[ scene_break ] maxie : georgie , be careful ! okay , honey ? slides are for going down , not climbing up ! that 's right . good job . no , georgie , do n't ... eat the grass . spinelli : oh ! a little grass is okay , georgie . maxie : are you kidding ? who knows what 's living in it ? spinelli : a host of microorganisms . maxie : [ sighs ] spinelli : all beneficial to the human body . hey , do you know how many reports actually show that a little exposure to the elements could protect georgie from allergies as she gets older ? maxie : i do n't want her getting all grungy . spinelli : grunge is a way of life here . gon na have to get used to it . that is , if you 're gon na stay . [ scene_break ] amy : give me all your money ! nathan : [ sighs ] amy : [ laughs ] did i get you ? nathan : yeah , you got me , amy . you got to know better than to do that to a cop , amy . amy : i 'm sorry . i keep forgetting . it 's what i do with all my brothers . nathan : mm . amy : [ sighs ] nathan : so you think of me as your brother ? amy : more than that -- you 're my hero . nathan : i take it your actual brother 's recovery is going better ? amy : [ sighs ] chet 's got a long road ahead of him , but he 'll get there . nathan : yeah ? everything okay ? amy : it 's fine . but enough about me ! i want to hear about you ! mm ? how has your summer been ? i bet a lot less fun without me around . [ laughs ] nathan : calmer . calmer . but , yeah , okay , maybe a little less fun . amy : admit it -- you missed being `` ask man landers , `` did n't you ? [ chuckles ] [ scene_break ] felicia : i ca n't believe you 're so upset by all this . you know , when kevin gets back from france , i think we should talk to him about getting you some anti - anxiety meds . anna : oh , why ? whatever for ? mac : hi ! emma : hi ! felicia : oh ! hello ! anna : hi . how are you ? felicia : wow , guys ! anna : i 'm great . felicia : hi . mac : so good to see you . mac : oh ! felicia : hey , sweetie . hi ! [ chuckles ] [ scene_break ] franco : so , why was liesl so convinced that hayden had been arrested ? elizabeth : only one reason i can think of ... ... she was in on it . franco : whoa , whoa , whoa , whoa . hold on a second . wait one second . elizabeth : really ? ! franco : oh , wow . you 're really strong . elizabeth : i want to confront her . that woman had a hand in driving my sister away . franco : you do n't know that , not for sure . elizabeth : obrecht blames finn for getting her fired . she hates him , so of course , she hates hayden . it only makes sense that she would do something to screw up both of their lives ! franco : oh , okay . so ? elizabeth : so i 'm gon na get to the bottom of this . franco : by confronting obrecht ? elizabeth : do you have a better idea ? franco : yeah . i do . here , hold this . allow me . [ scene_break ] finn : not saying it 'll be easy . hayden knows how to cover her tracks . but you 're a pi , right ? and you 're one of hayden 's friends . the way i figure it , if anyone can find her , it 's you . curtis : well , you 're right -- i do know hayden better than most . and you 're also right -- i can bring her back to port charles quicker than any other pi in the business . but i wo n't . finn : hayden is good at reinventing herself . but she only has so much in the way of resources , and let 's not forget that she is in her second trimester . there 's only so many things she can do to blend in . when you consider that , it should n't be too difficult to find her . that is , unless , of course , you 're not as good as you 'd like everyone to believe . curtis : now , do i strike you as a brother whose vanity can be exploited ? finn : yes . you strike me as someone who 's exactly that . curtis : well , under normal circumstances , i 'd probably punch you for saying something like that to me . but out of respect for hayden , i 'll refrain . and also out of respect for hayden , i ca n't take this job . [ scene_break ] dr. obrecht : franco , meine liebchen . how lovely to see you twice in one day . franco : yeah , you might want to withhold judgment on that . dr. obrecht : is there a problem ? franco : i do n't know . you tell me . what are you doing here , liesl ? dr. obrecht : i had a hangnail . really , franco . since when do i need to explain my presence at general hospital ? franco : well , there 's a rumor going around that you did everything you could to try and ruin hayden and finn 's lives . dr. obrecht : can i help it if the woman has a reputation for larceny ? she is , after all , the daughter of the greatest swindler of our time . franco : okay , so that 's what you 're doing here . you 're loitering around the hallways , hoping to see hayden dragged off in handcuffs . dr. obrecht : why ? are the police here ? franco : no , the police are not here . dr. obrecht : have you seen hayden ? franco : no , hayden 's not here , either . dr. obrecht : well , it 's only a matter of time before she turns up , like the bad pfennig she is . franco : okay , you know what ? stop . there 's , like , a disconnect here . let me clear this up . hayden did n't just break the engagement -- she broke camp . she 's gone . [ scene_break ] maxie : look , i have no plans to settle down here . spinelli : but you 've no plans not to . maxie : [ sighs ] spinelli : admit it -- it 's ... it 's crossed your mind . maxie : of course -- it 's always on my mind . i love seeing georgie every day . that beard , not so much . spinelli : really ? 'cause , see , ellie ca n't get enough of it . when -- when she kisses me , she says it 's like kissing merlin olsen -- who was apparently a childhood crush of hers . maxie : `` little house on the prairie . `` yeah . i get that . i mean , it makes sense . you look like a pioneer . spinelli : i prefer `` rugged outdoorsman . `` maxie : [ scoffs ] spinelli : [ laughs ] well , you know , physical exertion never held much interest for me , but this -- this ... this beard has given me confidence . i may actually go camping . you should have , uh , nathan try it . maxie : yeah . i 'll get right on that . if i ever see him again . spinelli : i - i -- there 's perhaps a way you could entice him . you know , in addition to the scenic splendor and no sales tax , our city has police stations . and actual police ! maxie : i 'm aware of that , spinelli . spinelli : yep . is -- is nathan , though ? you know , i 'm not sure of the application process , but i 'm sure with his stellar record , portland 's finest could make room for him on the force . maxie : [ sighs ] we 've talked about it . spinelli : and ? maxie : ever since nina married valentin , it 's like nathan 's afraid to leave port charles . spinelli : she 's a grown woman of some accomplishment . she -- she is , after all , the editor of a major fashion publication . and besides , he ca n't look after her 24/7 . maxie : i know . it 's almost like nathan 's using nina as a cover . spinelli : what 's holding him back ? maxie : i wish i knew . spinelli : perhaps i do . [ scene_break ] amy : come on . tell me you did n't love being `` ask man landers . `` nathan : i did n't love being `` ask man landers . `` amy : [ scoffs ] remember that podcast where you decided to go off ? you clearly enjoyed handing out your own advice . nathan : well , i mean , i was n't that bad . amy : [ sighs ] okay . if you need to maintain this cover for the sake of your pride , then i wo n't judge . but i saw the twinkle in your eye after that podcast . you were in your element , telling people what to do . of course , you were . you 're a cop . [ laughs ] nathan : what , you think -- you think being `` ask man landers `` is like being a cop ? amy : it 's better ! i mean , 'cause when you 're `` ask man landers , `` it 's not the badge or the uniform or the gun that people are paying attention to . it 's all you . nathan : um , all right , maybe there 's something to that . amy : laughs ] see ? i knew it ! you love it ! and if the opportunity presented itself , you 'd be happy to keep going . nathan : amy , you 're -- you 're not asking me to go on being `` ask man landers , `` are you ? amy : [ chuckles ] [ scene_break ] felicia : aww ! oh , i love this one ! anna : yeah , that was the day that we brought him back from the hospital . emma : mom was showing him that stuffed dog you sent . anna : mm - hmm . yes . felicia : oh ! i 'd like to have a copy of it to put on the fridge . anna : okay . felicia : what do you think ? mac : uh , good . it 's wonderful . yeah . [ sniffles ] emma : are you crying ? mac : no , no . it 's , uh -- it 's kind of humid in here . okay , you caught me . i 'm just hurt they did n't name the kid mac . felicia : really . emma : i 'm sorry , uncle mac . that was kind of my fault . i told mom and dad that i liked noah better . mac : traitor . felicia : noah robert scorpio - drake . i love it ! anna : yeah , the grandpas do , too . emma : but grandpa robert said robert should go first . anna : well , of course he did , because your grandpa scorpio , you know , he does n't lack confidence . and i personally think that noah robert is the perfect name for a spy . felicia : yeah . anna : or a surgeon . mac : or both . emma : okay , yeah . mac : both . felicia : right ? mac : so ... to the new member of the family . anna : okay . to noah . felicia : to noah . emma : cheers ! mac : cheers . felicia : and all the scorpio - drakes ! anna : yes . [ scene_break ] finn : you wo n't help me find hayden out of respect for hayden ? curtis : well , the truth of the matter is , i already started looking for hayden the moment i realized that she took off . now , i know it 's only been a few hours , but i called in some favors with my contacts at the pd . i asked them to look around at the train depot , ask some questions at the bus station while i personally looked at the rental - car companies and turned the docks upside down . [ sighs ] i 'm thinking she caught a ferryboat to canada . finn : and ? curtis : well , that , too , came up empty . finn : so we dig deeper , all right ? i 'll hire you . name a price . curtis : doc , you think is about money ? finn : no , but the more resources you have , the more ground you can cover . curtis : yeah , and the more we get deeper into her business . look , if this was some random somebody , i 'd be all in . but we 're talking about my friend . finn : right , right . should n't that mean that you want to find her ? curtis : yo , you just do n't get it , do you ? hayden do n't want to be found . she covered all her tracks . she cut all ties . that 's her choice . but more importantly , that 's her right . i do n't got to like it , but i got to respect that . [ scene_break ] dr. obrecht : hayden 's gone ? slunk off into the night like a swindler whose con went wrong ? franco : okay , yeah , that 's one way to put it . and your concern is touching . dr. obrecht : why should i feign concern i do n't feel ? hayden barnes , aka rachel berlin , got what she deserved . franco : maybe . [ sighs ] maybe not . but she 's elizabeth 's sister . dr. obrecht : a sister is not always an ally . believe me , i speak from experience . if anything , i did your porcelain doll a favor . franco : maybe you do n't want to advertise that fact . dr. obrecht : what good is being right if you ca n't shout it from the rafters ? franco : well , would n't it be great to not start a blood feud between my good friend and my girlfriend ? dr. obrecht : i would n't worry about it . the blood wo n't be mine . franco : yeah . do n't underestimate elizabeth . you do n't want to be on her bad side . dr. obrecht : [ laughs ] i 'll take my chances . franco : okay . and what happens if finn finds out what you 've done ? dr. obrecht : i hope he does . the man made me lose my position at this hospital . i wo n't let him take my schadenfreude , too . elizabeth : okay , franco , my shift just ended . can we go now , please ? dr. obrecht : elizabeth . tell your sister i said `` mazel tov . `` if you see her , of course . [ scene_break ] spinelli : i may know what 's keeping nathan from taking the portland plunge . maxie : yeah . do n't keep me in suspense . spit it out , spinelli . spinelli : in a word ... moi . maxie : toi ? you ? spinelli : yes , well , you and i share a child . that 's a powerful bond . he may be jealous of our connection . or he -- he may feel inadequate by comparison . maxie : you 're right -- the willpower it must take to keep from dragging me back to port charles by my hair . i do n't know how he does it . spinelli : if you 'd like , i could have a chat with him . man to man , as it were . maxie : i appreciate that , but i think something else is going on . besides being jealous of you . spinelli : well , the male mind is a mysterious thing . if you 'd like , i could employ my cyber skills to help . maxie : you know , i may take you up on that , but , first , i have a more pressing mystery for the jackal to solve . [ scene_break ] nathan : this whole thing has gotten under my skin , okay ? i just -- i 'm constantly worried that i 'm gon na get found out , that today is the day , you know ? i just -- i do n't think i have the nerve for this kind of thing . amy : you do realize you just described going undercover . nathan : oh , that 's way easier than this . amy : [ scoffs ] deceiving murderous criminals who might kill you if they find out the truth is easier than pretending to be a well - regarded advice columnist ? nathan : yeah , yeah . murderous criminals do n't encourage my in - laws to commit acts of public indecency . amy : [ laughs ] what ? nathan : you do n't want to know . amy : yes , i do ! so spill . what kind of trouble did `` ask man landers `` get into while i was gone ? [ scene_break ] felicia : oh , is that the time ? i 'm late to meet bobbie . anna : oh , send her my love , would you ? the three of us should go out one night and have a drink together . i just ca n't wait to catch up on all the port charles gossip . felicia : [ gasps ] of course . i think we could all use a good laugh . well , i 'll see you at home later . bye . mac : bye . anna : bye . am i missing something ? mac : definitely not . anna : oh . [ cell phone rings ] emma : excuse me . i have to take this . mac : [ laughs ] and i thought we were enough to hold her attention . anna : i think it 's a boy . mac : a boy ? ! anna : it 's okay . shh , shh , shh , shh , shh , shh . mac : do i have to confiscate her phone ? anna : stand down . it 's fine . robin and patrick , they promise me they have this whole situation in hand . do n't worry . do you have anything for me ? mac : [ sighs ] well , just so you know , we 're coming back to the subject of emma and a boy . anna : okay , fine . mac : you hold in your hand a full accounting of everything valentin has been doing in your absence . [ scene_break ] spinelli : i 'm listening . maxie : okay , well , my editor has given me the green light to investigate the publishing crime of the century . spinelli : ooh ! ads masquerading as articles ? cologne samples ? maxie : worse . spinelli : ooh . maxie : there 's this so - called men 's advice columnist out there . he 's actually incredibly popular , despite the fact that he gives terrible advice . i mean , who knows how many lives he 's ruined ? and because he works under an assumed name , you ca n't hold him accountable ! spinelli : so you want me to help expose his true identity , show the masses he 's a charlatan ? maxie : exactly . by the time we 're done with `` ask man landers , `` no one will be asking him to hold an elevator , let alone give advice . spinelli : `` ask man landers `` ? i love that blog ! maxie : you read `` ask man landers , `` too ? ! spinelli : yes , i 'm a loyal follower ! he 's the one that told me to grow this beard . [ scene_break ] amy : i get that this is mortifying , but on the bright side , you 're in good with your in - laws . talk about favors . they 'll give you whatever you want . nathan : i do n't want anything from them , except the ability to look them in the eye . amy : oh . listen , you 're making too much of this . it 's a good story ! one that you 'll all laugh about someday . nathan : right , right . as long as mac and felicia never find out that i 'm the one that encouraged them to go ... try out alfresco relations . amy : you 're innocent . it was `` ask man landers . `` and all he did was advise mac to spice up his love life . it 's his fault he chose to do it in full view of the public . nathan : yeah , well , maxie does n't exactly agree . last time we skyped , she wanted to give , uh , `` ask man landers `` a piece of her mind . amy : how 's she gon na do that ? nathan : how do you think ? she 's going to expose his true identity . amy : what ? ! we ca n't let that happen ! maxie can never know . felicia : know what ? amy : [ chuckles nervously ] nathan : [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] mac : i did what you asked -- kept valentin under surveillance the whole time you were gone . anna : everything 's on here -- meetings with nina and with his lawyer ... trips to the bank , to court ... a horse sanctuary ? mac : in beecher 's corners . he bought up a big property . he 's building barns , facilities . named it for nina . anna : oh . well , that 's love , i suppose . wait . this address ... is n't that julian jerome 's building ? mac : ava 's , too . anna : you think he took a meeting with either one of them ? mac : it 's possible , but i could n't confirm it . anna : wow . what kind of business could valentin have with the jeromes ? mac : your guess is as good as mine . anna : mm . i do n't know . maybe he did n't have any , you know ? maybe it 's just innocent . mac : it 's entirely possible . look , i know you have plenty of reasons to suspect valentin , but maybe he 's turned over a new leaf -- left his criminal past behind . anna : well , i 'd love to trust that you were right about that . but valentin 's gon na have to prove it to me . [ scene_break ] finn : i understand that hayden is your friend , and you do n't want to intrude on her privacy , but you need to understand that i love her , and she 's pregnant with our child , and i need to find her and i ca n't do that on my own . i need your help . curtis : [ sighs ] i 'm sorry . finn : `` i 'm sorry `` ? curtis : i mean ... finn : that 's it ? i know some -- you 're just gon na leave me hanging ? curtis : i know some good pis . finn : oh , that 's great . you know some good pis . but none of them know her the way you do . curtis : it might be an advantage , okay ? finn : nah ! curtis : there 's no bias . finn : they do n't even know where to start looking ! curtis : i get that you 're pissed , okay ? shoot , i would be , too . but hayden made her choice , just like i have . finn : i just ... i just want to see her one more time . just one more time so i can explain myself and try to make things right between us . curtis : i get why that works for you , but it obviously does n't work for hayden . okay ? look ... let me ask you something . if she 'd explained everything to you , would you have let her go ? finn : probably not . curtis : exactly my point . hayden did what was best for hayden . i know it hurts , but we just got to respect her choices , man . finn : you really think it 's that easy ? i love her too much to let her walk out of my life . i screwed up . and so did hayden . you know why ? because we 're both deeply flawed people who probably never should have found each other , but we did . but are you telling me if you were in my place , you 'd just `` let her go `` ? come on , man . have n't you ever needed a second chance ? have n't you ever wanted to make amends ? forget i asked . i do n't need your help . i 'm gon na find her on my own . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : why do n't you just admit it ? you 're the one who brought hayden 's ex to town and sicced him on her . dr. obrecht : spare me the righteous indignation . you and hayden may share common dna , but you are little more than strangers . you do n't even like each other . elizabeth : even if we 're not related , she 's still a human being who 's pregnant , alone , and now on the run . dr. obrecht : i do feel bad for the baby . the little one is innocent , and surely deserved better . but then , so did the young woman forever confined to a wheelchair thanks to hayden 's drunk driving . elizabeth : oh , right , right , right , right , right . because you 're port charles ' shining example of law and order . you did n't do this to right a wrong . you did this to hurt hayden and finn . dr. obrecht : mm , i righted a wrong and hurt them at the same time . it is , as you americans say , a `` two - fer . `` add in the fact that i avenged myself , and it becomes a trifecta ! elizabeth : you 're a bitch . you know that ? franco : but we are leaving . elizabeth : you think you got what you want , but my sister will come back to town , and you will get what you deserve . not necessarily in that order . dr. obrecht : we 'll see about that ! [ chuckles ] [ scene_break ] mac : keep scrolling . you 'll see that valentin spent a night in lockup . anna : he was arrested ? mac : briefly . anna : well , why ? mac : uh , let 's just say that , uh , things between spencer and valentin took an unexpected turn . but do n't worry . everybody 's fine . i 'm guessing that now laura is more inclined to work toward peace rather than escalate tensions . which is great news for you . anna : what 's that supposed to mean ? mac : anna , you spent the better part of a year chasing after valentin . now that chase is over . you 've got your life back . is n't your time too precious to spend it consumed by valentin cassadine ? [ scene_break ] felicia : tell me ! maxie ca n't know what ? amy : it 's a secret ! and if we told you , it would n't be a secret anymore , would it ? nathan : yeah , uh , felicia , this is my friend , amy driscoll . felicia : yes , i - i remember you from the nurses ' ball . you were wonderful . amy : oh , thank you . nathan : uh , amy , this is felicia scorpio , my mother - in - law . amy : i know . i went to high school with maxie . which is why nathan asked me to help him figure out what to get maxie for her birthday . nathan : i 'm a terrible gift giver . amy : mm . felicia : oh , well , that 's very sweet of you , amy , but maxie 's birthday is n't until halloween . nathan : well , i - i know that , but i figured a head start could n't hurt , right ? felicia : mm . amy : so , we 've settled on what we 're gon na do , right ? nathan : definitely . amy : great . well , i have to get to work . i 'll talk to you later . nathan : s - so , uh , what brings you here ? you looking for me ? felicia : i 'm meeting bobbie to discuss a case . but i 'm really glad to see you . i think we should talk about what you 're up to . [ scene_break ] maxie : are you kidding me ? it 's not enough that `` ask man landers `` almost got my parents arrested , but now he 's encouraging hipster beard culture ? spinelli : i 'm sorry . i must confess to some confusion . how did an advice blog get mac and felicia in trouble ? maxie : mm , does that matter ? spinelli : empirically , no , but i just have to wonder why you would take aim at a humble sage just trying to enlighten his fellow man . maxie : humble , my foot ! if your guru really wants to help people , why all the subterfuge ? spinelli : he just values his privacy . maxie : or perhaps he 's not the all - knowing player he claims to be . perhaps if his readers knew the truth , they would n't follow his advice like `` dude - bro `` lemmings . and when i flush him out , my boss will see that i deserve a larger role at the magazine . spinelli : ooh ! maxie : or perhaps if i break this story , my boss ' boss will see that i deserve to be the boss ! [ scene_break ] finn : what was that about ? dr. obrecht : nurse webber was lamenting her sister 's sudden decision to decamp without so much as a fare - thee - well . and on the eve of her wedding . what could have driven a woman in her condition to take such drastic action ? tell me , dr. finn -- were the two of you having difficulties ? [ clicking tongue ] is n't that always the way ? the people who seem the happiest are often concealing sadness ... and secrets . what a shame ms. barnes felt compelled to run from her problems . when i was unfairly dismissed from this hospital , i , too , considered packing my bags . but then i remembered -- i have friends here , family , people that i love and who love me in return . i knew they would miss me . a better idea , i decided , was to stick it out ... and stick it to those who hurt me . finn : you did this . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : it 's typical obrecht to go after hayden instead of admitting it 's her own fault she got fired . franco : liesl 's always had her own particular way of looking at the world . elizabeth : i do n't understand why you want anything to do with that woman . franco : you know , there 's a lot of people in this world , i 'm sure , who do n't understand why you want to have anything to do with me . elizabeth : that 's different . you 've worked really hard to become a better person . but obrecht is and will always be an unrepentant ... franco : obrecht is a friend of mine , and i do n't disagree with you . what she did to hayden sucks , but ... just tell me what i can do now to help you feel better about things . elizabeth : well , you just being here makes me feel better . [ door closes ] elizabeth : tell me about new york . franco : uh , seriously ? i already told you . it was fine . elizabeth : tell me . franco : the suit 's been settled . most of my artwork 's been returned , and ... i missed you . i was away for too long . i hated being away from you . i hated being away from the boys , too . elizabeth : yeah , we were n't too happy about that , either . franco : so maybe we make a new rule that nobody ever leaves port charles ? elizabeth : well , that would n't be fair . it 's a big world out there . i would n't want you to miss it . franco : you trying to get rid of me ? elizabeth : [ laughs ] no . i 'm just saying you should feel free to roam about . as long as you come back . there 's always room . franco : there 's always room in port charles ? elizabeth : in this house . there 's always room for you .

[ voice breaking ] because he wanted to find out who put me in a coma . little did he know it was you ! you did it , so it seems only fitting and fair that you were n't able to go to his funeral . it is fair that you are not allowed to see his son or touch his son or love his son . and i hope -- and look at me !

[ sighs ] britt : how is elizabeth a problem ? i do n't understand . am i missing something ? are you together ? nikolas : no . no , no . it 's nothing like that . it 's just i do n't think it would be fair to you if i was n't honest . britt : okay . [ thunder rumbling ] nikolas : [ sighs ] god , i ... i still have feelings for her , okay ? i ... i 'm sorry . i - i really am . it 's just she and i -- we 've always had this -- this miserable timing . this last go - around , i - i thought there was something there to explore , but then she decided to go back to ric , and then ric was killed , and then here we go again -- this -- this dance that we do together . you know , are we friends ? are -- are we more ? what are we ? and today , i just -- i got the impression that she wanted to be with me again , and it ... britt : and is that what you want ? nikolas : y - yes . yes . i want to start over with elizabeth . britt : so are you saying you do n't have feelings for me at all ? franco : so , carly responded to sonny 's kiss ? and then ? and then ? nina : well , no `` then . `` i do n't know . i was n't gon na sit there and watch . that would have been rude . i 'm not rude . so i just wheeled away . sorry . i 'm sorry i did n't tell you before . i did n't want to hurt you . it was just a kiss . it 's just a kiss . i 'm sure it meant nothing . it was probably just a moment of comfort that -- that went too far . i mean , what else could it possibly be ? and if it makes you feel better , it was sonny who initiated the kiss . franco : you know what would make me feel better ... is if i killed the son of a bitch . carly : we have chemistry , sonny . if anything , we 've always had too much chemistry . sonny : and that 's a problem for you ? carly : it 's a problem if we give in to it , because what we have now is perfect . we trust each other . sonny : yeah , we -- no matter how pissed you are with me , you -- you help me cover the thing up with a.j . carly : of course , for michael . sonny : and when i walked in to ava 's trap , and i slept with her , and morgan -- the whole thing hurt him -- you forgave me . carly : yes , because i 'm not here to judge you . sonny : you think i can fix things with michael and morgan ? carly : yes , i know you can . it 's just gon na take a little time , that 's all . sonny : what -- what kind of a bastard would i be to ignore ... the terrible mistake you 're gon na make ? that 's all i 'm saying , carly . carly : it 's not a mistake , okay ? sonny : okay , yes , it is . three of your kids hate this man you 're with . morgan moved out of here because he does n't want to live with the guy , and josslyn -- it 's not an option . she 's a little girl . how do you think -- what goes on in michael 's head when he sees you smiling with that guy ? carly : you know , i 'm not gon na defend franco to you . sonny : i do n't care about franco ! [ thunder crashes ] sonny : i care about you , so if you love him like you say you do , nothing i do ... would get to you . my kiss would n't get to you . you would n't get flustered . you would n't feel this pull that we have between us . you 're feeling it right now . britt : come on , nikolas . you ca n't say you do n't have any feelings left for me . nikolas : you 're right . you 're right . i ca n't say that . britt , my feelings for you ... have not changed . i ca n't just stop loving you . it -- it does n't work that way for me . but whatever feelings i - i have for you are complicated by the fact that you betrayed me for -- for months , you know ? britt : come on , nikolas . what do i have to do to prove how much i care about you ? nikolas : britt , you have done quite a lot to restore my trust in you in these past few months . [ sighs ] i could n't have gotten through that whole spencer thing if it were n't for you . you were right by my side the whole time . i care about you a lot . i do . but i do n't want to hurt you . i do n't want to hurt you by sleeping with you if maybe there 's some hope between me and elizabeth . it would n't be right . britt : i do n't care what 's right , nikolas . i want to sleep with you anyway . elizabeth : so maxie 's fiancé , the guy with the long hair -- he turned out to be a criminal ? felicia : several times over . he 's wanted for multiple crimes . elizabeth : oh , my god , you guys . so he 's in custody now ? felicia : no . he got away . he kidnapped my daughter . lucy : and her matron of honor . elizabeth : wait . who was her matron of honor ? lucy : lulu falconeri . dante : this guy dunkleman -- he 's got my wife . okay , so you better tell me where the hell he was headed . quint : i 'm sorry , detective . i - i - i really am , but they did n't tell me where they were going . anna : well , they must have told you -- quint : they chartered my boat and told me where to pick them up . anna : well , how much gas did they tell you to get ? quint : uh , it was a full tank , but , uh , you know , they did n't tell me where -- as soon as we got out of the harbor , they chucked me overboard . anna : well , where did they head after that ? quint : northwest . nathan : are you sure ? quint : positive . nathan : they 're headed to canada . anna : okay . okay , get this guy down to the station . put him in lockup . quint : i - i told you everything , uh , that i know ! hey , i 'm the victim here . that was my boat they stole . hey ! they left me to drown there ! officer hoffman : a chopper pilot spotted quint 's boat from the air . anna : okay . dante : he see the girls ? officer hoffman : i 'm sorry , detective . by the time the pilot got to the boat , it was sinking . they 're probably at the bottom of the lake now . sonny : have you thought about that kiss ? carly : i told you it was a bad impulse that we should n't have acted on . sonny : really ? 'cause it did n't feel bad to me . carly : do you want some more wine ? sonny : yeah , i 'd love some more wine as soon as you answer the question . carly : sonny -- sonny : have you thought about that kiss ? carly : i have other things to think about . sonny : oh , okay . carly : yeah , i have -- i have three kids . i have a business , and i have so many things to focus on other than my ex - husband randomly kissing me when he should know better . sonny : is there a reason you 're getting all flustered ? carly : i 'm just -- i 'm not ! you know ? and -- and -- and maybe if -- if i am , it 's because , of course , you would think that one kiss would change everything . i mean , you really believe that you are that wonderful -- that you 're that irresistible , and what you are is that arrogant . sonny : well , you knew i was arrogant , so , i mean , it 's better than pretending to be something like modest . carly : not gon na happen . you 're not gon na come in here and sweep me off my feet . it 's not gon na happen because i know you , sonny . i know how you operate . i 'm immune . sonny : really ? carly : yes , really . sonny : hmm . carly : so i 'm gon na answer your question . i have n't thought about that kiss . no , i did n't feel a connection . you have n't been on my mind . it 's as if the kiss never happened .

[ scene_break ] hayden : and then there were three . laura : hayden , i 'm sorry about what my daughter said . she 's hurt . hayden : i 'm not surprised she lashed out . laura : thank you for not shattering my daughter 's image of her brother . hayden : i 'll be the first to admit that my marriage to nikolas was doomed , but it was n't all bad . i mean , we had our moments . maybe we just , um ... needed more time to figure things out . you know , you always think you have plenty of time . then you wake up one day , and you have none .

[ scene_break ] maxie : so , after that night of being trapped together in the car , reminiscing about their life together , claudette makes the not - so - shocking decision to stick around town . and in the middle of all that , nathan wants to get married . like , yesterday . which would be wonderful and romantic if i was n't so afraid it was a secret reaction to claudette . you 're supposed to tell me what i think about all this . lulu : you 're supposed to stop acting like a lunatic .

[ scene_break ] courtney : i 'm so relieved . nikolas : that we pulled back in time ? courtney : look , i just -- i have n't given up on my marriage yet , you know . i still think that jax and i can work things out , you know ? i mean , but if we 'd slept together , i do n't think he could have ever come back from that . nikolas : now you 'll never have to . listen , i want to be clear about one thing here , ok ? even though this ca n't go any further , i do n't regret one single minute that i 've spent with you . courtney : that 's sweet . nikolas : oh , i 'm not just -- i 'm not just saying that , courtney . ok ? you 've been wonderful to me . you 've listened . you 've been my friend . most of all , you 've helped me get to a major realization in my life and that 's that emily and i have a lot of problems , a lot of problems , and we 're about to add this to the mix . but i 'd like to believe that we can get through it . i 'd like to believe that loving emily will be enough . i ca n't give her up without a fight . [ scene_break ] jax : i need to speak with elizabeth . lucky : well , she 's not here . what 's your problem ? jax : it 's your brother , actually . he 's been panting after my wife for weeks . lucky : hardly . jax : oh , really ? i mean , how do you explain him showing up wherever she happens to be , including the bahamas ? yeah , that 's right . i wanted to take courtney away so that we could be alone . the only reason i sent her ahead was because this place was finished and i wanted to present it to you and liz . lucky : nobody asked you . jax : yeah , that 's right , you ungrateful bastard , but i did it anyway . and when i wrapped things up here , i went to join my wife in the bahamas , but guess what -- guess who beat me to it . that 's right -- your brother , only this time he managed to seduce her . it was n't enough for him to wreck his own marriage . he had to bring mine down with it . lucky : hey , if you could have been any kind of husband at all , maybe courtney would n't have been available for seduction . if courtney slept with nikolas -- and i have my doubts -- you 'd have nobody to blame but yourself . your wife has been in agony with this whole surrogacy thing . instead of making your wife feel better , you 've been fawning over elizabeth instead . why do n't you just accept responsibility and quit trying to make nikolas the scapegoat ? elizabeth : what 's going on ? lucky : jax seems to think that nikolas and courtney slept together . elizabeth : well , he 's wrong , because they did n't . jax : i was there , ok ? emily walked in on them . elizabeth : emily walked in on two people that were caught in a rainstorm , wearing robes to dry off . nikolas swears that nothing happened . jax : really ? and that surprises you ? he has a lot at stake . lucky : maybe the concept of honorable is hard for you to grasp , but my brother would never betray his vows to emily . and if he did , he would n't lie about it . elizabeth : i agree with lucky . we know nikolas , you do n't . so you better think about this before you throw away your marriage over something that did n't even happen .

[ scene_break ] spinelli : so of course i was disappointed by maximista 's initial lack of response to my proposal , although i was heartened by her decision to wear my ring , but the world has since righted itself , and she has accepted my hand , despite the proud patriarch 's fierce rage . it is of his opinion that i am not worthy of maximista . and actually , on that point , we do agree , but miraculously , she has chosen me regardless . jax : how 's that trace coming ? spinelli : oh , it 's in -- it 's in progress . actually , in the meantime , maybe i could take advantage of having two experts in the field . carly : experts ? jax : what field ? spinelli : w -- in the path to the altar , as it were . well , i -- i mean , at last count , i think there 's 12 such journeys between the two of you . um , and , uh , i mean , stop me if i flounder , but , uh , the valkyrie , what , started with a.j . and then , well , sonny , sonny once again , and then sonny once again and then , um , the late and unlamented darth alcazar and , uh , sonny and then , uh , well , o - of course the white knight . let 's see . there would be miranda first , then alexis and skye and courtney and then the valkyrie . yay . and that does not include the , um , 3 weddings to brenda that were either interrupted or deemed illegal . jax : right . carly : he 's done his homework . spinelli : well , so , in your vastly well informed opinion , um , what do you think would be the most romantic site for maximista and i to join in matrimonial bliss ? [ scene_break ] sam : that crawl space was filthy . if your wounds were n't infected , they definitely are now . jason : [ wincing ] if i could just get some -- get some water and some sleep -- sam : no , no , no , no , no , no . what you need is a doctor , but there 's no way to make that happen . jason , the cars -- cars do n't work , and i ca n't go on foot . oh , my god . i 'm not gon na leave you alone , okay ? jason : okay . sam : not gon na leave you alone . jason : i made a promise . whatever happens , i 'll be okay . [ scene_break ] robin : hello . andrea : hey . robin : this is a little odd . most people would knock or ring the doorbell , but whatever floats your boat . patrick : uh , andrea , please , come on in . andrea : i ca n't imagine what that must have looked like , me peering in the window that way . i was just trying to decide whether to interrupt or not . robin : well , here you are . is there a reason for coming to our house at such a late hour ? andrea : one of my housekeepers said she ran into you outside of my home earlier . i just wanted to make sure there was n't something you wanted to see me about . robin : no . actually , i was just jogging by with my little girl , and i wanted to change her . i was n't on your property , if that 's what you were worried about . andrea : there 's no need for hostility . at least , not apparently to me , but you see things differently . so why do n't we just cut to the chase ? i mean , clearly you 're very interested in my personal life , so here 's the green light . just ask me anything you wan na know . [ scene_break ] nikolas : you see what happens when you leave me to my own devices ? i am a walking disaster . you think being a -- a dupe for rebecca and ethan would be enough . no , no , no . i had to top it , did n't i ? i am so ashamed of myself right now , emily . i did something so wrong , so selfish tonight . elizabeth came out here , and she just wanted to help me . instead of being humble and grateful , i took advantage of her kindness instead . heh heh . [ sighs ] because the part of me that is good and honorable , it 's -- it 's gone , gone missing somewhere . you took it with you , and all that 's left now is this bottomless pit of insatiable need . and then the one woman that i thought could make a difference ... molly : who are you talking to ? [ scene_break ] carly : okay . great minds think alike , but mine works even faster , evidenced by the fact that spinelli is here running the trace when you went to call him . sonny : well , i never denied you 're more devious than i am . carly : see , now that 's supposed to be a zing , but it 's not going to insult me at all . not at all . jax : how you holding up ? alexis : ah , much better now that i know kristina and michael are all right . so how -- what is the progress with spinelli ? jax : ah , spinelli seems confident that he can find their location by that e - mail . soon as he does , i 'm gon na go down there and get them . sonny : oh , no , no , no . that 's not happening , 'cause they 're my kids . i 'm the one that 's gon na go . jax : with all due respect , sonny , your first impulse was to let jason handle it , and we all know how well that 's going , do n't we ? we have n't heard from him in days . [ scene_break ] [ jungle birds calling ] sam : come on . there you go . jason : [ sighs ] that feels good . sam : that 's the idea . jason : i -- you look -- you look sad . sam : no . uh - uh . i 'm great . jason : i know this is n't what you had in mind . but i 'll -- i 'll be better tomorrow . then we could swim in the cove that you like . sam : cove ? jason : i - i 'm glad you talked me into comin ' to hawaii . you were right . it 's very peaceful .

[ scene_break ] elizabeth : are you okay ? lucky : yeah . i was just thinking maybe we should n't have left nikolas . he seemed so dark . elizabeth : i have a feeling we were n't helping very much . lucky : you were , i mean , before i showed up . i mean , if what i saw of nikolas was an improvement , how was he when you got to him ? elizabeth : he was angry and hurt , like anyone would be after finding out that someone they cared and trusted played them for a fool . lucky : and i know you . so why are you pretending you 're not upset about something ? nikolas was n't abusive towards you , was he ? elizabeth : no . god , no . i mean , he may be humiliated , but he 's still nikolas . he would never hurt me . lucky : why are you so tense ? elizabeth : because -- because i -- i do n't like to see him in this much pain , and i just wish there was something i could do to help him , but i ca n't .

[ scene_break ] alexis : apparently molly is being affected by this as well . she snuck out of the house . poor viola 's gon na feel terrible , but she made her way to wyndemere . jax : what for ? alexis : i did n't get that far . my guess is she wanted nikolas to wave his magic wand and make the situation all better . jax : yeah , but sneakin ' out of the house , that does n't sound like molly at all . alexis : both my kids are escaping . i 'm gon na have to padlock the house . carly : it ca n't be surprising that with michael and kristina gone , that the little ones are gon na try the same thing . we just got ta find them and bring 'em home . alexis : are you going after them right away ? jax : as soon as spinelli nails the location , yes . sonny : that has to happen soon , genius . and , jax , you know , i 'm gon na go . i 'm gon na get -- jax : you ca n't go after them , sonny . sonny : heh heh . jax : okay , you admitted yourself that you could lead your enemies straight to your kids . let me handle this , okay ? sonny : okay , you know what ? i - i 've tried to get along with you since you 're carly 's husband and you 're a fact of my life . they 're my children . i 'm goin ' after them . [ computer beeps ] jax : could you leave your stupid pride out of this , okay , and think about what 's best for michael and kristina here ? alexis : all right , do n't get mad at me , but i agree with him , because he 's not gon na bring an element into it that will make the situation -- sonny : i 'm goin ' after my children . final . carly : well , whoever goes , i 'm ridin ' shotgun , and that 's final . jax : no , you 're not riding shotgun . carly : i am going ! jax : you 're staying here on bed rest , carly . carly : i do n't care . spinelli : excuse me . i 'm -- i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry to interrupt . i just feel like i should let you all know that i -- i have failed . sonny : failed ? spinelli : uh , yes . i - it seems the youngsters ' cyber savvy is , uh -- is too much for even me to handle . sonny : whatever that means , you better not be tellin ' me you ca n't find those kids . spinelli : well , i shall o - of course , uh , redouble my efforts . um , but i -- i feel the e - mail is a useless tracking tool . uh , my advice , uh , just trust in stone cold . i 'm sure he 'll recover the young ones . sonny : get your useless butt out of here . oh , man . that 's -- that 's like ...

[ scene_break ] elizabeth : nikolas has never come out of the grieving process . everything he does -- fixating on rebecca , being self - destructive -- is all about emily 's death , and any woman who comes into his life right now is just a substitute for emily . lucky : and i tried to tell him that before he started getting involved with rebecca . elizabeth : we all did -- you , me , alexis . he did n't wan na hear it , remember ? lucky : you know what ? this just -- just makes me realize all over again how fortunate we are that nothing 's happened between us that we ca n't take back . [ scene_break ] nikolas : you know , this might be a silly thing to ask you , but do you know what `` self - centered `` means ? molly : sure . selfish . nikolas : exactly . exactly . and that is what i have been lately , selfish , wrapped up in myself , you know . i wan na thank you for pointing out what i should have seen myself . my family 's in trouble , and you and your mom and kristina , you need me , and i think that that 's one thing i might be able to get right , so i promise i will use all my influence at my disposal to fix things . molly : thanks . nikolas : you 're welcome . molly : by the way , who were you talking to before ? nikolas : oh , right . emily . i know you know that she 's not with us anymore , but i still love her , and it helps me to talk to her every once in a while . you know what ? she would be a - appalled by the way i 've been conducting myself lately , so ... that 's all gon na stop . yeah . [ scene_break ] spinelli : oh , sorry to keep you waiting . diane : i do n't know if you 're aware , but if you 're not , you should be . i charge double when i am summoned out of bed , triple when i 'm not alone . and while i am sure that jason will pay , i 'm sure he 's going to wonder just exactly what the emergency is . spinelli : actually , uh , this is not stone cold 's monetary responsibility . i called upon your services , and i will pay whatever you demand . diane : oh . well , in that case , mr. grasshopper , how can i be of service ? spinelli : the jackal 's last will and testament must be revised immediately . diane : why the sudden urgency ? has someone threatened your life ? do i -- do i really want to be here with you ? spinelli : no , you are -- you are quite safe . it 's not by , uh , ambush that i fear my death . it 's something much more up close and personal . diane : oh , i just know i 'm gon na regret this , but tell me everything . spinelli : the jackal 's presence was requested rather pleasantly a - at first by the valkyrie and her white knight , but soon the occasion expanded and mr. sir arrived and demanded rather ferociously that i -- diane : yeah , bup - bup - bup - bup . sonny threatened to kill you ? spinelli : well , not yet , but i expect him to . diane : ho ho . well , what on earth for ? i mean , i know you drive sonny bonkers to the point of distraction , but murder is a rather extreme reaction , even for sonny , do n't you think ? spinelli : yeah , i expect that will change when he learns that i , um , in front of him and the other parental units , located the fugitive teens and , well , neglected to mention it . diane : oh , dear . spinelli : yes . and once that becomes clear to mr. sir , i expect that my life will -- will not be worth the proverbial plugged nickel . um , and of course only stone cold could dissuade mr. sir from enacting horrible and lethal vengeance , and unfortunately stone cold is nowhere to be found . [ scene_break ] jason : wh - what do you wan na do tomorrow ? sam : well , we said no plans , remember ? we 're just gon na take each -- each day that comes . we 'll do whatever you wan na do . and just sit by the water and -- and veg . then what we 'll do -- jason : no , you always -- you always make it about me . i wan na do something for you for a change . sam : oh , wow . come on , jason . really . like you are n't the guy who was there for me when i was pregnant with someone else 's baby . you were the guy who held pieces of me together when my -- when my daughter died . and you certainly made the last few months of my brother 's life just amazing . so , right , yeah . heh . it sucks to be me . i have n't reaped one , single benefit from -- jason : and you were shot at , threatened , and roughed up . sam : yeah . nobody 's perfect . jason : i 'm serious . i -- i wan na do somethin ' for you . sam : okay . you can . you can just keep talking . keep talking , connecting like this . [ scene_break ] patrick : emma is down , and i have to give her some props . her timing is impeccable . if she did n't start crying , i 'm sure you would have accused andrea of murder before you had any evidence . robin : [ sighs ] what -- she knows that i suspect her . patrick : really ? now you -- so , what ? you just do n't care anymore ? robin : it 's time to solve this case . as far as i 'm concerned , the gloves are off . patrick : hmm . so what 's next , sherlock ? robin : well , i think we need to get inventory of what was in the hotel suite that night , see if anything was missing , preferably an object heavy enough to have killed brianna and small enough for andrea to have put it in her purse . it would also be nice to get a witness of , uh , someone seeing andrea at the hotel the time of the murder . patrick : you said it yourself . she 's cold and calculating . if she knows that you suspect her , she 's gon na work twice as hard to cover her tracks . robin : i 'm ready for andrea floyd .

[ scene_break ] carly : i do n't know whether to be impressed that michael 's computer skills are advanced enough to stump spinelli or to be even more worried . sonny : i do n't buy it . jason swears you put a computer in front of that weirdo , and he can heal the world . what 's happening is spinelli 's gettin ' lazy because his master is n't around to please . what he needs is a fire lit under his butt , and i 'm just the one to do it . carly : okay , you know what , sonny ? let 's hope it does n't come to that , all right ? let 's just hope that jason finds michael and kristina and he calls and then he 'll bring 'em home . jax : well , that would be the best possible outcome . i mean , jason 's profile 's a hell of a lot smaller than yours . [ cell phone rings ] alexis : it 's mac . excuse me . what can i do for you , commissioner ? mac : i 'm sure this wo n't come as a surprise , but i wanted you to hear it from me . the final lab results came back on the paint chips from the scrape on the bumper on your second hybrid . it was a match to claudia 's car . alexis : [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] spinelli : as soon as the white knight and mr. sir began arguing about who would fetch the wayward teens , it became very clear to me that mr. sir would not be dissuaded , but as jax rightly pointed out , mr. sir is a target for violence . his presence there might further endanger michael and kristina . i -- i did n't want to risk their tender , young lives . diane : i agree . jax is the wisest choice , although sonny will never see it that way . he wo n't be stopped . spinelli : my sentiments exactly , which leads us to our current predicament and need to make sure my worldly affairs are in order . diane : [ laughing ] yes . yes , well -- ahem . it never hurts to be prepared , and i think it 's very generous of you to want to split your estate between maxie and your grandmother , but i do n't think these precautions are necessary . spinelli : of course . i - i 'm sure you 're right . but the -- the point will soon be moot , for stone cold and samantha , i am sure , are closing in on the missing teens as we speak . [ scene_break ] sam : by far the most beautiful sunset i think we ever saw was off the coast of maui . we were in the middle of nowhere , and the sky -- are you in pain ? jason : i 'm fine . sam : heh . i should know better than to ask , 'cause your answer is always the same . jason : i do n't say it enough ... but i love you . sam : i love you , too .

[ scene_break ] suzanne : murphy proposed ? brenda : ha ha ha ha ! i know . but i think it 's just because he 's so famous right now . i mean , you know , he 's going through that time period where he feels like he ca n't trust anyone , and i think he just wants to feel like there 's somebody real in his life . and i happened to be sitting right in front of him , so he picked me . suzanne : well , so , are congratulations in order ? brenda : no . i have n't given him an answer yet . suzanne : [ sighs ] you are either showing remarkable restraint or you 're certifiable . i can tell . murphy is a movie star and an actual human being . that 's a rare combination . brenda : i know , he really is a decent , decent human being . i like him . and he likes me . anyway , i think we work really well together . suzanne : oh , well . that sounds more like a merger than a romance . brenda : exactly . you know what i do love about him , though ? i love that he does n't try to make any big romantic gestures to impress me . you know , it 's like he 's just sweet and sincere and i think he just ... wants to feel like there 's somebody in his life he can count on . oh , gosh . i actually feel like i can count on him , too . suzanne : so why have n't you said yes ? [ scene_break ] sonny : i 've been thinking of emailing brenda . it 's just that i 've been busy , and i 'm sure she 's busy , and you know , the ... robin : that 's the thing about email , it just takes a minute to draft it up , you send it off , and then brenda could look at it whenever she wants to . sonny : why are you gon na push this ? robin : i 'm not . okay , maybe i will just a little bit . sonny : she 's halfway across the world and living her own life . robin : it does n't mean she would n't like to hear from you . you know , she asked me about you . sonny : really ? what did you tell her ? robin : i told her you were great . i did n't go into any detail . i figured you would be the one to fill her in . sonny : you 're not gon na let this go , are you ? robin : sonny , you two loved each other a lot , and it was never really resolved . sonny : i think about brenda like , you know , every now and then . robin : and now years have passed , both of you have gained some perspective . maybe now you can deal with each other in a more reasonable way . sonny : i think the past is better left in the past . robin : it just seems to me that for all you two meant to each other , you should at least be in touch . [ scene_break ] jason : i got nothing to say to you without my attorney . ronnie : all right , in that case we 'll take you down to the pcpd for questioning . sam : wait a minute . there 's no way that jason could have blown up one of johnny zacchara 's warehouses . he was here with me all night . ronnie : look , you 're not exactly a credible witness . out of prison 24 hours and you 're already causing mayhem ? you do n't waste any time , do you , morgan ? sam : you know perfectly well jason did n't do this . ronnie : look , he 's the obvious suspect . sonny got his enforcer back , told him to retaliate , and , hey , the fireworks go off . i told claire walsh that she was a fool to engineer your release , and the sooner we get you back to pentonville , the better . sam : wait a minute . has it even occurred to you that santos lopez might have been the one to blow up the warehouse ? johnny 's the one who 's under investigation for the murder of his brother . it makes sense that he 'd be the one to retaliate . ronnie : look , as far as i 'm concerned , we got our guy , okay ? cuff him . ronnie : you have the right to remain silent . anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law . you have a right to an attorney . if you can not afford an attorney , one will be provided for you at interrogation time and in court . [ scene_break ] dante : how did lulu seem ? was she upset ? was she crying ? was she calling me names i probably deserve ? michael : actually , no . she was pretty calm . she just told me to keep an eye on you , make sure you were still breathing . dante : i 'm surprised she did n't put a pillow over my head herself . michael : well , i said i 'd look after you and she just took off . dante : well , you ca n't blame her there . michael : she did say that brook was a total skeeve , by the way , if that counts for anything . dante : did she happen to mention what brook and i were doing ? michael : yeah . you were sitting on the couch and she was sitting in your lap in her underwear . dante : oh , my god . this is so freakin ' bad . she 's gon na think i 'm a total dog . brook was in her underwear ? michael : yeah , and she seemed like more than a willing participant . dante : how could this happen ? i do n't understand . why would someone want to drug me ? michael : i do n't know . dante : i got ta find a way to apologize to lulu . that 's assuming she talks to me ever again . [ scene_break ] mike : that loft has really got ta be crowded with michael , dante , and lulu stopping by . olivia : i think that dante is very happy to have michael under his roof . mike : yeah . but it 's pretty tough on sonny . i mean , he wants to see michael , but the court order says limited contact , and , uh , dante is sticking to it . olivia : i would n't expect anything else from my son . mike : but , you know , your influence could go a long way in -- you know , toward making peace between dante and sonny . olivia : i do n't think that i have a whole lot of influence with either one of them these days . johnny : i 'd like a coffee . black , please . mike : i do n't know how many times you need to hear this , but you 're not welcome here . olivia : uh , mike , what were you just saying a second ago about making peace ? mike : that does n't extend to johnny . johnny : you know , you do n't own kelly 's . the spencers do . and last time i checked with ethan , who is a spencer , he said i can come here anytime i want . mike : when i hear it from a spencer , you 'll get served , not before . olivia : thank you , honey . mike : sure . johnny : thank you , honey . well , at least one of us got coffee . olivia : you know , you keep pushing this vendetta with sonny , you 're not gon na be able to get a cup of coffee anywhere in this town . johnny : i 'm just hoping that once the storm clears that there 's still room for you and me . olivia : you know where i stand on that , john . johnny : i still love you , olivia . and i think if you 're honest with yourself , you still love me , too . [ scene_break ] sonny : i was n't actually a positive experience for brenda . robin : and brenda was n't a picnic for you either . in fact , looking back , she was pretty immature . sonny : yeah , she did have a way of turning me inside and out and back again . robin : you and brenda were flawed , yes , but who is n't ? there was a reason you two were drawn to each other . sonny : [ sighs ] i do admit she did bring out the best in me . robin : mm - hmm . when you and brenda were good , you were really good . sonny : yeah . robin : you were happy . sonny : right . robin : i mean , the happiest i 've ever seen you . and as your friend , i just want you to be happy again . so , if you do n't want to email her , just call her . it might be nice to hear her voice . i do n't know . [ scene_break ] brenda : i do honestly care about murphy . i could very easily love him . but he does n't deserve that . suzanne : forget what you could very easily do . you either love the man or you do n't . brenda : i just said that i could love him . there would just be something that was always missing . suzanne : and what would that be ? brenda : my heart . my heart 's somewhere else . suzanne : ohh . well ... this , uh , other man , is he a realistic option ? brenda : no , he 's not . we 've been out of each other 's lives for a really long time . and if i was with murphy , my heart would be divided most of the time , and he just ... he does n't deserve that , even though he actually said that he could handle it . i ... i should n't do that to him , right ? i would n't do that to him . suzanne : uh ... this man that you 're about to drop - kick a movie star for , is he alive or dead ? [ scene_break ] dante : oh , god , lulu , i am so , so sorry . lulu : you know , it 's not something you -- dante : i would never do anything to hurt you , okay ? and obviously i did , but i do not remember a thing . i will take a lie detector test if you want me to , anything to prove how much you mean to me . lulu : i -- i just do n't -- dante : michael told me that i was kissing brook lynn , and you have to know i would never do that in my right mind . i love you . and only you . i would never cheat on you or betray you . you have to tell me what i can do to make this right . [ scene_break ] maxie : how dare you show your trashy face at kelly 's ? lulu 's family owns this place . lulu , you know , dante 's girlfriend , the guy you drugged and tried to seduce last night ? brook lynn : drugged ? what in god 's name are you talking about ? maxie : save it . i 've been onto you since you showed up at jake 's singing that cheesy karaoke song , making doe eyes at dante , trying to flash some cleavage . brook lynn : no , you have your facts mixed up . dante was the one who was eyeing me . maxie : you 're pathetic . not to mention desperate , because the second dante left , you were all over johnny . port charles does not need a slut like you . brook lynn : why ? because it already has a slut like you ? maxie : i 'm onto you . if you think that you can break up dante and lulu , think again . there 's not a doubt in anyone 's mind except yours about how much he cares for her . brook lynn : you know , this is so entertaining coming from you . did you forget about the whole diego incident ? look , maxie , if i wanted dante , i would n't have to try . maxie : you 're a long way from bensonhurst . i suggest that you pack up your things and slink back there with your tail between your legs , or i will expose you for the trash that you really are . [ scene_break ] [ knock on door ] sam : sonny ! sonny ? hey . okay , um , jason got dragged in for questioning by detective dimestico . apparently one of johnny zacchara 's warehouses were torched last night and he 's the prime suspect . sonny : did you call diane ? sam : i did , yeah . she 's on her way down to the pcpd right now , but i just need to know if you 're the one who put the hit out on -- sonny : absolutely not . it had to be santos lopez . sam : all right . okay , good . i figured that . sonny : the cops are just blowing smoke . they 're upset because jason 's out of prison . i 'm sure diane can get this thrown out of court for lack of evidence . sam : okay , ronnie just hates jason so much , and i 'm sure that he just wants to see him back in prison again . [ scene_break ] ronnie : you know , i have to applaud your work ethic . the first night out of prison , you 're already back on the job , burning down a building . jason : yeah , like i said , i do n't have anything to say to you without my attorney . ronnie : look , claire walsh left a loophole in the plea bargain . okay ? but sure enough , sonny comes along , works his magic on her , and abracadabra , you 're free . what is it with this sonny guy ? seriously , what is he , like -- what is he , the pied piper ? the guy marches into hell and everybody follows him . but i tell you , his charisma is lost on me . and it wo n't be enough to save you twice , morgan . you 've been getting away with murder way too long , and that 's over now . that 's why you 're on the next bus to pentonville . jason : what are you doing here ? ronnie : well , i think that , uh , michael knows more than he 's saying about the drive - by that nearly took johnny zacchara 's life . jason : no , michael does n't know anything . ronnie : what makes you so sure ? jason : you want me , right ? you come and get me . you leave michael out of this . ronnie : detective falconeri claims that you came to the scene after the shooting , to give him his cell phone . but a witness said she saw a big blond kid . so i 'm having trouble with the discrepancy . will you clear it up for me ? jason : do n't say anything . ronnie : do n't listen to him . he 's making you look guilty . do n't forget this is the same guy that told you to cover up claudia 's murder , and you see where that got you . all right . come on , michael . you know how this works , right ? the truth 's gon na come out sooner or later . but if you just come clean right now , i 'll tell the judge that you cooperated and that -- that 'll really look good for you . michael : you 're right . i 'm not gon na cover up anything anymore . ronnie : ah , that 's good . okay . all right , so tell me what happened . now , were you with johnny zacchara during the shooting ? michael : i 'm not saying anything without my lawyer . ronnie : what is he , a parrot ? what is wrong with you ? you 're teaching this kid to be a criminal . diane : detective dimestico , is the d.a . aware that you are questioning not one but two of my clients without benefit of counsel ? ronnie : both your clients are suspects . diane : who are innocent until proven guilty and retain certain rights under the law , no matter how inconvenient that might be for reactionary law enforcement types like you . jason : he 's just using michael to get to me . get michael released , and get him suspended .

[ scene_break ] nikolas : when you say sonny found aj raging , what do you mean ? did he hit connie or was he about to ? elizabeth : no , you have to understand . aj was channeling all of his anger and disappointment into connie . he feels that she 's the reason he lost elq . and then he said some really stupid things . nikolas : what do you mean ? what things ? elizabeth : i know he did n't mean it ... but aj said if he had a gun , he would have killed her .

[ scene_break ] ric : ladies and gentlemen , i want to tell you a story . it 's not a fairy tale , though . it 's , uh -- it 's a brutal story with a very unhappy ending . but it is a very , very simple story . it 's a clear - cut tale of murder . the accused is a known serial killer -- robert james frank , aka franco baldwin . but while mr. baldwin should be spending the rest of his natural life in prison behind bars for his crimes , he is not because of a legal technicality . this man ... would have no problem admitting having murdered several people . he tried to kill his own mother . he stabbed her with a knife , which we are gon na find out is his weapon of choice . with the murder of dr. silas clay , a noted oncologist , who is a savior to many sick and many frightened people , franco has added one more name to his lethal roster . i 'm going to take you through the day of the murder . i 'm gon na present to you the means -- a bloody knife . motive -- a woman , nina lansing , my very own wife , who both franco and dr. clay managed to let slip through their fingers . and finally , the opportunity , because franco was found in possession of the murder weapon at the scene of the crime . as i said , it 's a very , very simple tale . but once you have heard all of it , you will know , beyond a shadow of a doubt , there 's only one way for it to end ... ... with a verdict of guilty . scott : i 'm afraid that i 'm gon na have to disagree with my esteemed colleague , the new acting da , the great ric lansing , because the story he 's about to trot out is a fairy tale . it 's completely fabricated . it 's full of circumstance and supposition . the prosecution has no case . i did n't see it , and you wo n't see it . to be perfectly honest with you folks , the reason why i stepped down from my position as district attorney -- because with a clear conscience , i could not prosecute this case because franco is innocent . and when i get through telling you the truth , you 'll know that dr. clay was murdered by someone else . [ scene_break ] ava : it 's obvious that franco told you everything . and so you must know that i have a very incriminating photo of nina . and i will not be relinquishing that photo until franco gets his hands on that recording from the da 's office . now , seeing as how franco is incarcerated at present , perhaps the good doctor could step in . dr. obrecht : i tried . it 's impossible now that ric lansing has replaced franco 's father . ava : then i 'm sorry , but you 're fresh out of luck . so why do n't you leave now before -- dr. obrecht : before what ? ava : before i am forced to become hostile . dr. obrecht : before you stab me , like you did to dr. clay ? !

[ scene_break ] jax : i have n't seen you this happy in a long time . carly : ohh . mmm . you know what ? jax : what ? carly : that email from michael and kristina did wonders , but we should have heard from jason by now . jax : you think spinelli is not telling us something ? he was acting a little stranger than usual last night . carly : spinelli 's so afraid of sonny , it 's hard to tell . and he could be working for jason on the side . jax : yeah . carly : you know what i was thinking ? that a walk would really , really get all this off my mind and make me feel so much better . jax : well , i can give you a tour of the landscaping when we get home . carly : mmm . when we get home ? jax : yes . carly : i like the sound of that . jax : oh , okay . mmm . come on . kate : sorry . [ chuckles ] jax , i 'm so glad that i caught you . jax : can it wait a couple of hours ? kate : actually , no . it ca n't wait any longer . it pertains to the future of crimson . carly : well , would n't want to get in the way of that . jax : uh , just take a cab , okay , please ? carly : yes . love you . i 'm so going to take a cab . jax : thank you . [ scene_break ] lulu : and i did n't really have time to fix the picture frame , and i was working really fast , and the glue , like , spilled all over my hands , and then kate calls , and she 's really upset with me because i did n't tell her about a spa appointment . the spa appointment is n't until next week . but anyway , she says that she would be so disappointed if i did n't get to work in 10 minutes , and i was rushing , and i put my hands in my hair , and i forgot about the glue . how did you know ? patrick : that 's a great question . matt : i 'm a trained professional . robin : can i take a look ? lulu : yes . i mean , there 's got to be , like , a solvent or something , you know , that would just take it out . robin : wow . i 've never seen anything like that . you think the glue is on your scalp ? lulu : no . it 's the hand and the hair . patrick : then just cut your hair . lulu : no ! matt : you do n't understand women at all . [ lulu sighs ] [ scene_break ] dominic : you slept on the bed . i slept on the chair . is that what you mean ? rebecca : yeah , you know what i meant . i must have been completely plastered if i slept through the trash trucks , though . do they drive through the alley at 3 : 00 in the morning ? dominic : yeah . you know what ? there must be some kind of a pick - up point or something . rebecca : yeah . [ window shuts ] rebecca : ohh . god . yeah . that noise used to drive me crazy . dominic : well , i liked it . it kind of puts me to sleep . i 'm from brooklyn , bensonhurst to be exact . dominic pirelli , in case you do n't remember . rebecca : uh , no . i remember . [ exhales ] dominic : you 're not going to cry again , are you ? rebecca : i cried last night ? dominic : yeah . you broke my heart .

[ rebecca chuckles ] rebecca : oh , god , what 's that smell ? dominic : that 's kelly 's breakfast . you 'd probably feel better if you ate something . rebecca : hey , thank you for not taking advantage of me last night . dominic : hey , i 'm a gentleman . you did n't notice ? rebecca : heh . you 're kind of sweet , in a completely obnoxious kind of way . dominic : heh . yeah . i get that a lot . that and nothing else . [ scene_break ] mike : here we go , blueberry pancakes , bacon on the side , times two . molly : mmm . thank you . nikolas : thank you . that looks great . mike : well , of course , you have excellent taste in breakfast , young lady . nikolas : all right . molly : you know , it is n't fair to put yourself in danger as you did last night . nikolas : yeah , you 're right . you 're absolutely right . molly : we 're all under stress . but what if we all went out to the edge of our roofs and talked to invisible people ? [ nikolas laughs ] nikolas : yeah . right again . no , you 're right . i was being selfish when i should have been thinking about the family , especially you . i know that your father just moved to los angeles , your sister just ran away , and your mother is ... well , let 's just say has some major issues . i 'm glad , i 'm honored , that you asked for my help . molly : mom says everything will be all right if we just do n't talk about it . do you agree ? nikolas : well , i think there 's something to be said for not escalating things . but i want you to feel like that you can talk to me about anything . [ footsteps ] molly : do you know those people ? nikolas : do me a favor , will you ? go ask mike for some more syrup . he 's right over there . molly : certainly . but just to be clear , we already have plenty of syrup . [ scene_break ] dominic : well , if you ever want to visit your old room , just let me know . my door is always open . rebecca : okay . i may take you up on that . nikolas : wow . you did n't waste any time , did you ? [ scene_break ] elizabeth : hey , nikolas , it 's me . look , we need to talk about what happened last night , 'cause that whole kiss was a really big mistake for the both of us . but i am still your friend , and i am still worried about you . can you call me and let me know how you 're doing , please ? lucky : hey . elizabeth : hi . lucky : what 's up with you and nikolas ? i mean , i left him 2 messages , and i got zip . what about you ? elizabeth : nothing so far . lucky : oh . you know , i 'm thinking that this was a whole mistake , telling the truth about rebecca . elizabeth : it was going to be a disaster no matter when he found out . lucky : well , nikolas is going to need all the support he can get , so i 'm thinking he has an easier time taking help from you than he does from me . elizabeth : yeah . i do n't really know him that well . lucky : no , no , no . i 'm counting on you to help my brother out . so spend as much time with him as possible . [ scene_break ] nikolas : thank you . molly : i 've seen that guy before . nikolas : really ? molly : yeah . he 's some kind of messenger . nikolas : where have you seen him ? molly : around . is that why you 're so upset , 'cause rebecca 's with a messenger ? [ nikolas sighs ] [ scene_break ] dominic : i thought you said you were never going to drink anything ever again . [ rebecca groans ] rebecca : leave me alone . heh . dominic : that 's the guy , right ? the one you were telling me about last night ? rebecca : yeah . does n't matter . dominic : were n't you two at jake 's the night lulu fell for me ? rebecca : you mean the night her brothers beat you up ? dominic : yeah . yeah . rebecca : yeah . although that 's one of her brothers , too . dominic : well , if you ever want to make him insanely jealous , i 'm your man . [ scene_break ] molly : nikolas , you 're ruining mike 's pancakes . nikolas : what ? oh . no . i like them this way . molly : really ? nikolas : mm - hmm . molly : you seem angry . nikolas : nope . i 'm fine . molly : is it 'cause of rebecca ? it must be uncomfortable seeing someone who looks so much like emily . nikolas : so , we excited about going back to school ? molly : you 're changing the subject . nikolas : we should be talking about you , not me . molly : actually , i 'm dreading school . i enjoy the coursework and all , but the girls in my class are saying terrible things about my mother . nikolas : oh . i 'm sorry . i know that must be difficult for you to hear . molly : it is . i wish i could stay home all the time and have a tutor . nikolas : oh , well , you know , that 's how i was educated . it gets pretty lonely , though . [ door opens ] molly : you know that good word you promised to put in with my mother ? now would be the time . [ nikolas sighs ] alexis : hello . very nice . you buy her her favorite breakfast as a consequence for the very naughty thing she did last night ? nikolas : actually , she was quite helpful last night . she has a gift for putting things into perspective . [ scene_break ] dominic : you need to eat something . rebecca : yeah . i will . dominic : look , i got to get going . can i interest you in a fresh air stroll along the docks , perhaps ? rebecca : mmm , not a damn chance . dominic : okay . i 'll take that as a no . rebecca : i 'm sorry . i know i 'm being very rude when actually i 'm very grateful to you for being such a gentleman last night . dominic : anytime . [ scene_break ] rebecca : am i interrupting ? alexis : molly , will you please go tell mike how much you like his pancakes ? molly : you can just tell me to leave , mom . do n't have to make up an excuse . alexis : right . rebecca : i just wanted to say congratulations . you were right . i lied to nikolas from the day i arrived at port charles . [ scene_break ] kate : i 'm sorry , jax . i realize i should have told you this a long time ago . jax : yeah . are you sure that this ca n't wait until after carly 's appointment ? kate : uh , trust me . i want this to go as quickly as you do . so , as primary investor , you are aware of the overages we incurred when we first started crimson . jax : yes , yes , yes . i was concerned about them , but i took care of them . kate : yes , but ... they were actually worse than you knew . i was afraid that you would pull out of crimson , and i was desperate , and ... [ jax sighs ] kate : look , jax , i made a really bad decision . trevor lansing offered to help , and i took his money . jax : was it zacchara money ? kate : one could assume . jax : oh . and you ran it through crimson . kate : yeah . jax : and you and i both know that 's money laundering . kate : look , i do n't know how giselle found out , but somehow , she did , and she has been blackmailing me for months . she has demanded to see advanced copies of the layouts before they went to press , and now , she 's furious because one went to press without her seeing it . jax : and how did that happen ? kate : well , maxie was forced to pull something together when i was in the mediterranean . it was actually so good , i gave her a promotion . and now , giselle is threatening to alert the irs to expose us to any number of lawsuits , not to mention the public relations nightmare . and i am really afraid , jax , that crimson could be over . jax : why ? why did n't you tell me this before ? kate : because , jax , i had sincerely thought that i could handle it . jax : well , maybe we would have been able to handle it if you 'd be honest with me . kate : look , um , if i offer to resign , would you please consider not killing the magazine ? jax : no . just -- no . it 's ... [ sighs ] i just wish you would have trusted me , that you would have come to me as your business partner . [ sighs ] do you have any idea of what else is going on in my life right now ? kate : yes . yes . jax -- jax : you spring this on me at the last -- kate : i am concerned about michael , too . [ sighs ] jax : all right . listen . remind giselle that i go sailing with warren , okay ? do n't argue with her . i 'll make a couple of calls . now , if you 'll excuse me , i 've got to make sure that my wife made it to her doctor 's appointment . [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] ronnie : yes , lieutenant gorski . i understand . olivia : hey . ronnie : you ca n't keep showing up here . people are going to get suspicious . i 'm going to end up dead . olivia : listen to me . you need to get my kid out of port charles and away from sonny . ronnie : you need to stay out of this . let your son do his job and just leave him alone . carly : is there a problem ? [ ronnie sighs ] olivia : oh , uh , hey . were n't you supposed to be at a doctor 's appointment ? carly : yeah . i was on my way , and i walked by . now , what 's going on ? do you know this guy ? ronnie : yeah . my family 's from bensonhurst . i was -- my brother 's looking for a place short - term . i was just trying to convince ms. falconeri to sublet her apartment . carly : why should she move out ? olivia : my sentiments exactly . carly : did you offer a nice room at the metro court ? olivia : i was just about to do that . ronnie : yeah , that 's a little too rich for our blood , but i understand . no problem , ms. falconeri . i know when to back off . carly : you want to tell me what 's really going on ? [ scene_break ] rebecca : i knew emily was my sister before you discovered the truth . i came to port charles for a share of the money . the plan was to leave town with my accomplice ethan lovett . helena cassadine did approach me , but nothing came of it . and then , the plan fell apart . ethan told lucky the truth . alexis : when did you find out ? nikolas : last night . lucky told me . rebecca : look , i 'm not proud of what i 've done , but it 's not like i ran an old lady or a pregnant woman off the road . as if that gives you a right to judge me . alexis : you need to stop talking now . molly : mom ? alexis : hmm ? molly : sorry to bother you , but i have a riding lesson in about an hour . alexis : now , do you really think you 've earned that privilege ? nikolas : she was just trying to help , alexis . alexis : you had no business running out of the house in the middle of the night . nikolas : yes , she knows . it 's very dangerous . molly and i have discussed it , and i 'm sure it wo n't happen again , right ? molly : mm - hmm . nikolas : but riding horses is even more dangerous if you do n't know what you 're doing , and taking lessons is the best way to stay safe . you and i , we should go riding sometime . molly : that would be wonderful . alexis : why is it that i get the feeling that i 'm being set up ? nikolas : we 've all made some questionable choices lately , do n't you think ? alexis : point taken . are you all right ? nikolas : yeah . yeah . i 'm fine . i just wish i would have listened to you sooner . see , your mother usually knows exactly what to say , most of the time . alexis : gee , thanks . you , let 's go . molly : okay . alexis : you , kiss me . nikolas : bye . alexis : bye . molly : bye . nikolas : bye . nikolas : why are you still here ? rebecca : i 'm sorry that i hurt you , nikolas , and i 'm sorry that you hate me . most of all , i 'm just sorry you ca n't see past it . [ scene_break ] carly : i do n't like the looks of that guy at all . olivia : oh , no , no . he 's okay . our parents have been friends for years back in the neighborhood , so it 's good . carly : why 'd you meet him here ? olivia : well , i was looking at the commercial washing machines . i think we might be due for an upgrade over at the metro court . carly : mmm . you know the other interesting thing about women friends is that they can also tell when you 're lying ? olivia : right . they can also tell when something does n't need to be pursued . carly : fair enough . olivia : so ... so why are n't you at the doctor 's appointment ? carly : i was on my way . olivia : well , how about i walk you ? carly : sounds good . olivia : let 's do it .

[ scene_break ] rebecca : i appreciate that you and edward have been so kind to me , monica , but you really do n't owe me anything , okay ? especially now that you 've seen what kind of a person i am . monica : and what kind of person is that ? rebecca : a con . a grifter . a thief . monica : no . no . ethan is a grifter , and luke spencer is a con , definitely . but you are an angry young woman with a really lousy hangover that just feels cheated out of what she thinks she deserves . rebecca : how 'd you know i had a hangover ? monica : because the quartermaines have a rather long history of drug and alcohol abuse . i know first - hand . anyway , we would like to welcome you into the family . rebecca : wow . i do n't think i have much of a choice . [ chuckles ] edward loaned me that money on the condition that i live in the house . monica : that 's because he knows you want to stay , and he 's trying to make it easy on you to save face . so take him up on it , okay ? rebecca : okay . thank you . monica : you 're welcome . and i mean that in the truest sense of the word . you are welcome in the family , god help you .

[ sighs ] dante : are you okay ? lulu : yeah . i mean , i 'm just , like , imagining it . what if it happened to our kid ? dante : i like the sound of that . i -- i 'm still looking at you , and i ca n't even believe that you are pregnant . lulu : is that why we 're here , to see a doctor ? oh , my gosh . the mom is always the last one to know . dante : [ chuckles ] kate : dr. keenan . good morning . ewen : kate . sonny . how are you ? kate : we 're in shock about what happened to alexis and josslyn . were you on duty last night ? ewen : i was . uh , it was touch and go there for a while , but they both should make a full recovery . i ca n't tell you how -- how relieved i am about that . kate : we all are . sonny : there 's a place in hell for animals like this . ewen : yes . it would appear that animal responsible is profoundly disturbed . sonny : it 's not gon na matter 'cause he 's gon na answer for what he did . i just hope this is the end of it . trey : that 's great . yeah . no , no . you should stay there with your sisters . we -- we can catch up later . yeah . see you soon . hey . that was kristina . her mother 's doing better . starr : yeah . i just had coffee with michael at the hospital , and josslyn 's doing great , too . trey : it 's nice to get some good news , huh ? starr : yes , it is . so now that we know that everyone is okay , do you want to finish our conversation about your dad ? joe jr. : you have a headache ? jerry : no , it 's just a vitamin supplement . one ca n't be too careful about one 's health . joe jr. : yeah , about that , you know , i was up half the night thinking about the injection that you gave alexis davis and your niece . you said it was some kind of inoculation against what you 're planning to do to everyone in port charles . jerry : and what part is unclear ? joe jr. : well , what exactly are you planning to do to everyone in port charles ? [ cell phone rings ] sonny : yeah ? mcbain : it 's mcbain . i 'm at your restaurant . sonny : what do you want ? mcbain : i want a drink , and we probably should talk about joe scully jr. we should do that now . here you go little man . shawn : excuse me . uh , what room is alexis davis in ? alexis : do n't tell anyone , but miss davis is currently awol . shawn : are n't you supposed to be resting ? alexis : shh ! that 's what the girls think that i 'm doing right now . they 've been hovering in shifts , so i had to fake a nap to get them out of the room so i could make a break for it . shawn : well , i ca n't say i blame them . you know , you gave us all a scare . and i 'm pretty sure you 're not supposed to be strolling the hall the morning after you nearly died . alexis : i 'm fine . shawn : okay , humor me . have a seat for a minute ? please ? alexis : if you insist . mcbain : your mom 's gon na make a full recovery . i 'm happy for you , sam . well , look , tell her to go easy , but as soon as there 's a decision on the restraining order , i want to know . you know , i miss my little boy . and , sam , i 'm gon na find out who did this to your -- to your mom . hey , look , i 'm gon na have to call you back . uh , i 'm about to go into a meeting . sonny : was that jason 's wife you were talking to ? mcbain : what do you say we avoid that subject for the time being ? sonny : you can avoid it with me , but , sooner or later , you 're gon na have to face jason . spinelli : hey . apologies . jason : can you just leave the bear alone ? spinelli : what ? i just want -- jason : i just need you to focus . how much do you know about what happened last night ? spinelli : uh , alexis and josslyn fell gravely ill . for a time , their lives were at stake . jason : do you know what made them sick ? spinelli : i do n't know . a flu perhaps . jason : no . they were injected with a chemical . spinelli : what , they were poisoned ? jason : yes . i - i do n't know if the idea was to kill them or not , but that 's what i need to find out . spinelli : i 'm sorry . i do n't understand . josslyn 's just a little girl . she 's has n't done anything to anyone . and alexis is an officer of the court . she seeks justice . i mean , what kind of villain would want to hurt them ? jason : maybe dr. keenan . ewen : i believe congratulations are in order . kate : i wanted to make sure that you give me the go - ahead . marrying sonny 's a big step , and if you thought i should n't take it ... ewen : you 'd actually listen ? kate : i do n't know about that . but i would consider it . ewen : look , you 've faced your demons , kate , you know . you deserve to be happy with sonny . you are happy , are n't you ? kate : i feel like i 've come full circle . sonny was my first love , and , when i lost him , i decided to make myself over . i changed my name . i moved away from home . i built my dream career and surrounded myself with the things that i thought i needed . what i really needed to make myself whole was sonny , and now i finally have him . i -- i just never thought i could feel this way . it 's gon na take some getting used to . ewen : well , happiness is -- is truly the best medicine . kate : and i have you to thank , dr. keenan . next to sonny , you 're the best thing that ever happened to me . sonny : i see you made yourself at home . that 's nice . mcbain : well , it seemed like the best place to keep our association private . sonny : you think it 's a little too early for that ? mcbain : it 's 5 : 00 somewhere , and i think you 're gon na need it . sonny : all right . what do you have to tell me about joe jr. ? mcbain : he 's out of jail . jerry : why do n't you help yourself ? i 'm sure it 's an improvement over the coffee at the atlantic city jail . joe jr. : yeah , coffee 's nice , but i 'd rather have answers . jerry : well , i imagine that josslyn and alexis are considerably better this morning . you see , that 's how it works . if you survive the night , things get way better by the light of day . the thing is , to survive , that 's the trick . joe jr. : oh , my god . how much longer are you gon na drag this out , jerry ? tell me the job or i 'm leaving to go take care of my own business . jerry : if you insist . let 's do it . [ clears throat ] so , you 've seen one of these . what you do n't know is that there 's a very potent chemical in it to which the entire population of port charles will be exposed . joe jr. : how potent ? jerry : how about no survivors ? joe jr. : what ? what , are you some kind of terrorist now ? jerry : not exactly . joe jr. : well , then , i do n't get it . what 's in it for you ? jerry : for now , i 'd like to keep it to myself . trey : look , before you jump on my case again , i told kristina that my dad 's in jail , okay ? starr : you did ? trey : she was all upset about her mom , and i - i just did n't feel right keeping a secret , so -- so yeah . you feel better ? starr : well , it depends . trey : on what ? starr : did you tell kristina the part about how your dad is n't who he said he was ? mm . i guess not . trey : do you ever back off ? starr : look , maybe it would just help you to talk about it . talk to me . who is your dad , trey , really ? trey : okay . okay . i 'll tell you . shawn : oh , these are for you , by the way . alexis : oh . thank you . they 're beautiful . uh , and thank you for what you did last night for molly . she was very scared , and it really helped her to have you and t.j. around . shawn : yeah , i wanted to support molly , you know . she 's terrific . credit to her mother . alexis : oh . thank you . shawn : you know , she 's not the only reason i want to stay close . i - i wanted to -- no . i need to know that you 're gon na make it . lulu : [ mumbling ] dante : do -- do you think we 'll see a picture of the baby today ? lulu : i do n't know . i think i 'll get an ultrasound to see when i 'm due . dante : you seem pretty well informed . lulu : i might have gone to the mall yesterday and picked up a baby book . dante : i thought you wanted to wait for the official word . lulu : i know . i know , i know . i got an early start . but you should be happy , because there 's a lot to learn about babies . dante : i realized i do n't know a lot about being a father . i mean , not that i had one growing up . sonny : was he released or were the charges dropped ? mcbain : case dismissed . sonny : i -- [ sighs ] i tried to warn you , lieutenant , this guy has worked the system his whole life . i thought maybe since his father was dead , joe jr. would finally have to pay , but i guess that 's not what 's happening , right ? mcbain : it 's a good case . anywhere else in the universe , it 's enough to get scully to trial . sonny : someone called in a favor ? mcbain : you can thank scully 's associate for that . sonny : associate ? what are you talking about ? joe jr. : you 're telling me that everyone in this town is gon na die ? jerry : mm - hmm . except for the people who received immunization . joe jr. : alexis davis and your niece . jerry : everyone else is expendable . joe jr. : not everyone . trey : my dad -- he 's ... starr : he 's what , trey ? who is he ? trey : he 's -- he 's got a history ... with kristina 's father . kate : i feel so fortunate to have your help , dr. keenan . i do n't think i could have reached this point without you . ewen : i - i appreciate the sentiment , i do , but , you know , you 're the one who did all the work . kate : but you found me on the docks . and if you had n't , i would have never faced my problem . connie would still be in control , turning my life upside down , trying to keep me from facing the secret that i needed to . ewen : but you did . kate : i did , but you helped me access the truth that i was hiding , not just about the rape , but about everything that happened afterward -- all the things that i did , the reason why connie existed in the first place . ewen : um , are you -- are you still worried about her ? kate : i 'm afraid that she 's lurking somewhere inside me , just waiting . but she 's not the only thing that haunts me . ewen : yeah , those accidents and -- and the deaths that connie caused -- it 's -- it 's not your fault . kate : but i still need to face what happened . i need to remember . ewen : those memories are -- are obviously painful , and , you know , they may take a long time to resurface . kate : what about my baby , what i did to my son ? i do n't know what happened to him , but he never had a mother 's love . i do n't think i 'll ever be able to face that . ewen : look , a part of the recovery process is -- is letting go of guilt , and [ clears throat ] there are some things that , you know , we -- we do n't have any control over . kate : i know you 're right . and i know myself now . and because of you , i can go into my marriage with my -- ewen : it 's not because of me , kate ! please , just [ sighs ] stop . spinelli : dr. keenan the psychiatrist ? stone cold , i 've never known you to make unfounded accusations . why do you suspect him ? jason : josslyn was kidnapped two nights ago . spinelli : kidnapped ? i had n't heard of that . jason : yeah , carly searched the whole house and found josslyn outside sleeping . the same night , alexis gets a call from a security company saying there was a break - in at wyndemere . they want her to go over and check it out . she did . she fainted and woke up on the couch . spinelli : okay , well , i guess that 's cause for some concern , but , as of yet , i do n't hear anything sinister . jason : harbor view security never called alexis . there was no break - in . the whole thing was a setup . spinelli : and while she was unconscious ... jason : someone could have injected her . spinelli : okay , what about josslyn ? jason : i think somebody broke into carly 's house and took josslyn out of her bedroom . spinelli : oh ! jason : yeah , i do n't know if she was injected outside or at wyndemere , but i do know that alexis and josslyn were injected with the same thing on the same night and it almost killed them both . spinelli : okay , so is dr. keenan involved ? jason : mcbain and i went to wyndemere . spinelli : i - i - i 'm sorry . you and mcbain together ? jason : it -- it 's a long story . spinelli : uh , so you -- you found something untoward at wyndemere ? jason : yeah . dr. keenan . he said he got the same call from the security company because he used to live there . spinelli : about the break - in that never happened ? jason : exactly . so either the person who set alexis up wanted dr. keenan , too ... spinelli : which is a distinct possibility . jason : ... or dr. keenan is lying . alexis : it was so thoughtful of you , really , to bring those flowers and to show so much concern . i just do n't want you to feel obligated in any way to make a fuss over me . shawn : yeah , mac and i were talking about you the morning you got sick . alexis : oh . uh ... i see . you should know that mac is a really good friend of mine , and , um , he means well . but , unfortunately , he is in the throes of renewed romance with his ex - wife , so he kind of has this notion that everybody should couple up . shawn : oh . you know , he said you 'd been talking about me the morning after our strip pool game . alexis : that 's a lot of people talking about a lot of people , and things are bound to get lost in the translation . so , like i - i - i said before , that he -- he sort of wants everyone to pair up right now , which is really redundant for you , because you do n't need to pair up , 'cause you kind of are a pair already . shawn : no . not me . alexis : uh , 'cause i -- you know , when i saw that kiss , it was -- i -- molly says you 're dating a really nice woman . shawn : oh , rosie . nah , we broke up . alexis : oh . shawn : no , not that we were ever very serious . alexis : could have fooled me . shawn : excuse me ? alexis : um , nothing . nothing . i - i -- honestly , i 'm so sorry that things did n't work out for you . shawn : i just did n't think it was fair to string rosie along when i was having feelings for someone else . spinelli : i feel i would be remiss if i did not remind you of my own dealings with dr. keenan . at one point , when i was trying to prove maxie 's innocence , i - i became convinced that he had killed lisa niles . jason : and what made you , uh , suspect dr. keenan ? spinelli : well , i embellished a small inconsistency until in my fevered imagination , it became a full - blown murder plot . jason : i - i understand the inconsistencies you 're talking about , 'cause dr. keenan was on spoon island the night of the murder , right ? spinelli : yeah . jason : he dragged elizabeth out of the water and left her there . spinelli : well , yeah , but , in point in fact , he was administering to a patient at the time . jason : but you 're talking about a doctor who pulls somebody out of the water who almost drowned and leaves them on the beach and then keeps it a secret for months ? spinelli : yeah , when you put it that way , it does seem a little far - fetched . jason : keenan is lying about what happened , just like he 's lying about why he was out at wyndemere yesterday . spinelli : okay , with greatest respect , those that were affected are -- are very close to you . alexis is fair samantha 's mother , carly 's your best friend , and -- and josslyn is your goddaughter . perhaps you are -- are so determined to exact revenge that now you are exaggerating claims against dr. keenan . kate : dr. keenan , what 's wrong ? ewen : you -- you do n't owe me anything , kate . i do n't -- do n't deserve your gratitude . kate : if it was n't for you , i never would have confronted connie . ewen : connie . [ sighs ] listen to me . i have done far worse things than connie ever did . kate : i do n't believe that . i 've seen the kind of man you are , dr. keenan . you are compassionate , insightful . ewen : you think i 'm some kind of expert in the human psyche ? i have no idea why we do the things we do . kate : dr. keenan -- ewen : stop calling me `` doctor , `` okay ? in fact , you know what ? i need you to leave . kate : i do n't understand . ewen : no . i will recommend you to another therapist , but [ sighs ] i ca n't treat you anymore . jerry : you assured you 'd give me your full cooperation , and that 's what i expect . joe jr. : no , i 'm not backing out on our deal , but my son lives in this town . he 's not expendable ! jerry : i can see why you feel that way . joe jr. : well , then you better give trey whatever you gave alexis davis and your niece . jerry : you want me to immunize your son ? joe jr. : you 're damn right . jerry : well , i 'm sorry , joe . that 's not possible . starr : what kind of history does your dad have with sonny ? trey : not a good one . starr : okay , if i ask you a question , will you promise not to get mad at me ? trey : it depends on what the question is . starr : is that why you got involved with kristina ? you tricked her into doing `` mob princess `` so that you could get back at her for what -- trey : no , no . okay ? i swear i did n't know anything about this when i met kristina . starr : so it was all just a coincidence ? trey : i told you , there 's a lot of things about my father , about his past , things he has n't explained to me completely . i - i did n't know anything about this kristina thing until a few weeks ago . starr : this does n't make sense . did n't you say he wanted you to be with kristina ? trey : he does . starr : explain why he would want you anywhere near kristina when he has a past with her father ? sonny : the only associate joe jr . ever had that i know of was his father , and he 's dead . mcbain : guess he found a new benefactor . sonny : do you have a name ? mcbain : by the time i got to the a.c . jail , scully had been released and all the paperwork had been sealed . sonny : maybe it was joe jr. 's lawyer . mcbain : he was in the courthouse in a closed hearing with the d.a . and a third - party attorney . the third - party attorney works for the largest law firm in new york city . that 's all i 've been able to find out so far . sonny : that 's where all the charges were dropped ? mcbain : it had to have been the third - party attorney that arranged the deal . so i went and checked the log at the a.c . jail -- all the visitors scully 's had since he 's been inside . sonny : and ? mcbain : and that 's where it gets strange . guitar alexis : can i just stop you ? uh , let me just stop you right there , because i think i kind of know where this is going , and i - i think it 's very sweet , and i - i really , really , really a - appreciate the sweet , gracious gesture . it just is n't necessary . shawn : what is ? alexis : i think mac led you to believe that i went into kelly 's that morning to start something with you , and , honestly , i really just wanted an omelet . shawn : [ chuckles ] alexis : and then i got sick and , uh , i 'm gon na be better -- all better , for sure . and then you were , naturally , showing concern , which , again , is a very sweet , gracious gesture and totally unnecessary . shawn : yeah , you already said that . alexis : yeah . um , can you do me a big favor ? could we end this conversation right now because i am feeling embarrassed and i 'm making a fool out of myself ? shawn : okay . well , provided you answer one question . alexis : uh , what ? shawn : will you go out with me ? lulu : hey . i do n't know why you 're nervous . you 're the one who came from the stable home and the ginormous extended family . dante : no . my -- my grandfather and my uncles were great , and -- it 's just not the same as growing up with a father . not that i resent my mother for the choices she made . i just -- i just feel like i 'm flying blind . lulu : well , look , i am , too . i mean , i love my mom , and i have a lot of great memories with her when i was young , but , at a certain point , she was just gone . dante : i 'm sorry . i did n't mean to bring up that stuff . lulu : i mean , do i wish my mom was here ? of course . but we 've got each other , and we 're gon na figure this parenting thing out together , and i happen to think we 'll be great at it . dante : i think so , too . [ door opens ] dr. v. : mrs. spencer - falconeri ? lulu : that 's me . dr. v. : come on in . i 'm dr. varahabhotla . dante : oh , thank god . dr. v. : i 'm sorry ? lulu : oh , we were just -- we were worried we would n't be able to pronounce your name . it 's dr. vara ... dr. v. : varahabhotla . why do n't we make it easy ? everyone calls me `` dr. v. `` have a seat . dante : dr. v. , dante falconeri . dr. v. : nice to meet you . dr. lee told me that you made a last - minute appointment yesterday . is everything all right ? lulu : i think so . i took a pregnancy test , and it came back positive . dr. v. : i see . had you been trying to get pregnant ? dante : uh , what do you mean by trying ? lulu : no , it was a total surprise . dante : a good -- a good and happy surprise . lulu : we just want to get the official word before we tell our families and everyone goes crazy . dr. v. : well , let 's not keep you waiting . i have an exam room ready down the hall . sonny : what was so strange about joe jr. 's visitors ? mcbain : there were n't any . according to the log , he has n't had a single visitor . his entire page is blank . sonny : for that day ? mcbain : the entire time he 's been locked up . sonny : that does n't make any sense , 'cause i was there , kate was there . mcbain : so was i . there 's no record of it . sonny : somebody erased the log . what for ? what does that get him ? mcbain : whoever scully 's associate is -- he does n't want his name getting out . jerry : i understand your concern for your son , but , sadly , the vaccination is in short supply . there 's only enough for josslyn , alexis , and myself . joe jr. : oh , so you 're immune to this thing . jerry : well , i have to admit , you know , the first 24 hours were a bit rough , but , mercifully , the recovery is brief . i was feeling like myself after a day or so , and i suppose alexis and josslyn will be , too . joe jr. : yeah , well , that 's just fine for you and josslyn and alexis , but there 's no way in hell that i 'm gon na ever let you expose my son to anything lethal . jerry : you were aware of the terms of our deal . joe jr. : [ slams table ] i did not agree to let my son die . he 's all i have in this world . jerry : well , then , let me offer you some advice . why do n't you keep your son as far away as possible from port charles ? starr : it does n't make sense for your dad to want you with kristina u - unless ... trey : unless what ? starr : he wants to use it against sonny . joe jr. : if we want to bring down the king , you 've got to marry the princess . trey : what are you talking about ? how -- how would me being with kristina help my dad ? starr : all i know is that kristina deserves to hear everything that you just told me about your father . sonny : joe would have had to have the whole a.c. jail in his pocket . how else would he have gotten the visitors log erased ? mcbain : you know how it is , sonny . sometimes you only need one guy -- some guy going through a bad divorce or gambling debts -- and you 're in . sonny : well , you know , in order to grease the wheel , you got to have some money , and he was broke . mcbain : maybe that 's where the associate comes in . sonny : well , who is he , 'cause his father 's dead and everybody in his crew hated him . mcbain : maybe joe made a friend while he was in new orleans . sonny : so much for justice , huh ? jason : dr. keenan is hiding something , and i want to know what it is . spinelli : okay . everyone 's hiding something . it does n't necessarily tie him to the injuries inflicted on alexis and josslyn . jason : why was he out at wyndemere ? why 'd i see him snap in the e.r . last night ? he does n't even know joss and alexis . he 's hanging around monitoring their condition . spinelli : compassion , perhaps ? jason : he does n't care about them . he cares about himself . spinelli : look , you know , i trust your instincts implicitly . if you think something 's happening with the good doctor , i believe you . jason : good . then start digging right now . spinelli : just one word of caution . my sources at kelly 's have said that they 've witnessed fair elizabeth frequently visiting with dr. keenan . jason : so ? spinelli : well , your current situation with elizabeth is somewhat complex . how would she feel if she , all of a sudden , realizes that you 're investigating dr. keenan ? jason : i care more about her safety . there 's a lot of questions about this guy , and we need to get the answers . spinelli : you truly think he 's dangerous ? jason : i already know he 's lying . now i need to know if he injected josslyn and alexis . kate : i 'm sorry . i do n't understand . are you quitting as my therapist ? ewen : yes . i have several colleagues i can recommend you to . kate : they wo n't know half as much about my situation as you do . ewen : but they will provide you with much better care . kate : i doubt that very much . ewen : look , you 're not -- you 're not hearing me , okay ? i made serious mistakes . kate : well , maybe that 's why you 've been such a help to me , because you do n't judge me . dr. keenan , you may be flawed and human , but you 're not evil . i can attest to that . ewen : you do n't know everything about me . kate : i hit you over the head with a paperweight . i almost killed you . ewen : that was connie . kate : who 's a part of me . and you did n't punish me . you testified on my behalf . and you are the reason i 'm allowed to walk free . ewen : you should go , okay ? kate : i trust you . do you trust me ? you can tell me whatever it is . ewen : this i - is n't appropriate . kate : appropriate ? i was walking around on a dock in my bloody wedding dress . i interrupted your date . i propositioned you , dr. keenan , and you still helped me . so please let me help you . and whatever you tell me , i promise you it will not leave this room . alexis : this is exactly what i was trying to avoid . shawn : what , me asking you out ?

sonny tells carly that if morgan has bipolar , he inherited it from him , which makes it his fault . carly thinks that bipolar or not , morgan 's behavior has been erratic and he needs to see a psychiatrist . michael goes to carly 's house looking for lucas to have him sign the contract to work at the aj quartermaine memorial clinic . carly tells michael that she and sonny have set a date and wonders if he will come to their wedding . he says he does n't think he can go . carly tells michael about his concern for morgan . michael tells carly that he saw morgan acting strangely at the metro court one night . they figure out that it was the same night that silas clay was killed . ric calls morgan to the stand . scott objects because morgan was not on the witness list . the judge allows it . morgan testifies that franco came to the door while he was in kiki 's apartment and that he threatened to kill him with a butcher knife . morgan lies under oath and says franco was there because he was angry with silas . he further lies that he did n't come forward because franco said he would kill him if he did .

[ scene_break ] margaux : i ca n't remember the last time i 've been so insulted . drew : [ scoffs ] hard to believe . margaux : wow . drew : [ laughs ] look , you -- you kissed me out of nowhere . if i did that to you , i 'd be labeled a harasser . women would be outside the metro court picketing . do you get what i 'm saying , madam d.a . ? margaux : [ scoffs ] noted . drew : good . margaux : but for your information , i am not working some agenda here , okay ? i kissed you because i like you . correction . [ chuckles ] liked you . drew : really ? based on what ? margaux : i do n't know . i found you attractive , sexy , engaging , and worth getting to know a little better . i was obviously mistaken . one scratch beneath the surface is all it took to reveal you 're actually a paranoid egomaniac . either that or , i do n't know , you 're so messed up that you ca n't even notice that a woman is attracted to you . drew : i 'm sorry . you said i was sexy ? [ scene_break ] carly : all right . sonny : [ groans ] tomorrow 's gon na be a long day . we should probably go to sleep . what do you think ? carly : oh , gosh , i do n't even know if i 'm gon na be able to sleep . sonny : well , we can stay up until you can . carly : mm . hey , um ... michael told me that julian showed up at alexis ' making a bunch of accusations about you . sonny : forget about julian . he 's the least of our worries . carly : uh , too late . i 'm worried . [ scene_break ] julian : hey , uh , kim , it 's me . i mean , you 're probably delivering a baby or something like that , but i would really like it if you could return this call when you get the message . please , i could , uh , really use a friend right now . thanks . brad ? brad : i need your help . [ scene_break ] lucas : brad 's still not answering . alexis : just give him some time . sam : i 'm gon na track him down . alexis : it 's probably a good idea . we have to prepare for the best - interest hearing . lucas : all right , but , i -- am , i do n't ... ah , thank you , but i think we just need to let brad process right now . i do n't think he 's in the right headspace to take in anything else . i 'll pass along all the info to him . alexis : lucas , you know that i 'm gon na do everything in my power to help you keep your son . lucas : yeah . this is just all so surreal , you know ? i mean , i used to be the one who was always worried , and brad was my pillar of strength . he was always so positive and excited about the baby . i know he 's in pain , but ... i just wish that i could tell him that everything was gon na be all right , but i do n't think there 's any way of knowing that , is there ? alexis : i 'm afraid there are n't any easy answers here , lucas . i 'm sorry . [ scene_break ] lulu : dante would be here if he could . michael : yeah , i know . um ... just , you know , tell him not to worry and stay safe , okay ? lulu : yeah , i will . we love you . i have a meeting . please let me know if we can do anything , okay ? hey . do n't overdo it . my couch is closed for business . [ scene_break ] peter : thank you for meeting me . lulu : you craft a great text -- just the right amount of intrigue and promise . plus kiki 's trial just wrapped , so i 'm on the hunt for my next big story . so tell me , how did you hear the invader was sold ? peter : i did n't hear it . i bought it . an exclusive story is yours if you write it in the invader . lulu : how 's that possible ? i write for the press . peter : not necessarily . i 'm poaching you . [ scene_break ] maxie : bobbie says the baby is fine -- sleeping like an angel . nina : you know , i do n't really know lucas and brad , but it does n't matter . my heart is breaking for them . maxie : life is so unfair . they 've been hoping and waiting for a baby for so long and then they finally get one , they take him home and start planning their life together , and then what ? the baby 's just taken from them ? nina : they 'll never stop missing that baby . i never stopped missing mine . [ scene_break ] madeline : you 've obviously spent too much time with my daughter . you 've picked up her habit of wishful thinking . valentin : i think my theory 's correct . i actually know a woman who was recently reunited with her full - grown son after a lifetime apart , so i know it 's possible . madeline : i do n't know your friend 's circumstances , but there is no baby . valentin : of course there 's not a baby . because her son would be full - grown by now . madeline : [ scoffs ] valentin : unless it was a girl . that 's it , is n't it ? nina had a daughter . madeline : you know what ? uh ... i 've had about enough of this . valentin : wait . do n't you want to know what piqued my curiosity , what aroused my suspicion ? nina was in a -- a coma for 20 years . you had her in a coma for 20 years , and for most of that time , she was in a facility in westchester -- crichton - clark , was n't it ? madeline : yes . so ? valentin : except according to the medical records , she was n't there the whole time . there 's an 8-month window at the beginning unaccounted for . eight months . see why that number would arouse my suspicion , why that 's so relevant to our conversation ? madeline : no . i do n't . valentin : may i remind you - you have a parole hearing coming up , one that could benefit from my friend nora buchanan ? our agreement is contingent upon your complete honesty . did nina have a daughter , and did that little girl survive ? madeline : yes . [ scene_break ] peter : and the best part ? you get to pick your own subjects . no more softball assignments , no more human - interest pieces , unless you want them , of course . you can go wherever your stories take you . i 'll make you chief investigative reporter and pay you accordingly . lulu : wait . are you still talking about the invader ? the invader does n't seek out truth . it fictionalizes . peter : you 're absolutely right . the current format does not lend itself to serious journalistic standards , which is why i 'm revamping it . thank you . lulu : i 'm sorry . i just ca n't see the invader turning into a respectable , credible news source or even being taken seriously , for that matter . peter : let 's just see what happens after we win our first pulitzer . lulu : [ scoffs ] peter : in the meantime , i 'm satisfied with disrupting the current market . lulu : and those far - fetched conspiracy theories or the sneak - attack personal invasions ? peter : far - fetched is out . the sneak - attack invasions , however , they will remain . i 'm not gon na disrupt my loyal readers by eliminating them just yet , as long as they 're rooted in truth . it 's possible to have a serious news outlet and have fun . after all , public has a right to know . oh , which reminds me . here is a preview of tomorrow 's front page . [ scene_break ] drew : you said i was sexy -- specifically said that . i heard you . ca n't take it back . too late . sorry . margaux : i said `` found . `` past tense . drew : okay , understandable , because i was , uh ... was a bit of an ass . for that , i apologize . i was a little bit of an ass . you know my history here , okay ? i do n't even remember my relationship with the mother of my son , and i just got a divorce from the mother of my daughter . and i do n't really have a stellar track record with women , so forgive me if i 'm a bit hesitant to engage with somebody new , especially with somebody who i might possibly , maybe like . possibly . margaux : well , maybe you should work on your technique . drew : maybe . i could do that . i can give it a shot . sure . look , let 's -- let 's just try this again . i could do better . [ scene_break ] nina : you know , for a minute today , i really thought that my mother wanted to reconnect as a family , for a minute . but , of course , she did n't . she just wanted to use me and you , even james ... [ sighs ] why would i want a connection with the woman who put me in a coma ? i mean , i 'm smart . i 'm a businesswoman , i 'm a professional ... maxie : do n't forget you 're hot . nina : super hot . maxie : super hot and stylish , and you have a nephew who 's gon na adore you . nina : i know . i have everything that i want . everything . except a child of my own . maxie : nina . nina : no , listen , i - it was ... it was forever ago when this happened . i should get over it , honestly . i should just ... get over it . but i do find myself going on the internet and see if there are advances in fertility . and even though valentin and i are n't together anymore , i still do think about what a child of ours would look like and how it would act . i mean , forget it . maxie : i had no idea you were still in so much pain over this . nina : i just think it 's all this lost baby talk . i just feel so bad . i mean , michael corinthos , and i feel horrible for lucas and brad . i sympathize , you know ? everybody 's pain is unique . but i can say with total certainty there is nothing worse than losing a child , no matter how it happens . [ scene_break ] valentin : tell me everything . madeline : what more is there to tell ? you pieced everything together . i so regret what i did . valentin : yeah , save it for the parole board . i want facts . madeline : the facts are i got the dosage wrong , okay ? nina went under , but the baby held on . valentin : did you try again ? madeline : no , that would 've been too risky . if i had made another attempt , suspicion might have shifted from her ex - husband to me , so i ... hired a very discreet nurse , and she looked after nina until she delivered . valentin : and ? madeline : and then i had her transferred back to crichton - clark . valentin : what happened to nina 's baby ? madeline : well , i 'm not exactly the grandmotherly type . so i got rid of her . [ scene_break ] sonny : long time ago , i did a job for joe scully , my first job . there was a problem . carly : and he asked you to take care of it ? sonny : yeah , i got rid of the evidence in -- in croton . what i did n't know was that , um ... my dad followed me . he figured if -- if the cops could get wind , because he did , so he dug up the body and he brought it to port charles . and his friend charlie delaney was pouring a -- a new foundation to expand his bar . carly : so this possibly incriminating body is in the foundation of julian 's place of business ? sonny : it gets even better . julian is planning to renovate . [ scene_break ] maxie : sounds to me like you never had the chance to fully grieve for the loss of your baby . nina : how do you grieve for something that never existed , that you never had ? i mean , at least brad and lucas , they got to hold their child . i mean , mine was taken away before i ... i mean , maxie : it 's ... it 's a very hard loss , nina , especially how it came about . you need to be able to grieve for your baby . sounds taboo , but it 's necessary . nina : you know , when you were talking about all the highlights of my life ... you forgot to mention yourself . i 'm very lucky to have you in my life , maxie . [ scene_break ] valentin : you killed nina 's baby ? madeline : [ scoffs ] stop being so melodramatic . i sought other alternatives . any child of nina 's would have a claim on her inheritance . the girl could n't be part of my family , so i saw to it that she was part of someone else 's . valentin : you put her up for adoption . madeline : i could n't keep her . why deprive someone else ? valentin : that 's sweet . listen , i want the names of the adoptive parents . madeline : is this your endgame , to -- to reunite nina with her long - lost daughter ? valentin : i want names . madeline : i did n't deal directly with the parents . i used a broker . valentin : well then , i want the names of the brokers . madeline : john smith . valentin : [ sighs ] madeline : look . it was n't exactly a ... traditional adoption . it was better if the parties remained anonymous . that way , we could n't identify each other in court . valentin : so you really have no way of tracking down nina 's daughter , do you ? madeline : i did n't say that . i 'll give you what you want . but not until you have your high - powered attorney secure my release . [ scene_break ] sonny : i 've been able to stall the renovations . julian ca n't even get a decent bid from a contractor . and he 's got permit problems . carly : you know , that 's only temporary . sooner or later , julian 's gon na start construction . sonny : unless he sells to me first . carly : well , is that a possibility ? sonny : it -- it 's possible , but , uh ... not likely . carly : okay , worst - case scenario , julian finds the dead body . sonny : mm - hmm . carly : can it be tied back to you ? sonny : that 's the problem . it might be . [ scene_break ] chase : the next thing i knew , i was waking up on dante and lulu 's coach . their kid was asking me if i wanted pancakes for breakfast . michael : yeah , rocco 's a great kid , is n't he ? chase : he 's not easily shocked . had to make an abrupt exit to the restroom . bartender : courtesy of the ladies over at that table . chase : should we invite them over ? michael : [ sighs ] you know what ? i , uh , do n't know how much fun i 'll be . i 'm , uh ... i 'm burying my -- my son tomorrow . [ scene_break ] lucas : so , wiley 's gon na stay with us until the hearing ? alexis : yes . lucas : all right , well , when will that be ? how long do we have ? alexis : well , family courts tend to move quickly when it comes to the custody and placement where an infant child is involved . sam : okay , well , what are we talking here ? days ? weeks ? alexis : days . mostly likely days , which is why we have to prepare this argument as to why wiley is better served staying with you and brad . sam : now , wait , can you use the fact that the birth mother waited till the last minute to change her mind ? alexis : she 's within her rights . lucas : but -- sam : she 's not gon na be penalized for waiting . mom , brad and lucas have already bonded with the baby . alexis : and wiley has bonded with them , which is what we 're gon na show the court -- that wiley is in a nurturing and safe home . [ cellphone chimes ] lucas : [ sighs ] julian . alexis : do n't worry about him . i 'll tell him to lay off . lucas : no , it 's brad . he 's at charlie 's . i need to go . sam : hey , wh -- wait , wait . i 'll drive you . lucas : [ sighs ] i 'm just gon na take an uber . i 'll call you guys . [ door closes ] [ scene_break ] julian : the hell ? are you sick ? do you want some , uh , seltzer water ? so , what 's going on ? i thought you were , uh , with alexis ? what 's going on ? brad : w - we 're gon na -- we 're gon na lose wiley . julian : okay , that 's just fear talking . brad : w - we knew the risks going in . the 30 days were almost up . we were almost in the clear . julian : brad , brad , brad , th - that 's up to the judge to decide . i know that , uh , conventional wisdom says that , uh , all the cards are with the -- with the birth mother , but , you know , there are exceptions . brad : yeah , this case is definitely an exception . julian : well , there you go . relax , man . brad : the judge is gon na rule against us . we 're gon na lose wiley , but not to -- not to his birth mother . julian : what are you -- what are you talking about ? brad : wiley 's not her son to take . [ scene_break ] lulu : i have a good thing going at the press . peter : you 're a cub reporter . you 've had page - one stories break because you were in the right place at the right time . lulu : this is how you woo me ? peter : come on , lulu . you know i think you have a lot of talent , but the press has a lot of other talented writers , too , and most of them in senior positions . it will take you years to get what i 'm offering you right now . this is your chance to go to the front line , make a difference , change the world , or at least report on it . lulu : you make a good sales pitch , i 'll give you that . but things that seem too good to be true -- they usually are . peter : and the people who succeed are the ones who recognize the opportunity when it presents itself and seize it when they have the chance . i 'm gon na have a table at the metro court 8 : 00 p.m. friday . if you do n't show , i 'll know you 're not interested . but if you do , come ready to negotiate . i expect you to drive a hard bargain . [ scene_break ] maxie : okay . people are staring . we need to pull it together . [ cellphone chimes ] nina : well , at least something good came up today . you 're my new creative director . maxie : [ chuckles ] oh , my mom sent me a picture of mac giving james a bath . there 's more water on mac than there is on james . [ laughs ] nina : that 's precious . maxie : nina , why do n't you come home with me ? we could watch some movies , you could spend the night . we 'll play with james . nina : are you sure ? i do n't want to smother you . maxie : oh , come on . james and i are just gon na have to smother you right back . let 's go . [ laughs ] [ scene_break ] madeline : ask ms. buchanan to contact me as soon as possible . valentin : yeah , on second thought , i think that maybe facilitating your early release will just , uh , upset my wife . madeline : [ scoffs ] well , think of how upset she 's going to be when she finds out you 've been here . valentin : no , because then i 'd have to tell her about her daughter , and i 'd also have to tell the district attorney 's office . and i do n't know what kind of , uh , extra sentence would be tacked on for illegal adoption -- basically selling a baby -- but i 'm pretty sure you could kiss your parole goodbye . i do n't think you 're gon na tell anything to anybody . madeline : you 'll never find nina 's daughter without me . valentin : no , 'cause i 've actually done a lot more with a lot less . but i do want you to think about one thing -- if i had to , i would 've gotten you out of here . and maybe i ca n't tell nina , but at least i get the quiet satisfaction of knowing you 're gon na rot in here , which is exactly what you deserve . [ scene_break ] sonny : i 'm gon na guess the cops will be able to id the guy using dental records . they 're gon na know he worked for scully . everybody knows that i worked for scully . carly : so did a lot of guys . sonny : yeah , but they -- they do n't live in port charles , and they did n't try to buy a bar . carly : [ sighs ] sonny : here 's the problem -- he has the gun . i buried it with the body . but it -- it was n't in the grave in croton . so if my dad buried the gun with the body , the cops will be able to get prints . carly : after all this time ? that 's highly unlikely , sonny . sonny : you do n't know what the cops can do with forensics these days . all they need is a trace , and that new d.a . will be all over it . she would love to put me away for murder . [ scene_break ] drew : look , i want to make something clear . if we , uh , do try again , whatever this is , there 's no talk of jason or sonny , okay ? just two people trying to get to know each other . deal ? margaux : deal . but if getting to know each other leads to another kiss , just try acting like a normal person , okay ? drew : deal . [ clears throat ] curtis . hey , uh , buddy . i 've got a job for you . i need a full background check on margaux dawson . yeah , the d.a . thank you . [ scene_break ] chase : can i ask you a question ? michael : hmm ? chase : why do n't you hate my guts ? michael : looks like you 're doing a pretty good job of that yourself . [ sighs ] chase : i 'm so sorry . michael : yeah , me , too . i 'm sorry i ever met nelle . i 'm sorry i have no plans to make . you know , for the last nine months , that 's all i did -- i made plans for doctor 's appointments and insurance , nannies , sleep training , child- friendly vacation spots , and ... tomorrow , my only plan is going to be burying my child who never had a chance to live . and then after that ... there 's nothing to plan , there 's no ... nothing to think about ... except what i would be thinking about if my child ... had lived . [ exhales sharply ] [ scene_break ] julian : what are you talking about , `` wiley 's not her son to take `` ? brad : you know , i keep playing it back in my head trying to figure out how i even got to this point . you know , why -- why i did n't stop it sooner . you know , it was n't supposed to be like this . lucas and i , we were happy . we were finally gon na have our family , and then , in the blink of an eye , it all got turned on its head , and now -- and now we 're gon na lose our son and probably both go to prison ... julian : okay , brad , brad , brad , just settle down . what are you talking about ? you 're not making any sense right now . brad : none of this makes any sense ! lucas : brad ? [ scene_break ] sam : be careful , it 's hot . alexis : thank you , and thank you for being so supportive to brad and lucas . they 're sure gon na need that in the days ahead . sam : um , mom , what do you think their chances are ? is there really any hope ? alexis : well , there 's always hope . just not much , i 'm afraid . [ scene_break ] lucas : you had me worried . are you okay ? brad : yeah , yeah . sorry . i should n't have run out on you . i - i could n't breathe or think straight . lucas : [ chuckles ] it 's okay . i 'll lecture you later . thanks for looking after him . julian : yeah . from what brad just said , sounds like you need some looking after , too . according to alexis , you guys have a , um , tough road ahead of you . lucas : we do . but whatever happens , we 're gon na deal with it together , right ? brad : yeah . lucas : all right , come on . our son 's waiting for us . let 's pick him up and spend some time with him . brad : [ sighs ] [ next_on ] alexis ( to kristina ) : if you 're happy , i 'm happy . curtis ( to drew ) : you sure you 're up for this challenge ? julian ( to brad ) : whose child is he ? josslyn ( to oscar ) : you came . lucas ( to brad ) : what do you say to someone that just lost their child ? michael ( to carly , sonny , josslyn , sam , jason ) : i just want to be alone when i say good - bye to my son . carly ( to sonny ) : we do n't have to face this loss alone . sam ( to jason ) : i do n't know what i would do if i did n't have you to hold on to .

sonny : you just missed kristina . viola picked her up . ric : yeah . viola told me when i called to check in on molly . can i ask you a question ? is there a reason you 're spending so much time with kristina ? sonny : she 's my daughter . ric : oh , i see . does lainey know about this ? sonny : what does that mean ? ric : i -- i do n't know , sonny . you 've seen kristina , what , a handful of times in the past year and then suddenly you -- you got two days with her in a row ? now , i 'm just wondering if this -- this sudden outpouring of fatherly attention is due to your illness . sonny : somebody 's sick , all right . it 's not me . [ scene_break ] alexis : i really wanted to be a good mother for you . i wanted to do what was best . but unfortunately , i ca n't only consider you anymore . i need to consider kristina and molly and what 's best for them . sam : okay . that -- that 's fine . molly , she wo n't even remember me , and kristina , she 's young enough to be resilient . besides , alexis , they have you -- their perfect mother , so it does n't -- alexis : well , unfortunately , their perfect mother has cancer . sam : what did you just say ? alexis : i have stage - two lung cancer and i may die . sam : cancer ? you 're sure ? no , no . i 'm -- they -- they make mistakes like this all the time . alexis : hmm . that 's funny because that 's exactly what i thought , but unfortunately , this one 's true . [ scene_break ] maxie : i do n't understand you . elizabeth was all over patrick . i mean , she was n't there for you when you needed her . you could n't tell her things you could tell me . you told me you did n't trust her anymore . lucky : it was the drugs , maxie . maxie : it was the drugs that made you say you needed me ? that 's what made you say i needed to go score more pills for you because nobody cared as much as i did . and now that princess elizabeth says so , you ca n't see me anymore ? [ scene_break ] elizabeth : what do you mean , it 's too late ? jason : sam came to see me and she told me about ric . elizabeth : so you felt the need to return the favor and tell her about us ? jason , why would you do that ? [ scene_break ] patrick : you made a full recovery from the brain surgery , april . you 're ready to be released . april : what 's the hurry ? robin : to get you home . april : what home ? look , my new best friend , sonny corinthos , said that he 'd pay for the hospital bill , but he did n't say nothing about rent , which means when i leave here , i go to the shelter . robin : no . you 're not going to the shelter . actually , there is an apartment waiting for you . patrick : there is ? robin : mm - hmm . mine . [ scene_break ] ric : what , are you back in denial ? what , you 're not bipolar , you 're just moody ? you did n't have a breakdown , you just had a couple of bad days -- what ? sonny : no , no , i 'm -- i 'm bipolar . i do n't like it , but i accept it . ric : oh . sonny : i 'll take my medication like a good little boy and i go to therapy and you know what ? it 's -- it 's quite interesting , unlike you , who 's stumbling around in the dark . you would n't be able to find your butt with a flashlight . ric : oh , right , because i slept with sam . right , if i recall , you slept with her , too , and while you were still married to carly . sonny : ahem . ric : it 's semantics . cheating on your wife is cheating on your wife . we 're both guilty of it , so do n't stand there and judge me -- got it ? sonny : okay , you know , i pity you because you think you want to go for what you want , but you blow right past what you already have . i 've got to tell you right now , i feel -- i -- i would feel sorry for you if you did n't hurt people left and right and then have that look on your face like it was all an accident . no amount of therapy will make me sympathetic to a man who takes advantage of a woman to get over on his enemy and the fact that you slept with your stepdaughter -- that means you have no respect for your wife or your daughters , including the one you fathered . [ scene_break ] lucky : come here . maxie ? i 'm an addict . i took advantage of you . maxie : are those your wife 's words ? taking advantage of me ? lucky : no , we did a lot of things that we should n't have . maxie : no , you know what ? fine . if taking the pills are bad for you , then stop . i will help you , just like i did when you needed them . unless that 's what i was to you , was someone who was just going to score your drugs . lucky : no , no , of course not , maxie . this was never your fault . i 'm the one who messed up . maxie : i helped you because you were in pain . and i 'm not just talking about your back . i mean , you -- you saw patrick and elizabeth flirting together . i saw it and i was n't taking any pills . i even saw how she treated you when all you needed was a little kindness and understanding . lucky : i never meant -- maxie : and now , somehow you 've forgotten all that because you like to pretend that she 's perfect . lucky : i never meant to hurt you , maxie . maxie : then do n't . elizabeth is turning you against me because she sees we have something that she 'll never have with you . lucky : elizabeth is my wife . i love her . that 's more important to me than anything . maxie : that 's not what you said when we were in bed together . lucky : yeah , well , it was for all the wrong reasons . i wo n't walk away from our marriage . maxie : fine . do what you think is right . but now that you 've admitted to elizabeth that you 're a drug addict , patrick drake is probably looking a whole lot better than he did before . [ scene_break ] jason : whew . look , i never intended to tell sam anything , but she was honest with me , you know , about ric . i just felt i should be honest about us . elizabeth : if lucky finds out , this could really , really ruin his recovery . jason : yeah , you spend a lot of time protecting lucky , mostly from himself . elizabeth : i have to support my husband if i 'm going to make this marriage work . look , if sam tells lucky , it 's not going to matter that it was after i found him with maxie and that i had already decided to leave him . this could send him right back to his addiction . jason : sam has no reason to tell anyone . elizabeth : you do n't know what a woman will do when she finds out the man she loves is sleeping with somebody else . she would n't be human if she did n't think of payback . i guess the only thing for me to do is i have to tell lucky . jason : look , i know -- i know sam is not going to tell lucky anything because she 's leaving town . [ scene_break ] sam : lung cancer ? alexis : it 's stage - two adenocarcinoma . it 's a non - small - cell - type lung cancer . it 's the most common lung cancer in women , not that that helps any . sam : they can do something , right ? i mean -- chemotherapy or something . alexis : they want to operate . it 's called a lobectomy and then they follow that up with chemo . in any case , i wo n't be borrowing any of your midriff tops because the scar is -- is apparently very nasty . sam : well , that 's good -- i mean , the operation is good if -- if it 's your only chance to get rid of this , right ? alexis : well , they say i stand a chance . sam : lung cancer . you do n't even smoke . alexis : you do n't have to . it could be secondhand , it could be environmental . nobody really knows . [ sam sighs ] alexis : it started with my coughing and i could n't stop . sam : right , but i thought you said that you thought that was because of the allergies . alexis : well , that 's what the doctors thought and then they thought it was a bronchial infection and then it did n't respond to antibiotics , so they did a chest x - ray and they found a spot on my lung . sam : and when was that ? alexis : it was about two weeks ago . i did n't tell anyone because i was hoping that it might be a mistake . unfortunately , it was n't and i do n't have a lot of time to deal with this , you know , because i have a family and i have a job . sam : so what now ? alexis : so they operate . they take out a piece of my lung and then they follow it up with chemotherapy , which is going to take a lot out of me . sam : okay . i mean , if it 's -- if it 's your best chance , the operation , i -- i think that 's good . you have to do it . alexis : of course . but i 'm worried about kristina and molly , and as grateful as i am for viola , they need more than a nanny . sam : are you asking me to stay ? [ scene_break ] april : so you 're letting me move in to share your apartment ? robin : no , you do n't have to share it with anyone . april : so where are you going to live ? or is it obvious ? patrick : no . robin : no . i -- i am moving in to a loft with a couple of friends . i was going to give up my apartment , but i 'm sure one word to sonny and he 'll cover the rent . and it 's furnished , so you can just move right on in . april : oh , well , i hope you do n't have club chairs because i could never live anywhere with club chairs . patrick : i have no idea . [ robin laughs ] april : i 'm kidding . i 'm just trying to figure out why . i mean , what makes me so special ? robin : you know what ? do n't be so flattered . it 's just my way of propping up dr. drake 's ego because he is so proud of the surgery he did on you . did i mention that he 's giving tours of your brain ? patrick : yeah . [ april laughs ] patrick : i 'll cut you in on the entry fee . april : hey , something 's wrong with this picture . it 's like you people are doctors . i mean , you 're supposed to be too busy , you know ? i mean , should n't you be playing golf or something ? [ robin laughs ] robin : you know , it 's really not that big of a deal . it 's just a place to live . april : no . it 's more than generous , considering the fact that i might have infected the man that you care so much about . and do n't worry because i know that he cares just as much about you . you 're both just too stubborn to admit it . patrick : wow . give the woman a bed to sleep in , she takes all kinds of liberties . april : i do n't do gratitude too well , know what i mean ? when you 've felt hopeless as long as i have , it 's -- something like this is just -- robin : it is truly my pleasure . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : sam 's leaving town ? how do you feel about that ? jason : i think it 's a mistake . you know , she 's always wanted to belong somewhere and she finally has that here . but it 's up to her . elizabeth : well , you 've been her whole life . without you , she probably feels like there 's no reason to stay . jason : well , she 's got her mother , she 's got two little sisters who look up to her . yeah , she screwed up , but -- elizabeth : yeah , well , we 've all screwed up sometimes . somehow our family always manages to forgive us . can you forgive her for sleeping with ric ? jason : can you forgive lucky ? elizabeth : i love my husband . he 's about to face the biggest challenge of his life and i 'm going to do whatever i can to help him get clean . jason : but can you really , really forgive him ? elizabeth : when i think about it , i -- i picture him and maxie and i -- i guess i 'm going to have to try because i have too much to lose and so do you . [ scene_break ] alexis : sam , you and i took a terribly wrong turn somewhere . apparently , it was n't as easy to overcome first impressions as we may have thought . that blood connection , the dna , i guess only goes so far . sam : when two people wanted a connection as much as we did , someone is bound to let the other person down . alexis : i 'm sorry for all the hurt that i 've caused you , and i know that you are sorry , too . we 've really made a mess of things , have n't we ? but we need to think about kristina and molly right now . this is going to be very difficult for them , and they can really use your help , particularly kristina , because she worships you . sam : whew . you know , the thought of leaving kristina and molly , that has -- alexis : ahem . sam : been the hardest part . alexis : kristina is used to me being in charge and me taking care of everything , and it 's going to be very difficult for her when she sees me in a hospital and she sees me weak and tired . she 's going to be scared , so she 's going to need you to help make that better for her . sam : i am -- oh , i -- i 'm not the one to be in charge . i -- i do n't -- i -- i do n't think i could do that . alexis : is that a yes or a no ? sam : alexis , i have -- i have already caused you so much grief . i just do n't know if me being around -- i think -- i think your priority is getting yourself well . alexis : you 're right , it is , and i 'm certainly going to need everything that i have to make this all go away , and you know what ? you let me know what you 're going to do because i need to speak to ric . he does n't know about this yet . sam : ric -- ric does n't know ? alexis : no , he does n't . sam : okay , well , i do n't -- gosh , i do n't think i need to be there for that . alexis : whether you stay or not , i want you to know how sorry i am for the things that i said . i was angry . i was angry at you . i was angry that i was sick , and i was angry that you were healthy and you had your whole life ahead of you and you were going to waste it . um -- i just wanted you to know that . sam : i know what i should do . but there are other people involved . it 's just so complicated right now . alexis : no , sam , it 's actually very simple . i have cancer and i need my family , all of my family , to help me beat it , because i do n't want to die . sam : i think the two of you need to be alone . alexis : well , at least i do n't have to go through the huge explanation again . ric : i would appreciate it if you would . because the only word that i heard was -- was `` cancer . `` alexis : hmm . adenocarcinoma , stage two , non - small - cell - type lung cancer . it falls trippingly off the tongue . ric : not so much . alexis : i 'm going to need surgery . they 're going to take out a portion of my lung . i believe it 's the left lower lobe . ric : what ? alexis : do you know those coughing spells i 've been having ? ric : yeah , the ones that you attributed to your allergies . alexis : it turns out not . ric : when were you -- when were you planning on telling me this ? alexis : well , you 're here right now . ric : i know i 'm here now , but you 're -- you 're telling me now , after the fact , after -- after you 've already had the tests and the diagnosis and i 'm sure a fairly -- a few sleepless nights after you 've already decided that you 're going to have major surgery and , i imagine , chemotherapy ? alexis : they say that 's my best chance . ric : why did n't you tell me ?

[ scene_break ] sonny : the woman who was here the other day , right ? sasha donev -- she 's andrei karpov 's attorney . kate : so karpov is the man with mob ties who lied to you ? begs the question , why 'd you get involved with him in the first place ? sonny : it was a simple , legitimate business arrangement , and he came here , and we negotiated a deal . kate : mm - hmm , to distribute coffee beans to eastern europe ? sonny : andrei karpov misrepresented himself from start to finish . i -- i acted in good faith , and i realized that the deal was bait to pull me back into the life , and i -- i said no , we 're done . and then , you know , i do n't have to deal with it anymore . kate : and he let you ? sonny : well , he 's not happy . that -- you know , that wedding present is not a gift . it 's probably a reminder that i blew the deal . kate : well , i 'm sorry it did n't work out for you . i wish you had told me . sonny : i was doing everything with good intentions , and , you know , i wanted everything to work out for everybody , and i just took karpov at his word , and i -- i should have done more research . kate : mm - hmm . well , then , it 's good you sent the wedding gift back , right ? sonny : okay , yeah , yeah . kate : i 'm glad that you stuck to your principles , that you recognize that we have enough , so you do n't have to go back to the mob . but what i 'm most grateful about is that i do n't have to worry at night that you 're going to be dragged back into the danger .

trey : yeah . yeah ! she -- look , she 's dating kristina 's brother . she 's fine . she 's -- she 's a good person , just someone i can talk to . starr : i ca n't help it . i get stuck on something , and i just ca n't let it go . johnny : hey , look , if this about what i said in the chapel -- starr : no , no , no , no , no . you were great last night . it was so hard for me . i was worried about michael 's sister , and i was thinking about hope . and you -- i do n't think i could have handled it without you . johnny : oh . well , i just -- i did n't mean to bring it up again . starr : josslyn 's gon na be okay . i saw michael this morning , and he had the biggest smile . he 's so relieved . i 'm really happy for him . we feel closer than ever , and that 's just sort of the problem . johnny : something happen with michael ? starr : not directly . someone told me something that could affect someone else . johnny : and that someone else who is affected is close to michael ? starr : look , i ca n't tell you anything more than that . i 've already said too much . johnny : all right . so then let me guess . this person with this secret would be -- trey . starr : what makes you think that ? johnny : you do n't remember me walking in on you swearing that his secret was safe with you ? starr : oh , god , i 'm terrible at this . johnny : no . maybe that 's a good thing . maybe that means that you 're fundamentally an honest person . now this secret of trey 's , huh ? you say it affects somebody close to michael . i 'm gon na guess that person is kristina . starr : you are dangerous . johnny : from what i remember , trey was insisting his secret did n't affect her . starr : yeah , well , at the time , i did n't think it did . todd : i had business in memphis . i came here straight from the airport . but if you had called me , i - i would have flown in last night . carly : my daughter was really sick . todd : which is why you should have called me . i -- look , i 'd like to be somebody [ clears throat ] who helps you . carly : that 's generous . thank you . todd : well , what if i did n't ? you know , what -- what if i did n't help you out and something happened ? what if your daughter died and i did n't help you out ? i 'd feel terrible . carly : thank you for caring , okay ? thank you . todd : you 're okay ? carly : i 'm okay . todd : okay . carly : i mean , last night was really scary . i mean , for a couple of hours there , it was really scary , but , you know , she 's doing great and she 's fine now . todd : yeah , my editor said that joss and alexis davis were injected with something . carly : yeah , we do n't know who did it , and we do n't know why . todd : you must have been terrified . carly : i was . but , you know , i had michael and johnny and jason . i was okay . todd : johnny . you had johnny ? carly : yeah , and he took very good care of me . todd : yeah , like he takes such good care of my daughter . starr : i trust you , johnny . that is the only reason i am telling you this , okay ? johnny : okay . consider me your sounding board . starr : that 's what i tried to be for trey , right ? i thought that i was helping him , but now i feel like i 'm lying to michael . and how can you do that ? how can you just sit in the same room with someone that you care about and not tell them the truth ? guitar dr. v. : there could be any number of reasons to have a false positive on a home - pregnancy test . you may not have followed directions as written . lulu : i did exactly what it said . dr. v. : perhaps the test was defective or had expired . dante : i mean , it was n't expired . you checked the expiration date , right ? lulu : well , maxie bought the test here in the pharmacy . i would think that it was current . dr. v. : it 's also possible that you may have experienced what 's called a chemical pregnancy . dante : well , what 's that ? dr. v. : the egg fertilizes but , for any number of reasons , fails to implant properly or progress to the next stage . lulu : so , are you saying i had a miscarriage ? dr. v. : we do n't usually call pregnancies that do n't last beyond the first few days a miscarriage . it 's so common . most women do n't even know they 're pregnant unless they take a first - day pregnancy test , as you did . lulu : so , um , long story short , we do n't know why i had a false positive ? dr. v. : i 'm afraid not . dante : but , uh , what about lulu ? she 's okay , right ? sonny : i hate the idea of joe jr. out there free to hurt the people -- kate : you gon na go after him , sonny ? sonny : if i want to find him , i 'm gon na find him . kate : what are you gon na do ? sonny : i -- there 's nothing for you to worry about . kate : do n't worry -- i 'm not okay with that , sonny . sonny : look , i just want you to feel free to feel what you feel . kate : i feel that we brought this on . sonny : why ? kate : because we wanted too much happiness , sonny . sonny : how ? kate : i do n't know . maybe we should have stopped at getting back together . maybe we should n't be getting married . maybe this is just a -- this is just us tempting fate . sonny : there is nothing wrong with you wanting to be happy , with you wanting to get married . we 're not gon na let joe jr . ruin this . kate : you 're right . you 're right . sonny : i swear to you , listen . i 'm not gon na let that animal come anywhere near you or anybody in my family . molly : are you out of your mind ? there is no way uncle sonny would ever let trey use his wedding for an episode of `` mob princess . `` kristina : do n't go jumping to conclusions . molly : no , wait , i get it . weddings are a big deal on reality shows . i just do n't think uncle sonny would ever agree to it . and i doubt kate would , either . and then if trey tried to sneak a camera in -- kristina : chill . i 'm -- i 'm not talking about dad 's marriage to kate . molly : so , whose marriage are you talking about ? kristina ? kristina : mine . trey : so , if you were released yesterday , then where have you been ? joe jr. : i had some follow - up to do with my lawyer . trey : okay , but they -- they ca n't arrest you again , right ? joe jr. : the case was thrown out for lack of evidence . no surprise considering i 'm innocent . trey : that -- that 's great , dad . you can go back to new orleans and , you know , get the shop up and going again . forget about sonny and what he took from your dad . you never really wanted any of that anyway , right ? joe jr. : we talked about this . trey : and now that you 're a free man , i do n't have to marry kristina . joe jr. : you know , i know you did n't want to marry this girl while her mother was in the hospital , but she 's fine now . trey : how 'd you know alexis had recovered , dad ? starr : i promised trey that i would n't say anything , but that 's before i knew that it had anything to do with kristina , much less michael . johnny : all right . well , now what you need to do is you need to weigh who 's more important to you -- trey or michael ? starr : trey is my roommate , and we 've sort of become friends , but michael 's obviously so much more , and i hate keeping something from him . johnny : huh . okay , so , is this secret -- is this secret something you think michael would want to know ? starr : probably . but -- and here is the hard part -- if i tell michael , then he 'll tell kristina , and we both know that kristina overreacts to things , and the last thing i want to do is to cause tension between michael and his sister . johnny : well , that right there sounds like a reason to keep quiet . starr : i know , but then i feel like i 'm being dishonest with michael , and -- you would never keep a secret from carly , would you ? carly : you 've been really supportive and sweet . do n't mess it up by bashing johnny . todd : i 'm not bashing johnny . i just -- i do n't think the guy 's so useful . carly : i mean , i get that you do n't like him , but johnny was great from the minute josslyn went missing . todd : missing ? i thought she was sick . carly : the night before , okay , i went to check on josslyn in her room . she was n't in her room . she was n't in her bed . she was n't anywhere in the house , and johnny found her outside . todd : yeah . johnny was at the house ? carly : yes , and we thought josslyn was sleepwalking , but it turns out she was n't . todd : so this is all johnny 's fault then . carly : it 's not johnny 's fault . josslyn was tucked in her bed . todd : apparently so was johnny . carly : which makes it my fault , todd , okay , because i was the one who was distracted . todd : this has got to be johnny 's fault . he 's just lucky another little girl did n't die because of him . carly : what do you mean , another little girl ? i love to eat . i love hanging out with my friends . dr. v. : lulu is perfectly healthy . sometimes these things just happen . i 'm sorry i had to deliver such disappointing news . [ pager beeping ] dr. v. : if you 'll excuse me , i 've been paged , but take all the time you need . you 're welcome to stay here and talk . any if you have any other questions , please just make an appointment . lulu : wow . dante : yeah . lulu : [ sighs ] you 're thinking you 're having a baby , and your whole life changes overnight , and then you 're back to where you were two days ago . dante : well , i - i do n't know about that . i think i was starting to get used to the idea of being a father , having a kid . lulu : are you disappointed ? dante : what about you ? are you disappointed or relieved ? kate : are you talking about hunting joe jr. down and killing him ? sonny : after what he did to you , everything in me wants to find him and take care of him . but it affects you . i know that . and you need to heal . and i know the violence in my life has affected you in the past . i can not jeopardize your health or recovery . [ exhales deeply ] kate : 'cause if you are , i say we kill joe scully jr . together . joe jr. : it 's all over the papers , son . i mean , kristina 's mom and some little girl nearly died from some , you know , mystery illness . trey : yeah , i just -- i did n't know it had gone public yet . joe jr. : it 's front page of the sun . you know , you 're the first person i thought of . it must have been rough , you know , waiting at the hospital to see if they 'd pull through . trey : yeah , the doctors said that alexis and this little girl -- they might die . i do n't know . they were given an injection or some sort of chemical substance . it was some twisted stuff . joe jr. : yeah . well , the good news is they survived . trey : well , yeah , that 's one way to look at it . joe jr. : you know me , kid . the glass is always half full , speaking of which , now that the mother 's gon na be fine , when do i get to toast the happy couple ? trey : [ scoffs ] you still want me to go through with this bogus wedding ? joe jr. : why would n't you ? nothing 's changed . trey : everything has changed , dad . you -- you 're a free man . sonny corinthos does n't even matter anymore . joe jr. : sonny 's still got our money -- everything my father meant to give me . trey : yeah , well , that -- that never meant anything to you in the past , right ? joe jr. : i was n't drowning in debt before . look , i 'm s -- i 'm sorry , trey . you know , i do n't mean to put this all on you , but i lost a lot of money on that reality series that did n't happen , and -- and my store is an inch away from a chapter 11 , so -- so you got to marry this girl -- tonight . kristina : okay , i know it sounds crazy . molly : for you to get married ? yeah , just a little . kristina : it 's complicated , molls . molly : so , then , let 's try to simplify . i 'm assuming you 're marrying trey . kristina : yes , and if you breathe a word of this to anyone , i will personally rip up every copy of `` wutherng heights `` in the house . molly : fine . but explain something to me now that you 've just brought up one of the greatest romances of all time . why now ? you and trey have only just started dating , so why not let it build , enjoy the suspense ? kristina : we 're not getting married for real . i mean , technically the marriage will be legal , but we do n't love each other or anything . it 's -- it 's for the show . molly : but the show never even aired . kristina : and when trey stopped production , he broke a lot of legal agreements , which left his father , who was the main investor , in a huge pile of debt . molly : okay . that does n't really sound like a very good reason to get married . kristina : trey 's dad needs his money back . he has to pay for a lot of legal expenses . molly : from what ? kristina : [ sighs ] trey 's dad 's in jail . he 's -- he 's innocent . he was framed . so he needs to pay for his defense , and it 's gon na get expensive . molly : maybe someone would be willing to represent him pro bono . kristina : you 're missing the point . trey has to deliver a full season of `` mob princess `` to cover his father 's debt , and he already has enough footage to piece together 10 episodes . he just needs a finale . molly : so you 'd be marrying trey as a stunt ? kristina : this is n't the first time a reality show has staged a wedding to boost its ratings , and it 's not like i 'm hurting anyone . starr : i know that trey is struggling over this thing with his dad , and i - i keep playing this one conversation over and over in my head . starr : it does n't make sense for your dad to want you with christina unless ... trey : unless what ? starr : he wants to use it against sonny . starr : you helped me figure out what i need to do . johnny : [ chuckles ] i have n't said anything yet . starr : no , no , no . you led by example . remember when you told me when carly gave you a second chance , you promised her that you would always be honest with her and never keep any secrets from her ? johnny : yeah . yeah , i remember that , and i - i meant what i said . but , still , that does n't mean that carly knows everything about me . carly : you just said `` another little girl `` could have died because of johnny . what did you mean ? todd : i just wanted to make sure that you were okay , and i should probably get back . i have a newspaper to run . carly : what little girl ? todd : my granddaughter -- hope . carly : johnny is not responsible for your granddaughter 's death . todd : no , carly , that 's just what he wants you to believe . i - i feel like you deserve the truth . carly : then prove it to me . what 's the truth ? johnny : if you tell anybody that i 'm the reason cole and hope are dead , and i will tell the world that sam 's baby is alive and well and living in llanview . carly : come on , todd . tell me how johnny 's to blame for everything . todd : well , he started the whole confrontation that -- that sent kate spinning into connie . and then connie tried to frame sonny , shooting out anthony zacchara 's tires . and if you think about it , johnny -- johnny 's the one who set that whole thing into motion . carly : that is the most convoluted accusation i 've ever heard ! todd : johnny 's not who you think . carly : oh , that 's it , huh ? johnny 's not who i think . todd : he 's not , and someday , somehow , everybody 's gon na know the truth . johnny : no one can know everything about another person . starr : are you hiding something from carly . johnny : no . all i 'm saying is , does carly know everything i 've ever done ? does she know every thought that i 've ever had ? no . starr : oh , i know there 's no such thing as total honesty . there are some things that you need to keep to keep to yourself . it 's just hard knowing when . johnny : okay , so , one rule that i try to live by is -- sometimes it 's better to keep quiet than to tell a truth you know will hurt someone . starr : yeah , well , in my case , sharing this secret could prevent someone from getting hurt . molly : okay , so let me get this straight . you would be marrying trey for the sake of a television show that has n't even aired yet ? kristina : do n't make it sound so pathetic . it 's -- it 's for a good cause . molly : well , i get wanting to help trey 's father , but what about your own parents ? i mean , you 've just made peace with mom and uncle sonny . kristina : which is why you ca n't tell them this is happening . molly : do n't you think they 're gon na find out ? assuming `` mob princess `` actually goes on the air -- and the season finale is their own daughter 's wedding ? kristina : okay . i 'll figure all that when i get to it . it 's not like i 'm marrying trey tomorrow . trey : you want me to marry kristina tonight ? joe jr. : the girl already agreed , so why wait ? you can fly her to vegas . trey : well , for starters , the only way i was ever even able to convince kristina to go through with this wedding thing was to fold it over into another episode of `` mob princess . `` joe jr. : so vegas is perfect . trey : whoa . wait . there 's her family . joe jr. : i thought you said that her mother was gon na be fine . trey : yeah , her mother 's fine , but father just got engaged to kate howard , and kristina would n't like it if we did anything that -- that messed with that wedding , dad . joe jr. : you do n't have time to worry about sonny 's hurt feelings . now , it 's only a matter of time before sonny finds out i 'm free . i do n't want him putting the pieces together and come after you . trey : sonny still has no clue that i 'm your son . joe jr. : yeah , and we ca n't risk him finding out until you 're protected . you got to marry kristina tonight -- as soon as possible . trey : are you sure ? joe jr. : yes , i 'm sure . sonny 's got a lot of power , a lot of favors owed . look how easy it was for him to frame me for something i did n't do . trey : but , dad , are you positive that -- that sonny is the one that framed you , that there 's no other explanation for this arrest ? sonny : you -- you want us to kill joe jr. ? kate : well , not literally . i want to banish him from our lives . sonny : well , do n't get my hopes up . for a second there , i - i thought you were gon na let me take him out . kate : sonny , what i want to take from him is his power over us . sonny : how ? kate : i 'll continue with my therapy . i 'll deal with what he did to me , what i did as a result -- leaving my baby son in a dresser drawer to die . sonny : no , no , no . you were traumatized . you did n't know -- i can tell you a thousand times -- that was joe 's fault . kate : all right . but other than therapy , i do n't want talk about him , i do n't want to think about him . he 's as good as dead and buried to me . sonny : you think that 's possible ? kate : yes , of course . that was your idea , right ? you said no more violence . i agreed . i just -- i want to move forward with our lives . sonny : that 's what i want to do , too . we 're getting married , right ? right ? so can we -- we 're supposed to be celebrating . kate : we 've lost a lot of years on that son of a bitch , sonny . i do n't want to waste one more minute . sonny : i do n't , either . i got better ways to spend my time . lulu : when maxie first suggested that i might be pregnant , i latched on to all the negatives . i do n't have time to have a baby . i just launched a new business . i -- our budget is tight . i mean , we do n't even have the space in an apartment for a baby -- barely space for us . and , most of all , i was thinking how i ca n't handle this responsibility . it 's a big commitment . dante : so -- so you are relieved ? lulu : i feel like i lost something wonderful -- before i got the chance to know it . dante : [ chuckles ] i - i ca n't stop thinking about last night , just how -- how excited we were and how incredible it felt to know that we had made this little person . lulu : hmm . dante : i 'm -- i 'm sorry . lulu : no . why are you apologizing ? i feel the exact same way . i mean , we were n't planning on getting pregnant . we basically had a false alarm . and [ exhales deeply ] i do n't know . it feels bigger than that , like we built up all these hopes in a short period of time , and now it 's gone . dante : at least we know we want kids , though , right ? lulu : i thought that was settled before we got married . dante : yeah , sort of , vaguely , but now it feels like it 's -- it 's definite . we -- we want to start a family someday . lulu : when is someday for you ? i mean , is it , like , a year , or is it two years , or -- dante : i do n't know . i did n't really have a timetable . lulu : what about now ? dante : now ? lulu : yeah , i mean , we got pregnant by accident . i mean , imagine what would happen if we actually worked at it . carly : do you remember why you told me you moved to port charles ? todd : uh , yeah . to be with my daughter . carly : and why else ? todd : what do you mean , why else ? carly : because she 's the only person who could tolerate you . todd : [ chuckles ] okay . all right . i can see where this is going . carly : i really am trying to be your friend , but you make it difficult . todd : why ? because i 'm trying to help you out ? carly : no . because you keep bashing my boyfriend . todd : well , we can bash whoever you like . carly : oh , my god . todd : the police department -- do they have any leads ? because i own a newspaper . i 've got private investigators on staff . we can do our own investigation . carly : i do n't need your help with that . jason is going to take care of that . todd : oh , great . the hit man in the black t - shirt . carly : and my dearest friend . todd : your dearest -- carly : and he 's never gon na let anyone get away with hurting josslyn . todd : i 'm -- i 'm trying to be your friend . i - i do n't usually say -- okay , i - i never say that . i 've usually been kind of sel -- i -- completely selfish . carly : me too . i think that 's why we get along so well . todd : [ chuckles ] okay , you just need to help me out , all right ? just tell me -- what is it ? what -- what can i do ? what do i need to do ? carly : you 're here , and you care . that 's enough . todd : that 's it ? that 's -- carly : that 's it . i did n't call you , but now i know i can . starr : i can not believe that this album is done already , after all the ups and the downs and signing with the wrong producer -- and losing cole and hope . my life is finally back on track , thanks to you . johnny : please . you 're the singer . i mean , you 're the one who stood up to the world and decided to share your stories through your music . starr : and it was possible because of you . you know what 's weird ? i do n't feel like i - i ever imagined being friends with someone like you . and if all those terrible things had n't happened , i do n't know if we would have ever met , gotten the chance to know each other . johnny : that impulse that i had to buy out your contract -- it 's one of the best i ever had . starr : well , i do n't know . it seems like a pretty uneven relationship , like you 're giving a lot more than you 're getting . johnny : well , i disagree . see , i 've made a lot of mistakes in my life , done things that i 'm not proud of , and this is my way of giving back to someone i believe in . starr : okay , you need to stop saying so many nice things . you 're gon na make me cry . johnny : right . do n't get too sentimental . starr : okay . this is it . i 'm going to thank you one last time for everything , including the advice . johnny : oh , well , consider the source . no one 's exactly called me wise or insightful . starr : i do . johnny : mm . starr : when i walked in here , i did n't know what to do about the trey situation . and thanks to you , now i do . trey : i 'm just thinking that you may have jumped to the wrong conclusion about sonny framing you . that 's -- that 's all . maybe there was someone else . joe jr. : you were n't there , kiddo . you do n't know what happened . i do . and i 'm very hurt that you do n't believe me . no , it 's just the two of us , trey , the way it 's always been , since the day that your mother turned her back on us . i ca n't let anything happen to you . trey : i feel the same way . joe jr. : now , i know that i 've dumped a lot on you this past few weeks about my family 's involvement with the mob , my history with sonny . but everything i 've told you is true . sonny 's the one who killed that girl , even though he walked . and now , all these years later , the cops reopen the case and sonny 's looking for a fall guy -- me . look it up if you do n't believe me . trey : dad , of course i believe you . i -- why would you lie to me ? joe jr. : then you got to trust me when i tell you to take kristina and leave town tonight . no , just do this one thing for me . it 's all i 'll ever ask . i swear on our bond as father and son , on my love for you , that everything i 'm asking you to do is for your protection . i 'm trying to safeguard your future . [ smooches ] i got -- i got to go take care of a few things . i 'll be in touch . [ smooches ] just , please , do what i ask . molly : i remember this movie i saw about a marriage of convenience , where the couple ended up falling in love and living happily ever after . who knows ? maybe that 'll happen for you and trey . kristina : we 're gon na get the marriage annulled as soon as the show airs , but it is bound to bring us closer together . molly : so you admit it . you do like trey . kristina : of course i like him . otherwise , i would n't be doing this . i mean , this is -- this is all for his dad , so it 's kind of a -- a mercy marriage . i almost wish i could tell my parents that i 'm doing something good . molly : i do n't know if i 'd go that far . kristina : i would . trey 's dad was accused of doing something he did n't do , and trey 's just trying to help his dad , and i 'm trying to help trey . even my dad could appreciate that kind of loyalty . always run to you -- kate : you 're right , you know ? sonny : hmm ? kate : this is a much better way to spend our time . hey , would you mind if i , um , told people that we were engaged ? or -- i do n't have to . i can -- i can just let them see the ring and let them draw their own conclusions . sonny : i 'll -- i 'll tell the whole world . kate : not the world . i just want to tell olivia , because , um , i have to go see her . sonny : i hope she 's happy for us . kate : are you kidding ? sonny : well , i do n't know . kate : sonny , you remember last summer when you were in your downward spiral ? she came to my office . she camped out . she badgered me until i came to you . sonny : well , that 's another reason i owe her . kate : she 'll be so happy . sonny : yeah . kate : i 'll be right back , okay ? sonny : oh , so i guess you 're leaving . that 's good . that -- what do you mean ? where are you going ? kate : well , do n't go anywhere , 'cause we have , you know , stuff to do . sonny : like what ? like what ? kate : we have a wedding to plan . sonny : oh , yeah , i forgot . kate : [ chuckling ] you did not . sonny : [ chuckles ] all right . bye . kate : bye . sonny : [ exhales deeply ] max , i need you to do something for me . joe jr. 's out of jail . find him . lulu : i want to make a family with you . [ chuckles ] dante : okay . i want that , too , but -- but we do n't have to do it right now . we can wait till we save some money and move to a place with a better school district . lulu : now . dante : what ? lulu : i know that that 's all very practical , but i want to be pregnant now . dante : what are you ta -- you just gave me 20 reasons why it was a terrible idea right now because you 're working too much , we 're broke . lulu : well , a lot of mothers work , and i have a partner -- johnny . he will cover while i 'm on maternity leave . dante : what about the apartment ? lulu : babies are like this big . [ both chuckle ] dante : they grow , and then they have all this stuff -- a crib , a stroller , a change table . lulu : we can stick to the bare essentials . dante : until my family throws you a shower , and then we have to lease a whole new apartment just to put all the baby stuff in it . lulu : okay , it 'll be a little crowded , but we have health insurance from the p.d . and the haunted star is starting to turn a profit , so we 're gon na have money in the bank in , like , a year . dante : baby , do you know what you 're saying right now ? lulu : well , in case i 'm not being clear enough , i want to make a baby with you . the sooner , the better . todd : i got coffee and café con leche , and i do n't remember what 's in here , and i got a mochaccino . carly : mochaccino . i have major sweet tooth . todd : yeah , you do .

[ door opens ] franco : it 's just not true . ava : it is , franco . kiki is n't your daughter . carly : i ca n't stand by and watch you fall more and more in love with kiki , knowing you 're gon na get your heart broken . so , if you lied to get her to the altar , you need to fix it before it destroys all of you . morgan : mom , that 's not -- [ door opens ] carly : it is ! michael : what 's going on here ? aj : elizabeth , what are you doing here ? elizabeth : what do you think i 'm doing here ? i 'm looking for you . aj : [ scoffs ] lucky you . you found me . elizabeth : aj aj : [ sighs ] elizabeth : how many have you had ? aj : not nearly enough , thanks to that bitch , connie . tracy : i 'm not one to give relationship advice . i always throw my lot in with guys that end up hurting me . connie : yeah , you kind of do . i still ca n't believe you fell for joe scully . tracy : i was n't even referring to him . luke : oh , hey . we got here as soon as we heard maxie was in labor . laura : are we too late ? did we miss the birth ? sonny : no , you did n't miss it . they 're just -- there 's been a complication . felicia : focus on your breath , sweetheart .

why -- why would -- why would you do something like this ? ! kiki : because she 's manipulative and sadistic . she 's been lying to me my entire life , changing her story every time she thinks she can make a quick buck . ava : kiki , that is n't true . kiki : first she told me that my father was dead . then she finally told me that my father was you . now you and i start to develop a relationship and she pulls the rug out from under us ? let me ask you a question . why on earth would you do that ? franco : i 'd like to know the answer to that . morgan : oh , i was telling mom about the wedding . she 's not too thrilled . michael : no surprise there . morgan : if you 're looking for my wife , she 's at the hospital checking on her da -- i mean , franco . sorry . even i ca n't believe that that 's not her fath -- michael : look , morgan , i got bigger things on my mind than what you did or did n't know about kiki , okay ?

you 've worked so hard on your sobriety . aj : and look where it got me ! huh ? ! i get thrown out of elq , sonny 's latest girlfriend treating me like a chump ! i lost everything because of her ! elizabeth : but you did n't lose me . i 'm right here , and i 'm not going anywhere . aj : you know what ? it did n't look that way when i saw you and nikolas at the hospital . lulu : mom ! dad ! i ca n't believe you 're here . oh ! both of you . luke : i told you i 'd be here . i 'd do anything for you . laura : sweetie , how come you 're not in with maxie ? sonny said there was some kind of a complication . dante : yeah , it 's , uh , it 's worse than we thought . maxie : an emergency c - section ? no , no , no , no . when i signed up to be a surrogate , i did not sign up for that . dr. chu : i 'm sorry , maxie . we were hoping to avoid this procedure , but the baby is not getting enough oxygen . we do n't have another option . felicia : maxie , you 're going to be fine , and so is the baby . mac : it 's gon na be over soon , sweetheart . spinelli : [ stammers ] the baby will be happy and healthy , you will be safe and sound , and dante and lulu will be new parents , okay ? maxie : spinelli , there 's something that i have to tell you . connie : luke spencer hurt you ? last time i checked , you two were joined at the hip . tracy : oh , we are . when he wants us to be . connie : a fair - weather friend . tracy : no , the opposite , actually . he needs me when the going gets tough . now , to be fair , he 's very supportive when my back is against the wall . all other times , catch - as - catch - can . he could show up , or he could disappear for months on end . depends on his mood . but i ... need more than that . i want more than he can give me . connie : forget about him , tracy . kick him to the curb . you deserve better than that , and if he ca n't give that to you , then do whatever you got to do . get him out of your life . tracy : sadly , that ... choice may be taken out of my hands . lulu : i am so glad that you could both be here . where were you ? luke : oh , that does n't matter . what 's important is , i 'm here . spinelli : maxie , you do n't need to say anything right now . maxie : yes , i do . there 's something that i have to tell you ! spinelli : okay , okay . go ahead . what is it ?

dr. chu : we have an o.r . ready for maxie right now . dante : all right . we 're coming with you , then . dr. chu : that 's not possible . dante : what are you talking about ? we 're the parents of the baby . dr. chu : fine . if we can get a spinal in her , then one of you can be in the room with her . dante : you . you . lulu : no ! but he 's the father ! dr. chu : we can open up the viewing area for dante , but that 's the best i can do . dante : hey , look , go . lulu : i love you . maxie : spinelli , please , i have to tell you something . spinelli : it 's not important right now . maxie : yes , it is . if this baby does n't make it -- spinelli : do n't be silly . of course she 's gon na make it , okay ? lulu : are you okay ? i 'm gon na be with you the whole time , okay ? you 're gon na be just fine . you can do this . dr. chu : okay . let 's get her up there . felicia : we love you , maxie . mac : see you soon . aj : [ slurring ] tracy kicked me out of my office , and i was feeling kind of down . well , silly me , you know . i figured maybe you could make me feel better , so i went to go find you at work . elizabeth : when you saw me with nikolas at the hospital -- aj : and , you know , i mean , i guess princes -- princes do n't work , do they ? so , you know , he beat me to it . and there you were in nikolas ' arms again . [ scoffs ] elizabeth : how many damn times do i have to tell you that i chose you and not him ? you know nikolas and i are still friends . aj : oh , come on ! you know , this friendship - card thing is really convenient , is n't it ? you know , i mean , he just comes on to you again and again , and you -- you love the attention , right ? but when i say anything about it , suddenly nikolas is just a friend . elizabeth : i needed a friend today ... because i was worried sick about you . aj : [ scoffs ] carly : you 're worried about aj ? what 'd he do to screw up this time ? michael : tracy made him pack up his office today , and it was -- it was pretty bad . now , elizabeth and i , we ca n't find him , and she thinks he might fall off the wagon , so we 're looking everywhere that he might be . that 's -- that 's why i 'm here . carly : i would n't be surprised if he did fall off the wagon , but for your sake , i hope it 's not true . michael : yeah . me , too . aj : so you 're just crying on his shoulder , telling him what a failure i am . oh , i bet prince nikolas loved that one . elizabeth : that is not what happened , and you know it . aj : oh , really ? tell me what i know . what do i know ? elizabeth : nikolas came to the hospital to check up on baby danny . i asked for an update . we started talking . he mentioned that you had gotten kicked out of elq . aj : [ chuckles ] i bet he did . elizabeth : and he was concerned that you would have a bad reaction . aj : really ? well , hey ... good for nikolas . because you know what ? he was right . elizabeth : i was upset thinking about you , wishing there was something i could do to help you . and when you walked in , nikolas was just hugging me . that 's it . aj : looked like a hell of a lot more from where i was standing . hmm . elizabeth : my god ! i knew you were gon na have this reaction when you walked out . i hate that i was right . aj : i doubt it . elizabeth : [ sighs ] aj it 's not too late . put the glass down . let me take you home . i chose you . and right now , it 's really important that you choose me . can you do that ? connie : luke is dying ? tracy : he came over to my house and collapsed in the middle of a conversation . one minute , we were bickering , and the next minute , he was lying on the floor . i called an ambulance , and ... [ sighs ] i got him to the hospital , and he had a battery of tests . i was convinced it was gon na be liver failure , but his actual condition is very rare and almost always ... fatal . luke did n't like the treatment option that general hospital offered , so he went off in search of a cure . connie : i 'm surprised you let him do it alone . tracy : i did n't . he put one over on me despite his saying that i am the bonnie to his clyde . he decided to handle this without me . he left me a note . `` i have to do this alone . `` connie : well , luke does strike me as the lone - wolf type . tracy : maybe . but it did n't stop his other ex - wife from going off after him . laura : hey , scotty , it 's me . uh , i 'm back in town , and , um , i 'm actually at the hospital right now because , uh , maxie 's in labor . and , uh , thought you should know . [ sighs ] luke : [ groans ] laura : talk to you soon . luke : [ groans ] laura : are you all right ? luke : no , no . sure . sure . i 'm fine . i 'm ... i 'm having a little setback , but i 'm okay . that swig that sean gave me from that vial was only a temporary fix . i 've got to find jerry if i 'm gon na get out of this mess alive . laura : we 've got to find jerry . you are not in this alone . luke : i appreciate that , darling , but we have to be realistic . at least if i kick the bucket , the important thing is i kept my word to lulu . i was here for the birth of our grandchild . laura : oh . [ monitor beeping ] dr. chu : lulu , good . ready to begin . maxie : lulu , i 'm scared . lulu : you 're gon na do great . i promise . just a little while and we 're gon na meet this beautiful baby . dante : [ mouthing ] i love you . [ heartbeat thumping ] mac : spinelli , will you stop pacing ? you 're making me nervous . felicia : mac , leave spinelli alone . spinelli : maxie seemed troubled , right ? she kept trying to repeatedly tell me something . what if she knows about some additional problem ? felicia : maxie 's going to be fine . now , you just have to stay strong and pray for the baby that she 's carrying . spinelli : that seems insufficient . i just feel like i should -- i should be in the room to support her . mac : spinelli , wait a minute . wait a -- you ca n't -- listen . with two sets of grandparents , all right , uh , the three of us , dante , and lulu , there would n't be any room to deliver the baby . felicia : we just have to wait until she delivers the baby . spinelli : [ sighs ] mac : then we 'll be able to see our daughter . felicia : everybody 's so worried about the baby , but that 's my daughter in there giving birth , having major surgery . mac : maxie will pull through , okay ? she 's a survivor . she has been all her life . the tougher things get , the more she shines . dr. chu : knife . [ monitor beeping ] maxie : lulu , you know i love you , right ? lulu : of course . i love you , too . maxie : i 'm really sorry about all this . lulu : what are you talking about ? this complication is not your fault . it could have happened to anyone . maxie : no . lulu : yes . and you are not just anyone . you are strong . you 're stronger than you give yourself credit for . you and me together , we are a force to be reckoned with . so you and me and my little girl are gon na pull through this , because you and me , maxie , are unstoppable . [ heartbeat thumping ] aj : just get out of here , elizabeth . leave me alone . elizabeth : you know i 'm not gon na do that . aj : why ? why not ? you -- you got a cassadine prince waiting in the wings . what the hell you want with a quartermaine deadbeat who ca n't even keep a job ? elizabeth : do n't you get it by now ? i do n't care about those things . your job and your money do n't matter to me . you do . aj : [ sighs ] how would i even take care of you ? elizabeth : you do n't need to ! right now i want to take care of you . aj : yeah ? yeah , what ? like -- like you took care of jake ? carly : i have n't seen aj morgan : yeah , me , either . carly : but it 's a big house . michael : yeah . i 'm -- i 'm gon na look around , actually . morgan : that sucks , man . glad my dad 's not a drunk . carly : knock it off , okay ? morgan : what ? you do n't even like the guy . carly : no , i do n't . i despise him . but i know this is a big deal , okay ? aj ca n't handle disappointment . he self - destructs , and he drags down anyone he cares about . he 's probably drinking , and if he 's drinking , he 's following his pattern , which means he 's face down in a gutter somewhere , and that 's gon na be hell on your brother . and michael is the one i 'm worried about . morgan : do you ever not worry about michael ? carly : i worry about you . i really , really worry about you . morgan : mom , but you do n't understand . carly : i understand how aj imploding will affect your brother . i also understand how this affects him and you . ava : all i will say is this . everything that i have ever done has been about protecting my family . kiki : everything that you have ever done is about greed , and anyone that gets in your way , you throw under a bus . ava : but not you , kiki . it 's always been you and me against the world , has n't it ? we 're family . kiki : you do n't know the meaning of the word `` family , `` and i want you to stay the hell away from mine . ava : what are you talking about ? kiki : morgan is my new family . now that we 're married , we are going to stay so far away from you . ava : married ? ! kiki : [ exhales ] carly : before michael came in here , you were about to tell me something . and let 's be real -- we both know what it is . you knew kiki was n't a quartermaine , and you kept it from her . there 's still time to make it right . all you got to do is tell the truth . ava : you and morgan are married ? you just got engaged . kiki : after we got our license , morgan convinced me that there was no reason we should wait . so , yes , it 's official . morgan : and then kiki -- she 's gon na realize that michael 's not her cousin and that they can get together . ava : yes , morgan . this has all occurred to me . morgan : well , you were supposed to take care of the silas factor . ava : i am ! i just ha - have n't gotten a plan in place quite yet . morgan : well , i got to marry kiki and fast before everything hits the fan . ava : this was morgan 's idea ? kiki : yeah . what about it ? morgan : all right , suppose i knew -- and i 'm not saying that i did . how will fessing up now solve anything ? carly : oh , honey . take it from someone who 's learned the hard way . lies never turn out the way you want them to . they -- they haunt you , and they destroy everything . save yourself the pain . any luck ? michael : alice and i looked everywhere . he 's definitely not here . morgan : all right , well , i should get going . carly : hey , wait . we were having a conversation . morgan : yeah , well , my wife 's at the hospital , and i need to get to her . seriously , mikey , i hope everything 's okay with aj michael : thanks . morgan : you know , you 're still my brother . i know i do n't always show it , but ... i do love you . michael : [ sighs ] [ door closes ] michael : uh , you know it 's bad when morgan 's acting sentimental . carly : he does n't want to see you hurt , okay ? neither do i. i know you 're concerned for aj michael : i 'm way past concerned , mom . i just hope elizabeth can find aj before he does something he 'll regret . elizabeth : what did you just say ? aj : come on . come on . you told me the whole reason this place is even called the floating rib is 'cause of you . elizabeth : do n't . aj : yeah . elizabeth : do n't say these things . aj : yeah , luke could n't stand to see the name of the kid he killed flashing in neon . your ex - father - in - law had a few too many and mowed little jake down . elizabeth : stop . please stop . aj : we -- we -- we both know the truth , do n't we , you know , what you tell me late at night , that none of this -- none of it would have happened if you were watching your son . oh ! ah ! luke : [ coughing ] sonny : [ exhales deeply ] here you go . luke : thanks . sonny : yeah . luke : you got anything stronger ? sonny : i wish . luke : somewhere along the way , i lost my flask . sonny : you okay ? luke : corinthos , you and i have known each other a long time , long enough for you to understand that i hate owing people for things . so , when i ask you a favor ... sonny : all you got to do is tell me what you want . i 'll do it . luke : this granddaughter of ours ... she 's , uh , coming into the world with a whole boatload of enemies because of you and me . sonny : mm - hmm . luke : you have the means to protect her . i want you to keep an eye on lulu and the baby when i 'm not around . sonny : what do you mean , when you 're not around ? [ monitor beeping ] dr. chu : i 'm almost done . you 're doing great . maxie : please , please let the baby be okay . dante : what are you doing here ? spinelli : sincere apologies for the intrusion . i was just ... i was worried sick about maxie . i was hoping you 'd allow me to stay . dante : yeah . i could use the company . i do n't know . i 'm a little nervous myself . spinelli : the wee one will be fine . more than fine . dante : yeah , it 's -- it 's not just that . i ... if everything goes well -- and i pray that it does -- i 'm gon na be a father . spinelli : i ca n't imagine anything more wonderful . dante : or more terrifying . spinelli : [ chuckles ] [ monitor beeping ] [ heartbeat thumping ] dante : i had a lot of family growing up , a lot of role models -- my grandfather , my uncles , coaches . and they were great . but , uh , you know , they were n't a father . and what this is , what that feels like , i ... i do n't know how to be a dad . just ... hope i can do right by my little girl . spinelli : i know you . you 're a good man . you 're gon na make a great father . olivia : so , lulu must be over the moon that you and luke got here in time for the baby 's birth , huh ? laura : yeah . i think so . olivia : something 's wrong , huh ? and i 'm not talking about the baby . laura : what do you mean ? olivia : that 's pretty obvious . luke 's not looking so hot . is he gon na be okay ? laura : yes ! [ chuckles ] of course . he 's gon na be fine . luke : and the old bitch got the better of me , man . she ... she did it . i 've got this one shot . and that 's if i follow the trail to the end . there may be a cure . if not , i wo n't be here for the kid 's first birthday . sonny : [ sighs ] what can i do ? luke : well , only i can get myself out of this mess , but you could keep an eye on lulu and the baby . just -- just watch out for my family , will you ? sonny : you have my word . i - i will protect lulu and our grandchild with my life . as long as i run this town , no harm will be done . luke : thank you , my friend . lulu : hang in there , maxie . she 's almost here . dante : i think this is it . dr. chu : here she is . bulb . peons . [ baby crying ] lulu : she 's perfect . tracy : i had no illusions about luke spencer . wait a minute . i take that back . i did . i had one really significant illusion when i married luke . that would be the real marriage , not the fake one he perpetrated on me for almost three years . connie : what a guy . tracy : luke is a liar , a cheat , and a thief . but i knew it going in . my mistake was thinking that he could make a lasting commitment to me ... give me his heart and his soul . he could n't . connie : i 'm sorry . tracy : [ voice breaking ] and knowing all that ... [ laughs ] ... it does n't change the way i feel about him . i ca n't shake the bastard ! [ sighs ] connie : i feel the same way about sonny . whatever 's happening with he and liv and the grandchild does n't make me stop loving him , either . olivia : grandparents , huh ? how do you even say that word without aging a few decades , right ? [ laughs ] luke : i do n't know about you , miss falconeri , but i 'm feeling as young and vibrant as a kid . olivia : [ laughs ] laura : ditto . mac : you know , it 's hard to accept that maxie 's even old enough to be a surrogate . felicia : yeah . it feels like yesterday that she was just born . i remember how it felt to hold her in my arms for that very first time . olivia : dante was such a beautiful baby . they grow up so fast , do n't they ? mac : i 'll say . absolutely . so , i guess we 're gon na be together for a long time . i guess , uh , we better get used to each other . [ baby cries ] lulu : oh , my god ! it 's my daughter ! maxie : are you sure she 's gon na be okay ? dr. chu : i 'm positive . she 's showing absolutely no signs of distress . lulu : you did it , maxie . you did it . dr. chu : would you like to cut the cord ? lulu : yeah .

[ chuckles ] as much as i hate to admit this , aj is biologically responsible for your existence , so i kind of owe him for that . and , you know , i want to help for your sake . michael : thanks , mom , really , but i can handle it . carly : i 'm coming . do n't argue with your mother . let 's go . ava : kiki , honey . franco : i 'm very happy for you . and i really hope that you and morgan are very happy together . kiki : thank you . and , mom , you can save your breath . i do n't want to hear another word that comes out of your mouth , because my life and my marriage is no longer any of your business . ava : oh , kiki . kiki : goodbye . and , franco , i am so sorry . i was actually really looking forward to getting to know you . franco : yeah . me , too . kiki : i do n't even know how to explain why my mother did what she did . but hopefully you 'll get a better answer than i can .

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 .
scott : thank you for coming , miss demuccio . ava : [ brooklyn accent ] well , you did n't give me much of a choice , did you , mr . fancy pants ? you sent some hulk of a process server to drag me here . what 's this all about ? scott : well , why do n't you take the stand , get sworn in , and we 'll all find out together ? [ scene_break ] nina : you came . i 'm surprised you 're here . i 'm surprised . nathan : i was , you know , thinking about you , wanted to see how you 're doing . nina : um , i 'm not doing so great . i 'm worried . they 're saying such horrible things about franco on the tv . i wanted to be with him at his trial , but then mother stopped by , and she stopped me from going . nathan : wait , madeline was here ? why ? what 'd she want ? nina : um , she wanted me to sign this . [ scene_break ] madeline : [ sighs ] five - star hotel my ass . nina : read something over before you sign it . it 's the reeves way . so i need to do my due diligence and read this over before i put my john hancock on a legal document that could be binding . madeline : [ sighs ] i wonder what you have to do to get a drink around here . [ scene_break ] carly : hey , sonny . you okay ? you took off pretty fast after michael said he probably would n't be attending our wedding . sonny : yeah , well , no matter what , you know , i could n't stop hoping . carly : well , he left some wiggle room . he still may come . sonny : well , you know , i 'm getting a pretty beautiful dose of avery right now , and between the two of you , uh ... i think i 'll be fine if michael does n't show up to the wedding . [ scene_break ] [ kiss ] sabrina : [ chuckles ] that better be michael and not mr. hornsby . michael : or his son , right ? sabrina : oh , i do n't know . dillon sure looks good swimming his laps every morning . he 's very fit . michael : okay . sabrina : [ laughs ] but , michael , you 're the man for me . michael : and you 're the woman for me . sabrina : i was just doing some work for the clinic . did you get to speak with lucas ? michael : uh , no . he was n't at my mom 's place . but , uh ... sonny was . [ scene_break ] sonny : you know what ? even if michael ca n't bring himself to come , um , this wedding is gon na be one of the best days of my life . carly : well , michael 's about to turn a corner with you . i know it . sonny : you do n't think that 's just wishful thinking , carly ? carly : no , michael and i had a really good talk after you left . although , um ... sonny : what ? carly : well , i need to tell you what michael said about morgan . [ scene_break ] morgan : why is your aunt denise here ? kiki : i have no idea . ric : uh , your honor , may we approach ? judge chua : mr. lansing , mr. baldwin , sidebar . ava : are you responsible for this ? did you have papi drag me here ? franco : no . i do n't want you anywhere near here . ava : oh . do you think that i should call my lawyer ? [ normal voice ] the police will fill in the details when they get their own copy of this picture , which they will , if you say even one word against me . the truth may set you free , franco , but nina will take your place . [ brooklyn accent ] what do you think , franco ? should i use this now ? [ scene_break ] michael : your , uh , nose is pink there . sabrina : thanks for the warning . [ laughs ] so , you said that sonny was at your mother 's ? michael : yeah . they set a wedding date . wednesday , september 2nd . sabrina : it 's coming up quick . michael : yeah , and my mom repeated the invitation . she really wants me to be there . sabrina : what did you say ? michael : i considered it for a minute , but i was there to drop off lucas ' contract for the clinic . um ... but , uh ... [ sighs ] you know , then it hit me again . sonny killed my father . so i had to be honest with my mom and tell her that i did n't think i can make it . sabrina : michael , do you ever think you 'll be able to forgive sonny ? michael : forgive him for killing my father ? no , how could i ever do that ? [ scene_break ] sonny : what did michael say about morgan ? carly : he said he saw morgan here at the metro court bar on july 31st . now , that 's the night that silas died , sonny . michael said that morgan seemed upset and shaky . and this is before the media picked up silas ' death . there 's no way that morgan could have known that silas was dead . sonny : but we already talked about this . i saw morgan the night that i was , you know , going to the city for the meeting . and he was scared that kiki was gon na find out that he cheated on her . it does n't make him a - a killer or bipolar . carly : okay , you know what ? we 're just gon na with that for now . but when everything 's calmed down and we can all take a breath , we have to make sure that morgan sees a psychiatrist , because we 've got to figure out what 's going on with him . sonny : yeah , yeah . we 'll do that . madeline : hello ? does anyone actually work here , or do i need to go and mix my own drink ? carly : i got to go . there 's a customer here that could be a problem . we 'll finish this talk later ? i love you . sonny : i love you . carly : kiss avery for me . hi , madeline . what can i do for you ? madeline : you remember me . carly : how can i forget ? [ scene_break ] nathan : mother left this with you ? does n't look like much of a care package . nina : yeah , she 's not really the type to bring homemade cookies , is she ? nathan : it 's true . nina : yeah , um , according to madeline , this is all about my comfort , safety , and well - being . nathan : how so ? nina : um , it gives madeline and ric control of my finances , so i do n't end up in some dreadful dungeon , and i can stay here in the white - collar paradise that is shadybrook . all i have to do is sign it . nathan : nina , are you kidding me ? you ca n't sign this . [ scene_break ] scott : miss demuccio , you can take the stand now . ava : oops . it 's -- you know what ? it 's a new phone . i accidentally opened my photos . oh , there 's a cute photo of kiki and some selfies and some other people doing some very nasty things . let me see if i can get back to my contacts . i 'm sure my lawyer 's in here . let 's see . where is alexis davis ' phone number ? [ scene_break ] [ door shuts ] alexis : hey . julian : hey . come here . mm ! alexis : i can see you 're upset . do n't deny it . and if it 's about what sonny did after the arraignment this morning , do n't be . julian : yeah , well , it does upset me when corinthos tries to convince you i 'm lying to you . but , uh ... [ sighs ] actually , there is something else . ava : [ normal voice ] it 's me -- ava jerome , alive and in the flesh . alexis : what is it ? just tell me . julian : [ sighs ] i 'm worried about my sister . [ scene_break ] ava : [ brooklyn accent ] now , how do i get back to my contacts ? oh , no , that would send this picture to everybody in my address book . we do n't want that . franco : i never mentioned a word about you to my father -- not a word . ric : your honor , is attorney baldwin calling this witness or not ? franco : he is not . judge chua : mr. baldwin ? scott : just take it easy , okay , huh ? couple of questions -- nothing to get upset about . judge chua : miss demuccio , the court will not ask you again . take the stand now and put away your phone . ava : okay . i just hope i do n't have to use it . bailiff : do you swear to tell the truth , whole truth , and nothing but the truth , so help you god ? ava : of course , i do . i got nothing to hide . [ scene_break ] sonny : we are gon na do right by you , you know ? we are not gon na make the same mistakes we made with your brother . you 're not gon na be a target like michael . we 're not gon na send you off to boarding school , you know ? you 're gon na stay home for about 40 years . and you 're never gon na feel -- you 're never gon na feel like ... you 're not wanted , because you are my precious little girl . a perfect world for a perfect little girl . olivia : aww . sonny . sonny : hey . olivia : look at that beautiful little baby . [ gasps ] sonny : you 're back ? olivia : oh , come here . mwah . yeah , i do n't know how long i 'm gon na stick around , but i ran into philly outside , and he told me to come right on in . [ gasping ] ohh . you are so sweet with that baby girl . sonny : it 's -- it 's great to have her home . olivia : i told you that michael would come to his senses and make things right with you . [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] sabrina : i 'm sorry , michael . i did n't mean to upset you . michael : no , it 's fine . it 's fine . but the truth is i 'd like to forgive sonny and let go of all this anger and just be a family again . [ sighs ] i know you think that 's what my father would want for me . sabrina : i do . michael : [ inhales deeply ] the thing is , is , uh ... aj did n't raise me . sonny did . and sonny instilled in me at a very young age that your word is all you have , and if you break that , you 're nothing . sabrina : i - i do n't follow . michael : the night that connie was killed , sonny blamed aj . and why would n't he ? ava framed him . sabrina : for a crime that she committed . michael : sonny was going after aj . he was ready to kill him . i stopped him . i asked him , as my father , to let aj live . he gave me his word that he would not touch aj . that 's why i never suspected him in aj 's murder , because i never believed he would break his word . but he did . sabrina : how much do you know about the circumstances ? michael : i know exactly what happened . i heard the recording . [ sighs ] aj was begging sonny not to shoot him . he tried to explain that he did n't kill connie . but ava , she was choking , gasping for air , saying that aj was trying to strangle her . and sonny was furious . he was -- he was -- he was yelling at aj and ... then he pulled the trigger . and aj 's voice stopped . sabrina : so the situation was chaotic . people were yelling and screaming at each other . and on top of all of that , sonny is bipolar . michael : yes , but he 's on medication . sabrina : well , i 've been in the medical profession long enough to know that dealing with mental illness , treating it with drugs , is n't always an exact science . michael : what do you mean ? sabrina : maybe sonny did n't intentionally break his word . you know , maybe he could n't help himself . maybe in that moment , sonny had no control over his actions . michael : my , uh -- my mom thinks the same thing might actually be happening to morgan . [ scene_break ] carly : gin martini , very dry , with a twist . madeline : [ chuckles ] impressive . [ indistinct conversation ] madeline : [ sighs ] i needed that . carly : [ laughs ] that 's funny . the first time we met , you said that . you said that it 's frustrating when people do n't do what you want them to do . madeline : [ chuckling ] really ? carly : mm - hmm . madeline : that 's exactly the way i feel right now . i must be drawn here when i get bad news . carly : oh , believe me , i know the world would be a much better place if people would just listen to me and do what i wanted them to do . madeline : it 's like you 're reading my mind . carly : mm - hmm . yeah , and the last time you were here , you were upset because of your daughter 's ex - husband silas clay . he did n't do something that you wanted him to do . i 'm guessing he 's not the reason you 're drinking , unless you 're upset about his death . madeline : no . i mean , it -- it 's terrible what happened to him . carly : yeah . franco 's being tried for his murder . madeline : franco -- yet another of my daughter 's very bad choices . carly : is franco the reason you need a good martini ? he 's driven me to plenty . madeline : no . [ sighs ] nina 's men have nothing to do with this . right now , my frustration is with nina herself . [ scene_break ] nina : i was pretty sure that mother was trying to pull a fast on me that 's why i did n't do as i was told . nathan : it 's a good thing you did n't . nina : yeah . you should have seen her . she was practically bleeding from her ears when i told her i needed some time to look it over . nathan : yeah , well , you know , i 'm pretty sure that this is madeline and ric working together to try and take control of your money . nina : yeah , that would explain the papers , right ? nathan : well , no , i think it 's more than that , though . i think that she and ric want you to think that you kidnapped avery again . nina : do n't worry . i 'm over that . nathan : you are ? nina : yeah . i 'm 100 % sure i did n't take that baby from the hospital . nathan : well , that 's -- that 's great news . but what convinced you ? nina : um , i just know . that 's all . nathan : no , nina , you were -- you were so convinced that you kidnapped that baby and blacked out that you checked yourself in here . nina : uh , yeah , but i was -- i was confused , and i 've had time to think it over . nathan : you -- no , you just said you were 100 % . now , how could you be unless you knew who actually kidnapped that child ? nina : can we talk about these legal documents ? nathan : no . no , we can not . i need you to tell me who kidnapped avery corinthos . nina ? was it you ? nina : it was silas . [ scene_break ] scott : miss demuccio , i understand why that phone is important to you . ava : you do ? scott : yeah , detective falconeri testified that you had called silas clay on the night he died . but you did n't leave a message . ava : the detective already asked me about that call . scott : but we need to hear it from you . ava : oh , okay . i was calling to invite silas to a little dinner party i was planning for my sweet niece , kiki . [ scene_break ] alexis : why are you worried about denise ? julian : [ sighs ] she was here when i got home from the arraignment . a process server showed up , and now she has to go testify in franco 's murder trial . alexis : okay , she probably got called in because she dated franco briefly , which she should n't have done in the first place . you know , dna is a very powerful thing . not only is ava attracted to franco , but so is her twin sister . julian : [ chuckles softly ] [ scene_break ] ava : i was gon na invite my brother , too . i thought it 'd be nice to have a nice , warm family gathering for my niece when she got back to town , but we never did break bread together . scott : well , that was very thoughtful of you , miss demuccio . ava : well , i love my niece very much . scott : i 'm just curious about one thing . why did n't you invite dr. clay to the dinner party earlier that day ? ava : i do n't follow . earlier that day , when ? scott : when he was at your home . [ scene_break ] olivia : i 'm so glad that you and michael were able to patch things up . come here , my sweet pea ! hi ! sonny : well , i would n't go that far . olivia : oh , big girl . sonny : he gave me back my daughter , which is huge , but he -- he does n't really accept me as his father anymore , so i do n't think that 's gon na happen . olivia : sonny , you 've both come so far already . you just -- you got to give it time , right ? sonny : yeah , but you know what ? i think it 's getting a little better , 'cause carly invited him to the wedding , even though i do n't think -- olivia : whoa , wait , hold the phone . what -- what wedding ? sonny : [ laughs ] we 're getting married again . olivia : oh , sonny ! mwah . congratulations . sonny : you -- you mean that ? olivia : [ sighs ] of course , i do . sonny ... you were my first love . sonny : mm - hmm . olivia : and you know that . but you ... [ inhales deeply ] ... you 're a complicated man , you know ? we were n't meant to go the distance . and we both know the things that i could n't accept . and carly , she knows you inside and out . and she can handle all the ups and the downs . honest to god , i think she 's the only woman in the world who could . i really do . i wish you the best , both of you . sonny : well , that means a lot to me . olivia : yeah . and this one , you are just a gorgeous kid ! sonny : oh , my god . olivia . olivia : what ? what ? what ? sonny : well , you 're here , you 're happy about my kid , and you lost your own kid , and that 's the most generous thing i 've ever seen . olivia : yeah , well ... sonny : it 's a hell of a thing , but i have not been able to come to you to say i 'm sorry . olivia : no , no , no . sonny , please , no . you do n't have to be sorry .

[ scene_break ] sabrina : carly thinks morgan 's bipolar ? michael : it would explain a lot of the bad decisions he 's been making . sabrina : well , what do you think ? michael : i do n't know . morgan 's certainly been different since he 's come back to port charles . sabrina : well , patients with bipolar disorder often begin to manifest symptoms in their 20s . michael : yeah , i mean , he got caught up in online gambling . he tricked kiki into marrying him after he found out she was n't a quartermaine . he slept with ava hours after their marriage imploded . he teamed up with julian against sonny . he almost killed max . sabrina : taking risks , behaving impulsively , bad decision - making -- those are all symptoms of bipolar disorder . michael : they 're also signs of an immature screw - up . sabrina : do you really think that 's all it is ? michael : [ sighs ] i do n't know . i mean , i ... i - i watched sonny struggle with this illness all my life . a couple years ago , he almost killed himself . morgan , dante , and i , we managed to talk him down , but it was a close call . and to think that my little brother could be going through something like that ... sabrina : manic behavior often means pushing away the very people who are trying to help you . but if this is what morgan is facing , then he needs to start treating his illness . michael : before he does something he ca n't take back . sabrina : like drugging you to make you look like an unfit parent . michael : just the latest in a whole series , sabrina . at least i think it 's the latest . [ scene_break ] madeline : you what ? have your own cross to bear ? carly : [ sighs ] not sure . i 'm really worried about one of my sons . mental illness runs in the family , and lately , his behavior has been really troubling . his father thinks i 'm overreacting . madeline : it 's really hard to accept that your child is ill . i know . i -- [ sighs ] i tried to manage nina on my own for far too long , to both our detriment . carly : i 'm really hoping that i 'm wrong , and that it 's just temporary , and it 's because he 's hanging around and sneaking around with this woman that is a bad influence for him . but what if it 's not ? madeline : i tried to blame nina 's behavior on anyone except nina for far too long , until i could n't anymore . having a mentally ill child can just make a parent 's life impossible .

[ scene_break ] sonny : of course , i 'm sorry , olivia . i mean -- you know , why would n't i be ? olivia : i just -- all i meant was that i got your flowers , and they were -- they were beautiful . and i do appreciate your sympathy . but my son 's safe now . he 's safe and away from julian . uh - oh , you dropped it , baby . sonny : does that give you comfort ? olivia : [ sighs ] you know , all his talk about getting out of the mob is just that -- it 's talk . he just got arrested for hijacking your trucks . what ? sonny : julian 's walls are closing in . olivia : yeah . you know , but i -- i ca n't help but wondering . you think there 's any chance that julian could be sincere , maybe ? you know , maybe someone else is coming after you , and maybe he 's telling the truth , and he really is out of the mob . [ scene_break ] alexis : you know , i certainly hope denise does n't get herself into the same kind of trouble that ava did . julian : mm . alexis : who had the martini ? julian : oh . denise , maybe .

[ scene_break ] olivia : sonny , i spoke to julian . he seemed like a changed man . it really seemed like losing leo -- i named my son leo . sonny : that 's a strong name . olivia : he said that losing leo made him realize how much the business had already cost him . he said he was out . sonny : mm - hmm . olivia : then he got arrested . sonny : so , this is the coward who i ca n't touch 'cause he 's the only match for danny 's bone marrow ? he -- the guy who ordered a hit on duke and got away clean , who walked out of court today on bail ? olivia : yeah , i guess it runs in their family . we 're never gon na get the satisfaction of seeing his sister rot in prison for killing connie . [ scene_break ] ava : what about me and the defendant ? scott : well , is n't it true that you and franco were seeing each other ? ava : kinda . ric : o - objection , your honor . r - relevance ? what is this , the dating game ? judge chua : overruled . but move it along , counselor . scott : so , what was in it for you , miss demuccio ? ava : you know , it was silly . but my sweet niece was trying to set me up with her father . and he just was not my type , god rest his soul . scott : so that was the only reason why you were parading around with the defendant ? ava : yeah , why ? scott : well , maybe it 's because of this . ava : am i supposed to know what that is ? scott : it 's a dna test . [ scene_break ] julian : what did olivia have to say about my son ? alexis : oh , she did n't say anything more . she just wanted to apologize to you for not telling you you were the father while she was pregnant . julian : that 's all ? alexis : [ sighs ] it 's all that was relevant . julian : okay . i want to hear it anyway . alexis : same old , same old . i see . julian : so because i was arrested , olivia thinks that i 'm lying about leaving the mob , huh ? alexis : she was n't really that nice about it . she said your lying draws blood and that you will never change . julian : that 's a refrain you 've been hearing a lot lately from several different people . alexis : everyone thinks you 're lying . julian : [ inhales sharply ] [ grunts ] is all that negativity getting to you ? [ scene_break ] olivia : i 'm supposed to believe that ava faced some sort of divine justice when she fell of that bridge ? what about connie , huh ? she never got the justice the she deserved here on earth , the kind that we could see , where ava had to spend the rest of her life rotting in prison surrounded by a bunch of criminals who are as ruthless as she was . sonny : ava should have rotted behind bars , never to see avery , and just letting the world go on without her . olivia : the cops had all the evidence they needed to convict her . they had the recording of her talking to aj , saying how she put a bullet in my beautiful cousin . sonny : you do n't think i feel the same way ? i lost it when i saw ava 's look- alike sister walk in . looked just like her . but , you know , i wanted to give her my own justice , if you know what i mean . but then the dna test said that denise was n't ava , so ... but it looked exactly like her . what was i supposed to do ? olivia : i think it 's just best to err on the side of caution with this one , sonny . sonny : then she walked in here , right ? wanted to be part of my daughter 's life . no way in hell ... [ avery cries ] sonny : it 's okay , baby . ... am i letting that woman anywhere near my daughter . it 's okay .

[ scene_break ] nina : i 'm so sorry . i can not tell you why silas needed to kidnap the baby . nathan : why not ? nina : because i promised franco i would n't . nathan : because you promised franco ? what -- are you protecting him now ? nina : no . nathan : did franco kill silas , because he kidnapped avery and made you look guilty ? nina : franco did not kill silas . nathan : listen . i do n't know what franco has been feeding you about this murder , okay ? but he refuses to identify this mystery person that he insists did it . nina : i - i 'm sure he has his reasons . nathan : nina , the last time i was here , that phone call that i took , that was liesl calling me to tell me that franco had this great theory about an alternate suspect . you even told me to go talk to him . so then i did , and when i questioned him , he clammed up . nina : listen to me . look at me . look at me . trust me . somebody else did kill silas . nathan : who ? [ scene_break ] franco : where are you going with all of this ? ric : yes , excellent question . franco : well , then , why do n't you object or something ? judge chua : the defendant will sit down and be quiet . scott : as i said , i am holding a dna test . have you ever submitted to a dna test ? ava : yeah . when i first got to town , they dragged me to the police station 'cause they thought that i was my sister , ava jerome . i guess she was wanted for murder when she died . scott : right , it just proved that you were , um , like , a close relative , correct ? ava : correct . i 'm ava 's fraternal twin . so they were wrong . i 'm not ava . i do n't even know why you 're bringing this up now , 'cause it 's ancient history . i 'm denise . scott : well , i - i 'm just a little confused about something . ava : what 's not to get ? scott : uh , well , you see , this test proves something entirely different . it proves that you and ava are an exact match . [ scene_break ] michael : i should talk to morgan about the possibility that he 's like sonny . should be a tough subject . sabrina : well , he might be more likely to listen to you than if sonny or carly approached him . michael : yeah , that 's true . i mean , he 's so defensive around them . he 'd probably take their concern as criticism . sabrina : you know , maybe you should wait until after the wedding in case morgan thinks you guys are ganging up on him , and then he flies off the handle . it would really be shame if he messed up sonny and carly 's big day . michael : like it would be a shame if i mess it up by not going ? sabrina : michael , that 's entirely up to you . but whatever you decide , i 'm with you . michael : [ sighs ] how did i get so lucky ? sabrina : i 've been asking myself the same thing . [ scene_break ] sonny : maybe this denise woman is ava 's twin like the dna test says it is . but you know what ? that 's too close to ava for my liking . here 's the bottom line . carly is this little girl 's mother , and that will cancel out any jerome blood in her . olivia : sonny , you are gon na do right by this beautiful baby . she 's gon na grow up happy and healthy and untouched by the jeromes . ava ca n't mess with your baby . and julian ca n't mess with mine .

at franco 's trial , scott calls `` denise demuccio `` to the stand . using insinuation ava manages to let franco know that she will give the police the photo of nina standing over silas ' body with a knife if he implicates her in anything . scott questions `` denise `` about the call she made to silas the day he was killed and his visit to her the same day . she claims she was n't home . then scott brings up a dna test proving that she 's really ava . julian talks to alexis about his sister but does n't divulge that he knows denise is really ava . alexis assures him she believes in him . while sonny assures avery that she 'll grow up in a perfect world , olivia pops in and agrees with sonny not to let `` denise `` near avery , just like julian wo n't mess with her child .

[ scene_break ] sonny : i want to do whatever i can to support you . you know that . alexis : kristina and molly are sisters . sonny : yes . alexis : and sam is their sister , as well , and i know that she 'll be there to look after them , but ric is molly 's father , and he loves kristina as if she were his own . i just do n't want kristina uprooted from everything that she knows . you can see her whenever you want . but this way her day - to - day experience will still be stable and it wo n't be disrupted . sonny : okay , do you really think ric is a better father than i am ? alexis : it 's not a question of `` better . `` he 's an attorney . if he has two children of his own to raise , my guess is that he wo n't be involved with the mob . sonny , they 're sisters . they need to be together . you could see her whenever you want . sonny : i 'm not going to fight you on this , but i 'm not going to lie to you , either . if , god forbid , anything happened to you , i 'm going to do what i think is best for my daughter , and that is not being raised by ric .

[ answering machine beeps ] maxie : i have known lucky most of my life . and , yeah , it 's no secret that i had a huge crush on him . so all i heard or cared about was that he needed me . and whether you like it or not , he did . i mean , the loneliness and isolation came off of him in waves , and he said you did n't care about him . why would n't i believe that ? elizabeth : are you done making excuses for your inexcusable behavior ? maxie : i know sleeping with lucky was wrong . but i care about him . i was n't just trying to break up your marriage . elizabeth : oh . well , you 'll be glad to know that you did n't . because lucky begged me not to leave him . and by the way , he 's getting clean . maxie : but if he 's still in pain -- elizabeth : his back has been healed for months . lucky 's been taking the pills because -- and try to understand this -- he 's addicted . look , i would -- i would really like to give you the benefit of the doubt , but i know you 're still reeling over jesse 's death and i know firsthand that grief can make you -- well , stupid and do self - destructive things . but i do n't know . i just have this feeling that it 's more deliberate than that . that you -- you took advantage of my husband 's chemical dependency to get him into bed to fulfill some teenage fantasy . you do n't really care about him . maxie : i 'm sorry , but that 's not true . elizabeth : if you want to do something to help him , pretend he does n't exist . all you are is a reminder of how close he came to throwing away his life . [ scene_break ] sam : the part of me that likes to blow up my life wants to tell alexis that i was with ric that night . jason : how would that help alexis ? sam : because she has every right to reject me , jason . jason : you know alexis could die . and it was probably really hard for her , but she admitted she needs to count on you . and if you tell her what happened with -- with ric , she 'll be losing you at the exact same time she needs you the most . sam : so you think i should keep it a secret ? jason : i ca n't tell you what to do . i should have never tried . [ sam sighs ] [ scene_break ] patrick : so is this what it 's like to be in a relationship ? robin : what ? patrick : well , when you took off , i figured you went to one of two places . the hospital roof -- i know you go there to let yourself hurt -- or here . i went to the roof first . you were n't there . then i remembered you brought me out here the day that i was exposed to aids , told me to look past the water at the horizon , try and see the bigger picture . robin : that sure sounds like me -- full of unsolicited advice and positive aphorisms . you know , why do n't you just tell me to shut up , that no perspective is going to change the truth , that aids kills -- millions and millions of people every day and there is still no cure . i mean , maybe it 's not even possible . patrick : you do n't believe that . robin : you can throw more money at it , you can develop new drugs . the drugs are working , but no one knows how well really or for how long . the doctors tell me that if i stay on the cocktail , that i could live a long and healthy life , but nobody knows for sure . the only thing that 's for sure is that if and when the drugs stop working , that aids is going to ravage my body and kill me just like it killed stone and just like it killed april .

[ scene_break ] sam : i know alexis needs my support more than she needs the truth , and my impulse to tell her is just -- it 's completely selfish . jason : what do you mean ? sam : it 's the screwed - up way i think , jason . if i were to tell alexis the truth , she would -- she would hate me . she would disown me . and i would know that she would have every right to . and i would take my punishment because i would deserve it . i would leave town , i would put it behind me , and it would be over . it would be done with . on the other hand , keeping the secret means living with it . it means waking up in the morning with it over a cup of coffee . it means taking it into work , taking it into every single interaction that i have with my mother , bringing it home at night , and never knowing when it would blow up -- only knowing that at some point , it would have to .

[ scene_break ] ric : i assume you wanted to see me about alexis . sonny : yep . i just came from her office . i know she has lung cancer . 50 % chance of survival . you have to maximize those odds . ric : i do n't need instructions from you on how to treat my wife . sonny : apparently you do , because she 's geared up for the biggest fight of her life . she 's going to need her family . that includes you and sam . ric : well , that wo n't be a problem , sonny . sonny : it 's not going to be a problem . no , not at all . as long as you keep your distance -- you do n't get anywhere near sam , you do n't touch her . ric : okay , wait , wait . whoa , wait a minute . i -- i resent the fact that you 're going to say something like that . i regret what i did . i 'm not going to do it again . sonny : no -- well , unless you 're mad enough or feel sorry for yourself . then you know what ? you 'd be all over it , because that 's what you do . it 's who you are . alexis does n't see it , but i do . now , alexis loves you , for whatever reason . so you need to be the man she thinks you are . you need to give the greatest performance of your life . you 're going to take care of her while she 's battling this cancer , and you 're going to love her . because if she dies , i ca n't help -- i ca n't -- you 're not under my protection anymore . ric : here we go -- why does it always got to be about threats ? why ca n't you just be a brother for once ? sonny : because threats is what you understand , and this is way too important for mixed signals . alexis ' life is at stake .

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

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

[ scene_break ] nikolas : uh -- what happened ? emily : nikolas , i love elizabeth . she 's the closest girlfriend i 've ever had , and i 'm nowhere near perfect , but -- nikolas : what , but what ? emily : jason was just tried for murder . he and sam are finished . he 's been through hell , mostly because he risked his freedom for elizabeth and jake , and now it 's too dangerous for him to see them ? it 's just not fair . nikolas : emily , would n't it -- would n't it be easier for lucky and elizabeth to work out their problems if jason was n't in the picture ? i thought that 's what you wanted . emily : i do . i did , okay ? i did -- until i realized how much we 've all changed . it 's wrong for elizabeth to keep denying her own feelings . it 's not going to do anyone any good . and i 'm sorry , but as much as i love lucky , my brother deserves some happiness , too . nikolas : yeah . well , as wonderful as i 'm sure jason is -- and i 'll have to just take your word for it -- but i just ca n't see elizabeth bringing her children home to a -- to a criminal , emily . i mean -- emily : look , i 'm not making excuses for my brother , but i just know that he would be so good for elizabeth , nikolas . but i know , okay ? it 's not my decision to make . nikolas : yeah . well , sometimes i wonder if there 's some cosmic principle out there that says that lucky and elizabeth and you and i ca n't all be happy and in love at the same time . emily : oh , god , please , do n't even say that . i would hate to think that our happiness comes at the expense of lucky and elizabeth . nikolas : well , are you happy ? emily : i know that this is where i belong . i do n't doubt our love for a minute . nikolas : you mean the world to me , emily , and i thank god every single day that you took me back . emily : hmm . [ scene_break ] sam : when elizabeth and the boys were threatened , the only thing on my mind was running off the attackers . but i 've been going over and over it in my head , and , lucky , i am certain that they mentioned jason , which is crazy , because i think it makes me just as much of a target as it does elizabeth . lucky : wait , how do you figure ? sam : well , jason and i were closer . i lived together with him for three years , and i just -- look , i -- i 'm starting to worry that whoever threatened elizabeth is going to come after me . so , i need your help . i want to hire a bodyguard . and i would like to hire you . [ scene_break ] spinelli : hey -- um -- could it be that these two men work for , like , a rival of mr. corinthos , sir ? you know , maybe a territorial dispute maybe ? jason : no , they would get leverage on sonny , not me . spinelli : well , does -- wait , does my mentor think that the threats against fair elizabeth and her offspring , including the small stone cold one , are not in fact mob - related ? jason : okay , who -- who stands to benefit if elizabeth is afraid ? who gets to say that they 're right if -- if elizabeth thinks i 'm dangerous ? spinelli : i mean , i guess fair lulu 's brother lucky , but -- i do n't know -- i ca n't imagine that the cautious cop would hire evildoers to threaten his wife . i mean , to me , that sounds like something more that the d.a . of darkness would do . ooh . stone cold , observe , observe . okay , look , this is security footage from a building on the perimeter of the park . jason : okay . spinelli : those two men seem to fit the general description . jason : well , can you get a clearer image ? spinelli : yeah . jason : because i need to find these guys so they can give up ric lansing . [ scene_break ] sonny : correct me if i 'm wrong . you 're the one who showed up at jason 's the night you slept together . elizabeth : you know i did . sonny : and then you decided to go back to lucky . elizabeth : well , yeah . he was trying to quit using drugs . sonny : well , i 'm not making any judgments . i 'm just trying to get the facts straight . so you chose to go back to your husband , could n't let jason go , and you kept reeling him in . and i know that to be true , because i -- he would get calls on his cell phone -- i was right there . and you would meet him at places like the pier , like -- you visited him a lot in prison , right ? elizabeth : yeah -- i just -- i was just -- i was trying to help him . sonny : the way he helped you out ? when your baby was stolen , whatever you asked jason to do , he would do it , no questions asked . now it 's over , and you -- and you ca n't leave him alone . elizabeth : what 's your point , sonny ? sonny : my -- the point i 'm making is , if you and jason have decided to stay apart from each other , you got to let him go .

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

[ scene_break ] karpov : you have misunderstood my gift , mr. corinthos . i sent it as a goodwill gesture to assure you that despite my disappointment , there are no hard feelings . sonny : i 'm glad to hear that . karpov : though i think you would be a tremendous asset , i will be moving forward with my plans without your input . sonny : the best course you could take would be out of port charles . karpov : i have high hopes for my enterprise here . port charles is perfectly situated , a city that has so much to offer without complications and scrutiny that comes with doing business in new york . sonny : yeah , i know a lot of people from the outside who think so . karpov : you refer to the zaccharas . sonny : let me give you a last piece of advice . do not make jason your enemy . i 'm out of this now . i do n't have to have contact with you or any of your people . jerry : well , that was a potentially awkward situation . if sonny knew that i was working with you , that would be very unfortunate . karpov : for him , or for you ? [ scene_break ] spinelli : caution , maximista . thoughtless action is comparable to shining a spotlight on us or hanging out a neon sign that says , `` stakeout in progress . `` maxie : all right , chill , okay ? no one 's come in or out of karpov 's warehouse . spinelli : do you remember nothing from our last stakeout ? maxie : mm - hmm , i remember mind - numbing boredom . spinelli : that is the centerpiece of a private detective 's craft , lying in wait , quiet , coiled like a cheetah on the hunt for unsuspecting prey . maxie : a starving cheetah . i remember the last time we did this we did n't find any prey , unsuspecting or otherwise . spinelli : that is the nature of the work . it requires a person who is a zen- like vessel . you know , capable of maintaining concentration over long stretches of inactivity , so when the moment to act arrives , he is ready . maxie : who sprang into action the last time the cops showed up and were banging on the window ? if i had n't pulled you into that kiss , your cover would have been blown . spinelli : maximista 's ploy was impressive and convincing . the officer thought that we were actually kissing . maxie : we were really kissing . spinelli : i mean with enjoyment . not just as two operatives , professional and detached . maxie : spinelli , i really want to help you , but i do n't see karpov 's lawyer anywhere . spinelli : well , she is elusive . we must show patience and tenacity . i mean , stakeouts can last days , sometimes even weeks . maxie : i know you really want to help jason , but -- spinelli : look , i have to acquire damning evidence against the slavic seductress to unmask her true nature and free stone cold from the spell that she 's cast . maxie : i do n't see jason losing his mind over sasha . i do n't see jason losing his mind over anything . he is pretty self - sufficient . i mean , he runs the mob . he shoots at people . besides some cyber assistance and a really good lawyer , which jason has both of , he does n't need anything else . spinelli : maximista is mistaken . maxie : i 'm just saying , do n't you think our time could be put to better use ? lulu is losing her mind for killing logan . johnny 's taking the blame . those two could use our help a little bit more . [ scene_break ] claudia : lulu kept stringing logan along . it is not your fault that he turned into a psychotic , jealous maniac . and hacked the door down with an axe and came after you . johnny : lulu is haunted by the mistakes she thinks she made when was with logan . she blames herself . claudia : she should blame herself . she 's to blame . johnny : will you stop arguing with everything i say and listen ? claudia : no , i wo n't . you listen to me , john . lulu is to blame . she might as well have stuck the knife in logan herself . johnny : you know , i thought when i brought her to shadybrook , i was doing the right thing . but now it 's just turned out to be a big mistake . like every damn choice i 've made since logan died . claudia : johnny , why do you keep saying it like that ? as if you have some responsibility for lulu 's mental instability ? i talked to her brother . i know that it runs in the family , johnny . so how is it your fault ? [ door opening ] lucky : you know what ? you 're a son of a bitch . claudia : hey , hey ! back off . lucky : while you 're sitting here trying to figure out how you can get off a murder charge and walk away clean , you just pushed my sister over the edge .

[ scene_break ] mac : public humiliation can be a real growth experience . it may take patrick a while to appreciate -- anna : oh , shut up . maybe robin wants this . patrick : so i can kneel here for the rest of the day and i will , but the rest of them have to get back to work . so for the sake of the sick and the injured , just say -- robin : it 's just i do n't know what i -- when i thought about getting married , i did n't think of it happening in this way -- patrick : but it 's happening now , robin . it 's happening , and it can happen for the rest of our life if you just say yes . robin : it 's a beautiful thought , really . it 's just a little -- um , just crowded .

[ laughter ] elizabeth : he just bared his heart in front of all of us . it was one of the most romantic declarations i have ever seen . lainey : one of the most ? kelly : no , do n't ask . you 'll just get depressed . well , we all know how obstinate robin can get , right ? she 's going to dig in her heels and come up with a hundred reasons why she should n't get married instead of following her heart . elizabeth : come on , the man has changed . what else does he have to do to prove it ? lainey : what else can he do ? kelly : clearly , it 's time for us as robin 's friends to step in and take control of the situation and steer her in the direction of her heart .

[ scene_break ] skye : jax ! i thought you were on the other side of the world by now . what happened ? jax : sonny . [ scene_break ] anthony : i understand you 've been clamoring for your husband . ordinarily , that 's an instinct i would applaud . but in this case , you got a little conflict of interest . you want to tell your husband the cop what you overheard in the alley while i was conducting a private meeting with my employee . you want to tell him ... what neither one of you should know . i do n't want that to happen . you see my problem ? they say timing is everything . yours was pretty bad that night . siobhan : what ... what are you going ... anthony : to do with this , you mean ? aw , you 're worried about this ? there 's no need . i 'm not one of those overly dramatic types who has to stab somebody 37 times and literally walk away with blood on his hands . i 'm much more subtle than that , more creative . you and i are just gon na talk for now . and may i digress with a question that 's been puzzling me ? where 's your pride ? siobhan : what ? anthony : well , look at the situation you 're in . all because you got the hots for some junkie cop . let 's be frank . he could n't give two struts for you . siobhan : that 's not true . anthony : sure it is . you come in a distant third , if you keep in mind that drugs will always be number one on detective spencer 's hit parade . siobhan : lucky does n't use . anthony : maybe he did n't . he does now . he was n't on this case a week before he started sampling the product . siobhan : who ... anthony : ok , you got me . maybe we did help him out a little . two of my guys held him down and another injected him with some primo persuasion . quality joy juice . they said it was like watching somebody come home . of course , you know what happens next . now that the urge has been tapped and fulfilled , his every waking thought will be consumed by where his next high comes from . there 's no room in that equation for you . siobhan : he 's worked so hard . anthony : for sobriety . i know . falling off the wagon is so terrible siobhan : do n't set him back . anthony : ohh ... that 's almost touching . such concern for a guy that does n't give a crap . you 'd never know it to look at me , but i 'm a big believer in true love . it warms my heart when it prevails . and i could use a little heartwarming right now . fortunately , you 're in the way . [ scene_break ] jax : when i got to the plane , the pilot was n't there . so i decided to fly myself . sonny got there first and trashed the instrument panel . skye : sonny tried to kill you ? jax : in a plane crash he could n't witness ? no . there 's no fun in that . he wanted to kill me , but i 'm sure he had something much more close up and personal in mind for me . skye : well , obviously you did n't get very far . jax : i tried to jerry - rig the -- the damage that he 'd done , but the police were already on the tarmac and i had no choice but to take off . skye : who do you think tipped off the police ? jax : i do n't know . it does n't really matter . whatever i tried to fix on the plane did n't work , because as soon as i got up in the air , i started losing power . skye : oh , my god , jax . jax : yeah , i just aimed the nose towards the river and i parachuted out just in time . skye : you could have died tonight . jax : yeah . i 'm not the only one . i 'm just thankful that i gave my daughter back to carly . [ scene_break ] sonny : elizabeth ? you know if -- robin : what do you want , sonny ? sonny : i 'm just -- i want to check on jason . robin : he 's been having seizures . sonny : it sounds serious . robin : it could be , yes . sonny : what 's causing the seizures ? robin : we do n't know . we 're gon na be doing some scans and tests and exploratory surgery . sonny : you 're gon na be cutting into his head ? robin : that 's all i 'm comfortable saying right now . sonny : that 's not all i 'm comfortable knowing right now . robin : well , that 's what i told you , and that 's what you 're entitled to know , since you 're not jason 's family . sonny : well , i could argue that point , and i 'm sure jason could argue that point . robin : well , he 's not in a state to be arguing with anyone right now . sonny : how 's your arm ? robin : my arm ? sonny : mm . robin : that 's the least of the damage that you caused the other night . sonny : all right , we should probably talk about what happened . robin : oh , really ? now you want to talk ? now you want to talk after you left , after shooting off a gun in my house ? sonny : i know that you 're upset , right . robin : i 'm very upset . sonny : you have every right to be angry at me . robin : i am angry . i 'm angry at myself for always defending you to everyone . to my husband , especially brenda . sonny : ok , that 's probably a subject we should n't even be discussing right now . robin : well , you wanted to talk . sonny : i do n't want to get into this with you right now . robin : well , i did n't want to come home and have someone shoot a gun off in my house in front of my daughter . sonny : ok , i will pay for whatever damage was done . robin : i 'm talking about the damage to my daughter , to emma . sonny : she 's ok . you 're ok . robin : she 's ok ? i 'm not ok . i am not ok . neither is patrick with any of this . sonny : i wo n't be here long . i just want to see jason . carly : over my dead body .

[ cell phone rings ] [ ring ] lucky : hey . what 's up ? elizabeth : i 've been trying to track you down . it 's about siobhan . lucky : yeah , i already know she 's awake . i 'm on my way . ok .

[ laughs ] yeah , i know you do . beautiful thing , life . you wondering what this is ? this is a little something i got from my doc . that 's one of the perks of my business . i have doctors who work for me so i can avoid sitting in waiting rooms trying to convince some md that i got the right symptoms for the drug i need . all i got ta do is call up my guy , 20 minutes later -- ba - ding ba- doop ba - dap -- i 'm all set . siobhan : the drugs ... anthony : oh . those drugs . the bakery . i 'm just doing a simple turnaround . spreading the wealth . low dosage for street sales is higher bang for the bucks . in fact , this particular solution here , this is genius . tributylchor -- tri -- tri -- tribut -- i can never get the pronunciation right . you notice i have n't opened it all the way . that 's because i need some information from you . i need to know if you told anyone else what you heard in the alley that night . siobhan : no . anthony : no . siobhan : no . anthony : smart girl . usually that discretion would have saved your life . but like i said , i 'm motivated by something more intangible . love . two star- crossed lovers fighting against all odds for the joy of each other 's permanent company . it 's a beautiful thing , destiny . a beautiful thing in an ugly world . so i do what i can to further the cause . and that 's where you come in . not only do you have big nosy ears , but you 're an impediment on the path to true love . and as long as you 're a factor , lucky and elizabeth can not fulfill their destiny . and it just so happens , i 'd really like them to . i like to give back . [ scene_break ] sonny : i do n't want to get into this with you right here . carly : no , no , because you did n't pick the time , place , or the method of attack . sonny : i 'm not attacking anyone . carly : right . so you 're finally here to see how jason 's doing , huh ? sonny : well , i was out of my head at that time . but i knew he was in good hands . carly : just like you always are in his . and you could n't be here the night of the accident because you were too busy playing vigilante , right ? sonny : you know what i was doing . carly : something no one asked you to do . sonny : i was following up . carly : following up ? so is that what you 're doing now ? you decided to take a step out of your demented life and show maybe a little compassion for the one person who 's devoted his entire life to you ? or is this about you ? 'cause , you know , everything is . and you do n't really give a damn about jason . sonny : you know that 's not true . why would you -- carly : what i know , sonny , is that you have to be around someone who wo n't judge you for the unspeakable way you choose to conduct your life . that 's what i know . sonny : could we not do this right here ? robin : why not ? you 're off to a good start , carly . i think that our sentiments about the situation might just be the same for once . i 'm gon na go check on jason 's test results . sonny : ok , i guess we 're gon na get into it right here , so i 'm gon na just say to you , i know you hate me , but my motives were pure . i was just trying to help you . carly : by sabotaging jax 's plane . sonny : so he could n't take off with josslyn . carly : ok , then what ? sonny : you 'd have your daughter back . carly : what about jax , sonny ? what kind of condition would he be in ? sonny : i was gon na play that one by ear . carly : he 's missing . sonny : he should have listened to air control . carly : he 's presumed dead . sonny : presumed . carly : ok , what would have happened if jax did n't give josslyn back ? what if he were with her ? sonny : but he did give her back . carly : not only would you have killed my husband , you 'd kill my little girl . sonny : so now he 's your husband ? since you 're pissed off at me , you want to throw everything you can in my face ? carly : no , what i want is for you to take some responsibility , sonny , maybe have a shred of remorse ? sonny : you know how i operate . carly : i thought you operated with a conscience . sonny : you want to take -- you want to take some respons -- listen to this . you were fine when i helped you get josslyn back from jax . carly : do n't you do that ! do n't you do that . sonny : you were . carly : you did n't get involved to get josslyn back . you got involved because you saw an opportunity to take out jax and you took it -- for brenda . sonny : why does everybody keep bringing her name up to me ? carly : why not bring up her name ? what 's your problem ? because she walked away from you and turned to jax like she always does ? you lost , again . it hurts , does n't it ? sonny : i did n't say it did n't . carly : no , but jax did n't have to die because of it . sonny : well , he should take some responsibility , right ? carly : and he ca n't now , can he ? you lost brenda . but you could damn sure get jax out of the picture , once and for all . so how you feel ? you feel like a big winner ? or the little boy that you are ?

[ sniffs ] you remember fortunato 's ? did n't you used to take connie there ? hey , you mind if i sit down ? sonny : go ahead -- joe . you may not get up again , though . kristina : have you come up with another way to bail out your dad ? trey : no . kristina : okay , then i do n't understand . i mean , first you 're all we had to get married , and -- and now -- trey : i - i just do n't want to take advantage . that 's all . kristina : you 're not . i am clear in what i 'm -- in what i 'm doing . and -- and it 's not like i do n't like you . i do . trey : i like you , too . kristina : [ chuckles ] trey : so , we 're really doing this , huh ? kristina : unless , you -- you know , you changed your mind . you do n't want to and -- trey : no , no , no , no . i - i do . i do . kristina : [ chuckles ] trey : [ chuckles ] this is great . this -- this -- this is gon na help us out so much . kristina : so , i guess we should start planning the wedding . trey : no need for that . all we got to do is hop the plane to vegas . kristina : what ? vegas ? trey : unless you know somewhere else that we can get married tonight . smoke ? sam : i 'm sorry to keep you waiting . mcbain : you 're the one doing me a favor , sam . sam : well , my mother had an associate from the office draw this up . it is a petition to lift the restraining order keeping you away from your son . mcbain : wow . i 'm -- i 'm surprised she remembered given how sick she was . sam : i may have gently reminded her . mcbain : ah . thank you . sam : well , i am the reason you 're in this mess . i 'm certainly gon na do whatever it takes to help you get out of it . lulu : why are you out of bed ? the orderly would n't , uh , leave to buy you cigars , so you 're -- you 're leaving to go buy your own ? luke : now , that would be against hospital rules . this is a non - smoking environment . dante : [ chuckles ] i think lulu 's just concerned that you 're supposed to be recovering from your , uh , gunshot wound . luke : well , i am recovered . or close enough , i guess . they 're sending me home . are you pregnant ? lulu : we thought so , but we were wrong . luke : oh . false alarm . lulu : it 's okay . i mean , we found out about five minutes after we thought it was happening , so -- luke : well , i did n't know , uh , starting a family was on your list of priorities . lulu : it was n't . uh , but -- dante : but it -- it is now . we 're , uh , gon na go for it . lulu : so i guess you should prepare yourself . soon enough , you 're gon na be a grandfather again . carly : she 's still sleeping . johnny : hmm . carly : i 'm gon na wait , you know . you do n't have to stick around . johnny : are you trying to get rid of me ? carly : no . but i know you have work to do , and i can have the hotel send a car . johnny : i 'm not going anywhere . besides , you could probably use an escort with manning lurking around here . carly : [ chuckles ] he 's harmless . well , most of the time . johnny : if he 's bugging you , i can talk to him . carly : no , he 's fine . he 's todd , you know . he came by 'cause he heard josslyn was sick . that 's all . johnny : hmm . carly : oh , and he brought me a mochaccino . he actually brought me a selection of coffee . [ chuckles ] johnny : well , that 's not surprising considering he has a tendency to go overboard . did he say anything to you about me ? todd : kate , will you at least think about it ? 'cause it 'd be great for so many people . kate : you want an alliance with me ? todd : yeah . kate : [ scoffs ] todd : why not ? you 're certifiably wacko . i 'm a little out of my tree . we 're already practically a buddy movie . hey , i 'll be nick nolte . you be eddie murphy . kate : you know what i think , todd ? i think you dropped a little too much of heather webber 's acid . i do n't want any part of your scheme du jour . todd : so you do n't want any part of crimson , i guess , 'cause i 'd put you onboard at manning enterprises . i 'd put you behind the helm of your elegantly shallow fashion magazine . kate : well , you suspended publication . todd : i 'll resuscitate it . kate : you said it did n't make any money . todd : well , i 'm a sucker for lost causes . look at me talking to you . kate : right . which is confusing to me . why not go with , uh , lucy coe ? todd : never heard of her . kate : erica kane . todd : never heard of her . kate : blair cramer . todd : definitely never heard of her . kate : well , they are fabulous magazine publishers , and they did n't rob you of your granddaughter . why would you want to work with someone who caused your family so much pain ? todd : well , maybe you did n't . maybe you 're innocent . michael : it was nice of trey to show up at the hospital last night for kristina , but it does not change the fact that he set her up , okay ? if he 's giving you any trouble -- starr : whoa , whoa , whoa , whoa . let 's not make a bigger deal out of this than it actually is , okay ? michael : okay . okay . sorry . whatever you have to tell me , i 'll -- i 'll stay cool . i promise . starr : you will ? michael : yeah . starr : okay , um -- i was with trey a - a little while ago , and we were talking just the two of us , and he -- he told me something . i - i did n't know whether to , um , to tell you or not -- michael : okay , stop . i know what he did . kristina : tonight ? i ca n't get married tonight . trey : why not ? kristina : well , first of all , among a billion reasons , i do n't have a dress . trey : oh , well , babe , we can get a dress in vegas . kristina : `` get a dress in vegas `` ? no , i want to go shopping for a dress with my mom and my sisters and our wedding planner . i do n't want some cheap off- white polyblend from -- from a casino mall . trey : okay , i get it . there 's no malls , okay ? i promise . we 'll go to a - a cute little boutique in the -- kristina : it 's not even about the dress . all of a sudden , we have to get married immediately ? why ? trey : the production company . they 're -- they 're really pressuring me , okay ? they want a delivery of `` mob princess `` like yesterday . if i do n't deliver the -- the wedding right away -- kristina : well , tell them i am not ready to get married tonight . trey : then i guess my dad 's on his own . sonny : you should n't have taken your freedom for granted . maybe given port charles a chance to breathe . joe jr. : how about we calm down , sonny ? sonny : oh , i 'm so calm , joe . milo : got your lunch right here , boss . you okay , mr. c ? sonny : i 'm all right . just go ahead and -- and check our visitor for weapons . joe jr. : sonny , sonny , sonny . do you really think that i came here to hurt you after all we 've been through ? sonny : [ chuckles ] milo : he 's clean . sonny : thanks . go ahead . sit down . come over here . i want you to call bernie and , uh , and make sure the guards on my kids know that , you know , there 's a -- there could be a problem , all right ? and i want you to personally watch out for kristina . milo : you sure you do n't want me to come back here ? sonny : i got this so , so under control , i ca n't even tell you . milo : okay , boss . [ door closes ] joe jr. : great . now that you made sure we wo n't be interrupted -- sonny : i could end this once and for all , joe . starr : you know what i 'm gon na say ? michael : oh , yeah . i could see the signs . trey came onto you , did n't he ? starr : what ? no , michael , that 's not what i was gon na say . michael : wait , it was n't ? starr : no , trey only has eyes for kristina . but that 's not stopping him from keeping a secret from her . kristina : i want to help your father , but there has to be another way . maybe i can talk to the production company and convince them that the buildup is just as important as the wedding . and , you know , if -- if they give me time to plan it , it will generate more interest . trey : no , you do n't understand . the production company says they 've waited too long , okay ? if i do n't give them 10 episodes of `` mob princess `` plus this -- this wedding , like , right now , they 're gon na take me to court for breach of contract . kristina : do they even care that your father needs the money for his legal defenses ? trey : actually , my father 's been released . they -- the court said that he was being wrongly accused . kristina : well , why did n't you tell me this before ? trey : i just found out this morning . kristina : so , if he 's free , where is he ? sonny : what were you thinking walking in here ? joe jr. : that it was time we had a civilized conversation . sonny : but you 're not civilized . you 're an animal . joe jr. : well , i 've been known to get my hands dirty . so have you . sonny : do n't insult me , joe . joe jr. : grow up , sonny . no man in this business lives a blameless life . so instead of running through a litany of each other 's sins , why do n't we cut to the chase ? sonny : fine by me . joe jr. : [ chuckles ] you 're not gon na kill me . sonny : why , joe ? why would n't i ? joe jr. : well , for one thing , that cop mcbain would be all over you . sonny : how 's he gon na find out ? you would just vanish . nobody would even miss you . trey : i do n't know where my dad is . he said he had to take care of a few things after he got released . kristina : so , if he 's free , why do we need to get married at all ? joe jr. : i lost a lot of money on that reality series that did n't happen , and -- and my store is an inch away from a chapter 11 . so -- so you got to marry this girl . tonight . trey : my dad sunk every last penny he had into defense lawyers and into `` mob princess , `` and the only way i can keep him out of bankruptcy is if we get this money back from this production company . kristina : and they 're not gon na pay you back unless you give them what they want . trey : look , kris , i know you do n't really understand this . your dad 's rich . you never needed money . but my father -- my father worked every single day of his life , and we still did n't have much . and now he could end up with even less . luke : are you sure you want to make me a grandfather ? you know i never miss an opportunity to corrupt young minds . dante : [ chuckles ] i 'll make sure the p.d . knows that you 'll be shaping the lives of the future delinquents . luke : [ chuckles ] well , if a family is what you want -- you have my total support . [ chuckles ] lulu : dad , that really means a lot to me . luke : ooh . careful . lulu : sorry . luke : i 'm still a fragile , old man . lulu : oh . luke : i just need a few good meals and a handful of strong havanas before i 'm ready for a bear hug . [ all chuckle ] dante : uh , while you 're here , i should probably give you an update on heather . luke : yeah , well , as long as she 's locked up at ferncliff , i 'm fine . dante : yeah , she 's not getting out of there anytime soon . but , uh , with anna on leave , i 've been juggling a lot of cases , one being with what happened to alexis and josslyn . luke : that does n't leave you much time to look for heather 's accomplice . kate : i 'm innocent ? how ? because it 's connie 's fault those kids are dead ? she 's still a part of me . todd : you see , this is what i do n't understand . because what little i know about d.i.d . completely contradicts what you 're telling me happened to you . kate : i 'm not gon na talk about my integration with you , todd . todd : integration . great . so , you remember shooting out anthony zacchara 's tires . kate : i have almost recovered the memory of the night . i 'm working on it with my psychiatrist . todd : okay , well , if your psychiatrist is telling you that you 're responsible for two deaths that you do n't even remember causing , you need to fire that quack and hire yourself another shrink . carly : of course todd was talking trash about you . you guys hate each other . johnny : and what exactly was he saying about me this time ? carly : who cares ? do n't even worry about it . johnny : i am worried . i 'm worried about him getting to you . carly : me ? johnny : yeah . carly : todd ? [ chuckles ] we 're kind of friends , but when we talk about any other subject , he seems kind of smart . he has this weird grudge against you . i think it has something to do with starr . johnny : starr ? carly : well , yeah . he 's her dad , and he wants to be her hero , and i think you 've kind of stepped into that . whatever . it does n't matter . i mean , it 's petty and it 's childish , but the kindest thing you can do for todd is just ignore him , because that is exactly what i do . johnny : oh , and what exactly did he say to you that you were trying to ignore him ? carly : it does n't matter . johnny : humor me . please . carly : okay . todd tried pinning something horrible on you . todd : does n't it bother you that after all the therapy , all the tearful confessions , all the talking that you do n't remember the worst and therefore most memorable thing that connie ever did ? kate : what are you saying , todd ? are you saying that connie still exists ? todd : oh , connie absolutely exists . i know it . mcbain : [ chuckles ] you know , all that time , i - i , uh , i spent away from natalie and liam , you know , the train wreck i made of my life , i thought `` at least i 'm bringing a killer to justice . `` in the end -- i got nothing . you know what i do at night ? i sit in the dark in a strange hotel room in a strange city , and i stare at a photo of my little boy . sam : it 's not fair . natalie 's using liam against you , and you ca n't even explain yourself . mcbain : i was gon na tell her . you know that ? i was gon na tell her . you know why i did n't ? what was i gon na say ? hmm ? that it was an accident ? that i did n't mean to kiss you ? i did mean it . it was all i could do to pull away . sam : come on , we were both in a bad place . mcbain : so why did n't i say that to natalie when i first got home ? why did n't i pull her aside and i say , `` hey , sweetheart , you know , i did something . i -- i kissed someone else , but it did n't mean anything . `` sam : maybe you should have said that . mcbain : i could have , but it would have been a lie , too . it did mean something to me , sam . dante : do you remember anything else about the man who came into the shack ? luke : no , just what i 've told you . he was wearing a hockey mask , carrying a machete , and split open a pineapple . lulu : that 's a fun detail . luke : it was kind of tropical , you know . dante : but you -- you said you thought he might have a daughter . luke : well , i ca n't be sure . it was just a hunch because when i mentioned lulu in an effort to try and negotiate freedom , it seemed to affect him . dante : anything else ? luke : yeah . his shoes . italian leather . expensive . johnny : what exactly did todd try to pin on me this time ? carly : it was one ridiculous story after another . first he tried telling me it was your fault that josslyn got injected because you were distracting me . johnny : wow . talk about empty accusations . carly : todd just likes making up stories to blame you . the more he bad - mouths you , the more committed i am , okay ? nothing todd says is gon na change that . kate : mr. manning , by all means , please explain to me how you know what 's going on in my head better than i do . todd : okay . kate : please do . todd : integration , by definition , means that you and your alters become one . that means all of their memories become your memories . it does n't make any sense to me at all that there 'd be one or two memories out there that have n't resurfaced . kate : oh , connie 's still here . todd : why do n't you remember causing the accident ? why would your subconscious keep something like that from you ? more to the point , why would connie keep something like that from you ? kate : why do n't you tell me ? todd : psssh . wow . i - i - i have no idea . i do n't know . maybe -- maybe you did n't do it . or maybe connie does n't want you to know because she 's got some other secret . i do n't -- seriously , you never discussed any of this with your shrink ? kate : no . why would i ? she confessed . todd : yeah . that 's another thing . connie , an alter , who deliberately set out to ruin your entire life , confesses to something so atrocious and you just believe her . kate : all right . fine , todd . if she did n't do it , who did ? starr : trey told me in confidence , but kristina 's your sister , and i do n't want her to get hurt -- michael : starr , i need to know . starr : okay . trey told me that his dad is in jail . michael : prison ? w - wait , is he convicted or is he in lockup awaiting trial ? starr : awaiting trial . but in all fairness , trey did tell kristina about that part . michael : wait , there 's more ? starr : it has to do with your dad . apparently trey 's father and your father have history . kristina : i want to help you , but i just ca n't get married tonight . my mother is still in the hospital , and if she finds out , it could -- trey : we 'll be home tomorrow before your mom even gets home . kristina : i thought i would have some time to work on my parents and ease them into this idea so they would n't want to kill you . trey : you know your parents would never let you marry me . kristina : well , it 's -- it 's not up to them . trey : right . think about it . if they knew what we were doing , kris , they 'd try to stop us , right ? your mom would probably show up with , uh , some sort of court order . your dad would roll up with his thugs . am i wrong ? kristina : no . trey : look , kris -- your mom and dad can not know anything about this wedding until it 's a done deal . joe jr. : since my old man cut me loose , i 've been an outcast . no one 's gon na come looking for me . no one 's gon na even care that i 'm gone , much less avenge me . so go ahead . you 're free to get your satisfaction for yourself and connie . sonny : her name 's -- her name 's kate , joe . joe jr. : well , she was connie when she set this all in motion . sonny : when -- when you raped her . joe jr. : see , i could see where you need to believe that . but i was there . i know what happened . sonny : shut your mouth , joe ! or i 'll forget my intentions and blow your head off right now ! you hear what i 'm saying ? ! joe jr. : if you 're gon na kill me anyway -- sonny : what ? ! joe jr. : -- then why the hell should i die telling you what you want to hear ? ! do it ! sonny : i 'm not gon na kill you today , joe . for kate 's sake . joe jr. : oh . she asked you not to kill me ? sonny : too much violence . too much death . she does n't want blood on my hands , so lucky you . you live today . joe jr. : well , i 'll just make sure i thank her for that . sonny : but i tell you what , you come near her again , and you will suffer like you deserve . joe jr. : you say you want the violence to end . sonny : [ sniffs ] joe jr. : so do i . why do n't we put the past in the past , find a way to coexist ? sonny : why would i do that when you threatened my kids , joe ? joe jr. : i never did any such thing . sonny : you said their names to me , and then you asked me how i would feel if something happened to them . that , to me , is a threat ! joe jr. : no , you misunderstood . i 'm not going after your family . i love kids . even though connie killed the only one that i ever had . kristina : i 'm getting married . i have to tell my parents at some point . trey : okay , before the show even airs , we 'll have this thing annulled , that way our wedding does n't interfere with sonny and kate 's . kristina : does n't the production company want my family there ? otherwise , where is the drama ? trey : okay , what about this ? forbidden love , hmm ? kristina : forbidden ? how ? my parents are n't wildly enthusiastic about you , but it 's not like , you know , you 're a zacchara or from a rival family or anything . trey : oh , but hey , okay . that 's -- that -- that 's great . what if -- what if i play that up ? what if i say i am from a mob family ? hmm ? think about it . we , um , we are children of mortal enemies deeply in love . kristina : like romeo and juliet ? trey : there 's a reason it 's a classic . we want our relationship to be seen by the world , but if it gets out before we seal the deal , a war would erupt . oh , yeah , i 'm telling you , the only way for the mob princess to survive is to run away with her mob prince . kristina : [ laughs ] yeah , he won the batting title way back in ' 35 . michael : okay , did trey tell you what the connection was between his father and mine ? starr : just that they have history . michael : well , obviously not good , or he would n't be trying to keep it a secret . starr : okay , all i know is that trey is really stressed about this . he wants to be straight with kristina and he swears that he did n't know about this conflict before . and he 's worried that if he tells kristina that she 's not going to believe him and -- michael : do you believe him ? starr : i believe that he cares about kristina and that he 's not ready to -- to lose her . michael : no , or he wants something from her and he 's not gon na get it if she knows the truth . starr : okay , michael , that 's a little -- michael : paranoid ? he could have known this whole time that his dad and my dad are enemies . starr : enemies ? that 's going a little -- michael , what are you doing ? michael : my dad needs to know about this .

! derek : a woman like you is , um , wasted on someone as un - evolved as sonny . connie : he 's not a caveman . derek : close enough . sonny should find someone more his speed ... and spend his time with her . olivia : i can not believe that my little baby who was afraid of slugs and centipedes -- dante : whoa , whoa , whoa ... lulu : wait , he was ? ! dante : i was n't afraid of them . i was n't afraid of them . i was a little bit cautious . it was a long time ago . luke : little bit cautious with centipedes . olivia : well , no , no . i 'm serious . i ca n't imagine having to watch my friend get cut open and not only be praying for the safety of the baby but the safety of my friend . dante : well , it was , uh -- it was nerve - wracking , but , honestly , like lulu said , we did n't see much of it . and spinelli was in the viewing room with me . sonny : spinelli ? what was he doing in the o.r . ? dante : he was worried about maxie . and , to be honest , i was grateful . when you -- when you 're looking at your baby that you love and her life is at stake , you take support wherever you can get it . maxie : the baby 's okay , is n't she ? did you see -- i got to cut the cord ? georgie : i saw . maxie : so surreal . after all these months , i was letting her go . literally . maybe it 's time to just let me go , too . georgie : you ca n't believe that . maxie : why not ? my daughter 's taken care of . she 's safe with two parents who will absolutely adore her , and if i die , my secret will just go with me . georgie : it wo n't . maxie : what do you mean ? georgie : come with me . i 'll show you . felicia : i wish we 'd hear something about maxie . mac : hey , i 'm sure stitching her up takes time . felicia : i know , but so much time ?

mac : you got it . sam : thank you . spinelli : ellie , i have the utmost faith in you , but how could you possibly know what maxie was gon na tell me ? you were n't there . ellie : no . no , i know i was n't there . but ... damian , i know something . it 's something big , and it has to do with maxie . georgie : you see ? you 're not the only one keeping this secret . if you died , the truth can still come out . spinelli : you care to elaborate ? maxie : no ! she does n't . georgie : maxie , you ca n't stop her . she 's about to have the courage to do something you have n't . spinelli : ellie ? maxie : damn it , ellie ! you stay out of this , if not for me , than for you ! you will lose him . georgie : maybe she 's willing to take that risk . maxie : make her stop . georgie : i ca n't stop her , and neither can you . but maybe , if you were n't in that o.r . room giving up ... spinelli : ellie , you 're scaring me . what 's going on ? ellie : maxie 's been lying to you ... about the baby . michael : wait , aj was drinking ? elizabeth : at the floating rib . michael : how much ? how much did he have ? elizabeth : a lot . i tried to stop him , but i could n't . michael : what you just -- you just left him there ? elizabeth : i took his keys so he would n't hurt anyone else . michael : you could have called me or something . i would have -- i would have picked him up . elizabeth : i know . and ... [ sighs ] i 'm sorry . i just was n't thinking clearly . things got really heated between the two of us . your dad said some things he should n't have . michael : like what ? elizabeth : things about jake . bottom line -- aj went too far , and so i left . michael : elizabeth , i 'm sorry . elizabeth : it 's not your fault . michael : look , whatever aj said , i 'm sure he did n't mean it . elizabeth : i hope to god that 's true . aj : michael , why are you saying that ? michael : well , because you need to hear it . aj : huh ? michael : you need to know you had your chance , and you blew it . aj : what chance ? michael : with me . i mean , you promised me everything i never had , you know ? a relationship with my real father , a - a place in the family where i came from . aj : you -- you have that . michael : yeah , right , i do . like i want any part of this . look , just face it , aj all your dreams went to hell , okay ? just like everything else you touch . aj : no . michael : i - i - i do n't want anything to do with you . aj : wait , you do n't mean that . michael , whatever happened , we can get past it . you 're my son . sonny : actually , he 's my son . michael : see , yeah , that 's -- that 's my father , okay ? not you . you 'll never be anything to me . michael : uh , hi . i 'm , uh -- i 'm calling about a customer tonight . he might -- he might still be there . his name 's aj quartermaine . he got a cab ? when ? okay , do you have any idea where it took him ? aj : you get out of here . you 're not welcome here . sonny : no , i think i 'm gon na just stick around . aj : michael , michael , get away from him ! michael : what ? you mean my real father ? sonny : [ chuckles ] michael : the one raise me , the one who took care of me while you were off hiding like some coward ? aj : you 're not his son . sonny : i could have sworn that you signed over your parental rights . aj : you hung on a meat hook ! sonny : yeah , yeah ... aj : yeah . he threatened to kill me , michael . do you know what he said to me ? you know what he -- he said he 'd make it look like i died in a car crash . sonny : like the drunk you are . aj : and what are you , huh ? a scum - of - the - earth mobster , makes your money off guns and whores ? [ spits ] michael : well , you know what , aj ? at least he makes money . i mean , you , on the other hand , ca n't even hold down a job , let alone the family business . sonny : you 're lucky that your mommy lets you live here . michael : [ chuckles ] aj : michael , i 'm gon na get it back -- elq . i 'm gon na -- i 'm gon na get it back . it 's just i lost those votes . if i had n't lost -- connie : but you did . you 're welcome . connie : you created this mess . you 're gon na fix it . derek : mm , i do n't know . i make it a point not to get involved in my employees ' personal lives . connie : too late , derek . i need you to tell sonny that i tried to pull the article . derek : you already did this , am i wrong ? connie : i did , but let 's just say it would help if you chimed in . derek : eh , these coffee - importer types -- temperamental is putting it mildly . now , saying the wrong thing could get me brewed . connie : oh . is this fear from the great derek wells ? derek : well , your story did bring up circulation , and i suppose one good turn deserves another . connie : [ sighs ] thank you . derek : where can i find this , um , mr. corinthos ? connie : he 's at the hospital . his granddaughter 's being born . olivia : god , i can not wait to get my hands on those precious little cheeks . sonny : she really is cute . olivia : [ sighs ] the universe really works in some strange and mysterious ways , huh ? you know , if you would have told my gum - snapping , stoop - sitting self that you and me would be here with a grandchild between us ... sonny : you 'd have popped me . olivia : yeah , i probably would have . sonny : [ chuckles ] olivia : but i 'm so damn glad that we are and that we do . sonny : yeah . me , too . olivia : and i think that , uh , there 's someone else that would probably really be interested in hearing this news . you and connie -- you got a lot to talk about . dante : glad you made it . luke : yeah . so am i . dante : this one here did n't think you were . lulu : not true . i had complete faith in my father . dante : oh . lulu : okay , fine . i was a little worried . you cut it close . laura : well , he 's here , so there 's no harm done , right ? lulu : did mom tell you the drama ? we thought you were sick and that tracy was covering for you . luke : well , i hope you went easy on her . lulu : on tracy ? um , she took it like a champ . where were you ? luke : i was with holly . lulu : oh , you saw robert . luke : mm . lulu : how is he ? luke : no better . no worse . lulu : i 'm so sorry . i know he 's your best friend . i would n't wish the pain of losing a loved one on anyone . luke : well ... spinelli : if you 're talking about the miscarriage and what happened after , i 'm not sure there 's anything left to say about that . yeah , it 's true . she did n't tell me herself , but ... i know that she got pregnant again by implanting one of dante and lulu 's other embryos . ellie : right , i - i know . damian , that 's not exactly what happened . spinelli : well , then , what did ? maxie : oh , this is it . it 's over ! [ cell phone rings ] ellie : it 's brad . the dna tests from danny 's donor drive are in . spinelli : well , is there a match ? ellie : i do n't know . i ' have to examine the results . but , damian , i would really like to finish this conversation . spinelli : okay , we will . um , danny takes precedence , though . just find me when you 're through , okay ? ellie : okay . georgie : another bullet dodged . maxie : or maybe the universe wants the truth to stay hidden . maybe i 'm supposed to die . georgie : you 're supposed to destroy spinelli ? maxie : spinelli will survive . georgie : okay . and what about them ? dante : thank you for coming , ma . olivia : what ? are you crazy ? i would n't have missed this for the world . sonny : um ... you know , it 's not easy being a father . but i got to tell you , it 's ... the greatest thing you 'll ever do . dante : thanks . lulu : what ? you 're leaving so soon ? laura : i want to find scotty and tell him the good news . luke : stop worrying so much . i 'll be back soon . lulu : well , i will stop worrying when you stop smoking that junk . luke : when did you turn into the health police ? lulu : since i want you around for me and your granddaughter for a long , long time . luke : [ sighs ] felicia : mac , something 's wrong . why is n't maxie in recovery yet ? and why has n't anybody told us anything ? mac : hey . come here . sit down . mac : do n't forget -- a c - section is major abdominal surgery . okay ? she 's fine . georgie : it 's their wedding day . on top of that , you gave birth . mom and mac should be overjoyed . but instead , look at them . they 're worried sick . maxie : it 's not my fault something went wrong . georgie : it is your fault if you decide to give up . maxie , they love you ! what do you think it would do to them if they lost you ? maxie : they 'll survive . they have each other . and they would have one less screw - up to look after . georgie : that is not how they see you , and you know it . just listen . felicia : mac , do you think that maxie ... mac : hey , hey , hey . nothing is gon na happen to our girl . felicia : mac , i seriously do n't think that i could handle that . [ voice breaking ] after georgie , i ca n't lose maxie again . [ crying ] i ca n't . [ sniffles ] mac : you wo n't . you wo n't , okay ? if something happened , and we do n't know that it has , maxie has been a fighter her whole life . that 's not gon na stop now . dante : hey . spinelli : uh , hey . i must have taken a wrong turn . lulu : oh , you were n't looking for us ? spinelli : uh ... maxie . lulu : she is in recovery . spinelli : actually ... she is n't . i just checked . lulu : that 's strange . dante : well , no . maybe they moved her to a room . maybe you just missed her . spinelli : right . uh , yeah , i 'll -- i 'll go inquire at the desk . dante : hey . uh , you have a second ? you want to meet our daughter ? spinelli : [ chuckles ] olivia : you 're not getting through to connie ? sonny : no . i ... olivia : she 's probably at the office . sonny : [ sighs ] i was calling michael . you know , i wanted to let him know that he 's an uncle . he 's not picking up . michael : thank you . the cab just dropped him off at the house . i must have just missed him . elizabeth : so , are you going back ? michael : yeah . i do n't want to leave him alone tonight , you know ? elizabeth : michael , i 'm really sorry . michael : why ? elizabeth : i should have stayed with him . michael : [ sighs ] he 's an adult . you know , he should be able to take care of himself . elizabeth : but obviously , he ca n't , and i left him . michael : [ chuckles ] look , you had every right after he brought up jake . look , this is n't an excuse or anything , but he 's -- he 's really going through a hard time . elizabeth : i know . michael : and he cares about you . he does . and ... when he wakes up tomorrow , i know he 's gon na be kicking himself for what he said . i just -- i hope you give him a chance to make it up to you . [ sighs ] well , i got to go . connie : you know , i got to tell you , you really saved my bacon , aj if you had n't botched your shot at resurrecting your family 's business , then my business would have gone under . so thank you . aj : this is all your fault . connie : oh , please , please . hold your applause . aj : if you had n't run that article , then none of this would have happened . sonny : not today , but it would have happened eventually . michael : yeah , my dad 's right . you would have failed eventually , because it 's just -- it 's what you do . connie : you 're just not meant for life 's greater challenges . no biggie . aj : what is that supposed to mean ? connie : shake it off . go play a round of croquet or something . aj : i had everything . you took it away from me -- everything ! connie : okay . so pay me back . oh , wait . you already did that . epic fail . michael : [ chuckles ] sonny : [ chuckles ] aj : i can still make you pay . connie : all right , aj give it your best shot . that 's what i thought . aj quartermaine -- the spineless wonder . [ sighs ] come on , boys . why do n't we get out of here and go get us some ice cream , huh ? just one big happy family . what do you say ? ciao . derek : ms. falconeri . olivia : what do you want ? derek : i just came from seeing your cousin . sonny : who 's this ? olivia : derek wells . connie 's boss . derek : oh , you must be sonny . i 've seen your picture around the office and in the newspaper . in any case , it 's , uh -- it 's good luck i ran into you . i understand the elq piece caused some , um , tension at home . i would just like you to know that it was my call to publish the story . connie asked me not to do it . she , uh , practically got down on her knees and begged . i would n't budge . you know , if i were you , uh , i 'd hold on to that one . never let go of a woman who would do anything for you . sam : ellie . ellie . do you have any word on the last run of dna testing ? ellie : i should really let the doctor deliver that news . alexis : ellie , please . we really need an answer . ellie : yes . sam : yes ? ellie : there 's match . sam : oh ! alexis : oh , thank god ! yes ! sam : can you believe it ? mom . alexis : i think i can . sam : i think so . derek : oh , good news , i hope . alexis : uh , we 've found a donor match . derek : what ? you 're kidding me . that 's amazing ! well , how soon can they -- can they schedule the transplant ? alexis : that depends on you . sam : you , yeah . derek : uh , i do n't follow . how does scheduling a surgery depend on me ? alexis : because you 're the match . connie : why is derek so interested in sonny 's business ? michael : aj , you here ? derek : ava , it 's julian . call me . we need to talk . sonny : there was a mob family in the ' 80s who pretty much ran port charles , and they were called the jeromes . connie : what ? i - i -- why have n't i heard of them ? sonny : the father was named victor jerome . he 's dead . so are two of his kids -- olivia and julian . connie : julian . there was a son named julian . and he 's calling ava . i know what i heard , julian . sonny needs to hear it , too . [ gasps ] luke : i 'm not sure how much longer i can stick around . i 've got to get back on the trail of that cure , so if i disappear without any goodbyes ... laura : yeah . i will try to run some interference for you with lulu , but you know how she is . luke : she 's like her mother . laura : oh , i think she 's a bit like her dad , too . luke : [ chuckles ] laura : [ chuckles ] listen , luke , please -- please travel safely , and if you need anything at all , do n't hesitate to call me . luke : and do n't you be jumping out of any airplanes on my behalf . [ smooches ] laura : i wo n't . luke : take care of yourself . laura : you , too . spinelli : i - i am at a loss for words . dante : well , there 's a first for everything , right ? spinelli : she is so beautiful . and i - i - i know it 's not genetically possible , but if i might be so bold , she bears a slight resemblance to maxie . lulu : well , she 's got plenty of maxie in her . georgie : and spinelli , too . spinelli : you know , speaking of maxie , i should -- i should really go find her , so ... lulu : okay . can you let her know that we will come see her soon , okay ? spinelli : yeah . [ sighs , sniffles ] uh , congratulations , guys . wow . dante : thanks , spinelli . all right . this is ridiculous . we have to come up with a name for this little munchkin . lulu : what do you think of jackalyn ? olivia : you know , that wells guy just rubs me the wrong way . sonny : yeah , there 's something -- i do n't know -- wrong with him . olivia : i mean , he says all the right things , but i - i ... sonny : there 's something about him that gives me the creeps . olivia : oh , god . sonny : what ? olivia : it 's the damn puppy again . spinelli : hey . ellie : hey . spinelli : did you -- did you see the baby ? ellie : [ chuckles ] yeah . she 's gorgeous . spinelli : those eyes -- wise beyond her years ... [ chuckles ] or minutes , as it were . ellie : damian ... spinelli : what 's wrong ? ellie : it 's time we finish our conversation . maxie : what are you trying to do to me ? georgie : [ voice breaking ] show you what you 'll be missing -- mom and mac , spinelli , your daughter . maxie , please do n't leave them . please . maxie : [ sighs ] [ sniffles ] georgie : [ smooches ] [ smooches ] felicia : did you feel that ? [ door opens ] felicia : oh , god . mac : how 's maxie ? ellie : it 's about the baby . spinelli : yeah . i - i gathered that much , but i - i fail to see how dante and lulu 's baby has anything to do with me . ellie : that 's just it , damian . that little girl is n't dante and lulu 's daughter . she 's yours .
mac quips about the irony of sonny corinthos being a grandfather . sonny , olivia , luke , and laura go to look at their new granddaughter through the nicu window . olivia says it is wonderful to see that her granddaughter is not a dog . she retells her vision to a confused laura . luke tells laura that he is leaving to resume his quest for a cure and asks her to run interference with lulu while he is gone . maxie sees herself on the table from outside of her body and realizes that she must be dying . she sees her sister , georgie , wearing scrubs . georgie tells maxie that she has to fight . maxie says that if she dies , no one will ever have to know that dante and lulu 's baby is n't really theirs . georgie reminds her that other people , specifically ellie , know the truth . she asks what she thinks her death would do to her newlywed parents as felicia and mac wonder why maxie is n't in recovery yet . georgie takes maxie to the nicu where dante and lulu are letting spinelli hold the baby . georgie tells maxie not to leave all the people who love her . she kisses mac and felicia before disappearing .
sabrina : it does n't make any sense . like , if somebody really wanted us to get hurt , then why would they send a teenage boy to do it ? patrick : look , there 's a chance that rafe was lying to molly , trying to shift the blame , which is why i want sam to check it out . she 's the one that discovered that he ran us off the road . she was close to rafe . she was his guardian at one pot . she cared about the kid . she wants to find out what happened just as much as we do . sabrina : okay , so she 's gon na investigate , then ? patrick : yes . i talked to her this morning . she said she 's on the case . sam : oh , come on , rafe . who made you do this ? rosalie : will you please calm down , okay ? and will you please get back in your wheelchair ? if somebody comes in here , they 're gon na put an end to all your plans . nina : calm down ? you want me to calm down ? seriously ? silas is alone with that bimbo sam in our apartment -- the home that i share with him . and on top of everything else , ava jerome is knocked up ! again . julian : [ sighs ] ava : is someone here ? i thought i heard voices . julian : uh , jordan stopped by . i needed to clear a few things up with her . sorry if i woke you . ava : no , no fear of that . i was up all night . julian : oh , the baby ? ava : no . our boss . he wants me to kill michael corinthos . kiki : david otunga and jennifer hudson buy alice these gorgeous flowers , and she 's not even gon na be able to enjoy them . michael : well , doctor 's orders . they ca n't risk infection . kiki : yeah , well , it 's a shame , 'cause they 're gon na go to waste . franco : oh , no . that is a shame . those flowers ca n't go to waste . can i give them to carly ? michael : flowers ? what did you do to my mom this time ? sonny : oh , this is a nice surprise . what brings you here ? carly : i told you we need to talk . sonny : well , if all you wanted was a conversation , you would have called . but here you are , not that i 'm complaining , 'cause ... i figured you 'd come by eventually , so ... yeah . carly : you smug son of a bitch ! who the hell do you think you are ? ! sam : oh , rafe ... silas : he kept our picture on his phone . sam : i think we were the closest thing to parents as he had . silas : [ sniffles ] i 'm telling you , sam , if someone got to this kid , if someone pressured him into hurting people ... we got to figure out who did this . sam : yeah , yeah , we do . okay . we 've got to start with going through his call log first . silas : okay , good . sam : um ... okay , there 's the obvious -- you , here 's my number , molly occasionally -- wait , wait . wait a minute . okay . i do n't -- i do n't recognize this number , and it 's on here , like , a couple times a week . silas : is there a name ? sam : no . it 's listed under `` d. `` silas : maybe his dealer . sam : maybe his dealer . yeah . i - i - i could send it over to the police . maybe they can track the number . silas : okay , you think maybe his dealer is the one that was pressuring him to go after patrick 's car ? sam : i do n't know . i do n't know . i ca n't speculate . i mean , if -- if the accident -- if we 're calling it an accident -- if it happened a few weeks ago or months ago -- it was , what , in april , then ... oh , wait a minute . i think i 've got something . rosalie : okay , i did n't know that sam was in your apartment with silas , but the ava thing is old news . nina : franco just let it blithely slip out when we were in the elevator . rosalie : you were trapped in the elevator , yeah . nina : as if -- as if it did n't bother me , as if it meant nothing to me , as if it was n't a dagger in my heart that bled of injustice . rosalie : o - okay . reality check . ava 's pregnant . so what ? people get pregnant all the time . nina : i did n't get pregnant all the time . not me . i 'm not pregnant . i do n't have a baby . actually , i did have a baby . i lost my baby . i do n't even know if it was a boy or a girl . because of my mom . that baby was supposed to rip silas out of ava 's arms and back into my arms . this is n't fair . she 's has two babies . i do n't have one . rosalie : what am i missing here ? unless -- is it silas ' ? was he doing ava and sam at the same time ? is silas the father ? nina : you 're such an idiot . no . no , silas is not the father of ava 's baby . rosalie : okay , well , then why all the hysteria ? nina : there 's no hysteria ! do n't you understand ? ava -- ava has a daughter , and now she has another baby . me -- i do n't have any -- no babies . do you get it ? rosalie : who knocked her up , then ? nina : oh , oh . this might be something you 'll be able to understand . [ chuckles ] ava does n't even know who the father is . julian : he ordered you to kill sonny 's son -- his namesake , corinthos the third ? ava : yeah . julian : well , now i get it . ava : get what ? julian : [ sighs ] well , i had the pleasure of starting off my day with a chat with our fearless leader . he said something about trouble heading sonny 's way and that you were gon na bring it . we got interrupted by jordan , so i never did get the details . ava : well , now you know . julian : so , he wants you to hurt sonny by taking out his kid , huh ? ava : no . he actually just wants to hurt michael . michael ruined luke 's plan to take over elq . tracy infiltrated the company . apparently , michael got wise to her , and he fired her , and now luke is annoyed , and so , naturally , he wants me to kill him . which is something i can not possibly do . julian : why not ? ava : because of kiki . franco : a man ca n't give a woman flowers if he loves her ? michael : well , you know , since the flowers were originally intended for somebody else and you did n't buy them , that 's not really much of a gift , now is it ? not that my mom actually , uh , needs anything from you . kiki : michael , why do n't we give franco a break ? franco : yeah . i did n't do anything wrong to your mother . not this time . in fact , if anyone did anything wrong , it was your father . sonny : is it safe to put this back , or you want to play catch ? carly : you are so cocky , you know that ? as if i 'm here because i ca n't resist you . i 've been resisting you for years , sonny . sonny : if you wanted me all these years , you should have just said something . carly : stop doing that . stop twisting my words , okay ? i mean here because i do n't want you , and i 'm here to tell you that in the bright light of day that what happened last night will never happen again . sonny : really ? well , you did a good job of telling me that already , in the dark of night . if you wanted to tell me again , then you would have picked up the phone , right ? all you got to do is pick it up . pick up the phone . so , why are you really here ? nina : ava not only slept with the most notorious gangster in this godforsaken town , but she was also having sex with his son . rosalie : she 's tapping two generations at one time ? nina : yeah , classy , is n't she ? rosalie : [ chuckles ] so , now the father and the son are , like , paternity brothers ? nina : if what you mean is she does n't know who fathered her baby , yes . rosalie : oh , my god . nina : i know . she 's crazy . she 's depraved . rosalie : no , no , no . that 's not why i 'm shocked . nina : why are you shocked ? rosalie : i think i know one of the possible baby daddies . michael : have you talked to franco recently ? morgan : no , not if i can help it , why ? michael : well , uh , he 's dissing dad , saying that he did something to mom . morgan : huh . well , i know this is gon na be hard for you to grasp , but dad 's no saint . i mean , he 's actually been known to mess with the people that he claims to love , so ... michael : i know . i know dad 's not perfect , but am i really supposed to take franco 's word on anything he says ? morgan : well , no , i would n't go that far , but what did dad supposedly do to mom ? franco : well , the lech put his hands all over carly . that 's what he did . carly : franco almost caught us last night . he walked in and he saw the two wine glasses and he knew exactly what happened . sonny , luckily , you slipped out in time and my mom -- she showed up and she said the wine glass was hers . sonny : i always knew bobbie liked me , even from the beginning . carly : no ! she knows you 're trouble . hell , sonny , she 's had a front - row seat at the slow - motion train wreck that was our relationship . sonny : front - row seats to a train wreck does n't sound right . carly : you know what i 'm talking about , okay ? sonny : what ? carly : my mom knows that you and me -- we equal disaster . sonny : all right . carly : yeah , and that the stupidest , horrible thing i could have done was sleeping with you last night in the way i did , all right ? sonny : where does franco rank in your mother 's scale of disaster ? carly : i 'm not talking about franco or my mom with you . sonny : well , you brought it up . carly : sonny , listen to me . if franco finds out about us , he 's gon na go straight to michael and tell him that you killed aj . is that what you want ? sonny : no . carly : okay , then we understand each other here . sonny : mm - hmm . we just got to be a little more careful next time . sam : this call came in the day of the accident . silas : no caller i.d . sam : no . and it lasted 20 minutes long . silas : okay . that 's about an hour before rafe got in my car and he ran patrick and his family off the road . sam : [ sighs ] yes , but rafe has , like , half a dozen unidentified calls days leading up the accident . silas : okay , all right . listen , is there any way of figuring out that 's the same person ? maybe they were the one that was pressuring him . sam : that 's a good theory , but there 's no way to prove it . silas : well , is there some way that you can call them back ? sam : no . there 's no number . it 's just a record of the calls . i - i - i do n't know . i do n't know what to do . i mean , do you have any idea who is ? silas : you would know better than i if drake or nurse santiago had any enemies . as far as who would be pressuring rafe to do something like this , i ... sam : i do n't know . maybe was the drug dealer or the person who gave him the money . silas : okay , is there some way of proving it ? is there any way of tracing any of these calls ? sabrina : i , um -- i want to help you pay for sam 's expenses . you know , you 're -- you 're not working anymore , and i 'm going back to a full schedule , so ... patrick : it 's fine . it 's not about that . it 's not about the money . believe me , this is on sam . she 's not letting me pay her . she 's fought me every time i 've tried . sabrina : really ? wow . that 's really nice of her . patrick : yep . sabrina : sam 's a really good friend to you , is n't she ? patrick : yes . yeah , she 's been a very good friend . sabrina : good . patrick : and i have n't returned the favor . sabrina : are you forgetting how well i know you , patrick ? you 've always been a very loyal friend . how can you say you 've been anything but good to sam ? patrick : let 's just say that i 'm not the good , loyal friend that you and sam believe me to be . sabrina : how could you even say that ? where 's this coming from ? patrick : i 'm sorry . just forget that i said anything about it . sabrina : patrick , there 's nothing you ca n't tell me . we buried a child together . we 've been to hell and back . patrick : i ca n't talk to you about this . i 'm sorry . sabrina : look , i can understand you wanting to protect me . i certainly gave you cause when gabriel died . but i 've recovered . you know , whatever it is , i can take it , and ... i - i 'd like to help you if i can , even if it 's just to listen . patrick : i have n't been able to share this with anyone . sabrina : whatever you tell me , it 'll stay between us . patrick : it has to . sabrina , you ca n't say anything to anyone . sabrina : i promise . patrick : when robin left , she did n't go to africa to help aids patients . she went to go help jason -- sam 's husband . sam : you know , there really is n't any way to trace unknown calls . silas : all this screaming about the nsa ? i guarantee there 's a backdoor into those communications . sam : [ sighs ] you know , i can -- i can call spinelli . it 's a long shot . silas : so , what are you saying ? this is a dead end ? sam : no , i can give spinelli a call , but i am -- i 'm not optimistic about the whole thing . i wanted to go to patrick with answers . i wanted to have concrete answers so he could make sense of all this . and after all this , i have absolutely nothing . i feel bad . silas : is this just about drake ? sam : no , this is not just about drake . i - i want to know who was using rafe . do n't you ? silas : absolutely . i just wanted to make sure we were on the same page . i mean , obviously , you and drake have been spending a lot of time together over the last month or so . sam : yeah , kind of like you and your wife . nina : pardon me , rosalie , but the corinthos family is one of the most powerful families in port charles . i doubt that they would give you the me of day . rosalie : for your information , i 've been getting to know morgan corinthos a little . nina : when ? you 're supposed to be attending to my every need . rosalie : i ran into morgan in the park . morgan : ow ! ugh . rosalie : we kind of hit it off . he , uh , must have needed someone to talk to , because he started telling me the whole story about how his ex - girlfriend is pregnant and he was n't sure if it was his or his papi 's . he was really broken up about it . yeah . ava 's baby 's causing him a world of heartache . nina : that makes two of us . julian : look , i tried to keep you away from our boss , but you insisted on sticking your nose in where it did n't belong . now , surprise , surprise , you 're wishing you had n't . look , this is what happens when we cozy up to the wrong guy . ava : okay . fine , julian . you were right . i was wrong . now as soon as you 're through telling me `` i told you so , `` could you please tell me how to handle this maniac ? julian : you ca n't . there 's no handling him , ava . i tried . i quit the business , remember ? he put out a hit on lucas . then i got into it with his associate , mickey diamond . he blew up alexis ' house . hell , i almost lost all of them -- sam , danny , alexis . i 'm telling you , this guy is ruthless . ava : but it does n't make any sense . lucas is luke 's nephew . julian : [ sighs ] ava : and he and alexis have apparently been friends for years . and , sure , luke 's been known to bend the rules from time to time , but he is not a ruthless criminal . so , how does this happen ? how does he change so drastically ? julian : he did n't change . ava : i -- what are you saying , that luke has always been like this ? julian : [ sighs ] i 'm saying ... he is n't luke spencer . michael : my dad hit on my mom ? morgan : when ? how ? franco : how ? well , he ... grabbed her and he kissed her a couple days ago . kiki : well , what was her reaction ? franco : she pushed him away . carly 's with me now . there 's no way anything would happen between carly and sonny . morgan : you sure about that ? carly : what are you talking about ? there is n't gon na be a next time . sonny : you keep saying that . carly : you 're not listening to me . franco could destroy your relationship with michael . sonny : you know what 's gon na happen if he does that , right ? carly : you 're not hearing me . you ca n't wrap your head around this . i love franco . sonny : every time you say that , you believe it less . carly : i love him . sonny : you love him ? carly : i love franco , yeah . sonny : okay , but you know what ? you want me . carly : stop . i am out of here . sonny ! sonny : listen to me ! at best , he 's -- he 's a fool . at worst , he 's a psychopath , and he 's a slime ball . carly : stop ! sonny : and you know that i 'm right ! but you do n't want to admit it . and being wrong pisses you off . carly : shut the hell -- get -- sonny : stop it . sabrina : robin went to help sam 's husband ? but he 's ... patrick : dead . sabrina : yeah . patrick : yes , i know . that 's what we thought . [ sighs ] okay . someone came to robin and gave her evidence that jason was alive and that she could ... help him . sabrina : how could she help him ? patrick : by giving him treatment . but she could n't do it here . she needed to go to him . and she could n't tell anybody about it . so , she said yes , which means she left us , which -- you can imagine how that made me feel after her just coming home . and i had to promise not to say anything , which means that i had to lie to everyone , which means i had to lie to sam about knowing the truth about jason . sabrina : i do n't know how you were able to keep that from sam . you 're normally so honest . patrick : i wanted to tell her , believe me . but robin made me promise not to say anything , for jason 's sake . anyways , it turns out that jason really is dead . sabrina : and how do you know this ? patrick : i went to a clinic with sam to try and help her get information on nina clay . sabrina : okay . patrick : while i was at the clinic , i ran into robin . she told me that she lost jason while trying to revive him . sabrina : okay . so ... robin left you , she left emma to go help jason . but now jason 's dead ? patrick : [ sighs ] sabrina : so , does -- did robin come home ? patrick : no . sabrina : why ? why is n't she here with you and emma ? patrick : i do n't know . i guess we 're just not that important to her anymore . she made that choice , which means i had to make one on my own . and i filed for divorce . sabrina : oh , my god , patrick . um ... i 'm really sorry . patrick : honestly , i 'm kind of at peace with it right now . now i 'm just trying to make peace with ... keeping the information from sam about jason . sam : i do n't want to fight with you . i just want us to be honest with each other . silas : i do n't want to fight with you either , and if i 'm -- i 'm being honest , nina lives here . we spend time together . sam : time ? okay , it seems like there 's a lot more than that going on . the day we broke up , i came over here , and i saw the two of you making out on your couch . and i know this is your house , and i should have never came in , but i put my hand on that door knob and the door was open and i walked in and i saw what i saw . i 'm sorry . silas : i do n't know what to say about that . i 'm sorry . sam : and then today , i come in here , and ... you invite me in , and she acts all possessive . she does n't even want to leave the two of us alone . like , i ca n't have a private conversation with you ? i mean , come on , silas . what 's going on ? are you and nina living as husband and wife ? nina : ava had an affair with my husband . they conceived a child . she carried it to full term -- little cuckoo kiki . cuckoo , cuckoo , i 'm cuckoo ! [ sighs ] that kid 's so annoying . i swear i just want to put my head under a faucet . [ sighs ] but ava raised her for 20 years . 20 years . silas ' daughter -- my husband 's daughter . [ sighs ] 20 years of hopscotch . 20 years of school plays . 20 years of family picnics . 20 years . where was i ? i was alone and empty . rosalie : yeah . you were dealt a bad hand , that 's for sure . nina : what happened to me ? i do n't have a baby , do i ? i do n't have a baby . that was supposed to be my baby -- my baby with silas . that was my baby -- our baby together . what do i have now ? ! i have nothing . i have nothing . i got rid of sam . i got rid of her -- she 's off the list -- so that i could have a life with silas . where am i now ? he has n't even given me a baby . rosalie : it takes time . nina : he has n't had sex with me , rosalie . he does n't w -- rosalie , what i am if i do n't have a baby ? what am i ? i 'm just a dry , old , barren woman . rosalie : hey , a lot of women have rich -- nina : same has a baby . sam has a baby . well , it 's not a baby anymore , but she has one . why her and not me ? rosalie : it 's not exactly a badge of honor . nina : what is the point ? ! i got rid of sam . silas could n't get me out of that apartment fast enough just so he could be alone with her . sam : i do n't mean to pry about nina , but you seem to be suggesting that my friendship with patrick is somehow not okay because we spend time together . silas : i sleep on the couch , if that 's what you 're asking . sam : okay . i mean , that is not an ideal relationship . silas : that 's the only one i got . rosalie : there is nothing going on between sam and silas . okay ? they 're done . thanks to you . look , you came out of that coma . you set your goals . and you 're gon na get everything you want and deserve . nina : oh , rosalie . you 're finally making sense . thank you so much . thank you so much . i love you . [ chuckles ] you 're right . you 're so right . if i just focus and i work hard , i can get what i want . i can have what i want . rosalie : yeah . nina : i 'm nina clay . [ chuckles ] i came back from the brink of death , did n't i ? i can have exactly what i want . yeah . i just -- i 'm finally getting my husband where i want him . rosalie : yeah . yeah , see ? you 're making progress already . nina : yeah . yeah , and i will have a baby . i 'll have my own baby . rosalie : yeah . i mean , assuming you can get pregnant . ava : i assume you 're speaking figuratively , because our boss is most definitely luke spencer . julian : no . he is n't . ava : julian , i saw him . i saw him with my own eyes during a video call . he 's a very recognizable man . julian : do you remember when carly jacks was kidnapped ? ava : could n't forget that . my own daughter thought i was the perpetrator . julian : yeah , well , luke spencer -- the real luke spencer -- stumbled upon heather when she was holding carly hostage . unfortunately , heather was n't alone , so her muscle brought luke back to miscavige , locked him up . he languished there for weeks . so , the man that heather locked up was n't the same man that was freed from miscavige . ava : i know that he 'd been drugged and traumatized , but could luke really change that much ? julian : you 're not hearing me . i 'm not speaking figuratively . he 's literally not the same man . the real luke spencer is still locked up in miscavige . so the guy that 's giving us orders now is the man who took luke 's place . ava : this is absurd . if our boss is not luke spencer , then who is he ? carly : okay . sonny : wait , wait , wait . carly : stop . what the hell are you doing ? ! sonny : you dropped by . carly : because i wanted to have a conversation with you , sonny . adults , you know -- act like adults , but i guess , you know , that 's never gon na happen . sonny : carly , stop now . i 'm glad this happened , 'cause that way , you know , it 's not like last night was a one - night stand . there 's something between us . you know it . you feel it . you ca n't ignore it . and this brings you , you know , closer to getting rid of franco . carly : is that what this is about ? you and the boys hate franco so much that you 're gon na sleep with me to try and get rid of him ? patrick : after all the months knowing that jason was alive and i did n't tell sam , so maybe i should -- maybe i should tell her now . tell her that he is gone . tell her what i know . sabrina : you want to tell her what you know ? what , that -- that her husband is dead ? patrick , she 's already known that for two years now . what good would it do to tell her otherwise ? you 'd just be ripping her heart to pieces all over again . patrick : i can tell the way she talks about him , she still misses him . maybe if she knew the truth , maybe it would help give her some -- some closure . sabrina : she 'd wonder if she could have saved him , what she could have done to make things turn out differently . she 's already been through that once when he died before . why make sam hurt all over again ? sam : i need to tell patrick what 's going on . look , if you find anything , um , even if it seems insignificant to you , can you please , um ... give me a call or let me know ? silas : i will . sam : oh , um , rafe 's phone . d - do -- can i -- can i , um , have it for now ? silas : it 's yours . sam : silas , thank you . i know how hard it was to go through rafe 's things . [ door closes ] silas : take care of yourself , sam . nina : what did you say ? rosalie : nothing . nina : i 'll refresh your memory . you said , `` assuming you can get pregnant . `` what did you mean ? rosalie : forget it . nina : are you saying i 'm old ? rosalie : no . nina : so , what did you mean ? nina : you were in the coma for a really long time . okay , do you -- do you even know what kind of changes your body has gone through ? i mean , after all , you did have a miscarriage . nina : i had a miscarriage because my mother injected me with an overdose of antidepressants , not because there 's anything wrong with me , rosalie . there 's nothing wrong with me . rosalie : of course not . nina : no ! of course not . so what did you mean ? rosalie : i just do n't want you to be disappointed if you ca n't -- nina : i 'm not gon na be disappointed . i 'm not gon na be disappointed . i 'm not . you , yourself , said i could do anything i want . i could have anything i want . and i will . i will have anything i want , one way or another . ava : so , who is it ? who is this luke 's doppelganger ? julian : if i knew , i 'd tell you . but i honestly do n't have a clue . ava : you must know something . julian : well , just that i met him when i was in the witness protection program . i mean , he went by several aliases back then . anyway , i was desperate to get out of this black hole of obscurity that i was in . he offered me a shot at rebuilding our family , restoring the power to the jeromes ' name . so i jumped at his offer . he certainly gave me my life back . i mean , for a while there , it was better than i could have ever imagined . i had my business , my family . our boss let me think that we had the perfect partnership . then he showed his true colors . ava : in other words , your arrangement really was too good to be true . julian : he offered me everything i could ever want . and then once i was in too deep to get out , he changed the rules . look , ava , this guy -- he 's a dangerous , unpredictable sociopath with ice in his veins . by throwing in with this guy , i made the biggest mistake of my life . unfortunately , now you have , too . franco : sonny is never gon na get his way with carly . why are we even talking about this ? michael : [ sighs ] my parents have been getting their way with each other since i was , uh , well , a toddler . my mom brought me to live with my dad before they got married the first time . morgan : right , and then there was another three times for a grand total of four so far . and so it 's not like they need to be married to get their way with each other . kiki : guys , carly is with franco now . your father should respect that . michael : my dad does n't respect anything about franco . morgan : yeah , and let 's look at his track record . he wanted your mom , and he got her , right ? franco : okay , please . ava and carly are completely different species . ava 's a manipulator . please , if -- if i told you some of the things that ava 's done , it would turn your stomach . morgan : okay , i do n't want to sit here and hear how bad ava is , and who the hell are you to talk about turning anyone 's stomach ? michael : wait , do n't -- do n't go there . morgan : why ? why not ? michael : because there 's no point . what franco did is in the past , and bringing it up is only gon na make kiki and mom defend him more . morgan : but you sitting here , criticizing ava -- that just makes you a hypocrite on top of everything else . franco : you two are just determined to hate me . morgan : pretty much . michael : well , we have our reasons . kiki : actually , could we rewind a little bit ? what is it that you know about my mom that would turn my stomach ? franco : i just meant that carly and ava are completely different creatures . i -- carly would never cheat on me with sonny . morgan : yeah , well , that 's what i thought about ava , too . ava : our boss wants me to murder michael . julian : [ sighs ] look , i know you do n't want to hurt your daughter , ava , but if you do n't take out michael , our boss wo n't think twice about killing kiki just to punish you . ava : no . he would n't . julian : he would . it 's up to you . is n't it better for kiki to lose her boyfriend than for her to lose her life ? patrick : i do n't know . maybe i should have told sam about jason right when robin told me . i guess that does n't matter , because that 's too late . so i do n't know . i think you 're right . i - i ca n't tell sam the truth about jason now , because that 's only gon na hurt her again . i do n't want to do that . i ca n't do that . but i ca n't stop thinking about it every time i see sam . [ doorbell rings ] sam : hi . patrick : hey . hi , come in . um , look who 's back . sam : hi . hey . sabrina , wow . you have definitely been missed . it 's good to see you . sabrina : well , i 'm glad i had a chance to get away , but it 's good to be home . and thank you , sam . patrick told me that you 've done all you can to try to uncover the truth about who ran us off the road . sam : uh ... speaking of that ... patrick : you have any news ? sam : well , um , i was able to get rafe 's effects , and i went through his phone . and so far , i have not been able to figure out who pushed rafe into causing your accident . patrick : [ sighs ] rosalie : uh , `` one way or another , `` you will get a baby ? um , what exactly does that mean ? what other way is there besides getting pregnant with dr. clay 's kid . nina : well , obviously , silas is my first choice , but if silas wo n't give me a baby , i 'm gon na find somebody else who will . franco : well , i should get to work . carly 's gon na love these . will you do me a favor ? will you please thank david and jennifer , whoever they are ? carly : that 's what this is about ? breaking up me and franco ? sonny : not at all . but getting you away from that son of a bitch is kind of like a fringe benefit . carly : i am not gon na leave franco ... for you or because of you . sonny : better yet , do it for yourself . just admit that you made a mistake . carly : i did n't make a mistake . sonny : you 're standing there , and you want to fight . and i 'm not gon na fight with you , so that means the only person you 're fighting with is yourself . carly : i 'm out of here . sonny : see you next time . rosalie : so , you 're gon na sleep with another man when you supposedly love silas with all your heart and soul ? nina : i do love silas . oh , i love him . but i also hate him with a passion . he betrayed me . rosalie : so , you 're gon na cheat on him . nina : i do n't have to cheat on silas . there are other ways to get a baby . ava : how can i do this to my child ? julian : look , if kiki loses her boyfriend , she 'll hurt , of course , but , ava , she 's gon na get over it . on the other hand , kiki 's death at the hands of our boss -- that 's forever . i 'm sorry . it 's your choice . michael : i 'm sorry you got caught in the middle of all that . kiki : mm , i agree . the whole franco flowers thing -- that was pretty tacky . [ chuckles ] i just think he gets insecure around you and morgan . he always says and does the wrong thing . michael : well , you know , there is a solution . my mom could dump him and then go right back to my dad . kiki : oh , yeah . 'cause i 'm really sure your mom would enjoy waiting for a baby that could be her stepson or grandchild . [ cell phone rings ] kiki : hold on . speak of the devil . mother . we were actually just talking about you . ava : good things , i hope . kiki : always . ava : well , after that sweet little birthday party you gave me last night , i - i would like to return the favor by having you over for dinner . and i 'd love it if you brought michael . [ next_on ] ava : ( to julian ) i have to keep my daughter safe . olivia : ( to coleman ) what are you talkin ' about ? what search ? michael : ( to kiki ) if i had it my way , my father 's killer would be rotting in the ground . dante : ( to sonny ) maxie and lulu were kidnapped . elizabeth : ( to nikolas ) britt was with you last night ? britt : ( to nathan ) you have feelings for her , do n't you ? maxie : ( to levi ) where is lulu ?
ava shares with julian their boss 's edict that she kill michael corinthos . she admits she was wrong to want to know who the boss was in the first place . she finds it hard to believe that luke spencer would change so dramatically into a ruthless crime boss . julian informs her that their boss might look like luke , but he is not . he does n't know his true identity . ava is torn as to whether to hurt kiki by eliminating her boyfriend or defy their boss and risk him killing her daughter in retaliation . she calls kiki and invites her and michael over for dinner .
anna : i ca n't disclose to you where i got the diamond , so why do n't we just say that it 's part of an unofficial inquiry , and i just was hoping that -- man : i 'm sorry . i ca n't help you . anna : why not ? man : if this were off the books , i could get arrested just for touching that stone . anna : what are you talking about ? man : you really do n't know , do you ? anna : no . man : that diamond is stolen property . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : hey , franco . it 's me . my shift is almost over , so i 'm gon na meet you at your studio . i ca n't wait to see which paintings they returned to you . [ scene_break ] ava : what are you doing here ? franco : wow . egon schiele would have a field day . ava : oh ! franco : wait , no , no . hold on , hold on . wait , wait . one second . i - i have a proposal for you . ava : well , i propose this . [ scene_break ] kristina : hey , you ! it 's been a while . valerie : yeah . since nurses ' ball ? kristina : that ca n't be . listen , i have to run a quick errand , but i would love to catch up when i get back . can i get you something before i leave ? valerie : eh , you probably should n't . my blind date is gon na be here soon . kristina : oh . well , good luck . valerie : thanks . [ indistinct conversations in distance ] [ scene_break ] curtis : auntie , you know i read people and situations for a living . stella : mm - hmm . curtis : and you insisting that we meet at this particular coffee shop at this particular time is one thing . but insisting i wear this sport coat ? stella : you wear it well . curtis : well , thank you . i 'd like to think everything i purchase i wear well , but , uh [ breathes deeply ] you up to something , though . what is it ? stella : i just wanted you to meet a new friend of mine . curtis : [ sighs ] now , uh , does this new friend happen to be a beautiful young woman ? stella : mm . well , now that you mention it ... curtis : i thought i asked you not to set me up . stella : curtis , trust me . i just met this girl the other day , and i could just tell you two will hit it off . i 'm not trying to see anybody . ah ! and there she is now . hi , valerie . [ scene_break ] carly : so , you ready to order ? josslyn : you know what , mom ? you can ground me until school starts , you know , and you can even rope me into these `` mother - daughter `` lunches to `` talk things out . `` but you ca n't make me enjoy it ! carly : i do n't care if you enjoy it . i need you to understand how serious this is . you were n't supposed to leave the house , let alone go hang out with oscar . josslyn : yeah , and if it was n't for me and oscar , sonny could have died . carly : and so could you ! and oscar ! what if you 'd shown up at that construction site when that man shot sonny ? josslyn : we would have run for our lives and called 911 . carly : or taken hostage or worse , and i would have had no idea where to look for you ... all because you had to sneak out of the house ! josslyn : i know i messed up , okay ? but after everything that 's happened , why ca n't you just believe that oscar and i will never do anything like that again ? carly : i know you wo n't . because outside of school , you are never going to see oscar again . [ scene_break ] alexis : good to see you 're recovering from your latest brush with death . sonny : well , i 'm doing a lot better . just a lot of physical therapy . [ breathes deeply ] alexis : epiphany again ? sonny : [ sighs ] uh - huh . alexis : well , if anything can persuade you to give up a life of crime ... sonny : it 's definitely incentive . alexis : so , you know that guy who shot you -- garvey . that 's his name ? sonny : mm - hmm . alexis : he almost had kristina growing up without a father . you know , i was thinking about that during julian 's trial . i was thinking that no matter how hard we all try to put our past behind us , there seems to always be some bogeyman lurking around the shadows that 's gon na jump out and wreak havoc on all of our lives . [ scene_break ] jason : how we doing ? sam : we need to tell carly . jason : when you 're better . sam : she 's gon na figure it out , jason . she always does . jason : she does n't need to figure it out today . just finish this paperwork . i 'm gon na call monica , check on the kids , okay ? be right back . sam : okay . andré : sam . hi . sam : hey . andré : i just passed jason , and i heard they were sending you home today . i thought maybe you 'd want to talk to someone before you go . sam : about ? andré : what you did while you were sick . [ scene_break ] sonny : testifying must have been hard on you . you want to talk about it ? alexis : with you ? sonny : yeah . alexis : not particularly . sonny : [ sighs ] alexis : i will tell you that it was stressful , and i 'm not sure that i did the right thing . sonny : well , as long as you told the truth , there 's nothing to apologize about . alexis : [ scoffs ] i do n't know . maybe that 's true . the fact is , is if julian had told me about olivia , then my daughter would n't have given birth in a ravine and contracted an infection that almost killed her . sonny : but it did n't . alexis : damn near did . sonny : she made it , alexis . alexis : well , okay , but this is gon na be really hard for her . sonny : yeah . we 're -- we 're gon na -- we 're gon na get through it , believe me . alexis : yeah , if you say so . sonny : [ sighs ] alexis : i got to tell you , it 's just really exhausting not knowing if your daughter 's gon na be all right . kristina : great , mom . just great . the first chance you get , you run and tell dad about parker ? ! [ scene_break ] valerie : [ sighs ] curtis ... curtis : valerie . stella : you know each other ? valerie : you could say that . stella : well , this is perfect ! come on , have a seat . the first coffee 's on me . and then you can tell me how you know each other . valerie : that would n't be a good idea . curtis : yeah . maybe -- maybe i should go . stella : oh , i see . it 's that kind of history . curtis : that 's one way of putting it . stella : well , think of this as a golden opportunity for you to work out your differences . valerie : thank you , stella , but i do n't think so . stella : why not ? valerie : as you know , i 'm a cop . curtis used me to gain access to a file on an open investigation . he nearly cost me my career , and then he turned around and started dating my boss . stella : oh ! i see ! well , at least now we know who 's at fault : my favorite former in - law strikes again . curtis : jordan had nothing to do with the breakup . that breakup was my fault . [ scene_break ] franco : seriously , ava , let me in . it 'll just take a second . ava : whatever you 're selling , franco ... franco : is this 'cause of what i said about your face ? ava : just go away . i 've had my fill of offers from deranged men . franco : really ? how many deranged men do you know ? ava : oh , come on , franco . just take the hint . i have no interest in whatever harebrained scheme you 've come up with this time . franco : well , technically , it 's your daughter 's harebrained scheme . ava : 30 seconds . franco : okay . so , remember when the old me had a brain tumor and i used to do a lot of really unpleasant things ? well , some of the old me 's victims were suing me . ava : condensed version . franco : well , we settled out of court , and they gave me all of my paintings back , and i have them now . and the art world is abuzz with anticipation for the old me 's dark and twisted vision of the world , and i just want to get rid of it . and since you own an art gallery ... ava : well , that is -- it 's a pretty good idea on paper . franco : well , great ! then let 's do it ! ava : well , i might , except for one thing . i am never setting foot in that gallery again . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : i have some news , and i thought it 'd be best if you heard it from me . jason : uh - oh . elizabeth : okay . i asked franco to move in . he agreed . jason : [ sighs ] you know how i feel about that . especially about him being around jake . elizabeth : jason ... jason : yes ? elizabeth : ... it is my life and my decision . and after everything we 've been through with jake , i was really hoping you 'd be able to accept franco as part of his life . jason : oh . and why would i do that ? elizabeth : [ scoffs ] because the one thing we all have in common is that we all love jake . including franco . jason : does n't excuse what he did to sam . elizabeth : [ sighs ] i was really hoping by now you 'd understand that franco was n't well when he did those unforgivable things .

[ scene_break ] curtis : i went to the police station to visit valerie , and there was a disturbance that drew everyone away . there was a file left unattended . i not only opened the file , but i took pictures of everything in it . and at the same time , i almost cost valerie her career . that , too , was my fault . stella : curtis , you 're better than that . curtis : yeah . valerie : look , it all worked out . with my job , anyway . curtis : come on , auntie . i 'll take you home . stella : [ sighs ] i do n't understand . how could you use that poor girl like that ? curtis : i gave in to temptation , auntie . there was a kid dead . the investigation was going nowhere . i thought i could get away with it . and i was wrong . it 's not the first time .

[ captioned by the national captioning institute ] [ scene_break ] reese : what you tried to do with ric was really low . sonny : my business with ric is my business . reese : you tried to squeeze him . admit it . you know , sonny , we both know how meaningful it is for you to have asked ric to be your lawyer . after everything that he 's done to try to win your trust , of course you 're going to think that there is no way that he could possibly turn you down . sonny : do n't lecture me on trust . it rings false . reese : hey , this has nothing to do with us . you made up your mind about me , sonny . there 's nothing that i can do about that . sonny : well , you got that right . reese : yeah . but i have built a life and a career here in port charles , and it 's crazy for you to try to use your brother to ruin that . sonny : i did n't . reese : you asked him to be your attorney if he dissolved his partnership with me . sonny : well , no , i asked him if he would represent me as my legal counsel . i just did n't want any complications . reese : you were born with complications , sonny . and you have no right to drive a wedge between me and my partner . and just so you know -- i 'm not leaving town . sonny : it 's not personal , reese . i need to be able to trust my lawyer and anybody in his office who has access to my files . and since you revealed to me who you really are , the secrets you kept from me , you ca n't be trusted . reese : i told you the truth , sonny . sonny : well , too little , too late . reese : i told you as soon as you made it clear how you felt about me . sonny : and , what , i have your word on that ? reese : ugh . caroline was my best friend . she slept with my father , she destroyed my family , she turned my life into -- sonny : i heard the story about 25 times . reese : ok , you know what ? but i almost died in a car accident , so forgive me if i had some fantasy about payback . is that such a difficult concept for you , sonny ? somebody hurts you and you want to hurt them back . kind of like what you 're doing to me right now . sonny : i told you , it 's not personal . reese : it could n't be any more personal . so let 's just focus on the truth here for a minute . i was honest with you . so now it 's your turn . [ scene_break ] skye : well , you 'll be happy to know that my first meeting as director of the charitable endowment was a resounding success . lorenzo : never had any doubt . you 're the perfect person for the job . carly : so , this is the game you 're playing ? leave me sobbing in a heap at the hospital while you come here and score with the skankiest piece of trash money can buy ? [ scene_break ] ric : hey . well , i 'm glad you 're here . i thought i should let you know i 've put together a list of motions to file in response to your sexual discrimination -- alexis : oh , you know -- ric : no , no , no , i think you 're going to like this , really . my favorite is where i file a continuance till after the baby is born , of course . that way , you can be in court breastfeeding , thus proving your point in the most vivid of terms . alexis : funny . funny . i dropped it , ok ? it 's gone . bye - bye . gone . ric : why the sudden change of heart ? alexis : jax wants a divorce . ric : well , you already gave him one . i 'm next on the list , right ? alexis : i 'm not joking . he wants a divorce and he 's asked me to represent him . ric : you 're serious ? what happened ? alexis : i do n't know . i mean , i thought elizabeth would be the one to have problems with the surrogacy , but it did n't turn out that way at all . it 's courtney . she 's having trouble dealing with it . ric : i thought that they wanted this child . alexis : they do . but apparently , jax was spending too much time with elizabeth , and courtney did n't like that . and if i 've got my facts straight , jax said that courtney is now involved with nikolas . ric : your nikolas ? alexis : which i do n't think is true . it ca n't be true , because i know that nikolas would never cheat on emily . ric : that 's bad . alexis : jax is angry and he wants to cut courtney out of his life , and i -- i told him that i thought that would be stupid , because he loves her . ric : so did you agree to represent him ? alexis : no . i told him that he was making a mistake . i told him that he should n't jeopardize his marriage , he should fight for it and that he should n't get so caught up in his feelings that he , you know , does something self - destructive . ric : you said all of that ? alexis : i did . and strangely enough , i -- sometimes when i talk , i can actually hear what i 'm saying when i 'm saying it . sometimes i actually follow my own advice . [ scene_break ] nikolas : ok . i see you 're still under the impression that i slept with your wife . jax : shut up . nikolas : i did n't . i kissed courtney . i freely admit that . most of all , we just talked about you . jax : well , whatever turns you on , cassadine . nikolas : we talked about fate , we talked about kismet , how it brings two people together -- jax : what 's it going to take to shut you up ? nikolas : creates soul mates . for me , that soul mate is emily . for courtney , it 's you . she does n't want to lose you , jax . jax : she put you up to this ? try for a little damage control ? or is this your lame attempt at trying to save your own marriage ? nikolas : yes , i definitely intend to save my marriage . jax : well , maybe your wife will buy it . maybe she 'll take you back . it 'd be perfect . you can have courtney on the side , and i can get on with my life . nikolas : you 're not listening to me . courtney loves you . jax : what ? i do n't want her . nikolas : you do n't -- wait , you 're having a baby with her . jax : hey , that is none of your business . nikolas : why do n't you just get over yourself , or you 'll lose the best thing that ever happened to you . [ scene_break ] courtney : it 's a safe bet you told sonny that i 'm sleeping with nikolas . i mean , i do n't know why else he would bar me from seeing you . i also do n't know why you 're taking refuge in sonny 's home . emily : i came here to look for my brother , but he 's out of town . courtney : and you found my brother instead . emily : sonny 's been very kind , courtney . he offered to let me stay in his guesthouse while i put the pieces of my life back together , sort things out . courtney : it looks a lot more like you 're hiding from nikolas than fixing your life . emily : oh , that would be convenient -- take any blame off of yourself by making it all my fault . courtney : i want you to think really hard about what you 're doing , emily . emily : all i 've done is think about it . courtney : nikolas loves you . i mean , you should hear the way he talks about you . emily : oh . you know , that really warms my heart , courtney . the thought of you and my husband discussing me at length . where , in bed ? were you all sympathy and soft shoulder ? courtney : i listened , yes . emily : oh , no , you did a lot more than that . you make it sound so innocent and sweet . yeah , nikolas must have told you how understanding i am , how kind and forgiving and accepting . what a shock this must come to you all . but i 'm fresh out , the minute you two joined the mile - high club on your way to the bahamas . courtney : that trip was -- it was just a coincidence , ok ? jax and i were supposed to go together . he got held up . emily : why are you here , courtney ? courtney : because i want you to fight for your marriage , emily . emily : worry about your own marriage . courtney : i will . but you need to know that nikolas and i never slept together . he adores you . emily , you 're breaking his heart . emily : do n't talk to me about heartbreak , courtney . my husband was in your room , wearing nothing but a robe . it is not hard to fill in the blanks , ok ? nikolas had just left your bed , right , where he was kissing you , groping you , pulling off your robe . how am i doing , courtney ? because what happened in that hotel room -- that 's not faithful . that 's the opposite of faithful . courtney : i am not going to defend myself . i know that you 're angry , and i do n't blame you . emily : you do n't blame me ? i do n't need your permission to be angry , courtney . you know , the funny thing is , even though nikolas and i are breaking up over what happened , he 's not the one i blame . i blame you . my marriage was in terrible trouble . we were dealing with some very difficult , very private stuff . i 'm sure you heard all about it . courtney : nikolas loves you and respects you . emily : right , but when he needed someone to confide in -- oh , you were happy to lend an ear or a shoulder or anything else he was n't getting at home . courtney : i was not after your husband . emily : oh , you mean it just happened ? what , sneaking around , hiding in corners , talking about how life dealt you a really lousy hand . oh , poor courtney . her handsome , adoring , richer - than - croesus husband was so distracted because he was getting her exactly what she wanted -- a baby . ah , gee . could life get any tougher ? you had to spit in jax 's face and then come after my husband . courtney : you act like we planned this . emily : oh , do n't insult me by saying it was an accident , courtney . we make choices in this life , ok ? at some point , you must have thought to yourself , `` this man is married . `` and then you had to decide , so what ? to hell with his wife and with your own marriage . courtney : ok , look , maybe it is easier for you to believe that i am just some cold - hearted tramp who went after your poor husband , but you know the reality is a lot more complicated than that . emily : shut up ! courtney , you do not get to analyze what is wrong with my marriage after you 've helped to destroy it ! courtney : i just want you to think real hard before you use me as your excuse to leave nikolas forever . emily : yeah , i saw the look on your face . total guilt . how does it feel , courtney , being held up as a home wrecker ? hope you 're proud of yourself . [ scene_break ] nikolas : courtney 's taken your disrespect , been called a liar , amongst other things i 'm sure , all for one reason -- she wants to save her marriage with you . jax : you know , if you paid as much attention to what your own wife wants , we could have avoided this . nikolas : we can still avoid it , jax . you have no idea how much you 've hurt courtney with this -- this baby debacle . yet she 's still willing to walk through fire to preserve what you have . jax : this baby debacle was half her idea . then she got scared , and then she got -- she got selfish . nikolas : i -- i just -- i find it really hard to believe that . it 'd be tough to find a more -- a more caring , understanding person than courtney , but you 'd know that if you paid closer attention to her . jax : oh , you know , for a man who 's trying to convince me that he 's not having an affair with my wife ; you 're not making a very good case for yourself . singing her praises as if you know her better than i do . nikolas : you know , courtney told me that you were a shallow , arrogant jerk when she first met you . but then she told me that you grew on her . said she -- she saw something more going on with you , so she invested in it . but if you ask me , she had you nailed since day one . jax : well , you know what , cassadine ? i really do n't care what you think or what she thinks . ok ? [ scene_break ] alexis : when jax told me that he was going to bail on his marriage , i told him that i thought it was the biggest mistake of his life . ric : it is big . alexis : it is big . and there 's a baby involved . and when there 's a baby involved , it changes things . ric : yeah . i would hope so . alexis : he loves her , very clearly . he 's just so angry that he ca n't feel it . and i sense that he 's feeling insecure . ric : jax insecure ? strikes me as a very self - assured guy . alexis : oh , it happens , believe me . he 's afraid that he 's going to get hurt . ric : everybody 's afraid that they 're going to get hurt . alexis : well , you know , life is a risk . and you have to take chances . so i 'm done , if you want to say something . ric : well , i -- alexis : i 'm not done . you 've made me happier than any man has ever made me . ric : yet you feel the need to test me every day , right ? you know what i think ? i think we need to take it very , very slow and focus on the part where we make each other happy and go from there .

[ edward chuckles ] edward : you know something ? you have the maternal instincts of a shark . dillon , you ought to watch the wildlife channel sometimes . sharks eat their young . tracy : why do n't you shut up ? your needs are the polar opposite of my son 's . edward : dillon is a fine young man , and he knows that there is nothing more important than family . tracy : which means you want this heir at the expense of my son 's future . dillon : okay -- okay , stop , stop ! just stop , please . this is my baby , it 's not yours . you guys can argue all you want . i really do n't care . you can bicker ' til the cows come home . but in the end , lulu and i are going to make the choices about the baby 's future , because we 're the parents , and you 're bystanders , okay ? you 're bystanders . tracy : are you happy now ? edward : you hear that boy ? he 's finally starting to talk like a quartermaine . which means we 'd both better watch out .

[ scene_break ] maxie : lucky ? hey , i did n't expect to hear from you again . lucky : listen , lulu -- lulu 's in trouble , and i 'm just -- i 'm too messed up to help her . maxie : yeah , i hear withdrawals are terrible . i mean , the shakes , cramping , chills . lucky : i just -- i just need a few pills so i can just even out long enough to help lulu . can you -- can you just do that for me ? maxie : well , it 's getting really hard to score pills , so i probably wo n't be able to get some ' til maybe , like , tomorrow .

[ scene_break ] lulu : dillon wants to marry me , even though tracy hates the idea . but tracy wants the baby , though . huh . this is so messed up , mom . i do n't know what to do . i wish that we could talk this over . i could really use your advice right about now . lulu : oh . but you ca n't help me . the truth is , you probably thought that i was an accident as much as dad did . and now , i 'm pregnant . but how can i bring a baby into this world whose parents do n't want it ? any more than you and dad wanted me ? [ next_on ] emily : hey , lulu . alexis : i walked in on my husband and my daughter having sex . lainey : do they know that you know ? alexis : i ca n't tell them . elizabeth : i need to protect lucky , but i do n't need to be protected from what we had . i do n't feel guilty . jason : neither do i .

[ scene_break ] sonny : we just ca n't be sure that ric is involved . jason : ric is obsessed with elizabeth . he ca n't stand the thought of elizabeth caring about me . he 's out for revenge , sonny . sonny : maybe , maybe . jason : `` maybe . `` okay , look , i know it 's your brother , you want to protect him , but not this time . sonny : no , it has nothing to do with being my brother . the person i want to protect here is you , and i think you 're looking for a scapegoat here . jason : well , elizabeth would n't be the first woman that ric threatened . remember what happened to carly ? sonny : yeah , i do , but , you know , you 've just been cut off from your only child , you 're angry , and you -- you want to make somebody a target , and ric 's easier than elizabeth . jason : okay , i 'm angry because elizabeth and her children were threatened , and the men who did it said it was because of me . i do n't run the business . all of our enemies know that . it does n't make any sense that someone would want leverage on me . this is personal ! and the person who hates me most is ric ! sonny : okay , like i said before , you just gave up your only child , and mostly because elizabeth does n't have the courage to accept how you live . you 're not thinking clearly -- i get that -- but that gives ric the advantage . how many times have you told me -- a million times ? -- do n't let emotions cloud your judgment ? it leaves you vulnerable , and it makes you a target for anybody who wants to hurt you . [ scene_break ] sam : jason has a lot of enemies . any one of them could 've seen the news footage of elizabeth running into his arms . maxie : that had to hurt . sam : no , not really . i was just more astonished that elizabeth could be so self - centered . i mean , she had just admitted in court to having sex with him , and then she runs into his arms in front of a bunch of reporters when she 's supposedly married to lucky . maxie : i know exactly what you 're up against with elizabeth -- everybody thinks she can do no wrong . sam : well , not so much anymore . maxie : i would love to see elizabeth fall off her pedestal -- i 'd also love to see lulu fall right next to her . sam : lulu ? she 's not giving you grief , is she ? maxie : for now , but i 'm about to turn the tables . i got this total slime , logan hayes , to agree to do a number on her -- you know , get her into bed , then dump her , break her heart , make her look like a fool -- but i had to agree to sleep with him for him to do the deed . sam : maxie , trust me , do n't -- please , do n't . if you 're thinking about it , do n't use sex as revenge . it never works , ever . it always winds up being a big mistake , okay ? maxie : because if you get caught , people call you a slut and eventually you start to believe it ? sam : something like that , yeah . maxie : okay , well , at this point , i do n't really care if anyone judges me . if i am a slut , i 'm going to be the slut who ruined lulu 's perfect life , and that 's going to feel good . sam : okay , i guess you have a point . lucky : is this a bad time ? maxie : no , i was just leaving . and i 'm always happy to drop off stuff from the boutique for you , it 's never a problem . sam : thanks -- thanks for the coffee . maxie : uh - huh . sam : come in . i was n't expecting to see you . well , did you find me a bodyguard ?

[ nikolas sighs ] emily : okay , okay , so i went a little too fast last time -- just a little , a little . nikolas : you nearly -- you nearly flipped the boat , emily . emily : uh - huh , but i did n't . nikolas : i do n't know how someone who is so cautious behind the wheel of a car can suddenly turn into a speed demon when driving the boat . emily : because that 's just the way i learned to drive . nikolas : well , then you 'll need a jacket . emily : uh - huh , and a scarf . nikolas : and a life -- [ phone rings ] emily : yes . nikolas : and a life vest . let me -- i need to get that . i 'll -- i 'll be right out . carl . what are you -- what do you -- what do you mean ? i told you not to call me until the deal -- you know what ? i 'm -- i 'm sick of your incompetence . the deal 's over , okay ? i -- look , i 'm just -- listen , i 'm having some -- i 'm having some problems on this end , and -- just -- just do what you can , and call me in the morning . thank you . emily : hey , everything okay ? nikolas : yeah . yeah , let 's go . yeah .

[ scene_break ] sonny : do you have a warrant ? ric : just an update . kate howard offered to dump you today -- and all association -- if i would just drop the charges of reckless driving against her . sonny : and ? ric : she also offered to tell the world that you 're bipolar , unstable , nuts . i have n't taken her up on it , but i do n't know -- maybe i should reconsider .

[ breathes deeply ] starr : hey , what are you doing ? michael : gon na prove you right . starr : by going through trey 's stuff ? michael : uh - huh . starr : what -- his laptop ? michael , that 's a serious invasion of his privacy . michael : well , trey lost all of his privacy privileges when he took my sister out a window . jerry : you see , you ca n't live without water . that 's why aquifers , reservoirs , and wells are so important . they 're the gateway to the bloodstream of all the thirsty people in town . joe jr. : yeah , i do n't need a civics lesson . just tell me what to do . jerry : all right . you and your team will meet me at port charles reservoir at 2 : 00 a.m . i 'll bring the materials . joe jr. : you have a tanker truck stashed somewhere ? jerry : do n't be ridiculous . this solution is hyper concentrated . joe jr. : and you 're sure it 'll work ? jerry : well , i once dosed nikolas cassadine with something very similar . he had to meet my demands or die , and it worked very well . this is the same thing on a larger scale -- the entire town , with the exception of two very special people . joe jr. : yeah , well , i 'm surprised that you bothered to save anyone . jerry : oh , come on . i still have some family feeling , although my brother would disagree . jax does n't realize how much trouble it took me to get him stranded on the other side of the planet . joe jr. : were you actually protecting your brother , or did you just not want him to figure out what you were up to ? jerry : even if carly chose to tell jax of josslyn 's illness ... he would never make it out here in time . and by now , he 'd know that she 's gon na be fine . he just does n't realize that ... i 'm the one who protected her . jax : yeah . i mean , alexis is my best friend . josslyn is my daughter . and i think that 's the connection we share . carly : do you think someone went after the two of them to draw you back to port charles ? jax : well , i mean , it could n't hurt to look at the people who have grudges against me , right ? carly : it 's not sonny . sonny would not hurt alexis or josslyn , ever . jax : okay . maybe it was helena cassadine . carly : maybe . i mean , she hates alexis , and she 'd have no problem hurting a child . when was the last time helena paid you any attention ? jax : mm . carly : unless there 's something i do n't know , you know . jax : no . no , no , no . i mean , things have been , you know , pretty quiet in my life . i ran into a little trouble on the tarmac in shanghai . customs and immigration , they were trying to keep me there for 24 hours , but i was able to call in some favors , and they let me go . carly : when did this happen ? jax : that was right after you called me to tell me about josslyn . carly : do you think the two incidences are related ? jax : i do n't know . look , i 'm not gon na leave town until i find out who did this to josslyn , okay ? spinelli : oh . thank you . so , dr. keenan has been above reproach since coming to the states . i mean , not even a parking ticket . so i had to go back further . he was born and raised in australia -- hence the accent -- but his father is a sheep farmer . and , like , the hard - scrabble kind , not the `` i keep a farm so i can play with it on weekends . `` i mean , so ewen put himself through college and the university of sydney medical school shearing sheep -- you know , feeding them , pasturing them , bringing the fluffy little lambs into the world . it 's really sweet . sonny : mary also had a little lamb . get on with it . spinelli : so , uh , dr. keenan could have had his choice of psychiatry residencies in the land down under . he was the ... pick of the flock , so to speak . [ chuckles ] jason : focus . spinelli : right . well , so , instead of staying in australia , dr. keenan went to anchorage , alaska . a bit odd , do n't you think ? an australian transplanted in alaska ? jason : it 's just like jax . ewen : you know , jason questioned me at some length at the hospital , and ... i could n't help but think he might have shared his -- his concerns with you . elizabeth : uh , he did talk to me , but that 's just jason . that 's -- that 's what he does . ewen : right . well , it 's -- it 's clear he does n't like me . and the feeling is -- is mutual . i mean , i ca n't help but -- but think that he would make you follow up to -- to try to ask me questions , thinking i would be more receptive to them . elizabeth : well , he did n't . he did n't . but if he had , i would have said no . ewen : i 'm sorry . i 've been looking forward to this evening , and i seem to be spoiling it . mm . but i will ask , if you could tell jason to come to me directly next time he has a concern ... elizabeth : i already told him that i thought you were as much of a target as josslyn or alexis ... and that i was really worried about you . ewen : you were ? elizabeth : well , whoever 's behind this obviously tried to lure you out to wyndemere , as well . ewen : yes . i mean , i was -- i was fortunate that i did n't answer my messages that night . elizabeth : can you think of anyone who 'd want to hurt you ? ewen : uh ... not unless it has to do with the house and the fact that i made the mistake of living there . elizabeth : i just do n't want this maniac coming after you . you 're one of the most compassionate men i 've ever known . luke : anna ? uh ... anna , i 'm getting every third word . where are you ? anna ! oh . tracy : luke , she 's gon na call back . it was a bad connection . luke : maybe so , but whatever she was saying sounded like it was urgent . tracy : and you 're going where ? luke : i 've got to throw some things in a bag . i 'm gon na go find her . tracy : forget it . you ca n't . luke , you just got out of the hospital . you can barely walk , even with a cane . you ca n't go traipsing all over switzerland , which , by the way , is an entire country , not just a shopping mall . luke : look , i have to go . she might be in danger . tracy : luke , heather webber told a terrible lie . anna believed it . heartbreaking , not dangerous . luke : yeah ? well , suppose someone dangerous used heather to lure anna to switzerland . tracy : heather is crazy . why would anyone use her for anything ? ! luke : that is exactly what i have to find out . tracy : luke ... anna does not need you to rescue her , and if she did , you 're in no condition to do it . luke : yeah , i need a flight to geneva . have you got anything in the next two hours ? tracy : hang up . luke : what ? tracy : oh , give me the phone ! i 'll give you the jet ! starr : yeah , hi . um , i was wondering if you 've seen my friend trey . he is mid-20s , dark hair ... yes , yes . he was working on that reality show . yeah , have you seen him ? maybe he came in there with kristina corinthos ? okay , well , if you do see him , could you give me a call ? thanks . [ sighs ] yeah , they were n't at kelly 's . michael : you got to be kidding me . starr : what did you find ? michael : i think i know where trey took kristina . joe jr. : my son is safely out of town . jerry : oh , that must be a great comfort to you . job well done . joe jr. : well , what about me and my crew ? you know , if we 're gon na be handling that stuff , it could get dangerous . we 're gon na need that vaccine . jerry : i thought i told you i have a limited supply , and it 's being used by other parties , as well . joe jr. : well , then you 're gon na have to find someone else for this job . i am not going anywhere near that stuff without guaranteed protection ! jerry : relax , joe . i 've got you covered . okay ? spinelli : the name jasper jacks was the first to come to my mind . i mean , he and his family were australians transplanted in alaska , just like dr. keenan . jason : is there a connection ? spinelli : well , that has yet to be determined . sonny : i was hoping i 'd never have to hear jax 's name again . carly : i do n't know how sonny 's gon na react to you being back in town . jax : oh , i do n't care . let him come after me . my main focus is joss . somebody targeted her , and i 'm not gon na leave until i know she 's safe . carly : i do n't want anything to happen to you . and when i thought ... that you were gone in the plane , i , uh ... you 're josslyn 's father , and she needs you . jax : and she needs both of us . carly : mm - hmm . carly : well , sonny is about to try and marry kate again . [ chuckles ] you know , my new business partner , thanks to you . jax : yeah , i had my reasons for selling my shares to kate . carly : really ? maybe one day , you can enlighten me . jax : what are you talking about ? i 've been trying to do that for years . josslyn : mommy , can we go home now ? carly : we can go , but , you know , i told you we 're gon na go to the hotel . jax : yeah , yeah , i heard mommy promise you room service and pedicures -- two of her favorite activities . carly : that 's right . what good is having a hotel if you do n't get to take full advantage of all the amenities ? and the first - rate security system . jax : you know , i have a car downstairs . i would love to drive her home . hey , how would you like to go really fast with daddy , huh ? josslyn : yay ! carly : no ! jax : let 's go speed demon ! carly : no ! do n't say `` yeah . `` that 's not safe . sonny : so this whole thing is about jax somehow ? jason : well , dr. keenan is an australian who immigrated to alaska , just like jax . he shows up in the same town at the same time jax 's daughter and ex - wife are given a mysterious injection . you think that 's a coincidence ? elizabeth : ewen , i 'm -- i 'm sorry . this is -- this is happening really fast . ewen : i 've been thinking about you for months -- ever since that -- that first night on spoon island when i saved your life . elizabeth : and i 'm -- i 'm so grateful , and you know that . ewen : i do n't want your gratitude . elizabeth : uh ... mm . ewen , i -- i 'm sorry . i ... i really care about you -- i do . i 'm ... just not ready to sleep with you . ewen : you 're holding back ? elizabeth : well , usually when i jump into a relationship , it does n't work . ewen : elizabeth , we ca n't dwell on the past mistakes , right ? we need to have the courage to move forward and -- and live in the present . elizabeth : i - i know . and i agree , but i think -- i think this could be good , if we just take our time . ewen : and what if -- what if this is all the time we have ? luke : you would do that for me ? you 'd let me use your jet ? tracy : well , strictly speaking , it 's not my jet . it is the elq jet , and , yes , i will ... let you use it . i think it 's a fool 's errand , but ... i can see how concerned you are for anna , and i 'm not gon na be able to stop you from going , so ... you might as well ride in style . luke : i know you do n't want to hear this ... but , tracy , it always seems like you come through when i really need you . tracy : does that translate as always being a sucker ? luke : this was important to me . i thank you so much . tracy : just do n't scratch the seats . they 're corinthian leather . jerry : so we 're clear ? 2 : 00 a.m. at the port charles reservoir . joe jr. : and you 're 1,000 % sure you can protect me ? jerry : you have my word . joe jr. : that supposed to make me feel better ? jerry : you want to go back to prison ? i thought not . joe jr. : mm . oh , what did i get myself into ? [ cell phone beeps ] joe jr. : it 's about time i heard from you , trey . `` made it . i 'm on the plane . all systems go . `` [ breathes deeply ] at least one of us is safe . michael : starr , look at this . starr : yeah ! ticket hub . see ? i told you they went to the movies together . michael : look again . they 're airline tickets . trey and kristina are going to las vegas ... tonight . sonny : kate sees dr. keenan almost every day . i 've seen firsthand how much he 's helped her . i 'm not defending the guy , but i just need proof before i disrupt the treatment . spinelli : there is nothing untoward in his past that we 've found . jason : maybe we just have n't found it yet . i need you to stay on keenan . elizabeth : mm . ewen . [ chuckles ] all right , i just have to ... stop for a minute . ewen : does this have anything to do with jason ? elizabeth : what ? this is -- this is about me and -- and what i 'm comfortable with . ewen : sorry . i 'm ... obviously upset . the last thing i wanted to do was to make you feel uncomfortable . elizabeth : i just want to slow things down just a tad . ewen : of course . whatever works for you . elizabeth : where are you going ? ewen : uh , leave you in peace . elizabeth : you 've kind of had a lot to drink . ewen : i 'll be fine . elizabeth : you know i 'm sensitive to drunk driving . ewen : i 'll just get a cab . elizabeth : ewen . [ chuckles ] stay on my couch . ewen : you sure ? elizabeth : oh , i 'm not afraid of you . and , in fact , i 'm really glad that you 're willing to give this time . ewen : well , i 've waited this long , you know ? i 'm sure i can wait a little longer . jason : i want you to go to alaska , spinelli . spinelli : a - alaska ? like `` i can see russia from here `` alaska ? sonny : he 's gon na do the investigation ? do you think he can do it ? jason : if there 's anything to find , he 's gon na find it . spinelli : well , is there anything in particular you want me to look for ? jason : yeah , any connection between dr. keenan and jax . spinelli : okay , well , if there is a link , beyond geographic proximity , it could be hard to trace . business records only tell part of the story . they could have socialized -- i do n't know -- have the same ex - girlfriends . sonny : stop yapping , okay ? find out if keenan is involved with jax in any way before kate gets hurt or anybody else gets sick . [ breathes deeply ] jax : you want to see daddy do a magic trick ? watch this . open sesame ! [ beep ] jax : [ gasps ] look at that ! carly : [ chuckles ] jax : how 'd you like to go for a swim , huh ? carly : uh , well , i told her she could n't go swimming . jax : no , no , the pediatrician said it 's fine to take her for a swim . you , uh , want to join us ? carly : yeah . w - why not ? josslyn : yay ! carly : yay ! it 's been a long time since we 've been swimming together . jax : yeah . josslyn : yay ! jerry : it 's already in motion . the situation will be resolved in the next three days . if you violate our agreement , i will come after you , and , as you know , i will have nothing to lose .

'cause you , connie -- or is -- is it kate ? which -- which do you prefer ? guess it does n't really matter , 'cause the damage is the same . connie : please . you do n't want to do anything -- aj : you know , this all started with you . and this is gon na end with you . right here and right now . olivia : that means something . it -- it means something about our granddaughter that that puppy 's showing up again . sonny : what are you talking -- why are you -- a dog ? what are you talking about ? olivia : the dog in the poster ! the -- okay . it changed . sonny : it -- the poster ? olivia : yes . sonny , i - i 'm telling you . i was looking at the poster , and it was a picture of a little wolf baby dog , and it said , `` i want my mommy . `` sonny : were you having one of your visions ? olivia : i guess it must be . sonny : maybe you 're just wound up because of your granddaughter was -- olivia : no . i 'm not wound up . i 'm telling you , i looked at the poster , and i saw a little dog -- a little baby wolf dog , and it said , `` i want my mommy . `` and it 's got to mean something about our granddaughter . sonny : it means nothing . our granddaughter 's healthy right now . we saw her . it 's not a dog . olivia : okay , it 's not exactly a dog . it 's like -- it 's some little wolf puppy or something . like i said , it 's like some kind of little wild animal that i do n't know what the name of it is . sonny : a dingo like in the movies ? olivia : not a dingo . it 's something else . sonny : okay . whatever it is , olivia , it 's gone . olivia : okay , look . when i saw the dog before , it was when maxie was first pregnant with the baby , right ? and then she tripped over that dog on new year 's eve . remember that ? sonny : and you have n't seen it since ? olivia : no . and so that 's what i thought it was . i - i - i thought it was just meaning that maxie was gon na trip over the puppy . [ sighs ] so why is this little wolf dog showing up again now ? and why is it asking for its mommy ? lulu : jackalyn reminds you of spinelli ? dante : yeah , well , that was -- that was his nickname -- the jackal . that -- he had it in his logo for his p.i . firm . lulu : right , right . i do n't know . dante : no , i do . i think we pass on that name , 'cause i do n't want to think of spinelli every time i look at my daughter . spinelli : ellie , i - i realize that i 've been -- i 've been too focused on maxie -- filling in for dante at childbirth class , sitting vigil at her labor -- yes , i - i - i overstepped , and you 're right to point that out , but i 'm not delusional . i do n't -- i do n't think that adorable little child is mine . ellie : damian , please , just listen to me . i 'm not speaking metaphorically about this child being yours . i 'm talking empirically , scientifically , biologically . maxie lost dante and lulu 's baby . and the baby that she 's been carrying this entire time ... is yours . spinelli : but that 's not possible . ellie : yes , it is possible . do n't you remember what happened on new year 's eve ? damian , you had intercourse with maxie . and she conceived your baby . dr. chu : your daughter will recover . felicia : oh , thank god . mac : what happened ? we -- we were told maxie had a routine c - section , and the baby 's been in nicu for over an hour . are you saying maxie 's been in the o.r . all this time ? dr. chu : i 'm sorry that no one was able to come out here and brief you , but it was all hands on deck . your daughter hemorrhaged . we almost lost her . felicia : but she 'll be all right . you just said she 'd recover . dr. chu : oh , yeah . we were able to stabilize maxie and stop the bleeding .

'cause i - i could n't possibly be this strong ? huh ? i could n't possibly take some action ? what did you think ? did you think i was just gon na let you ruin me ? see , everyone always thinks they can just walk all over me , you know , and just get away with it and i 'm not gon na fight back , especially you . connie : i do n't think that . aj : yeah , you do . you do , huh ? you know , what did you think -- you could print a story like that and i 'm just -- just gon na slink away like i always do , huh ? well , no more ! no more . not this time . no . this is the last time anyone messes with me . dr. chu : maxie lost a lot of blood , but she 'll be okay . felicia : when can we see her ? dr. chu : uh , they 'll be taking her down to recovery in a few minutes . you can see her there . they 've sedated her , so she 'll be groggy . mac : well , as long as she 's all right , that 's all that matters . dr. chu : what -- what maxie did for her friends -- carrying that baby for them -- was truly heroic . you have an amazing daughter . mac : thank you . dr. chu : yeah . felicia : if she 's amazing , it 's because of you . [ sniffles ] mac : you 're absolutely right . felicia : [ laughs ] mac : come on . let 's go see our girl . felicia : okay . spinelli : yes , on -- on new year 's eve , maxie and i , we -- ellie : ... were together . spinelli : but you told me yourself that she conspired with dr. westbourne -- that they implanted a second of dante and lulu 's embryos so that maxie would not have to tell them that they lost the first . ellie : i know what i told you . and that was maxie 's plan , but ... when she approached dr. westbourne , they discovered that maxie was already pregnant ... with your baby . spinelli : so no imp -- no implantation , then ? because she ... oh , my god . [ chuckles ] [ voice breaking ] that 's my daughter ? that little -- that little bundle i had in my arms was mine ? [ crying ] ellie , i - i 've -- i 've never felt anything like this . never . it 's -- ellie : it 's huge . spinelli : it 's incredible . i -- it 's -- it 's beyond the realm of comprehension . i - i do n't understand . what -- why did n't maxie tell me ? ellie : she was determined for you never to know . she did n't tell a soul . the only people who were in on the secret were herself and -- and dr. westbourne . spinelli : and , apparently , you . olivia : ... our granddaughter . sonny : stop pushing all the buttons . we 're already going down . what are you doing ? olivia : i ca n't wait , sonny ! i got to get back to that baby . [ motor whirring ] [ motor stops ] olivia : what floor are we on ? and why are n't the doors opening ? sonny : because we 're stuck . alexis : i 'm very sorry that i yelled at you the other day about you bumping the story off the front page . sam : yeah , does it seem opportunistic that i would like to apologize now that you 're , um , a match ? derek : please , i really felt terrible about having to bump the article . that 's why i came to get tested . alexis : out of guilt or because it was a gesture ? derek : gesture ? what do you mean gesture ? alexis : no , no , no . i - i 'm just trying to -- to find out if you 're actually gon na go through with this and let dr. clay take your bone marrow and give it to danny . derek : ms. david , i never would have gotten tested if i were n't willing to donate . alexis : it 's a fairly difficult surgery . derek : i 'm committed , no matter what it takes . i 'm just still amazed that i 'm a match . sam : now there 's a front - page story for you . the man who ... ran a story about the donor drive -- he has enough of the same dna to save a little boy 's life ! derek : i 'm -- okay , i 'm just , um ... happy to help . alexis : thank you , mr. wells . michael : what ? your -- your dad 's missing ? kiki : sorry , franco . it 's -- yeah , he escaped from the hospital without anyone noticing . michael : well , have you called the cops ? kiki : morgan 's at the station . i just came here to check to see if he came home . no such luck , and i just really hope he does n't hurt himself or someone else . michael : yeah . i 'm hoping the same thing about aj connie : look , aj , i 'm -- i 'm sorry . i do n't know what else to say . i regret that the story had such a negative impact on your life . aj : ne - negative impact ? connie : i swear on my life i never meant to hurt you . and i 'm gon na do whatever i can to make amends . so let 's just figure out a way to make it better . sonny : connie ? are you there ? i was -- i was on my way to see you . can you hear me ? connie : put the gun down , aj marching into my office with a gun is no way to settle this . so let 's talk it out and see what we can do . sonny : connie , can you -- look , i 'm , uh -- i 'm stuck in an elevator . connie , can you hear me ? aj : who the hell 's that ? what is that ? connie : it 's nothing . aj : who is that ? connie : it 's the metro court terrace . it happens sometimes . sonny : all right , listen . i 'm gon na get out of this elevator , and then i 'm gon na come see you . aj : [ chuckles ] oh , connie . connie , what are you gon na do now , huh ? huh ? sonny 's not gon na come rescue you this time . sonny 's not the big man with the big gun ! huh ? damian . but i - i just -- i could n't shake the feeling that something was wrong and maxie was keeping a secret . i was afraid that -- that there was something wrong with the baby . so ... i investigated . [ sighs ] and i tricked you into helping me hack into maxie 's medical records . that 's when i discovered that maxie miscarried . and i - i confronted her about it , but , of course , she denied it , so i - i threatened to go to the lab and check dante and lulu 's remaining embryos , and that 's when she confessed ... [ sighs ] that you were the father . spinelli : you told me it was dante and lulu 's baby . ellie : i lied . spinelli : why ? why would you lie to me ? lulu : we love spinelli , but we do n't want daddy thinking of him every time he looks at you . dante : no . let 's get to know this little angel a little bit better . we 'll come up with the right name . lulu : i know a name that wo n't work . georgie . maxie : mom . felicia : right here , sweetheart . we are so proud of you . mac : yeah . you came through with flying colors . maxie : wh - where 's georgie ? mac : what do you mean , honey ? maxie : i was with her . georgie was here . lulu : what are we gon na name you , little miss ? maxie wanted us to call you georgie after her sister , but we told her that she should save that name for her own little girl . still , i 'm sure that georgie sounds familiar . i know that maxie 's been calling you that for the last few weeks . dante : you were worried she was getting a little too attached to her ? lulu : i was worried about a lot of things , from the size of our apartment to what baby clothes we should buy . i was especially worried about maxie 's pregnancy heels that were only 3 inches high . this is her idea of sensible . and while i know that you are too sweet and supportive to call me out on it , we both know that i bring new meaning to the words `` control freak `` when it comes to her . dante : i think you 're just being a conscientious mother . if you felt that maxie was getting too attached to her , then that 's probably what was happening . do you think that 's gon na be a problem going forward ? felicia : sweetheart , there was a problem with the delivery . you had a c - section , and then you hemorrhaged . mac : you fought hard . you fought hard , but you came back to us . maxie : but georgie -- she -- she showed me ... mac : maxie , maxie , they gave you a lot of pain killers , okay ? you might be a little confused for a while . maxie : no , no . it 's okay . i remember . i - i came back for my baby . where is she ? where 's my baby ? olivia : something could be wrong with our grandbaby , and i ca n't warn anyone , 'cause we 're stuck in the damn elevator . sonny : olivia , can you get a signal ? i got to -- i got to call connie back . olivia : i got nothing . i got nothing , but you 're more than welcome to try . sonny : there 's got to be a help button here . olivia : i already tried that , sonny . sonny : well , they have to answer . 'cause they ca n't leave us locked in here like this . open the damn door ! olivia : okay . we 're stuck between floors , sonny . the doors are not going to open , but we 're in a hospital . okay ? so it wo n't take them very long to understand -- sonny : olivia . olivia . if they do n't open -- if they do n't open the door , i 'm gon na freak out . you know that . get me out of here ! michael : yeah , i do n't -- i do n't know if i told you this or not , but ... [ sighs ] aj 's an alcoholic . kiki : i did n't know . michael : yeah , he was pretty bad . you know , he was in and out of rehab when he was younger , and he was in some pretty bad accidents . and he 's been sober ever since he 's been back , or , well , at least i - i thought that he was . kiki : you think he 's been drinking this whole time without you knowing ? michael : i - i hope not . i just -- he has n't been acting any differently or anything like that , it 's just -- only until recently . elizabeth found him at the floating rib getting completely hammered , and -- and she tried to get him to come home . he turned on her . he got vicious , so she -- she took his keys and she , uh -- she took off . kiki : she took his keys so he 's not driving . that 's -- that 's good . that 's something . michael : yeah . the bartender said that he called for a cab , and the company records show that he was dropped off here . but when i got here , all i found was a bottle and the paper with your -- your headline in it . kiki : i was there the day of the vote . i saw how much elq meant to aj , and now he 's lost it because of me . michael : no , it 's not -- it 's not your fault , okay ? aj was outmaneuvered , that 's all . it 's just if it was any other job , any other company , aj would have been okay . it 's just that elq was like his -- his symbol . you know , his -- his chance to prove that he was just as good as the rest of the quartermaines . even though the quartermaines are n't all that great . kiki : some of them are . michael : anyway , um , the loss much have been too much for aj , and ... the safe 's pen . kiki : do you think that could have been aj ? michael : i do n't know what he -- i do n't know what he 'd want from the safe . aj : you thought you could screw me over , did n't you ? huh ? you thought wrong . connie : [ crying ] aj , please , please . you do n't want to do this , okay ? think of michael -- what it would do to him . he loves you . aj : michael loves sonny ! connie : he loves you , too . aj : no , why would he ? why would he love me , huh ? everybody 's told him from the time he was little that i was a loser and a drunk and i was n't fit to be his father . you -- you prove them all right . huh ? you destroyed everything that i built . you took away the last chance i had with my son . oh , no -- oh , oh , i 'm sorry . i mean -- i mean sonny 's son . michael corinthos iii just rolls off the tongue , does n't it ? you know , he was even named after sonny . did you know that ? considers him his father , huh ? he loves him . he 's proud of him . [ scoffs ] he thinks that sonny 's a big man . and he thinks i 'm nothing . because of you . connie : no . you are wrong about that , aj you can fix this . you can . aj : you -- you told me that i did n't have the guts to get payback . connie : what ? i never said that . aj : yeah . connie : i would never say that . i do n't feel that way . aj : no , that 's exactly what you said , and you believe it , too . otherwise , you would n't have written that article . yeah , you dared me to get payback for destroying my life . well , guess what , bitch ? it 's payback time . connie : aj , please . please do n't . michael : there 's money , some old jewelry , documents . i still do n't understand what aj would want with any of this . kiki : maybe it had to do with elq or the will or the charter . he 's probably trying to fight the takeover . michael : yeah , maybe . kiki : or if he 's that wasted , he could be thinking anything . i do n't know . michael : yeah , that 's exactly why i need to find him . he 's out there right now completely drunk thinking that he lost everything . kiki : i get that . well , i know that franco is n't wasted , but he did just have brain surgery . and he lost a daughter that he never really had . michael : yeah . anything could happen to either of them . kiki : i 'm really scared , michael . michael : yeah . me , too . sonny : olivia , i 'm starting to feel -- i 'm starting to freak out right now . olivia : okay . sonny . look at me . look at me . okay ? hey , hey , hey ! hey ! look at me . look in my eyes . sonny , it 's okay . sonny : i got to get out of here . olivia : it 's okay . you 're gon na be okay . it 's okay . just look at me . sonny : no , i do n't know . olivia : look at me . okay ? i 'm here . sonny : i 'm feeling trapped here . olivia : i understand . sonny : you know what happens . olivia : yes , i do . i understand . sonny : [ breathing rapidly ] olivia : sonny , it 's okay . just stay with me and look into my eyes and breathe . you 're gon na be okay , sonny . sonny : i know . i just got to get out of her . olivia : listen to me . listen to me ! sonny . deke is not here right now . that 's son of a bitch is dead and gone and he 's buried and you are safe . you are safe here with me . it 's just you and me here . and you know you can trust me , right ? you know that . sonny : [ sniffles ] olivia : you know that , right ? sonny : yeah . olivia : okay . so stay with me . look in my eyes . i am gon na get you through this . you can do it . okay ? okay . alexis : i am sorry . i barely know you . [ chuckles ] derek : no need to apologize . it 's always flattering to be hugged by a beautiful woman . alexis : yeah , uh , well , i 'm just really -- we 're really grateful to you . uh , not that there 's any guarantee , because we 've been warned by the doctor that , uh , even if there is a match , that danny 's going to have to go through a long process , and there are ri -- which is -- you 've just really improved the odds tremendously . sam : yeah . we -- we ca n't thank you enough . you 're giving danny a fighting chance . derek : well , i just hope that my bone marrow works . although , um , i probably should warn you , um ... your son might grow up to love fast cars and single- barrel bourbon . sam : [ chuckles ] i really do n't care what he grows up to love as long as i see him grow up . i did n't -- i did n't think this was gon na be an option until you . derek : listen , how -- how can i help this , uh , go as fast as possible ? alexis : does dr. clay even know there 's a donor ? sam : uh ... i do n't know . i do n't know . i should probably go and tell him , though . i can not wait for you to meet him , mr. wells . derek : hey , if your son 's gon na be using my bone marrow , i think it 's time you start calling me derek . sam : okay , well , thank you , derek . alexis : [ sighs ] so , uh , i get the feeling that you do n't want us to make a fuss over you . derek : [ chuckles ] well , let 's just say that you can , um , thank me by keeping this low - key . alexis : oh , yeah . yeah , of course . um , i mean , you do n't see this from my behavior , but i - i like things understated as well . derek : and i - i ca n't even imagine how hard this has been for you , though . alexis : it 's been really hard . i mean , the hardest part is -- is there 's so many ups and downs and , uh , you know , things soar and then they plummet . we actually had a donor , and , uh , it was a blood relative , and it turned out that he had cancer cells in his brain , and it , uh , made him illegible . derek : [ sighs ] well , that must have been a blow . alexis : it was a blow . uh , sam , of course , was devastated , because we had been through everyone in the family except her -- uh ... derek : except ... ? alexis : [ sighs ] except her father . spinelli : how could you not tell me that maxie was carrying my child ? ellie : damian , i wanted to so bad . but maxie begged me not to say anything . she was ashamed that she lost the first baby , and she was so afraid of disappointing dante and lulu . they were so invested in the baby . she told me they 'd be devastated , and i believed her . so i collaborated with maxie to keep it a secret . spinelli : ellie , you barely know them . and ... i 'm supposed to be the person you love . why would you not tell me that i had a child ? ! ellie : i 'm sorry ! spinelli : okay , stop apologizing and just give me -- give me a reason that i can understand . how -- how could you not tell me ? how could you deny me my own child ? how could you keep something so momentous , so life - changing from the person that you say you love ? ! ellie : [ crying ] because i was afraid of losing you . lulu : i 'm not really sure where maxie is on her attachment to our little miss , but i 'm thinking that now that she 's not carrying the baby , she 's letting go . dante : i hope so . lulu : i know maxie . she 'll be fine . maxie : where 's my little girl ? felicia : she 's with lulu and dante . and she 's absolutely perfect . mac : maxie , you did an amazing job carrying the baby for them , but right now , you 've lost a lot of blood and you 're confused . maxie : no , no . i remember . i saw her . she 's beautiful . felicia : everyone says that she 's beautiful and wonderful , and you 've been an amazing surrogate . mac : but maxie , the baby belongs to dante and lulu . maxie : no . no , she does n't . she 's mine . derek : are you telling me that , um , sam 's father refused to get tested ? alexis : no . uh , i 'm telling you that sam 's father did n't get tested because i - i do n't know who he is . derek : sam 's adopted . alexis : no . i only knew sam 's father for one night . derek : oh , gosh . i 'm -- i 'm so sorry . you -- you do n't need to give me an explanation . alexis : uh , it 's okay . um , i did n't , uh , remember much about sam 's father until danny got sick , and then i - i remembered that i met him in new hampshire . derek : new hampshire ? really ? i , uh -- [ chuckles ] i do n't know why that i thought you were from new york . alexis : no , i - i worked in new york for several years . i went to school in new hampshire -- a boarding school . derek : which , uh -- which school was that ? alexis : briarton - griggs . it 's an all - girls school . derek : oh . alexis : uh , and then i remembered something else about him . i remember his name . you know , it was n't a common name like tom or mike . it was more unique than that . derek : so , what was his name since it was n't , uh , tom or mike ? alexis : julian . michael : i miss you . [ cell phone rings ] kiki : i - i have to take this . morgan ? no . no , franco is n't here . okay , yeah . uh , i 'll be there soon . thank you . i have to go , michael . morgan 's waiting for me . michael : kiki . do you believe morgan ? kiki : i asked him , point blank , and he denied it . michael : and that 's enough for you ? kiki : i married him , michael . i made a vow to him . i have to make this work . michael : that 's exactly what morgan 's counting on . kiki : morgan 's a good husband , okay ? i was at the hospital , and he was there for me when i really needed him . morgan 's good to me . and i have to be good to him , too . sonny : yeah , thanks . olivia : you okay now ? sonny : yeah , i 'm better . uh , 'cause of you . olivia : yeah ? sonny : i 'm , uh -- olivia : do n't say it . you do n't have to say anything . i understand . connie 's in your heart . she 's your girl . that 's okay . we are ... us . you know , and we got our son and we got a beautiful granddaughter now . sonny : olivia falconeri , you 're one hell of a woman . olivia : even though i got us stuck in this dumb elevator ? [ door opens ] sonny : i 'll be damned . olivia : i told you they 'd get us out of here . sonny : [ groans ] olivia : [ sighs ] sonny : [ sighs ] olivia : you see that ? look at you . sonny : yeah ? olivia : good as new . get out of here . go find my cousin , okay ? sonny : you sure ? olivia : i 'm positive . i 'm gon na go check on our grandbaby and make sure that that dog i saw was n't trying to warn us about anything . sonny : yeah . make sure you take the stairs , 'cause that 's what i 'm gon na do . olivia : i 'm gon na risk it , okay ? i promise i 'll only press one button at a time . sonny : thank you . maxie : where is she ? felicia : sweetheart , i know how hard this has been , carrying her all these months , all the pain that you 've suffered , but that little girl is lulu and dante 's biological child . mac : they created her , and you did an incredible job . but the baby does n't belong to you . they 're her parents . maxie : no . she 's mine . and i want her . mac : okay , maxie . you need to calm down , please . maxie : n - no . i - i want my baby . felicia : i 'm calling a doctor . mac : that 's a good idea . sweetheart , please , calm down . maxie : no ! you 're not listening to me . she is mine -- my baby -- mine and spinelli 's . spinelli : you were afraid of losing me ? so you lied to me about my own child ? ! ellie : damian , you were in love with maxie for years . and when she finally decided that she loved you , too , if you had n't been with me , you 'd have gone back to her . i mean , you slept with her when you thought that i broke up with you . spinelli : i thought you forgave me . ellie : i did forgive you . but i did n't forget . and then i told you that i did n't want children , and we argued bitterly . so when maxie revealed that you were the father of her child , i could n't help but wonder how long it would take before you left me for her and -- and for your child . spinelli : [ sniffles ] that 's why you told me you 'd reconsider having a family . ellie : [ crying ] spinelli : you told me you were willing to have a baby because you loved me . but that was n't it at all , was it ? it was because of your guilt . because you were allowing dante and lulu to take my child and raise it as their own . ellie : damian , i wanted to tell you . spinelli : but you did n't , did you ? ! lulu : i do n't think i 've ever been happier . dante : me neither . spinelli : [ muffled ] oh , my god , ellie ! how could you do this to me ? ! god , i do n't -- i feel like i do n't even know you at all ! ellie : no ! do n't say that . i -- spinelli : do n't touch me ! [ door opens ] dante : hey , what the hell 's going on out here ? derek : sam -- sam 's father 's name is julian ? you 're certain about that ? alexis : i 'm positive . derek : hmm . alexis : i was n't until , uh , my daughter suggested that i - i get hypnotized . derek : hyp -- hypnosis ? alexis : yes . [ chuckles ] i was a skeptic , but not anymore . it turns out i was an easy subject -- went out just like that , and , uh , i remember the car . i remember the song that was playing , and i remember his friend knocked on the window and called him julian . we 're taking off . you hear me , julian ? alexis : derek . you okay ? uh ... [ chuckles ] maxie : what are you doing ? no ! no . where 's my baby ? dr. chu : the sedative should take effect any moment . she needs her rest . maxie : no , i want my baby . she 's mine . and spinelli is her father . dante : we can hear yelling inside the room . what are you -- what -- the baby 's sleeping . ellie : i 'm so sorry . lulu : so what 's the problem ? what on earth are you two fighting about ? spinelli : we were fighting about the baby . michael : aj , where are you ? look , i 'm at the house . just -- just come home , please . aj : [ panting ] michael : aj , what 's going on ? where have you been ? sonny : connie ? you there ? connie . you in there ? olivia : oh , god . oh , god . what is that ?
olivia sees the puppy asking for its mommy on a poster in the hospital elevator . she short circuits the elevator when she bangs on all the buttons , causing it to stop between floors . lulu suggests that they name their daughter jacqueline . dante says that name reminds him of spinelli 's nickname , the jackal and that he does n't want to think of spinelli when he looks at his daughter . she suggests that they name their daughter georgie since maxie had been calling her that . dante recalls that lulu thought maxie was getting too attached to the baby and wonders if she foresees a problem in the future . lulu thinks maxie will be fine now that she is n't pregnant . maxie wakes up in recovery and tells her parents that her sister , georgie , told her to come back for her baby . when she asks where her baby is , they tell her that she is with her parents , dante and lulu . she says it 's her baby with spinelli . dr. chu sedates her . ellie tells spinelli that he and maxie are dante and lulu 's baby 's biological parents . she explains that maxie was never implanted with a second embryo because she was already pregnant from having sex with him on new years eve . spinelli is dumbfounded and elated , but at the same time he is furious that ellie lied to him . she says maxie begged her not to tell and she complied because she was afraid to lose him to maxie and her baby . dante and lulu go out into the hallway when they hear spinelli yelling at ellie . lulu asks what they are fighting about . spinelli says they are fighting about the baby .
sonny : is kiki okay ? you got her in the car already ? morgan : yeah , yeah . no sign of that creep that had his hands all over her . sonny : you know what ? you stepped in to defend kiki . you did n't let it get out of control . you should be very proud of yourself . morgan : thank you , dad . yeah , i just -- i wish i would have had control in the first place , rather than had to pull it back , you know ? sonny : what that guy did would have pissed off anybody . you did have control . being bipolar , everybody acts differently . and -- it 's played you dirty , and you 're fighting back . morgan : i 'm -- i 'm trying , dad . sonny : you 're winning . you got ta understand something . you 're not alone . look , i 've told you how many times ? morgan : i know . sonny : you got your family , and we 're all behind you . morgan : i know , and i appreciate it . i just do n't want to let everybody down again , you know ? sonny : you just got to do what you got to do . you know what i mean ? with the therapy and the medication , you got nothing to worry about .

[ scene_break ] nina : the theory is that valentin was here to kidnap spencer , but nothing 's been proved . franco : so you think this guy is innocent . nina : oh , no , i do n't . i think he 's guilty . [ clears throat ] he 's done a lot of horrible things . i mean , at least , that 's what he told me when i went to visit him at the pcpd . franco : you visited him while he was in lockup ? nina : mm - hmm . um , he was awaiting extradition to greece . i was there 'cause julian needed to sign some papers . franco : yeah , no , i 'm sure . i 'm sure . nina : yeah , and i just wanted to see his face . i did n't want to apologize , but i just wanted to see his face when i told him that i was the reason that he got arrested . i thought he 'd be furious , but he told me that it was his own fault for leaving something back that was incriminating . and he was so careless because he was just dazzled by me . franco : and there 's a possibility that maybe he was working you ? nina : no , he was n't working me . i was n't part of his plan . he did n't know he was going to meet me . we met , and we clicked . but now he 's been extradited to greece , and it 's over . [ sighs , knocks table , clears throat ] he 's gon na be in prison for the rest of his life . franco : and you 're not sorry you met this guy ? nina : no , i 'm not sorry at all , not one bit . maybe i should be , but i 'm not . franco : [ scoffs ] nina : how -- how are you and elizabeth ? franco : well ... every time i think we 're gon na get close , i somehow manage to become more of myself and say something really stupid and scare her or i get hauled off to the pcpd . she gets scared and backs off , and we have to start all over again , so ... basically we 're in limbo , which sucks . go ahead . gloat now . feel free to -- nina : i 'm not gon na gloat .

[ scene_break ] campbell : so , just to be clear , when olivia jerome first came to port charles , you two hid out in her store ? rudge : yes , that 's correct . although , she did most of the hiding . i ran the pawn shop up front . campbell : and carried out whatever orders she might give ? rudge : not a very noble way to earn a paycheck , but yes . campbell : were you present at her first meeting with the defendant ? rudge : no , i was n't , but she told me that he was willing to do anything that she needed . scott : objection , your honor ! it 's hearsay ! judge chua : overruled . you 'll have your chance to cross - examine the witness . scott : boy , am i looking forward to it . campbell : but you did eventually meet the defendant . rudge : yes , multiple occasions . campbell : do you remember the first occasion ? rudge : yes . julian came by the store for a lengthy conference with olivia to lay out their future plans and how best to achieve them . julian : oh , my god , he 's so lying . rudge : at the time , i was n't privy to the information . campbell : then how can you be sure they were working together ? rudge : well , firstly , the way they spoke to each other -- they were very conspiratorial . and secondly , after julian departed , olivia assured me that they were both on the same page as to how to proceed . scott : objection , your honor . the witness has no proof that this meeting even took place . campbell : your honor , we know that mr. rudge and the defendant were close associates . i refer the court to page 27 of the deposition given by alexis davis . she states that she met mr. rudge when he came to her home as a friend of the defendant . ms. davis testified she allowed them to speak privately . after mr. rudge left , ms. davis felt the defendant was unsettled and on - edge , but when ms. davis expressed concern , the defendant insisted mr. rudge was just a friend . scott : objection , your honor . relevance ! campbell : either the defendant did , in fact , consider mr. rudge a friend , or once again , the defendant was lying to ms. davis . [ scene_break ] jason : sam , uh , you do n't have to do this right now . sam : yes , i do . when i got to the site , sonny was faced off with garvey . carly : so garvey never shot you ? sonny : no , he did . he just hit the kevlar vest . carly : but the one in the leg ... sam : he was amazing , carly . you ... were amazing . here i was with a gun in my hand saying the craziest things , and you were so ... sympathetic . he was sympathetic to me . oh ... god , i 'm really starting to remember everything now . you ... you tried to talk me down . you said that you would never do anything to hurt me or my family . carly : because he would n't . sam : of course , he would n't , but i did n't know , carly . i was n't thinking clearly . carly : so what happened ? you just ... aimed and fired ? sam : sonny tried to convince me to stop and ... he started to walk toward me . carly : because you did n't believe that she would go through with it . sam : no , why would he ? it was me . sonny : that 's got to show you how sick she was . carly : yeah , i get that . i do . i 'm just , you know , trying to , um ... understand all this . sam : sonny tried to take the gun out of my hand and it went off . carly : okay , so it was an accident . sam : no . carly : but you just said that ... that ... sam : no , i meant to shoot sonny . and that 's exactly what i did . [ scene_break ] julian : this guy 's lying through his teeth . scott : i know . i will deal with him on my cross . now just sit there and twiddle your thumbs , will you ? campbell : the night you stopped by ms. davis ' home , what did you and the defendant discuss ? rudge : he was pleased that his rival 's son , morgan corinthos , had been killed , and he was eager to help olivia go forward with her plans . julian : oh , my g -- he was threatening me within an inch of my life ! scott : would you take it easy ? campbell : did the defendant know specifically what ms. jerome was planning ? rudge : i ca n't say , as i was never privy to that information . but i do know that he was on board to participate . campbell : and after that , did you have more interactions with the defendant ? rudge : yes , several , and he always seemed to be a willing participant . scott : objection , your honor . speculation . judge chua : sustained . campbell : in the defendant 's deposition , he testified that he tried to kill his sister in order to put an end to her plans . you know anything about this ? rudge : i do , in fact . julian was always concerned about the legal ramifications about his involvement . basically , he wanted to help olivia , but he was afraid of being caught , so they both agreed that if he was , they would say that he had been coerced . campbell : so the attempt to kill ms. jerome ... rudge : never happened . he was always a willing accomplice .

[ laughs ] i do n't have any more imaginary friends . it 's just , uh ... it 's just a memento of a way that i felt a long time ago . elizabeth : it makes total sense . and now that i understand the story behind the painting ... i love it even more . franco : thank you . elizabeth : more importantly ... i love you . franco : ah , that is more important .

elizabeth admires a picture that franco painted and he comes back in the room . elizabeth admits how much she likes it . she thinks it is different than the other ones . franco gets a text from ava . she is letting him have his showing . elizabeth is excited for him . she thinks the one she likes will sell quickly . franco is n't going to sell that one . he admits that he painted it based on a memory he had of when he was a child . he used to have an imaginary friend that lived in an alternate universe than him but was parallel . he used to help him with things growing up such as tying his shoes . he felt like at one point there was a reality to him . elizabeth understands and agrees he should keep it . ned meets alexis at the metro court . he wants to update his will and make leo his son . alexis will not be the lawyer who does that . she thinks it not be fair to julian . she admits she still has feelings for him . she knows she should n't though . ned thinks he knows why . alexis knows it is because her father was a bad man and never loved her so she keeps going after bad men who will . ned promises her things will work out . he kisses her before he leaves .

[ scene_break ] ava : where did you get this make - believe dna test ? ric : that 's a fair question , your honor . ava : thank you . scott : and beside the point . ava : the point is that it 's fake . you dummied up evidence to try to shift the blame from your client . scott : go on , keep denying it , because it 's one more count of perjury coming your way . ava : could you do something ? ric : well , as far as the prosecution is concerned , the guilty party is still sitting at the defense table over there . scott : no , she 's sitting pretty up here on the witness stand . you know what happens to people that swear to tell the truth and they just spew out lies ? ava : this is outrageous . scott : i would like to submit this into evidence . ric : whoa , whoa , whoa , hold on . not before we know where it came from . scott : from general hospital , by trained technicians . ava : how vague . scott : it 's authentic . which is more than i can say for you . [ scene_break ] sam : well , i 've got to hand it to julian . i think it 'd be really hard to focus at work with those kind of charges hanging over your head . alexis : yeah , well , unfortunately , he 's not a stranger to these kind of situations . sam : i 'm just kind of surprised he would find much to do at the paper at this hour . alexis : you are , are you ? sam : yeah . did he say what was so important ? alexis : no , he did n't . maybe there 's a bloodbath in arts and entertainment . or the copywriters are revolting because of the oxford comma . sam : oh , okay . alexis : you should really investigate . sam : i get it . obviously this is a touchy subject . alexis : mm - hmm . obviously you think your father is up to something . sam : do n't you ? alexis : he swore to me he left the mob , and i swore to him that i believed him . sam : okay . um ... well , good thing it 's just you and me now . alexis : and our friend cabernet . sam : do you believe him ? [ scene_break ] philly : he 's unarmed . sonny : thank you , philly . um ... i 'll let you know if i need anything . you go ahead and go . are n't you violating your bail associating with the likes of me ? julian : actually , i am . sonny : oh , then it must be important . what do i owe this honor ? oh , hold on . let me guess . yo you 're soliciting donations for your legal - defense fund . or you 're here to protest your innocence . or maybe ... ... maybe you just decided to confess your sins . julian : [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] alexis : do i believe julian ? how about you go first . do you believe him ? sam : me ? um ... well , i have n't seen him since his arrest , so i do n't know his side of the story . alexis : so you think there 's two sides of the story ? sam : yeah . are n't there always ? alexis : okay . so , you think he 's capable of lying to everyone ... sam : [ scoffs ] alexis : ... and , uh , gunning for sonny ? sam : i think he 's capable of anything , mom . this is julian we 're talking about . we know exactly what he 's done and what he has n't done . i mean , this is the man that used my child as a shield against sonny . alexis : [ sighs ] that was bad . sam : yeah . alexis : do you think that he would ever do that again ? i do n't . i know he loves danny . sam : no , i know he loves danny , too . i agree . he has come a long way since he first got to town . alexis : see , that 's the question that 'll always be there . how long of a way ? sam : if you 're looking for a guarantee that julian is telling you the truth , i - i ca n't give you that . but i do n't think anyone can . maybe -- maybe he ca n't even . alexis : so , all i 've got are my instincts . sam : yeah . alexis : which are not very dependable . or i just go on faith , and i 'm not very good at that . sam : well [ sighs ] you 're not gon na do that anyway . and this ... this does n't mean that julian 's not telling you the truth . what do your instincts say ? alexis : my instincts say that he 's telling me the truth . so i 'm an idiot . sam : no . far from it . it does look bad for julian , with this guy they 've got in custody saying that he 's his boss . julian 's saying that 's not true . so if i keep second - guessing everything he says , i 'm gon na drive myself insane . so i 'm just going to trust him until he proves otherwise . no matter what sonny says . [ scene_break ] julian : [ chuckles ] so , you want me to -- you want me to confess to being back in the business . sonny : well , technically , to never leaving . and as a gesture of goodwill , i wo n't say anything . julian : that 's big of you . sonny : yeah , well , the cops wo n't have to know , alexis wo n't have to know . but here 's the thing . [ clears throat ] we 're gon na have a new understanding . julian : oh , well , thank you . and , uh , so what 's our new understanding ? sonny : from then on ... julian : mm - hmm ? sonny : ... you report to me . julian : [ laughs ] so , i 'll -- i 'll be kissing your ring , huh ? sonny : if that 's what you want to call it . julian : mm - hmm . sonny : you know , confess your sins and all will be forgiven . and then , 'cause i 'm a nice guy , i 'll do something else for you . i 'll take care of your loyalty problem . julian : loyalty problem . i was n't aware i had a loyalty problem . sonny : no ? what about the rat at the pcpd ? the one who rolled on you to the cops ? i will exterminate him free of charge . julian : you are a son of a bitch . i knew it . it was you all along . you set me up . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : so , do you want this ? dr. obrecht : nein . i got what i needed out of it . good afternoon , herr baldwin . scott : chief obrecht ? dr. obrecht : i need to see you . scott : i - i ca n't talk right now . my son 's trial is taking a beating . morgan corinthos just testified that franco tried to kill him with the same knife he used on dr. clay . dr. obrecht : that 's not good . scott : you think ? i 've got to get back in and try and save his life . dr. obrecht : then i suggest you get to the hospital immediately . scott : you 're not listening . franco is in big trouble . dr. obrecht : and i have information to get him out of it . elizabeth : are you sure you do n't want to hold onto this ? i can store it for you . dr. obrecht : not necessary . please discard it . elizabeth : okay . dr. obrecht : i 'd rather not have it traced back to me . [ scene_break ] judge chua : enough tap dancing , counselor . divulge the origin of your evidence or move on to another line of questioning . scott : brad cooper , the lab manager at general hospital , ran the tests . judge chua : and the samples ? scott : well , the hospital records will confirm their authenticity . this woman 's dna is identical to that of ava jerome , which means -- ava : which means nothing , your honor . and so what ? so my mother lied about my birth again ? not the first time . probably wo n't be the last . judge chua : what are you implying , ms. demuccio ? scott : ms. jerome . ric : saying it repeatedly does n't necessarily make it true , scott . scott : maybe not , ric . but this will . i 'd like to enter into evidence the dna test that was performed on ms. demuccio in may . it was a blood smear . and then in august , there was a dna test that was a saliva test . and even though they 're from the same person , it does n't match . judge chua : make your point , mr. baldwin . as simply and coherently as possible . scott : apparently , the dna in your hair , skin , and saliva ca n't change . but the dna in your blood can change , especially when you 've received a bone- marrow transplant . and in mrs. jerome 's case , it was from her daughter avery jerome . [ spectators murmur ] kiki : what is he saying ? scott : so , let 's start at the beginning , shall we ? you survived your fall off the port charles bridge , only to be nursed back to life by dr. silas clay , who then discovered that you had cancer . ric : your honor , is counsel asking the witness or is he telling her ? scott : is that a yes or a no ? ava : no . scott : silas then figured out the only way to save your life was through a bone - marrow transplant . ric : again , still not hearing a question . judge chua : i 'll allow it . but get where you 're going , and quick , counselor . scott : dr. clay knew who you were all along , did n't he ? ava : no . scott : and that secret became too much weight on him , and he was gon na tell the world , and the only way to silence him was to murder him . right ? [ scene_break ] sonny : can not believe -- you saying i 'm setting you up ? julian : oh ... this makes sense . sonny : in what universe ? julian : the one where you vowed to avenge duke 's death . sonny : no , you 're the one who ordered the murder . julian : this is payback . sonny : do n't tell me -- julian : you 're painting me as a liar . sonny : no paint required . julian : okay , you hired a plant to put the blame on me , sonny . admit it . sonny : okay , let me guess . you 're saying that i attacked my own organization , had one of my men shot ... julian : yeah . sonny : ... to frame you ? julian : yes . sonny : that 's diabolical . julian : and right up your alley . [ scene_break ] sam : okay , okay , okay . stop . alexis : [ giggling ] sam : mom , it 's not even 5 : 00 yet . alexis : it is somewhere . sam : oh , that 's -- that 's true , actually . wait , you 're not actually letting sonny get to you , are you ? alexis : he always gets to me . he pushes my buttons , and he likes it . and he 's even more skilled at it when i 'm vulnerable . sam : well , this is sonny we 're talking about . he does despise julian . alexis : okay , so i 'll try to ignore him . try to . i really envy your relationship with jason . sam : oh . i - i 'm sorry , what ? alexis : [ chuckles ] i do . i mean , with the two of you , there was no compromise . you did n't try to drag him away from the mob or try to change him in any way , you just loved him . end of story . sam : and then he died . alexis : do you regret being with him ? sam : no . never . alexis : well , then , i rest my case . sam : spoken like a true lawyer . alexis : i 'm also very , very skilled at changing tacks . so , how are you ? sam : um ... [ sighs ] that 's a good question . i think i 'd be better once franco 's trial is over . alexis : yeah . poor kiki . sam : yeah , i know . it 's awful , is n't it ? alexis : yeah . her father 's murdered , the guy she thought was her father 's accused , and her aunt is subpoenaed . sam : wait , what ? denise ? what does she have to do with this ? alexis : i guess they think there 's some importance to her testimony . the defense feels that way . i hope it does n't let franco off the hook . sam : [ sighs ] alexis : unless that 's what you want . sam : mom , what i want is for silas ' killer to rot in prison for the rest of their life . alexis : and you 're not sure that person is franco ? sam : i mean , i - i thought -- i thought i was sure , at first , but then i talked to kiki , and she did n't seem to be convinced . she thinks that someone else is responsible . [ scene_break ] maxie : if nina promised franco that she would n't tell you why silas kidnapped avery , there can only be one reason . she 's protecting franco . nathan : i know . and i said as much , and she still gave me nothing . i just want her to trust me . maxie : that 'll just take time . nathan : i know . and i thought we were getting there . especially after she confided in me about madeline . maxie : oof . what about her ? nathan : well , apparently she has been trying to get nina to sign this . this is consent that basically grants her and ric unfettered access to nina 's inheritance . maxie : are you serious ? nathan : yeah . apparently madeline thought she could get away with this while everybody was preoccupied with franco 's trial . maxie : wow . and i thought your biological mother was bad . but at least obrecht actually cares about people other than herself . nathan : [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] dr. obrecht : if scott baldwin calls , drop everything and find me . elizabeth : will do . what was that about ? patrick : i have no idea . dr. obrecht : what is taking him so long ? i gave baldwin everything he needed . [ flashback ] scott : you dragged me over here for a science lesson ? i got to get back to court . dr. obrecht : take those with you . scott : well ... [ stammering ] i do n't know what i 'm looking at here . dr. obrecht : dna tests . scott : i do n't sprechen sie deutsche . whose ? dr. obrecht : denise demuccio 's , ava jerome 's , and her daughter avery 's . scott : and that 's gon na help franco how ? dr. obrecht : they prove ava jerome did not die from her fall off the port charles bridge . she survived , and is masquerading as denise . the proof is right there in your hands . i just hope he knows how to use it . [ scene_break ] scott : you and silas cooked up quite a scheme , did n't you ? ava : no , we did n't . this is insane . scott : so insane that it almost worked . except for silas ' conscience . he , unlike you , could n't stand to see your daughter kiki in pain . the pain that the two of you caused her making her believe that her mother was dead . who does that ? ava : this is -- this has got to be badgering . no ? ric : if ava jerome is indeed alive , then she faces trial for the murder of connie falconeri . the people have no problem with this line of questioning , your honor . ava : well , i do . scott : well , this will all be over when you tell the truth . tell the court what we already know , ava . that you were indifferent towards your daughter 's feelings . you did n't care about her tears , her pain , her grief . ava : that is not true . scott : oh , yes it was . as long as you were in the clear , you did n't care whether she cried herself to sleep at night . what a price to pay for your freedom , huh ? ava : [ dropping the fake accent ] you think i do n't care ? ! you think i do n't love her ? ! that girl is my heart and soul . everything i 've done , i 've done for her , i 've done for kiki and her sister . i came back here , so i could be with them . scott : who came back ? who came back ? i need verbal confirmation here . who came back for those girls ? was it denise demuccio , or was it ava jerome ? ava : ava ! ava ! damn it ! i 'm ava jerome . [ spectators murmur ] [ scene_break ] sonny : that 's some theory . julian : mm - hmm . denying setting me up ? sonny : does that surprise you , julian ? go ahead and tell anybody that 's gon na listen . at least you 'll have alexis on the hook . julian : you leave her out of this , sonny . sonny : why ? 'cause this is what this all is all about , is n't it ? grandstanding so sooner or later she will see the light ? but you know what ? here 's one thing . here 's one thing you do n't know about alexis . julian : do n't lecture me about my girlfriend , all right ? sonny : i think you need to hear this , jules . alexis is a very intelligent woman . she 's only gon na let you lie to her for so long . she builds cases . she draws conclusions . sooner or later , she 's gon na find out that you 're lying ... and you are screwed . she 's not only gon na kick you to the curb , she 's gon na turn on you . [ scene_break ] alexis : i know it 's frustrating , but you 're just gon na have to let the legal system do its job . sam : i know . i just ... i wish it had a better track record . alexis : someone is gon na pay for what happened to silas one way or the other . sam : i hope so . he did a lot for my family , mom . he saved danny 's life . and , you know what , in a way , he saved mine , too . [ scene_break ] patrick : so , where were we before obrecht got all obrecht on us ? elizabeth : you were trying to convince me to hire maxie as my wedding planner . patrick : ah , yes . i take it that 's not gon na happen . elizabeth : yeah , no , i do n't think so . patrick : well , i was just saying that maybe , you know -- maybe the whole situation is a little , i do n't know , overwhelming . elizabeth : what makes you say that ? the fact that i fled the proposal scene without giving jake an answer ? it 's kind of ridiculous , but ... [ chuckles ] patrick : is it ridiculous ? elizabeth : what do you mean by that ? patrick : i do n't -- i do n't mean anything . i 'm just asking if you are overwhelmed , or you 're having any misgivings that maybe you should listen to . elizabeth : so much for being happy for me . patrick : no , no , i am happy for you . i 'm happy if jake 's the right guy . elizabeth : `` if `` ? what do you [ scoffs ] what do you mean `` if `` ? i thought you were over your little issues with him . patrick : i am , because ... you know , because it 's important to you . and jake has done some nice things . i mean , he 's great with the kids . elizabeth : and with me . patrick : yes . [ sighs ] but the fact remains we do n't know who he is or where he comes from or what his past is like . we do know that he 's capable of some pretty violent acts . elizabeth : because helena conditioned him to be . patrick : i know that . i understand that . but we 're talking about , you know , making bombs and shooting police officers and taking hostages . that 's -- that 's pretty dangerous , elizabeth . that 's a skill set that you learn . elizabeth : so ... patrick : so i 'm just saying that the life that he came from probably -- you know , that was part of it . preparation goes into learning how to do those skills , and so i want you to know what you 're getting into . i 'm not talking about a knock on the door and it 's an old girlfriend or an ex - wife or something . we 're talking about dangerous people knocking on your door . elizabeth : so what am i supposed to do ? just put my life on hold until i know something that i may never know ? patrick : no . i just want you to be safe . elizabeth : and jake has protected me from the moment i met him . i did n't run after he proposed to me , because i question who he is . he caught me off guard . okay ? i 'm -- i 'm scared . i mean , let 's face it , my track record 's abysmal when it comes to relationships , right ? so i just needed some time to myself , and i - i went to the chapel . patrick : okay . elizabeth : and sam happened to be there , and she actually was the one who told me i should n't close myself off because of the past . that i 've been given a second chance , and i should take it . patrick : okay . elizabeth : okay ? patrick : yes . okay . you 're my best friend , okay ? you 're family to me . so if this is what you want , i trust you . and i trust sam . so , you 're on board , i 'm on board . elizabeth : thank you . patrick : congratulations . i 'm happy for you . elizabeth : and when am i gon na get to say the same to you ? you guys live together . you and sam are in love . come one . when are you gon na propose to her ? [ scene_break ] sam : i - i had to move on with my life after jason died , and silas helped me see that . he helped me believe that i could love again . alexis : just ask patrick . sam : i know . i will be forever grateful to silas for that . alexis : me too . sam : he deserved so much more , mom . alexis : all right , so , let 's hope that the scales are balanced at least just a tiny bit right now in court . [ scene_break ] [ spectators murmuring ] judge chua : [ bangs gavel ] settle down , everyone . kiki : am i hallucinating , or did she just ... ? morgan : no , you 're not hallucinating . kiki : [ gasps ] oh , my god , morgan . how can this be true ? is -- is my mom ... scott : i demand that the charges against my client be dropped , since the true killer is on the stand . ava : no , no , wait . wait just a minute . yes , i 'm ava . and , yes , silas clay performed a bone - marrow transplant to save my life . but i did not kill him . scott : so , we 're supposed to take you at your word after this debacle ? ava : i 've got better than my word . i 've got proof . franco : ava . ava . please . ava : your wife did it . it was nina clay or lansing -- whatever the hell she 's calling herself . ric : who took this ? ava : i did . scott : so , you admit that you were at the scene of the crime . ava : to talk to silas . not kill him . ric : talk to him about what ? ava : he was gon na tell kiki the truth about me . and i went there to beg him not to . when i arrived , the door was open , and nina was kneeling over silas ' body with a knife in her hand . ric : so -- so you took a picture of it ? why did n't you try to help him ? ava : if i 'd thought it would do any good , i would have . but i could just take one look , and i knew he was gone . the father of my child . the man i once loved . it was terrible . and of course , i wanted to confront nina , but she was there , she had a weapon in her hand . we all know she would 've used it . so i - i took the picture , and i got out of there . ric : um ... your honor , i - i 'm -- i 'm afraid i need to take a recess . uh ... seems that i have no choice but to charge my wife in connection with the murder of dr. silas clay . [ scene_break ] sam : okay , i should probably get going . alexis : ohh . hot date ? sam : [ chuckles ] yeah , you know it . i 'm picking up patrick from the hospital . alexis : oh , good . well , i 'm sorry you wasted a trip . i do n't know where julian is right now . sam : are you kidding me ? time with you is never a waste . alexis : aww . sam : i love you . alexis : i love you so . sam : tell dad i said hi . alexis : i will , honey . sam : oh , and , mom , do me a favor . can you let him know that i 'm on his side ?

[ cell phone rings ] nathan : speak of the devil . maxie : madeline ? nathan : other devil . ric .

[ scene_break ] franco : this is exactly what i did n't want to have happen . scott : i was n't gon na let you go to prison . exposing ava was the only way to go . franco : where 'd you get this information ? it 's from obrecht , right ? scott : she wanted what was best for you , as do i . franco : what 's best for me is what 's best for nina . and you and obrecht , you may very well have just really hurt nina . scott : and saved you from a life in prison punching out license plates . dr. obrecht : herr baldwin . it 's dr. obrecht again . call me immediately . i require an update on the trial . [ flashback ] scott : silas helped ava to become denise , and franco knew ? dr. obrecht : mm - hmm . scott : what -- why did n't he say anything ? dr. obrecht : because ava 's in possession of photographic evidence that implicates my niece in silas ' murder . scott : nina . i should 've known she 'd have something to do with this . dr. obrecht : the lovestruck trottel would sooner go to prison himself than risk her suffering . but i wo n't have it . i care too much for franco to watch him throw his life away . thus , i have conducted a thorough investigation . scott : more dna ? dr. obrecht : read these . they are the doorman 's log from ava jerome 's building . silas clay signed in to visit her apartment hours before he was murdered . scott : mm . dr. obrecht , you are good . dr. obrecht : naturlich . [ chuckles ] scott : well , now all we got to do is get you up on the stand . dr. obrecht : i wo n't testify . franco made me promise not to breathe a word . he ca n't know about this , that it came from me . scott : well [ scoffs ] that 's just great . how am i supposed to present evidence if i ca n't have a witness to back it up ? dr. obrecht : denise is the only witness you need . put her on the stand and expose her for the fraud she is . please forgive me , franco .

[ scene_break ] judge chua : is everyone ready to pick up where we left off ? scott : your honor , in light of ms. jerome 's testimony , i think that any further prosecution of my client is a big waste of the tax payers ' time and money . silas clay 's murderer is not in this room . she is in a secure wing at shadybrook . i move that all charges against franco be dropped . franco : no . you ca n't drop the charges . scott : let me do the talking . franco : do n't listen to him , your honor . no . i did it . i killed silas . [ next_on ] sonny : ( to carly ) : i 'm gon na make her pay . dillon ( to lulu ) : valerie 's pregnant . dante ( to valerie ) : we slept together . and we both know that was wrong . tracy ( to paul ) : are you going to give me a half million dollars ? franco ( in court ) : i murdered silas clay . morgan ( to kiki ) : what ava did to me was way worse . nina : you know what ? nathan : hey , hey !
during the murder investigation of silas , everybody admits they are confused as to who the real killer is . although many assume and want it to be franco , nathan admits to maxie that it appears otherwise . sam also informs alexis that she does not want an innocent person to go down for the murder of a man who was important in hers ' and danny 's lives and she also doubts it 's franco . sonny and carly have similar opinions yet she keeps reminding sonny of the possibility that morgan is bi polar , with his pattern of impulsive behaviors and could have inadvertently killed silas when silas threatened to expose morgan and denise 's affair to kiki .
dante : ahh ! we did it ! lulu : we officially christened the new house . [ both chuckle & kiss ] dante : what are you thinking about ? lulu : you want to know what i 'm thinking about ? dante : mm - hmm . lulu : life . losing nikolas just completely crushed me . and then i look rocco , and he smiles at me , and i 'm reminded that life goes on . i 'm always gon na be sad that my brother 's gone , you know ? but i guess i have to live my life . dante : he 'd want you to do that -- for rocco , for you , for spencer . lulu : for our new little baby . dante : ah . lulu : oh ! i ca n't wait for dr. lee to say that i 'm ready to implant the embryo . dante : have our little baby girl . lulu : mm . oh ! what ? i 'm sorry , are you saying that you believe your mother 's premonition that we 're having a girl ? dante : no ! no , i 'm just ... it 's , um ... just want to hear she 'd be happy and healthy . that 's all . lulu : i 'm happy that we bought this house . dante : me too . lulu : mm - hmm . i do n't even mind the air mattress . seriously , this night is ... perfect . dante : [ sighs ] we only need one thing . lulu : food . dante : food . lulu : food .

[ door closes ] elizabeth : guess if i were thinking logically i probably would n't be here right now . but my instinct was telling me different because i really need someone to talk to . franco : okay . what do you want to talk about ? elizabeth : these . [ scene_break ] naomi : i meant what i said , honey . come back to the city with me . you need to get away from this house and this town -- and toxic people like elizabeth . hayden : this box is from cassadine island in greece . these are nikolas ' things . [ scene_break ] finn : if this works , reiko ... you could save a lot of lives . i know , sweetheart , it should 've been sooner . it should 've been in time to save you . we both know ... ... was n't for me , you 'd still be alive .

[ scene_break ] franco : you are secretly a billionaire , and you forgot to mention that to me ? elizabeth : [ chuckles ] they 're not mine . earlier , i went to wyndemere , and , when i was leaving , i found a box at the front door . franco : let me see . elizabeth : [ chuckles ] it had nikolas ' name on it . it was from cassadine island in greece . and i took it upon myself to open the box because i figured , if there was something upsetting in there , i did n't want laura to have to deal with it . franco : and the diamonds were in the box ? elizabeth : they were hidden in some of nikolas ' things . there was a jacket and one of his boots . i 'm guessing that stuff just got washed ashore after the sea took his body . it 's terrible to think that 's all that 's left of him . franco : i 'm sorry you had to go through that all alone . elizabeth : well , i did n't . uh , ava showed up . [ chuckles ] franco : ava jerome . elizabeth : mm - hmm . franco : not a nice person . you should stay away from her . what was she doing there ? elizabeth : well , apparently , she happened to be sitting next to nikolas on the plane when he first left port charles . she said the two of them had bonded and that she was actually with him when he really died . she did n't go to his funeral , so she was stopping by wyndemere to offer laura her condolences . franco : whoever sent his stuff sent millions of dollars worth of diamonds ? elizabeth : okay , the thing is , is that this pouch was n't visible in the box . then ava asked if she could have nikolas ' boot , because she said they had grown close , and she would like something to remember him by . franco : of course . like a boot . of course . ava does n't have a sympathetic bone in her body . you know that , right ? elizabeth : yes . it sounded ... off to me . turns out , nikolas hid the diamonds in his boot . franco : poor ava . always so close and still so far . elizabeth : so now i just need to figure out what the hell i 'm gon na do with these . franco : well , what 's the dilemma ? do n't you just give them to laura or to spencer ? elizabeth : i would if they were nikolas ' to begin with , but he stole these diamonds from hayden . [ scene_break ] hayden : laura must 've opened this after we left . i remember this jacket . naomi : oh , this is awful . sweetheart , we need to go through this box immediately before anyone else gets home . hayden : i 'm looking through my dead husband 's effects , and all you can think about are those diamonds ? naomi : yeah , and you 're gon na tell me that -- that you did n't think about it for a moment yourself . hayden : no . naomi : look , you have searched the entire house . the federal authorities have searched the entire house . no one has found anything . it 's possible that the diamonds could be stashed among his effects . hayden : [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] dr. obrecht : i knew finn was up to no good . finn : what the hell do you think you 're doing ? ! dr. obrecht : the better question is ... what in the hell are you doing ? [ laughs ] is that your solution , trying to hide things that i 've already seen ? it 's too late . i 've already seen that you 're working with highly restricted substances -- ones not available or legal in this country . that explains your mystery trip abroad and why you did n't fly commercial . instead , you flew on a private plane owned by the notorious criminal sonny corinthos -- a man who clearly would n't have an issue with your smuggling . finn : i do n't answer to you , lady . i fly when i want , where i want . dr. obrecht : no doubt you are formulating a new party drug , something to rival ecstasy , something you and sonny are going to sell on the black market . make no mistake , dr. finn . i may no longer be chief of staff , but i can and will report you to the authorities . [ scene_break ] dante : i 'm so hungry . this is taking too long . sweetheart , what did dr. lee say about when you would be ready ? lulu : uh , she said that she needed to monitor me for about a month and make sure that the estrogen is doing its thing , and , when my body is ready , she 's gon na move me on to another hormone . and then , shortly after that , i 'll be ready to transfer the embryo . dante : so , october ? you 're gon na be pregnant in october ? lulu : [ giggles ] [ phone ringing ] lulu : come on . it 's dr. lee . dr. lee . are your ears burning ? we were just talking about you . oh , okay , do you want me to put you on speaker ? why ? dr. lee says that she has some bad news for us .

[ scene_break ] elizabeth : raymond berlin originally purchased this necklace for his wife . it was seized by the government along with the rest of his assets when he was arrested for fraud . somehow , hayden got ahold of the necklace and broke it up into individual stones . but , technically , this is property of the government . franco : [ laughs ] elizabeth : it was supposed to be sold to reimburse the victims who lost all that money -- like dr. finn . franco : you do n't know what to do with the diamonds , really ? you know one of those diamonds could pay for a good college for all three of your boys . elizabeth : [ chuckles ] yeah , no . i have made enough mistakes this past year . i am not gon na add theft to my list . franco : okay . look at us here , two peas in a pod .

[ chuckles ] franco : true . but maybe if you got ahold of that babysitter again , he or she would be willing to come back and maybe stay later this time ? elizabeth : i 'll think about it . franco : really ? we just talked about this , and already you 're backpedaling . elizabeth : hey , i reserve the right to take my time . but i am gon na see you again . does that work for you ? franco : yeah , definitely . elizabeth : it does ? you 're sure ? franco : i 'm sure .

[ next_on ] sonny ( to jason ) : i have a feeling there 's something you 're not telling me . alexis : what the hell is that ? jordan : that is what i want to know . nelle ( to carly ) : can i talk to you privately ? parker ( to kristina ) : what are you doing back on campus ? kevin ( to laura ) : i hope no regrets crept in about last night ? sam : do you want to tell me what 's going on ?
hayden 's mom urges her to get out of port charles , to realize there 's no reason to stay and that she could be risking consequences she does not want if she stays . yet hayden makes it clear one reason why she 's not ready to do that is her `` friend `` , dr. finn . she goes to see him and is very baffled to see he 's in a very bitter and negative mood , finding it odd given how he appeared very positive and encouraged the last time they spoke . he expresses to her that she needs to make her own decisions and stop believing that other people , such as himself or nikolas or anyone should be her `` prince `` . hayden is offended by the way he talks to her and storms out of the room yet she is still determined to stay in town and face all the people who doubt and fail to respect her . elizabeth has found the diamonds which she knows ties hayden and her family to their crimes and knows if she keeps them , she can use them as evidence against hayden . yet she is not certain what she should do at this point , regarding all of that . she goes to visit franco who is surprised to see her , unexpectedly and she tells him she wants to confide in him about this . at first , he is confused as to why she wants to see him , expresses to her he 's convinced that they are both living a lie and fooling themselves to think they can continue seeing each other with all of the reservations they both have . yet she convinces him that she wants to be with him and he need not doubt that . obrecht appears to know finn 's secret for why he 's traveling on sonny corinthos ' private jet and making it very secretive where he goes and what he does and the fact that he 's obviously using and experimenting with illegal drugs . she clearly wants to get him in trouble and antagonizes him . alexis meets with her two daughters at the metro court and gets into another heated argument with kristina regarding kristina 's `` lost cause `` with parker and her own `` even worse `` mistake with julian . little do they know a guy is sitting behind the bar recording the whole confrontation on his phone . dante and lulu have happily moved into their new house and are ready to have another baby . yet they get startling news from their ob - gyn that there is no more chance for her to have another baby . this devastates her and they both relive all they had to go through in the last few years and all they are still determined to do in order to have another baby .
nina : no , we booked this photo shoot months ago , and they said there 'd be no problem . they assured me of that . no , i -- this is what -- listen . listen to me talk . this is what i need you to do . you need to get the location managers in morocco on this . they need to take care of it like their contract says . you got what i 'm saying ? thank you . valentin : tough day at the office ? nina : oh ! valentin : i have just the thing to cheer you up . nina : oh , gosh . you know what , it 's not a good time right now . i have a million things going on . we have this photo shoot . valentin : i assure you , i 'm just here as an intermediary for a third party . mesdames et messieurs , laissez moi vous présenter l'élève surdouée de l'académie de danse de madame macron , mademoiselle charlotte honor cassadine ... nina : oh , my goodness . well , that was beautiful . that was so graceful ! charlotte : there 's a special class in the ballroom today . i had papa bring me early so we could visit you . we miss you , nina . nina : oh ! i miss you , too .

[ footsteps approaching ] anna : oh , hi . dr. finn ? finn : hi . anna , i -- i did n't see you in my appointment book today . anna : no , no , no . i 'm not tracking you down or anything . i was looking for hayden . finn : she 's ... not here . anna : do you know when she 'll be back ? [ scene_break ] judge chua : we 'll take a brief recess to give the defense a chance to round up its witnesses . mr. baldwin , keep your client under control or i will have him restrained . mr. jerome 's thinly veiled death threat to mr. rudge has n't helped his case at all . scott : [ sighs ] yes , your honor . judge chua : [ bangs gavel ] bailiff : all rise . julian : [ sighs ] yeah , i 'm gon na wipe that smirk off your face . scott : take it easy . julian : [ sighs ] everything out of rudge 's mouth was a lie . scott : well , i have some tricks up my sleeve . julian : okay , do n't patronize me , okay , baldwin ? there 's no coming back from that , you know . scott : now , you 're gon na spend the rest of your life in prison if you do n't get yourself under control . [ scene_break ] carly : i mean it . the last thing you needed while you were recovering was to be hounded by the cops . sonny : well , i 'm glad you understand . carly : what i do n't understand is how the two of you could keep this from me . jason : carly , you got to understand -- sonny : things were volatile . carly : screw that , sonny ! things are always volatile . after 20 years of friendship , how could you keep this from me ? sam : they did it for me . carly : because you asked them to ? sam : no . carly : no . you wanted the opposite . you wanted to tell me the truth . but sonny and jason , the two people i trust most in this world , they 're the ones who decided to lie . [ scene_break ] finn : hayden 's not here . anna : do you know how much longer she 'll be ? finn : oh , i do n't think i 'd wait if i were you . anna : well , you seem to be doing just that . we could wait together . finn : mm . are -- are you always this persistent ? anna : yeah . finn : may i ask what 's so important ? anna : what do you know about the diamonds that hayden took after her father 's assets had been seized ? finn : not much . hayden 's mother , naomi , confessed to stealing those diamonds . anna : yeah . confessed . that 's the operative word . at any rate , when hayden first came to port charles , she had diamonds in her possession . finn : i -- i believe they were all turned over the authorities . anna : maybe . maybe not all of them . one might have been left out . [ scene_break ] nina : so , how are the dance classes ? charlotte : i love them . and i 'm in the advanced group now . nina : [ gasps ] valentin : that 's one of the reasons we wanted to come see you , because you 're one of the reasons we took dance . i mean , you found madame macron . nina : oh ! well , that 's great . well , charlotte was so graceful , i knew she 'd do so well . charlotte : how long did you take dance , nina ? nina : um , i do n't know . i think i stopped when i was 13 . yeah . i really loved it and wanted to be a ballerina , but i just got so tall , you know , so i concentrated on writing instead . charlotte : do you think i 'll be tall ? nina : [ gasps ] i do n't know . time will tell . charlotte : i hope i will . i want to be just like you , nina , even if it means i ca n't dance anymore . nina : [ gasps ] no , no , no , no , no . you do n't talk like that . that 's crazy talk . if you want to dance , you keep on dancing . all right ? even if you 're 6 ' 3 `` , you can dance . you do whatever you want , whatever it is your heart . that 's the most important thing . and you know what ? your papa and i will support you no matter what . charlotte : even though you and papa are n't married anymore ? [ scene_break ] julian : i did n't think you 'd be here today . alexis : i had a meeting with a client . i was just passing through . hm . i heard your trial was delayed . what happened ? julian : the da wanted to give rudge enough time to memorize his lines . alexis : rudge ? olivia 's henchman ? julian : he perjured himself . he testified that olivia and i were like butch cassidy and the sundance kid , running around on some sort of a mutual crime spree . [ sighs ] alexis : olivia tried to kill you . that bomb that killed morgan was in your car . julian : oh , yeah , that was a clever plot between the two of us to eliminate my rival 's son . alexis : the judge believed him ? julian : well , rudge , uh , played his part perfectly . he made it sound like we were working together , like i was her partner in crime instead of an unwilling accomplice who she had handcuffed to a radiator . alexis : how did scott handle the cross - examination ? julian : [ scoffs ] alexis : there was a cross - examination ? julian : well , he reserved the right to recall the witness , although fat lot of good that 's gon na do . i mean , at this point , i do n't even see the point in mounting a defense . [ scene_break ] carly : does anyone see the irony here ? i mean , sam , the late - comer . for years , i threw that up in her face -- how she was never gon na understand the bond that we share , how our loyalty always came first ! and now sam 's the one -- sam 's the one who was honest with me while the two of you shut me out . you treated me like you treat the cops ! sonny : i was gon na tell you when things calmed down ! carly : but you did n't tell me , sonny . you came close , but then you 'd change the subject . you 'd try and flirt with me . i knew you were hiding something from me , and i did n't press . you know why ? because jason was involved . and while i knew that you would lie to me , i certainly never thought you would ! jason : it was never about lying to you , carly . carly : but you did ! jason : it was about protecting sam . i thought she was going to confess . i was focused on stopping her . i did n't want to get you involved . carly : why ? we always trusted each other before . when did that change ? [ scene_break ] nina : listen , listen , listen . what happened was pretty complicated . charlotte : papa had to go far away to answer questions , so i went to live with lulu and dante and rocco , and you got a divorce . but now papa 's back . so everything can go back to the way it was . nina : are you sure that 's what you want ? because i thought you liked living with lulu and dante and rocco . charlotte : i do . but i like living with you and papa , too . i want the three of us to go back to wyndemere to live together . valentin : oh , ma petit ... i know things seem like they should be that simple , but grown - ups do have a way of making things more complicated , do n't they ? when i had to go away , everybody else had to make their own arrangements , and the judge decided that you should live with lulu , and well , nina and i decided it 'd be better if we got divorced . charlotte : but why ? do n't you love each other anymore ? [ scene_break ] finn : last i heard , the diamonds were in federal custody . i never heard that one was missing . i doubt hayden did , either . anna : yeah . possibly . but i can ask her that , right ? finn : uh , yes . lucy : hey , finn . finn : lucy . how did you find me ? lucy : oh , um , amy driscoll . anna . anna : hi , lucy . lucy : hello . hey , uh , look , i 'm very sorry to bother you at a time like this . i just , uh , need to know what you want to do regarding the house that you and hayden were gon na purchase . i would completely understand if you want to back out of that contract . finn : why would you say that ? lucy : oh ! well , instead of you two getting married , hayden left you and general hospital and port charles , and it does n't look like she 's returning . [ scene_break ] scott : hey , why the long faces ? i got plenty of witnesses . put leo 's mother on the stand . she will testify how your sister put your baby boy in the hospital . julian : she only has my word that my sister was behind leo 's health scare . scott : well , then there 's lucas . he 'll say how you sacrificed your life for your family . julian : lucas is still furious with me . scott : yeah , but we can count on him . julian : no . scott : well , then there 's sam . alexis : sam just got out of the hospital , and even if she were well enough to testify , she would classified a hostile witness . scott : oh , for crying out loud . then i 'll put you back up on the stand . alexis : right , because my first appearance just knocked it out of the park . scott : yeah , but -- alexis : listen , any point you make with olivia quartermaine , with sam , or with lucas , the da is gon na be able to counter on cross , and julian has hurt them all . i 'm sure you know that . i 'm sure you know that , too . [ scene_break ] carly : i can almost excuse sonny for what he did . i mean , for one thing , you were shot , and you spent 24 hours in a hole in the ground . then you were drugged from surgery , and i 'm sure you did n't want to say anything at the hospital because you did n't want anyone to overhear . but all that changed once we got home . you could have told me any time . sonny : it was not only my secret to tell , carly . it was jason and sam 's . carly : sam did n't want to keep the secret ! you did . my best friend . the one person i could always count on . always trusted . i thought you trusted me the same way . why would you shut me out ? jason : things are different now . we 're different . carly : why ? jason : because now we know what we stand to lose . [ scene_break ] lucy : well , she did pack up all her things the morning that you two were supposed to be married and just disappeared , and the only thing she left behind was her engagement ring . i do n't know , does that sound like a woman who is returning or who even wants to be found ? anna : oh , i do n't know that . i do n't know enough about the situation to speculate . finn : hey , uh , i think you wasted your time coming here , all right ? i 'm gon na find hayden , and when i do , we 're gon na move into that house , and i 'm gon na rip out that damn tennis court with my own hands , and we 're gon na put in a slide and a swing and a sprinkler set for the kids to run through . so , no . no , i am buying that damn house , okay ? lucy : okay , i 'm sorry . look , i will just see you at the closing , okay ? i 'll see you there . finn : yes ! lucy : ta . [ sighs ] anna : i 'm so sorry . i did n't know anything about what was going on . finn : hayden and i have a lot to work through , but we will . i just need to find her first . [ scene_break ] valentin : i do love nina . i love her more now probably than i did the night we were married , because i 've actually spent time with her and i 've seen her courage and i 've seen her kindness . and that made the love grow stronger , but marriage is n't all about love . charlotte : yes , it is . the prince and the princess fall in love and get married and live happily ever after . the hard part is the beginning when he 's a beast , and she has to teach him to be nice . nina : mm , that is the hard part , but `` beauty & the beast `` is a fairy tale . valentin : and fairy tales do n't have community property and assets in common and entailments and liens ... charlotte : [ scoffs ] what are those ? valentin : well , those are -- those are legal terms , and when two people are married , then legally , they become one person . so if somebody has to go far away and answer some questions , that can create a lot of legal problems for the person left behind , and the best way to deal with that is to get a divorce , because that means everything is divided , and my problems do n't become nina 's problems . charlotte : i think that 's sad . i think if you love each other , you should get married and not worry about legal problems . nina : well , my goodness . charlotte , i should have talked to you before my brother and all the lawyers ganged up on me . charlotte : were they mean to you ? nina : they were mean to me ! they were mean to me ! they were talking about assets and cutting my losses and ... [ groans ] but you know what my biggest problem was ? i was uncertain , and i let them convince me of something that i did n't believe in . i did n't go with my heart . that was a mistake . charlotte : what does your heart tell you now ? valentin : charlotte , um , we 're gon na have to go or we 're gon na be late for class . charlotte : nina , can you come with us ? it 's right downstairs . nina : oh ! um , i just -- i would love to go with you . okay . [ scene_break ] scott : alexis , you 're doing a lot of backseat litigating here . julian : i want to hear what alexis has to say . alexis : we all knew how difficult it was gon na be to get him acquitted . julian : so , remind me again why we requested a bench trial ? alexis : because jurors are swayed by emotion , and the prosecution goes first . they 're gon na talk about olivia 's crimes and how you committed them with her , and they 're gon na lose all sympathy for you , and you wo n't be able to get it back . now , judge chua on the other hand has to follow the law and abide by the principles of reasonable doubt . scott : and about the witnesses . alexis : all they have heard from julian is that he was coerced . they just have his word on that , and none of them are gon na be devastated if he goes to prison . i mean , ned and olivia will be thrilled because leo gets to be a quartermaine , then . scott : do n't sugarcoat it here . julian : okay , you know , she 's right , scotty . alexis : any good that they can do for you for the defense is gon na be outweighed by the damage the prosecution can do when he asks them to expound on their negative feelings about julian . scott : so you 're saying that my defense has been worthless and harmful ? julian : that about nails it , yeah . scott : okay , well , then do you two geniuses have any ideas ? julian : put me on the stand , scotty . let me tell my story . [ scene_break ] jason : i was gone for two years , and when i came back , remembered my life , i realized i had to change , find a different way to live . you made the same choice , did n't you ? when you lost morgan . you wanted away from the violence , you wanted sonny out of the business . carly : what does that have to do with you lying to me ? sonny : i think , carly , what he 's trying to say is we have different priorities now . we used to react without thinking , lie to the cops , cover . now everything 's different . we have kids , we have family . so what used to work before does n't work now . jason : i could n't ask you to be a part of cover - up when this is a life that you do n't want to live . carly : okay . i mean , it makes sense , you know ? it does . but it makes me sad because ... you never used to think that way . you always knew that i was there for you , and , um ... well , i guess that 's just changed now , too . so ... jason : look , i 'm sorry . i did n't mean to hurt you . carly : no , it 's okay . i just , um ... i just need some time to adjust , i guess . jason : thank you . sam : this is -- this is my fault . carly : hey . please stop saying that . no one blames you . you know ? you were n't in your right mind . the rest of us do n't have that excuse . [ laughs ] i understand why you did n't tell me , i do . i think it 's the wrong call , but i 'll just have to get over that . sonny : okay . since we all agree , then , uh , we 're not gon na say anything to anybody about sam 's involvement in the shooting . jason : you know what ? sam and i have to get home . there are two little people that really want to see their mom , so ... bye . carly : bye . sonny : you all right ? carly : no . okay , just out of curiosity , if the positions were reversed , and you were the one that was shut out and lied to , how do you think you 'd feel ? sonny : i would hate it . carly : then why did you do it to me ? once we were home , why not tell me the truth ? sonny : because i just got you back , and i did n't want to fight . and -- i knew that if i told you the truth , that i was keeping a secret , that you would doubt me , and i love you and i do n't -- i made a mistake . i 'm not perfect . carly : what -- what did just you say ? sonny : i said i made a mistake . i 'm not perfect . carly : what ? sonny : what ? carly : when did you start saying you were n't perfect ? you 're the most arrogant man i know ! the only time you pretend to be humble is when you know you 've screwed up , and you want me to forgive you . sonny : 'cause most of the time it works . carly : it 's not working . you know why ? because you 're not even genuinely sorry ! sonny : yes , i am ! i would have said something at the hospital , but because of the reasons you just said , i did n't . but i admit , when i came home , i should have said something . carly : thank you . sonny : okay . carly : i know it 's not completely your fault because jason did n't want to tell me , either . sonny : right . carly : i do n't know why that surprises me . [ scene_break ] jason : here you go . sam : thank you . jason : molly just texted . she said we have half an hour before she brings the kids home . so ... sam : good . you know , i 'm hoping once they 're in my arms , i can forget about what i did to sonny . jason : sonny has forgiven you . eventually , you 'll forgive yourself . i promise you , we 're gon na find a way to get past this . sam : i know . i just do n't understand how this happened in the first place . i knew for weeks that something was wrong with me , and i do n't know why i did n't ask you for help . why did n't i trust you ? [ scene_break ] scott : there is no way i 'm gon na put you on the witness stand and let the da cross - examine you . he will chew you up and spit you out . julian : you know , i can handle myself . scott : alexis , would you tell him what a disaster this would be ? alexis : as a rule , i do n't believe in putting defendants on the stand , but in this case , i think he should take the stand . i do . i think he should tell his story , and i -- i have faith that he will do it justice . julian : um , olivia , my sister -- she came back to port charles last year , and she was , uh ... she was definitely hell - bent on revenge . she tried to force me to kill alexis . so i had to come up with a plan . i staged the incident down at the docks to make it look like i was gon na kill alexis , but i had every intention -- i had every intention of letting her go . and then i was going to leave the country . unfortunately , sonny corinthos ruined those plans . it was after that that my sister stepped up her threats to include my three children . she put my son leo in the hospital just to make her point , and then she kidnapped my daughter sam just as she was about to give birth . [ sighs ] and then i had to witness alexis handcuffed to the bridge . and i was told yet again that i had to kill her . [ scene_break ] anna : i 'm sorry . going on about the diamond and everything , it must seem so trivial with what you 're going through . finn : in a roundabout way , those diamonds brought us closer together . you know , hayden was so desperate to hang onto them , and she got sick , and when elizabeth turned them over to the police , they really did become trivial . anna : yeah . finn : how 'd you come to have that one ? anna : oh , yeah . this -- it was , um ... it was embedded in this little keepsake that spencer cassadine made for my granddaughter . finn : he must have found it at wyndemere . anna : yeah . well , that 's what elizabeth thought , too . however ... i -- i had it examined by a jeweler , and he said that it actually is n't part of the original diamond necklace that raymond berlin gave to his wife . all right , so apparently , this diamond was stolen by a ring of jewel thieves out of eastern europe , and the money that they made from the sale of these gems financed larger crimes , which is what puts it in the purview of the wsb , which is why i 'm investigating . finn : yeah , international jewel thieves . that sounds more like the realm of nikolas cassadine , not hayden . after all , it was his house . anna : yeah , you could be right . yeah , nikolas -- he certainly had his share of shady dealings , but unfortunately , i ca n't ask him . but i can question hayden . finn : i have no idea where she is , anna , but i 'm gon na find her -- i promise you , and then you can ask her yourself . anna : forgive me for saying this , but it really does n't sound like she wants to be found . [ scene_break ] scott : now , take a moment . i know this has been trying . campbell : objection , your honor . this is pure spectacle ! you 're being manipulated . judge chua : i do n't need you to tell me how i 'm supposed to feel , counselor . sit down . scott : are you ready to continue ? julian : yeah . thank you . scott : okay . so , what ultimately happened with you and your sister ? julian : well , after i shot the handcuffs off alexis , i had to block olivia 's shot so alexis would n't get hit , and , uh ... at which point , olivia shot me , and i fell off the bridge . i , uh , obviously survived the fall and when i came to , i had realized what was going on . i realized that olivia had been locked up . and i admit that i did try to leave town , but i mean , it was n't to avoid justice . it was just to put some distance between me and my family . i 'd honestly rather never see my family again than to see them in danger . campbell : mr. jerome , years ago , you shot your sister , is that correct ? scott : objection ! relevance ! judge chua : overruled . answer the question . julian : i thought my sister was dead . campbell : by your hand . julian : i paid for that crime . i gave up my life . i spent years in the witness protection program . campbell : why did your sister choose to return last year ? did it have something to do with duke lavery ? scott : objection , your honor . again , relevance ! judge chua : i 'll allow it . julian : my sister was in love with duke lavery , yeah . campbell : and you killed him . scott : objection , your honor . it is public record that carlos rivera killed duke lavery ! campbell : by mr. jerome 's orders ! scott : your honor ! judge chua : move on , mr. campbell . campbell : your sister olivia showed up in town , and you never told the authorities . julian : no , i did not . campbell : she killed morgan corinthos , kidnapped dr. robin scorpio drake , she almost blew up general hospital with everyone in it , and you did nothing to stop it . julian : look , i -- campbell : in fact , you helped her ! julian : i know what my part was in this , but that 's not how it went down . campbell : thank you ! thank you ! no further questions . judge chua : mr. baldwin , do you wish to redirect ? scott : yes , i do . is n't it true that you did your sister 's bidding because she was threatening you ? julian : yes , i -- i was trying to protect my children and the woman i love . my devotion to them obscured my reason . olivia is locked away now . my daughter and my granddaughter are safe and so are lucas and leo , and as are you , alexis . i understand that my actions may be judged as wrong , and i may be put away in prison , but honestly , if that was the price i had to pay to protect my children and my family , then ... then i 'm okay with that . scott : the defense rests . [ scene_break ] finn : you think hayden 's gone for good ? anna : i do n't know . i 'm sorry . i should n't have said that . i do n't know enough about what went on between the two of you to speculate . i 'm just gon na focus on the diamond . finn : you know , maybe hayden 's father can help you . yeah , i mean , any diamonds she had , they came from him , and she did go visit him a few days ago . he 's at the green briar federal penitentiary . anna : all right . i guess i 'll pay a visit to mr. berlin . finn : mm . maybe do n't mention to him that hayden just vanished . i mean , why worry him ? anna : i wo n't -- i wo n't mention that she disappeared . of course not . finn : okay . anna : can you do me a favor and not tell anyone about the diamond and the connection to the jewel thieves ? just keep that confidential ? finn : i wo n't say anything . i do n't really have anyone to talk to anyway , and i ca n't imagine anyone here has ties to international jewel thieves . anna : i do know one person . [ scene_break ] nina : i 'm just gon na say it -- charlotte is the best dancer in that group . valentin : you did n't even stay for the whole performance . nina : i did n't need to . i saw the warm - up . that was enough . valentin : you 're not just a little bit biased ? nina : i 'm completely biased . completely . charlotte 's incredible . she 's bright , she 's graceful . that little girl can do anything she 's made up her mind to do . valentin : well , selfishly , i hope you 're right . nina : why do you say `` selfishly ? `` valentin : because she 's made up her mind to bring us back together . [ scene_break ] campbell : the defendant aided and abetted a fugitive who terrorized this community and caused the horrific death of morgan corinthos . not because he was coerced , but , as we heard from mr. rudge , because he agreed with his sister and supported her goals . so , yes , mr. jerome does care about his family -- his organized crime family . scott : ultimately , mr. jerome almost died on the bridge that night . he was willing to sacrifice his life for his family . if he is guilty of anything , it 's that he loves his family too much , and , your honor , that is not a crime . judge chua : i will retire to my chambers to review evidence and testimony . this court is in recess . [ bangs gavel ] bailiff : all rise . alexis : julian . i 'm sorry for everything that you went through . julian : thanks . i just had to do what i had to do .

[ scene_break ] johnny : you know what happened . johnny : i killed logan . and right afterwards , lulu walked in and saw him laying dead on the floor , knife sticking out of his belly . it 's no wonder she has n't been able to shake that image . claudia : well , hey , you know , a dead guy with a knife sticking out of his belly -- that 's a hard image to shake , but it 's not enough to make you go crazy . johnny : not you , claudia . maybe not me . we grew up with violence our whole lives . it surrounded us . lulu 's different . she -- claudia : you just -- you always have an excuse for her , always , john . trevor : what the hell is happening in here ? all of a sudden , baldwin is emergency petitioning to have you transferred to pentonville ? claudia : hey , you know what ? you better get it fixed . you better take care of it , trev . trevor : well , i do n't think i can . claudia : well , then we need a better lawyer . how do i call ric ?

[ scene_break ] nadine : let me page dr. drake . either one , or dr. behar or anyone else on staff tonight , because spleen removal is a very common procedure . you do n't need a specialist . in fact , any one of us nurses could probably do it , so just pick an option , any option , just not dr. hunter . matt : nurse crowell , really , that is more than enough . come over here , please , for a second . your paranoia has stepped over the line . do n't you dare ever question my professionalism in front of a patient . now , despite nurse crowell 's opinion , i 'm a highly qualified surgeon , certainly the best that 's wandering the halls here tonight . dr. drake is off duty , and behar is on a cruise , so i am the best shot that you 've got . maxie : well , what would happen if we waited until patrick was back ? matt : no , mr. spinelli needs this operation now , unless you feel lucky enough to risk serious complications . maxie : elizabeth , i obviously do n't trust this guy , and i do n't know these other nurses very well . i know you and i have had issues , but you 're an honorable person , and you would n't lie about a patient . is he right ? would it hurt spinelli if we wait ? elizabeth : he 's bleeding internally and in a lot of pain . you 'll be putting him at risk if you wait . and if it helps , i 've seen him in the o.r , and he 's a pretty good surgeon . you know , we should do the procedure now . matt : okay , so , this is ridiculous . i 'm going to scrub . maxie : oh , well , spinelli did n't give you his consent yet . spinelli , what do you want to do ? spinelli : well , the jackal 's cognitive skills are a bit blurred due to , well , being hit by a car , but he trusts fair maximista to make the right choice . my life is happily resting in your lovely hands . [ scene_break ] alexis : well , what do we have here ? claudia : i can explain . alexis : no need . it 's clearly breaking and entering and evidence tampering , and i 'm going to love every minute of having you arrested for it .

after having a hallucination and meltdown while visiting johnny , lulu is taken back to shadybrook where she visits her mother , in tears , to confess how much she fears her fate of madness . laura actually responds and manages to speak to the girl . when scott begins to talk about moving johnny to a tougher jail . claudia starts trying to move heaven and earth to stop it . though she wants ric to deal with the case , only trevor is available , so she decides to break into alexis ' office but gets caught . claudia does suspect there is more going on than has been told . in the wreck , maxie is unhurt , but spinelli 's spleen is ruptured , forcing him to need an operation and the untrustworthy dr. hunter is the best option they have . after getting blood on her wedding gown and sonny seeing her in it , kate is sure they are cursed and is willing to go to outrageous lengths to uncurse things , so sonny turns to lois ' mother to help him deal with her nuttiness .

[ scene_break ] alexis : you know , it 's amazing how one careless , fleeting moment can affect you for the rest of your life . sonny and me . mac : ahh . alexis : i do n't have any regret , i do n't . i do n't regret any of it because i would never trade kristina for anything in this world , but there certainly was a price to pay . i 've paid it , my daughter has certainly paid it , so have all the myriad of other children he 's spawned in port charles , and that 's exactly what jax was trying to do . he was trying to protect josslyn . and i should have stood by him because his fear was very real . mac : is this a good place to jump in ? alexis : sure . mac : no one knows , alexis . especially when it comes to parenting . look , all we can do is our best and hope our kids turn out to be decent human beings in spite of us . alexis : says the guy who raised two exceptional daughters . mac : should be three . alexis : what happened to georgie was n't your fault . mac : talk about the choices that change your life . i relive mine every day . alexis : well , her life was cut painfully short , but you showed her nothing but love . mac : i 'm sure your daughters will say the same thing about you . um ... you know what ? we never had that cup of coffee the other night . alexis : i think technically that was morning . mac : well , what about now ? [ scene_break ] max : you do n't want to be with me ? diane : honey , i just think it 's more a question of scheduling . my publisher has arranged another 30 city book tour and you ca n't come . max : why not ? diane : well , jason morgan 's in the hospital and sonny corinthos is hanging on by an emotional thread . max : milo can watch mr. c . diane : oh . milo 's adorable , but i would n't trust him to watch my goldfish , let alone a deranged mobster . max : ok , fine , so i stay . it does n't mean we have to split up . diane : oh , max . max , you 're a big piece of bone - in prime rib . and i could never expect you to wait for me , and i 'd feel silly asking you to . max : i could do it . diane : i know you could do it . you could do anything . max : except for hang on to the girl . are you sure this is what you want ? diane : i just think it makes the most sense . you know , for both of us . max : ok . i got ta go . good luck on the book tour . diane : thank you , max . max ? take care of yourself . max , one more thing . light beer . anything else makes you bloat . you , talk to me . distract me . make letting him go worth my while . what have you got for me ? spinelli : not much . no leads . hey , no doorbells . there are no doorbells in this town . diane : and that is significant how ? spinelli : even the little things matter . it 's always the little things . the things everybody else misses . you miss enough , you miss what you 're looking for . you know , everyone else looks down when they pray , but if you want to know what matters , look up . look up or you 'll miss it . you 'll miss it all .

[ scene_break ] lucky : hey . what 's going on ? matt : when the orderlies were stripping this bed , they found this . pretty clear that was meant for you . ethan : maybe she was trying to say good - bye . lucky : why ? ethan : because she cared about you . lucky : no , i mean saying good - bye implies she knew she was gon na die , but siobhan did n't have cancer or some other condition where the end was in sight . she thought she was fine . matt : we all did . lucky : exactly . i mean , she asked for me . matt : ok , so maybe this was n't to say good - bye . maybe this was her way of passing time and showing you that she was thinking about you . lucky : by writing g name on a pillow ? i mean , that just does n't make any sense . i think she was trying to tell me something . ethan : like that ? lucky : i do n't know . but i owe it to her to find out .

kiki : if you want more time with alice , i can always reschedule with my mom . michael : no , no , that 's fine . i mean , i 'll be the first one to admit that i know absolutely nothing about wrestling . i was so confused . kiki : [ laughs ] michael : alice and morgan were screaming at the television , yelling things like `` piledriver ! `` kiki : that 's a famous finishing move . what ? wrestling 's really fun to watch . michael : well , still , i think i 'll let the super fans bond without having to worry about me asking them a hundred questions . which means i 'm all yours tonight . kiki : oh , good . then what are we waiting for ? let 's go grab dinner with my mother . julian : where the hell have you been ? ava : grocery shopping . you can put the bags in the kitchen . julian : [ sighs ] well , i certainly hired a full - service protection detail , did n't i ? man even carries your groceries . good thing he did n't have to draw his gun . ava : i 'm not gon na be lugging around groceries in my condition . julian : even taking a guard with you , it was still pretty risky for you to leave the apartment . i mean , have you forgotten that sonny 's just waiting for a chance to get you and that baby back into his clutches ? sonny : yeah , i just need you to keep an eye on the shipment , shawn , 'cause you know what ? julian 's , uh , trying to convince everybody he 's out of the game . um , now that alexis ' house was torched , his cover 's blown , so he may try to do something . and if that hap -- you heard what i said , right ? all right . i 'll see you later . well , this is a surprise . i mean , you 've kind of been avoiding me lately . dante : yeah , i know . sonny : i 'm not complaining . i figured you 'd be busy . your -- your mom said that you had a fertility test or something like that ? dante : yeah , we did n't make it . olivia : okay , so since you got the movie tickets , the drinks are all on me . ned : no , no , no , no , no . olivia : what are you talking about ? no , no , that 's not fair , 'cause you got the jump on me by buying the tickets ahead of time . ned : it was my pleasure . plea . your money 's no good here . olivia : well , i thank you , ned . and my son thanks you , too . i 'm sorry . ned : how so ? what 's -- what 's up ? olivia : well , lulu is going in for fertility treatments today , and i called them last night just to let them know , you know , that i 'm there for them , whatever they need -- a ride , anything at all , and i still have n't heard back from them , which i suppose means that they would prefer it if i would back off and stop smothering them . ned : well , an offer of help hardly sounds like smothering . olivia : i got a history of smothering . i 'm just -- i ca n't think of any other reason why i would n't have heard from them . dante : look , i know i 've been , uh ... i 've been pretty harsh with you about what happened with my mother .

ned , no , no , give me -- give me a good popcorn flick every time . you know , lois and i , we used to spend every single day of the summer in the movie theater , and it was not just for the , uh , air conditioning . ned : of course . lois took me to that theater on one of my very first trips to bensonhurst . she loved that place . olivia : oh , there are so many good memories there . you know , i remember this one time , we let connie tag along -- god rest her soul -- we let her tag along with us going to see , uh , `` red dawn . `` ned : `` red dawn . `` the `` rag - tag band of kids takes on the russians `` movie . olivia : yeah , yeah , whatever . but we were all in love with patrick swayze , okay ? god , god rest his soul , too . so , anyway , we go up to the ticket counter . we say to the guy , `` three tickets for ' red dawn , ' please , `` and all of a sudden , the guy looks at connie , says she 's too young to get in . it was the first pg-13 movie . ned : oh , that 's right . a bunch of parents got all bent out of shape because of that -- what movie was it ? olivia : `` gremlins . `` ned : `` gremlins . `` olivia : yeah , they got all freaked out . it was too scary , it was too violent . and a new movie rating was created just in time to keep us from seeing the swayze . ned : [ laughs ] olivia : yeah . what about you ? what did you do for fun when you were young ? ned : my aunt monica . ava : i know all too well that sonny ca n't wait to get his hands on me and this baby . julian : well , then , maybe you should leave the shopping to someone else . ava : i did n't have a choice . i had to risk it . kiki is coming over tonight . julian : [ chuckles ] i know you love your daughter , but you risked sonny abducting you again so you could bond over a home - cooked meal ? ava : i needed supplies . michael 's coming , too . julian : oh . ava : yeah . julian : so , you decided to comply with the boss 's demands , huh ? ava : reluctantly . this whole thing makes me sick . but like you said , i do n't have much of a choice . i ca n't risk this luke spencer look - alike retaliating by going after kiki . i have to keep my daughter safe . even if that means that michael has to die . michael : i could use a night away from the hospital , yeah . does your mom know where she 's gon na take us to eat ? i imagine it 's not gon na be the metro court . i do n't think she wants to run into either of my parents . kiki : somewhat surprisingly , she actually invited us over her house . michael : oh , okay . kiki : `` oh , `` as in i should n't have accepted the invitation ? i know that you are n't the biggest fan of my mom , and you have your reasons . my mom has just been trying lately , and i - i just thought it would be ... michael : look , i 'm -- i 'm willing to try with your mom for your sake and for the baby that might be my sibling or my niece or nephew . so it 's not about your mom . it 's , uh , it 's about her penthouse . it 's where aj . was shot . julian : so , what are you planning on doing ? you gon na blow michael away while kiki 's in the bathroom , slit his throat with a steak knife right in front of her ? by killing him here , you 're only setting yourself up to go down for his murder . ava : you 've never known me to be careless before . and despite my feelings about this , i 'm not gon na start getting sloppy now . it 'll only hurt kiki more if she knew i was responsible . julian : so , what 's your course of action ? ava : something subtle . dante : so , the guy we thought was the immigration agent turns out to be levi 's accomplice . he pulls a gun , grabs lulu . i mean , there was nothing i could do . took lulu and maxie and the aztec jewelry and got on a boat they had waiting . by the time the coast guard found it , the boat was sinking . it had been abandoned , and we 've been looking for leads ever since . sonny : tell me what you need and it 's done . dante : i was hoping you 'd be able to help us find them . nikolas : so , what 's up ? i overheard a cop talking about a body in the water . nathan : it was n't -- it was n't lulu or maxie 's body . elizabeth : oh , thank god . nathan : i know , after we found maxie 's veil in the water , we thought ... but it 's not . it 's not maxie 's body . it 's , uh ... i helped pull her out of the water . it was a jumper from the footbridge . nikolas : but are there any other updates , any signs that maxie and lulu survived the storm ? i mean ... nathan : no . we do n't have any evidence one way or the other . elizabeth : well , there 's no reason to believe they did n't survive . nobody is more resourceful than those two girls , especially when they 're together . nathan : but they 're still out there , and sitting here is n't getting us any closer to finding them . maxie : tell me what happened to lulu ! if you did anything to her , i 'm gon na kill you ! levi : really ? like your old man tried to do ? maxie : is that supposed to scare me ? that you shot mac ? because it 's just one more reason to make you pay . you know , you obviously do n't believe in any of the stuff you used to babble about , like karma . but it exists . levi : [ laughs ] maxie : and it 's gon na come back to bite you for shooting an innocent unarmed man . levi : would you pipe down ? i only winged the guy . maxie : lulu ! levi : and as for your friend ... lulu : i 'm fine . levi : we only needed her the clear the supplies out of the car . lulu : yeah , god forbid either of you cowards do any actual work . levi : well , may as well put one of you able - bodied hostages to good use . what do you think , scribs ? scribner : shut up . put that over there . [ door closes ] scribner : time to tie you up , my little pack mule . sit and give me your hands . lulu : cranky . master plan not working out so well ? scribner : do n't take it personally . i have to put these ropes back -- lulu : i do n't think so . olivia : that sounded a lot like what you just said was that you slept with monica quartermaine . your aunt . ned : by marriage . olivia : right . right , because otherwise that would be creepy . ned : hey , we were both consenting adults . olivia : mm - hmm . you know , i heard -- i heard about that , uh , that song getting cut from the nurses ' ball with the lyric `` monica likes to have her fun , `` but still -- ned : there 's a song ? olivia : let 's focus , focus , focus . stay on point . ned : okay . in my defense , first of all , i did n't know she was my aunt . i grew up in a boarding school , and i never went home . and then when i graduated high school , i decided to , uh , strike out on my own . so i , uh , started working at a tennis club as an instructor . and i , uh , met an older woman . olivia : one thing led to another ? ned : pretty much . olivia : mm - hmm . ned : [ chuckles ] it was ironic , actually . i , um , in my attempt to break away from my family , i ended up taking a path that led me right back to them . olivia : well , i , for one , am very glad that your family found you , because otherwise you never would have met lois and ... we would n't be here tonight . ned : no . no , we would n't . olivia : i mean , you know , as -- as friends . ned : exactly . olivia : right . julian : so , what do you have there that 's gon na take out corinthos iii ? is he allergic to shellfish and you 're gon na sprinkle some clam juice into his lasagna ? ava : unfortunately , michael does n't have any allergies . i checked . so i made a stop on the way back from the supermarket -- an old contact of mine who excels in discreet matters such as these -- and he gave me the name of a local supplier . julian : of ? ava : flowers . a botanist gone bad , i guess you could say . this powder is derived from oleander . most people do n't know they 're toxic . julian : so , you think you could just sprinkle it on his food and he wo n't notice ? ava : well , if it 's mixed with a bittersweet dessert , he wo n't . and michael , he 's far too well - mannered to criticize his host 's cooking . julian : and when his family demands an autopsy after he suddenly dies ? ava : the coroner wo n't find that unless they 're looking for it specifically . the effects will start six or so hours later . he 'll go home . probably die in his sleep . julian : how does it work ? ava : slows the heart . leading to paralysis and then death . julian : [ sighs ] ava : they 'll think he died of sudden heart failure . julian : well , there 's an irony for you . his beloved maid gets a new heart . his gives out . ava : do you think i 'm enjoying this ? this is the man my daughter loves . now , thankfully , i 've been told that this method is relatively painless , so michael wo n't suffer . but kiki -- kiki will be devastated by the loss . julian : well , our boss did n't give you a choice . ava : i 'd rather kiki be emotionally hurt than mortally wounded . and god willing , i will still be around to help her get through this . kiki : i 'm so sorry , michael . i was n't even thinking about what happened to your dad at my mom 's place . i 'll call and cancel right away . michael : oh , no , no . you do n't have to do that . kiki : no , i do . at the very least , we can go out to a restaurant . you should n't have to be reminded of that horrible night . michael : just glossing over what happened would only be dishonoring aj 's memory . now , i 've been trying to avoid what happened by throwing myself into one distraction after another -- elq , the brownstone , alice . but i still dream about him getting shot . no , i do . i think that seeing where it happened might help me move on . kiki : are you sure ? carlos rivera is in prison . the person who took aj from you is being punished . michael : as far as i 'm concerned , rivera got off easy . there was no justice . there was no closure . if i had it my way , my father 's killer would be rotting in the ground . dante : my partner and i , we -- we just -- we hit a dead end . we found the owner of the boat , but he was no help . they made him jump off as soon as they left the haunted star , and he had no idea where they went . sonny : so , this was all about felicia 's family heirlooms ? dante : that 's got to be it . i mean , this was not some last - minute thing . this was , uh , you know , levi targeting maxie , finding out who her mother was , realizing she had these artifacts . this was a - a big operation , months in the making . sonny : you think levi has someone standing by that could fence the jewels ? dante : you 're the one who 's in this world . i mean , you know anyone -- anyone -- locally that levi would contact ? nathan : this is my fault , you know ? i went in there after levi , no backup , no nothing , like a rookie . [ scoffs ] britt : you made a judgment call . it 's your job . and if it 's anything like mine , making it personal is where you get into trouble . nathan : but it is personal , though . i did n't play this by the book because i wanted to stop levi before maxie married him . britt : why is that ? nathan : because she 's a good person . she 's my friend . britt : sounds like you think of her as more than a friend . lulu : thanks for the assist , maxie . maxie : somebody untie me right now . levi : put the gun down , lulu . we all know you 're not gon na shoot anybody . you do n't have it in you . lulu : ha . then you obviously have n't done your homework on me . i killed someone in self - defense before . maxie : yeah . yeah , and that guy was a disgusting creep , almost as awful as you two , and lulu stabbed him to death . lulu : i wish it had n't gotten that far , but i 'll do what it takes to protect myself and my friends . plus my husband is a cop . maxie : yes , and dante 's an excellent shot , as we mentioned . he wanted to make sure lulu could protect herself . lulu : what maxie 's saying is that i 'm a pretty good shot myself so back off and let us out of here . scribner : all right . you 've made your point . this will all be over soon enough . no need to get hysterical , honey . lulu : [ scoffs ] i 'm not your honey , jackass . scribner : [ laughs ] levi : fun 's over , lulu ! be a good little girl and put the gun down . lulu : no , you put your gun down . levi : i do n't care how good you think you are . you ca n't drop me and scribs before i shoot maxie . so , i 'm gon na count to three , and maxie gets one right through that donor heart of hers . one ... two ... three ! ava : hey . hi , you two . come on in . kiki : this was quite a surprise . ava : well , i just wanted to return the favor after you surprised me on my birthday . michael : oh , uh , uh , this is sparkling cider . uh , i was gon na get you wine , but i know you ca n't be drinking , so ... that 's for you . ava : oh , thank you . that 's -- that 's very sweet of you . kiki : that 's why i love him . ava : i - i 'll just put this in the fridge . kiki : are you all right ? michael : yeah . no , i mean , i 'm fine . it 's just , uh , it 's a room , right ? it should n't have any power over me . kiki : michael , it 's the place where your father was shot . you said that you wanted to confront it , and you have . we do n't have to stay . michael : no , it 'd be rude if we just take off . kiki : michael , you do n't have to do this for me . michael : i 'm fine . really , i want to stay . ava : [ sighs ] kiki : are you wearing an apron ? ava : ah ! [ laughs ] i guess . yes . i forgot i had it on . kiki : i did n't even know you owned an apron . ava : what ? is it to shocking to you to think that i would cook for you ? kiki : yeah , considering my diet growing up was takeout . it was a little surprising . ava : do n't worry . i did order in . but i made the dessert myself . julian : ah , your company 's already here . hello , kiki . michael . michael : hi , julian . kiki : i did n't know he 'd be here . ava : no , he wo n't be . he 's just leaving . julian : i 'm sorry to disappoint you . enjoy your evening . ava : [ sighs ] julian : you gon na be okay ? ava : no . but it has to be done . i 've already stirred the oleander powder into michael 's chocolate mousse . julian : gives a whole new meaning to death by chocolate . ava : julian , get lost . sonny : i did get reports about someone trying to set up a fencing ring here in port charles , selling museum - quality artifacts to private collectors . dante : you did n't try to shut it down ? sonny : no , i did n't -- well , it did n't interfere with my business , so i did n't ask any questions . i just hope that , uh , he 's not involved . dante : who ? sonny : the person you should be asking questions to . coleman . coleman : hey , can i get you folks a refill ? olivia : hey . coleman : olivia . olivia : [ laughs ] coleman . hey . long time , no see . you know ned ashton ? coleman : hey , man . ned : good to see you again . coleman : yeah . yeah , i 'm just covering mac 's shift after what happened . ned : what happened ? coleman : he got shot . olivia : what ? when ? is he okay ? coleman : yesterday . he 's fine . only felicia 's got her hands full trying to keep him in the hospital . olivia : god , what is it with you macho types ? why wo n't you just let yourselves heal ? why does he think he 's got to go ? coleman : well , he wants to be part of the search . in fact , i 'm surprised to see you here . olivia : what ? coleman , what are you talking about ? what search ? coleman : you do n't know ? ned : obviously not . coleman : it all went down at the wedding . maxie 's fiancé shot mac and , um , and then made off with her and lulu . dante : coleman ? that ca n't be right . i mean , the guy has n't fenced anything in years . sonny : well , apparently he ran into some financial trouble last year , bad investments , and , you know , he sold the -- the bar to mac . dante : no , i know , but what are you saying ? he -- he got back into the black market to make ends meet ? sonny : that 's what i 've been hearing . look , i hope that i 'm wrong , and i tell you what , if the guys who took lulu and maxie are trying to fence that jewelry , then chances are , coleman 's been in contact with them . nikolas : all the money in the world , and my team is n't doing any better than the pcpd . elizabeth : yeah , but you 've doubled the amount of people searching . look , i know in my heart that lulu and maxie are gon na come home safely . nikolas : i appreciate you saying that and for calling me when mac showed up in the e.r . elizabeth : i am so sorry i could n't get here sooner . i - i could n't get out of my shift . and i know you were up all night worried . i wish you did n't have to go through that alone . nikolas : i was n't really alone . britt was with me . britt : did something happen between you and maxie ? nathan : [ chuckles ] no , no , no , no . she was with levi . we 're just roommates . britt : hmm . but you have feelings for her , do n't you ? nathan : it took me a long time to admit it to myself . i do n't even know if maxie feels the same way . i just ... it might be too late . levi : we ca n't have you reaching for anything else , now can we ? you wo n't be able to wiggle out of that . even after all that yoga . maxie : go to hell . levi : [ laughs ] come on , scribs . let 's eat . i 'm famished . lulu : i 'm sorry , maxie . i did n't think i was good enough to shoot both of them before levi hurt you . maxie : no , lulu , stop . do n't apologize . this is n't your fault . this is all on me . scribner : we better eat fast . you told the buyer we made it to the safe house , right ? levi : of course . he 'll be here any time now . olivia : maxie 's fiancé is a thief and somehow he and his accomplice took maxie and lulu away at gunpoint ? god , no wonder dante did n't call me back . but why did n't he tell me ? ned : he 's probably busy looking for lulu . olivia : okay , i got to get down to the station . ned : i 'll drive . let 's go . olivia : dante , hey . coleman was just telling us what happened -- dante : well , that 's good coleman was answering some questions . maybe you can answer some questions for me , too . kiki : this salad is delicious . ava : it is , is n't it ? yeah , i 've been having , uh , a lot more salads . kale is supposed to be very good for the baby . kiki : how is the pregnancy going ? ava : wonderfully . um , i 'm in my second trimester , and my energy is back . michael : i 'm glad to hear it . that 's my , uh ... that 's my , uh , relative that you 're -- you 're carrying , so ... ava : michael , i know that this is an incredibly awkward situation . but i never meant to hurt your brother . michael : well , that does n't change the fact that you did . ava : well , sometimes certain things happen in life , and you end up doing things that you did n't expect to . michael : look , uh ... [ clears throat ] it really does n't matter how the baby was conceived . at the end of the day , that little person is part of my family . does n't matter if morgan or my dad is the father . i 'm gon na be a part of his or her life while they 're growing up , no matter what . maxie : everyone tried to warn me about levi , but i refused to listen . i was so desperate to change myself that i fell for his act . i mean , he knew exactly who i needed him to be the day that he met me . he made sure he was the type of man i would fall head over heels in love with . lulu : you could never have known what a snake levi was , okay ? just stop blaming yourself . maxie : who else is there to blame ? you should be with dante right now . you 're supposed to start that hormone therapy today . and instead , you 're here with me tied to a chair . i really wish they had just taken me . lulu : hey , look , we 're in this together . maxie : that 's why i tried so hard to change myself . it was n't just for me and georgie . it was -- it was for you , too , to prove to you that i was worthy of our friendship . now all i 've done is taken another child away from you . lulu : please just stop talking like this , maxie . okay , yeah , it 's true , all right ? we did n't like levi . we thought he was a goof . he was kind of controlling . but none of us suspected that he was a con artist or a thief . max : [ scoffs ] how 's the irony in that ? i spent so much of my life lying , and then i ca n't tell when one person is lying to me about everything ? lulu : no one could have known what he 's capable of . maxie : lulu , we still do n't know what he 's capable of . not really . lulu : the only way that we are gon na get out of this is if we stay strong , okay ? and we are going to get out of this , because ... i have a son back home who needs me , and you have a daughter . maxie : today 's georgie 's birthday . lulu : i know . maxie : i should be with her right now . i should have been able to see her by now , but thanks to levi , i mean , he convinced me not to go to my first hearing . and by the time i came to my senses and scheduled another one , he told the judge that i had lied . nathan was right all along . and i did n't listen . why did n't i listen to nathan ? nathan : i may never get the chance to tell maxie how i feel about her . we found that veil in the water -- britt : okay , stop . stop . nathan : what ? britt : as far as we know , they 're still alive . are you giving up ? nathan : no , i 'm just -- i 'm trying to face the facts here , all right ? once you cross the 24-hour mark , the chances of a successful recovery go down . britt : you 're scared . you 're scared . i get it . but , you know , i think this might be the one time we take a page from our mutter 's handbook . nathan : are you serious ? britt : i know she 's borderline psychotic . there 's no denying that . but she never backs down from adversity . it 's a part of her , and she passed that on to me , which means she passed it on to you , too . elizabeth : so , britt was with you last night ? nikolas : yeah , yeah , but it 's not what you think . brad needed her out of the apartment for the night , so i told her she could stay in the guest room . it 's not like i do n't have plenty of room , right ? that 's the only reason i invited her . elizabeth : stop , stop , stop . you do n't -- you do n't need to explain . i need to call my grandmother and check on the boys . nathan : thanks for the pep talk . britt : you 're welcome . now go find maxie and lulu . nathan : yeah , i got to -- i got to check in with dante . i got a text from him . i ca n't believe i did n't even notice . britt : well , there 's a lot going on . what does it say ? nathan : he 's following up a lead at the floating rib . olivia : wait ! dante : sit down ! sit down ! i want you to tell me everything you know ! olivia : honey , it 's okay ! coleman does n't know anything ! dante : oh , is that right ? ! is that right ? ! have n't you heard this guy 's got a little side project going , a little black market fencing antiques going on ! i want you to tell me about a couple of your customers , scribner and dunkleman . those names ring any bells to you ? olivia : you 're involved in this ? coleman : it was n't supposed to go do like this . i did n't know anybody was gon na get hurt or kidnapped . dante : they got my wife out there , so you -- unless you want to see it real ugly really fast , you better tell me what you know right now . ava : michael , is something wrong ? kiki told me that this was your favorite dish here . chicken marsala and au gratin potatoes . kiki : not to mention that chocolate mousse you said you made . it 's like you cooked him his last meal . ava : well , you barely touched your food . is something the matter ? michael : i 'm sorry . i 'm , uh ... i 'm just ... wondering where it happened . ava : where what happened ? kiki : carlos shot his father here . ava : oh , michael , i 'm -- i 'm so sorry . i did n't think . michael : it 's not your fault . ava : well , it is . i was n't here when it happened , but carlos did work for me and julian . i swear to you , i had no idea that carlos was going to rob your house . kiki : mom , we know you had nothing to do with it . michael and i are n't blaming you for what happened to aj . lulu : okay , enough crying . we need to make a plan . maxie : how is that gon na help us ? we are tied up . lulu : well , you got an arm loose before . maybe one of us can do that now . maxie : yeah , but the knots seem a lot tighter than they were before . lulu : okay , wait , my arms are tied in front . maybe if i can get close enough , i can work on yours . levi : so , what are you two talking about ? maxie : just how excited we will be to see the two of you sentenced to 20 years in prison , that is assuming you 're not shot on sight . lulu : unless you wise up and leave , seeing as how you have the jewels . you do n't even really want us . levi : i do n't know . maxie and i had some fun , did n't we , max ? maxie : how do i put this ? see , i thought i was on a spiritual journey to transcend the physical , and i thought he was just trying to help me , and i did n't want to hurt his feelings , which is why i never told him that he is way below average in the sack . i mean , way . all that fun he thought we were having , never happened for me . not once . lulu : i ca n't say that i 'm surprised . levi : oh , shut up , the both of you ! maxie : oh , i 'm sorry . you do n't want me talking about your ... inadequacies , you should probably just let us go . lulu : you only took us so that you could escape . maxie : and hello ! you 've escaped , so just untie us , let us walk out of here . we will never look back , and you guys will definitely get away . scribner : we 're not ready to let you go just yet . those jewels are worth nothing to us as they are . soon as we complete the transaction with the buyer and have that cash in our hands , then we 'll let you go . levi : [ scoffs ] sure we will . scribner : what 's that supposed to mean ? nathan : dante . what 's going on ? dante : oh , coleman here is just gon na tell me everything about levi 's plan . nathan : he 's conspiring with dunkleman ? coleman : ease up ! there 's no conspiracy . dante : i do n't think you understand quite the gravity of the situation here . i mean , maxie and lulu are related pretty much to every major player in the city here on both sides of the law . now that i think about it , this could be a whole new era of cooperation between sonny and the commissioner . coleman : look , i do n't want trouble with sonny or the commissioner . nathan : you do n't want trouble ? then you tell us where you fit in to all of this . coleman : i started hawking stolen goods awhile back , all right , made a whole bunch of connections . dante : coleman here 's a fence , among other things . coleman : some rich folks do n't mind going through me to add to their private collections . no questions asked , right ? dante : what are you smiling at ? coleman : i 'm not smiling . dante : then cut to the chase , coleman ! coleman : so a couple months back , this guy approaches me who calls himself scribner , all right ? and he said he wants to make a play for felicia 's aztec jewelry collection . olivia : but you know felicia . coleman : times are tough , all right ? and besides , felicia never wore the jewels anyway until that levi guy started talking her up about them . dante : no , but kidnapping 's fine with you , right ? no problem with that whatsoever ? coleman : man , i was just in it to turn a profit . i had no idea that things would go this far , all right ? nathan : when ? when was the sale gon na go down ? coleman : two nights ago , scribner told me they 'd have the jewels sooner . i should have the money ready when they call . they never called , all right ? so when i heard about the boat sinking , then i just figured they , uh , they ran into some -- dante : the sale ! the sale , coleman ! when was this supposed to go down ? levi : i have n't been completely honest with you . scribner : what the hell does that mean ? levi : i have no intention of letting them go . nikolas : thanks for the update . i 'm gon na call my security team and tell them to follow up at the floating rib . elizabeth : any progress ? britt : dante might have another lead . elizabeth , thank you . i know nikolas really appreciates you calling as soon as you found out about lulu , even though it was so late . you should have seen his face when he heard his sister was in trouble . elizabeth : really ? you want to do this right now ? britt : do what right now ? elizabeth : using this tragedy to try to get closer to nikolas , trying to catch me off guard by hinting that you were with him last night when i called ? britt : i was just trying to make sure there are n't any hard feelings . elizabeth : about what ? nikolas already told me that he invited you to stay in the guest room . britt : oh . did he also tell you that right when you called , we were about to have sex ? olivia : what the hell 's the matter with you , coleman ? connie just -- she thought the world of you , and you 're running around involved in something like this ? coleman : how was i supposed to know that lulu would get caught up in this ? i had no idea things would get this out of hand , olivia . olivia : save it ! why do n't you just save it ? ! ned : liv , liv , liv , liv , liv ! just ignore him , okay ? the squad car 's on its way . olivia : good . good . and i hope they lock him up for a really long time . and you know what else , coleman ? you listen to me . if they do n't find maxie and lulu without one scratch on them , and i mean not one scratch , i will make you wish you were dead . dante : any movement ? nathan : no . dante : let 's go . pcpd ! oh , god . sonny : max , i just want my people on top of this . i 've been turning a blind eye . everybody 's trying to , you know , make money off my territory . if they kidnapped my daughter - in - law , they crossed the line ! that 's all i got to say ! anybody harbors levi has got to deal with me ! man : boss , you 've got a visitor . sonny : not right now , 'cause i 'm busy . man : i think this is somebody you 're gon na want to see . sonny : [ sighs ] fine . who is it ? julian : that would be me . it 's been a long time since we 've had a word . kiki : how are you doing ? i know this was n't easy for you . michael : [ sighs ] well , i could n't avoid this place forever . and i have to hand it to ava . she knows her way around a takeout menu . kiki : [ chuckles ] she does , right ? oh , it was spectacular . michael : yeah . i 'm pretty stuffed . kiki : me , too . [ chuckles ] ava : oh , come now , michael . surely you saved room for dessert . kiki : oh , my gosh . [ next_on ] dante : ( with nathan ) police ! do n't move ! julian : ( to sonny ) i want to do you a favor . ned : ( to tracy ) dammit , mother ! will you just shut up ? ! ! lucy : ( to scott ) do not touch me again until you have made a decision . franco : ( to carly ) what are you doin ' here ? ava : ( to michael , who is about to eat the chocolate mousse ) what are you waiting for ? dig in .
ava concludes that in order to keep kiki safe from hers ' and julian 's notorious boss ( the luke spencer look - alike ) , she has to carry out his instructions of killing michael corinthos , even though she does not want to do that . julian convinces her she has no choice just like he found out the hard way when he tried to `` cross `` their boss . so she invites her daughter and michael to dinner with a secret plan to poison him without their knowing . michael does n't eat very much , however , because her apartment is where his father , aj , died . at the end of the meal , ava brings out the poisoned chocolate mousse for michael .
laura : mmm . [ sighs ] good morning . kevin : good morning . so , i hope no regrets crept in since last night . [ scene_break ] sam : you could have ordered an omelet . jason : yeah , eggs are going to make your morning sickness worse . so i can suffer through it . sam : [ sighs ] jason : how 's that toast ? sam : delicious . jason : [ laughs ] sam : i think i 'm going to be okay in a couple of hours , though . it does n't seem to last past noon . which makes me really lucky , because i think a lot of women a nauseous their entire first trimester . jason : sounds awful . sorry . you think you 're going to be able to hold it together long enough to tell the news ? sam : [ chuckles ] yes . i think i 'm going to be okay . did you , maybe , want to tell them about the baby ? jason : nah . i think one step at a time . sam : really ? jason : you know , it 's probably all they can take . sam : okay . jason : hey . carly : you guys never ask us for breakfast , so what 's going on ? sam : okay . well , um ... we have some news . jason : we 're getting married . carly : [ gasps ] sonny : it 's about damn time . carly : aaaah !

[ scene_break ] jordan : alexis , please . alexis : thank you . jordan : thank you for coming . alexis : uh , you were very insistent on my being here . what was so important that you could n't tell me over the phone ? jordan : i needed privacy . i could n't possibly tell you this over the phone . alexis : and what would that be ? jordan : this . alexis : what the hell is that ? jordan : that is what i want to know . alexis , what the hell are you doing ? [ scene_break ] sam : yeah . so , we 're doing it , basically , pretty soon . um , what are you guys doing september 2nd ? carly : oh , my gosh . that 's so soon . sam : yeah . carly : okay , we can do that . and you can have a great wedding and reception here at the hotel . i will just bump whoever has the place rented , and i 'll comp them -- jason : what ? no , no . we 're good , thanks . do n't do that . carly : oh , do n't tell me you rented out that chinese restaurant for your ceremony . sam : no , we do not have any plans to go back to noodle buddha , although , i do love that place . jason : [ laughs ] we really want just an easy wedding . sam : yeah , we want it simple where we can just be ourselves , friends and family , that 's it . carly : you mean where jason does n't have to dress up and wear a suit ? jason : exactly , yeah . [ laughs ] carly : that 's exactly what we 're thinking . sam : and you 're practically the first people we 've told , so if you do n't mind keeping quiet until we 're able to invite our other guests , that 'd be great . jason : you know what ? planning this out , maybe just a quick , simple ceremony at the courthouse -- sonny : jason , we get that you want it simple . jason : yeah . carly : no . no , that is totally unacceptable . sonny : what do you mean , `` no ? `` here 's the way it works . they 're getting married , so you got no choice . carly : i say i do have a choice . [ laughter ] carly : i have a choice . you 're my best friend . you tell me you 're getting married , and then you i ca n't do anything to celebrate . jason : you can show up and be part of the big day . that would be great . carly : oh , i know , i know ! let us host your wedding at our house , please ? we can have a simple small reception . you know how beautiful the terrace is . sam : oh , no , no . there 's no need to go and do that . carly : i know there 's no need , but i really want to . sonny : we want to contribute on your special day . we want to show how happy we are , how much you mean to us . carly : yes . sonny : that 's it . carly : say yes , say yes . you 're going have to say yes . i 'm not going to stop asking if you do n't say yes . jason : yes , yes , yes . carly : yay ! [ laughs ] thank you very much . okay , great . you 're not going to be sorry . this is going to be a perfect , very small , not very loud , ceremony . it should be all about sam and jason . sam : that sounds nice . carly : okay , so who do you want to invite ? i mean , i know you 're gon na want your sisters and your mom there , and monica -- oh , my gosh , monica is going to be so thrilled . you -- [ groans ] i 'm sorry . one second . -hey . sonny : look , she 's distracted . you want to run ? sam : we ca n't just leave . sonny : just leave -- sam : i can run in heels , so ... nelle : sorry , i did n't want to interrupt . um , i know they were a few details you wanted to go over before i pick up avery . carly : yes , but first , i want you to meet to very important people to us . our very good friends , sam mccall , jason morgan . this is nelle hayes . sam : hi . nelle : hi . carly : avery 's hanging out with morgan right now , but nelle is going to be avery 's babysitter for the day . nelle : nice to meet you . carly : and , well , um , nelle is n't just a babysitter , she 's very important to our family -- nelle : mrs. corinthos ... can i talk to you privately ? [ scene_break ] laura : no regrets . how can you even ask that ? kevin : [ sighs ] you know ... laura : hm ? kevin : i have a confession to make . [ sighs ] my cryptography consultations usually do n't end up like this . laura : [ chuckles ] i hope not . kevin : [ laughs ] laura : yeah , when i asked you to help me crack helena 's code , i -- i did n't foresee this . i mean , if i knew that anything like this was going to happen , i would have stopped working with you immediately . kevin : what a minute . you said no regrets . laura : i regret putting you in danger . kevin : you did no such thing . laura : you got shot . kevin : i followed you to greece . after everything that we 've been through , i wanted to be with you when you went to the island to look for the nikolas . okay , actually , i just wanted to be with you . and there i go bringing it up , painful memories . [ sighs ] for a shrink , i can be incredibly dumb sometimes . laura : [ sighs ] it 's okay . i would be mourning nikolas now no matter what . you have made it bearable . you also helped me outmaneuver helena for the first time . thank you . kevin : your welcome ? [ chuckles ] though i 'm a little unclear on how i helped you get one over on helena cassadine . laura : well , the scavenger hunt that she sent me on was meant to hurt me . she wanted me to relive all the most painful moments in my life and the biggest mistakes that i 've made , but it backfired . [ both laugh ] laura : 'cause it lead to a very unexpected happiness . [ kiss ] [ scene_break ] parker : i did get your message , but i did n't call you back , kristina . kristina : [ chuckling ] yes , you did . parker : what ? no , i ... oh , god , i must have inadvertently pocket - dialed you . i 'm -- i 'm sorry , i had no intention to call you . kristina : are you sure you did n't just have second thoughts and hang up ? parker : no , i -- i did n't intend to contact you . i 'm sorry that you got that impression . kristina : never mind . bye . parker : wait , kristina , wait . um ... kristina : what ? i promise i wo n't come back here again . parker : no , no , it 's not that . the truth is you have been on my mind . kristina : i have ? parker : very much so . i ... i 'm sorry .

[ scene_break ] alexis : how did you get this ? jordan : i have a source at tmi . alexis : [ sighs ] jordan : she used to be serious journalist but scandal sells , and she has to pay the bills , so ... anyway , she 's knows that you figure prominently in case that i 've worked , and she gave me a heads up . the accompanying article that goes along with this goes into some detail about a scene at the metro court last night between you and your daughter . alexis : well , she did n't contact me about it . jordan : this is going online . this is going online with the exact caption , `` violence runs in the family , `` within , i do n't know , within the hour . it 's quickly going to go viral after that . alexis : okay , jordan . then kill it . jordan : i ca n't . i tried . the publisher is not going to sit on such a explosive story . alexis : well , the story is out of context , the photo is out of context -- it 's all misleading . it was an unpleasant moment between a mother and a daughter . it happens . she walked away , i grabbed her arm . i was angry , not violent . jordan : that 's not what the photo says . this is a very direct and public comment on your character and your temperament . alexis : okay . so i like an ass in public . that 's my problem . jordan : no . it 's not just your problem . you 're a key witness in a major case , alexis . some of your actions surrounding julian 's arrest can be questionable and confusing for any jury . it 's publicity like this , along with your suspension from the bar , that cast doubts on your testimony against julian . or was that your intention all along ? alexis : [ chuckling ] i 'm sorry . i honestly do n't know what you mean . jordan : i 'm simply asking you what i know will be on da hornsby 's mind , and it 's certainly on mine . alexis : jordan , honestly , i have a splitting headache . you 're being way to cryptic right now . jordan : did you arrange for this very public incident as a way to discredit yourself as a witness against julian 's case ? [ scene_break ] carly : of course . can you wait for me at the bar ? i 'll be right over . nelle : yeah , great . sam : all right . nelle : it was nice to meet you both . sam : you too . nelle : bye , mr. corinthos . sonny : bye . jason : you going to tell us what that was all about ? carly : well , if it 's what i think it is , it 's really no big deal . but i do have to get going because i have to get avery squared away . but thank you . thank you for the news . sam : no , thank you . carly : congratulations . this has made my day , it really has . [ laughter ] sam : we appreciate your enthusiasm . carly : this is exactly what i wanted -- you guys back together . it 's about time you got your act together . [ laughs ] jason : [ clears throat ] thank you . carly : [ chuckles ] there 's nothing i would n't do for you . you know that . jason : [ sighs ] sam : can you do me a favor ? i know that my sisters ' are gon na probably want to help in planning the wedding . can you just rein them in ? no white doves , no carriage , nothing like that . carly : it 's going to be simple , sweet , and absolutely beautiful . sam : thank you . jason : you know i love you , right ? carly : [ squeals ] i do , i do . and i love you , too . and i ca n't wait to discuss centerpieces with you . jason : oh , not even funny . not even a little bit . carly : i 'll see you later , okay ? jason : wow . [ scene_break ] carly : hey . [ laughs ] nelle : hey . hey , sorry if i seemed a little rude earlier . carly : not rude , concerned . so just tell me why you did n't want sam and jason to know that you 're josslyn 's kidney donor . nelle : do you mind if we talk about his privately ? carly : of course . nelle : yeah . carly : okay . we have to get to the house for avery anyway , so come on . [ scene_break ] sam : actually , i need to take off , as well . so i will meet you back here later , okay ? jason : i 'll walk you to the elevator . sam : okay . sonny : take your time . sam : good to see you , sonny . jason : and congratulations again . i 'm very happy for you guys . sam : thank you . jason : be right back . sonny : all right . jason : hey . you feeling okay ? sam : yeah . i mean , you know . [ chuckles ] yeah . i 'm just gon na -- i 'll give you guys some time . i 'll be back later , okay ? jason : okay . be safe . sam : will do . jason : hey . sonny : big news . jason : yeah , big news . what , man ? sonny : i just get a feeling there 's something you 're not telling me . jason : well , there is . [ scene_break ] kevin : why do n't i get us some coffee from my favorite place ? and when i come back , we can discuss breakfast options or go back to bed . laura : oh , what an excellent idea . hurry back . kevin : oh , i definitely will . [ door closes ] laura : [ chuckles ] oh . oh , dear . [ sighs ] no , no , no , no , no . should n't have done that . oops . oh , a novel . dr. kevin collins ' ... [ scene_break ] parker : it was pretty cowardly on my part -- taking off like that and only leaving a note . kristina : i mean , given that we just spent the night together and agreed to give us a try , it was a surprise , to say the least . parker : at the time , i thought it was for the best -- i did . but looking back , you deserved so much better than that . kristina : i know that my mother pressured you into staying away from me . i 'm really sorry . but if you listen to me , i can explain everything . parker : look , this is n't only about what your said or did . this is about me and my feelings , my choices , my behavior -- kristina : your feelings ... for me ? you mean , you were really attracted to me ? parker : [ sighing ] yes , kristina . i still am . [ scene_break ] alexis : are you actually suggesting that i would discredit my own testimony ? you , of all people , should know better than that , jordan , because you were on the other end of that wire that was ripped off my chest when he held his hand to my mouth and knife to my throat and almost killed me , no thanks to you . not only is that insulating to me , it 's -- it 's absurd . no one wants him convicted more than i do . jordan : alexis , i 'm well aware of what julian put you through . but before you agreed to wear that wire , you protected him for months . alexis : so ? jordan : so maybe you 're still protecting him . alexis : [ sighs ] jordan : i do n't know , you married him knowing that he was a murderer . he obviously convinced you that he would change , that he change for your sake . maybe he 's convinced you again . i do n't know . you 're an excellent lawyer , alexis . you know exactly how to influence a jury . maybe after all that he 's done , you still do n't want julian convicted . [ scene_break ] carly : i need to have that champagne delivered by tomorrow , or i 'm just going to find another distributor . well , if he does n't like it , he can call me directly . [ chuckles ] okay , thanks . bye . i 'm so sorry i was on the phone the entire time we were driving from the metro court . nelle : mm . you know , it sort of amazing watching you work . you handle everything so well . carly : wow . that took a long time to develop . [ both laugh ] carly : well , i used to be a really different person . but that 's a long story for another time . come on , you wanted to tell me why you did n't want sam and jason , who happen to be my and sonny 's closest friends , to know that you 're josslyn 's donor . nelle : well , i 'm a little uncomfortable with you treating me like i made some huge , noble sacrifice when i had nothing to do with the decision in the first place . you know , i 'm thrilled that josslyn was helped by my kidney , but , you know , i got the closure i needed , and i 've come to terms with what my parents did . i do n't want to dwell on it , and i definitely do n't want to be known for it . carly : wow . okay , you sound like josslyn . she does n't want to be known for the transplant . [ chuckles ] but jason 's family , you know ? not only is he my best friend , he is michael 's uncle . nelle : yeah . i mean , i see the resemblance . carly : yeah . not just in looks but -- jason 's fair , you know , incredible loyal , and he 's always willing to give people the benefit of the doubt . i mean , michael and jason , they have similar temperaments . all , by the way , i 'm saying is i want jason and sam to know about you . nelle : look , no offense , but can you just tell them after i leave ? i really do n't want to make a big deal out of it . carly : [ laughs ] when i was your age , i would have been demanding every bit of attention i could get out of the situation . you , nelle , have a maturity that i never did . [ scene_break ] sonny : so , how 's it going ? you seem fully recovered from the trip . jason : yeah , they got me on medication for the malaria right away , so all good . sonny : given any more thought on your second career as a pilot ? jason : [ laughs ] after that crash landing , yeah , no , not much of an accomplishment . sonny : well , you managed to get my son and my daughter - in - law off that island after that man was trying to kill them . to me , that 's a big accomplishment . jason : have you heard anything more about valentin ? sonny : [ sighs ] yeah . i had diane follow up . he was extradited . he 's locked up in greece . why ? jason : he was pretty good . he 's a pro . i do n't think he 'd give up too easy . sonny : all right . well , i 'll keep an eye out for spencer 's sake , for sam 's sake . you sure you want to marry back into that ? really ? [ both laugh ] jason : sam 's relatives , i mean , what are you gon na do , right ? but , yeah , i want to marry sam , which is why i need to talk to you . sonny : about the wedding ? listen . carly -- i 'll calm her down . you know how she gets . jason : i know how she gets . i know how she gets . whatever she plans is gon na be great . that 's not it . sonny : what can i do for you ? jason : well , see , um , i need a best man . [ scene_break ] kristina : this is fantastic ! i mean , we can just forget everything that happened , just start over . i am so glad that i came . parker : kris . kris , honey . wait . you 're not hearing me . we should 've never slept together . we should 've never gotten involved . i am your professor . i was the first woman that you had feelings for , that you were attracted to , and you got caught up in that . but we can never be a couple . i have nothing to give you . kristina : but you do . you have feelings for me . i 'm never happier than when i 'm with you . and that night that we made love was the best night of my life . i do n't understand why you would want to push me away . parker : kristina , listen to me . i 'm gon na go back to my wife . [ scene_break ] alexis : look , i am not proud of my altercation with kristina . no parent wants to fight with her child , particularly in public . but , as you can see , i 'm a little tense lately . so , no , i did at the time , and i certainly did n't plan to help julian by discrediting myself . the whole idea of that is -- it 's absurd . jordan : alexis , the visitor 's log indicates that you went to see julian in his cell . what the hell are you two discussing ? alexis : none of your damn business . i do n't appreciate this ambush , jordan . i do n't answer to you . in fact , i do n't answer to anyone right now , because i do n't have the time . i need to go talk to my daughter , go find her , because she did n't come home last night . jordan : your behavior yesterday -- it was erratic , and it was unlike you . so , if this is n't part of some deliberate scheme , then what is it ? you have emotional problems , then put them in check before this trial . alexis : like i said , i do n't answer to you . jordan : well , let me tell you something . you are not going to screw up this case , alexis . alexis : go to hell . seriously , go to hell . [ scene_break ] kevin : it is a beautiful morning . i think we should go to the waterfront for break ... fast . laura : what is this ? [ scene_break ] nelle : okay , so , i have all your contacts in my phone , mr. corinthos 's numbers , too , a list of food avery likes , her binky she needs to go to sleep , extra diapers , of course , a sun hat , sweater . carly : wow ! you are the most prepared babysitter i have ever met . and avery fell in love with you last night , so i 'm not worried . you guys are gon na have so much fun . nelle : oh , well , you know what ? i love kids . so that 's why i 'm a teacher 's aide . carly : yeah . nelle : but i should get going . um , morgan needs to get to work . carly : all right . well , you guys have fun . nelle : okay . [ cell phone rings ] nelle : oh . it 's my supervisor , mrs. o'brien . hello . hi , mrs. o'brien . we were just talking about you . [ chuckles ] what ? [ scene_break ] sonny : so , you want me to stand up for you when you marry sam ? you know , carly is not gon na like it . i mean , she expects to be your best person in the universe . jason : yeah . i -- i know . and carly knows how much she means to me , but ... i 'd be honored if you 'd be my best man . i know i have n't been around a lot -- sonny : well , the mess with nikolas and all that -- jason : look , you know , as my memories come back , i 've been thinking a lot about you and how much you taught me , how many times you said that family is the most important thing . and , that said , i ca n't think of anybody else i 'd like to have standing next to me when i marry sam . so , if you have any advice to give me now , i could -- sonny : advice ? with my track record ? i do n't think that 's a good idea . jason : well , look , i think you and carly have finally figured out this whole marriage thing . you know what 's important . sonny : well , it means a lot that you think that . [ cell phone rings ] sonny : [ clears throat ] it 's max . jason : take it . sonny : hello . what ? what website ? i do n't know -- i do n't ' know -- i do n't know what you 're talking -- okay , i 'll check it out . jason : what 's wrong ? sonny : i 'm not completely sure . [ scene_break ] andré : hi , beautiful . jordan : hey . andré : i hated that i had to leave so early this morning after such a wonderful night last night . but , then my patient cancelled , so i thought i 'd surprise you . what ? jordan : nothing . um , this is -- this is great . this is a great surprise . andré : mm . you do n't look like it 's so great . what 's going on ? jordan : alexis . [ scene_break ] alexis : only 100,000 views at this point . what a mess . [ knock on door ] alexis : you heard . sam : hi . whoa . heard about what ? alexis : never mind . sam : never mind ? alexis : okay . you left a message . what 's going on ? sam : um , so , um ... jason and i told sonny and carly about the engagement . we did n't say anything about the baby news , because i think i 'm not far along enough in my pregnancy to be saying anything to anybody yet . alexis : okay . i 'm not going to say anything . sam : okay . good . alexis : did you tell him that your wedding 's right around the corner and you do n't have any plans yet ? sam : yes , we did . and carly actually offered to have the wedding at her house , on the terrace , and we said yes . alexis : and that 's not good ? sam : oh , no , mom . it just occurred to me that i did n't even ask if we could have it here . i do n't want you to feel like i 'm excluding you from anything . alexis : honey . honestly , i 'm -- i 'm okay about it . sam : you sure ? alexis : no worries . i just want you to have the wedding that you want . sam : okay . thank you . alexis : and , truthfully , with all the publicity that 's going on ... [ cell phone ringing ] alexis : ... with your father and his upcoming trial , it 's probably best you do n't have the wedding here . [ ringing continues ] [ ringing stops ] sam : okay . um , molly texted me , and she wanted me to check in with you about last night . she did n't give me any details , but i can see that you 're not happy . you want to tell me what 's going on ? [ scene_break ] kevin : laura -- laura : i was n't snooping . i knocked this stuff over by accident , and i found this letter that makes it very clear that you have a publishing deal . kevin : can we talk about this , please ? laura : and then , i look at this manuscript about an unnamed woman with a history of mental illness who 's looking for her ex - husband , following clues from a dead woman . you are writing about me . when were you going to tell me about this ? i mean , i know we made a joke of it when we were on the island , but i did n't think that you would ever actually do that . are you just going to stand there and deny it ? kevin : no . [ scene_break ] sonny : i 'm honored that you asked me to be your best man . and i do n't know if i made myself clear , but the answer is yes . i will stand by you when you marry sam . for good this time . do n't be like , `` fourth time is a charm `` like me and carly . jason : this is definitely it . this is it . sonny : and , as far as the advice that you wanted -- be true to yourself and always protect your family . i think you 've -- you 've done both . jason : thanks . [ scene_break ] jordan : julian has been living beyond the law for way too long , and i 'm not going to let him wiggle out of this one . andré : jordan ... what 's wrong ? jordan : have you not been listening to me ? are you not listening ? i 'm telling you what 's wrong . andré : no . it seems to me that this is more than just you fearing good police work will go down the drain or that the force might somehow look bad if julian jerome is acquitted . jordan , what is really going on ? jordan : [ sighs ] there 's something that you should probably know . i used to work undercover with the dea , and i lost a lot of my life , and i damaged my relationship with my son because of julian jerome . he 's got to face justice right now . we finally , finally have a case . i 'm not going to let this happen , no matter what alexis or anyone else does . [ scene_break ] alexis : it 's been one hell of a morning , and i do n't want to wreck my time talking about something that should n't matter anyway . so , can we please just focus on you ? sam : okay . alexis : okay ? sam : all right , we 'll talk about whatever it is that you do n't want to talk about later . alexis : okay . sam : okay . so , jason is asking sonny to be his best man . and i ca n't really -- i do n't have it in my heart to decide between kristina and molly . and , to be honest with you , i could n't imagine anyone else standing up for me rather than you . so , would you be my best girl ? would you stand up for me ? alexis : i will be your best girl . sam : you will ? alexis : i will be your best mom . sam : good . alexis : i will walk you down the aisle . i will do whatever you want , because , clearly , your father wo n't be able to make it . sam : yeah . alexis : let 's not talk about him . i want to do anything i can to help you with your wedding . i also want to know when i can tell people about it , and i can brag about being a grandma again . sam : okay . alexis : okay . sam : sounds good . alexis : i love you so much . sam : i love you . alexis : and i want to spend more time with you , but there 's stuff i need to handle . sam : i know . i understand that , and i 'll let you do that . but when you 're ready to talk about it , yeah ? alexis : i will . sam : okay . alexis : you know . you know i will . sam : all right . i love you . alexis : aw , i love you so much more . go . sam : okay . i 'll see you soon . alexis : bye , baby . sam : bye . [ scene_break ] parker : amanda and i realize that we need to work on what we have . kristina : what you have ? you 're divorced . parker : not completely . we were in the process . kristina : oh , just shut up , parker ? i ca n't hear it . parker : i understand that this is hard . i just have to be honest with you about where things are . kristina : honesty has nothing to do with it . you lied to me ! parker : no , kristina . i did n't lie to you . kristina : that night at the metro court , you told me that your marriage was over , that it had been for a long time . parker : that 's what i believed at the time . kristina : you broke down , and i comforted you . that 's why we made love that night , because you let me believe that you were free to be with me . i idolized you . i thought you were this great person , someone to admire , to emulate , to love . i thought you had real feelings for me . but you used me , just like everyone said you would . parker : kris , it 's a very complicated situation . kristina : not really . it 's the oldest cliché in the book -- young student crushes on professor , professor is bored in the marriage , looking for a little outside action , plays into stupid and , you know , naive student , sleeps with them , kicks them to the curb , and then goes back to the spouse that they had never had any intention of leaving . and all those lectures about how i should discover myself and my sexuality -- that was just a big smoke screen , so you could avoid the truth about yourself . you 're a weak , selfish person , and i never want to see you again . [ scene_break ] kevin : i agreed to the original booking of february of 2015 . it was meant to be a non - fiction collection of cases i 've had , stories about patients and types of treatment , but the book just was n't coming together . i was badly stalled , and i was even considering giving the advance back . and then , out of the blue , you came to me , and you asked me to help you decipher helena 's codes . solving that mystery , following those clues -- that renewed my creativity . suddenly , i had the impetus to write again . it just was n't about the original book . laura : so you wrote about me ? kevin : yes . but let me be clear -- no one has seen anything that i 've written so far . laura : were you ever gon na tell me about any of this ? kevin : of course . of course , i was . i would never move forward without showing you the work and getting your approval . you do n't believe me . laura : look how long you 've been at this ! y - you never said a word to me . you never mentioned it once . you kept it from me . kevin : [ sighs ] laura , i never intended to betray your trust . laura : [ sighs ] i have one question . kevin : anything . laura : yeah . what part does our love - making play in any of this ? hmm ? is that just sort of a , i do n't know , a good conclusion to your story ? because i have a very different ending in mind . [ scene_break ] carly : hey . nelle , what 's wrong ? nelle : [ sighs ] there was a meeting with the superintendent of the county today . bottom line is , i lost my job . there were budget cuts . carly : i 'm so sorry . nelle : you know what , i 'm gon na be fine . it 's gon na be okay . i just -- mrs. o'brien said she 'd give me a good recommendation , but i got to get back to atlanta as soon as possible to start applying for jobs . carly : okay . well , mrs. o'brien could n't have been more complimentary about you . so i 'm sure her recommendations are going to go far . nelle : yeah . yeah . well , um , the sooner i get back , you know , the sooner i can apply for stuff . so , i 'm gon na enjoy my day with avery , and , uh , say goodbye to port charles since i 'll be leaving tomorrow . [ scene_break ] kevin : laura , please . i 'm certainly not going to publish that now . i 'll burn it . laura : good . kevin : laura , what happened between us last night has nothing to do with any book . laura : [ scoffs ] kevin : what happened between us is real . laura : am i supposed to just take your word on that ? you know , a lie of omission is still a lie . kevin : ca n't we talk about this ? laura : no . goodbye , kevin . [ scene_break ] sam : mmm . so , how 'd it go ? jason : it went well . sonny agreed to be my best man . sam : good . well , my mother agreed to be my matron of honor ... jason : good . sam : ... which i think is going to be really good for her , get her mind off all the craziness that 's going on with julian . jason : okay . you sound worried . what 's going on ? sam : well , i mean , something happened , and i asked my mom about it . she does n't want to talk about it , so i did n't want to push . so , that 's that . i did n't push . okay . you have your best man . i 've got my matron of honor . we 've got a date , a location . now we just need someone to marry us . jason : oh , yeah , that . i got that covered . sam : what ? jason : i got it covered . sam : what ? jason : i got it covered . sam : wait a minute . what is that supposed to mean ? jason : i got it covered . [ scene_break ] parker : kristina , i did n't mean -- kristina : just go ! go the hell away . [ scene_break ] [ knock on door ] alexis : [ sighs ] hi . sonny : what happened ? ! alexis : i do n't want to talk about it . sonny : well , you know what , that 's my daughter in this picture spread all over the media , so you 're gon na tell me what happened right now ! [ next_on ] sonny ( to alexis ) : what are you going to do to make it right ? paul ( to tracy ) : convicting julian is my highest priority . ava ( to julian ) : i know that you 've got some fight left in you . elizabeth ( to franco ) : our upcoming date has been on my mind . hayden ( to laura ) : going somewhere ? heather ( to naomi ) : you 'd better pay up or else . laura ( to robert ) : i do n't believe it !
alexis finds out , unknown to her , that what she thought was a private confrontation between herself and kristina , at the metro court , has been made public . jordan goes to confront her about that and questions if alexis did not purposely `` plan `` this in order to diminish her own credibility in court when she testifies against julian . hearing that , alexis angrily demands to know why she 'd even consider such a thing , reminding her that because the cops have failed to do their jobs with julian , she wore a wire and he almost murdered her . yet , jordan reminds her , that very recently before she agreed to wear the wire , she was protecting julian for months , agreed to marry him and believe him when he said he 'd changed . so how is she supposed to trust or believe that alexis would not do it again ? alexis is furious with that and when jordan is alone with andré , he tells her he can clearly see she has some very personal anger toward this beyond simply being the police commissioner who wants to put julian away . she then reveals to him , for the first time , that for many years , she went undercover for the dea and it cost her many years of her life as well as her relationship with her son . and so , now that they 've finally got all they need to put julian away for good , she can not bear the thought of him getting away with his crimes again and can not let anything or anyone pose a threat to that . sonny is happily with sam and jason after finding out they are getting married when he gets notification of alexis ' and kristina 's public brawl and goes to confront her , reminding her it 's his business since it involves his daughter . kristina goes to see parker and is once again `` taken `` by getting her hopes up when parker admits she still has feelings for her . yet parker declares she 's getting back with her wife , to which kristina concludes she knows parker has been using , manipulating and deceiving her and she never wants to see her again . laura is happily with kevin after they 've spent the night together . she makes it clear she wants to be with him yet she discovers he 's been secretly writing a book that sounds like he 's writing about her without telling her . this changes everything for her as she tells him she wonders if he has been deceiving and using her and she tells him she no longer wants to be with him . carly is ready to get nelle started and has complete trust that she can be the perfect nanny for avery . yet she finds it odd that when she happily introduces nelle to jason and sam , that nelle does not want hers ' and sonny 's best friends to know that she saved josslyn 's life by donating her kidney . nelle still knows how to make carly believe she is a hero . yet she suddenly declares she 's gotten a call from her boss in atlanta to inform her an issue has occurred that requires her to return there . carly suspects nothing with that although it may be cause for concern .

[ scene_break ] kiki : [ scoffs ] this makes no sense . dillon : i know . you 've got a beautiful sunset in front of you , you 've got a refreshing pool , you 've got a hot dude at your beck and call , and what are you doing ? kiki : trying to get to the bottom of organic chemistry . dillon : i 've got something you can get to the bottom of . a cool libation . what did you think i meant ? kiki : i would love to spend the next few hours sipping margaritas poolside , but if i 'm gon na get into the accelerated pre - med program , i have to study . dillon : fine . i will just , um , work on my tan line .

[ door closes ] dante : okay . charlotte is , uh , fast asleep . lulu : aww . that dance class must 've knocked her out . dante : yeah . right ? lulu : never really liked ballet . it was too strict , too regimented . dante : mm . lulu : i was more of a free - form kind of girl , even at charlotte 's age . dante : mm . lulu : she loves it . she always talks about how valentin and nina took her to see `` the nutcracker `` ... and `` sleeping beauty . `` dante : what 're you thinking ? lulu : that valentin is a ruthless bastard , more than capable of exploiting charlotte 's feelings to get what he wants . dante : [ sighs ] he 's not subtle , that is for sure . unfortunately , he had a -- he had a good point . [ sighs ] we got to be careful over custody . i mean , he 's got money , he 's got a good lawyer , he knows how to play the judge . he could very well be the one to end up with full custody . lulu : obviously , charlotte loves her father . obviously , she wants him in her life , but she is too young to know who he really is . he shot kevin , he murdered my brother . dante : i know . look , and i -- and i wish we could bring him to justice for doing that , but we ca n't . the reality is -- lulu : the reality is that valentin has two very different sides . i mean , on one hand , he is a doting father . he 's a man who would do anything for his little girl . but on the other hand ... he is a monster . if i let charlotte have one , then ... i have to be willing to accept the other .

[ scene_break ] mac : all right , when was the last time you saw sage ?

brook lynn : i 'm not trying to break up dante and lulu , and to be honest , i 'm offended that you even suggested it . michael : look , i may not know you very well , brook , but i am an expert on my mom . she was furious at dante and lulu when i got sent to prison -- dante for being the catalyst and lulu for taking a side . and nobody holds a grudge tighter or closer than my mom does . brook lynn : right , so you say . but what i 'm saying is that people can grow and people can change . michael : yeah , well , i heard you on the phone . you were ordering very expensive furniture . and are n't you supposed to be broke ? look , brook , just admit it . my mom hired you to break up dante and lulu , did n't she ? brook lynn : okay , how do i put this one ? um , michael , i know that you just got out of prison . okay , i get that . you have murder charges , you have cover ups , it makes perfect sense to me why you would think that everything was a conspiracy . but just think about this for a second . it 's kind of crazy . it 's really far out , is n't it ? michael : no . it makes perfect sense . my mom is relentless when she 's set on payback . she probably made you an offer you ca n't refuse , and you know what , i do n't know , maybe you have your own reasons for wanting to hurt dante and lulu . lulu : well , i got ta give it to you , brook , no grass grows under your feet . working michael is n't going to further your progress with dante . you still have to get through me . i 'm not budging . [ scene_break ] dante : how is he ? maya : well , he caught a bullet . dead center chest , point blank range . dante : so did i , and i 'm alive . mind you , my mother showed up , called the ambulance . i do n't know how long johnny was lying in the street bleeding . maya : well , there 's extensive internal damage . and despite how successful surgery went , there 's an excellent chance johnny could die . which basically means your father is up the river . not a paddle in sight . [ scene_break ] sonny : you got good news ? diane : oh , i wish i did . johnny zacchara is unconscious . actually , he 's in critical condition . so even if he wanted to back up your story , which i highly doubt , he ai n't talkin ' . claire walsh was thoughtful enough to come forward with a recording which proves pre - meditation -- sonny : it was self defense ! diane : on your part . ahem . there is no indication that john zacchara had any kind of weapon or that he threatened you in any way . so , no , sonny . good news ? no , there 's no good news here . you are looking at an attempted murder charge with a very iffy shot at bail . no pun intended . [ scene_break ] [ sam laughs ] [ gunfire ] jason : you okay ? sam : yeah . looks like lopez and his family found us after all . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : but do n't you worry , i am going to make this work . because being with nikolas and spencer is good for all of you , they 're your family . and i guess wyndemere can be kind of fun . your brothers feel like they 're living in a castle , and nikolas has been extremely gracious with all of us , incredibly forgiving of me . i 'd be the most selfish person in the world to let my discomfort stand in the way of all of this . it may never be my home , but it 's part of your legacy and you should know about it . and now i 'm going to stop rambling and let you take a proper nap . what do you say , hmm ? nikolas : you should see the boys , they 're having a blast . the three of them are taking turns riding nip it all over the place . elizabeth : aww . i 'm sure they 're loving that . nikolas : yeah , they 're getting along like they 've been doing it their whole lives . elizabeth : well , congratulations , it 's called a family . you finally have one . nikolas : yeah . how are you and aiden ? elizabeth : we 're enjoying our leisurely morning . nikolas : good , good , i 'm glad to hear that . elizabeth : yeah , we 're really enjoying ourselves . [ scene_break ] maya : so you were hoping to question johnny ? dante : yeah , i need to get a statement from him as soon as he can make one . maya : well , that might be a while . johnny 's not in good shape . dante : yeah , i heard you . um , unconscious the whole time ? maya : he woke up briefly in the e.r . dante : did he say anything ? maya : i said we 'd fix him up . he wished me luck . dante : anything else ? maya : he had asked me to call your mother , and then changed his mind . dante : all right , well , i wo n't touch that one for obvious reasons . did he talk to anyone else ? maya : ethan . dante : you spent some time with johnny , right ? maya : some . mostly when johnny 's with ethan . i mean , i 'm certainly no authority . dante : well , maybe you have an insight and you just do n't realize it . maya : what are you asking me , exactly ? dante : what does your gut tell you about johnny ? maya : [ sighs ] well , he 's reckless , okay . johnny hates sonny with a blinding passion . and that turns him cold and scary . but he also has a soft side , too . i 've seen him with ethan , olivia , kristina , okay . and despite all the inconvenient mob stuff , i think johnny 's a good guy . olivia : yeah , they do n't come any better . [ sighs ] how is he ? maya : he 's critical . maya : i 'll leave you alone with him . olivia : thank you . dante : thanks for your help . olivia : you just could n't listen , could you ? i know i should have tired harder to get through to him . dante : oh , no , no , you 're not going to blame yourself for this . he chose the path that got him here . olivia : i do n't really want to hear that right now , okay , dante ? [ sighs ] i need you to fight . okay ? you 're gon na get through this . i 'm right here with you . [ scene_break ] sonny : i hate it when you get this defeatist attitude . diane : defeatist ? [ chuckles ] all right , well , let 's go over the facts , shall we ? since that 's actually all i am able to deal with . you have admitted to shooting johnny zacchara and then casually strolling away into the night , leaving the man to die on the sidewalk . now , you claim it was self defense , but there is no evidence to corroborate that , since johnny zacchara was not found with a weapon , and he has tested negative for gunshot residue . then , to tighten the screws just a little more , your favorite federal prosecutor , and mine , claire walsh , has decided to help the authorities by producing additional recording of you saying that you plan to ... wait for it ... plead self defense after shooting johnny in cold blood . sonny : i 've got ta tell you , this time i am innocent . i just got ta find a way to prove it . and it would be nice if my attorney would help me instead of giving me another litany of my sins . diane : oh , believe me . believe me . i plan to defend you to the very best of my abilities . that 's my job . it is also my job to make sure you have a clear perception of where you stand in the eyes of the law . sonny : i understand . get it done . just figure out a way to prove that i 'm telling the truth . call jason . tell him to put spinelli to work . there might be a surveillance tape that has johnny holding a gun . diane : spinelli i can talk to . jason seems to have disappeared . [ scene_break ] [ gunshots ] sam : i guess lopez missed his contraband and went looking . jason : when they found the van , they must have realized we were on foot . sam : well , it could n't have been too hard to do that . [ gunshot ] jason : judging by the amount of gunfire , there 's about 5 or 6 guys . just stay down . jason : see , if they know i 'm armed , it might slow them down enough for us to come up with a plan . sam : jason , we are trapped and outgunned ! i do n't think a plan is going to help right now . jason : we 'll figure something out . [ scene_break ] nikolas : sarah ? hey , it 's nikolas . i 'm good , i 'm good , how are you ? good , that 's good . listen , elizabeth and aiden , they 're great . we got that onesie thing or whatever it is that you sent out , that was great , thank you . the reason i 'm calling is , uh , well , elizabeth finally agreed to bring the boys out to wyndemere and stay for a while . i know , do n't get too excited . she puts up a good front , but she really does n't want to be here . so i was kinda hoping that , i do n't know , that you would give us a graceful out like call your sister and invite her for a visit . yeah , well , is that what i want ? no . i want elizabeth to be happy and that just ca n't happen here . [ scene_break ] brook lynn : so what are you ? the conversation police ? look , lulu , you want me to write this down , 'cause i can leave this posted on your door . michael 's my cousin , too . and i do n't need your permission to talk to him . so if i want to talk to him , i get to talk to him . i 'm not even sure why you 're here , because if you and dante are so in love , then there 's nothing i can do to possibly ruin it , right ? lulu : right . that is my point . brook lynn : well , dante was my friend long before you , and he will be my friend long after you 're gone . lulu : oh , okay , so you missed the part where i said i 'm not going anywhere . brook lynn : no , actually , it 's just that those are the famous words of all of his ex - girlfriends . lulu : wow , brook , you really are such a 2-faced bitch . brook lynn : yeah . anything you want to do about it ? michael : okay , guys , look , you do n't want to fight about dante in kelly 's . let 's just all calm down , okay ? and , brook , why do n't you just do what lulu says and just back off ? brook lynn : i 've thought about it , and my answer is ... no . i 'll see you around , lulu . [ scene_break ] olivia : i knew this day was coming . and i tried and i tried to warn you . and i know you heard me , 'cause you could n't really miss it . i was shouting it so loud from the rafters . but you just did n't care . sonny was determined to kill you , and you were determined to make him try . there was just no way that this was going to end well . for either one of you . and here we are . you just never gave a damn about your own life , johnny . you know , he plays the piano . dante : yep . olivia : yeah . he 's wonderful . a real , a real artist . i 'm not kidding . you should ask him to play for you sometime . it 's just so ... beautiful , it 'll break your heart . that 's the john zacchara that i know . that 's the one that i get to spend time with ; the sensitive artist , expressing his whole life 's pain , fingers to the keyboard . dante : look , mom , i get that you love johnny . and he may be as wonderful as all the things you 're saying he 's wonderful at , but , uh , his life is total chaos , okay ? and once this sonny thing blows over , i guarantee you , within 2 days , he 'll be having a death match with somebody else . you deserve better . olivia : there is no better . [ scene_break ] sonny : what do you mean , jason disappeared ? diane : well , the last time i saw him , jason seemed concerned that sam was going to do something ill advised in an attempt to help him , and my guess is that 's exactly what happened . so now jason is gone off after sam , and sam has disappeared as well . sonny : he 's not answering his cell phone ? diane : and his suv has apparently been abandoned . sonny : it 's not like jason to vanish at this time . diane : okay , well , we do n't have the luxury right now , sonny , of worrying about jason . you have to think about yourself . sonny : i want to talk to dante . diane : no , that 's a bad idea . dante is a cop who hates you . sonny : listen , i know that , but he 's my son . diane : yes ! the son that you shot , point blank in the chest ! does that sound familiar , sonny ? it 's the same scenario that you are now in with johnny ! and we in jurisprudence call that a pattern of behavior . the cops use it all the time to trip up criminals . believe me , detective falconeri is the last person you want to be talking to . [ scene_break ] sam : it was thoughtful of santos to leave the shotgun in the van . jason : yeah , we got ta be ready , but we got ta conserve ammo . sam : yeah , that 's a good idea , since i 'm absolutely no use to anybody at this angle . [ gunshots ] sam : why now ? why now , when this is the one time that i have everything in my life to live for ? jason : we 're going to get through this , i promise you . sam : yeah , but we would n't even be in this mess if it were n't for me trying to get evidence against santos . jason : you were just trying to help me . sam : no , jason , i was trying to keep you with me . [ gunshot ] sam : i told myself the last thing i wanted was to see you locked up again , but this is not what i had in mind . [ scene_break ] patrick : robin , wait . listen to me . i know how much i hurt you -- robin : stop . you have no idea how betrayed i feel right now . do you even remember how this whole thing started ? probably not , because you would n't be doing this right now . well , i 'll tell you . you were relentless . you were determined to tear down every single wall that i had , even though you knew they were there for a very good reason . i did n't even like you . i told you to go away , just leave me alone . but you wore me down and you made me believe that you loved me . patrick : i do love you . robin : just shut up , i 'm talking . you made me believe that my heart had found its home . and so we got married and we had a baby . i was n't supposed to be a placeholder for lisa until she came back . patrick : robin ... i made a mistake , okay . there 's nothing i can do to change that . but one stupid night does n't negate the fact that i love you -- robin : will you stop saying that ? like it helps . like that means anything . like you even know what love means . you 're a liar and a cheat , and the sight of you makes me sick ! steve : all right , that 's enough . that 's enough . you do n't want to do this . you do n't want to do this here , really . robin : i 'm sorry . patrick : robin ... [ scene_break ] lisa : i ca n't believe i 'm in a police station actually lodging a complaint . lucky : well , you must believe you have reason to be concerned . lisa : well , precisely . obviously , it 's embarrassing to admit that i slept with patrick . [ sighs ] i hate clichés . i feel like the old girlfriend who got sucked into the past and had an affair with a now married ex . lucky : yeah , well , they call them clichés for a reason . i mean , you and patrick and robin all work together in a highly stressful environment , and that kind of proximity can lead to this sort of thing if you 're not careful . lisa : well , i mean , if i can offer any sort of justification , it 's that patrick and i were pretty serious back in college . and i moved here , and when we were together again , things just felt familiar . you know , we fell into our old , natural rhythms . and then robin left the country , and nature took its course . and what we did , it was totally wrong . and both patrick and i betrayed robin , and she has every right to be furious . but , in threatening me the way that she did , it seemed too real . so , yeah , i 'm concerned . [ scene_break ] cameron : mom , can i have a pony ? elizabeth : no , baby . cameron : why not ? elizabeth : because we do n't have any place to put a pony . spencer : do n't worry . you can ride nippit whenever you want . cameron : i love it here . i want to stay forever and ever . elizabeth : well , one day at a time , okay ? but we 're having fun , right ? everybody 's bonding -- [ cell phone rings ] elizabeth : hey , it 's my sister . excuse me for a minute . hey , what 's going on ? nikolas : so who 's up for swimming ? all : me ! nikolas : all right , let 's go . let 's go get our trunks on , come on . elizabeth : yeah ? nikolas : let 's go , come on . elizabeth : really , when ? [ scene_break ] dante : can i talk to you for a minute ? look , he 's not going anywhere , neither are we . i just want your attention for a minute . olivia : yeah . dante : [ sighs ] sometimes i look at you , okay , i see this face i 've been looking at my whole life . and my heart gets so full and my throat closes up . getting older is giving me a greater appreciation of who you are , okay . and a deeper awareness of just how lucky i am to have you as my mother . and i know you sacrificed everything for me . olivia : oh , come here . being a mother was not a sacrifice . it was the greatest thing that i will ever do . and i loved every second of it . honey , do n't get me wrong , i love all the praise . but where are we going with this ? dante : you deserve the best of everything . okay ? and i just do n't think you 're going to get it from this guy . olivia : honey , i appreciate the sentiment and where you 're coming from , i really do . but me and johnny , it 's just not your call . okay ? you 're a grown man now . with a life of your own . and it 's time for me to have a life of my own , too . okay , and i get to choose who 's in it . and i choose johnny . now honey , i am really sorry if that makes you unhappy , but you know what , i tried it your way . i did . i pushed him away and i gave him ultimatums . me or the mob , me or sonny , vendetta against sonny . and you know , all that got me was sad and lonely and ... and missing the only man that ever really made me happy . so now it 's not on me to judge john and judge his choices . it 's just on me to love him . dante : well , i guess that 's that . olivia : yeah . dante : better than sonny , i guess . olivia : oh , freakin ' sonny . i guess i got ta know the truth , huh ? did sonny really shoot john unarmed ? dante : honestly , ma , at this point , i have no idea . [ scene_break ] [ gunfire ] sam : what even am i doing ? if putting weight on this ankle is our only way out of here -- oww ! jason : okay , stop . stop . sam . do not try that again . sam : it 's just so frustrating ! jason : i know that it is . but that 's how it is right now . running is out of the question . sam : what are we going to do , wait here and just wait for them to come for us ? jason : yeah . lopez 's guys ca n't shoot forever . they 're going to run out of ammo or -- [ gunshots ] jason : okay . the best strategy is just to stay quiet , let them think that we 're out of ammo or we slipped out the back . and once they come in , we 'll just start picking them off . [ scene_break ] nikolas : hey . so the boys are swimming . do n't worry , i made sure they waited an hour after eating before going in . [ elizabeth chuckles ] nikolas : and norma and one of the stable workers , lifeguard certified , are supervising . elizabeth : wow . you really covered all the bases , did n't you ? nikolas : yeah , i just do n't want you to ever have to worry about the kids being safe with me . elizabeth : i do n't , ever . and just so you know , that whole wait an hour before you go swimming thing , it 's an old wives ' tale . nikolas : maybe , but i just figured , why take a chance when your kids are concerned . elizabeth : look at you . who knew you 'd turn out to be such an awesome dad ? i wanted to talk to you about my sister . she did n't just call to say hi . nikolas : is everything okay ? elizabeth : yeah , yeah , she 's good . you know that she 's relocated to northern california . she loves her job , but i guess she 's having a hard time settling in . nikolas : well , how so ? elizabeth : well , outside of work , she 's not making a whole lot of friends . 'cause you know how she is . shy and sometimes and it comes off as being aloof . so she 's asked if i would come visit her . bring the boys . you know , in a casual , no pressure sort of way . nikolas : right , right . and with sarah , casually usually means that she tried really hard not to beg . elizabeth : yeah , exactly . nikolas : well , then you should go . elizabeth : well , i ca n't . nikolas : why ? elizabeth : spencer is loving having the boys here , and jake and cameron are having the time of their lives , and you are spending time , quality time with aiden . it would n't be fair to just uproot everyone . nikolas : i know , but you said yourself that sarah 's on the other side of the country , trying to start a new life alone . you know , she 'd never ask you for anything , which means she probably really needs you . besides , after everything that 's been happening here lately , it would probably be good for you to get away for a while . elizabeth : that part does sound tempting . nikolas : then go . elizabeth : you know , i 'd be taking aiden with me . nikolas : yes , i know , and i will miss him . but he needs to get to know his aunt , too . it 's all right , spencer and i will be here when you get back . go on , i insist . go . elizabeth : okay . okay , i 'll go . nikolas : great . great , well , then let me make the arrangements . i will make sure that you and the boys have the best possible experience . elizabeth : you 've been so good to us . nikolas : i 'll miss you . [ scene_break ] lucky : here you go . lisa : thank you . lucky : listen , i have to admit to a certain amount of bias . i 've known robin most of my life , and i have to say , i find her to be an extraordinary human being who shows grace under pressure . however , uh , i know the kind of anger that adultery can set off . and i assume you have no reason to lie . lisa : absolutely none . lucky : so what exactly do you want from the department ? do you want a restraining order , or ... lisa : um ... you know , i thought i wanted that when i came in , but talking to you has kind of served as a cooling off period . i 'm starting to think that legal action might be a bit premature , and it 'll probably exacerbate the situation . not to mention that robin and i need to figure out a way to co- exist in the hospital and things are already pretty tense . i mean , it might be impossible for her to stay x - number of feet away from me . lucky : so you do n't want a restraining order , then ? lisa : no , you know , i 'm going to hold off now . and with any luck , the waters will clear and , uh , no further action will be necessary . at least you know what 's going on in case , god forbid , anything should happen . okay , you know what , thank you so much for your time . i really appreciate it . lucky : that 's what we 're here for . lisa : okay . [ scene_break ] robin : i 'm not ready for you yet . come back in a couple hours . patrick : what are you doing ? robin : what does it look like i 'm doing ? i 'm packing your things . patrick : robin ... this is our house . i mean , we 're married . robin : really ? that did n't seem to matter to you when you slept with lisa . patrick : i was wrong . and i 'm profoundly sorry . and i know there 's a lot of hurt and anger there , but we can work through this . we do n't have to break up . robin : look , this is the way that i see it -- cheating is just like abuse . if a man hits you once , he will do it again . and i refuse to be the clueless wife letting you cheat on me over and over again . come back in a couple of hours , please . [ scene_break ] olivia : you know , it was just about this time last summer that you got shot for the first time . and i sat there by your hospital bed just like i 'm doing right now . and i just bargained my ass off . i swore by all that was holy that if your life would just be spared , that i would not waste another second with you . how did you take another bullet in your chest for me to realize that i just , i 'm sorry , i just , i do n't give a damn what side of the law you 're on . i do n't care if you 're right or wrong . i just want to be with you . either i take you the way that you come or i got ta walk away for good . i ca n't keep having it both ways . i ca n't keep having one foot in and one foot out the door . so this is me . i 'm in . i 'm going to love you for who and what you are . with everything i got . okay , you just got ta wake up and let me tell you . [ scene_break ] dante : you wanted to see me ? sonny : any progress ? dante : well , i looked over the file . nothing evidentiary indicates that johnny was armed . sonny : johnny had a gun . he pointed it at me and i shot him in self defense . dante : i know that 's your story and you 're sticking to it , but there 's nothing to back that up . i went to the hospital to question johnny , but he was unconscious . heh . that was surreal , really , seeing him lying there with the exact same wound i had when you shot me unarmed . sonny : totally different situation . dante : i do n't think so . someone got in your way , you fired first and regretted it later . sonny : you were unarmed . i knew it , i pulled the trigger anyway . and i 'll regret that for the rest of my life . but i 'm going to tell you again , and i 'll tell you again and again and again . johnny stopped me on the street , pointed a gun right at me , and i shot him in self defense . dante : you keep saying that . the problem we have here is that i do n't believe you . [ scene_break ] patrick : robin , please do n't shut down on us . robin : you shut us down , not me . patrick : i made a mistake ... robin : a mistake . a mistake , really ? what you did was so much bigger than that . what happened earlier , me screaming at the top of my lungs , telling everyone at the hospital our personal business ? that was not me . it was like this out of body experience where i could feel it coming . i knew that i had to ride the wave because i could n't stop it . i do n't want to be that person . that 's what your betrayal did to me . i just ... i refuse to act like that . patrick : well , you 're hurt because you 're angry . you hurt because you care . because you 're invested in our marriage , and -- robin : can you please just give me enough courtesy and respect to get out of my face until i finish packing your things ? please .

[ gunfire ] [ scene_break ] dante : you know , i find myself wanting to believe you . i went to the hospital to question johnny hoping he 'd back you up . that was wishful thinking , but i thought i 'd indulge . then my mother shows up . this quiet , dignified pain , like she knew the drill . like she knew she had to stay strong for johnny . and then i realized it 's because she 'd been there before . at my bedside . when her son was shot , unarmed , point blank . sonny : totally different situation . totally different situation . dante : that 's only in your mind , is it . you just decided to shoot , once again , a guy who could n't defend himself . i 'll never forget the look on your face that day . the coldness in your eyes , the grim resolve . the lack of any emotion whatsoever . all i have to do is think of that day , and i know you could have shot johnny unarmed without even blinking . sonny : you think i did n't learn anything from shooting you ? you 're wrong . i learned one of the biggest lessons of my life . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : spencer , thank you for being such a perfect host . spencer : it was fun . elizabeth : [ laughs ] and once again , i thank you for being a miracle worker . my head is spinning so fast from how you put this all together . nikolas : well , once in a great while , the cassadine fortune is actually a good thing . cameron : when can we come back ? nikolas : well , you can come back any time you want , buddy . but right now you have to be a man and help your mom take care of aunt sarah and aiden . can you do that for me ? cameron : yeah . nikolas : all right . elizabeth : all right , well , we better go before we miss our flight . nikolas : all right . elizabeth : spencer , take the boys out to say good - bye to alfred , okay ? go on , jake , you go with spencer . nikolas : go with your brothers . okay . okay , so off on another travel adventure . this one will be better this time , i promise . elizabeth : i 'll send you pictures every day , if you want . nikolas : yeah , i want you to , that would be great . elizabeth : okay . nikolas : all right , bye . bye . elizabeth : bye , spence . see you soon . nikolas : oh , boy . spencer : i wish they could stay longer . nikolas : yeah , me , too . it would have been nice having them here , would n't it ? well , you 'll find as you get older that sometimes you just have to love with an open hand , you know ? and hope .

[ scene_break ] steve : all i 'm saying is , it might be a good idea to take some time off . lisa : okay , i have no intention of running away just because robin felt it necessary to tell the world that i slept with her husband . okay , i do what i do , and i do n't really care much what other people think or if they like it . unless you 're saying that there 's some sort of problem with my work . steve : no . no , of course not . you 're one of my best . but patrick and robin -- lisa : oh , my god .

[ scene_break ] sonny : i thought i had good reason for killing you that day . it was the right decision for the business . you had gotten in too far . you knew too much . you were a cop . you were working me , and you were working my family . what i did n't know is that i would end up shooting my own son . and i thank god every day that you survived , even though you hate me . but here 's the lesson that i learned -- it has to be an even playing field . if there 's a man standing in front of you and he 's unarmed , does not mean that he 's a threat . he should not be met with lethal force , and i said i would never do that again . and i did n't do it with johnny . he drew on me , i took my gun out and i shot him to save my own life . now i 'm asking you ... to believe me . not as a cop , but as my son .
michael figures out that carly hired brook lynn to break up dante and lulu . dante asks maya about johnny 's condition and she tells him that johnny might not survive . olivia goes to sit with johnny in the hospital . she tells him that she loves him and wants to be with him no matter what side of the law he is on . she asks dante if he thinks johnny was unarmed when sonny shot him , but dante tells her that he does n't know what to think . dante goes to the police station and tells sonny that they do n't have any evidence that indicates that johnny was armed but sonny sticks to his self - defense story . he tells dante that he learned from his experience with shooting dante that an unarmed opponent does n't need to be met with lethal force . he says he is n't asking dante to believe him as a cop , but as a son . diane tells sonny that he is looking at an attempted murder charge with bail unlikely . diane tells sonny that jason has disappeared so he ca n't help . meanwhile , someone shoots at jason and sam at an old house in the woods .
robin : if jason does agree to the surgery , it is going to be a tough one . patrick : well , the fragment -- thank you . the fragment could n't be in a worse position , which is why i have to operate . nobody else can handle it . robin : yes . you know how i always bitch about your arrogance ? patrick : yes , i do . robin : this time i need you to be arrogant . i just wish i could be there with you . patrick : even if sonny had n't given you an open wound , you would n't be in that or , robin . you 're too close to jason . robin : i still think you need backup . i want matt to assist . patrick : no way .

[ scene_break ] carly : i want to talk to you about what happened . michael : i 'm gon na see jason . carly : no , you 're gon na listen to me . your father is out of control . michael : mom , the plane crash was not dad 's fault . the evidence shows that jax hotwired his own plane . carly : sonny tampered with the plane so he could have jax taken god knows where and have him killed , if not do it himself . michael : you have no proof . you 're just looking for a reason to turn against dad . carly : a reason is standing right in front of me . sonny has always tried to protect you from the business , and now he wants to lean on you for what , validation ? michael : that 's good . carly : no , it 's not good . he 's using you , michael . sonny 's out of his mind right now . michael : so now dad 's crazy for counting on me . carly : sonny has an illness he refuses to treat . it 's called revenge . he 's not rational and it 's his own damn fault . michael : you 're always like this when you 're mad at dad . you hate him until you do n't anymore . carly : no , i always came up with a reason to go back . and now i wish to god i 'd let sonny fall so he ca n't drag someone else i love down with him . [ scene_break ] jason : this surgery 's risky . maybe there is some things that you want us to do before . sam : what things ? jason : you know , get married , try for a baby . a lot could happen in a month . sam : yeah , i know , jason . you could have another seizure and die . jason : or i could go into the or and not come back . do you want the extra time ? sam : that 's not fair . that 's not fair . you ca n't put that on me . it 's got to be your choice , jason . i mean , if i lose you -- jason : it 's a life that i 've asked you to share . ok . i want us to decide together . what 's it gon na be ? [ scene_break ] michael : look , i remember what dad 's breakdowns are like . he locks himself in a room , he screams , he smashes things . carly : i should never have exposed you to all that . michael : mom , it 's not about what you did in the past , it 's what you 're doing now . you 're blaming dad , calling him crazy , when jax is the one who tried to steal josslyn , and all dad did was try and stop him . carly : that is sonny 's version . he 's twisting the truth to get you to be on his side when no one else will . michael : well , i believe in dad . is n't that what family 's supposed to do ? [ scene_break ] robin : hey . you will be the lead surgeon , you will be the one actually doing the procedure . patrick : the last thing i need is matt 's ego contradicting my every move when i 'm in the or . matt : maybe robin knows that i would be an asset , and you 're just intimidated . patrick : thank you for proving my point perfectly . he can not be objective . matt : you are just trying for a do - over because of your earlier screw - up . patrick : look , you 're gon na get in that or and try and show me up and hotdog some move -- robin : hey . enough , enough . ok ? jason 's life is on the line . i am not gon na put up with this juvenile crap a second longer . i want real arguments as to whether or not matt should assist . matt : we do n't know what kind of complications will arise . another pair of hands will be crucial . patrick : matt 's focus is on me , not on the patient . he should not be in that or . elizabeth : i agree . [ scene_break ] sam : are you offering to put the surgery off for my sake ? jason : i want to marry you . and i want to raise our child if we 're lucky enough to have one . if i go in that surgery tonight , these things might not happen . sam : yeah , i know . i mean , that 's true . either way , we could wait and have the wedding on september 23 . and , well , we could make love like bunnies every day . jason : that 's a deal . sam : it is ? good . because it 's not a guarantee that i 'm gon na get pregnant now or in a month from now . jason : what about the wedding ? sam : i know i 've been making a big deal about it , but really , jason , i think that i would want to spend every second with you . jason : hawaii ? sam : yeah . it would be perfect . do you think that we could probably get that house that we rented ? jason : yeah , i think that we could arrange that . sam : that would be good . remember those water fights ? jason : how can i forget ? sam : they were so fun . and the stars , they looked so close lying under that lanai . oh , i remember i would come up from the beach and i 'd see you sleeping . what am i talking about ? every time i came up , i was ... afraid that i 'd lost you . jason : i 'm sorry . sam : do n't be . you did n't do this , jason . this has been waiting to happen ever since aj drove you into a tree . jason : i 'm just sorry that it 's easy for me , because if the surgery fails , i 'm not gon na be the one left behind . sam : what are we gon na do ? jason : you 're the gambler . so do you want to risk the time that we have now to try and buy some time for later ? [ scene_break ] matt : you do n't want me in on jason 's surgery ? elizabeth : i think it would be counterproductive . carly : is this about jason ? is there a problem ? matt : elizabeth seems to think so . elizabeth : i just want the team working on him to be focused on the job and not their personal differences . matt : patrick and i challenge each other to do our best work , and jason needs us both . patrick : he has n't even agreed on the surgery yet . and if he does , i pulled him through last time , and i did it alone . matt : oh , yes , that was 6 years ago , unless you 're talking about that biopsy that he did n't need . elizabeth : ok , you see , the friction between the two is going to be a distraction . matt : if you want to go in there on this one - man vanity project and kill the guy , fine , that 's on you , but you already killed his son . robin : matt . that 's it . you 've gone too far . sam : hey . in case you 're interested , i just talked to jason . carly : so is jason gon na have the surgery ? sam : we discussed it and came to a decision together . jason 's best chance is to have the operation now , right ? robin : there 's still no guarantees . it will be a difficult surgery no matter when it happens . patrick : but sooner , the better . sam : ok , jason and i agree . you can do the operation as soon as you 're ready . patrick : great , great . we 'll go tonight . prep is already in place . sam : good . monica : is there an update on jason 's condition ? michael : patrick 's going to operate . matt : as soon as we agree on a surgical team . robin : we agreed that patrick will be the lead surgeon . it 's my call whether or not matt assists . matt : my brother wants to attempt the impossible . not only that , he wants to do it solo . sam : what is wrong with you ? did you not get it the first time i said it , dr. hunter ? i do n't give a damn about your issues with your brother , and i really resent the fact that you 're using jason 's surgery as a pissing contest . matt : i apologize . if my presence in the or would be a distraction , then it would be a mistake for me to be there . sam : you can not go in there because you feel like you need to prove something to your brother . this has to be about jason . patrick : i do n't bring my emotions into the or , sam .

[ sniffles ] something 's wrong . all right , i 'm gon na call him , okay ? we 're gon na find out that he 's with her right now . olivia : okay . i hope so . sonny : this is sonny . i ca n't talk right now . you know what to do . olivia : what 's wrong ? alexis : he 's not picking up . sonny : you got to breathe , okay . no , no , no , no . hey , listen . listen . we 're gon na be together for the rest of our lives . we 're gon na wake up every morning , and i 'm gon na look at you , and i 'm gon na t -- connie : [ whimpering ] sonny : i 'm gon na tell you how much i love you . you understand me ? connie : [ crying ] sonny : okay . listen to me . you got to talk to me , okay ? who did this to you ? can you tell me that ? can you tell -- 911 . what 's the nature of your emergency ? sonny : sonny corinthos . listen , there 's a -- i need an ambulance . court -- there 's a gunshot to the -- to the stomach . it 's pretty bad . the metro court . third floor . hurry up . connie : [ whimpers ] sonny : no . [ whimpers ] dante : hey . mac : hey . how 's the baby ? lulu : terrific . fabulous . i may be a little biased . dante : no , you 're telling the truth . she 's amazing . she did n't need to be in the incubator . they got her in nicu for a little while to make sure everything 's okay , but it sounds like she 'll be coming home pretty soon . mac : that 's great . lulu : how 's maxie ? is she awake ? mac : you probably do n't know this , but there were some problems after the delivery . lulu : what happened ? mac : when they were closing maxie up , she started hemorrhaging . lulu : what ? dante : is she okay ? mac : she 's gon na be fine . you know , it was touch and go for a minute , but you know how strong maxie is . dante : yeah . lulu : oh , thank god . if something happened to maxie when she was giving birth to our child , i could never live with that . dante : can we see her ? mac : maxie 's sleeping right now . felicia 's in with her . lulu : i can imagine she must be totally spent . mac : actually , she was pretty upset , you know . they sedated her . dante : yeah . sure . after what she went through . mac : mostly , i think she was confused . dante : confused ? mac : and full of pain meds . the operation was quite an ordeal for maxie . she , uh ... i do n't think she was expecting that . lulu : is there something you 're not telling us ? mac : maxie was asking for the baby . she seems to think it was hers . spinelli : apparently we still agree on one thing . the impossibility of telling the new parents the truth . ellie : you started to -- or i thought you did -- when you said we were fighting about the baby . spinelli : how could i explain my real meaning ? dante and lulu were glowing with happiness . am i just supposed to blurt out that that sweet -- that sweet little girl in there is actually mine and maxie 's ? how do i deliberately smash their heart into a thousand pieces ? ellie : i know ! that 's how i felt ! spinelli : ah . i very much doubt you have ever felt like i feel like right now . ellie : [ sighs ] point taken . just to clarify , when you said that you ca n't tell them the truth ... did you mean now ... or always ? i mean , are you saying that you 're gon na hide the truth from dante and lulu ... forever ? ava : derek . derek : yeah , uh , thank you for coming . ava : what happened ? you sounded positively unhinged on the phone . is your cover blown ? derek : um , n - not exactly . ava : well , what is this ? you completely lose your cool . you summon me down here for a very public meeting when in theory we barely know each other . now is certainly not the time to be cryptic . derek : okay , forgive me for not being as coherent as you 'd like . ava : just tell me what the hell is going on . derek : okay , um , you know the sick kid with leukemia ? ava : yes . of course . m morgan 's son . related to the quartermaines . kiki was tested as a donor when she was still supposed to be a `` q. `` derek : yeah . yes . uh , well , i got tested as a donor , as well , and it turns out that i am a , um , match . ava : oh . well , that 's quite a coincidence . you 're not even a blood relative . derek : actually , it 's , uh , it 's not a coincidence . i am a blood relative . i am the kid 's ... grandfather . alexis : he 's probably not picking up because he 's with her right now and all is well . olivia : all is not well when i see a vision of my cousin lying on the floor in a pool of her own blood . okay , i know that my visions are not always literal , but this was -- this was unmistakable , alexis . something 's wrong . i know something is wrong . i 've got to get over there . alexis : you 're not going anywhere in that condition . i 'll drive you . let 's go . olivia : i hope it 's not too late . michael : the coffee should be ready in a few minutes . [ sighs ] okay , look , aj , you need to wake up , okay , and you got to talk to me . tell me where you 've been . look , i know -- i know things seem really bleak right now , but drinking is not the answer , okay ? you ca n't just -- you ca n't just give in . okay , we need to look forward . look , i 'm with you , dad , okay . i 'm with you . we can fix this . we can rebuild . aj : you ca n't fix anything . it 's too late . you ca n't fix it . ca n't fix it . sonny : hey , do n't . do n't you die . do n't do this . you got to open your eyes . [ sobs ] hey . do n't -- do n't go , okay ? [ heartbeat ] [ breathes deeply ] [ crying ] [ heartbeat quickens ] ava : you 're joking , right ? how in the hell are you the grandfather of sam morgan 's baby ? derek : uh , because i had sex with the kid 's grandmother . ava : you serious ? derek : completely . sam 's mother is alexis davis , and when she found out that i was a match for danny , she was visibly relieved and not to mention a little giddy . i mean , seriously , what are the proper boundaries when you find out that a virtual stranger is gon na save your grandson 's life ? ava : yeah , except according to you , you 're not a stranger . derek : [ sighs ] alexis told me that she was unable to locate sam 's father or , obviously , have him tested because sam was a result of a one - night stand that she had while she was attending boarding school in new hampshire . ava : new hampshire . where you went to school . derek : and the only thing that she could remember about that night was that the guy 's name was julian . ava : well , that 's not very flattering , is it ? derek : oh ! hilarious ! can you try to be serious about this for a second ? ava : i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry . are you sure about this , julian ? the story sounds very vague . derek : i remember that night . as soon as she talked about being in the car and my friend knocking on the window and telling me they were leaving , i flashed on the memory , and i realized that it was me . i ... [ chuckles ] had a one - night affair with alexis . i never saw her after that . i just left school , and i moved on with my life . i had no idea that she , uh ... that she got pregnant . that girl , sam , is , uh , is my daughter . [ sighs ] [ sighs ] spinelli : i - i do n't know what i 'm gon na do . i - i have n't even processed the -- the incredible fact that i 'm a ... [ voice breaking ] i 'm a father . how could you put me in this position ? ! ellie : [ crying ] i 'm sorry ! i never meant to hurt you ! spinelli : what am i gon na do ? ! how can i possibly tell them ? ! w - w - what would i say ? ! ellie : i understand how difficult this is for you , damian , but you have to tell them right away because the longer you hold this secret in , the worse it 's gon na be . spinelli : are you serious ? ! it is because of you and maxie that it 's gone on this long ! the right time to tell them and me would have been the -- would have been the minute you found out ! ellie : i know that ! and no matter what you think , i had every intention of doing that , but i waited , and i wavered , and then i allowed my doubt and second thoughts and my own fear to creep in , to overcome my better judgment , and i 'm sorry . but please , please do n't make the same mistake that i did . spinelli : you are in no place to be giving advice , ellie . ellie : actually , i think i 'm uniquely qualified . because i know exactly how it feels to keep this secret , and i know what it 's cost me . damian , this has been tearing me up for months ! i have wanted to tell you so many times , and i started to , but i just could n't because i 'm scared ... because ... 'cause i love you ... so much . can you ever forgive me ? lulu : i guess we were just being overly optimistic before . we should have know that maxie 's attachment to our baby would n't just disappear . she carried her for nine months . how could she not be connected ? dante : right . so it 's just gon na take some time . mac : no , i think there was more to it than that . [ cell phone rings ] dante : sorry . hang on one second . falconeri . yeah , what 's up , charlie ? uh , okay . yeah , yeah . i 'll be right there . i got to go . lulu : no , you do n't . no , we just had a baby . tell them to get someone else . dante : there 's been a shooting , okay . lulu : who ? dante : i do n't know , but sonny 's the person who called it in . sonny : aj aj : i blame you and you alone for destroying my life ! sonny : aj , get your hands off her ! michael : it was n't fair that you were forced out of elq , okay , but that does not mean that we 're finished . i mean , l - let tracy have the company , you know . let her build it up or run it into the ground . who cares , you know ? we -- we can start our own company . our own brand - new company . we wo n't owe anybody anything . just -- well , except whoever provides the financing and ... look , the point is -- is we can rebuild , okay ? we c -- we can fix this . okay , but first -- first you have to get sober , all right ? so let 's just sit up . aj : [ groans ] michael : all right , i 'm gon na go get the coffee , some aspirin , and , uh , lots of water . just ... just promise me you 're not gon na take off , right ? aj : oh . michael : even though you 're not really capable of walking . all right . aj : [ sighs ] dante : i 'll be back as soon as i can . and , uh , kiss that little baby for me . lulu : i will . i hope everything 's okay with sonny . dante : me too . god knows what mess he 's gotten himself into now . sonny : that son of a bitch . aj quartermaine is not gon na t away with this . i promise you ... ... on my love for you . mac : i 'm , uh , sorry dante had to leave , you know . being married to a cop can be difficult , so felicia tells me . lulu : i 'm hoping things will be different now that the baby 's here , but that might just be wishful thinking . like believing that maxie would just get over her attachment to the baby right away . i 've been worried about maxie for a while now . and whenever i would ask her about it , she would just -- mac : you asked maxie if she was getting too attached ? lulu : well , not in so many words . obviously this is awkward , 'cause maxie did something amazing and generous , and my daughter would n't be here if it was n't for her . i mean , not to mention the sacrifices she made . she was haunted by the fear of stretch marks and reduced to wearing what she calls `` safety heels . `` mac : 3 1/2-inches or less . she mentioned it repeatedly . lulu : maxie makes a point of playing shallow and vain . and underneath , she is -- she 's this loyal , incredible friend . so how was i supposed to say to her , `` oh , hey , maxie , do n't love my baby that you 're carrying inside you too much . `` but i did question some of the things that she said . like when she started calling the baby `` georgie . `` but she always had this reasonable or , at least , maxie - esque excuse . but i knew that there was something more to it . sometimes i felt like maxie really convinced herself that this baby was hers . mac : actually , today , maxie thought that spinelli was the baby 's father . lulu : spinelli ? why would she say that ? mac : uh , i do n't know . maybe it was shock or all the drugs talking . but , um , she probably wo n't even remember when she wakes up . lulu : dr. chu is certain that she will recover . mac : she 's stable and strong . right now , it 's a matter of letting her rest . lulu : [ sighs ] i feel like i should stay here . i owe maxie so much . mac : you know what ? hey , um ... i 'll let you know if there 's any changes , okay ? now go . go be with your daughter . lulu : thanks , mac . mac : okay . [ sighs ] spinelli : forgive you ? ellie , to be absolutely frank , i ca n't even look at you right now . ellie : [ sniffles ] spinelli : even if it was maxie 's idea to lie to me ... you were the one i loved . ellie : `` loved `` ? as in ... past tense ? damian ... spinelli : you told me the truth . now go . damian . [ sniffles ] i love you . and i 'm so sorry . sam : silas , this is derek wells , the donor - to - be . derek , this is danny 's doctor , silas clay . he 's , uh , he 's gon na be doing the procedure . derek : oh , uh , please call me derek . silas : it 's very nice to meet you . derek : oh , uh , you , too , dr. clay . silas : and very generous of you to donate your bone marrow . i promise you wo n't feel a thing . derek : [ chuckles ] why do n't i believe you ? silas : was it that obvious ? how about you ? you want to give up any expendable organs ? no ? then what are you doing here , ava ? ava : derek is a client . sam : that 's right . that 's right . you were buying art from her . i saw you two together at the newspaper . are you sure about this ? a - are you sure you have n't changed your mind or anything ? derek : of course not . why would you say that ? sam : i do n't know . it 's just the look the face , the way you 're looking at me . derek : um ... [ camera shutter clicking ] olivia : let me through . i 'm connie falconeri 's cousin . this is her office . you ca n't go in there . olivia : oh , my god ! alexis : hey , hey , hey , hey . olivia : connie ! what happened to her ? ! is she okay ? ! alexis : charlie ? charlie , what is it ? olivia : what ? ! what is this ? ! wh -- let me go ! alexis : she 's gone , olivia . olivia : what ? no ! no ! dante : hey , hey , hey , hey ! hey , what happened ? what happened ? olivia : she 's gone . dante : she 's what ? olivia : she 's dead . [ crying ] i 'm sorry , detective . we could n't let your mother enter the crime scene . dante : no , no , no . olivia : i got to get in there . i got to see her ! i got to be with her ! dante : no , you do n't need to see her . you do n't . olivia : who would do it ? who would do this ? my cousin . my best friend . [ sniffles ] spinelli : [ chuckles ] she 's so beautiful , is n't she ? lulu : yeah . she is . derek : oh , uh , i 'm sorry if it seemed like i was staring . i 'm fine . i 'm just , um ... i 'm glad that i can help your son . sam : glad . not as glad as i am . silas : look , i have quite a few things to prepare before we get going . would you mind meeting me here tomorrow morning , and we 'll get the ball rolling ? derek : of course . i 'll clear my schedule . silas : great . how 's 9 : 00 a.m. for you ? derek : look forward to it . silas : i would n't do that . the tests are pretty boring . ava . ava : dr. clay . silas : i 'm gon na go back and check on danny , okay ? sam : yeah . i 'm gon na come with you . um , derek , i really , really ca n't thank you enough . thank you so , so much . thank you . do not even think about getting close to that girl . derek : what ? i had no intention -- ava : i saw the way you were looking at her . she can not know you 're her father without everybody knowing that you are julian jerome and very much not dead . and then all of our plans will go up in smoke . olivia : [ crying ] i do n't understand . [ sniffles ] who could do this ? why would anybody want to kill connie ? dante : where 's sonny ? alexis : i have n't seen him . why ? dante : well , he 's the one who called this in . alexis : all right , look . i know you need to question him , and as his attorney , i can spout a bunch of legal precedents , but i 'm talking to you now as the mother of his kid and to you as his son , you need to go gently on him , please , because he 's gon na be grieving , and he does n't handle his grief well . olivia : why should he ? ! why should he handle this well ? ! why should anyone handle it well when something like this happens ? ! this should not happen ! this should not happen ! dante : look at me . look at me . look at me . okay ? i 'm gon na work this out and figure out what happened , okay ? can you stay with her , please ? alexis : of course . olivia : [ sobs ] dante : where 's sonny ? i do n't know . he was n't here when we arrived . maybe he went after the shooter . dante : what makes you say that ? take look . look like she tried to identify her assailant . sonny : get up on your feet , you worthless bastard . aj : [ grunts ] ow . [ grunts ] sonny , what -- what is it ? sonny : you 're gon na ask me that ? ! you 're gon na ask me what it is ?
dante and lulu wonder what ellie and spinelli are fighting about . spinelli says they are fighting about his baby , but he does n't reveal that their baby is biologically his . lulu encourages ellie to change her mind about not having children because it is such a wonderful feeling to look at a little person and know that you created that life . ellie asks spinelli why he did n't tell dante and lulu the truth . he says he did n't know how to break their hearts . she says he has to reveal the truth immediately . he sends her away . mac tells dante and lulu that maxie hemorrhaged after the c - section , but that she is fine and resting in recovery . he reveals that the doctor sedated her because she is confused and thinks the baby is hers . lulu says she has been worried about maxie for a while . mac says maxie even thought spinelli was the baby 's father . he says she will probably not even remember saying it when she wakes up .
dante : any movement ? nathan : no . dante : let 's roll . pcpd ! oh , god . lucy : officer ? officer . ooh , sorry . sorry . listen , if you just do one teeny , tiny little thing for me , i promise i wo n't bother you anymore . just tell me , is the pcpd any closer to finding maxie jones and lulu falconeri ? officer : look , i have no information . lucy : well , someone had -- [ rapping on desk ] sorry . someone had some information . i know . i want to see anna devane . officer : the commissioner is very busy . lucy : i 'm sure she is , but come on . she always makes time for me . do you realize who i -- scott : well , i would know those legs anywhere . nice to see you , lucy . lucy : [ sighs ] officer : thanks for looking after the suspect , mrs. falconeri , mr. ashton . olivia : yeah . ned : he put up quite a struggle while your partner was dragging him out of here . officer : we 'll deliver mr. ratcliffe to the station . olivia : and do me a favor . you make sure the d.a . does n't let coleman skate on those charges . officer : i 'll [ chuckles ] pass that along . olivia : watch him flip his hair and charm the judges . ned : olivia , that wo n't happen . he confessed to abetting t kidnappers . the police have him dead to rights . olivia : i just hope you 're right . [ sighs ] ned : how can i help ? olivia : please , ned . you 're helping just being here , putting up with me . ned : putting up with you is the easy part . what 's next ? olivia : pray , i guess , that dante and nathan find our girls before that aussie maniac hurts them . nathan : is that what i think it is ? dante : yeah . it 's blood . franco : carly ? what 's wrong ? what are you doing here ? julian : it 's been a long time since we 've had a word . man : he 's clean , boss . sonny : come on in , julian . if you 're here to get your painting back , do n't bother 'cause it 's mine . julian : well , if you want my sister , you ca n't have her back , either . sonny : you do n't think ? what the hell do you want ? julian : i want to do you a favor . ava : come now , michael . you must have saved room for dessert . michael : oh , i can make room . kiki : [ laughs ] she might not cook , but she makes a killer dessert . ava : well , kiki , i would n't put it quite like that . michael : it smells delicious . is that espresso and chili powder ? ava : this powder is derived from oleander . most people do n't know they 're toxic . julian : so , you think you can just sprinkle it on his food and he wo n't notice ? ava : well , if it 's mixed with a bittersweet dessert , he wo n't . and michael -- he 's far too well mannered to criticize his host 's cooking . julian : well , it gives a whole new meaning to `` death by chocolate . `` ava : that 's quite a nose you have there . michael : yeah . well , there 's nothing i like more than a good mocha mousse . kiki : i ca n't believe you remembered . i told her that it was your favorite . michael : oh , look at you , always looking out for my best interests . ava : what are you waiting for ? dig in . franco : you okay ? carly : yeah , i 'm fine -- fine . franco : you do n't seem fine . carly : i am . franco : really ? carly : i 'm here because i owe you . franco : you owe me ? carly : yeah . that -- that romantic night that we were supposed to have , you know , when were stuck in the elevator and not having pizza and wine with me . franco : yeah , pizza and wine that you shared with your mom ? carly : yes , that pizza and wine . so , you know , i want to make it up to you and take you out on a surprise date . franco : you two were having a nice bonding moment , and i turned it into ugliness by accusing you of hooking up with sonny . carly : can you not do that ? i do n't want to -- franco : i 'm the one who messed up , carly . i do n't know why you think you owe me . sonny : what kind of favor do you think you can do for me ? julian : the kind that 'll keep your family alive . sonny : you know , to anybody else , that may sound like a favor , but to me , it kind of sounds like a threat . julian : it 's no threat . sonny : no ? julian : i 'm here to offer a truce . sonny , we do n't have to be enemies , you know . port charles is big enough for both of us , plus our business interests -- they do n't exactly overlap . sonny : right , but , see , you move drugs . i do n't . julian : exactly . no reason for conflict . we can call a cease - fire -- mutually agree to steer our organizations clear of each other . sonny : just one question -- where the hell is this coming from ? kiki : mom , this is so good -- so good . why have n't you touched yours yet ? michael : i 've been waiting for you to come up for air . you ate that in like 5 seconds flat . kiki : and so will you . michael : no . a mocha mousse is a delicacy . it 's meant to be savored . kiki : okay . i 'd like to watch you try to eat that slowly . you wo n't be able to . michael : really ? kiki : yeah . michael : observe . kiki : [ laughing ] okay . ava : stop . kiki : what 's wrong ? ava : i have something to say . kiki : now ? ava : i should have said it before you ate yours , but -- michael : well , there really was n't much time . kiki : okay . shoot . ava : well , i [ clears throat ] i just want you to know how grateful i am that you 're here , kiki . and , michael , i 'm in your debt , truly , for putting the difficulties between our two families aside and joining us . i know that i 'm not perfect . i 've been accused of terrible things , and i have done many things that i regret , all of which we know about , none of which we need to rehash presently . i just want you to know , both of you , that everything i do , i do for my family ... i do for you , kiki , even though it might not always seem like that . i would do anything to protect you , my sweet girl -- anything . michael : well , uh , you and i have that in common . keeping kiki safe is important to me , too ... to the point where i backed out before even thinking . you should have seen how i lost it when i found out luke was coming on to her . ava : i beg your pardon ? tracy : of all the rib joints in all the world ... martini , please . ned : mother , this is the one time -- tracy : do n't let me distract you from your outer - borough girlfriend . ned : please . we need to talk . tracy : really ? did i leave something at the house ? oh , please . feel free to just throw it right on the bonfire . olivia : what bonfire ? tracy : the bonfire that ned and monica cavort around every night , celebrating my eviction from the house my dearly departed brother was stupid enough to give monica . ned : if you would just listen to me -- tracy : and do nothing for a minute . then you can get your bensonhurst bimbo to evict me from the metro court , because if you try it , i will sue your ass right back to brooklyn . ned : damn it , mother ! will you just shut up ? ! lulu ... has been kidnapped . scott : if you wanted to see me , you could have stopped by my office . lucy : i know , and that did n't happen , did it ? so , that means ... scott : means that you did n't want to be obvious about it . lucy : it means i did not come here to see you . scott : fine . you 're on official police business , then ? lucy : yes , actually , i am . i came to see if you or anna or anybody could tell me if there 's any breakthrough finding maxie and lulu . scott : well , i 'm sorry to disappoint you , lucy , but all i can tell you is detective west and detective falconeri are on the case . nathan : you do n't think this belongs to maxie or lulu , do you ? dante : we ca n't think that way . nathan : hey . this is maxie 's ... and lulu 's . neither of the dresses are torn . there 's no blood . maybe that 's a good sign . [ banging ] dante : police ! do n't move ! nathan : scribner ? dante : check him out . see if he 's armed . nathan : okay . no , he 's got nothing -- just a bullet wound and a lot of blood . dante : okay . you stay here with him . i 'm gon na check this place out . nathan : scribner ? scribner , i need you to open your eyes for me , all right ? can you do that ? need you to open your eyes . come on . dante : cabin 's empty . what 's his deal ? nathan : thready pulse , shallow breathing . jeffrey : [ coughing and gasping ] nathan : hey . dante : hey ! scribner ! scribner , hey ! you hear me ? you understand me ? you know what i 'm saying to you ? that 's good . now , where the hell is my wife ? lucy : i - i ca n't stop thinking , what if it was us ? scott : what if what was us ? lucy : sabrina . i mean , i know she 's a little younger than maxie and lulu , but i keep thinking , `` what if someone took her ? what if we were them worried about her ? what if we did n't know where she was or what they were doing to her ? what if she was -- `` scott : lucy , lucy , come on . y - you ca n't think like that . lucy : i ca n't help it ! that 's all that keeps going through my head , over and over ! scott : look , we are lucky enough to have a strong , smart daughter who got that from her strong , smart parents . now , if she saw some creep at 20 paces , she would have the sense god gave a goose to cross the street . lucy : you 're right . we -- we did a really good job , did n't we ? scott : against all odds . and so did mac and felicia and laura , and , as much as i hate to admit it , so did luke . i know that you think maxie and lulu are very small , very vulnerable , but they come from a long line of formidable people . they will be okay . lucy : thank you . whoa , whoa , whoa , whoa , whoa . oh , no . enough is enough . scott : enough is enough what ? lucy : no . stay back . no touchy - feely . keep your pocket square in your pocket . do not touch me again until you have made a decision -- me ... or bobbie . carly : well , it may not be obvious to you why i owe you , but it 's obvious to me . franco : okay . do you want to explain it to me , then ? carly : i just should have been up front with you about sonny kissing me . franco : yes , you should have , but , given my reaction , i think , you know , it was probably sensible to keep it from me . carly : no . no , it was n't . if i would have told you the truth about how i pushed sonny away , i could have avoided so much confusion and confrontation and all this anxiety that i caused you . franco : it 's all out in the open now , right ? let 's just -- let 's just think about you and me now . carly : and our date . franco : yeah , our date . carly : okay . franco : i think maybe we should take the stairs , though . carly : [ laughs ] franco : and , uh ... i have something for you . carly : for me ? franco : yeah . these are for you . carly : these are for me ? franco : mm - hmm . carly : you 've never given me flowers before . franco : well , there 's a first time for everything . carly : ohh . franco : yeah . carly : who are david and jennifer ? franco : yeah , that 's kind of a funny story . julian : i think i 've been very clear about my reasons . ending hostilities will be beneficial to both of us , detrimental to neither . sonny : so , you 're saying it 's like we 're gon na share the wealth ? is that what you 're saying ? julian : look , what i 'm trying to tell you ... sonny : mm - hmm ? julian : ... is that it 's about seeing my own son shot , holding him while he was bleeding in my arms . it 's about watching alexis ' house being burned to the ground . sonny : i had nothing to do with that . you must have pissed somebody off . julian : i think you 're missing the point . i want to avoid my loved ones being caught in hostilities . sonny : i have never taken aim at anybody in your family . can you say the same for me and mine ? we have different methods , different ways of doing things , different codes . you understand ? so , we 're not gon na have peace until you stop breathing . julian : [ chuckling ] wow . i was hoping that , uh , common sense would prevail , but i can see that i was wrong to appeal to you , even on behalf of your loved ones . so , i guess you 're right -- we ca n't coexist in the same territory after all . sonny : it 's my territory . you 're just passing through . julian : i 'm not going anywhere , sonny . sonny : i do n't see it that way . sooner or later , you and your sister -- you 're just gon na be a bad memory . ava : what did you just say about kiki and luke ? michael : wait . you did n't tell her ? ava : tell me what ? kiki : it 's nothing . ava : does n't sound like nothing . kiki : it 's nothing because it 's over and it was n't that important to begin with . can you just let michael eat his dessert ? ava : no -- not until you tell me what happened between you and luke . kiki : it was a very revolting experience that i would rather not relive . ava : i 'm not asking you to relive it . i 'm simply demanding that you tell me every single thing about it and right this instant . kiki : okay , okay ! [ sighs ] remember the day of aj 's funeral , when you walked in on morgan and me and you got the wrong idea ? ava : yes . kiki : okay . morgan was comforting me because of something that had happened with luke that day . ava : what sort of something ? kiki : [ sighs ] that morning , i was at my dad 's apartment , and it was the morning , so i was in a tank top and shorts , and luke showed up . he kind of pushed his way in to the apartment , and -- ava : he pushed his way in to your home ? ! kiki : he wanted to scold me because he said i was interfering with his relationship with tracy . ava : interfering how ? kiki : because i told tracy that luke was coming on to me , and luke was not having it . ned : they chartered a boat take maxie and lulu from the haunted star . there was supposed to be a rendezvous , but their fence has been apprehended . tracy : thank you for telling me . olivia : [ sighs ] ned , i - i need to -- to call sonny and let him know what 's going on . ned : are you sure you want to be the one to tell him ? olivia : yeah . yeah . sonny and i may have our differences , but , uh , when the chips are down , family puts that stuff aside , and , like it or not , sonny and i are still family . ned : i 'll keep lulu in my thoughts . made it so easy ned : olivia 's right . tracy : about what ? ned : family . i know you love lulu . tracy : [ sighs ] like a daughter . ned : and for that reason alone , you need to call luke . tracy : [ sighs ] ava : did luke get physical with you ? kiki : he tried to . michael : do n't -- do n't give that guy a pass . he was a total perv . ava : really ? how totally pervy was he ? kiki : well , uh , he was a bit grabby , but i was able to fend him off . michael : he tried to pin her , and she kneed him in the groin . kiki : michael . michael : your daughter 's not exactly frail and helpless . ava : kiki , why did n't you come to me or -- or report him to the police ? kiki : well , because , up until then , yes , luke had been disgusting , but it was harmless . ava : disgusting how ? kiki : creepy . like , he would put his hand on my knee and -- okay , he grabbed my ass . ava : that is not harmless ! kiki : okay , mom . ava : that is assault ! kiki : i 'm sorry ! i probably should have told you . ava : probably ? ! kiki : definitely , but i - i did n't want to say anything . ava : why the hell not ? kiki : because look around at where we are . luke is a god here . i 'm just the girl who left one brother for another . who would believe me ? ava : i would . and we could have handled it together . kiki : i told tracy that luke was coming on to me . ava : was n't she furious ? kiki : oh , she was furious , all right , but with me . ava : how long did this go on ? kiki : it went on for a while , but it 's over now . it 's done . it 's done . ava : kiki , i - i do n't even know what to say . michael : [ sighs ] look , when i found out , i went ballistic , okay ? but since then , we 've taken the steps to neutralize luke , and we 're pretty sure he 's out of the picture . kiki : yes , we are . so , can we please just move on with our night and try to enjoy it ? michael : amen . ava : do n't eat that ! lucy : i 'm asking you to please choose me , and you ca n't make a decision between me and bobbie ? scott : i have n't really had an opportunity to think about it . lucy : that is not true at all . you had a perfect opportunity . we stood there right in front of you and said , `` choose me `` or `` choose me . `` but you could n't do it , could you ? we said , `` you can not have both . make a decision . `` but you would n't do it . i just wanted you to answer the question and choose me , and you had to be a coward and weasel out of it . scott : i had a meeting ! lucy : with anna ! scott : she 's the commissioner ! i 'm the district attorney ! lucy : you hate meeting with her . you never want to meet with her . you always weasel out of meeting with her ! scott : but my job is to arrest people , like today ! i have a case to contend with ! lucy : okay . okay , fine . exactly . you have a case . you are the district attorney . i will give you that . and so i 'll tell you there 's never gon na be a day when there 's not a case , so let me put it in your terms . put bobbie and put me on your docket . i want you to choose me , make that decision , but you have to tell me , what do you want ? kiki : what is wrong with you ? ! you just knocked the mousse out of his hand . ava : sorry , michael . you were collateral damage . michael : uh , no problem . i - i empathize . kiki : with her bitch - slapping your dessert out of your hand ? ava : i just found out that luke spencer attacked you after weeks of harassment . please do n't expect me to laugh it off and continue with dessert like nothing happened ! kiki : mom , i just told you that it 's over . ava : no , it is n't ! it 's not over ! and it wo n't be over until i make that bastard pay ! tracy : luke , it 's me . will you call me the minute you get this ? it 's ... it 's an emergency . ned : mother , are you okay ? tracy : [ sighs ] no , i 'm not okay , and i 'm not gon na be okay until lulu 's okay . ned : is there any other way of reaching luke ? tracy : like what -- smoke signals , carrier pigeon , snapchat , whatever that is ? ned , i have e - mailed him , i have texted him , i have called him , and short of talking into a tin can with a very long string , i have reached out . ned : okay . well , if you want , i 'd be happy to help you track him down . tracy : using elq 's resources , i assume ? ned : if he 's gone off your radar , that might be the best possible way to find him . tracy : you 'd just love that , would n't you -- using my company 's resources to track down my husband / accomplice ? ! ned : you may have forgotten , but i 'm a father , too , okay ? and as much as i dislike luke , lulu is his daughter ! he needs to know what 's happened to her ! carly : what 's going on ? what happened to lulu ? sonny : thanks for stopping by , julian . it 's been very productive . julian : [ sighs ] do n't say i never warned you . sonny : goodbye . [ cell phone rings ] sonny : olivia ? olivia : there 's trouble , sonny . some maniac kidnapped lulu . sonny : i know . jeffrey : [ groaning ] oh ... that ... hurts ! help . dante : help ? you 'll get help as soon as you tell us what happened to maxie or lulu . nathan : who did this to you ? was this maxie or lulu ? jeffrey : no -- dunkleman . nathan : levi shot you ? jeffrey : he turned on me . dante : when ? how long ago ? jeffrey : oh , please ! dante : talk to us ! nathan : hey , hey , hey . scribner , scribner , i 'm gon na put pressure on the wound now , all right ? and it 's gon na hurt . it 's gon na hurt . but it 's gon na slow the bleeding . okay . now tell us what happened . jeffrey : i told the girls we were gon na let them go once we fenced the jewels , but levi -- dante : levi what ? jeffrey : levi said that was n't the plan . i told him i did n't want to -- i did n't want to hurt the girls . so he shot me . ohh ! nathan : i got you . i got you . stay with us . stay with us . dante : so , what happened then ? what happened ? where 's levi ? where did he take maxie and lulu ? jeffrey : levi took them . dante : where ? where ? ! where did he take them ? ! jeffrey : [ coughing and gagging ] carly : well , what 's going on with the search ? have they found anything to lead them to maxie and lulu ? ned : olivia and i were here . dante and another cop arrested coleman in connection with the kidnappings . carly : coleman ? ! what the hell does he want with maxie and lulu ? ned : nothing . but , apparently , he was the intermediary for the kidnappers . the plan was for him to fence the stolen jewels . franco : oh , fence the stolen jewels ? heavens . was there a heist ? tracy : for god 's sake , would you pay attention ? franco : i am paying attention . ned : it 's complicated . carly : i have to call sonny . ned : actually , you know what ? olivia just called him . carly : lulu is sonny 's daughter - in - law . franco : yeah , i know that . carly : he has connections that the police do n't have . he can help here , you know . franco : olivia is gon na take care of sonny , okay ? let her do that . you and i -- why do n't we go down to the police station and figure out what we can figure out on our own ? carly : what about our date that we were supposed to have ? franco : well , i 'll hold you to your promise , but ... let 's face it -- i want all of your attention , and i 'm just not gon na get it tonight . and that 's okay . we 'll have our date as soon as your cousin is safe . come on . let 's go . no arguing . sonny : i spoke to dante , and i told him he should hit up coleman 'cause he might know the guys who took lulu . olivia : well , it 's a good thing you did . those guys that took maxie and lulu -- coleman is their fence . he was supposed to meet up with the bastards , but something happened and the meeting did n't happen . sonny : did they say where the -- where the meeting was ? olivia : i do n't know . some -- some cabin somewhere . dante and nathan west high - tailed it up there . they 're hoping that they 're gon na hit the jackpot and bring lulu and maxie home tonight . dante : ambulance is on the way . how 's our patient ? nathan : he 's out cold , but he 's holding on . dante : think he 's gon na make it ? nathan : the sooner we get to the hospital , the better . dante : yeah , he 's gon na make it . he 's got to , because right now , he 's our only lead to maxie and lulu . scott : how can you ask me that now ? lucy : no time like the present , i guess . scott : well , at the present , two women have been taken hostage . how am i supposed to make some major life decision ? lucy : really ? are you really saying you have n't already made that decision ? you do n't know ... what you want ? scott : what ... i want ... is ... to -- lucy : to what ? what you want is to ... ? [ cell phone rings ] scott : i want to answer my phone . lucy : no . just let it go to voicemail . scott : oh , no , look . it 's anna devane . i got to take this . lucy : you never take anna 's calls . scott : i know , but we 're in the middle of a situation here right now . this could be about maxie or lulu . may i take the call ? lucy : yes , you 're absolutely right . it 's a serious situation . take the call . see what i did there ? see what i did , though ? i answered your question . scott : hello ? lucy : [ sighs ] [ indistinct conversations , telephone ringing ] [ door closes ] kiki : please promise me that you will let this go . i do n't want you drawing luke 's attention , and i do n't want him targeting you . ava : too late . julian : oh , i 'm , uh , sorry for interrupting . i thought you 'd be finished by now . ava : yeah . you know what ? um , all of a sudden , i 'm exhausted . i hope you do n't mind if we call it a night . michael : no , that 's -- that 's fine . we can go see alice before visiting hours are over . kiki : yeah . michael : all right . kiki : well , good night , mom . michael : thanks for dinner . ava : you 're very welcome . it was my pleasure . i hope we do it again . and next time , michael , two mousses for you . kiki : [ chuckles ] [ door closes ] julian : nice touch , inviting the kid back right after you set his death in motion . so , how long until the poison takes effect ? ava : it wo n't . i granted him clemency . michael : well , me and your mom have something in common . she hates what luke did to you just as much as i do . kiki : well , that 's very nice of you , considering you 've never really liked her and she just kung - fu 'd your dessert across the room . michael : yeah , that was -- that was weird . kiki : yeah , weirder than usual , which , for my mother -- that 's saying a lot . julian : you were gon na poison michael , and then you stopped ? why ? ava : because . because i found out that our boss , the luke spencer look - alike , has had his sights on my daughter . were you aware of his pattern of lewd behavior , foisting himself on kiki ? julian : i mean , he may have made a few comments . ava : no , i 'm talking about wisecracks or wolf - whistles . that bastard might have raped her if kiki had n't fought him off . and now he 's ordering me to take out her boyfriend , and i 'm supposed to think that it 's simply business , that it 's just a coincidence that killing michael would remove an obstacle to my daughter ? julian : i have no idea what goes through that man 's mind . ava : well , i do . that animal is thinking with his bits , and i need to cut them off . julian : what are you doing ? ava : oh , i 'm gon na get him online , and i 'm gon na put him on notice . julian : you will do no such thing . sonny : listen , why do n't we just go to the police station -- right ? -- and that way we can get an update ? olivia : that 's a good idea , but i got to relieve the sitter . sonny : i think we can persuade the sitter to , you know , work overtime . olivia : yeah , you 're probably right . poor rocco . you know , the kid 's just back with his parents for five minutes , and his mother gets snatched away . sonny , what if they do n't let her go ? what if they decide lulu is more trouble than she 's worth ? sonny : olivia , listen -- that 's not gon na happen . if these guys are smart , they know there 's no upside to hurting lulu . olivia : why -- because they 'd be tagging on more charges ? sonny : because if they do n't hurt lulu , i might let them live . olivia : i want in on that action . sonny : deal . olivia : i 'll see you at the pcpd sonny : i 'll be right there . scott : thank you for keeping me posted , commissioner . carly : scott , does anna have information about maxie and lulu ? lucy : what did she say ? are they save ? where are they ? scott : all right , one at a time . franco : i do n't see why they have to take turns . they 're asking the same question . carly : tell us what the hell you 're doing to find maxie and lulu ! scott : i know you 're concerned , carly , but my tolerance for your pushiness is at a limit here . carly : i just got here . scott : well , how 'bout that ? franco : okay . hold on a second . getting upset is n't gon na help anybody , least of all lulu and maxie . we just need a little information -- okay ? -- something to hold on to , scott . please , dad . scott : `` dad `` ? y - you 're gon na play that card -- the dad card ? [ sighs ] anna spoke to dante . he said that they tracked down the guy posing as the immigration agent -- scribner . lucy : wait . then what happened to maxie 's horrible fiancé ? scott : well , he took off with lulu and maxie . carly : okay . well , does this scribner guy know where he took maxie and lulu ? scott : well , he 's not in very good shape right now . before absconding with maxie and lulu , levi shot scribner . the paramedics are bringing him in , but he 's not in good shape . now , if he does n't regain consciousness , detective west and detective falconeri are back to square one , and god knows where that leaves lulu and maxie . dante : the ambulance should be mines away from g.h . by now . no , me and west -- we 're gon na stick around here . we 're doing our best to avoid contaminating the scene . no , there 's -- there 's plenty -- plenty of evidence for a c.s.u . team here to come in and gather . we 're just trying to find a lead right now . no . me and west are staying here . we 're staying here till we find something that points us to maxie and lulu . kiki : i do n't know why my mom would suddenly say that she was tired . she seemed pretty wound up to me . michael : well , she was furious with luke -- not that i blame her . kiki : okay , but to go ballistic like that ? she could have blinded you the way she knocked that mousse out of your hand . michael : yeah , that 's the last time i 'm letting your mom come between me and my dessert . ava : remove your hand before i feed it to you . julian : why -- so you can call our boss -- tell him to keep his filthy hands off your daughter ? ava : for starters . julian : hmm . and then what are you gon na do to follow that up -- tell him you did n't complete the assignment , michael 's still alive , and you have no intention of killing him ? hell , if that 's your plan , go right ahead . you 'll move right to the top of the hit list , and i 'll finally be rid of you . ava : he 's a threat to my daughter . he 's probably somewhere in his lair right now , figuring out another way to get to her . i refuse to take orders from a man who targets my child , unlike you . julian : that is exactly what you 're gon na do . look , for all we know , he 's lost interest in kiki and he 's turned his attention toward someone else 's poor , unsuspecting daughter . but look -- if you piss him off , he might want to teach you a lesson and use kiki to do it . ava : what should i do ? i mean , i ca n't -- i wo n't -- kill michael after this . julian : i think you have to hand our employer something of equal or greater value . personally , i can only think of one thing that fits that bill . ava : sonny 's head on a platter . julian : yeah . you have to get a copy of that recording that implicates sonny in aj . quartermaine 's murder . i mean , that 's the only play that you have left . tracy : luke , i can not stress enough how vital it is that you get ahold of me . it 's about lulu . call me back right away . ned : my offer still stands . i 'll have elq security locate luke . tracy : contrary to whatever you think , luke is not d.b . cooper or jimmy hoffa . he has not disappeared . he 's just ... unreachable at the moment . ned : nor is he checking his texts or e - mails or voicemails . tracy : and your point ? ! ned : there 's another possibility . ned : perhaps luke has more important things on his mind than his own daughter 's safety . kiki : all right . let 's go find you a replacement dessert . michael : profiteroles ? petit fours ? kiki : mmm . how 'bout pudding from the cafeteria ? michael : ohh . kiki : [ laughs ] michael : [ sighs ] no mocha mousse , alice is asleep , and now instant pudding . i guess today is not my lucky day . julian : if you deliver this recording , he might -- might -- let you off the hook for not killing michael . ava : i ca n't get my hands on it . sonny 's copy is too well protected , and i 'll never get close to carly 's . julian : i thought you had an in . what about franco ? ava : i 've been working on him for weeks , but i have n't gotten anywhere . as long as he believes that carly is committed to him and not sniffing around sonny , he will not lift a finger to help me . lucy : what kind of monster shoots his own accomplice ? ! carly : does anna have someone at the e.r . waiting for scribner to wake up ? franco : well , go ahead , dad . answer them . scott : look , i told you what i know . when i have another update , i 'll keep you posted . excuse me . lucy : hey . oh , wait just a minute . speaking of updates , what about the decision about you and me and bobbie ? scott : lucy , we ca n't do this now . lucy : no , we ca n't . it 's not the time or the place . i know that . scott : then why are you following me ? lucy : because i want to put you on notice . you are on the clock , bub . you had better make that decision really soon , or you might end up losing both of us . franco : hey , i just want to thank you for what you just did , okay ? carly may not get a chance to talk to you , but i know she appreciates it , too . scott : huh ? franco : oh . you really do have your hands full , do n't you ? lucy coe , bobbie spencer , lucy coe , bobbie spencer . scott : yes , i know . it 's a tough choice . franco : it -- it is . if i were you , i would -- scott : you 're not me . if you were ? franco : well , if i were you , i definitely would n't want lucy to find out about that nightcap you had with bobbie the other night . scott : nightcap ? what nightcap ? carly : you need to make some phone calls and move this along . olivia : he already did . sonny 's the one that turned dante on to coleman . carly : they still have n't found maxie and lulu . sonny : dante knows i 'm here if he needs me , carly . carly : so , why are you gon na stand around and wait for him to ask for your help ? sonny : we just have to trust dante right now . he 's a good detective . he knows what he 's doing . he 's not gon na let anything stop him from bringing lulu home . nathan : there 's got to be something here . he had to have had his hands full with two hostages . dante : yeah , lulu and maxie are pretty resourceful women , especially when they 're backed in to a corner . nathan : exactly . so , while he had his attention on one of them , the other one could have left something for us to find -- a clue or something -- or made it impossible for him to remember everything and he leaves the clue himself . dante : how do you mean ? nathan : have you ever actually tried to think coherently while maxie riffs about some topic or another ? i mean , like , one second , you 're trying to find the key to your handcuffs , and then she goes on about some crime she may or may not have witnessed , and before you know it , you 've completely forgot what you were doing . dante : well , that might have worked for you . i do n't think we can say the same thing for dunkleman . nathan : but that 's the thing , though . up until now , levi 's been manipulating maxie , which gives maxie the advantage . dante : now ? nathan : because he thinks he knows her , but he 's underestimating her . he has no idea how smart she is , how resourceful . dante : yeah . you know , i think he thought lulu was gon na be a pretty easy hostage , too , and he was wrong about that . nathan : exactly . see ? so , he 's got two uncooperative hostages . he 's got no time . he 's bound to have made a mistake . dante : well , i think i just found it . nathan : what is it ? dante : take a look . [ next_on ] sam : ( to patrick ) i think things just got interesting . dante : ( to nathan ) we got ta get in touch with frisco jones . mac : ( to anna and felicia ) i have a theory on what happened to maxie and lulu . nina : ( to silas ) i want a baby desperately . carly : ( to sonny ) i do n't want to give franco something to be suspicious about . franco : ( to scott ) i have a sinking feeling that the story might not be true .
at gh , carly had a flashback to the night she spent with sonny . she asked franco on a date to make up for not telling him she and sonny had sex . franco felt he was the one who should make amends , but he agreed to the date . at the floating rib , tracy walked in . she had harsh words for ned and olivia , until ned told her that lulu was kidnapped . franco and carly walked in and overheard ned and tracy . julian went to sonny 's office and suggested that they call a truce to keep their families safe . sonny refused because he did n't approve of julian 's business tactics and because he was confident the jeromes would n't last long . julian told sonny he tried to warn him , and he left . olivia touched base with sonny about lulu 's plight . they decided to go to the police station for answers . lucy went to the pcpd to get an update on the search for maxie and lulu . she ran into scott . they talked about their daughter , serena , then lucy asked if he 'd chosen between her or bobbie . she was dismayed when scott admitted he had n't made a decision yet . anna called scott and updated him on how the search was going . carly and franco arrived at the pcpd . scott told them that scribner had been shot and might die , which would make it harder to find maxie and lulu . olivia and sonny showed up a short time later . franco chatted with scott , in private , about scott 's love triangle . franco mentioned scott and bobbie 's recent nightcap . scott asked `` what nightcap ? `` carly asked sonny to use his resources to try and find lulu , but he thought it was best to stand back and let dante take the lead . ned urged tracy to reach out to luke . she did , but luke did n't answer her calls and texts , prompting ned to question luke 's level of concern for his daughter 's safety .
ric : madam mayor , if you 're happy , i 'm happy . we have three very dangerous criminals in custody , all with very strong cases against them . oh , well , thank you . no , i - i -- with all due respect , i think scott baldwin just was n't up to the challenges of this office . yes . absolutely . lunch soon . okay . madeline : what the hell is my daughter doing in your jail ? ! [ scene_break ] officer : courtesy of the gentleman across the way . franco : just because i 'm charged with murder does n't mean i ca n't send a beautiful woman a drink . [ scene_break ] dante : what 's up ? nathan : thanks , man . dante : oh , hey , man , after the night i 'm sure you 've had , it 's the least i could do . nathan : how do you handle it ? dante : what 's that ? arresting my family ? sadly , that 's just something i 've gotten used to . nathan : it was hard enough arresting my mother , but nina ? you know , i - i keep going over the files and doing legwork and thinking there 's got to be another explanation for this . dante : yeah , but that -- that right there -- that tells quite the story . nathan : see , but i 'm not convinced , okay , that nina 's guilty . especially if you take into account who took this picture . [ scene_break ] ava : damn it , julian , where are you ? i need you to come through for me . i need you to get me the hell out of here . [ scene_break ] julian : hi . alexis : hey . julian : i missed you last night . alexis : yeah . yeah , well , i missed you , too . i had a great movie night with molly last night . julian : oh , that 's great . alexis : yeah , and then i woke up to this . it 's really clear to me why scott baldwin hauled denise into court yesterday . [ scene_break ] morgan : you just look -- you look so much like ava . ava : you 're all i want . you ... you got my heart in your hands . [ breathing heavily ] [ morgan breaks a glass against the wall ] kiki : morgan ! what the hell are you doing ? [ scene_break ] ava : guard , i need to make a phone call . officer : you rang ? ava : i have been here all night . may i please ... use ... the damn phone ? ! officer : not now . you got a visitor . [ scene_break ] ric : madeline , we had one common goal -- get nina out of the way . mission accomplished . madeline : well , it 's one thing to send her off to a cushy mental institution where -- where they have taco night and arts and crafts , but that sticky , malodorous jail is another story altogether . ric : okay , i know this was n't the outcome that we planned . madeline : [ scoffs ] far from it . ric : but what do you expect me to do ? ava jerome decided to play show and tell with a picture of nina kneeling over clay 's bloody corpse with the murder weapon in her hand . [ scene_break ] nathan : look , the last person i 'm gon na defend is ava jerome , okay ? dante : she , uh , killed my cousin , and , god willing , she will actually go down for it this time . but i stopped by the lab on the way in . nathan : and ? dante : they ran that picture through every test possible . that is the real deal . nathan : look , i know it looks bad , all right ? but nina swears that she found clay with the knife in his back . she shows up , she pulls the knife out , panics . you know , she thought she was helping him . dante : okay , so nina 's innocent , yeah ? what does that leave ? franco ? we caught him trying to get rid of the evidence . you have money on him ? [ scene_break ] franco : so , what 's a nice girl like you doing in a place like this ? nina : oh , you know -- being framed for murder . franco : really ? nina : mm - hmm . franco : yeah , me , too . nina : get out . franco : oh , wish i could . nina : with all that charm and sense of humor . franco : um ... here 's to you . and to you believing in me when i tell you that i -- i had nothing to do with my father screwing things up in court yesterday . nina : oh , he 's just doing his job . franco : no -- no tie for him at christmas . nina : um , to you . to the man who believed in me , that i did n't kill silas . franco : how about this -- to you and me . nina : us . franco : to us believing in one another and being charged with murder . [ scene_break ] kiki : you threw a glass ? is avery here ? morgan : no , my mom took her to the park . kiki : thank god . what 's going on with you ? morgan : what do you think 's going on with me ? kiki , your mother is what 's going on with me . ava lied to me . kiki : she lied to you , she lied to everybody to save her ass . morgan : does that not piss you off ? kiki : yeah , i hate that she lied , but i know how my mom thinks , okay ? she was protecting me . morgan : protecting . ava was protecting ava -- that 's it . kiki : oh , come on . that 's not true . honestly , morgan , what else could she have done ? morgan : what do you mean ? she could have brought us in on it . kiki : no , she did n't want to make us have to lie to everyone else . morgan : okay , you are giving her way too much credit , kiki . kiki : okay , fine . she 's a horrible , selfish person . even so , she had to come back in disguise in order to be near me and avery . morgan : in disguise ? ! what is that ? ! what -- what do you mean , `` in disguise ? ! `` are you hearing yourself ? kiki : she did it for me and for our little sister ! she was -- she was avoiding prison , but she did not mean to hurt anyone . morgan : she did . she did hurt someone ! she hurt someone more than anybody else , and she knew she was doing it ! [ scene_break ] alexis : well , we got to give sonny credit . he knew that denise was ava . the rest of us idiots believed the dna tests . although i have to hand it to her , really . you know , how did she pull this off ? she got it all in there . julian : yeah , she certainly did . alexis : i always knew your sister was a liar , but she has surpassed herself . julian : you know , she risked everything to come back here for her kids . alexis : yeah . she is a paragon of maternal devotion . she manipulated everyone . she was living in this house and no one knew she was really ava . julian : actually , i did . [ scene_break ] sonny : oh , will you look at this . as the great yogi berra said , `` it 's déjà vu all over again . `` not long ago , i came here to see denise , and i accused her of being you . you gave me that song and dance with the phony hair and the tattoo and the accent and yammering about ... not being ava . i knew better . ava : you did . congratulations . sonny : and i also knew that eventually , it would all backfire on you . guess what ? payday 's here . ava : what are you gon na do , sonny ? you gon na blow me away in my cell ? sonny : i 'm not gon na do anything . i 'm not gon na have to do anything . there 's not gon na be escape . you 're gon na go down for connie 's murder . and today of all days . ava : what is that supposed to mean ? sonny : you got something wrong with your memory ? you do n't remember dates ? you gunned down connie ... ... exactly two years ago today . [ scene_break ] nathan : so , nina says that franco arrived after she removed the knife . dante : he could 've killed clay before she got there . he takes off to get some supplies , maybe cover his tracks , and then he comes back and finds nina . nathan : i do n't think so , though . i was at shadybrook earlier this morning getting nina 's stuff . while i was there , i talked to a couple of the patients , and one of them swears that he saw and heard franco tell nina that silas kidnapped avery . dante : how 'd she take the news ? nathan : according to him , she ran off . dante : presumably to go and confront silas . nathan : right , right , so franco tries to follow , but he gets stalled by another one of the patients . now , there 's no way that franco makes it to silas ' apartment and kills him before nina walks in . dante : okay , well , then , that -- that does n't look good for nina , either . nathan : i know that , but nina swears that she did n't do it , and i believe her . dante : look , man , the only way we 're gon na exonerate your sister , then , is if we find out who really killed silas . [ scene_break ] kiki : why are you so angry about my mom ? you do n't still have feelings for her , do you ? morgan : you gon na ask me that right now ? really ? kiki : yes , because honestly , it 's the only explanation that i can come up with for this reaction of yours . and as far as i know , you and my mom ended things long before -- morgan : we were -- we ended it . they were done . they were completely done , kiki , all right ? kiki : okay . great . then why are you taking this so personally ? how did my mom hurt you more than anyone else ? [ scene_break ] sonny : two years ago today , i walked into connie 's office , found her shot , bleeding . i tried to save her , and i asked her who did it . she could only manage two initials in her blood . ava : and you thought `` a `` and `` j `` meant aj quartermaine . connie might as well have signed that poor sap 's death warrant . [ scene_break ] alexis : you knew denise was ava ? julian : yes , but i -- alexis : so you knowingly harbored a fugitive all these months ? julian : no . i just found out yesterday . alexis : yesterday ? julian : ava told me right before the process server showed up and dragged her off to court , so ... alexis : okay , so you only lied to me for 24 hours . that 's progress . julian : can we please not fight about this ? alexis : [ chuckling ] i 'm not fighting . i 'm perfectly calm ... considering you 've just disclosed yet another unpleasant truth . speaking of which ... she was incognito all this time and getting away with it . why all of a sudden would she reveal herself to you ? ava : i need a criminal element to break into his office and steal that recording for me . alexis : why would she tell you who she was ? i mean , what 's in it for ava ? [ scene_break ] sonny : do n't put aj 's death on connie . you took his gun , and you shot her . and you framed that bastard any way you could . ava : maybe so , but it was you , sonny ... you killed him . sonny : hey , aj is on me , just like connie 's on you . but she was defenseless . you murdered an innocent woman who was finally healing of an illness . for what ? so she would n't tell me that derek wells was julian jerome ? who cares ? at least you 're consistent . ava : what does that mean ? sonny : you killed kiki 's father the same way . i mean , you know , for the same reason you got rid of connie . ava : no , that 's wrong . sonny : clay knew that this denise woman ... was ava , and you had to silence him ! ava : i did n't kill silas . it was nina . nina knifed him . [ scene_break ] nina : you know i love you beyond all reason . franco : well , reason 's overrated . nina : [ chuckles ] shut up . i 'm making a point . franco : sorry . nina : um , even though we love each other , you should have never confessed to killing silas . franco : well , i had to . i did n't have a choice . they were gon na lock you up . nina : hello ? franco : right . uh , it might have backfired . nina : listen -- it 's a problem because with all the evidence that they have against me -- franco : by `` they , `` you mean your so - called husband . nina : well , he 's not my so - called husband . he 's still my husband . talk about a plan that backfired . franco : no , actually , that one worked pretty well . i was pretty jealous . nina : yeah , you were . [ chuckles ] it was awesome . franco : yeah . um , but here we are -- together at last . nina : yeah . at last . franco : except ric 's gon na charge us both with murder , and he and madeline are gon na steal all your money . [ scene_break ] madeline : all right , that picture makes nina look guilty . ric : yeah , a little . madeline : but franco confessed in court . he actually said , `` i killed silas clay . `` does n't the confession of a serial killer trump a picture ... ric : of an ex - wife with a history of mental illness standing over the body with a knife ? madeline : all right , all i 'm saying is that franco belongs in jail , not nina . ric : which is where he is . listen -- you got to understand , madeline , ava jerome just did us a huge favor with that picture , okay ? she gave me the ability to be able to kill two birds of a feather with one stone . [ scene_break ] dante : ava took that picture of nina , so clearly she was at the crime scene . the question is was she there before nina got there or after ? nathan : well , she says after , but ... dante : clay knew that denise really was ava , so maybe -- maybe she thought he was gon na expose her . nathan : well , ava definitely stood the most to gain by his death , but other than this picture , we do n't have anything to link her to the murder . dante : [ sighs ] her fingerprints would be on that knife , but , uh , thanks to franco , those are gone . nathan : yeah . i - i got to keep going over this stuff . there has to be something that i missed . dante : right . well , let 's get to work . [ scene_break ] nina : that reminds me -- i have good news . franco : house fell on your mother ? nina : no . franco : somebody threw water on her , and she melted ? nina : [ chuckling ] no . stop saying things that are better than my news . [ chuckling ] franco : okay . sorry . nina : `` j `` agrees with you that my mother and ric are just after my money . franco : really ? good - looking and smart . nina : um , he came to shadybrook after my mom left and wanted me to sign over control of all my finances to her and ric . franco : shameless . nina : right . franco : you did n't sign anything , did you ? nina : of course not . i 'm wiser -- a lot wiser . i feel better now . i - i feel like all , you know , the -- the gauze and -- and , like , craziness has left my head . franco : well , you look great . nina : thank you . ever since i checked myself into shadybrook , all my episodes went away . franco : is that right ? nina : yeah . i mean , no more , uh , imaginary babies crying . no more cribs appearing out of nowhere . no more [ chuckles ] dolls with `` x 'd `` out eyes . and i -- i have a theory that it 's because of you . franco : me ? yeah . what did i do ? ava : you told me i did n't kidnap avery . and , um , you came to shadybrook when i checked in , and you gave me the news , and then since then , all the craziness stopped . franco : i do n't think that that 's ... when the craziness stopped , nina . nina : well , if it was you , or it was n't shadybrook , then what was it ? franco : well , i - i think when you checked out of that hotel room , that 's when the hallucinations stopped . [ scene_break ] ric : madeline , i 'm sorry it came down to this , but , you know , who knew that nina was gon na kill her ex - husband , okay ? just sit down . do n't you see ? do n't you see that the scales of justice have tipped in our favor ? i can easily prove that nina and franco conspired together to kill silas . they go down for it , and we take off with the money . madeline : what you do n't seem to understand is ... it was never our plan to send nina to jail . ric : well , plans have changed , madeline , okay ? they 're both suspects in a murder case , okay ? they 're gon na be too busy running around trying to prove themselves , and meanwhile , you and i get to take off , sail off into the sunset on a boat bought with nina 's millions . madeline : oh , that 's a lovely image . just one little problem . ric : oh , and what might that be ? madeline : there will be no boat because there will be no millions . ric : yes , there will be . madeline : no , there wo n't be . you , independent thinker that you are , managed to have nina arrested before i got her to sign the papers . we have no way to access her money . [ scene_break ] ava : i did not kill silas , and i 'm not going to prison for it . sonny : there 's -- you know , there 's something you fail to understand , ava . i do n't care if you bumped off silas or not . all i care about is you pay for connie 's death . and now , since my brother 's acting da , i 'm sure he 's gon na do everything he can to make sure that it goes off without a hitch . ava : i have no doubt . sonny : and the beautiful part is that i still have my daughter , who 's gon na be free of you . ava : she 's my daughter , too . sonny : you 're an incubator , okay ? that 's it . nothing more . ava : i will not let you take her away from me . sonny : i already have , ava . she 's not gon na know you . i do n't want her to know anything about you . ava : she will know me ! i 'm her mother . i need her , and s - she needs me . sonny : actually , she does n't . not anymore . 'cause she has a woman who -- who -- you know , she lights up with joy every time she walks into the room . ava : carly . sonny : well , actually , she calls her `` mama . `` uh , and , uh , we 're getting married a week from today . we 're gon na make it official . carly 's gon na be avery 's mother . ava : she wo n't . carly will never be her mother -- never . sonny : what goes around , comes around ! carly took ... your daughter ... the same way you tried to take our son . [ scene_break ] morgan : you think i was talking about me ? kiki : yeah . you mean you were n't ? morgan : no , kiki , i was n't , okay ? i 'm sorry . what i was talking about was what ava did to your dad . that 's what i was talking about . kiki : morgan , you were there . you were in the courtroom , and you saw the picture that was on her phone . morgan : exa -- kiki : nina killed my father . morgan : exactly . and who took that picture ? ava . that means she was there . ava had the most motive , okay ? and ava -- i 'm sorry , kiki -- she killed your dad to keep him from ratting her out . kiki : no , she did not . she went into the apartment and she saw nina crouching over his body with the knife in her hands . morgan : and did what ? and took a photo of it ? kiki : yes . morgan : come on . you know ava . she 's capable of this . she killed connie . kiki : my mom swore to me that she did n't do this . morgan : and after everything she 's done , all the lies , you 're gon na believe what she says ? kiki : [ sighs ] yes . because she 's my mother , okay ? and that picture is n't lying . it explains what franco 's been doing this whole time . he 's been drawing the blame away from nina so that she does n't get arrested . morgan : you want to believe your mom , that 's fine . i understand that . i 'm not gon na believe a word that comes out of that woman 's mouth . not after all she 's done to deceive us . [ scene_break ] julian : i 'd walked in on an argument between ava and obrecht , of all people . alexis : dr. obrecht was here ? julian : yes , and they tried to cover it up with some lie about obrecht trying to convince denise to go down to the courthouse to support nina and franco . [ sighs ] i do n't know . so when obrecht left , i cornered ava . she admitted to everything . alexis : okay , well , i guess that makes sense . julian : well , i 'm glad you think so . alexis : what i do n't get is that ava made a full disclosure to you , but when i was here yesterday , it was after she had already been taken to court , so why did n't you tell me she was ava ? [ flashback ] ava : if you help me , i can resume my life as ava jerome . i can be with my daughters and stand by your side we can rule the port charles together . and this time , we 'll make sure that sonny corinthos is out of the way for good . julian : look , i just found out that my sister was still alive seconds before she was dragged off to the courthouse , so i apologize , but , uh , you know , my head was spinning . alexis : i 'm sure . julian : [ sighs ] and not only that , i was harboring a fugitive -- unknowingly . so i did n't want to implicate you . alexis : you do realize that i would n't have been implicated if you had gone to the police and told them about ava like a good citizen . julian : yeah , i know , i know , but despite our differences , she still is my sister . i mean , she 's trying to conceal her identity in the first place , because she 's still wanted for murdering connie . alexis : i would argue that ava should be behind bars for gunning down an innocent woman in cold blood . julian : right , well , she was trying to , you know , protect my interests at the time . alexis : so it 's okay if she murders on your behalf ? julian : however wrong she was , ava 's been very loyal to me , so my instinct is to be loyal to her . and do n't even pretend that you do n't understand , not with your family . look , i 'm ... i 'm sorry . will you please accept my apology ? [ scene_break ] franco : who was with you when you heard the baby crying ? nina : ric . franco : well , there you go . nina : it was n't just ric . my mother came by . um , she could n't hear the baby crying , either . franco : your mother , who was trying to get you to sign over all of your money to her . she did n't hear it either ? nina : yeah , i mean , that -- that time that i saw the crib and , um , saw that doll , i - i ran out of the room to get myself together , and then when i came back , everything was gone and ric said that -- that he did n't see anything . franco : well , ric must have set it up and then somehow rigged it so that it would freak you out . nina : okay , but -- but ... the crying -- i mean , where did that come from if i did n't imagine it ? franco : nina , think about it . it was ric . he was trying to drive you over the edge . [ scene_break ] madeline : the papers arrived by messenger while you were off playing da . i took them right up to nina at shadybrook . ric : clearly that went well . madeline : well , she was hesitant . she wanted to look them over . i was forced to leave without the papers and without her signature . ric : you were trying to make an end run around me , were n't you ? madeline : no . ric : no ? madeline : i was just trying to do what was expedient at the time while you were off abusing your power as acting district attorney . ric : uh - huh . all right , since nina 's in lockup , where are the documents now ? madeline : [ sighs ] i ran to shadybrook this morning to try and retrieve them . i had to tell the administration i was there to collect nina 's things . ric : it 's not entirely untrue . madeline : but , unfortunately , my son beat me to it . i had to hide and watch him take out a box filled with everything nina . i assume he has the papers now . ric : well , so ? you 're his mother , sort of . why do n't you just go ask him for it . madeline : he does n't want anything to do with me . i ca n't get the papers from him . but you can . [ scene_break ] nathan : the only thing that we have on ava is that she was at the scene of the crime long enough to take a picture of nina . dante : let 's retrace her steps that day . in court , baldwin showed ava a copy of her building 's guest ledger . clay signed in , presumably to see ava . she claims she was n't there . nathan : all right , so clay signs in at 3 : 00 p.m . dante : what the ... ? nathan : what ? dante : well , clay was n't the only visitor that denise demuccio had that day . someone signed in about an hour before . they must have been there around the same time . nathan : well , who was it ? dante : my brother morgan . [ scene_break ] kiki : i know this is hard for you . it 's hard for me , too . [ chuckles lightly ] i thought my mom was dead . and then the moment that i find out she 's still alive is the same moment that i discover she 's going back to prison . i ca n't bear to lose her again . and i do n't want avery to lose her , either . morgan : i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry , okay ? i 've been making this all about myself when you 've had it much worse . you 're the one that 's been getting pushed and pulled everywhere . kiki : my mom swore to me last night that she 'd make this up to me . but ... i ca n't even imagine how . morgan : well , you know what ? maybe ava ca n't make this right , but i can . [ scene_break ] ava : i did n't have to seduce morgan . he was always coming around , finding excuses to see me . sonny : [ sighs ] you took advantage of my son . you baited him , and you bedded him like he was a mark in a con game . ava : no . i care very much about morgan . sonny : yeah ? well , he do n't care about you anymore , so does n't matter , does it ? ava : you know , you were there , sonny , when we were together . when we were making love . i mean , sure , morgan thought i was denise . but he confided in me how much he missed ava , how much he loved me when i was alive . so , you see , it really does n't matter that i killed your precious connie or that you and i had a quickie in the crypt . morgan will always want me . morgan will always love me . sonny : what about kiki ? how much is she gon na love you ... when she finds out what you did ? [ scene_break ] morgan : i 'm gon na help put this whole mess behind us . kiki : how ? morgan : i 'll tell you how -- by -- by focusing on what 's good and what 's right and what 's real -- each other . i mean , we can make a life for ourselves , kiki . we can -- we can find a new place to live together . we can start new memories there , like , forget all the bad ones . i c -- i can make you happy . i know i can do that . kiki : morgan , i love what you 're doing , but i do n't -- morgan : listen , listen , listen -- i - i - i know with what all that 's happened , like , we have n't had a lot of time to spend together , but we can rise above that . we can make a new start , okay ? i know we can -- we can move on into the future . this is our chance . we move on to a future where it 's just me and you , nobody else . nobody else interfering . come on . i can do that for you . i know i can do that . come here . [ scene_break ] madeline : you are the da . you have the authority to ... retrieve that document . and then you can convince nina to sign it . ric : oh , all on my lonesome , huh ? madeline : yeah . s - she does n't seem to trust me anymore . ric : oh , gee , i wonder why , given your remarkable maternal instincts . madeline : oh , come on . be nice . we 're both on the same team here . we both want the money . ric : oh , i have n't forgotten that . madeline : well , as her husband and the da , you have the leverage . you can offer to ... go easy on her . you can sweet - talk her . ric : oh , you think that 'll work , huh ? madeline : you managed to charm her into marrying you , did n't you ? mm - hmm . ric : all right , fine . i 'll do it . [ scene_break ] nina : ric , that evil , diabolical `` husband `` of mine . oh , my god . he just pretended like he did n't hear anything . just standing there and pretending the whole time , while i 'm unraveling , i 'm -- i 'm losing my mind , and he 's just standing there probably laughing at me . franco : yeah , if we were n't locked up for murder , we could totally go kill him . nina : he wanted to take me out . that 's what he wanted to do . he wanted to take me out , just like my mother . both of them . oh , my god . you know the worst incident was when i -- when i came to him , and i asked him for a divorce , because i wanted to be with you and the crying went on and on and on . i completely lost it . franco : sorry i was n't there for you . nina : well , you know what ? you 're here now . and you know what ? [ chuckles ] i 'm not crazy . i 'm not crazy , i did n't kidnap the baby , i 'm not hearing things , and i did n't kill silas . franco : i did n't kill silas , either . nina : that 's right . franco : that 's right . nina : i have n't been this happy in months . franco : [ laughing ] i have n't been this happy in months , either . wow . check us out -- one murder charge away from having it all . nina : oh , we 're gon na have it all , franco . franco : really ? nina : yeah . franco : how ? nina : my brother . he 's gon na come through . he 's gon na expose the real killer . [ scene_break ] nathan : so , your brother was at the jerome place the day of the murder ? dante : yeah , looks that way . nathan : you think he was there to see julian ? they used to work together . dante : no , he 's been done with that for a long time . nathan : well , then , what about kiki ? they sign in together ? dante : she was gone . she went to the hamptons by the time he went to the penthouse . nathan : so morgan was there by himself . why ? dante : you can say it . we 're probably both thinking it . nathan : you , uh , think he was seeing denise behind kiki 's back ? dante : possibly . or he knew ... nathan : denise was actually ava . dante : [ sighs ] i do n't know . i do n't know . with morgan , i just -- i just do n't know . nathan : you mind if i take a closer look at this ? dante : yeah . have at it . what ? what ? you got something ? nathan : maybe . maybe . i 'm not sure yet .

[ scene_break ] ava : you bastard ! are you threatening to tell kiki about morgan and me ? sonny : all i would have to do , ava , is sit her down , have a heart - to - heart , and boom ! ava : you would lose the only daughter you have left . you would do that ? you would hurt her like that ? sonny : well , you were n't -- you were n't worried about her pain when you were sleeping with her boyfriend . but see , i - i put my children first , so i do n't want to -- i do n't want to do that to morgan . i do n't want to break them up . so you still have kiki on your side . ava : okay . so , what , am i supposed to thank you for not using my child as a weapon against me ? sonny : it 's not like you can have a meaningful relationship in here -- with kiki or anyone else . except maybe a cellmate . that would be interesting . there 's no way out for you this time . ava : that 's what you think , sonny . [ scene_break ] julian : i know it 's not fair . after everything you 've done for me , all i seem to do is test your faith . alexis : mm . well , as you pointed out , being a cassadine , i 'm uniquely qualified to sympathize with the vagaries of homicidal relatives . that being said , i can not represent ava because it is a conflict of interest . thank god . i 'm representing nina clay , and both of them are suspects in silas ' murder . julian : yeah , you know i would never ask you to do that . alexis : never ? julian : never . alexis : good , because i have to be at nina 's arraignment . all right . julian : hey , so , we , uh ... we good ? we 're good . mm . alexis : your sister , on the other hand -- not so good . i do n't know if she 's going to be accused of silas ' murder , but she 's sure gon na be doing some hard time for what she did to connie . julian : [ sighs ] [ flashback ] ava : the case against me hinges on that damn recording that aj . quartermaine made the night he died . julian : where you so unwisely admitted to killing connie . ava : the only copy of that recording is in the da 's office . without it , any accusations against me are simply hearsay . [ scene_break ] dante : come on , man . do n't keep me in suspense . you find something to crack the case or what ? nathan : yeah , i think i did . [ scene_break ] franco : i think it 's great that you have so much faith in your brother . nina : yeah . i mean , you do , too , right ? franco : well , i 'm not sure he 's the guy to untangle this mess . nina : oh , no , he 's totally gon na do it . officer : ms. lansing , your lawyer 's upstairs . it 's time for your arraignment . if you two lovebirds can stand being apart . nina : we ca n't . i wish i could stay . franco : yeah , me , too . i love you . nina : i love you , too . thanks for the drink . officer : let 's go . franco : anytime . nina . you have to plead not guilty , right ? [ scene_break ] ava : you do n't know how my trial will go . and you of all people know how the guiltiest can walk . sonny : the cops have the recording of you admitting that you killed connie , ava . you 're going down . how many times do i got to tell you ? ava : hey , we 'll see . sonny : you 're going down ! yeah , well , you know , no matter how this plays out , you can kiss your life and everyone in it goodbye -- especially avery . she 's not gon na have a memory of you . not one . ava : come on , julian . oh , please , come through for me . [ door shuts ] [ scene_break ] madeline : good news ? franco hung himself in his cell ? ric : no , unfortunately . that was about nina 's arraignment . madeline : when does that circus take place ? ric : in the next five minutes . and since i 'm her husband , i have to go recuse myself . madeline : of course . the impression of propriety . ric : yes , exactly . and speaking of impressions , it might be a good idea for you to show up in support of your daughter in court . you know , impersonate a good mother . i know that might not be too hard for you . madeline : do n't worry . i 'll be very convincing . and while i 'm in the court doing that show , i want you to find james , get the document , and have nina sign it the minute she 's finished with her arraignment . ric : all right . i 'm on it . madeline : okay . ric : oh . [ scene_break ] morgan : i 'm gon na help put this whole mess behind us ... by focusing on what 's good and what 's right and what 's real -- each other . i mean , we can make a life for ourselves , kiki . we can -- we can find a new place to live together . we can start new memories there , like , forget all the bad ones . [ door opens ] ava : do i have another visitor ? officer : yep . ava : is it my -- my brother , do you know ? did he bring my lawyer ? officer : nope . [ scene_break ] dante : you gon na let your partner in on the big discovery ? it 's not morgan , is it ? nathan : no , no , no . it 's not your brother . dante : good . well , then , what is it ? nathan : i think i know who killed silas clay . [ next_on ] maxie : what is it that you want ? dillon : i want you . nathan : i think we found the killer . kiki ( to franco ) : how did you look me in the eye for so long knowing that my mom was still alive ? julian ( to ric ) : you 're doing sonny 's dirty work . morgan ( to ava ) : why did n't you trust me , ava ? carly ( to sonny ) : what if ava gets her claws into him and , this time , she does n't let go ?
many people are running a race with time in order to accomplish certain things , uncover crucial information and unravel unsolved mysteries before it 's too late . ric is confident that he and madeline will be able to successfully take nina 's money and get what they want when nina is in jail . yet madeline informs him , for the first time that she did not get her daughter to sign the papers before nina went to jail and the legal document are now in nathan 's possession . she urges ric to use his power as da to access the document although he has yet to accomplish that . sonny is confident that ava is going down for murder , out of his and everyone else 's lives and will never get to see baby avery again . she realizes , however , that wo n't happen if someone can destroy her taped confession that she killed connie , from the da 's office . julian wants to find a way to do that for her but has not yet succeeded .
alexis : i really do n't want to talk about this . sonny : that 's my daughter you 're grabbing in the picture , splashed all over the media . so you 're damn well gon na tell me what happened right now , alexis . alexis : you do n't get to order me around . i 'm not your lackey , and i 'm not scared of you . sonny : okay , when julian is free of all charges , and he gets to just walk up to your door -- you scared , yet ? 'cause that 's exactly what 's gon na happen if you do n't get your act together ! [ scene_break ] julian : it 's good to see you , ava . ava : i wish i could say the same of you . clearly this cell does not agree with you . julian : well , might as well make the adjustment , right ? since i 'm probably going to be spending the rest of my life in one just like it . ava : since when ? julian : since i 've accepted my fate . i 'm going to prison . [ scene_break ] naomi : look at us . [ chuckles ] this is kind of fun , right ? hayden : yeah , except the metro court is a little on the pricey side . why do n't we go down to the promenade ? we could split a sandwich and watch the boats coming into the harbor or something . naomi : no . you order anything you like . i 've developed a system . hayden : a system ? naomi : i , uh -- i put the meal on a credit card . the next day , i call the company and tell them i lost the darn thing . a new card is in my hand in a few days and the charges disappear . hayden : well , you can only get away with that one so many times . naomi : true , but as you well know , a girl 's got to do what a girl 's got to do , huh ? besides , it 's not a problem a couple of diamonds would n't solve , right ? so , my darling , have you made your decision ? are you coming home to the city with me , or are you going to settle down here in this nest of vipers ? [ scene_break ] elizabeth : you just ca n't help yourself , can you ? always living on the edge . franco : me ? nah . i 'm just taking a little stroll . franco : demon monica . demonica . do n't worry , i have a pass from the chief . elizabeth : you do ? franco : i do . elizabeth : really ? franco : really . yeah . i 'm here for a follow up meeting to discuss my reinstatement , and i brought you a little something . brain food , 'cause i know you 've had a lot on your mind lately . elizabeth : thank you . yes , you 're right about that . i was up all night thinking about hayden and those diamonds . franco : aww , i was kind of sort of hoping you were up all night wondering about our date . [ scene_break ] [ cell phone ringing ] laura : no regrets . how can you even ask that ? following clues for the dead woman . you are writing about me . when were you gon na tell me about this ? i mean , i know we made a joke of it when were on the island , but i did n't think that you would ever actually do that . kevin : ca n't we talk about this ? laura : no . bye , kevin . [ cell phone beeps ] [ doorbell rings ] [ birds chirping ] laura : i do n't believe it . robert : laura , laura , it 's been too long , my dear . you could invite me in .

[ scene_break ] paul : i 'm on the clock here , tracy . tracy : you agreed to make time for your son . paul : well , it appears that dillon does n't want to make time for me . he 's ten minutes late . tracy : oh , the horror ! paul : tracy , i 'm in the middle of a very high - profile case right now . convicting julian jerome is my highest priority . dillon : would n't want to get in the way . in fact , why do n't we reschedule this little family get together for a more convenient time . like , say , maybe , never . [ scene_break ] sonny : you do n't have the luxury of falling apart , alexis . julian 's trial 's in a couple days , and you have to be ready , no matter what 's going on in your personal life . alexis : okay , i get it . sonny : okay . alexis : but you are completely overreacting to some ridiculous , absurd article ! i can assure you that one single instance of unfounded , poorly sourced , yellow journalism is not going to scuttle the case against -- sonny : we 're not talking about a source ! we 're talking about a scandal ! you grabbed kristina 's arm -- that could poison the jury pool . baldwin calls you in , says you 're unstable , then what ? alexis : who -- who are you talking to ? i 've been questioning witnesses for years ! i know how to be a witness . i do n't need any coaching from you , of all people . sonny : why , because , uh , you do n't think julian 's case is gon na suffer because of you ? all right , forget that . let 's talk about our daughter . she 's hurt . she 's angry . she did n't ask to , you know , be smeared all over the media . what are you gon na do to make it right ? [ scene_break ] laura : i ca n't believe that you 're here . or that you travelled this far just to say hello . robert : well , i 'm on a mission for your ex . i got a call from luke . laura : you heard from him ? when ? robert : about ten hours ago . laura : are you sure that it was him ? robert : oh , yeah . laura : oh good . robert : he 's been out of touch . he would n't go into details , but he mentioned something about a lot of messages he intercepted between you and tracy and lulu about a problem on cassadine island . laura : yeah . lulu came across a skeleton , and it had some things with it that looked like that they might me be luke 's . so , we got a dna test , which came back negative . but still , it 's really nice to get confirmation from you that he 's still alive . robert : well , he apologizes for leaving everybody hanging . laura : [ scoffs ] well , when you hear from him again , please tell him to call our daughter from time to time . she worries . robert : but you do n't ? laura : i -- i worry on her behalf , but i know that he can take care of himself . robert : yeah . laura : but still , it 's awfully nice of you to travel this far out of your way just to deliver that message . robert : there 's more to it . he asked me to send you a warning .

julian is ready to get put away in prison and admits to ava he is accepting his fate although she tells him she wo n't let him give up nor go down without a fight . meanwhile , robert goes to see laura and informs her that luke has sent him to warn her that after valentin cassadine has killed nikolas , spencer may not be safe and so she needs to get him out of the country . she does that without much thought when kevin comes to see her hoping she will `` reconsider `` and want to see him again , after their last time together , yet she tells him she can not promise anything . franco is confident he can get his old job back at the hospital when he goes to talk to kevin who assesses his `` psychological `` status . elizabeth makes it clear to him and to kevin that she and franco have mutual feelings for each other . franco goes to see his mom , heather , in the institution , after finding out she has money , and asks if she might be able to loan him something for his next date with elizabeth . yet heather has just spoken to naomi , hayden 's mom , who owes her money in exchange for heather keeping some very damaging secrets which naomi does not want exposed . naomi does not currently have money although she knows as soon as the diamonds can be located , she will have all she needs . ava goes to see if it 's possible for paul to offer julian some `` incentive `` if he pleads guilty . he tells her that will not happen and further informs her either she testifies against her brother , whether she wants to or not , or else he will turn over her taped confession that she murdered connie falconeri , and have ava put away . ava is obviously very upset and worried until she runs into hayden at the bar . she realizes that elizabeth has possession of the diamonds that could be all the evidence needed for the feds to put hayden away , after elizabeth has told her she intends to do just that and ava warns hayden of that . sonny goes to talk to alexis who assures him she will not back down on her promise to testify against julian . she also indicates to him that julian has made it clear he has a `` delusion `` she 's still in love with him , believes he will get her back and she will not testify against him . hearing that , sonny is very confident and goes to visit julian in his jail cell . he tells him he wants him to plead guilty in order to spare alexis from having to testify against him and all the long drawn out process of the trial that will end up in his getting put away for murder , anyway no matter what he decides . if julian does that , sonny informs him , when he goes to prison ( which is inevitable ) , sonny will `` let him live `` . yet julian firmly tells sonny he refuses to do that . he will fight the charges , get acquitted and alexis will not let sonny hurt him . at that point , everyone is confident that julian is going to be put away for the murder of duke and of carlos , and nobody can save him from that .

[ scene_break ] sonny : what does our wedding have to do with framing carly ? kate : well , jax and i agreed to put on a good face for the magazine , which means jax and carly will be invited to the wedding . sonny : that 's a bad idea . kate : oh , no , i think it 's a great idea . carly is insanely possessive of you . she wo n't be able to stop herself from acting out and jax will finally see the truth about her . sonny : our wedding is not supposed to be about manipulation and games . it 's supposed to be about us . kate : and it will be about us . sonny : it will be , right . kate : it will . i will be a lot happier knowing that my career has no threat , and the truth is , i would like to see carly 's face when we say our vows . sonny : it does n't work for me . i do n't want carly anywhere near the wedding . kate : oh , sonny . sonny : because it 's just going to build -- she 'll find a way to blow everything apart . kate : how could she possibly blow everything apart ? what could she possibly do ?

[ speaking german ] ... is that the patient must have rest . [ cell phone rings ] dr. obrecht : obrecht . i see . thank you . your professional opinion ? luke : ja . that 's what i said . dr. obrecht : and what profession would that be ? luke : sorry ? dr. obrecht : no psychiatrist by the name of von schemerman exists . so who exactly are you , hmm ? anna : it 's okay . i 'm here now , robin . i can take care of you . patrick : i do n't have time for this . jason : patrick , it could be important . patrick : why ? robin and jerry are both dead . jason : jerry shot robin during a hostage crisis -- patrick : are you here to remind me all the bad things that jerry did ? jason : then he injected nikolas with something . what was that ? patrick : a pathogen . jason : right . then he kept nikolas alive in exchange for a new identity , but in the end , you guys came up with a counteragent to save nikolas . patrick : probably pissed him off . now tell me , why the hell are we talking about jerry ? alexis : i remember going to wyndemere . i do n't remember anything after that . i -- i just remember waking up on the couch . sam : after you had been injected with something that nearly killed you . alexis : i made a full recovery . sam : and steve said to rest , and that 's exactly what you 're gon na do . mcbain : you might want to listen to your daughter . she 's stubborn , but she 's pretty smart . sam : who are you calling stubborn ? mcbain : i 'm wrong ? sam : no . so , do you have any leads on who did this to mom and josslyn ? mcbain : i 'm working on something , actually , with ... with jason 's help . jason : you know what happened to alexis and josslyn , right ? patrick : they were injected with something that caused the fever to spike . jason : i think jerry may be connected . mcbain : what ? what are you saying ? what channel ? can you turn the tv on ? what do you mean all the channels ? just turn it on any channel . jerry : you see , alexis davis and my niece suffered quite a scare recently . alexis , i hope you 're watching . i trust you 're feeling much better now . and you , too , my dear josslyn . carly : come here , baby . come on . i am going to put on a fun dvd for you in the bedroom , okay ? we can find something much better in here . jax : jerry , why are n't you the hell where you belong ? jerry : you see , you 'd never know it to look at them , but these two innocent people were mysteriously injected . tracy : he 's still breathing , and alan 's dead . joe jr. : who 's alan ? tracy : my brother . he killed him . jerry : injected two nights ago with a substance that made them extremely ill ... elizabeth : he was behind it ? this is so insane . ewen : certainly is . elizabeth : no , i mean , this is really insane . right before this came on , i was gon na ask you about the jacks family . ewen : why ? jerry : ... so ill it was feared they might not survive . if you 're wondering who orchestrated this brush with death , wonder no more . you 're looking at him right now . you see , i made alexis and josslyn sick . luke : whoever it is that told you that i am not dr . von schemerman is obviously mistaken . it 's because of the spelling of my name . it happens all the time . von schemerman -- v - o - n -- schemerman -- s - c - h - e -- dr. obrecht : we could trust my contact , or we could phone the police . you choose , hmm ? luke : let us need not the authorities to call . that 's not necessary . olivia : then drop the accent and tell me what you 're doing here . anna : i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry . i -- i -- i thought you were my -- my ... you look ... like my daughter from behind . i 'm looking for her . i 'm sorry . have you seen her ? her name 's robin , and i think she 's here somewhere . have you -- can you just ... can you look at her picture ? patrick : jerry jacks was shot and killed over a year ago . how could it have anything to do with alexis and josslyn ? jason : his body was never found . dr. drake , have you seen this ? patrick : what is it ? just look . jerry : i know what you 're thinking . what kind of a heartless monster sticks a needle in his very own niece to make her sick ? terrible . jax : i want to kill him . jerry : before you start throwing stones , or worse , let me state -- i was doing a good deed . carly : you sick son of a bitch . jerry : while i would n't mind seeing you suffer , carly , i 'd never harm my own niece . when you called jax , as i 'm sure you will , to berate him for being related to me , please assure him that josslyn will be perfectly safe during what is about to transpire . more on that later . first , i need to apologize to you , alexis . alexis : you know what you can do with your apology ? sam : do you know this guy ? mcbain : yeah , i know who he is . fbi had a file on him . sam : i 'm not surprised . jerry : alexis , darling , we shared a special bond when you knew me as james brosnan . alexis : yeah , till i found out you were a homicidal maniac . jerry : it was absolutely wonderful to see you the other night , even though i do n't think you recall our encounter . alexis : yeah , why is that , jerry ? jerry : please believe me when i say i regret what you had to go through , but perhaps when you hear why , you 'll be able to forgive me . mcbain : hey , it 's mcbain . jerry jacks has resurfaced . i do n't know . he 's saying he 's in port charles , but all i got is a face on a tv screen . yeah , no , he must have hijacked the local cable system . he 's on every channel . hey , look , run a search on it and get me a location , okay ? patrick : there 's a part of me that 's glad robin 's not here to see this son of a bitch alive . jerry : and the job was too big for me to do alone , so i enlisted some help . while i was busy taking care of alexis , an associate took care of my niece and brought the sleeping angel to wyndemere . jason : that 's it . patrick : what is ? you know who he 's talking about ? jason : it 's dr. keenan . elizabeth : it was jerry jacks who made the calls to you and alexis , pretending to be the security company . ewen : well , unless he had someone else do it for him . elizabeth : but why ? why ? why would he want to inject you ? i mean , he know he has a history with alexis , but i do n't ... ewen , what 's going on ? do you know jerry jacks ? ewen : well , of course i know who he is . elizabeth : that 's not what i meant . ewen : no , what you meant is you think i have something to do with this . jerry : i imagine that no one would argue that alexis and josslyn had a very bad night , but , you see , it was worth it to protect them from what 's to come . rather than hurting my friend or my niece , i was inoculating them for their survival . unfortunately , the rest of you wo n't be so lucky . [ coughing ] anna : i 'm -- i 'm very sorry that i came in here and disturbed you , but i just want you to look at this picture and see -- have you seen this woman here ? have you ? luke : [ normal voice ] slim . anna : it 's not her . she 's not here . luke : i know . i 'm so sorry . anna : then it 's cruel . heather -- she should n't have made that up . luke : i do n't think she did . anna : what do you mean ? luke : dr. obrecht figured out that i 'm not who i said i was , so i had to explain to her why we are actually here . anna : yeah . dr. obrecht : i 'm sorry for your loss . please , let us leave this patient in peace . anna : yes , i 'm so sorry . i 'm so -- luke : anna , we believe that this is the patient that heather saw at ferncliff . anna : she was at ferncliff ? luke : there is quite a resemblance . dr. obrecht : the patient was transferred to our clinic just a few weeks ago . luke : see , i think maybe heather saw her at ferncliff and thought she was robin . anna : no , she knew that it was n't robin , and she just used it against me . [ sniffles ] oh . [ breathes deeply ] there was never any hope , was there ? it was all just ... luke : you had to know for sure . anna : she 's gone , is n't she . robin 's ... she 's really gone . [ crying ] [ static ] anna : [ sighs ] joe jr. : i 'm sorry about your brother . tracy : thank you . joe jr. : can i ask how this , uh , jerry person killed him ? tracy : i - i do n't want to talk about it . joe jr. : why not ? tracy : um , because i 'm not in the habit of crying on the shoulder of strangers . joe jr. : i 'm already a stranger after the morning we 've just had ? you must miss him . tracy : alan ? actually , he was pompous and arrogant , and he worked my very last nerve . yes , i miss him every single day , and i would still have a brother if it were n't for that man ! joe jr. : what happened ? tracy : um , let me see . jerry jacks stormed this hotel and held all of the people in the lobby hostage . joe jr. : including your brother . tracy : including my brother , who had a heart condition , and he could n't take the stress . joe jr. : so he died of a heart attack . tracy : actually , he died because jerry jacks would n't get him treatment . when they finally got him to the hospital , it was too late . my brother died in agony , terrified , and i despise that man for it ! joe jr. : i 'm sorry , tracy . i did n't know . tracy : of course , you did n't . how could you possibly know ? [ static ] olivia : okay , help me out here . you tell me that this was some terrible lsd hallucination and that was not jerry jacks on my tv screen basically just threatening the entire city . steve : i heard it , too . olivia : okay . so he said that he injected alexis and his own niece to protect them from something ? but from what ? what the hell does he have planned for the rest of us ? steve : he must have been lying . i mean , what could he do that would impact everyone who saw that broadcast ? olivia : this is jerry jacks we 're talking about . the man is a freakin ' sociopath . steve : you 're exaggerating . olivia : i 'm not exaggerating . half the people i work with were hostages at the metro court when he took that building over . this man is capable of anything . steve : okay , why was n't he prosecuted for the metro court ? i mean , how could he still be walking free ? olivia : i 've never been exactly clear on the details , but i 'm sure , at some point , his brother must have protected him . jax : 911 's jammed . they must be getting calls from everyone watching this . carly : do you have any idea where he is ? jax : i told you i thought heap was dead . carly : i 'm just saying , he lived here before , so , you know , where did he stay then ? is there a place he might go ? jax : i doubt it . carly : he keeps saying that josslyn was sick . she was n't just sick . she was dying , jax . her doctor looked me in the eye and said he did n't think she was gon na make it . jerry did that ! all right , he , um ... he keeps saying that he 's trying to protect her from something . what the hell was he talking about ? jax : i do n't know . carly : you do n't know . jax : i do n't . carly : all right . i 'm telling you right now , something terrible is about to happen . ewen : [ sighs ] elizabeth : i do n't know what happened here , but i was n't accusing you of anything . i thought maybe jerry was trying to protect you like he said he was doing with josslyn and alexis . ewen : why would you assume that jerry jacks would want to spare me ? elizabeth : i do n't know . but you got the same call as alexis . ewen : well , he might have been covering his tracks . i did recently live at wyndemere . maybe he wanted to be consistent in case alexis questioned me . elizabeth : it 's possible . ewen : but you 're not convinced . elizabeth : when we went on our first date , i asked you about the jacks family , and you seemed awfully familiar with them . you were -- you were able to rattle off all of their names . ewen : well , the jackses are well known in australia . elizabeth : how about in alaska ? ewen : pardon ? elizabeth : you worked in a hospital there , did n't you ? ewen : wait . how would you know that ? elizabeth : why ? is it a secret ? ewen : jason . that 's why he was here this morning , right ? he was n't here to apologize to me . he was here to warn you about my -- about my sinister history . elizabeth : does he have reason ? [ cell phone vibrating ] jason : elizabeth 's not picking up . dr. keenan was at her house . patrick : i still do n't understand . what does keenan have to do with this ? jason : i found him out at wyndemere the day after -- patrick : he lives out there . jason : yeah , that 's what he said . patrick : so you do n't believe him . jason : no , and i asked spinelli to look into it , and he found something . jerry : i sincerely apologize for the interruption . you must be so anxious to learn what fate i have in store , which , as a matter of fact , only josslyn and alexis will survive . between 2 : 00 and 3 : 00 a.m . this morning , i think , my associates and i introduced a deadly pathogen into the port charles water supply . alexis : oh , my god . [ glass shatters ] sam : could he really do that ? jerry : anyone who 's had any kind of contact with tap water has been exposed . so if you drank coffee or , my favorite , tea made from tap water , too late . if you bathed in it or even brushed your teeth with it ... too late . mcbain : get the cdc down here and test the water , all right ? i 'll get the local cops to secure the reservoir until you get here . alexis : he 's bluffing . he 's got to be bluffing . he 's not going to endanger the whole town . sam : yeah , i know , she 's right . he 's got to have a reason why he 's doing this . he would n't just do it . mcbain : good to know . i 'll be back when i know something . sam : john ... be careful , please . jerry : [ coughing ] ahh . you 'll start feeling the effects of this wonderful pathogen in roughly ... 24 to 48 hours . and shortly after that , you wo n't feel a thing 'cause you 'll be dead . anna : oh , you must think i 've lost it . luke : no . anna : yeah , in the same class as heather herself . luke : oh , please . now i think you 've lost it . anna : i had my hopes up . i do n't know why . i just -- as remote a possibility as it is , i really believed it . anyway ... luke : listen , you could n't help but think `` what if ... ? `` i 'd have given anything for that girl to have been robin . anna : but it was n't . and ... i have to ... i have to move on . luke : yeah . well , let 's get you home , huh ? anna : guess we 'll call an airline , yeah ? luke : no , we wo n't need one . anna : oh , did you get tickets ? luke : no , i have a private jet . anna : you stole a jet ? luke : no , i did n't steal it . it 's tracy 's . she gave it to me . anna : tracy 's ? luke : yeah , she just let -- anna : she gave you a plane to come and see me ? luke : she knew it was important . anna : that 's really nice . luke : mm - hmm . what 's really nice is the corinthian leather . whoa . and they 've got all these little bags of peanuts . anna : oh , i like pretzels . luke : they got 'em , too . anna : i could use a drink . luke : full bar . dr. obrecht : i 'm afraid your trip home will have to wait . while i sympathize with your plight , you perpetrate fraud on this clinic , ms . devane . under swiss law , that is a criminal offense . olivia : wait . jerry said that we have 48 hours , so the police are probably out looking for him . god , dante 's probably in charge . steve : okay , even if the police catch him , what can they do ? we 've already been exposed . olivia : i ca n't even think about that . i ca n't even think about my kid getting sick right now . and i know -- i know how selfish that sounds . dante is a grown man . i should be thinking about people with kids , with little children who 've been exposed . what about your sister , steve ? steve : elizabeth 's kids are n't here . they 're not in port charles . they 're with my grandmother at disney world . olivia : oh , thank god . steve : think about the people who are n't so lucky ? what about patrick drake ? he 's already lost robin , and now emma has been exposed to this insanity of jerry . she 's an innocent child . how much suffering -- olivia : listen to me . listen to me -- you ca n't think like that . all right ? you 're just gon na get paralyzed . and if this threat is real and this whole town is about to get sick , people are gon na need you . tracy : i took a shower this morning . so did you . you had to get all that chicken soup off you . what if that chicken soup leads to your death ? joe jr. : do n't panic . tracy : i 'm not gon na panic . why would i panic ? it 's -- it 's a scam , a diversion . he wants to terrorize the population of port charles so he can rob a bank or something . and this is where you say `` right . `` jerry : contrary to popular belief , i do have a heart . there is a way for you to survive this -- an antibiotic serum . but i 'm afraid it 's rather expensive . but no price is too high when you 're buying your own life . jax : damn it . carly : what happened ? jax ? elizabeth : what do i do ? i do n't know what to do . i -- thank god the boys are out of town with my grandmother , but i showered this morning . i -- i drank some tea . i -- ewen : unh ! that 's what it 's been about this whole time is killing everyone ? ! patrick : no , baby , emma , everything is okay . i 'll call you back as soon as i can , all right ? okay , i love you . bye . this ca n't be happening . jason : is emma okay ? patrick : she 's with maxie . she just got out of the bath . jason : patrick , i need you to listen to me . patrick : she probably had water this morning ... jason : patrick , i need you to check on elizabeth , okay ? and warn her to stay away from dr. keenan . patrick : keenan 's a good guy . i do n't think -- jason : you 've got to trust me on this . patrick : okay . okay , fine . where are you going ? jason : just please check on her . make sure she 's safe . [ indistinct shouting , telephones ringing ] alexis : all right , look . we 're gon na just stay calm and think about this rationally , all right ? jerry does n't do anything without an objective or a goal , so what is it ? what is he after ? unless it 's some sort of a diversion that he 's planning some sort of heist and he wants to divert everyone into thinking that ... sam : hey , hey , mom . mom , mom , it 's gon na be okay . alexis : okay . i have three daughters , none of whom have been vaccinated by jerry . it is not okay ! jerry : i 'm afraid i was n't finished . mcbain : you are now . alexis : who am i kidding ? who am i kidding ? of course jerry would do something like that . and he gave his motive . just now he said that the serum is expensive , so he wants everyone to pay . i wonder if i get a discount . sam : mom , please -- alexis : what i ca n't figure out is why me ? why is he sparing me ? what does he want ? does he want me to pay ? 'cause i 'll pay . sam : let 's wait for john . i know he 's gon na -- alexis : i want an antidote for my daughters , all three of you ! sam : i understand that , but freaking out is not gon na make that happen any faster ! alexis : then what will ? ewen : what is he thinking ? this ca n't be real , elizabeth . i mean , there has to be something -- elizabeth : of course it 's real . yes , it 's real ! it 's jerry jacks we 're talking about ! do n't you see him ? this is how he was at the metro court ! he thinks that this is a big game ! he does n't care who dies , ewen ! ewen : i swear , i did n't know it would go this far . elizabeth : what did you just say ? ewen : n - no , no , that 's not what i meant . elizabeth : oh , my god . ewen : no , that 's not what i meant , elizabeth . elizabeth : jason 's right . ewen : wha -- elizabeth : you are connected to jerry jacks . jerry : i ca n't say i was expecting your company . mcbain : a lot of unexpected stuff going down today . get up , hands on the table . hands -- do n't ! do n't even think about it . jerry : and you are ? mcbain : do n't worry about it . jason : we can worry about this . ewen : wait , i can explain . elizabeth : do n't lie to me . ewen : no , i 'm not . elizabeth : jason stood right here , and he told me not to trust you , but instead , i defended you . and this whole time , you knew jerry 's plan ? ! ewen : i knew nothing about this -- elizabeth : you knew something ! ewen : elizabeth , i can -- elizabeth : i 've showered , i 've done the dishes , i made tea -- ewen : which i drank , too ! listen to me , elizabeth . think about it . if i knew the water was tainted , why would i have -- why would i have gone near it ? elizabeth : i - i do n't know . i - i do n't know . maybe -- maybe because you have the antibiotic or whatever jerry 's calling it . ewen : no , no , i do n't . okay ? i 'm in the same predicament you , i swear . elizabeth : i ... i do n't believe you . ewen : 'cause jason told you not to . elizabeth : what ? ewen : no , patrick warned me about jason and your feelings for him . elizabeth : are you serious ? wha -- ewen : i should have listened to patrick , you know ? he 's a good man and a good friend , and he deserves better from me . elizabeth : what does that mean ? have you done something with patrick ? ewen : do n't worry . okay ? robin scorpio - drake was transferred to the facility in switzerland . no . but i have n't been able to give him the only thing he wants . his wife . steve : oh , come on . olivia : okay , this -- this makes total sense now . jerry 's basically holding the entire town for ransom . either we pay him for the antiserum or we all die of the pathogen . steve : the way that broadcast cut out , he obviously was n't finished . olivia : well , maybe the cops are down there . maybe they got his sorry ass in handcuffs . steve : i do n't think that was the wisest choice . olivia : what are you talking about ? steve : what he did , poisoning the water supply ... is basically insanity . olivia : well , yeah . no doubt . steve : federal law applies . we do n't bargain with jerry . so we certainly do n't pay him off . olivia : so we ca n't buy the cure . steve : i just -- i think they should have waited and tried to pretend to negotiate with jerry and hopefully get him to disclose where he 's keeping the antiserum . olivia : but you saw the broadcast ! does that look like a guy that 's gon na leave anything up to chance ? he 's not gon na give us the cure until -- unless he gets paid off . steve : which , according to federal law , ai n't gon na happen . olivia : okay . okay , give me your phone . give me your phone . steve : look , i think if you want to call dante , he 's probably fairly busy -- olivia : someone has got to contact jax . i do n't have a number for him anymore , but i 'm sure carly -- steve : jax is here in port charles . olivia : are you sure ? steve : yeah , i saw him yesterday with josslyn and carly . he probably came when carly called him about josslyn being in the hospital . olivia : okay , this situation just got a whole lot more manageable . steve : how ? i thought you said jax has been known to protect jerry . olivia : not from something like this . jax would never condone what jerry 's doing here . and he 's the only one that 's ever been able to reason with his brother . dr. obrecht : the authorities will decide when and if you can leave . luke : now just a minute . just a minute . what exactly is the offense ? dr. obrecht : ms. devane cost this institution valuable time and resources . luke : she was searching for her daughter . dr. obrecht : i understand , but that does n't give her permission to do -- luke : no , i do n't think you do understand . do you have kids , dr. obrecht ? dr. obrecht : no . luke : well , they tell me that any parent worth his or her salt will do anything -- and i mean anything -- to keep their children safe . alexis : i know you 're scared , honey , but come home , and we 'll figure it out , okay ? no , you are not gon na die . i 'm not gon na let that happen . i promise . i love you . i 'll see you in a minute . sam : hey , kristina , where are you ? can you call me as soon as you get this , please ? it 's urgent . alexis : is it still going straight to voicemail ? sam : yeah , i 'm sure she 'll be in touch soon . how 's molly ? alexis : she 's terrified . she was with t.j . when she heard the announcement , so shawn 's bringing them both over here , and i 'm sure she 'll be much more comfortable in her living room , waiting to find out if jerry poisoned her . sam : you did great . you 're gon na take care of us . i know you are . alexis : how am i gon na do that after everything jerry 's done ? anna : i take full responsibility of my actions , doctor . mr. spencer , he had nothing to do with this . luke : oh , i was a full participant , and i 'd do it again . so if looking for your kid is punishable by law , lock her up . lock me up . hell , lock every parent on the planet up ! jax : i do n't want to hear excuses . just run the trace right now and find my brother . i do n't think we have to worry about joss . i really think that jerry was telling the truth about her . carly : looks like you 're gon na get sole custody after all , huh ? jax : hey , listen to me . i 'm not gon na let you die , okay ? i 'm not gon na let my brother take you away from our little girl . all right ? carly : yeah , yeah . jax : yes , i 'm here . what have you got ? you better be right . carly : what ? jax : stay here with josslyn , okay ? do n't let her get scared . carly : what are you gon na do ? jax : whatever it takes to keep you alive . tracy : why would jerry jacks poison port charles ? what good would it do him ? he has to be bluffing . joe jr. : well , the guy sounds pretty lethal , from what you told me . he did let your brother die . tracy : he did . you 're right . oh , my god . my father , monica , you ... joseph , we 're all gon na die . joe jr. : well , what about me and my crew ? you know , if we 're gon na be handling that stuff , it could get dangerous . we 're gon na need that vaccine . jerry : i thought i told you i have a limited supply , and it 's being used by other parties , as well . joe jr. : well , then you 're gon na have to find someone else for this job . i am not going anywhere near that stuff without guaranteed protection ! jerry : relax , joe . i 've got you covered . okay ? now , a single dose , at the first sign of symptoms , mix it with water , and you 'll be fine . tracy : i do n't know what to do . i do n't know how to feel . joseph , how do you feel ? joe jr. : i feel sorry . tracy , i am so sorry . jerry : how 'd you find me ? are n't you concerned about your friends and families ? because the next 48 hours wo n't be pleasant for anyone . mcbain : including you . jerry : you know , those theatrics are quite entertaining , i must say . and as much as you would both like to kill me , you ca n't , because i 'm the only one who knows the location of the antibiotic serum . if i die , so does everyone in port charles . mcbain : you got him ? take him . jerry : uh , you were n't properly introduced , by the way . mcbain : mcbain -- pleased to meet you . you 're under arrest . put me through to detective falconeri , please . jerry : so , uh , how does it feel to work in tandem with law enforcement ? jason : just means i 've got less time to get you to talk . jerry : aww . ohh ! [ grunting ] oh , wow ! [ laughs ] luke : dr. obrecht , your clinic relies on discretion . your patients require privacy . and their families pay big bucks to make sure that you keep secret the odd aberration that dangles from their family tree . is n't that correct ? dr. obrecht : i fail to see your point . luke : my point is ... that if you try to arrest ms . devane for trying to find her child , there will be a rain of publicity falling down on you that you will be very , very sorry for . what you really want is her to go away and not darken your door again , right ? dr. obrecht : when she ransacked our records , she violated our patients ' privacy . anna : yeah , but he 's right . i think it 's to our mutual benefit if i just leave quietly . do n't you ? dr. obrecht : safe journey . luke : danke wol , doc -- anna : yeah , yeah , do n't push it . dr. obrecht : that was a very close call . [ sighs ] if you had n't removed scorpio - drake when you did , her mother would surely have discovered her . i 'm sorry . it must have been difficult for you , seeing ms . devane struggle like that . i know how much you care for her . i hope soon you get what you so desperately want . tracy : i finally meet a man who 's intelligent and attractive , not my ex- husband , and ... we 're gon na die . joe jr. : it wo n't come to that . tracy : really ? what makes you so sure ? because jerry jacks says there 's an antidote that 's available for a price ? joe jr. : that 's right . tracy : how you gon na get your hands on it ? joe jr. : i 'll figure something out . tracy : i 'd like to believe you . look , i should go . my father 's heart is no better than my brother 's , and i ... i need to be with him . joe jr. : hey . it 's gon na be okay . i 'll make sure of it . carly : it 's kind of weird , is n't it ? [ sighs ] my girl . you know , everything 's gon na be okay , baby . everything -- because your daddy 's gon na fix everything . and he 's gon na take care of us just like he always does . okay ? yeah ? alexis : you know , let me do that . sam : no , no , no , i 've got it , mom . you should be resting . alexis : good , i 'll take a nap while the world is ending . sam : it 's not armageddon , okay ? alexis : how are you staying so calm ? sam : because i have to . alexis : no , you do n't . you can choose to freak out like i am . sam : okay , well , then get it out of your system before molly gets home , will you ? alexis : sick , twisted bastard . you say you care about me ? why did n't you protect my children ? sam : mom , you need to calm down . alexis : i do n't want to survive if i 'm gon na lose the people that i love . ewen : it 's always been about jason for you , has n't it ? elizabeth : are you really doing this right now ? ewen : what , speaking the truth ? one visit from him and you have me committing acts of terrorism ! elizabeth : okay , you just need to calm down . i was n't holding you responsible . i just asked what you knew . ewen : and i told you -- nothing . elizabeth : oh , so this could be a sick joke or we could be dying right now , and you know nothing ? ! ewen : i do n't ! i do n't know anything ! elizabeth : oh -- ewen : elizabeth ! please , just listen to me ! patrick : hey . hey ! let her go ! alexis : i 'm gon na go see jerry . sam : no , no , no , you stop right now ! alexis : what do you want me to do ? just sit around and wait for my daughters to get sick ? sam : you saw john tear out of here . he must have a lead , and jason 's working on it , too , mom . alexis : that reassures you ? sam : they 'll figure out what to do . they have to . jerry : unh ! wow . that woke me up . jason : now you 're gon na tell me where that cure is . mcbain : morgan ! come on , pace yourself . jerry : you have n't gotten any brighter . it 's an antibiotic serum , or a counteragent , as you 'd call it . mcbain : hey . buddy , you ai n't looking too good . you ever want to eat solid food again , you better start cooperating . jerry : do you honestly think you can get me to talk ? jax : no . but i can .

carly : michael , it 's mom . i 'm just checking in . i have been everywhere , and i have found no sign of aj look , if you find aj , no matter what condition he 's in , call me , please . kiki : i do n't even know why we 're here , morgan . franco escaped out of a window to leave this place . why would he hang around ? morgan : yeah , well , maybe someone saw him . i mean , a guy goes flying by in a hospital gown , you 'd probably notice , would n't you ? kiki : probably . so ? morgan : so , maybe you 'd stop him , bring him back here . kiki : [ sighs ] i guess it 's possible . morgan : look , i mean , we made all these fliers . we might as well put them up just in case . excuse me . ellie : what is it ? morgan : um , we 're looking for this guy . he 's a patient here , and , uh , he took off . have you seen him anywhere ? ellie : no . sorry . kiki : this is driving me crazy . where the hell is he , morgan ? franco : i 'm definitely your dad . ava kept me from you from all those years . kiki : and ava lied . ava lied to you , she lied to us . and i 'm so sorry that i have to hurt you like this , but ... you 're not my biological father . franco : [ breathing quickly ] spinelli : she is so beautiful , is n't she ? lulu : yeah . she is . [ gasps , chuckles ] she always makes that face , like she 's sizing up the situation , figuring everything out . [ chuckles ] she gets that from her dad . ellie : that 's just it , damian . that little girl is n't dante and lulu 's daughter . she 's yours . spinelli : where did the proud papa get off to , anyway ? lulu : work . unfortunately , he got called away on a case . dante : ma . olivia : [ sobbing ] dante . dante : ma , i 'm sorry . ma , i 'm sorry . olivia : who would do this to connie ? dante : i do n't know . but i 'm about to find out , okay ? olivia : what are you saying ? are you saying you know who did this ? dante : i got a lead , but it 's not concrete . olivia : who ? who is it ? who is it ? dante : you know i ca n't tell you that . alexis : listen , we 're gon na let dante do his job , all right ? i 'll stay close . dante : thank you . olivia : you find who did this . you make them pay ! dante : do n't worry . i will get him . olivia : [ sniffles , sobs ] sonny : get up on your feet , you worthless bastard . aj : [ groaning ] sonny , what ? what is it ? sonny : you 're gon na ask me that ? aj : what -- sonny : you spineless bastard ! you want to play innocent with me ? i 'm gon na tell you what it is ! you killed connie ... aj : hey , hey , whoa , whoa , hey . sonny : ... so now ... aj : sonny . sonny : ... i 'm gon na kill you . aj : no . sonny , no . sonny : no ? aj : please . sonny : huh ? aj : come on , come on , sonny . put that away . sonny : where -- where you going ? where you going ? you got no place to hide . you 're not getting out of here alive . aj : please , you got this wrong . sonny : i do n't want to -- i do n't want to hear it ! okay ? you got something to say ? 'cause these are your last words . say it ... before i end ... aj : no . sonny : ... your miserable life . aj : come on , sonny , please . lulu : dante did n't give me many details , only that it was a shooting . i 'm guessing it 's all hands on deck . spinelli : that 's most unfortunate . i ca n't imagine any new father wanting to leave his daughter 's side . [ baby coos ] lulu : which means he will hurry back as soon as he can . spinelli : of course . i mean , dante is -- he 's most devoted . lulu : well , in the meantime , my baby and i are not hurting for company . spinelli : were you able to visit maxie in recovery ? lulu : mac said that she was n't receiving visitors . she had been sedated . spinelli : that 's a most concerning word . did he give a reason for the induced slumber ? lulu : did you not know ? maxie suffered a crisis after the cesarean . spinelli : a - a crisis ? but all seemed to be going well . lulu : maxie started hemorrhaging when they were closing her up . it was pretty bad . spinelli : i was in the observation room . she smiled at me ! so i thought she was fine , so i left . that must have been when it happened . lulu : it 's okay . she 's okay . spinelli : i should have stayed with her . lulu : no . no , no . you could n't have known . none of us did . dr. chu stopped the bleeding , and she 's gon na be okay . spinelli : i 'm grateful and relieved . i just ... i ca n't believe that maxie was fighting for her life and i did n't even know . lulu : yeah , i felt the same way . maxie had a c - section delivering my daughter , and , i mean , she went through all of this because of dante and me . spinelli : but you 're certain she 's gon na recover , right ? lulu : absolutely . spinelli : did you -- did you get to see her , though ? right . no . right . she was already sedated . um , i 'm sorry . i 'm just a little scattered . lulu : no , it 's okay . i understand . i - i 've been totally freaked out . especially since mac told me that , uh , maxie had been agitated . spinelli : agitated ? lulu : she kept talking about the baby . spinelli : may i inquire what about the baby ? lulu : um , apparently she kept saying that the baby was hers . but to be honest with you , none of this surprises me . spinelli : it does n't ? lulu : in the last few months , whenever we would talk about the baby , i felt like maxie was getting really attached . spinelli : well , i mean , i guess that explains it , then . lulu : not all of it . maxie said one another thing . she did n't just say that the baby was hers . she said that it was yours , too . morgan : mom , what are you doing here ? did something happen to joss ? carly : uh , other than the fact that she 's spending a month with her father in australia . morgan : oh , right . um , i 'm sorry . carly : she 'll be happy to know you thought about her . morgan : yeah . um , so why -- why are you here ? is it dad ? carly : aj aj morgan : right . right , right , right . yeah , michael 's been worried about him . carly : with good reason . i mean , i told michael i would help him search . i have been in every bar on every block on van ness . i thought i should check the e.r . morgan : uh , michael thinks aj 's been drinking again . i 'm sorry i did n't tell you . just with the whole franco crisis , i feel like -- kiki : i knew all about aj michael told me . carly : so , uh , what is this franco crisis ? kiki : franco 's missing . ellie : [ sighs ] ellie : [ sobbing ] can you ever forgive me ? spinelli : ellie , to be absolutely frank , i - i ca n't even look at you right now . ellie : [ sniffles ] franco : do n't do anything i would n't do . i 'm just saying . it 's a long way down . dante : hey . michael : bro , what 's up ? oh , uh , i got your text . maxie had the baby . congratulations . dante : yeah . thanks . michael : yeah . i ca n't wait to meet my new niece . i 'm probably gon na stop by there first thing tomorrow morning . probably got your hands full with all the descending relatives , right ? actually , why -- why you here ? should n't you be at the hospital , or are you trying to avoid diaper duty ? dante : no , i 'd love to be doing that right now . uh , i need to talk to aj , ask him some questions . michael : about what ? about what , dante ? dante : about a murder . michael : murder ? who -- who was killed ? dante : my cousin , connie . olivia : [ sobbing ] i need to see sonny . god , he 's got to be in pieces right now . where the hell could he have gone ? alexis : i 've never been very good at anticipating where he goes or what he does , but i can guarantee that he 's not handling his grief very well . olivia : no , he is not . alexis : my point is , whatever he 's doing , he 's not thinking clearly . olivia : no . it just does n't make any sense . you think he just wandered off ? i mean , he was in there with connie . he called 911 . where the hell did he go ? aj : what are you saying ? connie 's dead ? sonny : yeah , she 's dead ! aj : come on . sonny : bleeding all over the floor of her office . i tried to save her , aj but i could n't ! you know why ? ! because she was shot ! you put a bullet in her ! and now ... i 'm gon na put a bullet in you ! ellie : did n't anyone teach you not to sneak up on people on roofs ? you scared me . franco : yeah , i get that a lot . unlike you . probably never scare anybody , do you ? heard you coming from two stories down . ellie : are you even allowed to be up here ? you know , this is a restricted area . franco : what are you doing here ? ellie : well , i work here . franco : well , i pay to be here , so that 's the money they pay you with . so , technically , i 'm your boss . i say you 're the one that 's not allowed up on the roof . ellie : it does n't work like that . franco : you sure ? ellie : the point is , you should n't be up here , because it 's not safe . franco : that 's why i like it . ellie : i 'm sure your loved ones would n't be happy to hear that . franco : what makes you think i have loved ones ? ellie : of course you have them . franco : i think you 're confused . ellie : franco , right ? yeah , well , people are looking for you , so ... franco : who gave you this ? ellie : your daughter . franco : lauren katherine `` kiki `` jerome is not my daughter , no matter what her mother would have the world believe . and i did believe . now the only person in the world that i actually care about is out of my life . ellie : [ scoffs ] what a coincidence . same thing just happened to me . spinelli : so , am i to understand that in maxie 's post - partum delirium , she claimed that your baby was hers and ... mine ? lulu : this was all according to mac , but he did emphasize that maxie was pretty drugged up , not exactly coherent . but i do n't know . i do n't know how to make sense of all of this . what about you ? spinelli : me ? lulu : can you think of any reason why maxie would say that ? michael : c - connie 's dead ? dante : yeah . she was shot in her office . that 's where i just came from . michael : why -- why do you want to talk to aj ? dante , come on . aj would n't -- would n't do this . dante : michael , michael , given aj 's state of mind recently , i do n't think anyone 's sure what he can do . michael : he just lost elq . that does n't mean he 's gon na do something like this . dante : and -- and he was upset at connie for writing that article . michael : it does n't mean he 's gon na kill her ! dante : michael , he broke into sonny 's house the day the article came out . he confronted connie , threatened her . you were there . michael : he would n't do -- he would n't do this . what makes you think that -- that aj did this , besides a run - in in the past ? dante : connie pointed to aj michael : what ? dante : her blood , michael . she wrote his name in her own blood . olivia : i really wish i knew where sonny went . alexis : okay . let 's find him . i 'll call shawn . olivia : it just -- it does n't make any sense . he was in there with her . where would he go ? he would n't leave her alone . alexis : she 's not alone . olivia : she 's in there with strangers . she needs to be with her family . alexis : listen , it 's not a good idea , and this is why -- listen , listen -- because the police need to do their job . olivia : i wo n't be trouble . i need to be with my cousin ! alexis : olivia . officer : i 'm sorry , ma'am . you ca n't come in here . olivia : listen , listen , she 's my cousin . listen , my son 's a cop , so i totally understand how this works . i promise i wo n't even get in the way . you wo n't even know that -- alexis : olivia , you need to sit down . olivia : [ gasps ] oh , god ! alexis : let 's go sit down , all right ? olivia : [ sobbing ] who would do this to her ? alexis : help me . olivia : wait a minute . wait . what is that ? aj : sonny , please do n't do this . please , please do n't do it . please . sonny : begging 's not gon na save you now . aj : lis -- listen . listen to me . i ... sonny : you thought you could get away with it , aj , and you could n't . you might have killed connie , but she 's taking you down . you know why ? she named you ! she wrote your name ... in her own blood . aj : sonny , this is wrong . this is all wrong . sonny : i want to hear you say it . aj : say what ? sonny : i want to hear you say what you did to connie . i mean , come on . we all know you hated her , aj you blame her for losing elq . but you did n't need her for that . we all know that that 's what you 're great at -- losing . that 's what defines you . aj : please . listen -- sonny : you could n't even kill her when she was unarmed on the first try ! then you went back and you had to finish the business ! aj : no . sonny : confess and die with a clear conscience . aj : [ breathing heavily ] [ sniffs ] sonny : you 're not gon na do that , right , aj ? i figured that , so i 'm gon na -- i 'm gon na give you a choice that you would understand . confess and die quickly , or do n't and i will make it so slow and ugly for you . confess ! now ! aj : [ sniffs ] carly : he climbed out of a hospital window ? kiki : we went in his room . his bed was empty . his window was open . carly : so , this whole routine about him being a changed man is just one big lie . he does n't want to face his charges . he 's running the first second he gets . kiki : no , no , no . that 's not why . i - i think it was because he was upset that he could n't be danny 's bone - marrow donor . he thought it was the one good thing he could do to prove that he was worthy of being my father , then he found out that he is n't . franco : kindred spirits . what are the odds of you and i meeting together like this on the rooftop ? it 's cool . i could use some advice . what did you do when you found out that your kid is not your kid ? ellie : what ? no . no . i do n't have any kids . i do n't even want kids . not really . i do n't know . i do n't think so . franco : [ scoffs ] who 'd want to bring another ginger into the world ? it 's rough on you guys , right ? ellie : um , no . i was referring to your description of losing the person you care most about , which , in my case , is my boyfriend . was my boyfriend . franco : that sucks . i 'm sorry . how 'd he die ? ellie : what ? he did n't die . he 's very much alive . he just does n't want anything to do with me . franco : why ? what 'd you do ? ellie : what do you assume i did something wrong ? franco : did n't you ? ellie : [ sighs ] okay . i did . but you really should n't make assumptions , you know . it 's rude . franco : only ... ellie : only what ? franco : well , might have been rude , but i was right . come on . you can tell me all about it . what 'd you do that was so bad ? ellie : i lied to the man that i love most and completely destroyed our relationship , okay ? and i do n't think he 's ever gon na forgive me . spinelli : i 'm afraid i ca n't shed any light on the intent of maxie 's ramblings . but , you know , maybe we 're not -- we 're not meant to . even when she 's lucid , maxie 's thought process is elliptical at best . trying to look for deeper meaning in her drug - fueled haze might just be a cause of grief and frustration . lulu : still ... high on medication , there just has to be a reason why she would say that my baby is hers -- and yours . do you think that this could be because of you ? spinelli : i do n't -- i do n't follow . lulu : maybe maxie has got some residual feelings for you . maybe she still cares about you . spinelli : i - i doubt that 's the case . maxie and i have been over for so long . there 's aquariums of water under that bridge . yeah . i do n't see us getting back together . lulu : well , of course not . you 're with ellie . spinelli : [ scoffs ] lulu : oh , i 'm sorry . are you still fighting ? spinelli : uh , no , no . we 're not fighting . we 're over . franco : your lie was really that bad ? ellie : i told myself i was equivocating for the most noble of purposes -- to protect someone , but that justification just rings hollow now . i hid something from damian that he had the right to know . and not just that , by keeping this information secret , i may have just ruined six lives . franco : six ? ellie : yes . franco : wow , you 're efficient . ellie : it 's not funny . franco : no , it 's not . a lie like that is really serious . a lie that hurt so many people , i think it requires something equally serious . ellie : it -- it sounds like you have some advice for me . franco : yeah , i do . you want my advice ? ellie : yeah , i mean , at this point , i 'm willing to entertain any ideas . i am dying to make it up to damian . franco : it 's an interesting choice of words , 'cause as i see it , you only have one choice . you should jump . michael : connie wrote aj 's name in her own blood ? there 's no mistake ? dante : i saw it with my own eyes . and now i need to see aj i know your impulse is gon na be to protect him , but that would be a mistake . michael : the kind of mistake you made with dad ? dante : the kind of mistake i made and regret . but , michael , i hate that this is happening to you , that you 're here right now . i wish to god you were n't , but you are , and you need to cooperate . connie is dead . i need to see aj michael : he 's -- he 's passed out in the den . dante : thank you . michael : he 's not gon na be much of a help to you , though . dante : why is that ? michael : he was drinking , okay ? i 'm trying to sober him up right now . dante : i still need to talk to him . michael : wait , uh , does dad know that connie 's dead ? dante : yeah , michael , he -- he made the 911 call . i 'm pretty sure he found her . michael : dad found connie dead ? dante : yeah , i have n't heard the tape , but everyone says it sounded like his voice on the other end of the line . he was n't at the scene by the time i got there . michael : if dad saw what you saw , aj 's name , he 's gon na come straight here . alexis : we 're gon na have to stand over here . olivia : connie was trying to tell us something ! she 's trying to say that aj did this . alexis : look , that 's a possibility . let 's not get ahead of ourselves . we do n't know anything yet . olivia : i know everything i need to know . aj had a massive hate - on for connie ever since she ran that story about kiki and elq . aj did this . aj did this , and connie is trying to tell us . alexis : sonny called 911 , so he must have seen it . olivia : that 's where he went . sonny went after aj alexis : so did dante , so do n't panic , all right ? he 's not gon na let sonny hurt aj aj : damn it , sonny ! listen to me ! sonny : there 's only one thing i want you to tell me . aj : what the hell do you want from me ? ! sonny : admit it ! aj : what do you want ? ! sonny : confess what you did to connie ! aj : i do n't know what you want to hear from me , sonny ! ah ! ah ! sonny : i do n't want to hear anything , then ! you ca n't come clean ? ! i figured ! i 'm tired of playing these games right now . you know what ? it 's time . get your head down . get your head down ! aj : no , please . sonny : come on , you bitch ! michael : dad , dad , stop ! ellie : you want me to kill myself ? franco : i do n't `` want `` anything . i do n't care what you do . i 'm just telling you how you can get forgiveness for your transgression . ellie : and what good is getting forgiveness if i 'm not even around to enjoy it ? franco : i do n't think you understand the impact that a lie has on the lied - tos -- the lie - ee ? do you say that ? it does n't matter . look , here 's the thing . if your lie was as big and as devastating as you say , then you 're never gon na be able to repair this relationship . trust me . i know that . ellie : oh , really ? and what makes you an expert ? franco : for 21 years , i was kept from my child . and then it turns out that her mother was lying to me . she 's not my child . i do n't even have a child . and for 21 years , i longed for something , for someone . i imagined what it would be like to be with her , and that 's gone . and now i want -- i want restitution . ellie : you want restitution ? like what ? what ? do you want your ex to jump off a building , too ? franco : no , death would be too good for ava jerome . ellie : oh , but it 's okay for me . look , i do n't know much about your situation -- franco : i do n't know anything about it , either . i do n't know why ava lied to me . i do n't know why she tried to convince me that she was pregnant . could n't have been for child support . she never asked me for a dime . it was n't to try and keep a hold over me . she got rid of me first chance she got . the only thing i know for sure is that ava was only thinking about ava . she did n't care that she screwed me over in the process . does n't care that she screwed kiki over in the process . ellie : okay , well , i suspect that there may be another side to the story , one that is perhaps more forgiving to the person who lied to you . franco : you 've never met ava jerome . ellie : no , you 're right . i have n't . but i really do n't understand how you 're drawing a parallel between her actions and mine . franco : [ chuckling ] really ? ellie : yeah , really . franco : you do n't see it ? ellie : no . franco : she 's a liar . you 're a liar . ellie : oh , no , no , no , no . i 'm not a liar . i made one mistake . and yes , it was horrible and completely destructive , but it 's not worth giving up on damian , and it 's certainly not worth killing myself over ! franco : well , i guess you just have no flair for the dramatic . ellie : i do n't need to become a martyr to get redemption . is that what you 're thinking about ? i thought you were on some big forgiveness tour . have n't you wrought havoc on scores of people ? i mean , according to your logic , you should have committed seppuku like 10 times over . franco : it 's really messy . there are other ways . ellie : but instead you are set on proving yourself worthy of a second chance , are n't you ? franco : well , yeah . ellie : yeah , well , so am i. damian is the best thing that has ever happened to me . and if i just surrender now and -- and slink off into the night , then i 'm doing as great a dishonor on our love as i am on my lie . franco : what i said before about you having no flair for the dramatic , i was wrong . you 're pretty good at it . ellie : you are free to mope around about all the wrong that has been done to you , completely forgetting about all the wrong that you 've done to others . but not me . i will fix my life . [ door opens , closes ] lulu : i hope you wo n't mind if i hold on to hope that you and ellie work it out . you guys were such a happy couple . and actually , you seemed really happy when you were with her . i think you 've grown a lot in her presence . she was really good for you . spinelli : i 'm not so sure . lulu : i better get back to the baby , keep her company while she waits for her dad to get here . spinelli : okay . [ door opens ] spinelli : [ sighs deeply ] morgan : i think we covered everyone on this floor , and it 's getting kind of late , so we should probably pack it in . kiki : we still have no idea where franco went . morgan : well , he 's bound to show up sooner or later . the cops are all over it . carly : and the cops are better equipped to handle this . morgan : yeah . my mom 's right . carly : and coming from morgan , that 's saying something . kiki : okay , fine . yeah . i guess we can get a fresh start in the morning . if you or michael find aj or franco , will you let me know ? carly : of course . kiki : thanks . morgan : thanks , mom . ellie : hi . there is a patient on the roof . he does n't seem suicidal , but he is definitely acting weird . i 'll call security . did you get a name ? ellie : just one . it 's that weird guy , franco . alexis : okay , i ca n't reach shawn , which means anything or nothing in regards to sonny , and i 'm sure he 'll come back here any minute . olivia : i know where sonny went . he 's gunning for aj , and i do n't need no psychic vision to tell me that . in fact , i do n't need these psychic visions period ! what the hell good are they ? i - i saw my cousin lying on the ground covered in blood , and i could n't do a damn thing to stop it ! alexis : olivia , you 're suffering a terrible loss . olivia : i know , but i knew ! i knew that connie was gon na die ! what good is it if i can have these glimpses of the future if [ sniffles ] i ca n't even help the people that i love ? alexis : i wish that i could explain this -- this gift -- olivia : it 's not a gift ! it 's a torture ! alexis : olivia , we know one thing for sure . what happened to connie is not your fault . we do n't know who 's to blame . olivia : [ sniffles ] the person to blame is aj quartermaine . i hope to god he is getting what he deserves . i hope dante 's late . i hope sonny kills him . sonny : get out of here . dante : drop the gun , sonny . sonny : i need to do this , dante . dante : sonny , i mean it . you got to drop the gun . michael : dante . dante : sonny , drop the gun . sonny : do you know what happened ? ! he killed connie ! dante : i know . i was just at her office . sonny : then you know aj did it ! she wrote his name in her blood ! she named aj ! dante : that 's why i 'm here , sonny . i need to take aj in . you let me handle this right now , okay ? sonny : no , no . he murdered my fiancée . i 'm gon na handle it . you understand me ? i 'm gon na kill him right now ! dante : he 's gon na pay , sonny . sonny : i do n't care ! dante : he 's gon na pay , sonny . sonny : no one 's gon na stop me ! dante : he 's gon na stand trial , and he 's gon na get convicted . sonny : i 'm gon na kill him right now , and you 're not gon na stop me ! no one can ! michael : not even me , dad ? sonny : michael , i 'm asking you . i 'm your father . walk out of here and leave . i do n't want you to see this . michael : dad , i 'm not going anywhere , okay , so if you want to murder aj , you got to do it right in front of me . sonny : okay , look , this has to be done . i ca n't let aj get away with this . [ voice breaking ] he murdered connie . he 's gon na pay now ! michael , he 's gon na pay ! michael : dad , i know , i know that you loved connie , okay ? but i love you , too ! so does dante ! so does morgan and kristina ! if you do this , you 're gon na be taken away from us ! sonny : it does n't -- it 's not about me , michael ! michael : this matters to me , okay ? ! this matters to me ! if you do this , you 're gon na be going to prison for the rest of your life . i 'm gon na be losing both you and aj and i know that does n't mean anything to you , but it means everything to me . look , i 'm -- i 'm your son . i 'm your son , okay ? and i am proud of that . and i am proud of you . and i 'll never forget that i 'm named after you , dad . okay , but like it or not , i am aj 's son , too . sonny : [ voice breaking ] do n't ask me to do this . michael : i am asking you , dad . i am begging you . look , look , if aj did this , if he killed connie , he 's gon na pay , okay ? with dante , the commissioner , the courts -- they 'll make sure it happens . it 's just ... dad , if it 's you -- if you kill aj , then everyone who loves you is gon na pay the price . sonny : i 'm sorry . i -- michael : and i will never look you in the eyes ever again , okay ? we wo n't be father and son anymore . nothing ! you 'll be nothing to me . just -- just do n't do that . put the gun down . for you and me . alexis : what 's going on ? olivia : i 'm just thinking . [ sniffles ] the last time i saw my cousin ... we fought . [ sniffles ] and now i 'm never gon na be able to make that right . i 'm never gon na be able to tell her that i 'm sorry . alexis : all right . all right . olivia : [ sobbing ] alexis : it 's okay . michael : dad ? do n't . aj : [ breathing heavily ] [ gasps ] oh , god . oh , god . thank you . sonny : do n't thank me . aj : ah ! sonny : spineless bastard . you got to thank michael , 'cause he 's the only one who could have saved you tonight . he 's all yours . aj : [ groans ] sonny : it 's on you . put him away . michael : dad , wait . sonny : it 's okay , michael . ellie : [ sighs ] spinelli : oh ! thousand apologies . ellie : i was just on my way to see you . spinelli : i was just leaving . ellie : damian , do you think you could spare just a few minutes to talk to me ? spinelli : ellie , i - i have nothing left to say . ellie : okay , that 's fine , but i do . spinelli : perhaps i do n't care to hear it . ellie : okay , well , that is certainly a possibility , but in the off - chance that you do , please , can i just say my piece ? spinelli : you have until the elevator arrives . ellie : okay , well , it wo n't take long . i just want to tell you that , damian , i love you so much , and i wo n't give up on us . [ door opens ] franco : look who changed her mind . carly : changed my mind about what ? franco : wow . ca n't a guy spend some time alone on a roof ? carly : you 're not gon na be alone for long . security 's on their way up . franco : what are you ? the advance team ? carly : no . i just heard , you know , this was , um , the place to be . also heard you had a rough couple hours . franco : oh , okay , so this is sympathy . carly : no . pity . let 's just call it pity . franco : that would be better . thank you . carly : i know you really wanted to help danny , so it must have hurt finding out you were n't a viable match . franco : sucks more for danny , do n't you think ? carly : i also know about silas clay . franco : oh , what ? that my daughter 's not my daughter ? yeah . you know wt ? i only really got to know her for , like , a few months , so no great loss , okay ? do n't get me wrong . i mean , i - i did ... really want to get to know her . i did . i knew it was too late for potato - sack races and whatever else fathers -- what do fathers do with their daughters ? carly : lots of things . franco : yeah , well , whatever those things are , i know that i missed the boat on all of them . but i just wanted to be her friend . and i wanted to prove to her that there 's more to me , you know ? i 'm not the notorious franco anymore . and what better way to do that than to save my nephew 's life ? which i would have done regardless , by the way . carly : of course . franco : [ sighs ] and now what ... who am i gon na prove myself to now ? carly : what about me ? carly : you came to port charles and you said you wanted to atone . you said you wanted to make amends to all the people that you 've hurt , including me . and i got to tell you , you have n't even scratched the surface there yet . franco : great work takes time . carly : then i guess you better get cracking . you need to focus . forget about all the easy ways out . forget about why you came up here . get back on track . you say you 've changed . make me believe it . lulu : [ humming ] ellie : what i did was awful and completely reprehensible and a million other adjectives , none of which are good . but our relationship was good . it -- it is good . and i wo n't let it go without a fight . spinelli : [ sniffs ] [ elevator bell dings ] carly : [ sighs ] [ door opens ] carly : you coming or not ? we knew that one day we would see the end we never thought it was now it seems impossible to comprehend but this ca n't be ... aj : thank you . you saved my life , michael . if you had n't have stepped in , sonny would have killed me . dante : you know what ? you can thank him later . my cousin is dead . and you 're gon na answer for it . olivia : [ sobs ] singer : so now i will say my goodbyes i 'm letting myself cry again praying that you 'll fly again one day i will find your eyes and it 's incomplete .
olivia wonders why sonny left connie 's office after calling 9 - 1 - 1 . she sees aj 's initials written in blood and determines that he must have gone after aj . alexis says dante already came to that conclusion and is going to intercede . olivia hopes dante gets there quickly . when dante arrives at the quartermaine mansion , michael insists that aj could n't possibly have killed connie . dante says connie wrote aj 's name with her blood . michael is afraid that sonny will come after aj . they go into the den and stop sonny from shooting aj . michael tells sonny that if he kills aj , he will go to prison for the rest of his life and michael will go from having two fathers to having none . sonny relents and tells dante to make sure aj pays . dante takes aj to the station . sonny returns to connie 's office just as the emts are wheeling her body away . he sees alexis hugging olivia and turns away .
franco : looks like you 've got your hands full , huh ? lucy coe , bobbie spencer . lucy coe , bobbie spencer . scott : tough choice i have . franco : yeah , i 'd tread carefully if i were you . scott : well , you 're not me . if you were ... franco : well , if i were you , i certainly would n't tell lucy about that nightcap you had with bobbie the other night . scott : nightcap ? what nightcap ? franco : what do you mean , `` what nightcap ? `` olivia : well , this is just great . sonny : olivia . what do you mean ? olivia : well , we have no idea where lulu is , except she 's with this levi who just shot his own accomplice . that 's -- that 's real comforting . sonny : nothing 's gon na happen to lulu -- not with dante on the case . dante : take a look . nathan : `` andrew ' frisco ' jones `` ? as in ... dante : maxie 's father . nathan : what 's he got to do with all of this ? felicia : mac , i am so happy that you are feeling better , but , you know , you gave me a real scare when you took that gunshot . mac : it was just a scratch , felicia . felicia : you had a bullet in your shoulder , honey . mac : not every gunshot wound is life and death . sometimes you just get clipped by a treacherous bum . [ clattering ] doctor : what have we got ? emt : gsw , lower left quadrant . massive blood loss and hypovolemic shock . bp 's 50/30 . heart rate 150 . mac : that 's the son of a bitch who took maxie and lulu . tv : the search continues for the two hostages -- maxie jones and lulu spencer- falconeri . police have identified two suspects -- levi dunkleman and jeffrey scribner . they are described as ... [ rattling ] silas : hi . nina : h i almost had it . silas : yeah . where is , uh -- where 's rosalie ? nina : rosalie -- um , she has the night off . she had a big day , and i gave her the night off . silas : oh , no . she 's gon na be missed . nina : oh , i know , right ? silas : yeah . how was physical therapy ? nina : it was really good . silas : yeah ? nina : i 'm feeling stronger . you were right . silas : i told you . nina : did i not say you were right ? silas : well , i did n't hear it . nina : i ca n't wait to burn this chair . seriously , i ca n't wait to walk again and just burn this chair . i just want it just to be a pile of ashes . silas : you do know it 's metal , right ? nina : well , then i want it to be a puddle on the ground . i just want it destroyed . silas : yeah , i think that could be arranged . nina : good . so , how about you ? how was your talk with samantha ? is everything okay ? silas : it was fine . you know , she just , um -- she wanted to go through some of rafe 's things and , uh , see if there 's anything that might help her in , uh , investigating the accident . nina : did you find anything ? silas : just this . patrick : hello ? hello ? who you got to sleep with to get a drink around here ? patrick : hey . sam : hey , yourself . patrick : what are you doing here ? sam : me ? uh , my mom has danny for the night , so i thought i would seize the opportunity and take a break from sippy cups and the nature channel . patrick : wait a second . the nature channel ? he watches the nature channel ? sam : oh , yeah . it 's crazy . he 's totally obsessed with it . there was a special on africa last week , and he was just hypnotized . loved it . patrick : unique boy you have there . sam : yes , he is . thank you . and i 'm in desperate need of a drink . patrick : yeah , i hear you on that . sam : so ... what 's your story ? where 's emma ? patrick : uh , she 's at a sleepover . i 'm sure she 's gorging herself on sugar right now , so i took the opportunity to myself because i do n't have a job to get to tomorrow . sam : well , there you go . that 's one of the perks of being unemployed . patrick : it is one of the perks , yeah . sam : where is the bartender ? patrick : i have no idea , but i 'm about to jump back there and pour myself a drink . chris : sorry about that . i 'm just coming on shift . patrick : yeah ? late night ? forget to set your alarm ? chris : no , uh , someone else was on duty tonight , but he got arrested . nina : crichton - clark -- that 's the clinic i spent most of my coma in . silas : i know . i found it at the bottom of a box of rafe 's stuff . could it be yours ? nina : i 've never seen it before . um , maybe rosalie had it and just accidentally fell into rafe 's stuff . silas : yeah . yeah . you know , i did -- i considered that . then i realized your mother had you moved right before you woke up , and rosalie started when you were at the new facility , right ? nina : right . but she had all my medical records , and maybe this was attached to something , and it just fell off . silas : yeah , that 's probably it . nina : you do n't seem convinced , though . um ... silas : i mean , there 's one more thing i ca n't quite figure out . it 's got me perplexed . where do you think rafe got $ 500 ? scott : i honestly have no idea what you 're talking about . franco : i can explain ... but not here . scott : what the hell are you doing ? this room is for interrogations . franco : perfect . because this is an interrogation . olivia : i 'm gon na go check in with the sitter , make sure everything 's okay . i 'll be right back . carly : i ca n't believe this . sonny : [ sighs ] i know . carly : when i was kidnapped by heather , i just kept wondering , `` am i ever gon na see my kids again ? `` i ca n't imagine what lulu 's going through right now . sonny . let 's go . anna : oh , mac . hi . mac : did you shoot that guy ? anna : what ? i ? no . i did n't . dunkleman did . felicia : levi ? anna : yeah . mac : i thought they were in on the robbery together . anna : well , obviously , they had a falling - out . um , my detectives , nathan and dante -- they followed them to a cabin by the lake , and they found scribner there . mac : and he said levi shot him ? anna : right . felicia : what about maxie and lulu ? anna : they were n't there . neither was levi . mac : so now what ? we 're back to square one ? anna : no , my detectives are at the cabin . you know , they 're looking for any evidence left behind . nathan : this is all about felicia 's aztec jewels -- about how she and maxie 's father recovered them . dante : well , it makes sense . levi did his research , right ? found the best way to get his hands on the stuff . nathan : i guess , but why is the picture of maxie 's father circled ? how is he involved ? dante : there 's only one way to find out . we got to get in touch with frisco jones . nathan : the sooner we find frisco , the better . dante : yeah , that 's easier said than done . nathan : what do you mean ? dante : the guy 's a wsb agent . he could literally be anywhere in the world right now . nathan : all right , well , felicia 's still here in port charles . she 's his ex- wife . she 's the mother of his children . they got to have some sort of emergency plan . dante : yeah , you know what ? for all we know , felicia 's already tried to get in touch with him . she 's our best bet . nathan : you think she 's still at the hospital ? dante : yeah , there 's no way mac 's been discharged yet . nathan : okay , so , we go there . we kill two birds with one stone . we talk to felicia . we check in with scribner . dante : i got a better idea . you go to g.h . , take care of things on that end . i 'll go to the station . nathan : the commissioner ? dante : yeah . i mean , she was a career wsb before she joined the force . she 's got to have back channels to the bureau . she 's got to have a way of getting in touch with frisco . nathan : all right . well , with any luck , we 're getting closer to getting some answers . sonny : carly , i was n't coming on to you . we 're in the middle of a crisis . your cousin , my daughter - in - law 's missing . i was just -- i was trying to make you feel better . carly : i appreciate it . i do . but franco would n't . sonny : i do n't care what franco would n't do . carly : sonny , come on . sonny : i hate that you tiptoe around him , you know , because , like , you 're afraid to set him off . carly : i am not afraid of him . sonny : you do n't owe him anything . he 's been living off you . carly : he has a job now . sonny : oh . oh , yeah ? is he gon na pay back the months that he stayed free at the hotel ? carly : you say you 're trying to comfort me ? i do n't feel comforted right now . i am worried to death about maxie and lulu , okay ? i do n't want to stand here and fight with you and give franco something to be suspicious about . i do n't -- i do n't want to do it , okay ? sonny : you know why you 're mad , right ? carly : do n't do this . sonny : because you know i 'm right . carly : sonny , damn it , franco is right -- where the hell did he go ? franco : last night , i was stuck in an elevator with this woman , nina . scott : yeah . so ? franco : and she told me that she saw sonny and carly kissing . scott : well , did you ask her ? i mean , carly , not this , uh -- what -- tina ? franco : nina . yeah , i asked carly about it , and she said that she pushed sonny off of her immediately and told him to get lost . scott : well , did the elevator lady confirm ? franco : well , she said that she left right after she saw sonny and carly kissing , so it 's entirely possible . scott : case closed . goodbye . franco : it was maybe , but then you just blew the case wide open again . scott : me ? franco : yeah , you . okay , i get out of the elevator , and i go straight home , and i ask carly what 's going on , and she 's got a - a box of pizza and two wineglasses . scott : bum , ba - bum , bum ! franco : exactly . scott : i mean , do you really think that carly was entertaining sonny ? franco : no , i did . i -- but then carly told me that the second wineglass was for her mom -- that her and bobbie were sharing a box of pizza and a bottle of wine until you called and asked bobbie to go out for a nightcap , and now i have this sinking feeling that that story might not be true . patrick : the other bartender got arrested ? sam : for what ? chris : no idea . like i said , i just got here . patrick : hmm . chris : so , what can i get you ? sam : um , i 'll have a beer . patrick : yeah , beer , please . sam : whatever you have on tap , too , is good . but are you as curious as i am ? patrick : yeah , maybe he got busted stealing money or booze or something . sam : yeah , but even so , i think mac would just fire him , not haul him off in handcuffs . patrick : that 's a good point . chris : sorry for the wait , guys . sam : ah . chris : this round 's on the house . sam : thank you . patrick : thank you very much . sam : sorry . cheers . patrick : cheers . sam : to a night off . i 'm actually really happy i do n't have to spend it alone . patrick : want to talk about it ? sam : [ sighs ] okay . look , once it 's unleashed , it 's gon na be pretty hard to tame . patrick : oh , come on . your demons are no match for me . sam : remember when i told you earlier that i had gotten rafe 's phone ? patrick : yes , and that it was a dead end and that it was probably frustrating , but i would think -- sam : no , no , no . i - i was n't upset about that . i mean , yeah , do n't get me wrong . i 'm upset about rafe and the whole thing . it was just i got really frustrated after ... silas got the phone . patrick : mm . did n't go so well ? sam : we , um -- we got into it over nina . nina : wow . $ 500 ? that 's a lot of money for a teenager to be carrying . silas : what concerns me more is , just a few hours before the crash , he did n't have it . nina : how do you know that ? silas : he came to me at the hospital , and he asked me for $ 400 . nina : why ? silas : he said it was for a camping trip with friends . i mean , it 's not like he could say to me , `` hey , uncle silas , i need some cash to pay off my drug dealer , `` right ? nina : si , you have to stop doing this to yourself . silas : anyway , you know , i did n't give it to him , right ? and we made plans to meet after work and go have some dinner . nina : but you never got the chance . silas : no , so , somewhere between him leaving the hospital and that crash , he ended up with a hell of a lot of money . nina : you do n't think molly gave it to him ? silas : no . nina : i mean , you 're -- you do n't think i gave him $ 500 . that 's not what you 're asking me , is it ? silas : did you ? anna : so , i spoke to the doctor . mac : what did he say ? nathan : hey , what 's the word on scribner ? anna : he 's still alive . he 's alive . nathan : well , is he talking ? anna : no , not yet . they 're still working on him . nathan : but he 's gon na pull through , right ? anna : they do n't know . what about you and dante ? did you find anything at the cabin ? nathan : yeah . yeah , that 's part of the reason i 'm here , actually . felicia , i wanted to talk to you ... felicia : okay . yeah . nathan : ... about this . felicia : oh , what on earth ? nathan : it was in levi 's things ? anna : can i see that ? felicia : sure . anna : that 's frisco circled . nathan : yeah , evidently , uh , levi 's interested in felicia 's ex for some reason . i was hoping you might be able to get in contact with him . felicia : well , i tried to reach him when maxie was kidnapped , but no luck . nathan : is that common ? felicia : in frisco 's line of work , i mean , he can go missing for months , sometimes years . so i called the wsb field office , and they said that he was on an assignment , and he was unreachable . anna : that 's typical wsb . they play things very close to the chest , especially where civilians are concerned . uh , you explained your situation , i suppose ? felicia : a hundred times to a hundred people . nathan : this is crazy , though . the daughter of one of their agents is missing . the guy 's got a right to know . anna : well , i still have pretty high clearance there at the wsb . maybe i can get to the bottom of this . okay . carly : where the hell did franco go ? he was sitting up here talking to scotty . sonny : i do n't know . i do n't care . carly : well , thank you , 'cause that 's helpful . sonny : no , what i 'm saying is , sooner or later , you 're gon na realize that you made a mistake . when you do ... i 'll be here . carly : i - i got -- i got to go find franco . scott : i did call bobbie , and i did meet her for dinner . franco : dinner ? scott : yeah . franco : did she mention that she 'd already had pizza with carly ? scott : no , but , you know , she has a big appetite . you would never know that when you look at her figure , you know ? franco : well , you 're right about that . but why would she say `` dinner `` when she meant `` nightcap `` ? those are two different things , right ? dinner 's one thing , a nightcap another . they do n't even sound the same . they 're two different ideas entirely . scott : well , maybe she did n't want you guys to know that she ate twice , you know ? who cares ? why are you looking for trouble ? you do not want to get in the middle of carly and sonny . trust me . franco : you 're telling me that there 's something to get in the middle of ? scott : he 's a bad guy . he 's a real bad guy . you 're my son . i 'd hate to see him fit you for cement shoes and drop you in the river . franco : your concern is sweet , dad . give me your phone . what time did you make the call ? scott : what ? franco : the call to bobbie to ask her out for -- scott : what difference does it make ? franco : i was on the phone with her when the pizza arrived , so if you and bobbie were already having your dinner nightcap , then that story does n't make any sense . now give me your phone . scott : you actually want to look at my phone ? franco : yeah , i really want to look at your phone . give me your phone . scott : that 's ridiculous . carly : hey . hi . i was looking for you . what 's going on ? sonny : everything all right ? olivia : yeah , it 's fine . rocco went down without any problems . of course he did . he does n't even know his mother 's missing . [ gasps ] nina : of course i did n't give rafe that money . i mean , you , of all people , know that my mother froze all of my financial assets . silas : yeah , i know that . nina : yeah , and even if my assets were n't frozen , why would i give rafe $ 500 ? silas : i do n't know , nina . i 'm just trying to figure this all out . nina : okay , well , here 's the extent of what i know on the subject -- um , rafe came home from the hospital , i saw him , he pushed me over , and he left . we did n't say two words to each other , really . silas : okay . nina : no , it 's not okay . where is this coming from ? i mean , to accuse me of giving your nephew some money and then not telling you about it when you 're in the middle of an investigation -- i do n't -- does that sound like me ? silas : no . nina : this is coming from sam , is n't it ? silas : we discussed it , yes . nina : well , did you tell her that she was crazy -- that , obviously , i do n't know anything about dr. drake 's accident , seeing as i was n't even in port charles at the time ? silas : you 're right . does n't make a lot of sense , does it ? nina : no . why are you grilling me ? silas : i 'm just trying to figure out what happened , nina -- why drake 's son had to die , why rafe had to die . i 'm just trying to make some sense to any of it . nina : i 'm sorry . i understand . i hope you get what you want . is n't that what love is ? wanting the person that you care about to be happy ? wanting them to get what they want ? there 's some things that would make me happy , too . silas : like what ? nina : a baby . sam : things were a little tense between silas and me , and that is putting it mildly . patrick : what happened ? sam : well , we got into a fight over nina , and that is completely unfair of me . patrick : that 's probably not true . you 're a very fair person . sam : yeah , but silas and i are over , and so if he 's spending time with another woman who is his wife , that 's actually none of my business . patrick : yeah , but you still care about him , so if you have legitimate questions about the woman , i think that 's fair to ask . sam : yeah , well , silas did n't think so . and he actually had the nerve to tell me that even though the two of them were sleeping under the same roof , they were n't sleeping in the same bed . [ sighs ] you got to stop me when i go down this road . you have to remind me that i am the one who broke up with silas . patrick : does n't always help . sam : ooh . ouch . patrick : took off my ring today . sam : that hurts . sorry . patrick : yeah , it kind of sucks . sam : it does . patrick : but i feel like it was time . wow . look at us . are n't we a bunch of sad sacks ? sam : kind of depressing , is n't it ? patrick : not for long . we can change that up , right ? sam : how ? patrick : fun . remember that word ? sam : no . vaguely . vaguely . okay , what 'd you have in mind ? patrick : let 's have a game of pool . sam : pool ? patrick : yes . sam : i got to warn you -- i 'm -- i 'm kind of a decent shot . patrick : ooh , `` decent . `` that sounds very impressive . you 're gon na have to prove it . sam : oh , yeah ? it 's on . patrick : it 's on . all right . what do you want ? you want a little eight ball ? you want a little nine ball ? you want one - pocket ? huh ? sam : hey . let 's make it interesting . patrick : i think you 're gon na have to be a little bit more specific . what do you mean by `` interesting `` ? sam : i do n't know . i was thinking maybe a friendly little bet . patrick : okay . sam : what do you say , like , 50 bucks ? patrick : yeah . come on . sam : is that too much ? too little ? patrick : everybody bets money . i do n't want to bet money . sam : says the guy who 's unemployed . patrick : i 'm a doctor . i 'm fine . sam : okay , mr . interesting , what 'd you have in mind ? patrick : all right . give me a second . let me think of it . sam : uh - oh . do n't think too hard . i 'm gon na have to go get us another beer . patrick : okay , i got it . sam : what ? patrick : whoever wins gets to tell the other person to do one thing . sam : anything ? patrick : anything . sam : you 're on . patrick : break it up . sam : you got it . singer : i want you to know yeah , i want you to know i want you to know sam : i think things just got interesting . silas : i 'm sorry -- what did you just say ? nina : you heard me . come on . it 's n a big surprise . i was pregnant with our child . silas : 20 years ago . nina : 20 years ago , yeah , for you . for me , technically , it was 20 years ago , but it seems like just yesterday i was so excited about the news . and my mom ended all that for us . silas : and you still want it ? nina : yeah , ever since i woke up from the coma . silas : why did n't you say anything before ? nina : come on , what am i gon na say ? you were already dealing with so much . silas : you 're not something to deal with . nina : i was n't ? i know that you were glad that i was n't dead . i know that . but you moved on , and you started a new life , and then i show up and turned everything on its head . i mean , that had to be difficult . silas : yes , it was complicated , but you being alive -- you being here -- that -- that 's a good thing . nina : you mean that ? good . because now that you and sam are through , and we 're together , i want a baby . i want a baby desperately . unless you have a problem with that . carly : so , do you guys want to fill me in ? what 's going on here ? franco : well , scotty and i were talking . just wanted to find out if there 's anything i could do to help out with the case . carly : oh , well , i could n't find you . i looked around , and you , like , vanished . you were gone . franco : surprised you noticed . i figured you had sonny there to look after you . sonny : any word on lulu ? olivia : did n't nathan come with you ? dante : no , he 's at g.h . , following up with that scribner guy . i got to talk to the commissioner . sonny : anna 's not here . dante : [ sighs ] what are you talking about ? where is she ? sonny : i do n't know . i do n't know , dante . i 'm sorry . olivia : how are you holding up ? dante : well , you know what ? i 'd be doing a lot better if i could talk to my boss . see , we have this lead that could really give us some insight into what levi 's gotten involved in , but we ca n't figure out what it means , and the sooner we do that , we can bring lulu home . sonny : have you tried calling anna or what ? dante : no , because i thought -- i thought she would just be here . olivia : is there anything that we can do to help ? sonny : we can do whatever , okay , dante ? you okay ? dante : she 's been gone 24 hours , so every second that ticks by means she 's getting further away . i got to get out of here . i got to find her . olivia : honey , wait . you 're not going anywhere . anna : ooh . that is really strange . mac : what ? anna : well , i just got informed by the wsb that my clearance no longer includes access to frisco 's whereabouts . felicia : what is going on with that place ? anna : i do n't know why i 'm surprised , really . robert and i were aware that there 's some odd things going on at the upper levels . mac : of the wsb ? anna : yeah . there 's been the change in protocol , agents being denied access to sensitive information . nathan : what does this mean ? anna : well , i - i - i do n't know . robert is investigating ... from wisconsin , of all places . nathan : is there something we can do on our end ? anna : i 'm the only one with connections to the bureau . i mean , if i ca n't make them cooperate , i honestly do n't know who can . mac : maybe we ca n't find frisco because he does n't want to be found . anna : would you care to elaborate on that ? mac : i have a theory on what happened to maxie and lulu . nathan : i will take any theory i can get . anna : let 's hear it . mac : maybe frisco is behind it . felicia : maxie is his daughter , mac . mac : who he never sees . felicia : yes , that 's true , but he would never jeopardize her life . for all of his faults , he loves her . he would n't do something like this over that jewelry . mac : are you sure ? back when you first met frisco , was n't he in possession of the aztec ring , and you had to steal it away from him ? felicia : god . history does n't get any more ancient than that . frisco did n't even know what he had , and when he found out , he turned right around to help me . nathan : help you do what ? felicia : find the rest of the jewels . nathan : so frisco is pretty involved in this whole business ? felicia : not you , now . do n't you say you 're giving credence to mac 's theory . mac : felicia , do n't you think it 's just a little too coincidental ? now that someone is on the hunt for the aztec treasure , frisco is suddenly unreachable . felicia : what i think is , mac , this is beneath you . i know there are plenty of reasons to dislike frisco , but this is n't one of them . if he knew what was going on with maxie , he would be just as concerned as we are . anna : ooh , doctor . how 's scribner ? doctor : stable . he 's being prepped for surgery now . anna : is he awake ? doctor : for the moment . anna : okay , i need to speak to him . olivia : when was the last time you slept ? dante : i napped on a couch at some point . olivia : honey , that 's not good enough . you need to sleep for real . dante : no ! i do n't have time to do that , okay ? lulu needs me right now . olivia : so does your son . dante : well , he 's -- he 's with the sitter . olivia : yeah , i checked in . he 's out like a light . he 's fine . sonny : okay . dante : well , i guess i -- sonny : listen to me . dante : fine . i will -- i will -- yes , i need to go there and spend some time with him . sonny : okay , i 'm gon na be here , okay ? if you need me , i 'll take care of things . i 'm gon na wait -- i 'm gon na wait here . dante : you 're gon na call me , right , no matter what the time ? sonny : you got it . dante : thanks . well , let 's go . carly : yeah , i was talking to sonny ... and olivia , bringing them up to speed on what 's going on with their daughter - in - law . franco : right . sorry . i 'm just a little on edge . scott : completely understandable . [ cell phone rings ] scott : oh , i got to take this call and get back to work . yeah , d.a . baldwin here . franco : hey . hey , d.a . baldwin . we 're not finished . scott : hold on , please . yeah , we are . you 're grasping at straws . hello ? yeah . silas : you want a baby ? nina : yes . silas : there 's a lot of things to consider with that . i mean , do you even -- do you even know if -- nina : if i can get pregnant ? silas : mm - hmm . nina : no . but if ava jerome can get pregnant , why ca n't i ? silas : you were in a coma for almost two decades . i 'm sure your doctors explained to you what kind of toll that takes on your body . nina : i mean , listen , i 'm not living in a dream . i know that . i know it 's possible that i ca n't have a child . but even if i ca n't , i still ... silas : what ? nina : i still want to make love to my husband . singer : monday , woke up a sad morn tuesday , ca n't find my way back home tell my old life goodbye tell this second chance hello ask me , baby , i 'll tell you anything that you want to know if i get to remember guess i 'll have to let it go unh - unh , unh - unh no way sam : boo - yah . one more , and i win . patrick : yeah , yeah . pipe down , there , kitty cat . all right . see what you got . sam : ahh . picked up the `` times , `` i read my horoscope patrick : what 'd you say about one more shot , and you win ? sam : just take the shot already . patrick : just keep it down there , sammy , baby . sam : [ coughing ] patrick : you seem to forget how focused i am . i 'm like miyagi over here . sam : oh , you mean like mr. miyagi ? patrick : `` wax on , wax off . `` sam : uh - huh . patrick : ready ? sam : wait ! ohh ! so much for focus . patrick : you still got to get that in . look at that . silver platter for you . sam : silver platter ? what are you talking about ? all right , i got this . patrick : ooh , ooh , wait . sam : what ? patrick : you 're gon na shoot that ? you 're gon na hit it in ? are you kidding ? you got lucky . that was lucky . sam : do not be a sore loser . patrick : okay . fair enough . fair enough . great game . i 'm at your mercy . what is it you want me to do ? nina : ever since you broke up with sam -- really , ever since i came back , we 've been sort of living in this limbo -- me in the bedroom . you on the sofa . how long is that gon na go on ? silas : it 's been a little awkward . nina : yeah , a little . i do n't know . maybe you felt obligated . maybe you still do . but i think that , recently , things have shifted . silas : shifted how ? nina : sometimes , when you look at me , i see the old silas -- the one who liked to kiss the small of my back and the one who liked to blow on my neck because he knew it made me crazy , the one who used to tickle me when i was in a bad mood . silas : it worked every time . nina : i miss it . silas : i miss that , too . nina : do you ? silas : nina , we were good ... before things got bad . we were good . nina : listen , i do n't really know what the future holds , and ... i 'm not an idiot . i mean , i know you 're still getting over sam . but , i mean , if we -- if we do n't try ... silas : hey , hey . nina : i got it . i got it . i got this . just give me a second . um , i 'm good . listen ... my mother tried to break us up , and now we 're back together again . and i 'm your wife , and i 'm alive , and i 'm standing here before you . and ... i want to be with you . i want to be with you . i want to be with my husband . i know that this is n't really much of a striptease . silas : hey . you look beautiful . nina : thank you . i want you , si . here i am , vulnerable in front of you . so take me or reject me , but i ca n't live in this limbo anymore . i ca n't do it . this is all i 've thought of since i opened my eyes . just to feel you , to touch you . i just want to hold you . i want you to hold me . silas . i want to feel you . i want to remember . i want to remember . do n't you want that ? we 've got something that 's greater patrick : like i said , i 'm at your mercy . sam : are you really ? patrick : yes , but remember , these are surgeon 's hands . they are unemployed right now , but i 'd really appreciate if you kept away from the wood chopping and the carpentry and everything . sam : yeah , yeah , but the terms were that the loser , which would be you ... patrick : easy . sam : ... would do anything , and i quote , `` anything , `` that the winner , which would be me , wanted , correct ? patrick : yes . that -- that -- those were the rules . so what is it ? what do you want ? sam : um , i ... want ... you ... to shave . patrick : you what ? sam : yes , i - i just said that . i want you to shave . i want this scruffly little scraggly thing off your face . patrick : mm . okay . when ? sam : i mean , i - i could make you do it right here and right now . patrick : you want me to go into the bathroom of the floating rib and -- what take it off with a steak knife ? sam : [ laughs ] would that be so bad ? patrick : that would be difficult , but , hey , i 'm a fair man , and you won , so if that 's what you want me to do , i can -- sam : stop , stop , stop . i can be gracious in victory . i will actually allow you to shave in the comfort of your own home , or you can go to a barbershop . whatever you want . but the next time i see , this face -- this face of yours -- better be baby - smooth . patrick : baby - smooth ? sam : yeah . the deal was , whatever i want , and i do n't want to see your face like this again . patrick : never again ? i ca n't promise that , but i will get it baby - smooth for you next time i see you . sam : okay . well , to victory . patrick : to victory . one question . sam : what 's that ? patrick : you hustle me ? sam : what do you think ? singer : this could be all we dreamt and more carly : where 's olivia ? sonny : uh , she went home with dante . carly : oh , that 'll be good for him to get some rest and see his son . sonny : yeah , that 's the idea . franco : so , what are you still doing here , then ? sonny : oh , well , i 'm just gon na -- i told dante i 'd wait here just in case there was any news on lulu . you guys are welcome to wait with me . franco : i do n't think that 's such a good idea . carly : no , no , we 're gon na go home . come on . sonny : sleep tight . franco : why do n't you do the right thing and just stay the hell away from my girlfriend ? olivia : it 's hard to believe anything could be wrong in the world when you see that little angel sleeping like that . at least he does n't know what 's going on . dante : he knows his mother 's not here . [ sighs ] mommy 's gon na be home soon , okay , little buddy ? with smiles and her lullabies and her little butterfly kisses . you got daddy 's word on that . anna : mr. scribner . mr. scribner ? i 'm commissioner devane . i 'm here to ask you some questions . do you think you 're capable of answering them ? okay . where did your associate take maxie and lulu ? scribner : i do n't know . anna : you do n't know ? you have no idea ? scribner : uh - huh . anna : what about this ? do you know what this is ? do you know why this man 's face is circled ? scribner : i 've never seen it before . anna : you have n't ? this is frisco jones . his name is frisco jones . does that mean anything to you ? did levi dunkleman ever mention him ? scribner : his name 's ... not levi dunkleman . anna : what ? scribner : it 's an alias . nathan : what 's his real name ? scribner : peter harrell . nathan : who 's peter harrell ? felicia : he was my fiancé . [ next_on ] nikolas : ( to elizabeth ) britt and i were on the verge of sleeping together . britt : ( to lucas and brad ) nikolas ' sister was kidnapped . anna : ( to nathan and dante ) my theory is that the two peter harrells are father and son . levi : ( to maxie and lulu ) lulu is as much a part of this as you are . silas : ( to nina ) what are you doing ? nina : what you deserve ! ( she stabs him )
franco mentions scott 's nightcap with bobbie the other night . scott does n't know what he is talking about . carly tries to keep sonny at arms ' length because she does n't want franco to get suspicious . sonny tells her that she will eventually realize that she is making a mistake and when she does , he will be there . carly finds franco in the interrogation room with scott and comments that he had disappeared . franco says he did n't think it mattered because it appeared that sonny was taking care of her . on his way out , franco tells sonny to stay away from carly .
maxie : okay , i 'm here because you absolutely insisted , but just so you know , i have three different florists to see this afternoon for consults for the corinthos wedding . [ scoffs ] unbelievable . these artistic types are so inconsiderate . it 's maxie ! i will give you the courtesy of waiting two minutes , starting ... dillon : i 'm here ! i 'm here . i 'm here . maxie : you 're late . dillon : i 'm right on time . maxie : which means you 're late . dillon : wait . what ? maxie : i 'm a professional . i run a tight schedule . dillon : doing what ? maxie : well , i explained , but unfortunately , you were too late to hear it . what is it that you want ? dillon : i want you . [ scene_break ] kiki : so , where 's your homicidal girlfriend ? franco : if you 're referring to nina ... kiki : you have more than one homicidal girlfriend ? franco : ... she did not kill your father . kiki : says the guy who 's in jail covering for her . so , where is she ? i thought she 'd be down here with you . franco : she 's at her arraignment . kiki : nina almost killed my sister , and now she killed my dad . why ca n't you see her for what she is ? franco : because when i look at her , all i see is the woman that i love . she 's not the monster you think she is . trust me . i could have done a lot worse -- and have . [ scene_break ] carly : hey . hey . so , guess what . sonny : yeah ? carly : a few loose ends to tie up , and i will officially be ready to marry you next week . sonny : well , you better be , 'cause it 's taking too long already . carly : [ chuckling ] what are you talking about ? i ca n't believe how fast we 've been able to pull this wedding together . sonny : a lot of things , uh , are happening right now that are hard to believe . carly : okay . that sounds ominous . sonny : i just saw ava . [ scene_break ] ava : morgan . morgan : that 's me . and you are ? you look so familiar . you look like , uh , denise demuccio , but you sound like ava jerome . ava : it 's me . i have no idea who you are . you might as well be a perfect stranger to me . [ scene_break ] ric : no . there 's -- there 's nothing for you to worry about , mayor lomax . i am not gon na let my -- my relationship with nina affect my judgment . i 'm not even gon na be involved in prosecuting her case . i 've assigned my best ada on it . well , i want to focus on important things -- julian jerome and his sister , for one . it 's about time that ava jerome paid for the murder of connie falconeri . [ flashback ] ava : you 're so close . ca n't you just taste it ? julian : [ chuckles ] you 're making a lot of assumptions . ava : come on , julian . we can be a team again . all you have to do is send somebody to grab that recording , and we could have it all -- my daughters , our business . we 'll take back everything sonny ever took from us and then some . ric : and by the time i 'm done , there wo n't be anybody left in port charles to prosecute . [ scene_break ] dante : [ clears throat ] yeah , it all tracks , provided there 's no alibi . nathan : there wo n't be . jordan : detectives , uh [ chuckles ] i just heard from mayor lomax . dante : oh , yeah ? oh , did she offer her resources and all of her support to help us put this file on silas clay 's murder away ? jordan : that and , uh , heads are gon na roll if we do n't put this thing to bed pronto . we have three people in custody and no idea who killed dr. clay . dante : actually , we -- we do have a pretty good idea . jordan : excuse me ? dante : we think we found the killer . [ scene_break ] julian : [ sighs ] [ knock on door ] julian : mr. , uh , da -- a word ? ric : madam mayor , uh , i 'm gon na have to let you go . i have a situation i need to deal with . julian : so , i 'm a situation now , am i ? ric : get out , julian . julian : well , that 's rather rude for a public servant . you do n't even know why i 'm here . ric : nor do i want to . it is inappropriate for us to communicate , especially since i 'm overseeing your prosecution . julian : lansing , you need to admit that you are n't prosecuting me out of your obligation to the good people of port charles . you 're doing sonny 's dirty work . [ scene_break ] carly : ava 's in jail , and [ chuckles ] god and a jury of her peers willing , she 's gon na go straight to pentonville , and we never have to hear from her again . why would you ruin your morning by going to see ava ? sonny : out of respect for connie . 'cause it 's been two years since i found her shot on the floor in that office . i know i 've told you , but , you know , i tried to save her and died in my arms -- the whole thing . but now her murder is being brought to justice , and i want ava to know that i 'm gon na see this through until she gets what she deserves . carly : all right . if it brings you closure , i 'm all for it . sonny : you know when i 'm gon na get closure ? when she 's convicted of murder and they throw away the key . now , to hear her talk , she 's got tricks , and she 's gon na use them to beat the system . [ scene_break ] jordan : you cracked the case ? nathan : well , right now , it 's just a theory , but -- dante : a bit more time , we can find all the proof we need to substantiate it . jordan : i can give you a bit more time , sure . but you -- but you got to share with me your version of events . i mean , which one of the people we have downstairs killed dr. clay ? [ scene_break ] kiki : i know that you perjured yourself to cover for nina , even though she 's the one that killed my dad , and that picture on my mom 's phone proves that . franco : no , the only thing that picture proves is that nina was at the scene of the crime after silas was killed . if anything , it proves that ava was there . kiki : are you really trying to deflect blame onto my mother ? she is not the one who killed silas . franco : how do you know ? kiki : because she swore to me that she did n't do it , and i believe her . franco : well , i believe nina . kiki : are you really trying to say that nina 's not capable of this , that she did n't have a reason ? franco : [ chuckles ] no . she 's plenty capable of it , and she had a reason . silas gave her a reason when -- when he kidnapped avery and let her twist in the wind for it . and nina was angry at silas , yes . but not angry enough to commit murder . when i got there , seeing nina with silas -- she was destroyed . kiki : with the knife in her hand ? franco : she was pulling the knife out of silas ' back , because she was trying to save him . but she was too late . kiki : is that what she told you ? franco : she did n't do it . kiki : neither did my mother . so , who did ? [ scene_break ] ava : morgan , you have every right to question me . morgan : oh , well , i 'm glad you think so . ava : but if you look -- if you really look , you 'll see that i 'm the same person i 've always been . morgan : that the same person that killed connie ? ava : that 's not who i really am , and you know it . morgan : well , you know what ? the ava i knew would n't lie to me , make me think she was dead . she would n't be that cruel , not to me . ava : morgan ... morgan : i thought i mattered to you , ava . it turns out i was just an instrument . you played me like you played everybody else . ava : i never wanted to hurt you . morgan : you know what ? you did , though . you did as soon as you started pretending to be denise . i fell for you the moment i saw you . it tore me up inside , and what did you do ? you sat back and you laughed at what a fool i was for believing your -- your little act ? ava : no . that 's not how it was . i loved you . i love you . morgan : if you love me , then why did n't you trust me , ava ? why did you make me think that -- that you were denise ? when you came back here to port charles , why did n't you come back to me , too ? [ scene_break ] jordan : we have three people locked up downstairs in custody -- ava , franco , and nina . who 's the killer ? dante : as it turns out ... nathan : none of the above . [ scene_break ] ric : are you implying that i would misuse the powers of my office in order to further my brother 's -- my brother 's agenda ? julian : implying ? no . i flat - out said it . my sister and i are targets of a malicious prosecution . ric : well , your cases predate my appointment , julian , but i am gon na prosecute them because it is my job . and i have enough evidence to put you away for assault , racketeering , and hijacking of sonny 's trucks . and i also have a recording of your sister , ava , stating that she killed connie falconeri . you and your sister are going to prison . and if that happens to put a smile on my brother 's face in the process , well , so be it . [ scene_break ] carly : ava 's bluffing . the police have the recording where she admits to killing connie . they have what they need to put her away for a very long time , sonny . sonny : ava thought that -- that she 'd found a way around that by masquerading as denise . and she also thought she 'd get into my good graces by being some kind of mother figure to avery . carly : okay , well , that 's not gon na happen , denise or ava -- thank god you knew enough not to let her near that little girl . sonny : well , that 's what i told her , and you know what else i said to her ? i said , `` well , she 's got a new mother now . `` i know . carly : [ chuckles ] sonny : but you know what ? she 's not getting anywhere near my daughter . carly : let 's hope she does n't get anywhere near our son , either . sonny : [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] ava : i wanted to tell you the truth the moment i saw you . morgan : okay . well , why did n't you ? ava : if you knew and did n't tell , you 'd have been complicit . and if you did tell -- morgan : whoa . you think i would do that ? what ? can you not trust me ? ava : how was i supposed to believe you could keep quiet when you failed to before ? i was pregnant with avery , holed up in the brownstone , scared to death , and you told sonny where to find me . i was hiding for my life , and you sent your father to kill me . [ scene_break ] franco : i do n't know what to tell you , kiki . you believe one thing and i believe another . kiki : you wo n't even accept the possibility that nina 's lying to you ? franco : you wo n't accept the possibility ava 's lying to you ? well , then , i guess we 're at an impasse . but if you came here hoping that i would change my mind and retract my confession and implicate nina , i 'm sorry to disappoint you , but i ca n't do that , not even for you . now , is there something else ? kiki : yeah , actually . there is . tell me -- how did you look me in the eye for so long knowing that my mom was still alive ? [ scene_break ] jordan : we have opportunity , we have means , and a very compelling motive . nathan : it makes more sense than the other stories . jordan : yeah . and if you 're right , there 's gon na be big - time fallout for a whole mess of people . but if your allegations are false , then the fault 's on us . dante : that 's why we need your permission to dig around , find additional proof . jordan : commence digging . [ scene_break ] maxie : absolutely no satay chicken ! yes , peanut sauce is yummy , but you do n't know who has an allergy . nothing messy , and nothing that drips . fine . get back to me . [ sighs ] where were we ? dillon : uh , i was -- maxie : oh , that 's right . you want me . and i assume you do n't mean that in a romantic sense , since you 've already met my incredibly hot and supportive boyfriend . besides , i heard you were dating lulu 's cousin valerie , which is great . you can keep her distracted from -- that was rude . dillon : i 'm rude ? all you 've done for the last 15 minutes is interact with your phone . maxie : i am trying to fulfill professional obligations . now , tell me what it is you want or i am leaving . dillon : great . go . maxie : excuse me ? dillon : you just reminded me of all the reasons i do n't want you after all . maxie : [ scoffs ] this is so typical of you , dillon . dillon : what are you talking about ? you 've seen me once in the past eight years . maxie : yeah , exactly , and you have n't changed one bit . in all fairness , you are in much better shape , so whatever fitness regime you 're on is clearly working for you , but otherwise , you 're just as selfish as you used to be . dillon : i 'm selfish ? maxie : yeah . my sister spent all her time chasing after you , helping you with your problems , building up your confidence , and how did you repay her ? by cheating on her with lulu . dillon : oh , you 're gon na lecture me on fidelity ? how many boyfriends have you cheated on ? maxie : that 's my point exactly . i am a total self - saboteur , chronically unfaithful . well , that was until i met nathan . but georgie -- she was different . she was wonderful and compassionate . she deserved somebody who loved her and that would stay faithful . that was supposed to be you . dillon : you 're right . it was . maxie : and then , after you broke her heart , you took off to follow your dreams . you were so wrapped up in your career you could n't even be bothered to come home for her funeral . dillon : okay , you 're right ! i 'm sorry . i am a selfish jerk . i apologize . maxie : i promised myself i was n't even gon na bring it up . dillon : no , i 'm -- i 'm glad you did . i loved georgie . when i ... when i found out she was dead , i did n't know how to deal with it , so i buried myself in my work . i was a coward . and i 'm ashamed . maxie : look , georgie would n't want that , okay ? and she would n't want me tearing into you like this . i actually think she would want us to help each other . so ... what is it that you need from me ? dillon : what do you know about costume design ? [ scene_break ] morgan : you were still pregnant when i told my dad where to find you , okay ? the baby was n't due for weeks . i thought i had time to convince him to let you be . ava : well , you would n't have had to take that chance if you had n't given me up in the first place ! morgan : i know that ! okay ? ! i 've thought about it every day since -- what might have been different if i did n't come clean to my dad . [ scene_break ] sonny : like you said , ava 's going to prison . so , you know , morgan 's over her . you saw how upset he was . he 's not gon na forgive her . carly : i just wish i was as sure as you are . sonny : she slept with him under false pretenses , made him betray kiki . he ca n't get over that . i know morgan . carly : and i just think ava and morgan 's relationship is a lot deeper than we 've been willing to admit . sonny : what are you talking about ? we both know that ava does n't love him . i mean , she 's playing with him . carly : i 'm talking about morgan , sonny . i 'm afraid he 's convinced himself that he 's in love with her . he is vulnerable , and he is isolated . and he 's not listening to us right now . sonny : mm . carly : what if ava gets her claws into him and , this time , she does n't let go ? [ scene_break ] ava : i love you , morgan , but we were n't even together when i disappeared . can you really blame me for wondering if i could trust you when you 'd already betrayed me once ? morgan : is that why you did n't tell me who you were ? 'cause you wanted to pay me back ? ava : no . i told you why i could n't tell you the truth . morgan : i still cared about you . and you knew that . i was falling for you bit by bit ever since you came back into town . i did n't even know it was you . ava : morgan ... do n't delude yourself . you knew it was me the whole time . [ scene_break ] kiki : it was pretty obvious , actually , by your lack of surprise in court , that you already knew that denise was my mom . franco : [ scoffs ] come on . really ? the only surprise in any of this is that anybody ever bought ava 's act . ever . i thought i did a pretty good job in pretending to be convinced . kiki : yeah . you did a great job . except for when you tried to get your dad to stop from going after her on the stand because you knew that he was gon na out her , did n't you ? franco : my dad never gave me a clue to that strategy . if he had , i never would have let him go down that road . and ava would still be denise and nina would never be my bunkmate across the corridor . [ sighs ] kiki : so , you did this for nina ? you lied to me for her ? franco : ava had me under her thumb the minute she showed me that picture . if she had showed that photo to the cops , nina would have been in a lot of trouble . and ava knew that i would do anything to stop that from happening . kiki : so that 's when you found out that denise was really my mom ? after my dad was killed ? franco : it 's hard to say . i mean , timeline 's a little muddy . kiki : stop dodging and answer the question , okay , for once ? how long have you known ? franco : 4th of july . kiki : [ sighs ] why would my mom tell you that almost two months ago ? why would she -- why would she tell anyone ? franco : ava needed me . kiki : why ? what was in that for her ? franco : the evidence that she killed connie falconeri . ava wanted me to get it for her . [ scene_break ] julian : you need to drop the charges against ava and me , and while you 're at it , you should resign from your position altogether . ric : or what ? julian : or i 'm gon na use my media company to assail your credibility and go after everyone that is close to you . ric : so , what , you 're going to , uh -- you 're gon na smear molly 's name in your scandal rag ? [ chuckles ] i ca n't wait to hear how alexis is gon na take that one , julian . [ cell phone rings ] ric : excuse me . you know what , julian ? i , uh -- i like my chances with your headlines , but i - i really have to go now . so , if you would like to continue this conversation , please have your attorney call my assistant , mrs. shipley . all right ? julian : mm - hmm . ric : thank you very much . julian : okay , lansing . where did you hide that recording ? [ scene_break ] dante : yeah . thanks for the quick turnaround . hey , uh , keep a lid on this , all right ? yeah . nathan : well ? dante : everything checks out on my end . nathan : yeah . same here . dante : okay . good . we have everything we need to proceed , then , yeah ? nathan : yeah , i think so . i think we bring the commissioner up to speed , let her know we 're ready to make an arrest . dante : good . ric : hey , nathan . hey , man , uh , how you , uh -- how you holding up , huh ? nathan : i , uh , would be better if my sister was exonerated . ric : yeah , so would i . dante : should n't you be at nina 's arraignment ? ric : yeah , i , uh -- well , i had to assign an ada . i mean , i ca n't very well oversee my own wife 's prosecution , right ? listen , uh , speaking of which , your mother called , and , uh , she asked me about some paperwork that she gave to nina before she was arrested . did she have it on her when she was taken into custody ? nathan : come to think of it , yeah . ric : oh , good . listen , i 'll pass it on to madeline . could you , uh -- could you get that for me ? nathan : no . no , that 's not gon na be possible . but , uh , i think dante has something for you . dante : ric lansing , you 're under arrest for the murder of silas clay . [ scene_break ] dillon : i want the characters , not the clothes , to define the movie . marjorie , the lead , is a beautiful woman . she is effortlessly stylish . she 's -- maxie : stop right there . [ chuckles ] what 's your wardrobe budget ? dillon : close to nonexistent . any extra money is going towards the lighting package . maxie : [ sighs ] then you have a problem . effortlessly stylish -- that 's an expensive look . dillon : no , it 's not . maxie : i 'm sorry . are you telling me about fashion prices ? dillon : she does n't wear couture . marjorie is one of those women who looks amazing in faded jeans and a white t - shirt . maxie : oh , how can you be so naive ? those faded jeans you 're picturing -- they did not come from resale . they 're either ernest sewn or 7 for all mankind , and that shirt -- it 's prada or cartullo . dillon : that is absurd . you can buy faded jeans or a t - shirt at any store in the mall . maxie : you can , but it wo n't be the look that you want . you either need to rethink your budget or rethink effortlessly stylish . dillon : well , i ca n't do either . marjorie 's defining characteristic is her beauty . she is gorgeous without even trying . and i have approximately 93 cents in the wardrobe budget . that 's not changing . maxie : well , then , you came to the right place . i think i have the answers for your problems . [ scene_break ] ric : hey ! what -- what is this ? hazing the new guy ? come on . that 's not funny . nathan : it 's not a joke . ric : what , are you guys out of your minds ? i did n't kill silas clay . we -- we have three suspects in custody , all with histories of violence , all of them proven to be at the scene of the crime . nathan , your own sister was photographed with -- with the murder weapon in her hand . ava jerome took the picture , and then franco was shown to -- to have cleaned up the evidence . nathan : this is true . ric : so , instead of focusing on those suspects , you 're -- you 're gon na try to arrest the da ? dante : no . keep up , ric . the arrest is already in progress . ric : oh , oh , okay . oh , so -- so why do n't you arrest the commissioner , then , and maybe -- maybe the mayor ? and for that , why do n't you arrest all these guys over here ? dante : ric , if we had evidence that implicated everyone here , we 'd do just that . nathan : you see , ric , the thing is , this new evidence that we have only implicates you . [ scene_break ] julian : all right . where is that damn drive ? [ door opens , footsteps approaching ] jordan : what the hell are you doing in here ? [ scene_break ] franco : ava wanted the recording incriminating her in the murder of connie falconeri . kiki : and why did she think you could get it ? is n't it , like , locked up in the police evidence room or something ? franco : well , maybe now , but before i was arrested , before ric took over as da , it was just in my father 's office . kiki : and you did n't need an excuse to go see your father . franco : no . no , i - i could just go visit my father , and then , if he went to a meeting or something , then i could get my hands on the flash drive . and if anybody saw me , then i was just hanging out there , waiting for my dad . kiki : and if it was so easy , why did n't you get it ? franco : 'cause silas showed up before i could get it done . and then we got into it . kiki : so , is that the fight about nina that you guys got into that your dad 's assistant overheard ? franco : silas was gon na confess to kidnapping avery . apparently , he felt guilty letting everybody think that nina had done it . kiki : so , what stopped him ? why did n't my dad confess ? [ scene_break ] sonny : carly , you remember morgan 's state of mind last night ? carly : yes . sonny : he was wrecked . he turned himself inside out for that woman . he cheated on his girlfriend for that woman . to find out she 's a fraud -- he 's not going back from that . carly : it takes one bad impulse , and morgan has had plenty . sonny : his pride took a beating . there 's nothing worse for a man , knowing that the woman got over on him . carly : our son is a fool for that woman , and there are all kinds of things that ava can say to get under his skin again . sonny : like what ? carly : like telling morgan that she did n't just come back to town for kiki and avery but for him , also . she could have disappeared into the sunset , no one the wiser , sonny . but instead , she came back . she risked her freedom , became denise so she 'd have a chance to get morgan and her family back . sonny : do you actually think ava gave morgan a second thought ? carly : no . and it does n't matter . if morgan believes it , that 's the problem . what if ava being outed does n't pull them apart , sonny ? what if it drives them together ? [ scene_break ] morgan : i had no clue that you were n't denise . ava : maybe not consciously , but part of you knew who i was the moment we first kissed . do n't try to tell me otherwise . morgan : i thought you were dead , ava . how could i possibly know that was you ? ava : how about the way i touched you ? my breath on your neck ? the way i bit your lip when we kissed ? there was no learning curve for you and denise because it was you and me all along . you know my body blindfolded , and i know yours just the same . what we had before you turned me over to sonny -- it survived my death . it thrived . it 's as powerful as ever . we can have it again . we just need to reach out and hold on . [ scene_break ] julian : commissioner . jordan : i asked you a question . do you need me to repeat it ? julian : waiting to see the da , obviously . jordan : no , it 's not obvious that someone currently under indictment would be seeing the da without his lawyer . julian : oh . [ chuckles ] yeah , well , actually , i wanted to give the da an opportunity to recuse himself from prosecuting me and my sister before i use the press to declare war on the da and the pcpd 's office for biased practices . jordan : ah . well , how thoughtful of you . julian : yeah . and , uh , do n't worry about me . i do n't mind waiting here to see him . jordan : well , you 'll be waiting a long time . julian : why 's that ? jordan : mr. lansing is indisposed . [ scene_break ] dante : you have the right to remain silent . anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law . you have the right to an attorney . if you can not afford an attorney , one will be provided for you , free of charge . do you understand these rights as i have explained them to you ? [ scene_break ] sonny : it does n't matter whether morgan gives in or not , 'cause ava 's gon na , you know , be in jail till she stands trial for connie , and she 's gon na be found guilty . she 's gon na go to prison for the rest of her life . there 's no future for morgan and ava . carly : okay . all right . maybe you 're right about ava , but morgan 's behavior -- sonny , he 's just so erratic . sonny : we 're gon na -- we 're gon na go there again ? carly : he 's volatile . he 's volatile , he 's impulsive , he 's quick to anger , he 's bursting with energy one minute and -- and he 's withdrawn the next . hey . who does that sound like to you ? sonny : we do n't know positively that he 's bipolar . carly : okay . you know what ? we know there 's a chance . morgan needs to see a doctor , sonny . he needs a diagnosis , and if he 's bipolar , we 'll have to discuss treatment options . and then he 's gon na need to know that he can live a full , happy life , just like you have . sonny : i - i get what you 're saying , carly . i know what it 's like when i 'm not happy . the damage control , you know , everything that i 've done -- i do n't want that for my son . i do n't want him to struggle . i do n't want him to struggle like i did . carly : i know that . but , sonny , you know from your own experience that if morgan is bipolar and we wait , it 's only gon na get worse . we need to do something . [ scene_break ] morgan : it 's not happening for us . it 's impossible . ava : since when has that word described us ? morgan : oh , since you admitted on a recording that you killed connie . you 're going to prison , ava . you 're never getting out . ava : says everyone i ever beat . morgan : [ scoffs ] okay . what do you think would happen if you did get away with it ? you think we would have some big , grand reunion ? i 'm never taking you back , not after what you did . ava : this is just new to you . up until very recently , you thought that i was dead and gone . you just need some time to adjust . morgan : oh , i have what i need -- kiki . ava : i love my daughter . she loves you . you might even love her ... a little . but not like you love me . morgan : oh , stop . stop there -- because what we have is not love . it 's sick , and it hurts people . and what i have with kiki is nothing like that . okay , we 're starting fresh . we 're gon na make it right this time , but that 's only if you do the right thing , and you promise not to tell anyone what happened between us . [ scene_break ] kiki : if my dad went all the way to the da 's office to confess to kidnapping avery , then why did n't he do it ? franco : i saw silas the day that he died , and i told him that you were sleeping with kiki 's boyfriend , and he was very disappointed . and i got the sense somehow that he was gon na come find you and confront you . that 's what happened , right ? he should have known how far you 'd go to shut him up . ava : now would be a good time for you to stop talking . franco : silas left a voicemail for kiki saying that he needed to talk to her about something very important as soon as she got home , and that was a conversation about you , right ? my father was n't there , so there was no one for silas to spill his guts to . he did n't feel like talking to me , so he took off . kiki : well , it 's good to know my dad intended to do the right thing , even if he never got the chance . that explains it . franco : oh , that explains what ? kiki : that last message that my dad left me . he knew he was gon na confess to kidnapping avery , and then he 'd have to explain why , which meant outing my mom . he wanted to tell me first . that 's why he called -- so that he could tell me my mom was still alive . [ sighs ] i can not wait to tell morgan . this has really been eating away at me , not knowing what my dad 's last message was about . franco : yeah , that 's partly right . kiki : what does that mean ? franco : well , there was more to it . there was more to what silas was gon na tell you . [ scene_break ] dillon : so , you 're in ? you 'll be my costume designer ? maxie : [ scoffs ] no . dillon : no ... ? maxie : i will break your budget by the first day of principal photography . dillon : well , i do n't suppose you have a contact in there who sells effortlessly stylish at a discount . maxie : better than that , i have reeves . dillon : who ? maxie : reeves . he 's like a clothes genius . he worked on probably a million crimson photo shoots . dillon : oh , a whole million ? maxie : do n't be snarky . i 'm about to save your butt . dillon : [ chuckles ] maxie : look , there was this photographer 's assistant , and he was doing an independent film . reeves did the wardrobe . trust me when i tell you that budget was less than 93 cents , but reeves -- he made everybody look fabulous . more important , he made them look authentic . and that 's what you want , right ? dillon : that 's exactly what i want . maxie : okay , then let me get in touch with him . i 'll have him check his calendar . he works a lot , but we were really good friends back in the crimson days , so i 'll just tell him that you 're a gifted filmmaker with an amazing creative vision , and you have this project that needs an authentic look , something that supports the story without getting in the way . dillon : yeah , you do n't have to lay it on quite so thick . maxie : what are you talking about ? dillon : calling me gifted and creative . maxie : well , you are . i know this movie is important to you , and i know that georgie would want it to happen , so ... i 'm gon na do my part . now , if you 'll excuse me , i have to go look at wedding flowers . i will let you know when reeves gets back to me . dillon : maxie . thanks . maxie : you 're welcome . dillon : [ chuckles ] [ scene_break ] ric : come on . look . this -- this is absurd . i was brought in to prosecute silas clay 's murder , and now -- now you 're arresting me for it . dante : that 's a good summation . nathan : it 's the shortest da stint ever . dante : you think ? we should fact - check that , probably . ric : you know what ? you two are the ones who are gon na be losing your jobs over this . you 've got one person you 're gon na have standing trial , and you 're gon na have three more in custody for it . dante : we know who killed clay ! ric : it was n't me , okay ? ! i - i did n't do it . i do n't even know the guy . nathan : well , you 're married to his ex - wife , my sister . ric : well , what does that prove ? ! look , we -- we crossed paths a half -- half a dozen times -- that 's all . nathan : well , let 's talk about those times , ric . ric : i do n't want to -- i do n't want to say another thing without my lawyer present . dante : that 's good . that 's good . do n't . do n't . you just listen . you listen to everything we have on you . nathan : you may feel differently about talking when we 're through . [ scene_break ] julian : he 's indisposed ? well , how long is that gon na be ? jordan : as long as it takes . now , i 'm gon na have to ask you to leave . julian : by what authority ? jordan : my badge is n't enough ? julian : [ chuckles ] um , this is a public building . jordan : ah , but it 's not actually a public space anymore . i 'm -- i 'm gon na be closing it up to collect evidence . julian : evidence ? oh . what kind of evidence ? jordan : um , the kind usually associated with an ongoing investigation . now , would you like to become a part of that ? i mean , you can stick around . julian : no . you know what ? if , uh , the da is unavailable , i do n't need to be here any longer . so , if you 'll excuse me , i can see myself out . [ scene_break ] carly : i know this is really hard for you to talk about , but everything about morgan 's behavior -- sonny , it just screams bipolar disorder . and if he is bipolar , we have to get him help before ava takes a bad situation and makes it worse . sonny : how much damage can she do behind bars ? carly : sonny , she can get into his head . she can manipulate his emotions . sonny : i just do n't want to be controlling with our son . i do n't want -- you know , he 's a grown man . carly : it 's about saving morgan from himself . sonny : [ sighs ] carly : if morgan 's bipolar , he can not deal with this on his own . you know that . and i do n't care how old he is . morgan is our kid . i know we talked about waiting till after the trial before we helped morgan , but that could be weeks from now . sonny : you -- you want to postpone the wedding ? is that what you want to do ? carly : i 'm not worried about the wedding . the wedding 's gon na happen when it happens . i 'm worried about our son . he needs us . [ scene_break ] morgan : ava , please do n't push this thing with us . ava : how can i not ? i love you . morgan : i know you love me . does n't matter . ava : it matters to me . touch me . feel my heart beat . tell me that does n't matter . tell me i do n't matter to you . morgan : it ca n't work . do you understand what would happen if we tried ? do you know how that would affect kiki ? [ scene_break ] kiki : what do you mean ? you -- you know what my dad wanted to talk about when he called ? franco : maybe . kiki : well , have n't you left me in the dark long enough ? franco : i did n't want to lie to you . i did n't feel like i had a choice . kiki : [ scoffs ] well , you have a choice now . you can either keep me hanging or you could put an end to all of this pain and uncertainty . franco : okay , but what if what i have to tell you does n't make the pain and uncertainty go away ? what if what i have to tell you makes you hurt even more ? [ scene_break ] morgan : i need you to stop thinking about the two of us , and i need you to start thinking about your daughter , all right ? ava : i think about kiki all the time , all right ? morgan : yeah ? did you think about what would happen to her if she found out we were sleeping together ? ava : i know it would hurt her . but i need you , morgan . i feel the way i feel about you , and i ca n't change it . morgan : i 'm not asking you to change it . i 'm asking you to put your daughter first , same as i am . we got to make a sacrifice for kiki . we got to let each other go . [ scene_break ] kiki : how could you possibly hurt me more than i 've already been hurt ? franco : i think there 's always more suffering to be had . i 'd like to spare you . kiki : do n't make decisions about what 's best for me . i 'm not your daughter , remember ? i 'm your friend , or at least i thought i was . franco : i 'd like to think that you are . kiki : then tell me what i want to know . franco : your mother 's a liar . [ scene_break ] morgan : please , ava . do n't make this worse than it already is . promise me that kiki will never know we 've been sleeping together . ava : so , what ? you move on with my daughter , and you leave me all alone ? is that really what you want ? [ scene_break ] kiki : so , my mom 's a liar . what does that have to do with the reason why my dad called the night he was killed ? franco : ava knew why silas was gon na call you . she knew what he was gon na tell you , and it was n't just that your mother was alive . there was one other thing . kiki : what other thing ? franco : [ sighs ] it 's about morgan . [ next_on ] maxie ( to dillon ) : i have bad news -- really bad news . nina : franco did n't kill silas -- omebody else did . nathan ( to ric ) : cooperate and make this easy -- or not . franco : you deserve the truth . kiki : what truth ? morgan ( to ava ) : do not tell kiki about us . sonny ( to carly ) : i just want to do what 's right by my son .
while the 3 murder suspects remain in custody , kiki goes to confront franco protesting to him that he is enabling nina to get away with killing kiki 's dad . he tells her he knows nina did not do it and reveals all the secrets to her including silas being the one who kidnapped avery and he let nina get wrongfully accused . he also tells kiki all about the secrets her mom has been keeping from everyone and all her schemes by playing denise after committing murder and he tells kiki just about everything except for the fact that her mother slept with morgan . he hesitates because he 's afraid of hurting her although she probes him to reveal the secret he is keeping about her mother and morgan . morgan goes to confront ava about how she 's betrayed him , as well as kiki and he has no reason to trust her or believe she would not kill silas just like she killed connie . yet she wants to see if she can manipulate him into having feelings for her like he once did . he tells ava he loves her daughter and not her .
carly : thanks to jerry , i know how it feels to be held hostage . you 're terrified , you 're constantly wondering whether you 're going to see the people you love again , and you 're willing to do just about anything to see them again . does that sound familiar ? jax : carly , just -- i mean -- carly : i need to know . was irina lying , or did you sleep with her ? jax : i already told you what happened . carly : no , you told me with a gun pointed to your head . just the two of us -- irina 's dead , your life is no longer at stake -- did you sleep with her ? jax : yes . [ scene_break ] sonny : in all the times that we 've known each other , even when we were kids , have i ever deliberately hurt you ? kate : life has turned us into two very different people . sonny : no , no , no , you turned yourself into a different person , and it turns out that you had trevor lansing helping you out . he 's filling your head with so many lies , you do n't know what to believe anymore . kate : well , i -- i know that i 've trusted trevor more than i ever trusted you . [ scene_break ] ric : go back to the city . you 're not welcome here . trevor : are we dispensing with the family niceties ? ric : there never were any . trevor : well , you were never much of a son . ric : yeah , look , you did n't come all this way to tell me what a disappointment i am . you came here to convince me to drop the charges against kate howard . well , you wasted a trip . ms. howard broke the law , and she 's going to be punished accordingly . so why do n't you catch the next flight home , and stay the hell out of my life ? trevor : richard , i have n't taken orders in 20 years . now , you be quiet . listen to me . [ scene_break ] amelia : look who 's here . elizabeth ? hi . lucky : what are you doing ? amelia : she 's your wife , i 'm inviting her over . lucky and i were just going over a few ways to tighten up security around the studio . as sam 's personal bodyguard , it 's his job to make sure she 's safe at all times , even on the set . would you like to join us ? elizabeth : oh , thank you , but i do n't want to interrupt . lucky : why are you here ? [ scene_break ] sam : after months of lying to my face and shutting me out , you show up on my couch , ready to have a heart - to - heart . i think it 's a little too late , jason . i made my choice , you made yours . there is nothing left to say to each other . jason : i found the men from the park . and i know you paid them to threaten elizabeth and my son . [ scene_break ] jax : i 'm sorry . the last thing i ever want to do is hurt you . if there had been another way -- carly : i want to know everything that happened while you were with her , and i mean everything . jax : look , it does n't matter . we 're both safe , we 're on our way home . we do n't need to think about irina or my brother ever again . carly : i need to know , and i want to know what happened . jax : what happened is irina got bored waiting for jerry to show up . so i was beaten and drugged , and i was beaten some more after my repeated escape attempts . carly : when exactly did she convince you to sleep with her ? jax : when she threatened to kill you . carly : you believed her ? jax : the woman faked her own death . she kidnapped me , tortured me , and then she wanted to kill me while my brother watched . so , yeah , i -- i believed her . i believed that she would go after you and the boys . so i cooperated . carly : you managed to perform so well that you left her wanting more . jax : oh – [ scene_break ] sonny : if you say you trust trevor as much as you claim , then you two must be close . what , is he your friend , your lover ? kate : oh -- i already told you , sonny , my relationship with trevor is none of your business . sonny : well , i 'm just trying to figure out what you -- you would see in a man like that . kate : hmm . you mean a caring , thoughtful man who 's been nothing but supportive of me since the day we met ? sonny : no , i mean -- no . i mean cold , unfeeling bastard who thinks that money entitles him to whatever the hell he wants . kate : why do you hate trevor so much ? sonny : because he broke my mother 's heart , ruined her life , and he blamed me for it . is that reason enough for you ? [ scene_break ] trevor : drop all charges against kate howard . let her plead out to a misdemeanor . ric : this is her second offense . trevor : was n't a suggestion , richard . ric : look , i 'm the d.a . you do n't have any authority over me in this case , or any other . trevor : well , you might hold the position , but i 've read all the opinion polls . the people of port charles hold you in less esteem than i do . and i can always call in a couple of favors from the state judiciary committee to take a look at your behavior during your last fiasco . what was it , the -- the murder trial that you tanked ? [ scene_break ] emily : nikolas had to cancel our plans tonight , so i asked elizabeth if she wanted to go out for a drink and catch up . i picked the place , not her . so if i had known that you were going to be here and it was going to be an issue , i would 've suggested another place . lucky : it 's not an issue . enjoy your drinks . amelia : well , that was telling . lucky : what ? amelia : you were so defensive with your wife , almost as if you got caught doing something illicit . why is that , lucky ? are you already cheating on elizabeth with sam or do you just want to ? [ scene_break ] jason : did you honestly think i would n't find out ? sam : those men were paid to scare elizabeth , not hurt her . jason : they pulled a gun . if the cops would 've shown up , who knows what could 've happened . cam and jake could 've been caught in the crossfire . sam : i was there to make sure that did n't happen , jason . so the way i see it , i did you a favor by staging that incident in the park . elizabeth got a wake- up call before it 's too late . so instead of standing here confronting me , you should be thanking me for saving your son from the real danger -- which would be you . [ scene_break ] jax : sleeping with irina was about survival , nothing more . i did n't choose it willingly , and i certainly did n't enjoy it . carly : she did . and loved rubbing my face in it . jax : oh -- would you rather she 'd shot one of us ? carly : oh -- come on . of course not , jax . jax : look , i was desperate to get off that boat and get back home to you . and she threatened michael and morgan , as well , so i did what was necessary to keep my family safe . carly : why did n't you listen to me to begin with ? jax : because i thought i was saving my worthless brother , that 's why . carly : yeah , going after jerry , rescue jerry -- after i told you it was a setup . jax : i know . carly : and he told me that he sent you on a wild - goose chase , and then he admitted that he had lost you , and i was terrified , but i do n't know why , because irina was taking care of you . jax : you really want to go there ? [ carly sighs ] jax : because at least i can say i was forced into cheating . you willingly slept with sonny when you said you loved me -- and you were engaged to me . carly : wow . so the truth comes out . you slept with irina because i slept with sonny ? jax : oh – [ scene_break ] sonny : after mike left us , my mother went to work for trevor as his secretary . they had an affair , she got pregnant . trevor told her that he was going to leave his wife and start a new life with my mother . so he sent us off to his vacation home on martha 's vineyard so my mother could have the baby and would n't cause him any problems at home . but it -- it did n't work out the way he -- he wanted . adela 's voice : oh ! young sonny : mommy ! mommy ! kate : why not ? sonny : my mother fell down the stairs . she had to be hospitalized . trevor 's wife found out about the pregnancy and threatened a -- a bad divorce . kate : so trevor broke it off with your mother and went back to his wife ? sonny : well -- huh -- then he -- what he wanted was my mother to put me up for adoption . because trevor -- the -- the caring , sweet man that he is -- blamed me for my mother 's fall and he wanted me gone . and my mother would n't give me up . kate : so your mother chose you over him ? knowing trevor , that was unforgivable . [ scene_break ] ric : you 've always put your career , reputation -- not to mention your endless string of mistresses -- before your family . i guess it should come as no surprise that kate howard means more to you than your own flesh and blood ever will . trevor : i try to forget that connection when i look at you . ric : oh , right . i was never good enough , right ? not at school , not at sports , definitely not when i decided to follow in your footsteps into law . trevor : richard , you were always a disappointment to me -- and you 're probably even more so as a father . you know the one person that i feel real pity for ? your daughter , molly . ric : yeah , that would be your only granddaughter -- not that you bothered to acknowledge her existence , either . trevor : well , i tried to steer clear of your personal life . although , i understand that you gained sole custody of molly -- only after a lengthy court battle . ric : you keeping tabs on me ? trevor : no . i simply said to my assistant , `` take a couple of hours , find something at we can use . `` so , you drop all charges against kate howard , or i 'm going to see to it that you lose your daughter forever . is that clear enough to you , richard ? [ scene_break ] lucky : you know , my relationship with sam is none of your business . amelia : well , just an observation -- it 's in your best interest to keep that relationship strictly professional . if not , you will have to learn the hard way who sam really is . every man does eventually ; some even live to tell about it . well , i have to get back to the studio to speak to our head of security about the measures you 've presented to safeguard our star . if you 're wise , you 'll go join your wife for a drink . [ scene_break ] emily : hey , are you okay ? elizabeth : mm - hmm . emily : look , i know this is hard , but if you 're going to salvage your marriage , you have to let lucky work through this in his own time , in his own way . elizabeth : what if he ca n't ? what if he is so hurt and angry , there 's just nothing left for us to save ? [ scene_break ] sam : if you think that i am wrong about the danger and you 're willing to risk elizabeth 's life to be with your son , or have one -- or both of them -- shot in your arms , then just say so , jason . i will march down to her right now and tell her i set that whole thing up . you know as well as i do -- you said it yourself . elizabeth and jake -- and do n't forget cameron -- will never be safe with you . jason : you stood by while jake was kidnapped . you hired two men to threaten elizabeth at gunpoint while her children watched . what is wrong with you ? you want revenge ? you want to be angry at somebody ? you be angry at me ! you leave elizabeth -- sam : jason , i gave up everything to be with you ! i was shot because of you ! i can not have kids because of you , and then you go and have one with elizabeth ? jason : you stay away from elizabeth ; do n't go near her children or her again . sam : what , are you threatening me ? jason : if you hurt them -- again -- in any way , i will kill you . [ door opens and closes ] [ scene_break ] carly : i was n't married to you when i slept with sonny , but you were married to me when you slept with irina . jax : i already explained what happened . carly : you slept with another woman multiple times , i only -- it only happened once , okay ? jax : and i regret it , you do n't . you slept with sonny because you wanted to . carly : why are we talking about this ? jax : you 're trying to accuse me of -- of cheating on you when i was forced into it . you slept with sonny because you still have feelings for him , because you wanted to sleep with him . so if anyone should be called a cheater here , it 's you , not me . [ scene_break ] kate : it 's amazing how people can have different perspectives on the same event . sonny : what did trevor tell you about my mother 's fall ? kate : that you were a disturbed and volatile child . [ sonny scoffs ] sonny : i was supposed to be jealous of my mother 's family , so that 's why i pushed my mother down the stairs -- to kill her and my unborn brother . see , i 'm -- i 'm not surprised that trevor would think that . what about you ? kate : you were a rebellious and haunted boy . and now you 're a dangerous man who makes a living through intimidation and fear . sonny : i 'm a coffee importer . kate : sonny -- sonny : what ? kate : i 've seen what you 're capable of firsthand when you threatened jerry jacks . you were cold and deliberate , just as i 'm sure you were when you had trevor brought into your office . sonny : so what is this about -- questioning your boyfriend ? kate : oh -- sonny : what ? i mean , that 's -- that 's what -- kate : you said that you would kill trevor -- would you ? sonny : did he tell you why he 's in port charles ? it 's not for your legal problems . he 's working for a man named anthony zacchara -- he 's a mob boss out of new york city . trevor is in town to try to take away everything that matters to me . [ scene_break ] ric : you know , unlike you , i happen to love being a father , and there 's nothing that i would n't do to protect my daughter . so , if you even think about trying to take molly away from me , i swear to you , you will regret it . trevor : richard , sole custody of molly was granted to you on the grounds the mother was unfit . how long do you think it 's going to take me to find something to get an emergency order of protection against you ? ric : you really are a heartless bastard , you know that ? trevor : thank you . i expect a written order of confirmation that all charges against kate howard are going to be dropped -- first thing in the morning . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : i ca n't believe what a complete mess i 've made of my marriage . emily : all right . wait a second , let 's back up here . you 're not the only one to blame . lucky created his fair share of problems long before you ever slept with jason . elizabeth : i know , but i could 've handled things better . i should 've been honest with lucky from the start -- about everything . i -- i tried so hard to protect him , and i just ended up driving him away . emily : just give him some more time . would n't you rather that he be angry and lash out than turn to pills ? elizabeth : well , pills are n't the only thing he could turn to . [ scene_break ] [ knock on door ] lucky : sam , open the door . lucky : are you all right ? hey -- [ sam sighs ] lucky : hey , it 's okay . you have nothing to be afraid of , i 'm here . [ scene_break ] spinelli : greetings . the jackal trusts that stone cold 's weapon of choice is being returned to the confines of its securely locked box -- cold and unused ? but , clearly , samantha made a gross error in judgment hiring the threatening ones to menace fair elizabeth and your progeny in the park . but , look , i -- look , i just have to believe that it was done out of hurt and anger , and that it 's not -- jason : i know you care about sam . so you need to do everything you can to make sure that she stays as far away from elizabeth and my son as possible . spinelli : and what if samantha chooses not to listen ? [ scene_break ] sam : i 'm so sorry . oh , i 'm so sorry ; i did n't mean to melt down like that . lucky : hey , what happened ? sam : nothing . lucky : nothing ? that does n't look like `` nothing . `` there 's broken glass -- why ? sam : i let my anger get the best of me . you know , there 's so much inside that needs to come out , and when it does , it just causes a lot of damage . i break things , lucky , that ca n't be fixed . lucky : so what set you off tonight ? sam : knowing that i 'm alone . lucky : sam , you 're not alone . you have me . sam : you mean that , do n't you ? lucky : yeah . sam : thank you . thank you , lucky . i mean , i just -- i feel so much safer knowing that i have you . [ scene_break ] spinelli : the jackal will use his considerable pull as samantha 's friend and former roommate to urge her to abandon thoughts of retribution against fair elizabeth . and in the meantime , while i 'm brokering the peace , you can inform the maternal one that she and her sons were never in any real danger . jason : i 'm not going to say anything to elizabeth . spinelli : why not ? stone cold , if -- if elizabeth learns the truth , she 'll no doubt be more comfortable allowing contact between you and baby jacob martin . jason : it does n't matter . i 'm not going to be seeing them again . [ scene_break ] kate : trevor lansing has been a friend of mine for years and he `` is `` in port charles to straighten out my legal troubles . sonny : well , that may be what trevor 's telling you , but my contacts in the city tell me that anthony zacchara has been trevor 's client for years , and now that alcazar is out of the picture , zacchara is going to try to make his move in this territory . so , trevor 's using you as a cover . he comes to town , right , checks everything out , then he reports back to his boss . kate : he does n't have a boss . sonny : he -- kate : he 's never mentioned the name zacchara in my presence . you know what ? i 'm not -- i 'm not going to try to -- sonny : oh ? kate : change your mind , okay ? right now , i need trevor 's assistance , and i fully intend to accept whatever help he can provide . sonny : really ? kate : yeah . sonny : uh - huh . okay . okay , forget what -- how i feel about the man and all that stuff , okay ? i just do n't want you to get hurt , and you will get hurt if you 're caught in the middle . kate : this is n't the first time that i 've counted on trevor , and he 's always come through for me in the past . sonny : in return for what , exactly ? kate : okay , this conversation is finished . sonny : okay . kate : now , if you do n't mind , it 's getting late , and i would really like to get to bed . sonny : you 're too good for this man . just do n't -- do n't forget that , okay ? kate : good night , sonny . sonny : yeah , well – [ scene_break ] diane : now , do n't misunderstand me , max -- i have nothing but admiration for kate howard as an arbiter of fashion . but i think she 's a fool to get personally involved with sonny . a woman of her stature can not afford to be associated with an alleged racketeer -- although , i 'm not complaining . if sonny did n't have me defending kate on the reckless driving charge , i would n't be getting my designer original . max : yeah , well , it 's probably a good thing ms. howard 's legal problems happened when they did . diane : i 'm hoping for a neela lorente -- something classic but chic . max : ms. howard facing , you know , jail time , the boss has n't had time to question me about mrs. c or what she 's been up to or -- diane : of course , i would not say no to a little cartullo cocktail number . [ diane chuckles ] max : or who she 's been with . diane : something stylish and flirty , but not too forced . max : not that i know anything about what carly 's been up to or , you know , what she 's been doing . diane : definitely slinky -- gin -- and preferably backless . [ max sighs ] diane : what were you saying about carly ? max : carly ? diane : yes . you were just saying something about her whereabouts ? max : i did ? diane : where is she this time ? max : oh , i do n't know . i do n't work for mrs. c anymore . i do n't know where she is or who she spends her time with these things . diane : oh , max , max , max . do n't deny it -- it 's as plain on your face as the mustard on your tie . max : what 's that ? oh , man -- this is new ! diane : and it 's lovely . it really brings out your eyes . where 's carly ? max : you know , i 'm going to tell you something my uncle carmine used to tell me -- `` ask me no questions and i 'll tell you no lies . `` [ diane chuckles ] [ scene_break ] carly : i can not believe that you are turning this back around on me . you were the one who left one month after we were married to save your brother , who did n't need saving . when i got back from begging you not to leave , jerry was sitting on my couch . i ca n't believe how gullible you are when it comes to your brother . jax : yes , i 'm an idiot when it comes to my brother , okay ? but the point is i did n't willingly sleep with irina . you willingly slept with sonny , okay ? that 's the point . carly : okay , i was held hostage for hours by your psychotic brother ! jax : you know what ? i 've already heard this story a million times . we 're just getting petty , okay ? this is just -- this is stupid . i 'm alive , you 're alive , that 's all that really matters , right ? carly : yeah , but you told me you were over this -- or , i thought you 'd made peace with it , but now you 're throwing it back up in my face again – [ scene_break ] [ diane laughs ] max : yep , here it is , got it . diane : did you find it for me ? max : oh , yeah , it 's right here . diane : thank you , max . max : yeah -- ahem . diane : thank you so much . max : there it is , diane . diane : well , how did it go with kate howard ? any word on my dress ? because i 'm thinking , as long as the editor in chief of `` couture `` magazine is personally handling the arrangements , i might be able to pick up a few odds and ends -- sonny : i do n't want you working on kate 's case anymore . diane : what about my dress ? sonny : she 's sleeping with anthony zacchara 's attorney , which happens to be ric 's father , and that is more important than your damn dress . max : i 'm sorry , boss , that 's tough to take . diane : yes , it 's devastating . how can you possibly break up with kate howard before i have received my designer created - and - fitted original ? sonny : diane , did you not hear what i just said ? diane : yes , yes , yes -- anthony zacchara ! now , you hear me . mob rivals come and go -- just look at lorenzo alcazar -- but this is fashion ! sonny : you are lucky you 're the best damn lawyer i ever had , because sometimes , diane , you drive me crazy . [ scene_break ] trevor : i just had a conversation with richard , and he has agreed to drop all the charges against you . kate : trevor , you have been in town for only a few hours . how did you manage to convince him so quickly ? trevor : well , even as a child , he could n't stand his ground . tonight was no exception . let 's celebrate . kate : thank you . trevor : i 'm glad i could help you . kate : you always do . trevor : katie , do you remember when we first met ? you were so young and vibrant , and you knew exactly what you wanted -- you just did n't know how to get it . kate : and there you were . i 'll never be able to thank you for all that you 've done for me -- then and now . trevor : you can do a little better than that .

[ sam sighs ] spinelli : how are you doing ? sam : not well . uh - uh . spinelli : the jackal sympathizes with your pain . i mean , i know -- unfortunately , better than most -- how -- how harsh it is to face the reality of losing the one you love . sam : oh , come on , no . i am not upset about breaking up with jason . spinelli : well , then why does the fair one appear melancholy ? sam : just because you spend years of your life with someone you love who never really loved you , i -- spinelli : no , no , no . no , that 's not true . stone cold had the utmost -- sam : `` stone cold . `` `` stone cold `` -- now , there is a nickname that is literally dead - on . jason does n't know how to love , and he will turn on anyone that gets in his way . [ scene_break ] [ jason sighs ] [ knock on door ] jason : what do you want ? amelia : i thought you should know -- sam hired lucky spencer to be her personal bodyguard . it seems she is very concerned for her personal safety , now that the two of you are no longer together . i give it a week -- maybe two -- before she gets lucky into bed . jason : why are you telling me this ? amelia : elizabeth is going to need someone to console her , and since the two of you already share a son , you 're the obvious choice . and , yes , my primary interest is to watch sam choke on her jealousy and frustration , while she sleeps with second - best , and the man that got away lives happily ever after . it 's what we in the business refer to as a `` hollywood ending , `` and it 's exactly what sam deserves . [ scene_break ] carly : no -- jax : whoa , whoa , whoa , whoa . what 's wrong ? hey . carly : `` what 's wrong ? `` jax : yeah , what 's wrong ? carly : you slept with irina . there 's no telling what disgusting diseases you picked up from her . jax : believe it or not , we actually used protect -- carly : i do n't want to -- hmm . there is no sex whatsoever until you get a clean bill of health . jax : okay . fair enough . i suppose kissing is out of the question , too , then ? [ scene_break ] diane : how could you do this to me ? i have bent the law and broken my back defending you and jason time and time again . finally , something good has come of it , and now you want to take it away ? max : it 's a dress . i mean -- diane : it 's couture ! do you have any word that describes that in man - speak ? max : easy . diane : any -- any translation for the yearning of feeling a designer original draped over your body ? i was this close to owning a neela lorente , and now you have to blow it all by breaking up with kate howard ahead of schedule . sonny : that 's not what happened , diane , so you pay attention . i need you to pull trevor lansing 's legal record , even before ric was born . i want to know when his father started working for anthony zacchara . i want to know about every case that he 's tried . you dig up whatever you can . diane : it 's getting late . sonny : well , charge me double . diane : i 'm charging you one designer original . sonny : diane ! forget the dress . i need you focused . things are going to get ugly , and i got to do whatever i can to make sure kate does not get caught in the middle .

get up ! jerry : your daughter is safe , and you were supposed to be , too . jax : tell me that this is all a bluff , a diversion , that you 're really after something else , that you did n't really poison the water supply . jerry : i 'm sorry , little brother . that 's exactly what i 've done . ewen : elizabeth , wait ! wait ! jason is wrong ! patrick : hey , let her go ! ewen : patrick . look , you have to understand . i was n't -- i was n't trying to hurt elizabeth . i was simply trying to explain -- elizabeth : explain what ? ewen : that i absolutely had no connection with jerry jacks threatening the city . you believe me ... right ? carly : johnny , it 's me . um , i do n't know if you have heard the news or seen any television , but please call me the second you -- [ banging on door ] carly : this is you . i know it 's you . okay . thank god that you 're -- todd : `` not johnny . `` that 's what you 're thinking . carly : [ sighs ] todd : did you see the guy on the tv ? carly : yes . that 's my brother - in - law , jerry jacks . todd : okay , not the name that he gave me when i sold him access to my cable franchise . jerry : everyone in port charles has been exposed to the pathogen . jax : why would you do this ? ! jerry : [ chuckles ] you know me , jax . always up for a challenge . jax : no , that 's not it . you 're desperate . you have to be . mcbain : maybe explain to your brother that things are gon na end badly for him . jason : jerry only speaks one language . you poisoned the city . how you gon na undo it ? todd : he told me his name was james craig . carly : [ sighs ] that 's the name he used when he held this hotel hostage . todd : how was i supposed to know that ? it 's not like we have a secret handshake at psychotics anonymous . carly : you 're not psycho . as far as i know , you 've never threatened an entire town . todd : well , this time , maybe i kind of did . carly : he contaminated the water last night . by the time he got to you , it was already done . todd : you really think he was serious ? you think he put a pathogen in the water . carly : this is jerry jacks . he is capable of anything . jax is trying to figure out what he 's doing now . todd : right . jax . your perfect not - so - quite ex - husband . carly : well , you know what ? thank god they 're related , because that 's the only reason jerry 's decided to protect my daughter . not that that helps my other children . todd : or mine . starr : well , i hope we have better luck today than we did last night . michael : yeah . vegas is a big place . it 's not like we can go door - to - door looking for them . starr : well , let 's just hope that kristina and trey are n't doing anything too crazy . michael : yeah , like ... climbing out of a window and flying down here in the first place . starr : okay , we 'll admit that that is a little crazy . i have n't known your sister for too long , but she does seem like the rebellious type . and she did drop out of college to star in a reality show . maybe she just wanted to blow off some steam , away from your dad and her mom . michael : yeah , and with trey , who told you that his dad has a history with mine and some reason that he might want to get back at him . starr : okay , well , that does n't mean that he 's going to hurt kristina . michael : the thing is , we do n't know anything about trey except for that his dad 's a criminal . starr : that does n't mean that trey is one ! if anyone should understand , it 's us . you did n't follow in your dad 's footsteps . michael : yeah , but i never tried to hide who my dad is or what he does . so what is trey hiding ? why did n't he just tell us the truth about his dad ? joe jr. : connie . kate : kate . joe jr. : apologies . old habits . kate : sonny told me you were in town . did n't realize you had the gall to stay at my hotel . joe jr. : oh , you know i always like nice things . if you did n't know i was here , why 'd you come to my room ? kate : because i 'm notifying all the guests of the health hazard . joe jr. : yeah , i saw jerry jacks ' pre conference . if the water 's already contaminated , it 's a little late to be handing these out , is n't it ? kate : mm . well , for the record , i hope you drank a bucket of it . joe jr. : [ laughs ] kate : do n't let me keep you . i 'm sure you want to spend your last moments with the woman you love . joe jr. : excuse me ? woman ? kate : whoever you were on the phone with . you sounded almost human . who is she , your wife ? trey : so , we do n't need any audio on the preliminary stuff . just get some beauty shots , glamour shots , and we 'll do some narration underneath later on . but , uh , look , listen this time . try to show a little sensitivity to the bride . do n't jam the camera in her face , all right ? all right . you got it . trey : all right . you look beautiful . kristina : [ chuckles ] thank you . trey : yeah . kristina : you know , you 're right . they have some really great boutiques here . trey : i told you . you got the perfect dress . kristina : i just want to make the producers happy . you know , so they 'll recoup their investment on `` mob princess `` so your dad can pay all his legal bills . trey : [ chuckles ] my dad 's everything i have , kris . i ca n't tell you how grateful i am . kristina : stop . it 's not every day you get married on a tv show . be a good story to tell the grandkids . trey : mm - hmm . kristina : my grandkids . uh ... that i 'll have much later than this when i get really married , for real . that should n't be a problem , right ? i mean , the marriage is gon na be annulled so fast , my dad wo n't have a chance to freak out . sonny : dante . jerry jacks was willing to blow up a hotel . he 'd have no problem poisoning the whole town . dante : yeah , well , look , the cdc 's testing the reservoir . if this is real , there 's no telling what jerry put in the water or how to stop this . sonny : i 'll question jerry . i know -- but i know you 're gon na turn me down , right ? dante : look , like i said , john mcbain already has jerry . let 's just hope he can get some answers . sonny : people outside are already starting to panic . dante : i have every available uniform out on the street . sonny : yeah . but you know what ? um , i can get my guys out to a local market , right , and just -- no , to keep order . dante : sonny , it 's not like -- thank you -- not like i do n't appreciate the offer , okay . but i ca n't exactly deputize you guys to be out on the street . it way exceeds my authority , and the mayor would never go for that . sonny : okay , listen to me . if things start to deteriorate and you change your mind , the offer still stands . dante : that 's good to know if it comes to that . ewen : elizabeth ... tell him . patrick : why would elizabeth think you were involved with jerry jacks ? ewen : jason morgan . he put the idea in her head . patrick : why would jason do that ? ewen : you were the one who told me to watch out for him , that he demands ongoing devotion from every woman he has ever been involved with , including your own wife . the way you bust in just now -- almost like you were expecting a scene . and then when you saw us -- how would you believe i would hurt elizabeth ? ! jason : i need you to check on elizabeth , okay , and warn her to stay away from dr. keenan . ewen : now tell me , did jason get to you , too ? jerry : [ grunts ] mcbain : here 's the thing . we kill him , if he dies ... we 're kind of screwed . jax : so , this is why you faked your own death , so you could plan everyone else 's ? jerry : oh , i can assure you , i was shot and fell in the water . bloody freezing , you know . i can assure you . i did n't think i 'd survive . jax : yet here you are , threatening everyone i love . jerry : not your daughter . have you forgotten -- jax : you kidnapped her in the middle of the night , jerry ! jerry : to save her . or would you like her to suffer -- jax : why are you doing this ? ! what do you want ? jerry : well , i was about to explain myself when i was rudely interrupted , and now i 'm afraid that everyone 's gon na have to be very patient . sonny : you know this is personal for me , 'cause i was there when jerry jacks held the metro court hostage . so whatever i can do so nobody else gets hurt ... dante : look , i apprec -- sonny : what ? dante : i 'm just saying i appreciate it . really , i do . but i ca n't have you taking matters into your own hands . sonny : i got to protect people . and not only from jerry jacks . dante : who else are we talking about here ? sonny : joe scully jr . dante : the guy who killed mcbain 's sister ? sonny : he also attacked kate when she was a teenager . scum like that should be locked up for life . instead , he 's walking the streets . i do n't know what he 's got planned . joe jr. : for the record , i was n't speaking to my wife . i ca n't express my feelings to people close to me ? kate : your fellow mobsters ? joe jr. : ah ! i 'm a private citizen . kate : [ scoffs ] look , joe , if you came to port charles to torture sonny and me , i guess the joke 's on you . joe jr. : mm . kate : your charges may have been dropped , but it looks like you 're getting a death sentence , anyway . joe jr. : [ chuckles ] you know , a night at your hotel can be fatal . i can see why people flock to stay here . kate : you know , you do n't seem like a man who 's about to die . joe jr. : well , maybe that 's because i have no intention of it . mcbain : i do n't have time for this . maybe you 'll feel like talking down at the station . on your feet . jerry : before or after the waterboarding ? mcbain : waterboarding ? we do n't do that anymore . we got all new stuff . jerry : are you sincerely gon na let them torture your brother ? jax : you did this to yourself , jerry . jerry : i know i 'm a disappointment , but you used to look up to me . thought i was capable of anything . jax : well , you 've certainly proved that , have n't you ? jerry : do n't give me too much credit . i had a little help with this project . jason : you and keenan ? ewen : did jason convince you that i was part of this , that i was somehow connected to jerry jacks ? patrick : we all saw jerry on tv . i came to check on elizabeth . when i walked in and saw your hands on her , maybe i overreacted . ewen : because of jerry 's broadcast ? elizabeth : you never answered me . just now , when we saw jerry on tv , you said you never thought he would go that far . ewen : i told you . i was familiar with the jacks family from what i read about them . but , you know , jerry 's always seemed a bit off . you saw it yourself . you know , when he held those people hostage , i mean ... now he 's endangering a whole city . to save one woman and one child only to threaten the lives of everyone else . carly : okay , well , morgan 's fine . i got to get in touch with michael . todd : i 'm calling starr . starr : this couch could not have been comfortable to sleep on . michael : [ groans ] i slept great . starr : oh , you did ? michael : yes . starr : is that why you were up so early , watching me sleep ? michael : i was still on port charles time . starr : oh , nice try . thank you for being a gentleman , though . michael : my pleasure . [ cell phones ringing ] starr : oh . it 's my dad . michael : and my mom . starr : dad ? todd : shorty . where are you ? starr : you know , uh , away . michael : uh , w - what do you mean , mom ? why would something be going on ? carly : they have no idea what 's going on . todd : do n't think starr knows , either . uh , when you say `` away , `` where are you ? michael : las vegas . todd : las vegas , nevada ? starr , what are you doing in las vegas ? carly : are you with starr ? starr : uh , i - i 'm with michael , but i - i promise it 's not -- it 's not what you think . todd : you know what ? i - i 'm glad you 're there . i think you should go hit the tables . i think you should play ... starr : you what ? todd : uh , blackjack and -- and roulette . hey -- hey , you know what ? if you do n't play , you ca n't win . starr : okay , this is officially the weirdest conversation i 've ever had with you . michael : okay . i 'll play the numbers . um , i 'll call you in a couple days , okay ? starr : uh , yeah . love you , too . bye . michael : love you . bye . carly : bye , baby . i love you . michael : [ clears throat ] my mom just told me to play her birthday numbers . starr : no , no , no . get this . my dad just told me to have a good time . did someone slip something in his drink ? carly : think we should tell them what 's going on ? todd : no . the less they know , the better . michael : do you think we , uh , should have told them about trey and kristina ? starr : yeah , i - i do n't know . i 'm worried for your dad to find out about it . and i know that you ca n't stand trey , but i still think that this could all be innocent , and i do n't want your dad going into protective mode . michael : is that a polite euphemism for breaking his kneecaps ? starr : okay , do n't sound too excited by the visual of that . michael : mm . well , you 're right , though . i should n't tell my dad about this . at least , not until i know what trey and kristina are really doing here . trey : nervous ? kristina : a little . okay . a lot . [ chuckles ] i mean , i know this is just a stunt for mob princess , but it 's ... it 's the first time i ever got married . trey : me too .

[ sighs ] trey and kristina might be . starr : what are you talking about ? they just started dating . michael : think about it . why else was trey so desperate to get kristina to vegas that he snuck her out of a window ? i think trey is gon na try and marry my sister . look , just start dialing . starr : what , every wedding chapel in vegas ? michael : find one that has a camera crew setting up at an altar . you know trey is gon na want to film this for his dumb reality show . rev . love : so , tell me , did , uh , you two bring a companion on this , your sojourn into marriage ? a witness . trey : oh , uh , we brought the cameraman . can -- can he witness and shoot at the same time ? rev . love : well , that might be a bit problematic . but not to worry , though . i 'm sure that mrs. love would be more than happy to oblige . uh , esther ? darling . esther : yes . rev . love : this young couple needs an escort on their way to everlasting joy . esther : oh , my . do n't you make a lovely bride . kristina : thank you . esther : oh , no need to be embarrassed , honey . a woman in love has that certain glow . rev . love : and esther should know what she 's talking about . she 's been lighting up rooms for the past 50 years . esther : 50 . trey : 50 ? wow . rev . love : yes . we are celebrating our golden anniversary . esther : mm - hmm . rev . love : we got married right here in vegas , actually . not much older than you two , as a matter of fact . esther : june 16 , 1962 . it was a magical night . rev . love : yes . we went to see frank sinatra at the sands . esther : oh , yeah . rev . love : old blue eyes was up there singing `` bewitched , bothered , and bewildered . `` esther : ooh . rev . love : [ chuckles ] that was it . we ran right down the road and got married at the first chapel we found . we liked it so much that we bought the place and have been running it ever since . esther : mm - hmm . we hit the jackpot , honey -- luck and love . and we want to pay it forward . although of the two , now , love is the one that lasts , the one you build your life on . rev . love : look at us , preaching to the choir .

[ sighs ] jerry : is this really necessary ? i wo n't be able to go anywhere after jason 's friendly greeting . mcbain : do you understand your rights as they 've been explained to you ? jerry : would it be too much to ask to retain alexis davis for her services ? jax : she 's still recovering from the shot you gave her . mcbain : get him out of here . jerry : well , ask her , nevertheless . thank you . jax : why 'd you ask about ewen keenan ? jason : do you know him ? jax : uh , just sounds familiar . starr : kristina davis and trey mitchell . she has long brown hair , very pretty . he is good - looking with short brown hair . michael : can you tell me who you referred them to ? starr : well , they would have brought a camera crew . okay . thank you . michael : did you -- do you have an address by any chance ? okay . all right . all right , thank you very much . this is a big help . and , look , if i ever get married in the future , you 're the first place i 'm gon na call . starr : you got something ? michael : yeah . uh , trey tried to book a wedding . when he tried to bring his own camera crew , they did n't let him , so they sent him to another chapel . starr : how long ago was this ? michael : a couple hours . come on . we got to stop this before that tool marries my sister . starr : okay . esther : there . kristina : thank you . esther : oh , baby , those butterflies you 're feeling -- they will disappear as soon as you kiss your new husband . okay .

todd : yeah . carly : because jerry , who held this place hostage -- todd : he put a pathogen in the water ? let 's think about this for a second . he -- he what ? he 's gon na kill everybody in a small town in upstate new york that only a couple million people in this world have ever even heard of ? why ? what would that get him ? carly : so you think he 's trying to scare us into giving him what he wants . todd : carly , i think everything 's gon na be okay . i do . you do n't need to worry . this guy jerry , he 's an amateur . let me tell you something . when i held my hometown hostage , i used dynamite . you know why ?

dante : not at all . let 's go . jax : who 's this keenan guy ? why do you think he has anything to do with this ? jason : [ sighs ] dr. keenan is a psychiatrist who 's working at general hospital right now . originally , he 's from australia . jax : well , that 's a pretty big country . jason : yeah , just to catch you up , we think that alexis was injected out at wyndemere , and i went out there to check it out , and dr. keenan shows up . so i did a background check . turns out he moved to port charles after spending a lot of time in alaska . jax : just like jerry and me . patrick : jason came to me at the hospital . he wanted to ask me a question about when jerry poisoned nikolas . he thinks there 's a connection between what happened to alexis and josslyn . elizabeth : okay . so why involve ewen ? patrick : i have no idea about that part . elizabeth : up until this point , ewen has never given me a reason to doubt him . and i know he cares about his patients . he would never want to hurt them . patrick : i know this does n't make any sense at all , but you do think that he 's suspicious , right ? elizabeth : he said something about not knowing that jerry would ever go this far . patrick : which means that they 're working together . elizabeth : but why ? why would ewen ever want to work with someone like jerry jacks ? rev . love : and now to symbolize your everlasting joy , the bride and groom will exchange rings . do you have the rings ? kristina : we were so excited , we did n't have time . rev . love : oh . trey : i did . kristina : you got me a ring ?

sonny : and by now , jerry jacks is in custody . kate : really ? thank god . sonny : what 's he doing here ? kate : i do n't know . he says it 's -- he did n't know . i believe him . it 's probably coincidence . sonny : no , no , no . you know what ? either way , i 'm , uh ... he 's not coming near you again . i 'm gon na take care of it . kate : thank you . i appreciate that so much . but you 're right , sonny . we do n't have time . if jerry jacks is telling the truth , the pathogen 's in the water . we have 48 hours to live . sonny : i promise you , we are not gon na go down without a fight . todd : well , someone once told me that the glassware in this hotel is not complimentary . carly : it is when you 're the owner . todd : you know , it 's not that i do n't appreciate your concern . if i drank the water , it would n't have mattered . i took a shower this morning . what are you doing ? careful . give me that . you okay ? carly : yeah . i 'm okay . todd : yeah . carly : should n't we be doing things , you know , like getting our affairs in order ? todd : that 's an interesting question , right ?

carly : i 'm pretty sure he 's already been infected . todd : how ? you 've seen the guy 's hair . he 's not big on the shower . carly : [ chuckles ] are you really gon na complain about johnny ? todd : no , you know what ? we can complain about anything you like . we can complain about his personality . we can complain about , uh , his mob ties . carly : you 're unbelievable . todd : we can complain about his -- carly : we could be dying , and there is this huge crisis going on , and you are gon na spend the last five minutes talking ... you spent five minutes trying to distract me from what 's going on . todd : it was more like 30 seconds . carly : [ chuckles ] thank you . todd : you are very welcome . carly : [ sighs ] jason : you and keenan -- does that name mean something to you ? jax : no . i thought it sounded familiar , but , i mean , i kept up with the news in port charles , so i must have read it somewhere . listen , i 'm gon na go check on my daughter . carly told me you , uh , you stayed with her when she was sick . thank you . jason : she 's a great kid . jax : maybe i can figure out a way to return the favor , think of a way to get through to my brother . dante : we know there 's a counteragent . you said so in your broadcast , so why do n't you tell us where it is ?

[ lock clicks ] carly : jax . what 's going on ? jax : jerry 's in custody . who 's your friend ? carly : uh , jasper jacks , this is todd manning . jax : how you doing ? todd : i 'm good . wow . you were n't kidding . he is perfect . that 's like the best handshake i 've ever had . i 'm glad you 're finally here to take care of your family . jax : excuse me ? carly : todd . hey , what did jerry say ? jax : he 's , uh , he 's playing games , so i guess now all we can do is wait . todd : yeah , i - i 'm not gon na wait . excuse me . i 'll see you all around . carly : i know that look . you 're keeping something from me . what ? jax : jason mentioned a doctor named keenan . carly : ewen keenan . he 's a psychiatrist . jax : i know . i 'm just -- i 'm trying to figure out why that name is so familiar to me . jason : elizabeth ? ! jerry : all right . wonderful . by all means , lock me up . we can speak again in the morning . perhaps you 'll be more receptive to negotiate the counteragent . have a good night . it might be your last . sonny : now we 're even . and when people ask you where you got that fat lip , why do n't you tell them a fairy did it to ya ? and watch your step , 'cause i 'll be watching everything you do .
todd tells carly that jerry bought access to his cable franchise under the name james craig . carly tells todd that by the time jerry came to him , he had already poisoned the water . todd does n't believe that jerry really poisoned the water . carly knocks his glass out of his hand before he is able to drink the water in it . he tells her that it would n't have mattered because he already took a shower this morning . todd and carly have a moment . sonny goes to the station and asks dante if he can do anything to help . dante tells him that john mcbain and jason are already holding jerry jacks at gunpoint . sonny tells dante about jerry 's attempt to blow up the metro court several years ago . he offers his men 's assistance with helping the police to keep the peace . dante says he does n't have the authority to deputize sonny and his men , but if it becomes necessary , he will ask the mayor . sonny tells dante that joe scully is out of jail and that there is no telling what he has planned . trey calls joe to tell him that his marriage to kristina is going to occur soon . joe tells him to stay in las vegas for a while . kate and an employee distribute flyers to all of the metro court occupants to alert them that the water is turned off and to advise them to discard any tap water in the rooms . kate knocks on the door of joe jr. 's room and overhears him telling trey that he loves him . she gives him a flyer and tells him not to let her keep him from the woman he loves . she tells him that he may be out of jail but he is still facing death . he says he does n't intend to die . she tells him that he is going to hell for what he did . he yells that she is going too for throwing away their baby . sonny comes in , gets in between them , and tells joe to leave the hotel . kate says he can stay , but he might find the service lacking . she tells sonny that they only have 48 hours to live anyway . sonny says they ca n't die because they are n't married yet . carly calls michael and todd calls starr . when the kids reveal that they are in las vegas , the parents conclude that they do n't know what 's happening in port charles and they tell them to stay there and have fun . todd wonders what michael is up to . carly says starr is safe with michael and that they should be happy that they are far away from port charles . michael wonders if they should have told them that kristina and trey are there , too . starr tells michael that something must be wrong with her father because he would normally assume that they were eloping and get on the first flight to stop her . michael says they are n't eloping , but kristina and trey might be . trey , kristina and the cameraman prepare for the wedding . trey thanks her for agreeing to shoot this episode . kristina says they will annul the marriage immediately so her father wo n't have the chance to freak out . reverend love arrives to marry kristina and trey , with mrs. love as the witness . they tell kristina and trey about their own marriage in the same chapel 50 years ago . mrs. love sings the wedding march , badly , as kristina walks down the aisle . starr and michael call wedding chapels and ask if a camera crew is setting up to film a wedding . michael finds the chapel so they go there to stop the wedding . kristina tells michael and starr that they are too late . trey sends a text to his father saying that it is done .

[ chuckles ] elizabeth : of course . you 're welcome . hey ! michael : hey . elizabeth : you look exhausted ! did you not make it home last night ? michael : no , i never made it home . look , um , there 's something i need to -- to tell you . it 's about aj aj : [ retching ] oh -- [ sniffles ] [ grunts ] [ breathing heavily ] [ chuckles ] dante : aj ! here 's some coffee for you . you 're gon na need it after the bender you went on last night . anna : good morning , aj try this again . did you murder connie falconeri ? patrick : whoa , whoa , hey . what -- what do you mean ? where -- britt 's gone ? sabrina : gone where ? felix : uh , ca n't say for sure . most likely scenario -- the commissioner hauled her lying ass down to the slammer . patrick : britt 's in jail ? sabrina : for what ? felix : aiding and abetting , accessory after the fact . turns out , her crazy mother is the perp who attacked duke lavery . patrick : liesl westbourne , britt 's mother , is the one who tried to kill duke ? felix : well , it turns out she 's no longer liesl westbourne . okay , the commissioner asked me to keep this on the q.t . , but y ' all two need to know what 's what . brace yourselves . this is big . nikolas : i hope the room was to your liking . britt : are you kidding ? the bathroom is bigger than sabrina 's entire apartment ! this compound of yours is -- nikolas : uh , estate . we like to call it ... britt : oh , oh . estate . it 's pretty hard to believe ! i mean , it 's totally gothic ! it 's like something out of `` jane eyre `` or batman ! [ gasps softly ] oh , my god . are you batman ? nikolas : i do have a butler named alfred . britt : shut up . [ chuckles ] um ... seriously , though , thank you , uh , for springing me out of jail yesterday . if you had n't have picked up , i do n't know who i would 've turned to . nikolas : not patrick ? britt : mnh - mnh . um , things with patrick are complicated . nikolas : [ chuckles ] and things with you and i are anything but ! britt : well , give it time ! it 's only noon ! nikolas : i 'm always happy to help a friend , britt . and that 's what you and i are , no matter what elizabeth or anyone else tries to tell me . elizabeth : look , michael , i do n't want to talk about aj right now . michael : elizabeth , i -- elizabeth : i 'm sure he woke up with a massive hangover this morning , going on and on about how sorry he is . but after what he said to me last night ... about jake , i have nothing to say to him . michael : you do n't understand . elizabeth : [ sighs ] michael : look , aj is , uh -- he 's been at the police station all night . elizabeth : why ? michael : dante brought him in on , uh ... suspicion of murder . aj : i told you i do n't remember a thing about last night . dante : oh , yeah -- 'cause you were drunk . aj : yes , bec -- because i was drunk . dante : well , you know what ? that 's great , aj you know what ? i 'm gon na tell that to my mother and father . i 'm sure that 'll make them feel a whole lot better . aj : i swear to you , i 'm -- dante : do you understand what 's happening here ? ! anna : detective , please bear in mind that mr. quartermaine is suffering from a hangover , which makes noises sound a lot louder . dante : oh , i 'm sorry , commissioner ! i will bear that in mind ! you know what ? these can actually speak for themselves . aj quartermaine ... you are familiar with constanza `` connie `` falconeri , i believe . note the severe trauma where you blew a hole in her chest . aj : [ vomiting ] tracy : i was convinced you were dead . luke : well , i said i 'd be back for the birth of my grandchild . i try to be a man of my word . tracy : how are lulu and the baby ? luke : lulu 's great . the kid came early , but she 's okay . tracy : that 's wonderful . congratulations , luke . luke : and to you ! i hear you 're back in the big seat at elq ! [ chuckles ] way to go , pretty lady ! laura : excuse me for a second . lulu : oh , yeah . no , i got it . scott : [ sighs ] laura : scotty , where have you been ? i 've left message after message , and then when i finally got to our room , you had n't even left a note for me ! scott : one good turn deserves another . you ran off with your ex ... so i ran off with mine . patrick : so , britt 's mom is the one that kept duke in prison in switzerland . felix : the one and the same . patrick : so that means that she 's working with faison . sabrina : wait , she put emma 's grandfather into a coma -- patrick : using propofol , which is what she used on duke . sabrina : has britt known about this all along ? were she and her mother targeting patrick this whole time ? felix : well , how long mama doc and baby doc have been in cahoots is anybody 's guess . all i know is last night , i tossed the commissioner my keys so she could go question our humble house guest . i - i did n't want to interrupt , so i - i stayed in the on - call room . when i returned this a.m. , brit was gone . her bed had n't been slept in -- all signs that dr. britchy west - scorn got what she deserved ! so can we celebrate -- patrick : hold on . stop . felix , enough , okay ? that 's my child you 're talking about ! britt : i hope you know what you 're getting yourself into . nikolas : [ grunts ] with you ? i think i can handle it . britt : mm . do n't be so sure . my alleged wrong - doings now go beyond getting pregnant to trap a man . commissioner devane actually believes that i am a conspirator in my mother 's mad , diabolical plan du jour . nikolas : mm . guilt by association . unfortunately , we ca n't choose our families . believe me -- i know that more than anyone . britt : so , you believe me ? nikolas : i choose to trust you . and i sincerely hope that you will honor that trust by telling the truth . britt : okay . nikolas : okay . good . so let 's level with each other . has your mother got you mixed up in anything ? elizabeth : murder ? ! well , that 's absurd . aj did n't kill anyone . michael : it was connie . elizabeth : connie 's dead ? michael : yeah . uh , she was shot last night in her office . elizabeth : oh , my god ! michael , i 'm -- i 'm so sorry ! how 's your dad -- i mean sonny ? michael : well , he 's the , uh -- the one who found her , so ... elizabeth : oh , my god . michael : yeah , he was a wreck , and , uh , he went after aj , but dante and i were able to step in before things got too ... bad . elizabeth : wha -- how bad ? michael : my dad would 've killed aj if i did n't beg him not to . elizabeth : well , thank god you were there . why did sonny think aj had something to do with this ? michael : connie . anna : all right . steady on . we do n't want you being sick again . dante : oh , that 's my bad . the pictures were n't a good idea . let 's try something else . aj : please . dante : [ chuckles ] anna : what have you got there , detective ? dante : you know , it 's just everything you ever wanted to know about alan quartermaine jr . i mean , all the things we 're familiar with -- you shooting your own father -- kidnapping michael , morgan , and kristina -- the drunk driving accident that caused your brother jason to have permanent brain damage . aj : what 's your point ? dante : [ chuckling ] why , you were a loan shark ? oh , that 's before you torched my father 's warehouse . and you did the same thing to your family 's gatehouse . uh , you did it again to a strip club called the oasis , and then you drove your car into it . [ chuckles ] pyro much ? aj : what exactly does -- dante : sit down ! anna : all right . dante : the point of this is that we should 've seen this coming ! everyone knows you 're a screw - up , aj ! we just thought you were too incompetent to actually do anything lethal ! well , we all stand corrected ! anna : all right , detective . thank you . that 's enough . that 's enough . aj : should he even be here ? anna : yes ! detective falconeri is still the arresting officer in the case . aj : yeah , but he 's also a - a family member of the victim ! anna : by all accounts , he and his brother are the only reason you 're not in a drawer next to connie . dante : hey , you know , i - i 'm -- i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry . let 's start again . anna : yes . dante : shall we ? come on . let 's start again , aj you pull yourself together . we 'll tell you what we know . yeah ? anna : mm - hmm ! dante : so , michael says you were drinking at the floating rib . you and elizabeth got into it . she took your keys . bartender called you a cab . the cab dropped you off at your residence at 66 harbor view road . little while after that , michael showed up . you were n't there . a few hours later , you stumble in and black out . see , aj , those hours that you ca n't account for are the hours in which connie was murdered . where did you go ? aj : i - i do n't know . dante : do you think maybe you went to connie 's office ? aj : i do n't know ! dante : what 'd you do with the gun ? aj : i do n't have a gun ! anna : does anyone residing at the quartermaine mansion own a weapon ? aj : yeah . yeah , somebody does . anna : who ? aj : tracy . luke : again with the slapping ? tracy : you are so lucky that that 's all you 're getting . i thought you were dead in a ditch somewhere ! luke : sorry to disappoint . tracy : and now i find out that -- no , you were just ignoring my calls all this time ! luke : i - i - ignoring ? i 've been busy trying to find a way to stay alive ! tracy : i had my bags packed , luke ! i had money , i had a passport -- everything i needed to go with you ! luke : yes , and if you had , whose name would be on your office door right now ? tracy , you ca n't give up elq ! and i needed to focus on finding jerry . tracy : well , you 're standing here , so i can only assume that you found the cure . luke : not exactly . laura : you ran away with your ex ? scott : yeah . lucy . laura : i see . where 'd you go ? scott : new mexico -- some touchy - feely spa there . lucy is trying to pilfer some lifestyle guru for deception -- you know , the spa that she 's trying to get off the ground with her partner . what 's her name ? oh , yeah ! same as yours . laura : i 'm sure that lucy understands why i was n't available . scott : no . no , she does n't , and neither do i . laura : scotty , look , i -- i can see that you 're really upset . scott : i am . laura : okay , but the point is that i 'm here now . i - i had to help luke , and i did as best i could but -- but i 'm here now , and ... i am 100 % in our marriage . scott : no , you 're not ! quite honestly ... neither am i -- not anymore . laura : [ exhales ] what are you saying ? scott : i want a divorce . patrick : i understand that britt made things very difficult for everybody , but i draw the line at you patting yourself on the back when my son is about to be born in prison . sabrina : patrick , that 's not what he meant ! felix : no . dr. drake , you 're right . i was n't thinking . i just keep forgetting the baby she 's carrying is yours , mostly because i do n't believe it 's true ! patrick : yeah , i understand that , felix . but you know what ? the dna test -- that does n't agree with you . sabrina : patrick , i 'm sorry . patrick : look . sabrina , if britt is in prison , i have to bail her out . i ca n't have my son being born in prison . sabrina : of course not . go , and i 'll call administration and let them know what 's going on , okay ? patrick : thank you . sabrina : okay . felix : actually , that time , you two looked really sweet . ow ! sabrina : you think you could 've handled that any differently ? felix : okay , look . i 'm sorry i upset dr. dreamboat . but i stand behind what i said . if britt is involved with her psycho , fugitive mother , then the best thing for you , patrick , emma , and that baby is for commissioner devane to lock her up for good ! britt : if you 're asking me if i knew my mother tried to poison duke lavery , then no . that one took me by surprise , too . nikolas : so , if you were n't helping her , then why did you lie to the police about when you saw her last ? britt : whoa . so much for trusting me . nikolas : britt , i 'm trying to help you . and the only way that i can do that is if you 're honest with me . britt : wow , you really are looking out for me , are n't you ? nikolas : is that such a surprise ? britt : i 'm just not used to it . i know my mom has done some terrible things . but , i mean , she 's -- she 's still my mother . so ... i told the police that she left a day earlier than she really did . i wanted her to get away . i did n't want to see her behind bars . nikolas : i can understand that . britt : and , besides , i mean , in her own way ... she 's always looked out for me , especially when it came to this baby . nikolas : how so ? laura : you want a divorce ? is n't that kind of ridiculous ? i mean , we just got remarried . scott : that 's -- that 's my point , is that , uh , we 're -- we 're not even back from our honeymoon five minutes , and you run off with spencer again ! laura : oh , for god 's sake ! the man is dying ! he needed my help ! scott : it 's -- it 's okay , laura . it just -- it confirmed everything that i always knew that i was afraid to admit -- that luke will always ... always come first with you . laura : that 's not true . it is n't ! i - i did this for lulu ! i chose you . i married you ! scott : can you honestly say , if the shoe was on the other foot and you were married to luke , and if i was dying , w - would you drop everything and come save me ? laura : yes ! absolutely ! i would ! i would ! but the thing is that that would never happen , because i would n't be married to luke , because luke and i just ... do n't fit anymore ! scott : neither do we . tracy : so , whatever sean gave you was temporary . luke : but it has been confirmed that jerry is working with this whacked - out doctor to find a permanent cure . and that 's why i have to go . tracy : you 're leaving ? luke : the clock is ticking , tracy . tracy : but what about ... the baby ? lulu ? luke : if i am gon na see that baby 's first birthday , i have to get on the road . but i could n't go ... without seeing you first . anna : so , tracy 's gun was at the quartermaine mansion . do you know where it is now ? aj : i - it 's probably still there ! i mean , she keeps it locked up in a safe ! anna : uh - huh . we 'll see what she has to say . dante : hey . how 's , uh , my lovely wife and my beautiful , little , nameless daughter ? lulu : she 's doing great ! but you know what ? she misses her daddy . dante : daddy misses both of you , too . lulu : any chance you 'll be able to make a personal appearance ? dante : no , i 'm afraid not . lulu : but you 've been working the case all night . dante : i know . and all i can tell you is that something really bad went down last night . lulu : sounds serious . dante : it is . elizabeth : but when sonny confronted aj , he denied it , right ? michael : well , he was too drunk to really say much of anything , though . elizabeth : michael , you do n't think he did this , do you ? michael : no , i hope -- i hope not . i 'd like to think he 's not capable of something like this , but i - i know how angry he was at connie . but he had so much hate in his eyes . um , i 'm not gon na lie to you . it was scary . aj : they 're lucky i was n't armed myself . because i swear to god , if i was , i would have killed connie right then and there . anna : so , once we have tracy 's gun , it wo n't take long to match it to the bullet that killed connie , at which point your life will become significantly better ... or irretrievably worse , of course . i 'm sorry -- did i say something funny ? aj : [ sighs ] no , i just -- i think it 's really great that you think my life could get any worse . anna : well , you 're not at pentonville yet , are you ? so there 's still a ways to go . you can make things easier for yourself , you know , aj aj : how ? anna : cooperating with the investigation goes a long way at trial ! aj : i am cooperating , the best that i can ! i mean , i honestly -- aj : [ chuckles ] anna : you just remembered something , did n't you ? care to share ? tracy : okay . goodbye . luke : goodbye ? forget goodbye . how about good luck ? [ sighs ] listen . i kno -- i heard and i understood what you said . you want the whole enchilada , and -- and you deserve it . but that 's more than i can ever give you , especially now . so i was just hoping ... that today , we could put all that aside . just one for the road , huh ? scott : i know that your heart was never in this marriage , and i -- it 's why i tried to ... force you to the altar . i -- i just thought if i could get a ring on your finger , that ... we could get that love back that we had when we were kids ! or maybe even get our youth back again ! laura : we did , scotty . we -- we love each other , and that -- scott : no . listen . my love for you , it -- it 's -- [ sighs ] it 's never gon na be enough for you . laura : scotty ... if i have -- scott : listen . laura ... i ca n't be that guy going 15 rounds to get you to love me the way i love you ! and i think ... that you are also tired ... of me being that guy . aj : no , i did n't remember anything . anna : are you sure ? why do n't you just describe -- aj : i 'm not gon na say anything until diane gets here . anna : okay . that 's your right , of course . so i will just leave you to weigh your options , then . patrick . what are you doing here ? is everything all right ? patrick : is it true about britt 's mom ? anna : oh . felix -- patrick : and is she responsible for attacking duke and robert ? anna : [ sighs ] that 's the working theory , yes . patrick : [ sighs ] is britt involved ? anna , you got to tell me . is britt involved ? is she harboring her mother ? anna : we 're not sure . we do know that she lied about the last time she saw her mother , because there was evidence that obrecht had been in her apartment . and that 's why we brought britt in for questioning . patrick : she 's gon na be giving birth in the next couple days , and i do n't want my son being born behind bars . anna : oh , y - you did n't hear ? britt was released ... with a little help from nikolas cassadine . britt : my mother 's been guiding me through this pregnancy from the beginning . nikolas : is n't that your field of expertise ? why would you need guidance ? britt : well , see , the thing is that sh - she 's -- [ cell phone ringing ] britt : um -- nikolas : oh , i 'm sorry , but i - i do have to take this . excuse me . hey , lulu . what 's up ? lulu : okay , i know that i should 've called you last night , but things got really crazy . nikolas : crazy how ? what happened last night ? lulu : you became an uncle again . laura : i do n't think we have to throw away everything that we have . i think we can do better . i can do better . scott : we -- we tried ! did n't work ! laura : well ... we 're gon na try harder . [ chuckles tearfully ] scott : i do n't think we can . [ sighs ] we 're in , like ... some endless loop ! i mean ... the only way to escape is ... one of us has to break out . so ... i 'm -- i 'm letting you go , laura ... for both of our sakes . laura : [ crying ] where are you gon na go ? scott : i - i 'm not gon na go anywhere ! i -- this town needs a d.a . to clean up the crime once and for all ! laura : well , okay . well , you 're gon na be fantastic at that . scott : i 'm glad i have your vote . laura : [ sighs ] scott : i just want what 's best for you . laura : [ crying ] and i want what 's best for you ! scott : well , i wish we could 've done it together . laura : me , too ! scott : listen , you -- you tell lulu congratulations . laura : okay . i will . [ continues crying ] nikolas : i take it my new , little niece is in good health ? lulu : get your butt over here ! she ca n't wait to meet you . nikolas : all right . i 'm on my way . i 'm really sorry , but i have to go . britt : oh , no , no , no . maxie had lulu 's baby already ? nikolas : yeah , and apparently , everything is fine . britt : oh , that 's great ! that 's great . yeah , i used to be lulu and maxie 's o.b . , once upon a time . uh , anyways , um , you should get going , uncle nik ! nikolas : [ chuckles ] britt : give everybody my best . nikolas : i will . i will . and , uh ... we 'll finish our conversation when i get back . i promise . britt : sure thing . nikolas : yeah . luke : are you okay ? laura : [ inhales deeply ] yes ! [ exhales ] i 'm fine ! i 'm fine . what about you ? luke : oh . no worse than yesterday . [ cell phone ringing ] laura : oh . [ sighs ] luke : do you want to get that ? laura : no . it 's nothing . oh , it 's just the doctors in paris . they want me to come in for my yearly tests . luke : when ? laura : i was supposed to do it last month , but i postponed . luke : you postponed to come and find me . that was a bad idea , laura ! laura : it 's just a wellness evaluation ! it 's nothing ! luke : it is n't nothing . it 's important . you should n't be putting it off . laura : [ scoffs ] i feel fine . luke : well , i want you to stay feeling fine . this thing that i 'm fighting ... well , it 's terminal unless i -- so it 's even more important that you are here ... and totally present for the kids ... and our new -- our new grandchild . lulu : is anyone going to tell me what 's going on ? laura : uh , your -- your dad is upset with me because i put off my , uh , wellness evaluation at the clinic in paris . lulu : i would 've been upset with you , too ... if i 'd known . laura : sweetie , there 's nothing to worry about , here ! really ! it 's a wellness evaluation ! they give it to me every year ! lulu : which is why you ca n't afford to put it off . laura : well , okay , then . i - i guess this is where i do the right thing , set a good example for you as a mother -- um ... okay -- and do the right thing , so ... the last thing i want to do right now , little one , is leave you . lulu : i love you so much , mom . laura : i love you so much .

[ chuckles ] you 're serious . nina : yeah . silas : okay . nina : silas . silas : 13 . nina : 13 ? silas : 13 . nina : really ? 13 ? silas : thank you for ... for giving me the push that i needed . nina : you 're welcome . silas : [ sighs ] nina : [ sighs ] that was amazing . silas : yeah . nina : yeah . remember when we were younger and how crazy we were in bed ? silas : out of bed , too . nina : yeah . i ca n't wait to get up and about so we can go back to our -- to our old ways . silas : i do n't know , nina . you 're pretty strong already . i - i ca n't believe how far you 've come . nina : you gave me motivation . you were my motivation . it was you and everything we had together and getting all that back . so , what do you think ? after last night and just now , do you think we made a baby ? anna : this is what we have so far . levi dunkleman is an alias . his real name is peter harrell , which also happens to be the name of a former fiancé of felicia scorpio . they were engaged in 1984 , which is when the aztec jewelry was stolen for the first time . dante : by harrell ? anna : yeah . he would have been successful , too , but thanks to frisco and felicia , he did n't get away with it . dante : well , this sounds like history repeating itself . anna : hmm . nathan : that ca n't be a coincidence . anna : my theory is the two peter harrells are father and son . maxie : you stole my mother 's jewelry , and then you kidnapped us to use us as protection against the police . that 's not personal , levi . that 's just stupid . levi : you think that 's the only reason you 're here ? max , you are so much more than a hostage . maxie : then keep me here and let lulu go . lulu : no , maxie . maxie : she has a son that needs her . lulu : i am not leaving here without you . maxie : yes , you are . levi , this is between me and you , okay ? just leave lulu out of it . levi : i 'd love to . i really would . lord knows the two of you are double the trouble . but as it turns out ... lulu is as much a part of this as you are . elizabeth : hey , i 've never seen this picture before . who is that handsome boy ? is that you with your uncle nikolas ? you remember uncle nikolas , do n't you ? you lived in his house for a little while . well , i would n't exactly call it a house . it 's so big and formal . and i would never tell your uncle nikolas this , 'cause i would n't want to hurt his feelings , but it 's kind of gloomy , do n't you think ? is n't his house gloomy ? [ knock on door ] elizabeth : between you and me , i like this place better . it 's much cozier and it feels more like home . brad : [ laughs ] lucas : all right , let 's get back to this nikolas and britt thing . i thought they were over . brad : well , i encouraged her not to give up . lucas : [ laughs ] of course you do . brad : what 's that mean ? lucas : that means that you are one of , if not the most , tenacious people i 've ever met in my life . brad : it worked , did n't it ? you forgave me . maybe nikolas forgave britt , too . maybe they 're as happy as we are right now . lucas : impossible . [ chuckles ] britt : so , how was the big threesome ? whoa . felix : wait , wait , wait . someone deliberately went after you , patrick , and emma ? sabrina : and gabriel had to pay the price . felix : [ sighs ] sabrina : [ sighs ] sorry . felix : do n't you apologize . not to me , not to anyone . this is insane . why would somebody do that to you ? sabrina : i do n't know . but i swear on my little boy 's soul that i will find out . felix : maybe you should leave it to the professionals to investigate who was pulling rafe 's strings . sabrina : patrick hired sam . she 's on the case . felix : good . she 's got a great reputation . sabrina : felix , gabriel was my son . my flesh and blood . felix : i know , but you 've been through so much already . i do n't think going on this quest is such a good idea . sabrina : it 's not a quest ! felix : it 's not ? sabrina : i 'm just ... i 'm looking into it , okay ? it 's fine . felix , i 'm -- i 'm stronger now . felix : i can see that , but that does n't mean you should be going into -- sabrina : felix , i owe it to my son to find out why he had to die . nina : they say that some women , they can feel that they 've conceived a baby immediately . i do n't know if i felt that when we made a baby . i 'm not sure . maybe i did . i mean , it 's possible . i do n't know . why are you giving me the doctor stare ? silas : i 'm not giving you the doctor stare . nina : [ chuckles ] you do n't think it 's conceivable medically ? silas : it 's not really my area of expertise . nina : but you think . i want to know what you think . silas : i think we need to be realistic . we do n't know if you can even get pregnant , let alone carry to term . i understand that you want a baby , but ... you 're still hurting about the one that you lost . nina : the one we lost . silas : the one that we lost . nina : we lost . silas : i just do n't want to see you get disappointed if it does n't happen . nina : the odds are against me , that 's for sure . no one knows that better than i do . i 'm just trying to get everything back that was taken from me . that 's all . britt : i 'm so sorry . i had no idea you 'd still be at it . i mean -- i mean , here . brad : that 's fine . britt : so , i take it you had a good time ? [ laughs ] brad : understatement . lucas : [ laughs ] britt : where 's felix ? brad : change of plans . lucas and i figured out we did n't want a three - way . we only wanted each other . britt : aww ! lucas : brad was hoping that you and nikolas may have figured out the same thing , minus the threesome part , unless , of course , you 're into that sort of thing , which then -- you know what ? i 'm gon na stop talking now . brad : have you been shacked up at wyndemere this whole time ? britt : i have been with nikolas , but not shacked up . brad : you did n't manage to get him back ? britt : do you seriously not know ? lucas : know what ? britt : nikolas ' sister was kidnapped . elizabeth : any updates ? nikolas : no . britt and i were at the police station earlier . anna mentioned that she had a new lead but could n't give any details . elizabeth : new leads are good . nikolas : only if they pan out . anyway , uh , dante was n't there , so i came by to see how he was doing . elizabeth : you just missed him . he left for work . nikolas : how 'd he seem ? elizabeth : as you would expect . he 's trying to keep it together for rocco , but he 's really screaming on the inside . nikolas : i 'll bet . oh ! [ chuckles ] anyway , it was nice of you to babysit . elizabeth : it 's the least i could do . i wish there was more i could do to help you . but britt seems to have it all covered . nikolas : elizabeth , i 'm sorry . she 's been great , a godsend . what else do you want me to say ? elizabeth : yeah , no , i - i know . i 'm actually kind of surprised she 's not here with you right now . she 's been stuck to your side since lulu was taken . which makes sense given how close you guys are to getting back together . nikolas : who said that ? elizabeth : britt did . she just happened to let it slip that the two of you were about to have sex when i called with the news about lulu . maxie : how does this have anything to do with lulu ? she has nothing to do with the aztec treasure . levi : you 'll find out soon enough . lulu : what 's the matter , levi ? whoever you 're leaving messages for still has n't called you back ? maxie : or maybe you 're as disposable as scribner . levi : so it 's true what they say about blondes . sorry , girls , but you got it all wrong . lulu : oh , do we ? maxie : you know , whatever you think you 're doing , it 's not gon na work . dante and nathan are gon na hunt you down . lulu : i 'll bet that they 're already on to you , thanks to agent scribner . you know he 's talking since you knifed him in the back . maxie : oh , no , lulu , uh , he shot him in the front . lulu : you 're right . my bad . levi : shut up . maxie : yeah , they 're gon na burst in here maybe any second , and they 're not gon na hesitate to shoot you , levi . levi : i said shut up ! lulu : i think we hit a nerve . maxie : are you scared ? is something bothering you ? because you do n't have to die a loathsome pig , levi . you could untie us and then take off running , and maybe you 'll make it to canada in time to find a rock to live under . levi : do you ever stop talking ? ! god ! you 're as bad as that simpering mother of yours ! nathan : so you think peter harrell jr. is trying to finish what his old man started ? dante : or maybe they teamed up together . i mean , you said the father was obsessed with the jewels , right ? tried to steal them the first time ? maybe they teamed up to try and get the heist to go over another time . nathan : yeah , where is harrell sr . now ? anna : we do n't know . back when the jewelry was being recovered , he was shot , and he fell into a body of water , a waterfall or something . and then he was wrongly presumed dead . he later resurfaced briefly to try to lure felicia into a trap , which failed , and he then fled to brazil , as far as we know . i mean , this all happened back in the mid ' 80s , so ... nathan : and there 's no record of him since ? anna : no . it 's entirely feasible he 's still out there . nina : i just want to stay in bed all day . remember when we were in the city ... and we 'd be at home in bed and the world was going on outside and we 'd burrow under the covers ? silas : order more takeout than we could ever possibly eat . nina : yes . [ chuckles ] i loved that . i bet it would be so much fun now with the dvss . you could just stay in bed all day with your dvs and watch what you wanted . you know , the dvss . silas : dvr . nina : the -- oh . dvr . silas : it 's called a dvr . nina : [ laughs ] i promise you i 'm not gon na be this clueless forever . silas : i do n't have one anyway . nina : [ laughs ] then why are we talking about it ? silas : i have no idea . nina : do n't make me go to physical therapy , please . silas : [ sighs ] i thought you wanted to get stronger . nina : i - i do . but -- especially if i 'm pregnant , i want to get strong . i just want to stay here with you . silas : well , that 's a nice thought , but ... my shift starts in 20 minutes . nina : okay . all right . then do n't make your patients wait . silas : would you like to shower first ? nina : mnh - mnh . no . i just want to stay here and indulge in this feeling . [ sighs ] oh , no . [ shower running ] nina : i want to hate you . i want to hate you . but that was incredible . sabrina : okay , felix , you are my best friend , and i am so happy to be back home with you . and i will always appreciate you , okay ? felix : thank you . i appreciate you , too , more than you know . just do me a favor . sabrina : yeah , anything . felix : be careful looking into this rafe thing . the last thing i want is for you to get hurt again . britt : i 'm sorry to drop the lulu bomb on you . i completely forgot that she was your cousin . lucas : yeah . lulu and maxie are both my cousins . i should be with my family . britt : well , if it helps , nathan and -- and dante are all over the investigation . lucas : but they do n't know where lulu and maxie are ? britt : not yet , but last i heard , there was a lead , so you have every reason to be hopeful . lucas : yeah , i got to go . brad : want me to come with ? lucas : no , thank you , though .

[ whooping ] [ laughs ] nathan : it all fits , though . levi is harrell sr . 's son doing his father 's bidding . dante : he would be the right age . anna : from what i understand about his disappearance , he would certainly have an axe to grind with felicia . nathan : exactly . it sounds like the guy would stop at nothing to get his hands on the jewels . dante : including kidnapping two innocent women . anna : okay . i 'm gon na try and get in touch with frisco again , see if i ca n't blast my way through the logjam at the wsb . nathan : hey . you okay ? dante : not really . i mean , we connected a few dots just now , but it does n't really get us any closer to finding maxie and lulu .

[ scene_break ] kiki : was it morgan ? did morgan kill my dad ? franco : let 's just hold on for a second and think about this , okay ? kiki : did morgan kill my dad to keep me from finding out that he was screwing around with my mother ? franco : we have no proof that morgan was even in the apartment that night . kiki : oh , my god . if i would have found out sooner , my dad could still be alive . [ scene_break ] alexis : in the absence of any corroborating evidence , and in light of the confession of franco baldwin , we ask that the charges against nina lansing in the murder of silas clay be dismissed . judge roth : motion denied . the request for bail is also denied . alexis : well , my client is not a flight risk . the state has control of all her financial assets . judge roth : bail is still denied . court is adjourned . [ bangs gavel ] nina : what does this mean ? alexis : it means you go back to lockup . madeline : oh , darling , i am so sorry you 're going back to that filthy cell . ca n't you do something ? i mean , after all , you are the da . ric : yeah , i know . i would if i could . look , nina , i 'm so sorry that this is happening to you . you know , mayor lomax is relentless . she 's insisting that i go forward with this trial . nina : what did i ever do to mayor lomax ? ric : no , it 's not you , darling . it 's politics , okay ? i would give anything for you not to have to suffer the anguish of a trial . but , you know , once that picture was released and ava jerome brought into court , my hands were tied . look , you know that i 'm behind you , do n't you ? alexis : oh , that is very touching , that you 're behind your wife , who you only know for 24 hours before you married her . bailiff : it 's time to go . madeline : nina -- ric : listen , nina , as soon as i talk to the ada , i 'm gon na come check on you , okay ? madeline : keep your head up high , nina . so , did you , um , manage to get to the police station and get that document ? ric : well , unfortunately , i ran into a little snag . [ scene_break ] nathan : well , we should hear back from him soon . dante : i know you 're worried about your sister . nathan : that 's only part of it . [ cell phone rings ] jordan : [ sighs ] it 's lomax . mayor lomax , how can i -- yes , yes , that is true . we did have da lansing in custody . mayor , if i may , i -- no , it was not my department 's intention or my officers to humiliate or embarrass your office . well -- well , the evidence against da lansing was too compelling to ignore . unfortunately , we , um , we had to let lansing go . [ scene_break ] madeline : the police accused you of murdering silas ? ric : yeah , handcuffed me and walked me through the station . madeline : [ scoffs ] i have no words . ric : dante 's my nephew , too . you think he would have given me the benefit of the doubt , but no . he just stood aside and let west try to railroad me . madeline : why ? why would they do that ? ric : well , they said they had new evidence . they do n't . it was -- it was nothing . it was a bluff , okay ? i think west was just trying to make his sister feel good . try to get a confession out of me . [ chuckles ] madeline : how did you convince them to let you go ? ric : well , i threatened them with a lawsuit , you know ? it 'd bankrupt not only the department , but the entire city . i told them , `` either charge me or let me go . `` wisely , they chose the latter . madeline : well , with all your adventures , i do n't supposed you managed to secure the document . ric : oh , but i did . [ scene_break ] julian : morgan , again ? ava : i did n't mean for it to happen . he just ... seemed to be there when i needed him . julian : and what ? you just could n't help yourself ? i mean , the kid is dating your daughter , ava . ava : [ sighs ] i know . but i love morgan . i know he loves me . julian : okay , i do n't care how good the kid is in bed . at some point , you need to cut your losses . ava : hey , why is it so hard for you to believe that i could actually have feelings for him ? julian : well , obviously you do . otherwise , you would n't have taken that risk hooking up with him again . ava : well , you 'll be happy to know it 's over . morgan is furious with me for not telling him the truth about who i was . he ended it for good . he 's trying to make things work with kiki . julian : and you ca n't stand it , can you ? [ scene_break ] kiki : morgan slept with my mother . and he killed my father to cover it up . franco : there 's zero proof that morgan killed your father . okay , my money 's still on ava . she had motive and opportunity , and lord knows she 's capable of murder . kiki : morgan told me that he loved me . he promised me that we were gon na make a life together . [ chuckles ] but that was all just based on lies , on filthy , disgusting lies ! franco : at least morgan did n't know that it was with your mother . kiki : [ scoffs ] oh , right . thank you . yes . he thought that he was getting with my aunt . that 's so much better . thank you , franco . guard ! franco : okay , maybe i should n't have said that . where are you going ? kiki : i have to get out of here . franco : kiki . hey , kiki ! [ scene_break ] morgan : okay . i 'm sorry . i - i can see now that i 'm worrying you guys , and i 'm sorry for that , but i 'm not sick . i 'm not like you , dad . carly : we 're just asking you to get evaluated so we can address the possibility . that 's all . morgan : okay . look , look , look , look . if -- if you look at it , everything ties back to ava . everything goes back to her . the gambling . you remember the gambling . that was a jerome site that she got me to go on . and partnering with julian -- that was ava . she pushed me into that . drugging michael -- also ava . got you -- you and michael separated . ava is the disease here , okay ? and when i 'm rid of her , which i am , everything 's fine . all i need is kiki . i do n't need a doctor . all i need is kiki . carly : okay , you do n't have to have all one thing or the other , okay ? you can get an evaluation and have kiki . sonny : can we just sit down and we 'll talk a little bit about what 's going on ? morgan : i ca n't -- i ca n't right now because kiki 's going over to her dad 's for the first time . so , i just feel like i should be there with her . but mom , dad , everything 's fine . i 'm good . i am . i really , really , really appreciate your guys ' care and concern , though . thanks . [ scene_break ] maxie : [ sighs ] lulu , i am your best friend , right ? lulu : right . so ? maxie : so , you need to trust me when i tell you you have to do this . dillon : my sentiments exactly . you know my vision for marjorie . beautiful and effortlessly stylish . you are both . lulu : okay , before you guys get carried away , i have never taken a single acting class . i did n't even do theater in high school . dillon : and i told you , as a director , it is my job to make sure you give the performance that i want . maxie : this is incredible . it could change your life . lulu : i like my life , thank you very much . do n't you want it to be more exciting , more glamorous ? i mean , just think about it -- magazine covers , festival circuits , the academy awards . dillon : okay , maxie , let 's bring it back down to earth for a second . maxie : why ? dream big or go home . this is the chance of a lifetime . you need to take it . lulu : if you are so into the idea , why do n't you star in dillon 's movie ? [ scene_break ] carly : well , that did n't go exactly as we expected . sonny : i thought it was gon na be worse . i mean , i thought , you know , morgan was gon na punch me when we started talking about mental health . carly : he wo n't even entertain the idea that he has a problem , which could be part of the problem . sonny : magical thinking . he really thinks that kiki 's gon na just fix everything and save his life ? no , i mean ... carly : as much as i 'd like to think that young love can triumph over everything , we both know that 's not true . [ scene_break ] ava : this is absurd . i 'm facing life in prison . i should be terrified . i should be desperate . but i ca n't see any farther than how much i miss morgan , how much it hurts to let him go . julian : [ sighs ] you -- you had to know at some point that you and morgan were doomed from the start . ava : maybe i did . but that does n't change what i feel , how much he means to me . julian : no matter how much hurt you 're in at the moment , ava , you 're much stronger without him . ava : well , he certainly believes that he 's stronger without me . he asked me not to tell anybody that we 'd been together . so , that goes for you , too , okay ? please . promise me that you 'll keep this secret , okay ? kiki can never know . [ scene_break ] kiki : [ sighs ] looks like nothing even happened . dad ... you were gon na tell me , were n't you ? you were gon na tell me what morgan and my mom were doing behind my back . god , i need you so much right now , dad . i do n't know what i 'm gon na do . [ knock on door ] kiki : [ sniffles ] [ scene_break ] franco : you okay ? nina : hey , franco . good to see you again . franco : hi . alexis could n't get the case tossed , i guess . nina : um ... i did what you said . i pled not guilty . and i tried to tell the judge that you were n't guilty either , but they made me shut up . franco : judges . they 're so judgy . nina : you wo n't believe who showed up at the hearing . my mother and my husband . franco : really ? you did n't tip them off , did you ? nina : uh ... you mean let them know that i know that they were gaslighting me and making me hear imaginary babies ? no . i was as cool as a cucumber . franco : good . good . okay . well , one way or another , they 're gon na get what 's coming to them , and so will we . nina : that 's not very comforting , considering that we 've done a lot of questionable things . franco : what 's coming our way is freedom , happiness . we 're innocent , and somehow , we 'll prove it . and somehow , whoever really did murder silas is gon na have to take the rap . [ scene_break ] jordan : understood . yep . as soon as i know , you will know . and -- well , that went well . dante : your ears ringing ? jordan : she 's unhappy that we did n't have enough to hold ric for silas clay 's murder . nathan : well , you did n't have a choice . you ca n't tell her the truth . [ scene_break ] ric : i insisted that the document be released to me . madeline : excellent . now all we have to do is get nina 's signature on it posthaste . ric : that is a piece of cake . i will pay a visit to my lovely wife in that dank little cell , and i will explain to her that i can get the charges against her and franco dropped in exchange for her signature . madeline : well , knowing how she feels about that horrible man , i 'm sure she 'll do it . ric : you know how close we are to the money , right ? madeline : then what are you waiting for ? get down to that cell and take care of business . ric : yeah , yeah , yeah . just -- just one second , though . uh ... i need for you to , um , explain something to me ... how you got silas to sign this . [ flashback ] madeline : [ knocks on door repeatedly ] silas : what do you want ? [ next_on ] carly ( to sonny ) : i ca n't shake the feeling that this is all about to blow up in morgan 's face . morgan : is something wrong ? kiki : you could say that . madeline ( to ric ) : i needed to do whatever it took to make sure we got the money . nathan ( to jordan ) : he is going to lead us right to silas clay 's killer . lulu ( to maxie ) : put your money where your mouth is and audition .
while nina 's arraignment trial is underway , ric is not there and everybody wonders where the new da is . unknown to nina , alexis , madeline , the judge and all other interested parties in the courtroom , the cops are attempting to arrest and hold ric for the murder of silas . jordan brainstorms with dante and nathan . dante finds it odd when she informs him that the last time she spoke to ric , julian jerome was waiting outside ric 's office . dante knows there might be a secret reason julian has for doing that which they are unaware . nathan tries but admits to his partner and boss that he failed to detain ric and had to let him go . ric then returns to madeline and happily presents to her the document that they need nina to sign , while they are both confident she will have incentive to do so when ric promises to get both her and franco released from prison in exchange for her signing the papers . madeline assumes everything will go her way until ric reveals to her that he found out that she secretly had silas signing something which everyone else was unaware . she goes to talk to silas and there is a question as to whether he is really dead or not .

[ scene_break ] griffin : i should probably turn myself in . ava : for what ? chivalry ? griffin : try assault . look , it 's better to surrender than let that reporter have me arrested . ava : you 're not gon na be arrested . when i mentioned the word lawsuit , the reporter and his cameraman took off so fast , they left a vapor trail . griffin : still , i do n't want to risk any bad publicity for the hospital . ava : you really are kind of too good to be true . you know that ? griffin : why ? because i care about the place that i work ? ava : because you put everything ahead of yourself . i bet that makes you a very good priest . griffin : what ? you do n't have the whole `` sacrifice yourself for a higher power `` thing down ? ava : me ? [ chuckles ] no , no . griffin : [ laughs ] ava : not quite . but you do n't have to sacrifice anything , either . if that reporter shows up at gh , i 'll have that lawsuit filed before he can unpack his microphone . griffin : you 'd do that for me ? ava : yeah , of course , i would . you put yourself on the line for me , did n't you ? i 'd be honored to return the favor . but just so you know , for future reference , i 'm not entirely helpless , you know . [ chuckles ] i can take care of myself . griffin : yeah , so can i .

[ scene_break ] sam : julian got 15 years ? alexis : 20 years if he serves his full sentence . sam : is he gon na ask for an appeal ? alexis : i do n't see how . i mean , judge chua was -- well , she 's extremely competent , and i do n't think she left much room for grounds for an appeal . sam : did he ask for lenience ? alexis : no , it was just the opposite . he told the court that he was a danger to his family and that we 'd be safer the further he was away from us . and right before they took him away , he said to me that he hoped that this would help me forget him and move on . sam : can you do that ? [ scene_break ] jason : port charles is a lucrative place to do business . can you really trust the other heads to take their fair share and play nicely ? sonny : i 've gone over it in my head a thousand times . it 's the only way i know how to protect the people i love . jason : no changing your mind ? sonny : i thought i 'd just let you know so you 'll be prepared . jason : hey , look . you 're not going into this meeting alone , are you ? sonny : i got it covered . you go home to your wife . tell sam that i 'm gon na make this work for all of us . [ scene_break ] alexis : i mean , it 's not like i have a choice but to move on . he 's in prison . sam : hey , just because he 's locked up does n't mean he 's out of your life . alexis : is n't that what you all want ? for me to wash my hands of him , even though everything he did was to protect his family ? sam : i do n't know . i mean , even if it 's true , even if olivia was responsible for that one time , what about the other million times that he chose not to protect us ? alexis : you 're assuming that olivia would n't have killed him or you or me or anyone else to prove her point . sam : well , i 'm just saying that i think julian may have tried to protect you , but he 's also trying to protect himself . alexis : okay , well , he 's being punished , is n't he ? he 's lost everything . [ scene_break ] carly : and i was considering evicting you from your room here tonight . scott : what are you talking about ? i pay my bill on time , if not very closely ! carly : you 're a month behind ! but in honor of julian 's conviction , i 'm gon na give you till the end of the month to settle your bill . i am . and i 'm gon na comp your dinner tonight . you , too , lucy . lucy : wow . thank you ? okay , how 'd you do that ? how did you manage to land in carly 's good graces ? scott : i lost a case . lucy : oh , wow . alert the media . scott : [ sighs ] you know , you should be a little nicer to me . lucy : why ? so i can dine on carly 's dime ? i do n't think so . no , thank you . because guess what ? i do n't need a handout . things are going very , very well for me . i 'm on the verge of a great , big commission . so i 'm thinking about this . picture it -- at the local cineplex , i take out advertising so you see my face before the coming attractions . `` lucy coe gets it done . `` scott : well , lee would be very proud of you . lucy : what 's this ? scott : gail sent it . lee left it for you in his will .

[ chuckles ] jake : [ chuckles ] franco : she has a point . squiggy 's a little avant - garde . jake : okay , then . maybe you could put up one of these . like ... this one ?

[ scene_break ] carly : when irina held jax prisoner , she amused herself by having him beaten -- which , i 'm sure , was very horrible for him . so if i were a better person , i would be grateful that she moved on from torturing him to wanting to sleep with him . i me , it 's not like jax was a willing participant at all . i mean , he was basically raped . do n't . do n't -- do n't even look like that . it 's not funny . guys can be forced into it , sort of , especially when the woman in question is threatening to kill me and my children . so if jax had to do that to keep himself alive until jerry and i could get there , i -- i 'm going to have to find a way to deal with it and find a way to live with it , okay , and i will . what i ca n't get past is that he left me . i stood there and i begged him not to go , and he left anyway . jason : i mean , i do n't even know what to say at this point . carly : yeah , i know -- [ carly chuckles ] carly : join the club . jason : i need you to listen to me for a second , okay ?

britt : no ! i had no idea that she was the one who put robert scorpio in a coma ! and i sure as hell did n't know she was going after duke lavery ! patrick : there is an empty bottle of propofol in your apartment , britt . that is your mother 's drug of choice . britt : so ? patrick : so , obviously you 're working with her . britt : no , i was n't ! in fact , when i found the vial , i asked her to leave ! patrick : oh , when what you should have done was call the police . britt : she 's my mother , patrick ! but yeah , if -- if i would have known the whole story , if i would have known everything that she 's done , i 'd have turned her in ! patrick : oh , really ? you would have just turned her in ? britt : [ scoffs ] you -- you do n't believe me ? patrick : no more than i believe that you 're in the dark when it comes to your mother and our baby . molly : excuse me . um , are you mr. wells ? derek : i am . rafe : so , that thing you just said about not telling `` those people `` who you really are ? derek : [ chuckles ] it 's a business call , kid . i 'm trying to gain , um , an advantage with the , um , element of surprise . so , who are you two ? molly : oh , i 'm sorry . i 'm molly , and this is rafe . um , i 'm sam 's sister . derek : really ? molly : well , technically , half - sister , but we never count that . rafe : we just wanted to say thank you for what you 're doing for danny . derek : oh , listen , no , um , thank yous necessary . rafe : well , i 'd get used to it if i were you . molly : yeah , i still ca n't get over you being a match . a totally random person with no connections to our family whatsoever . derek : yeah , it really is , um , something , is n't it ? molly : yeah , it is . i mean , the doctor said that the odds varied between 1 and 20,000 and 1 and 50,000 . rafe : it really did seem impossible , but here you are . derek : well , i 'm just , um , i 'm glad i can help . molly : well , um , we 're heading out for a little bit , but we 'll be back . derek : yeah . it was nice meeting you , molly . and rafe . molly : oh ! you should go in and say hi to danny . trust me . you are gon na love him . derek : yeah . britt : my mother has nothing to do with our baby . patrick : you might want to consider your answers here . also the one about you not ever seeing her . britt : my mother ? patrick : are we talking about somebody else ? britt : i do n't know what we 're talking about ! you 're not making any sense ! patrick : okay , let me be clear . the nurses ' ball , your big baby announcement ? your mother was there the whole time , and i know it . lulu : you invited britt westbourne to stay ... nikolas : yes . lulu : ... like , in a bedroom , in your house ? nikolas : well , it 's not as though i do n't have plenty of room , lulu . lulu : what is wrong with you ? nikolas : okay , i take it you 're not a fan of britt , either ? lulu : hmm . is anyone ? nikolas : i 've heard all the warnings before , believe me . lulu : and you are ignoring them . nikolas : no , i 'm -- i 'm proceeding with caution . lulu : well , i hope so . better watch how she is with spencer , and please do not let her pass that baby off as yours . nikolas : [ laughs ] that might be a little difficult consider we never , you know ... lulu : whoa , whoa , whoa . too much information , nikolas : i 'm just stating the facts . and speaking of babies , is n't britt the reason why we 're here celebrating this little miracle ? i mean , if not for her , baby nikolas would be but a dream . lulu : wow . you play dirty . nikolas : is n't -- is n't britt the doctor that was so successful in getting maxie pregnant with your baby ? lulu : turns out that it 's slightly more complicated than that . nikolas : how so ? lulu : do n't worry . everything is fine . nikolas : really ? then why are you acting like that when you should be radiating with joy ? lulu : [ sighs ] it 's just ... maxie seems to think that our little girl is hers . maxie : i said that the baby was mine ? what else did i say ? mac : you probably were n't thinking clearly after surgery and all the drugs . maxie : was i calling the baby georgie again ? mac : honestly , i do n't remember . i do n't think so . but what had your mom and me worried was that you told us spinelli was the baby 's father . sabrina : look , if you want to tell me to mind my own business , feel free . ellie : no . no , no , it 's not that . believe me , i wish i could confide in you about everything . but it would n't be fair , not to the people involved and not to you . i know it would weigh on your conscience as much as it weighs on mine . sabrina : i just wish i could help . ellie : [ exhales deeply ] bottom line -- i was n't truthful to damian for months about something huge , something life - altering . sabrina : and you finally told him ? ellie : and i do n't think he 's ever gon na be able to forgive me . sabrina : look , coming clean had to count for something , though -- make the blow a little easier . ellie : not so far . sabrina : just give it a little time . britt confessed to patrick about lying to him , and afterwards , his whole attitude towards her changed . patrick actually started to trust britt . britt : how did you know my mother was at the nurses ' ball ? patrick : i met her . britt : what ? patrick : wow . clearly she did n't tell you that . yeah , my father and i ran into her at the airport . obviously i did n't know who she was at the time , but she had something very important to tell me about my dead wife . britt : my mother talked to you about robin ? patrick : she was very touched about paying tribute to her . she actually even congratulated me on the baby , which , if i would have known , i would have congratulated her back , because obviously that 's the grandmother . britt : patrick , i did not know that she -- patrick : do n't tell me that you do n't know what 's going on , britt . you were clearly conspiring to use this baby against me . britt : yes . we were . sam : derek wells -- he 's quite the successful businessman . his associates seem to respect him . alexis : yeah , like i said , i did n't do a lot of digging , but from what i can tell , he likes to keep a low profile . sam : mom , as long as this transplant goes through , [ smooches ] that 's all i care about . [ door opens ] sam : right ? derek : am i interrupting ? alexis : mr. wells . derek : really ? we 're still doing this ? i really think you need to start calling me derek . sam : yes . [ chuckles ] derek . of course . mom , i mean , at this point , he 's practically family . alexis : yeah . derek . sam : derek , will you please meet my son , danny ? this is the little boy 's life you 're gon na be saving . derek : oh . well , hello , danny . [ chuckles ] he 's a good - looking kid . sam : yeah . yes . actually , i think he is . derek : he has a lot of his -- a lot of his mom in him . sam : [ chuckles ] actually -- actually , i think he looks a lot like his father . derek : you really have n't mentioned his father . why is that ? sam : um , he , uh , he passed away last summer . derek : [ sighs ] i 'm sorry for you and your son . sam : thank you . derek : i mean , growing up without a father is , uh ... sam : no , i - i know about it . it 's been pretty rough , but , um , we 're gon na be just fine . are n't we , danny ? derek : do you mind if i , uh ... sam : hold him ? derek : yeah . sam : yes . of course . [ chuckling ] yes . say hi to daniel . he 's heavy . watch out . derek : hey , little man . how are you ? [ laughs ] he sure is sturdy . sam : yes , i know . sometimes i think he 's stronger than i am . derek : does he have any grandfathers in the picture ? hmm ? sam : no . no , just , um , just a couple of uncles . derek : [ sighs ] you 're my little man . sorry , ava . [ sighs ] [ chuckles ] here you go . sam : thank you . derek : um ... sam : come here , baby . derek : you know , there 's , uh ... there 's something i - i should probably ... i should probably tell you . nikolas : i 'm sorry . you 're gon na have to back up for a minute . maxie thinks the baby is hers ? lulu : not really . she was on who knows how many drugs when she said it . nikolas : well , then why are you so concerned ? lulu : before the baby was born , there were some incidents that made us think maybe maxie was getting a little too attached . nikolas : like what ? lulu : like when maxie would talk to the baby , she called her georgie . nikolas : after her sister ? lulu : yeah . and then mac said that right after surgery , maxie not only insisted that she was the mom , that spinelli was the dad . nikolas : spinelli . yeah . lulu : why are you saying it like that ? nikolas : well , he was here earlier , and he was looking in at the baby and seemed to get a little choked up for some reason . lulu : again ? he was just emotional last night . nikolas : well , i mean , you know , babies tend to do that to people . lulu : mnh - mnh . no . he 's giving me a weird vibe . nikolas : about what ? lulu : i just ... i just want to know why spinelli was here . that 's all . maxie : i said that ? that spinelli was the baby 's father ? [ sighs ] mac : you were so upset that you could n't see her . the doctor had to sedate you . it was awful seeing you in so much pain . maxie : well , i 'm sorry . mac : oh , sweetheart , do n't be sorry . your mom and i just wanted to make it better for you . so we called kevin . i mean , he said your reaction was completely normal . the mind does strange things after giving birth . and because you 're a surrogate , i mean , you may be even more susceptible to a post - partum event . maxie : an event ? so , i 'm -- i 'm crazy ? mac : no ! no . maxie : no , but i need a shrink ? maxie : maxie , you have been through the wringer , sweetheart . you deserve a medal , a gold medal for what you did for dante and lulu . but you did it for dante and lulu . the baby you gave birth to belongs to them . do you understand that ? ellie : look , sabrina , i really appreciate you trying to help , but my situation with damian is completely different than that of patrick and dr. westbourne 's . for one , damian and i were in love . he trusted me , and i violated that trust . sabrina : you 're not the only one who 's made a mistake . look , i was there , remember ? i was your nurse the night you got hit by that car . and i 'll never forget trying to reach spinelli over and over , and he would n't pick up . why ? ellie : [ sighs ] because he was having intercourse with maxie . sabrina : while you were in the hospital alone and paralyzed . okay , look , i 'm sorry . i know -- i know that this is none of my business , but you forgave spinelli . should n't he be able to do the same thing for you ? ellie : while damian 's actions hurt me terribly , sabrina , this is so much bigger than that . and it 's not just about the two of us . it 's about maxie and her baby , too . britt : my mother was here for the nurses ' ball . she even helped me get ready for my big announcement . but we were n't conspiring against you . we were conspiring , if you can even call it that , to use this baby as -- as a way that i could get you back . i was in love with you , patrick , and my mother knew that , and so she encouraged me to give you the big news . patrick : [ scoffs ] `` give `` the big news ? no , no , you dropped it like an atomic bomb in public , in front of everybody when i 'm honoring my dead wife . britt : my mother believes in making a statement . patrick : is attempted murder a statement , also ? britt : okay , i told you i did n't know about that ! patrick : oh , but you knew enough to let her go , britt . you knew enough to be questioned by the police . my god ! you 're eight months pregnant with my baby ! britt : i 'm aware ! patrick : are you aware of that ? because this is n't the action of expectant mothers ! if it was n't for nikolas and all his money , you would have woken up in jail this morning ! do you understand that ? ! britt : but i did n't ! patrick : no , but you could have ! and that 's the point , because your mother is dangerous ! no , she 's a lethal woman ! britt : and that 's my fault ? patrick : it is if you choose to have any connection with her at all in any capacity ! so , let me be clear about this . your mother will never come near my son . i will make sure of that . do you understand ? alexis : uh , well , if you have something to tell us , we 're all ears . sam : oh , god , no , no . please do n't tell me you 've changed your mind . derek : what ? oh , no , no . i would never -- i would never change my mind on something so important . i ... alexis : all right , well , then what is it ? derek : uh ... look , i - i just wanted to say that , um ... [ chuckles ] i just wanted to say that i hope that dr. clay gives me the , uh , green light . it would be an honor and a privilege to save your son 's life . sam : thank you so much . you -- you have no idea how grateful i am . i wish there was some way that i could repay you . derek : well , danny living a long , happy life would be ... enough . sam : well , i am so sorry i jumped to conclusions . i just -- i 'm a little anxious right now . derek : yeah , well , me , too , kiddo . me , too . sam : hey , mom , i , uh , i want to go find silas . would you mind watching danny for a little bit ? alexis : oh , yeah , sure . come here . come here , sweet pea . oh , that 's a good boy . sam : okay . i 'll be back . alexis : [ sighs ] [ door opens ] [ door closes ] derek : [ clears throat ] alexis : so ... i 'm sorry . i do n't have the manual for small talk with my grandson 's donor . derek : oh , well , i 'll lend you mine . [ both laugh ] alexis : excellent . derek : he 's a cute kid . alexis : thank you . derek : what is that ? alexis : what ? derek : are you investigating me ? sabrina : what you say maxie 's baby , you mean dante and lulu 's , right ? ellie : right . yeah , of course . no , i should have said maxie and the baby . anyway ... before i fell in love with damian , i was always so ethical . i knew the difference between right and wrong , and i would have never lied or resorted to treachery of any sort . sabrina : well , something obviously had to happen to change that . ellie : i overheard a conversation between maxie and her father in which she strongly indicated she was hiding something . sabrina : about the pregnancy ? ellie : i could n't stop thinking about it . i even convinced myself that it was my duty to uncover the truth and that i was pursuing said truth for the most noble reason . you know , that -- that dante and lulu deserved to know if something was wrong with their child . sabrina : well , they do deserve to know . ellie : maybe . but ... it got so that i did n't even recognize myself anymore . do you know what i did ? i tricked damian into helping me hack into the medical database of the hospital , all so that i could access maxie 's records . sabrina : wow . ellie : i know . tell me about it . i completely broke my own code of ethics . sabrina : look , yes , but ... [ sighs ] is n't it -- is n't it justified when , as you said , you were doing it to protect dante and lulu ? ellie : [ sighs ] that 's the thing , sabrina . when -- now that i have a chance to look back and examine my actions , i do n't ... i do n't know if my intentions were nearly so pure . i think -- i think i did what i did because ... i was just jealous of maxie . mac : maxie , i need to know . are you aware the baby is n't yours ? maxie : [ sighs ] of course i am . i carried that little girl for dante and lulu . she 's -- she 's not mine or spinelli 's . mac : okay . okay . good . i knew in my gut it was just some post - op confusion , but i just had to make sure . spinelli : [ sighs ] maxie : thanks for looking out for me , mac . mac : [ chuckles ] always . maxie : so , um ... where 's the baby now ? mac : uh , nicu . maxie : i thought she was fine . mac : she is . she is . just a precaution because she arrived early . i checked on her myself . she 's 100 % healthy and right where she belongs -- with her mother . lulu : did mom call you ? nikolas : yeah , she did , from the airport . i 'm kind of upset about it . i could have sent her back to paris on a private jet . lulu : you know she likes to take care of things when she can . nikolas : i 'm just grateful she elected to go back when she did . lulu : why ? are the doctors worried about her ? nikolas : oh , no , it 's just her annual checkup is -- it 's important , and she 'd already put it off for a month . i 'm just glad that i did n't have to pressure her . lulu : you 're welcome . nikolas : you convinced her to go ? lulu : yeah . with an assist from my dad . [ voice breaking ] he always knows how to get through to her . nikolas : lulu , what 's wrong ? lulu : i think i 'm having an emotional reaction to new motherhood . nikolas : no . lulu : yeah , they -- they say that that can happen on -- nikolas : lulu , you got emotional about luke . lulu : he 's sick . he could be dying . britt : are you threatening me ? patrick : stating a fact . britt : my mother would never hurt her own grandchild . patrick : do you know that ? really ? because i do n't . and if she 's working with a man like faison , she 's capable of doing anything . britt : this is insane . patrick : no . your mother is insane . she lost her medical license for doing unspeakable things to patients . and to me , that is worse than faison , except faison is in jail . your mother 's free to run around and hurt anybody , including me or anybody connected to robin , and that is on you . britt : me ? patrick : you . you let her walk away . britt : she 's my mother , patrick ! patrick : i do n't care ! i will not risk my baby around her ! britt : and i would ? ! patrick : if you let him get near that psychopath , yes , you will . britt : he 's my baby , too . patrick : not if i have anything to do with it . britt : what the hell is that supposed to mean ? patrick : i 'm gon na fight for full custody to my baby . britt : you ca n't have full custody . i 'm the mother . patrick : yeah , but your mother tried to murder someone -- two someones , actually -- connected to my family . britt : how many times do i have to tell you , patrick , i am not responsible for my mother 's actions ! patrick : you 're right , britt . you 're not . but you are responsible for the safety of your child . britt : she lives in europe , for god 's sake ! i rarely see her ! patrick : wow . see , that 's -- that 's really strange , because she 's been here with you twice in the last six months . britt : fine ! patrick : [ scoffs ] britt : but i still maintain that she 's not a threat ! patrick : oh , my god . britt : but i will keep my baby and my mother apart , okay ? ! what ? ! patrick : it 's unbelievable to me ! you actually expect me to trust you when you 've lied about absolutely everything ! britt : maybe you are not understanding me , patrick . i am the mother . i have legal rights . patrick : i 'll arrange for supervised visits . britt : supervised visits ? ! patrick : i can not risk my baby 's safety when your mother has any chance of being anywhere near it . britt : i can not believe this is happening . patrick : i do n't trust you , britt , and i will do anything to keep my baby safe . do you understand ? britt : even full custody ? ! patrick : full custody . yes . britt : well , you 're not gon na get it . sabrina : jealousy is a killer . trust me . i 've been there . ellie : damian was in love with maxie for years , and even though he chose me , those feelings of insecurity never really went away . sabrina : and i 'm sure what happened on new year 's eve did n't help . ellie : [ sighs ] exactly . i just wanted so badly to prove to him that he made the right choice , you know , that -- that i was the right choice . and i just thought that if i could show him ... sabrina : by uncovering what maxie was hiding . ellie : [ sighs ] i just wish i never found out . sabrina : did you confront her about it ? ellie : yeah . and somehow she convinced me to keep it a secret , too , even though i knew it was so , so wrong . [ scoffs ] and now the very lie that i told damian to hold on to his love is -- is the reason that i lost it . [ footsteps approach ] sam : hey , there . spinelli : gracious greetings . sam : what 's with you ? spinelli : n - nothing . um ... how 's young daniel ? sam : he 's gon na be okay . spinelli : i am most confident in that , as well . sam : no , no , spinelli , really . danny 's gon na be okay . we found a donor . [ chuckles ] it 's a miracle . yeah . spinelli : i 'm not sure if it 's a miracle . you know , young danny has a remarkable capacity to endure ... just like his dad . i ca n't tell you -- i - i have n't had a thing to smile about today , so thank you so much for changing that . [ chuckles ] sam : what are you talking about ? what about maxie ? i heard she gave birth to a beautiful baby girl . spinelli : yeah , it 's wonderful news , indeed , for -- for dante and lulu . sam : hey , are you sure you 're okay ? spinelli : you know , ellie and i hit , uh , hit a rough patch , so to speak , so ... sam : oh . well , i 'm sorry to hear that . spinelli : i - i am , too . but that 's nothing for you to worry about . you have much more important and joyous things to focus on . sam : finally . spinelli : i 'm so happy for you . sam : yes , actually , but i 'm -- i 'm not completely out of the woods yet . we still need confirmation that the surgery 's gon na happen . i was , um , looking for -- for dr. clay . have you seen him ? spinelli : no , but go , go , go . i 'm seeking answers myself , so ... sam : okay . [ sighs ] okay . spinelli : [ sighs ] mac : one giant vanilla milkshake coming up . maxie : [ chuckles ] uh , 2 % milk , please . mac : you got it . maxie : [ groans ] nikolas : god , lulu , i - i ... i do n't even know -- i do n't even know what to say to you right now , 'cause i - i 've always thought of luke as invincible , you know ? lulu : yeah , you and me both . [ sniffles ] nikolas : yeah . so , what 's going -- is he in any pain or ... lulu : not that he shared with me , but , uh , once i knew , i could see it . he looks really , really weak . he does n't look like himself . nikolas : yeah , well ... lulu : [ voice breaking ] i 'm really scared . nikolas : i know , i know , but if anyone -- anyone -- can find their way out of this , trust me , my money is on your father . lulu : were you always this terrible of a liar ? nikolas : i - i guess . lulu , i 'm sorry . lulu : [ sniffles ] it 's just been , like , this whirlwind . you know , one second i am welcoming my daughter into the world ... and the next , i 'm with my dad and i 'm saying what might be goodbye . i - i do n't know -- i do n't know what to do . i do n't know how to feel . nikolas : i know . i know you do n't . but all i can say is just try and focus on the positive right now . that 's all you can do . lulu : yeah , well , she makes that part easy . [ chuckles ] nikolas : [ chuckles ] lulu : what ? nikolas : nothing . it 's just ... i 'm just -- i 'm thankful that most of my family members are ... are dead . for once , we ca n't blame this on the cassadines , right ? right ? lulu , no . come on . really ? lulu : it was helena . nikolas : how ? lulu : she got to him before he killed her . she switched out his earring with one that had traces of polonium-210 . nikolas : radiation poisoning ? lulu : i mean , you got to give helena props , right ? she 's creative . she is thorough . it 's -- it 's ironic , is n't it , that after all these decades , [ voice breaking ] my father finally feels free of her and meanwhile , helena may have done him in . nikolas : come here . i 'm sorry . i 'm so sorry . lulu : [ sighs ] alexis : i 'm an attorney . i come by paranoia naturally . derek : hmm . so , um ... you were investigating me . alexis : no . not -- not at all . i - i was just curious about the man who 's giving my grandson his dna . derek : i see . you , um , find anything you do n't like in that file ? alexis : no . besides , what would it matter , really ? i mean , would it really matter if you were hiding any deep , dark secrets ? derek : [ chuckles ] it might . alexis : i 'm intrigued . so , what is your deep , dark secret ? [ door opens ] sam : mom . alexis : sam . sam : hey . alexis : anything from silas ? sam : no , but his nurse did say that he was on his way . we should know any minute now if we are all clear . derek : [ sighs ] mac : spinelli . maxie 's awake and on the mend . even requesting a vanilla milkshake . spinelli : i am most eager to visit with her . mac : oh , i know she 'd be happy to see you . come on . maxie , you got a visitor . maxie ? lulu : [ sighs ] i do n't want to leave her right now . nikolas : i know , but she 's fast asleep , and you really need a break . [ door closes ] maxie : [ groans ] [ sighs ] ellie : [ sniffles ] i should have never kept the truth from damian . sabrina : look , i do n't know all the details , but it sounds like to me your biggest fault is how much you love spinelli . ellie : more than anything . sabrina : and that is n't wrong . but love sometimes makes us do crazy things . i speak from experience . ellie : [ sniffles ] you 've compromised your principles for love ? sabrina : [ scoffs ] you were there , remember ? when we tested britt 's dna sample without her consent ? [ scoffs ] i still ca n't believe the baby turned out to be patrick 's . britt : do you hear me ? you will never get full custody of this baby . patrick : we 'll see . expect a call from my lawyer and soon , before you -- britt : patrick , you are making a big mistake . patrick : no , i 'm protecting my son . britt : he 's not your son !
molly marvels at the miracle that a complete stranger is a match for danny . julian tells ava that he is going to tell sam that he is her father . molly and rafe introduce themselves to derek . derek meets danny and instantly falls in love . he sees a photo of himself and asks alexis if she is investigating him . she says she was n't really investigating ; she was just curious about him .
carlos : sabrina ? julian : you 're in a mood . pregnancy hormones , or you worried about our boss ? ava : now , do n't be smug , julian . if ... not - luke turns on me , he 'll go after my entire family . what makes you think he 'll stop with kiki ? he could just as easily make your son and daughter his targets . julian : i tried to warn you . man 's no one to mess with . ava : yes , fine , julian . you warned me , and i did n't listen . i brought this all down on myself . it does n't change the fact that he 's a threat to us both . julian : well , all you had to do was take out corinthos iii just like the man asked . ava : and clear the way for that pervert to sexually harass my daughter again ? not a chance in hell . julian : well , then , you 're right back to where you started . you have to give our boss something he wants more than he wants michael dead . evidence against sonny . ava : i 'm trying . just have to get franco to play ball . silas : franco , wait up . hey , i 'm talking to you . franco : yeah , i can hear you . silas : you share this attitude with your art students ? franco : uh , no , i 'm interested in my art students . you , not so much . silas : well , do n't worry . things are gon na get real interesting . i need to talk to you . franco : silas , what could you and i possibly have to talk about . silas : let 's talk about nina . nina : it was serendipity . i need an ob / gyn , and my instant cousin just happens to be one . britt : [ chuckles ] well , i 'm glad you thought of me . nina : well , you get extra points if you tell me i 'm pregnant . britt : do you have reason to believe you might be expecting ? nina : two reasons . last night and this morning . nikolas : you think i chose britt ? elizabeth : well , did n't you ? nikolas : i told her that i still have feelings for you . elizabeth : i 'm sorry . what ? nikolas : i made it absolutely clear to britt that i still have feelings for you . dante : unknown . [ cell phone rings ] dante : falconeri . lulu : dante . oh , my god , dante , it 's me . dante : lulu ? lulu , lulu , is that you ? lulu : yeah . how 's my baby ? how 's rocco ? dante : uh , rocco 's fine . he 's fine . are you okay ? nathan : is maxie with her ? dante : hang on , hang on . hey , uh , i got you on speakerphone . can you hear me ? uh , i got nathan here . is maxie with you ? maxie : i 'm here ! i 'm fine ! dante : `` here `` ? where 's here ? where are you guys ? no touching the prisoner ! carlos : it 's not her fault . we have n't seen each other in months . and we could end this little reunion right now . you feel me , bro ? carlos : i hear you . we 're cool . sabrina : i 'm so sorry . carlos : no , it 's not your fault , querida . sabrina : are you okay ? he was really hostile . carlos : they 're all like that . do n't worry about it . sabrina : but you 're sure you 're okay ? carlos : seeing you makes it all worthwhile . you keep me going in here . the dream of what our life could have been . sorry . how 's everything , hmm ? how 's the baby ? no . sabrina : [ sobs ] carlos : no . no , no , no . sabrina : my baby died . dante : any idea where they 're holding you ? lulu : i do n't know . it 's a house . dante : a house ? what kind of house ? lulu : it 's not big or small . there 's nothing really distinctive about it . nathan : i 'm gon na start a trace . dante : uh , any idea where this house is located ? lulu : we were blindfolded . maxie : he drove us for about an hour and then dragged us inside and tied us up . dante : and where 's levi right now ? lulu : he got upset . he stormed out . he forgot his phone . maxie was able to kick it over to me . dante : what set him off ? maxie : he seemed really tense , and he kept saying all this personal stuff about my mom . i do n't understand how my mom has anything to do with this . dante : that 's the thing . we may have found a connection with that . we found scribner , levi 's buddy , in the cabin . he was shot . maxie : that was levi ! he shot scribner right in front of us ! dante : right , that 's what he said . anyway , scribner 's alive . he said dunkleman 's name is an alias . his real name is peter harrell . maxie : is that supposed to mean something or something ? dante : no , not really . but -- but look , your mother was engaged to be married to a guy named peter harrell 30 years ago , but he was a con man , okay ? all he wanted was felicia 's aztec jewelry . maxie : he played her just like levi played me . lulu : okay , dante , we do n't have much time . levi could come back any minute . nathan : i need more time . keep them on the line . dante : okay , we got to keep you on the phone a few more minutes , okay ? anything -- anything you can remember about -- can you see anything out the window , anything levi might have said to you ? maxie : he was leaving messages for somebody , but they wo n't call him back ! uh , he wo n't tell us what he 's waiting for . lulu : maxie tried to convince him to let me go , and he said that i 'm as much a part of this as maxie . do you know what that means ? nikolas : i - i know it 's unrealistic , maybe , to think that you and i have a chance . the truth is ... the truth is ... i 've never stopped being in love with you . i - i love you . i - i know -- i know that our -- that our timing has always been awful , but my feelings for you right now are as strong as they 've ever been . you know , there 's always been people and -- and problems in our way , and as far as i know , there always will be . but the other night when i was with britt , i could n't lie to her about my feelings for you . when things are bad like this , we always find each other . we always run to each other . ple -- elizabeth : you 're a royal jackass ! britt : so , you 're confirming a home pregnancy test ? nina : oh , come on . those things are never reliable . at least they never used to be . um , no , i thought it best to go to a doctor , and it gave me a great chance to introduce myself to you . britt : well , i 'm glad you did . and i 'll try any way i can to help you . so , symptoms . you said something happened last night and this morning to think you believe you might be pregnant . nina : mm - hmm . i made love to my husband . of course . how else do you get pregnant ? franco : you want to talk about nina ? what do you want to know ? silas : nina 's been going to your art therapy classes . franco : yes , she has . so what ? silas : so , i do n't like you , i do n't trust you , i do n't trust your history of violent psychosis . franco : you 're a doctor . you of all people should know the tumor made me do that . silas : yeah , i 've heard that one before . you 're not the first crazy person to claim they were cured and they were n't . so , just so you know , i 'll be watching you . franco : okay , i 'll keep that in mind . anything else ? silas : nina told me that , um , the art therapy classes have been helping her . franco : great . i 'm happy to be appreciated . silas : yeah . it 's really nice , but the thing is , you see , to go to your classes , she 's been skipping out of physical therapy . franco : right . [ laughs ] yeah . we ca n't have that , can we ? silas : i 'm sorry . is something funny ? ava : if carly has a copy of that recording , then franco is my best bet . julian : yeah , but franco refuses to cooperate , which means you 're hoping to placate our boss with information you do n't actually have . ava : what 's the alternative ? and please do n't say kill michael . i am not gon na make it easier for not - luke to get his hands on my daughter . julian : while i appreciate your maternal instincts , you do n't appear to have many options left . ava : well , i 'll just have to persuade the boss that leaving michael alive ... [ cell phone rings ] ava : ... and waiting for that evidence against sonny will work to his advantage . julian : well , now is your chance . this is him . it 's now or never , sis . nikolas : i just told you that i loved you , and your response is to call me a jackass . elizabeth : a royal jackass , figuratively and literally . nikolas : oh , no , no . no , no . hold on . did i misinterpret our recent closeness , the conversations , you know , the long pauses , you looking into my eyes ? did you mean any of that ? elizabeth : what ? now you 're all offended ? nikolas : i -- [ sighs ] i did n't think that my gesture would be unwelcome . elizabeth : unwelcome ? nikolas , you just professed your love as if you only have eyes for me , and we both know that 's not true . if i had n't called the other night with news about lulu , you would have slept with britt . nikolas : that 's true . yes . elizabeth : yes . that 's right . that 's true . well , you know what ? part of me wishes that i had n't made that phone call , because then you would have slept with britt and i could finally put this to rest ... for good . britt : so , you 've been having regular sexual relations with your husband ? nina : oh , i wish . i wish . no , it 's a little more complicated than that since i arrived in port charles . see , i was sick , but i was in a coma . i do n't know if that qualifies being sick . but last night was the first time in over 23 years i made love to my husband , and it was amazing . it was so amazing , just like i remembered . britt : i 'm happy for you . unfortunately , given the timing , there 's no way to ascertain if you 're pregnant at this point . technically , you -- you would n't even be pregnant yet . nina : no , no , i can feel it . i have that feeling right here . i - i can feel it , just like i did the first time i was pregnant . britt : oh , so you 've been pregnant before ? nina : oh , yeah , i 've been pregnant before , but i miscarried thanks to my mom . your mom 's sister . britt : i guess crazy runs in the family . nina : mm - hmm . my mom stole a baby from silas and me . that 's why it 's so important that i have another one to take its place . silas : where 's the humor in nina missing physical therapy ? franco : you 're right . there -- there is n't any humor in that . silas : okay . so , if you care about her , please encourage her to do physical therapy , as well , unless you want her spending the rest of her days in a wheelchair . franco : no . [ laughs ] no , i do n't want that . nobody wants that . silas : you seem to be amusing yourself . franco : [ laughs ] silas : am i missing something ? nina : listen , i - i know another baby is n't gon na take the place of the one i lost , but it ... it will fill the void that i have . i want to be a mom so bad . britt : um , unfortunately , it is way too early to get a definitive answer , but you clearly want to conceive , so why do n't we do a checkup , and i 'll run some tests just to make sure everything 's on the up and up . nina : okay . thank you . i appreciate that . i know it 's gon na work out . i have a feeling . after all , if ava jerome can have a baby , why ca n't i have a baby ? [ cell phone ringing ] ava : why is the boss calling ? julian : if i had to wager , he 's probably noticed the distinct lack of quartermaine obits in the paper . ava : send it to voicemail . julian : sorry , ava , that 's a bad move . the man is a real bunny boiler . trust me . he wo n't be ignored . [ ringing continues ] ava : hello ? yes , yes , it 's ava . how nice that you recognize my voice . i 'm so glad you rang . i was thinking you and i should have a chat . i have a proposition for you . carlos : i do n't understand . the -- the last thing i heard , the baby was doing fine . he was getting stronger . sabrina : he was . i even named him . gabriel . carlos : the angel . sabrina : he caught an infection that he was n't able to fight off . he was n't strong enough . he died in my arms . carlos : oh , querida . i ... lo siento mucho . sabrina : thank you . but honestly , i 'm the one who should apologize . that 's why i 'm here . i 'm so sorry , carlos . dante : i do n't know why levi would say that you were involved except , uh ... lulu : except what ? dante : well , when anna told us about the original theft of the aztec jewelry , it was mostly involving felicia and frisco , but i guess luke and laura were involved , as well . lulu : my parents were part of this ? dante : especially your father . i - i do n't know . i 'm trying to figure out how it 's all connected . [ door opens ] dante : lulu ? [ door closes ] dante : lulu ? levi : well , this is unfortunate . carlos : you have nothing to apologize for . sabrina : i wish that were true . carlos : it is true , sabrina . you 've done nothing wrong . sabrina : when i came to see you at the police station before they sent you here ... i blamed you for what happened to gabriel , for the accident , that he was born too soon . i made it all your fault . ava : if i had asked you to do something ... nefarious for me and i warned you that there would be consequences if you revealed the truth to anybody , would n't i have been justified in taking action ? sabrina : you swore on my baby 's life that you had nothing to do with aj quartermaine 's murder . and then you confessed to killing him , so i blamed you , as if my child had to pay some karmic debt , some divine retribution . carlos : i never wanted you or your child involved in any of this . sabrina : i 'll never understand how you were capable of taking a life . the thought of it still shakes me to my core . but blaming you for what happened to gabriel , it was wrong . i know that now . carlos , it was n't your fault . i know who was responsible for the accident . ava : i was fully prepared to take out michael corinthos , and then it dawned on me , why antagonize sonny ? oh , of course . of course it 's your call . i just think until we have all of our ducks in a row at elq , the last thing we need is sonny making trouble for you . besides , i have an in with michael through my daughter . i 'm sure you remember her . well , kiki is our way to michael , and michael obviously is our way into elq . no . i am not trying to get out of eliminating him . i just think that there is a better move that we could make against sonny . oh , i do indeed . and i have no doubt that it will send sonny to prison for the rest of his life . nina : god willing , i do n't have to be in my chair much longer . i feel like my legs are getting stronger and stronger every day . britt : well , you do n't want to push it . i read your chart , and you have a long recovery ahead of you . nina : well , i know , but i refuse to spend my entire pregnancy in a wheelchair . britt : let 's see what the blood work says first , okay ? will you run this down to the lab and put a rush on it ? nurse : absolutely . britt : okay . should we start your exam ? nina : can i ask you a personal question ? do you have any children ? nikolas : you wish i had slept with britt ? elizabeth : you wanted to . nikolas : [ chuckles ] you know , it 's -- it 's been a long time since i 've been with anyone . elizabeth : [ laughs ] please . how long ? nikolas : [ chuckles ] really ? uh ... march . elizabeth : [ scoffs ] march ? you want to have that competition ? before ric , i was celibate for about a year , and before aj , probably two years . nikolas : i respect your personal choices , but what bearing does that have on anything ? ! elizabeth : this is more than just my morality . did you have any idea how hard it is to plan a romantic evening while raising kids ? nikolas : yes , i do . elizabeth : without nannies or butlers or servants ? you know , sex is n't food or water , nikolas . one can get by . nikolas : that 's not what i meant , and you know it ! elizabeth : then what did you mean ? because obviously britt is more than just a one - night stand . you have feelings for her . nikolas : elizabeth , i have never claimed to be indifferent to britt . elizabeth : great . more power to you both . and britt may be okay sleeping with you after you 've told her that you have feelings for me , but i have more respect than to make you that same offer . nina : i 'm sorry . i do n't mean to pry . i just wanted to know if you had kids . they would be my family , too . britt : it 's complicated . um , i gave birth to a baby , but i had to give him up . nina : oh , i 'm so sorry . i - i do n't want to bring up painful memories for you . britt : no , it 's -- it 's -- it 's fine . i mean , it 's not fine . it 's just something that i 'm having to accept . giving him up was the hardest thing i 've ever had to do . nina : why 'd you have to give him up ? britt : he was n't mine . nina : you were a surrogate ? britt : no . um , i should n't get into this , so ... nina : dr. westbourne -- britt . we 're family . you can tell me anything . britt : i stole an embryo that did n't belong to me in a crazy attempt to hold on to a guy . if you do n't want me as your doctor , i understand . i 'm sure you think i 'm a horrible person . nina : oh , no . i do n't think you 're a horrible person at all . people do desperate things to get what they want . franco : okay , look , i feel like art can be as healing as medicine . you 're a man of science . you 're not gon na see eye to eye with me on that one . and look , nina 's your wife . you want to spend all that money on physical therapy , knock yourself out . it 's just i do n't feel that that 's necessarily what nina needs right now . silas : [ chuckles ] franco : that 's all . silas : yeah . you know what she needs . franco : well , you 'd be surprised what i know about your wife . dante : lulu ! levi : so sorry to disappoint the boys in blue . but maxie and lulu ca n't come to the phone right now . could i take a message ? dante : [ sighs ] okay , look , levi , uh , let 's not let this escalate any further than it already has , okay ? we can work something out here . levi : oh , so it 's `` we `` now ? dante : man , you do n't need maxie and lulu , okay ? you have everything you want . levi : you know nothing about what i want ! dante : why do n't you tell me ? why do n't you tell me what this is all about ? what 's the endgame for you ? levi : you want me to confide in you , detective ? too bad . dante : you keep -- you keep going on this , man , you 're just gon na keep digging a deeper hole for yourself . levi : all you get to know is that maxie and lulu are staying with me . dante : okay , look , and all you get to know is if anything happens to maxie or lulu , you do n't live to see your own trial ! levi : you do n't think i know that you 're tracing this call ? ! say goodbye , ladies . lulu : dante , i love you ! dante : no , no , do n't hang up . do n't hang up ! [ line disconnects ] dante : levi ! levi ! nikolas : i can assure you i was n't about to ask you to sleep with me . elizabeth : well , that 's good , 'cause i would n't have . nikolas : [ chuckles ] look , i was in the heat of the moment . my sister was abducted , okay ? i was worried . i turned to you . so what ? elizabeth : that 's the problem with us . we are always doing things in the heat of the moment or when something 's about to go wrong or -- or one of us is gon na move on . nikolas : okay , just so i 'm clear . where do we stand on that ? hmm ? i declared my love for you . you chose aj . you declared your love for me just as i was about to announce my engagement to britt . then you chose ric . and then he died . and just as recently as our meal at kelly 's , you 're back to me . and excuse me , but apparently because i even considered sleeping with britt ... you do n't want me yet again . elizabeth : because i do n't want to be with somebody in just the bad times . i want somebody there in the good times , even the boring times . i want somebody who thinks that love is exciting enough . nikolas : what is that -- is that really what you think of me ? really ? elizabeth : this was a mistake . we should not be getting into this . nikolas : elizabeth , we 're already into it , okay ? and i will say my piece . you just gave -- you just gave me a detailed list of my apparent failings . elizabeth : not now , nikolas , let 's not do this right now . nikolas : please do n't do this to me again . please ! elizabeth : i do n't -- you 're gon na wake the baby . nikolas : i 'm not gon na wake the da -- rocco : [ crying ] dante : all i had to do was keep him talking ! nathan : he knew we were tracing the call . dante : i know , i know ! but i just had to keep him on the phone and not make stupid threats like i did . nathan : this is how he operates ! i lived with the guy ! i know ! he pissed me off , made me play his game ! dante : then maybe you should have talked to him . maybe you 'd have more luck than i did . nathan : dante , he is scared , all right ? i heard it . i could hear it in his voice . dante : so what ? ! so what ? ! it does n't get us any closer to finding maxie and lulu ! nathan : he almost lost it when you told him he had everything he wanted ! dante : i noticed that , too , but all that means is now he 's gon na panic and do something stupid to the girls . nathan : no , he needs them for something . that makes them valuable . dante : for how long ? for how long ? that was it . that was our chance . that was our lead , that call right there , and that was it . [ computer beeps ] nathan : and it paid off . i think you kept him on the phone just long enough . we got a hit . levi : not smart , ladies . call the boys in blue ? you just made things much more difficult . maxie : for you . the police are on to you , peter . levi : the name 's levi . maxie : no . see , your buddy scribner ratted you out . turns out , your name is peter harrell , just like the guy that my mom was engaged to before she met my dad . lulu : peter harrell , the thief who went after the aztec treasure 30 years ago . maxie : is that what this is ? some lame vendetta ? i mean , your dad lied to my mom , so you feel justified in lying to me ? what am i talking about ? your dad was gon na marry my mom just like you were gon na marry me . you know what ? i 'd much rather be your hostage than your wife . lulu : it 's obvious this loser 's plan is starting to unravel . is n't it , petey ? levi : you 're both quite proud of yourselves , are n't you ? thinking you 've got this all figured out . once upon a time , my father put a ring on your mother to get his hands on a fortune . but thanks to your parents -- and yours -- he wound up a fugitive , as good as dead . what goes around comes around , girls . you just watch . carlos : rafe kovich ? sabrina : yeah . carlos : who is that ? sabrina : silas clay 's nephew . carlos : you 're sure he was responsible ? sabrina : rafe admitted it . carlos : you talked to this kid ? he confessed to you ? sabrina : [ sighs ] no . he passed away while i was recovering in puerto rico . carlos : so it 's possible it was n't him . sabrina : patrick hired sam morgan to investigate . they confirmed that rafe was the one driving the car that forced us off the road . carlos : i do n't understand . how did this happen ? sabrina : we do n't know much , but the only thing that rafe said before he passed away was that ... [ sighs ] he intentionally forced us off the road because somebody told him to . carlos : now it all makes sense . sabrina : how ? ava : you see , i knew you 'd prefer this option . the proof ? the proof is somewhere safe . it 'll just take me a little while to retrieve it . well , if it were easy to get to , then sonny could get it back himself , and we would n't want that , would we ? understood . we 'll speak soon . [ sighs ] julian : he thinks you 're stalling . ava : no . i 'm pretty sure i managed to convince him otherwise . julian : for now . but the man hates sonny with the fire of a thousand suns . he 's not gon na wait much longer to get his hands on that evidence . so what is your plan ? ava : i do n't know . i kidnapped franco , and he would n't budge . julian : where are you going ? ava : to find franco . silas : you got something to say about nina , let 's hear it . franco : no , i got nothing to say . okay , look , nina and i , we were stuck for a long time in that elevator . i feel like you get to know somebody when you 're stuck in close quarters like that , that 's all . silas : oh , do tell . is there an insight you 'd like to share ? franco : [ sighs ] for starters , she seems pretty intent on having your baby . nina : what 'd the test say ? britt : this is extraordinary . in all my years as a doctor , i 've never seen anything like this . you 're pregnant . nina : i am ? britt : i do n't even know how , but , i mean , the test results are conclusive . nina : it does n't matter how . oh , my god . i 'm pregnant . this is extraordinary . i 'm having silas ' baby . oh , my god . oh , britt , thank you . thank you so much . britt : i did n't do anything . this is a miracle . nina : speaking of miracles ... [ sighs ] thank you . britt : nina ? did you hear what i said ? nina : what ? britt : i said i 'm sorry . the tests indicate that you 're already in menopause . you ca n't conceive a child . nina : menopause ? what ? [ chuckles ] i 'm way too young . britt : this does n't have anything to do with your age . the tests indicate that you 're in early onset menopause . nina : [ exhales ] why is this happening to me ? britt : well , i ca n't pinpoint a reason without more extensive tests , but a lot of factors could have contributed . you were comatose for more than 20 years , which took a serious toll on your body . i 'm so sorry , nina . i know how important this was to you . nina : no . no , you do n't . elizabeth : finally he 's asleep . nikolas : healthy set of lungs . elizabeth : must get them from his uncle . nikolas : we need to finish our conversation . elizabeth : can you tell me you feel nothing for britt ? nikolas : just -- elizabeth : then we have nothing to talk about . nikolas : [ sighs ] elizabeth : i have everything covered here . i 'm sure you need to get back to the station to get some updates on your sister . nikolas : i do n't want to leave things like this . come on . elizabeth : well , neither do i , but nothing is gon na change right now . nikolas : okay . maxie : is that what this is about ? you blame my parents for what happened to your dad , so you kidnapped me ? what 's the point ? levi : [ chuckles ] you 'll find out when i 'm good and ready . lulu : do n't bother , maxie . he 's stalling . he obviously does n't know what he 's gon na do next . levi : the hell i do n't . maxie : i 'm so sorry for dragging you into this , lulu . lulu : please stop apologizing . maxie : no , if i had been paying attention to what the universe was trying to tell me , i would have seen the actual cosmic message they were trying to send me the night i left on that unfortunate eat , pray , love trip . lulu : which was ? maxie : hello . nathan on my doorstep the night i left , so kind and shy . lulu : and gorgeous . maxie : and that , too . not that i 'm not pretending to be enlightened . i can actually admit that nathan is the hottest guy i have ever met in my life . i mean , he is like 10 kajillion times sexier than peter harrell or whatever this loser 's name is . lulu : is kajillion actually a number ? i mean , not that i do n't agree with the sentiment . levi : if you do n't shut up , i 'm gon na bring the gags back out again . maxie : anyway , so i open the door , and nathan is standing there just so shy and sensitive . and he tells me that he 's my subletter , so i show him around , and i tell him i 'm leaving town because my life is a disaster and i need to find myself , and he tells me to stay . lulu : you did not tell me this ! maxie : because he does n't know anyone in port charles and do i really need to leave town to find myself ? i mean , ca n't i do that in my own home ? lulu : and you left anyway ? levi : i 'm serious . i 'm gon na put the gags back on . lulu : will you shut up ? maxie is having an actual moment of clarity here . maxie : so now that i think about it , nathan was probably my sign from the universe . but instead of staying in port charles , as usual , i listen to myself and i went on my terrible eat , pray , love trip . and what do i bring back ? him . this vile , disgusting , lying pig . sorry . second - generation pig , since it turns out your father was just as vile as you are . but you know what the worst part is , lulu ? i could n't see the incredibly amazing , astonishing thing that literally landed on my doorstep . and , you know , that i got you involved in this , too . lulu : no , no , no . you did n't . the lying , disgusting pig has a grudge against my parents , too . maxie : is that the plan , levi ? to make lulu pay ? i mean , who else have you planned on taking out your father 's revenge on ? levi : oh , lulu has quite a different fate in store for her . lulu : what are you saying ? [ computer beeps ] nathan : we got it . dante : okay , good . i just talked to anna . we got clearance . we can set up our own team and take whoever we want . nathan : perfect timing . we triangulated the hit , and the location 's about 50 miles southeast . let 's go . dante : hernandez , lawson , suit up . we 're heading out . lulu : what do you want with me ? maxie : lulu has n't done anything to you . i mean , neither have i , for that matter , but i believe you 're my karmic punishment for a lot of other really bad things i 've done . levi : do either of you ever stop talking ? ! lulu : you know , he really does sound nervous . maxie : he 's way past nervous . he 's flat out scared . levi : your boyfriends were tracing the call . we need to get out of here before the cops show up . britt : i realize this is a shock . nina : yeah , i 'm shocked to find out i 'm in menopause , that i basically slept through any chance to bear a child . i ... britt : this is the number of my colleague , dr. collins . if you need to talk to someone , i - i encourage you give him a call . he 's terrific . nina : can i have a moment , please ? britt : of course . i 'll have the orderly come in , in a few minutes . [ door opens ] silas : let me get this straight . the night you were stuck in the elevator with nina , she told you she wanted to have a child ? franco : it 's all she talked about nonstop . she had this romantic evening planned for the two of you , and it was ruined because she was stuck in an elevator with me . silas : she told you ? franco : yeah . me . she cares about you , silas . and she 's willing to go to great lengths to show you . but for the life of me , i ca n't figure out why after you screwed around with dear , old ava . ava : franco is working at the hospital now . i 'll talk it over with him there . julian : are you seriously gon na leave the safety of this apartment again ? ava : the guards will protect me . julian : to what end ? i mean , you have to know that sonny has the place under surveillance . so let 's just say for the sake of argument that sonny 's people are n't ready to grab you for whatever reason . you make it to the hospital safely . then what ? how are you gon na convince franco to turn against carly ? ava : i 'll think of something . this is the only move i have . sabrina : carlos , what do you mean ? how does any of this make sense ? carlos : well , i - i could n't figure out why some kid would deliberately run you off the road , but you said that someone made him . that 's -- that 's what makes sense . sabrina : are you certain that 's all ? carlos : yes . sabrina : carlos . carlos : of course . sabrina : i know you . you 're hiding something . carlos : i 'm not hiding anything . sabrina : then why wo n't you look at me ? carlos : [ sighs ] sabrina : is this about the accident ? oh , my god . do you know who told rafe to run us off the road ? silas : i might remind you that you were involved with ava at the same time . franco : i was n't married . [ cell phone rings ] franco : and those vows mean something . at least they do to your wife . is that her now ? silas : it 's none of your business . well , franco , this is 12 minutes of my life i 'll never get back . i 'll see you around . franco : see you . nina : i had so many plans . for a life and a child . everything was taken away from me . why is everything taken away from me ? collins . done feeling sorry for myself . i 'm not gon na feel sorry for myself . not feeling sorry for myself . i 'm having silas ' baby one way or another . carlos : i was in a holding cell when the accident went down . how could i possibly know who put the kid up to it ? sabrina : i do n't know , but you do . i can see it in your eyes . carlos : [ sighs ] you need to stop asking questions . sabrina : my child died . if i do n't get my answers from you , i 'm gon na get them somewhere else . carlos : you go looking into this , you 're gon na wind up dead yourself . sabrina : i do n't understand . carlos : do n't you get it ? i am trying to protect you . sabrina : protect me ? protect me from who ? carlos : ava jerome . ava : i 'll be right back , boys . wait here . oh ! oh , i am -- i 'm so sorry . britt : hey . nikolas : hi . britt : is everything okay ? nikolas : y - yes . uh , i was just coming by to see if there 's any word on my sister . britt : me , too . and to see how nathan 's holding up . but the desk sergeant said he is n't here , that he and dante are following up on some lead . levi : we need to get out of here before they trace that call you made . i hate to move up the boss 's timetable , but better to arrive at our final destination early than not at all . maxie : boss ? what boss ? levi : shut up ! maxie : where are you taking us ? dante : [ over bullhorn ] peter harrell ! come out with your hands in the air ! we have you surrounded ! tuesday on `` general hospital `` -- franco : ( to carly ) something 's bothering you . i know what it is . kiki : ( to silas ) is nina just a rebound ? ava : ( to nina ) i know who you are . sabrina : ( to carlos ) did ava kill my son ? sonny : ( to michael and morgan ) all we can do is wait . nathan : ( to dante ) if negotiations fail , we got ta have a plan b . maxie : ( to levi ) surrender , dorothy ! levi : shut up !
