yeah . and the way it 's looking for your brother , it does not seem like he 's gon na want any representation for tomorrow 's sentencing . victoria : oh , man . poor chelsea . just when she had reason to hope . phyllis : well , welcome home ! hope 's in short supply these days . victoria : i 'm sorry i do n't have better news for you , phyllis . phyllis : well , it is not your fault . when you called me and told me that travis would not help us bring luca down , you know , i ... i had to resign myself to the unpleasant reality that my daughter is going to marry a rat . i did not totally resign myself , but , i mean , for summer 's sake , i 'm not gon na fight it . unless you think there is a chance . victoria : uh , no . travis is perfectly happy on his boat . he wants nothing to do with that cutthroat world that he left behind . phyllis : even if it means leaving you behind , too ? victoria : there was a moment when i thought that ... [ chuckles ] you know what ? travis ' life is out there somewhere , and mine is here with my children and my work and my family . i do n't need anything else . billy : really wish i could unsee that . cane : all right , dad , listen , we 're gon na go . and please do n't do it on the conference table 'cause we have to work on there . jill : oh , my god . who did you two get to be such ridiculous prudes ? cane : oh , please . jill : i am merely showing my husband that i 'm very glad he 's back in town . colin : listen to me . even in the dog days of summer , chicago 's a pretty cold place without cookie here . jill : mm - hmm . billy : oh , my ... colin : look , i 'm just trying to show my wife that i missed her . is that a crime ? billy : uh , well , you should know . have you committed any felonies lately , stepdad ? jill : do n't you dare judge him ! this is a committed family man . this is a quality you should aspire to . billy : oh , no , no , no . do n't even try and go there . i love my children . i have spent as much time as possible with them with victoria being away ! jill : she would n't be away if you gave her a reason to stick around ! colin : is -- is this what it 's been like since you started work here ? cane : pretty much . jill : can i help it if i know better than our sons what is good for them ? billy : that 's right . right , mother ? you know best . you do n't need me , just like i do n't need you . so i quit . cane : you know what ? i wanted to win this by actually putting in the hard work , but if you want to quit , go . go . forfeit . 'cause you know what ? people are just gon na say , `` billy abbott 's the loser that quits when everything gets too hard . `` so i 'll see you later . bye . billy : it 's a good speech . cane : that was a good speech , was n't it ? billy : okay , fine . i 'll stay . under one condition . colin , you can help with this . tell your wife to stop micromanaging my love life . colin : the micromanagement has really worked . i mean , it shows that you and cane and victoria can really be a team and work well together . and on that transformation , i 'm now ready to look at the house room by room , detail by detail . jill : oh , and just to check out the code , we need to poke and prod every nook and cranny . billy : you know what that means ? cane : yeah , and i 'm getting sick just thinking about it . okay , please do n't do it . billy : stop . enough . you can have the house tonight . you can poke and prod anywhere you want . just stay out of my bedroom , all right ? jill : where you gon na be ? billy : i do n't care . it does n't matter . anywhere but there . i 'll see you tomorrow . colin : [ sighs ] well ... cane : really ? colin : you seemed to have lit a fire under him . anyway , you also seemed to have convinced my son to follow his true path and partner in this exciting adventure . cane : uh , there 's no partner in this exciting adventure . you know why ? because all she 's done is made vicki , billy , and i compete . jill : oh , please ! did n't you just say that that competition inspired you ? cane : right , 'cause i 've invested all my time into making sure that this is one of the best cosmetic companies in the world , and all you 've done is made sure that we fight with each other and compete . jill : not true , not true at all ! cane : really ? jill : you know what i am dedicating myself to ? three things -- your success , all of us making a lot of money , and yes , billy 's happiness by any means necessary . phyllis : go home to your kids . believe me -- they grow up way too fast . victoria : you know , i really do hope things work out for summer . i remember when , uh , i was a blushing bride , and i thought till death do us part meant it was gon na last forever . i 'll see you later . phyllis : okay . take care . billy : ready for our first dance ? so , how does it feel , mrs. billy abbott ? phyllis : like i 'm floating . no more pretending , no more hiding . there was confusion and heartbreak for jack and summer and victoria . and some people like jill will never understand , but here we are . we 're happy . we 're married . our real life can begin . jack : may i cut in ? yeah , my marriage has seen some tough times . neil : yeah , phyllis is back home now . i 'm assuming that everything is moving forward , jack ? jack : let 's just say i 'm determined to be hopeful . neil : yeah ? what about phyllis ? jack : phyllis has made a real effort . not only has she let go of her need for revenge against victor . she 's actually come to accept summer 's upcoming marriage to luca . neil : whoa , whoa . now , hold on . that 's a giant step . maybe there is hope for hilary after all . jack : she will come to see hilary as an asset rather than a threat eventually . neil : [ laughs ] you 're just hoping for hope , right ? man , look , i 'm just glad that you and phyllis are back together again , especially after today 's news . jack : oh , adam , you mean . boy , that hit me hard . after all these years of trying to build a life worth living and through no fault of his own , god , it breaks my heart . neil : just remember , jack , you 've got someone you love by your side . it 's worth living your life for , man . jack : you know what ? you could have the same thing if you stopped being such a loner . neil : well , i 'm not -- i 'm not -- i 'm not alone . jack : oh ? is there a new woman in your life ? neil : [ sighs ] i 'm talking about my family , jack . they 're beautiful people , and i - i almost lost them . jack : but they forgave you . neil : thankfully . and the best part is that we actually trust each other again . trust -- it 's the glue that binds us together , jack . lily : you stole my father 's mail ? hilary : i did n't steal it , okay ? it came shortly after our wedding . lily : well , why do you still have it ? you 're not married anymore . hilary : just read it . do you want to know the truth about your grandparents or not ? lily : `` dearest neil , i keep hoping you 'll answer my letters . just a word would mean so much , one word to say you forgive me . until that day , you 're in my prayers . your loving mother . `` hilary : neil tossed it and he never mentioned it . he also got ... these , as well . lily : some of these are addressed to me . hilary : and devon and moses and the twins . somehow your grandmother , she 's keeping tabs on all of you . but neil , he threw everything out unread . lily : why did you keep these ? hilary : because i thought that maybe neil might have a change of heart one day . lily : or because you wanted to use them to your advantage . hilary : [ sighs ] yes , of course you would come to that conclusion . you know , lily , you always seem to overlook the fact that there was a time where i truly did deeply care for your father . those letters -- [ sighs ] they belong to your family , so keep them . okay ? you can do whatever you want with them . you can throw them back in the trash for all i care . but if you want to know how neil truly feels about his mother and his father , you 're more likely to find it in those letters than on that perfect family tree . victoria : hey . what are you doing here ? billy : just put the kids down . victoria : and ? billy : and what ? victoria : uh , well , johnny usually wants a bedtime story , but he does n't usually need a shaving lesson . what 's going on , billy ? billy : my mother and colin took over chateau billy , so i thought i 'd stay here tonight . victoria : hannah did n't tell you i was gon na be back ? billy : she probably assumed that i knew . it 's all good . i can get a place at the club . no problem . victoria : billy . stay . neil : so why did your highness want to see me ? oh , wait . let me guess . there 's a problem with the million - dollar donation . yeah , yeah , yeah , yeah . i should have seen this coming from a mile away . hilary : no , the donation is on the level . even if you 're not . neil : what are you talking about ? hilary : i gave lily the letter . neil : what letter ? hilary : the one that you tossed in the trash when we were married , the one from your mother . you remember your mother , do n't you ? she was the woman that went her way while you went yours . even the twins -- they know the story . well , it is too bad that grandpa is a big , fat liar . neil : you had no right ! -- none -- to give her that letter . hilary : no right ? in your daughter 's eyes , i am a lying , two - faced bitch . and your son , as much as he loves me , he questions my motives . but you -- you are the one that is keeping secrets and telling lies ! so why , neil ? why , after all of this time , after everyone has forgiven you for the things that you 've done to me and the things that you 've done to devon ? tell me ! why ca n't you forgive your own mother ? cane : hey ! charlie : daddy , come swim with us ! mattie : we can teach you the game uncle devon taught us . cane : i will next time , on one condition , all right ? you let daddy win . devon : hey , about we go and get some ice cream now ? cane : you want some ice cream ? devon : yeah ? mattie : yeah . devon : let 's go , let 's go . cane : come on . devon : let 's do it . twins : hi , mom ! cane : hey . hey . what 's the matter ? lily : well , i thought i could trust my dad again . but he 's been lying to me . he 's been lying to all of us . jill : you have n't said one word about the renovations ! colin : the renovations . um ... well , the renovation seems like , uh , same ol ' , same ol ' . jill : this was hard work putting this all back together ! colin : huh ?

[ scene_break ] claudia : i ca n't wait to hear what it is you think you know about me . sonny : power is as important to you as it is to me . probably more important to you because , you know , this is your real shot at getting any . you 've had a vision in your head ever since we got married that you and i were going to , you know , run your family 's organization as a team and you think that if you have sex with me then you can manipulate me . claudia : i 'll give you one thing . i do love power . as a matter of fact , i 'd just assume slip it on with my clothes in the morning , wield it as a weapon against anybody who 's ever hurt me or disrespected me . but here 's where your little analysis hits a snag . i do n't delude myself into thinking i can manipulate you with sex . i tried that once and i failed miserably . but sleeping together implies a certain trust . maybe it 's only physical , but that 's a place to start , and you have to admit , we 're awesome in bed . it 's hard to see a downside to that . sonny : you do n't understand what i 'm saying . you know what ? you just do n't have the information . claudia : meaning ? sonny : well , it 's just that you 've never been in love . you 've never been part of a family . so , you have no way of knowing how shallow this arrangement you 're proposing really is . [ scene_break ] nadine : thanks . nikolas : you 're welcome . nadine : bruce was the greatest guy i 'd ever known . he was handsome and smart and so much fun . he was the first person besides aunt raylene who ever really got me . nikolas : how did you meet him ? nadine : four - h. i was six . he was eight . by the time i caught up to him in high school , we were already madly in love from that all consuming way only kids can be . i mean , everyone assumed that we were going to end up married and we probably would have if he -- nikolas : if what ? whatever it is , if it 's too painful to talk about , you do n't have to . nadine : no , it 's okay . bruce really wanted to go to college , but his parents could n't afford it and as wonderful as he was , he was n't exactly scholarship material . so , he joined the army . i was really proud of him . he was so eager to serve his country , and i was also really scared for him , too , of course . and the next time i saw him after he left was at salter 's funeral home in his coffin . nikolas : i 'm sorry . nadine : if refusing to license aunt raylene 's patent to a company that 's going to use it as a weapon , it saves just one person or one family from losing someone that they love , then i am obligated to do it . [ scene_break ] jerry 's voice : hello again , claudia . i mean , at least i hope it 's you listening to this , and if it 's sonny , i 'm afraid that our duel of wits has come to an abrupt and , no doubt , unpleasant end . but i digress . i mean , you are the one i wanted to play against and i trusted you were resourceful enough to stay in the game . so , if you are , congratulations for making it so far . now pay attention to the second clue . you will sleep sounder when you 've found it . that 's it . that 's the second clue , darling . ric : claudia . claudia : hey , i did n't expect you to come back so soon . did you change your mind ? have you decided to tell me what daddy 's real plan is ? ric : yeah , that 's exactly what i want to do , but you 're not going to like it . claudia : well , that goes without saying . tell me anyway . ric : not so fast . i 'm risking a lot by telling you the truth . i need to know that you can be trusted .

[ scene_break ] patrick : hey . sonny : i followed my impulse . i probably should have called first . i just wanted to see robin and the baby . if you 're busy -- patrick : no , come on in . sonny : you sure ? patrick : yeah . robin 's at the hospital for a completely unnecessary checkup , but she should n't be long . you 're more than welcome to wait . sonny : thanks . how are the new parents coping ? patrick : some days are better than others , but robin worries too much . sonny : what did you expect ? patrick : good point . sonny : can i sit down ? patrick : absolutely . sonny : i need to talk to you about something . i went to the institute to see michael . it was his birthday . and there 's no change in his condition . i mean , they 're treating him well and everything , but it 's hard for me to wrap my head around that 's the way he 's going to be . that , you know , his life 's going to end that way . i know you 're a brilliant surgeon , and i know you know all the advanced medical things that are going on . is there anything you can do ? experimental , expenses do n't matter , money 's not an object . i want my son back . patrick : i do n't ever want to tell anyone to give up hope , sonny . but the moment i saw where that bullet was lodged into michael 's brain , i knew that the damage was permanent . sonny : i know you 've always said that , but do n't you think you 're being rigid about michael 's condition , because maybe you want to be right ? patrick : yeah , there was a time that could have been possible , but not anymore . and as far as michael 's condition , i think you should consult another specialist and get a second opinion . sonny : we already did . they agree with you . patrick : i really am sorry , sonny . sonny : i do n't know , you know ? maybe i 'm just grasping at straws . patrick : well , of course . but as a professional , the best advice i can give you is to accept michael 's condition as permanent . sonny : could you do that ? just shrug it off , accept it , if it were emma lying still on that bed ? [ scene_break ] carly : i know that you love me . and i know that you miss us . and you want to throw caution to the wind and give us another chance , but you 're just afraid . jax . jax : the harder you fight , the more painful this divorce is going to be for both of us . carly : so , you 're going to do what you always do ? you 're going to cut your losses . i mean , after all , i 'm wife , what , number five ? jax : no , come on . this divorce is n't easy for me . it kills me that we could n't make our marriage work . i never wanted anything more . but now i 'm hoping that we 've come to place where we can be in each other 's lives but not as husband and wife . carly : so , when is the divorce settlement ? jax : it 's friday , the ninth . carly : okay , i 'll mark it on my calendar . jax : okay . carly : okay . jax , when i was riding the train coming back from visiting michael , i was thinking that i want to do something really nice in his honor . so , i 'm going to speak to the hospital about some kind of an endowment probably for pediatric head traumas . jax : yeah , that sounds like a nice idea . carly : okay . jax : i hope you 'll let me contribute . carly : absolutely . and i 'm going to ask sonny , too . i hope that 's not a problem for you . jax : no , it 's not a problem . carly : okay . jax : i loved being michael and morgan 's stepfather . i 'm really sorry that things did n't work out with us , carly . i really am . [ scene_break ] nikolas : that 's why you were able to be so empathetic when i was grieving for emily . you had experienced your own loss . nadine : yes . watching you is like seeing into my own heart . i still miss bruce so much . it 's like this ache . nikolas : yeah . i 've come to believe that never completely goes away . nadine : yeah , you take comfort in whatever you can . i tell myself at least bruce died doing something he believed in . but it does n't lessen the grief or the fury when i think of these greedy arms manufacturers that may be profiting off of all of this . i mean , for all i know , it was aunt raylene 's invention that may have been the weapon that killed bruce . nikolas : it 's okay . [ scene_break ] claudia : listen to me . you 're the only friend i have in this town . i 'm not going to betray you . it 's a very lonely world out there . ric : john 's at the pcpd . he got picked up for assault . claudia : why ? did he have a fight with that stupid girl again ? she makes him crazy , ric . you know what ? she claims that she loves john . but if she loved him , i do n't think she 'd push that self - destruct button . ric : claudia , it was a setup . your father paid some lowlife to get beat up and blame johnny for it for a large sum of money . claudia : i am not going to let him get away with this . ric : no , what are you doing ? claudia : what do you think i 'm doing ? i 'm going to bail my brother out . and i 'm going to make my father drop the charges . ric : no , you ca n't do that , okay ? i told you about john , because you said i could trust you . now , if you go off loaded for bear with real information , anthony 's going to know that it came from me . and then it 's going to come down on me like a ton of bricks . claudia : you want me to what , let my brother rot ? ric : no . i want you to let this proceed without interference to protect me .

[ scene_break ] robin : i ca n't really help it . emma was crying the entire flight . patrick : so , she was a little cranky . robin : a little cranky ? she was screaming her head off . patrick : it was the pressure in the cabin that hurt her ears . look at her . she 's fine now . robin : she 's fine ? she 's only asleep because she got so exhausted from crying . maybe she got bit by some tropical mosquito and now she has west nile virus or something . patrick : okay , now you 're just being ridiculous , robin . robin : you know , i really resent that , okay ? we have this poor defenseless creature , this baby who ca n't tell us what 's wrong or where it hurts , and it 's my job as her mother to try and figure that out . so , to be called ridiculous for that , well , it kind of makes me want to lose my mind . patrick : evidently . look , okay , i 'm sorry . i did n't mean to hurt your feelings . if it makes you feel better , why do n't you take her to the hospital , have dr. o'donnell check her out . but i got to be honest . i think it 's a wasted trip . robin : well , then , you know what ? you do n't have to go . i 'll take her myself . stay here . [ scene_break ] maxie : you expect spinelli to believe that you while away hours playing the saga of stone cold ? please , you know spinelli wrote that program . you 're just trying to impress him . winnifred : are you always so hostile ? maxie : only when snakes try to slither onto my friends . winnifred : of which you have many , i 'm sure . no scam , no scam , on the real . i do while away hours playing saga . how could one not ? it 's the most challenging , most addictive game ever . spinelli : thank you . winnifred : saga changed the entire landscape of cyber - games . it immediately made goth 's god revenge and magic and myths irrelevant and obsolete . spinelli : the jackal is blown away that you would rank my modest first attempt at online gaming on a par with goth gods , i mean -- winnifred : please , please , you 'd have to get to level 10 of goth before you can even come close to the rush that you get on level one of saga . i mean , you have made all those other cyber gaming geeks eat your dust and beg for mercy . maxie : spinelli , i 'm bored and i have things to do , lots of things , lots of computer things that i need your help for . so , you could stay here and be fawned over by your freaky fan or you can come with me back to my place .

[ scene_break ] claudia : i ca n't wait to hear what it is you think you know about me . sonny : power is as important to you as it is to me . probably more important to you because , you know , this is your real shot at getting any . you 've had a vision in your head ever since we got married that you and i were going to , you know , run your family 's organization as a team and you think that if you have sex with me then you can manipulate me . claudia : i 'll give you one thing . i do love power . as a matter of fact , i 'd just assume slip it on with my clothes in the morning , wield it as a weapon against anybody who 's ever hurt me or disrespected me . but here 's where your little analysis hits a snag . i do n't delude myself into thinking i can manipulate you with sex . i tried that once and i failed miserably . but sleeping together implies a certain trust . maybe it 's only physical , but that 's a place to start , and you have to admit , we 're awesome in bed . it 's hard to see a downside to that . sonny : you do n't understand what i 'm saying . you know what ? you just do n't have the information . claudia : meaning ? sonny : well , it 's just that you 've never been in love . you 've never been part of a family . so , you have no way of knowing how shallow this arrangement you 're proposing really is . [ scene_break ] nadine : thanks . nikolas : you 're welcome . nadine : bruce was the greatest guy i 'd ever known . he was handsome and smart and so much fun . he was the first person besides aunt raylene who ever really got me . nikolas : how did you meet him ? nadine : four - h. i was six . he was eight . by the time i caught up to him in high school , we were already madly in love from that all consuming way only kids can be . i mean , everyone assumed that we were going to end up married and we probably would have if he -- nikolas : if what ? whatever it is , if it 's too painful to talk about , you do n't have to . nadine : no , it 's okay . bruce really wanted to go to college , but his parents could n't afford it and as wonderful as he was , he was n't exactly scholarship material . so , he joined the army . i was really proud of him . he was so eager to serve his country , and i was also really scared for him , too , of course . and the next time i saw him after he left was at salter 's funeral home in his coffin . nikolas : i 'm sorry . nadine : if refusing to license aunt raylene 's patent to a company that 's going to use it as a weapon , it saves just one person or one family from losing someone that they love , then i am obligated to do it . [ scene_break ] jerry 's voice : hello again , claudia . i mean , at least i hope it 's you listening to this , and if it 's sonny , i 'm afraid that our duel of wits has come to an abrupt and , no doubt , unpleasant end . but i digress . i mean , you are the one i wanted to play against and i trusted you were resourceful enough to stay in the game . so , if you are , congratulations for making it so far . now pay attention to the second clue . you will sleep sounder when you 've found it . that 's it . that 's the second clue , darling . ric : claudia . claudia : hey , i did n't expect you to come back so soon . did you change your mind ? have you decided to tell me what daddy 's real plan is ? ric : yeah , that 's exactly what i want to do , but you 're not going to like it . claudia : well , that goes without saying . tell me anyway . ric : not so fast . i 'm risking a lot by telling you the truth . i need to know that you can be trusted . [ scene_break ] jax : have you spoken to diane ? carly : she 's called and left a few messages , but i 've been avoiding calling her back . jax : well , she and alexis set a date to go over community property and division of assets , etc . carly : i bet alexis ca n't wait to tear me apart . jax : so , the question would be do we let our lawyers do their worst or do we agree to treat each other with consideration ? carly : that 's a trick question . kind of like , when do you stop beating your wife ? you asked me do i want a nice or mean divorce . here is the answer , jax . i do n't want a divorce at all . jax : come on , carly . the divorce is happening . you know that . carly : even after the night we spent on new year 's , after the support you gave me about michael 's birthday ? do you honestly believe there 's no chance we can start over ? jax : yes , i do . carly : no possibility . jax : yeah . carly : that we can have the wonderful life that we promised each other ? you believe that ? jax : carly , i do believe that for all the reasons we previously discussed , okay ? carly : see , i really do n't think you mean it . i do n't . i think you 've said it so many times that you 're now backed into a corner , because i could deal with it . i 'd hate it , but i could deal with it if i thought you were being honest with me and yourself . [ scene_break ] patrick : hey . sonny : i followed my impulse . i probably should have called first . i just wanted to see robin and the baby . if you 're busy -- patrick : no , come on in . sonny : you sure ? patrick : yeah . robin 's at the hospital for a completely unnecessary checkup , but she should n't be long . you 're more than welcome to wait . sonny : thanks . how are the new parents coping ? patrick : some days are better than others , but robin worries too much . sonny : what did you expect ? patrick : good point . sonny : can i sit down ? patrick : absolutely . sonny : i need to talk to you about something . i went to the institute to see michael . it was his birthday . and there 's no change in his condition . i mean , they 're treating him well and everything , but it 's hard for me to wrap my head around that 's the way he 's going to be . that , you know , his life 's going to end that way . i know you 're a brilliant surgeon , and i know you know all the advanced medical things that are going on . is there anything you can do ? experimental , expenses do n't matter , money 's not an object . i want my son back . patrick : i do n't ever want to tell anyone to give up hope , sonny . but the moment i saw where that bullet was lodged into michael 's brain , i knew that the damage was permanent . sonny : i know you 've always said that , but do n't you think you 're being rigid about michael 's condition , because maybe you want to be right ? patrick : yeah , there was a time that could have been possible , but not anymore . and as far as michael 's condition , i think you should consult another specialist and get a second opinion . sonny : we already did . they agree with you . patrick : i really am sorry , sonny . sonny : i do n't know , you know ? maybe i 'm just grasping at straws . patrick : well , of course . but as a professional , the best advice i can give you is to accept michael 's condition as permanent . sonny : could you do that ? just shrug it off , accept it , if it were emma lying still on that bed ? [ scene_break ] carly : i know that you love me . and i know that you miss us . and you want to throw caution to the wind and give us another chance , but you 're just afraid . jax . jax : the harder you fight , the more painful this divorce is going to be for both of us . carly : so , you 're going to do what you always do ? you 're going to cut your losses . i mean , after all , i 'm wife , what , number five ? jax : no , come on . this divorce is n't easy for me . it kills me that we could n't make our marriage work . i never wanted anything more . but now i 'm hoping that we 've come to place where we can be in each other 's lives but not as husband and wife . carly : so , when is the divorce settlement ? jax : it 's friday , the ninth . carly : okay , i 'll mark it on my calendar . jax : okay . carly : okay . jax , when i was riding the train coming back from visiting michael , i was thinking that i want to do something really nice in his honor . so , i 'm going to speak to the hospital about some kind of an endowment probably for pediatric head traumas . jax : yeah , that sounds like a nice idea . carly : okay . jax : i hope you 'll let me contribute . carly : absolutely . and i 'm going to ask sonny , too . i hope that 's not a problem for you . jax : no , it 's not a problem . carly : okay . jax : i loved being michael and morgan 's stepfather . i 'm really sorry that things did n't work out with us , carly . i really am . [ scene_break ] nikolas : that 's why you were able to be so empathetic when i was grieving for emily . you had experienced your own loss . nadine : yes . watching you is like seeing into my own heart . i still miss bruce so much . it 's like this ache . nikolas : yeah . i 've come to believe that never completely goes away . nadine : yeah , you take comfort in whatever you can . i tell myself at least bruce died doing something he believed in . but it does n't lessen the grief or the fury when i think of these greedy arms manufacturers that may be profiting off of all of this . i mean , for all i know , it was aunt raylene 's invention that may have been the weapon that killed bruce . nikolas : it 's okay . [ scene_break ] claudia : listen to me . you 're the only friend i have in this town . i 'm not going to betray you . it 's a very lonely world out there . ric : john 's at the pcpd . he got picked up for assault . claudia : why ? did he have a fight with that stupid girl again ? she makes him crazy , ric . you know what ? she claims that she loves john . but if she loved him , i do n't think she 'd push that self - destruct button . ric : claudia , it was a setup . your father paid some lowlife to get beat up and blame johnny for it for a large sum of money . claudia : i am not going to let him get away with this . ric : no , what are you doing ? claudia : what do you think i 'm doing ? i 'm going to bail my brother out . and i 'm going to make my father drop the charges . ric : no , you ca n't do that , okay ? i told you about john , because you said i could trust you . now , if you go off loaded for bear with real information , anthony 's going to know that it came from me . and then it 's going to come down on me like a ton of bricks . claudia : you want me to what , let my brother rot ? ric : no . i want you to let this proceed without interference to protect me .

[ knocks on door ] sharon : nick ! what brings you by ? nick : i need to talk to rey . it 's about adam . billy : what the hell are you doing here at my daughter 's grave ? you 're the reason that she 's here . adam : i did n't mean to intrude . billy : no , but you are . adam : if i had known you were gon na be here , i would n't -- billy : i belong here , you do not . if there 's one place in the entire world that you should n't step foot in , this is it . and every day it still gets better she 's got style , she 's got class she 's just on another level he 's so fly , makes me laugh yeah , he 's just some kind of special [ cheers and applause ] jack : that was sensational . elena : sure was . jack : neil would have been blown away . devon : yeah , man . i really am missing him tonight . [ knocks on door ] victor : come in ! victoria : i got your message . victor : well , thank you for being so prompt ! victoria : is everything okay ? why did you want to meet so late ? victor : well , i got some , uh , news regarding my treatment . victoria : good news , i hope . victor : yeah , apparently , the condition has stabilized , you know , which is positive . victoria : [ sighs ] victor : but , uh ... that is n't enough for me . victoria : what does that mean ? victor : i have come to the conclusion that your mother is right . she thinks in order to optimize the treatment i should take some time off . victoria : okay . victor : which means that i will be stepping away from newman , temporarily . and i want you to become c.e.o . while i 'm gone . additional sponsorship nick : i need you to do some digging for me so i can win my custody case . rey : okay , what did you have in mind ? nick : i want to know what adam was up to those three years in vegas where we all thought he was dead and gone . rey : well , i assumed you had everything you needed . i mean , dear lord , this guy is malicious . he took your child , he gave it to victor and ashley , led sharon to believe that her baby had died . he ran over delia and covered it up . he changed the paternity test on christian so he could walk away , nick . nick : it 's an endless list , rey , one atrocity after another , but i can not rely on the distant past to convince a judge he 's an unfit father . sharon : nick and i both have a lot of experience with custody battles . they do n't always turn out the way that you expect , and adam will try to make the case that he 's turned his life around and changed . nick : we all know he is a sociopath who should n't be around children . but all it takes is one judge who really believes in redemption . sharon : everyone will claim that they want what 's in the best interest of the child . not everyone will agree on what that is . nick : the bottom line is , every time you go to court , it is a crapshoot and , where my son is concerned , i can not take that chance . rey : all right , so what i hear you saying is that you need some recent evidence that proves that adam is still of dubious character . nick : i think if you go to vegas and turn over enough stones , you will find some shady behavior . i mean , i 've made some inquiries myself ... rey : you know what , nick , why do n't we have this conversation somewhere else ? i think sharon 's trying to steer clear of all things adam . i 'd like to respect her wishes . sharon : uh , no , i 'll go . you two stay . i need to check in at the coffeehouse anyway . adam : if i had known you were here , i would n't have come . but , to me , this visit is long overdue . billy : you thought you were gon na find me in a moment of weakness and push my buttons ? adam : no , i 'm not trying to mess with you , billy . all right ? i swear . it 's just -- delia has been on my mind , since i ca n't be with my own kids . i know that does n't compare to your loss because my kids are healthy and thriving . but they are not a part of my life right now , and it 's killing me . so i just came to tell delia one last time how sorry i am that she is not with her family . billy : she 's with her mother , at least . adam : [ sighs ] you know , when my memories came rushing back , it was n't just because i got shot . it started before that , when you and victoria told me what i 'd done to delia . the , uh , guilt that my mind was trying to cover was so close to the surface . now , it terrified me . i know that you can relate . billy : no , see , do n't do that . do n't pretend that we have anything in common because we are not alike , and we never will be . adam : there was a time when you thought you could forgive me . billy : if you 're talking about what i said at your trial , see , there 's a subtly that you 're missing . because forgiveness is n't something that happens once and it stays done . every time i am reminded that i 'm never gon na see my daughter again , the pain that i feel , that does n't go away . it 's not done . every christmas , every holiday . every milestone deedee does n't get to experience is like a fresh gaping hole , and then i see you in your old malignant ways , not even trying to pretend to be a better man , and it just compounds the tragedy . adam : well , that is not how i look at things , but i understand if you need to see them that way . billy : oh , you 're gon na allow me my feelings ? after what you took from me . get the hell out of here . i swear to god , you got three seconds , or i am going to completely lose it on you . victoria : i do n't know what to say . i was n't expecting this . i mean , you 've been very resistant to the idea about stepping back . victor : i know i have . victoria : which makes me worry that maybe this is only happening because your illness is worse than you 're letting on . victor : sweetheart , i assure that i am not hiding anything , okay ? it is just that ... i have to acknowledge the reality of the situation , that 's all . and , uh , even if i wanted to ignore it , your mother would n't let me . victoria : well , i promise you , you will not regret giving me this chance . i am gon na make you so proud . victor : should have been you all along . victoria : yes , it should have been me , and i appreciate you acknowledging that . i think i have more than proven myself . of course , i understand you trying to establish the kind of father - son relationship that you feel you 've missed out on . victor : that idea has passed . victoria : dad , adam did you a favor by walking away . he is sharp , and he 's very clever , but he has no character , and his values are pitiful . the team here never would have trusted him . this is for the best . i know you do n't see that now , but you will . victor : you know , the fact that you can run this company with integrity is going to make you even more successful than you were before . victoria : thank you . that is my goal . victor : so you go . victoria : [ laughs ] victor : you go and enjoy yourself , okay ? victoria : no , i 've got to get to work . victor : i know my company is in good hands now . jack : mallory , this is my sister traci and our friend cane . cane : it 's nice to meet you , mallory . mallory : likewise . traci : have we met ?

i was hoping to see her . cane : uh , unfortunately , she has to work . jack : oh , what a shame . cane : yeah . yeah , she 's , uh -- she 's disappointed . devon : jack . jack : oh ! that 's my cue . showtime . excuse me , please . devon : i would like to bring to the stage mr . jack abbott to fill you all in on some exciting news with the abbott - winters foundation . jack , take it away . [ applause ] jack : i am delighted to see the turnout tonight , as we gather to dedicate this stage to a beloved friend , colleague , community member , uncle , and father . anyone who knew neil would tell you that music was his first love . when the foundation board debated over how best to use the very generous donations that were sent in , in neil 's honor , we quickly agreed music would have to be part of it . neil would want us to pay it forward to the musicians , to the songwriters who gave him so much joy and comfort and consolation during his lifetime . many of you already know that alcohol and drug use are , uh , deeply embedded in the performing arts culture and lifestyle . what you may not know is that artists have special challenges in dealing with the disease of addiction . many of them are afraid that if they fully embrace sobriety , their creativity suffers , that they would be overwhelmed by anxiety , by exhaustion , by depression -- the very depression that they are trying to self - medicate . they worry that they will be cut off from their connection to the business , that their careers will suffer . good people , talented people are being kept from what they need most . we 've lost too much talent far too young . so i am very proud tonight to announce that the abbott - winters foundation is developing an intensive treatment program geared specifically to the needs of music industry professionals with substance abuse problems . our goal is to develop a model that can be used across the country . as our friend neil would say , `` it 's good to touch a life . it 's better to save one . `` thank you all for being here . [ applause ] nick : when mom hired you to go to vegas to check on what my dad was up to , did you happen to run across any of spider 's gambling associates ? rey : yeah . a woman named riza . i met her once . nick : yeah , my mom mentioned her . who was she to adam ? rey : well , essentially , she was his agent . she 'd set up the underground poker games and take a cut of the action . nick : and she just offered up this information ? rey : mm , i pieced it together . she was n't very talkative . nick : all right , well , maybe things are different now . you know , her meal ticket 's bailed . if she 's not happy , she might be a little more forthcoming . rey : it 's worth a try . traci : i am so proud of what you 're doing . jack : you like our latest brainstorm ? traci : jack , it 's perfect . it 's exactly what neil stood for . offering people understanding and hope , it 's just a beautiful , beautiful living tribute to his legacy . jack : well , i am hopeful , with the board 's help , that we will get this thing up and running by the fall . traci : that would be fabulous . jack : now , where is mallory ? traci : um , she 's just gone to powder her nose . jack : oh . traci : and , jack ... i 'm very glad to see you socializing , you know , making some new friends ... jack : oh , boy , it 's official . i need to get out . it seems to be the consensus everywhere i go . traci : [ laughs ] well , i guess i ca n't really comment in that area because i 've been spending most of my time locked in the house working on my book . jack : well , you 're here now , right ? traci : yeah , but it was cane 's idea . he -- he wanted to be here for the dedication , but he 's still feeling a little awkward with lily 's family . jack : he 's lucky to have you as a friend . traci : well , it 's -- it 's not like that . um , what i mean is that of course he 's a friend . i just did n't want it to sound , you know , like a pity case . jack : why not ? i pity him . losing lily , not having her in his life anymore ... i 'm sure he 's got bruises from kicking himself . sharon : hi . adam : hey . sharon : how 's your night going ? adam : um ... terrible . thanks for asking . victoria : well , it 's only 10 : 00 a.m . there , so you should be able to get ahold of everyone that you need to make that change . terrific . you , too . bye - bye . billy : i got your text , but it looks like you 've got your hands full . victoria : well , that 's what happens when you become the c.e.o . of a mega- conglomerate . billy : i , uh -- i know i told you that i was gon na bring pizza home for the kids -- wait , hold on a second . what did you just say ? did you say c.e.o . ? victoria : it just happened . billy : what ? victoria : dad 's taking a leave of absence . billy : oh , my gosh ! congratulations . victoria : thank you . billy : finally saw the light , did n't he ? victoria : yeah , well , i wish it were under happier circumstances . billy : is it because of his illness ? victoria : mom 's persuaded him to sort of , you know , put his health first . it 's supposed to be top - secret so , please , do n't let on that you know . billy : i am just delighted that you finally get what you 've been working so hard for . victoria : well , it 's just an invitation to work that much harder . billy : hey ! life at the top . victoria : yeah . but i want to make some big moves right away , to show the world that i 'm not just a placeholder for victor newman , or for anyone else , for that matter . billy : what , you think your father 's gon na change his mind and replace you with you - know - who ? victoria : if i do an amazing job , i do n't think the thought will even occur to him . billy : well , i think you 're gon na have to do more than that . speaking of the snake , i just saw him at the cemetery . victoria : adam was at the cemetery ? billy : at delia 's grave , yeah . victoria : why ? billy : [ sighs ] he said he was there to pay his respects . victoria : oh . yeah . uh - huh . why was he really there ? billy : i do n't know , i did n't allow him to stick around long enough to waste my time and figure out . victoria : good . good choice . billy : my point is ... if that lowlife would use delia 's death to try and get a reaction out of me , there is no bottom . victoria : well , that 's something that we all know already . billy : so if you want to hold on to this position , the one that you deserve , job number one is keeping an eye on adam . look what he did to nick and dark horse . victoria : using the money that i gave him . however , i think i have a way to neutralize the threat . billy : then what are you waiting for ? victoria : nothing . sharon : you did n't say whether this was for here or to go . adam : so you made the choice for me . [ sighs ] i 'm sorry . sharon : for what ? adam : i told you i would stay out of your life , and every time you turn around , there i am . i should find a new place to get coffee . sharon : i -- i did n't mean to ban you from crimson lights , it 's fine . i just really thought we should set some boundaries . adam : well , you 'll be seeing a lot less of me because i 'm moving back into my old penthouse . sharon : what ? adam : mm . sharon : i never expected you to move because of what i said . adam : i 'm not . dad evicted me . i guess if i want to talk to anybody in this town , i 'll have to get a dog . sharon : is that why you said your night was terrible , because you fought with victor ? adam : i stopped by delia 's grave . i -- i do n't know why , i just felt the need . billy was there , and he was already upset , of course , because , you know , he was thinking about his beloved child that died , and ... who shows up but the heartless bastard who killed her ? -my timing was impeccable , as always . sharon : well , i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry for both of your sakes . that sounds intense . adam : no , intense , i could have handled . once billy got rolling , things got ugly , and it just -- what am i doing ? i promise to keep you out of all my drama . sharon : i was really just talking about custody battles and corporate espionage , not something like this . i mean , if it helps you to talk -- adam : no , sharon , all right ? i ca n't keep leaning on you indefinitely . it is not fair to either one of us . sharon : adam -- adam : look , you need a clean break , and , if i 'm being honest , it 's probably the best thing for me , too . [ sighs ] even though i am going to hate it . good night . cane : so , i , uh -- i knew this bloke in australia , and , uh , he was a singer- songwriter , a really talented guy . anyway , he had this horrible stage fright , and every time he would go up onstage , he 'd freeze . so he started drinking some beers . next thing you know , he 's chasing the beers with whiskey , with pills on top of it , and , see , he kind of got to the point where ... well , he was so out of it , he 'd go up onstage and freeze anyway . traci : that 's awful . that 's the worst kind of irony , it 's so sad . cane : right , right , but i 'm thinking -- you know , that program that jack was talking about , it would be a godsend for this guy , and i 'm pretty certain that devon 's gon na get involved , and ... i do n't know , maybe i could pitch him , too , you know ? traci : oh ! i 'm sure they would want that . i mean , you have so much to offer . i 'm sure some of these folks have had brushes with the law , and ... cane : right . yeah . right . traci : you could talk them through the process of rebuilding their lives , just like you do with your clients at work . cane : right . traci : that would be wonderful . cane : [ sighs ] yeah . looks like lily made it after all . well , at least devon 's gon na be delighted . `` the young and the restless `` will continue . devon : oh ! hey , i thought you had to work . lily : yeah , i did , but i did n't want to miss this , so i got someone to cover for me devon : oh , well , i appreciate the effort . you remember elena , right ? lily : of course . good to see you . elena : good to see you . devon : and , uh , just so you know , cane is here . lily : yeah , i know . it 's fine . it 's fine . he loved dad , too , so ... will you show me the plaque that you had made for dad ? devon : yeah , for sure . it 's right over here . jack : look who 's here ! lily : hey ! jack ! jack : what a nice surprise ! lily : oh , thanks ! jack : mallory , this is lily , neil 's daughter . lily : hi , nice to meet you . jack : she 's come all the way from lakewood tonight . lily : yeah ! mallory : i 'm so sorry for your loss . lily : oh , thank you . jack : devon , i have a foundation donor at the end of the bar that wants to talk to you personally . devon : sure thing , sure thing . would you mind showing lily the plaque ? elena : yeah , of course . devon : okay . i 'll be right back . see ya . jack : thanks , man . traci : do you want to go say hello to lily ? cane : no , there 's -- there 's no rush . she just got here . let 's finish our drinks . traci : okay . that 's fine with me . devon : hey . you and jett sounded really great tonight . ana : glad you approve . and do n't worry if i get in late tonight . i agreed to help with clean - up . devon : you do n't have to . we have staff for that stuff . ana : i need the extra time to cool off . for you to bring in someone to train me like i 'm some newbie , i thought you had more confidence in my ability , but apparently i was wrong . devon : ana , i do n't want to talk about this right now . okay ? i 'm trying to focus on my dad . did you forget what tonight is supposed to be about ? [ door slams ] victor : what the hell are you doing here ? billy : i believe in giving credit where it 's due . i chewed you out for treating adam like an undeserved favorite . then you went and promoted victoria , which was the right thing to do . for your family and your business . victor : what makes you think i give a damn about whether i have your approval or not ? lily : charlie and mattie are going to love dad 's plaque . i know he would have loved it , too . that quote was one of his favorite . elena : yeah . yeah , it was really important for devon to get it right . all the little details . he and abby spent a lot of time coordinating everything . lily : i 'm really worried about him . i feel like he 's taking on too much . right ? i mean , he 's arranging this tribute and organizing jett 's tour , overseeing the restaurant . he 's running hamilton - winters without my dad ... and lost his assistant when he made ana his partner at lp . elena : and ana has n't really been around . she went with jett on his first few gigs to help him get used to being on tour again . lily : oh . so that means that you and devon are staying at the penthouse ? elena : [ chuckles ] lily : [ giggles ] lily : i 'm not trying to pry , i 'm really not , but , uh ... i am happy that devon has found someone special again . elena : thank you for saying so . ana : lily ! lily : hey ! ana : we 're all so pleased you could make it . lily : aww , thank you . i 'm glad to be here . jett : come on , it 's only right . lily : oh ! congratulations on your comeback tour . i 'm glad you and ana could come back in time to perform . ana : yeah . jett : well , it 's the least we could do , especially with how generous devon 's been with us . lily : yeah . oh , where is nate ? did he work tonight ? ana : no , he was here earlier . elena : there was a little tension with nate and devon . um , nate sold the apartment neil left for him , and devon was not very happy about it . nick : it 's a little late , do n't you think ? victoria : i realize that you 're upset with me , but , please , just hear me out . nick : [ sighs ] victoria : dad surprised me tonight . he promoted me to c.e.o . mom persuaded him to take a time - out while he 's in treatment . nick : [ scoffs ] well , congratulations . your teaming up with adam really paid off , and now you have everything you want . victoria : no , not everything . i need someone to take over for me at c.o.o . , and i think you 'd be perfect for the job . jack : take care . mallory : night ! traci : i 'm gon na go say hello to lily . lily : traci ! traci : hi . lily : it 's good to see you . traci : oh , thank you . you too , honey . how are you holding up ? lily : um , i 'm doing okay . yeah . this was a great event . hi . cane : hey . lily : i know you were n't expecting to see me . cane : well , you do n't hear me complaining , do you ? lily : yeah , i was really , uh , sad that i missed the dedication . cane : yeah , um , jack and devon spoke . it was uplifting . and then jack unveiled his new treatment program for musicians and artists . devon : my man . jett : oh ! devon : thank you so much for that incredible performance tonight . jett : happy to . happy to , man . and thank you for letting me be a part of tonight . devon : oh , absolutely . you were a very , very important part of tonight , so thank you . jett : i appreciate it , man . um ... well , um , you know what ? devon : huh ? jett : i need to find my daughter so i can my goodbye . devon : ana ? jett : where is she ? devon : yeah , yeah , i think she 's at the bar . she 's right there . jett : all right , excuse me . excuse me . devon : got it . elena : so i 'm gon na take jett to the airport . devon : yeah ? elena : yeah . devon : i 'd like to go with you , see him off . elena : aww . devon : but i have to stay and talk to and thank a bunch of people for donations . elena : okay . see you at home later ? devon : please . cane : yeah , they 're looking to , uh , roll out the program in the next few months . lily : oh , that 's exciting . cane : yeah , it is . lily : well , anyway , thank you for giving me my space tonight . cane : yeah , i know you came , you know , for your dad and devon . but it 's , uh -- it 's great to see you . you , um ... you look well . lily : thank you . you do , too . cane : thanks . lily : you seem a lot less tense than last time . cane : yeah . yeah , i suppose i am . um , well , i do n't know where traci went . i , uh -- she may want to get home , you know . lily : oh , are you her ride ? cane : yeah . i , uh -- yeah , well , we , uh -- we drove together . yeah . velma : [ sighs ] snap out of it , velma . you 're the last person in the world that he would ever -- [ sighs ] if anybody knew the thoughts that were bouncin ' around in your mind ... billy : i think it 's time for some straight talk . victor : really ? billy : yeah , um , you 've been dealing with some disappointments lately . i 'm sure you felt that adam was gon na be your heir apparent , and i guarantee that you were hoping victoria would kick me to the curb . victor : you 're right about that . billy : but neither one of those two things happened . so i think that 's good for you because your daughter is going to excel at the helm of this company , and i am going to be part of that success . victor : oh , yeah ? how do you figure that ? billy : because i 'm gon na support her . i 'm gon na give her everything she needs because i believe in her . an i think victoria 's the right person to lead this company into the future . and i am very excited to watch it happen . victor : well , i hope you mean that , you do n't self - destruct halfway through and then dump her , as you have done in the past . billy : that 's funny . i was gon na say the same thing about you . victor : [ chuckles ] billy boy . you know the way you came in . nick : [ sighs ] you 've got a lot of nerve , vick , thinking i would work with you after what you 've done . victoria : i know you 're not my biggest fan right now . nick : you think ? victoria : with good reason . but i also know that you 're smart enough to recognize what i 'm offering . working with me , you could have all of newman enterprises ' resources behind you . nick : power does n't motivate me the same way it does you and dad . victoria : even if you could wield it against adam ? phyllis : hi there . long time , no see . velma : [ sighs ] okay , velma , old girl . it 's time to get back in there . cane : traci ? traci : oh , cane . hi . hi . cane : hey . hey . is , uh -- is everything okay ? what are you doing out here ? traci : yes . everything 's fine . i -- i just was getting a little bit of air , you know . [ sighs ] i had an idea for the story , for the book , and i -- i just needed a private moment to sort of think it through , you know ? sometimes that happens , the story grabs you and it just wo n't let go . cane : why do n't i take you home and you can work in peace ? traci : no , that 's okay . i can find my own way home . i 'm sure that you 're really anxious to catch up with lily . cane : yeah , i , uh ... i already did . come here . madame ? rey : hey ! you 're back . sharon : hey . how 'd it go with nick ? rey : we had a productive discussion . sharon : well , i 'm glad i went to the coffeehouse . it turns out , brenda was a little under the weather , so i just sent her home for the day and filled in . rey : yeah ? place pretty busy ? sharon : put it this way , i 'm glad to be home with the man i love . [ door opens ] devon : hey . you 're home earlier than i thought . elena : devon . what 's wrong ? are you having a hard time breathing ? i 'm gon na loosen your tie . sit down . devon : [ panting ] elena : is it chest pain ? pressure ? are you light - headed ? nauseous ? devon : [ panting ] it 's not my heart , it 's just -- i need my pills . elena : okay , where are your pillows ? devon : in the bar . elena : okay . devon : [ panting ] elena : it 's okay , it 's okay . it 's okay . just breathe . breathe , breathe , breathe . devon : [ panting ] elena : here . okay . breathe with me . in ... 2 , 3 , 4 . out ... 2 ... victoria : thank you for the hospitality . nick : you were saying ? victoria : if you accept the job as my c.o.o . , your first assignment is to bring adam down . i hate that he used my money to buy dark horse out from under you , and i want to help you get it back . nick : well , that has some appeal to me , but dark horse is a secondary concern now . victoria : i know it wo n't mean anything if the judge forces your little boy to go and live with adam . [ sighs ] we can make sure that does n't happen . nick : how ? victoria : you know adam 's fateful flaw . nick : being a hateful son of a bitch ? victoria : over - confidence . he always takes it a step too far , especially when he 's cornered . so we corner him . we push him to the brink . and when crosses the line , we catch him , we document it , and we prove to the court that he does not deserve to raise your son . so what do you say ? are you with me ? adam : where have you been hiding out ? had a lot of folks worried . phyllis : including you ? adam : well , i had hoped you were at some luxurious locale spending a big chunk of that money i gave you . phyllis : well , i was . after i escaped from the hellhole you had me stashed in . adam : what are you saying ? you 've been held somewhere against your will ? phyllis : [ sighs ] do n't insult my intelligence by pretending you had nothing to do with it . adam : why would i want to kidnap you , phyllis ? after we were working so well together . phyllis : well , i do n't know , maybe because i know too much . guess what ? i know more . after i left that roach motel , i went to vegas . you know what they say about vegas . whatever happens there , stays there . but not in this case . adam : mm - hmm . phyllis : do n't you come near me because i will scream . this is n't the ranch . you have neighbors . adam : i have no intention of hurting you , phyllis . and , anyway , it 's pretty clear that you 're bluffing . phyllis : why is that , because i could never know about your connections to people in vegas ? especially not to a certain member of the chancellor family ? next week on `` the young and the restless `` ... victor : the treatment i 've been getting is no longer working . apparently , there 's a new drug that they experimented with ... nick : well , it sounds like this is your best bet to beat the disease . victor : the side effects . cane : i 'm proud that i could have played a small part in helping you find your story . it 's incredible . you 're incredible . adam : you can stop playing nice . we both know you would kill me right now if you could .
billy tells adam to leave delia 's grave because it is the one place in the world he should never be is anywhere near delia 's grave . nick asks rey to go to las vegas and dig up as much dirt on adam as he can so he can use it against him in the custody battle . lily arrives late to the music stage dedication but cane ca n't take his eyes off her . cane and traci say hello to lily and then traci leaves cane and lily alone to talk . cane realizes that things are awkward between him and lily and they ca n't even make polite conversation . cane tells lily that he must find traci and take her home because they drove to the party together . jack announces that in memory of neil the abbott winters foundation is developing a treament program to help those who are in the music industry . victir wants to take a leave of absence to focus on treating his illness so he names victoria ceo . victoria asks nick to be coo of the company and tells him that his focus would be keeping an eye on adam and waiting untill he makes a mistake so they could use it against him in the custody suit . devon has a panic attack when elena arrives home but instead of seeing elena he sees hilary walk through the door . adam is surprised to see phyllis when he walks through the door of his penthouse . phyllis tells him that she went to vegas and knows all his secrets . adam thinks phyllis is bluffing until she tells him she knows all about his connection to a member of the chancellor family .
<s>[INST] [ previously_on ] cane : tonight , there 's a -- a dedication ceremony for neil . would you be my date ? ana : you had a panic attack . devon : okay , okay . i did . i had an attack . what do you want from me ? ana : i just want you to know it 's okay to ask for help . victor : i have a rare blood disease . nikki : oh , my god . victoria : i deserve to be c.e.o . when dad steps down , and i 'll be damned if i 'm gon na let adam take that away from me ! adam : now it is time for christian to know his real dad . nick : i am never giving him up , ever . why the sudden interest in adam newman ? rey : what is this ? sharon : pinot noir from australia . rey : mm . sharon : you like it ? rey : yeah . i 'm usually more of a beer guy , but it 's not half - bad . nice way to relax . sharon : we have n't done much of that lately ever since i convinced adam to come home . rey : [ sighs ] sharon : it 's one of the many reasons that i wish i had n't done that . rey : babe , we all make mistakes . as long as we learn from them , they serve a purpose . sharon : so you know , i told adam how i feel . rey : that you 're sorry he 's back in genoa city . sharon : and that i had any part in it , given the terrible things that he 's done . i told him that i 'm through with him and that he needs to leave me alone . rey : and what did he say to that ? sharon : he agreed to stay away from me . rey : hallelujah . sharon : he was n't too happy about it . rey : well , i sure the hell am . thank you for taking such a strong stance with him . hopefully it 'll be a long time before either one of us hears the name `` adam `` again . [ knocks on door ] sharon : nick ! what brings you by ? nick : i need to talk to rey . it 's about adam . billy : what the hell are you doing here at my daughter 's grave ? you 're the reason that she 's here . adam : i did n't mean to intrude . billy : no , but you are . adam : if i had known you were gon na be here , i would n't -- billy : i belong here , you do not . if there 's one place in the entire world that you should n't step foot in , this is it . and every day it still gets better she 's got style , she 's got class she 's just on another level he 's so fly , makes me laugh yeah , he 's just some kind of special [ cheers and applause ] jack : that was sensational . elena : sure was . jack : neil would have been blown away . devon : yeah , man . i really am missing him tonight . [ knocks on door ] victor : come in ! victoria : i got your message . victor : well , thank you for being so prompt ! victoria : is everything okay ? why did you want to meet so late ? victor : well , i got some , uh , news regarding my treatment . victoria : good news , i hope . victor : yeah , apparently , the condition has stabilized , you know , which is positive . victoria : [ sighs ] victor : but , uh ... that is n't enough for me . victoria : what does that mean ? victor : i have come to the conclusion that your mother is right . she thinks in order to optimize the treatment i should take some time off . victoria : okay . victor : which means that i will be stepping away from newman , temporarily . and i want you to become c.e.o . while i 'm gone . additional sponsorship nick : i need you to do some digging for me so i can win my custody case . rey : okay , what did you have in mind ? nick : i want to know what adam was up to those three years in vegas where we all thought he was dead and gone . rey : well , i assumed you had everything you needed . i mean , dear lord , this guy is malicious . he took your child , he gave it to victor and ashley , led sharon to believe that her baby had died . he ran over delia and covered it up . he changed the paternity test on christian so he could walk away , nick . nick : it 's an endless list , rey , one atrocity after another , but i can not rely on the distant past to convince a judge he 's an unfit father . sharon : nick and i both have a lot of experience with custody battles . they do n't always turn out the way that you expect , and adam will try to make the case that he 's turned his life around and changed . nick : we all know he is a sociopath who should n't be around children . but all it takes is one judge who really believes in redemption . sharon : everyone will claim that they want what 's in the best interest of the child . not everyone will agree on what that is . nick : the bottom line is , every time you go to court , it is a crapshoot and , where my son is concerned , i can not take that chance . rey : all right , so what i hear you saying is that you need some recent evidence that proves that adam is still of dubious character . nick : i think if you go to vegas and turn over enough stones , you will find some shady behavior . i mean , i 've made some inquiries myself ... rey : you know what , nick , why do n't we have this conversation somewhere else ? i think sharon 's trying to steer clear of all things adam . i 'd like to respect her wishes . sharon : uh , no , i 'll go . you two stay . i need to check in at the coffeehouse anyway . adam : if i had known you were here , i would n't have come . but , to me , this visit is long overdue . billy : you thought you were gon na find me in a moment of weakness and push my buttons ? adam : no , i 'm not trying to mess with you , billy . all right ? i swear . it 's just -- delia has been on my mind , since i ca n't be with my own kids . i know that does n't compare to your loss because my kids are healthy and thriving . but they are not a part of my life right now , and it 's killing me . so i just came to tell delia one last time how sorry i am that she is not with her family . billy : she 's with her mother , at least . adam : [ sighs ] you know , when my memories came rushing back , it was n't just because i got shot . it started before that , when you and victoria told me what i 'd done to delia . the , uh , guilt that my mind was trying to cover was so close to the surface . now , it terrified me . i know that you can relate . billy : no , see , do n't do that . do n't pretend that we have anything in common because we are not alike , and we never will be . adam : there was a time when you thought you could forgive me . billy : if you 're talking about what i said at your trial , see , there 's a subtly that you 're missing . because forgiveness is n't something that happens once and it stays done . every time i am reminded that i 'm never gon na see my daughter again , the pain that i feel , that does n't go away . it 's not done . every christmas , every holiday . every milestone deedee does n't get to experience is like a fresh gaping hole , and then i see you in your old malignant ways , not even trying to pretend to be a better man , and it just compounds the tragedy . adam : well , that is not how i look at things , but i understand if you need to see them that way . billy : oh , you 're gon na allow me my feelings ? after what you took from me . get the hell out of here . i swear to god , you got three seconds , or i am going to completely lose it on you . victoria : i do n't know what to say . i was n't expecting this . i mean , you 've been very resistant to the idea about stepping back . victor : i know i have . victoria : which makes me worry that maybe this is only happening because your illness is worse than you 're letting on . victor : sweetheart , i assure that i am not hiding anything , okay ? it is just that ... i have to acknowledge the reality of the situation , that 's all . and , uh , even if i wanted to ignore it , your mother would n't let me . victoria : well , i promise you , you will not regret giving me this chance . i am gon na make you so proud . victor : should have been you all along . victoria : yes , it should have been me , and i appreciate you acknowledging that . i think i have more than proven myself . of course , i understand you trying to establish the kind of father - son relationship that you feel you 've missed out on . victor : that idea has passed . victoria : dad , adam did you a favor by walking away . he is sharp , and he 's very clever , but he has no character , and his values are pitiful . the team here never would have trusted him . this is for the best . i know you do n't see that now , but you will . victor : you know , the fact that you can run this company with integrity is going to make you even more successful than you were before . victoria : thank you . that is my goal . victor : so you go . victoria : [ laughs ] victor : you go and enjoy yourself , okay ? victoria : no , i 've got to get to work . victor : i know my company is in good hands now . jack : mallory , this is my sister traci and our friend cane . cane : it 's nice to meet you , mallory . mallory : likewise . traci : have we met ? you seem so familiar to me . mallory : my father is a resident at bright tomorrows . traci : that 's it ! oh , of course , our mother 's there , too . i -- that 's where i know you from . mallory : i 've noticed you there , as well . it 's nice to finally put a name with the face . traci : oh , thank you . jack : is lily gon na be here ? i was hoping to see her . cane : uh , unfortunately , she has to work . jack : oh , what a shame . cane : yeah . yeah , she 's , uh -- she 's disappointed . devon : jack . jack : oh ! that 's my cue . showtime . excuse me , please . devon : i would like to bring to the stage mr . jack abbott to fill you all in on some exciting news with the abbott - winters foundation . jack , take it away . [ applause ] jack : i am delighted to see the turnout tonight , as we gather to dedicate this stage to a beloved friend , colleague , community member , uncle , and father . anyone who knew neil would tell you that music was his first love . when the foundation board debated over how best to use the very generous donations that were sent in , in neil 's honor , we quickly agreed music would have to be part of it . neil would want us to pay it forward to the musicians , to the songwriters who gave him so much joy and comfort and consolation during his lifetime . many of you already know that alcohol and drug use are , uh , deeply embedded in the performing arts culture and lifestyle . what you may not know is that artists have special challenges in dealing with the disease of addiction . many of them are afraid that if they fully embrace sobriety , their creativity suffers , that they would be overwhelmed by anxiety , by exhaustion , by depression -- the very depression that they are trying to self - medicate . they worry that they will be cut off from their connection to the business , that their careers will suffer . good people , talented people are being kept from what they need most . we 've lost too much talent far too young . so i am very proud tonight to announce that the abbott - winters foundation is developing an intensive treatment program geared specifically to the needs of music industry professionals with substance abuse problems . our goal is to develop a model that can be used across the country . as our friend neil would say , `` it 's good to touch a life . it 's better to save one . `` thank you all for being here . [ applause ] nick : when mom hired you to go to vegas to check on what my dad was up to , did you happen to run across any of spider 's gambling associates ? rey : yeah . a woman named riza . i met her once . nick : yeah , my mom mentioned her . who was she to adam ? rey : well , essentially , she was his agent . she 'd set up the underground poker games and take a cut of the action . nick : and she just offered up this information ? rey : mm , i pieced it together . she was n't very talkative . nick : all right , well , maybe things are different now . you know , her meal ticket 's bailed . if she 's not happy , she might be a little more forthcoming . rey : it 's worth a try . traci : i am so proud of what you 're doing . jack : you like our latest brainstorm ? traci : jack , it 's perfect . it 's exactly what neil stood for . offering people understanding and hope , it 's just a beautiful , beautiful living tribute to his legacy . jack : well , i am hopeful , with the board 's help , that we will get this thing up and running by the fall . traci : that would be fabulous . jack : now , where is mallory ? traci : um , she 's just gone to powder her nose . jack : oh . traci : and , jack ... i 'm very glad to see you socializing , you know , making some new friends ... jack : oh , boy , it 's official . i need to get out . it seems to be the consensus everywhere i go . traci : [ laughs ] well , i guess i ca n't really comment in that area because i 've been spending most of my time locked in the house working on my book . jack : well , you 're here now , right ? traci : yeah , but it was cane 's idea . he -- he wanted to be here for the dedication , but he 's still feeling a little awkward with lily 's family . jack : he 's lucky to have you as a friend . traci : well , it 's -- it 's not like that . um , what i mean is that of course he 's a friend . i just did n't want it to sound , you know , like a pity case . jack : why not ? i pity him . losing lily , not having her in his life anymore ... i 'm sure he 's got bruises from kicking himself . sharon : hi . adam : hey . sharon : how 's your night going ? adam : um ... terrible . thanks for asking . victoria : well , it 's only 10 : 00 a.m . there , so you should be able to get ahold of everyone that you need to make that change . terrific . you , too . bye - bye . billy : i got your text , but it looks like you 've got your hands full . victoria : well , that 's what happens when you become the c.e.o . of a mega- conglomerate . billy : i , uh -- i know i told you that i was gon na bring pizza home for the kids -- wait , hold on a second . what did you just say ? did you say c.e.o . ? victoria : it just happened . billy : what ? victoria : dad 's taking a leave of absence . billy : oh , my gosh ! congratulations . victoria : thank you . billy : finally saw the light , did n't he ? victoria : yeah , well , i wish it were under happier circumstances . billy : is it because of his illness ? victoria : mom 's persuaded him to sort of , you know , put his health first . it 's supposed to be top - secret so , please , do n't let on that you know . billy : i am just delighted that you finally get what you 've been working so hard for . victoria : well , it 's just an invitation to work that much harder . billy : hey ! life at the top . victoria : yeah . but i want to make some big moves right away , to show the world that i 'm not just a placeholder for victor newman , or for anyone else , for that matter . billy : what , you think your father 's gon na change his mind and replace you with you - know - who ? victoria : if i do an amazing job , i do n't think the thought will even occur to him . billy : well , i think you 're gon na have to do more than that . speaking of the snake , i just saw him at the cemetery . victoria : adam was at the cemetery ? billy : at delia 's grave , yeah . victoria : why ? billy : [ sighs ] he said he was there to pay his respects . victoria : oh . yeah . uh - huh . why was he really there ? billy : i do n't know , i did n't allow him to stick around long enough to waste my time and figure out . victoria : good . good choice . billy : my point is ... if that lowlife would use delia 's death to try and get a reaction out of me , there is no bottom . victoria : well , that 's something that we all know already . billy : so if you want to hold on to this position , the one that you deserve , job number one is keeping an eye on adam . look what he did to nick and dark horse . victoria : using the money that i gave him . however , i think i have a way to neutralize the threat . billy : then what are you waiting for ? victoria : nothing . sharon : you did n't say whether this was for here or to go . adam : so you made the choice for me . [ sighs ] i 'm sorry . sharon : for what ? adam : i told you i would stay out of your life , and every time you turn around , there i am . i should find a new place to get coffee . sharon : i -- i did n't mean to ban you from crimson lights , it 's fine . i just really thought we should set some boundaries . adam : well , you 'll be seeing a lot less of me because i 'm moving back into my old penthouse . sharon : what ? adam : mm . sharon : i never expected you to move because of what i said . adam : i 'm not . dad evicted me . i guess if i want to talk to anybody in this town , i 'll have to get a dog . sharon : is that why you said your night was terrible , because you fought with victor ? adam : i stopped by delia 's grave . i -- i do n't know why , i just felt the need . billy was there , and he was already upset , of course , because , you know , he was thinking about his beloved child that died , and ... who shows up but the heartless bastard who killed her ? -my timing was impeccable , as always . sharon : well , i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry for both of your sakes . that sounds intense . adam : no , intense , i could have handled . once billy got rolling , things got ugly , and it just -- what am i doing ? i promise to keep you out of all my drama . sharon : i was really just talking about custody battles and corporate espionage , not something like this . i mean , if it helps you to talk -- adam : no , sharon , all right ? i ca n't keep leaning on you indefinitely . it is not fair to either one of us . sharon : adam -- adam : look , you need a clean break , and , if i 'm being honest , it 's probably the best thing for me , too . [ sighs ] even though i am going to hate it . good night . cane : so , i , uh -- i knew this bloke in australia , and , uh , he was a singer- songwriter , a really talented guy . anyway , he had this horrible stage fright , and every time he would go up onstage , he 'd freeze . so he started drinking some beers . next thing you know , he 's chasing the beers with whiskey , with pills on top of it , and , see , he kind of got to the point where ... well , he was so out of it , he 'd go up onstage and freeze anyway . traci : that 's awful . that 's the worst kind of irony , it 's so sad . cane : right , right , but i 'm thinking -- you know , that program that jack was talking about , it would be a godsend for this guy , and i 'm pretty certain that devon 's gon na get involved , and ... i do n't know , maybe i could pitch him , too , you know ? traci : oh ! i 'm sure they would want that . i mean , you have so much to offer . i 'm sure some of these folks have had brushes with the law , and ... cane : right . yeah . right . traci : you could talk them through the process of rebuilding their lives , just like you do with your clients at work . cane : right . traci : that would be wonderful . cane : [ sighs ] yeah . looks like lily made it after all . well , at least devon 's gon na be delighted . `` the young and the restless `` will continue . devon : oh ! hey , i thought you had to work . lily : yeah , i did , but i did n't want to miss this , so i got someone to cover for me devon : oh , well , i appreciate the effort . you remember elena , right ? lily : of course . good to see you . elena : good to see you . devon : and , uh , just so you know , cane is here . lily : yeah , i know . it 's fine . it 's fine . he loved dad , too , so ... will you show me the plaque that you had made for dad ? devon : yeah , for sure . it 's right over here . jack : look who 's here ! lily : hey ! jack ! jack : what a nice surprise ! lily : oh , thanks ! jack : mallory , this is lily , neil 's daughter . lily : hi , nice to meet you . jack : she 's come all the way from lakewood tonight . lily : yeah ! mallory : i 'm so sorry for your loss . lily : oh , thank you . jack : devon , i have a foundation donor at the end of the bar that wants to talk to you personally . devon : sure thing , sure thing . would you mind showing lily the plaque ? elena : yeah , of course . devon : okay . i 'll be right back . see ya . jack : thanks , man . traci : do you want to go say hello to lily ? cane : no , there 's -- there 's no rush . she just got here . let 's finish our drinks . traci : okay . that 's fine with me . devon : hey . you and jett sounded really great tonight . ana : glad you approve . and do n't worry if i get in late tonight . i agreed to help with clean - up . devon : you do n't have to . we have staff for that stuff . ana : i need the extra time to cool off . for you to bring in someone to train me like i 'm some newbie , i thought you had more confidence in my ability , but apparently i was wrong . devon : ana , i do n't want to talk about this right now . okay ? i 'm trying to focus on my dad . did you forget what tonight is supposed to be about ? [ door slams ] victor : what the hell are you doing here ? billy : i believe in giving credit where it 's due . i chewed you out for treating adam like an undeserved favorite . then you went and promoted victoria , which was the right thing to do . for your family and your business . victor : what makes you think i give a damn about whether i have your approval or not ? lily : charlie and mattie are going to love dad 's plaque . i know he would have loved it , too . that quote was one of his favorite . elena : yeah . yeah , it was really important for devon to get it right . all the little details . he and abby spent a lot of time coordinating everything . lily : i 'm really worried about him . i feel like he 's taking on too much . right ? i mean , he 's arranging this tribute and organizing jett 's tour , overseeing the restaurant . he 's running hamilton - winters without my dad ... and lost his assistant when he made ana his partner at lp . elena : and ana has n't really been around . she went with jett on his first few gigs to help him get used to being on tour again . lily : oh . so that means that you and devon are staying at the penthouse ? elena : [ chuckles ] lily : [ giggles ] lily : i 'm not trying to pry , i 'm really not , but , uh ... i am happy that devon has found someone special again . elena : thank you for saying so . ana : lily ! lily : hey ! ana : we 're all so pleased you could make it . lily : aww , thank you . i 'm glad to be here . jett : come on , it 's only right . lily : oh ! congratulations on your comeback tour . i 'm glad you and ana could come back in time to perform . ana : yeah . jett : well , it 's the least we could do , especially with how generous devon 's been with us . lily : yeah . oh , where is nate ? did he work tonight ? ana : no , he was here earlier . elena : there was a little tension with nate and devon . um , nate sold the apartment neil left for him , and devon was not very happy about it . nick : it 's a little late , do n't you think ? victoria : i realize that you 're upset with me , but , please , just hear me out . nick : [ sighs ] victoria : dad surprised me tonight . he promoted me to c.e.o . mom persuaded him to take a time - out while he 's in treatment . nick : [ scoffs ] well , congratulations . your teaming up with adam really paid off , and now you have everything you want . victoria : no , not everything . i need someone to take over for me at c.o.o . , and i think you 'd be perfect for the job . jack : take care . mallory : night ! traci : i 'm gon na go say hello to lily . lily : traci ! traci : hi . lily : it 's good to see you . traci : oh , thank you . you too , honey . how are you holding up ?

cane : yeah . i , uh -- yeah , well , we , uh -- we drove together . yeah . velma : [ sighs ] snap out of it , velma . you 're the last person in the world that he would ever -- [ sighs ] if anybody knew the thoughts that were bouncin ' around in your mind ... billy : i think it 's time for some straight talk . victor : really ? billy : yeah , um , you 've been dealing with some disappointments lately . i 'm sure you felt that adam was gon na be your heir apparent , and i guarantee that you were hoping victoria would kick me to the curb . victor : you 're right about that . billy : but neither one of those two things happened . so i think that 's good for you because your daughter is going to excel at the helm of this company , and i am going to be part of that success . victor : oh , yeah ? how do you figure that ? billy : because i 'm gon na support her . i 'm gon na give her everything she needs because i believe in her . an i think victoria 's the right person to lead this company into the future . and i am very excited to watch it happen . victor : well , i hope you mean that , you do n't self - destruct halfway through and then dump her , as you have done in the past . billy : that 's funny . i was gon na say the same thing about you . victor : [ chuckles ] billy boy . you know the way you came in . nick : [ sighs ] you 've got a lot of nerve , vick , thinking i would work with you after what you 've done . victoria : i know you 're not my biggest fan right now . nick : you think ? victoria : with good reason . but i also know that you 're smart enough to recognize what i 'm offering . working with me , you could have all of newman enterprises ' resources behind you . nick : power does n't motivate me the same way it does you and dad . victoria : even if you could wield it against adam ?

what are you doing out here ? traci : yes . everything 's fine . i -- i just was getting a little bit of air , you know . [ sighs ] i had an idea for the story , for the book , and i -- i just needed a private moment to sort of think it through , you know ? sometimes that happens , the story grabs you and it just wo n't let go . cane : why do n't i take you home and you can work in peace ? traci : no , that 's okay . i can find my own way home . i 'm sure that you 're really anxious to catch up with lily . cane : yeah , i , uh ... i already did . come here . madame ? rey : hey ! you 're back . sharon : hey . how 'd it go with nick ? rey : we had a productive discussion . sharon : well , i 'm glad i went to the coffeehouse . it turns out , brenda was a little under the weather , so i just sent her home for the day and filled in . rey : yeah ? place pretty busy ? sharon : put it this way , i 'm glad to be home with the man i love .

[ sighs ] we can make sure that does n't happen . nick : how ? victoria : you know adam 's fateful flaw . nick : being a hateful son of a bitch ? victoria : over - confidence . he always takes it a step too far , especially when he 's cornered . so we corner him . we push him to the brink . and when crosses the line , we catch him , we document it , and we prove to the court that he does not deserve to raise your son . so what do you say ? are you with me ? adam : where have you been hiding out ? had a lot of folks worried . phyllis : including you ? adam : well , i had hoped you were at some luxurious locale spending a big chunk of that money i gave you . phyllis : well , i was . after i escaped from the hellhole you had me stashed in . adam : what are you saying ? you 've been held somewhere against your will ? phyllis : [ sighs ] do n't insult my intelligence by pretending you had nothing to do with it . adam : why would i want to kidnap you , phyllis ? after we were working so well together . phyllis : well , i do n't know , maybe because i know too much . guess what ? i know more . after i left that roach motel , i went to vegas . you know what they say about vegas . whatever happens there , stays there . but not in this case . adam : mm - hmm . phyllis : do n't you come near me because i will scream . this is n't the ranch . you have neighbors . adam : i have no intention of hurting you , phyllis . and , anyway , it 's pretty clear that you 're bluffing . phyllis : why is that , because i could never know about your connections to people in vegas ? especially not to a certain member of the chancellor family ? next week on `` the young and the restless `` ... victor : the treatment i 've been getting is no longer working . apparently , there 's a new drug that they experimented with ... nick : well , it sounds like this is your best bet to beat the disease . victor : the side effects . cane : i 'm proud that i could have played a small part in helping you find your story . it 's incredible . you 're incredible . adam : you can stop playing nice . we both know you would kill me right now if you could .Summarize.[/INST]billy tells adam to leave delia 's grave because it is the one place in the world he should never be is anywhere near delia 's grave . nick asks rey to go to las vegas and dig up as much dirt on adam as he can so he can use it against him in the custody battle . lily arrives late to the music stage dedication but cane ca n't take his eyes off her . cane and traci say hello to lily and then traci leaves cane and lily alone to talk . cane realizes that things are awkward between him and lily and they ca n't even make polite conversation . cane tells lily that he must find traci and take her home because they drove to the party together . jack announces that in memory of neil the abbott winters foundation is developing a treament program to help those who are in the music industry . victir wants to take a leave of absence to focus on treating his illness so he names victoria ceo . victoria asks nick to be coo of the company and tells him that his focus would be keeping an eye on adam and waiting untill he makes a mistake so they could use it against him in the custody suit . devon has a panic attack when elena arrives home but instead of seeing elena he sees hilary walk through the door . adam is surprised to see phyllis when he walks through the door of his penthouse . phyllis tells him that she went to vegas and knows all his secrets . adam thinks phyllis is bluffing until she tells him she knows all about his connection to a member of the chancellor family .</s>

[ chuckles ] victoria : yeah , some of them very good . but it also made me realize something . i am nowhere near ready to be involved with you ... especially since just a few hours ago , i was ... [ sighs ] ... kissing somebody else . chelsea : well , i did n't ! i ca n't believe you just ruined the entire movie for me ! billy : and i ca n't believe you 're the only person on this planet that 's never seen this movie . i mean , what -- you live under a rock ? what 's the matter with you ? chelsea : what 's the matter with you , hmm ? billy : i -- chelsea : what the hell , billy ? billy : chelsea , i - i 'm sorry . i did n't mean for that to happen . chelsea : you accidentally kissed me ? billy : i just -- [ sighs ] i do n't know where my head is , okay ? my whole life is screwed up , and vick kicked me out . i have no home , no family . and just being here with you , i felt a connection , and i went with it . chelsea : next time , do n't . billy : chelsea , come on . it was just a kiss . chelsea : my husband just died , billy ! billy : i said i was sorry . i did n't mean to offend you . i mean , what more do you want me to do ? chelsea : just go . billy : chelsea , please , i do n't want to leave it like this . look , we 've always managed to stay friends . uh , do n't let one stupid kiss screw things up between us .

victoria : an understanding friend , i hope . stitch : that 's getting a little tougher . victoria : [ sighs ] we were at my sister 's engagement party , and we just kind of got caught up in the emotions and the ... warm wishes and the toasts and the , you know -- stitch : and the romance . victoria : it was just a kiss . that 's all . stitch : i 'm sure billy wanted it to go further . victoria : well , he has n't exactly made it a secret how he feels about me . stitch : yeah , i know how he feels . i think my question is , is just ... i mean , i 'm just wondering where your head is . victoria : i filed separation papers . stitch : that 's a big step , but you have n't said what 's next . victoria : no , because i do n't know . and until i figure that out , i just do n't think i can handle a serious relationship . stitch : and that includes getting involved with me , huh ? jack : so , who is it , victor ? who do you have your sights set on now ? victor : you 'd really like to know , would n't you , jack ? nikki : now , jack , you said yourself this was a wonderful evening . do n't ruin it ! jack : aside from a little dust - up over the fda inquiry , it was a sublime evening . i give you all the credit for that . i do n't believe for one second he was sincerely trying to mend fences . with that , i 'll say goodnight . thank you for a lovely party . nikki : thank you . jack : next time , it 'll be at my house ! victor : i can hardly wait , jack . you would think someone would 've taught that son of a bitch some manners . nikki : is he right ? victor : he has n't been right about a damn thing . nikki : then you were trying to make things right with the people you 're at odds with , even sharon ? nick : all right , let 's hear it . who put you up to this ? cassie : nobody . nick : do n't jerk me around . cassie : i 'm not . it was my idea to pretend to be cassie . nick : you said someone else was pulling the strings . cassie : that 's because you were scaring the hell out of me . i seriously thought you were gon na lose it , so i made up a story about someone forcing me to drive sharon crazy . nick : doing something like this to someone they do n't know does n't make sense . cassie : it would n't to a spoiled , rich dude like yourself . you probably eat off gold plates . nick : so , you found some woman who lost her child , and decided to torment her for a few bucks ? cassie : a few ? you newmans are loaded . nick : how do you know that ? cassie : 'cause i can read . there are only , what -- about a million articles about you guys on the internet ? nick : so , you just picked us at random ? cassie : sort of . i came across an article a while back about some super - rich family that started an anti - drinking campaign after their 14-year - old daughter died in a car accident . nick : cassie 's challenge . cassie : yeah , that 's it . there was a picture of the girl right before she died . i was blown away . she looked just like me . and i knew that if i made a few changes , i could pass for her -- an older version , anyway . nick : tell me -- whose mind goes to someplace like that ? it 's sick . cassie : one that 's trying to even the score . your family has way more than it needs , and i have way less . i saw this as an opportunity to get my fair share . nick : sure , destroy someone 's life so you can make yours a little more comfortable . cassie : i was trying to get a life , period ! maybe it went too far . nick : maybe ? cassie : by the time i realized it , it was too late . i know that i ca n't take any of that back , and i am sorry . but you told me if i told you the truth , i could go . nick : you can , as soon as you do . hilary : um , you know , i 'm just gon na head up to my room . neil : no , wait , wait . hold on a second . have you had a chance to congratulate leslie on her marriage yet ? hilary : uh ... no . neil : well , it 's interesting , because it all happened so suddenly . caught us all by surprise . leslie : neil -- hilary : you know , jack wanted us to go over those retail orders for chelsea 's line , see if we need to order more fabric ? leslie : okay , well , i 'm just gon na let you two get back to work . neil : wait a second . i 'm sure that my boss wo n't mind if i take a minute to catch up with my ex , because we have so much to catch up on . leslie : is it seriously gon na be like this every time we run into each other , neil ? neil : oh , forgive me . i thought we were having a cordial conversation right here . leslie : i thought , i really thought , we could be friends . i was hoping we could . neil : friends ? you thought we could be friends . that 's a great idea . [ knock on door ] sharon : jack . [ sighs ] jack : is that any way to greet a man that just saved you a trip to victor 's house ? sharon : what ? jack : i believe this is yours . sharon : oh ! [ sighs ] i 'm sorry . come on in . jack : thanks . i saw it on the way out . i figured you probably had your complete fill of your ex - in - laws for one evening . sharon : you know , i was so worried about nick when i walked out , i 'm surprised this is all i left behind . jack : wait , what happened to nick ? sharon : you know , he went out to the car just to grab abby and tyler 's gift , and then he never came back . jack : and you have n't heard from him since ? sharon : no , he called to say that he was okay , but he would n't tell me where he was or why he left . jack : i 'm sure he 's fine . i mean , he would 've said if he was n't , right ? sharon : just , why would he disappear like that ? jack : uh , he had a problem at the club , or he 's planning a surprise for you . i can keep going . sharon : no , no , no , no . you 're right . there 's a million logical reasons for why he had to go . jack : do you want me to keep you company while you wait for him ? sharon : no , you do n't have to . jack : i do n't have anywhere i have to be . sharon : okay , well , how about , um , some tea or coffee ? jack : i 've had about as much non - alcoholic drinks as i can at this party tonight . sharon : must be pretty tough to face victor when you ca n't have a drink . jack : oh , boy . you know what i really miss ? having phyllis by my side . boy , she would 've had a thing or two to say about his `` benevolent victor newman `` act tonight . i would 've loved to have heard every word of it . hey , i 'm supposed to be distracting you , and i 'm bringing you down . i 'm sorry . sharon : mm , no , you 're not bringing me down . jack : well , something 's troubling you . what , is it still nick ? sharon : it 's not that . jack : talk to me . what is it ? sharon : i have a confession to make . cassie : i told you the truth . nick : no , you did n't . and if you 're willing to make up a story this messed up , i 'm sure the truth is even worse . cassie : you know , believe whatever you like . what i told you is true . nick : okay , then explain to me how this scam of yours was gon na work , because you never asked for anything . every time you broke into sharon 's house , you never stole anything -- no money , no jewelry , no valuables , nothing . cassie : maybe i was waiting for a bigger payoff . nick : then what were you gon na do -- have sharon write a check to a ghost ? cassie : i had n't thought about it yet . nick : because you did n't have to ! there 's someone else paying you . cassie : you know , you keep saying that , but you have nothing to back it up ! nick : look , sharon went into the hospital because of this . she got electric shock treatment . is this what you were hoping to accomplish ? cassie : no . no , it was n't , i swear . that 's why i called it off . i knew i 'd gone too far , and i was n't gon na do it again ! nick : then why were you sneaking around my parents ' place ? cassie : that was n't because of sharon . nick : who stalks a family get - together like that ? you did n't know anyone else . cassie : okay , you know what ? we 're done . nick : if you do n't want to talk to me , then you get to talk to the police . cassie : no , no , please . please do n't call the police . nick : then tell me who is behind this . cassie : i ca n't ! he 'll kill me ! nick : who ? who 's gon na kill you ? victor : did n't i tell you that i wanted peace with my family ? nikki : you did . victor : okay , and did n't you tell me that the way to go about it would be to stop trying to control my children and grandchildren ? nikki : yes , but when do you ever take my advice ? victor : baby , every morning , when you pick out my tie . nikki : [ chuckles ] well , you ca n't blame me for being wary of this newfound attitude . victor : i do n't blame you , but i 'm sincere , okay ? nikki : so , you have no reservations about abby marrying tyler ? victor : [ sighs ] i do . you know what the reservation is about ? nikki : hmm ? victor : i think the disparity in their financial incomes is too great . nikki : well , he has a good job . victor : well , at jabot . nikki : well , she works there , too . victor : well , sweetheart , she 's worth a fortune . you and i both know that , okay ? i know she works at jabot , and one day , i 'll get her over to come take a position at newman - chancellor . maybe she can bring him along , as well . nikki : mm - hmm . victor : do n't you worry . if that 's what they want , okay ? i did n't say i was gon na dictate it . nikki : very good . wow . what happened with adam really has changed you . victor : maybe a little . nikki : well , you both made mistakes . victor : yeah , he ca n't rectify his anymore . but i certainly can do right by his son , ca n't i ? and i 'm going to . chelsea : billy , wait . billy : what ? what 's wrong ? chelsea : it 's connor . his cough 's gotten worse . he 's not breathing properly . billy : have you called the doctor ? chelsea : yeah , they had to page her . they said that she would call me back . billy : okay , i 'm sure that she will . chelsea : what do you think it is ? billy : could be croup . i mean , both my kids had it . chelsea : well , what am i supposed to do ? billy : the doctor told us to turn on the shower as hot as we can and stay in the bathroom with him . the steam helps with his congestion so he can breathe . chelsea : okay , well , maybe i should do that while i wait for the doctor to call back . billy : yeah , it ca n't hurt . chelsea : oh , my god . billy : what ? chelsea : oh , my god . i have a button missing . what if connor swallowed my button ? billy : uh , chelsea , i do n't think -- chelsea : he 's not breathing properly ! i 've never seen him like this ! billy : he 's not choking . chelsea : uh , last time that i took him to the hospital , he ended up being okay , but the doctor said that it was the right thing to do . billy : okay , fine . let 's get him there . come on . i 'll take you . chelsea : it 's okay , baby . okay , i got you . it 's okay . it 's okay . hilary : neil , i really think we should go over those invoices . neil : just give me a second , okay ? [ clears throat ] so , i know that i said we could n't be friends , but that was before you got married to somebody else , and now that you are , i do n't think there 's any danger of crossing the line . do you ? leslie : no , there definitely is n't . neil : so why not be friends ? we 've shared so much . we probably even qualify for best friends , right ? leslie : stop it , neil ! neil : how about i give you one hell of a wedding reception right here at the gcac ? leslie : no , thank you . neil : right . you like intimate . or you did . it 's kind of hard to keep up with your stance on weddings and marriage . eh , never mind . does n't really matter , does it ? [ clears throat ] how 'bout we , uh -- we keep it small , intimate ? dinner . i 'll buy . you , me , and what 's your husband 's name ? no offense . i 'm just trying to be gracious . leslie : no , you 're not . you 're trying to push my buttons , and it wo n't work , okay ? i ca n't let you ruin my happiness . i truly hope you find some for yourself . that 's all i ever wanted , really , is for you to be happy . neil : [ sighs ] hilary : hey . you okay ? neil : oh , yeah , i 'm fine . i just wish i had some , uh , rice or birdseed or whatever the hell they throw at brides these days , you know ? hilary : neil -- neil : hey , i 'll , uh , catch up with you later to go over those retail orders , all right ? you take care . hilary : may i join you ? leslie : [ sighs ] victoria : oh , well , it 's good to know if we ever do get involved , you 're not averse to domestic duties . stitch : yeah , well , i 've been a bachelor for a while now . guess i better get used to it staying that way . i 'm sorry . i should n't have said that . victoria : no , it 's okay . no , it was -- i mean , we were moving in a direction , and i ca n't really blame you for wanting to continue in that direction . it 's just that i 'm not saying never . i just need a little more time to sort things out . stitch : look , i get it . you and billy have a history . does n't mean i 'm not a little jealous , that 's all . victoria : then we 're even , because i was a little jealous of ashley . stitch : i 'm jealous . you 're jealous . maybe , uh ... we 're a little more involved than we think . [ both chuckle ] billy : need a doctor here ! stitch : what ? victoria : billy ? stitch : connor ? what 's wrong ? chelsea : i do n't know . he 's had a cold , but then he woke up coughing , and i do n't think he 's breathing well . and then i got concerned because i lost a button on my sweater . i do n't know if he swallowed it , but he 's been gasping for air the whole way here . stitch : all right , all right . let 's get him in the exam room . come on . chelsea : come on . it 's okay . it 's okay . billy : [ sighs ] victoria : hey . i 'm sure that connor will be okay . billy : yeah , that 's what i told dee dee . victoria : billy -- billy : you know , this whole time , i just could not stop thinking about that ambulance ride . victoria : this is n't like that . billy : i know it 's not , all right ? but the hospital still felt like a million miles away from chelsea 's place . victoria : what were you doing there ? jack : you want to tell me something . sharon : it 's about phyllis . jack : what about phyllis ? sharon : it 's indirectly about her , and me . i have been really struggling with my bipolar , and i recently decided to take a very drastic step . jack : in your therapy ? sharon : i underwent electroconvulsive therapy . jack : what ? sharon : and before you say anything , it 's not as archaic as it used to be , and it seems to have worked . jack : wow . i -- well , i 'm glad to hear that . sharon : but , there are some side - effects , and one of them is that my memory has been wiped out , and i do n't know if it will ever come back . so phyllis ' accident , for example -- even though i do n't remember it , um , i have been told about it . jack : wow , i wish i could forget it . sharon : so , i just wanted you to know that , though i have no recollection of it , my heart does go out to you and to phyllis . i hope she gets well soon . jack : okay , i 'm gon na go out on a limb here and guess that you do n't remember the nature of your relationship with phyllis . sharon : i know we were n't the best of friends . jack : oh , that is putting it mildly . sharon : [ sighs ] well , still -- you know , i hope she recovers , not only for her sake but for summer 's , and for you . jack : well , thanks . i have n't given up . i ca n't . [ sighs ] i already lost too much . sharon : and you lost adam . jack : yeah , we both lost a good friend there . sharon : i 'm surprised that no one 's planned a memorial for him . jack : you know what ? his death impacted a lot of people , but i do n't think everyone felt about adam as we did . sharon : well , victor , you would think , at least would 've done something for his son . jack : yeah , particularly if nikki is right , and adam 's death has caused victor to change in some giant way . nick : tell me who you 're afraid of . cassie : i 've said too much already . nick : you just told me that someone tried to get you to drive sharon crazy . if you think i 'm gon na let that go , then you 're the one losing your mind . cassie : you ca n't make me talk . nick : i already have . you said `` he . `` it 's someone who has a pretty serious grudge against sharon . to hurt her like this . cassie : [ scoffs ] whatever you say , sherlock . nick : he knew cassie . he has access to family photos . he got you on the ranch . security guys are loyal . they would n't take a bribe , and you got past them . and he 's got money , 'cause he tried to pay you off . there 's only one person that could 've done this . sharon : do you really think nikki is right -- that victor 's turned over a new leaf ? jack : eh , i think he 's putting on a good show . certainly did tonight . i mean , he did n't give tyler a hard time . he was pretty decent with you , was n't he ? sharon : i guess you could call it that , though he made it very clear that he has n't forgiven or forgotten any of the things that i have done to him , even though i was n't well . jack : for a guy who 's been through as much as he 's been through with nikki , you 'd think he 'd be the first one to understand a person with emotional problems . sharon : mm - hmm . well , victor 's on your side until he 's not . still , i think i saw a dent in the armor tonight . jack : oh ? sharon : yes , his attacks against me used to be about revenge and about making me pay for what i had done to him and his family . jack : and now ? sharon : now i think he just seems concerned about nicholas , which i guess i ca n't blame him for . i mean , what parent would n't want the best for their child ? jack : wow , you almost make him sound human . sharon : i just do n't want to waste any more time hating victor , or anyone , for that matter . i hope victor feels the same way . jack : well , i suppose it 's possible that adam 's death caused victor to have a whole new point of view . who knows ? maybe a loss that devastating could cause him to grow a conscience . nikki : i could get used to this . victor : get used to what ? nikki : a kinder , gentler victor . victor : but , baby , i 'm always kind and gentle with you . nikki : i know . always with me , but now you 're going the extra mile with other people -- victor : mm - hmm . nikki : -- including nicholas . i know how much he appreciated you letting him bring sharon tonight . victor : you know how much i hate to be at odds with our son . nikki : he loves you very much , no matter how upset he may get with you . i could see that tonight . victor : he has your heart , my baby . nikki : and yours -- loyal and brave . victor : you know what i wanted to tell you ? nikki : what ? victor : how much i appreciate you always having supported me . you 've always been loyal to me . i want to thank you for that . nikki : darling , you do n't have to thank me for living up to the vows we said on our wedding day . victor : oh ! well , in that case , i 'll take back what i had arranged for you . nikki : no ! do n't you dare . victor : oh , yeah ? nick : it was my dad , was n't it ? it was victor newman . cassie : no . nick : you 're lying . who else could it be ? cassie : wow . you know , it 's really sad that you 'd think that your dad could do something like this . nick : i do n't want to believe it , but i have to . who else would hate sharon this much ? who else has access to family photos , to the ranch ? cassie : i told you , i did all of that myself ! nick : look , i get that you 're scared , but trust me -- you are not the first person my dad has put the fear of god into . but he is not gon na kill you . i need you to tell me the truth . did my dad do this ? cassie : [ sighs ] [ voice breaking ] you do n't understand . there is just so much more to this than you know . nick : like what ? cassie : it 's complicated . nick : then explain it to me . help me understand why my dad would want you to torture sharon like this . cassie : i ca n't . i 'm sorry . nick : you know , you keep saying that . you keep saying that you 're sorry , that you regret pushing sharon to the brink where she almost lost her mind . cassie : i do ! i really , really do ! sharon loved cassie , and it 's ovious what losing her did to sharon . nick : it nearly destroyed us both . cassie : and i am sorry about that . i am so , so sorry that you had to go through that , and i 'm sorry for bringing up all of this pain again . nick : okay . if you mean that , if you truly mean that , then please tell me the truth and answer the question . [ voice breaking ] did my dad put you up to this ? cassie : yes . billy : [ chuckles ] are you seriously asking me why i was at chelsea 's place after that little `` fashion show `` you put on for me earlier ? victoria : it was just a question . billy : you know , i got a question for you . i mean , what are you and dr. crew- cut doing here instead of being on your hot date you got all dressed up for ? uh , you know what ? i 'm not asking , 'cause we 're separated , as in separate lives . you do what you want , and i 'll do what i want . victoria : fine . chelsea seemed pretty shaken up . billy : yeah , connor 's cough seems pretty nasty . victoria : do you think he actually swallowed a button ? billy : i do n't know . i mean , one minute , your kid 's fine and healthy , and the next , uh -- victoria : do n't worry , okay ? i 'm sure you got him here in plenty of time . billy : yeah , i hope so . victoria : hey , he 's in the best possible hands right now . billy : oh , you mean with stitch ? victoria : billy , listen . billy : uh , uh , it 's okay . all right ? i know you did n't mean anything by it . um , i guess we just ca n't stop hurting each other these days , right ? victoria : i do n't know . just [ footsteps ] billy : is he okay ? stitch : yeah , no obstruction in his airway . just a bad case of croup . victoria : oh , thank god . i mean , i 'm glad it was n't anything worse . chelsea : me , too . thank you for being a sane , rational adult when i was n't . billy : um , no one 's ever accused me of that before . chelsea : [ sighs ] i do n't know what connor and i would 've done without you . i know , baby . i know . jack : just got a phone call from rick forrester . they 're getting as many new orders as we are . neil : aha . yeah , that 's one of the reasons i came by -- to update you on the quarterly sales right here . jack : we could 've done this tomorrow . neil : well , there 's something to be said about getting together in person outside the office , now , is n't there ? jack : yeah , particularly if you want to talk about something other than work , like ... maybe you and leslie ? neil : no . no , thanks . nothing to talk about there . jack : have you heard from her ? neil : we ran into each other . about the quarterly sales -- jack : oh , oh , hold on . i 'm gon na do for you what you 've been doing for me for quite a while now . neil : what 's that , jack -- let you win on , uh , hoops ? jack : have a seat . neil : [ chuckles ] jack : no , i 'm gon na lend you an ear and a shoulder , if you need one . neil : appreciate the shoulder , but i 'm not gon na cry . no . um , jack , i just do n't understand what happened here . i mean , one day , we 're engaged , and the next , she 's married to some total stranger . jack : got to be rough . neil : yeah . maybe if i had n't been so insistent on getting married , she would 've come around eventually . jack : you may not want to hear this , but have you ever ... [ sighs ] ... considered that maybe if she can move on this easily with her life , the two of you did n't have much of a future together anyway ? neil : oh - ho - ho . i see . it 's the jack attack , right ? yeah . jack : no . neil : this is your way of making me feel better . jack : no , this is my way of telling you maybe you 're lucky you never married leslie . neil : it 's funny . you sound a lot like hilary . jack : hilary ? what 's she got to do with this ? neil : well , she said something very similar . she used the word `` lucky . `` jack : what -- you talk with her about something like this ? neil : yeah . you sound surprised , jack . jack : i did n't realize you two were that close . leslie : oh , i 'm glad you came over . i wanted to , uh , i wanted to thank you . hilary : mm . thank me . leslie : yeah , for trying to stop neil from making a scene . girl , he just ca n't keep doing that , you know ? i just need him to understand that -- hilary : he needs to understand ? [ chuckles ] wow , you 're just not getting it , are you ? [ scoffs ] neil is a good and decent man , and he was crazy in love with you . and you shattered him . you broke his heart , and then , for the hell of it , you threw it on the ground and stomped out . leslie : wait a minute , okay ? i was honest with neil . hilary : you 're not even honest with yourself . marrying a man that you knew for 15 minutes after telling neil that marriage is n't for you ? [ scoffs ] leslie : i think you should go . hilary : so should you -- straight to hell , because that 's where somebody who treats an amazing guy like neil belongs . leslie : i did not hurt him intentionally . hilary : oh , yeah , no harm done , then , right ? leslie : you finished ? hilary : not quite , no . cut the bull about wanting to be friends with neil , okay ? he does n't need a lying back - stabber like you in his life . he can do much better than that . leslie : oh , really ? hilary : mm - hmm . leslie : like you ? nikki : this yacht is magnificent . it must be 100 feet long . victor : 150 feet , and a crew of 20 . nikki : [ chuckles ] all for us . victor : yes . nikki : oh , my god . victor ... this itinerary you have come up with -- uh , spain , france , italy , monaco , turkey , greece . victor : sweetheart , anywhere you want to go . just tell the captain . that 's all . is n't that beautiful ? nikki : what about ... victor : oh . there 's a doctor on board . and he happens to be a specialist in m.s . nikki : you 've thought of everything . victor : do n't i always ? nikki : yes . victor : hmm ? nikki : and our timing is perfect . ian sails into town . we sail out . victor : so my baby likes the surprise ? nikki : mm , i ca n't think of a better way to celebrate our anniversary . victor : come here . nikki : well , maybe i can . victor : oh , i can . nikki : [ giggles ] victor : wait for me upstairs , okay ? nikki : mm . okay . do n't take too long . victor : i wo n't . [ cell phone rings ] victor : yes , son . what is it ? nick : i need to talk to you about something . victor : ca n't this wait till tomorrow ? nick : no , it ca n't . jack : so , when did you get so close to hilary ? neil : who said we were ? jack : well , i just -- i did n't know that you would talk to her about something so personal . i did n't realize you were that close . neil : yeah , well , i mean , we got to know each other on the trip to los angeles . you remember that business trip . and then , uh , we were stranded in oklahoma . jack , the tournament . march madness . you remember that . ah , never mind . jack : i 'm not judging . i just did n't know about this . neil : it 's okay . i 'm sorry . i know she 's your assistant , so ... jack : no , that is not the problem at all . i 'm glad she 's been there for you . and if we 're both telling you the same thing , maybe you ought to listen to the idea that you 're lucky you did n't marry leslie . this makes you available for the right woman . she 's out there , neil . neil : yeah . jack : a woman who can be there for you . a woman that you deserve . neil : so , what you 're saying is one door closes , another one opens , right ? jack : she 's out there , neil . believe me . neil : [ chuckles softly ] leslie : you know what ? you 've got a lot of nerve . accusing me of trying to destroy neil 's life , when that was your sole purpose for coming to genoa city . you did a hell of a job . you did not only of trying to hurt neil , but you tried to destroy his whole family . now , all of a sudden , you 're his big champion , his big hero . what 's up with that , hilary ? hilary : you know what ? just stay out of neil 's life , all right ? leslie : back at you , sister . back . at . you . chelsea : paperwork 's all taken care of . we can go . victoria : i 'm glad connor 's okay . chelsea : thank you . stitch : yeah , uh , call me if you have any problems . chelsea : i 'm sure we 'll be fine . billy was right from the beginning . he insisted it was croup . billy : better safe than sorry . chelsea : well , um , billy , we 're gon na take a cab home , so ... billy : oh , no . i can take you . chelsea : are you sure ? billy : yeah . you know , what else do i have to do , huh ? chelsea : um , well , thank you so much for your help , stitch . stitch : uh , you bet . chelsea : let 's go , okay ? victor : son , it 's late . nick : i would n't ask you to come if it was n't important . victor : okay , i 'll be right there .

<s>[INST] jack : i do n't know how you do it . you have all the abbotts and the newmans under one roof for an entire evening , and it 's still an exquisite party . nikki : [ chuckles ] well , i wanted tonight to be perfect for abby and tyler . jack : mission accomplished and then some . nikki : i 've always believed our families could be copacetic . jack : i never have . nikki : [ chuckles ] jack : but i have to admit , tonight , there were , uh , no casualties . oh , maybe i spoke too soon . victor : i thought you 'd be gone by now , jack . jack : actually , i 'm a little surprised i 'm the last one to leave . nikki : well , maybe this is a sign that you two can get along . jack : i doubt that , though i have to admit you were quite gracious this evening . victor : really ? jack : only makes me that much more suspicious . victor : [ chuckles ] you think i have something up my sleeve ? jack : i know you do . victor : uh - huh . jack : one of your guests tonight had a target on their back . i just do n't know which one . victor : uh - huh . sharon : nick , i know you said you were fine , but i 'm worried , and i 'm not the only one . noah and courtney just left here to look for you . i mean , you sounded so upset . please just call me as soon as you get this message . nick : answer me . whose idea was it for you to pretend to be cassie ? you are not going anywhere until you tell me who told you to torment sharon . i still can not believe how much you look like her . cassie : let me go , and you will never have to see this face again . do it . open the door , and i will be gone forever . nick : not until you tell me the truth . cassie : okay . i 'll tell you everything . neil : hilary , about the other day -- hilary : yeah , you know , neil , you do n't have to talk about it . neil : no , i really do need to talk about it . i think we 've avoided it too much , here . uh , we need to clear the air . hilary : there 's nothing to clear , okay ? we both know what that kiss was about . victoria : [ sighs ] stitch : does that answer your question ? victoria : [ sighs ] i - i do n't know . i ca n't remember what it was . stitch : you asked if we were involved . victoria : oh . right . stitch : does that kiss clear things up ? victoria : it did a lot of things . stitch : good things , i hope . [ chuckles ] victoria : yeah , some of them very good . but it also made me realize something . i am nowhere near ready to be involved with you ... especially since just a few hours ago , i was ... [ sighs ] ... kissing somebody else . chelsea : well , i did n't ! i ca n't believe you just ruined the entire movie for me ! billy : and i ca n't believe you 're the only person on this planet that 's never seen this movie . i mean , what -- you live under a rock ? what 's the matter with you ? chelsea : what 's the matter with you , hmm ? billy : i -- chelsea : what the hell , billy ? billy : chelsea , i - i 'm sorry . i did n't mean for that to happen . chelsea : you accidentally kissed me ? billy : i just -- [ sighs ] i do n't know where my head is , okay ? my whole life is screwed up , and vick kicked me out . i have no home , no family . and just being here with you , i felt a connection , and i went with it . chelsea : next time , do n't . billy : chelsea , come on . it was just a kiss . chelsea : my husband just died , billy ! billy : i said i was sorry . i did n't mean to offend you . i mean , what more do you want me to do ? chelsea : just go . billy : chelsea , please , i do n't want to leave it like this . look , we 've always managed to stay friends . uh , do n't let one stupid kiss screw things up between us . [ connor coughing ] chelsea : i should go take care of my son . you 'd better be gone when i get back . billy : chelsea -- [ sighs ] stitch : guess i do n't have to ask who you kissed . victoria : [ groans ] you know , i did n't plan it . stitch : yeah , but still , you were with billy , and then you went out on a date with me , so -- victoria : [ sighs ] technically , he 's still my husband . stitch : what am i ? victoria : an understanding friend , i hope . stitch : that 's getting a little tougher . victoria : [ sighs ] we were at my sister 's engagement party , and we just kind of got caught up in the emotions and the ... warm wishes and the toasts and the , you know -- stitch : and the romance . victoria : it was just a kiss . that 's all . stitch : i 'm sure billy wanted it to go further . victoria : well , he has n't exactly made it a secret how he feels about me . stitch : yeah , i know how he feels . i think my question is , is just ... i mean , i 'm just wondering where your head is . victoria : i filed separation papers . stitch : that 's a big step , but you have n't said what 's next . victoria : no , because i do n't know . and until i figure that out , i just do n't think i can handle a serious relationship . stitch : and that includes getting involved with me , huh ? jack : so , who is it , victor ? who do you have your sights set on now ? victor : you 'd really like to know , would n't you , jack ? nikki : now , jack , you said yourself this was a wonderful evening . do n't ruin it ! jack : aside from a little dust - up over the fda inquiry , it was a sublime evening . i give you all the credit for that . i do n't believe for one second he was sincerely trying to mend fences . with that , i 'll say goodnight . thank you for a lovely party . nikki : thank you . jack : next time , it 'll be at my house ! victor : i can hardly wait , jack . you would think someone would 've taught that son of a bitch some manners . nikki : is he right ? victor : he has n't been right about a damn thing . nikki : then you were trying to make things right with the people you 're at odds with , even sharon ? nick : all right , let 's hear it . who put you up to this ? cassie : nobody . nick : do n't jerk me around . cassie : i 'm not . it was my idea to pretend to be cassie . nick : you said someone else was pulling the strings . cassie : that 's because you were scaring the hell out of me . i seriously thought you were gon na lose it , so i made up a story about someone forcing me to drive sharon crazy . nick : doing something like this to someone they do n't know does n't make sense . cassie : it would n't to a spoiled , rich dude like yourself . you probably eat off gold plates . nick : so , you found some woman who lost her child , and decided to torment her for a few bucks ? cassie : a few ? you newmans are loaded . nick : how do you know that ? cassie : 'cause i can read . there are only , what -- about a million articles about you guys on the internet ? nick : so , you just picked us at random ? cassie : sort of . i came across an article a while back about some super - rich family that started an anti - drinking campaign after their 14-year - old daughter died in a car accident . nick : cassie 's challenge . cassie : yeah , that 's it . there was a picture of the girl right before she died . i was blown away . she looked just like me . and i knew that if i made a few changes , i could pass for her -- an older version , anyway . nick : tell me -- whose mind goes to someplace like that ? it 's sick . cassie : one that 's trying to even the score . your family has way more than it needs , and i have way less . i saw this as an opportunity to get my fair share . nick : sure , destroy someone 's life so you can make yours a little more comfortable . cassie : i was trying to get a life , period ! maybe it went too far . nick : maybe ? cassie : by the time i realized it , it was too late . i know that i ca n't take any of that back , and i am sorry . but you told me if i told you the truth , i could go . nick : you can , as soon as you do . hilary : um , you know , i 'm just gon na head up to my room . neil : no , wait , wait . hold on a second . have you had a chance to congratulate leslie on her marriage yet ? hilary : uh ... no . neil : well , it 's interesting , because it all happened so suddenly . caught us all by surprise . leslie : neil -- hilary : you know , jack wanted us to go over those retail orders for chelsea 's line , see if we need to order more fabric ? leslie : okay , well , i 'm just gon na let you two get back to work . neil : wait a second . i 'm sure that my boss wo n't mind if i take a minute to catch up with my ex , because we have so much to catch up on . leslie : is it seriously gon na be like this every time we run into each other , neil ? neil : oh , forgive me . i thought we were having a cordial conversation right here . leslie : i thought , i really thought , we could be friends . i was hoping we could . neil : friends ? you thought we could be friends . that 's a great idea . [ knock on door ] sharon : jack . [ sighs ] jack : is that any way to greet a man that just saved you a trip to victor 's house ? sharon : what ? jack : i believe this is yours . sharon : oh ! [ sighs ] i 'm sorry . come on in . jack : thanks . i saw it on the way out . i figured you probably had your complete fill of your ex - in - laws for one evening . sharon : you know , i was so worried about nick when i walked out , i 'm surprised this is all i left behind . jack : wait , what happened to nick ? sharon : you know , he went out to the car just to grab abby and tyler 's gift , and then he never came back . jack : and you have n't heard from him since ? sharon : no , he called to say that he was okay , but he would n't tell me where he was or why he left . jack : i 'm sure he 's fine . i mean , he would 've said if he was n't , right ? sharon : just , why would he disappear like that ? jack : uh , he had a problem at the club , or he 's planning a surprise for you . i can keep going . sharon : no , no , no , no . you 're right . there 's a million logical reasons for why he had to go . jack : do you want me to keep you company while you wait for him ? sharon : no , you do n't have to . jack : i do n't have anywhere i have to be . sharon : okay , well , how about , um , some tea or coffee ? jack : i 've had about as much non - alcoholic drinks as i can at this party tonight . sharon : must be pretty tough to face victor when you ca n't have a drink . jack : oh , boy . you know what i really miss ? having phyllis by my side . boy , she would 've had a thing or two to say about his `` benevolent victor newman `` act tonight . i would 've loved to have heard every word of it . hey , i 'm supposed to be distracting you , and i 'm bringing you down . i 'm sorry . sharon : mm , no , you 're not bringing me down . jack : well , something 's troubling you . what , is it still nick ? sharon : it 's not that . jack : talk to me . what is it ? sharon : i have a confession to make . cassie : i told you the truth . nick : no , you did n't . and if you 're willing to make up a story this messed up , i 'm sure the truth is even worse . cassie : you know , believe whatever you like . what i told you is true . nick : okay , then explain to me how this scam of yours was gon na work , because you never asked for anything . every time you broke into sharon 's house , you never stole anything -- no money , no jewelry , no valuables , nothing . cassie : maybe i was waiting for a bigger payoff . nick : then what were you gon na do -- have sharon write a check to a ghost ? cassie : i had n't thought about it yet . nick : because you did n't have to ! there 's someone else paying you . cassie : you know , you keep saying that , but you have nothing to back it up ! nick : look , sharon went into the hospital because of this . she got electric shock treatment . is this what you were hoping to accomplish ? cassie : no . no , it was n't , i swear . that 's why i called it off . i knew i 'd gone too far , and i was n't gon na do it again ! nick : then why were you sneaking around my parents ' place ? cassie : that was n't because of sharon . nick : who stalks a family get - together like that ? you did n't know anyone else . cassie : okay , you know what ? we 're done . nick : if you do n't want to talk to me , then you get to talk to the police . cassie : no , no , please . please do n't call the police . nick : then tell me who is behind this . cassie : i ca n't ! he 'll kill me ! nick : who ? who 's gon na kill you ? victor : did n't i tell you that i wanted peace with my family ? nikki : you did . victor : okay , and did n't you tell me that the way to go about it would be to stop trying to control my children and grandchildren ? nikki : yes , but when do you ever take my advice ? victor : baby , every morning , when you pick out my tie . nikki : [ chuckles ] well , you ca n't blame me for being wary of this newfound attitude . victor : i do n't blame you , but i 'm sincere , okay ? nikki : so , you have no reservations about abby marrying tyler ? victor : [ sighs ] i do . you know what the reservation is about ? nikki : hmm ? victor : i think the disparity in their financial incomes is too great . nikki : well , he has a good job . victor : well , at jabot . nikki : well , she works there , too . victor : well , sweetheart , she 's worth a fortune . you and i both know that , okay ? i know she works at jabot , and one day , i 'll get her over to come take a position at newman - chancellor . maybe she can bring him along , as well . nikki : mm - hmm . victor : do n't you worry . if that 's what they want , okay ? i did n't say i was gon na dictate it . nikki : very good . wow . what happened with adam really has changed you . victor : maybe a little . nikki : well , you both made mistakes . victor : yeah , he ca n't rectify his anymore . but i certainly can do right by his son , ca n't i ? and i 'm going to . chelsea : billy , wait . billy : what ? what 's wrong ? chelsea : it 's connor . his cough 's gotten worse . he 's not breathing properly . billy : have you called the doctor ? chelsea : yeah , they had to page her . they said that she would call me back . billy : okay , i 'm sure that she will . chelsea : what do you think it is ? billy : could be croup . i mean , both my kids had it . chelsea : well , what am i supposed to do ? billy : the doctor told us to turn on the shower as hot as we can and stay in the bathroom with him . the steam helps with his congestion so he can breathe . chelsea : okay , well , maybe i should do that while i wait for the doctor to call back . billy : yeah , it ca n't hurt . chelsea : oh , my god . billy : what ? chelsea : oh , my god . i have a button missing . what if connor swallowed my button ? billy : uh , chelsea , i do n't think -- chelsea : he 's not breathing properly ! i 've never seen him like this ! billy : he 's not choking . chelsea : uh , last time that i took him to the hospital , he ended up being okay , but the doctor said that it was the right thing to do . billy : okay , fine . let 's get him there . come on . i 'll take you . chelsea : it 's okay , baby . okay , i got you . it 's okay . it 's okay . hilary : neil , i really think we should go over those invoices . neil : just give me a second , okay ? [ clears throat ] so , i know that i said we could n't be friends , but that was before you got married to somebody else , and now that you are , i do n't think there 's any danger of crossing the line . do you ? leslie : no , there definitely is n't . neil : so why not be friends ? we 've shared so much . we probably even qualify for best friends , right ? leslie : stop it , neil ! neil : how about i give you one hell of a wedding reception right here at the gcac ? leslie : no , thank you . neil : right . you like intimate . or you did . it 's kind of hard to keep up with your stance on weddings and marriage . eh , never mind . does n't really matter , does it ? [ clears throat ] how 'bout we , uh -- we keep it small , intimate ? dinner . i 'll buy . you , me , and what 's your husband 's name ? no offense . i 'm just trying to be gracious . leslie : no , you 're not . you 're trying to push my buttons , and it wo n't work , okay ? i ca n't let you ruin my happiness . i truly hope you find some for yourself . that 's all i ever wanted , really , is for you to be happy . neil : [ sighs ] hilary : hey . you okay ? neil : oh , yeah , i 'm fine . i just wish i had some , uh , rice or birdseed or whatever the hell they throw at brides these days , you know ? hilary : neil -- neil : hey , i 'll , uh , catch up with you later to go over those retail orders , all right ? you take care . hilary : may i join you ? leslie : [ sighs ] victoria : oh , well , it 's good to know if we ever do get involved , you 're not averse to domestic duties . stitch : yeah , well , i 've been a bachelor for a while now . guess i better get used to it staying that way . i 'm sorry . i should n't have said that . victoria : no , it 's okay . no , it was -- i mean , we were moving in a direction , and i ca n't really blame you for wanting to continue in that direction . it 's just that i 'm not saying never . i just need a little more time to sort things out . stitch : look , i get it . you and billy have a history . does n't mean i 'm not a little jealous , that 's all . victoria : then we 're even , because i was a little jealous of ashley . stitch : i 'm jealous . you 're jealous . maybe , uh ... we 're a little more involved than we think . [ both chuckle ] billy : need a doctor here ! stitch : what ? victoria : billy ? stitch : connor ? what 's wrong ? chelsea : i do n't know . he 's had a cold , but then he woke up coughing , and i do n't think he 's breathing well . and then i got concerned because i lost a button on my sweater . i do n't know if he swallowed it , but he 's been gasping for air the whole way here . stitch : all right , all right . let 's get him in the exam room . come on . chelsea : come on . it 's okay . it 's okay . billy : [ sighs ] victoria : hey . i 'm sure that connor will be okay . billy : yeah , that 's what i told dee dee . victoria : billy -- billy : you know , this whole time , i just could not stop thinking about that ambulance ride . victoria : this is n't like that . billy : i know it 's not , all right ? but the hospital still felt like a million miles away from chelsea 's place . victoria : what were you doing there ? jack : you want to tell me something . sharon : it 's about phyllis . jack : what about phyllis ? sharon : it 's indirectly about her , and me . i have been really struggling with my bipolar , and i recently decided to take a very drastic step . jack : in your therapy ? sharon : i underwent electroconvulsive therapy . jack : what ? sharon : and before you say anything , it 's not as archaic as it used to be , and it seems to have worked . jack : wow . i -- well , i 'm glad to hear that . sharon : but , there are some side - effects , and one of them is that my memory has been wiped out , and i do n't know if it will ever come back . so phyllis ' accident , for example -- even though i do n't remember it , um , i have been told about it . jack : wow , i wish i could forget it . sharon : so , i just wanted you to know that , though i have no recollection of it , my heart does go out to you and to phyllis . i hope she gets well soon . jack : okay , i 'm gon na go out on a limb here and guess that you do n't remember the nature of your relationship with phyllis . sharon : i know we were n't the best of friends . jack : oh , that is putting it mildly . sharon : [ sighs ] well , still -- you know , i hope she recovers , not only for her sake but for summer 's , and for you . jack : well , thanks . i have n't given up . i ca n't . [ sighs ] i already lost too much . sharon : and you lost adam . jack : yeah , we both lost a good friend there . sharon : i 'm surprised that no one 's planned a memorial for him . jack : you know what ? his death impacted a lot of people , but i do n't think everyone felt about adam as we did . sharon : well , victor , you would think , at least would 've done something for his son . jack : yeah , particularly if nikki is right , and adam 's death has caused victor to change in some giant way . nick : tell me who you 're afraid of . cassie : i 've said too much already . nick : you just told me that someone tried to get you to drive sharon crazy . if you think i 'm gon na let that go , then you 're the one losing your mind . cassie : you ca n't make me talk . nick : i already have . you said `` he . `` it 's someone who has a pretty serious grudge against sharon . to hurt her like this . cassie : [ scoffs ] whatever you say , sherlock . nick : he knew cassie . he has access to family photos . he got you on the ranch . security guys are loyal . they would n't take a bribe , and you got past them . and he 's got money , 'cause he tried to pay you off . there 's only one person that could 've done this . sharon : do you really think nikki is right -- that victor 's turned over a new leaf ? jack : eh , i think he 's putting on a good show . certainly did tonight . i mean , he did n't give tyler a hard time . he was pretty decent with you , was n't he ? sharon : i guess you could call it that , though he made it very clear that he has n't forgiven or forgotten any of the things that i have done to him , even though i was n't well . jack : for a guy who 's been through as much as he 's been through with nikki , you 'd think he 'd be the first one to understand a person with emotional problems . sharon : mm - hmm . well , victor 's on your side until he 's not . still , i think i saw a dent in the armor tonight . jack : oh ? sharon : yes , his attacks against me used to be about revenge and about making me pay for what i had done to him and his family . jack : and now ? sharon : now i think he just seems concerned about nicholas , which i guess i ca n't blame him for . i mean , what parent would n't want the best for their child ? jack : wow , you almost make him sound human . sharon : i just do n't want to waste any more time hating victor , or anyone , for that matter . i hope victor feels the same way . jack : well , i suppose it 's possible that adam 's death caused victor to have a whole new point of view . who knows ? maybe a loss that devastating could cause him to grow a conscience . nikki : i could get used to this . victor : get used to what ? nikki : a kinder , gentler victor . victor : but , baby , i 'm always kind and gentle with you . nikki : i know . always with me , but now you 're going the extra mile with other people -- victor : mm - hmm . nikki : -- including nicholas . i know how much he appreciated you letting him bring sharon tonight . victor : you know how much i hate to be at odds with our son . nikki : he loves you very much , no matter how upset he may get with you . i could see that tonight . victor : he has your heart , my baby . nikki : and yours -- loyal and brave . victor : you know what i wanted to tell you ? nikki : what ? victor : how much i appreciate you always having supported me . you 've always been loyal to me . i want to thank you for that . nikki : darling , you do n't have to thank me for living up to the vows we said on our wedding day . victor : oh ! well , in that case , i 'll take back what i had arranged for you . nikki : no ! do n't you dare . victor : oh , yeah ? nick : it was my dad , was n't it ? it was victor newman . cassie : no . nick : you 're lying . who else could it be ? cassie : wow . you know , it 's really sad that you 'd think that your dad could do something like this . nick : i do n't want to believe it , but i have to . who else would hate sharon this much ? who else has access to family photos , to the ranch ? cassie : i told you , i did all of that myself ! nick : look , i get that you 're scared , but trust me -- you are not the first person my dad has put the fear of god into . but he is not gon na kill you . i need you to tell me the truth . did my dad do this ? cassie : [ sighs ] [ voice breaking ] you do n't understand . there is just so much more to this than you know . nick : like what ? cassie : it 's complicated . nick : then explain it to me . help me understand why my dad would want you to torture sharon like this . cassie : i ca n't . i 'm sorry . nick : you know , you keep saying that . you keep saying that you 're sorry , that you regret pushing sharon to the brink where she almost lost her mind . cassie : i do ! i really , really do ! sharon loved cassie , and it 's ovious what losing her did to sharon . nick : it nearly destroyed us both . cassie : and i am sorry about that . i am so , so sorry that you had to go through that , and i 'm sorry for bringing up all of this pain again . nick : okay . if you mean that , if you truly mean that , then please tell me the truth and answer the question . [ voice breaking ] did my dad put you up to this ? cassie : yes . billy : [ chuckles ] are you seriously asking me why i was at chelsea 's place after that little `` fashion show `` you put on for me earlier ? victoria : it was just a question . billy : you know , i got a question for you . i mean , what are you and dr. crew- cut doing here instead of being on your hot date you got all dressed up for ? uh , you know what ? i 'm not asking , 'cause we 're separated , as in separate lives . you do what you want , and i 'll do what i want . victoria : fine . chelsea seemed pretty shaken up . billy : yeah , connor 's cough seems pretty nasty . victoria : do you think he actually swallowed a button ? billy : i do n't know . i mean , one minute , your kid 's fine and healthy , and the next , uh -- victoria : do n't worry , okay ? i 'm sure you got him here in plenty of time . billy : yeah , i hope so . victoria : hey , he 's in the best possible hands right now . billy : oh , you mean with stitch ? victoria : billy , listen . billy : uh , uh , it 's okay . all right ? i know you did n't mean anything by it . um , i guess we just ca n't stop hurting each other these days , right ? victoria : i do n't know . just [ footsteps ] billy : is he okay ? stitch : yeah , no obstruction in his airway . just a bad case of croup . victoria : oh , thank god . i mean , i 'm glad it was n't anything worse . chelsea : me , too . thank you for being a sane , rational adult when i was n't . billy : um , no one 's ever accused me of that before . chelsea : [ sighs ] i do n't know what connor and i would 've done without you . i know , baby . i know . jack : just got a phone call from rick forrester . they 're getting as many new orders as we are . neil : aha . yeah , that 's one of the reasons i came by -- to update you on the quarterly sales right here . jack : we could 've done this tomorrow . neil : well , there 's something to be said about getting together in person outside the office , now , is n't there ? jack : yeah , particularly if you want to talk about something other than work , like ... maybe you and leslie ? neil : no . no , thanks . nothing to talk about there . jack : have you heard from her ? neil : we ran into each other . about the quarterly sales -- jack : oh , oh , hold on . i 'm gon na do for you what you 've been doing for me for quite a while now . neil : what 's that , jack -- let you win on , uh , hoops ? jack : have a seat . neil : [ chuckles ] jack : no , i 'm gon na lend you an ear and a shoulder , if you need one . neil : appreciate the shoulder , but i 'm not gon na cry . no . um , jack , i just do n't understand what happened here . i mean , one day , we 're engaged , and the next , she 's married to some total stranger . jack : got to be rough . neil : yeah . maybe if i had n't been so insistent on getting married , she would 've come around eventually . jack : you may not want to hear this , but have you ever ... [ sighs ] ... considered that maybe if she can move on this easily with her life , the two of you did n't have much of a future together anyway ? neil : oh - ho - ho . i see . it 's the jack attack , right ? yeah . jack : no . neil : this is your way of making me feel better . jack : no , this is my way of telling you maybe you 're lucky you never married leslie . neil : it 's funny . you sound a lot like hilary . jack : hilary ? what 's she got to do with this ? neil : well , she said something very similar . she used the word `` lucky . `` jack : what -- you talk with her about something like this ? neil : yeah . you sound surprised , jack . jack : i did n't realize you two were that close . leslie : oh , i 'm glad you came over . i wanted to , uh , i wanted to thank you . hilary : mm . thank me . leslie : yeah , for trying to stop neil from making a scene . girl , he just ca n't keep doing that , you know ? i just need him to understand that -- hilary : he needs to understand ?

brooke : i was just trying to get eric to open his eyes , and i think he sees clearly now . quinn : oh . eric knows exactly who i am . he knows exactly who you are , too . i mean , you can see what she 's doing , right ? i mean , this is n't the first time that brooke has played the victim . she 's snowing you all over again . she 's vilifying me when she 's the one who came in here , attacked me , attacked my friend , and attacked our marriage . eric : i think brooke feels betrayed by the two of you . quinn : oh . are you kidding me ? she was ordering you around , demanding that you -- you throw shauna out . i heard everything , eric , and it hurt me . she should n't have the right to disrespect me like that . but fine . do you want me to apologize to her ? okay . brooke , i am so sorry that your marriage is ending . i 'm so sorry that you refuse to forgive ridge 's son to the point where he 's so disillusioned that he turned to shauna for some comfort and understanding . brooke : she threw herself at him ! shauna : i was n't throwing myself at him . quinn : oh , man . shauna : we spent more time talking about his son and you than anything else . he needed someone to listen to him because his wife wouldn't . quinn : you have the gall to point your fingers at us and accuse us of trying to end your marriage ? you 're doing a pretty good job of that on your own . eric : all right , stop . you 're better than this , quinn . you 're better than this , too . quinn : [ scoffs ] eric : at least i thought you were . quinn : i was fighting to defend our love . i was fighting to defend our marriage . if you can understand why brooke lashed out at shauna , then surely you can understand why i was so upset . brooke had no right to try and turn you against me and tell you to leave me because she was n't getting her way , and that 's exactly what this is about . brooke wants you so desperately to take her side . but i am your wife , eric . you need to defend me . i 'm leah and that 's me long before wyatt : sally ? you in here ? sally : did someone say my name ? wyatt : um ... sally : what do you think ? wyatt : uh , sally , we should probably ... sally : shh . just ... lock the door . do n't worry . i did not wear this to work today . wyatt : i -- sally : i just thought that we deserved a little fun . wyatt : [ chuckles ] sally : i 've just been so busy lately that we have n't really had an opportunity to see each other , and i wanted to surprise you . wyatt : um ... sally : just wanted to show you how much i 've been missing you and only you . there 's no other man that i 'm thinking about , wyatt . i 'm fully and totally all about you . eric : now is anybody going to apologize for what 's happened here today ? quinn : i already did . brooke : i 'm not going to apologize . those two are trying to destroy my relationship . quinn : you 're already in the process of divorce . shauna : ridge wanted one thing from you , brooke -- to forgive thomas . but you ca n't do it . you refuse to compromise . you do n't even give him an inch . brooke : i do n't need to explain myself to you . my marriage is none of your business . quinn : neither is mine . so why do n't you stay out of it and stop trying to ruin me ? eric : eric , do n't you see what 's happening here ? you know me . we were married . we share children together . i know you care about ridge and me , and i care about you , and i 'm worried about you because of her . quinn : ohh . brooke : her dark , devious side came out today , the one that she 's been trying to hide . it 's still there . quinn : [ scoffs ] brooke : she is still dangerous . quinn : and what about how you have divided this family over the years ? are you gon na take any responsibility for that ? 'cause i 'm not gon na keep standing here in my living room and have you assassinate my character . brooke : you want to hit me again , do n't you ? quinn : oh , my god . shauna : stop taunting her , brooke . that 's not fair . brooke : she 's the one who assaulted me . i was ready to leave , and she came storming in here saying that she is the forrester matriarch . well , she is n't , eric . and she does n't deserve that honor . and she should n't be above the fireplace where stephanie has been all these years . so please take that down . i know you want to believe in her . i do . but she 's not who you think she is . she is the quinn that ca n't be trusted . she is a toxic mess . and they see this as an opportunity . the separation that i have from ridge , they think this is a game . but it 's not a game to me . quinn : wow . i -- i think it 's just so funny that all of a sudden you 're interested in saving your marriage when ridge shows some interest in a beautiful woman . shauna : and for the record , i thought things were basically over . brooke : does n't mean you can put your lips all over him . quinn : brooke , you want to be mad at someone ? take a look in the mirror 'cause you did this to yourself . brooke : eric , you 've got to do something here . they are out to destroy my marriage . they will do anything to make that happen , and they 're gon na hurt you , too . so the best thing that you can do is to get them out of here . send them packing , and especially quinn . go on . tell her . tell her she is no longer your wife .

[ sighs ] and we 've always , like -- we were n't even talking about him . she had no reason to be thinking about him in the first place , but she must have been . otherwise , she would n't have said his name , right ? flo : i do n't know . wyatt : right . whatever it was . look , i 've been there . i 've done that . i 'm not blaming everything on that moment , but ... i mean , does she want my brother ? does she really want him ? am i overreacting ? am i overthinking this ? i just -- [ chuckles ] -- i mean , they do have a history together . i mean , he 's basically had a history with every woman in l.a . flo : not me . you are the only spencer i have ever been interested in . just saying . eric : is that right ? did you hit brooke ? quinn : you 're damn right i did . eric : quinn ! shauna : in quinn 's defense , it was right after brooke slapped me . eric : you slapped shauna ? what 's going on here ? quinn : blame brooke . this is all her fault . i overheard everything , eric -- her threatening me , calling me a puppeteer , saying that i 'm orchestrating the end of her marriage . brooke : you are . quinn : what ? brooke : you should be supporting ridge and me . instead , you 're in cahoots with this one . and if you ever lay your hands on me again , i swear -- eric : all right , look , look , look , i ca n't believe this . i ca n't believe you let this happen . somebody could have been hurt here . quinn : brooke 's the one who got aggressive with us . she 's out of control . she 's the one who let this escalate . eric : all right . all right . that 's enough . now i do n't want to hear it . this is not the way forresters behave , and i certainly do n't expect it of my wife . zoe : yeah , you know , surprise wyatt . plan something fun . sally : yeah . no . you 're right . i -- i ... that 's a perfect idea . in fact , i -- i think that 's exactly what i 'll do . thank you for the suggestion . zoe : yeah , well , it ca n't hurt , and , you know , i 'm sure he 'll really appreciate it . sally : i will make it worth his while . zoe : [ chuckles ] well , i mean , you two both are engaged , and you 're way too cute to grow apart . you know , maybe y ' all just need a little jump start . sally : things just have been a little rough lately , but i think i can find a way to remind wyatt how much he means to me . [ line rings ] [ ring ] wyatt : um ... it 's sally . [ ring ] [ beep ] uh , hey . sally : hi . i was just thinking about how much i missed you . is there any way that you could come by forrester ? i would love to see my gorgeous fiancé . wyatt : um , i wanted to see you , too , actually . sally : awesome . meet me in the design office ?

okay . brooke , i am so sorry that your marriage is ending . i 'm so sorry that you refuse to forgive ridge 's son to the point where he 's so disillusioned that he turned to shauna for some comfort and understanding . brooke : she threw herself at him ! shauna : i was n't throwing myself at him . quinn : oh , man . shauna : we spent more time talking about his son and you than anything else . he needed someone to listen to him because his wife wouldn't . quinn : you have the gall to point your fingers at us and accuse us of trying to end your marriage ? you 're doing a pretty good job of that on your own . eric : all right , stop . you 're better than this , quinn . you 're better than this , too . quinn : [ scoffs ] eric : at least i thought you were . quinn : i was fighting to defend our love . i was fighting to defend our marriage . if you can understand why brooke lashed out at shauna , then surely you can understand why i was so upset . brooke had no right to try and turn you against me and tell you to leave me because she was n't getting her way , and that 's exactly what this is about . brooke wants you so desperately to take her side . but i am your wife , eric . you need to defend me . i 'm leah and that 's me long before wyatt : sally ? you in here ? sally : did someone say my name ? wyatt : um ... sally : what do you think ? wyatt : uh , sally , we should probably ... sally : shh . just ... lock the door . do n't worry . i did not wear this to work today . wyatt : i -- sally : i just thought that we deserved a little fun . wyatt : [ chuckles ] sally : i 've just been so busy lately that we have n't really had an opportunity to see each other , and i wanted to surprise you . wyatt : um ... sally : just wanted to show you how much i 've been missing you and only you . there 's no other man that i 'm thinking about , wyatt . i 'm fully and totally all about you . eric : now is anybody going to apologize for what 's happened here today ? quinn : i already did . brooke : i 'm not going to apologize . those two are trying to destroy my relationship . quinn : you 're already in the process of divorce . shauna : ridge wanted one thing from you , brooke -- to forgive thomas . but you ca n't do it . you refuse to compromise . you do n't even give him an inch . brooke : i do n't need to explain myself to you . my marriage is none of your business . quinn : neither is mine . so why do n't you stay out of it and stop trying to ruin me ? eric : eric , do n't you see what 's happening here ? you know me . we were married . we share children together . i know you care about ridge and me , and i care about you , and i 'm worried about you because of her . quinn : ohh . brooke : her dark , devious side came out today , the one that she 's been trying to hide . it 's still there . quinn : [ scoffs ] brooke : she is still dangerous . quinn : and what about how you have divided this family over the years ?

( scoffs ) whatever that means . [ scene_break ] adam : sharon . is there something i can do for you ? sharon : as i was riding down the elevator , i started wondering , how did you know what the outcome would be ? adam : i did n't . sharon : come on . you did n't drag us all in here if you were n't confident in advance that you would get your way . so i 'll ask you again , how did you know what the outcome would be ? adam : ( tosses folder ) i heard it through the grapevine that someone might change their vote if the ballot were , in fact , secret . sharon : `` through the grapevine `` ? adam : frankly , i do n't give a damn who it was who changed their vote . sharon : no . you would n't , would you ? all that would matter is that you won . adam : it never hurts . but at the end of the day , beauty of nature is being sold now , and i guess you have to go to the big house and tell big daddy the big , bad news . [ scene_break ] billy : ( shivers ) okay . whew . chelsea is all styled out with a space heater now . chelsea : the apartment 's a lot warmer now . thank you . billy : so i saw nikki 's car was gone . victoria : mm - hmm . billy : when 'd she leave ? victoria : a while ago . billy : mm . chelsea : your mother does n't really like me much , does she ? victoria : i think , under the circumstances , you ca n't really blame her . you know how protective mothers can be . chelsea : no , actually , i do n't . ( sighs ) i 've never really lived in a real house before . billy : oh , yeah ? where 'd you grow up ? chelsea : just apartments and trailers , that kind of thing .

( scoffs ) that . michael : pshaw . lauren : pshaw . you know , despite all the craziness that swirls around us , our home life is safe , and it 's good . it might be simple , but i 'm happy . i 'm really grateful for that . michael : who you callin ' simple ? come here . give me one . lauren : hey . mm . not you , definitely . michael : mwah . watch , we 'll scare the children . lauren : oh , definitely . michael : ( laughs ) lauren : ( laughs ) [ scene_break ] phyllis : so , um , what do you think of this ? do you like it ? nick : what , my coffee ? phyllis : no , this is a date . we 're doing a date right now . nick : yep . i mean , it 's cool . its no `` fro yo . `` phyllis : yeah , it 's , uh , not a video game . nick : i propose we spend our next date at the arcade . i 'll bring lots of quarters . phyllis : you are really confident . you actually think there 's gon na be a next date . wow . nick : yes , i do . very optimistic . phyllis : i think it 's the caffeine . nick : ( sighs ) no . avery : ( mouths word ) phyllis : wow , that must have taken a lot for her . nick : you okay ? phyllis : mm - hmm . avery : thought i 'd say hello . nick : uh , i heard you 're helping my mom with her case . i - i really appreciate that . avery : you 're welcome . phyllis : wow , we 're all on the same side for once , are n't we ?

( chuckles ) chelsea : everything 's going great . for smart , rich people , they 're easier to fool than i thought they 'd be . [ scene_break ] ( cell phone rings ) jack : adam . hey , adam . what 's the good news ? adam : the board saw the light . beauty of nature is up for sale . bids are due tonight , just in case you wanted to know . [ scene_break ] adam : even though you 're going to lose . [ scene_break ] genevieve : tonight ? jack : works for me . beauty of nature will be mine tomorrow . my bid is prepped and ready to go . genevieve : jack , you could still be outbid , you know . jack : it ai n't gon na happen . here 's why . genevieve : oh , my god . jack , that 's an awful lot of money . the company is n't worth that much . jack : it is to me . [ scene_break ] nikki : victor is keeping something from me . i 'm sure of it . kay : still ? nikki : i ask him a question , he does n't answer me . it 's infuriating . kay : ( stammers ) do you suppose he will never , ever learn ? nikki : probably not . i just hope to god he knows what he 's doing . [ scene_break ] boylan : agent boylan , securities and exchange commission . tucker : adam took the bait . it 's on . [ next_on ] jack : you got a bank statement from your bank in the cayman islands . why did n't you tell me about this ? sharon : i do n't think you 're being honest with me . are you setting adam up ? nick : i have no idea why dad and sharon are staying married . michael : it 's not what you think .
nikki tells deacon she wo n't be bailing him out of jail , and she is getting an annulment of their marriage . adam calls an emergency meeting of the newman enterprises board in order to have them cast secret votes about the sale of beauty of nature . sharon votes for the sale just as victor told her to do . when lauren confronts her about her vote , she claims she did n't go against victor 's wishes . sharon goes to the jail and sees two men coming out of the visiting room . when she asks victor about the men , he tells her she should n't worry ; it is just business . genevieve tries to ask jack to help her make final decisions about the wedding . he tells her he will talk to her about that later , because he is too busy thinking about his bid for beauty of nature . genevieve gets two phone calls that worry her very much , but she does n't discuss them with jack . jack shows genevieve the huge offer he plans to make to buy beauty of nature .
<s>[INST] victoria : did you sleep well ? chelsea : very . victoria : well , um , i 'm gon na be going to the store later to get some groceries . what do you eat ? chelsea : um , whatever you think is best . healthy stuff for the baby . victoria : so , um , no more burgers and beer ? chelsea : i know this is n't easy for you , victoria ... a constant reminder that your husband and i -- victoria : we were separated at the time . chelsea : i ... ( sighs ) anyway , i 've never been pregnant before , and i 've decided i want to make sure that i do this right , take excellent care of myself and this baby , but i need your help . i know if i was doing this on my own , i would be making tons and tons of mistakes , so i guess what i 'm trying to say is , thank you for taking me in . victoria : like i 'm gon na trust one word that you say . [ scene_break ] billy : shoot in the face -- that was my first thought . phyllis : thank you . you expected victor to spend the rest of his life in prison ? billy : ( sighs ) hoping was more like it , after everything he did to vicki and me . phyllis : which time ? billy : exactly . now look , everybody 's buzzing about this story we need to find out exactly what led to nikki killing diane in self - defense , and how that prompted victor 's apparent bogus confession . phyllis : okay , i assume you want us to also include how deacon took advantage of the situation in his own inimitable , sleazy way . billy : very nice word and hell yes , i want all the dirt , every atom . phyllis : are n't you glad that you hired me back ? billy : ( clears throat ) phyllis : ( mouths word ) are you leaving now ? billy : yeah . uh , there 's a family situation that i need to tend to . i 'm gon na leave everything in your very capable hands . phyllis : yes , it 's very capable , very capable . nick : hey , man . how 's it goin ' ? billy : hey . nick : how 's vick doin ' ? billy : hey , um , you know , she 's hangin ' in . nick : well , keep the faith , right ? billy : we are doing our level best . thanks . phyllis : hey . nick : i just came to check up on you . phyllis : why ? you do n't trust me ? nick : i know you . phyllis : i made a promise to you and your mother that whatever she said to me in confidence , i would n't print . nick : and that 's killing you , i 'm guessing . phyllis : billy wants me all over this story , but i made a promise to you , and i 'm keeping it . [ scene_break ] michael : oh , all right . um , that 's the end of the footage . avery : that 's textbook self - defense . michael : one would think , but victor confessed . uh , we 're over here . avery : because he thought that one ex - wife killed the other . michael : oh , well , at the time , he had reason to think that . avery : ( sighs ) you know , a lot of people would love to see their ex facing a life sentence . not these newmans , even after divorce . they do n't let it go . michael : ( laughs ) you got a point . look , um , meanwhile , i 'm gon na push for habeas corpus and get victor released . i need you to make sure that nikki is not charged with this murder . avery : well , from what i can see , there 's only one person guilty of a crime . [ scene_break ] deacon : i knew you 'd come . ( sighs ) nikki : did you ? deacon : look , i - i can explain this -- this whole thing , all right ? did you post my bail ? [ scene_break ] kay : you are getting out of here soon , i hope . victor : michael baldwin is working on it as we speak . kay : uh , you know , i - i do n't know if i want to kiss you for what you did for nikki ... or rap you right up aside the head . [ scene_break ] lauren : oh , davis , good morning . did you get that same e - mail from adam requesting another mandatory board meeting ? do you have any idea what that 's about ? davis : i hear he wants to take another vote . lauren : ( stammers ) on beauty of nature ? but that 's ridiculous . what is one day gon na change ? davis : i guess we 'll find out when we get there . lauren : ( sighs ) yeah , okay . i 'll be right behind you . i 'm just getting my coffee . i think i 'm gon na need it . jack : hello , lauren . lauren : jack . jack : i understand there was a stalemate on beauty of nature . lauren : yes , the sale was tabled by the newman board . jack : well , i guess no one else can buy it , either , though knowing adam , he 'll probably take another stab at , uh , trying to sell it . lauren : maybe sooner than you think . adam 's reconvening the board in about five minutes . rumor has it that the issue is going to a second vote . why , i have no idea . jack : who knows what goes on in adam 's fevered brain ? lauren : mm . is n't that the truth ? all right , well , i 'm on my way to newman , and you have a wonderful day . jack : you , too . lauren : thank you . [ scene_break ] genevieve : yes , i do realize that the wedding is next week . yeah , okay . okay , look , i promise you that i will e - mail you later today with all of our final music selections . i just need to pin jack down long enough to get some answers . he -- he 's been really preoccupied with business lately . yeah . alicia ? alicia , i 'm getting another call . i - i will call you back , okay i will . thanks . ( sighs ) hello ? really ? that is very interesting . keep me posted , will you ? [ scene_break ] ( elevator bell dings ) sharon : what 's going on ? tucker : uh , i do n't have a clue . he summoned us all here for another meeting , as far as i can tell . sharon : adam did n't say anything to you ? it seems like the two of you had something going on when i walked into the office yesterday . tucker : look , i 'm a member of the board . he 's chairman and c.e.o . is there something unusual about us having a conversation ? sharon : i also know you went to see victor . tucker : just business . nothing for you to worry about . we should go in . adam : single digits is amazing . good morning . you can help yourselves to some coffee and juice . tucker : thanks . adam : mm - hmm . we 're still waiting on lauren and davis holloway , so just make yourselves comfortable . well , speak of the devil , on cue . we have beverages , if you 're so inclined . lauren : i 'd just as soon get down to business . adam : fair enough . everyone , join me around the table here . just like yesterday , we have a single item on the agenda , and that is a vote for the sale of beauty of nature . lauren : and why are we doing this ? we 're deadlocked . adam : mm - hmm , and it occurred to me that someone might change his or her vote if the ballot were secret . [ scene_break ] kay : ohh , when i think of the length that you and nikki went to protect each other ... victor : i did what i thought was best . kay : including marrying your daughter - in - law ? uh , as i told nikki , if the two of you could have only been open and honest with one another , none of this -- none of this would have been necessary . and i pray to god it -- it 's going to teach you to stop playing games ... and messing around with people 's lives . [ scene_break ] adam : per article 8 , paragraph 6 of the bylaws , it is perfectly allowable to have a secondary secret ballot vote . davis : secret or not , my vote wo n't change . bob : neither will mine . lauren : ( scoffs ) this is an absurd waste of the board 's time . ( sighs ) adam : if , after the secret ballot voting is tabulated , we are still deadlocked , i will rescind the motion to sell beauty of nature . becca . she 'll be handing out ballots to you now . if you could , mark it , fold it , and hand it back to my secretary , please . [ scene_break ] nikki : now let me see if i have this straight -- you blackmailed me , you threatened me , you lied to me on numerous occasions after destroying my sobriety , and now you want me to bail you out of jail . ( laughs ) i mean , that -- that 's almost funny . deacon : come on , nikki . you 're making this sound a lot worse than it is . please , just -- just let me explain to you ... nikki : no . deacon : if i can tell you -- nikki : i will explain that the only thing you 're gon na get from me are annulment papers . deacon : still need me , nikki . i could help you . i can ... ( exhales quickly ) i was the only eyewitness , all right ? i can testify for you . i could help you fill in the blanks , because we both know that you do n't remember everything , but i ca n't do anything as long as i 'm in here . nikki : an eyewitness of your character ? i do n't think so . i 'll take my chances . deacon : baby , you 're making a mistake . nikki : no , the only mistake that i made was in trusting you and doubting myself and my family . never again . we 're through . ( knocks on door ) [ scene_break ] phyllis : here you go . be forewarned , i made this myself . nick : ahh . any crayons in it ? phyllis : mnh - mnh , not in this pot . nick : it 's kind of a skeleton crew . where is everyone ? phyllis : uh , everybody is out covering the story . they are working on their sources . i told them to be extra ... careful . nick : but i have nothing to be worried about , right , for my mom 's sake ? phyllis : ( sighs ) i can not quash what they find . i ca n't ethically do that , but i am not going to write any of the details that nikki told us . nick : yeah , sorry . you already told me that , and here i am questioning you again . phyllis : yeah . i understand . it 's a sensitive subject . i get it . nick : there would n't even be a story , or proof that my dad was innocent , if you had n't cracked the password and pulled up the video file of deacon and diane . that 's what led us to the truth . cops owe you . my parents owe you . i owe you . i 'm sorry that i ever doubted you , and i 'm even more sorry that i ever gave you any reason to doubt me . [ scene_break ] victor : i seem to recall a time recently when you withheld information from someone because you thought that would protect them . kay : all right , if you 're talking about devon , yes , i regret handling things the way i did with him . victor : okay . kay : but as for you , you not only wreaked havoc with a murder investigation , but you still have that ... that victoria / billy fiasco to answer to . victor : katherine , i 'm a father who loves his daughter and did n't want her to get involved with a useless son of a bitch like billy abbott . kay : oh , come on . every time i try and make sense of you , you come back at me with something -- michael : oh , katherine , i 'm sorry . they did n't tell us you were here . avery : we can wait outside . kay : no , no . no , no . please , no . victor : no , come in . kay : well , i 'm sure you have much more important things to talk to him about . uh , next time i see you , i hope we 're both in the same room so we can really duke it out . victor : look forward to it . kay : get out of here .

harley : i do n't know , and i do n't care . josh : hello , alan . you have n't seen cassie , by any chance , have you ? alan : is there a reason she would be stalking to me today . i was n't expecting any bad news . josh : have you seen her or not ? alan : you were n't here , josh , when i found out that beth was not carrying my child . well , cassie practically was doing cartwheels . josh : look , cassie is always going to blame you for tammy 's death , and for good reason , but to suggest ... alan : it made her day , josh . you know , she 's not the same cassie we used to know . and let me give you a piece of advice : when you find her , do n't cross her . natalia : i 'm natalia rivera . i need to see rafael rivera . juvie officer : you 're not on the list . natalia : yeah . i squeezed in an hour between shifts . because i do n't get off work until visiting hours or over , so i could see ... rafe : mom what are you doing here ? hey , get off me , man . juvie officer : ten minutes . natalia : thank you . cassie : hit me again , reva . keep hitting me until you feel better about sleeping with josh . because lord knows , it 's all about your feelings ! reva : you 're out of control now . cassie : no ! you 're the one who could n't control herself ! reva : those prison visits were your idea , yours ! cassie : yes , you keep saying that as if i gave you permission . as if i said , reva , will you please check on josh . and if it helps , why do n't you just do him while you are in there . reva : that 's not what it was . cassie : it is a huge leap from visiting someone to sleeping with someone . reva : you begged me to go to him the first time ! and then you begged me to go back and see him again . cassie : yes , i did . i did . to keep him company . to cheer him up . to give him notes from me . reva : i told you i did n't want to go . i said no , because i knew that ... cassie : you knew this would happen ? reva : i knew how hard this was going to be on me ! cassie : h 'm mm , yeah , so you admit it that this was n't some spontaneous thing ... cassie : ... you took advantage of the situation . reva : you wanted me to make sure that josh was all right . cassie : you know , harley warned me . she tried to warn me . reva : cassie , am so sorry . i am so sorry that i said anything because i thought josh had told you . and i 'm sorry you 're hurting right now . cassie : but you 're not sorry you slept with him . you wanted him . you still do . and you 're not sorry . reva : what do you want me to say ? alan : oh , i thought i was having a bad day . josh : cassie ? hello ? okay . reva , it 's josh . listen , call me back when you get this , all right ? i 'm looking for cassie . i tried the house , i tried her cell ... cassie : hi . josh : hi . cassie : sorry i 'm late . find your light , sponsored by nice and easy , with a blend of three tones for ultimate , natural - looking color . remy : my light is my relationship with god . he 's been my father , my brother , my best friend . whenever i was down , i thought i could n't move on or get up during the day , i flow i can always call on him , and he has always been there . he 's given me a great family , he 's given me a house , he 's given me a great job . so god is my light . what 's yours ?

or did you want to be the one to give the crushing blow ? reva : i thought josh ... alan : do n't , do n't ruin it for me . you have renewed my faith in human nature , and survival of the fittest , in taking no prisoners . actually , you did take prisoner , did n't you ? reva : i 'm leaving . alan : me , too . i know what i have to do now , reva . and i think you do , too . cassie : well , those are really beautiful . you went all out . josh : yeah , well , i want this to be a special time for us , you know . a time to celebrate our future and to talk about the things that have brought us here . but , um , cassie , there is also something i want to talk to you about . cassie : have you tried any champagne yet ?

natalia : i was n't sneaking out . i am between shifts . remy : i was a cop before i worked construction , okay . i know what sneaking out looks like . natalia : you 're not a cop anymore . remy : natalia , i 'm here as a friend . natalia : i do n't owe you any explanations just because you tried to kiss me . remy : look , you had a kid . what 's the big deal ? okay , right , it is a big deal . but it 's not like you 're the only single mom in this world . if you 're worried about your son being here , i can ... natalia : no , my son is a good boy , and i 'm getting him out of here . remy : i was going to say that not all of the kids here are bad . natalia : well , he has n't had it easy . remy : neither have you . natalia : no . we 've done okay , all on our own . remy : yeah , i can see that . so where 's the father ? natalia : he 's never been in the picture . he is a selfish jerk , and he disappeared when i found out i was pregnant . remy : do you know where he is ? natalia : chicago . look , if you 're going to be my friend , you have got to back off . thank you . excuse me , i forgot to give my son something . it will just take a second . i just want to see my son for one second . rafe : mom , you okay ? juvie officer : hey , where do you think you 're going ? rafe : get off of me ! ( both shouting ) cassie : so , are you cassie : so , are you disappointed that reva spoiled the surprise when you worked so hard to keep it from me ? josh : cassie , there were so many times that i wanted to tell you . cassie : so what happened ? josh : at the prison ? cassie : no . i mean what happened all those times you wanted to tell me ? josh : maybe i was afraid . maybe i was trying to protect you in some way . you 'd just been so focused on getting back at alan spaulding , and you had n't gotten over tammy 's death yet . cassie : so it 's my fault that you did n't tell me . josh : no , no , no . cassie : that 's really funny ! because you know , reva tried to put it on me , too . she said that , well , you know , i had sent her to you . josh : listen to me , please . cassie : but you know what ? i 'm not sure i 'm ever really going to get over my daughter 's death . so if there is anything else you 're waiting to tell me ... josh : cassie , just ... cassie : you just , you think i ca n't handle it . you think that i 'm too fragile . that i 'm unstable . is that your excuse ? josh : i 'm not trying to make excuses , all right . for , for not telling you or for what happened between me and reva . cassie : what happened is you slept with her ! josh : cassie , it was one night . it had nothing to do with our future . cassie : nothing ? josh : it had nothing to do with us . cassie : it had nothing , right . it does n't matter . it does n't count because it was with reva ? josh : cassie , i understand that you 're angry , and i know that you 're upset right now , and it is killing me to think that it is because of me . but think of the circumstances , please . cassie : oh , oh , yeah , you mean like how you were in jail to protect me , even though i never asked you to . in fact , i begged you not to . josh : it was my choice , and i made the choice because i love you . cassie : yeah . a choice , like reva made the choice to not tell us about her cancer . like you both chose not to tell me about this . well , when do i get to choose , josh ? when do i get a choice ? josh : cassie , i had no hope because all i could think about was the future without you . cassie : don't . josh : i was facing solitary confinement . i was getting the daylights beaten out of me by salerno 's guys on a regular basis , cassie . it was messed up , okay . it made me feel worthless because there was no light at the end of the tunnel . there was no prize at the end . there was no you , cassie . i had no hope . i had nothing . cassie : except for reva . you had her . josh : one night . cassie : that 's all it takes , josh . that 's all it takes to change somebody 's world . less even . it just takes seconds . the second that tammy took her last breaths , just like that . just like that . and you ca n't go back . josh : i do n't want to go back . i want for us to go forward . there are a million seconds ahead of us . there 's a future ahead of us , cassie . please tell me that there is some way i can make this up to you . please tell me there is some way we can put this behind us . you just said , `` when do you get a choice ? `` this is it , cassie . it 's now . you get a choice now . and i 'm asking you , choose us , please . cassie : i did . i did , josh . i chose us . and it still was n't enough for you . and it never will be as long as reva is still in your heart . josh : she 's not , cassie . cassie : do n't say she 's not ! josh : cassie . cassie ! juvie guard : wait . get back ! natalia : wait ! do n't hurt him . do n't hurt him . rafe : let go of me ! natalia : i just want to give him this . i just want to give him ... gus : what is that ? daisy : what ? gus : is that a constant thing ? is there a lot of fighting around here ? daisy : yeah , there is always something going on . that 's what happens when you put a bunch of angry , messed - up kids in the same place . gus : h 'm mm . daisy : do n't worry , i 'll protect you . it 's one of the new guys . natalia : we 're just saying good - bye . gus : come here . i 'm signing back in daisy lemay . natalia : is there another way to get out of here ? rafe : no , why ? natalia : nothing . i 've got to go , okay ? you call me later . i love you . rafe : i love you , ma . remy : gus ... cassie : to true love . ( cries ) ( cries ) [ next_on ] reva : i understand you 're angry . josh : you have no idea . remy : you 've got a kid in juvie that 's gus aitoro 's son . natalia : neither of them knows about the other . remy : that 's why you came to springfield , to break the news ? reva : i was trying to make things right . josh : i do n't think things will ever be right again . daisy : your secret is safe with me . josh : you did this to get cassie out of my life !

josh : yeah . reva : what josh and i did , it was n't meant to hurt you . i hope you know that . cassie : what you did ? reva : he was in prison , cassie . he was sad and he was angry , and he needed comfort . he needed a connection . i needed it , too . but when i went there , i never thought that we were going to end up making love . it just happened . cassie : you and josh ... reva : he tried to push me away , but he needed me . and he was giving up , and that scared me . and it just -- i mean , i 'm sure josh explained it to you . cassie : no , actually , reva , no . he forgot to mention that he cheated on me with my sister . captioning sponsored by procter & gamble productions , inc . and cbs family destiny light hope charity friendship love faith laughter joy kindness understanding peace forgiveness happiness there is a destiny that makes us brothers . none goes his way alone . all that we send into the lives of others ... ... comes back ... ... into our own . daisy : okay , so how does this thing work ? am i going to get zapped by something ? gus : no . it 's an m.r.i . machine . daisy : so . i mean , gus , it 's going to be taking pictures of my insides . it 's got to have some pretty powerful juices in there , right ? harley : they 're magnets . daisy : magnets ? harley : it uses magnets and radio waves . daisy : how do you know that ? harley : i looked it up on the internet . gus : you 're so smart . harley : thank you . do you think i would let them do something to you that would probably hurt my little girl , do you ? daisy : well , you did put me in juvie hall and i wound up like this . and , you know , i 'm claustrophobic , like my dad so what if i just ... harley : you are not claustrophobic . daisy : okay , i 'm not . but i hate these machines . because , like , when lizzie was sick and i used to visit her . i got all nervous and sweaty and ... harley : i remember . m.r.i . nurse : you 've got nothing to worry about , ms . lemay . harley : listen , could i talk to you outside , for a second ? um , i want her to be comfortable and relaxed . so i want you to pipe in some music for her . but , more importantly , i want to sit in the booth with the technician to see if she starts to panic . i can talk her out of it . m.r.i . nurse : it 's not allowed . harley : you know , i 'm the kind of person who going to go over your head if you do n't help me . and that 's not just because i 'm the cop assigned to her ; it 's because i 'm her mother . so , please ... do you have the music cd ? gus : oh , yeah . ooom - chica - oom - chica - oom - chica . daisy : what 's that for ? harley : the machine can get really loud , and you ca n't move at all . so we made a music mix to help you , you know , get through it . while you 're in there , you can listen to it and relax . daisy : you went through all my music ? harley : well , i know you do n't like it when i go on your computer , but we just ... daisy : oh , no , no , no . i meant it like , you went through all of my music , that 's wow , good . the music mix , yeah . harley : good . because i also brought you this . tah - dah . you know , for you to hold while you 're in there . daisy : thank you . harley : is n't it cute and silly . and you 're way too old for this . i should probably just give this to jude . daisy : oh , no , no . i 'll bring it with me . harley : really ? daisy : yeah , well , they probably wo n't allow it . sounds like they do n't allow a lot of things , so ... harley : oh , you heard my conversation with the nurse ? daisy : yeah . i had a few like this when i was little . there was a ballerina bear , princess bear , my mom and dad used to get me one every christmas . it was part of a set , but ... it was you who sent them ? alan : i want every lab technician in this hospital interviewed . and i want my child 's dna test checked and re - checked , and that goes for you , too , nurse judy . gus : i thought you found your light . alan : what ? gus : you helped me with daisy . alan : how is she doing ? gus : good . she 's going to have an m.r.i . so whoever you called , whatever you did , it was really helpful . alan : you 're welcome . gus : you know , scaring all of the doctors and nurses , that ai n't going to make beth 's baby yours , so ... alan : i 'm aware of that , gus . gus : like the guy in the hotel room , he was a very nice man . alan : he was also a very weak man . gus : maybe you 're just hurt because the kid ai n't yours . alan : daisy 's not yours , either . gus : this ai n't a competition , dad . those three kids , jude , zach , daisy , it 's the closest thing i 'll ever come to having my own kids . you know , i do n't want to think about the things i do n't have . i like to think about the things i do have , and i have a lot of good things , now . alan : yeah . natalia : i thought you had to go back to work ? remy : is that your way of telling me the kiss was n't that good ? natalia : the kiss was ... you should go back to work before you get fired . remy : well , he 's not my boss anymore , so a ... when you getting off today ? natalia : you should worry about your own job . remy : have you tried calling alan ? josh : why would i do that ? cassie is not going after alan anymore , okay ? remy : sometimes people have a hardime forgiving other people . i mean , i know , i 'm like that . josh : i think i know her better than you do . she 's not doing that anymore . i 'll see you around , okay ? josh : wanda , it 's josh . do me a favor , will you please ? track down alan spaulding for me . cassie : it just happened ? reva , you 've been planning this for weeks . reva : cassie ... cassie : you told him you loved him , and he still picked me over you . and you could n't handle it . reva : i did n't know ... cassie : that 's not the way you thought it was going to go , is it ? reva : i did n't go there planning to sleep with him . cassie : you are a liar ! reva : let 's just go some place private where we can talk about this . cassie : oh , reva , come on ! you love an audience ! what , are you ashamed ? are you ashamed that you went after your sister 's fiancee in prison ? where he literally had no escape . reva : it was n't just me in that bed ! now let 's go . cassie : no , reva . i 'm not going anywhere . i do n't have anything to be embarrassed about . i did n't do anything wrong . reva : you want to talk to me about right and wrong ? cassie : what ? reva : you know what 's wrong , cassie . is that you ever let him go to prison for you in the first place . cassie : oh , you 're going to put this on me ? of course you are ! of course you are ! it 's my fault you slept with him ! reva : i take full responsibility for what happened . cassie : well , then do n't just tell me ! tell everybody ! tell everybody that reva shayne , who raises money for cancer charities , who went from slut to the saint of springfield , went behind my back to sleep with the man i love . reva : you sent me to him . cassie : no , you sent him to me . you keep forgetting that . reva : i will never forget the time i spent with cancer . cassie : we held off , reva . we pushed each other away as long as we could out of respect for you . but we fell in love . we built a life , a life without you in it , because we did n't think you were going to be here . neither did you . here you are , and you just want to take it all back . as if , as if it 's all up to you . as if josh and i have no free will of our own . as if we 're only together because you told us to be . reva : i thought it was dying . and i was preparing you . i fought a long time alone to protect the two of you . cassie : oh , please . reva : do you think i wanted this to happen ! ? cassie : yes , reva , i do . i think you always get what you want . and even when you do n't , you take it anyway . reva : we never wanted to hurt you . cassie : do n't you dare speak for him . god , i ... i actually was worried about your feelings . i actually felt guilty for loving your ex - husband . and you do n't even care . you do n't even care that you slept with him . you 're not even sorry . reva : i 'm sorry you had to find out this way . cassie : how did you do it ? reva , what did you do ? you packed up your little red dress and you , i do n't know , you snuck in a six - pack of beer ? reva : it was bourbon . cassie : it was bourbon . `` oh , cassie , i did n't plan it . oh , no , it just happened . `` reva : stop it . cassie : gosh , i wish i had a glass of that right now . i 'd raise it to you , reva ! congratulations ! you did it ! you took josh right out from under me ! i hope you 're proud of yourself now . harley : you know , you ca n't find these guys everywhere . and then i 'd have to say to myself , okay , how old is susan now ? is she into princesses still ? or does she like unicorns ? does she still listen to boy bands ? daisy : i loved the boy band bear , not that i listen to them anymore . harley : right . i mean , we thought about putting them on the music mix , but then , no . daisy : why did n't you send a card ? harley : a card ? daisy : yes , so i knew that the bears were from you ? harley : oh , no , no , no . i told your mom and dad i did n't want you to know . daisy : why ? harley : you were so little , and i did n't want to confuse you or upset you . daisy : i do n't know , maybe i 'd end up like one of those screwed up kids in juvie . harley : okay , in retrospect , i need to re - think that . and i 'd do things differently , of course , but ... daisy : oh , yeah . me too . but you ca n't go back . harley : then we should maybe try harder . mri nurse : it 's time for daisy 's m.r.i . harley : you ready ? daisy : ready . gus : i do n't think this is all about flesh and blood . because if it was , i 'd be your favorite . i 'm charming . or maybe alan - michael . but that 's not true because you hate both of us . ( laughs ) alan : i do n't hate you , gus . gus : but you do n't like us very much . alan : well , if you were a little more like ... gus : yourself . that 's what you were going to say , right ? that 's why i think that phillip was always your favorite son , because he had the biggest potential to be just like you . alan : and is daisy just like you ? does she remind you of yourself ? gus : maybe . harley : hey . gus : girls , ready to do this ? harley : apparently they 're ready for the m.r.i . gus : oh , perfect . alright , come on , limpy . alan : daisy . do n't let your stepdad become a stranger . daisy : ah , okay . what 's he talking about ? harley : i do n't know , and i do n't care . josh : hello , alan . you have n't seen cassie , by any chance , have you ? alan : is there a reason she would be stalking to me today . i was n't expecting any bad news . josh : have you seen her or not ? alan : you were n't here , josh , when i found out that beth was not carrying my child . well , cassie practically was doing cartwheels . josh : look , cassie is always going to blame you for tammy 's death , and for good reason , but to suggest ... alan : it made her day , josh . you know , she 's not the same cassie we used to know . and let me give you a piece of advice : when you find her , do n't cross her . natalia : i 'm natalia rivera . i need to see rafael rivera . juvie officer : you 're not on the list . natalia : yeah . i squeezed in an hour between shifts . because i do n't get off work until visiting hours or over , so i could see ... rafe : mom what are you doing here ?

carly : [ muffled ] luke ! luke ! luke : caroline ? scott : all right , you want a warrant ? you got it ! go out , grab franco . anna : we 'll find him , michael . i promise , we will bring franco in and he will be punished for whatever happened to your mother . carly : oh , thank god you 're here . luke : you 're all right . you 're gon na be okay . felix : dr. drake , dr. scorpio - drake , uh , we did n't see you standing there . patrick : yeah , sorry to interrupt . i mean that . sabrina : are you , um , are you starting back to work here at the hospital ? robin : that remains to be seen . patrick : actually , we 're here for a board meeting . i 'm pretty sure they 're gon na offer robin the new chief - of - staff position . robin : no pressure or anything . patrick : anyway , we 're gon na go check out the new coffee kiosk on 3 before the meeting if you guys want to join us . sabrina : oh , i 'm actually sticking to tea these days . thanks . patrick : all right . robin : how are you feeling ? sabrina : i 'm okay . definitely better than a week ago . i think the morning sickness has definitely died off . robin : that 's good . i remember how debilitating it can be . sabrina : thanks for asking . robin : of course . patrick : if you need anything , obviously , let me know . sabrina : i appreciate that . patrick : okay . i 'll see you . felix : wait , hold up , doc . is that all you got to say ? `` you want some coffee ? catch you later `` ? patrick : what would you like me to say . felix : well , you could acknowledge that sabrina 's having a baby . patrick : i thought i just did that . felix : yeah , in a mildly - concerned - acquaintance kind of way . sabrina : felix , it 's fine . i already told patrick that he -- he does n't have to worry about me . carlos and i have everything under control . felix : what 's carlos got to do with any of this ? patrick : quite a bit , as he 's the father of the baby . kiki : wow . wow . you married sam . congratulations . silas : we did n't get married . kiki : okay . okay . well , i was gon na say you work a little fast , but -- silas : sam 's not my wife . kiki : but you have one ? what -- wait , so you 're -- you 're dating sam , but you 're married to someone else ? silas : it 's complicated . kiki : i 'll say . silas : now that i think about it , i 'd really like a bowl of cereal . kiki : of course , yeah . sit down . silas : thanks . kiki : i 'm sorry , but does sam know about this ? silas : sam knows everything . and now you will , too . sam : it 's so good to see you . i feel like i 'm acting really strange , though . i 'm sorry . i just was n't expecting to see you . i thought you were in seattle . lucas : oh , no , i just got back . with carly missing , i wanted to be here for my mom . sam : yeah , i 'm so sorry to hear about your sister . lucas : thanks . sam : how 's bobbie ? lucas : not great . pretty sure she has n't eaten in days . but i 'm here to get her food , actually . and i 'm happy now , 'cause i get to run into you . sam : yeah . lucas : yeah , hey , i do n't know what your schedule 's like , but i would love to hang out while i 'm home . you know , get to know my other sister . sam : danny and -- my -- lucas : yeah , maybe my nephew . sam : that 'd be great . yeah , sure . give me a call . any time . that 'd be great . lucas : great . sam : i - i - i got to go . but it 's good to see you . i 'll talk to you soon , yeah ? lucas : yeah . sam : okay . lucas : hey , sam . i get it . we do n't even know each other , and then all of a sudden , it turns out we share the same biological father . but just because julian jerome is dead does n't mean we ca n't have a relationship . right ? scott : robert frank , aka franco . michael : look , franco is all about gains , okay ? setting traps , leaving a trail . anna : yeah , i know . i 've read his file . i know . michael : and , look , just because my mother 's blood is on that knife does n't mean that , uh , does n't mean that she 's dead . okay ? he could be hiding her somewhere . he 's kidnapped her once before , and lulu and sam and -- anna : okay . now that we have a warrant for franco 's arrest , we will go out there , bring him into custody , and then we will start questioning him . that 's gon na speed up the investigation , all right ? and , off the record , i am very grateful for you for applying the necessary pressure the way you did . michael : yeah . hey , you can thank me by finding my mom . anna : i 'll do everything in my power . michael : okay . how long is the warrant gon na take ? anna : not long . as soon as the paperwork 's ready , i just sign it and we will go out there , find franco , and bring him in . monica : you sent luke to the boathouse ? tracy : do you have a problem with that ? monica : well , it 's just i never thought of him as being a wildlife expert . tracy : well , you 're right . he much prefers scamming suckers to wrangling raccoons , but your son was no help , and it turns out alice is deathly afraid of rodents . monica : [ laughs ] you 're kidding ! she is ? tracy : she allows oversized humans to sit on her , but she will not corral a small mammal . monica : well , so , that leaves luke . tracy : mm - hmm . he graciously volunteered , and i would be willing to bet that he is going toe - to - toe with that critter right now . carly : how did you find me ? luke : by accident . i 'm on raccoon patrol . you 're okay , right ? carly : yeah , i 'm going to be okay . yeah . luke : yeah , well , your mother 's been freaking out . carly : you got to get these off of me , okay ? we got to get out of here . luke : i know . i know . who did this to you ? franco ? carly : no . no , it was n't franco . i know everyone thinks it was . luke : yeah , he 's the number - one suspect . carly : it was n't him . it was n't him . luke : damn , these knots are as tight as fort knox . carly : come on ! we got to get out of here . she 'll be back any minute . luke : i know , but -- she ? who 's she ? who did this to you ? carly : heather webber , and she 's crazy . [ footsteps ] heather : someone mention my name ? heather : luke spencer , as i live and breathe . it 's been a long time . luke : not long enough . heather : oh , come on . do n't be that way . i prayed for you . it sounded like you were gon na bite the polonium - laced dust , but here you are to live another day and throw a wrench in my plans . or should i say golf club ? luke : this is a nasty habit you got , heather . typing people up in abandoned shacks . heather : this is a palace compared to the garden shed . besides , it 's certainly too good for her , that little tramp . she turned my son away from me . luke : is that what this is about ? carly : why do n't you tell him ? or should i ? how every convoluted step you 've taken has been to hurt the son you claim to love . heather : that 's enough out of you , missy . luke : okay , heather . after having been a guest of yours myself , there 's no way in hell i 'm gon na let you give her your special brand of hospitality . heather : fighting for your niece 's honor -- how precious . luke : you 're not gon na hurt her . i wo n't let you . heather : i see you 're determined to come to the rescue . too bad you wo n't get the chance . monica : well , i hope everything works out at the boathouse and there is n't too much bloodshed . tracy : you think it should be taking him this long ? monica : maybe raccoons are smarter than they look . at least smarter than luke , which would n't be too difficult . tracy : i think we should go down to the boathouse . monica : and what exactly would we do ? tracy : well , you 'll -- you 'll wrangle the raccoon , and i will supervise . monica : [ chuckling ] what is -- um , oh , well , never mind . i do n't have time to play animal control officer . i have a meeting at general hospital . tracy : really ? they do n't usually have meetings with people who do n't work there . monica : i know , so i 'm assuming they 're going to reinstate me as chief of staff . sorry , silas clay . kiki : i do n't know what to say . silas : no one does . that look on your face -- that 's pretty much everyone 's reaction . kiki : your wife has been in a coma for 20-plus years ? i 'm really sorry . silas : thank you . kiki : so , does that mean -- when i was , um , when you were with my mom , you were -- you were married ? silas : i had an affair with your mother , yes , and you were the result . kiki : [ chuckles ] ta - da . silas : for that reason alone , i 'll never regret it . kiki : is that why my mom did n't want me to know that you were my father at first ? silas : yeah , that 's part of it . kiki : what 's the rest of it ? silas : well , the rest of -- [ cell phone beeps ] silas : excuse me . sorry . kiki : that 's okay . silas : emergency meeting at the hospital board . i 'm -- i 'm sorry . kiki : oh , yikes . no , i hope it 's nothing serious . silas : no , i hope not . hey , look ... you think maybe we could -- maybe we could talk later ? kiki : yeah , of course . of course . yeah . silas : hey . thank you for the cereal . you were right . you -- you do have a knack for it . kiki : [ chuckles ] it 's in the genes . silas : [ chuckles ] kiki : uh , wait . i , um ... thank you for coming over and being honest with me . it 's kind of a rarity these days . silas : you 're welcome . see you around . kiki : [ gasps ] franco ? ! franco : yeah . you need to hide me . scott : warrant is being processed . michael : thank you . scott : do n't thank me , thank the commissioner here and her prank phone calls . anna : i told you i did n't make any calls . scott : well , then , who did ? i mean , somebody acting on your behalf , right ? they said they were from the pcpd , right ? michael : yeah . anna : oh , well , if they said so . michael : look , i do n't know who it was and i do n't care , okay ? as long as that bastard gets brought in . felix : care to fill the roommate in ? what 's this about -- about carlos being the father of her baby ? patrick : you did n't tell him . felix : no . sabrina : i 'm sorry . um , there 's just been so much going on . i slept with carlos . felix : when ? sabrina : the night of the wedding . felix : what ? sabrina : it 's not exactly i 'm proud of , but , um , when i found out i was pregnant , well , you just assumed that patrick was the father and i let you . felix : but he 's not ? sabrina : which is one of the many reasons why i asked you not to say anything . you guys , please . go have your coffee . and sorry about the baby police . robin : it 's okay . it 's been a confusing time for everyone . patrick : let me know if you need anything . sabrina : thank you , but carlos and i have it under control , unlike me , with these charts . would you care to give me a hand ? felix : now you want a hand ? patrick : all right , we 'll see you guys later . felix : what the hell was that ? you swore you never slept with mr . fugitive . sabrina : i did n't . felix : okay , unless there 's some new kind of sex that i 'm unaware of , it 's impossible for carlos to be the father of that child . so , why 'd you tell patrick he was ? alexis : i have shipping contracts for you to sign . sonny : you did n't have to bring them over yourself . alexis : oh , yes , i did . the last time i sent them , whoever was subbing for max , he misplaced them , and michael called three days later and said they were in your kitchen . sonny : oh , yeah . i got to do something about that . alexis : yeah . you do . hey , you know what i think you should do ? you should get an executive assistant . or better yet , a consigliere , like , you know , how bernie used to be . sonny : yeah , well , i thought you were my consigliere . i mean , you know , keeper of all my secrets , business and otherwise . alexis : in case i did n't make this clear the first 10,000 times , allow me to reiterate . i am , oh , so happy to be your attorney , to handle your legal affairs , your negotiations , your contracts , anything pertaining to your legitimate business . i do n't want to know anything about your illegitimate business . you know , if you 're starting a mob war , do n't tell me . and i certainly do n't want to know anything about you and gino . i am neutral -- neutral , switzerland . i will have absolutely nothing to do with either one of you . i do n't take sides . sonny : am i asking you to take sides ? alexis : no . sonny : oh , so , then it must be ... julian jerome . sam : actually , you know what ? there 's no reason to put it off . let 's go talk somewhere else . lucas : oh , i just got to grab that takeout first . julian : okay , sam , seriously , you do n't need to run from me , okay ? yes , i mean , we have our issues , but , uh , i am still your father . lucas : [ chuckles ] what did you just say ? julian : excuse me . i 'm trying to have a private conversation . lucas : what 's going on ? sam : nothing . go in and get your takeout food . we 'll talk about it in a minute . lucas : wait . how could this guy be your father ? your father is dead . julian : do n't you read the papers , kid ? julian jerome is alive and well . lucas : you 're julian jerome ? julian : did i stutter ? lucas : sam ? what 's going on ? julian : look , i 'll speak real slow so you can understand . people thought i was dead , but i am not . now , remind me why any of this is your concern . lucas : because i 'm lucas jones . i 'm your son . anna : thank you . scott : here you go . anna : oh . good . thank you . i know now that you were resistant to this . scott : well , once michael threatened to take it public with his little sister in hand , what choice did i have ? anna : i do n't think he was asking for anything extraordinary , scott . scott : are you kidding me ? ! he -- he practically threatened me that his father was gon na break my kneecaps . anna : there was no mention of physical violence . no . all i witnessed was a desperately concerned son asking his d.a . to do the job to which he was elected . now , you know , if your close ties -- scott : close ties ? ! i just wanted you people to do your investigation before you just jumped to judgment . anna : what can i tell you ? all the evidence points towards franco . scott : all right , look , you got your warrant . go out and arrest my son . kiki : what is going on ? franco : i 'm sorry to drop by like this , but the police are about to arrest me . kiki : why ? did something happen with the case ? franco : i do n't know . they 've issued a warrant . kiki : how do you know ? franco : because i was there . i heard . kiki : did they see you ? franco : of course they did n't see me . i would n't be here if they saw me . kiki : do you realize that you 're in michael 's place right now ? franco : yes , i understand that . kiki : do you remember how he feels about you ? franco : yes , i understand that , too . look , i did n't hurt carly , okay ? if they lock me up , they 're gon na stop looking for whoever really did hurt carly , and i ca n't have that . kiki : what do you want me to do , franco ? do you want me to hide you ? where ? franco : here ! you 're the only person in this world that believes in me . i need your help . [ keys jingling ] kiki : i do n't -- michael : kiki ? kiki , what 's up with the door ? patrick : verdict ? robin : mm ... better than the vending machine . patrick : not as good as kelly 's . robin : oh , definitely not . patrick : do n't have to leave the building to get it . both : i 'll take it . robin : [ laughs ] patrick : sorry about that earlier . with sabrina and felix , you know ? baby drama . sam : it 's okay . patrick , sabrina works here . i have to get used to seeing her . patrick : yeah . that part , of course , but you do n't want all the baby stuff coming up every two seconds . robin : well , hopefully now that felix knows that carlos is the father of the baby , he will stop bugging you about doing the honorable thing . patrick : i hope so . robin : what ? patrick : it 's just weird that she did n't tell him . i would assume that sabrina would tell felix everything . sabrina : for the record , i did not tell patrick that carlos was the father of the baby . carlos did . felix : why ? sabrina : patrick just showed up at our place out of nowhere , wanting to know what i was gon na do about the pregnancy , thanks to you , by the way . felix : i 'm sorry . sabrina : yeah , talk about being put on the spot . we were sitting there , and then carlos just walks in and makes his declaration , saying that he 's the father . felix : and you just went along with it ? sabrina : what was i supposed to do ? felix : tell the truth . sabrina : and pull a britt ? felix : okay , honey , what you 're pulling is way worse . sabrina : i 'm worse than britt ? felix : unh - unh . you are a reverse britt . sabrina : what is that ? felix : britt tried to pass off someone else 's kid as patrick 's . you 're trying to pass off patrick 's kid as someone else 's . sabrina : she was trying to trap him . felix : and you 're trying to trick him . either way , you both are liars . you know , now that i think of it , you and britt really should get together and compare notes . both : oh . silas : i 'm sorry about that . britt : no , i was n't looking . it 's my fault . silas : oh , you heading in for the meeting ? britt : that 's right . you ? silas : yeah . yeah . you have any idea what it 's about ? britt : i think the board members are announcing the new chief of staff . silas : yeah , i heard something about that . britt : yeah , like the fact that you 're on the top of the short list ? silas : how do you know about that ? britt : just one of the perks of living with a board member . nikolas received a letter a few weeks ago , outlining their plans , and ... i made the list , too , a few notches below you . but you seem to already know that , so ... silas : yeah , monica quartermaine told me about the list . britt : ooh . ouch . silas : yeah . needless to say , she was n't happy . tracy : monica , i showed you the letter i got from the board about the candidates for chief of staff , and it was a short list . your name was not on it . monica : i remember . and forewarned is forearmed . so , with your inside information , i filed a petition to be reinstated . tracy : did you ? monica : mm - hmm . and i ca n't see why they wo n't agree . after all , they fired me because of a.j . 's legal problems , and since then , he 's been acquitted . tracy : i think you 're overestimating the board 's intelligence . monica : nonsense . why would they have me come to a meeting ? anyway , keep me updated on what 's going on at the boathouse . no matter what , make sure it 's cleaned up . heather : what do you think you 're doing ? luke : what does it look like ? heather : just put the club down . i do n't want to hurt you . luke : you 're not gon na hurt me . you 're not gon na hurt her , either . heather : oh , decisions , decisions . i care very deeply for you , luke . but not that deeply . i 've worked too hard to get where i am . in other words , if i have to shoot you , i will . carly : luke , do what she says . listen to her . luke : i do n't think so . heather : [ gasps ] luke : game 's over , heather . you lose ! sabrina : i do n't care if you approve or not . my baby , my decision . a decision that you took away from me the moment that you blabbed it to patrick in the first place . felix : okay , i messed up . sabrina : yeah . you did . felix : does that mean i have to go along with your lies ? sabrina : yes ! felix , yes ! because you 're supposed to be my best friend . that 's what best friends do . felix : oh , that 's funny , because i thought best friends kept each other from making the biggest mistakes of their lives . sabrina : this is n't one of them . felix : [ sighs ] you realize we 've morphed into an episode of `` catfish , `` right ? sabrina : look , i understand that what i 'm asking of you is -- it 's a lot and it 's out there , but so is the situation . felix : i 'll give you that . your ex - fiancé goes back to his not - so - dead wife at the same time you find out you 're pregnant with his kid . no , i 'm not sure even nev and max would know what to do . sabrina : exactly , except i do n't have a nev and max , but i 'm hoping that i have you , felix . look , i am just trying to do what 's best for everyone , but i ca n't do that if patrick knows the truth . so , i need to know if i can count on you not to tell him . felix : [ sighs ] sabrina : can i ? patrick : silas . britt . silas : you guys got paged , too ? britt : we assume they 're announcing the new chief of staff . patrick : see ? i knew it . it 's you . robin : well , do n't be so sure . patrick : you just went to go get your job back . why would n't they give it to you ? you were an amazing chief of staff . britt : yeah , maybe . i mean , i do n't know . dr. clay over here seems to be some stiff competition . they may give the job to him ... or someone else . silas : only dr. westbourne has seen the list . robin : you have ? patrick : who 's on it ? britt : me , for starters . [ laughs ] alexis : i just feel really guilty that bobbie went out of her way to get lucas to furnish the dna sample so that i could find out if julian was sam 's father , but now julian 's asking questions , and he 's ' gon na find out that lucas is his son , and there 's nothing like a mobster coming to the door saying , `` hey , i 'm your dad . `` sonny : that depends on who the mobster is . alexis : oh . i 'm sorry . i was a little insensitive . sonny : little bit . especially if you 're comparing me to that dirt bag , julian jerome . alexis : like you have no flaws of your own . sonny : oh , and i thought that you , you know , thought that i was perfect . alexis : no . you think you 're perfect . sonny : [ chuckles ] alexis : i think you 're ruthless , driven , have a terrible temper , and an unfortunate capacity for violence . sonny : gee , thank you . alexis : you 're welcome . you 're also a devoted father and a very good friend , and that says something . sonny : i hope so . alexis : in fact , out of all three completely unsuitable men that got me pregnant , i would have to say ... sonny : mm - hmm ? what ? alexis : ... you 're not the worst . i need you to sign every place that has a tab . sonny : okay . now you 're running ? alexis : far , far away from here , because i do n't want to have this inappropriate conversation again . you bring it up , i bill you double . got it ? sonny : i do n't know what you 're talking about . alexis : good . give me my glasses . thank you . i 'm keeping the files in my office so they do n't land in your kitchen . sonny : alexis . uh ... i 'm gon na take care of julian . actually , i 've already started . alexis : yeah . julian : hold on . you 're lucas ? my son , lucas ? lucas : yeah . julian : oh , my god . i 'm so sorry for what i -- how i just spoke to you . i did n't know . i mean , i just found out , actually , about you . i mean , the fact that you 're my son . i mean , if i would have known about you , i would have found you years ago . in fact , i was just about to jump on a plane to seattle to come find you , but i guess i do n't have to because -- sam : yeah , sure you were . julian : because , well , here you are . i can -- i can finally start getting to know you . michael : kiki , you okay ? franco : please . you ca n't tell anybody . michael : kiki , i 'm gon na break this door down . kiki : i 'm coming , i 'm coming . honey , i 'm right here . hi . michael : hi . you okay ? kiki : yeah , sorry about that . michael : just you usually do n't use the chain , so ... kiki : well , with your mom missing , you can never be too careful , right ? hi . michael : yeah , speaking of which ... they 're gon na arrest franco . kiki : why ? how did that happen ? michael : because of me . kiki : i thought you said that you were gon na give franco the benefit of the doubt . michael : until evidence proved otherwise . kiki : what evidence ? michael : [ sighs ] police found a knife . kiki : a knife ? michael : yeah . kiki : well , what did it -- was it your -- michael : my mom 's blood was on the blade , and franco 's prints were on the handle . heather : damn it , luke ! luke : you just stop talking now . no talking . carly : how 's it feel , heather ? luke : i think it 's time we call the cops and get this looney toon back in her two - dimensional rubber cell . carly : not that it seems to do much good . luke : how do you keep escaping ? ! that 's something else we 're gon na have to complain to the police commissioner about . [ footsteps ] carly : luke ! luke : [ groans ] heather : thanks , boys . carly : luke . luke , wake up ! heather : do n't bother . he 's out cold . carly : who are these guys ? heather : never mind who they are . they provide me with all kinds of help when i need it . carly : you idiots work for her ? ! heather : oh , stop . you have to admit , i thought of everything . you have to get up pretty early in the day to beat heather webber . although , this was not anticipated . what do you want us to do with him ? tracy : ugh . it is so not the same . [ sighs ] luke ? [ sighs ] really ? he ca n't hear me . i got to know how it 's going on down there . i wonder if he found the raccoon . all right , i 'm just gon na have to go down there myself . alice ! get my coat ! julian : i mean , i just -- i ca n't -- i ca n't believe this . this is unbelievable . you 're my -- my son , standing in front of me . lucas : you were supposed to be dead . sam : he was using an alias . the truth only came out a couple months ago . julian : [ sighs ] lucas : a couple months ? my mom has known this for months and she did n't tell me ? julian : look , lucas , i can promise you , if i would have known about you , if i would have known that you were my son , i would have come try and find you , but here we are , and , you know , we can finally make up for the time that we 've lost . i mean , this is -- i mean , what do we do ? come here ! lucas : no , no . julian : what ? lucas : i ca n't . i 'm -- i 'm sorry . [ sighs ] julian : lucas , come on -- sam : no , no , no . let -- let him go . julian : [ sighs ] kiki : okay , this is crazy . are you sure ? michael : they found the knife in a trash can in the garage . kiki : at the metro court ? michael : yeah , it was my mom 's blood . kiki : i 'm so sorry , michael . michael : and the prints -- damn it . my mom 's probably out there somewhere bleeding or worse . franco did this to her . so -- so , they found the knife today ? michael : i do n't know when . apparently they 've been sitting on it , considering it 's circumstantial . i mean , how is that even possible ? kiki : if they were sitting on it , how did you find out ? michael : [ sighs ] some woman called me . kiki : what woman ? michael : i do n't know . the d.a . was accusing the commissioner . kiki : why would the commissioner call you ? michael : i guess anna was pushing to have franco arrested . i do n't know , but she denied making the phone call . kiki : then who did ? michael : somebody who worked at the pcpd . she warned me that they were sitting on evidence . bottom line is i was able to pressure baldwin into issuing a warrant for franco . i just hope that s.o.b . is n't out there hiding somewhere . scott : empty - handed ? say it ai n't so . anna : oh , yeah . franco was n't in his room at the metro court . scott : well , so , he could be anywhere . anna : yes , that 's what i 'm afraid of , scott . scott : i mean he can be having breakfast at kelly 's , he could be taking a little walk in the park . anna : really ? a prime suspect in a potential murder investigation ? scott : so what do you think ? he 's on the lam ? anna : i do n't know . [ cell phone rings ] anna : i have units scouring the neighborhood , and i have an apb out , and -- excuse me . devane . what ? ! patrick : i 'm sorry . you 're on the list ? britt : do n't sound too excited . patrick : no , it 's just , you know , i 'm sorry . actually , i 'm not sorry , because you framed sabrina and you tried to get her fired . britt : okay , not one of my proudest moments , all right ? silas : so , i guess we 've all made some mistakes . patrick : yeah , some bigger than others . britt : okay , do n't get too outraged . i 'm only one of the candidates . so are you , for that matter . patrick : me ? britt : yes , your name is on the list , right below your wife 's . robin : hmm . so , i guess this really is happening . [ chuckles ] one of us is about to be named chief of staff . monica : well , not if i have anything to say about it . britt : dr. quartermaine . monica : hello , everyone . britt : what are you -- monica : what am i doing here ? britt : i just mean because i 've seen the list and your name is not on it . monica : ah , well , putting aside for the moment how you even saw that list , i do n't need to be on it . i 'm not a replacement candidate . i 'm an incumbent . and i am here to get my job back . britt : [ chuckles ] patrick : yeah , not that we would n't be very happy to have you back , but , i mean , i 'm pretty sure that robin has this thing kind of sealed up here . robin : patrick , stop . monica : and , by the way , robin , welcome back . robin : thank you . it 's good to be home . monica : i can imagine . and patrick is right . robin was my predecessor . but i have been the most recent chief of staff , and had it not been for some legal issues , i probably would still -- robin : excuse me . i love that you have so much faith in me , but maybe it 's you . maybe you 're the next chief of staff . britt : yeah , i do n't think so . patrick : thank you for that . britt : oh . i just -- i just mean that if i had to place a bet , it would be on silas . monica : who has been here exactly five minutes . britt : yeah , exactly . he carries no baggage , unlike the rest of us . patrick : wait , wait . are you really considering our baggage to your baggage ? because that 's not even remotely close . silas : okay , okay . i think we should just all settle down . monica : well , you 're just full of ideas , are n't you ? silas : all right . where are these people ? we have to get going here . ah . glad to see you all made it . silas : are you the board - member guy ? okay , just cut to the chase , all right ? who 's the new chief of staff ? sabrina : i know i 'm asking a lot , but , please , felix , i need your help . promise me you wo n't tell anyone my secret . felix : [ sighs ] fine . sabrina : you mean it ? felix : no one will hear from me that carlos is n't really the father of your baby and that patrick is . sabrina : oh , thank you . anna : i do n't understand how this is even possible . yeah , no , no . i appreciate the head 's up . i just -- i got to figure out what to do about it . yeah . bye . scott : what happened ? did they find franco ? michael : [ sighs ] i have to call jax , tell him what happened , and figure out what , if anything , to tell josslyn . she 's just a kid . she 's not gon na understand . i do n't even understand . i mean , how my mom convinced herself that she 'd be safe with franco , that she 'd take that chance , given what she knew . [ sighs ] i 'm sorry , all right ? kiki : for what ? michael : i know you wanted to be able to trust franco . kiki : i did . michael : [ sighs ] and now , given what i know ... kiki ? what 's wrong ? kiki : there 's something i need to tell you . tracy : luke ! luke , talk to me ! luke ! did you find the raccoon ? ! or did it find you ? robin : well , what did you expect , julian ? julian : [ sighs ] well , not for my son to flee like i 'm some monster . sam : well , are n't you ? julian : [ chuckles ] sam : okay , i 'll speak real slow for you . real slow . julian : nice . sam : lucas thinks that you are a mobster who died over 20 years ago , and i do n't think being the `` great julian jerome 's son `` is any sort of badge of honor for him . julian : maybe i deserve that . i get it , okay . you think i 'm scum . sam : yeah , i think you 're scum . i think you 're a mobster who started a war with sonny , and now you 're hiding behind my little boy to protect yourself . you 're refusing to store stem cells to save my son . i think you are scum . i think you are a user and a liar , and i personally do n't want to have anything to do with you , and if lucas feels the same ... i support him . julian : you know , you 're still my daughter , and lucas is my son , and i care about you , and i always will . maybe some day you 'll realize that . sam : [ sighs ] monica : oh , just rip off the band - aid . i 'm sure they can all take it . you 're here to give me my job back , are n't you ? board chairman : actually , no . monica : no ? board chairman : though we would love to have you back on staff . patrick : i knew it . job 's yours . i love being married to the chief of staff . robin : stop it . sorry , dr. scorpio - drake . we did n't go with you , either . patrick : what ? robin : oh . patrick : you did n't ? britt : so , it 's obviously silas ? monica : well , he was at the top of the list . board chairman : it 's true . dr. clay was the board 's first choice . britt : i knew it . board chairman : but he was n't the final choice . britt : oh , me ? the board chose me ? ! [ gasps ] [ footsteps ] dr. obrecht : sorry to disappoint you , schatzi . but , no , you are not . britt : mother , what the hell are you doing here ? dr. obrecht : is n't it obvious ? i 'm the new chief of staff .

<s>[INST] felix : here . let me get those . sabrina : i 'm perfectly capable of carrying some charts . felix : under normal circumstances , but in your condition -- sabrina : felix , i 'm fine . felix : maybe you are , but i 'm not . will you please stop giving me the silent treatment ?

silas : my wife . monica : [ sighs ] tracy : you 're welcome . monica : oh , if you are referring to having saved me the paper , i never saw it . tracy : well , actually , that makes two of us . i 'm reduced to reading the news online . i was referring to the raccoon that has taken up residence in the boathouse . monica : oh , that thing that is driving me crazy with the racket ? tracy : no , i was referring to the silent , invisible one . monica : so , you are taking care of it ? tracy : well , not quite . actually , luke is down at the boathouse , ridding us of that rodent , even as we speak . luke : all right , you little bandits . let 's see what spanky 's so riled up about . oh , what the hell ?

`` you want some coffee ? catch you later `` ? patrick : what would you like me to say . felix : well , you could acknowledge that sabrina 's having a baby . patrick : i thought i just did that . felix : yeah , in a mildly - concerned - acquaintance kind of way . sabrina : felix , it 's fine . i already told patrick that he -- he does n't have to worry about me . carlos and i have everything under control . felix : what 's carlos got to do with any of this ? patrick : quite a bit , as he 's the father of the baby . kiki : wow . wow . you married sam . congratulations . silas : we did n't get married . kiki : okay . okay . well , i was gon na say you work a little fast , but -- silas : sam 's not my wife . kiki : but you have one ?

lucas : yeah . sam : okay . lucas : hey , sam . i get it . we do n't even know each other , and then all of a sudden , it turns out we share the same biological father . but just because julian jerome is dead does n't mean we ca n't have a relationship . right ? scott : robert frank , aka franco . michael : look , franco is all about gains , okay ? setting traps , leaving a trail . anna : yeah , i know . i 've read his file . i know . michael : and , look , just because my mother 's blood is on that knife does n't mean that , uh , does n't mean that she 's dead . okay ? he could be hiding her somewhere . he 's kidnapped her once before , and lulu and sam and -- anna : okay . now that we have a warrant for franco 's arrest , we will go out there , bring him into custody , and then we will start questioning him . that 's gon na speed up the investigation , all right ? and , off the record , i am very grateful for you for applying the necessary pressure the way you did . michael : yeah . hey , you can thank me by finding my mom . anna : i 'll do everything in my power . michael : okay . how long is the warrant gon na take ? anna : not long . as soon as the paperwork 's ready , i just sign it and we will go out there , find franco , and bring him in . monica : you sent luke to the boathouse ? tracy : do you have a problem with that ? monica : well , it 's just i never thought of him as being a wildlife expert . tracy : well , you 're right . he much prefers scamming suckers to wrangling raccoons , but your son was no help , and it turns out alice is deathly afraid of rodents . monica : [ laughs ] you 're kidding ! she is ? tracy : she allows oversized humans to sit on her , but she will not corral a small mammal . monica : well , so , that leaves luke . tracy : mm - hmm . he graciously volunteered , and i would be willing to bet that he is going toe - to - toe with that critter right now . carly : how did you find me ? luke : by accident . i 'm on raccoon patrol . you 're okay , right ? carly : yeah , i 'm going to be okay . yeah . luke : yeah , well , your mother 's been freaking out . carly : you got to get these off of me , okay ? we got to get out of here . luke : i know . i know . who did this to you ? franco ? carly : no . no , it was n't franco . i know everyone thinks it was . luke : yeah , he 's the number - one suspect . carly : it was n't him . it was n't him . luke : damn , these knots are as tight as fort knox . carly : come on ! we got to get out of here . she 'll be back any minute . luke : i know , but -- she ? who 's she ? who did this to you ? carly : heather webber , and she 's crazy . [ footsteps ] heather : someone mention my name ? heather : luke spencer , as i live and breathe . it 's been a long time . luke : not long enough . heather : oh , come on . do n't be that way . i prayed for you . it sounded like you were gon na bite the polonium - laced dust , but here you are to live another day and throw a wrench in my plans . or should i say golf club ? luke : this is a nasty habit you got , heather . typing people up in abandoned shacks . heather : this is a palace compared to the garden shed . besides , it 's certainly too good for her , that little tramp . she turned my son away from me . luke : is that what this is about ? carly : why do n't you tell him ? or should i ? how every convoluted step you 've taken has been to hurt the son you claim to love . heather : that 's enough out of you , missy . luke : okay , heather . after having been a guest of yours myself , there 's no way in hell i 'm gon na let you give her your special brand of hospitality . heather : fighting for your niece 's honor -- how precious . luke : you 're not gon na hurt her . i wo n't let you . heather : i see you 're determined to come to the rescue . too bad you wo n't get the chance . monica : well , i hope everything works out at the boathouse and there is n't too much bloodshed . tracy : you think it should be taking him this long ? monica : maybe raccoons are smarter than they look . at least smarter than luke , which would n't be too difficult . tracy : i think we should go down to the boathouse . monica : and what exactly would we do ? tracy : well , you 'll -- you 'll wrangle the raccoon , and i will supervise . monica : [ chuckling ] what is -- um , oh , well , never mind . i do n't have time to play animal control officer . i have a meeting at general hospital . tracy : really ? they do n't usually have meetings with people who do n't work there . monica : i know , so i 'm assuming they 're going to reinstate me as chief of staff . sorry , silas clay . kiki : i do n't know what to say . silas : no one does . that look on your face -- that 's pretty much everyone 's reaction . kiki : your wife has been in a coma for 20-plus years ? i 'm really sorry . silas : thank you . kiki : so , does that mean -- when i was , um , when you were with my mom , you were -- you were married ? silas : i had an affair with your mother , yes , and you were the result . kiki : [ chuckles ] ta - da . silas : for that reason alone , i 'll never regret it . kiki : is that why my mom did n't want me to know that you were my father at first ? silas : yeah , that 's part of it . kiki : what 's the rest of it ? silas : well , the rest of -- [ cell phone beeps ] silas : excuse me . sorry . kiki : that 's okay . silas : emergency meeting at the hospital board . i 'm -- i 'm sorry . kiki : oh , yikes . no , i hope it 's nothing serious . silas : no , i hope not . hey , look ... you think maybe we could -- maybe we could talk later ? kiki : yeah , of course . of course . yeah . silas : hey . thank you for the cereal . you were right . you -- you do have a knack for it . kiki : [ chuckles ] it 's in the genes . silas : [ chuckles ] kiki : uh , wait . i , um ... thank you for coming over and being honest with me . it 's kind of a rarity these days . silas : you 're welcome . see you around . kiki : [ gasps ] franco ? ! franco : yeah . you need to hide me . scott : warrant is being processed . michael : thank you . scott : do n't thank me , thank the commissioner here and her prank phone calls . anna : i told you i did n't make any calls . scott : well , then , who did ? i mean , somebody acting on your behalf , right ? they said they were from the pcpd , right ? michael : yeah . anna : oh , well , if they said so . michael : look , i do n't know who it was and i do n't care , okay ? as long as that bastard gets brought in . felix : care to fill the roommate in ? what 's this about -- about carlos being the father of her baby ? patrick : you did n't tell him . felix : no . sabrina : i 'm sorry . um , there 's just been so much going on . i slept with carlos . felix : when ? sabrina : the night of the wedding . felix : what ? sabrina : it 's not exactly i 'm proud of , but , um , when i found out i was pregnant , well , you just assumed that patrick was the father and i let you . felix : but he 's not ? sabrina : which is one of the many reasons why i asked you not to say anything . you guys , please . go have your coffee . and sorry about the baby police . robin : it 's okay . it 's been a confusing time for everyone . patrick : let me know if you need anything . sabrina : thank you , but carlos and i have it under control , unlike me , with these charts . would you care to give me a hand ? felix : now you want a hand ? patrick : all right , we 'll see you guys later . felix : what the hell was that ? you swore you never slept with mr . fugitive . sabrina : i did n't . felix : okay , unless there 's some new kind of sex that i 'm unaware of , it 's impossible for carlos to be the father of that child . so , why 'd you tell patrick he was ? alexis : i have shipping contracts for you to sign . sonny : you did n't have to bring them over yourself . alexis : oh , yes , i did . the last time i sent them , whoever was subbing for max , he misplaced them , and michael called three days later and said they were in your kitchen . sonny : oh , yeah . i got to do something about that . alexis : yeah . you do . hey , you know what i think you should do ? you should get an executive assistant . or better yet , a consigliere , like , you know , how bernie used to be . sonny : yeah , well , i thought you were my consigliere . i mean , you know , keeper of all my secrets , business and otherwise . alexis : in case i did n't make this clear the first 10,000 times , allow me to reiterate . i am , oh , so happy to be your attorney , to handle your legal affairs , your negotiations , your contracts , anything pertaining to your legitimate business . i do n't want to know anything about your illegitimate business . you know , if you 're starting a mob war , do n't tell me . and i certainly do n't want to know anything about you and gino . i am neutral -- neutral , switzerland . i will have absolutely nothing to do with either one of you . i do n't take sides . sonny : am i asking you to take sides ? alexis : no . sonny : oh , so , then it must be ... julian jerome . sam : actually , you know what ? there 's no reason to put it off . let 's go talk somewhere else . lucas : oh , i just got to grab that takeout first . julian : okay , sam , seriously , you do n't need to run from me , okay ? yes , i mean , we have our issues , but , uh , i am still your father . lucas : [ chuckles ] what did you just say ? julian : excuse me . i 'm trying to have a private conversation . lucas : what 's going on ? sam : nothing . go in and get your takeout food . we 'll talk about it in a minute . lucas : wait . how could this guy be your father ? your father is dead . julian : do n't you read the papers , kid ? julian jerome is alive and well . lucas : you 're julian jerome ? julian : did i stutter ? lucas : sam ? what 's going on ? julian : look , i 'll speak real slow so you can understand . people thought i was dead , but i am not . now , remind me why any of this is your concern . lucas : because i 'm lucas jones . i 'm your son . anna : thank you . scott : here you go . anna : oh . good . thank you . i know now that you were resistant to this . scott : well , once michael threatened to take it public with his little sister in hand , what choice did i have ? anna : i do n't think he was asking for anything extraordinary , scott . scott : are you kidding me ? ! he -- he practically threatened me that his father was gon na break my kneecaps . anna : there was no mention of physical violence . no . all i witnessed was a desperately concerned son asking his d.a . to do the job to which he was elected . now , you know , if your close ties -- scott : close ties ? ! i just wanted you people to do your investigation before you just jumped to judgment . anna : what can i tell you ? all the evidence points towards franco . scott : all right , look , you got your warrant . go out and arrest my son . kiki : what is going on ? franco : i 'm sorry to drop by like this , but the police are about to arrest me . kiki : why ? did something happen with the case ? franco : i do n't know . they 've issued a warrant . kiki : how do you know ? franco : because i was there . i heard . kiki : did they see you ? franco : of course they did n't see me . i would n't be here if they saw me . kiki : do you realize that you 're in michael 's place right now ? franco : yes , i understand that . kiki : do you remember how he feels about you ? franco : yes , i understand that , too . look , i did n't hurt carly , okay ? if they lock me up , they 're gon na stop looking for whoever really did hurt carly , and i ca n't have that . kiki : what do you want me to do , franco ?

katie : who are you lying to , steffy or me ? because we both seem to think that you 're breaking it off with the other . bill : you should n't have gone to see her . what if something happened to you ? katie : answer my question . are you leaving me ? [ scene_break ] steffy : dad . ridge : so this is the new place . steffy : um , yeah . uh , i just moved in . i 'm sorry i have n't told you . ridge : you have n't told me about quite a lot , so it seems . [ scene_break ] taylor : i just hope ridge does n't go over there and make things worse . brooke : ( sighs ) somebody needs to talk some sense into steffy . taylor : would you please stop painting her out to be the villain ? things just got out of control very fast . brooke : i just do n't know why you kept this to yourself . you should have gone to ridge right away . taylor : i was going to , but steffy wanted to talk to him herself . she really believes that somehow she and bill are going to be together , and i really ca n't blame her , because he 's either a really good liar , or he is being genuine . brooke : well , he might have been ... then . but things have changed since katie had a heart attack . he 's not going to leave his wife , not after this . taylor : brooke , we ca n't be guessing what bill is going to do . this is a very tough situation . brooke : please tell me you 're not condoning a relationship between steffy and him . taylor : no , i am not condoning that relationship as long as he 's married . brooke : he is married , and that 's not about to change . taylor : you would n't want him to stay with katie out of pity , would you ? what if he really does love steffy ? brooke : he loves katie . taylor : well , he could love katie and steffy . we both know that 's possible . in which case , one of them is going to inevitably be hurt .

[ scene_break ] ridge : steffy , i know you 've had an infatuation with bill , but to call it love ? steffy : it is , dad . ridge : it 's out of nowhere . it just does n't make sense . steffy : dad , i wanted bill when i got back from paris . ridge : again , infatuation . how did this turn into love ? steffy : well , when we rescued thomas . ridge : what ? steffy : yeah , he kissed me , and he told me he loved me . ridge : back then ? steffy : mm - hmm . yeah , dad , this is n't some reaction because you left mom . we have real feelings for each other . ridge : steffy , bill 's married to katie . that is what 's real . steffy : being married to mom did n't stop you from being with your destiny . look , i do n't even want to talk to you about marriage , okay ? i want bill . he wants me . and we love each other , and you 're just gon na have to learn to accept it . [ scene_break ] brooke : bill will not leave katie . you need to prepare for that . you 're gon na have to help your daughter get through this . taylor : yes , absolutely . i 'm going to be ready to do that i 'm going to help my daughter in any way i need to . brooke , look , i - i realize you 're worried , given your sister 's health concerns , but i really think you need to be more concerned about bill 's real feelings for steffy . brooke : bill may not be very ethical in business , but when it comes to family , he always does the right thing . water ? taylor : no , thank you . brooke : he made a mistake . ( sighs ) he never should have let this get so carried away . he should have pushed steffy away the minute she looked sideways at him . taylor : excuse me . it takes two people to cheat , brooke . it 's not just steffy . brooke : please . if this were anybody else , you would be calling her a home wrecker ... taylor : what ? brooke : or something worse . i know from experience . look at what steffy did . taylor : she fell in love . brooke : she pursued a married man , got him to fall for her , and she had no respect for his wife . taylor : right , the same way you respected me as ridge 's wife . brooke : look , this has nothing to do with us . this is about your daughter hurting my sister . bill is going to stay with katie , and steffy will be hurt , so you need to be there . you need to help her through this , and you need to get her to realize she ca n't hang onto this crazy fantasy of hers . taylor : ( sighs ) brooke : it 's not healthy , taylor . do n't let steffy cling to something that is not going to happen . [ scene_break ] bill : i 'm not leading anybody on . i 'm trying to be honest with both of you . katie : but this is n't an open marriage , bill . bill : i know . and looking at you right now , it 's obvious where i need to be . katie : how are you looking at me ? as a hospital patient ? someone to pity until her heart gives out ? bill : i 'm looking at the woman i married . i see you as i did that day -- beautiful . i see you as the woman i committed my life to . i did n't write any vows , if you remember . i just spoke from the heart -- me , dollar bill spencer , maybe for the first time in my life . katie : ( sighs ) bill : you asked me why i married you . bill : no woman in the world could have inspired me to think that i even had a heart , let alone speak from it . katie : until steffy came along . you let her in . you let her become a factor in our marriage . i - i should have been more vocal about her presence in your life . bill : you were plenty vocal , katie . hell , you walked out on me . katie : and i am not going to apologize for that any longer . ( sighs ) yes , i walked out , and i had a damn good reason . i think any woman , any sane woman , would need a little breathing room after finding out that her husband was planning to kill someone . so you have abandonment issues . my dad left , too . you find a way to get over it . you do n't go crazy every time someone walks out the door . you know what ? i have an idea , bill . here 's an idea . how about therapy ? ( laughs ) i know . i 'm sorry . i forgot bill spencer does n't do therapy . bill : k - katie , please calm down . you -- katie : i want to make something very clear . if you decide to come back , it will be me that makes the decision as to whether i want you back . and if i do , things will change in this marriage . i will not be so tolerant . you 're an attractive man and i get that girls like steffy will throw themselves at you , but you will not touch them . you will not kiss them . you will be a stronger man than that . because i want a man of integrity , and if that 's not you , then i do n't want you . if that 's not you , then you should leave right now . i 'm serious . go to steffy , the other woman you love . [ scene_break ] taylor : you know , brooke , i - i really do n't need you to tell me how to counsel my daughter i have talked to her already . she is an adult , all right ? and she has her own feelings . brooke : so you just stand by and let her wreak havoc on somebody else 's marriage ? taylor : no , that is not what i 'm doing . i told her to end things with bill . i told bill that he ca n't come to my house anymore . all right ? but it only pushed her away . she went and got her own place . really and truly , you should have a lot of sympathy for her , brooke . she 's in a lose - lose situation . she 's either going to get her heart broken , or she 's going to be under constant attack by you and your entire family . brooke : deservedly so . she is out of control , and it 's your responsibility to get her to stop . taylor : no , it 's my responsibility as her mother to be someone that she trusts and that she feels safe with . and i 'm not going to tell my daughter that she should just turn off her emotions and not feel anything , and i 'm certainly not going to make her feel like she 's not worthy of bill 's love . and you know what ? sometimes marriages fail . so maybe you need to prepare yourself , brooke , that your sister 's in one of those kind of marriages . [ scene_break ] ridge : brooke seems to think that bill is staying with katie . steffy : that 's her sister . of course , she 's gon na say that . ridge : apparently , bill has made promises to her , too . steffy : okay , well , he 's made promises to me . ridge : well , then someone 's lying here , sweetheart and , frankly , i do n't like your odds . listen , his wife just had a heart attack . you think he 's gon na leave her now ? would you even want to be with a man who did that ? steffy : uh , obviously , it 's gon na take time but i trust bill . and i want to let him do this on his own . he 's gon na be there for katie right now . but eventually , he 's gon na leave her and be with me .

[ scene_break ] gigi : it 'll all go away if you agree to disappear . stacy : ca n't do that . gigi : so you 'd rather go to prison ? there 's nothing here for you anymore , stacy . whatever it was you thought you had with rex , it 's over . he 's with me . we 're a family . you 've got no claim on him . stacy : there 's where you 're wrong .

bo and rex are ready to press charges against stacy . gigi goes to tell her it 's `` all over `` . she has no choice except to go to prison or to leave town and leave them alone forever in order for them to drop the charges . but , little do they know that she is pregnant . she tells gigi it 's not that simple and she does have a claim on rex . matthew is still determined to take his parent to court to authorize greg to do the surgery . nora tells clint she can not marry him on the day planned . dorian tells blair that she has an idea of how to break her niece of `` todd addiction `` forever . tea can move in and be with todd . blair tells her aunt absolutely not . todd presents the same idea to tea . she tells him absolutely not .

[ scene_break ] elizabeth : things are simple . you either want to be with sabrina or you do n't . but you ca n't continue to hide behind robin and emma . we already know that emma has made up her mind , and we know robin 's thoughts on the subject , do n't we ? patrick : guess we do . elizabeth : we do . so now all you have to do is think about what you want . but do n't take too long , because you and i both know that life is too short and unpredictable . neither one of us should waste the time we have . patrick : yeah . elizabeth : i 'm gon na go check on nikolas . patrick : hope everything works out okay with that , actually . elizabeth : thanks . and for you , too . patrick : thank you .

[ chuckles ] and that if i cared for you so much , that i 'd want you to be happy . and that our friendship is more important than some guy , even magic milo . sabrina : well , see , that 's why i was gon na tell milo that i could n't see him anymore . felix , you 're my best friend . the last thing i would ever want to do is hurt you . felix : i get that . now , bring it in . sabrina : you know that the only reason i went out with milo was to try to get over being rejected by patrick , right ? felix : you did n't do anything wrong . it 's all my fault . sabrina : okay . felix : going after yet another straight guy . sabrina : you 're right . it is your fault . [ both laugh ] [ scene_break ] elizabeth : emma was so proud of herself when she figured out how to send that picture from my phone . patrick : yeah . kids these days . it 's actually pretty scary . elizabeth : so , was it the picture that finally convinced you to show up at the graduation ?

[ scene_break ] ellie : this is criminal trespassing . i 'm calling security . tracy : be my guest . you do know how much money my family has donated to this hospital . ellie : just because your family funds the hospital does not mean you own it or that you are somehow above the rules . tracy : okey - dokey . release the hounds . i will , in fact , be temporarily inconvenienced . you will be permanently out of a job , or ... ellie : or what ? tracy : or you and i can come up with something mutually beneficial . i need the formula to that relish , and you need patronage . ellie : and you 're prepared to offer me that ? tracy : well , the elq foundation could give you a grant , maybe even build you your own laboratory dedicated solely to your work , the ellie salmon laboratory . ellie : it 's trout . tracy : trout . ellie : ellie trout . tracy : trout . ellie : and i do n't think you 're in any position to be bribing me . you 're not even in charge of elq anymore . tracy : well , today maybe and possibly tomorrow , but soon . and for the rest of my life . ellie : miss quartermaine , this may be an unfamiliar concept to you , but i have integrity , and that integrity forbids me from allowing you to bribe into giving you the recipe . and i would never do anything that deceitful . tracy : hmm . you know what i know about integrity ? just has a higher price tag . ellie : well , my integrity 's priceless . tracy : really ? ca n't say the same for your boyfriend .

[ scene_break ] tracy : never mind that he went behind aj 's back . that i - i sort of like . but he was willing to betray you for a paycheck . ellie : you are a liar . you bullied damian into stealing that formula by threatening to evict him from his office and his home . tracy : well , to be fair , they are one in the same . ellie : well , damian 's sense of honor won out in the end , and he chose to ingest the recipe -- tracy : i remember . ellie : give it up , miss quartermaine . trashing damian is not gon na persuade me to give you what you want . tracy : i get it . you 're not gon na allow anyone to besmirch spinelli 's good name . ellie : correct . tracy : well , inconvenient though it may be , i think it 's admirable the way you 're willing to stick up for your boyfriend . ellie : assuming damian is still my boyfriend . [ scene_break ] spinelli : how may i make restitution for my regrettable actions ? aj : there 's a missing quartermaine heir out there somewhere . spinelli : may i ask how you discovered his or her existence ? aj : heather webber . normally i 'd figure she 's either lying or crazy or both , but carly backed it up . spinelli : and i 'm sorry . may i ask why this would - be scion is so important ? aj : tracy 's already searching . now , if she finds the missing q first , i could be out as c.e.o . hell , i could be out of elq altogether . spinelli : yeah , and your work to reconstitute the relish recipe -- aj : would all be hers , and all the work that i 've -- i 've done to build a relationship with michael and everything i 've done to prove myself could go up in smoke . spinelli : a most undesirable outcome . aj : so , spinelli , can i count on you to help me or not ? [ scene_break ] lucy : uh , see , even though i 'm not really biologically , you know , that dna thing is n't happening , i still think of rafe as my family , and i 'm not gon na rest until he 's happy and he 's surrounded by people who care a lot about him . molly : well , is there any chance rafe can live with you and your husband ? lucy : no , i tried . i would love that . but they kind of said no 'cause we do n't live here full time and the whole police thing and the ferncliff thing and the ... oh , hi . uh , um , um ... tee ... tj : tj . lucy : tj . oh , we were -- we were just discussing , um , a mutual friend of ours . um , do you think that maybe there 's something your mom can do ? she is a fabulous attorney . molly : um , yeah , my mom 's been trying to find rafe a good foster home . lucy : okay . well , that 's good . then he 's in excellent , excellent hands . i just -- i 'm not gon na be happy until he 's feeling safe and secure and he 's not alone . i know . tell your mom any time doc will do anything , i will do anything for rafe , please . okay .

[ scene_break ] elizabeth : things are simple . you either want to be with sabrina or you do n't . but you ca n't continue to hide behind robin and emma . we already know that emma has made up her mind , and we know robin 's thoughts on the subject , do n't we ? patrick : guess we do . elizabeth : we do . so now all you have to do is think about what you want . but do n't take too long , because you and i both know that life is too short and unpredictable . neither one of us should waste the time we have . patrick : yeah . elizabeth : i 'm gon na go check on nikolas . patrick : hope everything works out okay with that , actually . elizabeth : thanks . and for you , too . patrick : thank you .

[ robin giggles ] [ robin screams ] jax : oh ! uh -- maxie : you know it was a year ago that the doctors said my heart was failing and that i needed another transplant ? i refused . i did n't want to give up b.j .

[ robin giggles ] [ robin screams ] jax : oh ! uh -- maxie : you know it was a year ago that the doctors said my heart was failing and that i needed another transplant ? i refused . i did n't want to give up b.j .

[ sam sighs ] sam : i have had a ton of close calls in my life . i was n't exactly an office worker when you met me . when it is my time , i 'm going to die , whether i 'm with you or not . i fell in love with you , and when that happened , everything changed . there is no going back . i need us , jason . i miss our ease . i miss our trust and our faith . when -- when did you lose faith ? jason : when i held you in my arms helpless to stop a bullet that was meant for me . i ca n't go through that again , not ever . sam : no . it 's not like you to be afraid . jason : i am . i 'm afraid of being the reason that you lose your life . i 'm afraid of being what i 've always hated -- you know , a hypocrite , trying to force sonny to give up emily when i 'm putting you in just as much danger , if not more . sam : do you see there 's a flaw in your logic ? you running the business is no different than being second in command when it comes to your enemies -- jason : sam -- sam : making me a target . so with that said , jason , really , no , nothing has changed . so now why do n't you tell me why you 're refusing to be with me ?

[ knock on door ] noah : i really hope that that 's summer right now , so the both of you can look her in the eye and explain to her exactly why her husband is really dead . victor : this is not summer . it 's the authorities . jack and i may agree on the whole marco annicelli situation , but we disagree about almost everything else . jack : wait a minute . who is at that door ? victor : they 're here to arrest your ass . neil : here we are again . you lay in this bed and me sitting right here begging you to wake up . hey . just open your eyes , and this whole nightmare will end . please . come on . [ cell phone rings ] neil : hello ? gwen : hey . i just wanted to see how your meeting went . neil : yeah , it was fine . it was productive . i was n't sure that i would hear from you today , so , i mean , with the time difference between wisconsin and new york . gwen : yeah . the time difference . neil : yeah , i - i have to run . i 'll be in touch when i get back to town , all right ? gwen : okay . sounds good . lily : hey . what 's wrong ? gwen : it 's neil . the lies just keep piling up , and now it 's about where he is and what he 's doing . lily : where he is ? what do you mean ? he 's not in new york ? gwen : lily , he 's hiding out here in genoa city . ian : your weakness and capitulation is a shame , adam . but paragon can not be contained . adam : sure it can . ian , it 's a bunch of code . it 's numbers on a screen . you hit delete , and the thing is gone . ian : you know , the fear of victor runs so deep in you . if only you and i had met before that infection took root . adam : i 'm not afraid of anyone , let alone victor newman . ian : hmm . adam : i 'll find a way to get to him . i 'll do it without you . ian : you gon na dissolve our alliance ? adam : let me just put it to you in your speak , if i could , okay ? this plan ... ian : yeah ? adam : ... is enabling this rage monster inside of you , this thing that wants to destroy victor newman and everyone and everything around him . what we need to do , ' kay , is breathe . just go ahead and breathe through that . you know what i mean ? so we can adapt and we can transform that rage monster into a beautiful , little butterfly that just flutters in and shuts this thing down , man ! ian : revenge comes at a cost , and deep down , you know that . you got the fear virus got ahold of you , man . adam : let me tell you something . we 're gon na shut down the paragon virus right now . ian : i 'm afraid that 's not possible . along with your fear , the paragon has become its own beast . it wiggles and it weaves of its own accord . i could n't stop it now if i wanted to . and i do n't want to . not one little bit . it 's gon na be a hell of a show , folks . [ laughs ] a hell of a show . jack : i know you think you 're doing your job , but this is victor newman yanking this department 's chain . billy : told them . did n't matter . jack : victor had you arrested , too ? abby : all of us . jack : what the hell is going on here ? billy : well , technically the mustache only had me arrested , but victoria and abby decided to tag along for fun . abby : we were defending his honor . jack : and they said chivalry was dead . victoria : it 's just all a misunderstanding . jack : of course it is . now , we will all walk out of here together the moment the investigator realizes jabot had nothing to do with this paragon virus . billy : yeah , i wonder where they got the idea of our guilt to begin with . paul : oh , victor tipped off the feds . and believe me , if they ordered all these arrests , they have supporting evidence to link the virus to jabot . abby : that ca n't be . billy : no , no , of course not , because victor would never plant evidence or bribe someone or manipulate a situation like this . no . never . dylan : i 'm not a lawyer , but you guys should stop talking . michael : i am a lawyer , and i agree entirely . victoria : michael , can you please get us out of here ? michael : it depends on what you did and who you did it to . abby : there 's a slight possibility that we may have interfered with an officer making an arrest . michael : all right , please , please stop talking . [ chuckling ] you know , for a relatively intelligent family , you 're being very dim . billy : they thought they were helping me . abby : and this is the thanks we get . michael : all right , i might be able to help you two , but federal charges are a separate issue . abby : but we 're his alibi . victoria : we 're his character witnesses . jack : who is getting me out of here ? no one ? oh , this is great . dylan : you guys keep talking like it 's a good idea . michael : the paragon virus came from somewhere , and if the fbi has evidence , it points here . this is where they 're gon na be -- phyllis : you get these cuffs off my husband right now . he is not behind the paragon project . it is all ian ward . lily : wait , my dad did n't go out of town ? so he really is drinking again , then . gwen : i just saw him in the park with another man , and i could n't hear what they were saying , but it was intense . lily : yeah , but you did n't talk to him , so maybe there 's a reason . maybe -- maybe someone canceled or he missed his flight . gwen : i just called him . i gave him a chance to come clean , and he pretended to be in new york . lily : look , i ... i told you to move forward with my dad 'cause i thought he could use the support , but maybe he ca n't handle it . that 's why he lied about being in new york . gwen : i do n't think this was a little lie to avoid seeing me . and between this and him admitting he 's drinking and then secretly working on the lake house ? lily : i know . i think he 's just been really stressed out since hilary went missing . and i thought he was handling it , but obviously he 's not . i just wish that he would help us -- devon : lily , hilary is alive , and she 's here in town . lily : what ? devon : somebody flew her from virgin gorda to dallas to here . she was unconscious , but she 's alive . gwen : where is she ? devon : we do n't know . she 's close by . somebody brought her home . we just have to find her . gwen : wait , when was she flown back to genoa city ? devon : it was the same day she went missing . why ? do you know something ? paul : you know what ? ian ward is in prison . summer : he was strolling through the park right now . paul : you saw him ? summer : yes , i just saw him . i promise you i would n't forget what he looks like . jack : ward contacted you ? phyllis : jack -- jack : i swear , if he said -- as so much as said your name -- phyllis : you were right about fred . he is not some innocent widower fisherman . it was ian trying to fake me out . abby : wait . so he was pretending to be some guy named fred ? how could you not know who he was ? summer : well , my mom was in the coma . we did n't fill her in on what had happened , so she had no idea who she was dealing with . phyllis : yeah , he was completely friendly , tossing wisdom around like it was manure on rose bushes . dylan : well , that 's his game . how 'd he get out of prison ? phyllis : who knows ? but let 's think about the timing . it 's the same night that jack and billy were hauled in for that paragon virus . dylan : so ward is behind the attack on victor . phyllis : yeah . and he 's all too happy to see the abbotts go down for it . paul : you know what ? i would throttle the predator myself if i saw him . but i ca n't release all of you just based on summer 's word . michael : then prepare for me to file brief after brief , because jack and billy abbott are now my clients . paul : michael , hold on to your briefs . i will contact the prison and find out if ian ward is on the loose . and the rest of you , stay put and try not to rack up any more charges while i make the call . jack : we should have told you . i know . you were gone . it was a dark time . summer : it was embarrassing , and it was awful , and i really thought that we were past all of it . phyllis : whether i knew about him or not , when am i such a sucker ? actually fell for the poor guy 's sob story about his late wife . summer : well , ian is an expert at making people trust him . this is not your fault that this happened . jack : he was in our cabin . he 's in our town . he 's free . and i 'm handcuffed and ca n't get out of here . phyllis : look , i do n't know what else i could do to get you out of these charges , honey . i 'm sorry . jack : there 's only one person who can make this end sooner rather than later . noah : one minute you two are on the same side , and the next you 're having the guy hauled off in handcuffs . victor : what the police do is not under my control . noah : and yet you 're probably the reason why jack 's behind a cell right now . victor : you have to understand that jack and the abbotts brought this onto themselves . they introduced a virus into the newman enterprises ' computer system to bring us down . noah : and that 's all that matters , is n't it , is just profit and loss . to hell with human lives . victor : whoa , whoa , whoa , whoa , whoa , whoa , whoa , whoa . you bet i paid attention to profit and loss when i built this company from the ground up . that 's why you were born into the riches you were born into ! noah : i need to know what happened . i need to know the story , okay ? please . what happened ? harding confessed to killing courtney and austin . victor : and he did . noah : why ? for himself ? or was it because him and marco were working together ? victor : noah , i 'm very sorry about all that you know now about all this . wish you did n't . not because it reflects badly on me , but because it puts you in danger . marco annicelli is a bad dude . very , very deeply sorry about what happened to summer 's husband and to your fiancée , courtney . she was a beautiful girl . i wish i could undo it all . but i ca n't . what 's done is done . and i want you to know ... that i regret it deeply . adam : we created the virus . we can kill it . now go get your guy and get it done . ian : you know , it 's magical the way computer technology works . yes , my colleague mapped out all of the ones and the zeroes for the program . but now it 's become a living creature with a mind of its own . we cut it in half , and like a worm , the two halves just keep on moving . it 's twice the chaos . it 's indestructible , really . it 's marvelous . adam : okay , i 've heard about enough of this , all right ? i 'm gon na get my laptop . you 're gon na get yours . we 're gon na put them together , and we 're gon na figure this out . [ grunts ] ian : i told you , adam . i do n't take orders . [ chuckles ] lily : look , we do n't have answers . what we should be asking is who brought hilary home and why did n't they tell anyone ? devon : i do n't know . and it 's driving me crazy , though , that she 's so close and i ca n't get to her . gwen : i hope more than anything that she 's back home safe with you as soon as possible . my thoughts are with both of you . lily : thank you . dylan : thank you . gwen : i 'll let you be alone . lily : thanks . devon : oh , my gosh . i ca n't believe all the time that i 've wasted going back and forth to virgin gorda and sending cane and accusing the cops down there of not doing enough , and she 's been here the whole damn time . lily : listen to me . the important thing is , is that you did n't lose hope . you said that you would know if she was gone , and you 're right . she 's not . devon : i 've always known she 's alive . and she 's here , and i 'm going to find her . dylan : after what ian ward did to nikki and summer ... abby : and mariah , `` here comes the bride . `` no wonder she 's such a freak . victoria : humiliating mom with diaries from when she was young and confused . dylan : and all those claims he was my father . jack : he managed just to get that close to phyllis after nearly brainwashing summer . michael : he 's a menace and conniving enough to execute an elaborate revenge plan , but to get out of prison ? jack : oh , i would n't put anything past him . i 'm sure he convinced that guard that releasing him was part of his path . billy : and launch a sneak attack on newman enterprises , conveniently letting us look like the hacker . paul : okay , whoever summer saw , we ca n't confirm it was ian ward . jack : no , if summer said she saw him , that 's who she saw . paul : well , according to the warden , ian is presently in a prison hospital room being treated for a chronic condition , and he has no computer access . abby : wait , then who was in the park with phyllis ? paul : well , i intend to find out . but i think it 's safe to assume whoever initiated the virus did n't do it from a prison hospital room . summer : he 's back . noah : marco ? summer : no . ian ward . i just saw him . noah : i thought he was in jail . summer : yeah , well , he escaped . noah , that 's how much he hates us . he escapes from prison , and instead of running away and laying low , he comes here -- to destroy us and to hurt grandpa . noah : well , you know what ? there 's a lot of people that want to hurt grandpa . you know why ? because he does n't give a damn about anyone or anything . summer : what -- what happened ? why are you so mad right now ? victor : so jack abbott and his punk brother are finally arrested ? i 'll be damned . and interpol is doing everything they can to make sure that ashley comes back to america ? good . so the abbotts are about to pay for their crimes . excuse me . phyllis : you need to put the phone down , and you need to hear this . victor : do n't you ever barge into my office and give me orders ! get the hell out of here ! phyllis : i have information about paragon . i have information . you need to hear this . victor : excuse me for a moment . i need to deal with a nuisance here , all right ? i 'll get back to you later . yep . keep me updated on ashley . what is it ? phyllis : ian ward is behind the paragon project . victor : what do you mean , ian ward ? ian ward is in prison . phyllis : ian ward was at chancellor park . my daughter identified him . your granddaughter , who you adore , swore she saw him . from what i hear about this guy , weaseling out of prison is part of his skill set . victor : she saw ian ward ? phyllis : he is behind the virus , victor . he is behind the market fluctuations , the shipping company , not the abbotts . not jack . victor : are you serious ? this is true ? phyllis : it is . and you need to find him . and after what he did to my daughter , however you want to handle him , it works for me . neil : they know you 're here , right here in town . devon and paul , they have enough resources and manpower to look for you house to house if they want to . dylan 's asking questions . everybody 's asking questions . everybody -- everybody wants to find you , understandably so . but they ca n't . they ca n't find you until you wake up . there 's too much , way too much to misinterpret . i have to make a move . i have to make a move . god help us if it 's the wrong one . gwen : emma . emma : hey . gwen : hi . sorry i could n't ask on the phone . emma : oh , it 's okay , but we do need to talk fast because i 'm on break from my shift . gwen : okay . do you remember when your hospital badge went missing ? emma : yeah , and we thought neil did it . gwen : um , did any supplies go missing ? any drugs or painkillers ? emma : some random stuff -- supplies , some tpn . gwen : what 's that ? emma : uh , total parenteral nutrition . it 's iv nutrition for when a patient ca n't eat . but there 's no way to get high off that , so if neil did steal my badge , it was for nothing . victor : and summer is certain this was ian ward ? phyllis : yep . she was practically shaking after she told me . victor : wow . well , he obviously came back into town to wreak havoc . but he 's not gon na do damage to me and my family . phyllis : i think that revenge and justice are awesome , but you know what ? you need to get jack out of jail first . victor : well , how will i do that ? phyllis : because you have to drop the charges , victor . come on . victor : phyllis , if ian ward is indeed roaming the streets , why do i think that he may not be working with the abbotts ? they 're not absolved of any crimes . phyllis : you would n't know about ian ward if i had n't told you . you think it 's just a coincidence he 's walking around now ? no . victor , you owe me . let jack go . adam : [ groans ] [ sighs ] [ sniffs ] hey , ian . you got a choice . you can either help me put an end to this paragon virus , i give you a free pass on the cheap shot , or you can be looking over your shoulder for the rest of your life . but you ca n't run from me . i 'll find you . paul : i 've got some good news for you . that was my contact at the fbi . the computer - fraud charges are being dropped . jack : oh . billy : finally , somebody gets it right . victoria : what happened ? did they find ian ward ? michael : victor had jack and billy arrested . we can assume he had them unarrested , as well . billy : lurch does not get brownie points for this . jack : phyllis forced him to do this . speaking of that , i have to get to phyllis . can we get these off of me ? michael : you heard the chief . my client can walk . jack : thank you . listen , if ian knows we 're on to him , he could panic . i got to get to phyllis . abby : okay , great . so us next ? [ clears throat ] hello ? michael : the federal charges regarding cyber crime have been dropped . what you two tried to pull , that comes under another category . excuse me . billy : those two are the trouble makers . i was trying to go peacefully . abby : seriously ? so you 're just gon na leave us here after we tried to help you ? paul : so ian ward has an unknown chronic condition that gets him sent to the prison hospital . dylan : that 's pretty convenient , huh ? paul : yeah . michael : lots of things can happen during a prisoner transfer . papers can be misfiled , ids switched . paul : we have no idea how long ian has had to , say , brainwash a guard or an orderly . we know that he plays mind games all the time . dylan : and all this going down the same time hilary is missing . ian ward preys on women . michael : that 's his mo . dylan : man , i wish i knew he was a possibility when i got the pilot to talk . paul : hilary is not part of victor 's universe . we all know that victor is the primary target for ian ward . dylan : i know this is a stretch , but we learned hilary is in town the same day we find out ian ward is here . coincidence ? summer : look , i get that you 're still upset with grandpa about trying to scare off marisa , but that does n't mean that he deserves to be attacked . noah : look , that 's not it , okay ? it 's not all of it . summer : okay , so then tell me the rest . [ cell phone chimes ] summer : what -- what -- what 's wrong ? noah : marisa left town . said she 's not coming back . adam : hey , listen , uh , it 's not really a great time . jack : what 's wrong ? are you okay ? adam : yeah . yeah , i 'll be okay . jack : we know who 's behind paragon . adam : who ? jack : fisherman fred ? turns out he 's really ian ward . adam : ian ward ? the cult leader guy ? he 's behind bars . jack : apparently not . adam : he escaped ? he went after victor and nikki . of course . that makes sense . jack : we have to find a way to shut him down before this destroys the newmans and the abbotts . victor : warden , i really do n't care about your regulations , but you 're allowing a known pervert to roam the streets of genoa city and slip through the cracks . he left your prison to endanger everyone in town , including me and my wife . warden : all due respect , mr. newman , you 're wrong . i 'll prove it myself . bring him in here . ian : victor , my friend . to what do i owe the pleasure ? neil : i understand that you 're not based in genoa city , but my wife needs medical transport . her condition requires attention that the doctors here ca n't give her . okay , wait a minute . let me explain something to you . we are private people , all right ? we want her moved with discretion , and we will pay you well . within the hour ? okay . great . [ sighs ] she 'll be ready . [ next_on ] paul : experience tells me that if this person feels as though they 're backed up against the wall , they just might do something even more desperate than they already have . adam : baby , i made a big mistake .
noah confronts victor with marisa 's story . victor and jack are both disappointed to find out marisa did n't keep their secret . they try to convince noah that it 's best for everyone if they do n't know the truth . they are interrupted by federal agents who arrest jack . agents go to jabot to arrest billy . victoria and abby interfere on billy 's behalf , getting themselves arrested also . summer explains what happened with ian ward while phyllis was in a coma . phyllis realizes that ian is behind the paragon project . dylan tells devon that the pilot admitted it was hilary that he flew to dallas and that they flew to genoa city after that . neil is frustrated with the pilot for telling dylan things he was paid to keep secret . neil realizes that he needs to move hilary to another place . gwen shares her concerns about neil with lily and devon . lily thinks neil is just stressed out so he told everyone he was going to new york so he could have some time to himself . gwen thinks it 's more and she follows neil .
<s>[INST] devon : so she 's alive ? hilary is alive ? dylan : and she 's here in town . devon : [ sighs ] paul : listen , we do n't know that for sure . we do n't know anything for sure . but you think the pilot was telling the truth ? dylan : no doubt in my mind that he was . devon : if hilary was on a gurney , then she 's injured or sick . michael : who arranged the flight ? dylan : pilot says he does n't know . he met with emts on the island , got paid in cash . devon : then where was she taken ? is she at a hospital or a clinic ? dylan : the emts picked her up at the airport , so she 's gotten help . at least it 's something . michael : the pilot just went on his way ? that 's blatant negligence . paul : well , if that 's what happened , i want every word , every detail double- checked . michael : there 's another thing to consider . perhaps hilary woke up on her own and arranged her own return to genoa city . devon : she would n't have done that without contacting me . michael : then we need to find out who knew hilary was from genoa city and virgin gorda and why they would return her home without telling anybody . devon : because they 're trying to keep me away from my wife . and whoever is doing that , when i find them , i 'm gon na tear them apart . [ scene_break ] neil : what did i pay you to do ? to fly a plane and keep your mouth shut ! pilot : and i told you that mcavoy guy was in my face . everybody and their brother wants to know where the billionaire 's wife is . it 's all over the news . they 're eyeing the guy for murder charges , and his wife is alive . i 'm not going down for any of this . neil : which is why you need to leave town right now . pilot : and look like i 've got something to hide ? no way . neil : you do have something to hide . you took the money . you did the job . there was no registered flight plan . so you need to leave town until this thing blows over . do you hear me ? pilot : or i cut a deal with the cops and cover my backside . neil : now , that would be a very bad idea . that 's right . you 're wasting my time and yours . leave now . people think i 'm in new york . if this thing unravels , you 're gon na get a slap on the wrist . you know what 's gon na happen to me ? i 'm gon na lose my freedom , and i 'm not gon na allow that to happen . [ scene_break ] victoria : this is outrageous . you ca n't lead him away like a criminal . where 's your warrant ? officer : fbi ordered you picked up on federal cyber charges . billy : what do we got ? yadda , yadda , yadda . `` computer fraud , economic espionage , trespassing against newman enterprises . `` of course . abby : okay , listen , my sister and i are newman enterprises , and this is ridiculous . call the fbi and tell them it was a mistake . billy : guys , this is n't your fault . you got sucked into the victor newman vortex of destruction . officer : we 're bringing you in . abby : no , stop ! this is n't right . i protest . if you take him , you have to take me , too , and you do not want to do that . victor : you 're my family . but i will not allow you to call me or anyone else a liar . do you understand that ? noah : as if that 's the worst part . not that you hired a man that looks just like jack to impersonate him , left jack stranded on a damn island . those are n't bad enough ? jack : wait , wait . where did you get all this from ? noah : you know exactly where i got it from . same woman who saved you on that freighter . jack : i do n't know what marisa told you . noah : what are you gon na say ? you gon na say she made it up , jack ? jack : no , there are different perspectives , noah . noah : that 's right . yeah , i know your perspective . your perspective is to pretend like nothing happened . but there were two jack abbotts in this town , and people deserve to know . they need to know that my grandfather is responsible for putting every single person that i care about in danger . phyllis : fred 's a friend . he 's a widower . summer : mom , that guy is not fred . his name is ian ward . he is a cult leader . phyllis : what are you talking about ? summer : it all happened last year when you were -- when you were gone . phyllis : when i was in a coma ? baby , it 's okay to say i was in a coma . what happened ? summer : i met him here , here in this park . phyllis : fred ? summer : yes . phyllis : what do you mean , you met him here ? did he try to hurt you ? summer : no , no , it was n't physical . you know how lost i was after your accident . and ian seemed to have all the answers for me . he was easy to talk to , he was kind , he was understanding , he was supportive . phyllis : he was an instant friend . oh , my god . summer : mom , mom , ian used to run a cult called the path . he used me by getting close to me so he could blackmail grandma . phyllis : why ? did he want her money ? summer : no , they used to know each other . grandma was in his cult when she was about my age . phyllis : they have a history ? summer : yes , and not a good one . he came to town so he could pretend to be dylan 's father , and then he tried to drug mariah and try to get her to marry him ! phyllis : what ? ! summer : it was disgusting , mom ! they finally locked that psycho up ! i do n't know how he got out ! oh , my god , grandpa is gon na freak out when he finds out . [ sighs ] phyllis : victor . that 's exactly why ian 's here . adam : hey - ey ! boy , you are really something , you know , just rolling around town like someone who 's not supposed to be incarcerated . ian : indeed i am . adam : let me tell you something . if you have some sick desire to go back to three hots and a cot a day , be my guest . ian : [ chuckles ] adam : but you 're not bringing me down with you , okay ? ian : adam , breathe , all right , as i did . i simply went out to get some of that glorious , fresh , autumnal air . adam : autumnal ? ian : uh - huh . adam : ah . okay . you saw phyllis , did n't you ? ian : i thought it would be cruel to abandon her without saying a word . and suspicious , too , do n't you think ? there 's been enough of that going around . adam : meaning what ? ian : somebody poured poison in her ear . they tipped her off that maybe i was behind paragon . you have any idea who would betray me in such an underhanded manner ? neil : hey , go on . get out of here . you 'll know when it 's the right time to come back . pilot : the billionaire 's wife better recover , because if she does n't , i am not going down as an accessory to murder . neil : hey , hey , hey . you do n't say that word . she 's not gon na die . i 'm not gon na allow that . now go on . get out of here . [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] paul : okay , job one . we need to find the pilot before he snakes out of town . dylan : okay , paul , i 'm sorry . i had a shot , and i took it . at least we know that hilary was alive when she landed in genoa city . paul : you know what , dylan ? i hope you 're right , but we do not know that . that 's just speculation . we need confirmation . we need proof . devon : well , then get it . 'cause dylan has gotten us this far . we know she 's here . we know she 's alive . we have to find her now . paul : that 's really hard to do until we find the pilot . michael : if you 'll excuse me . uh , because of the new information about the pilot , christine has informed me that the d.a . 's office will not be pressing assault charges . devon : does that mean i 'm free to go look for hilary ? paul : yeah , go . get out of here . michael : it does not mean you 're free to take the law into your own hands ! and he 's not listening to me . dylan : what do you expect him to do ? sit around and wait for somebody to find his wife ? i could n't do it . could either of you ? paul : okay , i 'm gon na get an apb out on hilary right away , very quietly . no radio broadcasts . i do n't want to tip anyone off and risk hilary 's life . michael : if devon finds hilary , who knows what condition she 'll be in . i can just feel this whole thing spiraling out of control as we speak . if we 're finished here , excuse me . paul : michael , you 're not going anywhere . we have another crisis we have to deal with now . michael : what ? ! billy : abs , thank you . now please shut up . abby : and just let them haul you in ? never ! it 's a miscarriage of justice . victoria : okay , hold on . listen , it 's not the first time that one of us has been arrested . we 'll just get in our car and we 'll follow billy down to the station . we 'll deal with it there , all right ? abby : why ? why should we just accept the status quo ? justice demands us not to sit idly by . billy : where is she getting this from ? victoria : her naked heiress days . she spent a lot of time being indignant , as well as a lot of time being naked . officer : excuse me , ma'am . victoria : do not touch her ! abby : and do n't call me ma'am ! billy : hey , hey , how about we all just settle down here , okay ? victoria : take your hands off of her ! officer : you ca n't do that , lady ! now all of you are under arrest . victoria : what ? billy : nice . fantastic . victoria : that 's great . jack : victor went over the line with marco . no one is questioning this . but it happened to me , noah . to me . no one else . i get to decide who knows this and who does n't . noah : you 're not the only victim here , jack , so stop pretending like you are , okay ? the only reason why you do n't want everybody to know is because the things that you did to stay alive could put you in jail , all right ? jack : we are talking about extradition . we are talking about totally unreliable foreign court systems . i am not about to subject myself to that . noah : sure , of course . to hell with accountability , right ? because the lie is always the fallback for both of you . victor : noah , hold your horses . you do not know the whole story . noah : i know enough . like when you bribed marisa to stay away from me , you did n't do that to protect me . you did it to protect you and all these secrets . victor : listen to me . marisa should never have told you what she knows . you being involved with marco annicelli puts you at risk . that 's enough reason for you to not feel any affection or love for that woman . jack : whoa , whoa , whoa . there your grandfather and i disagree . victor : well , we do . jack : look , i do n't like that marisa told you this , but she 's a good woman and she saved my life . noah : there was a crime lord in town , jack , pretending to be summer 's stepfather . he was using your face , your name . and you do n't have the courage to stand up and let it be known ? jack : wait , wait , wait a minute . i was kept from my wife and my family for months . i 'm not doing that again , not for marco , not for victor , not for you , not for anyone ! this is my call ! this happened to me ! and keeping it close to the vest keeps us free and everyone else safer . that includes marisa . noah : well , unfortunately , that argument does n't work for me because here 's the thing , jack . i do n't give a damn about marisa or anybody else anymore . the only thing that i care about is the truth coming out . and if you 're not gon na make that happen , i am . victor : noah , slow down . you 're not going anywhere . adam : what are you asking me ? if i gave phyllis the heads up ? ian : hmm . adam : yeah . yeah , i did . because you went off script , `` fred . `` i did n't get you out of prison so you could expand your social circle . ian : oh . and it was a lovely perk , too . and no thanks to you , i quashed her concerns handily . adam : hmm . well , maybe for now . but you know what , fred ? phyllis is smart . she 's smart and she 's stubborn . ian : yes , she is . and full of life and fire . adam : okay , listen to me . maybe she does n't know who you are , all right ? but did you ever stop to think , you know , her friends , her family , they know your face , fred . they know your face , and they hate your guts . ian : that 's a toxic emotion , hatred , a prison of the mind . adam : a prison of the mind , yeah . let 's talk about who got you out of actual prison , paid off the right guard , right , got the right inmate to go to your prison hospital bed . who did that ? that was me . i made that happen . ian : did n't i send a thank - you note ? huh ? my bad . adam : listen to me . listen . if the wrong person walks into that hospital , you and i get busted , so here 's what you 're gon na do , all right ? you 're gon na follow this to the `` t. `` you 're gon na go back into that apartment , all right ? you 're gon na go back into that apartment . you 're gon na stay there . and you 're not gon na open the door , not even for takeout . do you understand me ? ian : this is my path to justice and vengeance , all right ? i am the paragon of retribution . adam : yeah , we 've heard all this before , and i 've been listening to it , and i need you to ease up . ian : no , i 'm not gon na ease up ! i sat in that cell , and the one thing that kept me going was the visions of victor suffering , all right ? i want all those visions made real , and i want to watch . adam : okay . we 're pulling the plug on paragon . that 's happening right now . ian : or we could do something else entirely . [ chuckles ] victor : i know all of this is a shock to you , okay ? i 'm sorry you 're to learn all this . but let me tell you something . as head of this family , i 'm always concerned about everyone 's security . if you share this information that you learned today with anyone , you will cause more damage than has already been done . noah : damage to who ? victor : all of us . noah : this lie protects you and jack . that 's it . jack : listen to me , noah . i know how you feel . there were many times i wanted everyone to know . that was my pride and my ego talking . to keep the people safe that we love , we have to keep quiet . noah : because lying equates to love ? jack : no ! because danger still exists . it 's contained , yes , but it still exists . we have to stay quiet . look , your grandfather and i agree on this . that should tell you how important it is . [ knock on door ] noah : i really hope that that 's summer right now , so the both of you can look her in the eye and explain to her exactly why her husband is really dead . victor : this is not summer . it 's the authorities . jack and i may agree on the whole marco annicelli situation , but we disagree about almost everything else . jack : wait a minute . who is at that door ? victor : they 're here to arrest your ass . neil : here we are again . you lay in this bed and me sitting right here begging you to wake up . hey . just open your eyes , and this whole nightmare will end . please . come on . [ cell phone rings ] neil : hello ? gwen : hey . i just wanted to see how your meeting went . neil : yeah , it was fine . it was productive . i was n't sure that i would hear from you today , so , i mean , with the time difference between wisconsin and new york . gwen : yeah . the time difference . neil : yeah , i - i have to run . i 'll be in touch when i get back to town , all right ? gwen : okay . sounds good . lily : hey . what 's wrong ? gwen : it 's neil . the lies just keep piling up , and now it 's about where he is and what he 's doing . lily : where he is ? what do you mean ? he 's not in new york ? gwen : lily , he 's hiding out here in genoa city . ian : your weakness and capitulation is a shame , adam . but paragon can not be contained . adam : sure it can . ian , it 's a bunch of code . it 's numbers on a screen . you hit delete , and the thing is gone . ian : you know , the fear of victor runs so deep in you . if only you and i had met before that infection took root . adam : i 'm not afraid of anyone , let alone victor newman . ian : hmm . adam : i 'll find a way to get to him . i 'll do it without you . ian : you gon na dissolve our alliance ? adam : let me just put it to you in your speak , if i could , okay ? this plan ... ian : yeah ? adam : ... is enabling this rage monster inside of you , this thing that wants to destroy victor newman and everyone and everything around him . what we need to do , ' kay , is breathe . just go ahead and breathe through that . you know what i mean ? so we can adapt and we can transform that rage monster into a beautiful , little butterfly that just flutters in and shuts this thing down , man ! ian : revenge comes at a cost , and deep down , you know that . you got the fear virus got ahold of you , man . adam : let me tell you something . we 're gon na shut down the paragon virus right now . ian : i 'm afraid that 's not possible . along with your fear , the paragon has become its own beast . it wiggles and it weaves of its own accord . i could n't stop it now if i wanted to . and i do n't want to . not one little bit . it 's gon na be a hell of a show , folks . [ laughs ] a hell of a show . jack : i know you think you 're doing your job , but this is victor newman yanking this department 's chain . billy : told them . did n't matter . jack : victor had you arrested , too ? abby : all of us . jack : what the hell is going on here ? billy : well , technically the mustache only had me arrested , but victoria and abby decided to tag along for fun . abby : we were defending his honor . jack : and they said chivalry was dead . victoria : it 's just all a misunderstanding . jack : of course it is . now , we will all walk out of here together the moment the investigator realizes jabot had nothing to do with this paragon virus . billy : yeah , i wonder where they got the idea of our guilt to begin with . paul : oh , victor tipped off the feds . and believe me , if they ordered all these arrests , they have supporting evidence to link the virus to jabot . abby : that ca n't be . billy : no , no , of course not , because victor would never plant evidence or bribe someone or manipulate a situation like this . no . never . dylan : i 'm not a lawyer , but you guys should stop talking . michael : i am a lawyer , and i agree entirely . victoria : michael , can you please get us out of here ? michael : it depends on what you did and who you did it to . abby : there 's a slight possibility that we may have interfered with an officer making an arrest . michael : all right , please , please stop talking . [ chuckling ] you know , for a relatively intelligent family , you 're being very dim . billy : they thought they were helping me . abby : and this is the thanks we get . michael : all right , i might be able to help you two , but federal charges are a separate issue . abby : but we 're his alibi . victoria : we 're his character witnesses . jack : who is getting me out of here ? no one ? oh , this is great . dylan : you guys keep talking like it 's a good idea . michael : the paragon virus came from somewhere , and if the fbi has evidence , it points here . this is where they 're gon na be -- phyllis : you get these cuffs off my husband right now . he is not behind the paragon project . it is all ian ward . lily : wait , my dad did n't go out of town ? so he really is drinking again , then . gwen : i just saw him in the park with another man , and i could n't hear what they were saying , but it was intense . lily : yeah , but you did n't talk to him , so maybe there 's a reason . maybe -- maybe someone canceled or he missed his flight . gwen : i just called him . i gave him a chance to come clean , and he pretended to be in new york . lily : look , i ... i told you to move forward with my dad 'cause i thought he could use the support , but maybe he ca n't handle it . that 's why he lied about being in new york . gwen : i do n't think this was a little lie to avoid seeing me . and between this and him admitting he 's drinking and then secretly working on the lake house ? lily : i know . i think he 's just been really stressed out since hilary went missing . and i thought he was handling it , but obviously he 's not . i just wish that he would help us -- devon : lily , hilary is alive , and she 's here in town . lily : what ? devon : somebody flew her from virgin gorda to dallas to here . she was unconscious , but she 's alive . gwen : where is she ? devon : we do n't know . she 's close by . somebody brought her home . we just have to find her . gwen : wait , when was she flown back to genoa city ? devon : it was the same day she went missing . why ? do you know something ? paul : you know what ? ian ward is in prison . summer : he was strolling through the park right now . paul : you saw him ? summer : yes , i just saw him . i promise you i would n't forget what he looks like . jack : ward contacted you ? phyllis : jack -- jack : i swear , if he said -- as so much as said your name -- phyllis : you were right about fred . he is not some innocent widower fisherman . it was ian trying to fake me out . abby : wait . so he was pretending to be some guy named fred ? how could you not know who he was ? summer : well , my mom was in the coma . we did n't fill her in on what had happened , so she had no idea who she was dealing with . phyllis : yeah , he was completely friendly , tossing wisdom around like it was manure on rose bushes . dylan : well , that 's his game . how 'd he get out of prison ? phyllis : who knows ? but let 's think about the timing . it 's the same night that jack and billy were hauled in for that paragon virus . dylan : so ward is behind the attack on victor . phyllis : yeah . and he 's all too happy to see the abbotts go down for it . paul : you know what ? i would throttle the predator myself if i saw him . but i ca n't release all of you just based on summer 's word . michael : then prepare for me to file brief after brief , because jack and billy abbott are now my clients . paul : michael , hold on to your briefs . i will contact the prison and find out if ian ward is on the loose . and the rest of you , stay put and try not to rack up any more charges while i make the call . jack : we should have told you . i know . you were gone . it was a dark time . summer : it was embarrassing , and it was awful , and i really thought that we were past all of it . phyllis : whether i knew about him or not , when am i such a sucker ? actually fell for the poor guy 's sob story about his late wife . summer : well , ian is an expert at making people trust him . this is not your fault that this happened . jack : he was in our cabin . he 's in our town . he 's free . and i 'm handcuffed and ca n't get out of here . phyllis : look , i do n't know what else i could do to get you out of these charges , honey . i 'm sorry . jack : there 's only one person who can make this end sooner rather than later . noah : one minute you two are on the same side , and the next you 're having the guy hauled off in handcuffs . victor : what the police do is not under my control . noah : and yet you 're probably the reason why jack 's behind a cell right now . victor : you have to understand that jack and the abbotts brought this onto themselves . they introduced a virus into the newman enterprises ' computer system to bring us down . noah : and that 's all that matters , is n't it , is just profit and loss . to hell with human lives . victor : whoa , whoa , whoa , whoa , whoa , whoa , whoa , whoa . you bet i paid attention to profit and loss when i built this company from the ground up . that 's why you were born into the riches you were born into ! noah : i need to know what happened . i need to know the story , okay ? please . what happened ? harding confessed to killing courtney and austin . victor : and he did . noah : why ? for himself ? or was it because him and marco were working together ? victor : noah , i 'm very sorry about all that you know now about all this . wish you did n't . not because it reflects badly on me , but because it puts you in danger . marco annicelli is a bad dude . very , very deeply sorry about what happened to summer 's husband and to your fiancée , courtney . she was a beautiful girl . i wish i could undo it all . but i ca n't . what 's done is done . and i want you to know ... that i regret it deeply . adam : we created the virus . we can kill it . now go get your guy and get it done . ian : you know , it 's magical the way computer technology works . yes , my colleague mapped out all of the ones and the zeroes for the program . but now it 's become a living creature with a mind of its own . we cut it in half , and like a worm , the two halves just keep on moving . it 's twice the chaos . it 's indestructible , really . it 's marvelous . adam : okay , i 've heard about enough of this , all right ? i 'm gon na get my laptop . you 're gon na get yours . we 're gon na put them together , and we 're gon na figure this out . [ grunts ] ian : i told you , adam . i do n't take orders . [ chuckles ] lily : look , we do n't have answers . what we should be asking is who brought hilary home and why did n't they tell anyone ? devon : i do n't know . and it 's driving me crazy , though , that she 's so close and i ca n't get to her . gwen : i hope more than anything that she 's back home safe with you as soon as possible . my thoughts are with both of you . lily : thank you . dylan : thank you . gwen : i 'll let you be alone . lily : thanks . devon : oh , my gosh . i ca n't believe all the time that i 've wasted going back and forth to virgin gorda and sending cane and accusing the cops down there of not doing enough , and she 's been here the whole damn time . lily : listen to me . the important thing is , is that you did n't lose hope . you said that you would know if she was gone , and you 're right . she 's not . devon : i 've always known she 's alive . and she 's here , and i 'm going to find her . dylan : after what ian ward did to nikki and summer ... abby : and mariah , `` here comes the bride . `` no wonder she 's such a freak . victoria : humiliating mom with diaries from when she was young and confused . dylan : and all those claims he was my father . jack : he managed just to get that close to phyllis after nearly brainwashing summer . michael : he 's a menace and conniving enough to execute an elaborate revenge plan , but to get out of prison ? jack : oh , i would n't put anything past him . i 'm sure he convinced that guard that releasing him was part of his path . billy : and launch a sneak attack on newman enterprises , conveniently letting us look like the hacker . paul : okay , whoever summer saw , we ca n't confirm it was ian ward . jack : no , if summer said she saw him , that 's who she saw . paul : well , according to the warden , ian is presently in a prison hospital room being treated for a chronic condition , and he has no computer access . abby : wait , then who was in the park with phyllis ? paul : well , i intend to find out . but i think it 's safe to assume whoever initiated the virus did n't do it from a prison hospital room . summer : he 's back . noah : marco ? summer : no . ian ward . i just saw him . noah : i thought he was in jail . summer : yeah , well , he escaped . noah , that 's how much he hates us . he escapes from prison , and instead of running away and laying low , he comes here -- to destroy us and to hurt grandpa . noah : well , you know what ? there 's a lot of people that want to hurt grandpa . you know why ? because he does n't give a damn about anyone or anything . summer : what -- what happened ? why are you so mad right now ? victor : so jack abbott and his punk brother are finally arrested ? i 'll be damned . and interpol is doing everything they can to make sure that ashley comes back to america ? good . so the abbotts are about to pay for their crimes . excuse me . phyllis : you need to put the phone down , and you need to hear this . victor : do n't you ever barge into my office and give me orders ! get the hell out of here ! phyllis : i have information about paragon . i have information . you need to hear this . victor : excuse me for a moment . i need to deal with a nuisance here , all right ? i 'll get back to you later . yep . keep me updated on ashley . what is it ? phyllis : ian ward is behind the paragon project . victor : what do you mean , ian ward ? ian ward is in prison . phyllis : ian ward was at chancellor park . my daughter identified him . your granddaughter , who you adore , swore she saw him . from what i hear about this guy , weaseling out of prison is part of his skill set . victor : she saw ian ward ? phyllis : he is behind the virus , victor . he is behind the market fluctuations , the shipping company , not the abbotts . not jack . victor : are you serious ? this is true ? phyllis : it is . and you need to find him . and after what he did to my daughter , however you want to handle him , it works for me . neil : they know you 're here , right here in town . devon and paul , they have enough resources and manpower to look for you house to house if they want to . dylan 's asking questions . everybody 's asking questions . everybody -- everybody wants to find you , understandably so . but they ca n't . they ca n't find you until you wake up . there 's too much , way too much to misinterpret . i have to make a move . i have to make a move . god help us if it 's the wrong one . gwen : emma . emma : hey . gwen : hi . sorry i could n't ask on the phone . emma : oh , it 's okay , but we do need to talk fast because i 'm on break from my shift . gwen : okay . do you remember when your hospital badge went missing ? emma : yeah , and we thought neil did it . gwen : um , did any supplies go missing ? any drugs or painkillers ? emma : some random stuff -- supplies , some tpn . gwen : what 's that ? emma : uh , total parenteral nutrition . it 's iv nutrition for when a patient ca n't eat . but there 's no way to get high off that , so if neil did steal my badge , it was for nothing . victor : and summer is certain this was ian ward ? phyllis : yep . she was practically shaking after she told me . victor : wow . well , he obviously came back into town to wreak havoc . but he 's not gon na do damage to me and my family . phyllis : i think that revenge and justice are awesome , but you know what ? you need to get jack out of jail first . victor : well , how will i do that ? phyllis : because you have to drop the charges , victor . come on . victor : phyllis , if ian ward is indeed roaming the streets , why do i think that he may not be working with the abbotts ? they 're not absolved of any crimes . phyllis : you would n't know about ian ward if i had n't told you . you think it 's just a coincidence he 's walking around now ? no . victor , you owe me . let jack go . adam : [ groans ] [ sighs ] [ sniffs ] hey , ian . you got a choice . you can either help me put an end to this paragon virus , i give you a free pass on the cheap shot , or you can be looking over your shoulder for the rest of your life . but you ca n't run from me . i 'll find you . paul : i 've got some good news for you . that was my contact at the fbi . the computer - fraud charges are being dropped . jack : oh . billy : finally , somebody gets it right . victoria : what happened ? did they find ian ward ? michael : victor had jack and billy arrested . we can assume he had them unarrested , as well . billy : lurch does not get brownie points for this . jack : phyllis forced him to do this . speaking of that , i have to get to phyllis . can we get these off of me ? michael : you heard the chief . my client can walk . jack : thank you . listen , if ian knows we 're on to him , he could panic . i got to get to phyllis . abby : okay , great . so us next ? [ clears throat ] hello ? michael : the federal charges regarding cyber crime have been dropped . what you two tried to pull , that comes under another category . excuse me . billy : those two are the trouble makers . i was trying to go peacefully . abby : seriously ? so you 're just gon na leave us here after we tried to help you ? paul : so ian ward has an unknown chronic condition that gets him sent to the prison hospital . dylan : that 's pretty convenient , huh ? paul : yeah . michael : lots of things can happen during a prisoner transfer . papers can be misfiled , ids switched . paul : we have no idea how long ian has had to , say , brainwash a guard or an orderly . we know that he plays mind games all the time . dylan : and all this going down the same time hilary is missing . ian ward preys on women . michael : that 's his mo . dylan : man , i wish i knew he was a possibility when i got the pilot to talk . paul : hilary is not part of victor 's universe . we all know that victor is the primary target for ian ward . dylan : i know this is a stretch , but we learned hilary is in town the same day we find out ian ward is here . coincidence ? summer : look , i get that you 're still upset with grandpa about trying to scare off marisa , but that does n't mean that he deserves to be attacked . noah : look , that 's not it , okay ? it 's not all of it . summer : okay , so then tell me the rest . [ cell phone chimes ] summer : what -- what -- what 's wrong ? noah : marisa left town . said she 's not coming back . adam : hey , listen , uh , it 's not really a great time . jack : what 's wrong ? are you okay ? adam : yeah . yeah , i 'll be okay . jack : we know who 's behind paragon . adam : who ? jack : fisherman fred ? turns out he 's really ian ward . adam : ian ward ? the cult leader guy ? he 's behind bars . jack : apparently not . adam : he escaped ? he went after victor and nikki . of course . that makes sense . jack : we have to find a way to shut him down before this destroys the newmans and the abbotts . victor : warden , i really do n't care about your regulations , but you 're allowing a known pervert to roam the streets of genoa city and slip through the cracks . he left your prison to endanger everyone in town , including me and my wife . warden : all due respect , mr. newman , you 're wrong . i 'll prove it myself . bring him in here . ian : victor , my friend . to what do i owe the pleasure ? neil : i understand that you 're not based in genoa city , but my wife needs medical transport . her condition requires attention that the doctors here ca n't give her . okay , wait a minute . let me explain something to you . we are private people , all right ? we want her moved with discretion , and we will pay you well . within the hour ? okay . great . [ sighs ] she 'll be ready .

[ elevator bell dings ] franco : oh , look who it is -- it 's my elevator bestie . you were in that thing ? nina : yeah , well , not like i have a choice . franco : you are a braver woman than i am , if i were a woman , which i 'm not . nina : you 're not . i am a woman , and i do n't have an option . franco : sticking to that story , huh ? nina : okay . franco : you do n't need to look around like that . i promised i would n't spill your beans , and i still have all of your beans . nina : you know , i 'm really actually glad that i ran into you . franco : actually ? it 's not clear to you that this is the best part of your day ? nina : um ... [ chuckles ] i 've been thinking about you and not just because you know about the situation . but i 've been thinking about you because what did you do ? did you confront your girlfriend , carly , about kissing sonny corinthos ? carly : oh , ma , i do n't want to get into this right now . bobbie : oh , yeah , like i did n't want to get dragged into it last night , but that did n't matter much , did it ? carly : i 'm sorry i involved you . bobbie : you know , i mean , i like pizza and wine as much as the next person . too bad i did n't get to have any . carly : i get it . you 're not happy . i understand , all right ? bobbie : i 'm worried . that 's more what it is . you 're my daughter . i love you . why else would i cover for you with franco ? carly : i appreciate it . i really do . bobbie : but you know what ? he is scott 's son . i mean , that hardly makes me his biggest fan , but i was always under the impression that you were . carly : i am . bobbie : well , then , why are you sneaking around behind his back , and with sonny , of all people ? sonny : first of all , i trust you . i know you would n't go against me . but you 're making yourself real vulnerable with jordan . you know that , right ? shawn : yeah , yeah . we 're taking every precaution . sonny : good . shawn : that it ? sonny : you got something else to say ? shawn : no , no , i 'm just , uh ... i 'm just a little surprised you 're being so understanding about this . sonny : well , i 'm in no position to judge . shawn : meaning ? sonny : complete honesty ? shawn : yeah , absolutely . i 'm all for it . sonny : while you were in bed with jordan ... i was in bed with carly . ned : obviously , luke is pulling mother 's strings , so the quartermaines ca n't him anywhere near our business or our home . alexis : oh , i think luke 's interest in elq is fairly recent , but as far as the house goes , technically , he 's spent more time there than you have in the last 10 years . ned : yes , but back then , he was a freeloader . he was like an expensive hobby . cost my mother a fortune , but he kept her amused . that 's not who luke is now . he 's threatening , even malevolent . alexis : oof ! ouch . ned : i know you have a soft spot for this guy -- alexis : well , yes , but i trust your instincts implicitly . almost implicitly . look , if you think that this has to be done , then i trust that you will handle it . you 'll get it done because you are the most pragmatic guy that i know . the paragon of gatekeepers . ned : takes one to know one . alexis : mm . ned : how are you doing , anyway ? i , of course , heard about the fire in your house . i called and left a message on your cell . alexis : well , i 'm sorry i did n't call you back . ned : oh , no . no need to apologize . i 'm just worried about you . alexis : well , you know , we lost things . we did n't lose our lives . ned : still , it had to be a shock . alexis : it was -- it is . i honestly have not been able to process it at all . i -- i ... just felt nothing . i stared at my house and watched it burn down . i had to meet with the insurance adjuster . nothing . i 'd just stare at the rubble . i did n't even bother to sort through anything . i just -- i - i ca n't process that what i actually saw actually happened . ned : did they find what caused it ? alexis : well , nothing confirmed , but they -- they feel almost certain that there was some explosive device that was planted by this guy named mickey diamond . ned : mickey diamond . are you sure ? alexis : yeah . do you -- do you know him ? ned : alice has his heart . alexis : what ? ned : he was n't an organ donor , but his estranged sister showed up in the final hour , gave permission . alexis : this is crazy . well -- [ clears throat ] at least there was something good that he did . ned : yeah , her family owes jordan ashford a debt of gratitude . alexis : jordan ash -- she 's the one who shot him . julian : i have guards posted out there for a reason . jordan : oh , relax . you guards did their job . i simply reminded them that i work for you , and their job is to keep out intruders , not business associates . what 's wrong ? are you -- are you talking to someone ? do n't tell me this is like a private party . [ chuckles ] are you , like , surfing the internet for some companionship , julian ? playing a little chat roulette ? [ both chuckle ] jordan : so , who was it ? do n't tell me -- an exotic dancer getting off of her shift . julian : mm . jordan : no ? um ... a stay - at - home mom maybe , just doing the school run . or maybe ... maybe it was luke spencer . ned : i assume mr. diamond had a connection with julian ? alexis : yep . was a business associate . ned : mm . alexis : really , he stepped in after ric was killed . ned : so , what -- he tried to strong - arm julian back into the business ? alexis : turns out , julian never left . julian : luke spencer . and where would you get an idea like that ? jordan : from mickey diamond . julian : mickey 's dead . i would know . i killed him . jordan : are you forgetting that i was also there ? right after you shot him and left the metro , his phone rang . i answered it . julian : why ? jordan : because i figured it might be the boss with some questions . julian : and was it ? jordan : i -- i ca n't say for certain . as soon as he realized that i was n't mickey , he hung up . but , uh ... i thought i recognized his voice . julian : as luke spencer 's ? hmm . all from a two - second call . jordan : well , i mean , he does have a very distinctive pitch , and it 's not like i have n't seen him in action before . guy was all over the nurses ' ball with his number and getting married in front of us and -- and not to mention , i met him a couple of times at the gallery , remember ? julian : mm . jordan : when he was with you . so , am i right ? is luke our boss ? is he the one trying to take down sonny corinthos ? shawn : you and carly . sonny : yeah . you know what ? i usually do n't talk about my personal life , but you 're kind of the only one i can talk to right now -- the only one who understands what 's going on so ... shawn : well , hey , it makes sense . you know , you are carly are gon na be spending more time together . sonny : well , um ... last night , things kind of came to a head . shawn : was it a one - time thing ? sonny : well , that remains to be seen . shawn : [ chuckles ] so , what about this , uh ... franco problem ? franco : and that 's it . carly claims that she pushed sonny away . that was the end of it . nina : `` claims `` ? oh , you do n't believe her . franco : of course i do . what , you do n't ? nina : it very well could be true . as i told you , when i saw the kiss happening , i left . franco : exactly . she 's telling the truth . nina : good . franco : [ laughs ] nina : what ? it 's good . i 'm glad you worked it out . it 's fantastic . so you and carly can put it to bed . franco : yeah , well , that 's not exactly what happened , though . carly : sonny 's been having a rough time lately . bobbie : oh , so what else is new ? carly : mom . bobbie : okay . i 'm sorry . go on . carly : well , i 've just been there for him lately , and we 've gotten close . bobbie : how close ? carly : well , until last night , `` two parents who support each other and lean on each other `` kind of close . bobbie : okay . well , that does n't sound so bad . carly : well , it -- it -- it was n't . until it was , okay ? you do n't understand . i have really been trying to keep him at arm 's length . i have . i mean , especially after the first time he kissed me . bobbie : i thought last night was the first time . carly : it was just one time before that , and i -- i stopped it immediately . bobbie : and last night ? oh , god . carly : last night was different , you know ? sonny showed up , and it started to rain ... bobbie : who cares what the weather was doing ? carly : and then franco called and said he could n't come home . he was stuck in an elevator . and i do n't know . we started drinking wine . carly : oh , you and sonny , drinking wine ... carly : and he told me he wanted me , and we ... went to bed , and ... then ... well , franco was n't supposed to come home , but then he did , and you know everything that happened after that . bobbie : actually , no , i do n't , because while i was upstairs stalling franco , you went outside with sonny , so ... what did you tell him ? carly : i told him to leave . i told him to leave , it was mistake , there was no `` us , `` and there was never , ever going to be an `` us . `` bobbie : did you mean it ? sabrina : rafe . that 's who ran us off the road ? patrick : yes . sabrina : but he was just a kid . and then you operated on him ? why ? how did he end up as your patient ? patrick : when he found out that we were onto him , that we knew it was him , and the police were coming after him , he ran , he took off , and there was a car chase . sabrina : oh , my god . patrick : he ended up getting in an accident on his own . molly was in the car with him . sabrina : molly -- was she hurt ? patrick : no , she 's -- well , she had some bumps and bruises , but she 's fine now . rafe , on the other hand , he was pretty banged up , and he needed immediate surgery . sabrina : i just ca n't believe they asked you to operate on him , knowing what you knew . patrick : believe me , i didn -- i did n't want to . and i fought obrecht on it . but it was 4th of july , it was holiday rotation , and ... sabrina : still . patrick : ... i was the only surgeon left there . i know , but if i did n't do it , rafe was gon na die . he needed immediate surgery , and so i did it . and , yes , for a split second , i wondered , `` what if ? `` right there , i could avenge gabriel . take a life for a life . but i did n't . i did everything i could to save the patient . sabrina : of course you did . who would ever believe otherwise ? patrick : for starters , silas clay . silas : the night of the accident , rafe came to the hospital and ... said he needed $ 400 . sam : and did you give it to him ? silas : no . sam : okay . well , what did he say that he needed it for ? silas : camping trip . never occurred to me that he was lying and he wanted to use the money for drugs . sam : look , it did n't occur to either of us , silas . silas : i told him , you know , it was a lot of money and that we should talk about it , and ... we were supposed to meet for dinner . sam : and he took off before that could ever happen . i do n't understand . i just -- i do n't understand how he got the money , then . silas : molly was with him in the car . is there any way she could have gotten the cash ? sam : no , she would 've had to have asked my mom , and my mom would 've said something to me . silas : well , then i 'm at a loss . i have no idea , you know ? the only people he could 've turned to was -- was us . sam : no , wait a minute . there is somebody else . i mean , rafe came back here first , right ? silas : mm - hmm . sam : silas ... maybe he got the money from nina . sabrina : dr. clay accused you of deliberately leaving rafe brain - dead ? patrick : he did n't think i should do the surgery in the first place . sabrina : well , yeah , neither did you , but somebody had to do it . patrick : yeah , i know . needless to say , it was contentious between us . sabrina : when is it gon na end ? first gabriel , and now this boy , too ? i mean ... patrick : you 're being much more sympathetic towards rafe than i was . sabrina : he was just a scared , confused teenager yeah , i mean , he should 've stopped to help , but it 's not like he did it on purpose . oh , my god . what ? do n't tell me that he was drinking and driving or something . patrick : no . he , uh ... he was on drugs , but he told molly that he was n't high the night of the accident -- of our accident . sabrina : he told that to molly . patrick : molly said that he started taking drugs after just to cope . sabrina : okay . so then it really was just a senseless mistake ? was n't it ? patrick , you 're scaring me . patrick : [ breathes deeply ] there 's something else i have n't told you , but i literally just found this information out . sabrina : okay . patrick : right before rafe and molly crashed , rafe told her that someone put him up to running us off the road . silas : why would nina give rafe $ 500 ? sam : i 'm just trying to put together a timeline here . nina and rosalie were the last two people to see rafe before he took off with molly . silas : right . when rafe knocked nina down . sam : well , do you think he stole the money ? silas : look , i do n't even think she has that kind of money lying around here , all right ? i mean , her funds have been frozen ever since her mother had those legal troubles . sam : well , i do n't think rosalie has that kind of money lying around , either . silas : so now you 're back to nina . sam : no , i 'm going over every scenario . that 's what you do when you 're doing an investigation . silas : well , thank you for enlightening me on what an investigation entails , because for a minute there , it started to feel like a witch hunt . sam : silas ... silas : you 've been trying to make nina out to be the bad guy in all this . sam : no , i 'm just trying to do my job . silas : okay . i know you do n't like her . but nina 's not responsible for every bad thing that happens in this town . nina : no . franco : yep . nina : you looked under the bed ? franco : closet , too . nina : oh , closet , too ? franco : oh , and there it is . nina : what ? franco : the look -- like i 'm crazy . nina : look ? no . i -- i do n't think you 're crazy . franco : you do n't ? nina : no , definitely not . i mean , i think you 're impulsive and jealous , definitely . franco : yeah . nina : yeah . but not crazy . i mean , i would 've done the same thing . franco : really ? nina : mm - hmm . yeah . i 'm envious , actually . i should 've been more vigilant 25 years ago . otherwise , i would n't have been so blindsided when silas was cheating on me . franco : oh , gee , thanks . that makes me feel a lot better . nina : that 's not gon na happen to you . you have nothing to worry about . franco : nothing to worry about . nina : yeah , i mean , hey , come on . look at me . just because silas was lying to me does n't mean that carly is lying to you . carly : of course i meant it . i also meant it when i told sonny that nothing was gon na happen to begin with . bobbie : are you saying you want to be with sonny ? carly : well , he 's certainly saying he wants to be with me . but you know what , mom ? i 'm telling you , sonny just kissed me to prove a point . bobbie : about what ? carly : does it matter ? you know how sonny gets . sonny was determined to prove that he knows me better than i know myself , so he kissed me , and ... and the way it felt , it surprised us both . i mean , i thought that attraction , all that stuff , i thought it was behind us . bobbie : are you saying that now it 's not ? carly : i do n't know ! i do n't know what i 'm saying . i just -- i know that kissing sonny and sleeping with sonny felt wrong . it felt wrong , but then sonny says that wrong has always been right for us , and all i know is i 'm a deceitful , horrible , awful person . bobbie : no , you are not . although you do seem a little lost . and you have for a while . ever since ... carly : do n't stop there . just say it , you know ? `` ever since jason died . `` bobbie : i just do n't want to see you trade in one mistake for another . carly : franco 's not a mistake . bobbie : is n't he ? honey , my advice is , take a deep breath and think about what you 're doing . because let 's face it -- franco and sonny are both volatile . you are playing with fire , and i do n't want to see you get burned . shawn : look , we both know franco is a wild card . sonny : he 's a lunatic . shawn : and if he finds out about you and carly , i would n't put it past him to go after her . sonny : let him try . shawn : and there is what he knows about you . sonny : yeah , that 's a problem . but that 's what i got you for , right ? shawn : right . we both , uh -- you know , we talked about taking franco out a while ago , but you were n't too sure about your decision . are you saying you ... you 're ready for it now ? julian : [ laughing ] i 'm sorry . jordan : you find this funny . julian : i do , yeah . um -- [ chuckles ] luke spencer was at the art gallery because he was buying art . did n't you commission one of his sales ? jordan : [ chuckles ] yeah . what was i thinking ? i mean , because no shady dealings have ever been covered up by a purchase before . julian : [ chuckles ] well , not in this instance . jordan : you sure ? julian : i 'm sure . jordan : okay . because -- and maybe my memory is a little fuzzy but the first time luke was there when i caught you guys -- well , i 'm sorry -- when i saw you there with him , uh , something strange happened after he left . julian : and what was that ? jordan : i noticed a briefcase . in fact , it was the same briefcase that i 'd given you the night before , stuffed to the gills with drug money . julian : so ? jordan : so , i remember being a little surprised , you know ? that you could be so cavalier to just leave it out in the open like that . but maybe -- maybe i misread the situation , you know ? maybe , uh -- maybe you were about to hand that money off to luke when my interruption got in the way . julian : [ sighs ] look . i swear to you , on my children 's lives , my grandson , and everyone else i hold dear ... the man you heard on the phone is not luke spencer . jordan : then who is he ? julian : our boss is not luke spencer . and we 're not discussing it any further . you may not understand that , but believe me when i tell you , it 's to your benefit that we do n't . jordan : fair enough . hey , you ca n't blame a girl for trying , right ? julian : i get that . i mean , it 's got to be incredibly frustrating not knowing who you answer to . jordan : well , you know , it 's more than that . i want in . i want to play with the big boys . julian : i understand that , but believe me when i tell you , you do not want to get close to this guy . he 's already cost me my relationship with alexis . ned : did julian admit to still being in the business ? alexis : he 's in it up to his neck . i broke things off with him for good . i had to . ned : i 'm sorry . alexis : no , you 're not . ned : you 're right . i 'm not sorry you 're away from that drug dealer . but i am sorry you 're in pain . alexis : thank you . ned : alexis ... you really do deserve better . alexis : that 's what i keep saying to myself . and during the day , i almost believe it . ned : almost ? alexis : all that moral certainty and the conviction that what i 'm doing is right ... does n't keep me warm at night . sabrina : this just keeps getting worse and worse . so , somebody wanted us to get into an accident ? somebody want -- somebody wanted us to get hurt . patrick : it looks that way . sabrina : yeah . who ? why ? we have n't done anything to anybody . patrick : i do n't know . believe me , i 've been thinking about it nonstop , and i still do n't know . hopefully , sam will get to the bottom of it . sam : this is not getting us anywhere . silas : no , it 's not . i 'm sorry . nina 's obviously a touchy subject . sam : okay . well , let 's avoid it from now on . let 's see if rafe 's phone is actually charged up . maybe we can stop speculating and find out whose orders rafe was actually following . nina : okay . well , i got to keep moving . um , excuse me . p.t . calls . franco : oh , really ? since when do you go to physical therapy ? nina : um , since silas found out that i was skipping it . franco : for the record , he did n't hear that from me . nina : no , he did n't hear it from you , 'cause he heard it from me . i had to tell him something when he overheard us talking about the secret that we were sharing . franco : overheard us ? nina : yeah . um ... so what i told him is i 'd been seeing you instead of going to physical therapy . franco : right . that 's better than saying that you can walk . nina : yeah . shh . got to keep up the front . franco : right . so you can blindside silas the same way he blindsided you . nina : i do n't ... know what that means . turnabout is fair play . shawn : it 's your call . do you want me to do something about franco ? carly : sonny , we have to talk and get this ... straight . sorry , uh , for interrupting . shawn : oh , no , no . i , uh ... was just , uh -- was just about to leave . sonny : yeah , stay on that thing with ava , 'cause you know how important that is , right ? shawn : oh , yeah . will do . sonny : okay . carly : hey . sonny : well , this is a nice surprise . what brings you by ? [ next_on ] sam : ( to silas ) i think i 've got something . patrick : ( to sabrina ) i ca n't talk to you about this . i 'm sorry . nina : ( to rosalie ) ava jerome is knocked up ! ava : ( to julian ) he wants me to call michael corinthos . franco : ( to michael and morgan ) there 's no way anything would happen between carly and sonny . morgan : you sure about that ? ( sonny and carly kiss in his office )
shawn and jordan woke up at her place . they reluctantly parted ways and went to work . shawn told sonny he 'd been secretly seeing jordan . sonny did n't mind . he confided that he 'd slept with carly . they thought about how franco would react if he found out , and shawn asked if sonny wanted him to kill franco . fake luke contacted julian and revealed that he had given ava orders to do something that would upset sonny . fluke insisted that ava not be told he was n't really luke . jordan walked in and nearly caught julian and fluke video chatting , but fluke turned off the monitor before she saw him . jordan told julian about hearing luke 's voice when she answered mickey 's phone . she asked if luke was their boss , and julian said no . julian told her she 'd be safer if she did n't know the boss 's name . sabrina recovered enough to return to port charles . she visited patrick and was stunned when he told her that he 'd been fired and that someone had convinced to rafe to run them off the road . alexis visited alice at gh . ned told alexis that he and monica kicked tracy out of the house because she was in cahoots with luke . alexis told ned that she ended things with julian because he was still in the mob . alexis admitted she was lonely after the break up .
<s>[INST] jordan : um ... you see that bright stuff coming through the window right there ? that 's the real world . shawn : no . jordan : mm - hmm . shawn : no , no , no , no . come on , come on . jordan : yeah , you -- you have to get back to working for sonny . shawn : oh , yeah . and you have to get back for , um ... whoever it is you work for . [ ringing ] hey . julian : how did i know it was gon na be you ? fluke : did i catch you at a bad time ? julian : it 's early . fluke : i thought you 'd want to greet this glorious day sooner rather than later . julian : what 's with the good mood ? what 's going on ? fluke : if all goes according to plan , i 'm about to give sonny corinthos a very bad day . [ laughing ] sonny : [ sighs ] [ ringtone plays ] carly : [ sighs ] sonny : [ sighs ] [ door closes ] nina : okay . i wrote the stupid text . now how do i send it ? oh , come on ! seriously ? silas : what 're you doing there ? nina : oh . the -- the phone is being very mean to me . silas : oh . should i put it in a time - out ? nina : just , i 'm trying to figure out ... how to send the text , you know ? i 'm getting used to this text thing . silas : who texted you ? want me to look ? [ knock on door ] silas i 'll be right back . one sec . [ doorbell rings ] patrick : [ sighs ] patrick : sabrina . sabrina : hey . patrick : hi . i , uh -- i thought you were still in puerto rico . sabrina : no , i just got back . patrick : oh . well , hey , welcome home . sabrina : oh . thank you . is , uh -- is emma here ? patrick : no , she 's not . i , uh , just dropped her off at camp . sabrina : oh . patrick : but she 's gon na be very excited to see you , as i am . please , come in . so , uh ... wow . how , uh -- how -- how are you doing ? sabrina : no , i 'm better . yeah , no , seeing my family was exactly what i needed . patrick : good , good . and you feel that you , uh ... you had enough time to ... sabrina : oh , yeah , yeah . more than enough time , yeah . with all of my stockpiled personal days and epiphany in my corner , it feels like i got a nice , long break . patrick : good . sabrina : but now it 's time to get back to work . god knows obrecht will agree . she probably does n't even understand why i had to leave in the first place . patrick : yeah , no , probably not . sabrina : yeah . guess i 'm lucky i still even have a job . i mean , honestly , i would n't put it past that woman to fire someone just for doing something she did n't agree with . patrick : yeah , funny you should mention that . [ elevator bell dings ] alexis : speak of the devil . ned : you 're the reason my ears were burning . alexis : no , you just have hot ears . ned : [ chuckles ] that 's what they tell me . alexis : so , i just came from visiting alice , and when i asked her where you were , she got very quiet , and she said , `` probably dealing with miss tracy . `` ned : yeah . she was right . alexis : what 's going on ? ned : monica and i kicked her out of the house . alexis : tracy -- your mother ? you kicked your mother out of the house ? ned : the one and only . turns out , you were right . alexis : dare i ask about what ? ned : luke . he and mother are still thick as thieves . alexis : mm . so the annulment papers are -- ned : fake . as fake as her story about him cheating on her . alexis : i did my best to authenticate them . they really did check out . ned : oh , i 'm sure they did . believe me , this is n't on you . the only person responsible for all this -- luke spencer . julian : well , i 'm all for giving sonny a bad day . what did you have in mind ? fluke : nothing to worry your pretty little head about . it 's all in the works . i 've been talking to your charming little sister . julian : and when did this come about ? fluke : last night , when i decided to wish the lady a happy birthday , which you missed , by the way . soon as we 're through here , you might want to get on the internet and send the lady some flowers . julian : yeah . sure . i 'll get right on that . fluke : i must say , i enjoy that ava . and , you know , i think she enjoys me , too . [ chuckles ] of course , she thinks i 'm luke spencer . let 's keep it that way . julian : all right , just cut to the chase . what did you tell ava to do to sonny ? fluke : i am about to hit corinthos where he lives . [ door opens ] shawn : i thought we were gon na meet at kelly 's to strategize what we were gon na do about ava . sonny : we were , but when i got there , t.j. said you had n't come back yet from last night . carly : there 's coffee in the kitchen . you 're safe -- i did n't make it . my mom did . franco : oh , thank you , but i do n't think i have time . carly : you going to work ? franco : yeah . carly : have a good day . franco : yeah , i 'm -- i 'm sorry . carly : oh , franco . franco : i -- i know . i just want to say it again -- i 'm sorry for last night . i was a crazy person . i see two glasses of wine , and i just -- that does n't give me the right to go looking under your bed to see if sonny 's there . carly : it 's okay . franco : it 's not okay . carly : yes , it is . you 've already apologized . franco : yeah , but you said it was bobbie 's , and i should 've believed you , and instead , i let my imagination run wild , and -- carly : do n't worry about it . i just want to forget . franco : an excuse . but , really , i wish that nina had never seen you and sonny kissing at all . sam : oh , sorry if i 'm interrupting . nina : no , it 's fine . we were having breakfast . silas : is everything okay ? sam : um , actually , i needed to speak with you alone . it 's -- it 's important . nina : why did you just barge in here ? sam : because i had to tell silas something -- about you . unless you have a problem with that . nina : oh , um , well ... actually , i do . you 're in my home , and silas is my husband . and anything that you say to him , you can say in front of me . unless , of course , you have a problem with that . sabrina : wait . obrecht fired you ? wait . okay . so you do n't work at g.h . anymore ? patrick : i 'm appealing to the board , but , no , i do n't . sabrina : how could she do that ? patrick : well , she is the chief of staff . sabrina : that 's not what i mean . i mean , you 're one of the top neurosurgeons in the country . how could she fire you ? she 's -- she 's crazy . she 's not stupid . patrick : i guess , uh , our differences trump my surgical abilities . sabrina : you mean what happened with robin . patrick : it 's definitely part of it . sabrina : well , i do n't care . i mean , she ca n't just up and fire you for no reason . patrick : sabrina , she , uh ... she had a reason . one of my patients was left brain - dead . sabrina : i 'm sorry . patrick : so am i . sabrina : but that happens , unfortunately . and obrecht ca n't fire you because one patient did n't make it . patrick : there 's an accusation that i made it happen . sabrina : that 's insane ! you 'd never do anything like that . patrick : no . but i considered it . patient was lying there , completely vulnerable , in my hands , and the thought crossed my mind . sabrina : why ? patrick : because of what he did to gabriel . sam : yes , you are silas ' wife , but married couples have separate conversations all the time , and this has absolutely nothing to do with you . nina : what does it have to do with ? sam : rafe , and it 's none of your business . nina : why is that none of my business . rafe was my nephew , too , through marriage . sam : please , you barely even knew him . silas : all right , it 's all right . nina : i 'm sorry . i was just trying to point out that rafe was my -- silas : i understand . i understand , but you have to get going anyway . rosalie 's probably waiting for you downstairs , and you 've missed enough physical therapy as it is . nina : one more day wo n't matter . silas : oh , but it does . if you want to get better , you need to be diligent about this . nina : okay . i will see you later . silas : okay . sam : have a good session . nina : thanks . silas : thank you . sam : i , uh -- i do n't understand . if she 's missing physical therapy ... i thought she wanted to get stronger . silas : nina 's been doing a kind of alternative therapy . sam : oh , yeah ? what kind ? silas : art therapy with franco . carly : forget telling you about it . i wish nina had never seen the kiss . hell , i wish the kiss had never even happened . franco : yeah , that , too . carly : i pushed sonny away . i physically pushed him . franco : i believe you , i do . i know it 's hard for you to believe , given my rifling through your bedroom , but ... i do believe you , and i am so sorry . carly : oh , please do n't say that anymore . you do n't have to say that . franco : okay . let me put it to you this way . i 'd like to make it up to you . carly : you do n't have to . franco : i want to . i do . soon as i 'm home from work . [ chuckles ] carly : i 'll see you later . franco : okay . [ door closes ] bobbie : so ... carly : oh , god , mom ! you scared the life out of me ! bobbie : now that you are done lying to franco , maybe you will finally tell me the truth . what the hell is going on between you and sonny ? sonny : i 'm giving you a hard time . it 's not my business what you do off the clock . it 's just , i do n't know why t.j. told me . because , i mean , what -- i make him nervous or something ? shawn : well , yeah , i think you might have a right to be concerned about where i spent the night last night . sonny : why is that ? shawn : i was with jordan . yeah , it 's been going on for the past couple of weeks , and t.j . does n't know about it , and his mom and i want to -- you know , we both want to keep it that way . sonny : you 're not sure how t.j. 's gon na take it ? shawn : well , i was n't actually sure how you were gon na take it , either , you know ? considering who jordan works for . julian : all right , i 'll admit it -- you 've got my attention . so , you gon na tell me what 's going on , or are you gon na keep it between you and my little sister ? fluke : that would depend on your willingness to -- [ door opens ] julian : jordan , how the hell did you get in here ? sabrina : i do n't believe this . so you know who ran us off the road , who caused our accident , who caused our little boy to ... patrick : yes . after you left for puerto rico , sam morgan agreed to help me find out what happened . we investigated -- she investigated , and she found out who caused our accident . sabrina : how long ? patrick : how long did it take to -- sabrina : no , how long have you known ? patrick : it 's been a while . sabrina : why did n't you call me ? patrick : i did n't know what to do . i - i talked to felix about it . sabrina : oh , felix . okay . patrick : do n't be mad at him , okay ? i practically begged him not to say anything . sabrina : yeah , but , patrick , why ? this is my son we 're talking about . you did n't -- you did n't think that i had the right to know ? patrick : no , of course . sabrina , of course i did . i just ... losing gabriel almost pushed you to the edge . sabrina : oh , okay . patrick : that 's not a judgment . believe me -- i know the pain that you were going through , but i did n't know if telling you was going to make it better , and i did n't want to risk making it worse . sabrina : well , i -- i ca n't say how i would 've felt then . but i can now , so ... tell me . who took our son from us ? patrick : [ breathes deeply ] his name was rafe kovich ... dr. clay 's nephew . silas : so i guess this is about rafe and drake 's accident . sam : yeah , patrick asked me to find out who put rafe up to running his family off the road , and i thought maybe i could go through his things , if that 's okay with you . silas : the kid did n't really have much . sam : um , i was actually looking , uh , forward to going through his cell phone . i mean , i know you have all of his stuff . epiphany told me that she gave it to you . silas : to be honest , i have n't really had the heart to go through any of that yet . sam : i 'm sorry . look , if you want to do this another time , i ... silas : no , it 's okay . just wait here . sam : okay . thank you . you 're right . he did n't have much . oh , here we go . i do n't know why i expected it to turn on . my battery dies like every couple hours . silas : thought you were gon na get a new one . sam : yeah , no , i was . i just -- i have n't really ... silas : gotten around to it yet ? sam : yeah . anyway , um ... silas : here , let me see . yeah . yeah , you could use that . sam : oh . plug 's over there . silas : this is rafe 's wallet . sam : anything unusual ? silas : yeah , you could say that . sam : whoa . silas : there 's 500 bucks in here . sam : 500 bucks ? are you serious ? silas : where would rafe get that kind of money ? [ elevator bell dings ] franco : oh , look who it is -- it 's my elevator bestie . you were in that thing ? nina : yeah , well , not like i have a choice . franco : you are a braver woman than i am , if i were a woman , which i 'm not . nina : you 're not . i am a woman , and i do n't have an option . franco : sticking to that story , huh ? nina : okay . franco : you do n't need to look around like that . i promised i would n't spill your beans , and i still have all of your beans . nina : you know , i 'm really actually glad that i ran into you . franco : actually ? it 's not clear to you that this is the best part of your day ? nina : um ... [ chuckles ] i 've been thinking about you and not just because you know about the situation . but i 've been thinking about you because what did you do ? did you confront your girlfriend , carly , about kissing sonny corinthos ? carly : oh , ma , i do n't want to get into this right now . bobbie : oh , yeah , like i did n't want to get dragged into it last night , but that did n't matter much , did it ? carly : i 'm sorry i involved you . bobbie : you know , i mean , i like pizza and wine as much as the next person . too bad i did n't get to have any . carly : i get it . you 're not happy . i understand , all right ? bobbie : i 'm worried . that 's more what it is . you 're my daughter . i love you . why else would i cover for you with franco ? carly : i appreciate it . i really do . bobbie : but you know what ? he is scott 's son . i mean , that hardly makes me his biggest fan , but i was always under the impression that you were . carly : i am . bobbie : well , then , why are you sneaking around behind his back , and with sonny , of all people ? sonny : first of all , i trust you . i know you would n't go against me . but you 're making yourself real vulnerable with jordan . you know that , right ? shawn : yeah , yeah . we 're taking every precaution . sonny : good . shawn : that it ? sonny : you got something else to say ? shawn : no , no , i 'm just , uh ... i 'm just a little surprised you 're being so understanding about this . sonny : well , i 'm in no position to judge . shawn : meaning ? sonny : complete honesty ? shawn : yeah , absolutely . i 'm all for it . sonny : while you were in bed with jordan ... i was in bed with carly . ned : obviously , luke is pulling mother 's strings , so the quartermaines ca n't him anywhere near our business or our home . alexis : oh , i think luke 's interest in elq is fairly recent , but as far as the house goes , technically , he 's spent more time there than you have in the last 10 years . ned : yes , but back then , he was a freeloader . he was like an expensive hobby . cost my mother a fortune , but he kept her amused . that 's not who luke is now . he 's threatening , even malevolent . alexis : oof ! ouch . ned : i know you have a soft spot for this guy -- alexis : well , yes , but i trust your instincts implicitly . almost implicitly . look , if you think that this has to be done , then i trust that you will handle it . you 'll get it done because you are the most pragmatic guy that i know . the paragon of gatekeepers . ned : takes one to know one . alexis : mm . ned : how are you doing , anyway ? i , of course , heard about the fire in your house . i called and left a message on your cell . alexis : well , i 'm sorry i did n't call you back . ned : oh , no . no need to apologize . i 'm just worried about you . alexis : well , you know , we lost things . we did n't lose our lives . ned : still , it had to be a shock . alexis : it was -- it is . i honestly have not been able to process it at all . i -- i ... just felt nothing . i stared at my house and watched it burn down . i had to meet with the insurance adjuster . nothing . i 'd just stare at the rubble . i did n't even bother to sort through anything . i just -- i - i ca n't process that what i actually saw actually happened . ned : did they find what caused it ? alexis : well , nothing confirmed , but they -- they feel almost certain that there was some explosive device that was planted by this guy named mickey diamond . ned : mickey diamond . are you sure ? alexis : yeah . do you -- do you know him ? ned : alice has his heart . alexis : what ? ned : he was n't an organ donor , but his estranged sister showed up in the final hour , gave permission . alexis : this is crazy . well -- [ clears throat ] at least there was something good that he did . ned : yeah , her family owes jordan ashford a debt of gratitude . alexis : jordan ash -- she 's the one who shot him . julian : i have guards posted out there for a reason . jordan : oh , relax . you guards did their job . i simply reminded them that i work for you , and their job is to keep out intruders , not business associates . what 's wrong ? are you -- are you talking to someone ? do n't tell me this is like a private party . [ chuckles ] are you , like , surfing the internet for some companionship , julian ? playing a little chat roulette ? [ both chuckle ] jordan : so , who was it ? do n't tell me -- an exotic dancer getting off of her shift . julian : mm . jordan : no ? um ... a stay - at - home mom maybe , just doing the school run . or maybe ... maybe it was luke spencer . ned : i assume mr. diamond had a connection with julian ? alexis : yep . was a business associate . ned : mm . alexis : really , he stepped in after ric was killed . ned : so , what -- he tried to strong - arm julian back into the business ? alexis : turns out , julian never left . julian : luke spencer . and where would you get an idea like that ? jordan : from mickey diamond . julian : mickey 's dead . i would know . i killed him . jordan : are you forgetting that i was also there ? right after you shot him and left the metro , his phone rang . i answered it . julian : why ? jordan : because i figured it might be the boss with some questions . julian : and was it ? jordan : i -- i ca n't say for certain . as soon as he realized that i was n't mickey , he hung up . but , uh ... i thought i recognized his voice . julian : as luke spencer 's ? hmm . all from a two - second call . jordan : well , i mean , he does have a very distinctive pitch , and it 's not like i have n't seen him in action before . guy was all over the nurses ' ball with his number and getting married in front of us and -- and not to mention , i met him a couple of times at the gallery , remember ? julian : mm . jordan : when he was with you . so , am i right ? is luke our boss ? is he the one trying to take down sonny corinthos ? shawn : you and carly . sonny : yeah . you know what ? i usually do n't talk about my personal life , but you 're kind of the only one i can talk to right now -- the only one who understands what 's going on so ... shawn : well , hey , it makes sense . you know , you are carly are gon na be spending more time together . sonny : well , um ... last night , things kind of came to a head . shawn : was it a one - time thing ? sonny : well , that remains to be seen . shawn : [ chuckles ] so , what about this , uh ... franco problem ? franco : and that 's it . carly claims that she pushed sonny away . that was the end of it . nina : `` claims `` ? oh , you do n't believe her . franco : of course i do . what , you do n't ? nina : it very well could be true . as i told you , when i saw the kiss happening , i left . franco : exactly . she 's telling the truth . nina : good . franco : [ laughs ] nina : what ? it 's good . i 'm glad you worked it out . it 's fantastic . so you and carly can put it to bed . franco : yeah , well , that 's not exactly what happened , though . carly : sonny 's been having a rough time lately . bobbie : oh , so what else is new ? carly : mom . bobbie : okay . i 'm sorry . go on . carly : well , i 've just been there for him lately , and we 've gotten close . bobbie : how close ? carly : well , until last night , `` two parents who support each other and lean on each other `` kind of close . bobbie : okay . well , that does n't sound so bad . carly : well , it -- it -- it was n't . until it was , okay ? you do n't understand . i have really been trying to keep him at arm 's length . i have . i mean , especially after the first time he kissed me . bobbie : i thought last night was the first time . carly : it was just one time before that , and i -- i stopped it immediately . bobbie : and last night ? oh , god . carly : last night was different , you know ? sonny showed up , and it started to rain ... bobbie : who cares what the weather was doing ? carly : and then franco called and said he could n't come home . he was stuck in an elevator . and i do n't know . we started drinking wine . carly : oh , you and sonny , drinking wine ... carly : and he told me he wanted me , and we ... went to bed , and ... then ... well , franco was n't supposed to come home , but then he did , and you know everything that happened after that . bobbie : actually , no , i do n't , because while i was upstairs stalling franco , you went outside with sonny , so ... what did you tell him ? carly : i told him to leave . i told him to leave , it was mistake , there was no `` us , `` and there was never , ever going to be an `` us . `` bobbie : did you mean it ? sabrina : rafe . that 's who ran us off the road ? patrick : yes . sabrina : but he was just a kid . and then you operated on him ? why ? how did he end up as your patient ? patrick : when he found out that we were onto him , that we knew it was him , and the police were coming after him , he ran , he took off , and there was a car chase . sabrina : oh , my god . patrick : he ended up getting in an accident on his own . molly was in the car with him . sabrina : molly -- was she hurt ? patrick : no , she 's -- well , she had some bumps and bruises , but she 's fine now . rafe , on the other hand , he was pretty banged up , and he needed immediate surgery . sabrina : i just ca n't believe they asked you to operate on him , knowing what you knew . patrick : believe me , i didn -- i did n't want to . and i fought obrecht on it . but it was 4th of july , it was holiday rotation , and ... sabrina : still . patrick : ... i was the only surgeon left there . i know , but if i did n't do it , rafe was gon na die . he needed immediate surgery , and so i did it . and , yes , for a split second , i wondered , `` what if ? `` right there , i could avenge gabriel . take a life for a life . but i did n't . i did everything i could to save the patient . sabrina : of course you did . who would ever believe otherwise ? patrick : for starters , silas clay . silas : the night of the accident , rafe came to the hospital and ... said he needed $ 400 . sam : and did you give it to him ? silas : no . sam : okay . well , what did he say that he needed it for ? silas : camping trip . never occurred to me that he was lying and he wanted to use the money for drugs . sam : look , it did n't occur to either of us , silas . silas : i told him , you know , it was a lot of money and that we should talk about it , and ... we were supposed to meet for dinner . sam : and he took off before that could ever happen . i do n't understand . i just -- i do n't understand how he got the money , then . silas : molly was with him in the car . is there any way she could have gotten the cash ? sam : no , she would 've had to have asked my mom , and my mom would 've said something to me . silas : well , then i 'm at a loss . i have no idea , you know ? the only people he could 've turned to was -- was us . sam : no , wait a minute . there is somebody else . i mean , rafe came back here first , right ? silas : mm - hmm . sam : silas ... maybe he got the money from nina . sabrina : dr. clay accused you of deliberately leaving rafe brain - dead ? patrick : he did n't think i should do the surgery in the first place . sabrina : well , yeah , neither did you , but somebody had to do it . patrick : yeah , i know . needless to say , it was contentious between us . sabrina : when is it gon na end ? first gabriel , and now this boy , too ? i mean ... patrick : you 're being much more sympathetic towards rafe than i was . sabrina : he was just a scared , confused teenager yeah , i mean , he should 've stopped to help , but it 's not like he did it on purpose . oh , my god . what ? do n't tell me that he was drinking and driving or something . patrick : no . he , uh ... he was on drugs , but he told molly that he was n't high the night of the accident -- of our accident . sabrina : he told that to molly . patrick : molly said that he started taking drugs after just to cope . sabrina : okay . so then it really was just a senseless mistake ? was n't it ? patrick , you 're scaring me . patrick : [ breathes deeply ] there 's something else i have n't told you , but i literally just found this information out . sabrina : okay . patrick : right before rafe and molly crashed , rafe told her that someone put him up to running us off the road . silas : why would nina give rafe $ 500 ? sam : i 'm just trying to put together a timeline here . nina and rosalie were the last two people to see rafe before he took off with molly . silas : right . when rafe knocked nina down . sam : well , do you think he stole the money ? silas : look , i do n't even think she has that kind of money lying around here , all right ? i mean , her funds have been frozen ever since her mother had those legal troubles . sam : well , i do n't think rosalie has that kind of money lying around , either . silas : so now you 're back to nina . sam : no , i 'm going over every scenario . that 's what you do when you 're doing an investigation . silas : well , thank you for enlightening me on what an investigation entails , because for a minute there , it started to feel like a witch hunt . sam : silas ... silas : you 've been trying to make nina out to be the bad guy in all this . sam : no , i 'm just trying to do my job . silas : okay . i know you do n't like her . but nina 's not responsible for every bad thing that happens in this town . nina : no . franco : yep . nina : you looked under the bed ? franco : closet , too . nina : oh , closet , too ? franco : oh , and there it is . nina : what ? franco : the look -- like i 'm crazy . nina : look ? no . i -- i do n't think you 're crazy . franco : you do n't ? nina : no , definitely not . i mean , i think you 're impulsive and jealous , definitely . franco : yeah . nina : yeah . but not crazy . i mean , i would 've done the same thing . franco : really ? nina : mm - hmm . yeah . i 'm envious , actually . i should 've been more vigilant 25 years ago . otherwise , i would n't have been so blindsided when silas was cheating on me . franco : oh , gee , thanks . that makes me feel a lot better . nina : that 's not gon na happen to you . you have nothing to worry about . franco : nothing to worry about . nina : yeah , i mean , hey , come on . look at me . just because silas was lying to me does n't mean that carly is lying to you . carly : of course i meant it . i also meant it when i told sonny that nothing was gon na happen to begin with . bobbie : are you saying you want to be with sonny ? carly : well , he 's certainly saying he wants to be with me . but you know what , mom ? i 'm telling you , sonny just kissed me to prove a point . bobbie : about what ? carly : does it matter ? you know how sonny gets . sonny was determined to prove that he knows me better than i know myself , so he kissed me , and ... and the way it felt , it surprised us both . i mean , i thought that attraction , all that stuff , i thought it was behind us . bobbie : are you saying that now it 's not ? carly : i do n't know ! i do n't know what i 'm saying . i just -- i know that kissing sonny and sleeping with sonny felt wrong . it felt wrong , but then sonny says that wrong has always been right for us , and all i know is i 'm a deceitful , horrible , awful person . bobbie : no , you are not . although you do seem a little lost . and you have for a while . ever since ... carly : do n't stop there . just say it , you know ? `` ever since jason died . `` bobbie : i just do n't want to see you trade in one mistake for another . carly : franco 's not a mistake . bobbie : is n't he ? honey , my advice is , take a deep breath and think about what you 're doing . because let 's face it -- franco and sonny are both volatile . you are playing with fire , and i do n't want to see you get burned . shawn : look , we both know franco is a wild card . sonny : he 's a lunatic . shawn : and if he finds out about you and carly , i would n't put it past him to go after her . sonny : let him try . shawn : and there is what he knows about you . sonny : yeah , that 's a problem . but that 's what i got you for , right ? shawn : right . we both , uh -- you know , we talked about taking franco out a while ago , but you were n't too sure about your decision . are you saying you ... you 're ready for it now ? julian : [ laughing ] i 'm sorry . jordan : you find this funny . julian : i do , yeah . um -- [ chuckles ] luke spencer was at the art gallery because he was buying art . did n't you commission one of his sales ? jordan : [ chuckles ] yeah . what was i thinking ? i mean , because no shady dealings have ever been covered up by a purchase before . julian : [ chuckles ] well , not in this instance . jordan : you sure ? julian : i 'm sure . jordan : okay . because -- and maybe my memory is a little fuzzy but the first time luke was there when i caught you guys -- well , i 'm sorry -- when i saw you there with him , uh , something strange happened after he left . julian : and what was that ? jordan : i noticed a briefcase . in fact , it was the same briefcase that i 'd given you the night before , stuffed to the gills with drug money . julian : so ? jordan : so , i remember being a little surprised , you know ? that you could be so cavalier to just leave it out in the open like that . but maybe -- maybe i misread the situation , you know ? maybe , uh -- maybe you were about to hand that money off to luke when my interruption got in the way . julian : [ sighs ] look . i swear to you , on my children 's lives , my grandson , and everyone else i hold dear ... the man you heard on the phone is not luke spencer . jordan : then who is he ? julian : our boss is not luke spencer . and we 're not discussing it any further . you may not understand that , but believe me when i tell you , it 's to your benefit that we do n't . jordan : fair enough . hey , you ca n't blame a girl for trying , right ? julian : i get that . i mean , it 's got to be incredibly frustrating not knowing who you answer to . jordan : well , you know , it 's more than that . i want in . i want to play with the big boys . julian : i understand that , but believe me when i tell you , you do not want to get close to this guy . he 's already cost me my relationship with alexis . ned : did julian admit to still being in the business ? alexis : he 's in it up to his neck . i broke things off with him for good . i had to . ned : i 'm sorry . alexis : no , you 're not . ned : you 're right . i 'm not sorry you 're away from that drug dealer . but i am sorry you 're in pain . alexis : thank you . ned : alexis ... you really do deserve better . alexis : that 's what i keep saying to myself . and during the day , i almost believe it . ned : almost ? alexis : all that moral certainty and the conviction that what i 'm doing is right ... does n't keep me warm at night . sabrina : this just keeps getting worse and worse . so , somebody wanted us to get into an accident ? somebody want -- somebody wanted us to get hurt . patrick : it looks that way . sabrina : yeah . who ? why ? we have n't done anything to anybody . patrick : i do n't know . believe me , i 've been thinking about it nonstop , and i still do n't know . hopefully , sam will get to the bottom of it . sam : this is not getting us anywhere . silas : no , it 's not . i 'm sorry . nina 's obviously a touchy subject . sam : okay . well , let 's avoid it from now on . let 's see if rafe 's phone is actually charged up . maybe we can stop speculating and find out whose orders rafe was actually following . nina : okay . well , i got to keep moving . um , excuse me . p.t . calls . franco : oh , really ? since when do you go to physical therapy ? nina : um , since silas found out that i was skipping it . franco : for the record , he did n't hear that from me . nina : no , he did n't hear it from you , 'cause he heard it from me . i had to tell him something when he overheard us talking about the secret that we were sharing . franco : overheard us ? nina : yeah . um ... so what i told him is i 'd been seeing you instead of going to physical therapy . franco : right . that 's better than saying that you can walk . nina : yeah . shh . got to keep up the front . franco : right . so you can blindside silas the same way he blindsided you . nina : i do n't ... know what that means . turnabout is fair play . shawn : it 's your call . do you want me to do something about franco ? carly : sonny , we have to talk and get this ... straight . sorry , uh , for interrupting . shawn : oh , no , no . i , uh ... was just , uh -- was just about to leave . sonny : yeah , stay on that thing with ava , 'cause you know how important that is , right ?

doctor : a precaution . i 'd like to see with my own eyes how he responds to the first feeding . luis : it 's a good idea . mrs. wallace : yeah , sure is . no sense in going home you just to have to rush back here . i mean , you have to run some tests , you know , take some blood . doctor : i do n't think that 'll be necessary , but i do want to see how the baby reacts to the first feeding . luis : hey . i 'm glad you 're ok , martin . nurse : ms. wallace ? we 're going to call downstairs for the formula . beth : oh , thank you , nurse . nurse : ok . oh , you 're -- you 're the police officer who was on tv . the search for sheridan crane 's baby . luis , right ? luis : yeah . nurse : oh , i feel so ba about your sister - in - law 's baby . poor sheridan . would you please tell her that i have her in my prayers ? luis : thank you . beth : luis , i know this is difficult for you , but at least we have our baby -- your son . luis : yeah . mrs. wallace : yes , his son with sheridan . john : mom ? may i say something ? grace : of course , john . john : all of my life , i wanted a mother . i used to lie in bed , close my eyes , and picture what you looked like , what you sounded like , where you were . i always wondered why my dad never rerrrried . but after meeting you , i understood why no one could ever replace you in dad 's heart -- or mine . grace : oh , john . jessica : i was lucky enough to be raised by both my parents , the best parents anyone could ask for . mom , dad , you showed me just how good a marriage can be and that nothing and no one can come between two people who truly love one another like you do . kay ? kay : what ? jessica : tell mom how you feel . tabitha : careful , kay . you do n't want to blow it all now . kay : mom does n't care how i feel . grace : kay , that 's not true . kay : she 'd rather listen to charity . charity : you 're wrong , kay . kay : so , what else is new ? sam : stop it , kay . kay : ok , ok , i 'll shut up . tabitha : good answer , kay . grace : i am deeply touched by all of your words , and i will cherish them always . i love you all very much , and that 's what makes this so difficult . you know , i kept hoping that something would happen so i would n't have to make this decision , but nothing 's happened . and it 's up to me . i ca n't wait any longer . i need to decide . and i have . singer : you are my passion for life antonio : why ene n't you answering me , mama ? pilar : i do n't know what to say . antonio : is this what sheridan and luis have been trying to tell me all these months ? that they 're together , that they 're in love ? pilar : antonio , this is a very emotional time -- antonio : mama , please , just answer my question . pilar : i 'm not thonone you should be asking . antonio : oh , my god , this is ripping my heart out . i love sheridan . she is everything to me . pilar : i know . antonio : when i was dying , she was the one thing that i held on to . she was my reason to fight and she was my reason to live . pilar : i remember . antonio : well , to lose her would be devastating . but to lose her to my own brother ? that would kill me . beth : thank god he 's sleeping peacefully . luis : i 'm glad martin 's ok . maybe i should go check on sheridan , see how she 's doing . beth : yeah , go ahead . do n't worry about us . luis : ok . mrs. wallace : that poor man . you see the pain in his face ? that 's because of you . beth : put a cork in it , mother . mrs. wallace : oh , you put a cork in it . you say that you love luis , yet you are responsible for the greatest pain in his life . he and sheridan think that their baby is lost . it 's right here -- right here with you . beth : and he 's going to stay right here with me . mrs. wallace : you know what ? the more i think about this , the surer i am that there is some unconscious part of luis that 's reacting to the fact that this is his baby . beth : how did i get such a fool for a mother ? mrs. wallace : oh , you can call me any name you want . it 's not going to change anything . luis may not know for a fact that this is his baby , but he senses it . and he is drawn to the baby , not to you . beth : you 're getting me angry now . mrs. wallace : oh , really ? imagine how angry you 're going to be when the truth comes out . beth : well , it won't . how many times do i have to tell you that ? nurse : i have the formula for your baby . beth : oh , thank you , nurse . he 's just waking up now . nurse : you 're welcome . [ martin cries ] beth : oh , here you go , sweetheart . mommy loves you . yes , she does . mrs. wallace : oh , mommy 's turning my stomach . i 'm going to take a walk in the hall . beth : oh , better yet , why do n't you take a long walk off a short pier . mrs. wallace : after you . beth : shh . it 's ok . mrs. wallace : if luis is drawn to the baby , maybe sheridan would be drawn to the baby . and maybe now is the time to find out . jessica : tell us what you 've decided , mom . grace : sam , everything that you 've said is true . you rescued me from that fire years ago , and ever since , you 've been my strength , my support , my everything . sam : and you 've been mine . grace : i 'd lost my memory . i 'd lost my identity . i 'd virtually lost my life . but you gave that back to me . you taught me how to love . sam : you taught me . grace : and trust . sam : we learned it together . grace : and together we made new memories . sam : wonderful memories . grace : and we raised a wonderful family . sam : yes . grace : and you 've loved me with your whole heart . sam : i will forever . grace : i i do n't know how any woman could turn her back on all that you 've given . and i know that there are women out there who would do anything -- anything for that love . grace : and , david , you 're right - i do n't remember one moment of our life together . i do n't know anything about you -- your background , your family . all i know is what you 've told me . and that we have this beautiful son together . sam and i have this whole life that i know inside and out . and with you -- david : you do n't remember anything . grace : my life with you as husband and wife is a complete blank . ivy 's voe : e : damn it , grace ! i was so close to getting sam . jessica : mom 's going to stay with dad . thank god . kay : looks like it . tabitha : no , no . grace ca n't stay with sam . it 'll ruin everything . luis : i 'm sorry . i failed you . i could n't find our baby . i -- sheridan , i tried . god knows i tried . but i know that our baby 's still out there somewhere . sheridan , i 'm telling you , i can feel it in my heart . i 'm going to do whatever it takes . i am not going to stop searching until i 've got our baby back safe and sound and i 've placed him in your arms . mrs. wallace : this has got to end . and i have to put a stop to it . someone 's coming . nurse : luis ? luis : yeah ? nurse : i 'm sorry to interrupt , but you have a call . it 's the coast guard . luis : did they say what they wanted ? nurse : something to put in the report . luis : that 's it ? nurse : i 'm afraid so . luis : thank you . you just rest , ok ?

grace : i choose you , david . jessica : no ! sam : grace -- grace : i choose you . john : yes ! charity : oh , aunt grace . kay : stay out of this , charity . it 's none of your damn business . john : this is unbelievable . ivy 's voice : you could n't be more right , john . there 's nothing standing in my way now . tabitha : yes ! yes , yes , yes , yes , yes , yes ! antonio : i 'd given up on love . i never thought there was anyone that i would find to be able to spend the rest of my life with . and then sheridan showed up , just out of the blue . and after i rescued her , we fell in love . i mean for me , that was it . she was everything that i 'd ever hoped for . i mean , all i could see were years and years of happiness and a happy family . and i thought that 's what she 'd always wanted , too . i thought that 's what she 'd hoped and dreamed for . but maybe i wanted her so much that i did n't want to see the fact that she actually did n't want to be with me . pilar : do n't say that , antonio . antonio : i trusted luis , and he betrayed me . the one person in this world that i trusted sheridan with was luis . his commitment to find her ? i could n't believe it . i kept thanking him . i could n't thank him enough . his desire , his intensity , his passion to find her ? oh , well , that all takes on new meaning now . mama , please , tell me this is not happening . i do not want this to be true ! pilar : god . i wish there was something i could say to help you -- antonio : well , then tell me i 'm wrong . tell me that it 's just my imagination . tell me that i 'm letting my mind run away with me , mama . tell me that sheridan and luis are not together . luis : why do n't you just ask me ?

i just lost everything , and i 'm not just talking about my baby . but it looks like i 've lost my wife and my brother , too . pilar : what has made you feel this way ? antonio : a lot of different things . like tonight , i told you , when we pulled luis out of the water , i saw sheridan and luis together . and from the way she acted , she was acting like she was more his wife than mine . pilar : this has been a very traumatic night for sheridan , mijo . antonio : it 's not just tonight , mama . there have been other times , other things that i 've seen , other things that i 've overheard . and sheridan and luis -- they always had an explanation for every one of them , and i always believed them . but now -- pilar : what ?

doctor : no , not at this time . if we ca n't solve the problem soon , that 's something that we may have to do down the road . luis : wait , so , how did this happen ? doctor : well , several possibilities , but the baby 's simply not getting enough fluids . so if he wo n't drink his formula , then one possibility is that he 's allergic to it . so what i 'd like is for you to try breastfeeding , just to see if it makes a difference . luis : well , i think that would be a greatdedea . beth , i hear that breastfeeding is really good for the infant and the mother . mrs. wallace : wo n't be good for you , though . mother nature 's milk wagon only delivers to real mommies , and you 're not . try and get yourself out of this one , missy . -my son is a genius.-checkmate . mike meyers . listthis country and the people of this country and you can describe me as an actor , a ititer , a comedian , but you legend . l a funni you bounced back stillouth , before we , ththeree y you wwere . funnystill anand i think that we 're downtown at second city . a stable of charace it wus long before the lure of the bright lightsstillstill robin . i love you very much oh ! one time in tsteup hee i , bk rkre antonio : i feel like i 'm losing my mind . i do n't know what the difference between what 's real and what 's my imagination anymore . mama , please tell me that what i suspect is not happening . tell me i 'm wrong . tell me it 's my imagination . pilar : antonio , please , do n't do this to yourself -- antonio : i ca n't help it . i do n't want to think about the woman i love , my wife , being in love with my brother . like they 've been carrying on behind my back this whole time ? now that i think about it , all the moments that i 've walked in , all the conversations i 've heard -- it 's been right there in front of my face , and i 've just been too blind to see it . pilar : antonio -- antonio : wait a minute . pilar : what ? antonio : sheridan and luis have been trying to tell me something for months now . maybe this is it . maybe this is what they 've been trying to tell me -- that they 're together and that ththey 're in love . that 's it , is n't it ? that 's what they 've been trying to tell me . mrs. wallace : go ahead , bethie , breastfeed the baby . beth : well , i would love to , but i can't . luis : you ca n't ? why not ? beth : medical reasons . the doctor said that i could n't nurse . doctor : what kind of medical reasons ?

doctor : a precaution . i 'd like to see with my own eyes how he responds to the first feeding . luis : it 's a good idea . mrs. wallace : yeah , sure is . no sense in going home you just to have to rush back here . i mean , you have to run some tests , you know , take some blood . doctor : i do n't think that 'll be necessary , but i do want to see how the baby reacts to the first feeding . luis : hey . i 'm glad you 're ok , martin . nurse : ms. wallace ?

the more i think about this , the surer i am that there is some unconscious part of luis that 's reacting to the fact that this is his baby . beth : how did i get such a fool for a mother ? mrs. wallace : oh , you can call me any name you want . it 's not going to change anything . luis may not know for a fact that this is his baby , but he senses it . and he is drawn to the baby , not to you . beth : you 're getting me angry now . mrs. wallace : oh , really ?

chad : man , i do n't know . i do n't know , sonny . i think ... i think ... i think it 's hard to lose someone when they 're important to you . you know , it does n't matter how they go , whether it 's sudden or not . your mom , she was a huge presence in a lot of lives . she was a wonderful woman . she was kind . funny . spirited . you are a lot like her . sonny : i mean , i don't ... i do n't know about that . but i did inherit her stubbornness and her poor sense of direction . chad : tell me about it . i got that too . not sure where i got it from . sonny : so ... stefano ... are you really convinced that he 's out there ? chad : yeah . i am . sonny : so you know , but you do n't know , like , where he is or when you 're gon na see him again . it 's got ta be very weird . chad : you have no idea . eve : you know what it feels like to be set up . you know what it feels like to have no one believe you . please , ca n't you just give me the benefit of the doubt here ? abigail : why ? why would i do that , eve ? you have done nothing but try to take my family down and destroy them . even last year at the wedding . eve : the wedding ? abigail : yes , at the wedding . you came and you crashed my mom 's wedding . you screamed at her in front of everyone . i might not have been there , but i remember . eve : i was drunk ! abigail : you were drunk ? eve : yes . abigail : you were drunk . and so , that 's this whole thing now , right ? you 're innocent because you were drunk , so you do n't remember anything . eve : listen to me . okay . i swear to you , maggie took me to that hotel , and i never left . abigail : eve , you testified that you blacked out . so , how does that work ? because if you blacked out , then you ca n't really account for your whereabouts , can you ? eve : listen , i did n't do it , okay ? i was set up ! i was framed ! abigail : who ? who is framing you , eve ? who ? eve : i do n't know who did it ! but i swear to god i did n't do it ! i did n't do it , and i swear to you on everything that i hold dear . i swear to you on my daughter 's grave ! sonny : it 's great news about aunt jennifer waking up , huh ? chad : it 's the best . sonny : yeah . my dad told me , too , that she 's about to make a full recovery . chad : looks like it , yeah . sonny : yeah . that 's amazing . now , he also said , though , that she does n't remember who pushed her . so she could n't say for sure that it was eve . chad : no , she couldn't . but , you know , it 's actually funny you mention eve . she reached out to abigail this morning and asked her to come by the prison . sonny : really ? why ? chad : well , she said she had something important to tell her . sonny : what do you think that could be ? wait . do you think she 's gon na confess ? chad : mm ... i do n't know . i mean she 's been pretty adamant about her being innocent from the beginning , but ... i do n't buy it . eve : abigail , you know how much i loved my daughter . i would never swear on her memory if i were n't telling you the absolute truth here . abigail : no , eve . the only thing that i know about you for sure is that you are shameless . eve : [ exhales , murmurs ] wait . wait . abigail , please turn around . please . do n't leave . just -- will you turn around and -- and just hear me ? please . if i ca n't convince you , then i want you to hear this . if there is even the slightest chance that i am telling the truth , that means whoever really did push your mother off that balcony is still out there , scot - free . and they did their best to make it look like i did it . and i 'm sure that they are aware that your mother is awake now , and she will remember who did push her off of that balcony . and if that 's the case , your mother could be in very serious danger , abigail . rafe : i had two more patrol cars sent over to the scene . i just figured the more eyes we have on this , the better . hope : excellent work . rafe : thank you . hope : i 'm sure they 'll find sarah 's daughter in no time . rafe : well , i hope so . hope : yeah . rafe : i just feel so bad for her . i ca n't even imagine what she 's going through . then again , i do n't have to tell you . you know what it 's like to have a child kidnapped . hope : ciara ... being held , um ... ransom by that dirty cop . rafe : exactly . hope : something you never forget . oh , speaking of . baby . ciara : hi , mom . hope : oh , beauty . rafe : hey . hope : oh , sweetheart . what brings you by ? rafe : hey . how are you ? ciara : hi . i was just coming by because i have a really light day at work , and i was hoping that you and i could maybe grab some lunch together . hope : gosh . i would love to . but i can't . i am working a case . ciara : oh , really ?

ben : look , i get that you wanted to do me a favor . and i appreciate that . i really do . but you need to call your guy on the outside and have him return sarah 's baby right now . clyde : no . no . i ca n't do that , son . not until xander confesses and gets you out of this hellhole . there ai n't no way i 'm letting you fry in here . ben : dad , you 're not getting it . if somebody thinks that i had anything to do with that baby being kidnapped , there is no chance in hell that i 'm gon na win that appeal . clyde : do n't you worry about it . i got it covered . there ai n't no way we 're gon na get caught . will : caught doing what ? what are you plotting now ? clyde : well , well , well . if it is n't will horton . will : i thought you were in solitary , clyde . clyde : as you can see , will , i am out . will : yes , and ... already causing trouble . you were saying something about not wanting to get caught ? clyde : not that it 's any of your business , but i was just trying to talk my son in here to joining me for a smoke . no big deal . will : oh , right . are you sure you want to get mixed up with your dad again ? you know he 's garbage , right ? clyde : why , you little twerp . if it was n't for me , you 'd still be stuck living with that whacko , susan banks . will : watch it . w -- clyde : you still have affection for her , do you ? and you call me garbage ? your real family never would have found you if i had n't told ben here you were still alive . and the only reason you got your memory back is 'cause i pointed you in the direction of rolf 's diary . so how about you show me a little bit of gratitude , huh ? will : unfortunately , clyde , that does n't make up for the fact that you took a hit out on my husband . clyde : oh . well , at least i did n't kill the guy 's mother . chad : so , abby said that while she 's at the prison she 's gon na visit will . sonny : oh . chad : you seen him lately ? sonny : nope . no , i told you . he ... he told me to stop coming a couple months ago . chad : yeah , i know . i just thought that maybe you would -- sonny : maybe what ? just show up at the prison so i could just be sent away ? chad : are you sure that you would be ? sonny : he told me he , you know -- d -- he just does n't want me to come visit . he told me that . period . and there was no `` unless , `` `` maybe , `` `` let 's give it some time , `` `` maybe we 'll rethink it . `` he was very clear . so i 'm just respecting his wishes . what ? what 's that look ? chad : it 's just , like , i ... i know that will loves you , and i 'm sure he feels ashamed and scared and miserable . but whatever . i do n't know what he feels , but i 'm sure just to push you away like that , i 'm not -- i 'm sure that 's not what he wanted . sonny : well , that 's what he said , chad . that is what he said . you think i 'm a damn mind reader ? chad : okay . sonny : god -- i 'm really sorry , okay ? you just do n't understand how painful those visits were ... for the both of us . there 's so much anger and guilt in that room , and we 're just pretending that everything 's okay , and it 's not . i think that 's the hardest part . chad : i know . i 'm sorry . i just -- i love you both , and i hate to see you both hurting . that 's it . okay ? sonny : yeah . well , me lying to myself is n't gon na make it hurt any less , okay ? i 'm not gon na pretend that love transcends everything . because i 've learned that it can't . some things that happen are just too damaging . chad : you know , maybe with time ... sonny : no . no , no , no . all the time in the world is not going to lessen the pain of knowing that the worst loss i 've ever experienced was caused by him . chad : it was n't intentional , sonny . sonny : yeah , but it does n't matter , okay ? because my mom is gone . chad : yeah . of course . sonny : and that 's never gon na change . chad : i know . i know . sonny : look , i 'm really sorry . i do n't want to just sit here and talk about myself and feel sorry for myself . i 'm just really sorry . chad : no . no . no . just stop . you 're not feeling sorry for yourself . you 're ... i 'm sorry . you 're just expressing your grief , and now you 're being open and honest , and ... i get it . okay ?

why ? chad : well , she said she had something important to tell her . sonny : what do you think that could be ? wait . do you think she 's gon na confess ? chad : mm ... i do n't know . i mean she 's been pretty adamant about her being innocent from the beginning , but ... i do n't buy it . eve : abigail , you know how much i loved my daughter . i would never swear on her memory if i were n't telling you the absolute truth here . abigail : no , eve . the only thing that i know about you for sure is that you are shameless . eve : [ exhales , murmurs ] wait . wait . abigail , please turn around . please . do n't leave . just -- will you turn around and -- and just hear me ? please . if i ca n't convince you , then i want you to hear this . if there is even the slightest chance that i am telling the truth , that means whoever really did push your mother off that balcony is still out there , scot - free . and they did their best to make it look like i did it . and i 'm sure that they are aware that your mother is awake now , and she will remember who did push her off of that balcony . and if that 's the case , your mother could be in very serious danger , abigail . rafe : i had two more patrol cars sent over to the scene . i just figured the more eyes we have on this , the better . hope : excellent work . rafe : thank you . hope : i 'm sure they 'll find sarah 's daughter in no time . rafe : well , i hope so . hope : yeah . rafe : i just feel so bad for her . i ca n't even imagine what she 's going through . then again , i do n't have to tell you . you know what it 's like to have a child kidnapped . hope : ciara ... being held , um ... ransom by that dirty cop . rafe : exactly . hope : something you never forget . oh , speaking of . baby . ciara : hi , mom . hope : oh , beauty . rafe : hey . hope : oh , sweetheart . what brings you by ?

ben : look , i get that you wanted to do me a favor . and i appreciate that . i really do . but you need to call your guy on the outside and have him return sarah 's baby right now . clyde : no . no . i ca n't do that , son . not until xander confesses and gets you out of this hellhole . there ai n't no way i 'm letting you fry in here . ben : dad , you 're not getting it . if somebody thinks that i had anything to do with that baby being kidnapped , there is no chance in hell that i 'm gon na win that appeal . clyde : do n't you worry about it . i got it covered . there ai n't no way we 're gon na get caught . will : caught doing what ?

clyde : not that it 's any of your business , but i was just trying to talk my son in here to joining me for a smoke . no big deal . will : oh , right . are you sure you want to get mixed up with your dad again ? you know he 's garbage , right ? clyde : why , you little twerp . if it was n't for me , you 'd still be stuck living with that whacko , susan banks . will : watch it . w -- clyde : you still have affection for her , do you ? and you call me garbage ? your real family never would have found you if i had n't told ben here you were still alive . and the only reason you got your memory back is 'cause i pointed you in the direction of rolf 's diary . so how about you show me a little bit of gratitude , huh ? will : unfortunately , clyde , that does n't make up for the fact that you took a hit out on my husband . clyde : oh . well , at least i did n't kill the guy 's mother . chad : so , abby said that while she 's at the prison she 's gon na visit will . sonny : oh . chad : you seen him lately ? sonny : nope . no , i told you . he ... he told me to stop coming a couple months ago . chad : yeah , i know . i just thought that maybe you would -- sonny : maybe what ? just show up at the prison so i could just be sent away ?

what 's that look ? chad : it 's just , like , i ... i know that will loves you , and i 'm sure he feels ashamed and scared and miserable . but whatever . i do n't know what he feels , but i 'm sure just to push you away like that , i 'm not -- i 'm sure that 's not what he wanted . sonny : well , that 's what he said , chad . that is what he said . you think i 'm a damn mind reader ?

[ scene_break ] alexis : what do you mean , me and julian ? ned : i 'm referring to you playing florence nightingale after he got shot . alexis : ned , you 're the one that told me to go see him . ned : yes , i was trying to be magnanimous , because he 's sam 's father and danny 's grandfather . but i did n't think that you would be ministering to him around the clock . alexis : w - who says that i was there ' round the clock ? j.l . : you ready for the soup ? alexis : n -- thank you , no . ned : not now . i saw you with julian the next day at the hospital ... holding hands . alexis : were you spying on me ?

[ scene_break ] spinelli : d - detective west stormed out on you ? maxie : yeah . happy valentine 's day , huh ? [ georgie babbling ] spinelli : i - i just assumed he would have had some -- something grand planned . i -- seems out of character for him . you know , when -- when we became acquainted on new year 's eve , i found him very levelheaded and , well , fair . maxie : he 's not totally wrong . once again , i royally messed up the only thing that was good in my life . i thought that i had learned a lesson and grown as a person , but i 'm addicted to self - sabotage . spinelli : i - i 'm sure whatever you did , it could n't have been that bad . maxie : i helped , uh , johnny zacchara escape from the law . spinelli : oh . that bad . maxie : [ babbles lips ] [ georgie babbles ] [ scene_break ] natalia : i 'm sorry about that . this simple debrief just got more complicated . i had to text someone to say that i was going to be here longer than i thought . nathan : yeah . sorry about that . natalia : let me get this straight . mr. zacchara went to your girlfriend 's apartment before we lost track of him . nathan : yeah , that 's right . natalia : so what you 're saying is that the woman you 're romantically involved with willingly aided and abetted mr. zacchara 's flight from justice . [ scene_break ] spinelli : the fact that you helped johnny maintain his freedom troubles me on numerous levels , but not the least among them the fact that -- your long fight for georgie . maxie : i know , but i -- i could not turn my back on johnny . spinelli : you always did have a soft side for the younger zacchara . in fact , i was frequently jealous . maxie : a -- there was never a thing thing between me and johnny , okay ? just an attraction , and that 's it . but ... he helped me so many times . i wanted to return the favor . spinelli : please do not forget how well i know you . it is abundantly clear to me that you did not view your actions as assisting a criminal . you were just helping a friend . maxie : see ? see ? that 's exactly how i saw it . you know me so well , spinelli . [ sighing ] sadly , nathan does not see it that way . [ scene_break ] natalia : detective west , did your girlfriend help a fugitive escape ? nathan : no , it was n't like that , all right ? zacchara showed up when she was n't there . he broke in . he took her keys . he took her money . she did n't even know anything was messing until it was too late , and i showed up just as she was looking for them , 'cause she had to go pick somebody up from the airport . and then we found out her car was gone . natalia : oh . nathan : what ? natalia : it 's interesting that mr. zacchara broke into miss jones ' place , but in your report , there 's no mention of any forced entry . [ scene_break ] sam : no , actually , i do n't think we have met . patrick : this is , uh , derek . he 's the chief of plastics and a charming son of a bitch . derek : well , it takes one to know one , pal . patrick : yeah , we , uh , we scrimmage at the rink together , too . sam : oh . you play hockey ? derek : which reminds me , you still have n't signed up for the mercy game . patrick : the mercy game -- yes , i 'll be there . sam : [ chuckles ] derek : good . and i 'm sorry , i did n't mean to eavesdrop , but i 'm actually meeting my girl at the metro court , too , as soon as she finally gets off of work . but if you want to ride with me , you can come -- keep each other company until our dates show up . patrick : well , that 's atypically thoughtful of you . now , be honest , did your date bail and you 're just trying to snag mine now ? derek : hey , i 'm taken . just a friendly offer , i swear . patrick : ah . what do you think ? sam : i think i do n't mind at all . patrick : [ clears throat ] sam : [ laughs ] one ca n't have too many friends , right ? derek : exactly . sam : as long as you do n't keep me waiting too long . patrick : i wo n't . sam : okay . derek : do n't worry , drake . i 'll keep a better eye on her than you do our net . sam : ooh ! [ laughs ] [ scene_break ] mel : sounds like you and ned have a lot in common . olivia : yeah , we do . he 's just this great guy . i mean , he 's better than what i 'm used to . but he does n't see me that way , or at least right now , he does n't , anyway . mel : honey , if he is your best friend , why are you sitting on the sidelines , watching this alexis broad play with his heart ? forget your feelings . ned 's your bud . you need to tell this alexis girl what 's what , all right ? you know what ? she needs to toot or get off the pot , so to speak . you need to choose between ned and this jerome guy once and for all . olivia : y - yeah , t - t - that would be the smart , sane thing to do . but what i did instead was sleep with this jerome guy . mel : [ exhales sharply ] now , that is the bensonhurst girl i have missed so much . olivia : [ laughs ] mel : yes . [ scene_break ] alexis : you were spying on me ? ned : no , i was not spying on you . i just , um , happened to see you . alexis : because you were spying on me . ned : because i was concerned about you . you canceled lunch , so i decided to track you down . alexis : for your information , ned , i went there to tell julian that the authorities had called off the search for his sister . ned : oh . oh , okay . so -- well , that must have been very difficult for you . alexis : no , it was very difficult for him . he took the loss very hard . ned : so you stayed to comfort him ? alexis : in point of fact , i was there with julian to consult for his defense . ned : wow ! so you 're now representing that dirtbag ? so much for washing your hands of that guy ! [ scene_break ] olivia : sleeping with julian jerome -- not something i 'm exactly proud of . mel : oh , yeah . no good ? olivia : no , he was actually very good , but that 's not the point . i slept with the guy for all the wrong reasons . mel : oh , come on . you must have got some satisfaction out of it . you stuck it to alexis by sticking it to jules . olivia : yeah , but all i wound up doing was upsetting alexis , and upsetting ned by proxy . i almost lost the guy as a friend . and he 's too important to me to lose . mel : okay , wait , i thought you were the one that told ned that you could n't be just friends . olivia : yeah , yeah , yeah , i tried that , but i just -- i could n't do it , mel . i - i need him in my life , even if it 's just as a friend . bartender : can i take that from you ? olivia : yeah . hey , you can take mine , too . mel : w - whoa , whoa , whoa , hold up , hold up . that wine is too good to waste . i 'll finish this . olivia : no , no , put that down . i think i 'm coming down with the flu . do n't touch that . mel : wait , you did n't get the shot ? olivia : you know i hate needles ! mel : ah . well , kid , this has been great , catching up , but i got to go see my son . my unsolicited advice -- you 're lying to yourself , girl , all right ? you got it bad for this ned . if you do n't tell him soon , it might be too late . [ scene_break ] ned : you are actually representing julian again ? alexis : it 's different this time . ned : [ scoffs ] that 's not a cliché . alexis : he 's innocent of the current charges . ned : how refreshing . but you know what ? that 's not even the point . alexis : then what is ? ned : the point is ... you make it feel like it 's a chore to spend time with me , but you ca n't stay away from him . alexis : you know what ? the only person i want to stay away from right now is you . [ tray flips and dishes crash to the floor ] alexis : [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] felix : do you have an eta on that blood work obrecht ordered ? brad : two hours . felix : i 'll let her know . brad : do n't bother . already did . working on valentine 's day ? felix : i took an extra shift so epiphany could go out with milo . brad : [ chuckles ] you do n't know how lucky you are . felix : to be working ? brad : to be single . there are way too many good - looking people in this world , all right ? some right here in this hospital , some that wo n't stomp all over your heart . felix : i really do n't think you want to talk to me a -- brad : you know , first you ask a guy to move in with you . then you tell him you love him . then you wait two whole days for him to respond ... and he does nothing . felix : lucas . brad : hell yes , lucas ! i - i - i 've put my heart on the line for that man . i - i 've considered a three - way , e - embarrassed myself on stage in front of the whole town , got pushed off a parapet , which i barely survived . but can he give me an answer ? no . [ scene_break ] julian : okay , look , i do n't mean to pry -- lucas : but you will anyway . julian : well [ sighs ] okay , you know what ? i 've come a long way , so give me some credit , all right ? lucas : okay . julian : now , pretty much since you and i got to know each other , you 've been crazy about brad , okay ? so what 's the reason why you ca n't tell him that you love him ? i mean , do you not ? lucas : i - i - i - i think i just froze . i - i mean ... [ sighs ] i certainly love spending time with brad . i mean , what we have is comfortable . it 's great . but now , all of a sudden , we 're talking about love and moving in together . i -- julian : you 're scared of it . lucas : i 'm terrified . brad 's so much more courageous than i am , you know ? and he 's all about the big gestures . y - you saw him at the nurses ' ball . julian : oh , yeah , yeah . pretty much everyone saw him at the nurses ' ball . lucas : [ laughing ] yeah , i know . he embarrassed himself in front of half the town just to try to get me back . i do n't know if i have that in me . but should n't i ? is n't that what love really is ? julian : [ sighs ] lucas , love is many different things . you know , no two people express it the same way . look , i do n't know how you feel about brad . only you do . but it seems to me that if you 're scared or petrified , even , that sounds like the real deal , because ... love is risk . when you put your heart on the line like that ... unfortunately , there 's no guarantee that things are n't gon na get messy . [ scene_break ] j.l . : i 'm so sorry . i can fix this . at least it was n't hot . the -- the night is n't ruined . neither is the meal . alexis : yeah , no , no , um , the night was ruined long before the soup went cold . j.l . : [ sighs ] but it was gazpacho . ned : no , please , j.l . , we have staff for that . they 've cleaned up a lot worse than gazpacho . just -- just leave it . j.l . : no , it 's my mess . the last thing my restaurant needs is for this to wind up all over page six . mel : yoo - hoo ! anybody home ? j.l . : oh , no . mel : oh , there you are . you almost finished here ? there 's slot machines over the border calling my name . what are you doing here ? j.l . : i 'm working . mel : oh , please , like you even need this gig . you 're just doing a favor for that pop - tart hussy customer of yours because you got the hots for her . ned : that , uh , pop - tart hussy customer happens to be my daughter . mel : [ chuckles ] oh . and she is a lovely girl . ooh . ned : is this your mother ? j.l . : sorry . ned : i feel your pain . nobody should be judged based on their mother . j.l . : thanks , ned . mel : hey , wait a minute . ned ? brook lynn 's daddy , lois ' ex ? ned : i 'm sorry , have we met ? mel : [ chuckles ] no , but i 've heard a lot about you from the old neighborhood . boy , have i got a bone to pick with you . have a seat , neddy . let 's have a little chat about my girl liv . mm . [ scene_break ] sam : hey , olivia . olivia : hey . sam : hi . how are you ? olivia : great . sam : um , i -- i have a reservation under drake . olivia : right , you are . happy valentines day ... you two . sam : thank you . olivia : mmm ... right this way , mm - hmm . derek : thank you . olivia : so , do n't get me wrong , the guy 's very easy on the eyes . where is patrick ? sam : it 's a long story . olivia : uh - huh . there 's a lot of that going around tonight . [ scene_break ] spinelli : well , i can certainly understand detective west 's frustrations . i 'm -- i 'm sure that once he 's had some time , he 'll calm down and come around , as it were . maxie : i do n't know . spinelli : experience has taught me that it is very difficult to stay mad at you for very long . [ georgie babbling ] maxie : well , this is n't some misunderstanding about why i helped johnny . it 's that i helped him at all , in the first place . you know , i - i honestly thought that i compromised by leaving the room , but i did n't even realize what a terrible position i 'd put nathan in . spinelli : well , how do you mean ? maxie : nathan was the detective ordered to find johnny , so , essentially , i forced nathan to cover up a crime he was ordered to solve . [ scene_break ] natalia : no smashed locks , no broken windows . how exactly did mr. zacchara break into your girlfriend 's apartment ? nathan : well , johnny and maxie were friends a long time ago . i do n't know . i guess , uh -- and he dated her former roommate . must have known where the spare key was . natalia : well , that poor thing . that criminal took advantage of their friendship like that . she must feel so violated . nathan : it 's hard when someone you care about lets you down . natalia : why are you even here ? y - you should be with her . [ scene_break ] maxie : nathan should be here with us right now . he 's just so upset with me . that 's the thing about nathan -- what he lacks in body fat , he makes up for in integrity . he really believes in right and wrong and has a moral compass -- which , do n't misunderstand , i think is a great thing , but he just does n't see the shades of gray . and asking him to cover for me to cover for what i did for johnny is asking him to compromise his ethics , and i 'm just worried that for us ... we 're not gon na come back from that . [ scene_break ] brad : i never used to be like this . [ sighs ] i - i had game . i did n't get tied down . felix : you were a relentless dog chasing anything in pants . brad : can you not muster up a little sensitivity , here ? felix : okay , perhaps you missed it , but when you and lucas found each other , i was the one left out in the cold , so while i 'm trying to be supportive , it 's fine with me if you 'd rather confide in someone -- anyone else . brad : touché . [ sighs ] britt used to talk to me about all this . i miss her . and i miss knowing where i stand with lucas . [ scene_break ] lucas : okay , so you think i do love brad a - and i 'm just scared . julian : whoa , hell if i know . i 'm not in your heart . w -- okay . what i 'm saying is if you do love him , you need to find a way to let him know , and you need to make it count . or do n't listen to your old man ... lucas : [ sighs ] julian : ... because i put my heart on the line , and the woman i love pretty much wants nothing to do with me , so ... [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] mel : well , well , well , ned , is n't this a lucky coincidence ? we need to have a little chat about a mutual friend . ned : we have mutual friends ? mel : oh , lots . but mainly i 'm talking about my girl olivia falconeri . j.l . : mom , please , i 'm working . mel : stay out of this , sweetie ! look , no offense , ned , but olivia is an amazing woman , okay ? she would give you the shirt off of her back , and not for nothing -- what a back , huh ? i saw her pining over you over at that fancy hotel , thinking about all the good times you have together . ned : we have a blast . she 's great . mel : mm - hmm . are you attracted to her ? ned : what ? mel : are ... you ... hot for her ? ned : of course , i find olivia attractive . i 'm not blind . mel : oh , okay , so she 's your best friend , you have a ton in common , and you think she 's sexy , yet you 're over here trying to make it work with some woman who 's obsessed with a two - bit mobster . ned : it 's complicated . mel : no , it 's not complicated . it 's high school . okay , if you and alexis really wanted to be together , she would n't have left , or you would have gone after her . but you did n't , so maybe alexis is n't the only one pining over someone else .

you should march in there and tell that judge you are grateful to phyllis for making obvious what everybody else already knew -- you were married to a jerk . victoria : so , what should the judge take into consideration , not her crime ? nick : i never said she did n't do anything wrong , but she 's an amazing mother . victoria : right . right , that 's why her son is facing felony charges . she 's a great role model . nick : okay , know - it - all , here 's something you do n't know . phyllis came to me and offered me a clean divorce if she goes to prison so there are n't any custody issues . victoria : really ? well , i hope you -- you took her up on it , right ? nick : no , i did n't . victoria : what is wrong with you ? brad : so , you gon na follow your little brother 's lead and testify as to the goodness of phyllis ' soul ?

nick : i 'm warning you . brad : because i can refresh your memory . phyllis ca n't be trusted . and she will play you like a deck of cards the moment she needs something or someone else more than she needs you . nick : i need advice from you like i need a hole in the head . bailiff : this hearing will resume in five minutes . five minutes , ladies and gentlemen .

[ scene_break ] adriana : why would you keep your son a secret from rex ? gigi : did i say it was a secret ? it just never came up . adriana : really ? i would think that would be pretty big news for two people catching up after all these years . gigi : look , rex and i both moved on . he was my high school sweetheart , that 's it . the life i live now is n't any of his business , and i 'd appreciate if you did n't tell him about shane . adriana : why not ? gigi : because the fewer people who know we 're even here , the better . i want to keep my son safe . adriana : i do n't understand . gigi : we came here to help marcie out . i got into some trouble down in texas for trying to help her then . i just want to get this over with and get my son back home . that 's all i can really say . adriana : well , rex and i do n't keep secrets from each other . gigi : this does n't have anything to do with the two of you . besides , do n't you have more important things to think about besides my family and me ? do n't you have a wedding to plan ? adriana : yeah , we do . do you have a problem with that ? [ scene_break ] bo : i want to help you , balsom , but whether you tell charlie that he could be your father or not -- i think that 's got to be your call . rex : yeah , you 're right . bo : but i do n't want to see you get hurt , you know ? it could -- it could turn out that this is all not true or maybe the guy just -- rex : wants nothing to do with me ? yeah , it 's -- it 's risky , i know , but whatever happens , i 'll -- i 'll handle it . i 'll figure it out . bo : all right . i will advise you on one thing , though . steer clear of manning . could be that charlie wo n't be close by next me . rex : well , that 's going to be kind of hard to do considering i 'm marrying his wife 's cousin . bo : that 's right . and congratulations on that , by the way . i think that 's just great . rex : adriana told you ? bo : no , she kind of hinted at it . i already heard it through the grapevine . rex : oh . i wanted to tell you about it first , but this whole thing happened with marcie , and -- bo : no , i know . i understand that . rex : look , the reason i wanted to talk to you about it first was because -- well , i -- whew . bo : what ? rex : ahem . bo : do you -- do you need a loan ? rex : no , no . no , no , nothing like that . i was kind of wondering if you 'd be my best man . bo : really ? rex : you 've been such an influence on my life , more than anybody else since i came to llanview . well , the -- you know , i mean , the good part of my life . bo : well , i do n't know if that 's necessarily true but , you know , you 've become very important to me . i do n't think i even need to tell you that . rex : so you 'll be my best man at the wedding ? bo : no .

lulu : well , do you have a record of the passengers that you picked up ? if i had a receipt i would n't be calling . ok , well , unless you can find some sort of proof that my boss used your service , we wo n't get reimbursed , therefore she wo n't be using your company again . ok . yeah , you can call me back on this . bye . hi . sorry . dante : this looks like fun . lulu : yeah , that 's one word for it . kate has completely forgotten that she was supposed to turn in her expense reports by the first , so now i 'm stuck looking up months ' worth of receipts so she can get reimbursed . dante : huh . i 'm surprised she did n't leave you chained to the desk till you finished it . lulu : i 'm sure she would have loved that , but i need a steady stream of caffeine to get through this . dante : so you set up shop here , huh ? lulu : coffee 's free for family . dante : yeah , so are the rooms . i 'm guessing luke 's staying upstairs since tracy cut him off ? i mean , if you sit here long enough , you can probably run into him . that 's probably what you 're hoping for , right ? tracy : you 're wasting your time . i had the locksmith out this morning . you will not have access to the casino or any other aspect of your life until you check into rehab . [ scene_break ] nikolas : i wanted to come by and see how you were doing . i know the intervention did n't go like you hoped . lucky : well , that 's an understatement . it was a long shot , anyway . dad does n't like being backed into a corner . i mean , who does ? he 's not going to go to rehab . he ca n't admit he has a problem . nikolas : it 's kind of hard to ignore when you 're confronted by all the people you care about . lucky : when someone 's determined to self - destruct , they can ignore pretty much anything . he 's punishing himself for what happened to jake instead of putting the blame where it belongs -- on his disease . he 's not gon na go to treatment , so there 's nothing more we can do right now . i need to start focusing on my own life . which means working on keeping siobhan in the country . nikolas : let me handle that . ok ? but honestly , i do n't think you should be getting married right now .

[ scene_break ] lulu : i know that i 'm not supposed to have contact with my dad until he agrees to go to rehab . dante : you just want to see how he 's holding up . lulu : the intervention was brutal . he was blindsided by everyone that he cares about . i ca n't forget the look on his face when he realized why we were all there . it was a mixture of shock and disgust , like we all betrayed him . dante : well , your father 's an alcoholic . if hitting jake did n't make him realize that , i do n't know what will . lulu : you must think i 'm pathetic . i ca n't go one day without breaking my promise to stay away from my dad . dante : so what ? that 's not pathetic . you love your dad . lulu : yeah , but being here is not gon na help him get into rehab . i know he 's gon na see me as the weakest link and a way back into the family . dante : do you want to let him back in while he 's still drinking ? lulu : no . i ... i would like to say that -- i would like to see him come down the stairs with his bags packed ready to get help , but i would be lying if i said that i did n't want him to forgive me for being a part of the intervention .

[ scene_break ] diane : huh . well , it 's too big to be a ring . not that you 're even considering taking that step . lord knows i 'm not . whenever i even think about relinquishing my independence to a man , i begin to break out in hives , even if that man is my wonderful max . dante : nope , not a ring . diane : earrings ? tennis bracelet ? keys to a porsche ? dante : actually , it 's tickets to yankees / red sox . lulu 's never been before . she 's going through a rough time , so i thought she 'd like to go . diane : baseball . ha ha ! well , is n't lulu a lucky girl . dante : if you 're here about the abduction of brenda 's son , i do n't have anything for you , because we , uh , we turned it over to the fbi . diane : actually , i 'm here on an unrelated matter , one that does n't concern anything or anyone that pays my retainer . dante : oh , so you 're doing some freelancing ? diane : separate issue . as you may know , i have recently written and published my first book . dante : oh , yes . `` the secret life of damien spinelli . `` diane : you 've read it . dante : no . not yet , that is . i -- i found out about it from sam , and she said jason 's not too happy about it . diane : [ laughs ] well ... i have delivered jason morgan from numerous murder charges , and he 's a man who pays his debts , so happily i was able to obtain his signature on a release . at any rate , the book is selling very well . dante : congratulations . diane : thank you . i am now in the process of researching the sequel , and i 've come across some case files that spinelli refuses to let me see . so naturally that sounds all sorts of warning bells in my head . dante : have you confronted spinelli about it ? diane : he says they 're private . dante : maybe they are . diane : yes , but you should see him when i even mention the files . he becomes defensive and guilty . he 's full of remorse . and it 's becoming a cause for concern . so i want you to help me discover what the big deep , dark secret is . [ scene_break ] luke : i have no problem being a dumping ground for lucky 's grief . i deserve it . but i do not accept the rest of the family piling on and staging this exorcism of absurdity called an intervention . alexis : they 're concerned about you , luke . luke : well , they call it concern , i call it crazy . look ... the accident that killed jake was terrible . it messed with the natural order of things . every parent has a right to expect their child to outlive them . lucky 's trying to make sense of the chaos , and so he 's suddenly decided that i have a drinking problem . now , he thinks if he `` fixes `` me , somehow he 'll find some kind of resolution to the fact that i killed ... a 4-year - old . alexis : were you drinking the night that jake died ? luke : i 'd had a drink . i was not drunk . it was an accident , natasha . now , that does not absolve me in any way . i mean , i would gladly give my life to undo it . i 'll accept anything from lucky , anything that he needs to handle his grief , but i will not be 12-stepped to death for a problem i do n't have . alexis : how did they get you to sit through the intervention ? luke : they forced me . i was knocked out and duct - taped to a chair . alexis : makes sense . luke : see ? i 'm the wronged party here . me . good . great . i 'm glad you 're here . this saves a server . i 'm hereby notifying you that i am slapping you with a lawsuit .

[ knock on door ] siobhan : hey . nikolas : hi . lucky : any luck ? nikolas : i called every business associate i know , even threatened to pull cassadine funding . unfortunately , i was not able to extend your visa . i 'm sorry . siobhan : i , uh , i appreciate the effort . i think it 's time that i accept the fact that the universe is trying to tell me something . i 've just been too stubborn to listen . lucky : hey , what are you doing ? siobhan : i need to go home and pack . there 's a lot to take care of . lucky : that 's it ? you 're just gon na give up and go back to ireland ? siobhan : you heard your brother . there 's nothing more that he can do . lucky : no , there -- we can do something about it . like i said , we can go down to the justice of the peace . we can get married . that was the plan . why are you acting like this is over ? siobhan : it is . [ scene_break ] lulu : i 'm sorry . i wish that there was something i could do to help . not that you would want my help . elizabeth : why would you say that ? lulu : because my dad killed jake and i do n't think that you would really want anything from anybody -- elizabeth : it was an accident . lulu : how are you so forgiving ? elizabeth : your dad is n't the only one who made a mistake that night . lulu : elizabeth , you are a great mother . you ca n't doubt that . elizabeth : i miss his crooked little smile and the way he would bury his head in my neck when he would hug me . i know that this is eventually going to become my new normal , but knowing it and feeling it are two completely different things . so for right now , i 'm just trying to put one foot in front of the other so i can keep -- oh , god . lulu : what 's wrong ?
lulu sits at a table in kelly 's and is on the phone . dante comes in to join her . luke tries to unlock the door at the `` haunted star `` but finds the lock had been changed . tracey walks up and lets him know that it will remain locked until he gets treatment . nicholas and lucky discuss luke going into rehab when siobhan comes to visit . lucky tells siobhan that he had good news . lulu lets dante know that she can not have any contact with luke unless he gets treatment . spinelli catches diana going through his desk drawer and reprimands her for it . luke and tracey argue over the fact that he does n't want to enter rehab . steve sneaks into olivia 's apartment and catches her dancing , seductively while she paints . upon seeing steve , olivia sprays paint all over his shirt . she orders him to take off his shirt . elizabeth is quite put out when steve is overly protective of her . elizabeth tells him to back off and let her do this alone . nicholas stops by the hospital to check on elizabeth . nicholas tells elizabeth that he is pulling all the strings to get siobhan a visa so that lucky will not have to marry her . siobhan takes lucky to a quiet place to keep his mind off luke and his drinking . lulu lets dante know that luke never does go by the rules .
<s>[INST] lulu : well , do you have a record of the passengers that you picked up ? if i had a receipt i would n't be calling . ok , well , unless you can find some sort of proof that my boss used your service , we wo n't get reimbursed , therefore she wo n't be using your company again . ok . yeah , you can call me back on this . bye . hi . sorry . dante : this looks like fun . lulu : yeah , that 's one word for it . kate has completely forgotten that she was supposed to turn in her expense reports by the first , so now i 'm stuck looking up months ' worth of receipts so she can get reimbursed . dante : huh . i 'm surprised she did n't leave you chained to the desk till you finished it . lulu : i 'm sure she would have loved that , but i need a steady stream of caffeine to get through this . dante : so you set up shop here , huh ? lulu : coffee 's free for family . dante : yeah , so are the rooms . i 'm guessing luke 's staying upstairs since tracy cut him off ? i mean , if you sit here long enough , you can probably run into him . that 's probably what you 're hoping for , right ? tracy : you 're wasting your time . i had the locksmith out this morning . you will not have access to the casino or any other aspect of your life until you check into rehab . [ scene_break ] nikolas : i wanted to come by and see how you were doing . i know the intervention did n't go like you hoped . lucky : well , that 's an understatement . it was a long shot , anyway . dad does n't like being backed into a corner . i mean , who does ? he 's not going to go to rehab . he ca n't admit he has a problem . nikolas : it 's kind of hard to ignore when you 're confronted by all the people you care about . lucky : when someone 's determined to self - destruct , they can ignore pretty much anything . he 's punishing himself for what happened to jake instead of putting the blame where it belongs -- on his disease . he 's not gon na go to treatment , so there 's nothing more we can do right now . i need to start focusing on my own life . which means working on keeping siobhan in the country . nikolas : let me handle that . ok ? but honestly , i do n't think you should be getting married right now . [ scene_break ] steve : hey . elizabeth : you ca n't keep sending me home . i did as you asked , i took some time off , and now you 're just gon na have to trust me when i say i 'm ready -- steve : welcome back . elizabeth : thank you . i 'm just really tired of everyone treating me like i 'm gon na fall apart at any second . steve : no one would blame you if you did . you 've been through a lot these past few months . elizabeth : i know you 're worried , but you were right to send me home before . it was too soon . but now i am ready to be back . back to my routine . steve : well , you 're back on the schedule . mostly administrative right now . if all goes well , you 'll start back on the or rotation next month . elizabeth : great . thank you . being here , even if it 's behind this little desk , is exactly what i need . mom : let 's go . come on . steve : you thought that was jake , did n't you ? [ scene_break ] lulu : i know that i 'm not supposed to have contact with my dad until he agrees to go to rehab . dante : you just want to see how he 's holding up . lulu : the intervention was brutal . he was blindsided by everyone that he cares about . i ca n't forget the look on his face when he realized why we were all there . it was a mixture of shock and disgust , like we all betrayed him . dante : well , your father 's an alcoholic . if hitting jake did n't make him realize that , i do n't know what will . lulu : you must think i 'm pathetic . i ca n't go one day without breaking my promise to stay away from my dad . dante : so what ? that 's not pathetic . you love your dad . lulu : yeah , but being here is not gon na help him get into rehab . i know he 's gon na see me as the weakest link and a way back into the family . dante : do you want to let him back in while he 's still drinking ? lulu : no . i ... i would like to say that -- i would like to see him come down the stairs with his bags packed ready to get help , but i would be lying if i said that i did n't want him to forgive me for being a part of the intervention . [ scene_break ] luke : i understand how difficult it is to say no to a grieving father . you want to help lucky crawl out of the hell that he 's in . that 's fine . but you 're not gon na do it by locking me out of the star . tracy : you locked yourself out by refusing treatment . luke : lucky has this idea that if he `` fixes `` me , it 's somehow gon na fix what 's broken in him . to numb the pain , he has projected his illness onto me . tracy : luke , you are every bit the addict that lucky is . the only difference is that lucky has taken care of his problem , you are letting yours consume you . luke : i have a healthy appreciation for a fine whiskey . tracy : oh , my -- you have put your need to drink in front of everything else in your life -- me , your children -- and i am not gon na excuse it any longer . luke : you think that if i give up the booze , somehow all my vices are gon na magically disappear ? it does n't work like that . this is who i am . come on , tracy , deep down you do n't want me to change . so open up the door and let 's get on with our lives . tracy : ha . nice try . nikolas : i do n't think a marriage will be necessary . let me make some calls and see if i ca n't get siobhan 's visa sorted out . luke : ok . but just so you know , she already filed for an extension and it was denied . so was the appeal . the government gave her a date for deportation , so what else can you do ? nikolas : i have some business dealings with some connected people in washington . let me give them a call and see what they can do . lucky : i just do n't want you to owe anyone on my account , you know ? nikolas : i like siobhan . i think she 's good for you . but jumping into a marriage right now , even with the best of intentions , is a mistake , i believe . [ door opens ] siobhan : oh . am i interrupting ? lucky : no . your timing could n't be better . it looks like nikolas might have some good news . you may not have to marry me after all . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : oh , of course that little boy reminded me of jake . everything does . my home , the park , the car ride over here . today a yellow motorcycle pulled up next to me and it looked exactly like jake 's favorite little toy . he used to say , `` daddy , when i get big like you , i want a real one . `` steve : if you need more time ... elizabeth : no , i -- he was so full of life . i would n't be honoring him if i just curled up in bed and tried to block out all the memories , right ? and cameron and aiden need me to be the best mom i can be . steve : i respect that . i do . i really do . but no one 's asking you to do it all at once . i mean , if you 're in the middle of your shift and you start to feel like it 's too much , just say so . you have nothing to prove to anyone . elizabeth : ok . thank you . steve : i 'm here to help . elizabeth : you mean that ? steve : i 'm your brother . there 's nothing i would n't do for you . elizabeth : then i need you to just go . steven , i love you , but sometimes you really stress me out . i think you just need to take a hike or go play around on your guitar , pretend you 're stevie ray vaughn for a while . steve : oh , ouch . come on , that 's not fair , making fun of your big brother 's not - so - secret fantasy life . elizabeth : you just need to go do something you enjoy . that 'll make me happy . steve : elizabeth -- elizabeth : please , steven , i 'm serious . i need to do this on my own .

[ pencils rattle ] diane : oh ! well , if it were a snake , it would have bit me . spinelli : a note seems redundant now that the jackal 's here in the flesh . diane : excellent point . so , i , as you know , am working on the abby haver defense , and i 've come to find out where we are in terms of proving she was framed . spinelli : the jackal is not at liberty to discuss stone cold 's plan of action . diane : spinelli , you know that any conversation between us is covered by attorney - client privilege . spinelli : there 's no need to keep up the pretense . it 's very clear that you are not here to help abby . you came here to pilfer the jackal 's private files .

[ crying ] [ scene_break ] sonny : what happened with aj has n't changed anything between me and connie . olivia : oh . give it 10 minutes . sonny : she insists what she did was right . olivia : okay , so she thinks she 's right . you think you 're right . maybe if the two of you could ever learn to communicate , maybe you could stop breaking up every 15 seconds . sonny : it 's not that simple and you know it , olivia . olivia : sonny , is it that hard to consider that maybe , just maybe , connie had a good reason for running that story ? sonny : i know her reasons . it 's beside the point . olivia : sounds like it is the point . sonny : she knew she was putting our relationship at risk . olivia : yeah , but you were using your relationship as leverage to get what you wanted ! sonny : no , no . i was just trying to protect my family , which would have been her family . answer this . if -- if we had gotten married , would she have blindsided me if i was her husband ? olivia : honey , you 're not hearing what i 'm saying . sonny : no . what i 'm trying to say is we 've been through a lot -- one thing after another . we were just clear of joe jr. , the did , and she stabs me in the back . i do n't need it , olivia . i 'm not gon na sit around and take it . [ scene_break ] connie : i love sonny . i want a life with him . kevin : and yet , you made decisions that you knew would jeopardize your relationship with him . are you unhappy with sonny ? connie : no . i 'm very happy with sonny . kevin : do you think he 's unhappy with you ? connie : at the moment , yes . let 's just say i 've seen him happier . kevin : when ? connie : when he was with my cousin . kevin : olivia . connie : after i came back from being integrated , i told sonny that we could n't be together . i broke his heart . kevin : but he accepted your reasons . connie : yes . he loved me enough to let me go , and he moved on . kevin : with your cousin . connie : they were getting closer . all of a sudden , he had this light in his eyes . i had n't seen that light in a really long time . and that smile of his -- it was back . kevin : so , what did you do ? connie : i took him back ... right when he and olivia were at the verge of starting something on their own . he had the opportunity to be happy without me , and i put a stop to it . kevin : and now ? connie : i ran the story . and now he has the opportunity to be with olivia again . all he has to do is take it . [ scene_break ] dr. obrecht : how could i be working for jerry jacks ? he 's dead , poor man . from what i understand , there was an explosion -- luke : he 's alive . he may be on death 's door , but he 's alive . he extorted $ 88 million to buy a cure , and something tells me he was gon na buy that cure from you . dr. obrecht : [ chuckling ] that is utterly preposterous . i know nothing of any cure . luke : maybe you 're right . holly : she is ? luke : mm . i doubt that she would have the resources to synthesize and research the cure that jerry needed ... not without help from some of her faustian friends like , for example , cesar faison . [ scene_break ] anna : is that not your mother ? britt : it looks like her . anna : good . sabrina santiago will testify to the fact that she saw the two of you together here , in port charles , a few days ago . britt : oh , come on . sabrina is practically legally blind , and she hates me . anna : did you know that your mother was the director of a clinic in switzerland ? britt : it does n't surprise me . anna : well , would it surprise you to know that said clinic was a front for the operations of an international terrorist named cesar faison . britt : no -- i 'm not aware of that , if you 're telling the truth . for all i know , you could be making this all -- anna : knock it off ! britt : [ sighs ] anna : what your mother has done -- what she is involved with is very serious . now , my advice to you is to start talking if you do n't want to wind up in as much trouble as she is in . britt : i have n't done anything . dante : you mean other than being an accessory and harboring a fugitive ? britt : i have n't seen my mother ! now arrest me or get out . anna : oh , fine . you think that i wo n't arrest you , because you 're a pregnant woman , dr. westbourne ? you are very much mistaken . plenty of babies are born behind bars in pentonville , so if you 're not gon na cooperate with me , i 'm gon na take you to the station . britt : fine , fine , fine .

[ scene_break ] kevin : have you ever asked sonny directly how he feels about olivia ? connie : we discussed it . he denied it . kevin : why would you second guess that ? i mean , when you decided it was worth testing the waters about getting back together with sonny , you went to him . you declared your feelings to him . connie : yes . and he was with olivia . kevin : did he choose her or you ? connie : he chose me , but it does n't -- kiki : unh - unh . say it without a `` but . `` connie : he chose me , not olivia . kevin : and why would he do that ? feelings of guilt , sense of duty ? connie : no . he chose me because he loves me . kevin : he loves you . and you love him . why would anyone second guess that ? trust your feelings . trust your relationship with him . work it out . [ scene_break ] olivia : what are you saying , exactly ? because it sounds like what you 're telling me is that you and connie are through . are you ? sonny : i do n't know , olivia . maybe we are . i 'm not -- i 'm not optimistic . olivia : well , that 's just great . sonny : what is that supposed to mean -- `` that 's just great ? `` olivia : well , you got stuff to do , and i got stuff to do . i 'm gon na get out of here . sonny : whoa , whoa . what 's -- olivia : i do n't want to talk about this right now . trust me -- you do n't want to talk about this right now either ... sonny : tell me what the hell you need to tell me . olivia : tell you what ? tell you what ? that , right now , i feel even more ... petty and tiny and , god , humiliated than i already did ? sonny : what ... ? what are you saying ? olivia : see , i 'm talking about you and me . we could have been something , sonny . and you know it , and i know it . connie just snapped her fingers and showed up again and you jumped . sonny : i do n't jump , first of all . olivia : you went right back to her , and i did the only thing that i could do . i stepped back so that the two of you could be together . and -- and it 's damn good thing i did , huh ? because now look at you . less than a month later , you 're both right back up to your necks in this same old turmoil , threatening to split up . sonny : we did n't -- w - we -- how could we know what was gon na happen ? how did we know it was coming ? olivia : could n't you really ? sonny : what ? olivia : sonny , there is always some monumental drama threatening to rip the two of you apart . so why did i even step back ? what was even the point ? sonny : what were we supposed to do ? olivia : i should have stood my ground . i should have stood up and fought . and so should you .

[ scene_break ] kevin : have you ever asked sonny directly how he feels about olivia ? connie : we discussed it . he denied it . kevin : why would you second guess that ? i mean , when you decided it was worth testing the waters about getting back together with sonny , you went to him . you declared your feelings to him . connie : yes . and he was with olivia . kevin : did he choose her or you ? connie : he chose me , but it does n't -- kiki : unh - unh . say it without a `` but . `` connie : he chose me , not olivia . kevin : and why would he do that ? feelings of guilt , sense of duty ? connie : no . he chose me because he loves me . kevin : he loves you . and you love him . why would anyone second guess that ? trust your feelings . trust your relationship with him . work it out .

[ chuckles ] ah , and he gave me the best hug . billy : that 's good . i 'm glad you two were in a good place before he -- before he passed . and , you know , no regrets . nothing unresolved . that 's good . i hope you can find solace in that . lily : i mean , i could , you know , obsess about all the moments that we 've been robbed of , but [ sighs ] i do n't want to do that . not today , you know ? i just want to [ sniffles ] think about all the amazing moments that we did have . victor : i 've got to say , in all the years i 've lived and been in business , your father was one of the most honest men i 've ever met . he did n't tell stories or lies or obfuscate . when i met him , i knew that i 'd discovered a rising star . jack : uh , for the record , um , you did n't discover him . neil started out as an executive trainee at jabot . victor : well , now , if memory serves me correctly , for the record , i think your company at that time was under the newman umbrella . jack : be that as it may , my father hired him and mentored him . victor : [ laughing ] let 's just say that your father and i knew talent when we saw it . victor : now , neil ... neil : yes , sir ? victor : you have been on top of this from the very beginning . and i want you to know how much i appreciate that . neil : thank you , victor . victor : you have a nice day . jack : neil did great work for both our companies . and i 'm sure if katherine were here , she would agree . though i , uh , have to confess , i convinced neil to leave her . neil : you know , jack , i 'm very happy at chancellor . jack : yes , i know you are . neil : katherine and i have a very good relationship . jack : you 're damn right you do . but you still came here to see me . neil : i 'd be a fool not to hear what you had to offer . jack : yes , you would , because we 're gon na show you the money . neil : well , see , jack , here 's the thing -- and you know this -- i 've been a right - hand man before . not my thing anymore . jack : right hand my eye . i want you as c.e.o . of jabot . jack : neil relished each and every challenge that was put before him . devon : it is to me , too . creating hamilton - winters group was one of the best decisions i 've ever made in my life . devon : i would love to go into business with you . there 's nobody i trust more in this world than you . i know it sounds crazy , given everything we 've gone through , but look where we are . look where we ended up . right back where we always should have been -- as family . and not just family , but friends who do n't keep secrets , and who do n't hold grudges . neil : we both have every right to hold onto one particular grudge forever . devon : sure we do . but where is that gon na get us ? we 're still here . we 're still family . there is nobody i would rather do this with more than you . what do you say ? devon : you know , to have a -- a successful company with both of our names on the door , it means more to me now than it ever did , because i know that i 'm gon na be carrying it on for the both of us . jack : i ca n't think of a more meaningful legacy than that . devon : neither can i . victor : devon , your dad would be very , very proud of you . sofia : it is so good to see you again , ashley . i just wish it was under different circumstances . ashley : i know . i 'm sorry . i ca n't even process it -- you know , that he 's gone . i just was looking so forward to seeing neil this trip . sofia : i heard you two had been seeing each other . [ ashley chuckles ] history repeats itself . ashley : i know . i know . i mean , this time it ended because i moved to paris to start my own company . sofia : look , no need to explain . i just like knowing that you and neil reconnected . that he finally found romance again with somebody who understood him and cared about him . ashley : i know . and i -- i know how much he meant to you . sofia : oh , he was such a good man , was n't he ? just so loyal and caring . you know , uh ... our past was a little complicated . ashley : oh , hey . you know , whose is n't ? [ both chuckle ] sofia : but , uh , he was just a class act . you know , set a stellar example for all of his kids , and i will always respect him for that . sofia : it 's beautiful . neil : mm - hmm . that 's moses ' birthstone , and his birth date is engraved right underneath there . sofia : wow . [ chuckles ] let 's see . neil : here , bring it out . come on . come on . sofia : okay . neil : all right . there you go . sofia : it is so beautiful . neil : and so is our boy . thank you , sofia . sofia : there will never be another man like him . ashley : is n't that the truth . jack : not always easy to drop everything and run home when something like this happens . malcolm : jack , i only had one brother . nothing was gon na keep me away . no job is more important than family . jack : i could n't agree more . malcolm : huh . look at you . just as gorgeous as ever . victoria : oh . i was just about to say the same thing about you . jack : gee , why do i feel the sudden need to check out the fruit platter ? malcolm : [ sighs ] thank you . thank you for being here today . victoria : your brother was very dear to me and my whole family . he 's always gon na have a special place in my heart . in all of our hearts . jill : what a day , huh ? billy : yep . guess it 's a reminder to live in the moment and not take anything for granted , right ? jill : yes . speaking of which , i was very surprised when you asked me to swing by victoria 's so we could all attend together . and i could n't help but notice how attentive you were to her . so has anything changed since i was here on my last visit ? or , what , you 're gon na tell me i 'm reading too much into this ? billy : for once , no . i 'm not gon na tell you that , because we 're back together . jill : [ gasps ] oh , hallelujah ! billy : just tone it down , okay ? we 're taking it very slow . jill : oh , anything you say . billy : oh , for some reason i find that hard to believe . victoria : hi . um ... billy : hi . victoria : i think that we should probably head home and give the family a chance to spend some time together alone . and i want to give the kids an extra hug and kiss ... billy : okay . victoria : ... before they go to bed . billy : i think that 's a good idea . victoria : okay . sharon : i can just picture dru , waiting to welcome your father with open arms . lily : yeah , they 'll be together again . and after what he went through when she died ... they deserve to be at peace . nikki : he never got over drucilla 's death . never stopped missing her . sharon : i remember how hard it was . but neil made it through . and when he got to the other side , he made a decision -- to always lend a hand when someone needed lifting up . nikki : yeah . and he did it again and again . sharon : when i was working so hard to put my life back together , neil hired me at jabot to advocate for the models . lily : i remember that . nikki : because that was the kind of man he was . i remember , i would be on the edge , and it would be so easy for me to just get lost in alcohol , and neil would reach in and pull me back from the abyss . i could always rely on him , no matter what . nikki : and i know you were only trying to help me . i hope you know how much i regret that . neil : i - i really -- i should n't have said some of the things that i said at that intervention . i know better . i - i really should have kept it a secret . nikki : i do n't want to dwell on that . neil : okay , then let 's not dwell on it . do n't downplay the decision you made to come here . it was a very brave move . nikki : well , that 's what i keep telling myself . neil : and now [ sighs ] the healing can start , right ? nikki : i 've never had a more loyal friend . lily : he felt the same way about you . you know , he knew that you would always be there if he needed someone to really understand what he was going through . nikki : [ sighs ] just know ... that , for you and your family , you will always have a friend in me . `` the young and the restless `` will continue . sharon : faith is waiting , so i think i 'll start saying my goodbyes . are you ready to leave ? mariah : you know , i 'm -- i 'm really glad that hilary and neil forgave each other before she died . i think they both needed that closure . i 'm just -- i 'm worried about devon and what he needs . sharon : yeah . he was still grieving hilary 's death , and then this happens . ana : i know he wants to stay strong for lily and the kids . mariah : yeah , but how realistic is that ? ana : not very . i 'll be keeping an eye on him . sharon : if you need any backup -- ana : i know who to call . nick : i used to think i was a pretty big deal on the basketball court , but your old man took me to school a few times . devon : [ chuckles ] you 're not the only one . nick : it was all in good fun , but it brought out his competitive spirit . [ sighs ] you know , your dad , he did n't let up on the basketball court , just like in business . if he wanted something , he was all - in . he was a good man . i 'm gon na miss him . i 'm sorry he 's gone .

[ ashley chuckles ] history repeats itself . ashley : i know . i know . i mean , this time it ended because i moved to paris to start my own company . sofia : look , no need to explain . i just like knowing that you and neil reconnected . that he finally found romance again with somebody who understood him and cared about him . ashley : i know . and i -- i know how much he meant to you . sofia : oh , he was such a good man , was n't he ? just so loyal and caring . you know , uh ... our past was a little complicated . ashley : oh , hey . you know , whose is n't ?

[ sighs ] you know , your dad , he did n't let up on the basketball court , just like in business . if he wanted something , he was all - in . he was a good man . i 'm gon na miss him . i 'm sorry he 's gone .
